SURGEON RECRUITED
By BRAD PERRY
AN experienced Adelaide medical professional has been appointed to the position of general surgeon at the Riverland Regional Hospital in Berri. After working at the Lyell McEwin Hospital, Chetan Pradhan will lead the delivery of general
surgery in the Riverland when he begins in his position on December 15. Country Health SA chief executive Belinda Moyes welcomes Mr Pradhan's appointment to the important role. “I look forward to welcoming Mr Pradhan and having him lead the delivery of general surgery
in this exciting time, where we will have enhanced services and facilities through the $41 million redevelopment of the Berri Hospital,� she said. “Mr Pradhan will be supported through the retention of the current visiting specialist services from the Flinders Medical Service as we pursue the appointment of a second
general surgeon.� Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said he would like to see experienced surgeons in the region retained long term. “I would like to think that with the redevelopment of the regional hospital, we will see the region offer more to the medical fraternity outside the area,� he said.
“A resident medical surgeon living in the region helps alleviate pressure put on people having to travel to Adelaide or to other regional hospitals to have surgery.�

EDITORIAL BY
BRAD PERRY
Minister Hill must review PATS HEALTH Minister John Hill claims to know nothing about the concerns brought up by the Loxton and Districts Health Advisory Council regarding changes to the Patient Assisted Transport Scheme. He refuted claims the changes were not well advertised. Why is then residents from Loxton were not aware the PAT scheme had changed? The newly calculated route is hard to get your head around and I am not the one having to drive on it on a regular basis. Minister Hill said the route under PATS should be direct. Commonsense. I agree, so why does the route take in so many unusual roads, some which are only used by farming communities? Why not just use the Sturt Highway? Let’s hope the minister looks into the current set-up and listens to the valid concerns of the Loxton and Districts HAC. Most people are not as concerned about the $10 less in assistance. They just want a smooth ride to Adelaide to see their doctor.

Almondco general manager Brenton Woolston said the pasteurisation processing equipment will improve the company’s international market. “Food safety internationally is getting tougher and tougher,” Mr Wool-
ston said. “(The funding) really puts a great assurance on our product about quality and food safety.” Mr Woolston said the $4.2 million pasteurisation project, which will see the company’s almond intake grow to 25,000 tonnes, will be finished in the first half of next year. “The system that we’ll be putting in the first half of next year enables our business that guarantee of ultimate food safety,” he said. Almondco currently has 80 per cent of Australia’s almond growers who represent 30 per cent of the nation’s harvest. Just under $5 million has been spent out of the

he said. The Riverland needs to have more luxury accommodation to attract new travellers to the region, according to Mr Caire. “We also hope that in the future...if there is more volume built around the four star range then the Riverland will start to attract a completely different market than we have in the past,” he said. The overall project at the site will also include a refurbishment of the Woolshed accommodation and once the function centre is finished, Mr Caire hopes to attract weddings from outside the region.

The project titled YouTube Monologues will provide young people and emerging artists with the opportunity to develop monologues and perform them live through internet link-up with other local schools and beyond. Riverland Youth Theatre general manager Brett Spilsbury said the funding success is a great win for the region. “The immediacy and novelty of using YouTube for live performance overcomes traditional barriers of travel and costs,” he said. “Young people can approach playwriting in a new way which allows them to connect with each other in the region, Australia and the world.” The project will provide playwriting workshops in schools and communities which will focus on introducing and developing playwriting skills with leading young SA based and UK born playwright, Emily Steel.
By BRAD PERRY PIKE River Luxury Villas owner Andrew Caire is urging the Riverland to embrace the high end accommodation market after the award winning tourism business was successfully approved for $340,000 from the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund on Tuesday. The Lyrup based tourism destination will use the funds as part of a $680,000 project to construct two new villas and an eco-friendly function centre. Mr Caire said since opening five years ago, the highly rated accommodation has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from local, interstate and international guests. “We weren’t going to be able to do this project unless we got some support,”
tures Fund is the first in the tourism category that ticks all the boxes. “I can only look at and approve those applications that I receive, so this has been the first tourism application that I have received that fulfils the criteria and that’s been disappointing that there hasn’t been a broader scope of applications coming through,” she said.

Murray Zircon eyes 2012 opening for Mindarie Mine By BRAD PERRY MINING and resources company Murray Zircon is expecting the currently dormant Mindarie Mine will be reopened and operating within a year. Around 50 people attended a meeting at the East Murray Community Centre on Tuesday night where the mining company addressed a number of topics including its mining methodology, transport, worker accommodation and returning land to owners. Murray Zircon company secretary Steve McEwen said a case was put forward regarding
rehabilitation of the surrounding land. “There was some concerns about the rehabilitation process and the company explained how they would progressively rehabilitate through better mining
ing for at least five years plus in the future. “With the new mining management systems from the very beginning, we will need to establish that the mining methodology works and the credibility
Clearly we understand their concerns from the previous rehabilitation processes. management systems that would mean there was a faster return of land to the farmer,� he said. “Some of the more vocal landowners more than likely won’t be affected by the min-
will be restored as that unfolds. “Clearly we understand their concerns from the previous rehabilitation processes and we believe that we have that covered by the fact we will be opening far
less area in the future activities.� Mr McEwen said transportation of the concentrate is likely to be by road and there was also discussion during the meeting related to establishing a worker’s camp in the Wanbi area. With zircon prices continuing to remain strong, Mr McEwen said solid returns will factor into whether the mine reopens. “The price of zircon has increased in the past 12 to 18 months quite a bit and that all helps the commercial viability of the project going forward,� he said.
CIT explores diesel to help cut rising energy costs By BRAD PERRY A LOCAL irrigation trust is assessing the viability of using diesel generation in off peak periods to reduce escalating energy costs. The Central Irrigation Trust has spoken to a major power generating company and plans to visit Barossa irrigation sites currently using the diesel generation successfully. Central Irrigation Trust chief executive officer Gavin McMahon said a 25 per cent rise in electricity costs in the current financial year has forced the group to look at alternative options. “We have looked at diesel generation just for very small times, so not so much for the production of energy but just for the size of the transmission lines that we need into places that we’ve got,� he said. “Instead of saying we require that much, we can drop the size down because you get charged for the highest use you have in any half hour period in a year. “If we can knock that down by just flicking a diesel generator for a period of time and it might only be a few hours a year, that is a possibility and that is something that we are looking at.� Mr McMahon said there is still many unanswered questions as it looks into diesel generation. “We are not committing to it but it is certainly something we have had a look at and we’ve been talking to Cummins about the possibility of doing that and we’ll go and have a look at a few sites that are set up for it,� he said. “They are all costly to set up and the question is what’s the payback period for it or what’s the return over the life of that asset. “Initial figures show you might be able to get some paybacks on it.�
SCAMMERS claiming to represent the Australian Government have targeted Waikerie in recent days as the town cleans up from last week’s storm. The cold-call scam operation, where the scammer announces themselves as the Australian Government Grants Department, is being used to entice people whose homes or properties were effected by the storm. The scam calls may include requests of financial donations to pay off government debt, a fee to release grant funding or will involve the names of prominent Australians. It is understood scammers have contacted local families with very personal details offering grants services or grants upon payment.

