Olivewood’s wait to finish visitor centre By BRAD PERRY OLIVEWOOD Estate is frustratingly being forced to wait for the sale of vacant land on its property before it can complete its much anticipated visitor centre. Currently the shell of the centre, concrete floor, electrics, pipeworks, stormwater drains, windows, doors, insulation, power and water to the building have been constructed and installed with a Federal Government grant of more than $300,000. The Riverland icon will now have to wait for the sale of six hectares of its Renmark land, which was formerly a citrus crop, or an available grant, to complete the dream visi-

tor centre, which is expected to attract many tourists. Project manager Max Burr said he knew the funding would only stretch so far but is hopeful the land will sell in the near future and provide financial support to finish the project within 12 months. “What’s to be done is the kitchen area, the toilets, the offices and the archival room and we’d like to see that all is done in one hit,” he said. “That all depends on the sale of the land and if there is another grant forthcoming. “We just have to sit there and wait for that to happen.” ■ Continued Page 4

State Government catches unlicenced Riverland tradesmen By BRAD PERRY THE State Government has caught a number of Riverland businesses in a targeted compliance campaign to crackdown on unlicenced tradesmen. While unable to provide Riverland specific figures, Consumer Business Services (CBS) has investigated 294 unlicenced business related matters across South Australia in 2010/11, with more enforcement actions taken than in 2009/10. The reports of non-compliant businesses have resulted in

one prosecution, seven expiation notices and 286 written warnings being issued by the government body. A CBS spokesperson said all businesses must comply with the law. “It is always of concern to CBS when any business or trade is operating outside the law,” they said. “That is why CBS, through its complaints handling processes, enforcement actions and compliance campaigns, seeks to ensure compliance with these laws. ■ Continued Page 5

Is your tradie properly licenced?

Quality Country Killed Meats & Small Goods

Your local paddock to plate butcher

THERE is an old saying “you get what you pay for” and there is another one that says “buyer beware”. That could well be the case with your local, friendly tradesman. No matter how friendly he is and how good he appears at his job, he still needs to be qualified to do it. While no figures have been provided, anecdotal evidence suggests a number of locals working in some trades have recently been caught working illegally, without a proper licence. This is where, for you as a consumer, those two old sayings come into play. If you pay an unlicenced tradesman to do some work on your home, you can invalidate your insurance, or any legal recourse if something goes wrong during or after the completion of the work. That’s a risk you may be happy to take but it’s a mighty big one for you and your family. There are, of course, many, many talented and hardworking tradies across the region and, more importantly, they are properly licenced to do the job at hand. When seeking a quote on work to be done on your home, it is best to do your research and check if your preferred tradesman is licenced. Otherwise, buyer beware.

SOUL SURFER

IN AN ARTICLE published in last week’s Riverland Weekly, there were some factual errors to a story regarding Lameroo resident Lesley Pearce. The article incorrectly implied Lesley had moved to Lameroo from England 27 years ago, when, in fact, she has been living in Lameroo for 27 years and emigrated well over 40 years ago. Lesley and her husband Richard did own a farm south of Parilla but have always been part of the Lameroo community. We apologise for any confusion.

Waikerie combined sports project funding snub By BRAD PERRY WAIKERIE Combined Sports Board representatives met with the Loxton Waikerie Council late yesterday to discuss its shock exclusion from funding in the annual budget. After previous discussions between the two parties had been held over the need to fast track stage two of the combined sporting precinct project, there has been anger from local clubs after being snubbed in council’s budget. Waikerie Community Sports Centre manager Richard Law said delaying stage two will have an impact on the Waikerie community. “We were asked not to apply for government funding last year by council officers so that Loxton North could go ahead and get their submission (for new netball

■ Richard Law. courts) but on the proviso that council puts some federal money they had towards our stage one,” he said. “In our negotiations with council at that time, we were going to be linking the stage two development very close to that of stage one and making a major push for funding from the

government from this round of funding coming up in August. “We had noted that in council’s budget, which was out for comment, that there was no allocation there for our stage two.” Stage one of the project involves developing new tennis and netball courts close to the recreation centre, while stage two is to realign the current basketball and netball courts to run north/ south and increase the number of courts from two to four. In a letter to council, Waikerie Tennis Club president Sonya Tscharke said the omission for funding in the budget is disappointing. “We understand that we as a club are also required to apply for grants to assist in the funding of these projects and given that we agreed to council’s request last year for the Waikerie Tennis Club not to apply for a grant in

2010/11, so Loxton (North’s) chances were not jeopardised, we are disappointed that there is nothing in the business plan for 2011/12, as this will put us another year behind,” she wrote. Mrs Tscharke said the club originally did not want to move its courts but had no choice. “The tennis club did not want to move from their current location but neither council nor the Combined Sports Board supported the club fixing and resurfacing the current courts,” she said. “Without council or the board’s support, the club was unable to apply for any grants and so was left in no position but to agree to the move.” The tennis club will be split until both stages of the project are completed, which is another reason stage two must progress quickly, according to Mrs Tscharke.

Busy program for World Youth Day means... Rann to visit region?

Kirby has a lot to pack in By CALLUM TRIFONOFF ABOUT to embark on a trip she will remember forever, Barmera teenager Kirby Kingham hopes the journey to the World Youth Day celebrations in Madrid will be a great life experience. Travelling to the Middle East and Spain with 13 other South Australians (including five locals) as part of the Port Pirie Diocese, Kirby believes the trip will be an enjoyable test for her. “I think it will be a good opportunity for me to grow personally and find out a bit about myself and what I’m capable of without having the support of the family next to me,” she said. “This is my first time (going overseas and I’m) by myself...I’m really excited.” Having been to the World Youth Day celebrations in 2008 in Sydney, Kirby said that was the start of her opportunity to go to Madrid. “My mum and a few others formed a committee for whoever wanted to

go to Madrid this year,” she said. “So I’ve been helping out with that, with fundraisers, raffles and the Day at the Colosseum footy match. “When I was given the opportunity to go over to Madrid, I thought it was fantastic and then to find out I’d be doing the Middle East beforehand was another good reason to go.” St Vincent de Paul

Society volunteer development facilitator Mick Beech, who will also be attending as part of the Port Pirie Diocese, said the opportunity for Riverlanders to go will be worthwhile. “It will be a lifetime experience for them to go over to the Holy Land and spend nine or 10 days in Jerusalem, Jordan, Bethlehem and Nazareth,” Mr Beech said. “Then, to spend six

or seven days in Madrid, where there will be around two million people gathering will be a fairly awesome experience. “There will be a sleep -out under the stars and on Sunday morning, Pope Benedict XVI will come and conduct mass.” Other Riverlanders attending will be Barmera’s Briony Fitzgerald and Nicholas Beech, Berri’s Bonnie Noonan and Waikerie’s Gerard Dutton.

Signage issues on riverfront By BRAD PERRY TRESPASSERS prosecuted signs erected on some local properties during the recent high river may actually be masking illegal operations according to government sources. Local tourism operators have been warned to watch for illegal activities on the riverfront, with several private property signs currently being displayed on public land. It is understood Riverland police have approached at least one tourist operation asking it to report any signs of illegal activities on the riverfront. In the past, offenders growing marijuana have been known to sign post crop areas as private in an attempt to keep people away. In the Berri area alone there are at least five pri-

■ SIGN: Private property signs, such as this one on the Berri riverfront, have raised questions about the legality of the signs. vate property signs warning about trespassing on areas actually believed to be public property.

A Riverland tourist operator, who did not wish to be named, said the signs could have gone up prior to high river so vehicles would not enter. He said local law enforcement officers had approached him and asked him to keep a close eye out for suspicious actions where the private property signs are erected. “The question has got to be asked why these signs are up because it is not private property, it is all wetlands,” he said. “It certainly is concerning.” The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said the illegal signage is not uncommon. “The issue of signposting public land with a private property sign has occurred before,” a spokesperson said.

