RECYCLING FIRST ■ RED: Loxton residents Vanessa and Darrin Kohrt with a bin to be used in the trial.

IN A first for the Riverland, a select group of Loxton residents have begun a kerbside recycling trial with the first collections taking place next week. One hundred and twelve properties from five streets have been selected to participate in the trial with three bins, including what is believed to be an Australian first 360 litre yellow lidded bin for general recyclable items. After years of kerbside recycling talk, the trial is the first physical

THE State Government must come to the party to help the Renmark Paringa Council repair the community’s levee banks. It is clear that local government, particularly one in a struggling region, cannot ask ratepayers to pay a levee levy to cover all of the monumental costs required to fix the floodbank. It is not just in health that the old saying prevention is better than cure is the truth. It also applies to the fundamental protection of our communities from avoidable damage. The 1956 flood is recent history for all in this community and for many in government circles. We sensibly can deduce from that historical event that any damage caused by floods will result in a significant damage bill, which will need to be footed by the upper levels of government. Both the state and federal governments must come to the party and support the Renmark Paringa Council in the repairs at minimal cost to already overburdened ratepayers. A lack of activity at federal and state level to provide preventative measures against flooding will, at some stage, come back to bite them. One thing is for certain, no public servant likes the community pointing at them and saying, “I told you so”.

Tyre removal not the end By BRAD PERRY A DECISION by the Riverland Tourism Association (RTA) to hand over management of the iconic Yamba Tyre does not signal the group’s future intentions, according to the group’s chair. Fleur Carthew, who chairs the RTA, said the future of the tyre has been on the association’s agenda for some time and is not directly a result of the local tourism body going into a 12 month holding pattern. “The tyre was our one big unusual asset that we had and it’s just something we looked at and who can perhaps use it,” Mrs Carthew said. “We’ve had it for a long time and it’s just something that’s not really within our portfolio and we need to look at divesting ourselves of it. “It’s not because we have gone

Thursday August 11, 2011 – Riverland Weekly • 3 n old: Levee banks across the Renmark Paringa district are in need of repair. The Murray Darling Association has vowed to fight for funding for the upgrade of the floodbanks.

It should be a shared responsibility and I think that point’s got to keep being made.

Najar: Help fix levee banks THE Murray Darling Association has thrown its support behind the Renmark Paringa Council’s bid for financial help to repair the district’s 50 year old ailing levee banks. At a meeting with River Murray Minister Paul Caica last week, council was told the State Government has no direct funding for the repairs. Murray Darling Association general manager Ray Najar said the issue “is not something (the State Government) can just turn their backs on”. “There are some isolated spots where they need immediate action and there’s some bigger areas that need a lot of work

if they’re going to protect themselves against a much, much higher flow,” Mr Najar said. “They know there are some weak spots and there has been some neglect over the past few years and it seems to be that the State Government is not taking responsibility for its asset. “It seems to think that it’s Renmark Paringa Council’s responsibility, which I think is utter cr*p.” Mr Najar said not only would assets in Renmark and surrounding districts be lost if floodwater was to break the levee banks but also, State Government property. “The state’s got assets in the town as well as anybody else has. “Same as insurance compa-

nies, they’ve got just as much right to want to see their investments and assets protected. “It should be a shared responsibility and I think that point’s got to keep being made, I don’t care what the government says.” The association will do everything it can to support council in its attempts to repair the banks. “Whatever we can do as an organisation we will continue to do that and we will continue to raise it as an important issue,” Mr Najar said. “It’s not something you walk away from.” Borrowing the full $4 million to repair the levee banks is not a situation council can afford, according to Mr Najar. “There are some minor repairs

they can do within the realms of the annual budget but they are limited by that,” he said. “Obviously, Renmark would have to borrow money to do it (without government funding). “It’s a much bigger number than the ratepayers can afford to do in one year, so they would have to go and borrow money.” Mr Najar said the Federal Government must also be involved in the levee bank repair process. “The Federal Government is going to get it in the neck on flood disaster recovery if it doesn’t fix it now,” he said. “It’s better to look at how to prevent the disaster rather than allow the disaster to happen and then have to come back and find even more dollars.”

Renmark wine fest Internment camp motion plans taking shape By CALLUM TRIFONOFF

By BRAD PERRY PLANS have pushed forward for a food and wine festival to be held in Renmark, with organisers confident of confirming a 2012 date in the coming weeks. Initially the organisers, a group of local businesses and interested parties, were hoping to stage the event over Easter this year but it was decided more time was needed to plan the festival.

“It is building momentum and organisation,” he said. “We’ve got the basis there from our New Year’s Eve event that we’ll piggyback on to.” It is understood there were also plans for the festival to be held on Easter Sunday next year but no grant funding was available to help the event for that time. According to a Facebook event page, a feature of the Renmark Food and Wine Festival will be A Day by the River which will be

attending’ and their choices may change when the new festival date is announced. Mr Franks said the festival can work, with one already held at Berri in October, and will be a boost for the Riverland. “It will be good for Renmark and the community to have something here with all local produce and local wineries,” he said. “It’s just another option for something to do over a weekend.” The Renmark Food and Wine Festival will be on a much smaller scale to the Berri event and will attract visitors to the region, according to Mr Franks. “We’ll definitely advertise it and make sure it’s out there through SA Tourism,” he said. “We will need to capitalise on the riverfront and the river and we’ve got an ideal venue out the front there.”

STAFF members at defunct Loxton based packing company BP Fruit are yet to receive Federal Government redundancy packages, despite the company shutting its doors over three months ago. Liquidator Kennedy & Co was hopeful General Employment Entitlements and Redundancy Scheme (GEERS) payments would have already been made to the fruit company’s workers. “We’re hoping it (GEERS payment)...is in the very near future,” Kennedy & Co partner Robert Spiby said. “You would expect, like anyone, same as you or I, we are working people and you rely on your weekly pay, so getting that money from the government is usually a necessary bonus. “We hope that money comes through for them quickly.” It has also been revealed a Riverland business has a contract on the former BP

A STATE politician has moved a motion for people to understand the pain and suffering felt by prisoners of the Loveday Internment Camps and their families. Member for Light Tony Piccolo, who attended the 70th anniversary of the internment camps in July and had an uncle who was imprisoned at Loveday during World War II, said the story behind one of the Riverland’s most historically relevant locations is one that affects many to this day. “The motion came about after I researched the matter a bit,” Mr Piccolo said. “It’s obviously not a story that is well-known by the public. “If you ask around, nine out of 10 people wouldn’t be aware. “There are important and dramatic stories behind it, so that’s why I thought it would be a good idea to make the public more aware.” The motion seeks to find out more about the experiences of people of ethnic background, who were imprisoned in the camp for no reason and seen as “enemy aliens”, according to Mr Piccolo. “Forty per cent of the Italian

Fruit land and buildings but does not intend to continue using the facility as a packing shed. Mr Spiby said Riverlanders embraced the sale of the property, with many also turning out to last week’s auction of BP Fruit’s fruit grading and packing equipment. “We’re very fortunate with the amount of Riverland businesses that

got involved,” he said. “There is only a couple of assets still to sell, including the compact grader line, which we are hoping to finalise a sale over...to the interested parties. “It looks like, at this point, that all the money will cover the secured creditors.” On the verge of closing the chapter that was

BP Fruit, Mr Spiby said some matters still need to be finalised. “The next step now is to clear up the other monies owing to the business through debtors and other minor amounts outstanding to them and really trying to clean up the liquidation and see what the final result will be,” he said.

