Waiting times cut
Recruitment of one new doctor every month has medical workforce back on track By BRAD PERRY WAITING times at Riverland medical practices have been slashed with the appointment of 13 new doctors within a year. A large international contingent of medical graduates have moved to the region, taking the workload off local general practitioners.
At least one new doctor has been employed in the region every month over the past year. Riverland Division of General Practice chief executive officer Bron Marie admits the region had a “gross shortage” of GPs before an influx of doctors over 12 months. “Our existing GPs were overworked, tired, weren’t getting
the breaks they needed, were working long hours but also doing the on-call shifts, which are pretty tiring,” she said. “Some of that has been released, there is no question about that, but as our population ages, if we don’t take better care of ourselves, we are going to need more medical workforce because that’s just

THE Riverland Division of General Practice must be congratulated for its efforts in attracting a large number of doctors to the region in a short amount of time. With the lack of Australian born doctors, it is becoming increasingly normal for international medical graduates to make up a large portion of rural health practices. The community must also be applauded for welcoming the new doctors with open arms. I imagine it would be quite hard for a doctor to move away from his/ her home country and settle in an overseas town. The real question which will continue to be asked is how many doctors is enough? There is no doubt those of you who are attending doctor appointments will know if you are seeing waiting times reduced. Let’s hope that is the case. I know from personal experience that waiting in local medical clinics for regular appointments is long. Not only does the patient become frustrated but no doubt the doctor is also equally stressed. With colds hitting many local residents hard, the 13 new GPs, taking the total from around 31 to 44 will be very busy. Next time I attend a doctor’s appointment I am willing to see any available doctor. Most of you will agree that there has been too much waiting in crowded medical practices over recent years. So we need to really embrace the international influx of doctors and make sure they stay in the region, so when we unfortunately become sick, there is someone to help sooner rather than later.

SAMI chair left ‘gobsmacked’ after basin plan meeting
Doctor shortage improves
SOUTH Australian Murray Irrigators chair Caren Martin was left “gobsmacked” after a draft basin plan briefing in Canberra last week. Along with several local irrigator chiefs, Ms Martin was invited to the nation’s capital for the briefing, which discussed the science and methodology behind the next release of the draft basin plan. “I hoped that a sensible and integral draft could prevail considering irrigation communities have waited patiently for the process to unfold,” she said. “After so much administration and interviewing of community members, the authority staff presented a scenario which had barely changed from the original draft.” Ms Martin said the socio-economic aspect had not been taken on board. “The socio-economic work was ideologically based and cringe-worthy in its assumption that a 30 per cent cut in the consumptive use of water would equate to only a two per cent decline in productivity, “ she said. “The errors assumptions and omissions were astounding.”
n new: Berri international doctor Ramakrishna Sakkera is one of 13 new doctors in the Riverland.
n From Page 1 “You might not get into the GP of your choice for four to six weeks because they are often booked out well in advance with an established patient base.” Riverlanders are being encouraged to embrace the international doctors which have come to the region’s aid during a time of GP shortages and long waiting periods for appointments. “There is benefits in having a family doctor and there are benefits from having a new set of eyes look
at your case,” Ms Marie said. “We certainly encourage people to give the new doctors a try, make them welcome to the region and get quick access to medical treatment when they require it. “We know that sometimes people find somebody from a different culture or a different language difficult to understand but these medical professionals have had the training, have learnt the language, are here to provide a service to our community and I think we need to support them
and encourage them to stay, so we actually have sufficient medical services here.” Berri Medical Clinic’s Ramakrishna Sakkera is one of the new faces to join the local medical workforce. After working in his home country of India, Mr Sakkera thought it was time for a change and accepted the role in the Riverland. He said the local communities have been very welcoming and like other international doctors in the region, Mr Sakkera plans to make
his stay long term. “I’m looking forward to working in the Riverland for a long time because it is a nice place to live in and nice place for the kids to grow,” he said. “The Riverland is like my home (town in India). “It (working in the Riverland) helps me to enhance my skills and no matter what, some things have to be learnt as a doctor.” Locals are encouraged to attend a welcome event for the new Riverland GPs on October 22 at the Barmera Playspace.
Calls for CCTV cameras on Berri street By BRAD PERRY PLANS to install closed circuit television cameras along illegal activity hotspots on Riverview Drive, in Berri, must be seriously considered to help prevent incidents in the area, according to a local business organisation. Berri District Business Association president Barry Phillips said there continues to be an alarming number of police reported incidents along Riverview Drive and at the bottom of Vaughan Terrace. In fact, during April to June this year, 44 of the 58 incidents in Berri reported by Riverland Police occurred along Riverview Drive. Examples of the incidents included thefts from premises, drink driving, road crashes, interfering with vehicles, serious
criminal trespass and assault. Mr Phillips said installing CCTV cameras at certain areas along Riverview Drive may catch people acting illegally. “Riverview Drive, with the river and the recreational use that is there, we certainly want
are certainly attending to...but you can’t patrol 24 hours a day. “We are hoping that additional CCTV, if and when it does come along, will help to curtail the high number of incidents that are happening in that vicinity.”
We are hoping that additional CCTV...will help curtail the high number of incidents. to have that well patronised and not being unused because of any incidents that may cause people to have concerns to venture there,” he said. “Our association wants all of the streets in Berri, Riverview Drive included, to be safe and a zone that people can, at any time, be able to frequent. “It’s something the police
The issue has been raised by the association previously and it is understood the Berri Barmera Council is aware of the request. However, Mr Phillips said action must be taken as soon as possible to prevent any more incidents near the popular riverfront street. “One of the main reasons
why our association is going down the path of trying to have additional CCTV installed in that bottom area is because of the amount of incidents and the type of incidents,” Mr Phillips said. “Cameras are there to film whatever activities are happening and it could be both a means of preventing and a means of following up on any incidents that may occur there. “Purely from a monitoring point of view, the footage would end up with the local police and it would be a means of curtailing. On the weekend, a 21-yearold Berri woman was arrested and charged with disorderly behaviour after she allegedly threw three glasses onto Riverview Drive, yelled and swore at persons in the area and threw a sign onto the roadway.

Teams turn out in droves for relay By BRAD PERRY RENEWED support for this year's Riverland Relay for Life has seen an increase in teams participating, with a total goal of raising over $50,000. Almost 20 teams will take part in Saturday's cancer fundraiser at Berri in a major show of support, after a lowly 12 participated last year. Riverland Relay for Life chairperson Briony Harrison said not only is the event raising money for a good cause but it unites the community. “Last year we raised about $48,000, just from the relay,” she said. “I hope we hit higher than last year but it gets the word out and a lot of people are startMORE+COMEDY PRESENTS

ing to learn a bit more about what the relay actually is now, that it's not just running for 20 hours. “I think it is very important to continue to raise funds for Cancer Council SA and it is a fun event and tops off everyone's hard work of fundraising.” Miss Harrison said there is a diverse range of age groups participating in this year's event. “The age groups are from one extreme to the other, we've got quite a few high school teams right up to a whole family of cancer survivors in their early 70s,” Miss Harrison said. The 19 participating teams have been holding fundraising events in the lead up to the Relay for Life and will be very colourful again this year. Krakajack Bowlers have held a dinner, bake-off, bingo night and bowls day in a bid to raise $4000 for the team “Nearly everybody you know has been touched by cancer (in some way),” captain 'Mickey' Voigt said. Teams are also being encouraged to register for next year's Relay for Life. “We really want to push to get teams registered for next year now because next year is the 10 year anniversary of the relay in the Riverland, so we want to make it pretty big,” Miss Harrison said.

By BRAD PERRY PROPERTY owners of more than 30 blocks in the Loxton Waikerie district are unable to be located, with a number likely to be returned to either government control or the local council. The owner of one of the properties was found to have passed away almost 80 years ago, with the “scrub land” remaining unused. It is understood the property formerly operated as a commmunity sheep dip and the former owner's

relatives have no interest in the land. There is also a number of blocks where owners cannot be found, with pieces of land in Paruna and Alawoona accruing unpaid rates. Loxton Waikerie Council corporate and community services director Ruth Firstbrook said rural land with unlocatable owners is not unusual. “I know it is something that all councils face,” she said. “Legally there is quite a process we have to go through to establish ownership or try and locate the owners. “To allow properties to be exempt from rates they either have to be located by council or the crown. “There is a section of the local government
act that, when the current valuation of the land is less than the amount of outstanding rates, council can apply to the Minister for land to be transferred to the crown or council.” Mrs Firstbrook said council has taken some action on “a small portion” of the 34 properties across the district where the current evaluation is less than the amount outstanding. She said the property where the owner passed away in the 1930s was a surprise to discover. “What council has done is it has written to the Minister of Crown Lands and asked the crown to take this property back, so then they don't acrrue rates,” Mrs Firstbrook said.

THE drought has officially ended but organisers of this year's Riverland Christmas Appeal are expecting a rise in demand for hampers. In its early planning stages, the appeal will need even more community support this year to service a growing need. Riverland Christmas Appeal Committee co-ordinator Cheryle Taylor said there is a real possibility hamper numbers will eclipse 550 given to the less fortunate during last year's campaign. “I think it's going to be another busy one for us again,” she said. “I don't think it's going to get any easier, every year it is just going to get harder and harder.” The committee is urging the Riverland to donate generously to help everyone celebrate Christmas. “We are really grateful for what businesses and people have donated in the past, it has been really excellent support,” Mrs Taylor said. “It's just our way of helping someone out on Christmas day. “Hopefully bringing smiles to children's faces with toys for them.” Donations of tinned food, new toys, Christmas cakes and puddings are just a small selection of the goods that can be given to allocated spots for the appeal around the Riverland. ■ APPEAL: Riverland Christmas Appeal Committee co-ordinator Cheryle Taylor is expecting a rise in Christmas hampers this year.

