RFL GRAND FINAL

Williams seeks fairytale end WHEN the siren blows to signal the start of the Riverland Football League grand final this weekend, Loxton North will be playing for more than just a premiership. The Panthers will be sending off one of its favourite sons in Brad Williams, who is bowing out of the game after almost a quarter of a century. “I’ve played footy for a long time and people say you know when your time is up and when it is time to move on and do something else and I feel like that’s it for me,” he said. “I am really excited to get another chance (at a premiership) because at the start of the season I probably didn’t think we were going to get there. “I’m sure that every person who plays football would like to finish with a premiership but sadly, not many people get the opportunity to.” The two time premiership player tasted defeat in 2006 and said he does not want to relive the losing feeling again. “It was my first grand final loss (in 2006) and it was certainly a bitter pill to swallow and I don’t want to experience that again,” he said. “The feeling (about this week’s game) is probably the same (as 2006) (but) maybe a little bit different this year as we are a younger team. “There is not the experience in terms of playing in grand finals.”

REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY However, playing in a young, exciting team has been a valuable experience for Williams. “As a player, I’m in the older group now, so from a personal perspective, I have taken on more of a leadership role and I try and help, talk, guide and support the younger players.

I am really excited to get another chance (at a premiership).

“Before the game on Saturday I will just try to be pretty lighthearted and those who are looking pretty anxious, (I will) just (try) getting their mind off of football too early before the game. “Once the ball is bounced then you take on another role as an older player who has already played in a grand final.” Williams has overcome injuries this season but he said he is feeling 100 per cent fit and ready to go in

Photos: FILE the grand final. “I feel really good,” he said. “I’ve been able to get a fair bit of training in over the past couple of weeks and it’s just a matter of getting myself right for the finals. “You’d give your spot to someone else who was 100 per cent fit if

you couldn’t play your role.” Win or lose against Waikerie, Williams said he will reflect on a career which has offered so much. “I’ve been playing football since I was five,” he said. “I started mini-league and worked my way up and for 25 years

it has been a large part of my life and to stop, I will miss it. “I’ve created a lot of friendships not just from Loxton North but with people from other clubs as well and you meet a lot of people you wouldn’t get the opportunity to if you weren’t playing footy.”

Forward gets dream second chance By BRAD PERRY GEORDIE Franks lives and breathes football. It is no wonder that when he found himself on the outer of Berri's A grade during its premiership run last year, he felt devastated. “The biggest thing in my life is football,” he said. “Don't get me wrong, it was good to see the (Berri) boys win but just missing out on something you moved up here to do...was really heartbreaking.” Twelve months on and s s e n i s u b l l a m for sJoin GPA and invigorate you Franks (pictured) is lining s n F o i i n t a u l n o c s i l a 7 Riverview Drive BERRI up for Loxton North, as the P 8582 2311 F 8582 3224 130 Renmark Ave 7 Riverview Drive competition's leading goalAnd now visiting 130 Renmark Ave RENMARK RENMARK BERRI kicker, in a grand final.

Franks said he will have no regrets. “It (the grand final) came a lot quicker than what I expected but I knew North is a good club and they are going in the right

direction,” he said. “A few weeks after the grand final last year, I set out in the pre-season to try and lose a bit of weight and I have worked so hard to get to where I am.

“Hopefully we can get there (and win), it would mean so much.” Franks has been the main target up forward for the Panthers this season after crossing from the Demons and has plans for a big future at the club. “They've opened up the space for me and with players like Browny (Nathan Brown) and Timmy Arnold down there, it is just amazing,” he said. After Loxton North struggled in past seasons, 2011 has been a consistent year at the top of the ladder. “It's what we want to do, to play in a grand final but to actually achieve is a completely different thing,” Franks said.

Caica’s Hogwash plan MINISTER for Environment and Conservation Paul Caica visited the Riverland yesterday to help with the protection of several endangered South Australian animals. Mr Caica marked the proclamation of the Hogwash Bend Conservation Park which will protect the eastern regent parrot, as well as other threatened wildlife. The State and Federal Government had worked with local governments, landowners and community groups to aquire 286 hectares of land at Hogwash Bend, to create the new park. “This year, we mark the day by celebrating the collaborative work that has taken place to ensure the eastern regent parrot and other threatened species don’t go the same way as the Tasmanian tiger,” Mr Caica said.

Where to now for waste site? THIS week’s somewhat unexpected decision by the Berri Barmera Council to withdraw any support for the Riverland Regional Waste Management Facility, to be constructed in Monash, takes all plans back to square one. With Environment Protection Authority’s deadlines for landfill closures looming, councils will now have to look for short term options to store waste, potentially at the cost of ratepayers. In the meantime, the region must now either find the money to transport waste to a facility outside the area or go through another possibly lengthy process to establish another site. For me, either option appears a long way off. The only winner from this situation appears to be kerbside recycling. To reduce the cost of transporting or storing waste, all Riverland councils will now surely be looking at picking up recycling from your home. Before moving to the Riverland, I participated in kerbside recycling and can only see its inclusion here as beneficial. If a decision is made to establish a facility at a new site, will the chosen Riverland town show as much dismay as the Monash residents? Only time will tell.

EVERY Riverlander would acknowledge the strong will shown by the Waikerie community in the wake of the hotel motel fire. Just the suggestion of parts of the establishment re-opening in weeks is a credit to the staff and the local community. It is the hard times where communities shine and Waikerie has certainly been through that of late. I take my hat off to you in Waikerie and hope the hotel motel is back on its feet as soon as possible.

Daryl snags a double FOR the second time in three years, Muller’s Meat Store has come away with first prize at the South Australian National Sausage King Competition. Store owner Daryl Muller won two first places for his lamb curry and cheese and bacon sausages at the 2011 Australian Meat Industry Council Awards ceremony. After a second place with the cheese and bacon last year, Mr Muller is thrilled to be back on the winners’ list. “The lamb curry was entered into the lamb open class, we added a bit of fruit

chutney with it,” he said. “The cheese and bacon, that was the open gourmet class, it’s a mixture of meat. “We put in a bit of special cheese and our own diced bacon and it comes up to being a pretty good sausage.” Mr Muller will also take part in the nationals next year and is hoping his snags will be winners. “We got a third in the national leg in 2009, I’d like to think we’re in with a chance when the nationals are held early ■ WINNER: Muller’s Meat Store owner Daryl Muller.

Fire impacts economy

■ SHOCK: Residents look on in shock at the damage caused to Waikerie’s historic hotel. Photos: EMMA CAIN

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF AND BRAD PERRY A DEVESTATING fire which ripped through the Waikerie Hotel Motel at the weekend, causing millions of dollars in damage, will impact on the local economy during one of its busiest periods. On the eve of celebrating its centenary, an electrical fault is believed to have sparked a blaze in the hotel motel, tearing through the heart of the popular establishment. People who were planning to attend century celebrations and those who had booked accommodation were left stranded. However, the resilient community has rallied behind the hotel motel to offer any help it can, with businesses taking on patrons planning to stay at the venue to keep money generating through Waikerie. Hotel board chairman Graeme Thompson said the hotel was just about to enter an “extremely busy period”. “We were just entering an extremely busy period, so we’ve got a lot of golfers and people who booked in to stay at the hotel,” Mr Thompson said. “It’s been very disruptive. “We believe the portion of the hotel that remains, which is the dining and the accommodation, that’s all being recleaned. “Most of that original area with the exception of the bottle shop area, should be able to trade as early as next week.” Riverland West Chamber of

Commerce secretary John Sullivan said it is inveitable the town will lose foot traffic due to the fire but he said the community is rallying around the hotel motel so it can re-open as quick as possible. “The town will do what it can to get it going,” he said. “It was so close to its centenary and we expected there to be football presentations there too this weekend. “I think we’ll (the town) definitely lose money from cancellations.

The sooner (the hotel motel re-opens), the better for morale.

“The sooner (the hotel motel re-opens), the better for morale, as well as to spread the (tourist) money around.” Hotel manager Andrew Tyson said he has been inspired by the community support. “The Waikerie Hotel Motel will be open for business, it’s not fallen to the ground, contrary to many rumours and reports and we will be back operating as soon as we possibly can,” he said. “We’re working very, very hard to get the gaming area, the bistro bar and the dining room back online as soon as

possible. “The community has offered help from all different avenues. “It’s very, very good to see.” Fire crews from across the Riverland battled the flames for over two hours and Mid-Murray Country Fire Service group officer Mike Arnold said putting out the fire was a team effort. “When you see a building on fire like that, the first thing you do is stop it spreading, which they did,” Mr Arnold said. “They concentrated on protecting the rest of the hotel and by doing that, they saved part of the hotel. “The fire boys really did an excellent job. “We’re a small group, we work together quite often and that made it easier.”

Community rallies behind Waikerie Hotel Motel AMONG the charred ashes of the Waikerie Hotel Motel lies the history of the Waikerie Rotary Club. The group stored all of its goods and memorabilia at the hotel, where it held its regular meetings. Many of the items engulfed by the fire are irreplaceable, according to president Maureen Sullivan. Over 25 years of history including badges, banners, technology, records and memorabilia were all lost in the blaze. Given the great spirit in Waikerie, the club has already received donations from community organisations in Waikerie. “Yes, there’s been a fire but we’ll cope and life goes on,” Mrs Sullivan said. Local community member Nathan Tape said the town will get behind the hotel in any way it can. “The football club will get behind them as well because they’ve been such good sponsors for such a long time and they help out whenever they can,” Mr Tape said. David Gwynne believes the hotel will come back bigger and better after reconstruction. “(Waikerie has) had four deaths down here in the past five weeks, which hasn’t helped the town but like most country towns, (the people of) Waikerie will get behind the hotel and do anything they can,” Mr Gwynne said.

■ DAMAGE: A large amount of damage was left by the fire which ripped through the Waikerie Hotel Motel at the weekend.

is a great way to bring together local grapes and those from outside of the region. “It’s good to compare apples with apples,” he said. “Those wines are very strong, there’s a few very strong fortifieds coming in.” Committee member Eric Semmler said despite wine entries being slightly lower this year, the build-up to the show is still running smoothly. “They’re only slightly lower... but we’re not too concerned about that all,” Mr Semmler said. “It’s always an aim to build the show and that’s ongoing for the wine committee. “That can be the inclusion of different classes or attracting new producers to also exhibit their wines.” The show has seen entries from as far as Riverina, Mildura and Sunraysia, as well as plenty of Riverland wines. The Riverland Wine Show public tasting will take place at the Renmark Hotel from 6pm on September 14.

