Storm damage& By BRAD PERRY

FEROCIOUS weather ripped through Riverland towns yesterday with a high number of homes sustaining significant damage. A large number of homes had roofs torn off by almost 100 kilo-

metre per hour winds, while large trees were uprooted, with many bringing down power lines. The severe thunderstorm cell caused damage to Waikerie, Morgan, Barmera, Berri, Loxton, Renmark and surrounding areas, with local and city emergency service crews at-

tending more than 100 call outs. Of the most damage caused by the storm, several structures in Waikerie, including the Waikerie Institute, lost roofs, while the Waikerie Recreation Centre and both hotels in Morgan also sustained significant roof damage.

There were reports of fences and sheds being completely demolished, while flying debris also caused problems for motorists. Downed power lines meant more than 3000 residents across the region were without power for many hours and a number of

streets and highways were blocked by large fallen trees. It is understood a tree fell on a car in Renmark, while trees also caused major problems by tearing down power lines near Sunlands. n Continued Page 3

Windy weather causes chaos I HAVE never experienced anything like it and maybe never will again. Within five minutes, what appeared to be a nice sunny Wednesday was transformed into a windy, dark monster which ripped through the heart of our Riverland towns. The damage it has left in its wake is extensive and put emergency services into over time. Many homes lost roofs, while others narrowly avoided trees. Some were not so lucky, with reports of trees falling on cars and even flying objects hitting vehicles. At Waikerie, the aftermath of the storm will be felt for some days, if not weeks. Some people described the storm as a mini-tornado. Last week, Winkie resident John Menzel had his dahlia shade house ruined via a freak storm event, which he described as sounding like a freight train coming. Yesterday’s chain of weather events were certainly around the same mark. From really hot days to vicious storms. Do I hear climate change supporters saying ‘I told you so’?

FIRE FIGHTERS TO THE RESCUE

By BRAD PERRY POOR mobile phone coverage in the Riverland is expected to be a major talking point at a regional telecommunications meeting in Berri tomorrow. The 2011-12 Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee is currently holding meetings across rural and regional Australia to listen to the concerns of residents and will visit the Berri Town Hall tomorrow. Feedback from the meeting will be compiled as part of a report to be handed to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and Digital Economy by March 5, next year. R e g i o n a l Telecommunications Independent Review Committee

chair Rosemary Sinclair said communication is the lifeblood of many regional areas and improvement in telecommunications is essential. “For the community in terms of education, health and jobs, (we need to make) sure communities aren’t disadvantaged because they’ve got sub-standard communication services,” she said. “We’re very interested to hear where people are having difficulties. “Part of our consultation has been a series of discussions with industry, so we’re exploring with industry what might be done from their perspective, in terms of addressing today’s black spots and poor communications.” The National Broadband

Network roll out in the region is also expected to be a hot topic of discussion during the meeting. “Longer term, the NBN has an objective of covering 100 per cent of premises with a mixture of fibre, wireless and satellite,” Mrs Sinclair said. She said the Federal Government will have six months to respond to the committee’s report and Mrs Sinclair said the committee has a good track record for progress. “In the past, previous committee’s recommendations have been all considered by government and a number of responses have been put in place, some have included funding initiatives,” she said. Murray Mallee Local Government Association president Leon Stasinowsky said

phone coverage is a major issue in the region, with many areas unable to gain a signal. “I know on the Swan Reach highway the coverage is very, very poor,” he said. “I get complaints from carriers and agents all the time as to no service there, which is a problem.” Berri District Business Association president Barry Phillips is encouraging businesses to attend the meeting and voice any concerns. “It is far better to have a consultation process rather than have the answer already put forward to everybody without input coming from the various sectors of the community,” he said. The meeting will run for two hours beginning at 10am.

with the town of Berri in mind. “The biggest, disappointing thing of a business (like Fletchers) going broke in such a visual part of Berri, is it affects everyone else,” he said. “To see something happening over there was a high priority. “The biggest thing it’s going to create is interest. “It’s just trying to give confidence to the area.” Mr Hoffmann believes having several businesses at the premises instead of just one will be the right decision. “I believe if we let it go back out to one big business, we’re back in the same trouble,” he said. “If that big business falls, it’s empty again and it takes a long time for people to get confidence in what it is.”

THE former Fletchers Freighters site in Berri will become a Riverland business hub after its sale to a local businessman last week. Peter Hoffmann has purchased the extensive facilities and plans to use the site to attract business from outside the region. It has been a frustrating process for Mr Hoffmann, who was denied matching funding through the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund and was then forced to purchase the premises out of his own pocket. Mr Hoffmann described the process, which has lingered on since January, as like a “silent auction” and a “very hard process to go through” but expressed his

given us the ability to grow this quickly and advertise it quickly but now, without that sort of funding, it’s a lot slower process. “So I have organised some investors to assist me.” Mr Hoffmann said many businesses have already expressed interest in being part of the new Industry Park. “The interest that we have now is starting to be greater now that momentum’s building,” he said. “What I would like to see is a lot of small businesses go in there, so they could possibly tender for larger projects outside the region. “Having a mix like that gives an opportunity to share expertise.” Mr Hoffmann’s decision to purchase the site was one he made

Storm hits Riverland hard ■ From Page 1 State Emergency Service duty officer Peter Nygaard said the storm was certainly significant and crews from Adelaide and the Barossa were in the region to help with any requests and clean-ups. A shack at Morgan also lost a roof, while fallen trees blocked ferry access at a number of Riverland locations. Lucky residents on Hepworth Street in Berri narrowly escaped injury when a large tree was struck by fork lightning just metres in front of them. “We saw the strike,” Berri resident Carol Lloyd said. “We were really scared. “It was a moment of panic, we didn’t know what to do.” Berri resident John Berridge called emergency services when a neighbour’s tree brought down power lines during the storm. “My first thoughts were I’ve never seen rain like it with the wind conditions,” he said. Mr Berridge had his power out from around 5pm and recorded 10 and a half millimetres of rain in half an hour.

At Loxton North, winegrape grower Paul Wilson woke yesterday to the realisation a weather event had flattened 26 rows of vines. “I thought there would be a little bit of damage but nothing like this,” he said. Neighbour’s have rallied around the grower in a bid to help straighten the vines before they become affected by disease. Early yesterday, a number of emergency service crews attended a call out at Taylorville where pigs had been exposed following windy conditions destroying the roof of where they were housed. A state emergency services spokesperson said it is “thunderstorm season”, so the Riverland may need to brace for more severe weather in the coming months. The Riverland will today begin a major clean-up and for some households, it will take more than just one day to fix the effects of the storm.

Calls to lift catfish ban By BRAD PERRY AN abundance of catfish in the River Murray has prompted calls from local fisherman to lift current bans protecting the species. Riverland fisherman John Cockshell said current fishing conditions in the region are at a two decade high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would be the best fishing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of in 21 years... as far as numbers being caught,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Cockshell said with the size and numbers of catfish being caught, lifting a ban on the fish at a one per day bag limit could be considered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing as there is still a lot of catfish being caught, they (the Department of Fisheries) are still trying to work out where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually all come from in a hurry,

whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come down with the floods or whether they have bred that quick,â&#x20AC;? Mr Cockshell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is enough noise made, there is a chance that we mayy gget around to lifting the ban

This would be the best fishing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of in 21 years. to one a day or something like that.â&#x20AC;? There is also talk of fisherman recording their catch to demonstrate the size and weight of catfish being caught in the Riverland. Mr Cockshell said he has been told of catfish being collected that are over a metre long, while he said one snag caught 60 catfish in one weekend.

a spread of fisherman up and down the whole Riverland to record their catches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People would be happy if they could take a catfish home to try it again.â&#x20AC;? Callop are also being caught in huge numbers, according to Mr Cockshell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got people catching 40 or 50 (catfish and callop) a day, which has never been heard of

since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in business,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will travel where the fish are going and they are certainly going at the moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fishing has turned things right around now from what it was.â&#x20AC;? PIRSA inland fisheries management officer Jonathan McPhail said there is discussions around the catfish ban but said there is not enough evidence to lift any limits at this stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had anecdotal information come through from recreational fishers but scientific evidence at this point of time hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t proven any sort of recovery of those species,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until we have that solid evidence behind us, it will give us a good indication of populous or sizes of catfish at the moment.â&#x20AC;?