“When DENR staff are made aware of this, and it is confirmed that it is public land, the offending person is told to remove the illegal sign forthwith.” The DENR spokesperson said it is sometimes hard to determine what is public and what is private land. “The vast majority of the river’s edge is public property,” the spokesperson said. “There are, however, some perpetual leases with exclusive river’s edge rights and some freehold titles that go to the river’s edge, throughout the Riverland. “With the recent high river, much of the crown link reserve (river’s edge) was underwater and any private property signs at the high water mark may very well be just that - private property.”

By BRAD PERRY HE HAS only been to the Riverland three times in the past two and a half years but a local group is hoping South Australian Premier Mike Rann will visit to officially open Loxton’s Centenary Feature later this year. The Loxton Centenary Feature Committee believes its request for the Premier to open the display, via the Loxton Waikerie Council, is likely to succeed. “We just feel that it’s unique to Loxton and it’s going to attract tourists and things like that and we just feel the best person to open it would be the Premier,” LCFC chair Bert Haslam said. While Mr Haslam said he is aware of Mr Rann’s track record of visiting the Riverland, he said opening the Loxton Centenary Feature is of significant importance to the region. The committee is also hopeful the State Government will be able to announce a handover of the centenary feature site at Mill Corner to the community. Plans are already in place to landscape extensively around the feature with the construction of an interpretative centre, playground, toilets and much more.

■ SA Premier Mike Rann. “We would like him (Premier Rann) to be able to say when he opens it, ‘right, the rest of the land is given to the Loxton Waikerie Council for community use’,” Mr Haslam said. “At this particular stage we seem to be getting nowhere with (Transport) Minister (Pat) Conlon in getting the land handed across for community use. “We’ve met up there with the Loxton Recreation Grounds Trust members, as well as council members, to have a look at what we can do for the landscaping of that particular section.”

Mice contaminate rainwater the filtered water due to contamination in stored water. “There’s been a bit of a boost with dirty ‘yabby’ water and the mouse plague affecting tank water,” he said.

By BRAD PERRY A CONTAMINATED rainwater tank in a local home has caused members of one Riverland family to fall ill. Despite the recent mouse plague subsiding, there are still an increasing number of pests being discovered in rainwater tanks, contaminating the water. Moorook man Daryl Hill recently discovered three dead mice floating in his rainwater tank and said many people would not be aware of the dangers. “The mice were in the roof and they came through the downpipe into the rainwater tank,” he said. “From what I’ve heard, there has been an increase in people getting sick from it.” Mr Hill, who operates a springwater company, said he has had several customers turning to

The mice were in the roof and they came through the downpipe.

SA Health principal water quality adviser David Cunliffe said the state body does receive reports of pests affecting rainwater but minimal reports of illness. “SA Health occasionally receives reports about the discovery of animals in

rainwater tanks ranging from mice and birds to possums,” he said. “These are usually detected because of impacts on taste or during inspection and cleaning of tanks, however there have been few reports of illness.” Mr Cunliffe reminded residents rainwater tanks should be inspected regularly. “People should protect their rainwater tanks from mosquitoes and other animals by installing mesh barriers on inlets to tanks and any other openings, such as overflows,” he said. “It is also important that people ensure their tank, including roof catchments, is well maintained to help minimise any potential contamination. “If additional treatment is required, people can also consider installing UV light disinfection.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Budget passed THE Southern Mallee Council’s annual draft budget public meeting was held on Wednesday night, the 20th, with 16 concerned ratepayers attending. I believe the ratepayers must have left the meeting wondering if the people in the top administration positions of council realise the depth of concern ratepayers have with the financial situation council now finds itself in under the leadership of Rodney Ralph. They struggled to answer, ad-

equately, some of the many questions put to them by the ratepayers. After the public meeting, the council held its budget meeting and within approximately 20 minutes the budget had been passed with no discussion on the suggestions made by the ratepayers. One change made was one new car will be purchased for the CEO, instead of two, this financial year. In true government fashion, the council made its decisions, gave the public a chance to put their points of view forward, then ignoring all the public suggestions, passed the budget with the decisions it had

Continued development delays at Renmark’s Olivewood Estate ■ From Page 1 Going into a loan situation to complete the new facility is also not an option, according to Mr Burr. The Olivewood Estate committee is still waiting for a certificate of occupancy from local government before it can use the new building for walkthrough displays.

“Once we’ve got that, we can use the building as a walk through to the homestead and the packing shed and inside we’ll just put up some basic displays of early photographs and different bits of memorabilia and a few signs to say where to go,” he said. Mr Burr said there has been “a little bit of interest” for the Olivewood Estate land

with a potential buyer, which is not a retailer, from outside the region. Olivewood Estate received $326,000 of Federal Government heritage project funding in 2009 to construct the facility and it had been hoped the building would be completed and open to the public by now after work started in May last year.

Have your say about the issues that affect you. previously made. It proved to be a waste of ratepayers’ time in attending the meeting, as none of the suggestions put forward resulted in savings being made in the budget. Ratepayers are now being hit with a nine per cent rate rise, by a council that is out of control with its unnecessary spending. Marilyn Smith, Parrakie.

Story half told IN REGARDS to the Riverland Weekly article on whooping cough (July 7, Cough, Cough, Cough), and the follow up letter (July 14, Disease Spread), as per usual with these stories only half has been told. In the article, of the 94 people diagnosed with pertussis, how many were vaccinated against it? If vaccination levels are up to 95 per cent, one would assume that most people who actually got the disease had already been vaccinated. Which begs the question, do vaccines work? Why are the unvaccinated the scapegoats here?

Why are we assuming that the only available way of managing ours, or our children’s health, is with synthetic chemicals? Is it coincidence that at this time when we have probably the highest vaccination rate of all time, we also have an increasing rate of other, more serious illnesses such as juvenile diabetes, eczema, severe allergies and other auto immune diseases, not to mention cancer - is our interference with the human body by pumping chemicals into it from birth affecting our health in a detrimental way? The research is not thorough. In regards to the person who thought she may have had whooping cough, why was she in contact with “hundreds of children” whilst sick? You don’t go to accident and emergency with a persistent cough, you take sick leave, see your doctor during the week and stay away from others while you are sick. This goes for any infection - it is just common sense. Parents (and other people) who choose not to vaccinate are not selfish, ignorant or uneducated; they are generally well educated people who research this topic thoroughly and make an informed decision,

which is their right as a human being and an Australian and they should be able to do this with impunity. Free country, right? For more information on vaccination there is a website available for this research: visa@adelaide. on.net. VISA stands for Vaccination Information Serving Australia. Name supplied, Waikerie.

Volcanic effects? THERE are differing opinions as to how much man’s burning fossil fuel affects climate change. I note that when previous scientifically recorded climate change was supposed to have occurred, that this was before coal fired electricity production and motor vehicle use. In the last 10 years, how much carbon has been released by volcanic eruptions into the atmosphere and oceans? What effect does below sea level volcanic eruption have on water temperatures and thus the climatic weather events? Tom Loffler, Waikerie.

Spotlight on Yamba tyre future REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY and that it’s in a sound condition and it’s not going to pose a risk to council or a considerable maintenance cost before we even consider taking ownership,” he said. “If the integrity is there and the condition is not going to cause us a major maintenance cost, we see it as a pretty unique structure and it’s probably got some potential there. “Whether we lease it out or (use it as) a gateway tourism statement to the whole Riverland region.”

