FOOD BOWL FIRST

By BRAD PERRY

REGULATIONS restricting land division of allotments less than eight hectares in horticultural areas is set in stone after a Riverland aligned approach to development plans was approved.

Despite concerns from residents during public meetings last year,

the three Riverland councils agreed to the land division regulations within the region’s primary production zone.

The development plan reads “it is important for non-agricultural development to recognise and appreciate that the zone is designated for agriculture first and foremost�.

Berri Barmera Council envi-

ronmental services manager Gary Brinkworth said the aligned development plan recognises the importance of the region as a food producer. “Obviously in a state like South Australia, the ability to provide land that is suitable for production of various horticultural purposes is fairly limited, so we do need to

However, he conceded there have been a number of issues raised by community members who have recently exited horticultural properties. “I have spoken to residents that are on allotments and particularly exit blocks that are no longer in

Figures show a significant drop in Riverland citrus growers EDITORIAL BY

BRAD PERRY

Double tourism approach PREVIOUSLY it has been suggested that the future of the Riverland will fall into the category of tourism.

Currently horticulture and agriculture are our most dominant industries and while growers are struggling with commodity prices, we will continue to rely on them for income to keep our towns afloat.

So the somewhat unexpected decision to overturn a motion aimed at dissolving the Riverland Tourism Association on Tuesday night, I think, can only be a good move.

The key to a two pronged tourism attack will be how the RTA works with Destination Riverland.

As long as both are working on different ways to attract tourists, I see no harm in the possible partnership.

One of the most encouraging signs for our growing tourism industry is the interest shown in the RTA’s future.

With up to 40 people in attendance to vote, it shows people are beginning to realise how important tourism is for the area.

We have had the tourism meetings, a board has been formed and now let’s get on with ensuring people know the Riverland is the place to visit.

Where to from here?

NEW figures have revealed that the Riverland citrus industry has lost 27 per cent of its growers since 2008 but despite the downward spiral, many remain resilient.

Citrus Australia this week held meetings across the Riverland to discuss the proposed Research and Development Plan with the peak body admitting the industry is at the cross roads.

Waikerie citrus grower Anthony Fulwood was born into the industry and he has been through both the good and the bad times.

Currently the situation is harsh, with Mr Fulwood unable to cover the cost of production and picking fruit slowly on a week by week basis without knowing whether there are markets for his oranges.

“At this stage, there aren’t markets there, they (packers) don’t have that demand and that’s why everything has come to a grinding halt,” he said.

“You’re in a supply and demand market and for some reason there is not the demand for Australian citrus as there once used to be.

“Hopefully there is some sort of light at the end of the tunnel and things do improve.”

Mr Fulwood said consumers must buy Australian juice rather than cheaper imports for the industry’s situation to improve.

“People that do drink orange juice aren’t looking for 100 per cent fresh Australian juice, they will just buy whatever’s cheapest and unfortunately for us that’s imported concentrate,” he said.

Just released South Austra-

REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY lian Citrus Industry Development Board figures show that local grower numbers have dropped from 557 to 411 since 2008.

The growers with citrus trees less than 10 hectares have suffered the most pain, with 31 per cent of the 146 properties no longer in production, with two per cent from the 10 to 20 hectare range no longer growing citrus.

“To lose more growers, to drop further than 411 we’ve got on our books at the moment, is definitely a concern to us,” SA Citrus Industry Development Board executive officer Andrew Green said.

■ PONDERING: Citrus Growers of South Australia chairman Mark Chown said the high Australian export dollar is hurting grower returns. that was certainly a massive challenge for our industry with the poor exchange rates and problems with our export markets,” he said.

“With our valencias we doubled what we did last year and that has provided a challenge within itself.

At this stage, there aren’t markets there, they (packers) don’t have the demand.

“Interestingly our figures show that while we’ve actually lost growers, the actual hectares has gone up by one percent and the number of trees has actually increased by nine per cent.

“What it’s revealing is that the little guys, in particular, are under enormous stress, they’re the ones that are bailing.”

The sheer volume of oranges being produced in the region is causing major headaches, according to Mr Green.

“We’ve come through one of the biggest navel crops we’ve had for many years, we actually ended up harvesting about 87,000 tonnes of navels and

“The problem is that over the past few years we’ve had processing capacity leave the Riverland and that’s put additional pressure on trying to find a market for the valencias that we’ve got.”

Citrus Growers of South Australia chairman and Cooltong grower Mark Chown said the high Australian dollar is having an impact on returns.

“We’ve got a high Australian dollar which is making us very uncompetitive in our overseas markets and of course, it’s allowing imports of other products even cheaper,” he said.

“For us it is devastating and

THE WEIRD WONDERFUL AND WHACKY Website of the week

www.bellalavender.com.au

there is even talk of the dollar rising higher and that would be very damaging to the industry.

“I think we’ve all got to look at our business and clearly our costs are not going down and at the moment with the high dollar, there is going to be some pain taken.”

Cooltong citrus grower Jack Papageorgiou has walked away from picking the remainder of his valencias but has vowed to continue growing oranges.

“I stopped picking because I was only getting $5 a bin for 420 kilos and after I paid the pickers, transport and industry levies, I was left with $5 to cover all farm costs,” he said.

“Are you prepared to grow citrus without security, without knowing if you are going to recover your costs?”

The large quantity of oranges from recent harvests are being sold cheaply, according to Waikerie grower Peter Walker.

“We are talking about people paying $60 per tonne,” he said.

“I’m worried, even though they are buying the overrun at rock bottom prices.”

Enough is enough

Riverland councils to host joint basin plan meeting

SARC to film documentary at Renmark basin plan meeting to emphasise message

By BRAD PERRY ENOUGH is enough.

That will be the phrase used consistently as part of a documentary to be filmed involving the Riverland’s fight for water security in the Murray Darling Basin Plan.

The Murray Darling Basin Authority will be greeted by a rally of tractors, businesses showing their wares and stark images of the drought ahead of the Basin draft plan consultation meeting in Renmark on March 9.

The way the meeting pans out will be filmed by South Australian River Communities as part of a documentary set to show others the true story of the region’s fight for irrigation rights.

SARC member Chris Bennett said footage, which will include comments from growers and the community, will be sent to politicians, media outlets and a number of key stakeholders.

■ PROTEST: Signs displaying the community’s thoughts on the current draft basin plan will be documented as part of a documentary on March 9.

“This meeting’s not the end “Part of it is about being recof it,” Mr Bennett said. ognised and most of the voters “It’s the final meeting in are in cities, they don’t underterms of consultation within the stand what happens out here in Riverland but there is a period reality in the country, much less between that and when the deci- care, but if we do that (docusion is finally made. mentary) well, we can get across “We want to continue putting the importance of places like pressure on the pollies and one the Riverland, which is a future good way of doing that is access food bowl. to media, so we are looking at “People will really start to doing a documentary that we can appreciate what we are on about send out to the media. and it becomes real to them.”

More than 500 people are expected to attend the meeting from 1pm at the Greek Orthodox Hall in Renmark and Mr Bennett said the Authority will not forget the meeting.

“We’re trying to encourage the individual businesses to be closely involved by putting up small displays of their products and their produce or their services, if they’ve got banners we can hang them both inside and outside the walls of the hall,” he said.

“We’re going to do a display of machinery to show the diversity of the community right through from boats to harvesters, products and truckloads of citrus.

“The mental picture we are trying to give the basin authority people is that we’re a diverse community, we’ve got a lot of businesses that rely on each other, which all rely on the river and we are working together to make sure our message gets

Exceptional circumstances declared over A NUMBER of Riverland growers will no longer be able to rely on the support of the Exceptional Circumstances program from March 31.

The Federal Government has announced it will no longer support the program, which amongst other financial assistance offers interest rate subsidies to irrigators.

Murray and Mallee Local Government Association president Leon Stasinowsky, who lobbied hard for the EC program to continue for an extra 12 months last year, said despite the drought

“The unfortunate thing is that the drought might be over...but the price prices for commodities is the

“As we pointed out, it just profounded with the drought and then on top of it, it hasn’t given anyone any time to recover.”

blocks, bare paddocks and the river not running but that’s not the case now,” he said.

“The only thing you see is financial institutions who are holding loans for people out

there who aren’t getting the return back that they should be.”

State Agriculture Minister Gail Gago said the decision not to extend the EC declaration in the River Murray area, including Waikerie, Renmark, Berri and Loxton, is understandable.

