FIRST FUTURES FUNDS, FINALLY
Independent previews
By BRAD PERRY THE inaugural grant as part of the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund has been delivered, more than 13 months after the State Government scheme was announced. A Riverland fruit growers’ alliance is the first to access the funding with more than $20,000 going to a joint venture by the South Australian Fresh Fruit Growers Association and South Australian Dried Tree Fruits Association to prepare a business and marketing plan to market new apricot varieties. ■ Continued Page 3

Important visitors TWO visitors, each new to their role, will be in the region over the next two days. Murray Darling Basin Authority chief Craig Knowles and State Government Regional Development Minister Gail Gago will both bring open minds to the region, to hear what we have to say. It is an acknowledgement that our voice is being heard and the lobbying that local people have been doing is reaping some benefits. Mr Knowles has stated that the MDBA draft plan guide that was released last year was misguided and, in good news for our region, SA’s water efficiency will be taken into account in the revised document. Minister Gago will be delivering, finally, news of the first grant under the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund. She will also be viewing other potential projects for the program that is to help return the Riverland to the powerhouse it was in the late 90s. The Riverland must press its case to each of these representatives, as it is they, who, through future politicking, will help to see our region return to a position of strength.

Knowles in region to listen MURRAY Darling Basin Authority chair Craig Knowles believes the Basin Plan draft guide paid disrespect to Riverland communities and will investigate many concerns during his whirlwind tour of the region today. Mr Knowles will be shown the impact of exited irrigation properties, the high rivers at Lock 4 and will meet with several local stakeholders, growers and community members. “My presence as the new chairman sends a message that there’s an opportunity here to relook at a whole lot of the concerns, pick up on the issues that were raised by not only the Riverland communities but right throughout the basin and try and do a better job,” Mr Knowles told the Riverland Weekly yesterday. “I think, frankly, the guide paid a great deal of disrespect to local communities, people who had things they wanted to say and were effectively shut out of the process and that’s just a matter of sad fact but it is a fact and it’s important that I say that.
REPORT BY
BRAD PERRY “We want a healthy working basin and we’re very keen to make sure that people understand that and the best way I can do that, in this very early start of my job, is to come and talk to people and that’s what I am doing.” South Australian irrigators’ efficiency, which was ignored in the initial basin plan guide with proposed cuts at more than 35 per cent, must be taken into account, according to Mr Knowles. “The efficient capabilities of the South Australian communities are well known and those things need to be taken into consideration and understood,” he said. “What I really want to see and hear firsthand is how these people do things because I think there are probably some lessons for other parts of the basin. “One of the other problems
I think, frankly, the guide paid a great deal of disrespect to local communities.
with the guide is it obviously didn’t have enough respect for social and economic considerations.” Basin Community Committee member Jeff Parish, who helped organise Mr Knowles visit, said it is important he is shown the effects of the devastating water cuts proposed in the Basin Plan draft guide.
“My view is he will hear what the plan means to the Riverland,” he said. “We will show him what we call the Swiss cheese effect on blocks, where they are taken out of production and get him to speak to some growers and hear firsthand what the water cuts really do mean.”

School expresses support for earthquake victims GLOSSOP High School students are reaching out to Japan following the worst recorded earthquake in history, measuring an astonishing 9.0 on the Richter scale. Glossop is a sister school to Kyoai Gakuen High School, located around 300 kilometres from Japan’s worst hit city Sendai. Every two years, Glossop sends students to spend a term in Japan, in exchange with Kyoai Gakuen High. The students, who ventured over to Japan most recently in December, still have the memories of their visit lingering in their minds and remain in touch with their host families. Student Cameron Grosse has been keeping in touch with his host family through Skype. Japanese studies teacher Laura Carrington, who spent a year teaching in the Asian country, said she is sad to see the tragedy in Japan unfold. “I can’t watch the news, it’s too upsetting,” Miss Carrington said. “Nothing at the school has been damaged but other parts of Japan are devastated.” Kingsley Watchman, who also teaches Japanese, said he had received very little information about Kyoai Gakuen High, other than they had to evacuate

started getting worried and I felt relieved when I knew they were fine.” Mrs Maskell’s family lives in Tokyo, about 300 kilometres from Sendai. She said she continually checks the status of the earthquake on the internet. “It’s very heartbreaking to see that happen to your home country,” she said.

The first round of grants through the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund was expected to be released last year but a State Government reshuffle is believed to have caused the delay. SA Dried Tree Fruits Association chairman and Waikerie grower Kris Werner said the funding means consultants can now push forward with the project. “What it (the funding) has done is it has allowed us to research the viability of the whole plan and then it will tell us how many numbers we can put in the ground and profitability of it and everything,” he said. “We can then go forward and promote the industry to a level that is going to be sustaining.” SA Fresh Fruit Growers Association chair Dino Cerrachi said the funding will help push the project forward. “This grant means that we can now explore the full potential of a new marketing approach for these outstanding varieties bred in the Riverland,” he said. Currently several of the new apricot varieties, including river early and river bite, are being trialled on local properties. “I’ve been very happy with all of them,” Mr Werner said. State Regional Development Minister Gail Gago, who will be in the Riverland for a two day visit from today, said the funding is vital to the region. “There is an opportunity for the Riverland to supply sweet apricot varieties developed by South Australian researchers,” she said. “The industry has spent 27 years breeding these uniquely flavoured varieties and we’re confident they will be a commercial success. “The aim is to re-establish the Riverland as the hub of Australian apricot production.” Minister Gago said the futures fund was established to assist with industry restructuring and to promote sustainable economic and social development in the Riverland. “The $20 million fund is accessible by industry and businesses to fund projects that improve infrastructure, support industry attraction and help grow existing businesses,” the minister said. The prospectus, around which the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund is built, was launched in February last year under the wing of the Riverland Futures Taskforce.

Bigger citrus crop expected 20,000 tonnes. “This represents a return to more normal conditions such as 2009, when the navel crop was about 82,000 tonnes,” Mr Walker said. Other citrus varieties such as mandarins (6000 tonnes up on 2010), tangelos (2200 tonnes up on last year), grapefruit (300 tonnes up on last year) and lemons (3200 tonnes up on last year) are expected to prosper in the region.

and drop almonds on the ground and in that sense you are placing a bet. “We need to be above 30 degrees to do much in terms of drying almonds on the ground.” With the season running two weeks late, Mr Martin said there is concern as the harvest edges closer to winter. “Firstly, it has been cool and wet so we've started late and it has continued cool and wet so we haven't got any good drying conditions and there has been a fair bit of fungal disease,” he said.

INCREASED orchard plantings and growing global demand will see the Australian almond industry produce a record crop this harvest. Cooltong almond grower Scott Petersen is one of many Australian growers with young trees and is hopeful of producing a good crop this season with the almond harvest well under way. “There's probably a bit more than what I first estimated on the trees, which is a nice thing,” he said. “It's up because my trees are still young and the crops are increasing each year at the moment.” Mr Petersen, who decided to invest in almonds after growing winegrapes, said he has picked his main variety, nonpareil. “We've got a lot of winegrapes and didn't think it was a very good option to plant any more of them and thought almonds would be a nice way to go,” Mr Petersen said. “It's a long term proj-
ect when you plant a new orchard like that, it's a few years before you start reaping any rewards off of it.” On the eve of this year's harvest, the Almond Board of Australia predicted an increase in production of 18.3 per cent for the season's crop across the country, estimated to be 45,400 tonnes. The board forecasts crop levels to reach 80,000 tonnes by 2015, with 65 per cent of Australian almonds exported to 40 countries. Despite expected record harvest numbers, Riverland growers were affected by unpredictable weather over summer, causing light flowering of nonpareil and challenging conditions for pollination and fruit set. Renmark almond grower Tom Martin said his overall crop yields were 15 per cent down due to the seasonal weather. “I've been doing this for 45 years and I've never seen anything like this,” he said. “I liken it to playing roulette...each day you've got to get up and start the shaker