Temporary relief for grower exports as exchange rate drops By BRAD PERRY GLOBAL financial instability may provide temporary relief for Riverland growers’ exports, with the value of the Australian dollar dropping significantly this week. At time of print, the Australian dollar had slumped to $1.01 US dollars after hitting almost $1.10 US early last week. With citrus and almonds from the region being exported, or to be exported in the coming months, the drop in the Australian dollar means more return for growers. Riverland Lending Services managing director Jeff McDonald said economic problems in America and Europe have added to the drop in Australian dollar value. “We base ourselves against the US and the trou-

ble we are having at the moment is the US are the ones in trouble with their economy,” he said.

We base ourselves against the US and the trouble we are having...is the US are the ones in trouble

“It’s the first time in as much as three years that the exchange rate is actually looking like it is heading the other way and that’s got to give us all hope.” If the Australian dollar remains around the one dollar mark or lower, the local winegrape industry, which

has been hit with poor prices in previous seasons, may benefit, according to Mr McDonald. “Hypothetically, if half or two thirds of our wine goes overseas and the exchange rate comes back and keeps coming back, then that margin should come down through prices,” he said. “It will help the wineries because theoretically they are going to keep the margin regardless and the better deals they can do, the more money they can get back into their pockets from their sales, the more they are able to pass onto the grower.” The current economic situation means it is hard to predict as to whether the Reserve Bank will raise or cut interest rates in the coming months, according to Mr McDonald.

Lake connected back to river but...

Bonney needs more help By BRAD PERRY THE flow of fresh water to Lake Bonney following its reconnection to the River Murray has helped drop salt levels in the lake but community members believe more needs to be done to ensure its future. A motion was passed during last month’s Berri Barmera Council meeting to write to River Murray Minister Paul Caica asking that weir pool manipulation be implemented at the lake with the river’s current higher than average flows. It is understood the weir pool manipulation concept was part of the previously released management plans for the future of the lake. Since being reconnected, the Save Lake Bonney Group has been collecting water samples and sending them to Adelaide for testing with results revealing a drop from around 14,000 to 8000 EC units. Berri Barmera Councillor and former Lake Bonney Management Committee chair Mike Fuller said the salt levels still need to be further reduced. “(The EC units are) still about double what they were prior to the lake being disconnected,” he said.

“You (can) lower Lock 3 and allow the water to drain out, so that any saline water goes out without interfering with the amount we are actually allowed to release into the river. “If we can do that and get the water out whilst there is still a reasonable flow of water, we don’t have any problems with doing so.

Iff they h adopt that option, it won’t cost them anywhere near the amount they are claiming. g.

“Then when you put the boards back in at Lock 3, the water level rises and fresh water goes back into the lake, which should take it back down to somewhere between two and 4000 EC units, which is exactly the sort of level we’d like to have in the lake.” Mr Fuller said council has already

written to the Murray Darling Basin Natural Resources Mangement Board with similar requests. “To this point in time the Murray Darling Basin NRM Board haven’t done anything about it, so essentially the motion was we question them (the State Government) to do so again,” he said. If weir pool manipulation is used for Lake Bonney, Mr Fuller said there will also be the opportunity to remove rocks that were put near the culverts to prevent erosive effects of water as it was rushing through. “Also at the same time, if they drop the weir pool level, they’ll be able to get earthmoving machinery in to remove the other rocks and items that are in Chamber’s Creek at the entrance, without the great expense of putting in coffer dams,” Mr Fuller said. “The reality is they (the State Government) are not likely to spend the $200,000 odd that we’ve been told it will cost them to build coffer dams to remove the other items that are still in Chambers Creek. “If they adopt that option, it won’t cost them anywhere near the amount they are claiming it will, so it would have a win/win situation.”

Phillips takes on key Berri business role By CALLUM TRIFONOFF UNDER the guidance of new president Barry Phillips, the Berri District Business Association will start to think outside the town. Having put his hand up for the job at the association meeting last Wednesday, Mr Phillips now holds the double title of president and secretary and hopes he can attract interest from smaller towns outside Berri. “I was in Monash on Monday, I’ll be going to Winkie and Glossop (as well) because we don’t actually have any members from those three towns,” he said. “We need to come up with a strategic plan so we can go out to our non-members and convince them that coming on board and joining the Berri District Business Association will have its benefits, not only for us but for those businesses. “I’d like to build our

membership and to really settle down on what is the future of our association. “If we can achieve those areas, particularly membership (increase), we’re on the right track.” Mr Phillips hopes to continue the “great work” achieved by former president Donna Langford. “Our committee has been really strong in my time, we’ve sort of maintained a status quo of what we had to achieve,” he said. “It’ll be an aim now for us to address and bring forward the business plan, which we’ve already commenced last week and (are) working on.” Despite his recent appointment, Mr Phillips said he will gladly step down if someone else wishes to take over the role of president. “If there’s anybody who comes forward, it will always have an open door,” he said. “It will hopefully be a short term role for me.”

Wood Hall lease held up By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Renmark Lions Club is still no closer to gaining approval from the Renmark Paringa Council to lease the Renmark Show Society’s Wood Hall in order to use it as clubrooms. Despite the long running negotiations, which have lingered since April, president Colin Pettigrew said the club is still hopeful at this stage. “The council still has to approve it and then notify the public to give (other organisations) a fair go,” Mr Pettigrew said. “I have no idea of whether they will offer it to us and, of course, we don’t know what the terms will be.” The hall will be handed over by the Renmark Show Society to the council soon. With the club’s monthly garage sales held to raise funds to support community projects, Mr Pettigrew said the hall will be an ideal location for the club. “The club is strong, we’re always

■ TOGETHER: John and Pat Lill’s engagement photo before he was sent to fight in the war.

HEN she received a telegram during the World War II suggesting her fiancé was believed to be dead, Pat Lill knew it was not true. In the late 1930s, Pat and her husband John became engaged and were planning their wedding before war broke out and John enlisted to fight. Yesterday the Renmark pair happily celebrated 65 years of a marriage that almost didn’t happen. When Pat received the correspondence suggesting John would not be coming home from war, she was far from convinced. “Strangely, I knew he was coming home,” Pat, 91, said. “His mother was the same, we both knew he was coming home but in what condition we had no idea. “Everybody said ‘what if he doesn’t come home?’, I said ‘he’s coming home’ and he came.” It was an agonising three and a half years but Pat was willing to wait for John to return, so she could marry the love of her life. The pair enjoyed celebrating their major anniversary milestone this week are happy to say the spark remains. “We’ve managed and we still love one another, that’s the main thing,” Pat said. “I was fortunate Pat waited for me and we were quite happy together,” John, 90, added.

Meeting

John and Pat met outside Renmark’s Arcadia Theatre (next to the present day Yates Menswear shop), as it was known in those days, at the age of 20 when John’s sister introduced them to each other. During his time in the war, it was the hope Pat was still waiting for him in the Riverland, which kept John’s spirit alive.

BRAD PERRY John, who is believed to be the region’s last remaining prisoner of war camp survivor, recalls the horror he witnessed on the battlefront in Asia. “We didn’t last long,” he said. “We didn’t have planes, we didn’t have tanks, it was a one sided argument.”