“While farmers, their families and farming-related business are still facing challenges, the end of the drought heralds the promise of average seasons, including a return to 100 per cent allocation for irrigation entitlements for 2011-12,” she said.

THE THREE Riverland councils will hold a joint information session and workshop to discuss strategies to approach the Murray Darling Basin draft plan.

A meeting is likely to take place in Berri at the end of March with the aim for council members to become sufficiently informed of the plan’s implications and to enable a unified and informed submission to be made to the Murray Darling Basin Authority.

Loxton Waikerie Council mayor Leon Stasinowsky said the councils must work together on an approach to the plan.

“It’s so important to get our acts together and work together on this because if not, we’ll just get spat out the end and end up with no say at all,” he said.

Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton agreed.

“If we all come together, we’ve got a chance to discuss what the issues are across a range of topics, not just irrigation but all the other issues as well,” he said.

Tourism association remains

By BRAD PERRY A MOTION to dissolve the Riverland Tourism Association was defeated at a special general meeting on Tuesday night.

The previous Riverland Tourism Association committee stood down and five new members were elected during the meeting which saw up to 40 people attend.

A meeting will now be held next Thursday to elect officers and discuss the way forward for the association.

Outgoing RTA chair Fleur Carthew said there was over-

$1.6 million in Futures funds being assessed REGIONAL Development Australia Murraylands and Riverland and the State Government have been inundated with applications to the State Government’s $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund.

Initially there were concerns raised that there were not enough applications to the fund but with $8.9 million spent to date, more interest has been shown.

PIRSA regions, policy and people executive director Trent Mader said six applications seeking a total of around $1.6 million from the fund are currently being assessed.

Mr Mader said processing applications can take up to eight weeks. “PIRSA aims to process applications within approximately eight weeks, although longer periods may be required when a large number of complex applications are received, or if applications require additional information before they are able to be assessed,� he said.

The State Government has guaranteed the $20 million will be spent within the four year time frame.

Mr Mader also said Riverland councils are eligible to apply to the fund with certain criteria the local government bodies must meet.

Concerns raised over clean up efforts at Berri reserve

Destroying the habitat

By BRAD PERRY CLEAN UP work at Berri's Worman Street Reserve is likely to continue later in the year, despite concerns from locals.

Residents near the heavily vegetated reserve raised concerns late last year about the excessive removal of vegetation, leaving the area open to weed infestation and potentially crime.

However, the Berri Barmera Council, which paused proceedings to assess the community response, will resume work at the reserve to prevent a bushfire hazard.

Resident Lincoln Gore said previous clean up efforts resulted in unintentional damage to local, established vegetation and too much removal has resulted in backyards exposed to “visual inspection from Worman Street�.

In fact, Mr Gore personally wrote and dropped letters to homes on Derrick Street outlining his concerns about clearing methods at the reserve. “Substantial fire prevention work is required but excessive pruning, the disturbance of 'virgin' soil and the ploughing effect of Bobcat use will not give the required balance that our community expects,� he said. “Council has informed me that it will be too expensive to hand pick the timbers on the ground and carry them to a nearby track and that it can only be done by using machinery.�

Areas that have been cleared of vegetation have become home to aggressive weeds, according to Mr Gore.

It was destroying the habitat of the wildlife that lives here and that is quite a lot.

March date for duck season A RESTRICTED duck and quail hunting season will begin on March 3 across the Riverland and South Australia.

The season, which will run from March 3 to June 24, will allow hunters a bag limit of 12 ducks per hunter, per day.

State environment minister Paul Caica said data shows there are sufficient numbers of duck and quail for limited hunting seasons to take place this year.

The quail hunting season opens in the state’s South East on March 3 and closes on July 29.

For the rest of South Australia, the season runs from March 31 to July 29.

The bag limit in all areas is 25 quail per hunter per day. “Restrictions have been placed on the length of the seasons and the number and species of duck and quail that hunters can take in recognition that some populations are rebuilding,’’ Mr Caica said.

mildura wentworth arts festival 2 - 11 March

SATURDAY 3 MARCH ■DEBRIS: Many residents along Worman Street Reserve, such as John Ashworth, are concerned local council clean up efforts are resulting in too much clearance of vegetation at the site. “Between Lean Street and the Kay Avenue round about...is absolutely infested with caltrop,� he said.

John Ashworth, whose property is next to the reserve, said five years of drought took its toll on vegetation in the area but with recent rains, trees and shrubbery have returned to good health.

Mr Ashworth said the decision to “deplete the live vegetation seems ludicrous� after little attention was paid to the reserve during the drought.

Despite a large build up of

dead vegetation in the area, he believes there is no threat of a dangerous fire. “When they (council) started off clearing it, I protested, as did various other people, about the way they were going about doing it and they were just destroying it with regard to tearing all the under cover up and chopping the live trees back,� he said. “It was destroying the habitat of the wildlife that lives here and there is quite a lot.�

While praising council's decision to suspend work in the area

as consultation takes place, Mr Ashworth said a possible fire danger in the reserve is the dumping of vegetation and garden waste.

Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton promised residents that when work resumes at the reserve, it “won't be fully cleared�. “It's just making sure that it's safe and it's not a safety hazard,� he said. “We don't want to be disturbing the environment too much but we want to make sure things are safe at the same time.�

Foodbank receives local financial support

Woolshed Brewery again looks to our local fruits...

Quandongs used in new trial beer

By BRAD PERRY

■ BOOST: Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton and Foodbank SA general manager Leigh Royans in front of the newly installed coolrooms at the Berri based Foodbank branch.

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF ALL THREE Riverland councils have agreed to provide $25,000 of funding for the next five years in support of Foodbank’s establishment in Berri.

Loxton Waikerie Council was the last council to agree to the five-year deal this week, while Berri Barmera and Renmark Paringa councils had previously committed.

Loxton Waikerie chief executive officer Peter Ackland said council requested more information before agreeing to the Foodbank funding proposal.

“They had a presentation at the previous council meeting, so they were aware of the concept and supported the concept of what Foodbank were trying to achieve,” Mr Ackland said.

“What they wanted to understand as a council was would the establishment of Foodbank have a detrimental impact on existing providers such as supermarkets within our district?

“We requested information from them and council was convinced it would be a supporting process for the supermarkets.

Berri Barmera Council executive officer David Beaton said it is nice to have a balance of what council provides funding for.

“We put a lot of money into sporting and cultural events, so it’s important we have a balance and support the community with this as well,” Mr Beaton said.

“It’s excellent to see it progress so quickly.”

Foodbank SA general manager Leigh Royans said it was terrific to have backing from all three councils.

“It’s a great relief,” Mr Royans said.

“We see this as great initiative from the councils.”

Installing coolrooms at the site is one of the major steps before the facility opens.

“The coolrooms are a very important part of infrastructure for any Foodbank but particularly for this region because of the fruit and veg that is locally available,” Mr Royans said.

“This puts us a step closer to all infrastructure which is planned and now running ahead of schedule.”

AFTER the success of Wilkadene based Woolshed Brewery’s first two drops, there is much expectation behind a new, unusual flavour being trialled.

The theme of the beers produced so far has been based on local produce.

The latest potential brew features Riverland quandongs and has already made an impression with those who have been lucky enough to try it.

Brewer Jackson Beavis said while the wheat beer brewed with quandong and honey is just a trial at this stage, the reaction from consumers has been very positive so far.

“It’s just a trial batch at this stage to try and see if it’s feasible to run it through the big brewhouse,” he said.

“I’ve just been brewing these small trial batches in 20 litre batches just to try to get a recipe down, get the flavours right and the balance.”

Mr Beavis said the idea came about after a local resident offered quandongs from his tree and suggested they may go well in a beer.

■ EXPERIMENT: Riverland brewer Jackson Beavis is working on a quandong based wheat beer.

From there Mr Beavis improvised, creating a quandong jam with honey and then brewed the jam with wheat beer.

“We took them and had a bit of a taste and figured they’d go with a wheat beer,” he said.

“Quangdongs are quite a tart fruit and wheat beer is made to be a tart, refreshing, crisp sort of beer.”

knowledged in the Local Taphouse Hottest 100 for 2012, with Amazon Ale ranking 50th and Judas the Dark 68th in Australia.

“To have our beers there with other craft beers that we enjoy and come ahead of other craft beers that we think are really good stuff, it made us feel great,” Mr Beavis said.