Mr Siviour will report his findings back to council before a decision on the tyre’s future is made. “They (DTEI) wrote to council in 2007 and said they wanted it removed, so we want to go back and explore that and (find out) what are the reasons why you wanted it removed?” The tyre is a unique structure which has the potential to act as a strategic marketing tool for the Riverland, according to Mr Siviour. “If all those things checked out, I think council’s interested,” he said. “If it came back and said the thing’s going to need an upgrade and it’s going to cost ‘x’ amount (of dollars) in so many years, I

don’t think they will go at it. “Whether it is we do use it as corporate advertising or as a gateway, ‘welcome to the Riverland region’ or ‘welcome to Renmark Paringa’, if we owned it, that’s entirely up to us.” It is also understood the advertising agreement with Dunlop, which is currently advertising on the tyre, has lapsed and the Riverland Tourism Association has previously investigated the viability of signing a billboard manager to maximise its potential.

THE future of the famous Yamba tyre as a Riverland asset may hinge on its current condition.

Council chief executive officer Tony Siviour will liaise with the Department of Transport Energy and Infrastructure, which asked for the Yamba tyre to be removed four years ago, to assess its condition and whether it will be feasible to manage. “We want to know the structural integrity of the tyre is there

SA Ballooning claims lack of support for major event By BRAD PERRY THE South Australia Ballooning and Airship Club has backed a proposal to make the Riverland Balloon Fiesta a bi-annual event due to, what it refers to, as a lack of support. In a letter to the Renmark Paringa Council, SA Ballooning member Kate Knipe claimed d Renmark “seems to be tired off the event”. Mrs Knipe said makingg South Australia’s only official ballooning event bi-annual would ensure people realise what the event brings to the region. However, the Renmark Paringa Council is concerned that by making the occasion biannual it may be lost all together, or taken up by another region. “There are a handful of people who want this event to remain in Renmark, yet these people are not willing to put in physical help and help when needed,” Mrs Knipe wrote.

“They are full of ideas but (are) not prepared to follow these up or make them happen. “The reasons I feel that the Renmark balloon festival needs to go bi-annual is the city of Renmark seems to have lost its support for the whole event.” Gate takings for the night glow were above $1000, a figure

Mrs Knipe said the balloonists are also forced to pay for a majority of costs and there are also accommodation problems. “Other than the accommodation provided, pilots are expected to pay for everything and this year even the accommodation caused headaches when some providers

The city of Renmark seems to have lost its support for the whole event. which Mrs Knipe said was well below what it could have been. “It is very disappointing to see all these people at the glow and then to be told we only raised just over $1000 with the gate takings,” she wrote. “If the gates had been manned from the very start and continued throughout the glow, a lot more funds would have been raised on the night.”

withdrew support at the very last (minute),” she said. “I feel that by giving the town over 12 months off, it gives the accommodation places time to see if the June long weekend books out under normal circumstances without a (sic) actual event happening in the town. “Also (it) gives the organisers more time to arrange this event and perhaps find more support.”

Other ballooning events interstate include financial incentives for balloonists to participate. “Many interstate balloon events offer accommodation, gas, fuel and contribution towards travel; these elements make events attractive to participants,” Mrs Knipe said. “The last few Riverland events have been principally at the attendees’ expense (acknowledge accommodation provided) and these pilots/crew are effectively donating their time and money, contributing to an event which brings many visitors to Renmark.” Mrs Knipe said organiser Apryl Norton “deserves a medal” for her contribution towards helping with this year’s ballooning event. Representatives of council will meet with SA Ballooning to discuss strategies to ensure the Riverland Balloon Fiesta remains part of the region’s events calendar.

Consumer Business Services tightens clamp on unlicenced tradesmen ■ From Page 1 “In 2010/11, CBS investigated approximately 2900 (overall business) matters and visited 2400 traders throughout the state to ensure compliance with the legislation.” Riverland residents must ask to see the licence or registration card of the business before it conducts work on their property. “Using unqualified and unlicenced traders can result in substandard services that may have to be redone,” the spokesperson said. “In rare cases, it can result in unsafe work being performed by electricians, builders and plumbers. “To ensure you are dealing with a qualified trader, ask to see their licence or registration card and check the Public Register on the CBS website for their

licence or registration details at http://www.ocba.sa.gov.au” Failure to register a business can see a maximum penalty of $5000 or an expiation fee of $315, while penalties for working unqualified

Using unqualified and unlicensed traders can result in sub-standard services.

or unlicensed vary, with the maximum penalty for an unlicensed builder at $20,000. The CBS spokesperson said it is important for Riverland businesses to check whether they

meet compliance. “Businesses operating in SA need to be registered under the Business Names Act 1995 to ensure basic information about the proprietors and the business address are available for legal and commercial purposes,” they said. Currently CBS has 67,000 registrations and licensees in trades and occupations. Among the types of businesses investigated by CBS are building work contractors and supervisors, specified trades such as bricklaying, carpentry and joinery, concreting and tiling, electricians, plumbers, gas fitters, security agents, conveyancers, as well as travel agents, real estate practicioners and secondhand motor vehicle dealers. To report an unlicenced business or for more information contact CBS on 13 1882.

Worker accommodation problem will be ongoing By BRAD PERRY WITH a shortage of accommodation for itinerant pickers in the Riverland during the current citrus season, a local business has warned the problem must be fixed before it gets worse. Renmark based AgriExchange estimates it will need to employ another 100 workers over the next five years due to large plantings reaching full maturity and production. The accommodation shortage for incoming pickers is an issue that will not simply go away, according to AgriExchange divisional manager Richie Roberts. “This year’s crop has been a very heavy one, last year’s was very light, so we’d expect next year will be a lighter crop,” he said. “Next year we probably won’t have as many issues but looking ahead over the longer term, it will be an issue again in other seasons. “We do have those seasonal differences between years but overall, the trees are getting older and the yield is getting higher and the issue is not going to go away.” An emergency meeting was called earlier this month with the Renmark Paringa Council, local contractors and accommodation providers to determine how to ensure more accommodation is available for seasonal workers in both the short and long term. Backpacker accommoda-

tion and a majority of caravan park accommodation was booked out for the current citrus season, with more than 1000 workers travelling to the region to work. Mr Roberts said workers who could not find accommodation were forced to move on. “Given we’ve been harvesting pretty big volumes for the past couple of months, pickers have either been able to find accommodation and if they have then they’ve stayed in the area, if they haven’t been able to find accommodation, then they’ve moved on,” he said. “This season has just shown there is the requirement for a lot of people and I think people have a bit more confidence to plan in advance for future seasons.”

Quilters have flood victims covered

■ DEMAND: A lack of accommodation for itinerant workers in the Riverland must be solved as citrus trees reach full maturity in coming years.

AFTER the devastating effects of the Queensland floods earlier in the year, a Riverland craft group decided to try and ease the pain being experienced by residents of Toowomba. The Refresh and Bloom group, based in Berri, recently made close to 40 quilts for the children of Toowoomba.

Organiser Helen Morgan said quite often children in care are forgotten about. “Being a foster parent myself, I understand the importance of looking after children in need,” Mrs Morgan said. “Shortly after the floods, we decided we should do something and we got lots of fabric to start work.

“There were five or six of us who agreed to help and Beryl Campain made most of them, she did a fantastic job.” Mrs Morgan said the quilts are an essential item. “(Toowoomba’s) a good target group,” she said. “The Toowoomba area is known for hot summers but it also has very cold

winters,” she said. The Refresh and Bloom group is keen to turn its attention to local struggles next. “Our next focus, hopefully, will be to start gathering more fabric to help the Riverland Women’s Shelter,” Mrs Morgan said. “Quilts are cheap to make and if it helps the local people, then it’s more than worthwhile.”

Until August, it also generates cash! ■ EXTENSIONS: Loxton Christmas Lights Committee secretary Pat West in the group’s shed, which is being extended. Photo: CALLUM TRIFONOFF

THE Loxton Christmas Lights Committee will have more room to create its festive signs thanks to extensions to its shed. The move was made official recently, with funding coming from the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program. Construction is expected to start in the near future, according to committee secretary Pat West. “We’re extending it by six metres wide by about probably 10.5 metres,” Ms West said. “We actually don’t have enough room to work and it’s become an occupational health and safety hazard.