Battle for life Taken POW, John spent 12 months in Singapore before being forced to work on the Burma to Thailand Railway, known as the Death Railway. He said he was able to survive through the “human tragedy” because of his will to live. “I had my problems,” he said. “Up in the railway we were so far away from civilisation, supplies and medicine. “None of it was mechanical, it was all by hand labour, digging, carrying, all that sort of thing. “You had to make the best of it there, you felt like giving it away but you had to have a positive attitude to life (to survive). “I was fortunate, as quite a number of my mates are still over there.” Conditions in the prisoner of war camps saw the loss of life for many soldiers. “Unfortunately they (the Japanese) treated us quite badly,” John said. “I wasn’t treated as bad as some of them but I had my fair share. “Unfortunately you couldn’t retaliate because they had the whip, hand-guns and sticks. “If you retaliated, big problems.”

When John eventually returned home in 1941 it was hard to adapt to life but he was happy Pat was by his side. “I was very fortunate because my wife and I were engaged before I left and she was still waiting there for me,” he said. “My wife wanted to get married but it took a while because I felt in myself I wasn’t back to normal enough but we eventually got married in 1946. “Some blokes, their wives didn’t wait. “She believed that I would come back and that’s what it boils down to.” Following their marriage, John and Pat had five children, three boys and two girls. John settled back into the Renmark community with Pat by working on his father’s fruit block. The pair also became involved with the Renmark West Primary School council and the local agricultural bureau, while John spent 40 years on the Renmark and District Show Society, many years with the RSL and on a citrus growers board. Sixty five years of marriage has passed quickly and as the saying goes, time flies when you are having fun. “It’s gone so quickly, I can’t keep up with it,” Pat said. “It’s terrific really.” One of the highlights of the couple’s marriage was travelling overseas in the early 1990s to some of the areas John and his fellow soldiers had been. The difference this time was John was not without his bride, she was right by his side.

WE WRITE with concern for the comments of the Southern Mallee District Council’s chief executive officer in your publication (August 4 – Council defends horror budget). As concerned ratepayers, we attended the council’s public consultation meeting regarding the draft budget and business plan. We believe all speakers expressed concern over council’s budget position and the use of its financial resources. We reject the chief executive officer’s claim that wasteful spending claims were not substantiated, by either verbal or written submissions. All speakers on that evening questioned council’s use of ratepayer funds. Issues raised included wage rises above CPI and their relationship to productivity gains, the requirement for discretionary spending of $600,000 on machinery replacement and the need for this council to be leading other councils in its asset renewal program, particularly in light of this council’s budgetary position. Most made the point that if business people were faced with mounting debt and the need to replace machinery or assets, they would forgo the expenditure in an effort to

eliminate the requirement to increase debt. We believe the verbal submissions presented, on the evening of July 20 demonstrated wasteful spending by this council and we challenge the chief executive officer to substantiate any claims to the contrary. Kevin O’Driscoll, Ian Farley, Jim Byrne, Corey Blacksell.

Backyard breeders I am happy that the topic of backyard breeding of dogs and cats has been brought up (Backyard breeders flaunt trust system – August 4), as some issues mentioned – such as the importance of veterinary checking – are very significant for the animals and for their new owners. On the other hand, it is very dangerous claiming that people could “make a quick buck” with backyard breeding. Most puppies advertised locally cost a mere $50 and most kittens are being given away for free – unless they are purebred or a refund of documented vet costs is requested. Breeding dogs and cats is very expensive: alone the additional feeding costs will easily exceed $50 per puppy or kitten, not counted in your time and effort for cleaning

and advertising. When talking of purebred or crossbred (not mixbred) puppies and kittens, also count in the cost for acquiring their purebred parents, complying with club rules (which include mandatory vet checks and vaccinations) etc. Therefore, such an animal will cost more than a mixbred one but still hardly ever give the breeder any profit. In summary, I wish to make clear that breeding your pet will only cost you money and cause a hell of a mess and trouble. In view of overfilled pounds and shelters which kill more than 200,000 healthy but no longer wanted dogs and cats in Australia every year, it should not be done at all. If someone breeds them, be it by accident, the breeder has the ethical duty to prepare them properly for life which includes socialisation, worming, flea prevention, vaccinations, desexing and microchipping. Most vets will give significant discounts if you bring them an entire litter plus parents - so leaving this task to the new owner, who will have to pay double the price. Romana Vlcek, Berri.

Grower exits on census record By BRAD PERRY

■ AWARD: LJ Hookers Berri principal Iris Williams (centre) with staff (from left) Bobbie Bland, Traci Owen, Sue Wurth and Michelle Jay and their major award. Photo: SUPPLIED

Win for Hookers team A LOCAL real estate agent has received high accolades at a recent statewide awards night. LJ Hooker Berri was awarded the Top Country Office at the real estate network’s Night of the Stars Awards held at the Hilton International, Adelaide. Principal of LJ Hooker Berri Iris Williams said it is a just reward for the efforts invested by her staff. “The award, which is based on overall office performance for a 12 month period, recognises consumer confidence in real estate outside capital cities and major metropolitan centres and is indicative of a buoyant local market,” she said. The local company, which has operated in the region for over three decades, has built a reputation for first rate customer service. “Being part of an international real estate network with over 700 offices around the world

and a website recognised as the leading single brand real estate website means we can globally market local properties to potential buyers,” Mrs Williams said. “I would like to thank the support of the Riverland community and the Riverland Weekly newspaper for being such a great advertising and marketing tool.” LJ Hooker chief executive officer L. Janusz Hooker said LJ Hooker Berri’s award represented local expertise, team professionalism and commitment to a local community. Mr Hooker said Mrs Williams is a member of the LJ Hooker 21 Club for over two decades of service to the company and she, as well as her team, deserve to be recognised for their efforts. “I congratulate Iris and her real estate team on their outstanding performance,” Mr Hooker said.

FIGURES obtained from Tuesday night’s nationwide census will reveal the extent of how many Riverland winegrape growers that have exited the industry since 2006. Riverland Winegrape Growers Association executive officer Chris Byrne said the census is likely to show the extent of the change in the local winegrape industry over the past five years. “We think that it’s likely the census will reveal there are less people who identify themselves as grapegrowers but it’s hard to distinguish between grapegrowers and, of course, citrus growers and stonefruit growers,” he said. “We know there were 176 who have taken the exit package, so we would expect probably a large proportion of them will be grapegrowers. “About four or five years ago we had 1305 (grape growers) and I anticipate that it will probably be around the 1100 mark or maybe less.” Mr Byrne said the statistics from the census will be useful for the industry in coming years. “It is helpful because it enables us to understand just what the size and the shape of our membership is, depending on how much of the census information we are able to get hold of,” he said. “It is helpful for us to know just how many people out there are classified as grapegrowers. “We have the numbers that

Worms make great pets Worms are the ideal new age pet – they take up very little room, they don’t smell unless they are ‘sick’, they are cheap to keep and they turn food scraps into garden or pot plant fertiliser.

“I think a lot of them have found other opportunities once they were relieved of the worry of trying to make it as a winegrape grower.” The Riverland winegrape industry is starting to slowly regain its feet, according to Mr Byrne. “We see quite a few positive signs,” he said.