PATS meeting set to inform Extreme measures to stop thieves By BRAD PERRY

Get ready for the new TV channels!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to work out a way of perhaps having a record your catch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (the department) know there is a lot out there but they need to know, roughly, the sizes, so we need to get a bit of

A SOUTH Australian growerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group fears producers may be forced to take extreme measures to prevent â&#x20AC;&#x153;professionalâ&#x20AC;? theft of fruit after more than $5000 worth of avocado was stolen from a Ramco property on the weekend. South Australian Fresh Fruit Growers Association chair Dino Ceracchi said stealing fruit from peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s properties has happened for many years but the economic crisis may have increased such illegal activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This sort of thing has happened before, well and truly, where people have come in, obviously they know the area, they know how to get in and how to get out and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come in when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate at night and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pick off the produce and go and sell it off,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you do about that, electric fences, guard dogs? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will come to the stage where people will take the law into their own hands.â&#x20AC;? Mr Ceracchi said monitoring large acreage of produce is virtually impossible but he said growerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s may be forced to have patrolling guard dogs to scare off criminals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people that go out at night, they are professionals, they go out to steal peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s produce to make money on it and of course, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people out there who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for anyone...all they care about is how they make their next dollar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could have a dog at each corner of your block running along a wire so it can travel from one end to the other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You rely on people being honest... and when it happens you are heartbroken because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got fruit stolen from you that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be.â&#x20AC;?

CONTINUED concern about changes to the Patient Assitance Transport Scheme has prompted the Loxton and Districts Health Advisory Council to hold a special meeting. After the Riverland Weekly last month revealed Loxton residents would lose $10 of patient travel subsidies per trip following changes to distance calculations, Loxton and Districts HAC presiding member Sally Goode said a meeting was required to explain the new regulations. While changes to the PATS scheme came into effect in July, Ms Goode said a recent meeting to discuss the system was â&#x20AC;&#x153;poorly advertisedâ&#x20AC;? by the State Government and as a result, many people were left unaware. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the initial meeting

â&#x2013; HELPING: Loxton and District HAC presiding member Sally Goode has announced a meeting to discuss PATS changes. which was held on October 20...there were a significant number of people who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to the meeting because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we welcome anyone coming to it, it (the meeting) is specifically aimed at Loxton because they are the ones who are losing money,

whose reimbursement from PATS has dropped by $10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also especially inviting people who maybe never knew anything about PATS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are far from happy and they are not very happy with the responses theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had from Country Health.â&#x20AC;? The meeting will take place on November 24 at the Loxton Day Care Centre from 7pm. Ms Goode said PATS senior executives were invited to attend the meeting but are unable to be present. Representatives from the Riverland Medical Bus will also be on hand to talk about its service during the meeting. For further information, contact Sally Goode on 8584 5588.

Adrian steps down from Riverland be active role RIVERLAND be active Field Officer Adrian Pipe will step down from his position this month. After nearly three years in the role, Mr Pipe has decided to pursue other career paths and is looking for new challenges, finishing up in his be active position next Friday. Funding for the position will end in June, with another application required for the position to continue for a further three year period. During his time in the role, Mr Pipe (pictured) has worked on a number of successful community projects including helping develop

local sporting clubs and encouraging people to engage in physical activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The highlights for me have been seeing people getting more active through the various fun runs, active community team challenges and pedometer challenges that have been provided, as well as the opportunity for Riverlanders to try new activities such as touch football and dragon boating,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recent opening of the Lyrup Community Gym is also a highlight and shows what can be achieved when a small community has the will and desire to make something happen.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely leave the role with mixed emotions as I loved working with the Riverland sport and active recreation community but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also looking forward to different challenges.â&#x20AC;? Mr Pipe said he would like to thank everyone who has supported him in his role and he will remain in the Riverland.

SNORING & SLEEP APNOEA UNMASKED! Find out what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually not told about these conditions! SNORING is a problem for many people and can often lead to sleep apnoea, a condition in which people stop breathing during sleep, resulting in constant waking overnight and daytime fatigue. Breathing exercises developed in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by Konstantin Buteyko, a Russian professor of medicine and introduced in Australia in the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, may offer help to people with sleep disorders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buteyko breathing is designed to help people sleep more soundly and may reduce reliance on CPAP machines, splints and other oral devicesâ&#x20AC;?, Buteyko Institute Chief Executive Paul Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People with asthma may safely reduce the need for medication as they ďŹ nd their symptoms decrease when they learn Buteyko. Despite Buteyko having been featured on television in Australia several dozen times, many people are still unaware of it.â&#x20AC;? Free seminars on Buteyko Breathing will be held in the Riverland on 21 November. Paul Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell has taught Buteyko Breathing in several countries over the last 17 years to over 7,000 people, and will be conducting the seminars. He has been involved in a pilot study of Buteyko for sleep apnoea in the United Kingdom, as well as a clinical trial for asthma. He has also taught in the Buteyko schools program in Glasgow, organised by Dr Jill McGowan. For a free info pack and bookings please phone Freecall 1800 001 700 or email info@sleepingallnight.com. The Buteyko course includes breathing exercises and techniques designed to be integrated into daily activities, sleeping, eating, sport and general living.

Big plans for Chaffey By BRAD PERRY THE Chaffey Theatre could become one of the most sought after locations in Australia for performers if a Country Arts SA funding submission to add another cinema auditorium and upgrade movie projection is given the green light within five years. As a talented 2012 Chaffey Theatre season was launched on Tuesday night, Country Arts SA chief executive officer Steve Saffell said continued patronage will help long term plans to upgrade the venue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the more people we have coming along to shows, it just creates a stronger message to the State Government that the arts and the Chaffey Theatre, in particular, is very important to this community,â&#x20AC;? Mr Saffell told the Riverland Weekly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Chaffey is so importantâ&#x20AC;Śfor the Riverland region as it is a flagship organisation for the State Government and it is obviously the prime location for the arts and entertainment in the Riverland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Chaffey is 27 years old now and certainly it is going to need some more love and attention and capital development, which is an ongoing priority for Country Arts SA, trying to secure the funds to actually keep it relevant to communities.â&#x20AC;? Currently the State Govern-

ment has received a $27 million funding submission from Country Arts SA to upgrade its regional venues, including the Chaffey Theatre. Mr Saffell said included in the long term plans is the possible establishment of another cinema auditorium with opera boxes and the much needed upgrade of the cinema projection equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long term plan but the priority is that it (the Chaffey Theatre) keeps up to the latest technical standards and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite difficult in itself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We certainly have plans for the Chaffey and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think over the next five years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to secure the necessary funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a wish list that all government departments have for capital development but our job is to make sure that it is actually considered along with all of the other priorities and we get it up the priority list and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we will be working on in the next five years.â&#x20AC;? The Chaffey Theatre is already one of Country Arts SAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;star performersâ&#x20AC;? and Mr Saffell said upgrades are vital for the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no doubt it is in good shape,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have fantastic staff here who have really taken care of the building but the fact remains that a lot of the equipment

is fairly original. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the lighting standards have changed, there is more energy efficient lighting that is much more effective and we need to respond to the needs of hirers and commercial promoters that are touring shows to our theatres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t upgrade our technical facilities, there will become a time when some shows will have to bypass the Chaffey and other things but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to make sure that never happens.â&#x20AC;? One of the more urgent upgrades is the cinema projection equipment, estimated to cost up to $200,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things that is incorporated in that is actually upgrading our cinema projection equipment up to the latest digital and 3D equipment,â&#x20AC;? Mr Saffell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cinema is really important to the Riverland communities and it is something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to provide to actually make sure that we get the maximum use out of our orditorium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a really bustling and thriving cinema and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be able to do more movies but if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t upgrade within a reasonable short space of time, the industry will overtake us because 35 millimetre prints wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be available, probably, from the end of 2013.â&#x20AC;?

Season 2012 COUNTRY Arts SA is bringing a wide variety of shows to the Chaffey Theatre next year in what is described as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest ever season. The highlights of next season at the theatre includes the music and style of Tom Burlinson in Now Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Swingin, a much anticipated Opera classic bringing the tale of Don Giovanni to life and Peter Phelps, known for his role in Underbelly and Stingers, will star in Let the Sunshine. There will also be plenty for the kids with Erthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dinosaur Petting Zoo returning after sold-out shows this season and the multi-award winning company Slingsby will perform The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy. Country Arts SA community engagement director Anthony Peluso said it will be an exciting season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with a lot of presenters next year to bring the biggest program we possibly could in 2012 to the community here in the Riverland,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through our consultation earlier this year, people said they wanted a greater variety and they wanted more kids shows, so next year we are bringing three different kids shows out to the Riverland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping the patronage will rise a lot next year and I think with the great variety weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotâ&#x20AC;Śwe will start to get more people coming through.â&#x20AC;?