“We’ve got about eight or nine painters coming in one day a week, some come in twice a week, and there’s just not enough room to work.”

We actually don’t have enough room to work and it’s become an OH&S hazard.

Great news for the volunteers is that work for this year’s Loxton Christmas Lights will not be stopped while construction takes

place. “(The painters) are painting the scenes for Santa’s Walk and we need new scenery,” Ms West said. “It won’t take long to put up when it starts and we can keep working in there (during the constructions).” Ms West said the funding is a welcome relief for the committee. “We nearly had it last year but then they had an election and everything halted but it’s come through now and we’re ready to go,” she said. “It’s just fantastic, we don’t like to stop volunteers coming in and working but we’re getting a bit crowded. “This will gives us a lot more room.”

Lower Yorke Peninsula

By BRAD PERRY AFTER living, working and loving life by the river, Monash man Phil Reddy is pursuing a sea change. In what came as a shock to many of his colleagues, Phil recently stepped down from his long standing position as project manager with Renmark to the Border Local Action Planning Association and his community role as chair of the Renmark Rose Festival Committee. He has relocated to Goolwa and while he will miss the Riverland and its people, Phil said he will enjoy the change of scenery. “I really enjoyed going up and down the river and looking in all the backwaters and stuff like that,” he said. “I also enjoyed working with

the Rose Festival because it was set up by such a respected man as David Ruston.” When Phil moved to the region over 15 years ago, the winegrape industry was prospering and he decided to get on board. “The opportunity when I first came up here was to get involved with the grape industry when it was buoyant and have the opportunity to establish a vineyard,” he said. “We bought vacant land with a house and established everything that way. “Everything was positive, that was one good thing about the Riverland.” Phil took on several environmental positions during his time in the region, including being one of the first people involved with animal and plant control

Lameroo celebrations TWO of Lameroo’s best known landmarks will celebrate anniversaries this week. A building, which is currently operational under the name of Dolly’s Golden Rain Tree Crafts and Heritage, will have its 100th anniversary celebrations. The building also houses the Lameroo Craft Shop and the Lameroo & District Historical Society Museum. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the Lameroo Craft Club. For many years, the club has provided locals with the opportunity to showcase and sell their goods at a

shop, operated by volunteers. To commemorate both anniversaries, Dolly’s will be hosting an open house celebration from 2pm on Sunday, October 16. The unveiling of a commemorative plaque will take place at 2.30pm. Past and present members of the historical society and craft club, along with members of the community, are invited to join in the festivities. For more information, phone Heather Maynard of the historical society (8576 3633) or Ruth Gregor of the craft club (8576 6076).

on behalf of the five Riverland councils at the time. There are many memories of the region Phil will hold dear but several projects he has been involved with stick in his mind. One of the projects Phil remembers fondly was helping to prevent the locust plague around Murtho Road, the Gurra Lakes and on the eastern side of Lake Bonney when fly-ins occurred. “We were very instrumental in getting hold of the locusts before they had the opportunity

Stefano flies fruit flag RENOWNED Mildura chef Stefano de Pieri is supporting the campaign to keep our region fruit fly free. Mr De Pieri said it takes just one person doing the wrong thing to destroy an industry worth hundreds of millions of dollars. “It is not fruit fly that is the actual danger to a region like Sunraysia or the Riverland, it’s human beings,” he said. “There’s really no excuse for it. “All the major road approaches to the quarantine areas have signs that warn people not to carry fruit and other produce into the zone.” Mr De Pieri will appear in a series of television, press and radio announcements, raising awareness about fruit fly. “(It is important) to protect my community against fruit fly,” he said.

to lay their eggs and move on,” he said. Another was the opportunity to use flushing water from irrigation drip systems to water vegetation on wetlands and to help create a turtle protection zone on Lake Bonney, which led to a three year study into the broadshell tortoise. Working with the Riverland environment for so many years, Phil said he is worried about what will happen to local wetlands when the Murray Darling Basin Plan is finalised. “They are still sorting out the basin plan and the whole management of wetlands is going to, no doubt, change because the simple fact is, I don’t believe there will be enough water for some wetlands and that means there will be a whole new approach,” he said.

Led by Keith McAllister of Heritage Stone Restorations Pty Ltd, the training will provide the participants with the following hands-on experience: • Techniques in stone conservation • Use of lime mortars and traditional materials • Preparation, application & availability of materials • Understanding the difference between cement and lime based mortars This workshop will be run at Inneston Village, a State Heritage listed precinct within Innes National Park, on the lower Yorke Peninsula. Places are limited. For expressions of interest and further information on this course, please contact Senior Heritage Conservation Officer Andreea Sankey on 0467 719 556 or Mark Gosden (CITB) from 8.30am to 5.00pm on 8172 9500. 6193988-10

Phil’s ready to move on to a sea change

A 5 day course in Traditional Masonry Techniques is being held on the lower Yorke Peninsula, between 16th October and 21st October 2011. This course aims to help, develop and enhance knowledge of the craft amongst people who are working or possibly could be working on heritage structures within the construction industry.

Barmera’s sound proposition By CALLUM TRIFONOFF LOCALS could be dancing in the streets of Barmera if the Berri Barmera Council has its way. The council is considering installing speakers throughout Barwell Avenue, allowing music to be played. With the idea firmly on the council agenda, Barwell Avenue based business proprietors and customers seem happy with the idea. Peter Symens, of Symo’s Auto Know, said playing music through speakers would be acceptable but only if it was relaxing. “We don’t need something like hard rock playing in the streets,” Mr Symens said. “Music adds a nice atmosphere to the place but it should be quiet

enough so you can hear yourself on the phone.” Christina Mellon, of Christina’s Professional Curtain Making, agrees.

I don’t think there should be anything loud and heavy

“I think it would be a good idea,” Mrs Mellon said. “I don’t think there should be anything loud and heavy.” Riverland Food and Catering Supplies’ Tayla Pampling said

music played would make Barwell Avenue a happier and more lively place. “I think it would attract more people to the town,” Ms Pampling said. “If you put a radio station through the speakers, you could sit and listen to the songs of today.” Phillipa Flack of a Barwell Avenue carpet and vinyl store said the area is quiet and needs some music to liven it up. “I’d hate to be the one who decides what music is played but I think, overall, it is a good idea,” Mrs Flack said. “Music would give (Barwell Avenue) a bit of atmosphere and there was plenty of music at the recent country music festival and that was a good event.”

The Riverland Weekly asked Barmera residents what kind of music they would like to hear being played throughout Barwell Avenue, if the speakers were installed.

Justin Broughton “Maybe a bit of country-western and a bit of local music.”

Sam Koskinas “Modern music, like top 40 hits.”

Julie Cooper “Not headbanging music, just easy listening.”

Bewdy bottler Jack’s back By CALLUM TRIFONOFF SOMETHING is brewing at the Woolshed Brewery and Renmark man Jack Beavis is behind it, having the time of his life at his new job. Now that he is working at Woolshed Brewery, Jack’s passion for brewing has only increased. For Jack, life has moved fast since he went from brewing his own beer in Adelaide to moving to the Riverland at Christmas to make Woolshed’s renowned Amazon Ale. “I moved away from Renmark (to Adelaide) when I was 17, and when I got (there) I did it,” he said. “I thought it would be cheaper but then it turned on its head. “I thought ‘I’m only making cheap beer, how about making good beer?’. “That was the defining moment when it changed from making standard stuff to making the stuff in the shops.” Jack left his career path of working in manufacture management for the relaxed environment of Riverland beer brewing.