■CONCERN: Central Irrigation Trust chief executive officer Gavin McMahon said the company has done everything it can to attempt to reduce rising electricity bills and will now look at diesel generation. Photo: BRAD PERRY CIT has joined the Energy Users Association of Australia in a bid to lobby against the current electricity pricing schedule and the business has also looked at a number of other options to save money. “We’ve spoken to ETSA and unfortunately we didn’t get a lot of joy in terms of reduction prices,� Mr McMahon said. “However, we did sit down with them and we looked at our demand tariffs and so that’s the size of the pipeline that we require for each site, and we have readjusted that on some of the major sites. “That’s enabled us to make a small saving across some of the bigger sites that we operate under but there is some risk associated with that, if we happen to go over the demand that we’ve chosen, then we’ll be charged back to where we originally were.� Solar and wind options to generate energy have also been looked at but are not financially viable, according to Mr McMahon.
Pumping station upgrade behind schedule ALMOST 1000 growers and domestic users will be further impacted by a delay in the $4 million upgrade of the Berri Central Irrigation Trust pumping station. Work on the station will continue 10 days after the original deadline of December 16 and will only be able to run at 50 per cent during what is expected to be peak irrigation time during the summer. Central Irrigation Trust chief executive officer Gavin McMahon urged growers to plan around the pump station upgrade delays. “There is limited capacity there (during the delay) and particularly if we get into some really hot weather where everybody wants to water at the same time, we may not have the capacity to supply that,� he said. “So we are just asking the growers in Berri just to think ahead a little bit and maybe order and water before those really peak hot periods come in so we can just spread that load out. “Instead of peaking on a certain day, we can spread it out over
a couple of days either side of those hot spells. “To date the Berri growers have been fantastic. “They’ve been very appreciative and have been working around that capacity that we’ve got and all I’m asking for is another 10 days grace so we can get it all up and running by Christmas.� Mr McMahon said the delays have been caused by late shipments and some parts being force to be remodelled. Once the station is upgraded, Mr McMahon said it will be the shining light of the district. “We’ll have a really state-ofthe-art system, it will respond a lot better than it currently does,� he said. “Currently we get fluctuations in pressures in the line, that is just by the way the system operates, a lot of those fluctuations will disappear. “We’ve had some reliability issues with Berri in the past few years and the station should be very, very reliable when we’re finished.�

Chemist plans shelved By BRAD PERRY
■ LISTENING: RTIR Committee chair Rosemary Sinclair listens to a topic raised by those in attendance at a meeting in Berri last week.
No quick fix for coverage By BRAD PERRY THERE is no quick fix to rectify the lack of telephone coverage in the Riverland, a group of interested stakeholders and members of the public were told during a telecommunications meeting last week. The 2011-12 Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee held a meeting at the Berri town hall with around 10 members and representatives in attendance. While much of the discussion during the meeting evolved around the roll-out of the National Broadband Network, RTIR Committee chair Rosemary Sinclair said telephone communication is vital in rural areas such as the Riverland. However, she said erecting a new phone tower was a lengthy process, generally taking up to 18 months. “It’s not a trivial thing, you don’t just say we need another mobile phone tower and click (it is erected),” she said. “So long term planning is the order of the day and they are not cheap, you are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars for towers. “It’s why you have to look at the business case and then look at mixes of funding to make it happen.” The committee will address the lack of telephone coverage in the region in its RTIRC report to be handed to the Federal Government in the coming months. “I think the message there is that mobile phone services have become so enmeshed in everyday life that it’s a terrible shock when you get to a point on the highway or on a farm and there is no coverage,” Ms Sinclair said. “We are exploring that and it’s not going to be an easy one because there’s a commercial basis to building a tower. “We’re pushing the boundaries now to think how we can extend coverage to where people want it and that might mean we’ve got to explore partnerships between the commercial operators and government and perhaps there is some business interest in mining or agribusiness. “If we can explore those partnerships then that might provide a model for extending the coverage.”
PLANS by a major national chemist retail chain to build a new store in Renmark creating up to 50 jobs will be shelved unless the Federal Government reverses a decision restricting where pharmacies can be established. Chemist Warehouse has previously identified potential sites in Renmark for a new store but proposed changes to the location rules, which governs where pharmacies can be constructed, means the potential investment will more than likely not go ahead.

there to be demand and you think you should put a pharmacy there, then all you need to ascertain is that there is no pharmacy for one and a half kilometres in one direction and then you can open,” he said.
As it stands, the changed relocation laws would stop us from opening that site. Grace said the new rules would deem it impossible to establish a chemist in Renmark, due to the town not having the required infrastructure. “The relocation laws as they stood previously said that if you can find an area where you deem
“Now you have to have a large supermarket and a doctor’s surgery within 500 metres of where you are going to open. “As it stands, the changed relocation laws would stop us from opening that site.” Mr Grace said there are sever-
al sites in Renmark that would be suitable to build a Chemist Warehouse, which operates across Australia. “We know where there is sufficient health spend or pharmacy business to make it viable and commercial for one of our stores,” he said. “Our aim in this is to get these rules overturned. “If we are successful we would love to come and open (in Renmark).” Chemist Warehouse is calling upon the Coalition and the Greens to vote against the changes in Parliament and the company is currently encouraging people to sign a petition against the proposed regulations.
Storm highlights lack of SES volunteers By BRAD PERRY THE Berri State Emergency Service is calling on more volunteers to join its ranks, with last week’s devastating thunderstorm highlighting the chronic shortage. Just three Berri SES volunteers were available to attend call-outs during Wednesday’s weather events and the shortage of volunteers meant equipment which could have been used was not. Berri SES deputy manager Bill Roos said the situation was overwhelming and with just seven active volunteers, the lack of volunteers is dire. “We need more volunteers to help when a situation comes up like last week,” he said. “We were just overwhelmed because we didn’t have the members to cover all the problems we had. “None of our crew had any time off from the time we started until we finished around about midnight. “Then the next day we were going around doing clean-up and there was only four of us doing the whole lot.” Mr Roos said the service needs at least 20 volunteers to run sufficiently. “We need at least 20 so a lot of the pressure comes off the others because a lot of the older members are having to do the

whole lot,” he said. Current volunteers have also not had time to be trained in areas such as storm recovery because they are often filling several roles, according to Mr Roos. “It means we can’t give the community the service it deserves,” he said. “We really need more members to give the coverage for the area. “Houses with their roofs came off (in the storm), which
we couldn’t help with because we are not trained in it.” Volunteer Kenneth Bell said he was forced to take on a leadership role during last Wednesday’s call-outs due to a lack of numbers. “When we first rolled out there was a crew of three and I found out I was (second in charge) of the situation which was a bit of a shock considering I’ve only been in here for five or six months,” he said.
Insurers assess damage
“I was just thrown into the situation and you’ve got to deal with it the best you can. “It would have been good to get fully crewed appliances turning out, so there were more hands on the trucks. “We’ve got three main turn out vehicles here and if we had of had enough people to crew them sufficiently, we would have been able to get a lot more done and help out the community when they were really in need.” Mr Bell, who moved to the Riverland earlier this year, said there are many positive and rewarding aspects to volunteering. “It’s great fun, you learn great skills that are not only helpful for your personal life but also for work and it looks good on your resume,” he said. Fellow volunteer Nirvana Hunter-Crouch said she moved from New South Wales this year and she said joining the Berri SES has been very enjoyable. “Where I am from we have a lot of floods and things like that,” she said. “I came up here and realised there was a lot more to it than I’d ever thought. “I never realised how in-depth the SES actually goes.” All ages can join the SES, if you would like more information contact the Berri station on 8582 2223.