DESTINATION RIVERLAND
New board to assess tourism plan By BRAD PERRY A NUMBER of recommendations in consultant Norm White's Advance Tourism report on the Riverland's tourism future will be assessed by Destination Riverland in its inaugural meeting. Destination Riverland chief executive Tony Sharley said there are “a lot of things� to be taken from the report. “Norm has really flagged some areas where we need to become stronger,� he said. “One of those is in the online environment where the trend these days is for online bookings. “We need to make sure as many of our Riverland businesses that have accommodation, tours etc, are online bookable because we shouldn't think of ourselves as competing in a state market, we are actually competing as a region in a global marketplace. “I think there are a lot of things we can take out of (the report).� Mr Sharley said Mr White's report got the ball rolling to restructure the local industry.
“The Advance Tourism report is an initiative of the councils collaberating,� he said. “I think, again, that was an opportunity to have a bit of a stocktake and a review and have somebody involved in regional tourism who operates oustide our region to have a look at how we are performing. “At the end of the day, the report card, whilst it says we can be doing better, the bottom line is it also identifies the areas where we need to improve. “I think the board brings together a range of skills and they need to use those skills sets to evaluate the Advance Tourism report.� Destination Riverland will build on what the Riverland Tourism Association put in place, according to Mr Sharley. “The very first thing the new board has got to do is become very familiar with where the Riverland Tourism Association has taken tourism in the region,� Mr Sharley said. “There are foundations in place that we will obviously need to build on and respect.�

Stategic plan to ensure future beyond 2012 By BRAD PERRY DESTINATION Riverland will begin work on a development and strategic plan in the coming weeks with the board expected to conduct its first meeting within a fortnight. Heading the local tourism board is former South Australian tourism minister Joan Hall and she is hoping to increase visitor numbers to the region, which have been in decline in past years. “I certainly want to hear what the board members have to say but my objectives would be to put together a really interesting and exciting development and strategic plan that not only the members and the community of the Riverland are proud of, but that we can get some good results from as well,� she told the Riverland Weekly. “Given the quality and the iconic features of the Riverland, I don't think that should be too difficult. “I think it's a grand opportunity now to start looking forward to 2012 and beyond and set ourselves some
serious targets and make sure we meet them.� Ms Hall does not believe the region is “off the tourism map� and she hopes to turn around what has been a difficult time for the local tourism industry in recent years. “All of the tourism industry in Australia has had some pretty difficult times over the past few years and I think the Riverland has probably copped it a bit more than most and I really look forward to being part of the regeneration,� she said. “I just think, when you put together all of the challenges the whole of the industry has faced and the Riverland in particular, over the past few years, that people have forgotten that it's still a great destination. “With the right combination of marketing, advertising and a new focus, I hope, as a board, we can be part of rectifying that situation and putting it back where it should be.� Destination Riverland has secured a three year funding agreement
with the South Australian Tourism Commission but Ms Hall said many more funding partnerships will be formed. “It is very important to work with SATC but they are not the only funding body in Australia,� Ms Hall said. “I hope, if our plan is good enough, we can attract national funding, we can attract private funding from the tourism industry and hopefully use partnerships as one of our main objectives.� Ms Hall has an impressive resume, being responsible for the construction of the Adelaide Convention Centre and developing and managing major tourism events such as the Tour Down Under, Clipsal 500 and Tasting Australia. The remaining Destination Riverland board will consist of a wide range of expertise including Tony Sharley as chief executive, Amy Martinson, Brenton Pankhurst, Gary Pinnington, Peter Walker, Richard Fewster, Deb Alexander and Miriam Griffen.

Riverland’s male SSO shortage By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Riverland is following a South Australian trend with a shortage of male Student Services Officers (SSO) at local primary and high schools. Australian Education Union SA Branch president Correna Haythorpe said males involved in the education sector are hard to find. She said male SSOs may be rare due to the occupation not guaranteed as a permanent position at a school. “There are a number of key issues that face SSOs and the biggest one is casual employment,” Ms Haythorpe said. “If it means you can’t get a permanent position, it means you are unstable and not secure and that would probably be unattractive. “For many men, they want to provide a good income, particularly if they have families.” Ms Haythorpe said male SSOs provide a different aspect in the classroom and she said some local schools are fortunate to have male SSOs. “We do think it’s important to have a good gender balance in any aspect of education,” she said. “With teachers and also SSOs, we don’t think there is a difference between male and female with respect to the work. “Both genders bring different sets of skills and strategies.”
Ms Haythorpe said the work done by SSOs should not be underestimated. At Glossop High School, principal Bevin Brooks said the seven male SSOs employed, bring their own individual skills. “The ones we’ve got have a high level of competence,” he said. When Mr Brooks began teaching, there were no SSOs at all and said today, they are keeping schools alive. “The demands on schools are just increasing every year,” he said. “If we didn’t have those SSOs, we wouldn’t function.” Renmark North Primary School principal John Trobbiani said while the school only has three SSOs, a male worker is beneficial for “that role model influence”. “That’s got to be an advantage,” he said. “There are things that happen at school that male and females are going to be better suited for.” Mr Trobbiani agreed that SSOs bring their own skills, energy and personality to the job. “Having a balance of male and female can be a reflection on what people can expect when they come to school,” he said. “Not one (male and female) is better than the other.” ■ CONCERN: Australian Education Union SA Branch president Correna Haythorpe said there is a shortage of male SSOs across the state.
Over 50s to join senior citizens clubs By BRAD PERRY
Free Public Lecture at Flinders University Campus (adjacent the Renmark Hospital)
A NUMBER of Riverland and Mallee senior citizens clubs are considering changing titles to attract younger members. With some clubs struggling for numbers, several organisations have discussed changing regulations so residents over 50 can join. Berri Senior Citzens Club president Brian Schultz said the title senior citizens may be removed by some
clubs, while others across South Australia have already attracted over 50s to join. “There is a move afoot from some clubs to change to over 50s rather than senior citizens,” he said. “They don’t see themselves as seniors then.” Mr Schultz said member numbers are steady at Berri but he would like to see an increase. “We’re holding very well but we’re not improving like we should,”
Dr Billy Tao - Pediatric Allergist speaking on ‘A New Strategy for Treating Nut Allergies’
he said. If there are younger members in the senior citizens club, they may be able to help keep an eye on the older residents, according to Mr Schultz. “When you get older the ground comes up fairly quick and when you land there it is hard,” he said. “Especially for ladies. “It’s easy to break a hip.” Mr Schultz said senior citzens clubs across the region are a fantastic way to bond and create friendships.

Environment & Heritage Matters
FOUR new Aboriginal trainees recently commenced work with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as part of a 12 month Aboriginal Learning on Country (ALOC) program. DENR district ranger Ph Phil Strachan said workin ing with the strengths of Ab Aboriginal people, drawin ing upon their strong co connection to the land an and building capacity and le leadership within the Abor original community, are so some of the key objectives off the ALOC program. The project, based in the Riverland, will engage
Aboriginal participants in accredited conservation and land management training and provide them with practical hands-on learning. Mr Strachan said the four trainees will be stationed at the DENR Berri workshop for the duration of their traineeship. “They will work in and around the parks and reserves of the Riverland to undertake activities such as pest plant and animal control, park maintenance, Aboriginal site remediation works, revegetation and fencing works,” he said. “As part of the trainee-
ship, they will also undertake a broad range of land management related training, including Country Fire Service level one fire training, plant propagation and seed collection, operation of machinery and hand tools.” The program is funded by the Australian Government via the Caring for our Country initiative, and is a partnership between DENR, the SA Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board, MADEC employment and training, Mission Australia and Regional Development Australia.
Thursday October 6, 2011 – Riverland Weekly • 7 ■ ON YOUR BIKE: Loxton’s Hayden Wall has overcome many obstacles to continue doing what he loves; motorbike riding, including competing during the Finke Desert Race (below).
Living life to the fullest
WHEN doctors told Hayden Wall he was unlikely to ride his beloved motorbike again after a horrific accident, words could not describe his mental and physical pain. Two years ago the Loxton resident was involved in a skiing accident where he severely broke his pelvis and badly dislocated his leg. “My leg went right around the back of me and smashed the back of my pelvis off,” Hayden said. He went through a lengthy mental and physical recovery process following the accident. “It was very scary,” Hayden said. “I didn’t think I’d walk properly again and the doctors suggested it was a permanent injury and said you really wouldn’t want to be going and risking yourself with any sort of dangerous sport.” Despite doctor’s orders, Hayden never gave up his true passion, overcoming his demons and jumping back on his bike. “I didn’t truly believe it (that I could never ride again) for a start but when it did sink in I was pretty upset and I was down on everything, thinking that (riding) is
REPORT BY
BRAD PERRY something I love to do and that’s now gone,” Hayden said. “As time went on I did ride and that was when it was just absolute glee. “There are a lot of things I had to learn I can’t do again and luckily the dirt bike I can. “I still can’t actually sit on a chair straight, so I didn’t think I’d ever be able to sit on a motorbike bouncing around ever again but since I’ve managed to be able to do that, I just smile and I am happy I can. “I’ll keep racing and I’ll keep trail riding with my mates because that is one of my first loves.” Recently Hayden participated in one of the most gruelling races in Australia, the Finke Desert Race, passing almost 150 riders. “I kept the emotions at bay and kept the bike upright, just to make sure I trail rode it from the start line to the finish line,” he said. “It’s just a matter of keeping your head up and to keep on do-

ing what you love.” Racing in the big events gets Hayden’s adrenaline running, despite the risk of injury. “I can’t sit on the motorbike seat properly, so I have to sit a little bit sideways,” he said. “If I get a knock on my leg, all my abductor muscle gets strained very easily because it’s all scar tissue, so if I put my leg down on a motorbike and hit a rock, that’s the end of me, I can’t walk. “I can only handle half of a crash of what someone else can handle.” Hayden, who also likes adventure riding and has crossed the Simpson Desert, said he will continue to enjoy time on two wheels and will be back in the Finke Desert Race next year. “I will keep racing while I can...and soaking up that atmosphere and doing the big ones still,” he said. Everyday life is also affected by Hayden’s injuries but he has learnt to adapt, although he is unable to perform certain tasks. Overcoming his injuries has been an often frustrating process but Hayden now appreciates the little things because he knows life is too short.