The future of the beer remains uncertain at this stage but Mr Beavis is keen to have the drop as part of a summer seasonal range.

“We’ll have to see when quandongs are in season and what sort of quantities we can get to be able to run it through the brewhouse,” he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Impressive new bins at Barmera IT WAS pleasing to see the new green street bins being erected along Barwell Avenue, Barmera last week.

I know they were budgeted for several years ago.

Congratulations to the Berri Barmera Council.

These new bins come with a cigarette ashtray on top and an open hole for rubbish to be deposited without having to lift the lid.

It was also pleasing to notice how much a coat of paint had brightened the front of the bakery.

Again, congratulations.

I pray that this will be inspiration for others to get on board and always look at ways to make our town attractive for visitors, as they are a great part of our asset as they spend time and money in the community.

Frown upon duck hunters THE front page picture of a wildlife killer (Riverland Weekly, Feb 16) – what an article to read about - how people who love to kill are suffering due to the delay of a hunting season.

My heart bleeds not for them but for the poor ducks who do no harm to anyone, they are not predators.

I beg to differ that there are plenty around as there are not.

There used to be dozens of ducks cruising around on Ral Ral Creek and the backwaters and there are very few around these days.

I have one that comes and pecks on my door to be fed, a white one who is an absolute delight.

Maybe this gun-loving person should try making peace, instead of war, on ducks and feed them instead of blasting them out of the air.

It’s high time the Government banned duck shooting in line with the other more

enlightened states.

Guns are only made for killing – if you need to do this, maybe you should join the army.

Family helps out in time of need IT was 38 degrees on the weekend when a group of women, who were staying at a retreat at Glendower House at Renmark, were driving down Sturt Highway on their way for dinner.

As we were driving down the road, suddenly a thunderous noise came from the back of the car.

We stopped to discover we had a flat tyre and pieces of rubber lay scattered down the road.

At least four of us tried to undo the wheel nuts but were unsuccessful.

We attempted to hail down a passing vehicle and several drove by.

Then, yes, someone finally stopped, Chris and Jennifer and their two beautiful children from Glossop.

Chris stayed through the heat and changed the tyre for us.

The spare tyre was a totally different size and had a maximum driving limit of 80 kilomeres per hour.

There was some concern raised by the driver about safety and getting back to Adelaide under these circumstances.

Chris offered to take the damaged tyre and rim back to Glossop and repair it for us.

He went out of his way on Sunday morning, driving around to friends, mates etc. on again, a 38 degree day, to find a tyre that would suit the rim.

Our thanks and gratitude go to Chris and Jennifer for their kindness and country hospitality.

We shudder to think of the consequences without their help.

Glendower House Retreat Participants.

Have your say about the issues that affect you.

Nature is certainly unpredictable NATURE is not a programmable machine like a computer.

We are right to question the credibility of scientists projecting computer modelling from past weather records into forecasts of future weather conditions.

The idea that nature is stable or can be controlled is clearly not true.

Farmers see patterns in seasonal weather conditions but know nature can be very unpredictable.

So when scientists talk about ecosystem sustainability, farmers’ gut feelings are that scientists have lost their objectivity.

Ecosystem sustainability is a belief invented by scientists with computers.

It was said we needed a flood of Biblical proportions to revive the Murray Darling Basin, that it would even take three floods to bring it all back to life...well?

Nature is unpredictable.

One flood did it and the river’s ecosystems will return but differently.

If computer modelling was so reliable we could have expected the extreme weather, that continues to drown parts of the eastern states, to have been forecasted three years ago; when scientists’ computer models were forecasting ongoing drought.

Certainly the Murray Darling Basin rivers have to be managed better from the mouth up.

But the MDBA seems to have a secret agenda to close down South Australia’s food bowl.

They have planned their Renmark meeting in the middle of harvest at huge inconvenience to growers.

So if townsfolk don’t attend in force too, we will all lose.

Riverland’s economy improving JEFF McDonald, managing director of Riverland Lending Services, believes the Riverland’s own “local recession”, between 2006 and 2010, is potentially over, with the region now headed for a much improved economic future.

“With the drought well and truly broken, no water restrictions, a couple of good harvests for the dryland farmers, improved livestock prices, indications of a 20 per cent increase in wine grape prices, an increased demand for housing and financial injections through the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund, we believe there’s plenty to be positive about

for the Riverland economy looking forward,” Mr McDonald said.

Riverland Lending Services is preparing to meet an anticipated period of financial growth in the region and recently appointed Paul Lewis as manager, business lending and equipment finance.

Mr Lewis is a wellknown face in finance, sporting and community service circles throughout the Riverland, joining RLS in January this year after a 40 year career in the banking industry.

This included 13 years based in Loxton, where he specialised in rural, commercial and equipment finance.

“My decision to leave the bank, after such a long period, was not taken lightly and I am extremely grateful for the opportunities afforded me there,” Mr Lewis said.

“However I felt the time was right to move from a huge national organisation and experience life in a dynamic, professional, locally focussed business like Riverland Lending Services.

Mr McDonald said, “Riverland Lending Services believes the Riverland community will benefit through Paul Lewis’ extensive knowledge of local economic conditions and that his tenure will add an extra dimension to the existing RLS services portfolio.”

ate what a wonderful community celebration it was for this town and district.

Initiated through the Berri Library and Information Centre and supported by the Berri Barmera Council, a Centenary Committee of interested Community members began their planning for this event early in 2007.

A research officer was a pointed which resulted in wide community consultation for the materials and information for the book titled Berri – Life in a River Town authored by Rob Linn and launched on February 9, 2011 (100 years after the proclamation of the town of Berri).

Community organisations were invited to register events to celebrate the Centenary.

Over 30 community and service organisations took this opportunity, touching almost every aspect of life in Berri.

The community support for this myriad of events was inspirational, demonstrating and acknowledging the community service and spirit of the people of Berri and district over the 100 years of its existence.

The events and highlights included the return of the Easter Parade with a plethora of floats, the outstanding History Exhibition in Oct ber followed by the ‘Back to Berri’ Dinner and the Mult cultural Festival.

Two of Berri’s founding religious groups, the Church of Christ and the Seventh Day Adventists, also celebrated

their centena ries with special services and reunions.

Schools also celebrated significant milestones.

Berri Primary School (which began in a tent in 1911) must be congratlated on their excellent Centenary Celebrations, while the 75th Anniversary of Our Lady of the River School (1936), the 70th Anniversary of Glossop High School (1941) and 50 years of the Berri Community Pre-school were all acknowledged with reunions, dinners and/or special occasions.

What a year for Berri!

The Berri War Memorial Community Centre supported the publication of two centenary newspapers with snippets of the past and memorabilia.

The book on the history of Berri, together with ther souvenirs of the Berri Centenary, are readily available from the Berri Visitor Centre.

To cater for all these ways of celebrating the Centenary of Berri, that was unique in that events continued throughout the entire centenary year, taking a great deal of effort, planning, organising an contribution by a very large number of community minded people.

So if you participated in any way and supported the events and activities we sincerely thank you for your involvement.

The co-operation and assistance with publicity through the local media outlets via radio, newspapers and television was very much appreciated and

highly valued.

We also thank them for their support.

As Berri and district, together with the Riverland as a whole, face the challenges of the present and the future we hope that we can demonstrate the same sense of community, hard work, enterprise, determination, persistenceand resilience that has characterised our communities in the past.

Margaret Colby, Berri Centenary Committee chairperson

Treat citizens equally LEADING Anglicans, Archbishop Driver and Dr Lynn Arnold agree with me that the Constitution should not provide for laws which discriminate against people on a racial basis.

However, they seek a guarantee that a person cannot be negatively discriminated against for any reason based on race.

Surely that would permit certain positive discrimination.

It then follows automatically that if one race receives favours, the remaining races have suffered negative discrimination.

The Constitution should treat all citizens on an equal footing irrespective of race and the foreshadowed referendum question is unlikely to achieve such equality.

Dance awards Hard working Mallee citizens claim Aussie Day awards

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF

n winner: Bailey Higgs (above), instructor Natalie Clark with Emily Collins (middle) and below, Rhianna McPhee and Breea Martinson, were all recent award winners of the Rosie Clark School of Dance.

BRIAN Byrne has lived in Lameroo for most of his life and been involved in many of the town's community events and volunteer groups.