THE Riverland community has rallied behind former Indigenous Community Development Officer (ICDO) Ashley Couzens in hope his position will be reinstated. Funding to extend Mr Couzens’ 12 month contract is not available and his position was made redundant but local organisations are disatisfied. Flinders University Rural Clinical School lecturer Heather Burton said she was disappointed to learn Mr Couzens was not recognised for his work through ongoing support for his position. “The appointment of Ashley to his position by your council was inspired
■ Ashley Couzens. and it has been wonderful to see work and dedication to the community begin to bear fruit,” she wrote in a letter to the Berri Barmera Council. “Many important developments will be slowed down, or thwarted, by the loss of indigenous leadership within our council.” Riverland Division of General Practice chief executive officer Bron Ma-
rie said the position had helped create opportunities in the Berri Barmera communities. “Last year saw more opportunities for partnerships between agencies that provide services to the Riverland Aboriginal community than in previous years, which Ashley has played a part in and would be of benefit to the Aboriginal community to continue,” she wrote. Housing SA Murray and Fleurieu Region manager Molly Wakely said the position has been a valuable asset, providing Housing SA with information and a liaison point to engage with the Gerard community. “The ICDO has provided valuable advice, cultural brokerage and an
effective liaison point between Housing SA, the council and the broader Riverland Aboriginal community,” she wrote. Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton said the ICDO position is the only one of its kind in rural South Australia and said council will lobby for further funding to reinstate it. “We’ll be using them (letters from the community) as a basis to try and get more funding to try and continue that position,” he said. “It’s difficult that you build a better relationship with the aboriginal community and then the very position that’s helping build that relationship is taken away.”

Councils increase spend on controlling mossie threat By BRAD PERRY MOSQUITO control is costing Riverland councils tens of thousands of dollars, with costs expected to increase in coming weeks, despite the river’s peak having passed. The Berri Barmera Council initially allocated over $13,000 to mosquito and wasp control in its district for the current financial year but at the end of January, was forced to add almost another $10,000 to the budget to control the matter. The council spent nearly $6500 in January alone to combat the problem. “Our collection numbers have been high and we’ve had the contractor come in and do some spraying as well,� Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton
■THREAT: The cost of controlling mosquitoes is expected to rise. said. “Even in September, we had our highest mosquito numbers. “They have been up high for a long time and they probably will be for quite a while.� The Renmark Paringa Council also added $8000 to its mosquito
control budget after recent high rainfall saw the pests escalate across the region. Mr Beaton said until river levels drop, mosquitoes will continue to be an issue. “Before we can do a lot, we really need the water to go back,� he said. “With the water moving backwards and forwards, we put the chemical out and it could be a kilometre away by the next day. “We’ll spend more money on spraying later.� SA Health has also warned Riverland residents and visitors to protect themselves against mosquitoes following the detection of Kunjin virus near Berri as part of mosquito surveillance last week. “Recent testing has shown there

Spectacular blooms attract crowds By CALLUM TRIFONOFF WITH a wide range of flowers present, the Berri Town Hall erupted into a colourful and fragrant display of Riverland gardening talent yesterday. The two day Riverland Floral Spectacular is proving to be a treat for floral enthusiasts. The show has attracted worldwide interest, with judges from England and the USA, as well as visiting enthusiasts from all over Australia. Organiser John Menzel said it was pleasing to see the Berri Town Hall abundant with flowers. “It really is delightful (to see this happen),� Mr Menzel said. “We’re getting people from places like America and everywhere come here to be involved, it’s just great.� Among the participants are Queensland couple Malcolm and Betty Balch who travelled to the region from Stanthorpe, to take up the role of stewards for the show. Mr Balch said it was a treat to be involved in such a colourful and amazing show.
“Absolutely, (being involved in shows like this) is really addictive,� Mr Balch laughed. “Most people here are very pleased to see all the beautiful flowers. “I think it’s just nice to enjoy beauty when you can see it. “The Spectacular really brings people in.� It is the first time the Balchs have taken part in the Spectacular but is not their first visit to the region. “We’re enjoying our stay here and we’ll be able to go back to Queensland and tell them how it’s done on the southern stage,� Mr Balch said. “There are similar shows in Stanthorpe and Brisbane as well.� Mr Balch is teaming up with local floral guru Les Williams, who is a judge at the Spectacular, to learn the ropes about floral competitions. “I’m very pleased to be going with (Les) and hopefully learning something about Riverland flowers,� Mr Balch said. The Riverland Floral Spectacular will continue today at the Berri Town Hall. ■Rains bring out native flowers, Page 7.

Comedian kicks back to Mallee memories for new show...
Lehmo shows sport’s not all about playing for sheep stations SPORT is a serious matter but not if you are comedian Anthony Lehmann. For the past three weeks Lehmann has been sharing a variety of sporting stories culled from his time playing cricket and football with Brown’s Well as part of his Adelaide Fringe g show Lehmo Has White Line Fever. Lehmann grew up on a Peebinga farming property and his show is a nostalgic look back at a time when Brown’s Well sportsmen were his heroes. “Writing the show was lots of fun because I was able to remember back all of those years,” Lehmann said. “I became nostalgic,

AFTER living in Berri for 35 years, Pat Noyce recently said farewell to a community she has grown fond of. Pat and her husband Vic moved to the Riverland 35 years ago from Mclaren Vale with the prospect of a new venture, involving growing citrus trees. Since then, Pat has played an active role in the community, heavily involved in St Catherine’s and the Berri Cottage Homes. However, Pat and Vic have decided to move closer to their daughter Iris on Kangaroo Island. “We only have one child and she lives in Kangaroo Island, so I decided I needed someone to back me up in an emergency,” she said. While Pat is sad to leave Berri, she knows a sea change will be good for her. “It’s (Berri) a lovely town with really friendly people but I love the sea, so that will be nice to be close to the sea,” she said.

After shifting to the region in 1975, Pat decided growing eight acres of oranges was not going to bring in enough income with her husband in early retirement, so she worked as a waitress at the Wine Barrel restaurant. “My husband had retired very young and we decided to have a go at growing oranges,” she said. “It was very nice but eight acres was not enough to make a living off.” Pat remembers the town being a haven for activity, with many shops open. “Berri was bustling and a really

dynamic town,” she said. “It was really, really buzzing and it’s been a shame to see things really go down, I hope it comes back again.” Following her waitressing work, Pat became interested in the media and worked for the ABC, Radio 5RM and The Advertiser in a career she was very passionate about. “I approached The Advertiser because they used to have what they call country sections, so I worked for The Advertiser for quite a while and that’s when I learnt how to use a computer and how to use a modem, which is somewhat different to what we have now,” Pat laughed. “To me, it was like a drug working for the media, I loved it. “I’m a nosey person, I love people.” Pat will miss writing newsletters Chatterbox and the Senior Grapevine for the senior citizens community. Pat’s family and friends held a farewell party for her at the Berri Senior Citizen’s Club last week.

SA Water is in the early stages of planning construction of a new building for its River Murray Operations Unit (RMOU) in Berri. Last year, the company approached a local builder to prepare conceptual designs for a new, green star rated office for its RMOU. A new facility would replace the ageing facility the RMOU currently occupies. An SA Water spokesperson said despite the company assessing the feasibility of the proposal, it is not a done deal. “Prior to seeking funding for the proposed new office, SA Water is required to have a costed proposal, plans drawn up and a business case prepared,” he said. “This is currently occurring and to date no commitment has been made to build the new office. “The proposal is still in the very early stages and we are continuing to work on the plans and a business case.” SA Water was unable to provide details of the location where the new office would be located if plans proceed.

Rains bring beaut blooms By BRAD PERRY HEAVY summer rains have contributed to an abundance of what are normally rare native plant species sprouting across the Riverland. In what is being described as the best natural regeneration of vegetation in many decades, colourful and previously unsighted plants are being spotted around local wetlands. Renmark to the Border Local Action Planning Association project manager Phil Reddy said species such as the red flowering Murray lily have not been seen in the region for 30 years, until now. “We are finding species of plants we have never recorded in certain areas,” he said. “With rain events we have had, there is no doubt this year we will see plants pop up we’ve never seen before.” Donated flush water at places such as Pike River has also been a major factor in giving vegetation a new lease on life. Renmark LAP has set up a system to pump water via a drip system to irrigate plant life. “We came up with the concept of flushing water and capturing it, settling out the sediment and putting the water through,” Mr Reddy said. “Normally, the flushing water, the grower would use that water to irrigate other trees or exotic trees and in this case, we’ve asked him if he could donate the water to us and basically this is our first one that has probes in the ground.” The probes connected to the watering system give the ability for the LAP to see how much water native plants use via an internet webpage.

