fruit fly watch Tri-State Fruit Fly Committee calls for more fines rather than warnings for offenders

By BRAD PERRY THE Tri-State Fruit Fly Committee is calling on the State Government to consider prosecuting more offend-

ers rather than handing out warnings as drivers continue to flout fruit fly regulations. With thousands of tourists expected to flock to the Riverland over Easter, Tri-

State Fruit Fly committee chair Andrew Green said more must be done to get the message across. The calls follow a horror Adelaide Cup long weekend

where more than 180 kilograms of fruit was seized at the PIRSA controlled Blanchetown random roadblock. “Tri-State has been calling on PIRSA to do more ran-

dom roadblocks and making sure people that are caught are actually prosecuted,” Mr Green said. “I understand that quite a few get warnings, perhaps

There’s nowhere else I’d rather be NEWS that about 50 per cent of our campsites will not be available at Easter certainly should not deter tourists from visiting the region. With reports of strong accommodation bookings across the Riverland tourism industry, it appears we are in for a bumper Easter. When it comes to entertaining at Easter, the Riverland seems to be where my family and friends like to visit. I don’t blame them either? Not only is there the river to cool off when tempratures reach mid 30 degrees on Good Friday but there is a whole range of activities to do and things to see. My family continually tells me the hospitality at the Easter breakfasts is second to none and I have too found myself chugging along on the locomotive train at the Cobdogla Irrigation and Steam Museum. With so much good food and wine, I will find it hard to resist and there is nothing like picking up fresh produce at markets across the Riverland. Of course there will be the sneaky chocolate egg (as I am attempting to get fit for football season) and a friendly chat with local businesses. For me Easter is about the hospitable people of the Riverland and a chance for me to be a tourist in the place I live.

Additional campsites opened By BRAD PERRY ADDITIONAL campsites have been made available across the region to accommodate the large numbers of tourists heading to the Riverland over Easter. River Murray flows have cut access to around 50 per cent of campsites across the region. Department of Environment and Natural Resources district ranger Phil Strachan said no camping can take place at Eckert’s Creek, most of Moorook will be inaccessible over Easter and about half of the regular campsites will be available at Chowilla. Loch Luna and sections of Katarapko still have a number of camp sites available, according to Mr Strachan. In addition, DENR has opened up additional campsites in Lyrup and Katarapko to ac-

THE WEIRD WONDERFUL AND WHACKY

THE South Australian Parliament has united behind the State Government’s position on the draft Murray Darling Basin Plan and agreed that South Australia should demand that more water be returned to the River Murray than what is provided in the draft plan. Premier Jay Weatherill today moved a motion that the Parliament agreeing that South Australia’s submission should advocate for: - recognition of South Australian irrigators’ efficient use of water and responsible management of the river compared to the upstream states; - more water to be returned to the system than currently proposed so that it can be returned to an ap-

avoid driving tracks if wet and slowdown when wildlife is on tracks. “Easter is the busiest time of the year and it’s always nicer when people do the right thing,” he said. “At the end of the day the fire ban is still in place over Riverland parks, so the fire ban is in place until April 15 so there is no wood fires in the river parks.” Meanwhile, the Department for Water is expecting river flows to remain below 65,000 megalitres per day. At the predicted level of flow, the Department of Water said inundation above normal pool level is expected to be minor and will only affect low lying shack areas downstream of Cadell, excluding River Murray towns.

will help get the plan that we need to restore the river to health. “Therefore I am pleased that the House unanimously supported the Government’s position. “For some time I have been concerned at comments from the Opposition suggesting that we should put up the white flag and simply accept what was on offer. “The science shows that what was on offer – an extra 2750 gigalitres was not enough. “I am pleased that all members of the Opposition have now come together with the Government to take a strong stance to fight for justice for South Australia and the river.”

Thursdayy April p 5, 2012 – Riverland Weeklyy • 3 ■ GOT IT: Police diver Sergeant Kevin Doecke inspects the wedding ring after it was found on Tuesday.

