transport squeeze
By BRAD PERRY
SUPPORT is growing towards a concept for the Patient Assistance Transport Scheme (PATS) to provide a subsidy local residents having to travel to the Riverland Regional Hospital. Shadow Health and Ageing Minister Martin Hamilton-Smith has called on the State Government
to consider changing the rules of the PATS scheme in the region, due to a lack of public transport. With a number of key health services to be delivered from the Riverland Regional Hospital in Berri once construction is finished next year, there is concern the strain on an already stretched public transport system will be too great. “If you are going to centralise
the health system in the Riverland, you need to look at the transport system,” Minister Hamilton-Smith said. “My message to the Minister (Hill) is don't expect people to find their way to the Riverland hospital in Berri if they don't have a car or if they are aged and frail or if they are a mum with kids at home or working on the farm.
“It's not Adelaide, it's the Riverland and the Riverland has a different geography to the city of Adelaide.” Renmark Paringa Health Advisory Council presiding member Karen Brown said there would be much merit in people receiving a small subsidy if they have to travel from a Riverland town to the Berri hospital for health reasons.
Riverland Taxi Service
“I think the PATS scheme shouldn't only cover people having to go from a Riverland town to Adelaide for treatment, I think it should also cover people who also have to travel from their peripheral town to the centralised services,” she said. n Continued Page 7

EDITORIAL BY
BRAD PERRY
A very long walk HEALTH has been the hot issue of the past fortnight. From allegations of understaffing at the Renmark Paringa Nursing Home to concerns over centralisation of health resources, there has been plenty to think about. Calls to increase public transport to the Riverland Regional Hospital are spot on. I have no doubt some of the smaller Riverland hospitals will have services centralised once the new facility is completed. The Riverland is selling itself as a great place for retirement but if the older generation do not have a licence, how do they get to Berri from other towns? There are community transport services and taxis but really the options are limited. Buses are not operating enough and the funding does not appear to be there to improve the bus service times. Will we get to a situation where residents will have to cancel appointments at the new hospital simply because they cannot get there? With the current economic situation, there are many people who also cannot afford to run a car or pay for the limited public transport in the region. The State Government is building this fantastic new regional health hub and it is much appreciated by the local community. However, without further public transport to get to appointments in Berri, it seems like, for those fit enough, it is a very long walk.

Foodbank on Minister’s agenda By BRAD PERRY MINISTER for communities and social inclusion Ian Hunter is in the Riverland today assessing progress on the establishment of a $600,000 Foodbank facility in Berri. The project has gained much local support and work is well underway with expected completion to be the end of March. Foodbank SA general manager Leigh Royans said the Sturt Highway facility will be a vital service for local welfare groups for decades to come.
There is wonderful local support for this new Foodbank facility.
“There is wonderful local support for this new Foodbank facility, which will provide critically needed low-cost foods for welfare and community groups across the Riverland and Upper
Mallee region,” he said. “This is a very important regional base, not only for the help it will provide to those agencies helping disadvantaged people, but also to capture some of the surplus fresh fruit and vegetables that are in the region, to help other South Australians who are in need. “Currently there is still a lot of people doing it tough and this new community initiative will be there to help them.” The staged development of the new centre includes changes to the interior of the building to free up more storage space and reduce office space, installation of a large purpose-designed commercial cool room, pallet racking and shelving and reworking existing infrastructure to store food supplies. Mr Royans said non-perishable and frozen foods will be transported from Foodbank SA's principal Adelaide warehouse to be distributed throughout the Riverland region, whilst fresh fruit and vegetables will be collected locally with surplus fruit and vegetables redirected to Adelaide. “Based on past experience in other regional areas of the state, we expect to see a significant take-

up of the food in the first year of operations,” Mr Royans said. “Up until now welfare groups have had to either travel to the Adelaide Foodbank warehouse, which is a seven to eight hour round trip at significant cost and time inconvenience, or procure foods wherever they can locally at a much higher price, which puts extra stress on their limited welfare budgets." Minister Hunter said he is looking forward to visiting the region, where he will not only meet with Foodbank officials but

Contact Joey THE cause of a fire that gutted businesses in Glossop on Monday is currently being investigated, with claims of a break-in at the premises. Glossop Steel Shop, outdoor furniture company Bob’s Barn and wood products business Upper Murray Case Supplies were all engulfed in a ferocious fire, with emergency services called out to the Old Sturt Highway factory at around 5.20am. At the scene, Country Fire Service incident operations officer Paul Stribley said emergency crews from across the region, including around 80 firefighters, responded to the fire call. “The fire inside the main shed was extremely intense,” he said. “A lot of the building has risk of structural collapse so there is some areas we can’t put crews into until we’ve had technical assessment of the building so it is actually safe to enter.” After arriving at the scene and
witnessing the devastation of the fire on Monday, Upper Murray Case Supplies production manager Phil Goldspink said the company will bounce back. “This being our busiest time of the year, we are doing a lot of (export) bins for various companies around the South East,” he said. “We are going to rebuild from this, we are going to come back.” Mr Goldspink said a portion of stock was spared, although recently upgraded macahinery and a newly purchased pallet machine were damaged in the fire. Surveying the scene on Tuesday following the incident, Glossop Steel Shop owner Joff Linger looked on in disbelief. He said he could not believe what he was hearing when he received a phone call about the fire on Monday morning. Mr Linger, who was planning on retiring, said the company will finish current jobs but will not rebuild its Glossop shop. “I’ve still got to retire, I can’t build it up again,” he said.
“We’ve got some insurance but we don’t know how much at this stage, that will depend on the assessors and the insurance company on how much they are going to cover. “The roof sheets are still falling in so it’s not safe to go near the place.” There was definitely a breakin at the Glossop Steel Shop before the fire started, according to Mr Linger. Regional Development Australia has offered support to
Glossop Steel Shop workers. The total combined damages bill is expected to reach up to $4 million.
A LOCAL mayor was shocked to find an Unley Council official who met with councils at the Riverland Local Government Forum late last year is facing criminal charges. Unley Council Mayor Lachlan Clyne attended a meeting with Riverland mayors and chief executive officers in November after a request to learn more about the operation of local councils.
Mr Clyne is facing charges of dishonestly dealing with documents and using another person's identity information to commit an offence and is currently on continuing bail until March, as reported in The Advertiser. Berri Barmera Mayor Peter Hunt said the news came as a surprise to him. “I would imagine the other mayors and CEOs would have seen that same interview and would have been quite surprised

as well,” he said. “It was just a visit, he wanted to come up and see how the Riverland was going and how we do things. “We found him to be a nice young fella and he was looking forward to maybe coming back in 12 months time for a revisit and at the same time we were going to invite him back during the Wine and Food Festival.” During the meeting councils spoke to Mr Clyne about the problems they face including

attracting funding. From the visit, there was also talk of potentially pairing up with Unley Council and resource sharing between the metropolitan and local councils. “Further down the track I would hope, if not each Riverland council, but I know the Berri Barmera Council would certainly like to have a look at having one of the metropolitan councils as a sister-town relationship, where we could perhaps use some of their staff,” Mr Hunt said.
Poison bait laying will be undertaken in these parks and crown lands area during the following months: February/March 2012 September 2012 Notices bearing the warning ´POISON LAID ON THIS PROPERTY´ will be displayed at gates and public access points along the boundaries of the parks and crown lands area.

