Flight training hub

By BRAD PERRY

A REPORT commissioned by the South Australian Local Government Association has suggested the Renmark Airport has the potential to be a base for national and international flight training. Currently the airport is used as a landing area by Flight Training

Adelaide based at Parafield Airport and is also the transport base for two local businesses, the local flying and gliding club and had 379 Royal Flying Doctor Service landings in 2010/11. However the report states that there is increased demand from Asian countries for flight training, where they are unable

to meet their own requirements in terms of volume and quantity of training. Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Tony Siviour confirmed that council is in talks with Regional Development Australia Riverland and Murraylands in regards to exploring the extension of flight training

at the airport. “It is currently used as a flying school but the opportunity that we want to explore is making it the base for a flying school given that the Parafield Airport is quite full now and they are struggling for room,” he said. “We've got the names of about four flying schools, so that is some-

thing that I am interested in and I'm hoping that council will want to pursue that. “In the report it mentions we've probably got the best climate for a flying school, so that's a good opportunity for our airport.” n Continued Page 4

Riverland battles tourism drop

EDITORIAL BY

BRAD PERRY

Airport on the radar AMONGST all the talk of how the Riverland can turn Renmark Airport into a flyin/fly-out option for the mining sector, we almost forgot about its other potential. A study commissoned by the South Australian Local Government Association on regional airports has offered another insight into the future of the facility. It suggests Renmark Airport could become the national and international hub for flight training. Our climate is especially suited and Asian countries are currently running full programs, with many new pilots looking for other places to train. With news that initial costs for upgrading the airstrip for heavier planes was higher than originally thought, it seems the mining fly-in/fly-out workforce is a very long term option. The report reveals there are no regular public transport service providers planning to use the Renmark airport. Why not? It seems a real pity the airport is not being utilised more, despite the frequent landings of the critical Royal Flying Doctor Service. With the Riverland Weekly today reporting a drop in 2010/11 tourism visitors, one must wonder how much those figures would change if the airport was in full swing.

THE MUPPETS

By BRAD PERRY A VOCAL Riverland citrus grower is calling on locals to fill the streets of Renmark with tractors and grape harvesters prior to the Murray Darling Basin draft Plan meeting on March 9. Cooltong's Jack Papageorgiou is hoping growers will rally together to show a sign of strength over the plan, which may see Riverland irrigator entitlements cut. The initial Murray Darling Basin Authority meeting in Renmark to discuss the plan in 2010 attracted a rally involving mostly tractors manned with protest signs. “We want to see as many growers with tractors and planting machinery outside 21st street and Industry road near the Greek Hall,” Mr Papageorgiou said. “It will be a difficult with the schedule of the meeting being 1pm but we are going to try to give everybody an opportunity to participate. “We are going to show them

that we are not just going to walk over and accept a guide plan without recognising the community and the region and the contribution we've been making for 100 years. “I stay within my boundaries, I stay within my allocation and my contribution to the environment has been documented for many years...but I don't want to see the guide plan penalise the very people who have been investing and contributing to the environment and River Murray.” Mr Papageorgiou said the timing of the meeting with the winegrape vintage in full swing and almond picking underway “shows how hard they are thinking about us”. “A lot of the growers feel that the commission has made up its mind and they are only doing this because they have to so they are seen that they are consulting with the community,” he said. To express interest in participating in the rally, contact Jack Papageorgiou on 0428 957 210.

■ RALLY: During the first official Murray Darling Basin Authority visit to Renmark in 2010, local growers held a tractor rally to show the seriousness of the basin plan situation and a local is hoping to repeat the scene on March 9.

Fisherman backs calls for ban on nets LOCAL fisherman John Cockshell believes banning the opera house net and legalising a one net system will self police the local yabby industry. Talk is rife that South Australia will consider following in the footsteps of Victoria and banning the opera house net, commonly used to catch yabbies across the Riverland. Mr Cockshell said the opera house net can be left in the water overnight, prompting theft and the death of yabbies, as he has seen in the past.

“A lot of people put them out there and forget about them or forget where they've put them and things have been left in the net to die,” he said. “I've come across many nets on the waterways that have been there for ages. “The main banning reasons have come from the Greens group and it's to do with water rats and turtles getting into the nets, whereas any other open net they can get out.” Mr Cockshell said if the opera house net was banned in South Australia, most fisherman would turn to the hoop style nets.

“A hoop net, most people are going to stay there and watch it because there is not much sense in leaving it there because it is only going to deteriorate too quickly,” he said. The current bag limits are also being ignored by some fisherman and Mr Cockshell said using the hoop net would help ensure nets are not left out overnight. “For me it wouldn't worry me if people use 10 opera house nets, once they've got their 200 that's it but that's still open for abuse because they go home and dump them off and go back again,” he said.

“It is never going to policed or come to a good conclusion but the hoop nets are more family orientated because you are going to go out and stay there to man the nets and pull them in when your finished and take them. “Whereas the opera house nets get left behind, somebody else comes along and cuts the ropes and steals them or shifts them 10 feet and you can't find them and they get left behind. “It would have that other effect of being more self policing in one sense, the fact people will probably get their 200 and go home.”

$128,000 in flood funding THE Renmark Paringa Council will appoint a co-ordinator within the next four to six weeks to undertake a flood risk assessment plan of the district following a $128,000 funding boost. Announced on Tuesday, the council will share in a pool of $2.85 million in Commonwealth and state funding to improve preparedness for natural disasters, after being successful in round two of the fund. Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Tony Siviour said the money will be spent on employing a co-ordinator, one of the final steps of the planning process before on-ground works funding is required.

REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY “It gives us the opportunity to put on a co-ordinator to basically co-ordinate some flood safe programs and look at getting permits to access the land where flood banks might be on private property,� he said. “Also looking at soil testing for appropriate materials to rehabilitate the levee banks and the production of some high quality flood inundation mapping. “This will basically put us in the position where all the per-

mits and authorisations that we need to have should be done and it’s just a matter of sourcing the funding for the on-ground works.� The application was a three way approach by council, Department for Water and the State Emergency Service. The depleted levee bank situation arose last year, where it was revealed many of the banks in the district would not hold excessive high river levels or flood water. “We’ve had the mitigation study done, we’ve then had the study costed so we know how much the on-ground works are,� Mr Siviour said. “We just need all the per-

mits and we need to update the community also with what we are doing.�

Riverland in line to join obesity program By BRAD PERRY A STATE Government initiative to help battle obesity and a lack of physical activity among school children may begin in the Riverland following a tender process which ended on Monday. Titled Obesity Prevention and Lifestyle (OPAL), the program works with a range of community groups including schools, health services, councils and private businesses to help children and adults to be more active and make healthy eating choices. OPAL state manager Mark Williams said each year councils

are invited to join the program and he said this year interest has been shown from the Riverland. “There were some Riverland councils that were interested and we’ll see whether or not they’ve tendered,� he said. It is understood the Riverland councils have applied to the program, with Loxton Waikerie Council in particular, at a recent meeting recommending to apply and set aside $50,000 for in-kind support. Currently OPAL runs in the Mid Murray Council area after it begun in September. Mid Murray OPAL manager Courtney Blacker said community groups and schools in areas

such as Morgan, Blanchetown and Cadell have responded well to the five year program. Already OPAL has made a difference at events, including the local Australia Day celebrations. “We were talking to them (organisers) about doing not just your bacon and eggs in the morning but also offering some fresh fruit, perhaps some yoghurts, trimming the fat off the bacon and those sorts of things,� Mrs Blacker said. “If parents are there and kids are there and they do want to make a healthy choice, there is actually an opportunity for them to do that.� Mrs Blacker said a similar

program in the Riverland area would have a very positive effect and means the two areas could share resources for projects. “Kids in the Riverland, if it is similar to the Mid Murray space, they are limited by travel and they have to travel so far to get to sport or they have to travel so far to get to fresh fruit and vegetables that are affordable,� she said. “There is a common belief that healthy food can be quite expensive as well and so those families on low incomes, we’re trying to support them to try to look at what healthy choices are available and affordable from local producers.�

Mallee farmers co-op to build new grain handling facility A GROUP of Mallee farmers is aiming to bring extra competition into the grain industry with the establishment of a $6 million storage and handling facility in Tailem Bend to be completed by the end of this year. The decision to construct a farmer owned facility comes after concerns about the way farmers were treated by grain giant Viterra. Eastern Graingrowers is holding a meeting in Tailem Bend on Monday to present a range of options to grain producers and seek directions from growers for the establishment of the facility. The new grain receival facility will be located on Karoonda Road at a former race course purchased by Clandene Pty Ltd, a business headed by Lameroo farmer Kevin O’Driscoll. Eastern Graingrowers Pty Ltd co-ordinator Leighton Huxtable said Monday’s meeting will de-

■Karoonda’s Leighton Huxtable. termine the group’s role in the project. “It’s up to growers now as to how much involvement they want, if any, or it will go down the lines of a private type thing with many corporates who are prepared to invest,� he said. “This meeting will outline the costings, the structures etc. that would enable Eastern Grain to become part of this project and also to set up a marketing co-op as well to market grain on behalf of the people who deliver at that site and who choose to sell to

that co-op. “It’s a real opportunity for organisers to reinvent the wheel and go back to where we were five or six years ago.� Mr Huxtable, who is a farmer at Karoonda, said the grain industry monopoly prompted him to take action. “There’s very few growers around the state who would be happy with performance of Viterra and they are making large profits at the expense of growers at this stage and growers are concerned that is going to continue,� he said. Clandene Pty Ltd director and Lameroo farmer Kevin O’Driscoll said the group is in the final stages of putting together a development application to the Coorong Council for the Tailem Bend site. He said the establishment of the grain facility will mean more options for growers across the

Riverland and Mallee. “At this stage the proposal is to build a grain receival facility with 100,000 tonnes of bunker storage,� he said. “Basically we’ve been unhappy about the performance of Viterra in the past couple of years in terms of grain receival and we think that there is an opportunity to inject some competition into grain receival facilities at Tailem Bend. “There is likely to be a number of benefits, one is it will be a new competitive player in the market place, so hopefully that will lift service levels. “Hopefully it will lead to more competitive pricing, it may open the opportunity to improve returns. “What we are trying to do is to give the opportunity to other growers to invest in the development and they will then own the site.�

Local transport company waits on Renmark contracts as...

Loxton’s new bus fleet arrives By BRAD PERRY A LOCAL transport company has welcomed 10 brand new buses to its fleet after successfully tendering for contracts in Loxton and Glossop. While Riverland based bus company Townsend’s Travel still has an anxious wait to see whether its current contracts in Renmark will be renewed, owner Tony Townsend is remaining confident. There has been widespread

concern over school bus contracts across rural South Australia with a number being tendered to larger interstate companies. “I tendered for the contracts that we operated under their rules and we were lucky enough to win them back,” Mr Townsend said. “I wasn’t made aware there were other operators that competed but how many and who, remains confidential from the government’s point of view. “We have another five that

Meetings to focus on change

Australia currently having two local boards and the national body. “Obviously some groups are very pro and believe that one strong regional representation feeding into a national body is definitely the way to go then on the other hand, the other group really sees that as not in their best interest,” she said. “With the industry plan people are very keen to start to see these changes happening because they do realise the industry is at a big cross road at the moment and we do really need to do something and we need to do it now. “There are some factions that believe they need to have a strong state based body whereas to me, the growers that can really see that the industry is struggling, see that the only way to go is to get more things happening nationally and really have that driving force for Australian citrus. “We collect something like $5 to $6 million across the board and then part of that is matched by the Federal Government, so we could easily be out there investing $10 million in R&D very quickly.” A meeting will be held on Monday at the Renmark Hotel from 7.30am and at the Loxton North Sporting Club from 5pm, while Citrus Australia directors and senior managers will visit the Ramco Football Club for a meeting from 7.30am on Tuesday.

who are travelling to and from school are basically sitting on air-conditioned and seat belted school buses,” he said. “From our point of view it’s a good news story that we’ve finally been able to get all of these new buses in service in and around Loxton and the Glossop area as well. “The bus needed to meet the department’s specifications, which meant it needs to be seat belted, air-conditioned and meet what they call a Euro standard,

a fairly stringent environmental standard.” If the company is unable to retain contracts in Renmark, Mr Townsend said it would “certainly change our business direction”. “We are based here in Renmark as far as administration goes and it would make it awkward from that point of view,” he said. Currently Townsend’s Travel carries an average 1000 kids per day between Loxton, Renmark and Glossop and now has a bus fleet of 28.

Renmark Airport’s big potential ■ From Page 1

■ CHANGE: Citrus Australia will hold meetings in the region next week to discuss the future of the industry.

CITRUS Australia will discuss the need for one peak national industry body when it visits the Riverland next week. With citrus returns hitting rock bottom in South Australia and beyond, Citrus Australia chair Tania Chapman said change is needed. “For the past 12 months we’ve been developing the research and development investment plan for the industry for the next five years,” she said. “What we have identified after going to every region is that growers are saying that we don’t have enough resources at a national level to get the industry back to where the growers need it to be to be sustainable and above all, profitable.” During meetings at Renmark, Loxton and Waikerie, Ms Chapman said discussion will take place about the citrus industry’s future through the National Citrus R&D Plan. She said growers are paying too many levies, which can be cut down under one peak body. “Remembering that Australian citrus is 0.6 of world production, so if we then start to fight about it state based, we’re little peas in a pod,” she said. “So what we really need to do is become a bigger driving force and take Australian citrus as a whole to these other export markets.” Ms Chapman said there has been mixed reaction to the rationalisation of boards, with South

Currently the airport runs at a loss with 60 per cent of income coming from RFDS landing charges. The report also states the airport lighting system may require a major overhaul and says the airport is “currently in very poor condition”. “I think that's an unreasonable comment to say it's in very poor condition,” Mr Siviour said. “It certainly services the aircraft that utilise it at the moment. “The airport lighting, we've done a stage upgrade, part of it was done this year and we'll be looking to allocate more money in our future budget to continue with that.” The airport pavement will require reconstruction and strengthening to accept heavier aircraft and become a fly-in/fly-out op-

tion for the mining boom, the report indicates. “What we are actually doing at the moment is getting quotations to look at bringing the airstrip up to a certain standard and that hasn't gone back to council yet,” Mr Siviour said. “It's considerably more than I thought it would be. “At the moment our airstrip is only engineered to cater for aircraft up to around about 12 passengers. “To make that further investment up to 40 passengers, that would keep us under the threshold that requires airport security but council, I would assume, would have to look for external funding, probably to the RDAF fund for that type of upgrade.” Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said upgrades to the airport are vital if the region is to take ad-

vantage of the mining situation. “We are not going to see a mining industry put planes into the Renmark Airport,” he said. “It's about the viability of a commercial airline to say we can make a dollar out of this and then pursue it. “We're in a different climate now and the region has grown to a point where it has the capacity to provide commercial airlines with good options. “We have to have an airport that is viable to a commercial airline and at the moment I don't believe we do. “I'm seeing three flights go into Olympic Dam everyday and what it would be good to think, is that with the mine expansion we could potentially see at least one flight per day in and out of the region.”

No announcement for SA duck season impacts on Riverland By BRAD PERRY THE uncertainty of when the Riverland duck season will begin may impact on what could be the region's best hunt in more than a decade. A large influx of tourists is expected to flock to the region when the season begins but a date has not yet been set by the State Government. Duck hunter and Renmark based Coles Gun Supplies owner Les Charles said Victoria has already announced the start to its season ahead of South Australia which mean a loss of interstate visitors. “Usually the Victorians head over to South Australia because their season would generally open later than ours, so there is certainly an impact as far as interstate shooters is concerned,” Mr Charles said. “What I hope they don't do, is they don't announce the season on

the date that's been suggested and that's the 18th, that's not enough notice. “I'd prefer it if they made it early in March and that gives the shooters and people such as myself to get what it is we require. “Last year they announced the season two weeks before it opened, which was pretty short notice.” Mr Charles said he is not prepared to outlay large amounts of money to buy duck hunting equipment for his retail store when he is unsure when the season will be announced. Despite the likely delayed start to the season, Mr Charles said the Riverland will see many duck hunters in the region. “Word is that it is going to be one of the best seasons for probably 10 years or more because of the fact the river is as high as it is, the creeks are good, the birds have all bred and in some cases they've even bred a couple of

times,” he said. “So there is a lot of birds around and it looks like being a good season, which could be stuffed up to a degree by the way the government is going on announcing the season.” Mr Charles said the bag limit has also risen to 12 birds per shooter with no restrictions, apart from the birds that are protected.