“Previous jobs in management, you don’t get the creative control in everything,” he said. “ I was working in production, planning, scheduling and purchasing with big companies and I just decided I didn’t like it. “Being given the brewery to work with and create stuff for people to enjoy, that’s what I love about it.” It is a hobby that was passed down the generations in the Beavis family. “My grandfather (brewed), my poppa did it, my dad brews now and that’s where I got my interest in it,” Jack said. “I’m having the time of my life, it’s one of those jobs where you don’t realise how good it is until you break away from what you’re doing and just go for it.” The local brewery is now tinkering with extending its range with a dark ale, which will be made from locally grown and roasted wattle seed. Meanwhile, Jack is keen to start a Riverland Beer and Brewers Club. If you are interested, contact him on 8595 8037.

for them and program it up so that the phone that’s earmarked for their desk is already running,” Simon said. “We know the site and we know how to set it up, so we can organise the phone lines and internet access to be hooked up as well.” Leading Edge Telecoms and Bill Star Communications have recently merged, giving customers even more expertise and advice in telecommunications.

The event has been planned to welcome the start of term three, beat the winter chills and raise funds for the annual year seven Canberra trip. “We have been doing fundraising for our grade seven trip to Canberra and thought a disco would be a great way to have heaps of fun and get to mix with kids from other schools,” St Albert’s student Dylan Miller said.

“We’ve got great music, laser lights, a limbo competition and even a crazy hairdressing salon where you can get your hair done wild and crazy, so come along and have a heap of fun with us,” fellow student Jasmine Drake said. The supervised disco will be held at Living Waters in Edward Street, with receptions to year three students having fun from 6pm to 7.15pm, then years four to seven from 7.30pm to 9pm. Entry is only $5 and includes a Nippy’s drink, packet of chips and even a crazy hair-do.

The great getaway W

WAIKERIE

HY are houseboats always so popular? Because you can constantly change your holiday destination. When you get on board, you don’t necessarily have to stay there. Get on board with some food and drinks and take off for the next part of your holiday. Or just bring some friends and have fun, it’s your choice. The first choice though is what sort of boat do you want? Well here is a good allrounder. A three cabin houseboat with evaporative aircon to keep comfortable and a 50 HP mariner outboard motor to keep you bowling along. Whether you want a cheap family getaway or a party boat, this boat is a great starter to get you on board and on the river.

Registration reminder stickers to help motorists TRADITIONAL government registration reminder stickers were abolished as of July 1, leaving many motorists at risk of unintentionally driving their vehicle unregistered and, if caught, facing significant fines. The Motor Trade Association of South Australia has teamed up with Registration Reminder to provide the community a sticker, at a small cost, that can be placed on a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window to remind any driver that their registration is due. MTA executive director John Chapman said that there needed to be an option for some form of registration reminder on the vehicle for the convenience of the owner and anyone else who may drive that vehicle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This sticker simply acts as a visual aid, reminding anyone who drives that car that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s registered,â&#x20AC;? Mr Chapman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we think about it, many people actually drive our cars, our family, friends, employees, service mechanics and repairers to name a few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This simple reminder could save South Australians hundreds of dollars in fines.â&#x20AC;? As part of this change

â&#x2013; PEELED: Registration stickers are being peeled off vehicles all across South Australia. Photo: SUPPLIED in registration system, the government has also installed fixed and mobile cameras, which can detect if a car is registered in real time and then a fine is

This simple reminder could save South Australians hundreds of dollars in fines.

issued appropriately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the possibility of being caught increased, those motorists who have genuinely misplaced their mail or forgot to change their address may not

get their renewal notice in time and, therefore, unintentionally drive their vehicle unregistered and possibly fined,â&#x20AC;? Mr Chapman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A visual reminder on the vehicle will help ensure drivers are aware when the registration is due.â&#x20AC;? The government has updated its ezyreg website (www.ezyreg.sa.gov.au) and developed a Smartphone application which enables anyone to check when a registrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expiry date is based on a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number plate. MTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s registration reminder stickers are available for $2.75 through the MTA print and stationery department (8440 2666) or print@mta-sa.asn.au.

More trouble for Google Street View vehicles GOOGLE was back in the hot seat this week, following a CNET report that suggests the search giantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Street View cars collected the locations of countless Wi-Fi devices in France, according to Techspot. Along with mapping Wi-Fi access points (the intended purpose), the vehicles also charted the street addresses and unique identifiers of wireless internet devices such as laptops and smartphones, a practice that has been confirmed by the CNIL (Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data privacy commission). What is worse, the search giant reportedly releases that information online, and you cannot opt

out of it. Harvested MAC addresses and their last known co-ordinates are published on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public geolocation database for all to access. Although this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inherently dangerous (it is effectively just a snapshot of where your device last was,

so it is not like someone can stalk you with the information), it still raises valid privacy concerns. For instance, someone could use the data to show you were at a specific place during a specific time and that is something you might not want to share with the world.

â&#x2013; GOOGLED: Internet giant Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Street View cars have again caused privacy concerns. Photo: INTERNET

Hot rates for car parking SYDNEY and Melbourne have some of the most expensive parking rates in the world, according to research released Tuesday, as both cities try to encourage people to leave their cars at home, AFP reports. The Colliers International Parking Rate Survey has Oslo as the priciest place to park at $US89.04 a day, followed by Copenhagen at US$73.11, then

Melbourne on US$69.53 and Sydney at US$67.42. The Indonesian capital Jakarta has the cheapest daily parking of the 156 cities surveyed at just 92 cents. Colliers national director of research Nerida Conisbee said council and government levies had pushed up costs in major Australian citiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; central business districts (CBDs). â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Sydney and Mel-

bourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CBDs, councils are actively discouraging people driving into the city,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that the strong Australian dollar had also increased the relative cost of parking. Earlier this month, the Economist Intelligence Unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biennial cost of living survey showed Sydney and Melbourne are now the sixth and seventh most expensive cities on the planet, respectively.

The T Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

Brenton’s big ride for charity

LMVD 46

■ FORMER Riverland man Brenton Dunhill is the main organiser of the Cycle for Hope challenge which will travel 3157 kilometres from Perth to Wentworth next month to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute. Brenton, who now resides in Perth, played A grade hockey and was also a cricketer and basketballer during the 1970s and 1980s when he lived in Renmark. He was also an Adelaide district and interstate hockey umpire. Organising events to raise money for charity is not new to Dunhill. As far back as 1983 he planned and took part in a marathon run from Port Lincoln to Renmark. The Black Dog Institute is an educational, research and clinical facility offering specialist expertise in mood disorders in Australia including depression. The Institute was formerly launched in 2002 following on the work of its predecessor of 17 years, The Mood Disorders Unit, and

aims to improve the lives of those affected by the likes of depression and, in turn, the lives of their family and friends. The Cycle for Hope challenge departs Perth on Saturday, August 6, and crosses the Nullabor arriving in Port Augusta on Monday, August 22, and Adelaide on Wednesday 24. It will then come, via Blanchetown, to Renmark on Friday 26 and finish at Wentworth the next day. A small band of cyclists will tackle the complete 22 stage journey with smaller groups to join in for various sections. The target for the fundraiser is $50,000 and sponsorship would be welcomed. Also with the event being so demanding, support crew are also required. What an experience such a trip would be. Anyone who feels they may be able to offer assistance in any way can ring Brenton on 0409 295 419.