Therefore, to win the honour of Lameroo Citizen of the Year, announced on Australia is quite rightly a very big honour for Mr Byrne (pictured).

The Byrne family moved to Lameroo in 1898 and his grandfather was responsible for building the town's pug and pine home which Mr Byrne has worked hard to keep in good condition to this day.

“I've been involved in restoring and maintaining that,” he said.

Mr Byrne was also involved in the formation of the Lameroo Museum.

“I've done a fair bit of work collecting old artefacts for the museum,” he said.

Mr Byrne loves volunteering his time around the community.

“In the winter, I clean up around the golf course and keep myself busy,” he said.

Having lived in the town for so long, he has grown to love the Lameroo people.

“We've got everything we need here, good sporting facilities, hospital,” he said.

“There's everything in the town and it's a good place to live.”

Meanwhile, Janet Summer-

ton was awarded Pinnaroo's Citizen of the Year honour and described the feeling as humbling.

Mrs Summerton has been an active member of the Pinnaroo community for the 53 years she has lived in the town.

“It came as a shock for me to be announced because I was just sitting there thinking 'I wonder who will be announced this year,” she said.

Mrs Summerton has been involved in many Pinnaroo organisations including the school welfare club of which she is a life member, the uniting church, hospital auxiliary and heritage centre.

She is also a life member of the Pinnaroo Show Society

Loxton Riding Club’s sixth birthday

FAMILIES SA, Berri, held a very successful Christmas party at Cobdogla in December.

The organisation held the celebration for children across the Riverland who are currently placed in care.

The party saw a great attendance with about 50 children enjoying the chance to get together.

With many businesses helping out for the day, the children were rewarded with goody bags and a barbecue lunch.

There were generous contributions from businesses across the Riverland including from Waikerie, Barmera, Monash, and Berri.

From all reports, those at the Christmas party said it was one of the best they have attended.

Ernst returns to Loveday Camp RECENTLY I had a visit from a man and his two daughters from Tasmania.

They were Ernst Kropf and his daughters Herlene and Annelese.

Ernst is 97 years old and a man who would be one of very few internees from World War II who is still alive and fit as ever for his age.

For the past 15 years or more, Ernst's wish had been to visit Loveday, where he spent a number of years behind barbwire.

Ernst was put under arrest in Sydney and was held there for a few days.

He was then, with others, put on a train not to be told where they were going.

The guards did not treat them well while on the train to Melbourne.

In Melbourne, they were put on another train to South Australia.

They had no idea exactly where to in South Australia.

Ernst said that these guards had an altogether different attitude to these men from Sydney and they talked to them and made jokes.

These men felt as if they were all Australian as most were born here or were naturalised Australians.

The next stop was Tailem Bend and they were told that they were going to an internment camp at a small place called Loveday in the Riverland.

Even some of the guards did not know much about the place.

Travelling through the Mallee country, they thought they must be going to a desert camp.

After going through Renmark, they had seen green vines and trees, a vast difference to the scrub country that they had seen for the past couple of hours.

BY

M MAX SCHOLZ S C Th i t The ttrain stopped amongst some vines and Ernst was told that they would now have to march to their new home.

On their arrival at camp 10, they found that they were with other men of German nationality.

However, these other men were strict Nazi Germans who sang the German national song every morning and evening.

These new arrivals said “yes, we are of German descent but we are not Nazis�.

It was not long before the pressure was put on the new arrivals to join in the singing of the German song.

These men approached the guards, fearing for their lives and not long after were moved to a newly finished camp, known as camp 14A. Several weeks after these men were shifted, the people in camp 10 found that a tunnel was being dug for a mass escape.

Thes men, or new arrivals, that were shifted did not know anything about the tunnel.

Ernst then told me and his daughters something that he never had mentioned until now.

At the morning roll call, he had refused to say ‘present, sir’.

He said, “I am not a German, these people have interned me so why should I say 'present, sir'?�.

This lasted for five days.

Ernst was then arrested and put into solitary confinement for 10 days.

When he came out of jail, he found many more inmates in the compound, about 500 of them.

The day after his return to the compound, he was taken to an office outside of the compound to see the big boss of all the camps, Lt. Col Dean.

Ernst thought that he was in more trouble.

The colonel said, “good morning Ernst, I believe that you have a had a problem here in the camp. “I have decided that I have something for you to do.�

Ernst butted in, “I'm sorry, sir, I am of German descent�. “I am a naturalised Australian. “I am sorry I made a big mistake. “I realise we need discipline otherwise you will not have any control over the number of people here.�

The colonel said, “what I am going to tell you is between you and me�. “In a few weeks, your compound may be going for a day out of compound. “Now, I want you to find men who will appreciate an outing but will not give any trouble or try to escape. “I trust you to choose who you think will be suitable for that day out but do not let on what you are doing. “I will talk to you more in a few weeks when you have had time to select those who can go.�

Some weeks later, after more men had arrived at the compound, Ernst was again taken to see the colonel.

He was told that in four weeks “you will be all down by the river for a day with the people you have

selected to go�.

The colonel added, “Remember, any trouble and there will be no more outings like this�.

The outing went well and Ernst was given that position for any further trips.

He was paid his one shilling (10 cents) per day because he was working for the good of the camp.

Ernst still regrets his actions from the start.

Ernst's two daughters told me after we came back to my place for a cuppa that “Dad had not told them any of that history.�

His daughters thought that

after I was saying things about the camp that I was around the camps when they were in operation, even though I was only in primary school at that stage.

After the family returned to Tasmania, I received copies of Ernst's internment papers, his medical records and his release from internment.

I have photocopied these papers and donated them to the Barmera National Trust on behalf of Ernst and his two daughters.

I have gained more than I have given to these type of visitors to our area.

Love comes first but financial decisions matter

By AMP Financial Planner Danny Kearney* LOVE comes first but couples need to make some important financial decisions before getting married or risk financial headaches once the honeymoon is over, or worse, finding out they’re financially incompatible.

With financial pressures a major contributor to marital issues and divorce, Australians should make sure they understand just what sort of commitment they’re making before they walk down the aisle.

Saying ‘I do’ at the altar could lead to a lot more than gaining a life-long partner and with debt levels across Australia on the rise, people need to make sure vows of love are the only vows they’re taking.

People need to make sure they’re not vowing to take on huge debts, a lack of financial security or any other nasty surprises.

With money ranked high on the list of things that negatively affects relationships, it’s important for people to be aware of their partner’s financial circumstances

before they get married.

To avoid a serious dose of financial upset people should know if their future spouse has any debt, what type it is and how it came about.

Couples should be clear about what guarantees their partner has entered into - are they guarantor on a friend’s car loan or a family member’s overdraft and do they have any additional financial obligations to family or friends?

Both parties need to make sure they have the same value-set about finances, especially when it comes to spending patterns.

There are also some practical things to take care of besides where to go for the honeymoon. Couples planning to marry should draw up a new will and make sure their life insurance reflects their shared objectives.

People should also ensure their new family is protected in case one of them becomes ill or injured and couldn’t work, relieving the financial worry of doing without a normal income while they’re not working.

A discussion about finances and

attitudes to money is understandably not the first thing on people’s mind when a marriage proposal comes their way. Marriage is an emotional time, but these issues are far too important to push aside until after the honeymoon is over. *Danny Kearney is an Authorised Representative of AMP Financial Planning Pty Ltd, ABN 89 051 208 327, AFS Licence No. 232706.

THERE’S MORE TO MONASH

Humid weather prompts residents to check aircons MONASH electrician Lynton Scott has had a very busy summer and it seems requests to keep cool are continuing to flood in.

During the summer season, Mr Scott has been busy fielding queries about the wiring of airconditioners.

“I’ve had about three or four calls a week,” he said.

Mr Scott has been an electrician since 1984 and he said the past 12 months have been some of the busiest to date.

The unseasonal humid weather has prompted many Riverland people to review the state of their airconditioner and ensure it is in top working order.

Sporting injury warning AN increase in sporting injuries has seen business for Monash based Mary Souris Massage Therapist rise.

The business has seen a number of new clients in the summer period with Mary treating many with injuries.

“It’s mainly been word of mouth but we’re getting many and numbers are picking up,” she said.

Mary has lived in Monash all of her life and has worked in the town for about 35 years.

She has grown to love everything about the town and running her own business.

“The local people are very friendly,” she said.

“The schools are quite good here, too.”