RIVERLAND insurance brokers are expecting a flood of calls in the coming weeks as locals assess the damage of last Wednesday’s freak thunderstorm. Many homes lost rooves, trees collapsed on houses and cars and flying debris caused damage during the event described by weather experts as a minitornado. RAA claims manager Tony Phillips said up to 35 claims have already been lodged, with the damage totals reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars. “We had some claims up to $15 to $20,000 dollars,” Mr Phillips said. One of the towns hit hardest by the weather event was Waikerie and SGIC business sales
executive James McInnes said a number of claims have come in from the town. “There’s been some from Renmark as well, there was a shed that went down,” Mr McInnes said. “Not all of (the claims) are that big, mainly trees coming down or a bit of storm damage to the house or sheds.” Local builder Trevor Faehrmann said he expects many small trade businesses to receive enquiries regarding insurance work. “It will happen, it always happens,” Mr Faehrmann said. “Everybody’s out looking at damage, they can’t really do anything yet.” ETSA Utilities’ Paul Roberts said the response to the power failure following the storm in the region was
the biggest ever undertaken at a local level. More than 5000 homes in the region were without power on Wednesday night and crews worked overtime to repair the damage. “They were stretched all over the Riverland,” Mr Roberts said. “Waikerie was one of the worst affected in terms of damage but there was a lot of damage to the network across the Riverland.” ETSA had volunteers working until Saturday to help restore power. “We got up to 29 crews in the area during the response, plus additional staff,” Mr Roberts said. “Near Waikerie, we had nearly a kilometre of line down in one span so there was a lot of big jobs to do. “It’s the biggest response we’ve ever undertaken.”
By CALLUM TRIFONOFF A BENCH honouring the work of volunteers in Berri has been vandalised in what is being described as a callous act. The mosaic seat outside the Berri Visitor Information Centre may now have to be sanded back and restored with the graffiti possibly burnt into the wood. The bench has been part of the Berri VIC since 2003 when it was designed to commemorate the work volunteers put into the Berri community. The vandalism had left community members shocked and appalled. “It was built
to celebrate something positive... it acknowledges the volunteers,” tourism co-ordinator Ella Winnall said. “It’s just such a shame.” “We’re hoping most of the damage is just in the varnish and not burnt into the wood itself which would be really bad.” Despite the Berri VIC having closedcircuit television security cameras, Ms Winnall said there is only so much the centre can do. “We do have some CCTV, one pointing towards the memorial,” she said. “It’s hard even if we look at CCTV to pinpoint who did this.”

Hill: Patients will determine future of smaller hospitals THE Renmark Paringa Health Advisory Council will make a presentation to Country Health SA later this month as the group outlines its intentions to retain services and doctors at the Renmark Hospital. A Renmark Hospital working party met for the first time last week to discuss the future intentions of the facility. Renmark Paringa HAC presiding member Karen Brown said there are concerns about retaining doctors and gaining state government funding. “We have concerns about losing any surgeries and we will do our upmost best to retain what we have because we think it fits quite nicely with our hospital,” she said. e ve got the “We’ve got the staff, we’ve facilities and we have the surgeons willing to come so we think we’ve got a very good case. “There is no guarantee we are going to retain all surgeries and we have to be very mindful of that but we will fight to keep as much as we can.” The operating theatre at the Renmark Hospital is just six years old and Mrs Brown said in the long term, the facility will be forced to rely on funding. “There will come a time where we’re going to need to upgrade the facilities, our equipment scopes and so

BRAD PERRY forth, and when we talk about these types of scopes, we are talking a lot of money and unless Country Health SA fund that, then it is not possible, we may not be able to get it out of our own budget,” she said. “We know there is not a limitless pool of money and we know we have to look at how we deliver our services a lot smarter and part of that is educating the community to look after their own health at home, so it doesn’t impact as much on the hospital and on the surgeries.”
There is no guarantee we are going to retain all surgeries. State Health Minister John Hill said there must be collaboration across hospitals in the Riverland district but he said ultimately the future of other health facilities, once the Berri hospital development is completed in 2013, relies on foot traffic. “The real decisions about what will happen in each of the hospitals will be how patients behave and how doctors behave and if they choose to
work here and not there or if they choose to work here and not there, then ultimately the system will sort itself out,” he said. “I think common sense will tell you, if you’ve got a big hospital here which has got a broad range of services, then this is where most people will choose to go to receive help. “I think in the future this will be the centre for surgery, it will be the centre for mental health, it will be the centre for a whole range of the more complex things that we need to do in our health care system and that will mean that the other hospitals will have to think through their roles very carefully. “We would advocate very strongly that they collaborate, work together and think through what the model of care will be for this broad Riverland community and what roles each of the hospitals will have.” Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said each Riverland hospital has great facilities and offers a number of specialised services. “Those services need to be obtained and the Minister is very much aware of my view and of the community’s view that those services need to be underpinned with some security in the long term,” he said.
Calls for Patient Assisted Transport Scheme to be reviewed By BRAD PERRY WHILE a number of Loxton residents are being forced to take an unusual route to Adelaide for specialist health care under new Patient Assisted Transport Scheme regulations, State Health Minsiter John Hill claims he knows nothing about their concerns. The Loxton and Districts Health Advisory Council raised grievances with changes to the calculated route after the Riverland Weekly revealed people using the service would lose $10 per trip. However, Minister Hill said he is not aware of the issue. “I can’t recall it being brought to my attention,” he said. “If there is an issue there I am happy to have a look at it.
“I’m not sure what routes people take but if there is a distance between two places, normally you take the shortest, feasible distance between those two places on sealed roads.
If there is a distance between two places, normally you take the shortest, feasible distance.
“I’m not sure what evidence they (Loxton and Districts HAC) have but obviously if they think something has been done incorrectly we can have a look at it.” Minister Hill said if a patient is being asked to travel on unsealed roads, that is unfair.

“If they are unsealed roads that people are being asked to use I think that would be unreasonable,” he said. With the Loxton and Districts HAC stating many members of the community were unaware of the new changes due to poor advertising, Minister Hill said that is not the case. “We have been talking to communities about changes to the PATS scheme for about a year now and have done a lot of media on it,” he said. “There has been a lot of information put out and by and large, these changes are supported by health advisory councils because it makes it easier for people to get funding.” Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said the PATS changes must be reviewed immediately.
“To think that the PAT scheme has been reduced or the support has been wound back, I think it is outrageous and that is something that I will take up with the Minister once he clarifies knowing a little bit more about it,” he said. “We look at the calculation of distance travelled between the Riverland down to Adelaide, that’s questionable, because the roads they are using are obviously done on computer imagery or satellite imagery and if there are unsealed roads, that is totally unacceptable. “(Patients need to be) given the opportunity to travel on the federal highway either down the Stott Highway or the Sturt Highway to Adelaide, so that they can actually deal with their medical conditions and be treated equally to the people of Adelaide.”

Hospital upgrade on track for 2013 completion
■ SET IN CONCRETE: The first slab of the $41 Riverland Regional Hospital upgrade was poured on Tuesday with State Health Minister John Hill present. STATE Health Minister John Hill visited the Riverland on Tuesday as the $41 million Berri Hospital Redevelopment reached a new milestone with the major concrete pour for the emergency department. Over the coming months, concrete slabs will be completed for the emergency department, theatres, renal dialysis unit and mental health unit, with the walls to go up early next year. Minister Hill said the facility is on track to be completed by the scheduled end of 2013. “This is really definite signs that this hospital development is preceding at pace,” he said. “It will be completed, we hope, by the end of 2013 and we will have a completely transformed hospital.” The hospital upgrade will see the emergency department double in size, there will be two fully equipped theatres, six mental health beds, four oncology chairs and an on-site pharmacy. Minister Hill expects the redevelopment to attract an in-
flux of doctors from outside the region, with the hospital, from 2013, able to offer a range of services not previously available in the region. “I think having a big, general hospital here will make it easier for us to attract staff, senior staff to this community and that of course is the key to delivering a broader range of services,” he said. “We will get more clinicians wanting to work here because they can see an interesting hospital that does interesting work and it’s got a viable and strong future.” Riverland Health Services director Tom Nielson said the upgrade will provide the Riverland with the care it needs. “I think the new hospital in itself will be a magnet for attracting and retaining staff,” he said. “It’s sending a very clear message that we are a facility that is seeking to provide care to the community of the Riverland and that is something we are all very, very pleased to be part of.”