Umpiring debate continues

■ TOTALLY convinced that any attempt to contribute to football’s ‘Umpiring Is Everyone’s Business’ campaign was going into an empty bucket, I had decided to move on. That was until I noticed that Riverland umpires coach, Fr. Steve Ardill had considered it necessary to go public in last Saturday’s local ‘Budget’ for the second week in a row expressing his disappointment that he had received feedback from people within his umpiring ranks and beyond that abuse, some of it very personal in nature, had continued to be directed towards some of his umpires. Let me cross the floor for a moment. One thing that really irks me in the small amount of AFL football I watch these days is some of the game’s leading umpires, even ‘miked up’ would you believe, seem to think it is them we want to watch and hear. I have heard them called prima donnas. Coincidentally, on a TV program last week, former AFL players Mark Maclure and David King dealt with the subject of respect and understanding of umpires. King, I thought, was

right on the money when he said something like “when we go to the football just to watch a game with no real support for either side, we do not seem to notice the umpires”. “When we are barracking for a particular team, we give them heaps,” he added. However, I digress. My reference to those annoying, attention grabbing AFL whistlemen brings me to suggest to any of our local umpires that may just by chance have a similar attitude, that surely it is better to simply go quietly yet firmly about the task in hand without doing anything unnecessary that may antagonise players, officials or anyone watching the game. Believe me, history tells us that during a contest nearly every adjudication on the rules you make will already be upsetting enough to someone, somewhere, without adding fuel to the fire. Mind you, there can still be no excuse for abuse of a personal nature. I now understand that at last the RFL has intervened and has called a meeting with club presidents for tonight to address the current issues.

The number of competitors in the Berri Resort Hotel Open Eightball Singles title.

SPORT

Adelaide’s Nemes is eight ball’s big winner ■ EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD Nathan Nemes (Adelaide) became the 19th winner in the 24 year history of the prestigious Berri Resort Hotel Open Eightball Singles title when he defeated the defending champion, Ballarat’s Jake McCartney, by four frames to three in an exciting final on Sunday night. McCartney, who first won the event in 2007 at 17, the youngest ever to do so, has therefore gone within one win of being the first triple winner of the title. However, nothing can be taken away from Nemes, who first came to the event as a junior. He fought back to defeat 2006 champion Mark Williams (Robinvale) 4-3, after trailing 3-0 in a tough quarter final, and 2009 winner Adam Andretzke 4-2 in a semi. Then in front of over 200 spectators in the final against McCartney, he raced to a 2-0 lead but then was put under real pressure as the

reigning champion grabbed the next three frames. With clean potting by both players a feature of one of the closest finals in many years, Nemes held his nerve to clinch the next two frames and over $3500 in prize money and trophies as the 2011 champion. McCartney, who won over $1700 of the total prize pool of $15,000, had played another cliffhanger against Nemes in a quarter final of the 2010 event and on that occasion had won 4-3. There can be no doubt this is a hard tournament to win. Just look at two of Australia’s leading players James Delahunty and Ben Nunan, who have been coming here for many years chasing the title. Both have won major events elsewhere. Nunan, for example, has taken out the $20,000 Big Guns tournament in his home city Melbourne

■ CHAMPION: Adelaide’s Nathan Nemes won the Berri Resort Hotel Open Eightball Singles title. and only recently finished fourth in the World Championships in England. Perhaps he is not destined to

win at Berri after a cruel twist of fate saw him exit this year at the quarterfinal stage. Tournament director of 24 years Neil Lemmey described as “freakish” a black ball spitting back out of the pocket when Nunan was poised to clinch a victory over Andretzke 4-3 in a hard fought contest. “That ball should have stayed in the pocket,” he added. Ten Riverland players did well to qualify from Saturday’s sectional play, with Cobdogla Club’s Glen Carter then going on to make the last 32. A total of 358 players nominated for this year’s tournament, one more than in 2010 and with up to 30 regular Berri entrants opting to watch the world class Goldfields Open Snooker event that was held simultaneously in Bendigo, this number was particularly pleasing to organisers. The weekend is, of course, not all about the champi-

onship event as there is plenty of eightball available to male players and female of all standards. Friday night’s restricted knockouts went to Steve McCormick and Steve Perry, while the number one invitational knockout saw 1989 and 1997 open champion Alec Evreniadis defeat McCartney and the number two had 2008 title winner Brenton Collier again relegate McCartney to the runners-up position. Jarrod Bennett defeated Nick Young in the final of the under 18 knockout, which involved a field of 18 highly skilled youngsters, while on Sunday, the pot out competition went to Brad Richmond and, from 50 entrants in the ladies event, Gemma Pike defeated Emma Babauta in the final. The ‘Could Have Been Champions’ knockout for non-qualifiers and round one casualties saw Jamie Stevens win against Michael Schulz.

Lions in the running for rare Mallee football finals campaign ■ MY EYES of our region’s football, the ‘From The Ute’ crew, reported in Monday’s email that they had a most enjoyable trip to visit some fellow farmers at Peake on Sunday where a few extra snags were thrown on the barbecue to celebrate an upset win by the local team, keeping their chances of some overdue finals action alive. It has been a common thought that if Peake, the ‘chopping block’ in the Mallee competition in recent times, could have mustered its best new look lineup onto the park consistently in 2011, they would have been a genuine premiership chance. However, injuries etc have not been kind until now and last Saturday, for the second time this season, Peake defeated their rivals for fourth spot, Karoonda. A very even performance by the Lions, with players like Lachlan Wilson, Caine Lynn, Chad Freak and Aaron Hand (seven goals) outstanding, defeated the Magpies 17.15 (117) to 9.8 (62) to take them to eight points, percentage 47.48, behind Karoonda, 10 and 51.40. Reigning champions BDT sit on top of the table with 22 points, although perhaps not as comfortably as they did before their first 2011 loss for the season on Saturday, Lameroo are nicely poised on 18 with Murrayville, the team that rolled the ladder leader, now looking safe on 14.

in the last game after beating Waikerie and with a nucleus of stars, including recovered ruck ace Nathan Farr, Ryan Bennett, Jaryd Rowe, Brett Wakefield, skipper Trevor Thorpe, Peter Dempsey and goal sneak Dale Pfeiffer, all in top form, none of Berri (at Renmark), Loxton North (at Panther Park) and Barmera-Monash at (Renmark) are safe. Has the ‘sleeping giant’ tag travelled from one end of the league to the other, Waikerie to Rover territory? The table in the Independent competition further increases the pressure created on FTU in this tipping caper. With three rounds to go, Paringa and Lyrup, 24 points, and Blanchetown-Swan Reach, 20, are finals bound but who will join them out of East Murray, 12 (54 per cent), Ramco 12 (46%) and Brown’s Well 10 (51%)? This Saturday, they predict Paringa will defeat Ramco, BSR will topple East Murray, Wunkar will go down to Brown’s Well and Lyrup will beat Cobdogla. Then, in the remaining two rounds, East Murray travels to Moorook and have Wunkar at home, Ramco hosts Cobdogla and then goes to Paruna and Brown’s Well is at home to Lyrup and then play Ramco. A crystal ball has been utilised and FTU says East Murray will be fourth possibly on percentage barring more upsets, of course.

Strong netball academy effort praised ■ THE Murray under 17 netball team finished runner-up to Southern in the recent annual Regional Academy Championships played at ETSA Park in Adelaide. Making a bid for its third title in a row, Murray won five of its lead up round robin matches against the other seven academies, including a first up win over South East (21-20), and lost one by a single goal to Mount Lofty (22-23).

It drew against Southern (15-15). In the semi-finals, Murray reversed the earlier result against Mount Lofty to win 27-18, while Southern ended South East’s journey 27-16. Southern won the championship decider against Murray (2215). From the under 17 competition, Murray had Berri A1 pair Ellee Eleftheriadis and Tay-

lee Howard, along with Kirsty Gregory (River Murray) and Letisha Heintze (Mallee) named in the State Academy Squad. Other players prominent over the hectic two day, nine game program included Loxton North’s Erika Sporn and Barmera player Meg Gillespie, who was a late addition to the team following the withdrawal of Berri’s Ebony Hoffmann due

to injury. The Murray under 15 and under 13 teams, after both being finalists in recent seasons, were confronted by tough competitions on this occasion. South East won the under 13s and Eyre the under 15s. Both of the younger groups were competitive throughout but could only manage one victory from their seven round robin games.