Stoeckel a Demon again By BRAD PERRY IN a major boost to the Riverland's profile, Berri athlete Hayden Stoeckel is now registered as a Berri Swimming Club member once again. The Australian swimmer is now expected to compete at the Olympic trials in Adelaide in March officially affiliated with the Berri Swimming Club after transferring from his previuos interstate club. The move will be a major win for the profile of the region and swimming itself, according to Berri Swimming Club president Jenni Trewren.
“For any swimmer to be able to swim at any level, whether it is a club, state or a national level, you have to be affiliated with a swimming club,” she said. “He's actually transferred and registered as a member of the Berri Swimming Club at this point of time. “We hope and we assume that means when he swims at the nationals in Adelaide in March, he will actually be swimming representing the Berri Swimming Club. “We're all pretty chuffed about that, it's pretty exciting.” Stoeckel, who is currently
training in Melbourne under the same coach as Loxton born Sophie Edington, is a role model for young Riverland swimmers. “It might not change anything on a day to day basis but certainly if he goes to nationals and is representing the Berri Swimming Club, then that's a great model for Riverland kids,” Mrs Trewren said. “To have Hayden back linked to a country club, which is where his roots are and obviously the Berri pool is named in his honour, I think that really provides strong leadership and role modelling for not only
Berri swimmers, but hopefully all Riverland swimmers.” Many local swimmers are expected to travel to the Olympic trials in March to see Stoeckel perform. The transfer of affiliation means Mrs Trewren is also hopeful Stoeckel will return to Berri for a visit in the near future. n boost: Berri swimmer Hayden Stoeckel, pictured at a civic reception in Berri after his Olympic efforts in 2008, is again registered with his old club.

Alternative access needed for barge
ADVICE TO BOAT OPERATORS NAVIGATION RESTRICTIONS LOCK 8
AN alternative access point for the Argo Barge may have to be found with concerns being raised that moving the vessel will impact on the operations of the historic PS Industry. Currently both vessels sit next to each other on the Renmark riverfront but there is discussion that the Argo Barge may need to be moved forward for access from the existing wharf. Plans are for the Argo to be permanently moored at its current location. Friends of the PS Industry chairman David Nattrass said moving the Argo Barge forward could potentially create a problem. “The distance apart at the moment is okay,” he said. “The problem is, if they bring the Argo forward, it would present a

Mid Murray Council’s $2 million storm fix
South Australian Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board
By BRAD PERRY THE Mid Murray Council has welcomed almost $2 million from the Local Government Disaster Fund to repair roads damaged by storms in 2010. The funding was announced yesterday as part of $15.5 million drawn from the fund to assist councils across regional South Australia. With the Mid Murray Council area being hit by a number of storms and high river in recent years, acting chief executive officer Robin Bourne said a lot of its resources have been used

on repair work. “Some of the damage has been repaired,” he said. “The rest is made up of lots of other roads that have been washed away in places and some have been repaired and some haven’t.” Mr Bourne said council applied for funding last year to help with recovery from the stormwater damage caused to roads in December, 2010. “It is nothing to do with the recent rain or wind storm in Morgan,” he said. “We’ve had to delay, postpone some of our nor-

navigation hazard for us when we are docking, particularly when the wind is blowing off the river. “We've got to sit right up along the side to moor and if the wind was coming off the river, it could present a hazard that you might blow the Industry into it...and the Argo is probably a little bit fragile.” Mr Nattrass said Friends of the PS Industry is supportive of the Argo Barge being located next to the PS Industry. “The skippers say it is fine where it is but if you move it forward, it is not,” he said. “If they are going to get some access to it, we need to work out how we are going to do that without moving the Barge forward.”
MANY stonefruit growers will be happy to see the end of the season in the coming weeks with pest disease and low prices adding to another tough harvest. The season is expected to finish around 10 days early despite a number of issues it is still facing. Renmark North stonefruit grower Dino Cerrachi said prices and oversupply have added to the frustration of the season. “There has been problems with pest disease pressure, it has been quite high, so there has been losses in the top half of the trees,” he said. “This year there is losses and the losses aren’t enough to lessen the fruit volume, so therefore the prices are down, the economic climate is not good and the weather has not been good.” With temperatures reaching over 30 degrees for consecutive days on end, Mr Cerrachi said fruit is being picked off trees quicker, so it does not go soft.
mal work and do flood damage repairs. “A lot of our other jobs got held over and aren’t done and so the time, effort and labour has been spent on repairs rather than new work or repair work of a general nature.” Of the roads still needing repair, Mr Bourne said around $1 million needs to be spent to fix Cascade Road in Mannum. “We would rather have the money than not have the money for sure because we’ve got work that still hasn’t been done and that will give us the money to do it,” he said.
Riverland Redhatters celebrate sixth birthday THE Riverland Redhatters Dowunder are celebrating their sixth birthday today. The group, which is made up of ladies over 50, are holding a lunch at the Renmark Club at 11.30am. A current membership of 19 will be increased with the induction of two new members. Redhatting is open to ladies over 50 who are looking for a social group with a variety of skills and talents, who share, support and laugh together. The only requirement of redhatting is a purple top and red hat must be worn during gatherings. A group looking to form a Redhat society in Renmark will also attend the birthday lunch.
Minster for local government relations Russell Wortley said the government is also reviewing the disaster fund to ensure its ongoing viability. “This fund was established in 1990 to assist local councils faced with the cost of repairing or replacing uninsurable infrastructure damaged by extreme weather events,” he said. “The fund was expected to self-generate top ups through interest earned on the capital but a number of major drawdowns in the past year due to freak weather events has put a strain on its capital.”
Calls to suspend foreign orange juice imports CITRUS Growers of South Australia (CGSA) are seeking a call for the Federal Government to suspend all imports of foreign orange juice following the recent discovery of the chemical carbendazim in Brazilian orange concentrate. “The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service undertake random testing and as a result of the US ban, are now being requested to increase testing on all imported citrus juices,” CGSA chairman Mark Chown said. “CGSA believes that if the US Government had strong enough concerns to implement a total ban then we should also until our government is totally satisfied in regard to the detection of chemicals contained in the product.”

Rocky debris claims denied
By BRAD PERRY
THE South Australian Murray Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board has denied claims there is remaining debris from the removal of the regulator at Chambers Creek. Former Lake Bonney Management Committee chairman Mike Fuller claims there is tonnes of rock remaining at the creek, which connects Lake Bonney to the River Murray. “When they actually removed the culverts from the regulating structure, that material was left sitting on top of a concrete slab in the floor,” Mr Fuller said. “Essentially the representatives from government departments were dismissive of the concerns until we were out there one day in a boat and we got stuck on rocks in the middle of Chambers Creek and it was something that would
have been no more than 12 inches below the surface. “At least to their credit they removed that. “However there is still tonnes and tonnes of rock, to my knowledge, that is still left in place which creates a choke and reduces the inflow and outflow rates from the lake. “If the rate of flow is reduced, the ability to freshen the lake is also reduced, which impinges on its ability to be cared for appropriately and freshened whenever the opportunity arises.” However, a SA MDB NRM Board spokesman said there are no plans to carry out anymore work at the site after the regulator was removed on June 23 last year. “The entire site was dug out to a minimum depth of 1.2 metres and excavation occurred past the site of the exregulator to the pylons of the bridge and some way towards Loch Luna,” he said.
“Once work was completed at the site, a Transport SA Marine Safety Inspector checked the work and found the current depth 1.7 and 1.2 metres deep. “Sonar showed that the bottom was quite clean. “The SAMDB NRM Board, Department for Water (DFW) and the Berri Barmera Council agreed that the work was done to a satisfactory standard and no further work was required.” The spokesman said $20,000 was spent to remove the regulator and make the site safe for boat passage and said no funds have been budgeted for further works. “The channel is an active channel subject to normal instream processes therefore we are not able to guarantee that changes to the channel will not occur,” he said. “Silt, debris and snags are a normal part of a riverine environment.”