Mallee milestone
n celebration: A colourful street parade took place in Karoonda on the weekend to mark the district’s 100 years. Photos: supplied OVER 4000 people attended the Karoonda East Murray district’s centenary celebrations on the weekend. Event organisers said many former and current residents attended the event, which included the opening of the new Railway Station Museum and Centenary Walk. Centenary committee chairperson Margaret Size said the response from the
community to the celebrations was very pleasing. “Everything went extremely well and everything was well attended,” Mrs Size said. Highlights of the event included the street parade, the unveiling of the centenary quilt, the Centenary Ball and a celebratory church service held at the original service site, under a tree in Wynarka.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No problems with Futures Fund CONTRARY to recent commentary, the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund – established only one year ago and with three more years to run – is delivering social and economic benefits to the region. Already a total of more than $2 million in funding has been awarded to seven local businesses, which will help generate around 40 or more jobs in horticulture, construction and engineering services. The funding injection by the State Government doubles the money coming into the Riverland from private investment. This fund was designed to stimulate local investment and generate a sense of strong ownership in the Riverland’s recovery. The Fund is, in brief, a hand-up, not a hand-out. Applications for projects are encouraged across five potential growth sectors identified by the Riverland Regional Prospectus, including pre-retirement and retirement living, value-added food and beverage processing, tourism, education and local business development. The Prospectus was put together by local people committed to the region’s future and identifies where public funds can be used for maximum social and economic benefit. As Minister, it is my duty to see that precious taxpayer resources are cleverly invested and the fund leverages opportunities for jobs and local growth. Clearly, proposals must be commercially viable and financially sustainable; this includes a rigorous process of scrutiny to assess an applicant’s ability to actually deliver on their proposal. I am assured that Regional Development Australia (RDA) Murraylands and Riverland is identifying, supporting and developing more project proposals in consultation with proponents, councils, industry and State Government agencies. I look forward to seeing further high-calibre applications in the near future. This $20 million fund has already started to produce impressive results. When visiting the successful applicants in Renmark and Loxton recently, I was struck by the great energy and enthusiasm with which they are grasping these
opportunities. I am impressed that the resilient spirit that has seen the Riverland deal with floods, droughts and global commodity changes over the last century is still strong. With this brilliant capacity in mind, I encourage businesses and industry to work together and submit new applications supporting innovative regional solutions and new business opportunities. Detailed information on the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund is available online at www.southaustralia.biz/rsff Gail Gago, South Australian Regional Development Minister.
NAPLAN results not everything AS OUR school communities and the media respond to the state’s NAPLAN results, I would like to respond also, as a teacher who has spent many years working in schools in country SA. NAPLAN is a very narrow, limited tool that is used by many to reflect on our children’s learning and abilities and the efforts and performance of our teachers and schools. There are many other considerations, particularly for our rural and regional school communities. Country schools provide excellent educational opportunities and support for students with an everwidening range of complex needs, often without the resources and support more readily available in the city. Students with disabilities or special learning needs, those with complex health or behavioural needs, are learning in mainstream classrooms in our schools. Our teachers, school leaders and SSOs do an amazing job catering for these students, often with very limited resources. Teachers in rural and regional SA do not have access to the same training and development opportunities as their city based colleagues. Many will travel to Adelaide or other regional centres, often in their own time, to access the professional development they require to maintain their skills and knowledge of new curriculum. Schools in country areas often have difficulty at-
tracting and retaining staff, including relief teachers. This has a large impact on current staff as they strive to provide a wide range of educational opportunities for their students. As information and communication technology plays an ever-increasing role in the education of our children, having fast, reliable internet and access to technical support become bigger issues for schools. Students have access to broader curriculum offerings through the use of ICT, however schools continue to suffer from poor resourcing in this area and ongoing technical issues. It has been my experience that schools and preschools in rural and regional areas often enjoy great parent and community support. This support is invaluable and reflects a keenness to be involved in the overall development of local young people and an understanding of the vital role that we all play in the school community. When schools and communities work together to support our young learners, we achieve many fantastic results not measured by NAPLAN. Jan Murphy, Address supplied.
Positive, uplifting entertainment FOR over 20 years, the Riverland Entertainers, under the leadership of Trevor Charity, have entertained the Loxton Gum Tree with an annual evening of song, dance and humour. The Loxton Gum Tree, in conjunction with the Berri Gum Tree, provides Riverland residents who have an intellectual disability with social activities including monthly discos, an indoor cricket season, games nights, Christmas and birthday celebrations. Last Friday, about 60 people, drawn from all Riverland towns, danced the night away to the music of the Riverland Entertainers at the Loxton Senior Citizen’s Hall. It was a privilege to be part of such a positive and uplifting evening where friendships are re-kindled, romances blossom and everyone is full of good humour. Warm thanks go to Trevor Charity and his band for providing us with this memorable evening. You are all true
champions. Lillian Mattner, Loxton.
Water allocation plan criticism SOME aspects of the Water Allocation Plan for The River Murray Prescribed Watercourse have the potential to detrimentally affect the sustainability of Riverland irrigated primary production and associated value-added industry. Basically, a water entitlement cannot be converted (on application of the holder) to become an entitlement of any other class. n Domestic water is for personal use. n Irrigation water for primary production and/or watering a crop or crops. n Industrial water use includes processing, or commercial. n Recreational water use includes watering of land for recreational purposes. Therefore; an irrigator must have an irrigation allocation for growing the primary production crop. n An industrial allocation if value adding onsite; a domestic allocation for personal use of workers, the irrigator and family members (if residing on the primary production property), with separate water supply infrastructure for each type of allocation, such that usage can be effectively measured. The water plan should be altered such that; an irrigator may use ‘irrigation class water’ for the purpose of domestic use in any domestic dwelling located on the associated primary production allotment and/or for domestic use of workers whilst on that allotment and also for processing/valueadding to the primary production enterprise, if the ‘industrial’ business is located on the primary production allotment. Given the stated plan requirement of not being able to convert the water allocation to another class, how is the following, which has occurred and/or is occurring, explained? A, irrigation class water being purchased and then used for environmental use and/or domestic use? B, the Loxton Waikerie Council accessing irrigation class water, via the Central Irrigation Trust infrastructure, then using it for recreational water use purposes? Tom Loffler, Waikerie.
The search for tug of war contenders By ZOE WATSON

RENMARK North Primary School has issued a tug of war challenge. Principal John Trobbiani has contacted primary schools around the region in a bid to establish a regional tug of war competition. In fact, the school already has a prize tro-
phy for the event. “We’re issuing a challenge to all Riverland primary schools, to put a team together, to challenge us for the tug of war trophy,” Mr Trobbiani said. “When they go to high school, they’ll be able to brag to everyone about that (winning the trophy). “The honour they bring to their school
will be enormous.” Mr Trobianni has high hopes for the inaugural competition, which will be held at the school’s continental fundraiser in November. “(There will be a) huge amount of spectators,” he said. “I can see that the crowd will be lined up five deep, cheering and yelling.”

RIVERLAND LOCAL ACTION PLANNING UPDATE ■ LIMITS: The RBLAP has recieved funding for a project to be carried out at Pike River
Welcome to the new Riverland Local Action Planning update AFTER several years of providing Riverland towns with individual LAP updates, the four Riverland LAP groups are now working together to bring you a new MONTHLY feature. Check out this space each month to find out what is happening in the world of community led environmental management right across the Riverland. We thought we would start by bringing you an introduction to the people who you may wish to contact if you need more information or want to become involved in any LAP projects or activities.
Berri Barmera LAP (BBLAP) Project Manager
Paul Stribley
PAUL moved to the Riverland 10 years ago to take up the position of project manager with the BBLAP Committee, having previously worked for Forestry SA. Since that time, he has worked closely with various aspects of the Riverland community, not only through the LAP and associated environmental projects, but also as a Riverland Football League umpire and active member of the Country Fire Service. He has seen significant changes to the NRM industry over the past 10 years and believes the challenges of securing ongoing funding in an ever changing political climate is the biggest issue that all LAP groups face. The beauty of LAPs is that they are driven by active community members, all of whom are committed to ensuring the natural environment of the Riverland is maintained and enhanced. The reward is seeing the pride people have when they see positive outcomes from all of their hard work.
Riverland West LAP (RWLAP) Project Officer j
Karen Bishop
BECOMING involved in a local wetland sparked the interest in environmental issues for Karen Bishop. As a member of the Ramco Wetland Management Group since its inception in 2003, she saw first hand how salinity impacted on the environ-
ment and how individuals could work together to make a difference. When the opportunity arose in 2006, she applied for and gained the position of project officer assistant with RWLAP. Over the next four years Karen not only managed the administration side of the office but took every opportunity to work alongside the project officer to gain hands on experience in natural resource management. This involved working with community groups, local schools, SAMDBNRM Board staff, attending workshops and training courses and drawing on local knowledge wherever possible. In 2010 the hard work paid off and Karen was promoted to project officer and she has never looked back. She welcomes anyone who is interested in becoming involved with any of the association’s projects to contact the office for a chat.
Renmark to the Border LAP (RBLAP) Community Engagement Co-ordinator
Anna McRae
New community project approved for the Pike THE Renmark to the Border Local Action Planning Association (RBLAP) recently received approval of a NRM Community Grant to the value of $29,600 for a project to be carried out at the Pike River. The project, called Sustainable water use of the Pike River anabranch will begin this month. The RBLAP, together with the Pike River Land Management Group (PRLMG), will be working with the Pike River community to set a sustainable diversion limit (SDL) for the Pike River to avoid over-extraction and a reduction in water quality, especially in the Lower Pike. RBLAP community engagement coordinator Anna McRae explains the importance of community involvement on this project. “This project is unique in that it is not often the community has so much control and influence over the process to come up with a sustainable diversion limit,” she said. “It was the community themselves who
identified the need to set a SDL to address the long term sustainability of their water resource. “It is their river and they have been fighting for its continued existence for quite some time now.” The community will be guided by recommendations from industry experts including hydrologists and ecologists. Although a separate project, this project will be incorporated into the current Pike Implementation Plan. The Plan already identifies the development of a sustainable diversion limit is part of a long term management option and is supported by the Department of Water, Department of Natural Resources and Environment, as well as the RBLAP and PRLMG. It is anticipated the outcomes of this project will be promoted by the community for inclusion in the next Water Allocation Plan.
Bookmark Creek walking trail receives welcome facelift THE Bookmark Creek Community Action Group has been working tirelessly over the past few months to bring what is known as the Wetland Walk back up to standard. Beginning on 21st Street, the 3.5 kilometre walk follows the flood bank through to Ral Ral Avenue and then returns following Bookmark Creek. Several working bees have been organised for volunteer members to assist with weed removal around dripper lines and to general tidy up. The group is very happy with the way the project is progressing. “It certainly is the best it has been looking for the past five or six years, at least,” Secretary David Showell said. In May, the group received a NRM Volunteer Small Grant to assist them with funding the costs of this project. Two more working bees are scheduled for the October 12 and 19. If you would like to get involved, please contact Tony Hersey 8595 3000 or the RBLAP office 8586 6633.
ANNA joined the RBLAP in August this year after relocating to the Riverland region back in 2010. Anna has held previous roles in communications, public relations and community engagement for organisations, including Sentek Technologies, the manufacturer of EnviroSCAN® technology and the International Centre of Excellence in Water Resource Management (ICE WaRM). Now living in Cooltong, Anna is passionate about the region and effectively engaging with local community groups to assist them in achieving their natural resource management goals. A large focus for Anna in the next 12 months will be working on the communications for the Pike Implementation Project (PIP). She looks forward to continuing to meet more community members and hearing their stories, all of which are unique, and have assisted her in gaining a better understanding of the history of the area.