Councils to discuss waste management option RIVERLAND councils will meet tomorrow to discuss the findings of a consultantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report on the future direction of waste management in the region. Representatives from each council will look into the consultantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, which determines

which is more cost effective or practical; transporting waste from the region or constructing a waste management facility in the Riverland. Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Tony Siviour said the aim is to present the report to this

Keeping kids healthy By BRAD PERRY RIVERLAND schools are being encouraged to eat healthy and take part in regular physical activity in a bid to avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Not-for-profit organisation Bluearth Foundation conducted leader's forums for a number of schools in the Riverland over the past two days, where the topic of how student leaders are able to influence a healthy change within the school environment was one of the major learning points. Since 2009, Bluearth has worked with 12 local schools through the eat well be active – primary schools project, which is funded through SA Health and co-managed by the Department for Education and Child Development. Bluearth SA manager Aaron Harrison said the program is helping to shape the future of young Riverlanders, both physically and mentally. “Being remote it (the Riverland) shouldn’t be disadvantaged in being a bit further away,” Mr Harrison said. “That’s why when we initially

■ PARTICIPATING: (Front to back) Renmark Junior Primary School student Morgan Smith, Renmark West Primary School’s Alannah Jenke, Renmark Primary School’s Chelsea Clifford, Renmark Junior Primary teacher Mellodie Wittwer and Bluearth SA manager Aaron Harrison all take part in the program on Tuesday.

came up here we thought it was important to engage the Riverland and the kids and give the community a positive amongst the drought and all the other things that happened up here. “I think it’s really taken off and it’s part of the culture in the Riverland now.” Building the foundations for physical activity and healthy eating for children earlier in life will benefit in the long run, according to Mr Harrison. “We believe, especially in primary school aged kids, kids either get turned on to doing physical activity, especially if they are given good experiences at school level, or they can be turned off of it,” he said. “Backyards are smaller, there is more television, there is more temptation to not be active. “Habits are developed at these age groups and that’s why it is important that we do educate and there is a consistent message from teachers in terms of that and also the community. “Research is also suggesting now that if you have more physically active kids who are eating better they are going to be better learners.” Eat well be active – primary schools project officer Geoff James said the program has had a very positive response. “The whole environment to support healthy eating and physical activity is absolutely vital to building sustainable outcomes and those sustainable outcomes can eventually help to build a really positive culture around healthy eating and physical activity,” he said.

Teacher of the year By CALLUM TRIFONOFF LOXTON High School principal Kent Spangenberg has capped off a wonderful career by winning a 2011 South Australian of the Year Award. Mr Spangenberg, who retires at the end of the school year, was recognised for his services by being awarded South Australian of the Year in the education category in Adelaide last week. As principal of Loxton High for 15 years, Mr Spangenberg (pictured) was delighted to receive such acknowledgements for his efforts. “I'm very pleased and very honoured,” he said. “I feel at the same time, quite humbled because in a sense, individuals receive awards but really an individual is a representative of an organisation of which they work and the community in which they work.” Mr Spangenberg sees his win as an award for his school, the community and for education in general. After a long association with the school, Mr Spangenberg will retire a happy man with what he has achieved at Loxton High School. “When students come to the school in year 8, they are young adolescents and they leave as wonderful, well-rounded young adults,” he said. “I hope my role as principal of the school has helped each and every one of those students achieve their full potential and lead them on the way to making their dream a reality.”

An unforgettable date By CALLUM TRIFONOFF

Murray Zircon, a mining and resources company, is talking with the community and PIRSA about reopening the Mindarie mining operations in 2012. We are also investing to rehabilitate the previous mineral sands mine in the District Council of Karoonda East Murray.

GETTING married is always memorable but for one soon-to-be wed couple it will be the date that is unlikely to ever be forgotten. Locals Dyllan Clarke and Melissa Parry will tie the knot in front of

around 140 people at a ceremony at Renmark’s Ruston's Roses tomorrow, which happens to be the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year and also Rememberance Day. The couple got engaged on October 15, 2009. “I figured he couldn't

forget,” Melissa laughed. As the wedding falls on Remembrance Day, the couple will respect the tradition of the fallen soldiers. “We thought it is Remembrance Day and we are going to have a minute's silence as well,” Melissa said.

Feasibility study As a part of this process, we are conducting a mining Feasibility Study. This study is currently underway and will determine if the mine is economic to reopen, as well as the best mining methodology to minimise the impact on the environment and improve rehabilitation outcomes. The feasibility study is expected to be finalised by late 2011.

Program for Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR) Following the feasibility study, a Program for Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR) will be developed for the site. This is a Primary Industries and Resources of South Australia (PIRSA) requirement, and the mining operations cannot commence until this document has been approved. Through this document, PIRSA will outline their conditions for rehabilitation management and monitoring, to allow us to commence mining operations. The PEPR will outline our mining methodology and plan for returning the land to the landowners. It will also address issues including: t transportation

t site clearance and soil management

t worker accommodation

t rehabilitation

t visual amenity t noise

t operations, including mining & processing methodology

t dust and air quality

t opportunities for wider community benefit.

We are also working with PIRSA and landowners on the rehabilitation of the previous mining area, called Mindarie A2. We are hosting a community meeting on Tuesday 15 November 2011, 6 pm–7:30 pm, at the East Murray Community Centre (East Murray Area School). All members of the public are welcome to come and discuss the project, and provide feedback to the Murray Zircon team. Please contact Steve McEwen on 08 8410 8884 or email mmccc@murrayzircon.com.au if you would like further information. We would like to confirm that the community meeting will be held at the East Murray Community Centre (East Murray Area School). Apologies for any confusion caused in our previous advertisement.

Multicultural festival success By CALLUM TRIFONOFF RIVERLANDERS from a diverse range of cultures gathered on the Berri riverfront on Saturday to celebrate the colourful and lively Riverland Multicultural Festival. Around 2500 people attended the day and were treated to an array of entertainment and foods. Co-ordinator Danyon De Buell said the hot weather on Saturday did not dampen the spirits of those who attended the event. “Our numbers were a little bit lower than anticipated but I think that was because of the sudden onset of the heat,” Ms De Buell said. “We're still overall happy...those that

attended embraced it.” Despite a healthy influx of visitors on hand for the event, Ms De Buell said the festival committee will look to improve the promotion outside the region when it goes ahead in two years. “There definitely were visitors but next time I think we need to do a bigger media promotion,” she said. Ms De Buell said if, in the future, the festival was to fall on another hot day, it would look at making it a twilight event again. “We've done that in the past but then we battle with cold weather,” she said. “We'll look at it and see what we might do differently.”

Farmers Market celebrates six years By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Riverland Farmers’ Market will this Saturday celebrate a significant milestone. The market will host its sixth birthday and organisers are hoping to host a celebration for the community. Market manager Rosalyn Kambouris said the build up to the birthday celebrations has run smoothly. “We've had two new stallholders...we've been doing well,” Mrs Kambouris said. “We're trying to get more stallholders then we'll be looking at more events in the community. “We've got a lot of recognition from around the country as well.” For Mrs Kambouris, she enjoys being involved with one of the Riverland's biggest success stories. “It means you're able to offer

the community fresh produce from the Riverland,” she said. After six years, Mrs Kambouris believes the markets is still a great place to go to. “You can come and have a yummy breakfast and people can come and catch up with friends,” she said. Mrs Kambouris hopes the public will attend the market's sixth birthday celebrations this Saturday and she promised much entertainment and many activities. “We're going to have cakes, balloons and face painting,” she said. “We're also going to have a special offer for 11.15am, with special baskets filled with food from the markets.” Musicians Harrison Lowe and Bill Johnson will perform on the day.

If you live outside the Adelaide inner metro area, you are at bushfire risk.

BIG4’s big night out BIG4 Loxton Riverfront Caravan Park and BIG4 Blanchetown Riverside Holiday Park are encouraging locals to enjoy a night under the stars which will raise money for the Park to put towards Novita Children’s Services. The Camp and Care with BIG4 program will be held tomorrow night. The event encourages people to try camping for the first time and to explore a holiday destination close to home while helping a worthwhile cause. All proceeds from the event going towards the Novita Children’s Services which provides therapy, equipment and home support services to South Australian children with disabilities. Guests staying at the parks will be treated to a pancake breakfast in the morning, be able to enjoy the Park’s great facilities and benefit from many of the great local attractions that Loxton offers. “You can sit by the river and enjoy the birdlife, go for a fish and make new friends around our BBQs,” park spokesperson Julie Lihou said. “All you need is $20, your camping gear and a sense of adventure.”