A new chapter for Michelle By BRAD PERRY WHEN a local building company that Berri’s Michelle Wenman was working for shut its doors, she knew it was time for a change of scenery. The 19-year-old had just completed her traineeship when the building company she was working for closed and from there Ms Wenman pondered what would be the next stage of her life. Growing up in Berri and having never travelled overseas, Ms Wenman decided to make the trip abroad. While the prospect of leaving the Riverland is a little daunting for Ms Wenman, she is looking forward to catching up with her family in Scotland and beyond. “I had just finished my traineeship at Murray River
Homes but unfortunately that closed down,” she said. “Instead of looking for another job I thought why not do something different. “Mum and Dad probably would have preferred me to move to Adelaide but I picked Scotland.” Ms Wenman, whose parents were born overseas, is planning a 12 month holiday involving work and travel, where she hopes to see as much of the UK as possible. “I love living here and it has been good growing up here but then you get to an age where you want to do something a bit different,” she said. Ms Wenman will miss her friends and family and also the warm weather but she is excited about seeing another part of the world.
“I spoke to my cousins last week and they said it is eight degrees during the day and they couldn't believe we had 42 degrees last week,” she laughed. “It will be hard to leave everyone but it's only a Skype call away.” Leaving on January 30, the A1 Berri netballer will also miss her first season with the club since she began playing at the age of eight. “Hopefully I can pick up a social team over there, that's how I can meet people,” she said. “Not playing for Berri will be a bit of a shock.” Ms Wenman also admits tackling the strong accent of her relatives will be one of her biggest challenges. “I might even come back with an accent,” she laughed.

THE Renmark Paringa Health Advisory Council will hold a public forum next month in regards to concerns being expressed by a number of families about a local aged care facility. Renmark Paringa HAC presiding member Karen Brown said more information is needed about the situation at the Renmark Nursing Home. “The members are still interested in going forth with the public

meeting for the residents and getting a bit more information from them,” she said. “We can say we feel the staffing ratio is not right but these are staffing formulas that have been set down and that has nothing to do with the hospital, that is country health and we can't change that. “As much as we'd like to have a carer for every resident it's just not feasible, so any change would have to come from country health. “The claims are being looked at by country health and by the staff
in line with the acting EODON and the director of health for the region.” Ms Brown said she will continue to fight for the community. “If there is an issue of neglect from the staff, which I don't think there is, I think there might be maybe a couple of issues but I don't think it's widespread through the nursing home,” she said. “I think there are some issues with the changes that have come in. “The new procedures and staff
are a little bit stressed out and they are not handling it very well and it's not filtering back up to the DON. “I am not going to dismiss those issues and I don't think it's a case of wilful neglect, I think it's a case of the staff being stressed and maybe a little bit overworked. “I think they are doing a great job and I don't think any of them would be there if they were wilfully neglecting patients.” Shadow Minister for Health and Ageing Martin Hamilton-Smith has
sent a “blunt” letter to State Health Minsiter John Hill outlining his concerns. “Clearly there are some families who are concerned about the present standard of care in the nursing home,” he said. “There have been claims of understaffing, I think those claims need proper investigation to see if they are real or perceived but there is no doubt there has been a breakdown in communication between Minister Hill and his department and the community at Renmark.”
Parents urged to vaccinate children before starting kindy olds has dropped over the past two years. During the same period there has been an increase in the notification rate of vaccine-preventable diseases such as whooping cough and measles. “The more people that are immunised, the rates of these preventable diseases will drop,” Mrs Rose said. From July 2012, families will need to have their children fully immunised in order to receive the family tax benefit end-of-year supplement. RDGP hosts a number of immunisation clinics across the Riverland, for more information phone 8582 3823.
We’ve obsessed over every detail. Now everything is about to fall into place.

ents can become complacent and forget to have their child vaccinated. “We are trying to promote for kids to get immunised before they start kindy because once they start kindy they are mixing with other children and are being exposed to other vaccinated preventable diseases that are out there,” she said. “We are hoping to get the four year old immunisation rates up because they are probably the lowest of all the age groups.” In fact, while South Australia boasts the highest coverage rates for one and two year old vaccinations, the state’s immunisation coverage in four year

PARENTS are being urged to have their children vaccinated before they start kindy in a bid to reduce the risk of spreading disease. The Riverland Division of General Practice (RDGP) is calling on children beginning kindy for the first time to have their four year old vaccinations before their first day. RDGP senior program officer Kerryn Rose said when children start kindy they are mixing with a larger group of people putting them at greater risk of infectious disease such as Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Polio, Measles, Mumps and Rubella. Mrs Rose said many par-

PATS needed for travel in region n From Page 1 “That would most definitely help local people.” She said the Riverland HACS had identified the lack of transport to the Riverland Regional Hospital in long term plans. “When we were doing the 10 year plans for each of the peripheral hospitals, it was identified in each and every one of those 10 year plans that transport was a concern back to the regional hospital,” she said. “There is a small transport program running thanks to the Berri Barmera Council. “There are small adhoc programs running but nothing that covers the service 24/7 and nothing that is on a regular timetable back and
forth.” Mark Ward, who is invovled with a local public transport committee, said bus schedules in major towns need to, at least, double. “I think it is really important we start to get into the 21st century and start to push the State Government and other parties to actually help us get that transport,” he said. “There is a lot of buses sitting around doing nothing for six to seven hours a day that could actually do a run backwards and forwards from each town. “It is inevitable that the regional hospital is going to take some of the services from the other town hospitals and we want to make sure people can actually access them.”

Concern over doctor retention By BRAD PERRY RETAINING doctors in the Riverland was on the top of Senator David Fawcett's agenda when he visited the region on Tuesday. The reasons for Senator Fawcett's trip to the region were to help develop regional health policies and his involvement in a senate enquiry into regional health. He met with representatives at Flinder’s in Renmark and he also met with local HACS in Berri. Senator Fawcett said he holds concerns about the future of local hospitals with the Riverland Regional Hospital to be finished its upgrades by next year. “That ($41 million Riverland Regional Hospital) investment has been made by the State Government which is great,” he said.
“The issue is, are they going to actually be able to attract and obtain a workforce to keep that going? “If we have all the hospitals here start closing down...then you are going to have less opportunities for people, even through things like the Flinder’s training program, to get training in a rural environment and even less opportunity to have full on intern placements for graduates.” Mr Fawcett said training doctors is also crucial for the region's health system. “The real issues in terms of getting people into rural practice are at the training level, people who don't have an exposure to rural lifestyle don't tend to come and stay,” he said. “The stats show if you get people into a long term rural training place, you can get 50 to 60 per cent retention with
Town hospitals must remain SHADOW Minister for Health and Ageing Martin Hamilton-Smith said he was surprised to learn the $41 million upgrade of the Riverland Regional Hospital in Berri will not increase the number of beds at the site. He is calling on the State Government to ensure services at surrounding hospitals, such as level one surgery, are not “sucked into Berri”. “I was a bit surprised there wasn't an increase in the number of beds at the hospital but I was encouraged to hear that the rooms will now generally be single rooms without as much sharing and the quality of the facilities will improve significantly,” Minister Hamilton-Smith said. “Although a $41 million hospital at Berri is going to deliver enormous benefits, it must not be at the expense of primary health care delivered from local hospital and medical facilities from other towns in the Riverland. “My view is that you want to keep people out of major hospitals by delivering health
✚
care to locations where they work and live, so I don't want to see those other hospitals stripped down to pay for Berri.” Minister Hamilton-Smith said there is growing concern surgical procedures at the Renmark Paringa Hospital will be centralised to Berri. “My concern is the doctors wanting to carry out surgical procedures at Renmark have the support they need to do their work and I did hear there was concern about having the right appropriately qualified clinical nurses available at the required times at Renmark,” he said. “The other issue was a more general concern that surgical cases were going to be redirected from Renmark to Berri, which is a considerable distance if you are old and you don't have a motor car.” Minister Hamilton-Smith met with several key health stakeholders and community groups during a visit to the region last Thursday.