Working with the community to support the local environment
Works commence at Martin Bend AFTER several years of planning and 12 months of waiting for water levels to recede, the Berri Barmera LAP Committee has finally commenced work to remove reeds and silt blocking in the inlet creek to the Martin Bend wetland, and replace the existing flow control regulator. The underlying reason for this replacement is the base of the existing structure sits slightly higher than river pool level, thus during the eight years of low river flow, no fresh water was able to enter the wetland. This has resulted in significant salinisation of the wetland, through the loss of the layer of fresh water which normally sits above the underlying saline water table and the subsequent death of many trees surrounding the wetland. This work will continue for another week or so and we urge people using the walking trail through the wetland at this time, to be mindful of trucks and machinery which may be operating. For further information, please contact Paul Stribley at the Berri Barmera LAP office on 8582 2183.

Waikerie Youth Environment Team gets its hands dirty TEN members of the Waikerie Primary School Youth Environment Team (YET) recently participated in a propagation workshop at the DC Loxton Waikerie nursery. Local native plant enthusiast Darren Schmitke worked with the team to plant almost 1000 tubes of seeds and cuttings. Over 500 river box are heading for Calperum Station with the remainder being grown for a street stall to be held in April 2012. Proceeds from the street stall will be used to resupply the nursery with soil, fertiliser and the purchase of seed for future propagation events. For further information, please contact Karen Bishop at the Riverland West LAP office on 8584 2611.
RIVERLAND West LAP has received funding for the third consecutive year for their Young Irrigator Group. Originally formed in 2009, the objective was to establish a group of young irrigators with a focus on community engagement, aimed at increasing knowledge and skills, together with information sharing and enhanced networks among sustainable farming groups and NRM bodies. Since 2009 nine trial sites have been established under the Young Irrigator Project to examine the interaction of irrigation events, depth of irrigation and soil salinity values. This has been achieved through the combined installation of capacitance probes (which enable evaluations of irrigated depth) and soil solute extraction equipment (which enables ongoing soil water extraction to occur). Sampling of irrigated soil water has been compared to reference charts and risks to crop yield decline and soil salinisation has been evaluated. The results of these trials have shown that soil solute equipment can provide cutting edge decision making capacity in times of drought restriction and provide further surety around the effectiveness of both leaching irrigation potential and the effectiveness of rainfall. In 2011, two of the previously installed nine trial sites have been selected to participate in a specific trial to further look at the behaviour of nitrogen in irrigated soil profiles, through the same method of soil
extraction but through the utilisation of firstly laboratory testing and then field testing of nitrogen presence. The aim of this project is to track the depth nitrogenous compounds reach in irrigated soils. It is hoped that the nutrient use efficiency can be improved at both sites through identifying the depth that these concentrations reach in response to irrigation decision making. Thus prolonging the time that crops

MENTAL Health Week is an important event on the local calendar, running from October 9 to 15, aiming to raise awareness about the impacts on people experiencing a mental illness. South Australia’s Chief Psychiatrist Margaret Honeyman said the impact of stigma and discrimination on people experiencing a mental illness must be highlighted. “Discrimination of people experiencing mental illness should not be tolerated as everyone deserves the same respect,� Dr Honeyman said. “Stigma and discrimination are amongst the biggest barriers that people face when they’re recovering from a mental illness and it’s an extra burden that they don’t need. “Increased public understanding can combat discrimination and dispel the myths surrounding mental illness, which can make it easier for people to talk about their illness and seek treatment. “We can make a real dif-

Breaking the silence around suicide in the community (nosecret.org.au) with information and resources, including stories of suicide survivors and affected families. We hope that these stories of grief, hope and courage will help others find healing. As part of this campaign, the church is hosting a series of rememberance services around the state to enable those affected by suicide to remember, to grieve and to find hope and help amidst their darkness. We will be holding a service at the Berri riverfront at 5.30pm on Monday, as a closing event to the Mental Health Expo. The service will provide reflection on the presence and support which God offers in our grief and centres around a time of candle lighting, where families and friends may light a candle in memory of someone they have lost to suicide. Candles will be provided but you may choose to bring a candle of your own to light. There will be people available to talk with you should you wish to do so. Let’s get the message out that hope exists and that suicide no longer needs to be a secret.
By Berri Barmera Uniting Churches Minister Rob Stoner SOMETIMES the downward spiral of depression leads a person to the ultimate act of despair, the taking of their own life. Suicide is an ugly word and it has ugly effects on the family and friends of those who choose this ending to life. Those left behind often feel shame and guilt that they did not prevent the suicide from happening. There may be community stigma which isolates those who are grieving and prevents them from seeking appropriate help. Suicide is an unfortunate reality in our community but conversation about this issue is as soft as a whisper. It’s treated as a secret. The Uniting Church believes that it is time to break the silence around suicide in our community. We believe that healthy and responsible discussion about suicide is a key to bringing healing and hope, breaking down the stigma and shame felt by those affected. The Uniting Church is running a campaign called Suicide: It’s No Secret. We have established a website

FOOT HEALTH MONTH
Putting your best foot forward M
ANY people often underestimate the importance feet play in their body’s overall health. A number of lower body related injuries can often be related to your feet and during a fitness regime, it is vital to have the correct equipment and advice to ensure your overall health. Barefoot Podiatry senior podiatrist Michael Nitschke has been operating a part time clinic in Loxton since 2008 and he deals with many lower body problems. “Its predominant focus looks at working on lower limb biomechanics and injuries of foot related structures, children’s development and postural alignment between the ages of 0 and 15 during the growing years, growth related problems and general podiatry,” he said. “Many cases in Loxton I see are mechanical, such as sporting injuries, hip pain, knee pain, shin pain, overuse type injuries, as well as general podiatry and trying to work out what’s causing the problem and how to fix it.” For National Foot Health Week in 2009, a case study by Mr Nitschke was chosen as a promotion for podiatry nationwide. “(It was) in regards to a client I had who had stress fractures of the shin and a lot of it was to do with the way he was moving, the
way he was running and his technique, so we did a lot of alterations with his feet, his legs and his technique,” Mr Nitschke said. “He was almost ready to quit the sport and he didn’t realise podiatry can play that sort of role in what he was experiencing. “Once we fixed him up, within three or four months...he moved into running and nine months later, he went on to win the world junior title in the triathlon in his third triathlon.” Mr Nitschke said regular check-ups of your feet are essential to maintain good foot health. “If you have a sore spot on the base of your foot, or a sore spot in the lower limb, it doesn’t hurt to get it checked out and if you have an acute injury, prevent it from becoming a chronic injury,” he said. “If you get it checked early on, there is a fair chance it is going to be an easier, or shorter treatment regime, than what it is if you let it go for a while. “The foot is the site in which a lot of other pathological injuries can occur from.” Correct footwear is also essential in everyday life and in particular, when you exercise. “The right sized fitting footwear is important,” Mr Nitschke said. “Maintaining good flexibility and mobility of the

lower limb can definitely decrease the risk of lower limb injuries and there is good evidence of that as well.” Australian rules football is an example of a demanding sport on your feet and Mr Nitschke said correct processes must be followed to help prevent injuries. “You will find in the pre-season of football, that is when you start to see a lot of injuries come through because running tends to highlight a lot of the biomechanical issues,” he said. “You will tend to eliminate the injuries by approaching the initial problem of the mechanics. “In football, during the season it is a maintenance thing and trying to deal with alignment.” Mr Nitschke said there are many benefits of regular exercise. ”Walking involves predominantly the lower limbs, thus that is where the weight goes through the body and if the lower limbs are not mechanically functioning correctly, this may be a common cause as to why people can develop pain in the foot and lower limbs,” he said. “This is why education on footwear and education on foot posture and techniques and walking and types of training become quite useful, so people can keep walking day to day pain free.”