Renmark’s Ashlyn Menz was named in the Top 10 from the under 13 competition, while Berri’s Stephanie Sarro and River Murray’s Tamara Mark were selected in the under 15 State Academy Squad. Officials also made mention of the consistent efforts of Shenae Rucioch and Annabel O’Dea in under 13s and Hannah Learhinan and Jordan Jachmann in under 15s.

SPORT

Hockey titles up for grabs With the Riverland Hockey Association finals just weeks away, the Riverland Weekly’s Callum Trifonoff takes a look at how the teams have performed so far and assesses their premiership chances. can achieve. Aaron Boehm and Ryan Edwards have been in prolific form of late and after a draw against Renmark and wins against Loxton and Berri, Waikerie could be the smokey for the premiership.

Men Berri OUT of all four men’s A grade teams, Berri has been the one team to develop a spine of players, who have featured in almost every game so far. Veteran talisman Brett Stokes has continued to star, scoring eight times for the Berri side. The champion team has also had strong commitment from Lincoln Matulin, Paul Santos and goalkeeper Tony Halupka. However, Berri’s performances have not matched last year’s efforts, with the side winning only one match so far. Despite an upset win over Loxton in round nine, the side looks unlikely to repeat last year’s success. Medal favourite: Brett Stokes

Loxton HAVING been knocked off the top of the premiership table by Renmark recently, Loxton will be aiming to win back pole position as soon as possible. The side missed the chance to go further ahead on the table with a shock loss to minnows Berri in round nine and this was followed by a defeat to now top Renmark. Key players this season have included the elusive veteran Karl Hennig, a major threat in front of goal, and Aaron Evans, Tim Vivian and Sean Burgess have both had major impacts at A grade level. Loxton needs to get back on track before the finals and will be

Medal favourite: Aaron Boehm

Women

Renmark IT IS A GOOD view from the summit for Renmark but the side needs to avoid becoming complacent in the build up to the finals. Having knocked off a Loxton side which has been facing problems of its own, Renmark faces Waikerie this week in need of a win that will keep it in front spot for the minor premiership. There have been many stars who have helped Renmark get to the top, including Danial Shawyer and Aden Shaw, who have hit their

straps in front of goal. Danial Casey and Jordan Caire are others who have worried opposition defences. For Renmark, it needs to continue winning and take strong form into the finals. Medal favourite: Danial Shawyer

Waikerie FOR Waikerie, the aim for this season should be a premiership. It is a realistic aim as well, as it has knocked off Berri and Loxton is becoming shakier by the week. There is still the chance of winning the minor premiership but if Waikerie can find its form leading into the finals, who knows what it

minor premiership and will be hard to beat in the finals. With brilliance up forward from Eloise Hampel (17 goals) and the ever-reliable Billie-Jo Hammerstein and Stephanie Baird, it will be hard to see any team triumph but Loxton this season. Medal favourite: Billie-Jo Hammerstein

Berri

Renmark

HAVING been undefeated going into last week’s game against Waikerie, which had only one win to its name, Berri suffered a monumental collapse. It went down 15-0 and losing its first game, with five of its key players unavailable. Berri will now need to be at its best and avoid any other blips in the run to the finals. With Loxton the front-runner to win the minor premiership, Berri’s stars Merinda McMahon, Kristen Hibberd and Kris Weir will need to help the side redeem itself after the horror loss to Waikerie. Youngsters Amber Spronk and Catherine Starr have been in good form and if their team-mates click, Berri could still be the team to beat in September.

AFTER Berri’s collapse at the hands of Waikerie last week, Renmark found itself back in the hunt for a top-two finish. Top scorer Danielle Weeks (five goals) has been in good form, as has youngster Kirby Trautwein and the experienced Juliet Mallinson. So far, Renmark is the only team to deny Loxton a win, with a 3-3 draw, and only lost 3-2 last week. In a tight battle against Berri, Renmark could be Loxton’s biggest rival come finals.

Medal favourite: Merinda McMahon

Loxton THINGS are running smoothly in the Loxton camp, undefeated after 10 games and with only one draw amongst its results. The side is favourite to take the

Medal favourite: Danielle Weeks

Waikerie AFTER thumping Berri 15-0 and recording only its second victory of the season, Waikerie could be on the up. The side put in its best performance of the season and has also been a challenger to Renmark and Loxton this season. If the likes of Alison Schulz, Cheryse Hope and Brianna Seabrook click, Waikerie could be a force to be reckoned with. Medal favourite: Alison Schulz

Hayden looks to 50 Peter aims at second Loxton title metre event at worlds ■ From Page 32

■ From Page 32 Despite the narrow finals miss, Riverland Swimming Association president Jenni Trewren, who watched Stoeckel swim as a junior, said he should rebound from it. “He’s missed out on the final and I’m sure he’ll be very disappointed but to be ranked ninth in that (event) in the world is still an awesome achievement,” Dr Trewren said. “I think, as Hayden has commented, he’s starting to get some competition come up from some of the young backstrokers and I’m sure that will help to push him.” Stoeckel still has one more chance of glory at the championships, with the 50 metre backstroke event to be held on Saturday.

Dr Trewren said Stoeckel may find it tough to come away with the victory but was confident the Olympic medallist would give it his best shot. “A lot of it is about his mind and body,” she said. “He’s got to get himself in a positive place mentally. “The 100 is certainly his strongest event but I think he’s got the ability (to perform in the 50 metre event.” Dr Trewren said following the worlds, Stoeckel will turn his attention to the Australian Olympic Swim Trials at the State Aquatic Centre in Adelaide next month. “From a Riverland point of view, (we) will be there cheering not only Hayden on but a lot of other Australian swimmers,” she said.

■ HOPE: RIverland born Hayden Stoeckel will be hoping to regain his Olympic medal winning form to claim a win at the 100 metre backstroke final at the World Swimming Championships in Shanghai on Monday.

Of the Riverlanders competing, club champion Ramon Thorne is considered a favourite and Harman conceded he is the man to beat, off a two handicap. “There are some pretty good golfers in the field,” Harman said of the event. “We’ve got some golfers coming who are playing off scratch or one. “You never know, over a couple of rounds anything can happen.” Harman admitted winning the title in consecutive years would be a great feeling. “I’d been trying 30 years to win one and I finally won one last year, so that was pretty exciting,” he said. “To go back-to-back, that would be sensational.” The competition begins tomorrow with a mixed foursomes competition, before the men’s and women’s open events are held over two days, beginning on Saturday. Loxton Golf Club president Glen Arnold said the course is looking in top shape for the major tournament. “It’s in fantastic condition and as good as we’ve had it for many years,” he said. “It’s one of our biggest events and also that means, therefore financially, it’s a benefit to the club by a long way.” Arnold agreed that Thorne has built up enough form to be in the top category of the open winners. “He’s been playing very well

lately,” he said. “In the pennants he’s been successful nearly every time he’s played, so he’s obviously got the wood on a lot of the other players in the Riverland. “They are all very good golfers,

don’t get me wrong, but Ramon is one of the special players.” There will be a number of other local players in the mix at the open including Renmark’s Corey Foreman, playing off a three handicap.

■ SEMI-RETIRED: Barmera’s Jade Farrelly has semi-retired from the sport of powerlifting, putting an end, for now, to what was turning out to be a promising career. Photo: FILE

Injury takes toll on Jade’s lifting career By CALLUM TRIFONOFF AFTER making a big initial impact in the sport of powerlifting, injury has forced Barmera’s Jade Farrelly into semi-retirement. The injury was one that doctors believe happened around 13 years ago and it came back to bite Farrelly in 2008 during a routine powerlift. It was discovered Farrelly’s L4 lumbar vertebrae in her spine was damaged, forcing her to

give up powerlifting and focus on bench-pressing at the 2008 Bendigo National Championships, before semi-retiring. “(The injury) caused shooting pains down my left leg,” Farrelly said. “It could have come about from anything when I was younger, I could have tripped over, fallen or landed wrongly and I had to give powerlifting up, I had to stop it from being painful.”