Tourism statistics reveal drop in visitor numbers but...

A live Murray Cod in a tank will help fix that By BRAD PERRY FIGURES released by Tourism Research Australia have revealed a declining number of visitors to the Riverland but a local tourism body is hoping a Murray Cod will help turn the statistics around. The Federal Government profile revealed overall visitor numbers dropped to 426,000 in 2010/11, down on 2009/10 when 451,000 people stayed in the region. However, Destination Riverland hopes the introduction of a Murray Cod in a fish tank at the SA Caravan and Camping and Outdoor Adventure Show next week will entice more people to head to the region. Destination Riverland chair Joan Hall said reports are that visitor numbers are returning to the region but she believes the Murray Cod experiment will be very beneficial. The fish will be put on display in a tank at a Riverland stand partnering Destination Riverland, Murraylands tourism and the Houseboat Hirers Association. “We want to, obviously, showcase the brilliant Riverland and show how we’re different from every other region in the state and why people should come and see us,� she said. “We are going to show why we are unique and to help do that, we have obtained the services of a murray cod. “We thought it’s a big attraction once they’re at the show to come and see that and see for themselves why we are a bit

I think the majority of the reason for our low numbers would have been the perception the river is under flood.

The flood warnings were one of the factors which deterred visitors from the region last year and Ms Hall said word is spreading that the Riverland is the place to holiday. “We assume that probably one of the factors is the fact

South Australians, in a general sense, are starting to read about and understand that the river is looking fantastic, that the flows are down and there is a general sense of confidence starting to permeate the region,� she said. “From our perspective, we are determined to take advantage of the cautious and growing cofidence and the reports from the trade that things are improving, so we now see our job to match our determination and enthusiasm to see that start to come through in more numbers.� Destination Riverland board members met in Morgan last week with the business and tourism strategy pushing towards the next stage, while the tourism destination action plan is at second draft stage. “The next plan is to have another strategy meeting with our four councils to go through

the plan that we’ve drafted and then put in a bid for their ongoing support for three years,� Ms Hall said. Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone, who addressed the declining tourism numbers in Parliament yesterday, said the flood watch warning must be reviewed following the impact on local tourism. “I think the majority of the reason for our low numbers would have been the perception put out there that the river is under flood, that there is no accessibility to a lot of the favourite areas or destinations along the river,� he said. “While we had a flood watch warning, I think we need to recategorise that and we could give a river update, whether it is a high flow. “We don’t need to be telling everyone we have a flood in the region when we don’t have one.�

River Queen to stay in Waikerie? MURRAY River Queen owner Ian Edwards is hopeful the historic vessel will remain in Waikerie after he put it on the market last week. Despite the boat only being for sale for a short amount of time, Mr Edward said there has been “quite a bit of interest�. “My preference, absolutely, is for (the Murray River Queen) definitely to stay here in Waikerie,� he said. The fact the vessel is unable to cruise due to its inability to meet survey requirements is one of the reasons Mr Edwards is selling the Riverland icon. “When it was taken out of survey that was something we didn’t expect to happen so quickly and so

More confusion over plan THERE is still much confusion about what the proposed Murray Darling Basin Plan will require of irrigators, according to the South Australian Murray Irrigators Group. It was just one of the points raised at an open enquiry held at Mannum last week by the Natural Resources Committee which comprises members from all parties of SA Parliament. “There is confusion around the use of long-term annual averages and what the community knows as entitlement and the ability to compare the two,� SAMI chair Caren Martin said. “The uncertainty around what this plan is actually requiring of irrigators is hard to nail down.�

The Murray River Queen was built on Hindmarsh Island in the 1970s and was being used as a backpackers’ lodge in Goowla when the previous owners purchased it in 2004 and brought it to the Riverland. Media reports in 2009 suggested the boat is worth up to $7 million.

Hairdresser named our top apprentice AROUND 250 people attended last Friday’s 2010/11 Riverland and Mallee Vocational Awards in Berri to see hairdresser Ashlee Glazbrook named as the region’s top apprentice. After claiming the Hairdressing Industry Award, the Renmark resident was named overall Apprentice of the Year ahead of Angove Family Winemaker’s fitter and turner Bryce Eagle. Miss Glazbrook, who completed her apprenticeship at Halmani Hair Salon in Renmark, told the Riverland Weekly she was shocked but delighted to win the award. “I didn’t expect it at all but it is very exciting at the same time,� she said. “You appreciate what you

do a lot more knowing that you’ve been recognised. “It makes you feel good about yourself and the work you do.� Waikerie’s Zoe Dick took home the Trainee of the Year honour for her work at Evella Skin and Body, ahead of Almondco’s Jake Langdon. After winning the South Australian Trainee of the Year in September, Miss Dick said the local honour is humbling. “I will definitely be putting that on my resume,� she said. Miss Dick will complete a Diploma in Beauty in the coming months and is looking forward to a career in the Riverland. Loxton High School student Kyle Pedler and Lam-

HAVING a child is a life changing experience with many challenges and rewards. For Loxton’s Melanie Albrecht, who gave birth to Eliza 19 months ago, it has been one of the biggest joys she could wish for. While it has been a challenge at times for her and husband Jake, Melanie said the highs and lows are all worth it. “They eventually get to a stage where they say 'I love you', it all makes it worthwhile,” she said. Having a child generally means sacrificing lifestyle which for Melanie meant she had to give up playing sport and change her diet. “Your priorities change, work wise, personal life wise,

social life, you've got to factor in someone who's more important than most things,” she said. “You've got to make sure you drink enough water. “You don't always sleep the best and feel the best.” For soon-to-be mothers though, Melanie has several tips to help get you through the tough stages. “Eat and drink and relax as much as you can,” she said. “I made sure I had smaller but more regular meals during the day. “If the baby's gone down to sleep, don't go and clean the house, make sure you have a rest yourself. “Share the responsibilities with your partner.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Young mother help BEING a young mother can be difficult but you will be pleased to know there is help available for anyone struggling to cope with parenthood. Riverland Headspace offers two programs to guide young mums through the challenging times and give them a better understanding of child development. One of the programs is known as Manic Monday which, according to manager Kerril Vowles provides young mothers with quality crèche time with their kids, as well as many other educational values. “The women and the children spend some time in the crèche learning how to play together and singing songs and telling stories, all that really important stuff for child development,” Ms Vowles said. “Then the girls have a session by themselves. “They might have a guest

speaker come in or they might learn about mental health or they might have police come in and talk to them about legal aspects.” The second program offered by Headspace is the training education program. “Through that the program, the girls undertake six modules of certificate three in community services and that gets them back onto a career path,” Ms Vowles said. “That’s about saying ‘you know what? I’m not just being a mum, I’ve got skills that are transferable and I can see myself having a career in the future’.” According to Ms Vowles, the program’s participants form strong friendships with one another as they each understand what the other is going through.