Storm cuts Santa’s visit short By CALLUM TRIFONOFF ONE of Waikerie’s most successful tourism attractions will not go ahead this year following severe damage to its home, the Waikerie Institute. Last week’s storm removed the roof of the institute where volunteers had worked tirelessly to set-up the traditional Santa’s Cave, which attracts up to thousands of people over a month long period. The building has been sealed off from access for
safety reasons and Santa’s Cave committee members are unsure how much of their props and hard work have been damaged. For the past 16 years, Santa’s Cave has been at the institute from Waikerie Christmas Pageant night until the end of the festive season. Despite the setback, committee president Glenda Neville said Santa will still make an appearance at the local Christmas pageant next week. “We won’t have the influx of the institute because there
was around 900 people who’d go through there (on pageant night) but with a bit of luck we’ll get at least half of those at the new venue,” Ms Neville said. The community rallied behind the Santa’s Cave committee when news had spread of the damage to the institute. “You’ve just got to go with it,” Ms Neville said. “It’s not thrilling...but we knew there was work to be done. “We had to put our thinking caps on.”

Facebook, friend of foe? FAMILY Life Centre in Barmera will host World Harvest Christian Centre Senior Minister Mark Baker this Sunday to speak about Facebook and its impact on communication. What started as a medium to create an environment for friends to connect has in turn created a range of problems for authorities within education and child health services. Statistics are showing that children as young as 11 and 12 years of age are suffering from anxiety and depression as a result of Facebook. This Sunday night Ps Mark Baker will be talking on the topic titled,
Facebook, is it my friend or foe? Mark Baker is the Senior Minister of World Harvest Christian Centre, Adelaide, where he and his wife Michelle have been the senior ministers for over nine years. Mark has a passion for the local church and provides a source of prophetic inspiration and leadership to other churches in his role as AOG SA vice president. He is renowned for his passion to see people rise up and become everything that God has called them to be. Mark’s other passion and desire is to see lead-
ers grow in God. He has ministered throughout Australia, South East Asia, Africa, South America and Eastern Europe. This Sunday, at 5pm, at Family Life Centre in Barmera, Mark will speak about Facebook and the impact new communication technologies of texting and emails are having on relationships with each other, how we can be aware of these effects and how we can create better relationships in communication methods. Please see the below advertisement, Facebook, friend or fantasy for further details.
By BRAD PERRY MOST people who saw Paul Langbein standing on his paddleboard as he cruised through the Riverland along the River Murray last week looked on in amazement. Many rivergoers wakeboard, ski, kayak or canoe but Paul is determined to be the first person to stand up paddleboard the entire length of the River Murray. However, one adrenaline pumping moment last Wednesday saw the adventurer unexpectedly removed from his board. What is being described as a mini-tornado hit the region and Paul recalls it was an experience he is likely never to forget, as he paddled his way through the major Riverland towns last week. “As I went into Lock 4 it was really windy and there was a headwind and I thought this is going to be ugly for the next few
kilometres,” he said. “By the time I got through the lock it was dead calm and the lock master yelled out ‘it’s the calm before the storm’, just joking. “I paddled around the corner and there was all this thunder and lightning but it was going the wrong way and the next minute it just turned on me. “I gathered something was building and it turned, so I put my lifejacket on. “I didn’t even have time to react, the gust of wind that came around that corner, normally you can see it on the surface, but I didn’t even see it. “For the first time I got knocked clearly off my board by wind and then my board went shooting off with the wind upstream and I was just swimming after it flat out. “That wind must have been 120 kilometres per hour when it hit me.” Paul made his way into Renmark last Tuesday
then continued on to Berri, Loxton and Waikerie on the weekend. The Adelaide man, who has a family history in the Riverland, quit his job in Perth and decided to take on the paddle challenge, which began near Thredbo in September. While Paul achieves individual goals throughout the journey, he is also raising money for Kids with Cancer Foundation. “This is one of the best adventures of my life,” Paul said. “I’m too determined and stubborn to give up. “What keeps you going is just meeting people.” During Paul’s visit to the region, he was also given some words of wisdom by a local character. “The Chook Man was quite inspirational,” he said. “He said ‘don’t listen to anyone, you and me are different, follow your dreams and goals and people will be inspired by you’”.

Follows the lyrics of life FOR Berri’s Tom Leverenz life has always been about his music. The hip-hop artist and teacher at Glossop High School will relocate to Adelaide later in the year to pursue his dreams with band Full Tote Odds. While Tom, who goes by the alias Levelheaded, admits a tear may be shed as he leaves the region, the 30-year-old embarks on a new journey which may elevate him to national recognition for his musical talents. Full Tote Odds will release its first single from forthcoming album Place Your Bets titled Southern Wind next Friday with a much anticipated film clip shot by director Richard Coburn, whose background involves
REPORT BY
BRAD PERRY Hollywood film productions and working with the Hilltop Hoods. The Riverland accepted Tom with arms open wide many years ago and he has vowed to always remember his time in the region and how it has shaped his life. “I’ve been here seven years now and I’ve loved it but the time came when music was drawing us (with fiancee Megan Elson) back,� he said. “It was going to be another year of me driving back to Adelaide to rehearse every week-
end. “I’ve been really thankful for the way everyone has accepted me (in the Riverland).� After finishing university, Tom moved to the Riverland and took up employment as a teacher with Glossop High School. “I’ve had a lot of good times running snow trips and coaching open footy teams and I’ve met a lot of good staff and students over the years and they’ve become like family,� he said. Tom said there is much excitement around the release of his band’s new album in April, two years in the making and he is preparing for what is likely to be a busy 12 months.
“We are just pumped with the track and how it sounds,� he said. “The extent of the touring schedule depends on the success of the first single and of the album as a whole.� Southern Wind will be available on iTunes and the film clip will feature on YouTube and once the album is released, Tom promises to bring a show to the Riverland. “It’s been just over two years since the last album (through solo project Levelheaded) and everyone was very supportive then and I hope so with this one too,� Tom said. “That’s why I want to come up here and do a gig when it all comes out.�
Printer strikes gold
■NEW HOME: An icecream container is now home for a murray magpie family in Berri, following the recent storm. ■BIG WIN: Berri printer Bill Vlemmix with his gold medal from the recent Printing Industries Craftsmanship Awards. Photo: CALLUM TRIFONOFF By CALLUM TRIFONOFF BERRI printer Bill Vlemmix has been lucky enough to receive many accolades during his extensive career but winning a gold Printing Industries Craftsmanship Award earlier this month is his most treasured. The award is recognition of Mr Vlemmix’s work on the Images of the Riverland 2012 calendar. In the past two years, Mr Vlemmix has won consecutive PICA awards, with a bronze in 2009 and silver last year, but this year he claimed the ultimate prize. He said winning the gold printing award was an outstanding feeling. “The gold was always my
target after winning silver and bronze,� Mr Vlemmix said. “It’s the best thing I’ve done in my life.� Mr Vlemmix said much hard work and determination went into the calendar, which is a fundraiser for St Catherine’s Home in Berri. He praised Berri Lions Club’s Terry Kearney and local photographer Italo Vardaro for their help on the project. After many years working in the printing industry, Mr Vlemmix still has an undeniable passion. “I love my printing, I’ve been doing it for so long,� he said. “I’m already looking forward to next year and hopefully I can win the gold medal again.�
Makeshift home for rescued magpies By CALLUM TRIFONOFF WHEN Berri residents Marc and Denise van Oostveen inspected possible damage to their home following Wednesday’s thunderstorm, they stumbled across some unfortunate victims. A murray magpie and its family, who had made the van Oostveen’s backyard tree their home, lost their nest during the storm, leaving the young magpie babies vulnerable. Mrs van Oostveen discovered four small birds, who were unable to fly to their mother, without a home. Becoming quite distressed when she realised the mag-
pie’s nest had been destroyed, Mrs Oostveen went searching for a solution to replace the bird’s nest. “I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t want to lose them,� she said. “I was told to put them in an ice cream container.� Without knowing whether the container would work as a makeshift nest, it was placed into the tree. To Mrs van Oostveen’s amazement, the bird’s treated the container like its former nest. Now safely back with their mother, Denise still keeps a close eye on the young murray magpies to make sure all is well.