The ring that almost got away REPORT BY R

C CALLUM TTRIFONOFF IT IS every woman’s nightmare that something might go catastrophically wrong on their wedding day and that is exactly what happened to Tori Brown. During her wedding last month to husband Saxon at his parents’ house on the River Murray, the unthinkable happened. While an exchange of Tori’s wedding ring was taking place during the ceremony, it was accidentally dropped onto the deck above the water and unluckily fell into the reaches of the mighty Murray. After three weeks of panic and stress, the South Australian Police diving team, which was training in the region, was called to see if it could find the important piece of jewellery. After no luck on Sunday, the team tried searching for the ring again on Tuesday with Adelaide based sergeant Kevin Doecke locating it after just over an hour and a half in the water. Tori said she and Saxon will be forever thankful to the diving team.

“When I found out I had got it back, I was blown away, I was so excited,” she said. “I didn’t expect them to find it. “I wasn’t getting my hopes up.” Sgt Doecke said finding of the ring was very satisfying for the team. “We’d been training here anyway so it’s good that our training’s has a purpose and people here have got a happy outcome in a situation that could’ve been a bad memory for them,” he said. “There was a big crack in the mud with a lot of debris. “We were just scooping handfuls of debris out of there into a catch bag which I then brought to the surface. “The second time we did that, we found the ring.” Diving supervisor brevet sergeant Bob Brownridge said locating an item the team is searching for is satisfying. “It’s a great reward for us if we can find what we’re looking for, especially something as difficult as this in the conditions we’ve got,” he said. The search for the ring gained Australia wide media attention on local news programs.

Parliament hears of Alfred’s heroic act

Mallee farmers hit hard as stock and on-farm theft increases

By BRAD PERRY A BID to recognise a Riverland hero via a bravery award almost 85 years after a life saving act has gained momentum. Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone used his grievance time in Parliament yesterday to share the story of Alfred Harding. Mr Whetstone spoke about two family’s quests to have a selfless act of heroism recognised. Alfred moved from his family home in New South Wales in the 1920s and found himself living with the Westley family and working on the construction of Lock 6, upstream from Renmark. The well liked young man had taken the Westley children for a swim in the river in 1927 when one of the boys named Arthur, and known as Jim, found himself in trouble and called for help. Alfred managed to swim out and save Jim, sacrificing his life in the process. “Alfred was hailed as a hero by the community but the 21-year-old received no official recognition for his act of bravery,” Mr Whetstone said. “Alfred Harding’s sacrifice was recently brought to light thanks to the efforts of his brother, Harold Lyell, and Harold’s family. “Alfred’s grave at the Renmark Cemetery now has a headstone commemorating ‘an heroic act finally recognised’. “I commend the family in this House for their efforts. “I also commend the Riverland Weekly newspaper for a sensitive and poignant story about Alfred Harding published on the March 15. “I am moved by how two families can come together after more than 80 years thanks to a heritage shared by a single act of bravery.” The families of both Jim and Alfred will gather at Alfred’s newly marked grave in Renmark on Good Friday for an informal memorial service at 11.30am.

■ THEFT: Livestock in the Mallee continues to be a target for thieves.

$814,000 in losses ON-FARM theft in the Mallee is a serious issue with one farmer warning landowners to lock sheds and watch fuel supplies. As Family First MLC Robert Brokenshire calls for an extension of Operation Poach beyond June 30 this year, Lameroo farmer Gary Flohr said it is not only livestock being stolen. “Over the past four or five years there really hasn’t been a lot of stuff go missing in the area and it all just seems to be happening at the moment,” Mr Flohr said. “People should be aware of locking their sheds and locking

Government and police must extend Operation Poach for at least another two years. “Given the anecdotal evidence to us when we were lobbying for this for several years and now confirmation by police that there are some serious stock thefts, I’m calling on for the government and police to continue this operation for at least two more years,” he said. “I encourage farmers to continue to report all stock theft as that helps the police with their work and also helps to argue the case for a dedicated policing focus on stock theft.” ■ PEST: There have been Mediterranean fruit fly outbreaks in South Australia over the past 12 months.

price of stock at the moment is enticing thieves to snoop around farms. “It’s all got to do with the price of stock at the moment,” he said. “The operation brings it to the fore and makes people a little bit more alert.” The Mallee is one of the hardest hit areas of stock theft, according to Mr Brokenshire. “That was one of the regions that we were getting anecdotal evidence that there were stock thefts occurring and on the increase,” he said.