It seems we are easing out of hard times, albeit export conditions are still very difficult. the change in demographics, Mr Byrne believes a large portion of the winegrape growers who exited remained in the region. “I think the majority who have taken the exit package have managed to stay in the region, which is very important for us as a region in terms of community,” he said.

“We’ve improved our crush last year quite significantly. “I think we were 16 to 18 per cent up on crush and value was up again by a couple of per cent. “It seems we are easing out of hard times, albeit export conditions are still very difficult, but as a region I think we’ve got a good reason to be optimistic.”

Did you know that worms are made almost entirely of water and breathe through their skins? Worms play a central role in organic waste recycling. Worms eatt organic matter and their droppings are known as castings. Worm castings contain nitrogen, phosphorus and other plant nutrients in a rich natural organic fertiliser which improves soil structure and drainage. Worm farms are the best way to recycle e kitchen and organic waste into natural fertiliser. They take up so little room they are even suitable for small backyards or units.

Make your own worm farm! Making your own farm is not such a difﬁcult task. Start with 1000 to 2000 worms. Use clean boxes made from wood, styrofoam or other plastic materials, with lids and: s s s s s s s

What kinds of worms? You’ll need compost earthworms, which go by such names as tiger worms red wrigglers and Indian blues. These can tolerate the rich conditions of worm farms. Ask your local ﬁshing and tackle, service station or pet supplier for the availability of these worms.

BMS TOURS AIRBOAT

ADVERTISING FEATURE

■ FUN ON THE WATER: BMS Tours’ new airboat is expected to be very popular with locals and visitors. The vessel is expected to attract interest from outside of the region, including famous entrepreneur Dick Smith, who recently took a ride on the airboat. Photos: SUPPLIED

Airboat set to wow region A

NEW attraction has hit the mighty River Murray in the Riverland and it is set to be a hit with both locals and tourists. Berri based businessman Brian Smith, who owns BMS Tours, recently purchased an airboat from Queensland and is looking forward to showing off the region’s surroundings in a way they have never been seen before. The eight seater craft named Elka is flat bottomed with a large propeller at the rear. Brian said purchased the boat because the concept is a new

tourist attraction for the region. “The airboat is something a bit different and it can go virtually anywhere on water and mud,” he said. As an experienced tour operator, Brian can guide the airboat through wetlands and backwaters, identifying the local wildlife and sharing his knowledge via a headphone system. With the River Murray recently reaching high levels, there is currently an abundance of wildlife and the airboat carefully cruises

next to flocks of birds and creeps up to kangaroos on the riverbank. The boat meets government regulations and is fully surveyed, with Brian and son Shane both fully licenced to drive the vessel. One of the benefits of the powerful airboat is its ability to cover just about any terrain and be able to explore many places regular boats cannot access. Being careful not to harm the local environment, Brian and Shane take the airboat cruises through reeds giving people a rare opportunity to look intimately at

nature’s surroundings. A cruise from Berri to Lock Four is picturesque, with beautiful sandy cliff faces a feature as the airboat manoeuvres around the river bend. While the Lock Four one hour trip is one of the main routes for the airboat, Brian said routes can be customised. In fact, the boat can be transported just about anywhere and placed in the water for a ride. For example, the airboat can cruise the waters, starting at Barmera, travelling to Kingston-

on-Murray and returning. Entrepreneur Dick Smith recently took a ride on the airboat and was grinning from ear to ear upon return to land. The airboat can be booked on demand for any time of the week and can be brought to your location on request. It is also available for government work, parties, barbecues, work functions or any special occasion. For more information or to book, phone Brian on 0408 282 300.

Urban art to add colour to Berri

■ RENEW: Tim Baulderstone is looking forward to rejuvenating the Berri community through art. Photo: JANE WILSON By CALLUM TRIFONOFF A COMMUNITY arts project, aimed at revitalising the shopping precinct of Berri, will kick off next month. A View To Renew was conceived by the Berri District Business Association, along with renowned artists Martin Corbin and Cindy South Czabania and is part of a long term vision to reinvigorate the Berri community. Lock 4 artist Tim Baulderstone will conduct a series of workshops, involving screen printing and sculpture and said the event, which runs until November, will address the art themes of the past, present and future.

“The project grew out of a lot of empty shops in the shopping precinct, the idea of rather than having them remain empty, they should get some community activity in them,” Mr Baulderstone said. A common art project, which has taken place in cities such as Newcastle, Mr Baulderstone said the program fits the Berri township, which is in need of a revamp, perfectly. “We’re trying to stimulate activity and civic pride by filling up empty shops,” he said. “It’s now come under the banner of the Berri centenary (celebrations). “That’s what I can

imagine, having a series of banners, using large, historical photographs on them.” Developed late last year, Mr Baulderstone said the revitalisation program was inspired by an urban theory. “There’s an urban theory called ‘The Broken Window Theory’ and it’s about people who see a broken window in a neighbourhood that’s been there for some time, they’re more inclined to dump rubbish there,” Mr Baulderstone said. “They get the feeling it’s a run down neighbourhood, so what we’re trying to do is the opposite of that. “We want to turn vacant shopfronts into a positive thing.”

Patronage boosts market future

Can we all be Masterchefs? HAVE you ever thought that modern reality shows like MasterChef could inspire somebody? That’s what some people hope will happen. Being a chef is a challenging job which requires patience and skill. A lot of the kids I know like being active and doing practical work. Some don’t fancy the idea of becoming an accountant or journalist, or whatever. I think having a career in cooking would appeal to many because it involves lots of practical work with a bit of creativity thrown in. On MasterChef you always see all these beautiful foods and complicated dishes. For people who like cooking, baking etc. this might somehow encourage them to take a bit more serious interest. When you think of cooking, what springs to mind? Baking, frying, melting, creaming, boiling, steaming, mixing, roasting…the list continues. People who enjoy cooking and are especially good at certain aspects can

By BRAD PERRY A STRONG showing at the Riverland Farmers’ Market in recent weeks means the local attraction will continue to operate on a weekly basis until at least the end of this year. After it was revealed Food Riverland Inc, which manages the Berri based market, ran at a loss for several months during the last financial year, numbers for the regular fixture have significantly increased. Food Riverland Inc acting chairperson Dave Benda said new stalls and interest have prompted the not-for-profit organisation to review its future at the end of the year, rather than earlier. “The trading figures for the stallholders have been pretty good and our breakfast bar has increased quite significantly in the past couple of months, which for us is good,” he said. “We did have a cut-off point for the financial year, where we thought we might have to make some serious decisions but now we are saying ‘all right, we will

spending.” There is still hope the Berri market can attract more stallholders to add to the two new ones in past weeks. “We are still sitting on that 15 or 16 (stalls) and we do really need to get it to that 20 mark but we’re just hoping with a bit of water around that maybe someone else will come out of the woodwork and start bringing some produce,” Mr Benda said.

Also, a special type of cuisine can be cooked. Some cuisines are Italian (yum - spaghetti), Japanese (sushi), Thai, Indian, Chinese and so on. People generally enjoy international flavoured restaurants. I don’t consider myself as an outstanding cook. One time my friend and I made a cake, which was supposed to be banana.