SA biggest loser in basin draft plan? THE Murray Darling Basin Plan should strike fear into the hearts of all South Australians, not just Riverlanders or irrigators, as the economic repercussions will be on a magnitude not seen ever before. Make no mistake, South Australia is and will be the biggest loser if the draft plan is implemented here. Nowhere is recognition given to the investment made by irrigators over many years, nor is South Australia as a state recognised for “playing by the rules” since caps were introduced in 1969. South Australia acted to conserve a healthy river system that could withstand the worst of droughts such as we have just experienced. However, due to others’ willingness to live day by day and flourish in the good times without thinking of the worst case scenario, we have arrived at the position we are in today where not only hard decisions have to be made but also fair ones. As an irrigator today, where is my incentive to invest in not only my property but also my town and community? Without certainty and with the threat of having water removed, only the biggest of gamblers would invest in the future; only to have the investment devalued by rules implemented at my expense even though we as a state have played by the rules forever and a day. Even throughout the last drought the state government refused to alter allocation policy or exceed irrigation limits at the threat of repercussions from other states. If only the powers to be over time had the same foresight, we would not be in the predicament we are in here today, which I as an irrigator have no control over. The repercussion to the whole region/state should not be underestimated. Ask any business owner in the Riverland what the last 10 years have been like and their answer would be unenthusiastic to say the least. Remove one third of the irrigation in this community and ask yourself how much money there will be to flow around. Down stream businesses such as packers, wineries, processors have already diminished to a level where growers’ choices are limited and employment opportunities for our youth are also limited. The lure of the mines is very understandable and nobody can be begrudged the opportunities that these offer - the same opportunities our region once offered many a school leaver. At no time do we not acknowledge change has to be made. A healthy river is essential for those that wish to remain irrigators but will there be enough to support the Riverland as we know it, or indeed the state as we know it? If indeed one third of water is lost from our state, whether by voluntary or compulsory acquisition, it is really irrelevant, as those that remain will carry increased overhead costs that will not make them viable on the world stage. There is another ugly side to this which is rearing its head as well - where will our

food into the future come from? Our state is indeed recognised as a clean, green producer of crops incredibly variable in type. The threat of a downscaling in this region and drought has already forced one major processor to leave this region and the repercussions for local citrus growers this season has been massive, for many it will be the end. What does a message like this send to our leading retailers who purchase all sorts of crops from our region? No wonder they are importing more and more fresh, as well as, processed products, in many cases the health status of which we know little about. The recent Carbendazim scare in orange concentrate is a classic example. Is this what we really want as South Australians? I expect not. We need to recognise that the repercussions are far wider than just losing a bit of water to the state. To put some more numbers in perspective, SA has thus far recovered 101 gigalitre which equates to two thirds of all CIT licenses but if SA has to proportionally contribute to the “second stage” recovery for downstream flows, then SA still stands to lose another 40gl or the same amount of water as is approximately held in the Renmark Irrigation Trust. I ask all South Australians to support all irrigators and the region as a whole and think past your own front door as to how it may affect you. Mark Chown, Citrus Growers of South Australia chairman.

have restored storages to above average levels and bird breeding cycles have returned numbers. The Murray Darling Basin communities have battled drought, with considerable pressure on irrigators’ financial returns and causing the departure of some growers and the creation of some gaps in irrigation areas. The communities have an on-going battle with commodity prices and this has led to more departures, more gaps and more pressure on the service industries and local retail shops. If there is to be more cuts and increased insecurity to the water supply then there will inevitably be more gaps, more service providers and retail businesses under stress, more empty shops, less community support services, less volunteers available for CFS and SES etc. and a decline in public sector services provided for example health, schools and policing. Does this sound like gloom and doom? Unfortunately it could well be our reality. If you think you will be unaffected by any further reductions to the availability of water for irrigators then I encourage you to reconsider your circumstances. If you have been or will be affected by the changes to date and any further changes that are likely under the MDB Plan, I encourage you to attend the MDBA meeting to be held in our region to have your say and show your support for the many people who have been representing you, endeavouring to gain a more secure future for you and your business.

Food security needed

Tony Loffler, Pyap.

IF FOOD security means the ability to purchase Australian grown quality produce at a sustainable price, food which has employed Australians in it production processing and marketing, food which generates income, which supports the Australian community, then the future with the impact of the Murray Darling Basin Authority plan could be quite different. If there is less water available to produce food for Australia and products like citrus, almonds and wine for export, then there will be more imported food and less export income to spend in the community. Hardcore environmentalists claim more water is needed to return the river system to a healthy condition but seem to be shy on being accountable for the volumes of water used and reluctant to investigate engineering possibilities to maximise the effect of the water used. The ideas of “use and reuse” or “pump in and drain out,” and “flow in and pump out” do not rate a mention. Irrigators have to account for all their water consumed using technically advanced application methods and monitoring systems. Yes, we do all need an environmentally healthy river but on whose assessment and numbers? We were told it would take five years of average river system inflows for the storages to return to long term average seasonal levels. We were also told that wildlife, especially bird life, was doomed. Two good inflow seasons

Feathertop threat I NOTED with some interest last week’s article on buffel grass and that the South Australian Murray Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board wanted help in identifying and reporting infestations in the Riverland region. While this is of concern, I feel we already have a grass which, over the past two seasons, has made rapid growth throughout the region and if this continues, will be of major concern to all growers. It is known as feathertop grass and can be seen on the edges of most council roads and highways. This season has seen the the spread of this grass into numerous fruit properties and the need for growers to try and control it. I do not think we can suggest eradication because it will involve numerous expensive sprays and/or extra cultivation which most growers in these current economic times can ill afford. There needs to be immediate action taken by the board and our local councils in taking steps to help growers in controlling feathertop grass on road sides and recognising it as a major weed threat here. There are numerous reports which highlight the concern which some states have and I would recommend an article presented by the Queensland government as an example. Graham Gates, Berri.

SENSITIVE dogs could land in long-term rehabilitation due to thunderstorms, according to the Australian Veterinary Association. Up to 60 per cent of dogs are vulnerable to noise-related phobias, usually brought on by exposure events such as storms or fireworks. Australian Veterinary Association spokesperson Dr Andrew O’Shea warned even one single severe thunderstorm could cause long term damage to your pooch. “The problem is that a traumatic event such as large thunderstorm or a seasonal firework display can cause your pet’s fear response to quickly develop into a phobia and once a dog has a noise-related phobia, it’s extremely difficult, time consuming and expensive to treat,” he said. “Unfortunately, over the years I have treated dogs with noise phobias that were so severe they have run through plate glass windows, broken their legs and ripped off their nails trying to escape a storm. “Dogs with severe pho-

bias start to generalise and then even a darkening sky, a change in the ozone or a drop in air pressure will trigger their fear response.” Treatment of most severe cases involved rewiring dogs’ memory through a process of counter-conditioning, according to Dr O’Shea. “The important thing is to help your dog to cope and not to punish this type of behaviour even if you can’t see any obvious reason for it,” he said. “Some ways that owners can help their pets deal with noise-related problems include providing them with access to a safe haven like a cool dark space during storms and sometimes a wet towel can also help.” Dr O’Shea said common signs of noise related distress include agitation, pupil dilation, increased respiration and shaking and drooling. ■ EYE POPPING: Many dogs cannot stand thunderstorms and could develop a phobia.

Taking your breath away SOME plants simply take your breath away. I don’t mean literally (although I suppose some do if used too generously in cooking). I mean the type where you are around a corner, be it walking, driving, riding or even boating and a single plant or group of plants are just so spectacular that you involuntary take a sharp breath. If you have experienced this, you’ll know what I mean. A few that I can think of would be beech forests in the highlands of Tasmania; endless plains of ephemeral wildflowers in the far north of South Australia; rolling coastal hills covered with banksia in full bloom in south west Western Australia; the beautiful trunks of snow gums, the leaves dripping with ice in the Australian Alps; stark elephantine Western Australian Christmas trees festooned with bright yellow flowers; even our own local blue leaved Murray Valley Mallee on a cold misty night reflecting moonlight or car headlights. However, one plant stands out for me and that is the

Western Australian red flowering gum. It used to be called Eucalyptus ficifolia, however it now goes by the name of Corymbia ficifolia (pictured). All gum trees flower but this one out does all 800 or so species in the way it flowers. The typical tree grows to around 10 metres, many larger and in the Riverland and Mallee, most will be smaller. The leaves are quite thick but not quite leathery and the bark is retained on the tree and is quite fibrous. The flowers in summer are so massed that they can’t be missed. Even if you look away, your eyes will naturally be drawn back for another and longer look while you linger and ponder the wonder of it. On a healthy vigorous plant, the flowers are so thickly borne that the top half of the tree, no leaves are visible. You may ask, if it is so spectacular, why it is not widely planted? In many higher rainfall districts in Australia it is. There are a few draw backs

for use in the Riverland and Mallee. Once these are understood, a sensible choice can be made as to its suitability. The WA flowering gum can be frost tender when young, it needs good drainage, and very limey soils tend to induce yellowing. They tend to be quite slow growing. To top it all off, plants grown from seed can take many years to flower and the flowers can turn out to be red, orange, pink or even white. The ideal place to plant one would be in sandy soil with a bit of frost protection in the first winter and with perhaps something like weekly watering initially then easing to every three or four weeks long term. The good news is that for quite a few years, grafted WA red flowering gum has been available and the tree itself will be around four to six metres high, so far more ‘small garden’ friendly. So for a bit of ‘so spectacular it takes your breath away’ in your very own garden, consider the WA red flowering gum.