A RIVERLAND woman will be taking what can be seen as the ultimate sacrifice when she shaves her hair for charity next Thursday. Berri's Arunika Hamden will be taking part in Berri Salvos Stores' Living to Beat Cancer event next week and was only too willing to help when presented with the opportunity. “Cindy's Hair and Beauty owner Cindy (Najar) told me about her fundraiser when I went for a hair appointment,” Arunika said. “I thought I would be willing to help out by shaving my hair to raise funds.” Berri Salvos Stores was only too happy to help with the organisation of the event and will also be hosting a fashion parade on the night. Arunika said the event raises money for a very worthy cause. “It kind of inspires passion and you want to do something,” she said. Berri Salvos Stores manager Helen Adamczyk said the Living to Beat Cancer event was the perfect fundraiser for the store which has an open night at least once a year. “Arunika is a volunteer in our store and the Salvation Army is keen to assist in any way we can,” Mrs Adamczyk said. “So we thought we would do a fashion show and combine that with Arunika's head shave. “We've had well over 30 volunteers work-

RIVERLAND LOCAL ACTION PLANNING UPDATE

Local students attend international conference SIX students from Barmera Primary School and eight from Glossop High school travelled to Adelaide to meet with more than 60 schools from across Australia chosen to attend an internationally recognised environmental education event held on October 23 to 25. The 2011 International Kids Teaching Kids River Conference was an opportunity for young people from Year 5 to 12 to share their ideas on environmental issues. A class of students from Barmera Primary School also attended the conference on Monday to present a dance drama titled Flood during the opening on the main stage at the Adelaide Convention Centre. This was performed in front of an audience of 1500 students, teachers and invited guests. The conference performance

was a fantastic experience for the students who had put a large amount of time into researching, planning and practicing. The conference delegates attended a number of workshop activities developed around the theme Kids Teaching Kids. This is a school centred learning model that motivates young people to learn and care about their environment. The workshops were developed by students, researching an environmental, water or waterway topic and developing a creative way of presenting it to their peers at the conference. Time was also devoted to hands-on experiences. These took place in the Adelaide Botanic gardens where students rotated around a number of different activities ranging from building bird boxes, undertaking water testing, reusing from recy-

cled materials and learning about indigenous plants and their uses. Groups from the Upper Murray Youth Environment Council and Renmark West Primary School also attended. The older students presented a slideshow and information about flooding in our local region as an evening presentation, while Renmark West students provided a workshop on weeds. The conference has been running bi-annually for 12 years and has become a “not to be missed” event for many schools throughout Australia. International students also attended, including a group from New Zealand. The Berri Barmera LAP group has supported the event for a number of years and Barmera Primary and Glossop High schools would like to acknowledge their support.

■ MONITORING: Bookmark Creek Action Group Chairman Tony Hersey and SA MDB NRM Board wetlands staff member Tim Inkster checking a fish net, while (below) several Bookmark Creek Action Group members participate in the monitoring event.

RENMARK to the Border LAP’s Annual General Meeting, held on October 5, was a huge success, according to retired 2010/11 Chairman Nick Bakkum. The event attracted approximately 75 guests, including several politicians and many visitors from outside the region. Guest speaker Professor Timothy Reeves delivered an engaging presentation on “global food security and its implications for local farms”, which was very well received by those in attendance and generated a discussion amongst the group on the future of agriculture in the Riverland. Please contact Anna McRae on 8586 6633 if you would like more information on Professor Reeves’ presentation. ■ ENGAGING: Attendees at the Renmark to the Border LAP AGM, listening to Professor Reeves during his presentation on global food security last month.

The year 11 geography students took part in the field study in order to assist them in deciding on a research topic which will count toward 30 per cent of their final grade. Members of the Hart Lagoon Wetland Group shared their local knowledge of the lagoon with the students, while wetland Officers from the SA MDB NRM Board provided technical information on the reasons for monitoring wetlands. The students were able to take part in fish and bird surveys, water quality monitoring, photopoints and tree health assessments. Feedback from the students was really positive with all agreeing they had gained some knowledge and awareness of wetlands and the processes involved with monitoring them.

■ RESEARCH: Waikerie High School year 11 students identify, measure and record results of fish collected from Hart lagoon.

FOR the first time in many years, the Bookmark Creek Action Group participated in a monitoring event organised through the South Australian Murray Darling Basin NRM Board wetlands staff and supported by the RBLAP. Water quality and fish populations were measured at various points along the creek. It was exciting to find several different species of fish present in the creek considering the number of culverts which are known to be “fish un-friendly”. Approximately 20 volunteers participated in the monitoring, which is indicative of the community passion and interest to keep the creek open. Water was allowed to flow into the creek for the first time in over a decade on September 29, 2010. Wetland monitoring is part of the initial stages to develop a wetland monitoring plan for the creek. The group is also pleased that after

several working bees, the Bookmark Creek wetlands walk is nearing completion. The group is encouraging locals and tourists to take a walk along the creek beginning at 21st Street to appreciate the local bird and plant life that has returned following high river levels.

Working with the community to support the local environment Past award winner returns to Renmark to join the RBLAP

■ CLOSE: The new Martins Bend regulator is nearing completion.

Martins Bend works nearing completion IN the October feature, it was mentioned that the BBLAP committee had just commenced work to replace the existing box culvert structure at Martins Bend to clear the build-up of reeds and silt in the inlet creek. I am pleased to be able to report that the works are almost complete. The new regulating structure has been installed and the majority of the creek has been

cleaned out. We are now just waiting for the existing carp screens and sluice gates to be modified to fit the new structure and we will be able to remove the coffer dam and allow water to flow into the main lagoon at river pool level, something which has not been able to occur for over 10 years. For more information please contact Paul Stribley at the Berri Barmera LAP Office.

RENMARK to the Border LAP welcomes Susie Pendle to the organisation to fill the new role of Environmental Development Officer. Ms Pendle, a past Renmark High School student, was a recipient of the Environmental Education Award (EEA); an award presented each year to a student from the Renmark Paringa district to study a tertiary qualification in environmental sciences. Ms Pendle brings a wealth of knowledge and skills to the position, including experience working with the University of Adelaide as a research assistant. Some of the key projects she worked on included a study on genetic diversity in populations, using genetic analysis to determine feral animal diets and climate change and genetic variability. Since returning to the region, Ms Pendle has seen a lot of changes since leaving at the end of 2005. “I’ve really noticed that the focus on the environment has grown, the community is more aware and I think we

need to keep that going,” Ms Pendle said. One of the areas Ms Pendle will be working on is the development of an environmental education program to be implemented through the schools in the Renmark Paringa district. “I’m really looking forward to working with the schools as I’m passionate about the environment and I would love to see the younger generation develop a passion also,” she said. If you or your school is interested in getting involved in an environmental project, you can contact Susie on 8586 6633 or 0458 669 717.

similar interests. One of our regular volunteers who came along on the day remarked how good it was to see new faces of people interested enough to join in the tour who had not been involved in similar activities before. Indeed it was interesting to note we had around a 50:50 mix of people who had or hadn’t been involved in wetland activities previously. The other key point of interest to come out of the day was the idea of holding a walking tour at one wetland and spending more time demonstrating management techniques and identifying plants and birds. This is something the BBLAP committee will work on developing and hold an event sometime in 2012.

2011 Berri Barmera wetland bus tour IN WHAT is becoming a popular annual event, the Berri Barmera LAP Committee held its wetland bus tour on Sunday October 23. Thirteen members of the local community and a further two from the South East toured the Martins Bend, Loveday and Overland Corner wetland complexes, before a gourmet BBQ tea at the Overland Corner hotel. Feedback from the participants demonstrated that highlights of the tour included seeing the new on-ground works at Martins Bend and explaining how it will all benefit the wetland; looking at all of the regenerating vegetation after last year’s flood and how the wetlands were responding in general; the abundant birdlife and meeting new people with

Native seed collecting with Ramco Primary School TWO classes of enthusiastic students took part in a recent seed collecting workshop around Ramco lagoon. Darren Schmitke shared his knowledge of local native species with the children before setting out to collect seed for propagation in the school nursery. Project Officer Karen Bishop said “it’s a great way for the kids to get hands on experience in learning about our native plants, what their seed pods look like and the best way to collect the ripe seeds.” The students collected samples from species including river red gums, black box and prickly bottlebrush, which are all within walking distance of the school. “We’ll be holding a propagation workshop in a couple of week’s time, so the students can sow the seeds they have harvested ready for planting out around the lagoon in 2012,” Ms bishop said.

Strengthening community led adaptation THE Berri Barmera LAP Committee has recently completed the planning stage for a new project aimed at “strengthening community led adaptation to change in the Riverland.” This project will consist of a series of stand-alone components, which will be linked together to deliver an integrated program of works. From this, a project proposal has been put forward, with a number of stand-alone components which will all link togeth-

er in order to develop a works program. This will include engaging with the community and encouraging leaders within to develop strategies and opportunities for the community to embrace change and work towards a positive future for the Riverland. One of the first components of this program is to undertake an inventory of community organisations and volunteer groups in the Riverland and the work they carry out.