FAMILY FUN DAY

But we ran out of banana and had to use pineapple, resulting in the cake being critically burnt and severely undercooked. Most people can cook a few basic things. Big emphasis on basic. My limit is twominute noodles, beans on toast. The best I can do is microwave jacket-potatoes and cake. Well, that’s not anything to worry about, just yet. After all, we can’t all be MasterChefs can we?

Something for everyone at Pines fun day It is worth taking a trip to Loxton for so many reasons on Sunday, with the main street traders open from 10am to 4pm.

We’re inviting everyone to come to Loxton for the whole day.

■ STUNNING: The majestic Pines, Loxton’s historical house is the perfect backdrop for the family fun day. “There will be a kids’ corner, with lots of activities for the children. With entertainment from regular Pines performer Julie Noble and the Riverland Youth Theatre, the family fun day promises to be a cracker.

“We’re also involved in (Loxton) Chamber of Commerce because we’re members and it’s (holding) an open day where all the shops are open,” Mrs Woodberry said. “We’re inviting everyone to come to Loxton for the whole day and enjoy some retail therapy as well as some relaxation

at the Pines.” The fun day is the first of its kind to be held by the Pines and the historical village and Mrs Woodberry said if all goes well, there is no reason why it cannot continue in the future. “We’re hoping it’s the first of an annual event,” she said. “(The event is) an opportunity for the historical village and us (to work together)because we’re probably the main attractions between us in Loxton. “If we can work together and make it bigger and better, everybody benefits.” The Sunday Family Fun Day combined fundraiser will be held at the Pines from 11am to 5pm. Entry for adults is $5 while children are free. “(Adults) get a free cuppa so it only works out at about $2 per person,” Mrs Woodberry added.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can even find something better and you would get the added protection of booking with a travel agent because Travel Counsellors are a fully licensed AFTA agent and a member of the Travellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Compensation Fund,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can arrange car hire, cruises, flights, travel insurance, accommodation, foreign currency, visas and anything needed for your perfect holiday.â&#x20AC;? Ian said Fiji, Bali and

New Zealand are currently great, affordable choices to travel abroad, while the current value of the Aussie dollar means a trip to the United States has never been cheaper or better value for money. Earlybird packages for Canada and Alaska are currently available, with Europe to release early offers in the near future. Cruises are always popular with all age groups and with a continuing number of cruise ships coming to Australia every year, the around Australia and New Zealand cruises are extremely popular. If you are looking to travel in Australia, Ian said the Gold Coast is always in demand, as well as fly/drive packages in Tasmania, which is worth visiting.

Stunning family home This week’s Feature properties

Page

21 Section 7 statements relating to the properties will be available for viewing at the office of the Agent 3 business days prior to the Auction and at the place of Auction 30 minutes prior to the Auction commencing.

OCATED off a main road behind the neighbouring citrus, you will find a stone home on a freehold allotment of 2321m² (0.57acres). Walk inside and you will be greeted by a galley style kitchen with all modern appliances including Westinghouse electric oven with gas cooktop and rangehood and Simpson dishwasher. No trouble with storage in this kitchen with ample kitchens and walk-in-pantry (with its own light). Centrally positioned dining room, complete with polished Baltic pine floorboards is

the ideal location for entertaining guests or simply for family meal time. After tea, move into the lounge room to watch your favourite TV show and be kept warm by your choice of heating – Slow combustion heater, gas heating or ducted reverse cycle air conditioner. Main bedroom is located at the front of the home and has easy access to the bathroom and toilet. No more waiting for the correct water temperature in this home – the Rinnai Infinity gas hot water service with individual temperature control points available in the kitchen and

bathroom will take care of that. Once outside, there is generous storage options available with 11m x 6m carport with room for four individual parking areas, a smaller boat shed and another shed adjacent to the current Bar shed. In addition to the Bar shed, there are numerous outdoor entertaining options available. All of the above and more are available only one minute from the river and a primary school and five minutes to Waikerie. Take the time to have a look and be prepared to be surprised by a secluded family home.

NIGEL FIDDLER

Keeping a short and sharp eye on what’s happening around the Riverland and Mallee

AND ANOTHER THING...

Growsmart’s great success celebrated

■ PRESENTATION: 5RM’s Cheryl Lardner (left) and Michelle Dalby (second right), along with Mission Australia’s Karen Simpson present JC Irving’s Design & Print, Berri, Ian McLaren with his Employee of the Month award recently. Photo: SUPPLIED

Macca’s a winner CONGRATULATIONS to Ian McLaren, this month’s winner of the 5RM Mission Australia Employee of the Month. Mr McLaren, the manager of Irving Design & Print in Berri, has been recognised for his extremely good,

straight forward and no nonsense service. His nominator, Graham Redway, was very thankful for the work completed on an important and urgent job. Additionally, Mr Redway was very impressed by Mr

Mclaren’s efforts to go beyond what was expected by volunteering to sort his job for the post office and bulk mailing, whilst the folding was in progress. Great stuff, Macca! It’s definitely a reward well deserved.

GROWSMART Training enjoyed its 15th anniversary as a registered training organisation last month. The organisation has been instrumental in horticultural training, with a focus on production horticulture, ChemCert, chainsaw and other horticultural training. Growsmart manager John Chase is excited by the organisation’s achievements over that period of time, incluing the traineeships and diplomas it now facilitates. He is also delighted with the success of the Growsmart Careers in Science program run through senior schools. The celebration also featured presentations from Chris Bennett, an instigator of the organisation, and current chairman Geoff Ablett. The support of the Almond Board of Australia was also highlighted.

Berri service clubs combine THE Combined Service Clubs of Berri Annual Dinner was this year hosted by the Zonta Club of the Riverland Inc. It was held on August 2 at the Berri Resort Hotel. There was an excellent attendance of over 50 members of Lions, Rotary, Guides and Zontians with their partners and friends. Club presidents Allan Dand, of the Lions Club, Robyn Foley, Rotary, Marg Colby, Zonta, and guide leader Rosalie Richards, outlined their activities over the past year and shared future goals for both local community and international projects. Berri is definitely fortunate to have such service club support, involving people of a wide age range from children through to elderly members of the community. Berri and other Riverland towns are better places because of the work

manager Merilyn de Nys said applications are closing soon for funding through Country Arts SA’s 2011 Grant Programs. The funding supports regional artists to produce new and exciting works and encourages proposals for community arts projects as well as proposals from artists to work with groups to improve

The guest speaker for the evening was Jessica Swann of ABC 1062, who shared with us many of her experiences of living and working in the Middle East. Jessica worked in public relations and the media,

specifically in radio, for seven years in the Middle East. She was an entertaining speaker who outlined many interesting perspectives of what life can be like in Middle Eastern countries. Her presentation was enjoyed and appreciated by everyone present.

Musical pathways Lameroo Regional Community School has received funding for 2011 from MusicSA as part of the Contemporary Music Pathways program. Former student and now local teacher and performer Luke Hancock is working every week with the senior band students as they prepare a variety of pieces for their performance at the Adelaide Festival Theatre foyer concert.