The Riverland’s experienced bra consultant and fitter per breast, every two years, as do private health funds, whilst Veterans Affairs are far more generous in their support. Currently each client has to pay for her prosthesis up front, with Medicare putting the rebate into their nominated bank account within 10 days. With access to an excellent range of breast forms for any type of surgery or if one breast is noticeably smaller than the other, Lorraine will fit you out and make you look uniform no matter the problem. Bras and bathers are also available and all have pockets sewn into the garment on both sides, making them useable for anyone, whether wearing a breast form or not. An excellent range of scarves, which can be used as head, or neck scarves for any occasion, are also available via catalogue. To date, Medicare do not pay a rebate for bras and there is no rebate available on a posture bra. Are your bra straps slipping, is your shirt front gaping or is your partial breast form moving? Ask Lorraine about the rollon It-Stays glue which really works. Lorraine is also now specialising in bras for the large and/or big busted ladies, posture bras

LOXTON’S Lorraine Fielke, an experienced breast prosthesis consultant and fitter, now includes posture bras in her range of stock. She also holds current certificates, with appropriate qualifications, for carrying out this very important work for ladies who have had a mastectomy or lumpectomy due to breast cancer. Having had breast cancer herself, and a mastectomy some years ago, Lorraine has taken the cancer journey and so has sympathy and empathy for clients requiring her services. Lorraine originally trained in prosthesis and bra fitting when she was a co-owner of Viviennes Lingerie in Loxton and Renmark. She undertakes refresher courses with the Amoena company who makes and sells the German superior quality breast forms in Australia. Lorraine does not have a shopfront but rather works from her home office in Loxton, which is quiet and ensures privacy for her clients. Lorraine is Medicare approved, has the necessary forms and helps clients fill them in so they receive the rebate they are entitled to. Medicare currently pays up to $400 for a new prosthesis

and also front opening bras, which suit those with shoulder problems causing trouble when trying to do up bras at the back. The bras are comfortable and Lorraine will check that your new bra is correct for you. She is also happy to see elderly ladies in their own home if they cannot travel to Loxton and she offers a free service in bra fitting, so bring all of your current bras with you and she will check they are fitting correctly. The Riverland and Mallee now have the services of a McGrath Foundation breast care nurse in Louise Wegener and Lorraine works closely with her to ensure ladies receive the support needed when necessary. A posture bra, usually suggested by the chiropractor or physiotherapist to correct spinal problems caused by heavy breasts as the bra takes the weight off the spine, gives relief to back, neck and shoulder troubles. It is important to be correctly fitted in a posture bra. Lorraine is currently the only breast prosthesis/posture bra specialist in the Riverland and Mallee and is available by appointment by phoning 0408 858 989 or 8584 7760.

FOR SENIO S A E ID G IN IV L HEALTHY

Lifestyle living at its best THE Waikerie Lifestyle Village is a new and exciting development aiming to change the traditional concept of a lifestyle village. The village creates an inspiring and affordable housing solution for preretirement and retirement living. “We looked at the standard lifestyle village concept and said to ourselves; how can we make this better?” Lifestyle Village owner Ian Edwards said. Ian said the main aim of the Waikerie Lifestyle Village is affordability. “Our first goal was to make it as affordable as possible to get into the Lifestyle Village,” he said. Unlike other lifestyle villages selling homes for in excess of $300,000, the Waikerie Lifestyle Village offers brand new two or three bedroom homes for just $150,000. In addition to great prices, these homes include carports, landscaping, floor coverings and much more. The real advantage for

you is that the homes are ready to move into and start enjoying immediately, without any worry or stress. “The second priority was to ensure that the cost of living in the village was kept to an absolute minimum,” Ian said. “In the village, the only outgoings residents have are the very reasonable site fees and electricity and gas usage.” Lifestyle Village residents do not have to pay council rates, water charges or taxes as they are included in the site fees. The Lifestyle Village is not only affordable but also provides fantastic services and amenities for residents to use and enjoy. “We have a swimming pool and large community entertaining area with barbeques for all residents to use,” Village manager Lynn Gabb said. “We are in the final stages of planning a community vegetable garden and we have a community hall with an alfresco din-

■ SMILES: Waikerie Lifestyle Village owner Ian Edwards (front) with the happy occupants of the village’s first two homes from stage one. ing area, a men’s shed and a playground for the grandkids in the pipeline.” Flexibility is another priority to make your experience and lifestyle stressfree and easy. Unlike other lifestyle villages, the Waikerie Lifestyle Village has no exit fees. As a resident you have the flexibility to sell your home at any stage and retain the proceeds, including all gains. One of the stand out

features of the Waikerie Lifestyle Village is the new range of homes that are on offer. There is a range of two and three bedroom homes with one or two bathrooms, which caters to residents with different needs. In addition to this, the homes have been built with the latest sustainable materials, featuring Supaloc Steel and the new revolution in insulation, Thermaloc®. “Independent studies by the University of South

Australia show that the Thermaloc® insulation system can save you 50 per cent on your average energy bills,” Ian said. “This can be quite a big and important saving for retirees and comes at no extra cost in the Lifestyle Village.“ An additional benefit of Thermaloc® is the exceptional peace and quiet that the insulation provides. This is a result of its superior acoustic performance with a reduction in

not only external noise but also through reduced internal sound reverberation. The Waikerie Lifestyle Village stage one is 90 per cent sold out, with 50 per cent of houses sold for stage two. “We are really happy with the progress of the Village,” Lynn said. “There are three more homes arriving in the near future. “We are receiving large amounts of interest in our development. “We hope to be able to release the third stage, featuring 22 new blocks, within 12 months.” Come and have a look at the future of lifestyle villages at Waikerie and start the next stage of your life now. The new display home is open for inspection seven days a week between 10am and 3pm. You can contact the Waikerie Lifestyle Village on (08) 8541 2651 or by searching Waikerie Lifestyle Village for an inspection.

You’ve retired, now what?

No place like home WITH great weather, friendly people and a relaxing atmosphere, the Riverland is truly a great place to retire. Berri couple Brian and Elaine Schultz, who have spent all but two years of their lives in the region, certainly agree. Having lived in New South Wales town Young for two years, Brian and Elaine both agree there is no better place than the Riverland, especially for those planning to retire. “We have the best weather in Australia, there’s more sunshine than the Sunshine Coast,” Brian laughed. “It’s not far from anywhere, it’s only three hours to Adelaide. “You can cross into the other states very easily.”

■ LOVE: Brian and Elaine Schultz look back at an old photo album, detailing the years they haveCaption. spent together. ■ CAPTION: Photo: CALLUM TRIFONOFF Photo: JANE WILSON

Brian feels the region is a good place to be involved and volunteer as well, as he has spent many years of his life doing. “Both Elaine and I have always been into services,” he said. “I was in rotary for 18 years at Barmera and 18 years at St John at Barmera.” Brian is also the current president of the Berri Senior Citizens Club. He believes over 55s can benefit by being members of the club and meeting new people. “It gives everybody a chance to get out and go somewhere and mix,” he said. “I was secretary for a year and then I was president which I have been since and I love being involved.”

Older generation not afraid of a trip to the gym tended gym courses for the past two years, he said his balance has improved immensely. Mr Kearney added the region is a great place to settle down and retire. “It’s got a magnificent climate, no question about that,” he said. “There’s just lots of facilities here, plenty of relaxation as well.” Yvonne Stuffers said regularly working out at the gym has improved her lifestyle. “I don’t get tired

AGE is certainly no barrier for several citizens of the Riverland who have been finding the time to keep active at local gyms. Berri woman Arunika Hamden believes regular fitness helps to keep retirees healthy. “Once we retire, we’re not as active anymore,” she said. “It gets us out of the house, keeps us moving and just makes us feel good.” Terry Kearney feels the same and having at-

as much as I used to,” she said. “More people should give it a try. “If you don’t your muscles stiffen up as you get older.” She believes the Riverland will be a retiree hub in the future. “We’ve got lots of things here, the river, the fresh fruit, the markets, everything,” she said. Berri based Fit for Life runs weekly classes for over 55s to help them keep fit.

placing,” he said. “I received third in the nationals in 2009 and to know that the cheese and bacon sausage is up there with the best in Australia, it really gives me a fair bit of pride.” Mr Muller said he will keep on entering his famous snags in future sausage competitions. Meanwhile, the response

treat, the cheese and Vegemite sausage has been overwhelming. The success of the unique sausage has been so big that Mr Muller is considering making it an all-year round treat. “It's sold three times more than expected,” he said. “We're making another batch and we are thrilled it's been so popular.”