Students spread Easter message ABOUT 45 students from three Catholic schools across the region hand delivered miniature hot cross buns to local businesses and residents on Tuesday as a reminder about the real meaning of Easter. Students from St Joseph’s Barmera, Our Lady of the River Berri and St Albert’s Loxton interacted with the public, passing on the Easter message. Riverland Catholic Schools pastoral support worker Gail Page said the exercise was a great way for the children to celebrate Easter.

“It’s to promote the real meaning of Easter because everyone obviously gets caught up with Easter bunny and that sort of thing, so we thought there is some hot cross muffins with the cross on it and hopefully people will realise Easter is about the death and resurrection,” she said. “It’s good for the children to get down the street and talk to different people in the community and for the community to realise that the kids enjoy doing this sort of things and that’s what Catholic schools are all about.”

“Certainly the message would get through pretty quickly. “At the end of the day, a quarantine zone is a quarantine zone and the signs are there. “Six or seven signs that clearly state don’t bring produce into the Riverland.” Mr Green said Easter can be a dangerous time for visitors bringing fruit into the region. “We are expecting more tourists and more people travelling into the Riverland over Easter... so definitely we are hoping to significantly reduce the number that don’t do the right thing,” he said. “In fact our preference is noone brings fruit in unless they’ve got a receipt to prove that it’s been purchased in the correct manner.

“If they want access to produce, we’ve got plenty in the Riverland and it’s fresh and it’s local and they don’t need to bring the product in.” After tireless advertising campaigns, signage, media coverage and quarantine bins available before heading into the region, Mr Green said he does not understand how people can still bring illegal fruit into the region. He said it appears the only way to protect the state’s $600 million horticultural industry is to increase the number of fines handed out to people caught doing the wrong thing. “My understanding is that in some cases people were carrying a single piece of fruit but it doesn’t matter, a single piece, half a piece, don’t bring it,” he said.

Rural Financial Counselling ready to help after EC funding ends WITH Exceptional Circumstances funding ending in the Riverland on the weekend, local rural financial counsellors are expecting more growers and farmers to contemplate their future. The funding, which among other forms of support offered interest rate subsidies to irrigators during the drought, ended on Saturday. Rural Financial Counselling Service SA general manager Kay Matthias said while it is too early to tell what impact

the withdrawal of funding will have on the region, she believes many growers will reassess their long term outlook. “What we think we

in industry.” Ms Matthias said there is a transitional income support allowance available until June 30 but after that she expects to field many enquiries. “With the river returning to a healthy condition, I think that’s certainly taken a significant amount of pressure off, that’s the reality but we will see some that have been so effected by the drought and the conditions that they will be thinking about exiting the industry,” she said.

Vintage celebration to show calibre of alternative winegrape varieties

Wine writer’s visit By BRAD PERRY AUSTRALIAN wine journalist Max Allen will head to the region this month as part of a celebratory vintage event and will be given the opportunity to sample the region’s growing alternative wines. The event, to be held a Loxton North property, is expected to give the Riverland wine region’s reputation a boost. Organiser, Riverland Alternative Wine Group chairman Ashley Ratcliff said having a prestigious guest writer will be of great benefit to the region. “He’s coming up with the view of doing something in the Weekend Australian or The Gourmet Traveller,” Mr Ratcliff said.

“There’s no question, having exposure in some of the national magazines continues to build on the interest in the Riverland. “The Riverland has been associated with wine at a lower price point and at a popular premium but what we are saying through the Riverland Alternative Wine Group and events like this, is that those wines are really important to the industry but the Riverland can actually produce some high end quality wines and they’ve got some value to them, they are high priced.” Mr Ratcliff said this vintage many growers embraced alternative varieties across the region and he said the Wine Australia event is an opportunity to

The end of vintage celebration will be held on April 27, for more information contact Ashley on 0411 370 057.