Bumper fig s season eason FAVOURABLE weather has been a major contributing factor for Monash fig grower Frank Heward having his best ever season.

Having commenced picking in late January, Mr Heward said the quality has been exceptional.

“It has been the best season ever, it’s been excellent,” he said.

“At this stage we’ve got a new patch down here that we replanted four years ago.

“It’s starting to come into full bearing and starting to crop properly.”

Consistent rain last season effected last year’s efforts but this year is much different, according to Mr Heward.

“The weather’s been very kind to us, that’s helped a great deal,” he said.

Mr Heward said he has also had strong pickers, most of which are overseas backpackers.

“We’ve got four male backpackers picking and six or seven girls in the shed processing,” he said.

The fig season is expected to wrap up around April.

■ HAPPY: Monash fig grower Frank Heward inspects his crop, which he says is one of the best he has ever had.

Australian themed sausage goes global A MONASH butcher has received international interest for an Australian themed sausage.

Originally intended to be just an Australia Day treat, the cheese and Vegemite sausage at Muller’s Meat Store in Monash has become much more.

Backpackers have purchased the iconic sausage and are now telling their friends and families.

“We’ve got Japanese people from overseas who seem to be chasing them,” Owner Daryl Muller said.

“They like Vegemite

and want to try the Vegemite sausages.”

When Daryl came up with the idea of creating the sausage, he had no idea how big of a success it would become.

Having had requests for more to be produced, Mr Muller will now consider making the sausage all year round.

“We thought we’d have to stop making them but it looks like we’re going to have to keep going,” he said.

“We’re making them two or three times a week and making twice as many as before.”

Crash repairer warns drivers to look out for kangaroos KANGAROO related crashes are continuing to be seen in high numbers with a Monash crash repairer urging motorists to watch out for the animal whilst driving.

Monash Crash Repairs owner ‘Zoom’ Rasheed said he has had a number of cars damaged from hitting kangaroos in recent months.

He is encouraging Riverlanders to be careful whenever driving in areas with a high risk such as open roads. ”If there’s a stretch of road with a sign that says kangaroos, slow down and take caution,” he said.

Often more damage is caused by drivers trying to avoid hitting a kangaroo.

“If one shoots out in front of you, don’t try and miss it,” Mr Rasheed said.

if struck, according to Mr Rasheed.

“If there’s an area with wombats, too take care,” he added.

“They can do some damage to your car as well.”

Monash historic facts ■ Monash was proclaimed in 1921 and is named after General Sir John Monash, a World War I army commander.

■ The southern part of the Monash settlement was occupied first and was originally known as Lone Gum.

■ WORK: Jolly Computer Repairs’ Jacob Kenny is developing a course to help senior citizens deal with computer scams.

Scammer threat COMPUTER scammers are a consistent threat to people across the Riverland and Monash computer guru Jacob Kenny said the region continues to be a target.

At least once a fortnight, Mr Kenny who owns Jolly Computer Repairs, receives a call from one of his clients claiming to be on the receiving end of a scammer.

“The first thing you do is ask whether they have an ABN or say ‘I’ve got my technician’,” he said.

“These are the things that make them hang up really quickly.”

Mr Kenny said nine times out of 10, someone calling you about a computer problem will be a scammer.

“The likelihood of someone ring-

ing you up and saying ‘hey, there’s a problem with your computer, I know your problem, I can fix your problem’ is very thin,” he said.

“My customer rang me up yesterday and said ‘someone said I have 60 infections on my computer’.

“They can’t tell that because they can’t directly link you in, you use an IP address which has nothing to do with your phone.”

Mr Kenny is also in the process of designing a course for local senior citizens, who are often the most vulnerable, to help them avoid being scammed.

“It’s more about security, how to identify a safe website from a nonsafe site,” he said.

“Also, what to expect in inscrip-

tion, HTTPS, all the protocols which are there to protect the consumer from attacks.”

It is not just computers where people are being scammed either, Mr Kenny has seen many cases of phone scams.

“Treat you phones with the same respect and protection as you would treat your computer,” he said.

“Put the protection on, don’t leave anything sensitive on it.

“The main thing is have a pin code, have the anti-virus, try and reduce the risk, that’s all we can do.

“We can’t eliminate it (scams) completely because there’s always something out there that’ll stump someone.”

More signage needed for park THE Monash Adventure Park is in need of more out-of-town promotion, according to Monash Club manager Peter ‘Scotty’ Scotford.

Despite the renowned park still keeping its big reputation with a strong number of people still visiting, Mr Scotford believes there are things that can be done better.

“I don’t know if there’s enough signage from some of the major towns,” he said.

“When tourist people come to Monash, the only sign that’s there is on the Sturt Highway.

“The kiosk could certain-

ly do with an upgrade, too, maybe by serving some basic takeaway food.

“It’s something simple and you wouldn’t have to spend a great deal of money.”

Mr Scotford believes the Monash Adventure Park will always make a solid impact in the Riverland.

“I think it’s got a reputation of its own, there are still huge crowds that come from all over,” he said.

“It certainly helps us here at the club as well. ”People visit the park and pop over here, it’s very important for Monash as a town.”

FOR nearly 10 years, Graham Verrall’s face has been the one you are likely to see when you visit the Monash General Store.

Having worked in different environments during his career, it is the relaxed atmosphere in Monash and running his own business that Graham (pictured) loves.

“The best part about it is talking to people,” he said.

“You catch up with people you haven’t seen for a while or you see people who you see often.

“Working for yourself is also a bonus.”

As the local post office is part of the general store, there

is an abundance of people for Graham to meet and greet.

“A lot of people will sometimes come in and get the paper and get their mail at the same time,” he said.

“You get visitors from outside the Riverland who go to the park and they call in.”

One of the main things Graham loves about Monash is how peaceful it can be.

“Sometimes when you get a lot of people here, you say ‘oh, I wish it was quiet’ but there are days when it is quiet which is part of a country town,” he laughed.

“It’s definitely a bonus for Monash though when you get so many people visit.”

LOXTON ANNUAL MARDI GRAS

All the colour of the Mardi Gras THIRTEEN locals have been busy raising money as part of the Loxton Mardi Gras as ambassador entrants for the weekend's event.

Two people are eligible for nomination of Ambassador of the Year, three for Senior Ambassador of the Year and eight for Junior Ambassador of the Year.

Mardi Gras entrants include 2012 quest entrants Lori Noble and Terri Weston, senior ambassador entrants Robyn Size, Deb Ball and Jill Fogden and Loxton Mardi Gras Junior Ambassador entrants, Sophie Johnston, Tameeka Semmler, Thomas Alm, Niesha Hampel, Luke Sharrad, Shaylee Coombe, Jordan Schaefer and Harrison Carney.

Senior ambassador entrant Deb Ball has been fundraising since December for Loxton based Lifestyle Assistance & Accommodation Service and said she gets a thrill out of participating.

Mrs Ball has witnessed the good nature of LAAS herself when she was hospitalised recently.

“With the clients of LAAS, they actually helped me when I had my accident and got me out of depression,” she said.

Loxton Mardi Gras chairperson Peter Magarey has been pleased with the ambassador entrants’ ability to fundraise money for good causes.

“The juniors have done a splendid job this year and raised quite a bit of money,” Mr Magarey said.

“It's a good opportunity for them to build together and work together and particularly for the juniors, as well

as the other ambassadors, to develop their public speaking skills, their public interactions and it's a wonderful educational and training experience for the entrants.”

Mr Magarey said the Mardi Gras theme is Year of the Farmer and he expects a number of floats to take part in the annual street parade.

“The highlights will be the people and the people's involvement, the people's contribution,” he said.

“It's a major community attraction the Loxton Mardi Gras.”

Mr Magarey hopes the theme will attract many farmers.

“It's a good opportunity to attract farmers, cereal farmers and blockies and whoever's associated with agriculture,” he said.

“Really, the whole community is a farming community.”

According to Mr Magarey, highlights for the weekend will include the Nuriootpa Town Band, which will play at its 38th consecutive Mardi Gras, the Unley Concert Band and Riverland Brass Band, as well as the announcement of the Ambassadors of the Year.

The Loxton Mardi Gras will commence on Saturday with food and craft stalls opening at 9am on East Terrace.

Around 70 floats will make their way down East Terrace from 10.45am.

The Mardi Gras ambassadors will be announced at 12.30pm, along with prizes for best floats.