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF WITH the Riverland Wine Show fast approaching, judges have tested the best wines from around South Australia and Victoria and are impressed with what they have seen. McLaren Vale judge Mike Farmilo always loves making the trip to the Riverland for one of the state’s best known wine exhibits. Mr Farmilo has been highly impressed with the quality of a number of fortified wines and and brandies up for judging. “There’s not many shows where you can see all of these magnificent wines,” he said. Show committee chairman Paul Kernich said the drought has benefited wine grapes, especially red. “The 2010 shiraz looked quite strong,” Mr Kernich said. “This year we brought out a few more aromatic varieties because of all the rain was good for whites. “It’s good quality overall.” Mr Kernich believes the show

During a Riverland Regional Waste Management Facility Committee meeting on Tuesday, it was decided the next step would be to assess whether waste can be transported to a facility outside the region. Committee secretary Paul Day said the December 2012 deadline for existing landfills to close and the new facility to be operational will not be met. “We want to do a study into the cost of transporting the waste out of the region opposed to building the regional facility,” Mr Day said. “There was some work done about five years ago but we just want to make sure the figures are still relevant before we go ahead down the path again. “December 2012 definitely won’t be met (and) all councils are working on other options for their waste in the short term but still the focus is long term and regional.” Mr Day said a consultant will be engaged in the “next week or so” to assess whether transporting waste to a facility outside the region is more viable than looking at another Riverland site to dispose of rubbish. “We’d be hoping to be able to take recyclables out

of the waste stream and so introduce a kerbside (recycling program) and then have somewhere to dispose of the recyclables locally,” he said. “Therefore, we are only left with half the amount of waste to take out of the area. “It won’t be an expensive exercise (to do the study). “It will be a reasonably cost effective exercise and we want to have a document that (says) it is going to cost ‘x’ dollars to transport and ‘x’ dollars to build a facility and run it.”

We want to do a study into the cost of transporting waste out of the region.

Constructing a waste facility in the region at a newly selected site is still a looming possibility dependent on the results of the study, according to Mr Day. “If the report says it is going to cost you $3 million per year to take it out and it’s going to cost you one million a year to run a facility over 100 years, it makes sense to build a facility so then we would

start looking at site selection,” he said. “If we are going to build a regional facility, the EPA have some guidelines on how to select a site. “(There are) a number of steps and some of those include once you’ve picked all the criteria that the site has to meet, you advertise. “You go out to the community and say ‘if you’ve got a site that meets all these things, let us know’. “Through that process that (Loxton) site may come back into the mix.” Mounting community pressure, issues with composting at the Monash site and adjacent conservation park problems, all contributed to a decision not to go ahead with the plans. “Unfortunately, a lot of these types of issues that have come up recently don’t come up until you get into a process like this,” he said. “We always said this is the preferred site but it is not set in stone. “It is all these things adding up, so it doesn’t really feel like we’ve wasted a lot of time because a lot of the work we’ve done as far as design and getting a landfill environmental management plan, are documents that can go anywhere with a little bit of tweaking.”

More exhibits for Field Days A GROWING reliance on exhibitors from outside the region has seen the Riverland Field Days continue to be the region’s premier event. With more than half of this year’s exhibitors coming from outside the region to attend the two day event, Riverland Field Days Committee secretary Tim Grieger said attracting external businesses is the only way to meet the size requirements of the event. “That’s the direction it’s heading,” he said. Mr Grieger said exhibitors from South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia will attend this year’s Field Days beginning on Wednesday. He said the interest and contribution from businesses outside the region has been steadily increasing over the years. “You present a field day structure according to the demand and requirement and the businesses that are there and it expands according to that,” Mr Grieger said. “It is seen as an event that has the market capture of a broad area.

REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY “The public visitors come not just from this region but adjacent regions as well and that’s increasing.” A record number of attendees are expected to front for this year’s Riverland Field Days and Mr Grieger said many local businesses continue to provide support, despite tough economic times.

It is seen as an event that has the market capture of a broad area.

“The region certainly is finding it tough but I think the Field Days are part of the local businesses’ marketing strategy and they are there to be involved and to promote their business,” he said. “The whole process is

well known now and the marketing value is known and the local businesses are only too keen to be involved and the support is very strong. “I think it reflects the fact of what the Field Days does to promote the region.” The Field Days’ date will not change next year, despite its proximity to the Royal Adelaide Show. “I think most businesses that are there are not related to the (Adelaide) show,” Mr Grieger said. “Some certainly are... but the majority, by far, are horticulture or agriculture or local business based. “There’s a whole structure of field day events around Australia that slot adjacent to each other and if we move them, we risk clashing with other events across different regions of Australia. “There is that developed or accepted arrangement or sequence of events and we fit well within that so we don’t want to upset that process.”

Extra car parking answer to filling empty shops By BRAD PERRY COMPLAINTS from shopowners about the lack of carparks in Berri has prompted the local council to consider making more space available for vehicles. The Berri Barmera Council may consider turning median strips on Vaughan Terrace into more carparks with the lack of available parking space unattractive to potential businesses looking to utilise empty shops. Berri Barmera Council Mayor Peter Hunt said a number of sites across Berri and Barmera were developed without adequate car parking. Due to the private ownership of the majority of the shops, the ability to develop carparking for certain sites is limited. Mr Hunt said council will engage a consultant to assess areas where parking could become more prelevant. “There has been some concerns for a number of months or quite some time because we just don’t seem to have enough area in Berri for carparks,” he said. “A lot of the shopowners are complaining that various other shopowners are parking in front of the facilities and not allowing cars and customers to come in. “We do have quite a bit of area where we could look at, like down Vaughan Terrace. “Vaughan Terrace would be an ideal spot if we could actually put more carparks in the centre somewhere.” Any move which can attract businesses to the empty shops in Berri and Barmera would

be positive, including setting up a car parking fund to complete works. “The whole idea is we want to get someone to have a look at it and do some costings and come up with the idea of what the possibilities are of where to put extra cars,” Mr Hunt said. “We’ve tried to alleviate shopowners as well from parking in front of their own shops to allow more customers the opportunity to park. “That’s (empty shops) one of the most important issues facing all of our Riverland towns at the moment. “Especially Berri and Barmera, we have a lot of empty shops and we want to do whatever we can to entice customers to come in and also for businesses to open up in our townships.”

Fishermen are being warned to abide to yabby restrictions

Member for Chaffey questions Chinese quarantine

â– BE WARNED: A Lyrup man fined for illegally casting too many yabby pots has prompted authorities to remind fishermen to stick to limits and regulations so the local yabby population has a future.

By BRAD PERRY QUARANTINE restrictions placed on Australian produce in China is hurting Riverland growers, according to the Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone. During a recent visit to the Asian country, Mr Whetstone witnessed firsthand problems with exporting and he said the issue must be addressed. “One of my concerns was the criteria for the quarantine put on Australian products into China,� he said. “In some cases, we’re seeing a lot of produce going through the backdoor from Hong Kong into China. “That’s something I’d like to see stopped, so it can reduce our costs of exporting produce to China and (then there will be) more returns to growers.� The trip to China was organised through The Confucius Institute at the University of Adelaide and Mr Whetstone said interacting with a different culture was a rewarding experience. “I went over to China on a few different fronts to gain a better understanding of how the Chinese work, how they trade and really to understand their culture,� he said. “We met the Australian embassies in Shanghai and Beijing to talk trade and just how we could better service their industry, particularly with horticulture and agriculture.� The Riverland may be able to service a market China is seeking, according to Mr Whetstone. “What we did find is China is looking for a lot more water technology, which I think we can provide in our region,� he said. “We are world leaders in monitoring and technology within water delivery and on-farm efficiencies and just as importantly, the wine industry is probably one of the big tickets. “Our style of wine in the warmer irrigated area will fit their slowly emerging wine industry.�

Warning: Stick to limits By BRAD PERRY FISHERMEN flouting bag limits and gear restrictions in the Riverland may harm future yabby stocks. PIRSA Fisheries and Aquaculture are warning people to stick to yabby limits after a Lyrup man was fined $3000 recently for setting 17 extra yabby pots in names other than his own. Senior fisheries officer for inland waters Dave Grant said deliberate breaches of yabby regulations in the Riverland may cause permanent damage to the local environment and will not be tolerated. “The more they take now, it can have a detrimental effect on the breeding population, so it is important people are mindful

of sticking to the bag limits,� Mr Grant said. “Certainly the other thing they must do is when females are carrying eggs, it is an offence to have those in your possession. “When we have a breeding time like this, if everyone takes more than they are allowed to take, then basically when the river drops back down again, it has an effect on the breeding stock,� he said. “It’s always disappointing that people get carried away. “The bag limit for yabbies per person (per day) is 200. “I just don’t understand why people would want to exceed that.� With high rivers and an abundance of yabbies, Mr Grant

said PIRSA will be patrolling the waters and he hopes locals will report illegal use of nets. “We need the locals that live and work in the area and go and chase yabbies to be vigilant and mindful,� he said. “If they are seeing people misbehaving and doing the wrong thing, I really encourage them to take ownership of their own area. “The bag limits and the gear restrictions are put there for a purpose.� Using excess gear and fishermen’s pots or nets being stolen are two concerning issues at the moment, according to Mr Grant. “Some of the people need to be reminded that it is a minimum of a white two litre float

and they need to have their name and address on it if they are not in attendance,� he said. “When they are setting the gear, they are only allowed to use or operate the gear they’ve set and it’s in their name.� Higher flows are predicted to head to the Riverland later in the year and Mr Grant said a close eye will be kept on fishermen as yabby numbers rise again. “As the waters warms up and summer comes along, I would expect the (availability of) yabby numbers to increase,� he said. “If you misbehave and you think you’ll get away with it, at some stage or other, you have to be lucky every day and we’ve only got to be lucky one day.�

THE future of the unusual sport of dragon boating in the Riverland appears to have been boosted by a small turnout to a come and try session at the weekend. Adelaide Phoenix Dragon Boat Club members attended a training session in Barmera with the hope to arouse interest and form a club in the Riverland. While previous sessions held at Lake Bonney saw minimal turn-outs, Adelaide Phoenix Dragon Boat Club committee member Bob Perry said there is potential to form a club in the region. “After the training session we had up there on Sunday, there were eight people that attended and they’ve formed a working group to try and push this up there from a Riverland perspective,� he said. “It is all in the infancy stage at this point but things are looking positive.�

Dragon boating is becoming increasingly popular and Mr Perry said the sport could potentially bring welcome economic benefits to the Riverland. “It opens up opportunities for city clubs to come up and paddle on the lake or on the river,� he said.