POPULAR Riverland tourist attraction Berri Direct is already under contract just weeks after the Berri Barmera Council put it up for sale. Riverland Real Estate, which is the agent selling the property, currently has it listed as under contract. The Berri Barmera Council decided to put the tourist location on the market because council could not afford to run a commercial business. The building was originally gifted to National Foods

when it left Berri. Council put Berri Direct on the real estate market and said its doors would close by April 30 if no buyer was found. Berri District Business Association president Barry Phillips said the Sturt Highway attraction is vital to the region. “It’s situated where, over the years, it has had a lot of through traffic,” he said. “Hopefully someone will come along and take on board that premises.”

THE Riverland was blanketed by an unusual darkness on Monday night when lightning struck a key power source, leaving more than 10,000 homes and businesses without power. From Blanchetown to Paringa, residents were forced to go by candlelight in complete darkness from 6.15pm to just before 8pm.

ElectraNet executive manager of corporate services Vicki Brown said an investigation is currently being conducted into the cause of the widespread blackout. “It’s an unfortunate incident,” she said. “At this stage we believe it was caused by lightning and there was a lot of lightning hits on our lines.

“It actually disconnected the power supply to the Riverland region and normally if it was just a minor hit or if there was no further damage to the line, the line just automatically recloses as they call it, so the power then is energised. “That didn’t happen.” The lightning struck near the north west bend

sub station between Robertstown and Monash and ETSA crews were quick to respond. “(The Riverland) lost 50 megawatts of load, which is quite significant,” Ms Brown said. “We were pretty happy it was really only an hour and three quarters (without power).”

Individual recognition lost in Anzac Day football medals

By BRAD PERRY

them of the events that have taken place, it will be very hard for them. “I just hope this problem can be solved logically and the spirit of Anzac can be continued through the person’s name.” Mr Saint said changes to the individual naming of the Anzac Day Medal should have been put to public consultation. “I challenge the six members of the RFL commission to let me know on what basis they made their decision, why it was made and if that is because they feel it shouldn’t have a single name to it, what about the other trophies that are given out in football?” he said. Chas Gardner, who was heavily involved in the Riverland Veterans’ Centre, deserves to continue to be recognised for his efforts via the medal, according to Mr Saint. “I think it’s only fair they should know and cherish the legacy this gentleman has left the Riverland,” he said. However, RFL chairman Neil Martinson said the Anzac Day Medal

THE Riverland Football League Anzac Day Medals will no longer be named after one particular veteran when presented at this year’s round one clash, in a move described as being against the Australian spirit. Since 2008, the RFL Anzac Day Medal has been named after Chas Gardner and the Independent award has recognised the efforts of Norm Kassulke. The names chosen to be recognised in association with the medals were selected by Riverland Veterans’ Centre’s Glen Saint. He said the decision by the RFL was unexpected and caught him by surprise. “It’s almost alien of the Australia culture,” he said. “I don’t want the job of having to contact the families and tell

should recognise all of those who fought for their country, not just one individual. “The RFL fully supports the Anzac Day Medal and that’s why we have the replay of the previous year’s grand final that day because we recognise the importance of it,” he said. “What the RFL don’t support is naming the medal after a particular person or a particular family. “We believe it should be called, and the AFL calls it, the Anzac Day Medal and it represents all of the returned services and all of the people that were killed in the respective wars. “I’m not derogatory of the family and the name it has been under in the past but we just believe it is more appropriate that it should recognise all of the soldiers who fought and or died in those respective wars. “I would need a lot of convincing to say why we should be recognising one particular family, one particular name, in recognition of the medal itself when it should be for everybody.”

Soft heart for koalas IN just over 11 years, Renmark’s Jack and Vicki Gibb have rescued more than 80 koalas. The Gibb family has been involved with rescuing the furry animal in the Riverland since 1982, often housing them for days on end before releasing them onto Causeway Island, near Paringa. In recent months Mr Gibb said he has rescued a number of koalas, many agonisingly close to death on roads. One of the most recent finds was a koala clinging to the Paringa Bridge being narrowly missed by trucks and cars. While Mr Gibb has rescued a large number of koalas, he has also buried up to 25. He is hoping more warning to motorists about koalas

frequenting areas in Renmark and Paringa will see the number of deaths drop. “They’ll sit in the middle of the road, they’ve got no road sense at all,” he said.

They’ll h sit in the middle of the road, they’ve got no road sense at all.

One koala was hit by several cars and performed a miracle to survive, according to Mr Gibb.