This will assist in understanding the nature of their contribution to the region and links between community networks. It will also be a useful tool to demonstrate the importance of volunteering to the prosperity, health and well-being of the Riverland socially, economically and environmentally. The intent is for this project to reach across the Riverland and we will be examining opportunities to fund and

progress this project over the coming months. The BBLAP committee would like to thank the three Riverland Councils, Regional Development Australia Murraylands and Riverland and the South Australian Department for providing the funding for the planning stage of this project. For more information please contact Paul Stribley at the Berri Barmera LAP Office.

ET IN the prestigious Corowa Estate on a low maintenance, fully fenced elevated yard, you will find a three bedroom home all with built-in robes and ceiling fans. Once you walk through the commercial strength security door you will see for yourself that this eight-year-old home does not need any extra work. The home is ideal for those people who want to travel, as the home has locks on all windows (Pilkington security glass) and doors providing peace of mind. When at home the 12m x 7.5m x 3.4m shed complete with concrete floor, lights and three phase power will easily store the majority of caravans, boats and vehicles. Preparing meals in the impressive, centrally located kitchen is stress-free and allows you to continue to be part of the family. Ducted reverse cycle airconditioning and ceiling fans are present in all rooms simply adding to the appeal of the property. The little things have been taken care of by the current owner who built the home to their requirements, including a walk-in storage cupboard with its very own light. All this and more located in one of Waikerie’s most sought after addresses. Make an appointment at a time to suit you.

GARDENING WITH ANDREW WALLADGE

Community Events File

Growing kangaroo paw is colourful option FOR those of us that have travelled west, the kangaroo paw or Anigozanthos can evoke strong memories of Western Australia, as not only are they quite unusual but they are also endemic to south west Western Australia. The flower head is actually made up of many individual flowers that open sequentially. This is ideal for nectar eating birds that need a regular supply.

As a gardener the kangaroo paws are delightful in the way they constantly attract birds to the garden. One of the problems in the past with kangaroo paws is that the species that performed the best in gardens and are the easiest to grow tended to have pale flowers. Some species that have spectacular flowering plants in the wild tend to be a little more difficult in cultivation.

All that changed with hybridising of the two. Most kangaroo paws you will see in nurseries now are hybrids and more seem to be added to the market quite often. The hybrid kangaroo paws take on the garden friendly traits of some species and the spectacular flowering traits of others. The other trait that seems to come to the fore is repeat flowering. So we now have an unusual flowering plant that is quite easy to grow in a garden situation with a huge range of flower colour that blooms practically all year round. There are a few things kangaroo paws need to perform at their best but all within reach of most gardeners. Firstly the soils must be reasonably drained. To put it simply kangaroo paws grow best in sandy or sandy loams. The watering and fertiliser application frequency needs to be quite often. I have found the best performing plants have received weekly watering with higher output drippers and somewhat alarming quantities of organic fertiliser every time the spent flowers are cut.

â&#x2013; RED: Colourful kangaroo paw Angozanthos bush blitz. This brings me to the important issue of pruning. The spent flower stems need to be cut as low as possible. This will force a new crop of flowers more or less straight away. The other way to handle the pruning is to cut the flowers at their best and use them as a cut flower. Better still; give them to family and friends. They will think you are marvellous and you will be disposing of your pruning waste at the same time. The only possible warning is that the kangaroo paw hybrids are so varied and interesting that you may end up a collector. The flip side of this sort of obsession is that the birds will love you for planting them and so will the recipients of your cut flowers, not forgetting the perennial display of colour in your garden.

Big crash at Loveday

Monster event ANOTHER huge new event is in the making at the Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park, scheduled for March 17 and 18 next year. Tony Whateley and the crew are in the process of organising a weekend to debut Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest 4WD event, Austruck in the Riverland. The track is now being completely remodelled to cater for this event. Austruck will involve a series of timed races over obstacles and has drawn large crowds to the Melbourne and Brisbane 4WD shows. Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 30 modified 4WDs will compete during the event. Saturday afternoon will see a number of spectacular attempts to break up to eight records from the Guinness Book of Records. Loveday competitor Andrew Nichols has raised $20,000 in sponsorship and is in the process of building a Ford Louisville LT9000, bogie axle semi to attempt the longest ever jump of its kind. The Bigfoot monster truck, based in Melbourne and the star of various monster truck shows, will attempt to wheel stand for up to one kilometre during the event. Internationally acclaimed television show Top Gear currently holds the record for a reverse jump by a car of 61 feet. Toby Whateley is confident he can break the record and will attempt to do so. Loveday identity Dougie will challenge the â&#x20AC;&#x153;single roll overs in a car over a five minute periodâ&#x20AC;?. The record stands at 9 roll overs, with a total of 14 being seen as easily achievable by Dougie. A Polaris Odyssey UTV will attempt a wheel stand of over one kilometre to beat the 60 foot jump record by more than 30 feet. With a crowd in excess of 5000 spectators expected to attend, this event is set to become a huge drawcard on the 2012 Riverland calendar. Stay tuned for more information.

By DANNY HANRAHAN MOTORSPORT is a dangerous occupation. These words are often heard during the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s briefing at many motorsport events and unfortunately rang true at the recent 2011 Riverland Challenge at Loveday. During Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition, two competitors came crashing to the ground after launching their Jackeroos high into the air. Both were okay but felt quite sore after spending the night in the Riverland Regional hospital. As a photographer on the track, I remain highly impressed by the response from a number of the local emergency services. First on the scene in just seconds was the Barmera Country Fire Service and they quickly took control, along with other qualified personnel already at the track. Two local St John Ambulances and a State Emergency Service vehicles were also soon on the scene. Both competitors indicated pain in their lower backs, necessitating caution with every move. All in attendance at the Riverland Challenge are eternally grateful to the volunteers and services who helped during the crash. On behalf of event organiser Tony Whateley and all the competitors, I wish to express our sincere thanks for the hard work and personal time given to such an honourable cause.

The 2011 Riverland Challenge attracted a record number of entrants, ensuring the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racing would be hotly contested. In the open class, Rory Watson and Josh Bacchus raced hard all weekend, thrilling the large crowd. Their V8s roared around the track collecting enough points to challenge each other in the finals. Josh went wide a couple of

times but managed to pick up the seconds, just as Rory broke a steering rod to hand Josh first place. The bushman and standard classes again proved to be a huge success, this year attracting record entries. The ever popular Dougie took out the bushmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class from Team Ballroom Dancing, with Glen Chillingworth taking out the standard class.

â&#x2013; LEAP OF FAITH: Josh Bacchus, winner of the 2011 Riverland Challenge open class, flies over a jump during an exhausting but exciting finish to the Loveday based event. Photo: DANNY HANRAHAN

Barry’s taxi win By CALLUM TRIFONOFF LOXTON taxi driver Barry Searle has been awarded for his contribution behind the wheel. The taxi driver was awarded South Australia’s Taxi Driver of the Year for the month of October. Having driven a taxi for a local company for about five years, Mr Searle was nominated by the local community and received the recognition at the Stamford Grand in Glenelg last month. Overwhelmed at winning, Mr Searle said it has been a pleasure delivering Riverland people to their desired destinations. “(It is) the best thing that could happen to me,” he said. “I’m really pleased.” Mr Searle said meeting many different types of characters is one of the best parts of the job. “Meeting a lot of old people (is enjoyable),” he said. “You take them to the doctors, the hairdressers, you have a chat. “I’ve known a lot of them for a number of years. “You get to know them.”

■ STAR POWER: Riverlander Cassie Bye recently worked to assist the launch of the 2012 Clipsal 500 Adelaide V8 Supercar event. Cassie helped with the media operations and also had the opportunity to meet V8 Supercar drivers (from left to right) Rick Kelly, Jason Bright, Tim Slade, Greg Murphy and James Courtney. Cassie will also be volunteering in the media centre at next year’s March event to be held as the first round of the V8 Supercars Championship.

Man breaks into car, steals phone ■ WIN: Loxton taxi driver Barry Searle (right) receives his Taxi Driver of the Year Award for October at an award ceremony in Adelaide recently.

AN 18-year-old Port Augusta man was arrested yesterday morning for illegal interference, theft and other offences. At around 1am yesterday, the man was allegedly located

by the owner in her car, which was parked at Renmark. After being approached the man took a mobile phone and fled the scene, only to be later located by local police.