It is all in the infancy stage at this point but things are looking positive.

Currently, dragon boat clubs exist in Port Lincoln, Ceduna, Streaky Bay and Mildura and Mr Perry said there are positive signs for a local club to form. Riverland be active field officer Adrian Pipe said ideally, around 15 people are

needed to form a club. “Obviously a lot of the promotion that has been done has been through the winter and people are now starting to think about it a bit more with the nice weather,� he said. “There are lots of things we could do but we need that support. “(For example) it would be fantastic if schools had the opportunity to use the boat during the week.� Mr Pipe said interest has already been expressed in other clubs using Lake Bonney for dragon boat sessions and events. “I think it would be fantastic if we could use the lake and we’ve already had a conversation with a dragon boat club in Mildura who are really keen to come down and help and support,� he said. “A couple of the Adelaide clubs have already expressed an interest in coming up here and the lake’s perfect for it.�

Shindig a quick sell-out THE popularity of the annual Monash Shindig is evident after the event sold out in just five days. While organisers believed the show would indeed be a sell-out, they were amazed at how quickly the tickets were sold. “We are absolutely amazed at the speed within which the tickets have been snapped up,�

promotion officer Alison Halupka said. “We almost feel embarrassed that there will be people who were keen to attend and are already unable to obtain tickets when it’s still seven weeks until the event.� The sold out show will again be a boost to the small community of Monash. Organised by the

Monash and Lone Gum Community Association’s Committee, the Shindig has come a long way since starting in 2007. Originally, the show began as a celebration for Monash Memorial Hall’s new floor being installed. It became an annual event as of 2009 and has seen people from as far as Mildura and Adelaide attend in its brief history.

Grant inspires fundraising walk

REPORT BY

JANE WILSON GRANT Wood was described as being inspirational and so it is fitting that the memory of “Woody� has inspired Fit for Life owner Megan Petersen to organise a two kilometre fundraising walk, to be held on Saturday, to raise awareness of stroke. At only 45 years of age, Mr Wood suddenly passed away while participating in the Riverland be active Challenge three weeks ago. After suffering a stroke about 18 months ago, he had commenced rehabilitation with Mrs Petersen while she was employed with a local health agency. Mr Wood continued his road to recovery by taking four strength and cardio classes each week with Mrs Petersen at her new fitness centre in Berri. She said Mr Wood had come a

long way in his recovery and had made a big impact on the clients at her gym. “He made such an impact on everyone here and everyone that knew him,� Mrs Petersen said. “He was so inspirational by going from not being able to walk to doing the be active Challenge.� According to Mrs Petersen, Mr Wood would have been disappointed that he had died so close to the finish line of the two kilometre challenge walk. “He actually collapsed and passed away about 80 metres from the finish line,� Mrs Petersen said. “That’s why the (fundraiser) walk is two kilometres, so we can all finish the two kilometres for him.� Mr Wood was more than a client to Mrs Petersen, he was a friend. She said although Mr Wood had ongoing health issues, he was not one to make a fuss about them and he was always motivated with his rehabilitation with the hope of one day being able to

“I have seen a lot of people who return to the workforce. “He was not one to complain have had strokes and I don’t think which is another reason why he it’s something recognised enough,� was so inspirational,� Mrs Petersen Mrs Petersen said. said. “The stats are that one in six “His speech had been limited to people will have a stroke, so it’s ‘yes’ and ‘no’ but there had been a quite high and in most cases, it’s huge improvement with him being preventable. “A lot of funds are put towards able to communicate and Grant was very motivated to return to cancer and heart disease and not towards stroke prevention.� work.� “If you know the signs and get Sadly, Mr Wood was never to realise his dream but Mrs Petersen help quickly, there is a better chance said it is not too late for others to of recovery and if you know you are at risk of having a stroke, you can prevent having a stroke. She hopes that by holding do something about it before it Woody’s Walk, it will highlight the happens.� Mrs Petersen said Mr Wood importance of physical activity and would be honoured to know that being educated about stroke. She said by knowing the signs a fundraiser was being held in of stroke and the steps that can be his name. taken to reduce stroke, many people can $% '$ " ' either reduce the damage of a stroke or prevent one occurring in the first place.

Waikerie’s helping hand

“He wasn’t someone to boast but to be recognised like this, he’d be rapt and overwhelmed by the response by the people coming to support the event in his honour.� Everyone is invited to join Woody’s Walk which will start at 10.30am on Saturday at Fit for Life on Wilson Street, Berri, and conclude with a morning tea back at the fitness centre. Mrs Petersen will be collecting donations for the National Stroke Foundation on the day and will continue to accept money at the gym during the week as part of National Stroke Awareness Week.

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF IF IT WAS not for Bev Nitschke enrolling in community studies at school, Waikerie may have been robbed of a fine public servant. Since her school days, Bev has tirelessly committed her time towards helping make Waikerie what it is today. “At school we were able to get out into the community and help with the Meals on Wheels,� she said. “Since I've left school, that's still happening, which I think is a great thing. “The other thing I was able to do was to get involved in quite a bit of voluntary

work with students down at the Waikerie Football Club. “Currently, I'm still volunteering at Ramco Primary School.� Out of all areas of her volunteering, Bev has two big highlights, both involving her beloved football team. “In 1988, I was elected as president of the Waikerie Football Club and that was a dream come true,� she said. “Winning the 1991 grand final was a big highlight as well and the year before, we were looking as if we were going to win that too. “(Then) Modra took a screamer and I knew he'd kick a goal and he did and the game was drawn.

“The following week we replayed and we got thrashed but in 1991, it was fantastic. “It was touted as the one of the best games and it was special because Mark Ricciuto played and starred as a 16-year-old.� After so long, Bev is still as keen as ever to help out in her town and enjoys every bit of it. “You don't do it to get things out of it, you do it to be a part of the community,� she said. “In the Riverland communities, people do get involved and pull together through a crisis. “We have witnessed that in the past few years.�

Building excellence

Author visit By BRAD PERRY

â– WIN: The team from Hand Built Homes with their recent building excellence award is (from left) Jamie Knowling, Mark Hand, Adam Beauchamp, Gary Schultz, Craig Walkington and Paul Stewart. Photo: JANE WILSON

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF HAND Built Homes has taken out a major award at the prestigious Master Builders Association – Building Excellence Awards at a ceremony at the Adelaide Convention Centre recently. The company’s spectacular Silverthorne Berri project won it the commercial/ industrial building award in the $2 million to $5 million category. The company beat 15 other entries to claim the award. Design manager Jamie Knowling said the win is a testament to the hard work put in by Hand Built Homes staff. “It’s a team effort,� he said.

“Everyone in the whole company put in and that was recognised by the Master Builders judges. Mr Knowling said the company was flattered to win the award considering the stiff competition from Adelaide businesses. “There were five other high quality entries in this category, so to have our project judged the best against many larger Adelaide based, commercial builders is fantastic,� he said. “Hand Built not only constructed the building but also completed the entire architectural building design and the interior design of each tenancy.� The company hopes to continue its success when entering future awards.

“We’ve got some that we’re going to enter later in the year,� Mr Knowling said. “We hope we might be recognised for the awards as well.� The Master Builders Association judges stated the local business showed evidence of an exceptional level of quality, with planning and attention to detail. Also entered into the same category was Hand Built Homes’ recently constructed Rosenthal Automotive project which also received very positive feedback from judges. As a category winner, Hand Built Homes will now represent South Australia at the National Master Builders Building Excellence Awards to be held on the Gold Coast in November.

A LEADING Punjabi writer has praised the Riverland community during a visit to the region recently. During a trip to Australia, Ninder Ghugianvi spoke to the local Punjabi people and was left in awe of the beautiful surroundings. Describing Renmark as clean and peaceful, Mr Ghugianvi said he admired the way the local community lived. “They work hard and achieve a lot of things and I am proud of that,� Mr Ghugianvi said. “This is heaven.� The 33-year-old has written 35 books and worked across many different media streams all over the world. Mr Ghugianvi achieved his first literature success with an autobiography titled I Was a Servant to a Judge, based on the treatment he received working in an Indian court. The book was published in 10 different countries as a weekly article in Punjabi newspapers and eventually was printed in seven editions and is now used at the

Punjabi University. Over his prestigious career, Mr Ghugianvi was honoured by Canada’s Prime Minister for his literature services and he has also shown off his other talent, folk singing, in front of government members in London’s Parliament. Local Sikh community member Harvinder Singh said it was an honour to have Mr Ghugianvi in the Riverland. “Myself and the Punjabi community feel proud about him being able to visit us,� Mr Singh said. The Riverland is ex-

pected to receive worldwide attention from Mr Ghugianvi. His visit to Renmark will be documented in newspaper columns across 34 countries and Mr Ghugianvi will also include his experiences whilst in the Riverland in a book about his trip Down Under. “It gives the exposure of the Riverland community and how people live over here and what they do and to show we are proud of it,� Mr Singh said. “Some people (have) never heard about (the) Riverland.�

Tying the Knot

Wedding invitations on any budget Wed W

e all want value for the money that we spend and a wedding does cost a lot of money. It is crucial that you plan your budget for every aspect of your wedding.

The team at Print DNA can help advise you on options to get the very best value for your money. A great invitation is the first step to your great day. Let Print DNA turn an idea into unique, personalised stationery with a theme that you can carry from your invitations

through to your place cards. There are always options available to you, from us doing the complete job including printing the envelopes, to doing the printing and cutting for you to do the assembly, through to supplying you the papers, card and embellishments etc, for you to do it yourself. There is a price point for every budget to make sure you have the best wedding possible. Don’t hesitate to drop in and talk to the Print DNA team to explore the possibilities available to you. The biggest range matched with experience, imagination and technology takes the stress out of your printed requirements. Don’t forget, Print DNA do stationery for all occasions.