The fuel efficient option L

OOKING for the perfect fuel saving products? Then look no further than Hiclone. Swirl control valves are used by the top vehicle brands in the world and the Hiclone fuel saving is the original of which many variants are now available. Alltype Discount Exhaust and Tyresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Peter Rullo said Hiclone always gives an excellent result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the new (Ford) Territories, the V8 Falcons and Commodores, get great results,â&#x20AC;? Peter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also done grape harvesters, stationary pumps and Kubota tractors, with above 10 per cent results in fuel use reduction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the biggest motor manufacturers in the world, Toyota, is using swirl control valves in its new Hilux and the European spec Landcruiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Toyota, Audi, Holden, Subaru and many others using swirl control valves in some of their models. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always excellent results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do your own research and look up â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;swirl control valvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the internet and see how many major manufactures are going for this type of air control in their modern vehicles for less pollution and better fuel economy.â&#x20AC;? The Hiclone fuel saving device gives the engine stronger air suction, thereby enhancing fuel economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stronger form of suction, just look at your strongest vacuum cleaners today, they are all cyclonic,â&#x20AC;? Peter said.

antee, to give people the ultimate confidence to try the product,â&#x20AC;? Peter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If for some reason you are not completely happy with the results with a three month period, per individual cars, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to give you 10 litres of free fuel, plus the entire amount of purchase price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy opportunity to do your bit for the environment whilst saving your family money, with results in the area of 100 kilometres per tank of fuel in a modern fuel injected car, or one to one, extra kilometres per litre on diesels and up to 20 per cent on gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The outlay of $170 per unit will pay for itself in no time.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x2013; SAVINGS: Alltype Discount Exhaust and Tyresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is putting its money where its mouth is, offering 10 litres of free fuel and all your money back within a three month period, per individual vehicle fitment recommendation. Peter Rullo can offer a way to save on fuel at the pump by installing Hiclone. The product uses swirl control valves (below right) to help cut petrol use, a method which is used in top vehicles across the world. Photos: CALLUM TRIFONOFF â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quickest wind speeds on earth are not in a straight line, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a tornado (form). â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you create a stronger suction, the engine sucks its air in stronger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think of the pointy base of a tornado, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a valve inside the engine which the gasses pass over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It) gets past the valve a lot quicker and travels down the cylinder a lot further in that split second of combustion, whereas when the air comes in a straight vein, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not

travelling as fast.â&#x20AC;? Most vehicles will run smoothly with Hiclone products, according to Peter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All vehicles will produce more power and run smoother once fitted with the Hiclone,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The computer will need time to re-map itself after accepting the new signals that come from external sensors, which sense the difference in the combustion process and send new signals to the computer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In diesels, it is quite simply

All vehicles will produce more power and run smoother once fitted with Hiclone.

using more of the fuel that would normally be turned into smoke or pollution.â&#x20AC;? For over 20 years, Hiclone has been an efficient fuel saving choice for motorists and is the only one of its kind to be copied by car manufacturers. Hiclone is a non-wearing part, which will never need replacement or maintenance and does not harm new car warranties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been selling it for over five years with a six month, unconditional, money back guar-

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

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

Keke’s on the right road ■ IN THE early days of this column, I wrote about a young Loxton kart champion, Keke Falland, who had gone off to Warrick, Queensland, to pursue a diploma to give him a better chance of realising his ambition to gain a position on one of the nation’s motorsport teams. Keke gained his motorsport diploma but his achievement coincided with an economic downturn that limited opportunities for positions with organisations within the sport, so he returned home to resume work as a motor mechanic and to continue his successful kart career. While not finding a team position in some capacity was disappointing at the time, Keke, now 24, accepts that missing out on such an opportunity has probably done him a favour. He now realises he was born to drive and his position in motorsport is behind the wheel. In karts, Keke has been Australia One in the speedway category and SA One on many occasions on dirt. He still keeps his hand in with karts and is an active member of

■ CHAMP: Loxton kart star Keke Falland could be on the right track to finding his dream of getting a position with a top motorsport team. Photo: SUPPLIED the Loxton Kart Club but since 2009-10, his main attention has been directed to car number 17 in wingless sprints. In his first season he was named rookie of the year and took out the best presented car and crew award for both Australia and SA. Then in season 2010-11, he stepped up even further. He finished second to Todd

Wigzell over nine rounds, held across SA in the state series, was track champion at Murray Bridge and, despite some bad luck at Adelaide meetings, finished third in the same award there. However, the highlight of the season was at the Australian titles in Brisbane when amongst 80 topline vehicles, he was the fastest in practice and looked capable of do-

ing something really special. In the first race Falland surged from eighth place to finish sixth before winning the next event. Then the Queensland weather intervened and heavy rain resulted in officials cancelling the meeting, perhaps prematurely in some people’s eyes. Despite no Australian prize for 2010-11, Keke still retained his title for best presented car and crew in SA. You really have to admire the professionalism of the Falland team in everything they do. Recently, they held a function at the Loxton Kart Club to display their car and trophies and to thank all of their crew, sponsors and supporters for their contributions during another successful season. The dedicated crew consists of Keke’s parents Steve and Julie, Lauren Meissner and Dean and Bradley Hembling. So where does Keke Falland, the driver, go from here? Steve tells a story about the time he was driving with a very young Keke, when he asked his son what he wanted to do when

he grew up? “I just want to be a sprint car driver,” came the reply, to which Steve went on to explain that for that to happen, “Mum and Dad will have to sell the house, the car and probably a lot of other things as well”.

He now realises he was born to drive and his position in motorsport is behind the wheel.

At one time Keke Falland wanted to go as far as he could in motorsport in any capacity available. Now he has committed to a career as a driver but the passion to go to the highest possible level is as strong as ever. Who knows then, today wingless sprints, tomorrow 360 sprint cars and more, perhaps?

Call of Fame Semi-final berth for hockey stars for Riverland ■ A FEW Saturdays ago on 5RM’s Sports Program, my co-host Trevor Scott and I, in our weekly segment talking to local personalities Trevor ‘Nobby’ Norton and Les ’Lester’ Lange, got into some serious chat about establishing a Sporting Hall of Fame in the Riverland. We highlighted the large number of possible subjects and relevant memorabilia that could be available for such a display. If done properly, it could provide enjoyment for our locals and perhaps, more importantly, have the potential to be a major attraction to visitors to our area. We all agreed boosting tourism has to be one of the Riverland’s big aims and, surely, in trying to find attractions in the region, we should concentrate on our strengths. Sport has certainly proven to be one of those. We also acknowledged the enormous amount of work that would be involved in assembling such a display, the volunteers required, funding and probably the difficulty of getting all our communities to think and act as one on such a project, including agreeing on a suitable site for the Hall. The subject was again raised last Saturday morning when we suggested, tongues in cheeks, that our councils buy the old 5RM building that is to be sold on Berri’s Vaughan Terrace so that our confident prediction that a Riverland Sports Hall of Fame could become a major tourist attraction, could be tested. It was fun for a brief

■ GOLFER: Anne Marie Knight. Photo: INTERNET time spending someone else’s money. Seriously though, while such a venture may be beyond our capabilities, there can be no denying there are countless Riverland sports people, past and present and, no doubt, future worthy of being permanently acknowledged in some way in our midst. With that in mind, should we at least start a Call of Fame so that there is a permanent register of our many people have excelled in various sports at top level? Of course there would have to be a criteria for the list, or else it could be so extensive any eventual display could involve acquiring something like the old Fletcher’s Building in Berri. Who knows, if a Hall of Fame is beyond us, a Call of Fame could at least lead to a Wall of Fame somewhere. Names like Sophie Edington, Grant Schubert, Hayden Stoeckel, Luke Prokopec, Audrey Hefford, Mark Ricciuto, Russell Ebert, Ric Darling, Malcolm Jinks, Paul Kassebaum and AnneMarie Knight are not a bad start are they?