RIVERLAND AUTO EXPO

Riverland Motorsport Club

Expo offers show car class S

OME of Australia’s best modified cars will be on display at this Saturday’s Riverland Auto Expo in Berri. Up to 2000 people are expected to flock to Berri No 2 Oval with visitors and exhibitors travelling from all over Australia for the event. Riverland Auto Expo co-ordinator Trevor Taylor said he expects around 130 vehicles to take part in the Show and Shine, with much hype surrounding the impressive cars to be on display. He said a range of entries can take part in the Riverland Motorsport Club run expo, including those vehicles that turn up on the day. “We are open for entries to any kind of motorsport vehicle,” Mr Taylor said. “It can be a classic car, it can be street rod, it can be a street machine, boats, off-road buggies, anything to do with motorsport.” The crowd pulling show cars to be on display includes an award winning purple modified XF Falcon named Psycho and a 32 Ford Tudor called Burnt 1. A Riverland drag car entry is also expected to create plenty of discussion with a Corvette top door slammer to be available for viewing at the weekend. The dyno machine is also set to

be well used, with anyone able to enter their car to measure its horsepower. “Anyone can just come along and for $50, they can put their car on the dyno, do a dyno run and get a read out of what their car is putting out,” Mr Taylor said. Mr Taylor said the show cars entering the Riverland Auto Expo are also on display in Adelaide at an earlier event. “We are putting on a show here where it costs you $7 for an adult to come in and see,” he said. “These cars that are appearing this weekend are going to an auto expo event in Adelaide called Extreme Horsepower and it’s $25 to get in the gate. “We are bringing these cars to

the country at a reasonable cost for people to see. “There is a lot of people talking about them already.” The Riverland Auto Expo runs from 10am to 4pm this Saturday for the public, while gates open for entrants at 7am, with cars to be judged for a show and shine trophy to be set up by 9am. There will also be a cruise from the Berri riverfront at 10am on Sunday, through Loxton and Barmera, with members of the public invited to join. Funds raised at this year’s Riverland Auto Expo will go towards the construction of the proposed drag strip at Barmera and the driver education facility.

Popular band continues to rock By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THERE is no doubt that The Door Snakes front man Tristan Kemp is a true rocker. Less than 48 hours after being operated on for appendicitis recently, the guitarist/ lead vocalist for one of the Riverlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite bands still managed to perform at a popular Loxton gig. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked the surgeon what the chances are of me going to be able to play a show Friday night and he said if I was really well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yeah all right, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave it a red, hot crack.â&#x20AC;? That is the dedication Tristan has to his music and with that passion in mind, he is looking forward to a big summer of playing shows throughout the region.

Moorookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekend of music THE annual Moorook Riverstock will take place this weekend, re-creating Woodstock 1969. Held on the banks of the river at Moorook, more than 20 live bands will feature during the three day festival, starting tomorrow. Special guest John Swan will be the highlight of the event, while a number of tourists will visit to take part in three days of non-stop entertainment. Entry to the event is just $5. For more information visit www.sawarriors.org. au or call 8583 9210.

A member of The Door Snakes for over seven years and having performed around 270 gigs, Tristan plans to keep on providing fans with great entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All three of us in the band, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re amazed weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still doing it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honour to play for people who come and see us.â&#x20AC;? Having performed so many songs in his time as a Door Snake, Tristan has one favourite that the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crowds embrace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recently, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added a song by the Bloodhound Gang, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called The Bad Touch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thrown that in because no other cover band plays that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has got a disco beat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a cool song. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows the

Quality locally grown lawn IF YOU are looking to add colour to your back or front yard, you will need quality, locally grown lawn. Berri business Torn Turf has a range of renowned lawns, which will suit the Riverland climate. With more than a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience in lawn growing, Torn Turf owner Morgan Tornow can offer advice on everything to do with lawn. Hit by the drought in recent years, many Riverland lawns have suffered and Morgan said relaying new grass is an easy process to help make your back or front yard look alive again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grow the lawn myself in the Riverland for Riverland climates and then supply it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The business concentrates on growing quality roll out turf and is able to arrange delivery to your door. Morgan guarantees the lawn is tough with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbeatableâ&#x20AC;? look and pricing is competitive. Torn Turf prides itself on deliveringg a

product which will satisfy the client every time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good seeing something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve established yourself,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes me proud, supplying people with a superior product.â&#x20AC;? For all enquiries, contact Morgan today on 0438 839 744.

SPORT

Plays and Misses with Graham Charlton and Brad Perry Twenty20 hit out THIS Sunday, the Riverland Turf Cricket Association will embark on a first, with the Twenty20 competition scheduled to take place. At this stage it is not known how many teams will participate but one feels the success of this day may decide whether there is a future for Twenty20 cricket in the region.

Concern for Mid Murray comp A meeting of the Mid Murray Association on Monday night was called to select a team for this Sunday’s scheduled inter-association match at Lameroo against Pinnaroo and Border decided to postpone the game until February due to a shortage of players being available for such a fixture at this time. Like in many other areas, player numbers are in fact an issue in the Mid Murray right now, with Cadell forfeiting to Wailkerie Gold last weekend and Morgan, in particular, also struggling to field a team. Talking to association president ‘Fred’ Tyler, he said both clubs were confident of having improved numbers in the next few weeks. However, our chat did get around to the future of the game in his area and indeed across the whole Murray Districts zone and we agreed the survey being instigated by Riverland chief Danial Shawyer needed to be considered seriously by clubs right across the region. I am going to be honest here. While I respected Danial’s enthusiasm and passion in launching his questionnaire, history has told me he was bowling into a strong wind in his vision of cricket being played regularly across the complete region. But after talking to ‘Fred’ it is not difficult to see that such a course of action may be the sport’s really big chance for the future.

Parrakie, Renmark North no shows YOU really do have to try to be positive about what lies ahead for our summer sports but as far as cricket is concerned, the last minute withdrawal of Parrakie and Renmark North from last Sunday’s Murray Districts games of the second state wide Twenty20 competition was another rude awakening. I do not have any information on the late scratchings but I do know the Riverland representative Berri was short on numbers for its match against the only other remaining team, North Broken Hill. On the other hand I saw the boys from Barrier arrive by bus at Berri after their long journey, looking very professional, uniformed up and ready to play. And play they did, earning the right to go onto the next level and possibly on to some worthwhile prize money and an appearance in an Adelaide Oval final.

Reynold’s big bash A GRADE batsman Danyal Reynolds made a lightning quick start in B grade cricket against Loxton Black recently. Reynolds shared a 32 run partnership with his opening batsman, who fell for a golden duck.

They are back AFTER moving out of the region, Loxton run machine Sam Hoffmann is expected to play several matches this season along with spinner Shaun Reilly.

Milo In2 Cricket RECOGNISED as Australia’s premier junior development program for the sport, Milo In2 Cricket caters for boys and girls from five to 10 years of age and is continuing to grow in popularity throughout the region. Reports from local co-ordinators indicate numbers are strong for the start of the 201112 season and the fact the youngsters have a lot of fun as they develop the skills of cricket is attracting family groups. Renmark, under co-ordinator Scott Free-

man (0418835285, email freeman.scott@ ymail.com) started at the Renmark Junior Primary and Primary School ovals last Saturday morning running from 9 to 10.30 am. There will be a total of 13 sessions held over the season during term four in 2011 and term one in 2012. A $60 registration fee includes a participation pack. Entry is available on line at in2cricket. com.au or at any session. Contact Scott after hours for further information.

The wall AFTER a season in the B grade last year, Berri batsman Todd Charlton is enjoying his return to A grade level with a solid unbeaten 90 in his team’s win over Loxton on the weekend. Talk in cricket circles is he could take the nickname of Indian batsman Rahul Dravid, The Wall.

Ready to fire ONE feels Loxton star Michael Gutsche is on the verge of a big score after an unusually slow start to the season.

Give everyone a bowl A total of 16 bowlers had a trundle in the Berri v Loxton A grade match on Saturday.

Taylor in form, team not WAIKERIE-RAMCO continues to struggle despite the efforts of Kym Taylor, who scored another 50 in the loss to Renmark.

Duck city for Brown’s Well FIVE ducks saw Brown’s Well bowled out for just 61 against Monash in the latest round of B grade cricket.

Softball’s three team A grade By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Riverland Softball Association will split into seperate A and B grade competitions in the new year as it attempts to find teams to compete at A grade level. Currently the A and B grade teams are combined in one competition after not enough teams nominated to play in the highest grade this season. The RSA has confirmed the season will also be a learning curve for inexperienced and younger players

with some likely to be competing in the A grade. The top three teams in the seven side competition will move into A grade after Christmas, while the rest will feature in the B grade. Across three senior grades there is currently 13 softball teams but the depth is a concern, according to RSA secretary Cara Venning. However, there is a large number of junior talent taking up the sport in a bid to possibly ensure its future in the region. “People have left

but we’ve gained others who haven’t played before,”Venning said. “(Round one) all went off pretty smoothly...a lot of the teams were on par.” The season is set to be unique as it will see several mother and daughters line up alongside each other. “We’ve got a few juniors and a few mums who have come back and they want to play with their kids,” Ms Venning said. “We’ve actually got a mother-daughter side and a junior side.”