Group celebrates 18 years of fun By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Riverland Antenatal Group has, since 1992, been supporting locals as they venture into parenthood. Five families, the Sully, Rischbeith, Knight, Liddell and Feher families, started the group back in 1992, all then new parents. Julie Feher, of the Friends of the Child Youth and Health, said the group has been a great meeting place for local parents with newborns.
“After the babies were born, we bonded together at the new mums’ group,” Mrs Feher said. “We used to meet every week and have a chat and after that, the group just kept growing and growing.” Last year marked the group's 18th anniversary and a reunion was held for the families. “It was great seeing everyone together again and seeing the mums and where they were up to in their lives,” Mrs Feher said.
“We've always been keeping in touch through things like Christmas cards and email but to get everyone together again, especially when people's lives get busy, is fantastic.” Mrs Feher said one family had moved to Western Australia and returned for the event. “I think it's (something) to encourage that you shouldn't miss a good opportunity to make lifelong friends,” she said. “The antenatal group certainly helps do that.”
RECENT rains have also unearthed finds of a different kind, former Aboriginal meeting sites estimated to be up to 10,000 years old. Shells, ochre and rocks used for cooking around campfires thousands of years ago have resurfaced in a very rare event, according to Renmark LAP project manager Phil Reddy. “You can see when you go around the Pike, there’s lots of areas where...because of the rain we’ve had it’s exposed all the shells and also the rocks that have been heated up when they’ve been cooking on fireplaces,” Mr Reddy said. “They’ve also had these big places to cook cod in the clay. “Up to 5000 to 10,000 years old some of the stuff could be.” Mr Reddy said the rains had also unwashed similar sites in hundreds of different places across the region, including at Chowilla and Katarapko. If similar sites are found, people are advised to leave them alone and not alter them.

The river’s majestic charm With the River Murray reaching its peak recently, Riverland Weekly editor Rob McLean borrowed a canoe and ventured along the river, where he found peace and tranquility. I RECENTLY heard of a retired journalist who is now writing books about walking. I wondered how could you go from major media player, to someone who writes books about something so seemingly mundane. Then last week, I took a leisurely paddle in a canoe along the River Murray near Loxton and, all of a sudden, the answer became clear to me. It is peaceful, relaxing and calming. Having lived in the Riverland for over 13 years now, I like most locals, have spent plenty of time on the water. However, given the time between high rivers, I’ve never had the chance to see the river like this. The mighty Murray is flowing at a rapid pace, forging new watercourses and filling waterholes that have long been dry. The birdlife is beautiful and the fish are jumping. The wetlands along Loxton’s riverfront look like an inland sea and paddling on them
provided me with an entirely new view of this environment. Meandering along a stretch of water that is usually a road is interesting, while watching two different streams of water coming together on Habel’s Bend proved disorientating. Making my way across to Katarapko Island and heading towards its centre, provided an extra vicarious thrill. This is nature at its best and most beautiful, showing us that as much as we try with locks and weirs, we cannot control the river. We are still behoven to Mother Nature. Paddling a canoe during a high river is just another one of those Riverland things you must do, a simple pleasure much undervalued. Maybe, like the retired journalist at the start of this piece, I will one day write a book about the great canoe trips available to us in our region…

RIVERLAND AGRICULTURE
ADVERTISING FEATURE
Company celebrates its first birthday A
FTER just 12 months on the scene, Riverland Ag-Services has made a big splash in the local horticultural and agricultural sectors. The company held a first birthday bash earlier this month to celebrate the occasion of its first anniversary, inviting its many and varied clients to the occasion. Riverland Ag-Services branch manager Damien Hunt said the clients have made the business a success in its first year. Around 150 clients attended the function, indicating the great relationships Riverland Ag-Services has developed over the past year. “We’re really happy with the support we’ve had over the past year,” Mr Hunt said. “We’ve had great support from the horticulture and broadacre farming communities.” At the celebrations, clients were treated to a barbecue and drinks, along with presentations from supply companies. Former AFL footballer and Central District premiership player Paul Geister was among the agents present for the big day. With a strong season past and good subsoil moisture as a result of unseasonal summer rains, Mr Hunt said the business is looking forward to an excellent 2011.
“The broadacre farming community have great expectations for the year ahead,” he said. “With lots of subsoil moisture, that should be achievable with the right conditions.” Bearing that in mind, Riverland Ag-Services is doing everything it can to ensure that it has enough fertiliser in stock to keep the local farming community appropriately supplied. While predominantly servicing the Riverland and Mallee broadacre and farming and horticultural industry, Mr Hunt said the business also supplies a wide range of handy household domestic products. Rainwater tanks are also a specialty at Riverland Ag-Services. With mouse numbers on the rise across the region, Riverland Ag-Services also have a wide range of control options, including different baits and pesticides. Whether you are a broadacre farmer, horticultural grower, or local homeowner needing some specialist help with mice or weeds, Riverland Ag-Services can help you out. “We’re really looking forward to the next 12 months,” Mr Hunt said. Riverland Ag-Services is located at 43 Robertson Avenue, Loxton, and can be contacted on 8584 4826.

Thinking about retirement? A
re you expecting to retire soon? Here are some great tips to help you improve your outlook. With retirement on the horizon, you may be asking yourself a number of questions, such as:
â– How much can I spend in retirement? According to calculations from the Investment and Financial Services Association (IFSA), most Australians will need approximately 65 per cent of their preretirement income to maintain their current lifestyle in retirement. This means that if you are currently earning $70,000 a year, it is estimated that you will need about $45,500 a year to maintain your current lifestyle in retirement.
â– COMFORTABLE: The right retirement plan will ensure you are sitting comfortably when you reach your golden years.

■How long will my super last? If you are not sure how much you’ll be able to spend in retirement, the first step is to work out how long your existing superannuation savings are likely to last. This is a combination of how much you want to spend in retirement, your life expectancy and the cost and performance of your fund during your retirement. If you are planning to retire at age 65, the research suggests that you are likely to live for another 20 years. The average Australian woman at age 65 has a life expectancy of about 86 years and the figure for Australian men is about 83 years*. ■What can I do to improve my retirement lifestyle? There are a number of simple things that you can do to improve your retirement. Firstly, there is your retirement age. Who says you have to retire at age 65?

RUTHERFORD You might like to retire a little later or earlier. Then there is your annual income in retirement. Reducing the amount of income you require in retirement just slightly can have a big impact on how long your funds can last. Generally speaking, the more income you draw each year, the faster your money will run out. If you are still working, you could consider consolidating multiple super accounts and topping up your super. Even just a little extra now could make a big difference at retirement. ■What mix of assets can help make my money last longer? You can also look at how you structure your assets. As a general rule, Centrelink treats assets held inside and outside of super differently, so you might like to investigate the effect of changing the amount of assets you hold outside of super. Restructuring your assets may impact the amount of Centrelink benefits you receive and the amount of tax that you pay. You might also want to think about how your funds are invested. It obviously depends on how comfortable you are with risk but the general rule is that more aggressive mixes come with the potential for greater returns – but the risk of lower returns is also higher. We can help you decide on the most appropriate asset mix for your personal circumstances. ■Want to know more? We have a range of smart strategies to help you build for a better retirement.

RIVER MURRAY TRAINING AGDIVERSIFICATION DI PROGRAM
The importance of investigating the market By Geoff Simmons, Four M Consulting and Training, marketing and management consultants.
Diversifying is not easy, so before you commit your money you need to look at the future market, not just today’s.
M
ANY of you will have heard of the 4Ps of marketing; product, price, place and promotion, but I believe there are also four Ms. The four Ms are that marketing makes more money. Now back to the 4Ps, or should I say 10. The extra 6Ps are: planning, presearch, people (the target), positioning, professionalism and persistence. ■ PLANNING: Set out a simple plan about how and when you will conduct presearch, how you will receive and record every piece of information you collect. Look at where you wish to position your product and how you will act professionally at all times. Set goals and be persistent at achieving and growing those goals. ■ PRESEARCH: This involves the first investigations of whether there is a market for a current or new product or service, or one you are thinking of inventing. This is usually done by
■ NEW OPTIONS: Members of the newly created Agdiversification Steering Committee (from left) are Chris Byrne, Barb McPherson and Brian Leckie.