Christmas spirit in Berri T
HE Christmas spirit will be on display at tomorrow night’s much anticipated Berri Merri Christmas. With much on offer for the whole family, including carols and several stalls and rides, the event is set to draw a large crowd to Vaughan Terrace. Berri District Business Association president Barry Phillips said a feature of the night will be the arrival of Santa Claus. ““There’s no show without Santa,” Mr Phillips laughed. “Santa always plays an integral part in any Christmas show and this will be no different.”
A new attraction of face painting is expected to be embraced by the children and Kooka the Clown will entertain the youngsters. “Hopefully every child will be excited by that new addition,” Mr Phillips said. “We’ve got the general bric-abrac type stalls as well. “Hopefully people can come out and enjoy the three hours of Christmas spirit and sing some Christmas carols at the beginning.” Mr Phillips is expecting a large number of tourists to attend the annual event. “We make it well known that Berri Merri Christmas is on,” he said.
“We would estimate in past years that 10 per cent of the crowd are from outside of the Riverland.” An important part of the event every year is the late night shopping. Mr Phillips is hoping that Berri Merri Christmas will be a timely reminder that the festive season is upon us. “It’ll be a really feel good night,” he said. “We’re hoping people will go away after the fireworks and realise ‘wow, Christmas is here’ even though it’s only November.” From 6pm the entertainment begins with the Riverland Cho-
ral Group singing and Caroline Eichenberger and Georgette Berry to follow. Rose Clark School of Dance will perform at 7.35pm. There will be sideshows, a free jumping castle and a merry-go-round, while Santa will make his way down the main street at around 7pm. The biggest event of the Berri Christmas celebrations is the fireworks display at the Berri Bridge at 9pm. ■ CHRISTMAS: Santa Claus is a favourite attraction at Berri Merri Christmas.

VERY year, one attraction is symbolic with the running of Berri Merri Christmas and that is the fireworks display. Always an exciting and entertaining end to the night, this year’s fireworks are expected to be just as good this year, if
not better. “I’m sure it’ll be a well orchestrated fireworks display,� Berri District Business Association president Barry Phillips said. “It’ll be similar to last year and it should excite the crowd.�
Mr Phillips said without the fireworks, the event would just not be the same. “We’re thankful it remains an integral part of the event,� he said. “The fireworks will certainly be a major drawcard.�

Sharks are a pet with a difference ROSEDALE WHEN it comes to pets, sharks are considered an unusual choice. However, a pet shark offers something different for your fish tank. If you are planning on owning a pet shark, it is best you only have one per tank as having multiple sharks in a tank may lead to fighting. Sharks will generally get along well with other fish in tanks. When purchasing a shark, it is recommended
you buy one while it is still young and it can get used to its new environment. No matter the size of the shark, tanks to house a pet shark should always be large with approximately 190 litres of water. Be sure you fill the tank with the right water to suit the shark’s needs as some require fresh water, while other sharks need salt water. General maintenance
of the tank is required and the water temperature should be between 23 and 26 degrees on a consistent basis. The base of the shark’s aquarium should be covered with a thin layer of gravel, while caves and hiding places should be made available. When it comes to feeding, a varied diet is best from fish flakes to seafood such as shrimp and crab.
Differnt types of home aquarium sharks include: •
Redtail Shark (Pet from home)
•
Rainbow Shark (below)
•
Iridecent Shark
•
Bala Shark

Insuring a secure future for life’s ups and downs By AMP Financial Planner Veronica Rutherford* FOR most people, the journey of life comes with its fair share of ups and downs. Unfortunately, things happen in our lives that are out of our control. It’s not a nice thought but what if you or your partner passed away or suffered a serious illness or injury and was unable to work? Suddenly your world can turn upside down and your financial security can be placed in jeopardy if you do not have the ability to repay debts and look after your family. While many Australians don’t think twice about insuring their car, home and contents, their most valuable asset is often overlooked. That’s right - you. Consider this: A 40-yearold earning $40,000 per year (increasing by five per cent per year) will earn $1,909,000 in total by the time they reach 65. This makes your ability to earn an income and provide for yourself and your family a valuable asset worth protecting. There are a few different types of insurance worth considering in order to protect you and your family.
Income Protection Protecting your income means protecting your lifestyle. Income Protection usually pays a monthly benefit of up to 75 per cent of your regular income if you’re too sick or injured to work.
This type of insurance – which is even more important for self-employed people – is designed to help you continue paying the mortgage, children’s school fees, phone and utility bills, run your car, buy food and clothes and basically cover your day-to-day living expenses.
Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) TPD cover provides a lump sum payment if you’re totally and permanently disabled. This cover can help you pay for medical expenses, repay major debts and help provide for your future.
Trauma Cover Trauma cover provides a lump sum payment if you’re diagnosed with a specified trauma condition. The types of conditions that trauma insurance will cover you for include heart attack, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, major organ transplant, severe burns, cancers, dementia, stroke or paralysis. Trauma cover is designed to help cover your increased medical costs and living expenses, providing you some financial security during the important recovery process, even after you have returned to work.
Death Cover
meets your current needs and that you are not paying too much. Death, TPD and Income Protection cover can often be built into your superannuation which can be a simple and effective option, especially if cash flow is an issue.
Death cover offers you the security that, should the unthinkable happen, at least your family won’t have to worry about money. Death cover works by making a lump sum payment to your family if you die. Some death cover will also offer an option of receiving the funds if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Cars in the news
Bumper crowd flocks to Auto Expo By CALLUM TRIFONOFF TWO of Australia’s most talked about show cars helped the Riverland Auto Expo eclipse last year’s attendance rates. The striking XF Falcon Psycho and 32 Ford Tudor Burnt 1 helped draw around 2000 people to the event with an outstanding 118 vehicles participating. The drivers of the show cars received a warm response from patrons at the Berri event, according to organiser Cheryle Taylor. “The two drawcards that we had, they couldn’t believe the response they had,� Mrs Taylor said. “They were there answering questions about their cars (all day).� Last weekend’s event was a crowd puller with many locals and interstate visitors taking advantage of the calibre of cars and various attractions on display. “The dyno machine was popular with a lot of people using it,� Mrs Taylor said. “Then there was the doorslammer, that was like a magnet, everyone went over and watched that.� Many of the people in attendance are already scheduling the Auto Expo on next year’s calendar. “People who won trophies said they’re coming back next year, they’re not going to forget this one,� Mrs Taylor said.