Berri cricket legend’s 300th ■ From Page 32 “I will just play where I am selected and see what happens from there but each week is getting a bit harder,” he said. Clifford’s career highlights include a large number of premierships, representation for the South Australian second X11 and SA Country team and individually, scoring back-toback unbeaten double centuries on the local scene. “I’ve had some great times playing cricket over the years and I’ve had a bit of luck along the way,” Clifford said.

you might get a bit excited or have a few words to say but that’s part of cricket and once off the field, it’s all pretty well forgotten,” he said. The facilities, including ovals and pitches, are a positive for Clifford over many years of evolving local cricket. “What the players who are playing now have to realise is I think we are very fortunate to have the facilities we’ve got up here and to have a strong umpiring panel is a luxury,” Clifford said. “There are not too many country leagues that have that.”

■ Matthew ‘Doc” Clifford. The respected Berri star has been the thorn in the side of many opposition teams over the years and Clifford said sometimes things have got heated on the field. “Sometimes on the field

Spinning his web LOXTON Black’s Pat Portolesi, who had never bowled a ball in a competitive match before this season, claimed five wickets against Wunkar. Most of the time Pat has no idea what he is bowling, including an impressive mixutre of off-spin, leg-spin and the odd fast bouncer.

Paringa’s upset win PARINGA scored an unexpected win over Lyrup in the Renmark District competition, with Nathan Rover leading the way belting 62.

Change of format? THE Riverland Turf Cricket Association is currently hearing from clubs around the Riverland, Mallee and Mid Murray about the future format. It will be interesting to see what comes out of the feedback.

DRS system must go

Junior stars set to shine

I AM not sure what to make of the Decision Review System and whether there is a future for it in international cricket. A number of current series, including West Indies versus Pakistan are not using the technology known as the DRS system. Without the extra technology, it brings back the traditions of the game and while I am certain maybe two or three decisions would have been turned around, the players accepted the decision. The game is more natural without the DRS system. The other problem is the International Cricket Council is only willing to pay for three quarters of the technology at selected grounds. Snicko and Hotspot are often hard to read, with LBW decisions relying on a predicted path. I say leave cricket alone and stick with the umpires’ decision. We have been doing it for hundreds of years, so why change now?

FOUR finalists from a field of 14 nominations have been selected ahead of the Riverland Sportsperson of the Year awards. Dalton Casey (hockey), Ellee Eleftheriadis (basketball/netball), Ryan Goodes (boxing) and Riley Stone (Volleyball) have all had outstanding years and will be vying for the 2011 Peter Frankcom Junior Sports Star Awards on November 18. The four athletes stood out from a talented field which included Sean Burgess (hockey), Stephanie Sarro (netball), Taylee Howard (netball), Simone Schubert (Volleyball), Alisha Rudiger (equestrian), Stephanie Baird (hockey), Juliet Mallinson (hockey, soccer, tennis), Tyson Joannou (off-road racing, boxing) and Adam Shaw (volleyball, hockey). The award acknowledges athletes aged between 13 to 18 years of age who are competing at national, state and Riverland level over the past 12 months.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS

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

WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Dallas is a true sporting tragic ■ TALKING to Riverland Make A Wish branch head Dallas Zeliff on 5RM’s Sports Saturday program a couple of weeks ago about his fundraising Fun, Run and Walk that was held at Lake Bonney last Sunday, he made an observation that my co-host Trevor Scott and I “must be the oldest pair on radio”. Already that morning on the journey into the station, I had found myself reflecting that, the day being my daughter`s 45th birthday, I could recall arranging for “Sixteen Candles” to be played for her in my early days with the program. And Trevor Scott by comparison is a relatively young man. Leaving 5RM after Dallas’ comment, I used as much supportive railing as I could find. Dallas indeed does some great work for Make A Wish and believing he himself may have spent some time in radio at some stage, I thought it was worth a follow up. The answer came back yes, he had done some interviewing for a radio progam when employed by the Sturt Football Club and after moving to the Riverland, he had in fact gone into 5RM for two years around 1997-98 on Sunday mornings to present a results show. “But I got the sack,” he said. Dallas is Adelaide born and bred and spent his early years aged one to eight with his parents in America, before returning to SA and attending Alberton Primary School, then Findon High. “My favourite subjects were english, maths, sport, recess and lunch,” he said. “I failed each year but somehow was promoted to the next level on some sort of probation arrangement and got enough on board to get a job with the Department of

■ REFLECTING: Dallas Zeliff has had a long association with sport, both locally and in Adelaide. Works in Woomera between the ages of 17 and 23.” After that, Dallas moved back to the city and spent seven years with a finance company but at the same time this young man, who had been brought up in a “typical Port Adelaide family”, spent seven years working on a casual basis around the licenced club in enemy territory with the Norwood Redlegs.

I gave up both football and cricket when I was 54, so no doubt I have had a good innings.

Apart from playing nearly every sport available in Woomera, he became involved in sports management and administration, so not surprisingly that casual position at Norwood led to two years managing the club’s licenced area. From there he moved to the Sturt Football Club as marketing manager and after

eight years took over as general manager at the Pooraka Football Club. “That was a great little football club,“ he said. “We won five flags, were runners up three times and only missed the finals once in the 11 years I was there.” After a bit of a health scare, Dallas opted for a change in lifestyle and in 1995 headed for the Riverland where he managed the Berri Football Club for three years. Since 1998 he has worked in the wine, almond and olive industries, at the Tower Tavern in Renmark, and before he retired, seven years arranging employment for people with disabilities at Community Bridging Services. “I really enjoyed that work,“ Dallas said. “It was great to be able to help to find jobs for those people.” It is no surprise then that Dallas has spent some 12 years as president of the local branch of Make A Wish. He also spent a couple of seasons umpiring in the local football competition. Dallas certainly has fit a lot into his life, in fact in chatting to him, it suddenly dawned on me that he must be nearly as old as I am. “You know you are getting old Charlie when you are a life member at three clubs, one in Woomera, at Pooraka and with Super Rules, where I was captain/coach of the SA over 40s for two years,” he said. “I gave up both football and cricket when I was 54, so no doubt I have had a good innings.” Apart from his work with Make A Wish Dallas’ love today is golf. “I am a golfing tragic,” he admitted. “I am not much good but I reckon I could claim fame as a pretty good social player.” A pretty old one at that.

King won a high quality final of the local zone competition.

Berri bowler is king of the zone ■ BERRI’S Graeme King is representing the North East zone at the State Open Bowls Singles Championship in Adelaide on Sunday. King, a consistent performer with his club, won a high quality final of the local zone competition against another in-form player, Waikerie’s Roger Davies, 25–23, at Waikerie. Along the way he defeated some formidable opponents too, coming through his section undefeated and then beating club mate Pieter Raams, 21-8 and Renmark RSL’s John Van Der Wyst 21-15 on the path to a showdown with Davies, who had won his finals matches against Loxton’s Trevor Schulz 21-13 and Barossa’s Bob Mnatyszyn 22-2. Meanwhile, last Sunday the Riverland produced a massive reversal of the disappointing results of 2010 when they won both the annual Carbis and Walsh Shield competitions against Sunraysia.

ASICS 1160 were $160

led his team to a 31-21 victory, Gary Pursche (Waikerie) won 21-15, John Thompson (Renmark) 27-13 and Peter Kimber (Loxton) 23-15. At Barmera, the Riverland had a seven rinks to three, 256-193, win in the Walsh Shield clash. Winning rinks for the home side were led by Eric Andison (Barmera), Des Button (Berri) Lew Westbrook (Loxton RSL), Mark Voigt (Monash), Chad Pantic (Moorook), Ian Carnachan (Renmark) and Neil Dunstan (Renmark RSL). There are a lot of things about this sport that are on the right bias in season 201112, including unpredictable competitions in both the women’s and men’s pennant programs and now success at inter-association level. Let us hope our top bowlers are inspired by all of this success and we see them in country carnivals and round robins in Adelaide in 2012.