Bigger and better T

HE Riverland Field Days are here again and there is much anticipation surrounding this year’s two day event. With more than 450 exhibitors and stallholders, this year’s Field Days, beginning on Wednesday, promise to be the biggest and best in recent years. Riverland Field Days Committee secretary Tim Grieger said the Barmera based event has something for everyone. “We are looking really good from an exhibitor point of view,� he said. “We are slightly up on last year’s numbers and the pavilions are all fully booked, so that’s a really positive thing for the Field Days. “The whole overall presentation of what we’ve got there is going to be really good.� Exploring this year’s Field Days will definitely take more than a few hours, according to Mr Grieger. “I think it would take nearly two days to see the whole site, depending on your interest, depending on what you are looking for,� he said. “There are so many fascinating

exhibits there and all sorts of products and services. “You can easily spend a lot of time wandering from site to site. “The best strategy, of course, is to go to the program and plan your visit out through the program.� Every year the Riverland Field Days have new attractions and this year is no exception. “We’ve introduced some new features, the Tech Hub is a feature that will find an interest for everybody,� Mr Grieger said. “The other feature is the Grain Lane, which is something we introduced because we are finding the number of exhibitors for the dryland farmer is increasing. “We’ve also got the Irrigation Avenue and the wine and food area.� With around 16,000 people attending the event over two days last year, Mr Grieger is confident this year’s attendance figure can trump that. “We’re hoping to achieve that (16,000) target again, plus we are hoping for more,� he said. “We always look to see more of

the public through the gates. “It’s not only value to us, of course, but all the exhibitors are there. “The reason they are there is to promote their products and the more customers they see, the better it is for them.� Not only do businesses at the Riverland Field Days benefit from the event but so does the local economy. “Business promotion and marketing is the key, of course, and that’s what all the local businesses, as well as those further afield, are looking for,� Mr Grieger said. “Also, it benefits the region from an input point of view from accommodation, fuel and all the support services the Field Days require.�

The Field Days’ unsung heroes MANY people may not realise that the Riverland Field Days rely on “hundreds of hours� of volunteer work to make the event so successful. Many volunteers based from local agriculture bureaus help put the event together in what is described as a “12 month round approach� by the Field Days Committee. Riverland Field Days Committee secretary Tim Grieger said volunteers are the engine in the machine that is the Field Days. “It takes many hundreds of hours and that’s what the volunteers do, as well as run the event during the week of the Field Days,� he said. “We always promote the fact it is a volunteer based organisation and I think the region values and appreciates the effort that has been put in to provide such an outstanding event for the region.� The preparation for this year’s Field Days has been ongoing since the conclusion of last year’s event, according to Mr Grieger.

“It is a 12 month round approach by the committee. “We follow each event with a debrief session that looks at how it went, the successes and the things we can improve on, as well as starting to focus already on next year and the sort of things we’d like to do to introduce to help keep the Field Days relevant to today’s business needs.�

Field Days boost local economy MEMBER for Chaffey Tim Whetstone believes the Riverland Field Days are an important economic driver for the region and is hopeful of another big turnout this year. Mr Whetstone, who has attended the Field Days over a number of years, said businesses outside the Riverland can witness what the region has to offer during the two day event. “I think the Field Days are really important,” he said. “They showcase the Riverland region to many of the other interstate and Adelaide based businesses and it really does put us on the stage for two days on how we can service other industries and service the rest of “ the country. “It is also a showpiece for what the region can offer. “It is almost a three day event by the time people get there and set up, so it’s a very important date for our region and importantly, it’s a very important date for setting up future

HE Riverland Field Days offer new and exciting features each time the event is held and this year will be no exception.

“The range ing so we are that widely to farmer to the this year.”

THE GRAIN LANE With Riverland and Mallee farmers reaping the rewards of a good harvest last season, the introduction of The Grain Lane at the Riverland Field Days is a welcome addition. Riverland Field Days Committee secretary Tim Grieger said services for the grain farmer will now all be in one area. “We’ve got a whole lot of exhibits to focus on the broadacre farm machinery from harvesters, the large tractors, the grain elevators, the bulk bins and then a range of tools and equipment,” he said. “To support that, there are exhibitors that focus specifically on the needs of a broadacre farmer, grain marketing is another aspect of that as well.

is increaspromoting attract the Field Days

got the local exhibitors that are focusing on providing the equipment and the services for information technology.”

THE TECH HUB

WINE AND FOOD

AN INCREASING reliance on technology in rural areas has seen the introduction of the Tech Hub at this year’s Riverland Field Days. Over two days, Telstra will feature three, 20-minute special presentations daily about wireless broadband, mobile phone coverage and related accessories and products including antennas. Mr Grieger said the technology area is new for the event and he hopes it will become a permanent feature. “This is a first and we hope it will expand as we go into the future,” he said. “It offers a bit of an idea where technology is heading in that field.” “Associated with that (the presentations) we’ve

AFTER a successful introduction to last year’s Riverland Field Days, the unique Taste Riverland Wine and Food Market is back again. Included in this year’s range of food and beverages, are wine, almonds, coffee beans, breads, sweets, small goods and much more. Mr Grieger said the region is well known for its quality wine and believes this relatively new feature is important. “It was very popular last year,” he said. “This region is renowned for its fine wines and our value added foods that are produced and are now expanding in terms of what people are doing. “It’s looking very good from a public point of view

and you can actually go there and taste the wine, purchase a glass, sit in a relaxed environment to enjoy the fine foods we’ve got there as well.” Meanwhile, this year’s cooking demonstrations have taken a new direction with healthy eating on the agenda. Adelaide based company Sprout will assist and judge Riverland high schools as they cook their self-designed menus over two sessions on each day.

Farm machinery enquiries rising â– OLD: An early photograph of the Cobdogla Fire Station and appliance, which is part of the CFS historic collection. Photo: SUPPLIED

CFS requests memorabilia to help preserve history

■IMPRESSIVE: Riverland Farm Machinery’s Dean Fielke will be on site to show off the latest in farm machinery. Photo: JANE WILSON WITH a promising harvest in the Riverland and Mallee, there is growing confidence in the farming sector. Reflecting the renewed confidence in the industry, local operators at the Riverland Field Days are expecting to attract much interest with farm machinery sales already on the rise. Renmark based Riverland Farm Machinery which will be on hand at this year’s Field Days has enquiries for equipment coming from far and wide. “People do travel quite a way for the Field Days,� Riverland Farm Machinery’s Dean Fielke said. “More than half of the enquiries are from outside the area.� Operating from 10 sites, 562 to 667, Mr Fielke said he is hopeful of a positive response from those in attendance.

“You’ll see the regulars who come to the site once a year, it’s the social side, catching up with a lot of people,� he said. Farmers will be able to admire a selection of machinery that is not always on display in shopfronts. “We do have a new model tracked tractor there...it’s something new, it’s probably only one of three in the country,� Dean said. “We’ll have a new model Hardi trailed sprayer (as well).� At site 603, there will also be equipment for around the home, with a range of Honda and John Deere lawn mowers, lawncare products, and the John Deere toy range “We’re trying to catch some of the consumer market more than the ag market, catch mum more than dad at that end,� Mr Fielke said.

IN A BID to preserve history, Riverlanders are being urged to bring photos relating to the local history of fire fighting to the Riverland Field Days. Photos taken to the CFS site at the Riverland Field Days will be scanned and used to display at field days around the state and at the Volunteer Fire Museum, to be opened in Naracoorte next year.

CFS Heritage Committee chair Rex Hall will be at the Field Days and he hopes people can contribute local memorabilia to the collection as it currently contains a limited number of Riverland photographs. “This is a great chance for people to contribute to our collection and help preserve the history of our volunteer firefighters,� Mr Hall said. “We are grateful for any

contributions and are happy to accept photographs of appliances, stations, etc. “It is important that we acknowledge the courageous efforts of our volunteer firefighters, which have defended our state from bushfire throughout history.� Photos will be scanned on site and returned to the donor immediately.

Fun recycled fashion ONE of the many entertaining events on offer at the 2011 Riverland Field Days will be the Ag Art Fashion Show. After much success last year, show co-ordinator John Plush said there are 14 entrants for the fashion event. He said it promises to add a stylish, yet comical look to the Field Days. “People (can) watch the parade and see what strange creations have been made,� Mr Plush said. “It's very popular for people to watch. “Some of the creations will be greeted with laughter as well.� Held at the Rabobank Soundshell, the Ag Art Fashion Show is not just a basic fashion parade, according to Mr Plush. “It's ag art, based on recyclable items found around a block,� he said. This year's show will follow the previous format, with student and senior categories. The winner of the show will go on to showcase their agricultural art forms at the Elmore Field Days, in Victoria. “The winners from there get a trip to New Zealand,� Mr Plush added. “Our winner last year, from the school section,

Lachlan Sully, managed to win himself a trip to New Zealand. “Even though there are big opportunities available, it's more of a fun show for people, rather than a big competition, unless you are looking to go all the way.� For those not competing in the show, there is more on offer at the Soundshell. “We've (also) got a decorating boot competition for the young kids this year,� Mr Plush said. You can see all the designs at the Ag Art Fashion Show at 12pm and 2.30pm on Wednesday and Thursday at the Field Days. “The winners (will be) announced at the end of the Thursday afternoon show,� Mr Plush added. Meanwhile, Loxton Primary, Loxton High, Renmark High, St Alberts and Glossop High school bands will play over the two days. The Riverland Stage Band will also make an appearance on Wednesday.

Safety a high priority at Field Days

Sheep Dog trials tipped to draw large crowd ONE of the Riverland Field Days’ most popular attractions is not an exhibit. In fact, the sheep dog trials always draw a crowd and are expected to have many spectators again this year. “That is a little event that is always fascinating to have at the Field Days and is very much a part of dryland farming,� Mr Grieger said. “The fascination is watching the skill of the communication between the owner and the dog. “That’s always an interesting thing to watch and we are just pleased to have that happen each year at the Field Days. “It’s something different to do to relax and watch the performance of these dogs.�

“It is for people’s own safety, more and more people have to become aware of it.� Nicole said many people think height safety is daunting but when one sees the display, it is not as complicated as first thought. Just some of the fire safety equipment on offer at the business’ Field Days site will be fire blankets, hose reels and fire extinguishers.

“We have some first aid kits at the site,� Nicole said. Having had a site at the Field Days in the past, Nicole said the team at Riverland Fire & Safety enjoys the atmosphere at the event. “It’s a great way of getting your name out there,� she said. “When people see your business at the Field Days, they remember the name and will come back to the store afterwards.�

RIVERLAND FIELD DAYS

More than 50 years of gadgets

â– HISTORY: Many of the concepts introduced in the first ever Riverland Field Day, 54 years ago, still remain today, especially the continued focus on agriculture. Photos: FILE

THE Riverland Field Days has evolved from a humble beginning based on farming gadgets to an event showcasing more than 450 exhibits. Fifty four years ago, Renmark Agricultural Bureau chairman Ian Tolley (pictured below) stood at a regional meeting and floated the idea of a gadget day. The idea was met with great response as Ian recalls. “Everybody warmed to the idea,� he said. The first ever Field and Gadget Day was held on a fruit property at 22nd Street in Renmark with over 20 exhibits and more than 1000 people in attendance. Many inventions displayed at the Field Days were picked up by farming companies and had widespread use in the ensuing years. “There was up to 70 gadgets at a Field Day,� Ian said. “There was a hell of a lot

of exhibits and they were all from growers. “Some groups took an idea and ran with it. “There was a very good feeding ground to our advantage and the commercial firms put it on a proper footing.�

It is a drawcard but I think now we really, truly serve a major social function.