The Mardi Gras celebrations continue on Sunday with a harvest thanksgiving combined church service and a lunch at the Loxton Lutheran School.

■ COLOURFUL: The Loxton Mardi Gras street and float parade is always a colourful and spectacular affair.

NIPPY’S LOXTON GIFT

FEATURE

■ ADRENALINE PUMPING: Last year’s men’s Loxton Gift winner Jarrad Dartnall will return again, amongst a large field of talented competition this weekend.

Talented runners at Loxton Gift

By GRAHAM CHARLTON THIS Saturdays Nippy’s Loxton Gift athletics meeting under lights at the Loxton Oval has been boosted even further by a surge in interest in the sport.

The Athletics League of SA advises that a number of younger people are turning to athletics and Loxton officials have noted an increase in entries this year across the various events, with heats having to be introduced in some

areas for the first first time time.

So more than ever it will be not just about the main gift races in 2012, although the fields in those prestigious events are said to be amongst the most even on record.

In the men’s event Jarrad Dartnall will be back to defend his title, while Sam Osmond, who won the Most Outstanding Athlete of the 2011 meeting and 2010 and 2011 Adelaide Bay Sheffield winner Jordan Caldow

will compete compete.

The race will also have sprinters Robert Keenan and Adam Coote, an AFL boundary umpire from the stable of Victorian veteran athlete and coach Mark Hipworth, who will also be making a start.

Hipworth was at the Loxton meeting in 2010 to compete and obviously liked what he saw and has returned with some of his athletes for Saturday night.

In the women’s gift, three former winners Kathryn Robb, Lucy

Buckley and Brigid Connelly will return, while place getters from the 120 metre race at the Adelaide Bay Sheffield last December, Ali Trewartha and Zoe Steele, will strengthen the field.

Saturday night’s racing starts at 5pm and will continue under lights until 10pm.

Admission to the oval is free.

Of local interest, Loxton High School student Tenille Schammer will run in the under 17, 300

Large crowd to be drawn to event THE Loxton Gift is expected to be the perfect finish to this weekend's annual Mardi Gras celebrations as many spectators are expected to swarm to the Loxton Oval on Saturday.

The gift will commence at 5pm with the anticipated final expected to go ahead around 9.45pm.

The free event will see star male runners Jarrod Dartnall (the reigning gift champion), Damian Tohl and Brad Letton take part while

for the women, Kathryn Robb and Brigid Connelly will be the hardest to beat in their groups.

From 6pm, spectators will be treated to a little athletics display.

Another big part of the night is the Riverland football and netball club relay races which will take place after 8pm.

The relays often attract plenty of number of interest and this year, increased prize money will be offered to the winners.

Hygienic Meats

metre event event, Riverland football and netball clubs will compete in relays and Little Athletics members will also stage events.

Loxton officials have noted an increase in entries this year across events.

ONE of the most anticipated events on the Loxton social calendar will take place next Friday with plenty of fun on offer for the whole family.

The Loxton High School Continental, in its 33rd year, has continued to grow and is now recognised as one of the biggest social outings in the small town.

The annual major fundraiser hosted by the school community will include an extensive range of delicious foods and entertainment, as well as a silent auction and raffle.

Beginning at 5.30pm at the Loxton High School oval, students, teachers and parents will be involved in serving food, hosting entertainment and helping the night run smoothly.

Loxton High School fundraising committee member Karen Milich said support for the event is overwhelming each year.

Even as many Riverland growers and families previ-

ously battled drought, they would still attend and support the local school’s major fundraiser.

With the positive mood in the community at the moment, Mrs Milich hopes for a large attendance this year.

“We are hopeful of getting more than 2000 people there this year,” she said.

“It’s the only fundraiser we do have and it is a major fundraiser, so they do budget for us to make funds from it on the night.

“It is very important and it’s a good community event.”

One of the most enjoyable parts of the event is being able to socialise with local people and enjoy all that is on offer at the Continental, according to Mrs Milich.

“It’s definitely a community thing, you see people there, enjoy a bit of food and it’s a cheap night,” she said.

“Hopefully the weath-

er’s nice.”

While there is an abundance of things for the children to do, the Loxton High School Continental also has plenty for the adults with the wine and cheese bar and silent auction, offering a number of top quality wines.

“The kids can go over to the many rides and attractions and be well supervised.

“It’s a real family event for everyone to enjoy.”

Popular local band CRUNCH LAB will provide the main entertainment on the night, with two high school bands also showing off their talents.

Currently everyone at Loxton High School is preparing for the event, which has taken a number of months to organise.

“It is a big school event in which all the classes and teachers get heavily involved,” Mrs Milich said.

Encouraging the Riverland and beyond to attend the event on March 2, Mrs Milich is looking forward to a successful evening.

“It is great when the event comes together

on the night and seeing the people there to support it,” she said.

You are not required to bring anything but yourself and some money to generously support the Loxton High School.

The set up at the Loxton High School oval will see the entertainment area surrounded by stalls and rides, with the centrally placed tables and chairs in front of the entertainment stage.

“It is really convenient for the family with everything in the one area,” Mrs Milich said.

Entertainment galore at Loxton Continental

■ YUM: Stir fry is just one of the many food options at the Continental.

Delicious food options UNDOUBTEDLY one of the best parts about the Loxton High School Continental is the delectable food.

The options will tantalise your taste buds and certainly leave you satisfied.

Hot foods include stir fry, Chinese, roast, steak sandwiches, chicken burgers, ke-

babs, nachos, hot dogs, yiros and pizza.

Not only will there be a vegetarian option but many people will welcome the return of the popular hot potato.

Beverage options are also just as inviting with milkshakes and soft drink for the

kids and beer and wine from 6pm for the adults.

That is not all, dessert has an endless amount of options including hot donuts and a wide selection of homemade cakes, biscuits, slices and pavlova.

“There will be a variety for everybody,” Mrs Milich said.

■ FUN: Kids will be entertained with a range of fun options at the Loxton Continental.

THE Loxton High School Continental is never short of entertainment and this year is no exception.

Year 11 and 12 students will host a fashion parade, which is often met with great applause by the audience.

Of course there is live music and Riverland band CRUNCH LAB will have the crowd rocking from 8.30pm onwards.

People will also want to get on board the silent auction, with plenty of great deals offered.

There is also the raffle, which Mrs Milch said is worth entering with some great prizes.

“We had great support this year for sponsors for our raffle because that’s money prizes,” she said.

Some of the favourites such as the giant slide and bouncy castle will return this year, while sideshow alley becomes even more spectacular with the dunking machine, temporary tattoos, sing star, fairy world, treasure island and glow bands also available.

Twenty20 glory

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE invitational Twenty20 final will take place tomorrow night after previously being rescheduled in what will be an historic event for local cricket.

Players from Berri and Loxton will take to the field with plenty to play for, hoping to snatch the title.

Riverland Turf Cricket Association president Dan Shawyer said the Riverlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first under lights cricket match should be an entertaining clash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking at the two sides, Loxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batting depth is quite prominent and the same thing for Berri,â&#x20AC;? Shawyer said.

Despite the game being played between two of the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best teams, Mr Shawyer said he would have liked to have seen more interest in the shorter form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The twenty20 format didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really take off this year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The participation level on that was a little bit disappointing.â&#x20AC;?

Shawyer is hoping for a big crowd to come and watch the action in the final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing the final under lights will be a preview as to whether it will be viable to play Twenty20 cricket at night during the season,â&#x20AC;? he said.

There will be several stars on display with Lox-

ton boasting veteran Michael Gutsche, hard hitting Jake Albrecht and the ever reliable Josh Deren, while for Berri Dan Reynolds is the big hitter, Todd Van Dyk provides consistency and Matthew Clifford is in top form.

With the ball Loxton relies on Josh Norman and Kale Smith, while Berri has Chris Hughes and captain Paul Burnett.

Berri will also be hosting pink stumps day for the final, raising money to support breast cancer.

The Milo cricket kids will be playing at 5.30pm, with the senior final beginning at 6.30pm.

Many Riverland youngsters see professional footballers as role models, which suits Van Berlo just fine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you become a professional footballer you become a role model and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to really embrace it as footballers,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Van Berlo said many of the players will be back to the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the boys certainly enjoy getting up here with a bit of water around the place and a few boys go up here skiing and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place to come,â&#x20AC;? he said.

CHARLIEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SPORTS GOSS

The T Riverlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most authoritative sports commentator ...

WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Windsurfers on top of world â&#x2013; SOME time ago this column carried a story on a number of local windsurfers who were producing top ranking performances on a course that had been produced by unusually low water levels at Claytons, via Hindmarsh Island.

Well nature eventually removed the site and our sailors have since had difficulty finding another course that enabled them to produce results that compared with wind surfers interstate and overseas.

That was until Lake George at Beachport in the South East was introduced to them.

Now we have five Riverland enthusiasts as active members of the SA Speed Demons team that heads the Australian rankings in the annual GPS Challenge event with one of them, Barmeraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anthony â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hammaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hamood, reaching number one individually in Australia and incredibly number three in the World at one stage.

The GPS Challenge is an annual event based on average team scores across six disciplines using GPS technology.

There must be a minimum of two members per team and those involved can be from the fun and social sailor to the serious professional.

On each day the two

best scores in each discipline by any of a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members are averaged and that is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score for that category.

The data base calculates a team ranking and allocates a score.

Teams are ranked with best performances receiving lowest scores, with lowest accumulative scores ranking best.

The team with the lowest score across all disciplines over 12 months of the yearly challenge is declared the winner.

The GPS Challenge is huge with over 20 teams in Australia involved, joined by those from other countries including the Netherlands, Italy, Croatia, Sweden, USA, Japan, New Zealand, Germany and Great Britain.

The other Riverland sailors in the 30 or so members of the SA Speed Demons also come from Barmera and are Meta â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chocoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sindos, Kym Manning, Ricky Hamood and Warren Mudge.

Sindos also has been consistently near the top of a world list that ranks about 1000 sailors and in particular, he was recently number 24 in the difficult Alpha Racing 500 metre discipline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all active as much as we can be,â&#x20AC;? Hamood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But there are a lot on our list that do not currently take part.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A group of Adelaide guys like our captain Tim â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kimbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hemer and Carl McDonald and Murray Bridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sam Doecke, are also right up in world rankings and one of our better sailors, Chris Dimond, is coming back in.â&#x20AC;?

Lake George has been a revelation for the SA Speed Demons and was introduced to the group by another key team member Jamie â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jimbobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; McCourt.

He is one of the few Beachport wind surfers still going and being 400 kilometres ahead of most of his team mates, sailed alone most of the time until now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake George is exceptional and with no bank you are not restricted by the angle of the wind and can sail in any direction,â&#x20AC;?

Hamood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it suits all disciplines.â&#x20AC;?

Improved results by the Demons have not gone unnoticed and visitors have flocked to the lake from as far away as Queensland and Western Australia to grab some of the Beachport action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our secret is out but the extra competition is good for us,â&#x20AC;? Hamood said.

The SA Speed Demons made a good start to the season winning the January Cup and now in National February rankings have eight points to head WAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mandurah Mob

â&#x2013; SURF: Barmera windsurfer Anthony Hamood is highly ranked against competitiors from across the world.

on 28, Swan River Mob on 33 and Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moreton Bay Mob on 36.

The Demons led the field in five of the disciplines, two Second Peak, 5 X 10 Second Average, One Hour, Nautical Mile and Distance Travelled and were third behind Tasmania in Alpha Racing 500m.

Individually Hamood has found he has been able to expand on his normal attention to speed events into other disciplines at the versatile Lake George. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the reason I have been able to achieve a number one ranking in Australia and number three in the

world behind two legends of the sport Jacques van der Hout and Hans Kreisel from the Netherlands,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those guys are awesome, so it is great that Lake George is giving me and blokes like Choco, Kimba, Jimbob, Sam and Carl, the chance to be up there with them, as like in several other countries they generally have better winds and conditions than we can find here in Australia.â&#x20AC;?

Hammod is convinced that along with his mates he still has some upside in his individual performances and that the SA Speed Demons also have the enthusiasm and ability to continue to

head the pack.

So we will watch the remainder of the 2012 GPS Challenge with a lot of interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these guys cover up to 200km in a day, in fact Sam Doecke has done 400km,â&#x20AC;? Barmera windsurfer Kym Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it seems more people are becoming interested in learning to wind surf as I have had a few people contact me recently.â&#x20AC;?

If anyone has any enquiries about the sport, contact Manning at the Bonney United Roadhouse in Barmera or phone him on 85882871.

of useful scores in the five game program contributed to his selection.

Meanwhile, Berri will meet Loxton under lights at the Berri Oval on Friday night in the final of the invitational Twenty20 competition.

The home side will make the game another pink stump event with funds via collection tins and a barbecue going to the McGrath Foundation.

â&#x2013; SELECTED: Berriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matthew Clifford was picked in the Country Cricket Carnival Team of the Year.

Finals may save forgettable season â&#x2013; YOU could be forgiven for thinking the 2011-12 Riverland A Grade cricket season has been sponsored

by Claytons.

With so many enforced changes and interruptions to an original five team program, to go with several infringing off field issues, it has been very much â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a season we are having without having a seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

We even found the original final of the inaugural Invitational Twenty20 competition between Berri and Loxton scheduled for under lights at Berri on Friday, January 20 was postponed.

But this change of arrangements was not due to

hot or wet weather conditions or to the shortage of players, we found another way to disrupt best laid plans.

The main Berri Oval was simply unfit for play as the area adjacent to the pitch had not recovered from work done by the Berri Barmera Council prior to Christmas in installing a sub surface irrigation system.

Obviously any piping in the project could not pass across the turf pitch area and considerable work had therefore been required around the centre square that necessitated the excavation of a considerable

amount of soil.

Officials were confident that the areas involved would recover in time for the fixture but this proved to not be the case.

Thankfully the final will now go ahead tomorrow night after the lengthy delays.

Having said all that, I still feel the 2011-12 season could go from Claytons to champagne, uncorked by what looms as a very interesting finals series in both the A and B grade competitions.

The eventual premier in each grade is certainly well and truly hidden at this stage.

â&#x2013; BERRI have finished fourth behind Roxby Downs, Mount Gambier and Barossa and Light at the annual Country Cricket Carnvial in Adelaide last week.

Seventeen teams contested the competition this year.

Berri also gained a representative in the Team of the Year with the selection of former SA Outbacks and current Berri A grade batsman Matthew Clifford.

A century and a number

â&#x2013; I SIMPLY had to share this.

Former Berri and state country pace bowler Hayden Cawse took his children Abbey, 7, and Mitchell, 4, to the

Adelaide Oval for the recent Australia versus India Test Match.

As a member of the Milo Cricket program Abbey was invited to dress up in her pink uniform and

to join a host of other youngsters in some Milo activity out on the main oval during a break in play. As I hear it, on entering the ground a friendly gate attendant asked

young Mitchell, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;who he had come to see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Michael Clarke?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; To which he replied, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who Michael Clarke is, I have come to see Abbeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Kings of the green ■ NORTH Eastern zone, involving bowlers from the Riverland, Mid Murray, Barossa and Broken Hill associations, took out the men’s annual Country Round Robin tournament in Adelaide last week, finishing the seven game series undefeated.

North Eastern Zone started the competition perfectly by defeating one of the title favourites, Yorke Peninsula 103 to 85 and accounted for Eyre Peninsula and drew with another top chance Fleurieu KI on day three.

At the same time other results ■ WINNERS: Riverland and Mid Murray bowlers were between the team’s rivals fell their part of the North Eastern Zone team which won the way and they could not be beaten annual Country Round Robin tournament last week. for the championship going into

the final round last Friday.

When I telephoned the group on Thursday night to check on their position the reply I received told it all, “we are at the wet end of Anzac Highway and having a party”.

Perhaps that had something to do with them struggling on the last day against lowly Upper North and it took a special effort

by Berri’s Mark Kubank with the last bowl of the match to clinch a one shot victory and keep the unbeaten record intact.

Kubank, his Berri team mate Andrew Hill and Waikerie’s Gary Pursche all skippered their rinks to five wins from seven outings during the event.

This was the first win in the prestigious competition for North Eastern Zone since 2007.

Also in Adelaide last week for their Round Robin competition was the North Eastern Women’s team and after a disappointing start they stormed home to finish on four wins and three losses for the competition.

Eyre Peninsula won the title with five victories but were one of the North Eastern victims, losing 72 to 62.

Lyrup’s Sue Lloyd was the leading skipper overall for the event, losing the first day against Yorke Peninsula but winning the next six on end.