Bondage puts in sensational peformance at Queensland event ■ A GROUP from the Berri Water Ski Club have just returned from Queensland’s biggest power boat spectacular, Bundaberg’s Bundy Thunder at Wide Bay. In a sensational performance, Berri’s Brian Jeffrey with his boat Bondage, finished third in the largest six-litre race in Australia, the Larry Martin Memorial event. Not so fortunate were the True Blue team from West Australia, who are great supporters of the Berri club, and in fact, house their boat in the

Movember Sensational shoe sale Continues

Last year in the Carbis Shield for division one bowlers, the Riverland won half of the eight rinks contested but went down by 24 shots overall at Barmera, while in the Walsh Shield game for lower division players at Merbein, the home side completely outplayed the Riverland. This time it was different and a change in selection policy obviously got the best team out on the greens from the players available and produced a great outcome for our local association. With interstate rivalry making these contests what they are, it is always especially pleasing to win in enemy territory, so in the Carbis Shield the five rinks to three, 181 to 145 shots, victory at Merbein was right up there amongst some of the RBA’s best wins. King continued to taste success as he was a member of his Berri club mate Mark Kubank’s rink that won 2513, Dennis Treloar (Berri)

Riverland permanently. Despite a considerable amount of preparation for this event, mechanical issues prevented True Blue getting out on the water but the group are hoping that a new motor will see them ready for their next appearance at the Speedboat Spectacular in January. On a lighter note, well known Berri man Keith Schrapel was on the trip and had an unexpected moment of fame, not in the boats but as a singer. The party were out on the town on Saturday

night and having a bit of a sing-a-long, with Keith obviously the standout performer with his Elvis Presley style. His performance impressed some officials from the power boat event who happened to be listening, as Keith was invited to sing the national anthem before the biggest race on the program the next day. In front of some 6000 people, you could apparently hear a pin drop during Keith’s rendition and he received a thunderous ovation at the end befitting the occasion.

SPORT

Bob Proud; a true champion â&#x2013; I WAS saddened to hear of the passing in Victor Harbor last week of Bob Proud, one of the Riverlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best ever all-round sports people. I consider myself fortunate to have seen Bob play during a remarkable period for the Loxton Football Club from around 1955 until his retirement in 1962 and to be both his teammate and, perhaps not so fortunately, an opponent on the cricket field. Bob was an outstanding footballer, in fact, it should not be necessary to say anything more than in the local leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centenary year in 2009, he was included in the Riverland Legendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team of the Century and was also named as captain of the Champions Team of the Century. But I must elaborate. Tall and light of frame, he was an exceptional athlete, immaculate with his fine left

foot disposal and ball handling, either in the air or on the ground, and excelling mainly as a forward or ruckman. He first pulled on a Loxton guernsey in 1945, following World War II, as a 15-yearold in the unofficial Bonney Friendly Association and from the following season, he was immediately a key member of a team that won four premierships in a row. Then from 1950 to 1954, he lived on the Yorke Peninsula playing with the Minlaton and Western United clubs. At the same time, Bob travelled to Adelaide from time to time to appear with the North Adelaide league side. In fact, he led the ruck in Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiership win in 1952 and then in a full season in the city competition the following year, gained a place in SAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team for the

Australian Carnival. In that 1952 SANFL grand final, North defeated Norwood in a debacle after quarter time, 23-15 (153) to 6-9 (45), with Bob starting at full forward and kicking two goals and three behinds.

tired, he played in another six premierships, captained the club in four seasons and was best and fairest each year from 1955 until 1958. He won the then Upper Murray Football Association Whillas Medal in 1955

Tall and light of frame, he was an exceptional athlete. That was also the game in which Ian McKay soared to his famous mark over Pat Hall. After 61 games in the SANFL, Bob returned to Minlaton in 1954 giving him four seasons on the Yorke Peninsula, earning one association best and fairest win and three runner-up honours. He headed home to Loxton in 1955. From there until he re-

and 1956, played 26 matches for UMFA representative teams, serving 20 of those matches as captain. Like many players from the era, Bob played the game fairly but was at the same time an extremely determined competitor. Which leads to a story from the 1957 grand final that is etched into local football folklore. I was at the Berri Oval

that day supporting Loxton and remember heading to the family car prematurely, with Renmark seemingly poised to grab the flag as they led by three goals with only minutes remaining. I recall my disbelief when Dad appeared with the news that Loxton had stolen the game by one point with seconds to go. The source of an observation from the Renmark camp that the game looked all over bar the shouting is disputed but I always understood that it was directed at Bob by an opponent, drawing the curt reply â&#x20AC;&#x153;like hell it isâ&#x20AC;?. Proud was right in the thick of the remarkable late Loxton surge and was named his clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best player for the day. Talking cricket, I am convinced that if Bob had pursued the summer sport as strongly as he did football,

it would have been the same story over again. A lively left arm bowler with the ability to swing the ball into the right hander or cut it away and to vary his pace to suit the conditions, Bob tormented batsmen over a long period, whether he was playing for Loxton, the local association or Murray Districts teams. I also witnessed Bob play some useful tennis when we were part of a memorable cricket come social annual exchange with Eden Hills. He was also a competent golfer and in latter years when he left the area, finally retiring with his wife Deb to Victor Harbor,he proved to be an extremely good lawn bowler. Bob was another of those sports people that played it hard but fair and at the same time gained the respect of both friend and foe. Well played Bob.

Bev receives just rewards

â&#x2013; TOP SEASON: Loxton hockey young gun Sean Burgess (right) has been awarded Adelaide University Hockey Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rising Star award, topping off a strong season.

â&#x2013; RENMARKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Bev O`Loughlin is well known for her support of a number of sporting bodies over the years and her dedication and conscientious work for Riverland SAPSASA in particular. Her tasks, which included managing finances and assisting at district

carnivals, was deservedly acknowledged recently when she was awarded life membership of the organisation at a recent SAPSASA district meeting. The local presentation was supported by another, a State SAPSASA Service award, coming from headquarters in Adelaide.

Stand-out season for young Loxton hockey player â&#x2013; THE announcement that promising young Loxton player Sean Burgess has taken out the 2011 Adelaide University Hockey Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rising Star award caps of an amazing period in the seventeenyear-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career so far. A product of Loxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior program, Seanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win in that prestigious award follows 12 months after his team and club mate Steven Trezise won the same trophy. For such a young player you would have thought it would have been tough for him to eclipse the outstanding 2010 season. Back then Sean played both under 18 and senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey for Loxton, he was named best on ground in the under 18 grand final and was selected in the Riverland Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team of the year at both junior and senior levels. For his home club, he won the A Grade menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best and fairest trophy. He had also been named in the state under 18 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad, so it was no surprise that on Riverland grand final day he was invited by the Adelaide University Club to tryout for the highest competition you can play in this state, Premier League.

In the off-season, if you can call it that, Sean firstly attended three trials in Adelaide for selection in the final state under 18 squad and was chosen to play in the national competition for the age group in Hobart, in April this year. This necessitated initially two then three weekly trips to Adelaide from January to March for state squad practice sessions. Also during that period Sean took part in those Adelaide Uni tryouts and gained a position in its 2011 Premier League squad. After the under 18 trip to Hobart, he started commuting to Adelaide to train with this new club on Tuesdays and play in matches on weekends. By then, of course, he was also into a new 2011 season with his home club Loxton, training once a week and again, playing both under 18 and A grade matches on either Friday nights or on Saturdays. So if 2010 had been hectic, 2011 was to become even more so, remembering that he is still a student at Loxton High School. He played for the SA senior Country Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team in

the National Championships in August and it is here that I recall getting a real feel (from the state coach Berriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brett Stokes) of where this young man may be heading in his career. Brett spoke about Seanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding ability as a player but even more so about his approach, his determination and his never say die attitude. As far as the 2011 season went, he pretty much ticked the same boxes as in the previous season. Except that he added an A grade premiership with Loxton to the list. Best on ground in the A grade grand final, best team player at Loxton, a member of the Riverland Team of the Year, again they all went into the Burgess trophy cabinet. Now Sean has been invited by Hockey SA to participate in the Emerging Athlete Program, which is a South Australian Sports Institute program for aspiring athletes. Hockey SAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high performance manager Nick Lenoir will deliver this program. Sean has also been included in the nominations for the 2010-11 Riverland Sportsperson of the Year Award.

Impressive milestone

‘DOC’ REACHES 300 GAMES

Riverland softball to split season

By BRAD PERRY THE man who is regarded as one of the Riverland’s greatest cricketers will this weekend record his 300th A grade game in the local competition. Berri batsman Matthew ‘Doc’ Clifford has had a stellar career and is hoping to celebrate his milestone match with a win over top ranked Renmark. The modest cricketer said he has enjoyed the camaraderie and competitiveness of the Riverland Turf Cricket Association, where he has won 15 premierships. “In the end it’s another game of cricket but I’m proud

to play that many games for Berri,” Clifford said. “Hopefully we can get out there and give Renmark a bit of a shake-up and enjoy a couple of quiet ones afterwards with a few of the mates I’ve played with for a long time. “A lot of the guys I’ve played cricket with for 25 years in the A grade...are my best mates now.” While there was talk at the beginning of the season that Clifford would announce his retirement at A grade level following his 300th match, he said he is keen to play on.