â&#x2013; RECOGNISED: Renmark Club manager Brenton Franks, office attendant Jodie Parry, bar manager Vince Catalano and functions manager Lyn Wilksch with the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest awards. Photo: CALLUM TRIFONOFF By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Renmark Club pulled off two major coups at the 2011 Clubs SA Awards of Excellence on the weekend, defeating many fancied city nominees. For the third consecutive year, the club has taken out the Regional Club of the Year, as well as winning Best Club Operations for the second time, an award in which it
tied for first place last year. Renmark Club manager Brenton Franks said the win is just rewards for the efforts put in by staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To win Regional Club of the Year for the third year running is a great achievement for the Renmark Club and for Renmark itself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were up against all the big guns from Adelaide in the club
operations, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really special to win that again.â&#x20AC;? Mr Franks said the awards will be added to the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever expanding honour board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make sure we splash it around,â&#x20AC;? he said. The stunning view and general attitude and friendliness by staff to patrons are reasons behind the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued success, according to Mr Franks.

Water exhibition on display
THE Renmark North Primary School Continental is expected to attract a large crowd when it is held tomorrow night. Beginning at 6pm, the continental offers something for the whole family with many of the school children involved in making the event so successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some kids have been making invitations to send out to relatives or neighbours,â&#x20AC;? principal John Trobbiani said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some kids have been helping prepare particular items for stalls.
RENMARKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S McCormick Centre is holding a travelling exhibition this month focusing on water. The Questacon travelling exhibition titled Our Water is on display at the centre until November 25. The Our Water exhibition comprises 28 hands-on interactive exhibits designed to engage visitors of all ages to be challenged and make decisions about water and examine the consequences of the different uses and re-uses of water in Australia from an urban, agricultural, industrial and environmental perspective. On top of normal opening hours, the centre will be open this weekend from 10am to 4pm, so the public can view the exhibition.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of kids have been practicing dances that they are going to put on.â&#x20AC;? Among the many highlights of the event will be the authentic food from various cultures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like to try Indian food, Italian, Greek,â&#x20AC;? Mr Trobbiani said. There will also be plenty of entertainment on hand. The Continental will see the launch of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major raffle which will be drawn at its final assembly in December.

SCOREBOARD
Plays and Misses with Graham Charlton and Brad Perry Cricket to miss Roebuck
Mid Murray future bleak?
■ IN MY opinion the death of Peter Roebuck in South Africa sees the loss of one of cricket’s best journalists and commentators. The aspect of English cricket that I have always enjoyed most has been their commentators, with the varying and unique styles of people like Arlott, Johnston, Lloyd, Blofeld, Bailey, Agnew, Martin-Jenkins, Swanton and Trueman. Roebuck certainly added to the radio and television coverage in this country, where he had actually opted to become an Aussie and lived for much of his life. Why he left England I am not certain but I have read about how he had a long term feud going on with blokes like Botham, Garner and Richards from his early captaincy days at County side Somerset. This seemed due to his renowned forthright attitude, so if he was going to have a dispute with any one he could not have chosen any bigger names.
■ CADELL forfeited for the second game in a row due to a shortage of players in Mid Murray Cricket on Saturday. Following an association meeting early last week, President ‘Fred’ Tyler reported that several clubs, including Cadell, were confident of increasing their playing ranks over the next fortnight or so. However, talking to a club stalwart at Cadell, I understand the club relies almost exclusively on “travelling” players to form a team and that task is becoming increasingly difficult. As discussed with Fred on Saturday, the presence of a bye in the competition does contribute to players perhaps falling out of the system.
Junior cricket thriving ■ I WENT along to the third game between Berri and Renmark on the Berri Turf Oval last Sunday morning in the new Primary Age cricket project. With the Milo In2 Cricket youngsters also involved on the edge of the ground, it filled one with the thought that with planning and care the sport can survive strongly. The kids were having a ball and there appeared to be plenty of volunteers making it all happen. As predicted, the Sunday morning time slot is also popular with family groups and there were plenty of spectators giving the young girls and boys involved their support. Cricket is reportedly up and about at this level in all of our major centres and it will be interesting to see whether other teams in the primary division will join in a round robin competition at various stages.
Critchley’s marvellous knock ■ YOU are supposed to feel better after a good nights sleep aren’t you? Who, like me then, hit the cot after the first day’s play of the Test Match in South Africa last week comfortable that Australia, on the back of Shane Watson’s superb bowling, was well on the way to a crushing victory, only to surface the next morning to find it was the Springboks that were doing the crushing? Cricket the say is a funny game and I went looking for some examples in our own backyard. Early December 1994 and Renmark had Berri Colts 1 for 26 chasing their first innings total of 138 at the end of day one. On the second day, a burst by Renmark speedster David Burtenshaw, which produced 5 for 0 in two overs, sent the Colts into a tailspin and they fell to 9 for 91. However, enter the perhaps qualified eleventh ranked batter Steve Critchley to join ‘the man that never trained much’, opener Roger Langdon, who carried his bat to make 109 not out. Critch’s 17 in a last wicket stand of 88 took the Colts to victory. Cricket sure is a funny game.

Tennis champion returns home By CALLUM TRIFONOFF HE MAY be a Wimbledon junior champion and he travels all over the world playing tennis but Luke Saville has not forgotten where his roots lie. The 17-year-old former Cobdogla tennis ace returned home to visit family on the weekend and ended up playing division one for his junior club. The Riverland courts are a far cry from Wimbeldon but Saville enjoyed the chance to represent Cobdogla again. Not surprisingly he won his singles match against Loxton veteran Phil Proud but teaming up with his brother Troy in the doubles competi-
■ Luke Saville tion is something he may not get to do again with his busy interstate and international schedule. “The atmosphere was obviously a little bit more relaxed (than Wimbledon),” Saville laughed. “I really enjoyed it, playing back at Cobby where I once was...just having a bit of a hit. “My brother’s girlfriend,
my sister and my dad were all playing at Loxton and I thought ‘why not?’” Saville won his singles hit out against Proud 9-3, while in the doubles, the two Saville siblings were victorious in straight sets. “Troy was pretty handy,” Saville laughed. “To be part of it and to play with my brother was pretty special...I haven’t played with him for years.” Saville travelled to the region in between National Tennis League matches where he earned a wildcard into the tournament. “I played there last year in the qualifying and lost first round,” he said. “I’m hoping to go further (this year).”
Soccer merger on the cards ■ From Page 32 While RSA president Bill Bucon admits the chances of a combined competition by next year are slim, he confirmed interest from the Victorian league exists, with support from local club Renmark Olympic. However, the remaining three members of the RSA indicated at the association’s annual general meeting last week, they would prefer to just see the pre-season tournament continue.
“We’ll be speaking with (a Sunraysia) co-ordinator in the next meeting in December,” Mr Bucon said. “There’s a lot of red tape issues that we need to sort out but most importantly, we need to see whether the clubs are interested or not. “If two clubs said yes and two said no, then (an RSA) executive would decide.” Even if the local soccer competition merges with the interstate league, Mr Bucon said the RSA will remain
a member of Football Federation South Australia. While Mr Bucon admits the possibility of Riverland teams playing against clubs from FFV Sunraysia could improve the standard of the game, not everyone may be content with the merger. “The negative side to it is the travelling and the cost as well,” he said. “We would have to see whether players would be committed to travel to Mildura once every three weeks to play.”