Paringa resident unhappy with treatment at aged care facility A PARINGA resident, who does not wish to be named, has expressed concerns over the treatment of her mother-in-law at the Renmark Paringa Home. On a number of occasions whilst visiting, she saw several signs of miscommunication between staff and what she described as a “comedy of errors”. The resident's relative was in the home late last year. “I'd been going up nearly every day since she was admitted and from what we could see up until the last week of her life, she seemed to be looked after quite well,” she said. “The carers especially were thinking her care was really important.” The Paringa resident said the nurses at the home appeared to be trying their best with the resources at their disposal but it appeared there was a lack of staff. In one instance when she visited, the
$
resident said her mother-in-law's intravenous drip was not working and was beeping over and over when she arrived. “I could hear it beeping outside of her room and as I walked in there and I thought 'what is going on'?” she said. “She was restless, distressed in her bed and she was moving her head backwards and forwards, side to side and one of her pillows was on the floor and this thing was just beeping and beeping and beeping. “I was there for five to 10 minutes and that was enough for me, I rang the bell to get a staff member around. “I just wonder how often they are checking them and with an alarm going off like that, surely one of the nurses would have heard that noise because I heard it way outside of her room. “For her to be so distressed, I just wonder how long she was unattended for.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Abiding by taxi regulations RECENT allegations of inappropriate behaviour (War Over Taxi Ranks, Riverland Weekly, December 22) have been strongly denied by the operator and their drivers. Taxi and passenger vehicle drivers must demonstrate the highest levels of professionalism and conduct in accordance with sub-contractual agreements whilst operating and in possession of a business vehicle. It is very unfortunate taxis and passenger transport operators can be blanketed as one and we are working on strategies to ensure the community is aware of who is who. Last year there was an enquiry into allegations of continuous complaints put forward to local police and the Department for Transport of inappropriate, threatening and unacceptable behaviour by certain individual drivers/operators. As an accredited operator, behaviour of this calibre towards our drivers or company is completely unacceptable. We are a long established, accredited operator, who has been servicing the Riverland region for more than a decade. During that time, the company has demonstrated an extremely high level of professionalism, customer focused services delivery and competitive pricing so Riverland communities, businesses, visitors and tourists have readily available access 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to public transport (taxis and mini buses). We have had to ensure adequate measures are in place regarding incident reporting to ensure such people employed by operators be-
having in such a way are dealt with appropriately and through the right processes. A driver working environment should be safe and secure and free of these types of distractions. I am pleased to say that since the intervention of local police and the Department for Transport the issue has considerably reduced. This has been supported by the removal and/or resignation of certain individuals who have worked for an alternative taxi operation. If you want to provide a reputable and trusted business for the public to access, then at minimum, basic business principles apply when dealing with clientele, staff and operational analysis. If these aren’t upheld or you do not have the ability to adequately cater for the community or customer, then I guess the inevitable is closure. To allege ‘monopoly’ is ludicrous. Individual operators are clearly identifiable by way of contactable service numbers displayed on individual vehicles, as well as driver uniform attire. Customers and clientele are at all times encouraged to provide service feedback to the accredited operator, drivers and/or governing bodies. I believe Riverland Taxis, generally, are exemplary of passenger transport services with an ongoing requirement for the Department for Transport to continually monitor, assess driver suitability, vehicle safety and licensing requirements in which they do. It is very much required for the Department for Transport and current stakeholders to, in due course, monitor and liaise regarding community trends and growth to ensure vehicle numbers and accred-
Have your say about the issues that affect you. ited operators are not excessive or in surplus and that the community expectations of service delivery are met. Any area or designated zone that facilitates a surplus of vehicles or excessive operators will directly impact service delivery, driver retainment and demonstrate a negative impact for current operators and the community. If customers believe that a breach of the passenger transport act or any regulation has occurred then we would encourage reporting of this to your local accredited operator or Department for Transport. Information can also be found at www.sa.gov.au under public transportation, taxis, which also includes contact details for the Taxi Council of SA.

throats). 4. There is no sea level rise, it is never going to happen. I made three predictions in the local press about this time last year to support my views. They were 1. Floods, (18/8/10, Riverland Weekly); 2. A mild, overcast summer, (26/9/10); 3. Diminished grain yields. The river did run a banker, it was a lame summer (not one fire ban) and apart from South Australia, the rest of the country did suffer diminished grain yields, in spite of the widespread optimism right up until harvest. Through all of this our public servants to a man were screaming, ‘warmer, drier future’. If you are not ready to buy into the global cooling argument then why didn’t I see you parading your warming beliefs down the main street this winter in shorts and singlet as did one young lass. I had to look twice; I swear her legs were blue. Steven Davies, Millicent.
Where is the warming? WE ARE fully three years into a 20 year global cooling trend. If we are not ready to take this theory on board in the face of the massive media blitz trumpeting the con that is global warming, then if we could just ask the question: where is the warming? Here are four truths set in concrete: 1. There has been no land surface temperature rise since 1998, nor will there be. 2. There is no sea surface temperature rise. 3. There is no sea acidity rise and there never will be (this fairy story is the most indigestable load of swill ever being forced down our

Which way to vote AN ARTICLE in the daily paper quoted leaders of the Anglican Church as seeking community unity with a ‘Yes’ vote at the next referendum about recognising indigenous people in the Constitution. In fact a ‘Yes’ vote to recognise Aboriginal people in the Constitution will deliver dis-unity. Our Constitution currently recognises all Australian citizens, irrespective of their race or culture. To make special Constitutional reference to one group immediately creates the potential to treat that group differently. Is that really what Archbishop
Driver and Anglicare’s Lynn Arnold want? To his credit, the indigenous leader, Warren Mundine, has committed to campaign for a ‘NO’ vote. Ken Grundy, Naracoorte, SA.
Students deserve credit THIS year more regional students should qualify for independent youth allowance. This could only have happened through the persistent lobbying and determination by students, their parents, education stakeholders and the Coalition for the abolition of the unfair 30 hour work rule that the Labor government introduced in 2010. Consequently, thousands of students from inner regional areas struggled to qualify for the allowance. Students had their day of victory last September when the government did a back-flip and changed the criteria back to what it was originally. Interestingly the government is now enthusiastically spruiking the latest changes that came into effect on January 1 this year. Its enthusiasm for such change would have been welcome months ago when students and their families were at their wits’ end as to how they were going to afford a tertiary education. If anyone deserves credit for the fairer deal on independent youth allowance, it is the students who never gave up, not the government. Senator Fiona Nash, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Education The Nationals Senator for NSW.