“A lady rang me up and said ‘we were walking at 6am and we heard this thud’ and it was between the last two bridges on the approach to the Paringa Bridge,” Mr Gibb said. “We got it off the road and I went out there at about 8.20am with a body bag to pick it up and I noticed it moved about eight feet and it was in a comatose position. “I brought it home and it was still bleeding, so I put it in a recovery position and kept it warm.” Mr Gibb said after taking the animal to the local vet it made a full recovery in what could almost be classed as a miracle. A passion for helping koalas keeps Mr Gibb and his wife Vicki involved.

Paramedic students gaining experience in region By CALLUM TRIFONOFF FOUR Flinders University students from the Riverland and Adelaide are gaining valuable skills and experience in their quest to become paramedics. Nicole Osborn, Caitlyn McDonald, Amanda Pelli and Chantelle Norman are currently taking part in the regional paramedic program at the Flinders University Rural Clinical School. After applying last year, the students are currently on a 12-month placement

at various ambulance stations in the Riverland. Flinders University Rural Clinic School program administrative officer Marijana Levak said the initiative, which began in Adelaide in 2008, is a great way for the students, some of whom are from the city, to get exposure on the regional paramedic scene. “It’s very different to metropolitan places,” Ms Levak said. “The students are very fortunate in the sense that they can get one-on-one with the paramedics and

go through scenarios on stations when they’re not going out on call.” Ms Levak said local ambulance stations are benefiting from the program. “For the stations, they get an experience to have younger people in their team and training within so they can refresh on their own,” she said. Ms Levak said the students benefit from the program on a social level as well, getting to meet and interact with many new people across the region.

THE first stage of the Morgan Riverfront Precinct redevelopment project has almost been completed with the installation of new playground equipment. The themed recreational pieces capturing the history and culture of Morgan were successfully purchased after the MidMurray council obtained funding. Mid Murray Council Mayor Dave Burgess said the playground would be a boost for both tourists and locals alike. “The completed playground will attract families from far and wide with the creative and unique concepts set out and provide an excellent recreation venue for young families in Morgan,” he said. The last train to arrive in Morgan and carved stepping blocks from storm-damaged trees are two features of the playground. Mid Murray Council Tourism Project Manager Deb Alexander said once the playground is completed it will be the initial stage of a redevelopment, which could take up to 20 years to complete. “The full redevelopment is subject to grant funding,” she said. “Hopefully we will be able to achieve some smaller sections of the redevelopment over the next five years.” Mrs Alexander said the completed redevelopment would complement other local attractions and businesses in the town. “It will provide areas where families can have a picnic or go under one of the shelters to have a gathering,” she said. “It will allow them to enjoy the ambience and the natural beauty of the Morgan Riverfront Precinct which is quite unique along the Murray River.”

Nathan’s big wish THIS Easter will be more than special for one young Berri resident. Nathan, who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, has been granted a wish by the Riverland branch of the Make-A-Wish Foundation to travel to the Gold Coast on Easter Saturday. He has always wanted to go on a rollercoaster ride and thanks to local volunteers and businesses, his dream will come true. Make-A-Wish Foundation president Dallas Zeliff said being able to grant nine-year-old Nathan a wish is a verybeneficial experience.

“Just being a wish granter is something really special,� he said. “The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants kids with life threatening medical conditions their cherished wish. “When we interviewed Nathan, he is a very simple young man who just wanted either a helicopter ride or a rollercoaster ride. “When we told him we were going to grant his wish, we took him to the Field Days site last year and gave him a helicopter ride, presented him with a big wish cake, balloons and he was interviewed on radio.�

Now this Saturday, Nathan, along with his mother and grandmother, will fly to the Gold Coast and head to the theme parks for a ride on Australia’s biggest rollercoaster. Nathan’s mother Jessica Lindsay said the support has been wonderful for her son. “He’s over the moon about getting his wish granted to go to the Gold Coast,� she said. BankSA Berri branch staff were able to raise funds to purchase a digital camera package from Berri Retravision to present to Nathan during a presentation at the branch on Tuesday.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fruit fly response I WISH to correct the advice provided by one of your correspondents (Fruit fly signage upgrade needed, March 22) who appeared to be suggesting that it was not an offence to take certain fruit material (fruit fly host material) into the Blanchetown area because it is not in the Riverland. The quarantine area for the exclusion of fruit flies from the Riverland includes the Hundred of Skurray as a quarantine area. Blanchetown and the road leading into Blanchetown for a length of some 15 kilometres are within the Hundred of Skurray and therefore are clearly within the quarantine zone. Hence it is an offence to introduce host fruits into the Blanchetown area without an itemised retail purchase docket. More information is available on the information for traveller’s page at: http://www.pir. sa.gov.au/planthealth Geoff Raven, Manager Plant and Food Standards Biosecurity SA.

Water for Everyone IT WAS with consternation that I read the article ‘State suspends water trading’ in The Advertiser on 24/3/2012. The reason given for suspension is to protect our allocation for the next season. This sort of fiasco did not exist prior to the drought. Have the Eastern states become addicted to our money? The current rules must be explained and changed if water allocations can be manipulated. Minister Tony Burke said at the Renmark meeting that improper use of environmental carryover could result in reduced al-

locations. What would businesses with large water allocations do if they can manipulate trade and carryover to make a profit? All this is occurring in a state framework where SA Water has precedence over irrigator’s allocations. This used to be stated explicitly on the old Water for Good website. It could not be found in the latest version. The following statement outlines the process that the state government will use if restrictions are necessary: ‘The SA Government allocates available water according to a decision-making framework that was adopted after considerable consultation in mid 2010. The framework assesses the amount of water available, the purpose it will be put to and the benefits that occur as a result of its allocation.’ Notice the justification statement “after considerable consultation�. How many irrigators were consulted? Combine the above statement with the facts that Adelaide Metro water take from the Murray will remain constant to 2050 and that the Adelaide Hill reservoirs will contribute approximately 25 gigalitres less over the same timeframe because of climate change. What will happen to irrigators’ allocations? No projections were found of future irrigation allocations. We need transparency and clarity from our politicians both federal and state. We also need Opposition policies. For me the answer is simply equal allocations for all, the scrapping of carryover entirely and giving the environment whatever is required.

Preserving our history I, ON behalf of the Barmera Branch of the National Trust of South Australia would like to pass on our sincere thanks to all who replied to our request for any information on the Loveday Internment Camps. The response has been just overwhelming. We have received photos, documents and personal true life happenings during all those war years. This is now really adding to our very large collection of history from the camps. One letter is from the wife of a soldier who was in Camp 10 at the time of the attempted tunnel escape. I have his photocopy and discharge papers as well as a photo of him in his army uniform. His wife told me, in the letter, that he only passed away three years ago. I have also received a photocopy of the first medical officer who was at the Loveday camps. He was with the army ambulance that was used to transfer patients from the camp hospital to the Barmera hospital. The more serious cases were transferred to Adelaide. At War’s end, this man was offered a permanent position at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. I also have photocopies of photos from his time in Loveday. He remained at the RAH until his retirement. These are the pieces of history that have been hidden in peoples’ homes since the late 1940s. It has also been a pleasure to meet up with five of the children that I played with at our home in Loveday. Like me, they are now all well over 70-years-old. We still have been promised more memorabilia and documents as some of the contacts

rang to see what we need or are looking for. Due to a big storm a few months ago the roof was torn off of our museum. Thankfully no damage was done to any of our large collection of history of the area. The members are now very busy building a replica hut form the camp days. When finished, it will give us a much greater display area at the Cobdogla Irrigation & Steam Museum site. We at the National Trust value all history that is put in our care. All donations are documented and receipts issued. This is a guarantee that it will not be stored in a shed in someone’s backyard and never seen again. If you would like to donate to the National Trust any items, photos or memorabilia, contact any member of the Barmera branch of the National Trust. We are in need of members who are interested in local history as members of our group are all getting older. We need to preserve what we have and gather more to make our display just that little better. You can become a member and/or a volunteer. We are a happy bunch who get on well together and work together as a team. We are all individuals, we all have our own pet subject but we all work together for the good of preserving our history for future generations to see. The Cobdogla Steam Friends Society and Barmera branch of the National Trust all work out at the old Cobdogla pumping station. We have been going for about 50 years and yes, we are here for the long haul to preserve our history. Max Scholz, Barmera.