RIVERLAND baseball is seeing one of its most competitive seasons to date, with all four A grade teams on an even keel. President Phil Goldspink is anticipating a strong season in which reigning premier Berri Warriors will be looking to equal Renmark Angels' record six successive premierships. Mr Goldspink expects the Warriors to be a force again this year with close competition from traditional rival
Barmera Lakers. “Berri's going for their sixth straight premiership so there's a whole lot of teams who want to stop them winning again, especially Renmark,” he said. “Come finals, anyone who plays them will have a real headache.” “There's a lot of good, competitive baseball between (Barmera and Berri). “They've played twice and Barmera's won one and Berri's won the other.” Loxton broke a drought this season with its first A
grade win in two years and with a full team, is capable of taking it up to the competition's best. “Renmark's starting to go from strength to strength and there's some really good prospects for Loxton,” Goldspink said. “It's a good opportunity for them to excel.” After the inclusion of a Sunraysia team in the Riverland competition's under 15 league and with strong results in the B grade, Mr Goldspink expects a good future for the sport in the region.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON
The T Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...
New role ■ WELL known Waikerie identity Richard Law is one of 13 new community development officers appointed by Bowls Australia. Those occupying these regionally based positions will report to the Performance manager of Bowls Australia, the governing body of the sport across the nation, as well as to the appropriate state association. The new officers will be responsible for: ■ Working towards increasing membership of clubs within their regions. ■ Providing support for clubs with business planning, member retention, recruitment, funding and other issues. ■ Improving the numbers and standard of coaches and officials. ■ Recording local membership and participation levels. In South Australia Richard is one of two appointments to cover 168 clubs in country areas with Bowls SA to be responsible for the 53 metropolitan clubs. Talking to Richard recently he stated that Bowls Australia had set a target of increasing the membership of bowling clubs by 40,000 people, or 15 per cent, across the nation by the end of 2012. “While that seems a lot,” Law said. “That is really only about five people extra at each club, so that should be well within reach.” At this stage, it appears that the area Richard will cover will include the Riverland, Mid Murray, Barossa, Hills and South East, while there is also a chance that Broken Hill may be involved. He says that he will be expected to contact all clubs, not just the various association executives. A motor vehicle and

all of the equipment necessary for the position will be provided with the community development officer project being funded for at least the next five years by the Australian government. Talking to Richard by telephone, it was not difficult to gauge his enthusiasm for his new job. But then that should not be surprising as in everything I have been aware of this man tackling, there has been no half measures, whether it has been on or off the sporting field. Never one to be afraid of a challenge, Richard ‘Scotty’ Law obviously follows in the steps of another contributing allrounder, his dad Ian ‘Scotty’ Law, so you can be sure he will be full on in this new role. He will be counting on the co-operation of all clubs and officials right across his region in working together for the betterment of this huge sport. Prior to this Bowls Australia appointment, Richard spent 23 years working with the Waikerie then Loxton-Waikerie Council as a rate administrator, twelve months as development manager with the Teletrack project envisaged for Waikerie and, since February 2002, working at the Waikerie Recreation
Centre. Both on and off of the turf at the Waikerie Football Club, his outstanding efforts have been well documented. Starting with the Magpie Under 13s in 1971, he worked his way through junior and senior colts and although small in stature, his tremendous determination saw him go on to play 300 senior matches, including 160 at A Grade level. As captain of the Seconds team, he won two Riverland Best and Fairest medals. Richard has also given exceptional service to the Magpies at committee level including being a driving force behind the construction of new clubrooms as chairman of the building committee. Today he still coaches the club’s under 11 squad. At basketball he played for over twenty years, has umpired for 37 and he is presently assistant secretary of the Waikerie Bowling Club, where he turns out for the first division team. No wonder Richard ‘Scotty’ Law was recently presented with a Waikerie Service to Sport Award. Now this likeable, determined character is in his glory, he has a new, exciting challenge.
■ WITH a few stop stops and starts in between, I will shortly complete my 20th year working on the Radio 5RM Saturday morning sports program. The main focus of the show has been talking to local guests about sport week in and week out but when we have, in any way varied that policy, there are also some fabulous memories, particularly when the interviews involved people with a Riverland connection. Fluking contact with Grant Schubert while he was still on the hockey field after Australia had won an Olympic Gold Medal, getting hold of Grant, Sophie Edington and Hayden Stoeckel back-to-back before they departed for the Olympics and two segments I found nerve wracking, talking to Richie Benaud and to motor vehicle ace Allan Moffatt I certainly remember. But there is another that is right up there, the excitement of a Riverland netball team winning the title at the World Masters Games in Brisbane some 17 years ago. Loxton's Peter Noble was involved in the sports show at that time and being on holidays with his wife Carly in Queensland, he kept our
Riverland listeners up to date on how our team was going in the top level netball competition (over 40s) at the games that had across all sports attracted 10,000 competitors. The Nobles in fact almost became team mascots and shared the joy of a remarkable win. Believe me this competition was no 'Mickey Mouse' affair and under ace coach Marg Lambert, accompanied by stalwarts in assistant coach Ade Correll, manager Wendy Gambling, scorer Joy Wilkins and umpire Irene Hunyardi, the quest for gold was taken extremely seriously. The group played as Masters in the local A1 competition leading up to Brisbane, trained three times a week and called on the services of Renmark fitness guru Alan Coulter. Teams in the World Games Netball came from Canada, New Zealand and the Australian States and the Riverland on court effort was in the hands of Brenda Dempsey, Trish Dempsey, Sue Fisher, Jill Fogden, Sue Fox, Marg Howie, Lindy Mudge, Anne Noack, Lynn Smith, Sally Thiele and Pat Watts with an average age of nearly 44 years young. Playing ten matches in
Mike loves beating the Vics ■ MIKE Horsman has a lot of good friends in the Sunraysia region, mainly through his involvement with both junior and senior tennis over many years. But despite those friendships, he makes no secret that he does not mind as many wins as he can be involved in against the Vics, as such an achievement can be rare. His playing then in the annual Tennis Teams Tri State event involving SA, Victoria and NSW since 1990 has therefore given him some real opportunities to celebrate. There are three trophies involved. The Pat and Max Phillips

Trophy is contested between SA and Victoria and was first played in 1986. In the twenty six years our state has won it 12 times, including 11 since 1990 and the last four up until this year, in a row. The Bob McCarthy Shield involves SA and NSW with our state winning the first one in 1990 and on seven occasions since, including in the past three years. Victoria and NSW compete for the Brian Birmingham Shield. The Tri State Teams event follows the Mildura Individual ITF Tournament and is run over two days, always the first

eight days, Lambert reflected after the win, that while her team was one of the shortest in the competition it was their fitness and speed that proved to be crucial in the end result. Over the tournament, the Riverland was undefeated with their closest result being during the preliminary matches 27-22 against WA Eagles, while they also brushed aside NSW, a team of six footers who had confident thoughts of taking home gold medals. It was the morning after the grand final victory, 35-14 over New Zealand's Paddy Barry's, that contact with the party via Peter Noble could only be described as radio bedlam. Riverland Masters were also judged the best presented team with votes given by media people at the opening and closing ceremonies. I would reckon that most of that decision related to the team's appearance at the opening of the games as at the end, something, probably the tough 'playing' schedule, appeared to have taken its toll. Nevertheless our golden oldies did themselves and the Riverland proud.