Foot factor WITH October being Australian Foot Health Month, it is a time to reflect on the role your feet play. According to Podiatry SA, feet are often the most neglected and forgotten part of the human body. Research has shown that people are more likely to have serviced their car than to have had their feet checked by a podiatrist. Yet, our feet are our main mode of transport, carrying us on a journey of 128,000 kilometres in a lifetime.
Why do feet need specialist care? FEET are complex, as they house a quarter of the bones in the body, as well as a network of muscles, ligaments and joints. They are also vulnerable to injury and disease; there are over three hundred identified foot ailments. Feet suffer wear and by the age of 50, they have lost up to half of the shock-absorbing capability of the natural foot pad. The natural foot pad cannot be replaced like a pair of shoes. Some feet have special needs such as children’s feet, sporting feet, working feet, mature feet and feet affected by disease.
Children’s feet YOUNG feet are still forming and are quite fragile. They can be damaged easily by shoes and socks that are too small. Early examination of children’s feet is a preventative measure. Uneven shoe wear, skin rashes, lumps or bumps on the feet, pain in the feet or legs and frequent tripping and falling are signs of potential problems.
Sporting activity WALKING, running and jumping places greater physical demand on the body than normal day-to-day activities. While running, your feet can absorb up to three times your body weight. Not surprisingly, injuries to the foot and lower limb make up a large proportion of sporting injuries. Podiatrists understand the structure and movement of the foot. Therefore, they can diagnose foot conditions, recommend appropriate footwear and training regimes.
Working feet WORKERS can cover as many as 23 kilometres in a day, as well as absorbing heavy loads associated with walking, lifting, running and jumping on and off machinery or in and out of cars.
Nearly 20 per cent of all workplace injury claims relate to injuries to the feet and toes and research has shown that workplace foot problems, including those related to ill-fitting or inappropriate footwear, are common.
Mature feet BY the time we reach the age of 50, our feet have covered 86,000 kilometres, making them more prone to injury and disease. Clinical studies show that by 50, we are 80 per cent more likely to develop arthritis in the foot and ankle as well as being 100 per cent more likely to develop toe and joint deformities. People with diabetes are at a greater risk of developing serious foot problems because they are more likely to experience reduced blood circulation and nerve degeneration in their feet and legs, causing a decreased ability to fight infection. All these factors contribute to a reduced ability to heal wounds. Regular visual foot checks are vital for foot health and Diabetes Australia recommends that people with diabetes see a podiatrist at least once every 12 months.
Foot Pain ‘MY feet are killing me’ is a common cry, yet research shows that only a fraction of those suffering from sore feet seek professional help. A common misconception is that sore feet are normal; they are not. Just as you would visit your dentist for a toothache, you should visit a podiatrist if you suffer from sore or tired feet. Your podiatrist is qualified to identify and treat the cause of your foot pain, which could occur due to problems with biomechanics (structure of the foot), inappropriate footwear, growths (corns, calluses), disease (diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis), infection (tinea), or injury. Foot pain can also be a sign of systemic disease. For example, 20 per cent of cases of rheumatoid arthritis and 35 per cent of stress fractures occur in the feet.
EVERY day, every diabetic must check his or her feet. This is because some diabetics cannot feel well with their feet and as a result may not feel an injury. Every diabetic must check their feet for injury at least once every day. Check for cuts, blisters, sores, infections, red areas, and open cracks around heels or toes.

RENMARK ROSE FESTIVAL
Rosey outlook for festival THE 17th Renmark Rose Festival is expected to attract thousands of people to the region as local gardners prepare to display their traditional October colours. With the festival taking on a new approach spanning right across the Riverland this year, Rose Festival Committee vice chairperson Shann Hausler said there is something for everyone. “Flowers always give people hope, joy and brightness and I think even if you are having a tough time, to see flowers and arrangements... will raise everybody’s spirits, as well as adding some much needed dollars to local coffers and local people,” she said. Generous winter rains combined with ideal growing conditions have stimulated rose bushes across the region to prepare for a floral display rarely seen anywhere in the world. “Like the wild flowers in outback Australia, when everything comes together just right the display can be truly remarkable,” Festival chairwoman Miriam McLean said. From humble beginnings 17 years ago, in David Ruston’s Renmark rose garden, the Renmark Rose Festival this year has expanded to take in nearly all towns across the Riverland. Having grown to become the Riverland’s largest annual event, the 10 day Festival will this year see activities in Winkie, Cobdogla, Loxton, Paringa, Lyrup, Lyrup Heights, Berri and Barmera. “While roses are the prime focus of the Festival, the diversity of functions, activities and displays has seen the program grow to over 50 separate events spread across the Riverland Festival,” Mrs McLean said. “We know from past years that people travel from around the world to witness the rose spectacle which has spread across the region.”
Festival opening A CARNIVAL atmosphere will help kick off the festival this year, with a fair and official opening taking place in Renmark on October 15. Held in the Jarrett Memorial Gardens on James Avenue, there will be a number of craft and food stalls to browse with more than 40 already booked, while a cooked breakfast is being provided by the Renmark Lions Club. Stop and listen to the Riverland Brass Band, while morning tea is being served by the Renmark

Renmark’s Rose AFTER winning a bronze medal at last year’s Australian trials for new releases in Adelaide, the Renmark Rose will officially become a permanent fixture in the Riverland. The rich, deep apricot, rose chosen for it’s colour because of the apricots and oranges grown in the region, will be given its own bed in Renmark. “I think it’s a wonderful thing for Renmark to have a rose named after it, it’s really superb,” Festival Committee vice chairperson Shann Hausler said. “David Ruston has organised with the Renmark Paringa council for a bed of these roses to be made up in Renmark, so they will be on display and Renmark will be really proud of that rose that’s named after them.” Limited numbers of the potted rose will be sold during the Rose
Festival, with orders being taken for 2012.
Attractions WITH 18 open gardens across Renmark and Lyrup, those in attendance at the annual festival will witness some stunning home gardens. The drought has lifted and so have spirits when it comes to gardening, only benefiting this year’s festival. There are so many events at the rose festival with some of the main attractions being a cabaret dinner, a flower arranging and light luncheon at the Renmark Hotel, a mystery bus tour, quilting exhibition, a Once Upon a Time fairytale showcase at the Renmark Institute and a number of art galleries are also open, to name a few. “Miriam McLean, our acting chairperson, has done a superb job behind the scenes in promoting the event,” Mrs Hausler said. “In addition to being the home of the National Rose Collection of Australia, Renmark and the River-

land have also become well established as the rose capital of Australia,” Mrs McLen added. “While roses are obviously the core attraction of the festival, the wide diversity of other activities that have been included in the program has significantly broadened the appeal of the event and attracted more visitors. “Attractions this year will range from the highly popular open gardens program, which has already seen 18 gardens registered, to art exhibitions, a cabaret, Greek Taverna, a scarecrow competition, flower arranging, quilting displays, a garden party, cake decorating demonstration, woodwork exhibition and mystery tours to a giant garage sale and many more attractions.” Following the success last year of moving the official opening of the festival to the town’s Jarret Memorial Gardens, a similar format will be followed this year and will include a village style market. Again a major highlight of the festival is a display of flower arrangements featuring the Renmark Rose.
The theme for the 2011 event is ‘Fairy Tales, Nursery Rhymes and Flowers’. The display is being held in the Renmark Institute at the beginning of the Rose Festival. Mrs McLean said the Renmark Rose Festival started in 1995 and has continued each year in Spring when the roses and gardens of Renmark are at their best. “The Festival was the brain child of the late Eithna Sidhu, who approached a group of locals to help organise the event,” she said. “A committee of volunteers have continued to work each year to produce this festival and are very grateful for the support of the local council and other local sponsors.” Another major highlight of the program this year will be the Renmark town centre garden walk, which will feature the extensive and expanded collection of roses that has been established. “With the return to near normal water supply conditions, we expect to see one of the most spectacular displays of roses in the event’s history”, Mrs McLean said.

Contact Sue Schultz at the Loxton Waikerie Council on 8584 8000 if you require any further information, about events in the district.
AMONGST the uncertainties confronting those who are about to retire and those approaching retirement, there is concerns about assets and the costs of residential care. It has often been the case in the past that retirees have had to sell the family home in order to fund aged care. In a strange anomaly, those who have been in a residential care facility as a low care resident, have been obliged to pay accommodation bonds that are almost equal to the value of their house. Anyone with net assets (including a house) below $31,500 are exempt from paying but there is a graduated scale thereafter. For example, someone with assets of $150,000 would be asked to pay $120,000. For many people, that means selling the family home. High care residents on the other hand, are often not obliged to pay an accommodation bond but they do pay a higher daily accommodation fee. From July 1, 2005, accommodation bonds were not regarded as assets in calculating whether or not a retiree is entitled to a full pension. The Productivity Commission recently proposed radical changes
to the funding of aged care packages. Fire sales of the family home to pay huge accommodation bonds for aged care places are proposed to be a thing of the past. Older people will be able to use equity from their own home to fund aged care places through a form of Government backed reverse mortgage, if the Productivity Commission proposals are adopted. On a means tested basis, those with substantial assets would be required to contribute up to 25 per cent of the cost of aged care services to a limit of $60,000. Presently one million people access aged care services and those services vary from residential care in an aged care facility to home care packages. That figure is estimated to reach 3.5 million by 2050 as baby boomers move into old age. It is hoped some of the reforms proposed by the Productivity Commission will be promptly adopted and alleviate many of the worries that seniors currently have as they look to access aged care services. Reverse mortgages would mean that accommodation bonds could be raised without the necessity of selling the family home. That is an option that is certain to be taken up by many.

Young farmers The wonders of the universe return home By ZOE WATSON WITH younger farmers increasingly returning home to the family farm, Mallee Sustainable Farming has secured over $40,000 in Federal Government funding to establish a Young Farmers Network in the South Australian Mallee. Rural Solutions Farming Systems Consultant Tamara Rohrlach said the network was about uniting young farmers. “When we had the Mallee Mentors program last year it was really obvious a lot of young farmers in the area didn’t know each other,â€? she said. Ms Rohrlach said younger farmers had lost contact with others in the area after being absent from the farm due to the drought. “After a few good seasons there’s more of an opportunity for younger guys to come home‌because there was enough income to support more than one person,â€? she said. “The idea (of the network) was to give them unity, so they knew who else was around, so they could use them as a communication and support network leading into the future.â€? According to Ms Rohrlach, the network will be an opportunity for young farmers to share knowledge and develop their farming techniques. “A lot of the time‌there is so much
THE universe is filled with strange phenomenon’s - weird, unexplainable things that puzzle even scientists. Black holes are one of them. I began researching these holes for a science project and I thought there is so much more to it than meets the eye. Black holes are very strange things. Have you ever actually considered what a black hole is and how it formed? Well, they are collapsed stars that have reached the end of their life cycle. Then the star goes through a supernova explosion, and after that, breaks down by its weight in gravity. Complicated. After a period of time, it creates a strong, gravitational pull. We all know the old, ‘black holes suck up everything’ saying. That is actually pretty much correct. Although a black hole cannot consume the whole universe, it can swallow everything else - even light. Are you still thinking black holes are like a funnel? You’re wrong. They are actually a spherical shape.
work to do on farms these days, there’s no doubting that, and so placing the importance on your own education is not quite as much there as it needs to be,� she said. “The number one asset or profit driver for any business is your own knowledge, so if you’re not out there learning how to make your business more profitable, your profit drives aren’t going to be as big.� Ms Rohrlach said there has been a positive response to the project, which benefits participants.
After a few good season there’s more of an opportunity for younger guys to come home.
“I think it’s really important that young farmers encourage each other to be involved,� she said. By registering as a young mallee farmer, producers will automatically become a member of the Mallee Sustainable Farming group and will have access to networking details and event updates.