You most likely have had a person ring you at dinner time to ask if you have a few minutes to answer a few questions.
■ PEOPLE (TARGET): This is the situation where you already have a product or service and need to sell more of it, or the same amount at a better price, or prefera both. In this case, you are look-
ing for a new target market. This new market may mean selling your product or service to a new group of people, or changing your product slightly to make it more usable or valued by
Concerned about your future in Primary Production? Come and join the Ag-Diversification program and re-think your business.

your existing customers. Look at the mobile phone: who would have believed that we would have mobile phones that can take pictures or videos and send that same picture to an email address, or that you would watch the cricket on a mobile’s screen? Or, of course, surf the internet? All the phone manufacturers did was change their product slightly and a new use was found. Do you know who buys your product and are they the end consumer? With your product you need to target people who are more likely to buy your product so you get better value from your advertising dollar. This could mean simply sitting on the phone and ringing a few of the right people. A good car salesperson in the country will notice your car when it is serviced, or when he meets you in the street and thinks “yes, it is getting on in years, yes, it has been a good year, you could easily afford a new car” and he will give you a ring.
■ POSITION: You need to position your product in the right market. Sometimes this is called a niche. This means you could have a good, better, best or small, medium, large range of products. But if you think you only have one product, find a way to make two. This may simply mean having two prices or two sizes for the same product but with different levels of service or value. Check out the supermarket and see how much per gram it is in small packs compared to large ones. ■ PROFESSIONALISM: Always act in a professional manner. Keep people informed of what is happening and also what is not happening. If there has been a delay which is longer than expected, let your clients know, do not wait for them to ring you to find out what is happening. Do you like delays and not being told why? ■ PERSISTENCE: Developing a market takes time, so don’t set unrealistic goals, but be persistent. There are many stories around of successful people who got there by pure persistence and certainly were not overnight successes. Now many of you will sell commodities and think this does not apply to me. Well, think again. Hay was a commodity a few years ago, until someone discovered a new export market for it. Yes, it had to be in smaller parcels and had to be of a specific quality but it has been very successful. Another example is pea straw. Years ago it was a nuisance and had to be burnt or turned in. Now look at how much it costs to buy pea straw in a plastic bag. There are always opportunities out there. Find the right people and make it happen. ■ This is the second of a four part series discussing agricultural diversification.

FEEDING YOUR SNAKE
■ LEARNING: Student teacher Apryl Krollig at work with Berri Primary School student Chris Karagiannis. Photo: JANE WILSON
Teaching students are here to learn
THE two most common breeds of snakes as pets, the children’s python and the carpet python, prefer different food. The children’s python will eat live adult mice and lizards but will also eat both frozen. Young pythons should be eating young mice when they are growing, while adults can handle the bigger ones. The carpet python prefers warm-blooded food, such as
rodents or chicken. It is best if you keep meals small and feed the animals weekly or fortnightly. If overfed, the pythons can be vulnerable to obesity and could become seriously ill. Always have a water bowl available in the snake’s habitat in case it requires a nice drink. Water should be the only liquid fed to them.
■ PET: Despite their reputation, snakes can make wonderful pets. Photo: SUPPLIED
HOUSING YOUR SNAKE LIKE all snakes, pythons, albeit placid creatures, will bite if they feel harmed, so keep them housed in a terrarium. Make sure you do not overcrowd the habitat and do not feed both snakes at the same time if you choose to have more than one, as you do not wish to encourage competition and aggression. Children’s pythons should have an indoor terrarium at least 60 centimetres in length, best suiting two snakes. Carpets should have a tank that is no less than 50 centimetres deep and 100 centimetres high and wide. Have the tank as high as possible, as snakes have a treedwelling nature and a natu-
ral desire to climb. Throw in a few branches to satisfy their climbing nature. As a base, recycled kitty litter is a good substrate as it holds heat and is absorbent. Have a thermostatically controlled heat lamp installed in the terrarium as well. This will keep the snake warm throughout the day and the snake must be provided with a day/night cycle using a UV light. To heat the snake’s terrarium from below, a heat pad is a good idea. The total cost of a complete terrarium (60 centimetres), is usually around $800.
By CALLUM TRIFONOFF SCHOOLS across the region are providing on the job experiences for student teachers as part of a new program, among them Berri Primary School. Flinders University student and former Berri resident Apryl Krollig is currently teaching at Berri on a six-month practical, taking joint charge of the year six-seven class. “It’s fantastic so far, the staff and students have been really welcoming,” Miss Krollig said. “It’s been a really good introduction.” Miss Krollig said it ha been a childhood dream of hers to become a teacher. “All of my school year books since grade three have me saying I want to become one somewhere in them,” she laughed. “I just love interacting with the students, helping them build on prior knowledge and getting them to achieve their goals.”
MAINTAINING YOUR SNAKE C CHARLOTTE ELLIOTT TTEEN PERSPECTIVE
Is school as bad as we make it out to be? I KNOW all of us students are a little disappointed that school’s back - new teachers, new books and new opportunities – but is it really such torture? Think of those old-fashioned schools that maybe your parents or grandparents have told you about. Imagine being thrashed with the cane until bruised, or having to stand in a corner. In comparison, a school today seems incredibly soft. School can be considered torture in modern times though. Most kids whine, “why do we have to do homework?” I don’t see the point in homework myself. We spend all day studying in different classes at school, so why shouldn’t we have a rest at home? The teachers at my school, Glossop High, are all very nice, as are the students, my peers who I have enjoyed getting to know. Funnily, the most common question people ask about my column is whether I get paid. Year eight students always get nervous on the first day of high school, I sure did. I just stood there quietly, scuffing my school shoes and feeling small in my neat, new uniform. Adults and older people always bang on about great opportunities and making new friends - but school is much more than that. There are more advanced lessons, more sport challenges, new equipment and foreign exchanges. Now I’m not bagging primary school as they can be really cool but it’s certainly not as eventful (I think that’s the right choice of word) as high school. The longer I’m at high school, the less I miss primary school.
SNAKES have a healthy lifespan of 25 to 30 years and are not likely to suffer any serious health problems. Some bacterial and fungal problems can occur though. Snakes will need attention and assistance when their skin is shedding and make sure, when-
ever it needs it, you take your snake to see a veterinarian who specialises in reptiles. Keep your snake indoors and in a controlled climate as much as possible. If you have children under 10, it is recommended you do not purchase a snake.

incorporating uninterrupted panoramic views, this property will be the envy of family and friends and is located on the fringe of Berri, offering total convenience to its next occupants. This residential countryside property is like glossy picture pages taken from a House and Garden magazine and the manicured grounds remain impeccable due to computerised watering and a labour of love all year round. The home is a gorgeous brick veneer, colourbond roofed residence established on a one acre allotment that will allow therapeutic scenic views over the expansive wetlands and towards Bookpurnong Hill. The water views allow sights in almost every direction and it is almost like living on the esplanade of a seashore address. Four bedrooms and three have
built-in robes with the master retreat offering stunning en-suite and large walk-in-robe. Functional living areas, both formal and private, were planned for a quality lifestyle to be enjoyed with privacy and function in mind and also to be enjoyed by the family members and maybe guests that will indulge when they come to visit. Whilst there are two internal living areas for majestic living and dining, from the front is a completely sheltered expansive decking which allows therapeutic thoughts whilst enjoying both the sunrise and sunset views. The home runs on rainwater with generous supply and good quality colourbond shedding, plus garden tidy sheds will be welcomed by the occupants. This property is just “fuller” features on Fuller Road.

Famous St Pat’s quiz MICK McAppion of Lameroo has had his thinking hat on again recently, as he and Lameroo Catholic Women’s League president Sharon Woodfield set the questions for the 2011 Saint Patrick’s Quiz Night, which will be held tomorrow night at the Lameroo Bowling Club. This is the ninth consecutive year the branch has organised the quiz night and Sharon said the branch is most appreciative of the support shown each year. Mick is the genial quiz master again this year and always manages to come up with a few new Irish jokes for the occasion.