Feature pet of the month: Rats WHILE rats are not the most popular choice of pet, for some the rodent is a great companion. Pet rats can be friendly animals who get along well with their kin. Domesticated rats grow to a body length of around 12 to 15 centimetres with a tail roughly the same length, so they do not take up much space. However, rats are also territorial creatures and will fight if their living environment is overcrowded, so it is recommended you room only
two together, both being of the same sex. The best place to keep your rat is in a suitably sized cage. The cage will need a separate area for eating and drinking and it is also ideal for the rat to have a toilet and sleeping area. A rat will need around an hour free time out of the cage each day to run around. Make sure the cage is escape-proof as rats will chew through anything within reach. Contrary to popular belief, rats are very clean
animals and like their cage to be thoroughly cleaned regularly, protecting their health, yours and minimising odour from droppings. Rats are also relatively easy creatures to feed and love their food. It is best to provide them with a seed-based diet, including oats, sunflower seeds, fresh fruit, vegetables and cooked chicken bones. Rats do not require any vaccinations but if you are bitten by one you must see your doctor for a tetanus shot.
■ CUTE?: Pet rats require plenty of work and upkeep.
Tips to keep your cat and dog cool during hot summer months WITH hot weather here, vets are providing some practical tips to keep your pets cool over the summer months. Australian Veterinary Association’s Dr David Neck said vet clinics are often inundated by calls from concerned pet owners during summer heatwaves. “It’s important to remember that dogs and cats can’t sweat to cool down like we do,” he said. “They need to pant in order to regulate their
temperature, and dogs and cats with long hair can be more susceptible to the effects of the heat.”
Here are some tips to keep your dog or cat cool this summer: ■ Make sure there is cool, fresh water available at all times. Leave this in a shady area. On really hot days it might be worth leaving multiple bowls of cool water in the shade that can’t be tipped over.
■ Keep an eye on pets as they will be susceptible to the particularly if they problems with breathing.
older more heat, have their
■ Dogs love to sit in the sun but prolonged sun exposure can quickly lead to heat exhaustion and can cause skin cancers, so it’s important to provide them with a shaded area. ■ One way to provide relief from the heat is to fill the kids’ paddling pool with a couple of inches
of water and leave this in a shady spot for your dog to sit in. Tossing a few ice cubes in your dog or cat’s water bowl can help to keep their temperature down and provide some relief on a hot day. ■ Consider putting some treats in the freezer. These can be given to your pet as a pet popsicle on really hot days. They’ll help cool your pet down and give them something to do when you’re out.

RIVERLAND GEM AND MINERAL SHOW
What a gem of a show THE Riverland Gem and Mineral Club celebrates its 40th anniversary with the popular biennial show taking place at the Berri Town Hall on January 28 and 29. The show, expected to be attended by around 1000 people, showcases the world of fascinating jewellery and rocks amongst like-minded attendees from around Australia. Riverland Gem and Mineral Show co-ordinator Dennis Millard said there will be a wide range of stallholders selling and showing gems and minerals, all crafted and polished by hand for a stunning finish. Amongst the popular demonstrations will be silversmithing, faceting and wire wrapping.
The silversmithing process is particularly technical involving a raw piece of silver and working it into a piece of jewellery. Silversmiths can saw or cut specific shapes from sterling and
come out the ground and there is every chance you will also find them where they’ve been already cleaned and polished up and even made into jewellery,” Mr Millard said.
Some people have booked for the next gem and mineral show at ths one. fine silver sheet metal and bar stock and then using hammers, form the metal over anvils and stakes for such things like knobs, handles and feet for holloware. Faceting is also a unique live demonstration to be at the event. “You can come in and see a stone in its dirty state, as it has
Those who have a keen eye for the gem and mineral industry will not want to miss the wire wrapping demonstrations where a tiny set of pliers and cutters sees gold, silver or copper wire transformed into the shape of a stone holder for a piece of jewellery. The friendly and sociable
event gives locals and those from across South Australia, the unique chance to showcase their gem and minerals. One will not want to miss the various collections of fossils on display. Much planning has gone into this year’s event and Mr Millard said seeing the show perform successfully is the club’s reward for all their efforts. Mr Millard said the event also helps attract many people to the region, boosting the local economy. “Some people have booked for the next one at this one,” he said. The show will run from 9am to 4pm at the Berri Town Hall on January 28 and 29, with tickets costing just $4 and children free.

Gem and Mineral Club celebrates 40th anniversary THE Riverland Gem and Mineral Club has been operating since 1972, when it first held a meeting at the Adult Education Building in Renmark. The meeting was attended by 23 prospective members with Lester Burton elected as the first president. As the club expanded, the second meeting involved the Sunraysia Lapidary Club from Mildura and this relationship still exists today with three members of that original group still active in the Riverland club. Venues across the Riverland have been used over the years for the club’s meetings and workshops and many field trips looking for fossils and coloured sand have been taken. Today the club, in its 40th year, has a home at Glossop and continues to hold the Riverland Gem and Mineral Show as well as monthly meetings showcasing many unique collections for its 30 members.

There h are people that come here and say ‘wow, a little town did this?’
AS WELL as being an enjoyable Australia Day event for the Riverland community and beyond, the Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular is raising funds for a good cause. The Make-a-Wish Foundation Riverland branch, with president Dallas Zeliff, is the recipient of a donation from the event. Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular organiser Shane Corner said helping such a worthy cause is something those volunteering at the event are proud to be associated with. “I’ve got a soft spot for Make-A-Wish,” Mr Corner said. “I’ve done a lot work with them in my time. “I’ve seen a wish given out to one of the children and that makes it all worthwhile.”

WHEN it comes to the Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular, the little town of Cobdogla certainly knows how to put on a true Australia Day show. The event, which has developed a strong showing in numbers and support over the years as a fundraiser for the Make-aWish Foundation, will be held at the Cobdogla Oval on Saturday starting at 6pm and running until late. Organisers Shane Corner and Mark Shugg are hoping for a 1000 plus crowd with many donning their Australian colours and the true Aussie spirit. Among those in attendance
will be several visitors staying at the local caravan park, who have decided to return especially for the event.

With the popular water spot inaccessible during last year’s high river, Cobdogla Oval became the temporary home of the event. However, an overwhelming showing of people at the 2011 event demonstrated just how big the Australia Day celebrations at Cobdogla are and organisers decided to again hold the Spectacular at the oval. “We got flooded out but the Gods did something good for us by moving it down there,” Mr Corner said.

spirit at Cobdogla The beginning AUSTRALIA Day celebrations at Bruno Bay were first seriously discussed by a group of locals around a bonfire. An annual tree pull event was held each year to clear Bruno Bay of foliage at its entrance and it was during the burning of the timber that Australia Day was organised. So what began as a small group of people gathered with the backdrop of Bruno Bay in 2007, turned into a big day filled with music, food and fireworks. Money raised from the the initial event went to the establishment of a boat ramp and facilities at Bruno Bay. Since the annual event was established, Mr Corner said the town of Cobdogla and surrounding areas have benefited from increased patronage through the local caravan park and shops.

AUSTRALIA DAY

Waikerie’s Extravaganza WAIKERIE’S ever growing Australia Day Extravaganza will take place next Saturday with the event set to welcome thousands of people. The Waikerie Oval hosts the Waikerie Australia Day Extravaganza from 6pm with over 2500 people expected to flock to the event. Waikerie Australia Day Committee chairperson David Gwynne is encouraging everyone to embrace the Australian culture and enjoy a great family night out. “We get people from all around the Riverland, the Barossa Valley, Clare and Adelaide,” he said. “There’s lots of kid’s rides and games. “The kids can run around on the football oval, while Mum and Dad can sit back, have a bite to eat, have a drink and talk to all of their friends.” The Waikerie Australia Day Extravaganza is well known for its monster fireworks display and Mr Gwynne promised nothing less this year when it begins between 10 and 11pm. “The kids love fireworks,” he said. “I think it’s the best thing about a show.” Another drawcard will be 1970s party band Fizzy Pop, who will be playing classic covers, including YMCA, It’s Raining Men and Thriller. “They play good, easy listening music,” Mr Gwynne said.
Mr Gwynne believes the extravaganza will be the perfect way to celebrate Australia Day and especially for Waikerie residents, it is also a chance to relax. He said Waikerie citizens have had a tough time in recent months with the town’s hotel fire and storm damage. “Most of the retail stores have been doing it tough as well,” Mr Gwynne said. “We want people to come here and forget about all those worries.” Mr Gwynne said the show has received such a positive reception in the past that it was chosen to represent South Australia at the National Australia Day Conference in Melbourne last year. “I was pretty proud of that,” he said. The Loxton Waikerie Council will present Australia Day awards on the night and there will be a large array of food and beverage stalls on offer.
■ SPECTACULAR: The Waikerie Australia Day Extravaganza is known for its magnificent fireworks display which will kick off at around 10pm this year. The event will take place at the Waikerie Oval next Saturday.