Or perhaps floating in nothingness with all this stuff the black hole has sucked up with you. But amazingly, no one has ever been that unlucky. This is the coolest fact about them so far. Guess what? Black holes can suck up other black holes. Although it is rare, it’s possible. The bigger black hole swallows the smaller one. The nearest black hole to Earth is eight thousand light years away. Phew! Let’s hope it stays that way.
Black holes are also impossible to see by the naked eye. These mysterious objects are also interestingly odd. The next few facts surprised even me. Do you know there are fourteen known black holes in our galaxy? Beats me how they can count them. As black holes get older, they gain more mass. Understandable, but kind of strange too. And to think no one knows what is inside a black hole. Well, duh. If you were inside a black

Sun shines on this year’s Loxton Show By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Loxton Show has again been hailed a success following two days of fine weather and strong crowds. While initial estimates revealed the crowd was around the same figure as last year, the Sunday and Monday event attracted many locals and visitors. From whip cracking to a range of rides and competition exhibits, the Loxton Show again had something to offer for the whole family.
Loxton Show Committee president Bill Shannon said crowd figures on the first day appeared to be higher than last year, while Monday had an average attendance. He said the weather was perfect for the event. “There was rough weather leading up to the show (but) things went really well,” he said. With many attractions over the two days, Mr Shannon said there was no individual highlight but instead it was an all round successful
show. Mr Shannon said the positive feedback from the show offers an exciting build-up to next year’s event. “We have a report back meeting in a fortnight’s time,” he said. “The management committee and convenors all get together to discuss how it went. “We listen to a lot of feedback and we write all those things down and see what we can improve on for next year. “The entertainment’s always different.”
■ COMPETITION: Admiring the impressive Loxton Show citrus entries were (from left) Margaret Davis, of Adelaide, Howard Hendrick, of Loxton, and Geoff Davis, of Adelaide.
■S SMILES: Maureen and Norm Simon, of Be enjoying the Berri, perf weather at the perfect Lo Loxton Show, while (left an entry into the (left) scar scarecrow competition.
■ FUN: Jesse, Angela and Kasey Rowe, 9, of Loxton North admire exhibits at the Loxton Show.

Y with BRAD PERR
All-star Australian cast set to dazzle Chaffey Theatre
Psychic abilities
Stage show summed up by tears and laughter AUSTRALIAN stage performance The Sum of Us will take place at the Chaffey Theatre in Renmark on November 5. Riverland Weekly editor Brad Perry spoke to actor Patrick Harvey about his lead role and how audiences across Australia have responded to the show. Brad: How did you get involved in The Sum of Us? Patrick: I just went through the normal process that every other actor goes through. I had my audition and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gone through about three of them and I was told I had the part and this was last March. After six months of touring Australia, the script itself is a fantastic script, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for everyone involved, the audience, as well as the cast. B: What do you look forward to most about performing in The Sum of Us? P: There are so many things, I just really enjoy working as well. I really enjoy being on stage and putting on a show for people but of course, moving around so often really keeps the show fresh for us and it really keeps it fresh for the audience. All of us get along really well and with the boys we go for nice long drives and climb up mountains, do boy stuff and have a ball doing it and then we get to do a show that night, then get up the next day, move onto the next place and do the same thing over again. B: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it like working alongside such a great Aussie cast? P: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, it really is. I usually take the mickey that I am tired of working with John (Jar-
Movie of the week Ghost Writer
â&#x2013; BOND: John Jarratt, who plays Harry, and Patrick Harvey, who plays his son Jeff, in The Sum of Us have formed a bond both on and off the stage, which adds to the emotional rollercoaster of the play. ratt) but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lie, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great bloke and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic performer. We get along really well and did from the word go and for us to play father and son that really comes in handy. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff that happened in the show that we never even rehearsed it to happen, it just happened naturally. We really work in sync with each which is really good, especially being on the road with each other for six months. B: How did you go adapting to your character in the play? P: I suppose the biggest challenge with it, there is a number of monologues that I do and there is a lot of humour in this show but then again there is a lot of heart as well. Especially the second monologue I do is quite emotional for myself to say it as well. I usually end up getting pretty teary while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m
doing it but at the same time thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedy in there. You are mixing the two, you are sort of in tears but you are cracking jokes and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very strange. B: What is it like working with John Jarratt? P: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun but you never know what he is going to do, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unpredictable sometimes. That in itself is not a challenge it is actually quite fun and it really keeps the show fresh for us. B: Have you been to Renmark or the Riverland before? P: No. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to Adelaide before but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been (to the Riverland). B: How did you go adapting from screen to stage? P: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been acting since I was nine years old so I started out on stage and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done three Melbourne Comedy Festivals,
theatre, as well as a play that a friend of mine and I just wrote and produced together. I did a play in London in the West End. If anything, some theatre companies have to be quite big but this play, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a naturalistic sort of pace and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very intimate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all set in a living room. B: This play has been adapted as a film starring Russell Crowe, are you making your own mark with the stage version? P: I tend not to do that or think about that at all. Every actor will interpret a scene or a script in a very different way. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen the film myself in a very, very long time, nor has any (of the cast) really, so we just made it our own. John is going to rent it as soon as we finish the show, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to watching it after.
CD of the week Radiosurgery New Found Glory FRESH on the shelves, New Found Gloryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest effort stays true to its roots. Yes, you may wonder why grown men are still singing about break-ups but NFG rock out some strong choruses and punchy tunes in its unique pop punk style. Glad to see the band has not slowed down.
Book of the week THIS 1953 novel by famous author Raymond Chandler has been classed as one of his best. Detective Philip Marlowe gets caught up in a murder where, despite the evidence pointing in one direction, there are many suspects. A book you will not put down.
Sudoku 1
the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for their efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They both had only basic sewing skills, so to finish the garments they did, at the level they did, they did really well,â&#x20AC;? she said. Miss McAllister said it was a rewarding experience for the two young girls, who held their own amongst tough competition.
EWAN McGregor has rarely produced a bad film and Ghost Writer is another film starring him worth watching. A ghost writer uncovers much more than he bargained for when he is hired to shadow a former UK Prime Minister for a book. There is some edge-ofyour-seat scenes but where this film goes wrong is its predictable plot.
The Long Goodbye Raymond Chandler
Students show fashion passion TWO Loxton High Year eight students took their fashion creations to the APEX Teenage Fashion Awards in Adelaide recently, competing against entrants many years their senior. Cieayn Wild and Brianna Webber, who designed and produced their entries, took to the catwalk against predominately Year 11 and 12 students. Cieayn entered both a chiffon dress and satin gown with flower appliquĂŠ into the formal and artistic categories respectively, while Briannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purple dress with mesh overlay was an entry in the formal category. Loxton High home economics teacher Janine McAllister, who assisted the girls, commended
RATINGS make the television world go round. Without viewers, programs slowly slip into later time slots and before you know it, those irritatingly lengthy fitness adverts are taking over the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time slot. So why is it The Renovators have been given continued airtime? The program ratings have continually been low, only eclipsed by a poor new season audience for Junior MasterChef. What a surprise. Channel Ten seems to be struggling in the reality sector, while Channel Seven has gone in for the kill with the introduction of the risky reality show involving psychics. People will either hate it or love it. I wonder if the psychics can predict the ratings?

Game of the week Turning Point Fall of Liberty, PS3 IT is hard to compete in a genre where some of the best titles are being produced. Turning Point is a poor adaption of a war story based on Winston Churchill being hit by a taxi and what may have happened if he did not survive. The gameplay is awkward to say the least, with the controls so frustrating you will consider snapping the game in half.

Scotty v Jason in SANFL final By CALLUM TRIFONOFF FORMER Loxton North sensation Scott Lewis may have missed out on the Panthers' 2011 Riverland Football League premiership success but he has the chance to complete his own fairy tale finish to his season this Sunday. The former Panther will run out for Woodville-West Torrens in the South Australian National Football League grand final against Central District. After polling 10 votes in the Magarey Medal, Lewis said a premiership would be the perfect way to finish an enjoyable year in green, gold and blue. “I was hoping to have a year similar to last year but I've got a bit more attention this year, I've been tagged a fair bit,” he said. “As a team, (this year's been) fantastic. “There's been a couple of glitches in the season but we've played some good footy.” Lewis is quietly confident of victory against the Bulldogs, despite the northern suburbs’ team having
dominated recent SANFL history, appearing in every grand final since 2000, winning all but two of them. “We've got a lot of good players but playing Centrals is always nerve-wracking,” Lewis said. “We've played them two or three times and it's only been a couple of kicks each time.” After winning premierships at under 17, 19 (West Adelaide) and reserve level (Glenelg) in the SANFL, Lewis will be hoping to win a league medal. Meanwhile, appearing for the opposition will be former Berri premiership ruckman Jason Sutherland. The big man played in Central District's 2010 premiership success over Norwood and said it will be much more sweeter the second time around as it is is his first full season with the Bulldogs. “It's a whole lot more special because I've bonded (more) with the boys and we've got around each other,” he said.

Even at 84, master Ted just keeps rowing on By BRAD PERRY RENMARK'S Ted James has every intention of rowing as long as he can. The 84-year-old will head to the Australian Masters Games in Adelaide this week as the Riverland's oldest entrant. The Renmark Rowing Club member, who previously competed at many events including the World Masters Games, just enjoys being able to keep fit and be involved with the sport. In fact he hopes to be competing at the age of 100. “You don't give up,” he said. “You've got to keep your brain and your body in trim.” James said the experience is what makes attend-
ing the Masters Games so important. “If we win a medal, we win a medal, if we don't we've been there,” he said. “I say to a lot of kids, 'winning is nice but the main thing is being there'.” Turning 85 years of age later this year, James does not consider himself lucky to be able to continue to compete in his chosen sport. Instead he is encouraging the Riverland's younger generation to come and join him rowing on the River Murray. “We had a good bunch and then of course, they get a bit older and hockey comes in,” James said. “There are 60 odd sports in the Riverland. “It's (rowing) one of the most popular in Austra-
lia as far as girls go and all the colleges and top high schools in the cities are very strong.” Meanwhile, the Berri Rowing Club will also feature four rowers at the Australian Masters Games. Mary Heuzenroeder, Sue Skinner, Ayleen Phillips and Paul Othams will take up the challenge on the waters at West Lakes. “There's 131 races over the three days and we have nominated for about 15 or 16,” Othams said. “After two or three one kilometre races a day, you want to go home and crash. “There's lots of sports people like us can't do but rowing is one we can. “I can still row and hopefully I can still row by the time I'm in my 70s or 80s.”