■ TALENT: Tasman Wood was the winner of the recent Waikerie’s Got Talent competition.
■ AWARD WINNERS: Berri Tall Poppies members (from left), Nicola Hayes, Lisa Cmrlec, Rachel Schulz and Lauren and Olivia Sully receiving their honours at the Duke of Edinburgh awards.
REWARDED for service to the community in a variety of ways, the Berri Tall Poppies received bronze medals at the Duke of Edinburgh award presentations recently. The Tall Poppies, part of the Berri Girl Guides, were the only Riverland representatives at the ceremony and Girl Guides co-ordinator Rosalie Richards said she was proud of their efforts. “I felt very excited for them,” Mrs Richards said. “They worked hard and did interesting things in four different sections.” The four sections were
skills, recreation, service and camps. “For skills, they did a variety of interesting activities, including learning to drive and fashion designing,” Mrs Richards said. “In recreation, they played netball and hockey and for service, they coached younger netball teams and helped the junior guides. “All of them went on a canoe camp and gained their canoe certificate.” The Tall Poppies, Nicola Hayes, Lisa Cmrlec, Rachel Schulz and Lauren and Olivia Sully, also took part in ANZAC Day services in Adelaide.
BARMERA woman Tiffany Nurk knows a good cause when she sees one and currently is trying to raise $800 for the people in the Trincomalee area in Sri Lanka. Tiffany, who sponsors two children in the area, said Trincomalee has suffered from bad flooding recently having only just recovered from the tsunami experienced early last decade. “Australia is already handing out food parcels as no one can get anywhere to obtain food and I would like to assist a bit more,” Tiffany said. “The money raised will go to Childfund Australia, which will then be used in Trincomalee.” To donate, go to w w w. e v e r y d a y h e r o . com.au/tiffany_nurk
Baking search finds a king and queen THE search for the baking queen and king of the Riverland is over with the first baking competition being held at the Bonney Theatre recently. Barmera woman Pauline Stevens was the overall winner with her Christmas cake proving to be special eating. She was followed closely by fellow Barmera resident Jenny Marshall (banana cake) and Kingston-on-Murray’s Miriam van der Woude (brownies). Renmark man Bogden Krawczuk was awarded a special merit for his chocolate cake, while Berri’s Bradley Muller narrowly missed out on the prize. A preserves competition will be held as part of the Barmera markets on Sunday, April 3.
JIMEOIN AT THE CHAFFEY
■ POSER: Jimeoin caught up with Chaffey Theatre manager Sharlene Martin (top left) and Renmark’s Heath Pillen (above) after his performance.
■ COMEDY SHOW: Well known comedian Jimeoin performed at the Chaffey Theatre, Renmark, recently and like a true gentleman he was very happy to pose for some pictures with his fans, including Loxton’s Sophie Cass, after the show.
■ FACIALS: Entering a funny face competition with Jimeoin are Chris (left) and Todd Storry, of Renmark.

■ SPEED: Holden driver Karl Reindler leads the pack during a recent race in Abu Dhabi.
HEN it comes to the Clipsal 500 Adelaide, Western Australian Holden V8 Supercar driver Karl Reindler knows it will be his toughest assignment of the season. The former open wheeler racing star is realistic about his chances on the unforgiving Adelaide street circuit, with the event beginning today. “If I can get into the top 10, that’s a realistic goal and I think if I can do that in one of the races, I’d be over the moon and the team would be very happy with that,” Reindler told the Riverland Weekly. “On the track, it’s a bumpy circuit and it’s going to be hot this time of year in Adelaide, so it’s always tough. “I think last year I lost between two and three kilograms in each race just in fluids and I’d expect the same this year.
REPORT BY
BRAD PERRY “It is by far the toughest race all year for us.” Reindler has a background in speed, racing go-karts in his younger years before excelling behind the wheel of Formula 3, where he was the 2004 Australian Formula 3 Champion and he also represented Australia in A1 Grand Prix. Reindler raced on the international sportscar circuit before converting to V8s, earning the Mike Kable Young Gun Award for the best first year driver after competing in the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series three years ago.

Reindler ready for big race challenge ■ DINKUM: Karl Reindler (pictured left), and in his V8 Holden, is looking forward to getting fair dinkum on Adelaide’s tough street circuit this week. Photos: Supplied
■ Craig Maskell.
Craig looks forward to race rush
■ From Page 25 It has been a “long, long road” for Reindler, swapping from open wheel to V8 Supercars. “The technique in which I drive is still very similar to how I drive an open wheeler or Formula 3 in A1 GP but more than anything, having a roof on your head, you are going from a car that’s the perfect race car, it’s built from the ground up to a big, heavy V8 supercar, lots of power, not a great deal of grip,” he said. “You’ve got to change your approach and mentality and you’ve got to be very patient with the car.” This year’s Clipsal 500 has been classed ‘the street fight of the century’ with last year’s winner James Courtney and challenger Jamie Whincup set to provide much entertainment and Reindler is hoping to mix it
with the best. “I’m only 25 years old and I grew up watching a lot of the guys that are still racing, Jason Bright, who is now my teammate and, obviously, Craig Lowndes,” the Brad Jones Racing team member said. “Being able to race at the pinnacle of Australian motorsport in V8 supercars is a dream, I’m very lucky and fortunate to do that. “This is my second season in V8 supercars and some of the guys I’m racing against have been there for 10 to 12 years. “The depth and quality of the field at the moment is the
highest it’s ever been but I can confidently say it is the most competitive touring car championship in the world.” While racing all over the globe, Reindler said adjusting to tracks such as the windy Clipsal 500 circuit is a challenge associated with the sport. “I’ve been to so many different circuits and you get to the point where there might be a particular corner on one track that might be very similar to the corner of the new track you are at and you just build up this wealth of knowledge and experience and it just becomes easier and easier to learn new circuits
and adapt,” he said. “We all love a challenge and a lot of circuits we go to can be lacking that technical aspect, they can be a little bit dull and uninteresting but any street circuit we go to has so much character and life and it’s unforgiving. “If you make a mistake there (in Adelaide) and you hit something, you are in trouble, whereas most places you go to, you’ve got that margin for error.” ■ THE CLIPSAL 500 ADELAIDE COMMENCES TODAY, AND FINISHES ON SUNDAY.
WAIKERIE man Craig Maskell loves his Fords but will be torn at this week’s Clipsal 500 Adelaide when Craig Lowndes is in the driver’s seat of a Holden. Craig, who was the winner of the Riverland Weekly’s Clipsal 500 four day double pass, has a passion for speed, like many of the drivers who will take part in Adelaide’s big racing event. For 15 years, Craig raced his EH super sedan at local speedways as well as Murray Bridge and Adelaide and is excited to be at the Clipsal 500 for the first time. “It’s just the excitement of it, the speed, the noise,” he said. “It’s just an adrenalin rush, the flag drops and away they go. “In previous years we’ve had a business here and couldn’t get away at this time of year. “This year we were out of the business, so it was good timing to win the tickets.” While Craig will enjoy watching Lowndes at the big event, he has hopes the champion will one day return to Ford. “He might come back one day,” Craig laughed. “I want to see the Fords win. “I’ve always had Fords, my father had Fords and I’m a Ford man.” In fact, Craig has an impressive collection of classic Fords including a 1948 Ford Prefect, 1949 Ford Pilot, 1955 Ford Customline, 1963 MK 3 Zephyr and a 1974 ZG Fairlane.