Much has gone against Farrelly since her decision to quit the sport, nothing hitting harder than the passing of her father Murray. “A lot has happened since I stopped, Dad passing away was really hard, ever since he was diagnosed with cancer,” she said. “He was a well-known police officer, his passing really hurt.” Despite currently enjoying a relaxed sporting life, Farrelly

Bad luck for Francombe ■ AFTER a great start to the Bentley Cabin Park Flinders 450 Off-Road weekend at Baroota, the only starter in the event from the WaikerieRiverland club, Toby Francombe, unfortunately had to pull out with mechanical problems after one lap of section one of the main race. Francombe, with navigators Naomi Ridley and Maree Francombe, drove his new Rids Racing Frame Chev into 10th spot in the prologue, an excellent performance amongst over 40 vehicles that had gathered for round

three of the Australian championships. He followed up with a ninth place in the Top 10 Shoot Out. Meanwhile, mechanical issues with his Geiser Bros Trophy Truck had ruined Brad Gallard’s plans of being a second Riverland starter in the event. The outright winners of the Flinders 450 were current Australian off-road champions Dave Fellows and Mark Bergamin in their Peter Kittle Motor Sports Toyota Jimco, but only after a titanic struggle with Dan Auricht and Grant Connelly

who finished second in their Chev Jimco. In form brothers Carl and Aaron Haby being unable to start in the event provided just one of the hard luck stories from the weekend. Millicent’s Greg Gartner, with his Ford Extreme 2WD, fresh from his triumph in the Finke Desert classic, was involved in a spectacular rollover in front of the crowd only 150 metres from the start of the prologue. I understand he was taken to hospital with a back injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season.

hopes to one day return to powerlifting, possibly in the next two years. “I’m currently focusing on the running and the walking at the moment,” she said. “I’m also playing B1 netball for Barmera, I find it a bit of an outlet where I can get my frustrations out. “I would like to return to powerlifting one day but it takes a lot out of you and I need to be in the right state-of-mind.”

SPORT

Powerlifting titles soon ■ POWERLIFTING SA will be strongly represented when the Drug Free Association hosts the National Single Lift Championships at the Renmark Club on Saturday, August 6. Some 15 lifters from this state, including locals Rose Gow (Barmera), Sheryl Rapson (Winkie), Gale Fiebig (Glossop) and newcomers Dee Stocker (Glossop), Fran Marlor (Loxton) and Andrew Norris (Berri), will take part along with visitors from interstate, particularly from Victoria and NSW. A group from Adelaide will involve father and son duos David and Clay Wescomdown and Damien and Chris Powell. Association president Don Juers, from Kingston-on-Murray, is confident that not only state and national but new world records will be established during the competition which will involve drug testing under the drug free charter. The competition will start at 10am and entry is free. Enquiries to Don Juers (8583 0196).

Many reasons to love winter WINTER is definitely the coldest, bitterest season. It rains (well, not so much in the Riverland), the wind howls and dew covers the morning grass. Winter is so freezing. Nearly literally. Everyone parades around in ugg boots and warm coats and nearly everyone moans about the season and how they wish it were summer. Summer has its advantages. Swimming, going to the beach and licking ice-creams. I can see why it seems so lovely in comparison to our current weather! Summers here can be immensely hot. But in Australia we are lucky, because sunny is our famed climate. Imagine living in England or some place, where it is cold. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love the snow and ice-skating. Even in Australia, winter can be nice, even without snow and ice-skating. I love food we normally eat in winter. There are many tasty treats we can binge on during the season. Why would any one not want an excuse to buy hot chocolate? There are also many opportunities on cold nights to eat a lovely hot meal. My mum makes traditional winter casseroles, which are delicious. Nothing beats dipping bread in casserole with the heater going, knowing of the low temperature out-

TEEN PERSPECTIVE side. This always makes me feel nostalgic. Winter fashion is also nice, particularly if you are female. Us girls always love shopping for new things for the cold and sometimes shops have winter sales. I always like wearing a cardie, wrist-warmers or ugg boots with pom-poms!

One last reason winter can be cool, in the colloquial sense, is winter sport! All the sporting teams from young children to adults get up early to play. There is always a lot of local support and people munching on warm donuts. These are the reasons I love winter, despite the cold.

You may, or may not agree with Mr Opinion but he will get you thinking.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Miraculousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; healing

ou want to know what really annoys me? People who say they have been â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;healed by Godâ&#x20AC;Ś.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Really? How? Also, why you, and not someone else? Why not the eight-year-old girl with cancer, who prayed every night but still died? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certain you feel glad about the fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better now, and who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? Before you open your mouth, stop and think why exactly you might be feeling the need to come out and say what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to. Is sharing your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;God-

in any circumstances and it can bring out the best in people. However, I will argue that in some cases, no hope, or at least a realistic hope, may be better than a false hope. I strongly doubt that you would feel comfortable about looking that little eight-year-old girl in the eyes and telling her that she could be healed if she prays hard enough. Being cured of any sort of ailment suddenly and inexplicably certainly is a wonderful thing and something to be celebrated. I understand the need to want to speak about having been so. However, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bring our thinking up to the modern age, and be prescribers to the words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coincidenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, long before we entertain the world â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;miracleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. At least be willing to accept such possibilities before you preach of your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;miraculousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;God-willingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience to others and try to maintain a practical perspective in this world.

givenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience meant to give a genuine hope to others in the same predicament? If you look at the track record of the terminally ill being healed through miracles, the figures are quite low; essentially, zero (compared to those who die instead). Or is it just for you to feel good about yourself, so that others might think you are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;specialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; somehow? I think you should watch what you say before you start clouding your own beliefs with reality. I noticed that the guy that said the Devil had healed him didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite make the news and people ignored the man who went around shouting that Zeus had made him well. For some reason, many still seem to have a very misguided attachment to the fact that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wants something to do with whether they live or die. Sorry; but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong; hope is a very powerful thing. We should hold onto it

Mr Sarakinis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given the club a facelift, new DJ console, new stage lighting and everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing really well (in the past three weeks).â&#x20AC;? Mr Sarakinis said the Renmark Club has big plans for the future of the rivaz night club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After we had 400 people sign up, which was really overwhelming, we want this to keep going,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(We want to have) a membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; night and maybe a retro night as well, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got big plans.â&#x20AC;? You can have a great night out at Digital Sessions this Friday, starting at 9pm.

Trifâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trivia

RIVAZ Night Club is only three weeks old but already it has made an immediate impact. With around 500 people attending its opening night at the Renmark Club, rivaz, which presents renowned local shows such as Digital Sessions, has a big future in the Riverland according to organisers. Renmark Club manager Brenton Franks was delighted with the response from locals to the changes at the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we had the launch, we had 500 people through the door and our set-ups have been improving every Friday,â&#x20AC;? Mr Franks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making a lot of changes slowly (to the club) so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bombard people with one big change.â&#x20AC;? Since the launch, Rivaz

has held two shows, which Mr Franks said were just as good as the opening night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our past two Friday nights have been good, even with the footy and netball going on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re built for a good summer, hopefully.â&#x20AC;? With Friday nights already a popular feature at the club, Mr Franks hopes it will become a Riverland tradition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a lot of interactions through Facebook and the local DJs attracting the audience,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a few replies already.â&#x20AC;? It is not just clubbers who are embracing the changes made to the club but also the performers. Local DJ Andrew Sarakinis said the aim was for the club to revamp Friday nights for local clubbers and he believes that mission is