SPORT
Speedway season starts â&#x2013; RIVERLAND Speedway chief Greg Haynes is urging everyone to keep Saturday, December 3 free whether you are a motorsport follower or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Riverland season will get underway with the fourth round of the much anticipated Ikon Suspension Sidecar Grand Slam,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event will be the biggest bike show the Riverland has seen in more than 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;?. Haynes is anticipating the appearance of five times National champion, legend Darrin Treloar, dual World champions Mick Headland and Paul Waters, Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Byren Gates, South Australians Mark Plaisted and Jamie Banks, Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emerging super team of Brodie Cohen and Josh Sinnott, Glenn Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Aaron Maynard and Scott Christopher and Tyler Moon to appear at his club's upgraded Calperum Hill complex. Already the first three rounds at Pioneer Park Speedway in Ayr, Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speedway in Mackay and at Toowoombaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charlton track have been completed with Treloar gradually showing his class after
engine woes relegated him to fifth place in the B final on the opening night. He was the top points scorer in Mackay but was beaten in the final by a sensational performance from 2005 Australian champion Christopher and rookie passenger Moon before he combined with stand-in passenger Jesse Headland to win in Toowoomba, recording six first place finishes in as many starts. Others to make strong starts in the $70,000 10 round competition include reigning Australian champions Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Maynard with a slashing win in Ayr, Headland and Waters, Russell Mitchell and Tina Karan, Gates and Ben Pitt, and Andrew Buchanan and Brent Lovell. There is a break in the Grand Slam program now, while the top riders turn out in this Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Championships in Murray Bridge. Meanwhile, a lot of work has gone into the Riverland complex in readiness for December 3, including the installation of new track lights. The 2011-12 season will include five meetings.
After the sidecar spectacular, the next program on Saturday, January 7, will include round two of the MJS Street Stock series and the popular Demo Derby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a while since we held a demo derby,â&#x20AC;? Haynes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to see between 15 and 20 cars nominate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prize money is $1000 for the winner, $500 runner-up, $250 for third, right down to $100 for the best destroyer, best presented and hard luck award.â&#x20AC;? Anyone interested in nominating should contact Greg on 0412 043 733 or 8586 5576. Riverland Speedway officials are to be commended on their efforts in continuing to bring top entertainment to their complex, including the round of the Inaugural Sidecar Grand Slam in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you are not a speedway enthusiast, come along anyway, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed,â&#x20AC;? Haynes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The club needs everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for this meeting, so please come along and support your club to support the region.â&#x20AC;?
Our local state country heroes â&#x2013; A VERY satisfied Riverland Basketball President Les Lange telephoned me from Adelaide last Saturday night following the try-outs that had been held for junior state country teams during the day at stadiums at Morphett Vale and Marion. Around half of the local youngsters who attended the event gained selection across the age groups. Named as a reserve at under 14 girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level was
Ashlyn Menz, of Renmark. If Les did have a disappointment, he was surprised that promising young Loxton player Jesse Will was overlooked for that age groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys squad. In the under 16 girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are Berri pair Stephanie Sarro and Indee Thiele and in the boys, Ben Clarke (Berri), Kaiden Coats (Barmera) and Angus Size and Charlie Rogers (Loxton). Mikayla Graetz (Loxton)
was selected in the girls under 17 group. Che Lange, also from Loxton, is a reserve for the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; squad, while three Berri girls were named at under 18 level, Ellee Eleftheriadis, Stacey Pront and Veronica Migga. The under 16 and 18 state teams will be in Albury and under 15 and 17 in Port Macquarie, for their championships early next year.

Sailors use wind at Bonney â&#x2013; LAKE Bonney at Barmera provided contrasting conditions for the two day SA Mosquito Class Catamaran State titles held there recently. This was the first leg of the competition and good winds on the Saturday contributed to extremely close racing but when those conditions deteriorated during Sunday, the scheduled race five on
the program was eventually abandoned. Local sailors Steve Thomas and Peter Dunk, with crew Kirsten Thomas, performed strongly over the two days. In Mark 1, results went to Steve Thomas with Just Do It and Adelaide's Phil Pearce aboard Alebaran shared the four races contested, both finishing on two wins and two seconds.
It was the same situation in Mark 2 with Dunk on Natural Progression and Adelaide's Warwick Kemp (Atreus) both finishing with two wins and two losses. The final leg of the titles will be another five race series at Milang early in 2012. The National championships for Mosquitoes is set for Rivoli Bay in the South East from January 2.
Old friends win bowls showdown â&#x2013; TWO former team-mates at the Renmark RSL Bowling Club, Mavis Elsworthy and Dixie Lee, combined last Sunday to win the annual Bill Marschall Riverland Mixed Pairs tournament held at their new club, Waikerie. The pair were the only three game winners with victories over Stan Burnett (Waikerie) and his daughter Jane Price (Berri), Bill Haby (Waikerie) and Helen Grimsley (Lyrup), who finished
runners up and Loxton's Peter and Lyn Kimber. Meanwhile, with seven rounds completed the Men's Pennant ladder is more than just a bit interesting. At their best, Berri, Waikerie and Renmark have shown they are definitely â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;finals materialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but after an upset win over Berri last Saturday, should Renmark RSL also be taken as serious contenders? RSL are currently ten
points clear of finals accustomed Loxton, so the next few rounds could be crucial. This Saturday, Renmark RSL are at Barmera against the bottom side, while Loxton, with key personnel apparently returning, are at home to Renmark. The following week, RSL will host Loxton and then it is Loxton at home to Berri and Renmark RSL making the short trip to neighbours Renmark. A tipster's nightmare.

Waikerie cleans up golf course â&#x2013; THE Waikerie Golf Club could certainly do with a hand this Sunday at a working bee to help to clean up and remove debris after the severe storm last week removed and damaged something like 70 per cent of the trees on the course.
Volunteers and staff have been busy clearing greens, fairways and surrounds, so that course maintenance and golf can resume but anyone who can get along from 9am this Sunday to assist would be most welcome.
Rakes, chainsaws, trailers, and tractors would also be welcome. Club Superintendant Craig Davis is coordinating the working bee, so if anyone is able to help give him a hand, call on 0488 419 072.

Barmera PSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; solar adventure â&#x2013; BARMERA Primary was the only country school that took part in the South Australian Solar Boat Challenge last month, entering four boats amongst the total of 100 that participated overall. The students involved were Zoe Bellchambers, Jackson Gum, Kady Schwertfeger, Brady Bannister, Georgia Owen, Anthony Bucon, Aleysha Young, Ashlee Schwertfeger and Jewel Aworth from years six and seven. The children gave up lunchtime play periods over a six week timeframe to build the boats, three of which were
constructed using recycled material, while the other was made for speed. During the whole exercise the youngsters certainly gained a lot of new skills as well as understanding the benefits of working as a team and during the actual competition, problem solving. At one stage one of the boats had to be rescued when water stopped the motor. Kady, Georgia and Jewel removed the solar panel, replaced the motor, balanced the boat and reassembled it without a race being missed. Then they went on to re-
cord one of the three third placings the school achieved during the challenge. The school received an award for the best boat made from recycled materials. Going into the challenge the BPS team set goals for the 24 events it faced â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to come last in a race, no rescues and to have fun. Well they did finish at the rear a couple of times and had to be rescued on that one occasion but that was still a fabulous result. As far as fun was concerned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I am told there was no problem there either.