■ BERRI’S Brett Stokes confirmed during last week’s national country hockey championships in Port Lincoln that he had accepted an offer to travel to Malaysia and Thailand next year as an assistant to Rob Laffin, the coach of the senior men’s Australian Country team. This will be the third tour of its type to that region. Brett was named in the initial squad as a player in 2008 and there was another visit in 2009. “Normally the team has played against universities and under age national teams,” Brett said. “With the Olympics only six months away, this time it will be interesting to see whether any teams preparing for London line up for a game.” Stokes was in Port Lincoln in charge of the SA men’s team playing in the Australian Country Championships and is pleased the state is making real progress at that level. “It shows the program is working,” he said. “With the secret to improvement, keeping a core of young players together from year to year.” SA reached the semi-finals for the first time since 1998 and had its first victories in the championships since 2007, defeating Australian Defence Forces 8-6 and Victoria 3-1. “That was our aim,” he said. “To beat those two sides and to be competitive against the big three, Queensland, NSW and WA”. SA lost its semi-final to Queensland 5-0 but Brett considers that scoreline did not tell the true story of the contest, saying he took some risks in an effort to win the game and that had probably cost the team in the end. In a play-off for third and fourth, SA went down to WA 3-0. Brett was surprised at the grand final being so close, with Queensland defeated NSW 4-3 with a golden goal in extra time. “In earlier games, WA defeated NSW 4-2 but Queensland looked a class above everyone else when they won 7-3 against WA,” he said. “Even though NSW reversed the result against WA to win 3-2 in the semis, it looked like Queensland would cruise to the title but to NSW’s credit that did not happen.” Stokes feels that finishing fourth is probably a true indication of where his team is at right now.

■ IN CHARGE: Berri’s Brett Stokes coached the SA men’s hockey team at the Australian Country Championships in Port Lincoln last week and next year will be assistant coach of the men’s Australian Country team, while (inset) Loxton’s Sean Burgess (left) was an impressive performer for SA Country at the titles. “We must now try to be even more competitive against the top three sides and push for a grand final spot,” he said. “Our improvement is being noticed with a number of former team members driving over to see our new look combination in action.” Team spirit was high, with over 30 people turning up at a special family party held on the rest day. Loxton’s Sean Burgess had his parents Louise and Mark and his grand-

work, including cooking the barbecue.” Sean Burgess, 16, and his Loxton clubmate Steven ‘Mango’ Trezise, 19, were Riverland representatives in the team. Of Sean, Stokes said, “he did brilliantly and now knows the level he needs to get to. “His work ethic was exceptional and he gained the respect of not only his team-mates but some wary opponents as well”. “’Mango’ was our workhorse,” he

A calm head, he stood up to be counted with a really solid commitment. mother from South Africa there as his guests, while having a local, Lincoln’s Jim Stockham, in the team, certainly had its benefits. “Jim’s extended family turned up,” Brett explains. “We supplied the basic food but his people brought oysters, tuna steaks, the lighting and did most of the

added. “A calm head, he stood up to be counted with a really solid commitment. “Towards the end I saw him grimacing in pain as shin splints set in but his determination kept him going—inspirational.”

Thursday August 11, 2011 – Riverland Weekly • 27 I think right now if we look at it, we’re slightly off the pace. ~ Australian Olympic team boss Nick Green.

Lift champs outstanding success ■ THE National Drug Free Powerlifting Championships held at the Renmark Club last Saturday have been deemed an outstanding success from all quarters. Visitors from interstate have declared the venue and the event ‘the best ever’ and are looking to return here for more competitions of the type and also to include the Riverland in their future holiday plans. A crowd up to 150 in number watched the event and 110 attended the presentation dinner at the club after the competition. Riverland lifters were amongst the top performers in the lifts, including newcomers to the sport in Loxton’s Fran Marlor (two state, two national and two world records), Glossop’s Dee Stocker (one national) and Berri’s Andrew Norris (two state and one national). Gale Fiebig (Glossop) took out one world record, while Winkie’s Sheryl Rapson produced two, two, two in a top performance. Australian representative, Barmera’s Rose Gow, took an illness into the championships and, although well below her best, still finished first in both equipped squat and deadlift and second in equipped bench. A total of 29 lifters took part, setting 20 state, 25 national and 12 world records Heaviest deadlift (276 kg) and bench press (160 kg) went to Nathan Shepherd (Victoria) and heaviest squat (190 kg) to John Clow (Vic).

The number of minutes Alexander Hill’s crew took to row 2000 metres at the junior world championships.

Trophy not Barmera’s just yet

Colourful way to raise funds ■ FOR THE third season in a row, local football, netball, hockey and soccer clubs are this weekend embracing a special fundraiser to aid research into breast cancer. Donations can be made at game venues right across the region as organisers aim to add to the $13,000 raised over 2009 and 2010. One of the those involved in the appeal since its inception, Riverland Premier Sports’ Matthew ‘Doc’ Clifford said, “we have donated some $1500 worth of balls and other promotional material to the various associations again this year to be distributed as they see fit”. “We are asking people to

again dig as deep as they can to help this extremely worthy cause – collection buckets will be at the various ovals.” Previously labeled the ‘Pink Weekend’, the 2011 campaign has been titled the ‘Pink and Purple Weekend’ due to a change in the distribution of proceeds. “We want all of the money to go towards actually working on finding a treatment for this illness,” Clifford said, “so 20 per cent will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation this year, with 80 per cent going to the local Living To Beat Cancer Group,” Doc said. “Operated by Riverland ladies Kerry Woolston and Cindy

Najar, Living To Beat Cancer has raised over $340,000 in its 10 years and its colour has been purple, hence the change”. NBCF merchandise is on sale leading up to the weekend at Riverland Premier Sports stores at Berri and Renmark, with total proceeds going to the foundation. Both of the stores also have on sale pink and purple t-shirts and polo shirts for those that want to get into the spirit of the weekend, with part proceeds being donated towards the fundraiser. “It would be great to think we could boost the amount raised over the three years to the $20,000 mark,” added Doc.

Footy season twisting and turning ■ I DIDN’T receive my regular Monday morning email from my ‘From The Ute’ tipsters this week. You see I had already received a telephone call from Mrs FTU straight after Saturday’s matches to tell me they would not be involving themselves in A grade football in this way any more. It had nothing to do with the fact they had joined a number of other tipsters in a 0-3 result from the day’s extraordinary round of matches. To comprehend their decision, you have to understand that Mr and Mrs FTU are from a very rare breed indeed. Sure they live in a small farming community and support their

local team but above all else, they just love football and have been accustomed to heading the Hilux to a game or even games that appealed each weekend. Unfortunately, their choice on Saturday was a poor one, as reports from the three A grade grounds as far as the much publicised behaviour towards umpires issue was concerned, went two exceptionally good, the other not so. They were obviously at the wrong one, as unfortunately Mrs FTU just happened to witness someone digging deep into their vocabulary again to offend. All I am going to say on the situation is that from the details she

gave me, the confirming information I have received from a number of sources since and with reference to the supposedly problem solving Code Of Conduct announced last week, there is only one word to describe this incident - unbelievable. Gee it is a pity so much space is being wasted on this issue throughout our media, when we should be singing the praises of perhaps one of our most exciting competitions on record. Without FTU’s input, I can only report that in the Mallee, Peake has jumped into fourth spot above Karoonda and Murrayville has gained double chance territory from Lameroo but in the

last, surely script written, minor round games this Saturday, that could all change. Here in the Riverland, Paringa, Lyrup, Blanchetown-Swan Reach and Ramco in the Independents look likely finalists but East Murray remain in the picture, while in the A grade, Loxton North and Barmera-Monash are safe but Waikerie and Berri can still not take out a mortgage on the last two spots as pressure mounts from Loxton and Renmark. After the results of last weekend, who would be game enough to predict there will not be any further twists in the tail in the remainder of the remarkable 2011 season?