From there the Field Day grew and was moved to bigger venues including town ovals and sporting grounds across the Riverland. “Because it got more and more successful, we were finding it very difficult on a site basis to hold the shows,�

Ian said. “There was so much interest.� “The idea came then, just by evolution, that we ought to have a permanent site and that took quite a while. “We finally found a site at Barmera and the boys heave hoed and it was amazing how many thousands of hours were volunteered to put the site into a Field Day site.� Today thousands of people attend the Riverland Field Days with hundreds of exhibitors and Ian said the success of the event is thanks to the hard work of the community. “It is a drawcard but I think now we really, truly serve a major social function,� Ian said. In fact, the Field Days still have a section where people can enter gadgets, similar to when it started more than half a century ago.

4x4

MOTORING

Tavern Talk

Hundreds of 4x4s tackle Loveday’s playground and experienced four wheel drivers. Wives and girlfriends were prominent behind the wheel as screams and instructions rang out across the park. The large crowd soon gathered around a few of the advanced sections as the challenges were issued and accepted by a few of the ‘boys who will be boys’. Many drivers had to be dragged out by the park’s huge excavator as they sank axle deep into the mud, adding to the excitement and entertainment of the cheering crowd. What was great to see all around the park were the unmodified 4x4s having a go with many of them seeing dirt for the first time. Without the risk of damaging their vehicles, drivers tried the hills, sand and mud, fine tuning their 4WD skills and getting to know the limitations of their vehicles. At 3.30pm the call came to clear the playground and get ready for some insane action.

By DANNY HANRAHAN THE Australian 4x4 Muster at Loveday last month was packed full of fun, carnage and entertainment. Four wheel drives from across Australia converged on the Riverland for the second Australian 4x4 Muster held at the Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park. Trucks started rolling in from Thursday night to grab favourite camping spots ready for the events to officially begin at 9am on the first day of the event, starting with the 4x4 Expo. The expo was followed by 4WD TV’s remote control rock crawler competition. Children of all ages gathered around the specially constructed track to take part in the fun. On the minds of many in attendance was the real action, which started at 12pm, following a short briefing from park owner Tony Whateley.

Many drivers had to be dragged out by the park’s huge excavator. The Loveday Extreme Team Hour of Carnage Stunt Show hit the stage at 4pm with a huge crowd, three deep, lining the fence. Many locals had ventured out to the park to see this spectacular event that has featured at many of Australia’s state and national 4x4 shows. The action continued for over an hour until the four stunt cars, purchased from the wreckers, were

After a few words to emphasis the event would be focused on safety and family fun, the majority of the 300 4x4s in attendance headed for the famous Loveday Playground. Standard and modified 4WDs alike, lined up to take on their challenge of choice. The playground is a series of man-made tracks and obstacles designed for both inexperienced

literally smashed to bits. The crowd gasped in disbelief as they jumped and rolled over each other until each car’s life had spluttered to a stop. The ‘Walking Jukebox’ Ronny Hashim was not scheduled to appear until 7pm but as the extreme action ceased, the skies grew dark and rain began to pour down. Ronny decided to start early to keep the crowd entertained, doing just that, late into the night. Sunday kicked off at 9.30am with a short briefing and an introduction to the judges, who would preside over the fun day and allocate those much soughtafter points. The fun day was aimed at mum and dad with a car load of kids having a great day of fun out in the open air and bush. Just as common though, were the car loads of girls who had apparently gained a bit of confidence the day before and had issued a challenge to their male counterparts, adding a bit more fun to the day. The Sunday consisted of each vehicle participating in the eight stages located throughout the park, all incorporating a bit of action and fun. Communication skills were tested at the blind driving event, where a bucket was placed over the head of the driver, with the navigator having to issue instructions to complete a trip around the converted sand drag strip. Armed with a couple of cups of red cordial, the drink driving event proved to be a bit sticky for some as they negotiated a hilly section of

■FUN: Participants enjoyed the crocodile rescue/wrestling at the weekend’s Australian 4x4 Muster at Loveday. Photo: SUPPLIED the park’s playground. The mob from the Ute Muster were back with their utes at the park aiming to race the 4WDs around a specially designed track. However, due to a bit of rain, they were unable to compete but quickly organised a time trial around the circuit. Barrel racing was next on the list and dirt flew high as the 4WDs negotiated the figure eight course, with the farmers’ stage quickly following and Wayne Whateley getting amongst the fun. As the children enjoyed sideshow alley, the ET 4x4 Club had set up the extreme driving section. Entrants could test out their skill by attempting each of the sections to gain extra points. Hidden around the back of the property were the four judges of the crocodile rescue/ wrestling stage. While the male counterpart

was sent off in a canoe looking for crocodiles, it seemed they would freely offer the female partners a few quick lessons on how to wrestle a crocodile, disclosing a few intimate holds learnt from years of experience - or so the story went. At 4pm the crowd returned to the tavern for the draw of the gate prize, the Hilux Ute, along with the second prize of an Engle fridge. After the fun day, winners received their well deserved prizes, the big moment eventually came and Simon Herrmann couldn’t believe his ears. After winning the ute, he was given the opportunity to auction the truck off at his nominated starting price but quickly added “no way mate, this is mine�. He didn’t stop smiling all night. The long line of 4WDs quickly disappeared over the hill, heading for home but not before swearing that they would be back next year.

GARDENING WITH ANDREW WALLADGE

Spring is aflutter with colourful butterflies NOTHING screams spring louder than butterflies. I know butterflies are fairly quiet but I think you know what I mean. Bright sunshine, a profusion of colour from flowers of all descriptions, sweet fragrances hanging in the air, the gentle hum of insects going about their business and then to top it off, butterflies fluttering by in a seemingly aimless way without a care in the world. The other thing that has always surprised me is the variety of different butterflies that occur in the Riverland and Mallee. I am not an entomologist’s bootlace, so I won’t start describing them. However, if you like the idea of having butterflies around in your garden, I can help you there. To keep butterflies coming to your garden, the best way is to feed them nectar, their natural food. Caterpillars will eat their choice of your plants but if you want butterflies later, you will need to be careful about not using insecticides that kill them at any stage of their lifecycle (actually, insecticides are made to kill them). Why not go a step further and use plants on which butterflies lay their eggs specifically because caterpillars will eat them? Many plants will attract butterflies for nectar and/or caterpillar food. The list that follows is specific to the Riverland and Mallee, in that the plants are not only suitable to grow here but will also attract our local butterflies. Acacia victoriae is an elegant wattle. Many wattles deserve a place in any garden and most attract insects. Other native plants to consider include senna artemisioides desert cassia, Sturt’s desert cassia, dodonaea angustissima (hop bush), eremophila or emu bushes but especially E. alternitifolia, E. drummondii, E. ionantha, E. longifolia, macdonnellii, E. polyclada and E. santalina.

Also, geijera parvifolia wilga (Australian willow), helichrysum spp. (paper daisies or straw flowers), lomandra spp. (mat rushes), olearia pimeloides daisy (in fact, most daisies seem to attract butterflies) and pimelea spp. (rice flowers). Or try, swainsona spp. (includes Sturt’s desert pea), themedia spp. (kangaroo grass), thysanotus spp. (fringe lilies) or templtonia retusa (cockies tounge). I have seen cockies tongue stripped of leaves by caterpillars but I put up with it as the butterflies that follow are well worth it. There are plenty of other plants that will attract butterflies but our local plants will allow butterflies to complete their lifecycle, so you will have them back year after year. So get into spring, plant some plants from the list above, and you will be helping the butterflies, our fluttery friends.

The winning formula

Y with BRAD PERR

Razor slashing out of control OVER the past few weeks I have watched the latest series of Underbelly with intrigue. While the plot lives up to the expected violent and clotheless Underbelly elements, the use of a razor makes me cringe. In fact, even Sweeney Todd has nothing on the 1920’s razor gang (although he did use his victim’s brains in meat pies). Don’t get me wrong, I am really enjoying Underbelly without all the Mafia but how much razor slashing is too much? Sure, they were the razor gang and all good razor gangs obviously need to use a razor for other uses than shaving. Soon the razor gang must surely meet the other gang in town. The gang with guns. But, for now we are left wondering, how much razor slashingis too much?

Movie of the week Limitless WHAT if you discovered a drug which would make you an instant genius? You would take it, right? As an aspiring author suffering writer’s block, Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) discovers NZT and takes Wall Street by storm, investing and making millions of dollars. However, there is always a catch. A not to miss flick.

CD of the week

■FOOTY: Riverland Life FM football commentary team members Greg Graetz and Jason Evans are looking forward to broadcasting this weekend’s grand final.

One Love - David Guetta

Photo: FILE

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF IN THIS weekend’s Riverland Football League grand final, there will be one team who is confident of a winning formula and they will not be running around at Loxton North. The Riverland Life FM commentary team consisting of Jason Evans, Greg Graetz and Travis Dubrich are looking forward to broadcasting the local grand final across the region. For Jason, being behind the microphone is what he does best and after commentating for

regional football competitions over the past few years, he has had to learn players’ names quickly. “Last year was the first year I’ve done it (in the Riverland),� he said. “It was a case of me being new to the region. “This year, it’s just another game.� After commentating an SANFL grand final in the past, his knowledge of the game of football has continued to grow. Despite its recent good form, coming off the back of an

11-goal first quarter in the second semi-final against BarmeraMonash, Jason believes the pressure may be on Loxton North. “They’ve been up there all year, the home final and that might just give Waikerie the edge they need,� he said. “If they (Loxton North) come up again like they did (in the second-semi final), well, who’s going to stop them. “In the same way, who’s going to stop Waikerie. “They’ve certainly risen in the last half a dozen weeks.

“Ideally, I’d like to say it’s going to be a draw but I’ll pick Waikerie by 10 points.� Passion amongst the Riverland football clubs is something Jason has admired from the commentary box this season. “I think the passion within each of the clubs (and) the supporter base, I love that side of it,� he said. “The cross-town rivalry is great.� The Riverland Life FM grand final broadcast begins from 2pm on Saturday.