Bank helps raise fire funds AFTER last month's shocking fire in Glossop which forced business owners Joff and Veronica Linger to close the Glossop Steel Shop, a local Australian and New

Zealand Banking Group branch has jumped to t heir aid. ANZ Berri was shocked to hear the news that the business had burnt

down and that fire had impact on Joff’s retirment plans. A fundraising sausage sizzle will be held by ANZ Berri on March 17.

High Court challenge hollow PREMIER Weatherill’s call for a unified South Australian response to the Basin Plan is meaningless without unity in his own party’s position, according to Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone. Mr Whetstone said the Premier’s threat of a High Court challenge was directly at odds with the position of Federal Labor. “It’s the height of hypocrisy for the Weatherill Labor Government to demand a unified approach in question time today when his own party can’t agree on water reform in the Basin,” he said.

“It’s Federal Labor which has sold South Australia down the river, ignoring the Rann and Weatherill governments and denying our state the recognition it deserves for 40 years of responsible water use. “Labor’s factional disunity is denying our state a strong voice in a debate that will determine SA’s future. “The plan is supported by the Right but not good enough for the Left. “The Premier is too busy scoring cheap political points instead of doing what he should: convincing Prime Minister Gillard and

Water Minister Burke to recognise SA’s unique position. “The State Opposition’s position on the Plan has always been clear: there must be a balanced approach to water reform that achieves the environmental goals of the Plan without compromising food producers and regional communities. “The focus must be on how to obtain the water needed for environmental flows, instead of a magic number that serves only to divide opinion in South Australia and jeopardise the State’s future.”

THE Riverland Weekly is featured in a new book which chronicles the history of SA country newspapers. South Australia Through Our Eyes has been written by Kym Tilbrook to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the formation of Country Press SA Inc. Originally known as the Provincial Press Association of South Australia, it was formed in March, 1912, to protect the interests of country newspapers. Today, Country Press SA Inc. represents 33 papers – 31 in SA and two interstate papers, The Barrier Daily Truth at Broken Hill and the Katherine Times at Katherine in the Northern Territory. The 252-page book, launched by Governor Kevin Scarce at a special lunch on February 24, examines the history of about 150 SA country newspapers, the first being the Port Lincoln Herald and South Australian Commercial Advertiser, published in 1839. It also outlines the workings of Country Press SA Inc. through about 200 extracts taken from more than 2200 pages of minutes. The editor of the Mount Barker Courier, Ian Osterman, examines the future of country newspapers and four

life members, Harry Peake, Denis Hann, Richard Willson and Mary King reflect on their long involvement with country newspapers. In a special message in the book, Premier Jay Weatherill pays tribute to country newspapers. He said the papers have led the way in showcasing the strong community spirit of the men, women and children who live and work in our regional towns and cities. Opposition Leader Isobel Redmond said that in tough times through drought, flood and fire or personal tragedy the local paper unites and supports people. “It gives them their own voice,” she said. Country Press SA Inc. president Trevor Channon, of

The Murray Valley Standard, said the Provincial Press Association of South Australia had been formed by “a group of visionary newspapermen.” “Country newspapers have always been a valued part of the community and editors have always backed their communities to the hilt,” he said. “The papers are the voice of the community.” Mr Channon said country newspapers would continue to move with the times and be at the forefront of emerging technology and social media. Country Press Australia president Michael Ellis, of the Yorke Peninsula Country Times, said Country Press SA Inc. could hold its head high as a vibrant association which was “extremely well-respected across Australia.” Mr Tilbrook said SA country newspapers have a long and rich history and their service and commitment to their local communities could not be questioned.

Langdon sidelined By CALLUM TRIFONOFF BERRI has suffered a blow to its Riverland Football League premiership hopes with utility Jake Langdon ruled out of the upcoming 2012 season after having knee surgery. Langdon injured his knee last month during a social basketball game and was given the bad news that it was a serious injury. “I thought it was all right for a while, for about three weeks,� he said. “The first doctor said it was just a strain and it would be fine. “I eventually went to a specialist and he pretty much took one look at it and did a couple of things

Riverland Turf Cricket Association discusses merger plans By CALLUM TRIFONOFF MERGING B grade cricket teams to boost A grade stocks was just one of the concepts floated at a Riverland Turf Cricket Association last Wednesday. Several ideas were put forward to enhance the future of local cricket currently with just four A grade teams. The responses from local clubs were part of the next stage following surveys which were filled in by local cricketers last year.

Ideas discussed included the possibility of team mergers and the possibility of Renmark District Cricket Association club Renmark North joining the RTCA A grade ranks. RTCA President Dan Shawyer said clubs such as Loxton North, Wunkar, Brown’s Well, Monash and Cobdogla could potentially merge but it would have to be a voluntary exercise. “It’s really up to them,� Mr Shawyer said.

Meanwhile, Loxton is yet to announce a senior coach for the 2012 season but it remains a possibility that stalwart Mark Kershaw could land the job again. There have also been reports linking midfielder Shane McPherson, who has previous coaching experience in Tasmania, to the role. Renmark Olympic is also yet to officially announce a coach but boss of six seasons Nick Sotiroulis is a likely candidate. Barmera United is expected to announce a coach next week with Kevin Barber Snr likely to be given the nod as coach.

the RTCA clubs dropping out of the A grade competition, Mr Shawyer said there is a number of options. “The things we’ll analyse are whether the A grade competition will go back to just a one day competition, so a 40 or 45 over comp,� he said. “That might help create an interest for sides like Monash and Cobby to join. “We also need to look at developing our juniors which probably isn’t quite the breeding ground it needs to be right now.�

RIVERLAND Soccer Association medalist Steve Atkinson has been appointed to Berri as playing coach. Atkinson, who has won four best and fairest awards in the Riverland, joined Berri 10 years ago and has developed a reputation for being one of the finest midfielders in the region. The 28-year-old will take over the reigns from former Renmark Olympic player Nick Spinks who will continue to play at the club, most likely taking over from Atkinson in central midfield. Atkinson is looking forward to the challenge of

coaching an A grade team and letting the younger players take more responsibility on the field. “I want to put some of my knowledge into some of the younger guys coming through and I will do that by dropping back into defence,� he said. “I feel that’s more important to the club than me just running around in the midfield.� Atkinson welcomes back playmaker Dale Harwood, forward Paul Eleftheriadis and young winger Tyson Schrapel to his squad after a year off and also hopes to re-sign Russell Frankel despite interest from Loxton United.

and said it was done.� Langdon, who was voted most valuable player in Berri’s 2010 premiership win, said he will do whatever it takes to complete a successful, quick rehabilitation. “I’m just doing whatever the doctors tell me to,� he said. “All the stretches and the rehabilitation early are pretty important.

■Berri’s Jake Langdon will not play in 2012 due to injury.

“I’m going to make sure I do it properly and don’t do anything stupid on it.� Langdon is hopeful he will be able to commence running again in about six months. Despite the Demons having also lost star winger Chris Scholefield to the South Australian Amateur Football League and forward Anthony Karner to the Mallee, Langdon believes the club will have a strong season. “I’ve been to most of the preseason trainings, just doing my own stuff before I had the surgery,� he said. “The numbers are really good out, we’ve had a few new blokes come to the club which is pretty positive.�

Dann’s Waikerie win

High calibre field for Nippy’s Gift ■THE eleventh annual Nippys Loxton Gift Athletics Carnival will be held on Saturday, February 25 and will again feature athletes of the highest calibre from South Australia and interstate. Run by the professional leg of the SA Australian Athletic League, each year the carnival offers the most prize money in the state after the Adelaide Bay Sheffield. Conducted as a twilight meeting, all races are under handicap conditions, making for exciting finishes and with many events requiring heats and finals there will be up to 50 races on an action packed program. Admission is free and a crowd of 3000 is again expected. Of local interest, relays will again be held for Riverland football and netball clubs. As far as the Men’s Nippy’s Gift is concerned, last year’s winner Jarrod Dartnall is expected to defend his title and the 2011 Outstanding Athlete of the Carnival Sam Osmond is said to be returning. Add a group of athletes from Victoria and 18-year-old Jordan Caldow, who has won the last two Adelaide Bay Sheffields, and there is no doubt Loxton has another race on its hands.