Aussie all the way with Vegemite snag By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THERE are few things more Australian than Vegemite and sausage sizzles and Monash butcher Daryl Muller may have stumbled upon the perfect combination. The man known as The Sausage King has put his thinking cap on for Australia Day and has come up with a unique concept; a cheese and Vegemite sausage.
Mr Muller said the sausages, which will be gluten-free, are perfect for the Australia Day barbecue. “I don't know whether we'll do it at any other time but I just thought we'd do something different for Australia Day,” he said. “We've got some Vegemite and some good cheddar cheese so I thought I'd do a combination.” Mr Muller said he could not resist sampling the

sausages after he had made the first batch. “The last lot didn't have quite enough Vegemite but it was still a nice sausage,” he said. “You don't want too much Vegemite but you want enough in it to know that it's there.” If the sausages were to take off, Mr Muller said he would have no hesitation in making it a regular Australia Day product.

Pie eating fun
You are invited to attend the Renmark Paringa Council’s 2012 Australia Day Celebrations
TRADITIONS are an important part of Australia and no more so than Cobdogla Club’s annual Australia Day Pie Eating Competition on January 28. Around 200 people are expected to attend the event as competitors try to eat as many pies as possible. Combining three of Australia’s icons, beer, pies and pavlova, the competition is expected to be run in the true Australia Day spirit. Cobdogla Club manager Emma White said the competition is a popular event. “Last year we had about 19 competitors in the men’s and there was about 13 in the women’s and we would’ve had about 30 kids in all the different age groups,” Mrs White said. “Last year was probably one of the better ones for men in particular.” For men taking part, they will have the challenge of eating a pie and drinking a beer as fast as they can, while women will face the same challenge, only with pavlova instead of pies. For the youngsters, party pies and soft drink will be the replacement. It is not just the locals who embrace the thrill of the pie eating competition, with many from Adelaide and across the state making the trip to Cobdogla for the night. “We actually get two families from Adelaide that come up every year to compete,” Mrs White said. “One’s been coming for four or five years. “We get a lot of response from both locals and tourists.” Mrs White said continuing the traditions, such as the pie eating contest, is important for the region on Australia Day.

School leavers consider automotive industry THE Motor Trade Association of South Australia is calling for students that are passionate about motor vehicles and yet to decide on their career path to consider the many trades offered through the South Australian automotive industry. MTA SA executive director John Chapman said there
are literally hundreds of apprenticeships, traineeship and jobs available throughout the industry. “Many students who finish school are now considering an apprenticeship as their chosen career path,� Mr Chapman said. “Apprentices can earn
cold hard cash while they are gaining the necessary skills and qualifications to have a lifetime career in the motor industry. “And with workshops now cleaner and safer than ever before, and plenty of jobs available, a career in the motor trades is really the smart choice
for many South Australians,� The MTA’s training centre, based at Royal Park, is South Australia’s premier automotive training facility with a $2.7 million dollar state-of-the-art workshop that includes dedicated light and heavy vehicle workshops. “The upgrade of our
training facility at Royal Park means that apprentices will receive the best training using the latest equipment and technologies,� Mr Chapman said. “Once the students have finished their training they will be better prepared to have a long career in their chosen motor trade.�
The MTA offers a range of apprenticeships for both school leavers and people looking for a new career challenge. Apprenticeships are offered for motor mechanics, diesel mechanics, panel beaters, vehicle painters, auto electricians and automotive parts interpreters.

Don’t forget to set New Year’s money resolutions By AMP Financial Planner Danny Kearney* THE New Year is a time when people tend to reflect on the past 12 months and the changes they’d like to make in their lives. Many resolve to quit smoking, lose weight or do more exercise. And if you’re keen to get on top of your finances, some New Year’s money resolutions are the way to go. Here are 10 things people can do, regardless of their income levels, to improve their financial wellbeing in 2012.
Top 10 New Year money resolutions: Start with a budget It’s essential to have a household budget and stick to it. If you spend more than you earn, it can quickly land you on the rollercoaster of debt. Make a promise to start living within your means.
Differentiate between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’ Don’t be too hard on yourself, but
do you really need the $100 per month pay TV package? You probably don’t watch half of the programs. Cars are big traps too. It’s nice to drive the latest and greatest but don’t live for your car. Be sensible.
Shop smart Look for ways to reduce your spending such as using discount petrol dockets, taking your own lunch to work, cutting back on takeaway dinners and car pooling. Reduce your weekly grocery bill by shopping for your fruit and veggies at farmers’ markets, buying generic groceries and planning meals to avoid waste. Always shop around for the best deal when purchasing big ticket items.
Use credit cards wisely Credit card debt is fine if you pay it off each month before interest is incurred. But if you have a large amount of debt sitting on your card, it could be costing you an astronomical amount in interest each year. Interest rates on credit cards are sometimes as high as 20 per cent or more, so it’s important to pay off
05",)# !##/5.4!.4 2%')34%2%$ 4!8 !'%.4
,/#!,,9 /7.%$ /0%2!4%$
this kind of debt as fast as possible. To do that you will need to make more than the minimum repayments each month. If you have several cards maxedout, consider rolling all the debt into one low interest-bearing card to save on interest. Once you have finally paid the card off, cut it up and switch to a debit card if you have to.
Have an emergency fund As a contingency for life’s unexpected expenses, it’s vital to have an emergency fund or access to cash through a mortgage redraw facility or offset account. A good rule of thumb is to have at least three months salary in the kitty. This will avoid the need to rely on credit cards in the event of an emergency.
Get savvy with your superannuation Australians are losing around $1 billion a year in fees, lost payments and earnings by holding several super accounts they aren’t contributing to (Rice Warner Actuaries 2008). AMP has introduced a simple service allowing customers to consolidate their super online for free at amp.com.au/consolidate, or by calling 133 888. Also consider topping up your superannuation by salary sacrificing another two to five per cent of your income, depending on how much you can afford. Lower income earners should also make the most of the government co-contribution scheme.
Review your mortgage

The most effective way to save interest on your home loan is to make extra repayments each month. The monthly repayments on a $300,000 mortgage over a 25 year term at 7.25 per cent are around $2,168. But a person could pay the loan off 10 years earlier and save $158,277 in interest if they increased their monthly repayments by $575. People can also attack their loan
■CUT: Reviewing your credit card debt is an important money resolution of 2012. faster by paying fortnightly instead of monthly and making lump sum repayments whenever they can. It’s also now easier for consumers to shop around for a better deal after home loan exit fees were abolished on all mortgages taken out from July 1, 2011. However people with loans taken out before this date need to carefully consider the costs associated with moving a mortgage.
Have a debt strategy Financial worries can be very stressful, so it is important for people to take control of their debt before it starts controlling them. The general rule of thumb is to pay off ‘bad’ debt like credit cards first as they usually have the highest interest rates. Once bad debts are under control, a person can then target other debts such as their car loan and home loan and save even more in interest. As the interest rates on home loans are much lower than other loans, this type of debt should only be targeted more aggressively after your credit card and other high interest loans are under control.
Protect your family It’s not something we want to think about but you need to ask yourself how your family would cope
financially if you or your partner were injured in an accident, became too sick to work, or even worse, passed away. These days, insurance doesn’t have to be a big drain on the budget. If cash flow is tight, you can get affordable life insurance and income protection through your superannuation. After a change in regulations a few years ago, it is now possible to obtain income protection insurance from some funds to age 65 inside your super.
Save for the future While most people are pretty good at saving for short-term goals such as end of year holidays, they often forget to put money aside for the future. Make sure you have a savings plan for medium-term goals such as a deposit on your first home and longer term milestones, like retirement funding and the kid’s education. *Danny Kearney is an Authorised Representative of AMP Financial Planning Pty Ltd, ABN 89 051 208 327, AFS Licence No. 232706.

PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE – IMPACT OF RECENT FIRES ON RAIN WATER USED FOR DRINKING To minimise exposure to residues from smoke and ash, it is recommended that if rain water is used for drinking purposes, first flush devices should be used between the roof and the tank to prevent ash and other contaminants entering the rain water tank. In the absence of a first flush device, the inlet from the roof to the rain water tank should be disconnected until ash has been removed from the roof, e.g. by cleaning the roof and gutters. Where a treated drinking water supply is available it is recommended that this be used for drinking purposes in preference to rain water. The following information can be found at http://www. dh.sa.gov.au/pehs/environ-health-index.htm: ‘Rainwater quality and bushfires’, ‘Rainwater tanks: Maintenance and water care’ &‘Guidance on the use of rainwater tanks’ Or contact the Berri Barmera Council if you would like to receive copies of this information DAVID BEATON CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

ARE you tired of the hot sun turning your once thriving grassed area into a haven for prickles? Worry no more because Waikerie based No Mow has the solution. Installing Synthetic Turf options, No Mow can give your front or backyard guaranteed greeness, rain, hail or shine. Not only does the grass have easy upkeep but it looks like the real thing. No Mow owners John and Maureen Sullivan took over Mc Civil Synthetic Turf operation four years ago and renamed it No Mow Synthetic Turf Products. The business is the only South Australian distributors of this type of Australian made turf. No Mow has a range of household turf products and can supply other surfaces throughout the Riverland and Mallee. The synthetic grass products always look great, are cost effective and are child and pet friendly, according to John. If you are unsure of what size of synthetic lawn you want to install or how much it will cost, a free measure and quote,
plus advice on lawn design, is offerred by John. John said the turf pays for itself in three years when one takes into account the cost of water, fuel for mowing and much more. With No Mow’s turf you get up to eight years UV warranty and a life expectancy of 20 years. John prides himself on the finished product from converting a weed covered, or dust bowl area, to lush looking, neatly trimmed, green turf. “Everyone who has had it laid is very happy with the decision,� he said. As well as domestic installation, synthetic grass
is also being more regularly used in commercial applications, whether there is a problem using natural grass due to heavy traffic areas, water restraints, access, turf regeneration because of shade, or the cost of maintenance. No Mow can also install paving and do various other handyman jobs. No Mow travels across South Australia and interstate to provide you with no stress lawn and can sell to you with instructions to do it yourself.

Veterans take on Tigers’ role
■ UNSAFE: The state of the surface at the Berri Oval has led to the RTCA Twenty20 final being rescheduled.
By BRAD PERRY
Photo: BRAD PERRY
Oval condition sees final postponed ■ From Page 28 “There is no problem with the pitch, the square is immaculate but what they’ve done is the sub-surface irrigation on the whole oval and it’s so uneven,” Berri Cricket Club president Matthew Hughes said. “It is a bit of a safety issue at the moment. “We’ve just got to pump the water on it and keep rolling the whole oval.” The rescheduling of the final is another moment in a frustrating season for Berri, who were awarded the one day final trophy by forfeit to Renmark in controversial circumstances. Hughes said many of the A grade team thought the Twen-
ty20 final should have been played much earlier. “I think they (the team) are a bit disappointed they couldn’t get it out of the way a bit earlier because of what’s been done with all the sub-surface irrigation,” he said. “A lot of the guys wanted to play before they started the two day cricket.” Despite the final being rescheduled, Hughes said the club is looking forward to embracing the Twenty20 night match. “A lot of people are looking forward to playing under lights and seeing what sort of crowd we can get there,” he said. Loxton Cricket Club A grade captain Steve Inglis said the circumstances of the can-
cellation were unfortunate. “Obviously they’ve checked that Berri has the best lights to play under lights, so I just think for the sake of promoting cricket in the Riverland, it is important to be rescheduled and played on a Friday night and hopefully we’ll get a reasonable crowd,” he said. Inglis said the A grade team will use the delay as a positive to further prepare for the game. “One advantage for us is, at Loxton, our cricket has been getting better and better,” he said. “So if it is in three weeks time, hopefully we’ve improved even more and even increased our chances of having a win.”
Every Bat Reduced
EAST Murray Football Club will be guided in the coming season by two veterans with more than 700 games experience between them. Darren 'Fred' Zadow and Justin Boughen will take over the reigns from 'Goof' Smith during a period where the club is developing a number of talented juniors. The pair decided to cocoach the Riverland Independent Football team, as well as take to the field in the 2012 season. Zadow, who has played
more than 400 games, said he is pleased to be taking on the role at such an exciting time for the club. “We've got some good young kids coming up out of colts and we've managed to recruit a couple of other younger blokes,” he said. “I am looking forward to working with these younger kids to develop them and hopefully we get some good results. “I like to think we are both well respected within the club by these younger blokes.” Last season East Murray feel agonisingly short in
Kearney tees off at Berri TERRY Kearney was victorious at the Berri Golf Club's Stableford competition last Wednesday. Kearney scored 38 points in the competition to finish ahead of Rod George and youngster Keenan Wilksch (both 35) who were both ball winners. George shot a birdie on the sixth hole but it was not enough as Kearney narrowly won the event. Meanwhile, on Friday night, 21 points was enough for Emmalee Atze to hold off five challengers in the twilight stableford event. Mark Wilksch, John
Meakin, Steve Cronje, Les Campbell and Rob Sully all shot 20 points with Tim Branford producing a birdie on the 16th hole. On the weekend, there were two stableford events played with Campbell winning with 38 points, followed closely by Jim Efthimiou on 37. Spencer Baylis (36 points), Paul Cummins (35), Branford, Warren Adams, Peter Frahn and Steve Critchley (all 34) were ball winners. On Sunday, Mark Wilksch narrowly won with 39 points ahead of ball winners Branford and Baylis who finished with 37

the semi-final and Zadow is hoping to turn that form around. “It would be nice to take that next step,” he said. “We were hoping to retain 95 per cent of the group but we are going to sustain some loses but they will be soundly filled.” The popular country footballer has also declared the 2012 season to be his last, where he will finish close to 450 games for his career. “I enjoy the culture of football, you develop a passion for the game,” Zadow said.