Book of the week Popcorn - Ben Elton BEN Elton certainly has a way with words. Popcorn which is a best seller, takes the reader on a journey which ultimately ends with you asking yourself about society today. From screenplay to prose, Popcorn feels like it is inspired by the workings of Quentin Tarintino. A book you cannot put down.

IF YOU have never heard of Dave Geutta, there is a fair chance you have never been to a club. One Love featured heavily on the pop charts since its release in 2009 and for many dance and hip-hop fans, is a must have album. With a host of other artists featuring on One Love, nothing sounds the same. In fact, I Gotta Feeling this album has got the goods.

Game of the week L.A. Noire - PS3 & XBOX 360 THIS single player detective thriller has you attempting to fight crime in post-war Los Angeles. If you can survive driving the awkward steering classic cars and are more patient than a two-year-old’s babysitter, then L.A. Noire will suit you. The graphics are cutting edge and the ability to choose who is telling the truth to help solve a crime is a welcome element. The only problem is, the game drags on.

Spectacular success at orchid show The annual Orchid Spectacular held by the Riverland Orchid Society Inc at the Berri Town Hall recently was labelled a huge success. Around five hundred people attended the event over the two days. Over 300 orchids of many different kinds were on display, making for an

incredible spectacle. Grand Champion was awarded to Don and Helen Cook of Qualco while Reserve Champion went to Tony Francis of Berri. The potting demonstration was popular on both days with the public able to get hands-on and ask questions.

Novita Art & Craft Fair fun

The 100th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of the Church of the Irish Martyrs at Lameroo was celebrated on Sunday, August 28. Mass was led by Archbishop Philip Wilson together with past Mallee Border Catholic Parish Priests Father Peter Sheedy, ( now of Victor Harbor), Father Tony Papps (Adelaide) and Father Peter Fountain (Naracoorte). Others present included many past parishioners, several Josephite sisters, a contingent of eight parishioners from Goodwood Parish, representatives from other local church denominations as well as Mallee Border parishioners from Pinnaroo and Murrayville. Former Lameroo Catholic Church organist Margaret Redden returned from Kingston SE to play for the service, while Sister Majella O’Sullivan, a former Sister at

Pinnaroo Convent and now of Adelaide, also assisted with music. A buffet luncheon at the Lameroo Community Hotel followed the Mass. Jim Byrne was in charge of proceedings at the luncheon, and invited Archbishop Wilson to address the gathering. Mallee Border Pastoral Council Chairperson Marjorie Schroeder also reflected on the history of the parish and Stephanie Ayliffe extended congratulations on behalf of Goodwood Parish and reminisced on the “city/country twinning” programme that has now spanned fifteen years. Displayed memorabilia generated some discussion during the afternoon. Archbishop Wilson, together with parishioner Margaret Caulfield who has been worshipping at the Lameroo church for eighty two of the one hundred

years, cut the anniversary cake which featured a picture of the Church of the Irish Martyrs. Among past parishioners to return for the occasion were representatives of the Redden, Daly, Power and Byrne families, David and Janette Furniss, Ann and Martin Whelan, Veronica Muir and her husband Mark, David McGowan and his wife Roz, Mary O’Loughlin, Madeleine O’Driscoll, Judith Fernandez, Bill and Bonnie Darcy, Elaine Boyce. Also present were state CWL president Pauline Victory with husband Bernie and daughter Claire, and Josephite Provincial Sister Marion Gambin. Lameroo Catholic Womens League president Sharon Woodfield this week expressed her delight at the success of the day, and her appreciation to all who had assisted to ensure the anniversary’s success.

Renmark’s perfect season By BRAD PERRY A MORE focused and determined Renmark A1 netball team avenged last season’s grand final loss by convincingly beating Loxton to claim the Riverland Netball Association premiership on Friday night. After being upset by Loxton in last season’s grand final, Renmark coasted through the season and the 11-goal title win means the team achieved a rare feat by finishing the season undefeated. From the beginning, Loxton had no answer to Renmark’s strong presence across the court, struggling to penetrate its defence and unable to slow the scoring. Renmark A1 coach Ann Noack said the team did not focus on last year’s grand final loss throughout the season. “We just focused on winning every game and then come the finals, it was just, again, being focused on winning every game,” she said. While the Renmark defence of Leanne Menz and Jo Haynes has been rock solid all season, Ann said the team’s attack proved to be the difference in the final.

■ BEST: Renmark midcourt player Kerri Griffiths was a stand-out in the grand final and was judged best-a-court. “Defence is always good but I think our attacking end stepped up a gear for this grand final,” she said. “Certainly Sonja Modlinski combined well with Amy Martinson but Sonja played a beautiful game. “I think Kerri Griffiths, best on court, it was probably her best game of the season. “She just had a little bit more insight in what she needed to do in the game because we video a lot and have a good look at what was needed.” Even when Loxton began to control the midcourt in the third quarter with the likes of Hollie

Buick and Leah Uren stepping up, Noack had confidence the team would claim victory. This season’s grand final turnaround from last year’s loss was due to a different outlook, according to Noack. “The nerves weren’t there, the make-up of the team was different, they gelled really well, they got on well on court and off and it is just a really good group of girls,” she said. “I think bringing back the experienced ones in Amy Martinson, Kerri (Griffiths) (and) Amy Leesue, although she didn’t get on court, was a bit of a settler.” Noack said she will not yet make a decision on whether she will lead the Renmark A1 netball team again until next season. “At this stage it is still wait and see until next year,” she said. Meanwhile, Loxton North claimed the A2 and A3 premierships respectively, with wins over Renmark and Berri, while Berri (B1), Loxton (B2), Monash (B3), Berri (C1) and Loxton North (C2) also claimed victory in their respective premiership games.

Riverland football’s highest honour for Millard ■ From Page 42 “I was over the moon. “I couldn’t wait to get up there and say ‘that’s mine’.” Millard polled steadily throughout the count and managed to sneak in front of Loxton star Pete Smith to win by a single vote. Smith led early with 10 votes after five rounds, closely followed by Loxton North midfielder Dan Proud on eight votes.

Five rounds later, Smith had taken a strong lead with 17 votes, with Waikerie’s Tim Bevan and Berri’s Adam Beauchamp in the mix. Injuries hampered Smith’s season late in the year and Millard came storming home, polling eight votes in three rounds, with neither Millard or Smith polling a vote in the last three rounds. Following the win, Millard paid homage to the runner-up

Smith. “I thought Pete Smith was going to win it just because he is a terrific footballer,” Millard said. “He is actually the best footballer in the Riverland.” The 22-year-old, who enjoyed his opportunity in the midfield this season, said he is hoping to be a leader for the younger generation at the club with his ultimate goal to win a premiership.

Meanwhile, other major award winners included Barmera-Monash’s Terry Packer, who won the seconds’ and Loxton North’s Nathan Francis who claimed the thirds‘ medal. The Millards would have been the first father/son combination to win the Whillas Medal if another family pair had not recently been rewarded a medal with changes to the countback rule.

Injury concerns ahead of football final By BRAD PERRY WAIKERIE will be sweating on the fitness of key player Andrew Bachmann for this weekend's Riverland Football League grand final. Bachmann has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot for the past two weeks and pulled up sore from last weekend's preliminary final

against Barmera-Monash. “It should be a wait and see,” Waikerie coach Troy Lehmann said. Young gun Joseph Haines also landed awkwardly on his shoulder and his fitness will be tested before he is selected. “Joseph hurt his arm,” Lehmann said. “Hopefully he is okay. “He will be getting it

checked this week but we are pretty confident he will come up.” Not having the extra week rest, like Loxton North has, has been important for Waikerie, according to Lehmann. “I think it's (playing in the preliminary final) just probably topped us off nicely,” he said. “A few guys missed a lot of footy through the middle of

the year, (so) just getting those two finals hit-outs, where the intensity goes up, is probably ideal.” Lehmann dispelled rumours about 2010 Whillas medalist Damian Stevens returning from a serious knee injury. Loxton North is expected to go into Saturday's grand final unchanged from its semi-final win over Barmera-Monash.

BLANCHETOWN/SWAN Reach capped off a stellar season by winning back-to-back Riverland Independent Netball Association titles on the weekend. In a thrilling contest with East Murray, the Redbacks triumphed 35-34, with centre Kirsty Marr playing a starring role, winning best on court. Leading at every change, BSR survived a last quarter scare from the Tigers to win its second premiership in as many years, both coming in the first two years of the club’s existence in the local association. Player-coach Kelly Goodrich (pictured below) said the team had an exceptional season. “(Being the reigning premier) you’re the top dog and everyone wants to knock you off,” Goodrich said. “It’s sweet going back-to-back. “Certainly the girls are rewarded for all the hard work they put in.” BSR has had a number of key players who have had top seasons, including 16-year-old wing attack Tammy Stoeckel, who won the club’s best and fairest. “That’s pretty good coming up from juniors,” Goodrich said. “Jo Schmidt, our centre, came over from Morgan, same with Kirsty Marr. “Lisa Stoeckel in defence, she’s had a consistent year overall.”

RIVERLAND INDEPENDENT GRAND FINAL

Lyrup claims back-to-back flags By BRAD PERRY AS THE final siren for the Riverland Football League Independent grand final sounded across Paringa Oval on Saturday, history had been rewritten. After finishing minor premier in the Riverland Independent football competition, Lyrup went into the grand final showdown with Paringa as the underdog, after losing to the Swans in the second semi-final. However, the Lions were confident they could turn around their recent record against the Swans and did so in convincing style claiming back-to-back premierships for the first time in the club’s history. Kicking against a three to four goal breeze, Paringa started well, holding a one point lead at the first break. Anthony Lippis proved to be a handful for the Swans’ defence, booting three goals for the quarter. At the other end, Dean Hill was prominent, snaring a pair in the first term. Paringa coach Arrod Westley was happy with his team’s effort in the first term and the Swans were still considered a genuine chance to win, despite just one goal with the wind in the second quarter. Both captains Andrew Lloyd and Jason Marr were important in the centre, while the contest between Nathan Gregory and Nathan Rover in the ruck proved pivotal. The match opened up in the third quarter with Lyup turning on the goals, booting six majors to one. Ken Karpany, Dave Grenfell, Lenny Campbell and Dyland Johnson all sprung to life, running the ball well from half back. The final term proved to be even with Paringa slowly clawing its way back into the contest only to give up a goal on the turnover. When Travis Wilson curled a kick left to right for a goal, the result was done and dusted. Lyrup coach Sam Lloyd said the 32-point win was a reward for all the hard effort put in by the players during the season. “They were leading us at quarter time and we were kicking with a three to four goal breeze,” he said. “They really had the edge over us in that first quarter but in the second quarter, we outscored them going into the breeze and that really set us up for the rest of the match. “It was a bit of a relief (to win the premiership). “It was great to get back-to-back, we’ve been aiming for it all year so it was great to do it.” Lloyd said several players stood out on the day for Lyrup including Karpany, Gregory, Grenfell, Grant Smith and Scott Watson. For Paringa, Miller’s second half efforts on Lippis saw him as one of the team’s best, while Lloyd, Brad Pitt, Duane Angel and Tom Frahn all contributed.