■A BIG crowd, in perfect weather, saw Victorian Mick Dann take out the Jack Daniels Racing SA Street Stock title at Waikerie Sunline Speedways’ opening meeting for the season on Saturday night. Only 10 of the 20 cars that started the race made it to the finish line with defending champion Anthony Beare and Darren Flatman out early in the main race. Struggling duo Barry Sullivan and Anthony Gibbs, other pre-race fancies, not even making it to the title event. For Dann it was his second title in four years as he beat Robbie Faux, Mark Gartner and Steven Gartner to the line. Testimony to the competitiveness of the major event was that there were different winners in all of the nine preliminary heats. The four heats were also shared in a hotly contested junior division but in the end Andy Maxwell won the feature with a flawless drive amongst 13 cars.

Barmera’s home run to finals ■WITH the baseball finals just around the corner Barmera Lakers took the high ground by defeating defending champions Berri Warriors 5-2 in an entertaining game at Glassey Park on Friday night. A miserly performance by star pitcher Tim Golding and some powerhouse hitting by Michael Wade were major factors in the Barmera victory. A three run homer in the third innings by Wade heralded a horror night for the Warriors and he made it tougher with another home run later on. In the other A grade game, Renmark Angels ended Loxton Wildcats’ finals hopes with a 9-2 win at Renmark. Loxton’s key pitcher Steve Dack was unavailable for the game and with players like Nick Carroll, David Grenfell and Ben Harding producing safe hits, Renmark was too steady on the night. In local B grade baseball, premiership favourites Barmera defeated Berri 6-4.

■WINNERS: Jack Daniels Racing SA Street Stock Title podium finishers (from left) Steven Gartner (fourth), Mark Gartner (third), Mick Dann (first) and Robbie Faux (second). Photo: ANTHONY BUCHANAN He was followed home by Jaiden Ruhs and Callum Mackie. In the late models category, quality compensated for a lack of quantity with Dave ‘Snowy’ Hartman having to dig deep to win ahead of Luke Raymond, who set a new race record in a

heat, and Stuart Hill. Iin modified sedans, Tony Schmidt capped off a mixed night, that included both a six lap record and a race ending spin out, with a win in the feature when he finished in front of David Haseldine and Trevor Raams.

Classic vehicles were engaged to present some spirited demonstrations and they certainly did as ‘racers will always be racers’. A broken rear suspension to John Kipling’s car and a snapped rear axle in the David Moore unit told the story.

Surprise results at bowls country carnival ■ADELAIDE turned on some of the best weather conditions for many years when over 2000 bowlers from across rural South Australia lined up in the city for last week’s annual Country Carnival. Riverland players certainly appeared to enjoy the week and there were several surprises amongst those still involved near the business end of the fours, pairs and singles

championships. In the fours, 524 teams started and Waikerie’s Gary Pursche and his team reached the last 32 and Brian Burnett’s reached the final 16. But the best result belonged to the Loxton team of Peter Kimber (skipper), Graeme Huppatz, Mike Nugent and Terry Thurston, who survived into the semi-finals In the pairs, Phil Ashton

(Barmera), Andrew Hill (Berri) and Malcolm Inglis (Renmark RSL) reached the final 16 amongst 1052 teams. Then in the singles, which started with 1012 entries, Inglis again excelled, making it to the semi-finals. Waikerie’s Robert Thompson made the last eight and Dixie Lee, the last 16, while Dennis Treloar (Berri) was in the final 32 and Graeme

King, Cliff Miller (Berri) and Pursche all in the final 64. Actually there was a bit of friendly fire causing some casualties as Inglis halted Thompson’s progress and Lee did the same to King. A number of the players are back in Adelaide this week for the annual metrocountry zone Round Robin tournament.

Hoffmann to show off his talents shooting hoops for Mavericks

■OFFICIALS may have difficulty dragging football’s Golden Whistle winning field umpire Mark Wilksch away from the golf course for the winter as he was registered as achieving a couple of birdies in a competition at the Berri Golf Club last Saturday. He made short work of the first and sixth holes to finish on 37 stableford points in third place behind the winner Rob Day (39) and runner-up Rob Wright (38). Other stableford events during the week went to multi-club champion Brian Martin with 42 points after 72 off the stick, Shane Smith in a Friday twilight competition and Kelvin L’estrange, 41 points. At Waikerie Anne Greenfield with 43 points won from James Thomas (41) and Malcolm Chidlow (39) in division one, while Mark Barrett won division two.

■From Page 28 With the Mavericks, he has played in under 17 and 18 winter teams and this year was hoping to at least make the Under 23s. But it has turned out better than that now as Hoffmann is also in the senior men’s squad. “I will be the youngest in the under 23s by about three years,� Hoffmann said. He is relocating to Prospect where he will attend the Blackfriars private school. “It is nothing like we expected,� Hoffmann said.

“We went there to have a chat about the whole year and ended up with a full scholarship. “They were unreal, I have access to their gym and they have said they are really prepared to help me.� Hoffmann has certainly focused on his pathway to the top. “I had planned to chase an American four year scholarship,� he said. “But the senior coach with the Mavericks, Steve Breheny, has just got involved in the new Australian Basketball Col-

lege in Melbourne and he is happy to try to help me gain entrance there. “So I will probably follow an Australian rather than American pathway.� And if enthusiasm has anything to do with it, outside of exceptional ability, you gain the impression any pathway for this young man will contain some open doors. ■BIG FUTURE: Loxton basketballer Tyson Hoffmann is taking his game to a new level.

The withdrawal of senior teams from Riverland tennis sees officials...

Trial new format ■ DURING a discussion with my tennis ‘ears and eyes’ man Mike Horsman recently, our conversation got around to the unfortunate withdrawal of Berriview from the local division one competition mid way through this season and in particular, yet again, the almost unbelievable reduction in senior teams across the region over the years. But Mike was to serve me a clear ace when he commented that taking into account all of today’s tennis, from ju-

■ FUTURE: Friday night tennis may be the answer to the shortage of local senior teams.

niors to seniors across the Riverland, there were more people playing the game than in the period I was reflecting on, the 1980s. My first thought was that his recent drive to Perth and back had taken its toll but history told me to respect this man’s views. Then why the problem with Saturday afternoon tennis as we have known it, I asked? “The problem is occurring Australia wide,” MIke responded. “But taking in our ju-

niors and social tennis, more people are playing the game today than in those years gone by.” So obviously there is a challenge for administrators to encourage all of these players into competitions. Which takes me to a comment by a non regular player who was filling in for a team during a recent Friday night ‘experimental’ round of matches at Berri. Unfortunately rain interrupted the event but this fellow was surprised at the number of people, includ-

Berri recruit dominates cricket competition ■ BERRI made a good start to the annual Country Cricket Carnival in Adelaide on Monday scoring 221 and 1 for 42 declared to defeat Weetulta outright, 80 and 120. The star for the Riverland side was Peter Sleep, who scored 71

and captured 12 wickets for the game with his leg spinners; 5 for 9 and 7 for 49. Yes, this is the former South Australian player Peter Sleep who played 175 first class matches in a long career, scoring 8201 runs and taking 363

wickets, and represented Australia in 14 Tests for 483 runs and 31 wickets, including a 5 for 72 against England in the 1986-87 Ashes series. Sleep, now aged 55, spent a number of seasons as a professional in league cricket in England and in

more recent times was captain/coach of Yahl in the Mount Gambier competition before joining Tea Tree Gully in the SACA. Tea Tree Gully’s attachment to our region resulted in him being available for Berri on Monday.

Tuesday was another day however and with the former international not in the line-up Berri went down to a very strong composite side Cavaliers. On a bright note I understand Matthew ‘Doc’ Clifford scored his first century as a 40 year old.