Bright young star shines in debut A grade soccer season By CALLUM TRIFONOFF
■ SKILL: Barmera United soccer ace Josh Ekisa has proven his worth at A grade level at just 14 years of age. Photo: CALLUM TRIFONOFF
ONE of the Riverland's brightest young stars in local sport is Barmera United's 14-year-old soccer player Josh Ekisa. Following from a mid-season A grade goal with Barmera Dev Estate against Loxton United, Ekisa was rewarded with the rare achievement of playing in a cup winning team recently. Despite being an unused substitute in Dev Estate's Top Four Cup success against Renmark Olympic, Ekisa was rewarded with a medal which he was thrilled to get. After scoring in a side with the likes of Martin Barber and Anthony Ielasi in attack, it shows Ekisa can go far in soccer. Having recently been
zoned by the 2011 Football Federation of South Australia State Talent Identification Program, the young star said it is one small step towards a dream career with his favourite club Chelsea. “I hope to go the whole way and play in the (English Premier League),” Ekisa said. “I love Chelsea and I love the way they play soccer.” Ekisa said some of his biggest soccer influences include Chelsea's Didier Drogba and Michael Essien and Real Madrid's Kaká. The young talent was a reliable squad player for Kevin Barber Snr's Dev Estate and a first-teamer for Theo Gaitantzis' Barmera Gold (as he is a junior, Ekisa is eligible to play for both Barmera A grade teams).
Ekisa feels he has come a long way since first arriving at the club as an 11-year-old with lots to learn. “The whole club has helped me along the way,” Ekisa said. “It has helped me get lifts to and from training and to games.” Ekisa said he cannot pick his proudest moment in Barmera colours as there are too many to count. “Every game for me is a good game,” he said. “I enjoy being with my friends on the soccer field.” His first A grade goal was something of a monkey off his back, having recently had two goals in one game disallowed. “That was great,” Ekisa said. “I was just happy I scored an A grade goal.”

Bernie creates history By CALLUM TRIFONOFF
■ FOOTY FAN: Bernadette Hoffmann has become the first woman to umpire in the Riverland Football League.
CREATING history as the first local female to umpire in the Riverland Football League, Bernadette Hoffmann has gained much respect and is already looking forward to next season. Hoffmann became involved with football umpiring this year after her son Jasper took up the game. Since then, Hoffmann um-
pired a number of RFL and Independent junior games. “It took a little bit of adjusting because of the age ranges but they met me with respect and I treated them with respect too,” she said. “When I umpired my first under 18 game, I umpired with two senior umpires, Mike Horsman and Tony Florance and they were magnificent in giving me support throughout the game.
“The Riverland (Football League) Umpires' Association has welcomed me with open arms, they are so supportive.” It is not the first time Hoffmann has umpired in Riverland sport, with broad experience in local netball. After one enjoyable football season, Hoffmann is already looking to the future. “Hopefully I've got quite a few years of umpiring to go,”
she said. A big fan of football, Hoffmann loves seeing the game played in the right spirit. “When you play football everyone wants to win,” she said. “Then when you walk off the football field, everyone shakes hands and the game is finished and you get on with the day. “No one holds any grudges, the team spirit and the crowd spirit is evident.”
Barmera United flags interest in summer soccer competition By CALLUM TRIFONOFF WITH a 20-year lease being secured on the former greyhound track, a Barmera United Soccer Club official is looking to introduce a summer competition to help bolster player numbers in the Riverland. Barmera United president and the brainchild behind the summer soccer idea Jim Wallace believes the formation of an offseason competition under lights would benefit the association. With senior players from Barmera and Renmark Olympic taking part in summer 'kickabout' games at the Barmera Recreation Centre in the past, Wallace said there should be plenty of interest. “What we're looking at, with under 10’s pitches, is having a five-a-side or seven-a-side (summer competition),” he said. “Quite a few of them already go to the five-a-side (at the Barmera Recreation Centre).” Despite many senior players advancing their skills, Mr Wallace has previously been concerned about junior development. “Some of the kids will go from the end of the season to the beginning of the season
and never touch a ball,” he said. “At least we're going to keep the skill levels up (with a summer competition).” With much work to be done at the new Barmera home ground, including the erection of lights, Mr Wallace does not believe the competition will be operational this summer. He said, however, that organisers are very keen on next season. “Once we start the (2012) season, then we'll have the flyers and advertise it through (Barmera United) home games,” he said. “Hopefully we'll have the lights up by then.”

A PROPOSED primary school cricket competition is promising to be an exciting and beneficial way to get boys and girls involved in the sport. With a decline in the age group of four to seven years in local cricket, organisers of the proposed competition will host a registration date on October 23 for primary schools students. Organiser Todd
Charlton said there has already been interest from several schools but plans for the competition are still in the early days. “It sounds like there is some interest mainly from Renmark, Loxton and Waikerie,” Mr Charlton said. “We'll do a program up depending on how many numbers we get (to the registration day).” The success of the MILO in2CRICKET clinics

held at several Riverland primary schools recently will help with interest in the competition. “We've run the MILO program here for the last three or four years and we get around 60 kids,” Mr Charlton said. “The problem we have there (though) is that the MILO program is for an eight or nine-year-old (and) there's nowhere to go for them until under 14s cricket.
“(The competition is) trying to suit that age group.” As well as keeping young cricketers interested in the sport, Mr Charlton said the competition will make under 14 and higher grades stronger in the future. Mr Charlton maintained the competition will be purely participation cricket. “Everyone gets a go, it's not serious,” he said.

Port’s controversial compo deal a winner RECENTLY Port Adelaide won a standoff against Greater Western Sydney to be compensated for the Giants’ signing of retired veterans Chad Cornes and Dean Brogan. Despite the pair making it clear they would not be playing in the Australian Football League next year, after an approach from GWS coach Kevin Sheedy, Cornes and Brogan changed their mind and agreed to join the AFL’s newest club. However, this was not taken lightly by the Power with the pair already announcing their retirements. Yet, if the pair were to have a change of heart and come out of retirement to rejoin the Power, they would still be under contract, so therefore if any move was to proceed, technically the club would be entitled to compensation. The Giants have agreed to the compensation and will offer Port draft picks, players or a combination of both in trade week. Given the Giants’ decision, Port
officials must be having a right chuckle at the moment. Brogan and Cornes are both on the wrong side of 30 years of age and are nearing the end of their careers. It was also no secret that both veterans were not required players for the Power at the end of the year. The fact GWS recruting manager Stephen Silvagni said the club would not be offering draft picks or players for the Power pair shows its desperation to have experience and squad depth within the ranks. Brogan and Cornes were also understandibly upset with the club for their refusal to let them go without compensation. In other sports, such as soccer, if a player has given long service to a club but wishes to leave, out of respect it will usually let them go (for example, Carlo Cudicini crossing from Chelsea to Tottenham Hotspur). However, AFL is becoming a very serious business and Port was having none of it, aiming and
succeeding in gaining something for two players it never even wanted for another year. The Power has won a major battle with the league’s newcomer and some GWS fans must be seething at losing a possible younger drafted player, while gaining two over the hill veterans who are only likely to play for a year or two. However, the experience they will bring (and the fact Brogan and Cornes will probably be signed as playing-assistant coaches) shows the Giants may not have completely duffed this one. Besides, experience was something that the Gold Coast Suns did not really have in their first year, so maybe the Giants have done well in also securing retired Melbourne captain James McDonald and former Brisbane star Luke Power. One thing is certain though, ■ CHEEK: Port Adelaide has won a controversial compensation deal in order to for the first time this year, it was let new AFL club Greater Western Sydney sign retired veterans Dean Brogan (left) the Power who were the winners in and Chad Cornes.

In the off-season three groups, including both boys and girls, around 8 to 12 years of age, 12 to 15, and 15 to 18 have been involved each Monday night in special squads training at either the Loxton Lutheran or Glossop High complexes as part of the Basketball Development Network Program.

â&#x2013; MEMBERS and supporters of the Riverland Greyhound Racing Club gathered at its Barmera venue late last month to say goodbye to a facility rated the best outside of the metropolitan area. The sad closing of the RGRC on September 25 was acknowledged by a crowd of forty or so, many of whom had contributed many years of service in varying capacities in making the club popular amongst greyhound people from across South Australia and interstate. A number of long term supporters and trainers from the Sunraysia region were also amongst those present. At the end of the day, some addition to local folklore may well have been created as I understand that the last to leave and pass out of the gates (or if you like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go down with the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) were were club cclu lub b president pres pr esid iden entt Leo Leo Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary Mayor OL Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Leear aryy an and d th tthee Ma M ayo y r off yo

Meanwhile, many of the local trainers, who were poised to turn a number of young dogs loose at a new season at Barmera, have been noticed making an impact in recent weeks at tracks that have survived any action under the Greyhound Racing SA strategic plan. In fact, a maiden race at Gawler could have been easily titled a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Riverland Cupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

â&#x2013; DESPITE the absence of Aaron Haby, his brother Carl has kept the pairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record breaking off road racing season on track with a victory in the last round of the SA Multi Club series, the five race short course event at Sedan on September 17 and 18. The Mannum brothers have dominated all of the races they have entered in 2011 in their pro buggies numbered 56 and 57 and neither has finished outside a top three position. However, Carlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win with Rowan Eggers alongside him at Sedan, only came about after a titanic battle with Waikerie and Riverland entries Wally and Maree Francombe and Scott Schiller and Nathan Schultz. Francombe, won three of the races, and Haby, two, but in the end the latter was ahead of his rival by around 14 seconds overall. A fast finishing Schiller was around three seconds behind Francombe. With the off road season drawing to a close, the last
round of the national championships, in the form of the Goondiwindi 400, on October 15 and 16 is now the centre of attention. The battle for the overall title is at an interesting stage. Only two can win it; reigning champions David Fellows and Mark Bergeman or Dan Auricht and Grant Connolly.
The battle for the overall title is at an interesting stage. Only two can win it.
Fellows leads Auricht by 23 points but with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;points and a halfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; round still left, there are numerous possibilities, although the leader will definitely finish first or second, while poor results could still see Auricht under threat from competitors be-
low him. There are a number of other cars in contention for second and third finishes overall, while it is also wide open in many of the classes including the Extreme 2WDs. There the winner of the 2011 Finke Desert Race Greg Gartner, leads reigning champion Chris Western by 50 points, with Kevin Knott and Paul Grant both capable of grabbing the title. Gartnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season since Finke has literally been up and down but he will be anxious to grab the class championship, as well as third outright. However, all of those candidates can expect some stout opposition in the form of Renmarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brad Gallard, who will return to the scene of his 2008 winning class, the year that he won the Extreme 2WD Australian title. It will be exciting for local fans to follow the progress of Gallard and his regular side kick Scott Modistach putting The Beast, a USA trophy truck, through its paces again.