Tavern Talk
Lake Eyre flooding prompts sailing debate sure the area is kept pristine.� These talks are already scheduled. Mr Stuart went on to explain that the Aboriginal people have a lot in common with the 4WDing community. “Do you know that the mining companies have sought permission to drill in the middle of Lake Eyre and Lake Gairdner?� I did not and found this very alarming. “This is one of the main reasons other Aboriginal groups have gone to the Land Title Tribunal,� he added. Just last week there was an ABC TV program detailing what is happening up in Queensland with the mining of gas right across the country, resulting in a dramatic lowering of the Artesian Basin, along with a number of leaking wells that are unable to be capped. Mr Stuart may well be right about having a lot in common with the 4WD community. The Lake Eyre Yacht Club has a detailed statement on its website at http://www. lakeeyreyc.com, much of which contradicts what Mr Stuart has said. I have attempted, at extremely short notice, to contact Bob Backway, the commodore of the LEYC for his response. Stay tuned next column when I will be able to publish his point of view and report on the outcome of ongoing meetings.
By DANNY HANRAHAN LAKE Eyre is in flood with a lot more water to come and tourists are flocking to the area to take in this wonderful phenomenon. However, all hell has broken out over a temporary ban placed on boats sailing on the lake by the Arabunna people. Bob Backway, Lake Eyre Yacht Club commodore said a spanner has been thrown into the works by the national park’s refusal to give permission to sail on Lake Eyre until the okay has been obtained from the native title claimants. “From all reports, it appears national parks are enjoying the opportunity to prevent us from recreating in their park and are in no hurry to resolve the issue� Mr Backway said. “This process could take years and means that realistically speaking, the only way to boat on Lake Eyre this year will be by committing an illegal act and, given the anger in our membership, this may happen. � The 4WD forums and social media went wild with stories ranging from a total ban on access to Lake Eyre, to a future ban on speedboats on the Murray River. In actual fact, this could not be further from the truth. I was lucky enough to have a chat with Aaron Stuart, the Arabunna people’s native title chairman. “The Arabunna people are
■RARE: Lake Eyre is in flood and tourists are flocking to the region to see the rare occurrence. not against anyone visiting Lake Eyre,� he said. “In fact, we want people to visit our country, enjoy its beauty and we would enjoy sharing our stories with visitors. “We don’t want to charge for access; we only want to keep it in its pristine state.
The Arabunna people want Lake Eyre and its surrounds kept in their natural state. In addition, they are very concerned about yachts on the lake as this is in contradiction to their dreaming. “We don’t want buildings; we want to keep the area natural,� Mr Stuart said.
We want people to visit our country, enjoy its beauty and we would enjoy sharing our stories. “We don’t want Lake Eyre to become another Uluru, we think this is far too commercialised.� This seems to be the major issue facing the Arabunna people, the Lake Eyre Yacht Club and the national parks.
“We have plans for a 4WD track around most of the lake that will actually open up a lot of the country around it. “We just want to pause for a moment and have some talks with the government, national parks and the LEYC to make

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON
The T Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...
New track to boost off-road racing in SA ■ “THIS will take the sport in a completely new direction,” said Waikerie-Riverland Off-Road Racing Club promotions team member Dave Schultz. He was referring to a new 1.8 km paper clip shaped track that one of off-road racing’s most successful and prominent personalities Brad Gallard is constructing on his property at Renmark. It is built on the lines of many of the USA’s popular short course off-road tracks and is modelled on the track at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. A few week’s ago, on 5RM’s Sports Saturday program, Schultz confused announcers and listeners as one when he hinted that something huge was about to happen locally for offroad racing and that it would be “the Twenty20 version of the sport”. That now turns out to be an apt description of this exciting new complex, as this style of off-road racing makes a massive contribution to financing the sport overall in the USA and also towards the cost of running other forms such as enduro style racing, which is popular in Australia - just like Twenty20 is doing for cricket. Gallard’s copy of the
American short course track replaces a practice circuit on his property and contains four large jumps, some smaller ones and it is heavily banked. “It brings off-road action right under the noses of the crowd,” Dave Schultz said. “It is a motocross for cars. “One of the most popular parts of our Waikerie Enduro is the top 10 shoot out, so to bring a whole day of this type of action to Renmark and the Riverland will be of great attraction to motor sport lovers.” It is mind blowing to imagine vehicles like Gallard’s own record breaking ‘Beast’, a Geiser Bros USA Trophy Truck, being let loose on such a small circuit, not alone, but with some of the nation’s best trucks and buggies for company. Cars will launch into the air, side by side, and jump 45 metres, with the spectator area to provide a view of the complete track. Petrolheads rejoice! Make no mistake, this venture, an Australian first, is huge in the scheme of not only off-road racing locally and beyond but also as far as bringing a lot of people, from drivers and their crews to spectators, to the Riverland.
Juniors lead the way for cricket volunteers ■ ON ENTERING the Berri Oval recently to watch a couple of hours of a Milo junior cricket match, I was amazed at the number of people there. Not only two teams of local youngsters playing a game but parents, families and volunteers in numbers. There was no shortage of people making it happen, organisers, umpires and an enthusiastic and supportive crowd. Our official Riverland junior competitions are, of course, conducted on Saturday mornings and it is no secret that in some quarters there is a struggle going on for player, official and volunteer numbers. Let me hasten to add that there is also some excellent work being done for junior cricket both in our associations and at zone level but it is being handled by a dedicated few. Cricket, despite its high profile is competing with a number of more ‘instant’ sports,
including tennis and baseball on Saturday mornings, so is it time to consider an alternative time slot? Sunday mornings and, perhaps, even a few games on weeknights? This suggestion will upset a few, I am certain, as a ‘thou shalt not play on Sunday’ culture that has dictated our senior competitions in recent years seems to have filtered down to junior cricket. But surely a change is worth consideration? I feel clubs would be amazed to have the extra support like Milo Cricket are experiencing on Sundays. Also, youngsters who prefer to try various sports these days would have another option. Today’s hectic lifestyle commits most families to Saturday morning chores. Sunday mornings, what could be better than a day at the junior cricket? Sure beats the heck out of mowing the lawn.

Already enthusiasts from all over Australia are showing an interest in the track. Speaking to Brad Gallard, he confirmed that other motorsport disciplines are also making enquiries about the complex. You also get the opinion that this enterprising man, who just seems to go
from challenge to challenge, is extremely satisfied with his latest venture as it nears completion. Being as professional as he is, Brad likes professional people around him and he is glowing in his praise for the assistance he has received, from Exact Mining and Hille Earthmoving, in having his
vision realised. Brad, not surprisingly, hasn’t been able to resist a “bit of a run” on the circuit and is confident that after a few off track issues are finalised, the complex will be up and running for all to enjoy. Already the Waikerie Riverland Off-Road Club is the highly rated promoter

Talented horseman to show off his skills ■ OUTSTANDING young local horseman Jason Gwiazda recently became a Silversands Instructor and is starting up his own horsemanship instructing business, so it is opportune that he will be putting his talents on display at this Sunday’s Rally Day at the Loxton Horse Riding Club. The club is situated at Pyap, on the Moorook Road, eight kilometres from Loxton, and a 45 minute display from Jason will open the event at 9am, after which LHRC members will have the opportunity to receive lessons from him at a reduced introductory price. Jason, with his amazing talents, will work with his two horses and employ his natural horsemanship methods, where he is at the stage of being ‘at liberty’ with them. Also on the day’s program, club members will be involved in all the normal rally day activities, including lessons and rides around the property. A canteen provides coffee and hot food. Admission is free. For enquiries, contact club president Leah Neumann on 8584 1501.

The age Trevor Scott was when he became a volunteer at various radio stations in Adelaide.

Trevor Scott: a motorsport servant ■ DID YOU hear the one about the time that prominent AFL personality Sam Newman enquired at the announcers’ booth at a round of V8 Super Cars and asked whether he could say hello to legendary race caller Darrell Eastlake? The incident took place at Hidden Valley in the Top End and was a case of mistaken identity, as the broadcaster that day was the man we hear on 5RM’s breakfast program and who is my co-host on Sports Saturday, Trevor Scott. Trevor and Newman did meet up after the racing and he admits that he did not become an instant fan of his colourful companion.

Commentary “My first real go at motorsport announcing was at Northline Speedway in Darwin, when I got a bit cheeky and filled out their feedback page in the program saying that I thought I could do better than their callers of that day,” Trevor said. “They contacted me and gave me a go and after that I never looked back.” Trevor grew up around Cheltenham, in Adelaide, and during his early years dabbled in baseball, Aussie rules, squash, rugby and a fair bit of hockey. However, he was always exposed to motor sport. He completed a panelbeater’s apprenticeship, his Dad and his mechanics raced karts and speedway, with iconic Rowley Park a constant focus. Trevor himself has raced karts at speedway and with a mate in road car sprints. Another historical track, Mal-
Summer sports awards time ■ THIS is the time of year where premierships are the prime focus for team games but it is also the occasion for individuals to celebrate personal achievements. Amongst awards already announced, Waikerie Gold’s Andrew Bevan again cleaned up in Mid Murray cricket, being named the Senior Cricketer of the Year and also taking home the batting aggregate and average trophies. David Waechter, from the premiership team BSR, also grabbed the double in the bowling awards, while Mathew Wenske (Cadell) took out the wicketkeeping and Jono Walding (Waikerie Gold) the fielding. Cadell’s Blake Watkins was named Junior Cricketer of the Year. With the basketball season behind us, young Loxton player Brad Mules and Renmark star Tess Dempsey have been announced as the division one Most Valuable Players for 2010-11. The men’s All Star team comprises Mules and his teammate Andrew Tullett, along with Renmark trio Craig Seekamp, Josh Warnock and Craig Baxter. The women’s team has Dempsey and Jesse Lee Jones, from Renmark, Loxton’s Jackie Dahlitz and Amber George and, from Berri, Michelle Wenman and Tori Jachmann. Umpires’ voting decides the teams.
ris, Kevin Bartlett and Gary Rogers in Darwin, to covering HQ racing at Hidden Valley and speedway with Gary Rush and George Tatnell in karts and speedcars. And there have been some ‘scary’ moments behind the mic as well but none more so than when V8 ace Brock flipped his transport when he came together with Tatnell during a kart race. Legend Brock was lucky to get out of the accident without serious injury and was quick to say, “I will never get into one of those things again”.