Stoked to take on Renmark role
Ski team hitting the mark
■ NEW COLOURS: Experienced player and coach Brett Stokes will lead Renmark in the coming Riverland hockey season. Photo: CALLUM TRIFONOFF ■ From Page 32 Stokes also later had a brief stint in the Barossa Valley. “The Loxton move was all about the opportunity to play at a higher level,” Stokes said. “Berri had an excess of players through the junior and senior ranks in those days and it was great that Loxton gave me the opportunity. “Employment took me to the Barossa.” Back at Berri, Stokes has been both a premiership player and coach over the years and during that time he has won Riverland A grade
best and fairest awards and was named the Riverland Sportsperson of the Year for 2005/06. His coaching skills have also seen him involved with the SA Men’s Country team and also with the Australian under 21 side on overseas tours before his appointment to his position with the senior country squad this season. “Going to Renmark is not all about winning premierships,” Stokes said. “I was extremely impressed by Renmark’s approach and plans for the future and have decided to be part of that developmental
process for the benefit of the club sure, but hopefully for hockey in general.” Renmark Hockey Club president Paul Hutchins is excited at Stoke’s appointment saying there was a three year plan to not only improve the coaching of players through the age groups but to work on an updated, modern approach to coaching methods, game plans and the like, right across the grades. Developing a chain of coaches with a common agenda was the aim and Hutchins also saw Stokes having an influence on how the club was run both on and off the field of play.

■ BERRI team ‘Hit it’ with Damien Philp driving, his father Chris observing and Saxton Brown on the skis, took out the 70 Expert Class title at the Australian Speed and Marathon championships at Barmera’s Lake Bonney last week. The actual race was one of the most exciting on the four day program with six boats lined up across the course approaching the finish line. How close it was in an event where the 70 mile per hour boats raced in conjunction with the 60 mile per hour Expert Class is illustrated by ‘Hit It’ being first across the line with
a time of 28.30 minutes, followed closely by four boats from the 60mph Class, ‘High Velocity’, ‘Psycho Clowns’ F1, ‘Southern Force’ and ‘Psycho Clowns’ F2 that were all disqualified because “they went too fast”. The boat that officially placed second was then The Specimin that crossed the line sixth in 29.19 minutes. The Psycho Clowns’ boats were the standouts at the event both for their eye catching looks and their performance. The F1 unit won the Unlimited Inboard title towing past multiple world champion Wayne Mawer,

while the F2 boat made it a championship double taking out the Outboards with James Hogben on the skis. There was also considerable interest in the ‘Mojo’ boats raced by Mildura’s popular Kelly family of V8 Super Car fame. A lot has been said about the Australian titles at Lake Bonney but perhaps the comments of some leading Sydney competitors sum it up best. They considered the venue “the best in Australia”, in fact, they felt it was so good that all Australian championships of that type should be held there.

Riverland Football League calls special meeting to...
Tackle player shortage ■ THE Riverland Football League is holding a special meeting at its Headquarters in Berri next Monday “to discuss and try to resolve the player shortage for the 2012 season”. A number of clubs did continue to struggle for player numbers last season and it is obvious that with the region’s population as it stands, there will be an important and continued reliance on recruits being lured to travel to the competitions to bolster club ranks. On every occasion this matter is raised I think of a person I consider one of the most astute thinkers on the game, Barry ‘Buff’ Tyrell, and of many discussions I had with him during the 1980s. For a start, why wouldn’t you respect the views of a man who arrived as player-coach of the Barmera Monash Football Club in 1982, already something of a legend through his playing deeds on our West Coast and at Woodville in the SANFL, ended an extremely long premiership drought for his new club and went on to mastermind five flags and play in another all before he retired aged 44 in 1994? But he did more than that. As well as changing the culture at Barmera-Monash, he also left an indelible effect on the remainder of the RFL clubs and indeed the league in general as far as what was necessary to be successful both on and off the field
■ SHORT?: The Riverland Football League is holding a special meeting on Monday to address the shortage of players in the region for 2012. of play was concerned. Those discussions I had with ‘Buff’ are also indelible. He considered way back then that there were too many teams across our league and felt that for the future of the game the two structured A grade/Independent system needed to be closely looked at. He supported his theory with some sound reasoning but I imagine that I did not respond to his idea with very much enthusiasm at the time. After all I was the president of a rival Riverland club and I must admit that any thoughts
on the future of the game as a whole would have been buried beneath the strong desire to succeed as soon as possible on the home front. Having said that, I doubt whether things have changed in 2012 and wonder what a gathering of club representatives will achieve next Monday night. Is it widely possible that the meeting will decide to call in an Independent body to review our Riverland situation? Remember many other country areas have been thoroughly scrutinised by such a procedure so such an approach would be
nothing new. In a number of other areas a review of that type resulted in changes such as the closing of clubs, mergers and even the formation of new leagues. There has been hurt, pain and even bitterness resulting from the decisions but in many cases the outcomes have been positive, with the future of the sport in those areas enhanced. It is interesting to note that in 2011 the SANFL launched its Strategic Plan for SA Community Football. A media release at the time said in part that community football is the lifeblood of our great game. The release said the league’s responsibility as administrator is to provide sustainable pathways to growth and encourage participation to ensure the survival of grassroots football at the levels within the communities. So if I was still a club administrator and an independent review of our league was discussed at next Monday night’s meeting, how would I react? Honestly? Firstly I would probably run out the old line ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’. Then the fear that any such procedure may result in something I did not want to hear would probably make me an abstaining voter. The RFL meeting will begin at 7.30pm.
Kimber bowls over local competition ■ LOXTON division one bowls skipper Peter Kimber will represent Region Four in the finals of the State Men’s Singles on Sunday, January 29, in Adelaide after the local zone eliminations were completed at Loxton last weekend. Kimber defeated Waikerie’s Gary Pursche 21-17 in the final after moving past Ben Quarter-Bourns (Renmark) and Dennis Treloar (Berri) in keenly contested knockout matches earlier in the day, both with 21-18 scorelines. Pursche had progressed in the knockouts by defeating Barmera’s Dave Mill’s 21-4, and Berri’s Craig Treloar, in a cliffhanger, 21-20. In other matches, Phil Ashton (Barmera) won an early game against Darren Piltz (Moorook) 21-8 but then went down to Dennis Treloar 9-21 and Craig Treloar defeated clubmate Andrew Hill 21-16. I spoke to Peter Kimber, a veteran of some 31 years in the game, on Monday and was surprised to find that this was the first time he had taken out this State Singles tournament and represented the zone in the finals in Adelaide. In fact, Peter said that his biggest career wins were “a couple of champion of champions events” over the years. Nevertheless Peter has been one of the most consistent top liners in Riverland bowls for many years and I gauge from my involvement reporting on the game, that he passes the ‘respected by both friend and foe’ criteria I have often mentioned with honours. We wish him well in the city at the finals.

...but T20 final postponed By BRAD PERRY AND CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Riverland Turf Cricket Association Twenty20 final scheduled for tomorrow night has been cancelled after the Berri Oval was deemed unsafe to play on. Instead the Friday night fixture is to be rescheduled for a date yet to be confirmed but is likely to be
the end of next month. Visible uneven areas across the oval due to the recent installation of sub-surface irrigation prompted the cancellation. Both Berri and Loxton, who were to compete in the final, have expressed frustration about the forced decision. ■ Continued Page 29
Renmark Hockey Club appoints high profile coach
BIG MOVE
By GRAHAM CHARLTON THE Renmark Hockey Club has appointed the assistant coach of the senior Australian Country Hockey squad, Berri’s Brett Stokes, to something of a ground breaking position for a club in the region. Not only will Stokes coach the Renmark senior men’s squad but he will also work in a developmental role with coaches through the club’s age groups, including
juniors, so that a succession plan is established. Stokes brings vast experience to the role. As a player he started at eight years of age with Berri and has been with the club ever since then with the exception of a move to Loxton for a few seasons in the late 1980s and early 1990s where he played in an A grade premiership team. ■ Continued Page 30