Bowlers impress at champs ■ RECENTLY three local bowlers, John Van der Wyst and Robert ‘Dixie’ Lee from the Renmark RSL club and Renmark’s Ben Quartrebournes, played in the annual New South Wales Open Championships in Wagga Wagga for the second year in a row. Held at the local RSL club, the $30,000 event was the last of four Bowls Australia Grand Prix tournaments for the year, with the others being the Australian Open, Australian Indoor and Queensland Open. Singles, pairs and triples are played for both men and women, with the tournament featuring some of the game’s finest players. Messrs Van der Wyst, Lee and Quartre-bournes took to play against some of the best in the business. They were joined in the tournament by household names amongst either current or former Australian
players like Aron Sherriff, Barry Lester, Guy Vozza, Wayne Turley, Nathan Rice, Mark Casey, Claire Duke, Julie Keegan, Lisa Phillips, Natasha Van Eldik and Lyndsay Armitage. Qualification events are held in Melbourne, Sydney and Wagga for the championships, with the Renmark group opting to attempt to make the grade at Wagga. They did not fair too badly, certainly better than at their first attempt last year. The trio combined to reach the last 16 players in triples, Van der Wyst and Lee made the last 32 in pairs and Van der Wyst finished in the last 64 in singles. One of the top bowlers in the world, Neil Burkett, from South Africa, won the singles title but according to Riverland representatives, a feature of the tournament was the way a number of young guns demolished some of the big
names amongst an awesome display of talent. The Renmark combine were the only Riverland bowlers to attend this major event and I am told that the reason they entered is not only to see top bowlers in action but also to have an opportunity to do something not normally possible in tournaments in this state, which is to play against them. Well, I now find that is only partially true, as two of our other leading local bowlers and our only current state squad members, Andrew Hill and Kerry Treloar, have just finished competing against some top quality opposition in Adelaide. In a pretty well kept secret, they turned out for the state teams in matches against both the New Zealand and Australian sides at Lockleys and Holdfast Bay over an eight day period. Those two city clubs will host
Shooters to compete in Tassie ■ RENMARK trio Rob Shawyer amongst the men, Deanna Van der Zalm in the ladies and Kailan Markham in the juniors, have all been included in the state team to compete at the Australian Sporting Clays National championships in Northern Midlands, Tasmania, from October 21 to 23. Among an additional seven funded qualifiers that will increase the number in the squad to 15, are locals Tony Trevorrow and Steve Markham. All are members of the Renmark-Berri Field and Game Association and were amongst a Riverland contingent that competed at the SA Championships in Mount Gambier recently. Shawyer finished second in a vet’s shoot, Van der Zalm recorded a second and first
placing in ladies and Kailan Markham won in sub juniors. In state team standings after Mount Gambier, which was the last of the qualifying shoots, Shawyer (vets) ranked fourth, Trevorrow equal seventh, Steve Markham 12th and pros Van der Zalm (vets)17th amongst the men, Deanna Van der Zalm and Renmark-Berri club mate Sheryl Beer were the top two in the ladies competition. Kaitlan Markham finished first and Mathew Redway came third in the juniors. The Renmark-Berri members who will be away with the SA team, will return in time for their next club shoot on Sunday October 30. Also, over the long weekend the Barmera Gun Club staged its birthday shoot on Saturday and the SA Clay Tar-
get Central Zone Carnival on Sunday. It was the first time the Zone Carnival has been held outside of Adelaide. On Saturday, local Peter Brister won the B grade section in three events, the 50 target double barrel championship with 46/50 and 25 target points score and continental with 73/75 and 28/30. The overall 50 target double barrel champion and first in A grade was Luke Higgins 59/60 and high gun winner Leigh Knight 173/175. On Sunday in 25 target shoots, another Riverland entrant Tom Drakopoulos won the B grade single barrel (27/28) and finished second in carnival points (75/78) The overall winners of those two events were David Keen and John Byrnes.

The Murray Man is SA’s only long course triathlon, the SA long course championship and an official ITU World championship qualifying event. The course will involve a two kilometre swim, 80 kilometre bike ride and 20 kilometre run, whereas the distances at Murray Bridge in 2010 were a two kilometre swim, 60 kilometre bike ride and 15 kilometre run.

The South Australia versus New Zealand and Australia match ups were arranged for a few reasons. Firstly, it was a trial run of the venues before those two major events. Also New Zealand and Australia wanted to get an early feel for the conditions and it also served as a good work out for the SA teams ahead of its series against Victoria at the Wallaroo Indoor Facility and the Australian team’s championships, in Queensland, later in the season. I also noticed former Berri and current Adelaide player Katrina Miller represented the SA team. Lockleys and Holdfast Bay will also host the 2012 World Championships.

Well known families’ rise to sporting fame ■ IN MY last column I looked back at two former Loxton men, Barry Pontt and Graeme Madden, who had attended a reunion of a 1971 Norwood Football Club Under 19 premiership team in Adelaide only a few nights before. Whilst young, both had moved to the city to join the Redlegs and were housed at a unique facility called Carmel Court, along with a number of other country recruits that went on to play football at a higher level. Barry and Graeme, who last week I noted had both enjoyed remarkable football and cricket careers, now reside in Adelaide, although over the years they did return to live at Loxton for a period of time. Both have suffered serious knee injuries, not so long after their 1971 triumph, that probably prevented their careers going to an even higher level than they did. Barry and Graeme are members of prominent Riverland sporting families. Barry from the well known Pyap clan and Graeme, one of five brothers to have played football for Loxton. The elder brother of long term Loxton football and cricket stalwart Mark ‘Chief’ Pontt, Barry graduated as a school teacher in his younger days and appointments took him to Clare for five years, Port Lincoln for four and Brighton Grammar, in Melbourne, for five years, before he returned to the Riverland to pursue a business career. Of his football, he said, “my knee was shot and perhaps luckily at full forward in those days, I could just stand in the goal square and did not have to lead much”.
The ‘standing sneak’ still managed to boot 150 or so goals in each of four seasons with South Clare and continued to get amongst the goals at Port Lincoln. However, the knee problem did not get any better and it was at cricket that Barry was able to complete a longer stint. A leg spinner, his clubs included Teachers College in the South Australian Cricket Association, South Clare, Bostons in Port Lincoln and Loxton.
Barry and Graeme are members of prominent Riverland sporting families.
He played for Murray Districts at the SACA Country Carnival on three occasions and represented SA Country against touring Pakistan in a game at Port Lincoln in 1982. It was while playing in that city that Barry decided to work on his batting. He scored 204 in one A grade game. Today Barry is retired with his knee, despite an operation, continuing to restrict him considerably. Graeme Madden probably will be embarrassed by me saying this but at cricket in particular he really does warrant legendary status as not only one of the best wicketkeeper- batsmen country cricket has seen but as an exceptional a captain, official, administrator, team manager and general servant of the game at all different levels. As far as his football was concerned, Graeme’s knee
injury really did put the brakes on things after he captained the Norwood under 19s to the flag. The year 1972 was pretty successful in the Redleg seconds but it was here the injury occurred, ironically when Graeme tackled another former Loxtonian, Kerry Hamilton, who was playing for Glenelg. On returning home, Graeme played and coached at Loxton and was at the helm when MoorookKingston won an Independent premiership. However, like Barry Pontt, it was in cricket that he really made his mark in a career, that despite his chronic knee problem, went for some 45 seasons. While still playing football in Adelaide, Graeme represented Kensington, then on coming back to Loxton he was with Murray Districts for 18 years, played state country cricket for 15 seasons, including five National Country Championships, two as SA captain, and in games against touring international sides including England (twice), India, Pakistan and, as captain against New Zealand. Then when Graeme returned to the city, where he is today working as a financial advisor, in the early 1990s, it did not stop there as firstly he joined a former Loxton teammate, the late Gary Murdoch, at Walkerville for five seasons, before being coaxed to Payneham for a further five seasons by another Loxton offsider Grant Wasley. Remarkably Graeme scored his first century at 12 years of age and his last at 55, just prior to retiring. Today he is back coaching football with Payneham and Norwood under 6s, where his grandson is playing.

Berri’s basketball struggle REPORT BY
GRAHAM CHARLTON
ROWING STRONG
■ READY TO ROW: At 84 years of age, Renmark’s Ted James will be the oldest Riverland rower when he competes at the Australian Masters Games in Adelaide beginning this week. Full story Page 37. Photo: BRAD PERRY
TALKING to Riverland Basketball Association president Les Lange, Berri will not field a women’s A grade team or an under 18 men’s side in the coming season. While that is disappointing, you have to admire the way this sport just gets on with things and in this case, a decision has been made to inject a development team into the senior women’s competition that will also include regulars Barmera, Loxton and Renmark. To retain the balance in under 18 men, Loxton will field two teams. As far as Berri’s shortage of female players is concerned, it seems that names including Kimberley Wade, Michelle Wenman, Tori Jachmann and Kelly Scholefield will be missing from the club for various reasons in 2011-12, while youngsters Stacey, Amy and Emma Pront are transferring to Barmera. ■ Continued Page 39