Hockey finals heating up LAST Saturday’s men’s and women’s A grade hockey second semi-finals, amongst the top two teams in the competitions, were always going to be titanic battles but even more so after the quality of the potential challengers amongst the teams below them was showcased the night before. In the men’s first semifinal, Renmark had been forced to call on all of the attributes that had put them at the top of the ladder a few weeks earlier to fight back from 4-0 down against bottom side Berri and avoid elimination from the premiership race. A lot of skill plus some old fashioned ‘G&D’ got Renmark to a four all draw but the recovery started with only 16 minutes remaining in the contest and the last, vital, Matt Mallinson goal came within the last two minutes of the game. Renmark proceed because they finished higher at

the end of the minor round. The women’s knockout semi-final saw an impressive Berri emerge as a real title threat in defeating a depleted Waikerie, 5-0. Now with the situations that exist, Loxton would be ‘cock a hoop’ that they havee won straight through to thee grand final in both seniorr grades, while Waikerie in n the men’s competition, and Renmark in the women’s, get a second chance but have to face formidable opponents in the preliminary finals. As I said a few weeks ago, the availability of players from week to week can have an enormous effect on the various teams’ chances. In the men’s preliminary, Waikerie will start slight favourites against Renmark after defeating them 6-4 in a crucial last match in the minor round that sent the winners to top, losers to third. Waikerie ooze talent like Jeremy Modistach, Ja-

son Redemski and Alex Fulwood, while Renmark have Matt Mallinson, young star Dalton Casey and Callum Benda, who is back in good form and obviously on top of a troublesome knee problem.

Hockey Association’s awards night is held. Umpires’ votes decide the best and fairest winners and often in the past, these have contrasted considerably with the opinions offered by officials during the minor round

A feature of Waikerie’s season has been their even spread of contributors. The last time Renmark and Berri met in the women’s competition, Renmark won 3-2 and it could be that close again on Saturday. Danielle Weeks, Juliet Mallinson and Kate Coden lead the Renmark charge while they line up well with Berri’s consistent performers like Merinda McMahon, Sam Rashleigh and Kristen Hibberd. A lot of those names will echo around the Loxton Bowling Club this Saturday night when the Riverland

but to the main chances? My mail suggests that for the men’s award, Loxton’s main hope will be a player always in the main action spots, Aaron Evans. SA state country representative Sean Burgess will get votes but may have missed too many games with his home club. A feature of Waikerie’s season has been their even spread of contributors but Jason Redemski appears a standout. At Renmark, another

SA country squad member Danial Shawyer should head the list with his eye-catching play and team leadership. When talking Berri, you would normally highlight Brett Stokes but this has been a different season for the veteran. Some injury and other absenteeism aside, he has also taken on very much a teaching role for his rebuilding group in 2011, although anyone who witnessed his cameo display last Friday night, that nearly saw his side upset Renmark, would have recognised it as a flashback to yesteryear. Heath Pillow and Tony Halupka, who has often been forced to work overtime as goalkeeper, could surprise. In the women’s voting, Loxton champion Billie Jo Hammerstein will be a great chance again but when are the performances of her talented young teammates like Steph Baird,

Tara Allister and Eloise Hampel finally going to affect her vote tally? Looking at Renmark, if Danielle Weeks and her young daughter Juliet Mallinson end up sitting at separate tables on Saturday night, you will know why as they appear likely to dispute their club’s votes. Berri? It seems it will be a case of vote sharing. Kristen Hibbard, a former ‘B’ grade best and fairest, Merinda McMahon and Sam Rashleigh have claims. Two names really show out at Waikerie. They are Cheriyse Hope and Brianna Seabrook, two young ladies who perhaps deserve a change of luck after they were unable to influence their team’s chances in the first semifinal against Berri because of injury and illness. Sticking my neck out, a Loxton double, perhaps in Aaron Evans and Billie Jo Hammerstein.

at Loxton, when premiership winners Renmark were beaten again, this time by a Stacey Gwiazda boosted Berri, 2-1. Also at Loxton, in front of a large and vocal crowd, an exhibition game between a Riverland over 35s team and Loxton seniors, proved a winner with the old guys starting like rockets and going on to win 6-3, despite admitting to hanging out for the final whistle more like damp squibs.

Ian Van Der Beizen, Adrian Pipe, Paul Eleftheriadis (with two goals), Nick Spinks and Dave Gregoric were the best of the veteran’s line-up from which all members were praised for their efforts by coach Kevin Barber. The RSA presentation night is set down for the Berri Resort Hotel on Friday, September 23. Tickets are only available via clubs at $20 for adults and $10 for juniors.

Bringing home the Goodes

■ KEEN: Loxton boxer Ryan Goodes has maintained his junior title with wins over older and strong opponents in recent weeks.

RIVERLAND boxers brought home seven titles from the state championships held at the West Adelaide Football Club over the weekend. Barossa’s Uschi Artym in the women’s under 54 kilogram masters elite open division, Mildura’s Ashley Bobbin, in under 52kg junior open, and Ryan Goodes, in under 63kg junior open, all representing the Riverland Boxing and Fitness Club at Loxton, won their championships unopposed. From the Renmark Boxing Club, Jim Mills was also unopposed in taking out the schoolboys’ under 70kg title. Also from the Loxton gym, big improver Mathew Wilson continued to show some real class in winning the final of the 60kg junior open division against Aus-

tralian junior silver medal holder and 2010 SA champion Ben Noonan (Port Pirie). Mathew had the best of the draw going directly to the final while Noonan won a semi-final against Marcus Howard on points, 10-5. In the final, the Loxton boxer finished the stronger in a tough contest to take the bout on points, 7-4. The final of the open schoolboys’ division was an all Riverland affair with the Renmark Boxing Club’s Michael Peace, in his first bout, defeating Mildura’s Liam Bobbin, also out of the Loxton gym, in a hard fight, 12-7 on points. Also amongst other members of the Renmark club, Wayne Fraser grabbed the junior under 50kg division title by defeating

West Beach’s Sam Ferro in the final and Ali Iqbal lost at the semi-final stage of the under 69kg youth open division. Ryan Goodes did not miss out on a bout even though claiming his title unopposed and after only recently turning 15, continued to hold his own against older and stronger opponents on being matched with 60kg elite champion Tom Morrison (Morphett Vale), who had also won his division unopposed. Ryan won a real thriller, 7-6 on points, after a strong start and has now won three of his last four fights which have all been against senior boxers. Our locals will now await selection for the state team for the Australian championships, in Hobart, in February next year.

SPORT

Knight’s Mail Medal

Lameroo netball legends relive glory days ALL of we ‘has beens’ who played sport in our younger days would have been guilty of making “back in my day” remarks at some time or other. Well it seems that some of the past players of the Lameroo Netball Club were just a bit too vocal with their comments when they were amongst the spectators at a 2011 game recently. The result? All past players were invited to actually show how it was done in their day at a Lameroo Legends match back on August 14. The present day players were interested spectators for a Lameroo North versus Lameroo South clash and while they may not have learnt much, they certainly had some laughs. With each team having a 10 member squad, there were more substitutions during the contest of eight minute quarters than Mick Malthouse makes for his Collingwood Magpies. The veterans were conscious of how hard the court was and aware of some severe aches and pains arriving later in the day but that did not deter them, the old skills were still there. The under 50s seemed the more spritely, the over 50s more wise. “It was a great day, everybody loved the chance to get out and about to play a little netball while reminiscing about their younger days,” said club president Muriel Walter. “The mind was still willing

but the body needed to be twenty years younger. “It was also a fantastic opportunity to get the 1996 premiership team together again” she said. Actually, Muriel was one of the stars of the game using on-court chat to confuse her opponents but at the same time, putting up with some youngsters on the sidelines apparently “getting some of their own back”. Glenda Walter, although admitting it was the first time she had ran in 10 years, still rocketed down the court and produced some rare passes, while Jill Rundle really came out firing in the mid court but hastily sought a quieter time as goalie when she realised that she would be playing the whole four quarters. Then there was Disey Dall who drove all the way from Clare to join her 1996 team-mates and put on a show through centre with some vintage moves. In the end, some astute coaching took North to a 20-16 win in a titanic struggle before a barbecue replaced some energy and some medicinal champagne dulled some pain. Following the classic contest, it seemed the population of Lameroo had suddenly dropped but no, the Legends’ players are gradually reappearing on the streets to go about their regular chores, some noticeably still more ‘gingerly’ than pre Sunday August 14.

Amazing response to Pink Day TALKING to one of the organisers of the third annual Pink (and Purple in 2011) Day Appeal, to aid research into breast cancer, Matthew ‘Doc’Clifford, he was again amazed at the response from the football, netball, hockey and soccer sectors as well as Riverlanders generally to this year`s fundraiser. “It is difficult to coordinate an effort such as this across so many sports playing at different times and venues,” he said. “The result again reflects the generosity of our community when it comes to donating towards worthwhile causes.” “The 2011 effort raised $5,247 and this will be distributed 80 per cent to our local Living to Beat Cancer girls and 20 per cent to the National Breast Cancer Foundation,” Doc said.

Tara an all-round sportsperson LOXTON North’s Tara Learhinan has taken out the best first year junior A1 netball trophy for 2011, less than twelve months after she received the 2009-10 Peter Frankcom Riverland Junior Sports Star of the Year award - for volleyball. With the seasons for the two sports running simultaneously, why the change, particularly after a volleyball season that saw Tara win the rookie of the year and most valuable player awards, playing for Mount Lofty in division one of the Adelaide competition?