Day One ■ AFTER a successful get together at the Adelaide Oval Indoor Centre on Sunday, MDB lined up at Park 25 to play Upper North in the opening game. Overnight rain meant the match was transferred from turf to hard wicket. MDB batted first but at 1 for 0, 2 for 1 and with last year’s star Pinnaroo and Border’s Haydon Thorpe out at 3 for 9, it was a poor start. However successive partnerships between Riverland’s Jake ■ FORM: Loxton pair Jake Albrecht Albrecht, who top scored with and Josh Deren had a great carnival. 68, and Josh Deren (40) and Albrecht and Broken Hill’s Tobias South East at Tea Tree Gully Hack (48), then some late hit- and with a brilliant innings ting by Pinnaroo and Border’s from Haydon Thorpe, who was Kane O`Loughlin , who had caught on the boundary for 95. three sixes in his 27, heralded a Tobias Hack added 54 in fifteen scoring shots and 28 from Josh recovery to 232. In reply, Upper North also Deren and 23 from Cameron lost early wickets but 108 not Hawke (Riverland) saw the out to S. Williams always kept score reach 9 for 272. South East boasts a particuit in the game and at the start of the final over it only required larly powerful batting line-up however and with B. Wilson seven runs for victory.

For MDB Jono Walding (Mid out, it reached the target for the Murray) and Brad Rosenzweig loss of six wickets finishing (Pinnaroo & Border) opened on 274. Rosenzweig captured 2 for the bowling and did well with 2 for 42 and 2 for 43, River- 34, Walding 1 for 40 and Alland’s Shaun Reilly captured brecht 1 for 36 but we are per2 for 28 with his leg spinners haps lacking one bowler to do and Albrecht completed a good a job for us in the middle of the double, even though he did not innings.

Day Two

Hayden Reid. For MDB, captain Jake Albrecht grabbed 2 for 11 and Jono Walding 2 for 78. In reply, Murray Districts Barrier gave it everything with a grand final berth on the line but a sequence of close LBW and run out decisions went against us and we finished our 50 overs at 9 for 204. Rhys Harding top scored with 47, while solid contributions came from Kane O’Loughlin 41, Josh Deren 30, Riverland’s Brad Walter 27 and Cameron Hawke 18 not out. MDB has therefore finished fourth in its pool and will play off for seventh and eighth spot tomorrow at Park 25. Also tomorrow night various award winners and the Team Of The Carnival will be announced.

Day Four ■ OUR boys have not lost their enthusiasm although there are a few injuries, particularly amongst our bowlers. Batting first our consistency, amongst the best I have seen in my 15 years at the carnival, is again obvious with a total of 9 for 274, including 71 from Deren, 59 from Harding, 43 from O’Loughlin and 33 from Albrecht. When Fleurieu Red bat we are short of bowlers but unearth a couple previously untried including Haydon Thorpe who captures 3 for 9 and together with Brad Rosenzweig 2 for 40, Harding 2 for 36 and Albrecht 2 for 31, they do the job with the total 194. Fleurieu Red have been one of the dominant sides in this competition in previous years but this time have not won a game. That night we attend the SACA Presentations to see Yorke Peninsula named as champions after they defeated Fleurieu Gold in the final. Fleurieu Gold’s Dillon

Brown is named Player of the Carnival and won the batting with 198 runs at 49.5, while the bowling went to Luke Strudwick of Eyre peninsula with eleven wickets. For MDB, Josh Deren finished third in the batting with 169 at 42.25 and was named in the Team of the Carnival to play in the Favell Woon match in March. Our best bowlers were the young opening pair Jono Walding and Brad Rosenzweig with six wickets each. This MDB squad may not have contained a lot of big names when it was selected but it showed that with youth, enthusiasm and commitment to the cause it could mix it with the best of them. With consistent displays with the bat via Deren, Thorpe, O’Loughlin, Harding, outstanding wicketkeeper Hack, Albrecht, and Hawke, we scored 982 runs over the four games, far more than Fleurieu Gold, 771, and title winner Yorke Peninsula 767. Our bowling also worked hard and dismissed sides with Walding, Rosenzweig, Harding and Albrecht prominent but in the end we could have done with at least one strike bowler and even another work horse type. Testimony to our team effort with everyone having their moments in the event was Rhys Harding and Jake Albrecht on 184 points, Haydon Thorpe, 181, and Josh Deren, 174, finishing 6th to 9th behind Brown, (83) in the Player of the Carnival voting. The secret in going further next year will be organisers Greg Graetz and Michael Gutsche keeping the basis of this year’s group together and perhaps boosting the bowling department slightly. Nevertheless we were not far away, only 25 runs from the grand final in fact.

ing children and family groups, who had turned out to play, watch or perhaps simply enjoy the barbecue and a few refreshments that were on offer. Long removed from competitive tennis, the not so regular player remarked that he had agreed with some of his mates that if this alternative night time slot was available they would consider comebacks and entering a team. Seems to me there could be a lot of win, win if such a concept could be considered more seriously.

Shooters tested at champs ■ A PLEASING 31 competitors from Adelaide and Riverland clubs produced a keenly contested day of shooting at the Loxton Field and Game Association’s 75 Target Sporting Clays Championship last Saturday. Shooters were tested by a very good combination of targets and a demanding layout of the course but in perfect weather conditions. In several grades only one target separated the placings. Loxton’s Kevin Nickolai shot extremely well for 63/75 to defeat state representative Renmark and Berri’s Rob Shawyer, 62/75, in AA grade, while Colin Nunn (Renmark-Berri) shot the most targets on the day to easily win the A grade with 65/75 ahead of Adelaide’s Allan Marden 62/75. In B Grade, Matt Redway, a junior from Renmark-Berri, posted a 22/25 in the first round and followed with two consistent rounds to finish with 58/75 and just missed out by one target on forcing a shoot off with his clubmate Steve Markham, who won the competition. C grade went to Adelaide visitor Jill Marden who had a very good 22 in her second round to end up with 53/75 to win narrowly from Jeremy Pippos (Loxton) 52/75.

Lake Bonney Yacht Club’s home and away success ■ LAKE Bonney Yacht Club members have been involved in some major competitions both home and away in the last couple of months. The State Championships for Mosquitos was held both at Barmera and at Milang with Peter Dunk and Kirsten Thomas on ‘Natural Progression’ finishing second in Mark 2 Class. The Mosquito Association will complete their Travellers’ Series in Adelaide this weekend. Mosquito catamaran sailors also took part in the national titles in the South East with Steve Thomas and Mark Pfennig contesting the Mark 1 class and the Dunk–Thomas combination in Mark 2, where they managed fourth place. Meanwhile, last Saturday at Lake Bonney ‘Just Do It’ with Steve Thomas, ‘Nebuchardnezza’, Mark Pfennig and ‘Splashes of Brilliance’, Peter Dunk and Kristen Thomas, were mosquito catamarans to fill the placings in the fifth heat of the club championships series. Juniors Timothy and Josh Ridley capsized but managed to get their Holdfast Trainer upright to finish the event. The LBYC will host the Paper Tiger State titles on Saturday and Sunday March 10 and 11, with yachts to enter from other clubs around SA for a five race series. Sail training sessions have also recommenced on Saturday’s from 10am at the club and everyone is welcome. The Ed Farmer Perpetual Trophy race for Pacer class will be held this Saturday.

STORY PAGE 25.

Hoffmann’s shot at big time By GRAHAM CHARLTON PROMISING young Loxton basketballer Tyson Hoffmann has made major development as far as his ambition to follow a pathway from junior to professional ranks is concerned. Last week, Hoffmann learnt that not only had he been named in the under 23 division one team by his Adelaide Hills club Eastern Mavericks but he had also been selected in their senior A grade men’s squad that plays in the ABA. Hoffmann started his career with the Loxton under 12s and has played through the club’s ranks to under 18, reserves and A grade level.

He represented Riverland teams in most of those years and also gained selection in state under 17 and 18 teams, as well as at the Australian under 18 level. It was after his appearance with the state under 17s that Hoffmann was invited to play for Eastern Mavericks. Since then there has been non-stop travel to the city to play and train after his parents agreed that being involved at a higher level would be very beneficial to Hoffmann. “It has been a lot of travelling but it has all been worth it,” he said.