Local support helps club get back on its feet ■ FLOOD: The Chinchilla Bowling Club has recovered from flooding thanks to help from Renmark RSL. Photo: FILE

■ REMEMBER the Chinchilla Bowling Club in Queensland that was devastated by the 2010-11 floods and the assistance it received by way of a special fundraising effort by the Renmark RSL Bowling Club that led to a donation of over $4000?

Recently on the 5RM Sports Show, I spoke to one of the Queensland club’s stalwarts Ivan Middleton.

It was pleasing to hear that after club volunteers had put in countless hours working on the clubrooms and greens, things were now in good shape.

Ivan was again full of praise for the effort from the

Renmark RSL that ‘had led the way in offers to help his flood ravaged club’.

The donation, along with others that had followed, is acknowledged in a display in the Chinchilla clubrooms.

Ivan explained that only limited assistance had been available from the State Government but a $50,000 input from a mining type company that operated in the region had been both unexpected and extremely valuable in getting the club operating again so quickly.

Amongst the activities that had in fact improved since the repairs and renovations

had taken place were social and night bowls, according to Ivan.

“The night games, when local firms and organisations play each other, are very popular and draw good crowds,” he added.

I recently telephoned Ivan to find out whether everything he had told me those few weeks ago had been undone by the flooding that has devastated parts of Queensland and NSW. “No, we are high and dry,” he said.

“All of the problems are down stream from us and although we received useful rains, the real heavy

stuff where it poured for a week cut out about 70kms west of us.

“Charley’s creek has been kind to us this time.

“As a matter of fact, this week we will get on both of our greens for the first time this summer so when our old lights are removed we will have everything completed.”

Several members of the Chinchilla Club visited Renmark while travelling in 2011 and Ivan went out of his way to say that this would continue.

Likewise he said any Riverlander would always be welcome at the Chinchilla Club.

Soft injury calls by international tennis players must be reviewed ■ WHICH of our sports keep trainers and medicos the busiest?

Australian Rules Football or rugby?

Well, going by the recent Australian Open tennis, that sport seems to also be right up there.

It seems hardly a match goes by these days that a player does not call for assistance with a pain somewhere or other.

Sure it is a very physical

and demanding sport but one has to wonder how many of these situations are more about players that are falling behind using some obviously lenient laws to break their opponent’s momentum.

How many times does an injury just happen to occur when a player appears really down and out?

One local tennis fan even raised the issue of players ‘tanking’ to throw their opponent off guard and was criti-

cal of France’s Gael Monfils in his loss 6-2, 7-5, 5-7, 1-6, 6-4 to Kazakh’s Mikhail Kukushkin at the Australian Open.

“Monfils started with a back injury and just did not seem to want to be there but all of a sudden appeared to make a miraculous recovery,” the local fan said.

“I reckon it was pretty ordinary and it was justice in the end that he got beaten anyhow.”

Kukushkin’s win made

him the first player ever from Central Asian Kazakhstan to reach the last 16 of a Grand Slam tournament.

Cricket has ruled out a runner for injured batsmen in a controversial move and perhaps it is time tennis officials took a harder line with these offenders who are at least not fooling we ‘armchair’ experts and can surely only be making it harder for those genuinely injured.

Australian Rules Football changes are just part of the modern game ■ IT IS not long now before AFL football fans will no doubt be debating another lot of experimental amendments to the laws of the game by a rules committee that seems to continue to make changes simply for the sake of change.

But is it nothing new.

This type of thing has been frustrating football fans for many a long year.

Look right back to 1897, which was the first year of the Victorian Football League competition after the stronger and wealthier clubs of the

Victorian Football Association, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fitzroy, Geelong, Melbourne, St. Kilda and South Melbourne broke away.

Officials were no longer satisfied that a team with three goals and no behinds could beat another with two goals, 15 behinds.

Behinds had been recorded but not counted as far as a result was concerned and while it was considered that inaccuracy in shooting for goal should not be unduly rewarded, it was also felt

it should not be penalised unduly as well.

So points were in.

There was also the abolition of the ‘little mark’ in an effort to encourage more long kicking and marking.

For the ‘little mark’ a player could tap the ball on his boot then hand it to a team mate who would be paid a mark and obtain a free kick.

The change was welcomed.

Much of the debate in that year however, surrounded the VFL allowing a push in the back.

The VFA retained the free kick rule and was praised for its wisdom.

Critics felt the changes were “in favour of the shirkier man and opposed the pluckier fellow who chose to attack the ball from the front position”.

They were concerned about the player running hard towards the fence and they hoped that wise counsel would prevail.

Obviously it did and we can only trust that when it comes to rules in 2012 some of that attitude prevails.

day the Riverland Champion of Champions Fours were decided over all divisions and there was a boil over in division one with John Morena’s Barmera rink that comprised Alan Ness, Terry Brown and Julie Gartnernow to represent the association in the zone finals.

This was a really top field with other rinks led by Loxton’s Peter Kimber, Berri’s Mark Kubank, Waikerie’s Gary Pursche, Renmark RSL’s Ray Sutton and Renmark’s Eddie Schulz.

The Morena four defeated the Sutton and Pavia groups on the way to winning the final against Schulz.

The bookies would have cleaned up on this one.

Dalzell, Shannon take honours at Riverland Bridge Club competition ■ BEV Dalzell and Helen Shannon took out the Riverland Bridge Club’s weekly competition at the Loxton Club last Thursday, finishing ahead of Peter Moller and Sue Britton, Frances Malor and Grace Altschwager and Norma Gibson and Jean De Caux.

The club meets every Thursday at 1pm and provides a comfortable venue for Riverland players to enjoy a game.

Also for anyone interested in learning or improving their knowledge of the game, free lessons are conducted on the first Thursday of every month at the Loxton Club between 1.30 and 2.30pm.

If there is sufficient interest, further lessons may become available on Sundays.

For further information, telephone Peter on 85847735.

Albanese tops shooters at Barmera ■ FRANK Albanese had a good day at the Barmera Gun Club last Sunday grabbing the High Gun honours with a score of 123/125 after taking out the OA/AA grade with 59/60.

He finished ahead of Des Mills with 58/60 in the 50 Target Double Barrel shoot, finishing runner-up to Mills (74/75) with 73/75 in the 30 Target Medley AA grade, and winning the A grade in the 25 Target Skeet with 25/25.

Other winners in the 50 Target Double Barrel event were John Byrnes in A grade, Colin Jacobs in B grade and Ivan Maywald in C grade.

In the 30 Target Medley, Robby Robertston in OA/B grade won with 50/50, Byrnes was victorious in the A grade and Jim Vithoulkas finished first in C grade.

Trevor Shaddock won the B grade in the 25 Target Skeet and Peter Brister produced the goods in the C grade.

Top sailing conditions at Lake Bonney ■ THERE was non stop action in the EB Farmer Perpetual Trophy event for Pacer yachts at Lake Bonney on Saturday, with three back-to-back short races involved in the competition.

Pacers are designed for short course racing, being ideal performance yachts in good conditions, as they are a light weight monohull with high planning speed.

Wind conditions at

the lake on Saturday were light with the club’s fleet of seven pacers taking part.

In the end, John Eshman’s pacer 5 won the EB Farmer trophy for 2012, finishing ahead of Kirsten Thomas with Pacer 6 and Steve Thomas and Josh Ridley with Pacer 2.

Sail training is on at 10am this Saturday, followed by a Handicap A event.

Kearney shows top form on course ■ BERRI Golf Club member Terry Kearney is perhaps showing some benefits of his time in the gymnasium with some excellent performances on the golf course.

Last Wednesday he won a stableford with 34 points over 18 holes and in a similar event over nine holes in a Friday night competition, made it a double with victory on a count back from

Richard Keightley, both one over the card with 24 points.

On Saturday it was Keightley’s turn in another stableford when he gained 42 points, four in front of runner up, Rob Day. Meanwhile, at Waikerie a Saturday event went to Shane Quinn with 78/64 in division one and Bill Lane, 94/73, in division two.

competition have future problems.

The loss of Cadell will be a sad situation as the club commenced in 1922-23 and was dominant in the competition up until World War II and also enjoyed considerable success during the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

The club returned to the MMA in 2002/03 after a 10 year recess.

In the finals against Waikerie Gold this Saturday, it is hoped that the present day players can rise to the occasion.