She also attended Australian youth camps and SA Institute of Sport Development Squads for both indoor and beach volleyball. In addition, she played for her school, Loxton High, at the Australian Schools Cup in Melbourne and in the beach form of the sport, for the state team in Perth. But in 2011, it was that special time at school, Year 12, so pursuing a schedule with any resemblance to that in volleyball was not an option. Instead, Tara made the

switch to netball, initially to play at under 17 level but Loxton North officials soon had her pencilled in for A1 grade on Friday nights and her own age group on Saturday. Looking to the future, Tara will most likely return to volleyball next year if she moves to Adelaide to commence university. Alternatively, if she decides to spend 2012 in the Riverland, it will probably be netball again, something that would please the people around the developing Loxton North A1 side, no doubt.

KAROONDA captain Corey Knight certainly had a mixed weekend being part of his team’s spirited attempt to upset a more fancied Murrayville in last Saturday’s Mallee Football League preliminary final and then on Sunday, taking out the competition’s top individual honour, the Mail Medal, at a dinner at Peake. The preliminary final was a great game of football with Murrayville off to a strong start to lead by 32 points after first use of a strong breeze straight down the ground. But the Magpies also made good use of the elements to fight back and go into the long break two points in front. Then with the wind subsiding, the Bulldogs edged to the lead, 10-11 (71) to 9-10 (64), at three quarter time but when Karoonda scored the first goal of the final quarter, the ticket into the grand final was really in dispute. However, after digging deep and with players like Rian Crane, Kevin Wyatt and Ryan McCormick completing dominant displays, it is Murrayville that will play Border Downs Tintinara at Murrayville this Saturday for the flag. Karoonda’s best were Dale Bradley, Eli Koch and Zakk Bullard. BDT will start sound favourites for the premiership after winning the second semi-final against Murrayville by 15 points, although the only game they have lost in 2011, so far, was against the Bulldogs and the title decider is in enemy territory. Josh Keller, Lee Tape, Chris Gregory, with Josh Richardson, back after missing much of the season with injury, his brothers Lachy and Clint, head a bevy of stars in the BDT line-up. Versatile Corey Knight, who is also a SA Country Cricket Outlaws representative, polled 18 votes in the medal count to finish ahead of last year’s winner BDT’s Josh Keller, 14, Dan Wohling (Lameroo), Darren Hare (Karoonda), and Rian Crane ,13, Trent Sporn (Murrayville), 12. Craig Zerk (Lameroo) won the Moyle Reserves Medal, Zakk Bullard the Rodney Maynard under 19’s, Brendon Borchardt the Bill Murdoch under 16’s, and the Flow FM Footballer of the Year voting, which is lodged by club officials, agreed with umpires opinions, finishing Knight – Keller.

Proud of leading the club to consecutive flags by beating Paringa on the weekend, Lloyd said he has decided to step down due to business and family commitments. “I have retired as a coach,” he told the Riverland Weekly. “I won’t be seeking further re-appointment. “It’s a great footy club to be involved with and most of the guys reckon they are going to play on. “I will be involved in some way and I am sure the club will have great success in the next couple of years.” ■ Independent final page 39

200 reasons to celebrate By BRAD PERRY

■ MILESTONE: Not many football players can boast that the grand final will be a major milestone day but for Waikerie veteran Nathan Tape, that is the case, as he plays his 200th A grade match for the club in this weekend’s grand final.

THERE are not too many people in football who get to run out in a grand final celebrating a milestone. Waikerie veteran Nathan Tape will play his 200th A grade game for the club against Loxton North on Saturday and he said a win would be the icing on the cake. “With my 200 (A grade games) coming up this week and to make it six (premierships), I don’t think there is too many people around that would have won six A grade grand finals in the Riverland,” he said. “I’m 36-years-old now and you just don’t know whether you will be able to go on next year or not. “If it happened to be my last game it is really fantastic to have it as a grand final and 200th game.” Tape’s strike rate in grand finals is five wins from seven attempts and he is hoping late season form by the Mag-

pies will add another achievement to his illustrious career. “We’ve been playing really good football over the past couple of weeks and we’ve got our full squad in, other than Damien Stevens,” Tape said. “If we can play the same as what we’ve been doing over the past couple of weeks, I think we are a pretty good chance.” Midway through the season, Waikerie was struck down by injuries to several key players including Tape, who suffered knee problems. In fact, Tape said midway through the season, the club had 23 players injured across the three senior grades. “I had a knee operation early in the season,” Tape said. “Just a bit of a cleanout and it has been a bit of a struggle, to be honest, to come back from that. “I’ve played a lot more up forward than on the ball and we’ve got quite a tall forward line, so sometimes

you find yourself struggling in the middle of a lot of tall blokes when I’m not very tall. “I am still getting a few kicks here and there but probably would like to improve this week on what I’ve been doing.” The premiership experience of Tape will be invaluable into the lead-up to Saturday’s grand final, especially considering he has helped coach the under 18s this season. What Tape really loves about the build-up to a grand final is the atmosphere around the club and the way the town gets behind the team. “The whole town down here gets together and all the shops put black and white in their windows,” he said. “You really enjoy it in the lead-up but other than that, you just prepare the same way you do in every game and don’t change your routine just because it’s a grand final.”

Venning’s big chance to lead from the front By BRAD PERRY AFTER star midfielder Damien Stevens went down with a seasonending knee injury, Waikerie big man Ben Venning stepped up to the plate to take over the reins. While unexpected, Venning is looking forward to the opportunity to lead his team into a grand final against Loxton North on Saturday. The 24-year-old, who won a flag in 2008, in his first year with the club, believes a win this weekend would be the sweetest yet. “It is more about where we have come from because people started writing us off during the year,” Venning said. “For us to turn that around and make it and look like a genuine contender this weekend, I think it will be sweeter than 2008 if we win.” “Stevo (Damien Stevens) was

our captain at the start of the year and I was vice (captain) and now that I’m captain, it would just be even sweeter to get up there and hold that cup up.” Likely to start forward this weekend, Venning said he is up to the challenge against the competition’s best defence. “They’ve probably got two of the best defenders in the league in Michael Arnold and Anton Cook so depending on whether (Troy Lehmann) puts me at centre half or full forward, I will have a pretty hard job on them,” he said. “At the end of the day, it comes down to some of the delivery you get as well.” After missing seven games with a knee injury, Venning said he is moving freely and he is hoping to return to form in the grand final. “I missed six or seven games

there but my knee is fine now and I even get to the point where I don’t even think to strap it anymore,” he said. “My past couple of weeks have probably been a bit quiet but we had a good finish to the year and it would be good to turn that form around for myself this weekend but the team is travelling well and that’s the main thing.” The former West Adelaide junior premiership winner said the atmosphere around the club is “a buzz”. “We obviously haven’t played in one since 2008 and any grand final is a good experience and the boys are all pumped,” Venning said. “I think we’re on a bit of a roll now and if we win this weekend, it will be seven (games) in a row, which is a fair achievement in itself.”

GRAND FINAL

Special Edition

Panther talent on show By BRAD PERRY WITH an average age of just 22, Loxton North enters Saturday’s Riverland Football League as one of the youngest ever teams to play in the ultimate day in September. Loxton North A grade coach Craig Wooldridge believes it is the youthfulness and exuberance of his team which makes this year’s Panthers exciting. “People have got to understand that our average age is 22… and that’s damn young,” he said. “When I’ve played in grand final sides, I’ve never been that young. “We haven’t got anyone over 30. “People say you could be inexperienced come grand final day but I think it showed against Barmera-Monash, if we were overawed by the situation, you could see by the first quarter we were ready to go.”

■ Loxton North coach Craig Wooldridge is excited about his young guns. After finishing in the bottom half of the ladder in previous seasons, RFL Coach of the Year Wooldridge said there has been much work put into the turnaround. “We had a patch where we struggled for a few years and that’s what I try to remind them of and I keep going back to it,” he said. “Three years ago or two years ago, all (the team) wanted to do

was win games and now (they are) in that spot and I don’t think I have to say anymore. “I would hope what I brought in last year, defensively and not being belted and just little things like that we tried to implement early on, (has paid off) just to gain their confidence in what we are doing and where we are going with it.” Wooldridge said he will be just as nervous as the players come grand final time but he

said handling nerves will be important. “If you are getting nervous, enjoy being nervous,” he said. “Don’t feel it as a threat or anything, just say ‘this is good’ and that’s the only way to do it.” A number of the key young players in Saturday’s final include Michael Scott, Andrew Baker, Nathan Brown and Brad Mules. If Loxton North does not claim the premiership, playing on their home ground at Panther Park, Wooldridge said he will still be excited about the future and has committed to the club for as many years as it takes to develop the young team. “We’re going to lose a few next year but we’ve got a strong core group who are going to be here and I think if we end third or fourth next year or first or second, we are going to be pretty competitive,” he said. “I’ll be coaching next year.”

Waikerie’s tall timber to play pivotal role By BRAD PERRY HALFWAY through this season, Waikerie appeared a real chance to miss out on a finals spot. Fast forward two months later and the Magpies are preparing for a grand final after finishing in third spot on the ladder during the Riverland Football League regular season. After the team’s structure was severely affected by injuries, the return of a number of key players has seen the Magpies record six consecutive wins. Waikerie A grade coach Troy Lehmann believes form is on his team’s side when it takes to the oval on Saturday against Loxton North. “We’ve won six in a row and kept a settled side which we didn’t have for a long time,” he said. “So to go in with winning form and a settled side, that’s ideal. “I think we just got better and better once we got a bit of confidence and a settled side, so there is no magic formula.” The former AFL player is confident the Magpies will

match up well, one-on-one with the Panthers. “We beat them up there (at Loxton North) about a month ago,” Lehmann said. “They’ve probably got one or two back since then and we pretty much had our full side in, so it should be a good match. “We’ve got a couple of guys like Rob Smyth who will take Nathan Brown (and) we’ve got a few quicker players, so we match up pretty well. “I wouldn’t think there would be too much in it.” Lehmann said he will pass on his finals’ experience to the younger players in the team but ultimately, the results sit with the players’ performance on the day. “The greatest influence on them is themselves really, it’s not the coach,” he said. “There is a big reward at the end. “Probalby half our side, some have played in two or three premierships, some have played in four or five, so I’m sure they will be passing on their knowledge just as much as me.” After a loss to Renmark some weeks ago, Waikerie has

“We managed to get four or five of them back. “We expected to do well from the start of the season, so when we were sitting four (wins) and eight (losses), we always thought we could turn it around.” Ben Venning and Craig Miller have been identified as two key talls, while young guns Joseph Haines and Joel Fladrich have jumped at the chance to play in a grand final.

MICHAEL ARNOLD THE key centre half back could be the difference between winning and losing for Loxton North. Considering he is heading overseas next season, expect Arnold to be extra hungry to win.