Motorsport can also have its very emotional times too. Like at the 1999 Australian Speedcar championships in Darwin when legendary Katherine driver Bob Holt came out of retirement ‘because the event was in his home territory’ and won the race. “I was honoured to call that event,” Trevor said. Today, Trevor calls at the Sunline, Waikerie, and Murray Bridge tracks. He has also worked at Riverland and Mildura, as well as occasionally being flown north to Gove for special meetings there. There are not many people who had two burning ambitions as a youngster that have been able to achieve and enjoy them but Trevor Scott has, successfully. “I want to continue working in radio and calling motorsport for as long as they will have me,” he said. I reckon that could be a long, long time.
Laidlaw takes state production title ■ STEPHEN Laidlaw won the SA Production Sedan title at Riverland Speedway on Saturday night with Michael Pickles and Peter Robl in the minor placings. Crowds were down slightly, as scheduling problems saw the local meeting clash with national titles
at Murray Bridge and Mildura, but nevertheless the crowd did witness some exciting action, including the inaugural chain race that was won by the Barry Sullivan-James Brennan combination from club chief Greg Haynes and his daughter Bianca, with Neville Gibbs-Stan
Philpott third. Sheridan Holland provided the most outstanding roll over. Ben Hall took out the speedcars, ahead of Mark Harrington and Nathan Squires and dirt circuit cars went to Darryl Launder from Barry Schmidt and Jason Gandell.
Motorsport fans now look forward to a double header over Easter, with Riverland Speedway hosting its open wheeler extravaganza, fireworks and boat race on Saturday, April 23, and Waikerie‘s Sunline the next day.
Triathlon to be held at Barmera, Lake Bonney ■ THE annual Loxton event having to be cancelled because of the high river was disappointing but it seems we may have a triathlon in 2011 after all, with the Adelaide Vales Club proposing to host an event on Sunday, April 10. Adelaide Vales is committed to triathlons in SA, including regional areas and is anxious to fill the gap until Loxton’s popular event is restored in 2012. The proposal for next month’s event at Lake Bonney incorporates Olympic, sprint and tinman distances and follows a visit by the club to Barmera last November. Further details will be released shortly after arrangements are completed with the organisations involved.

Independent Football Clubs 2011 Season preview
Season preview TRADITIONALLY a strong performer in the Mid Murray competition from which it joined the Independents, BlanchetownSwan Reach was expected to achieve almost immediate success in 2010, its first Riverland season. That was not to be the case, the club finished sixth, five games outside of the top four. The Redbacks, by their own admission, were not quite ready for the new competition and struggled to find their feet for most of the season, collecting only five wins.
One bright spot for BSR was finishing ahead of Mid Murray rivals Ramco on the premiership table, by percentage. Coach Peter Zadow said the club is looking to make more of a splash on the competition in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now had a look and know what we need to do,â&#x20AC;? Zadow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a couple of new players and our younger players have got a few more games under their belt and are more experienced.â&#x20AC;?

X-Factors THE biggest X-factor that BSR has in its favour is that in 2011 it will be much more aware of what is required to perform in the Independent football competition. Last year was a test, as the new boys worked out the quirks of the league. This time around Zadow said the club means business. In its Mid Murray days, BSR was known for its ruthlessness in pursuing victory, so expect to

see more of that in 2011. Player wise, the club is seeking to recruit a full forward and an additional midfield player to add some beef to the engine room. New school teacher Alby Nicholls comes to the club from Kangaroo Island and Zadow hopes he can be among the final pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. The club will also welcome the return of Ryan Schiller, back from a knee injury.

COBDOGLA has been seasoned finals campaigners over the years but with several retirements, 2011 will see a much different Eagles team. Leading goalkicker and former coach Darrell Tilbrook has hung up the boots and has left a hole up forward. New coach Brad Gillespie has been around the Independent football scene for many years and knows his team is in rebuilding mode in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are just aiming to improve
X-Factors THERE are still a handful of experienced players taking to the field this season for Cobdogla and they will have to work with youth coming through from the junior ranks. Lindon Fridd was a strong leader last season and will need to play a similar role again. The on-ball brigade of Sterling Crowe, Zac Walker and Damien Crowe found plenty of the football last season and if the trio can combine again for the Eagles, they will be hard to

stop. The forward line looks relatively bare but an injection of young talent including Joel Trace, Rohan Axon, Tyson Maynard, Jordan Roissetter and Chad Dunling will add enthusiasm and speed. Veteran defender Rob Smyth will not be playing at Cobby this season and will be another big loss. The club has had decent numbers on the training track to date but the harvest has hampered season preparations.

says the Bulldogs hope to make the finals and see what damage they can inflict from there. It was BSRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midfield that really let it down last season. Fix that problem and BSR will go a long way to meeting its aim of making the finals.

AFTER winning the minor premiership in the Independent competition last season, East Murray failed to end its six year premiership drought. With a new and highly experienced coach, Steve â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Goofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Smith, at the helm, the Tigers are capable of going all the way. The club welcomes some new faces including Karoonda midfielder Roly Zadow, Loxton defender Kale Smith and midfielder Zac Kirk.
Recent History â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Goofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; said the aim for the season is to play in the grand final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make the four again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our aim is not to go any worse than last year.â&#x20AC;? While last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand final defeat still hurts, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Goofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knows his team can bounce back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that should spur the boys on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you lose a grand final, you always want to get back and have another shot.â&#x20AC;?
X-Factors THE former Loxton contingent will again be a strong point for the Tigers, especially with ruckman Ryan Smith injury free. Sam Hoffmann and Josh Norman (pictured) will be looking to contribute again up forward and on-baller Michael Kirk is a key cog in the wheel. East Murray also has vital experience with the likes of Brian Parsons, Aaron Pligl, Dan Fuss, David Andriske and Ashley Hissey. Young Zak Schubert proved
to be a revelation last season, playing tall and kicking bags of goals when needed. The strong rotating midfield appears to be the major x-factor for the Tigers and a lack of forward options is made up by changing on-ballers. The recruitment of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Goofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as coach is also a boost for the club, as he has the knowledge of the competition to gain a competitive edge.

How far can East Murray go? THE Tigers are a well drilled outfit and will be one of the early premiership favourites. The problem sitting on the shoulders of players at East Murray is expectation. It has been a while between drinks for the flag and there is a lot of
hope and anticipation at the club that this will be the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; era. Almost every aspect of East Murray, the forward line, midfield and defence, looks sound. Do not be surprised if the Howard Duthie Medal is won by an East Murray player this season.

Season preview THE 2010 RFL season was one of highdrama for Loxton. The club started in spectacular fashion with a 71 point win over rivals Loxton North, had a mid-season dip in form and then, won eight games straight before succumbing to Barmera-Monash by 15 points. The match followed a superlative effort to reach the preliminary final, after over coming a 29 point half time deficit in the first semi-final against Waikerie. Loxton last tasted premiership success in 2006 and coach Mark Wright is hopeful

his side will play finals this season. “It’ll take the first five games to work out where we and our opponents are at,” Wright said. “The competition will be a lot more even this year as well.” Wright believes recruiting has boosted forward options this season. “We are hoping to have a couple more options across half forward,” he said. “Our strength is the core structure. “There are a lot of guys who have been playing A grade footy for (many) years.”