In their heat, the Australians finished 0.65 seconds behind the winners Italy after leading the field for three quarters of the race. Then in the final, the crew gradually increased their lead to five seconds with 500 metres to go and then held off the two heat winners New Zealand and Italy

to grab gold. I am not an authority on rowing but was surprised at the difference in times given for the Australian crew between the heat and final. 6 minutes 48.33 seconds down to 6.21.79 for 2000 metres is a big improvement. Alexander was already being hailed as a rower of the future prior to this event and here he

has taken another huge step towards top level. We keep on saying it, we may have been short of water but there must be something in the bit we had. Only a couple of weeks ago we were celebrating a Wimbledon junior singles tennis title for former Cobdogla player Luke Saville, now we have a young world champion rower as well.

■ HOLD the trophy engraving! After seemingly cruising undefeated towards back-to-back senior men’s soccer league premierships, Barmera Dev Estates are not completely over the line just yet. Renmark Olympic inflicted the second defeat on the reigning champions in as many weeks at Renmark last Sunday. Olympic’s first half was sensational, seemingly more hungry for the ball, intense and with blistering pace, it blasted itself to a 5-0 lead at half time, with two goals each to Wannes Ooms and Kyle Collinson. However, champions they are, the Barmera side came back and threw everything at Renmark, who should probably be thankful there was not a grandstand. Anthony Ielasi, two goals, and Luke Ireland led the fightback and if it had not been for the heroics of Olympic goalkeeper Nick Rassias, the final score could have been closer than 5-3. Best for Olympic were Bari Sahota and Jaskarn Bacra, as the highly improved unit kept its faint hopes of the title alive. Dev Estates are well and truly still in the box seat, however, and only need a point from this Sunday’s game against Barmera Gold to clinch the title. In last weekend’s other game Berri River Rangers, best served by young keeper James Bucon and first gamer Mitchell Knight, defeated Barmera Gold (John Giaghias, Kosta Zois) 5-1. Games are at Berri on Sunday, with Renmark playing Loxton, plus that Barmera derby.

Race for the four heats up By CALLUM TRIFONOFF IT IS MAKE or break for two RFL sides this week, in what is becoming one of the most thrilling races to the finals for a long time. In a very close season, which has been full of upsets and nail-biting games, it is time for Renmark and Loxton to prove they deserve a spot in the final four. Renmark faces leader Loxton North and Loxton takes on current fourth-placed side Berri this week and both would fancy themselves a chance of getting closer to the pivotal fourth spot. Only one could possibly progress but even if they win their games, other results need to go their way. Renmark has been close to Loxton North on both occasions, finishing within two goals and coach Brett Blackwell feels his side can pull off an upset. “I see that we've got a chance but it's really we just (need to) keep winning and see how the other games pan out,” Blackwell said. “If we're the unlucky side and don't make the finals with six or seven wins, we can look back at a few close results and say 'well, that's why'.

“In both games, we've been within three goals, a bit of inaccuracy from our way has cost us the game. “We've had a lot of the ball and we're playing good enough football when we've played them but we've gone down in close games.” Renmark will have Craig Seekamp up forward, who, according to Blackwell, plays well against the Panthers. “He had to play in the ruck in the times we played Loxton North,” he said. “He's played well but he hasn't played up forward. “Nathan Farr, Ryan Bennett, Peter Dempsey and Brett Wakefield have been great for us as well.” Renmark will play Barmera-Monash in the final round, another tough assignment. For Loxton to progress, it gets to take a slightly easier route than Renmark to play finals. Playing reigning premier Berri this week and topsy-turvy Waikerie in the last two rounds, Loxton coach Mark Wright can be confident his side has the ability to play finals. However, it needs to win both games and results still need to go its way.

Netball correction IN LAST week’s Riverland Weekly, our lead up to finals preview for Riverland netball incorrectly stated Vicki Mules is coach of Loxton North’s A1 netball team.

In fact, Kylie Wooldridge has recently taken over that role from Mules. We apologise for any confusion caused. ASSET MANAGERS AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS PROPERTY AND BUSINESS SALES

New courts for North By CALLUM TRIFONOFF RIVERLAND netball is set for one of the sport's biggest changes in many years when Loxton North gets it courts up and running next season. Work on the project, at Panther Park, is currently under way and will be completed at the end of next month. With the Loxton North Netball Club having to play its home games at the Loxton stadium in the past, the four new courts, including one indoors, will allow the club to host all of its games at Panther Park and president Michelle Hill said it is a long time

coming. “This has been on the drawing board for about 16 or 17 years,” Mrs Hill said. “All four courts will be able to host all of our games now so that is great for the club.” Mrs Hill believes the courts will benefit the Loxton North Sports Club as a whole, not just the netball club. “It will help bring together that Loxton North atmosphere, when everyone comes for the football and netball,” she said. “If you've got everyone at football and netball, it will help to make Saturdays good family days.

“The courts aren't just great for netball, the sports club needs people hanging around that little bit longer and not going home early. “I think the new courts will help to do this.” With one court sheltered under a verandah, Loxton North will be the fifth Riverland club, after Renmark, Loxton Barmera and Waikerie, to host undercover games. “I think we really are lucky to have the courts,” Mrs Hill said. “Having those two new courts there will give Loxton North a better look as a netball club.”

STARRING as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;adorableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Columbia in Time Warp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Musical Tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of performer Anna Burgessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favourite roles. The high-pitched, energetic character is a crowd favourite and Anna said it is entertaining to act as the loveable Columbia.

Wednesday 17th

THE cast of Time Warp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Musical Tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show always love coming to Renmark and, this Saturday, will get to entertain those in attendance with the best the show has to offer. Performer Anna Burgess, who plays Columbia in the show, spoke to the Riverland Weekly and gave her views on what locals can expect during the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, so the audiences can expect to see everything they see in the film,â&#x20AC;? Anna said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got every one of your favourite songs and anthems.â&#x20AC;? Time Warp is famous for being a show where the characters â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;break the fourth wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and interact with the audience. Anna said it makes the show that little bit more personal and fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit different to the productions in the big city because we make it about the audience,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So get ready for a little bit of a chat with us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? Anna has been performing for 13 years and said the Time Warp production has been one of her favourites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good about this one is you really get to meet people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the time (in other shows), thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the performer and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the audience, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no real connection between the two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Time Warp, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to make it a little more personal than normal.â&#x20AC;? You can catch Anna and the rest of the cast of Time Warp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Musical Tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Chaffey Theatre this Saturday from 8pm. For tickets, phone 8586 1800.