X-Factors THERE is no lack of talent at Loxton and Jamahl Liddle returning to the line-up will be a welcome addition. Players like star onballer Rhys Mitchell, new signing Tim Inkster and big man Ash Montgomery are pivotal reasons why the Tigers will be flag contenders this season. It is understood Pete Smith will play depending on availability. Expect another stellar season from flexible utility Raphael Liddle, combining well with
Odds Premiership: $6 Wooden spoon: $12
Pat Portolesi (pictured). The Tigers’ real drive comes from the half back line and this will again be the case this year. Bronte Manuel, cousin Brett and classy ball winner Nick Uren will get plenty of the football. Ruckman Craig Fisher is ever improving and we expect him to have a big season. The big loss is captain Leigh Kruger and we are not sure if Loxton can find a player of equal calibre to fill his spot.
Theme Song The Verve Bittersweet Symphony It was a bittersweet season in 2010 but will Loxton be able to put that behind it in 2011?
How far can Loxton go? LOOKING at the make-up of the rest of the teams in the competition, Loxton should again be around the mark this season. While it has lost experience and leadership, the club has depth which has seen it finish runner-up five times, with one premiership, in the past decade. Wright seems to have fit in well as head coach and we expect him to again get the most out of his squad this season.
Last season, the Tigers would have considered themselves unlucky after falling at the final hurdle and looking like the only team that could threaten eventual premiers Berri. There are still many unknowns about this Loxton line-up but come round one, the team will give its all. Whether the Tigers’ all is good enough is a question only time will tell. Loxton know’s a top four finish is a must.

Dinghy event to impress
■ ALL GO: The Riverland will see another dinghy event when the Bonanza hits the Renmark riverfront next Friday. Photo: FILE By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Riverland Dinghy Club is hoping the community will get behind next Friday’s Bonanza circuit race in Renmark, after the dissapointing cancellation of last month’s popular Dash for Cash. The Bonanza, usually scheduled for August or September, is being brought forward this year with hopes it will see strong crowds and competitor numbers. Event organiser Haydn Brown said he is hoping for good weather. Tickets from the cancelled Dash for Cash will remain valid for the Bonanza, with a spot on the Renmark Club balcony available to ticketholders.
“We’re certainly hoping (the weather will be good), we can’t control it,” Mr Brown said. “We just have to hope for the best in everything.” It was a big build up to February’s cancelled Dash for Cash event and Mr Brown is hoing the Bonanza will see success as a twilight event. The Bonanza will see seven different classes vying for victory and Mr Brown believes there are a number of potential winners. “There’s plenty in the 15 horsepower class; Rhett Dempsey would be one of them,” he said. “Matty Schwartzkopff in the 25hp would have to be up
there and in the 30hp super standard, it’s wide open, too close to call. “Riley Pfitzner would be the favourite for the sports class.” Organisers of the Bonanza are looking to build on last year’s event, which was held during the day. “It was very successful last year,” Mr Brown said. The decision to move this year’s Bonanza to the evening is to create a better atmosphere, according to Mr Brown. Scrutineering will begin at the Renmark Club wharf from 5.30pm, with entry for the event closing this Monday. Entry forms are available on www.dinghyderby.com.au

Sports thoughts...
ROB McLEAN
Are those who grew up playing street cricket a dying breed? MY trip home from work between Berri and Loxton was punctuated by a strange sight recently, two young lads playing cricket. In this age of gaming machines, pay television and the internet, there is less reason than ever before to go outside into the Australian heat and play out a Test match as generations of lads have done before. I was beginning to think I was the last of a dying breed, a boy who from as young as I could remember and then deep into my teenage years was always playing cricket, whether it be with my mates, or in solitary confinement against a wall. Given the majority of our best players had their starts in the backyard, it was heartening to see these two lads hitting a tennis ball out into the traffic, even if it was onto the busy Bookpurnong Road. As a kid, my home at Munno Para, in Adelaide’s northern suburbs, had a variety of ‘pitches’. There was the back lawn, under the carport, down the side of the house, front yard and against the laundry wall.
Conditions were certainly not consistent across each of those pitches which were named after an Australian Test venue (this was in the time before Darwin and Cairns were granted Test status) with the Adelaide Oval being the back lawn, while the MCG was the driveway from which we hit out to Alawoona Road. The passing 440 bus always made for a good target I just as it slalomed around the bend past my house. My first bat was a 60 centimetre iron bar, with which I would hit a golf ball against the wall and which resulted in my mum telling me of the Bradman legend for the first time. I eventually graduated to a cheap, painted white County as my first real bat, while I later had a Peter Sleep Double Scoop that I took great pride in. The question must be asked, what essentially special batting attributes did leg spinner Peter Sleep, of all people, have for a
piece of willow to be named after him? Another one of cricket’s mysteries. I would hit golf or tennis balls against that wall by myself for hours, setting fields and playing mini Tests, often running to five matches. Of course, I was always Australia and my matches were deemed
A friend, Ben Halliday, often recalls me stopping games to record the scores. I wasn’t alone in my devotion to cricket either, many of my mates were too. We would also all congregate in the park across the road from David and Robbie Coutts’ house, playing proper matches. It was especially good when the council had just can’t imagine growing up today, when mowed the lawn, street cricket is barely played. as we could use the clipofficial by scorecards that I care- pings to create a boundary (somefully recorded runs onto. thing we also did for soccer).

broke my first bat, my beloved County, and was fairly belligerent about it, telling me “if it can’t handle a compo ball, it can’t be much good anyway”. He was probably right but it was a crushing blow nonetheless. If we weren’t playing in the streets, there were always the nets at Argana Park where the Elizabeth football and cricket clubs were based. There were plenty of games played there, with the likes of Peter Thomas, Craig Haines, Nathan and Darren Hyatt and others always ready for a hit. I just can’t imagine growing up today, when street cricket is barely played, or nets are largely unoccupied. No wonder, with this lengthy World Cup sending us into a torpor, I was so happy to see two kids indulging in the school of hard knocks that is street cricket. That’s where cricket dreams should start, the champions of tomorrow are born in the crucible of cricket in the streets and backyards and not on the end of the latest PlayStation game.

SOUTHERN MALLEE DISTRICT COUNCIL STORMWATER IMPACTS TO COUNCIL’S COMMUNITY WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT SCHEMES (CWMS) Pinnaroo and Lameroo residents are advised that at the Council Meeting held on the 9th February, 2011, Council endorsed a recommendation as submitted by the Waste and Stormwater Committee to approve a Property Owner/ Occupier Awareness Program to detect and decommission unauthorised stormwater connections to the Community Wastewater Management System (CWMS) and approval for the engagement of Rashlee Pty Ltd in the operational role of the program. This program applies to all property owners who are connected to Council’s CWMS. Accordingly you are urged to inspect your stormwater infrastructure and be satisfied that discharges go to rainwater tanks, the street or to open ground within the property boundary. If you know of a stormwater connection to the septic tank or the pipeline from the discharge side of the septic tank on your property, then it will need to be terminated. So that sufficient time can be provided to make changes to any existing connection of stormwater into the septic tank or CWMS pipe main, a grace period until 11 April 2011 has been agreed by Council. If you are unsure of how the stormwater discharges have been plumbed on your property a plumber may be able to assist. From the 11th April, 2011 Council will conduct an inspection of all properties in Lameroo and Pinnaroo to ensure no unauthorised stormwater discharge to Council’s CWMS. A detailed article on this matter was included in Council’s recent March 2011 Newsletter, however if you did not receive the newsletter, please contact either the Pinnaroo or Lameroo Offices of Council and a copy can be forwarded to you. If anyone has any concerns regarding the program to be undertaken by Council to improve the operating efficiency of Council’s CWMS, please contact your Elected Member or alternatively raise your concerns with Rod Ralph, Council’s Chief Executive Officer.

WARRIORS SEEK FIFTH TITLE By CALLUM TRIFONOFF BERRI will be aiming for a fifth straight Riverland Baseball League premiership, when it goes head to head with traditional rival Barmera in tomorrow nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand final at Glassey Park. A 12-1 second semi-final win for the Berri Warriors will see it favourites to make it five titles in a row, despite the Lakers finishing on top of the ladder at the end of the minor round. Barmeraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrow 10-9 win over Renmark in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary may give the side a boost as it aims to release the tag of being Riverland baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly men. â&#x2013; Continued Page 35