Wetland off-limits due to waterbird breeding

T

HE Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has closed a large section of Wachtels lagoon, part of the Moorook Game Reserve to the public, to protect the breeding cycle of waterbird colonies. According to DENR district ranger Phil Strachan, high river flows during 2010/11 has resulted in significant waterbird breeding events on Wachtels Lagoon. “Black Cormorants and Australian Ibis, both colonial nesting birds, established large rookeries in the lagoon,� Mr Strachan said. “The Australian Ibis colony is one of the largest in the Riverland and there are also other birds of conservation significance nesting in the lagoon.� Mr Strachan said associated with the high river, was an increase in human activity

at most accessible wetlands, including Wachtels lagoon. “In late 2010, a section of the lagoon was closed to minimise the disturbance to breeding waterbirds,� he said. “Signs have been erected throughout the reserve and at nearby boat ramps, and also along the closed area, advising the public of the exclusion zone for conservation purposes. “It is an offence under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to enter an exclusion zone, and carries a fine of $160. “With the expected additional high flows in the River Murray during autumn 2012, these significant bird breeding events are expected to continue.� For further information, contact DENR office in Berri on 85952111.

Harvest fun By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THERE was not a spare chair in sight at the Riverland Harvest Festival with a strong community showing at Loxton North Primary School on Friday. The event raised over $9000 with the the Great Stomp proving to be as com-

petitive as ever. Loxton North Primary School principal Shane Semmler said the support for the event has been overwhelming. “The community, as well as the businesses in Loxton and in the Riverland that support us, are just fantastic,� Mr

Semmler said. “We had 12 junior teams, 30 senior teams, plus we had a couple of novelty stomps in The Great Stomp as well. “We don't have the exact figures of how many people came through but we think the numbers were up, particularly early.�

Big crowd at farm fair

A CROWD of up to 10,500 people from around South Australia attended the Karoonda Farm Fair on the weekend. With over 300 stalls and plenty of entertainment and catering, organisers were very happy with numbers through the gates. Karoonda Farm Fair manager Ray Bald said the main highlight was the appearance of Adelaide television and radio personality Andrew 'Cosi' Costello who was filming his television series South Aussie with Cosi at the event. A healthy influx of tourists attended the event, most of them coming from within 100 kilometres of Karoonda, according to Mr Bald. Many local businesses also benefited from the attendance at the two day event. Mr Bald said planning for next year’s even will begin shortly. “The format will stay the same, the attractions will change and there will be different things that we do,� he said.

Foodbank set to commence trading By JUSTIN EVERS AFTER nearly two years of consultation, fundraising and building, Foodbank SA is almost ready to begin trading at its new regional food centre in Berri. Following an Open Day and information session held for churches and welfare groups last Friday, the centre will commence operations next Wednesday. The open day explained how the new food-relief centre would operate and how welfare groups and churches can become members of the Foodbank, thereby allowing them to access food supplies to help support their community outreach programs.

Foodbank SA special projects general manager Leigh Royans said the day was in itself a reason for great celebration to acknowledge the support from various levels. “It will help build greater capacity for local welfare programs, by stretching their limited welfare budgets further,� he said.

“It is important to note that the new centre is only available for accredited welfare groups and that the general public could not attend the Foodbank to access food supplies.� The centre currently employs one person and is looking to employ two full-time people by 2014.

WITH the Riverland and Mallee embracing digital television, many households are experiencing poor or faulty reception for a number of reasons. Talking in Tune’s Greg Andriske can advise and assist you to solve any problems regarding digital television signal. Through his patient approach, Greg has already assisted hundreds of locals with digital television and recording devices, even providing written instructions to ensure you will understand. Digital television is very different to analogue and you need a technician who knows what they are doing to help solve any problems. With many years of experience in customer service and with relevant digital television courses completed, Greg has the right approach, know-how and equipment to make your system work consistently. He can also supply and install antennas and other equipment and has the necessary tools to do the job properly every time. Greg believes many people are still putting up with poor television reception. Why, when you don’t have to? With most cases it is not a big expense to fix. “A lot of systems are effected by weather conditions, which if it were up-to-date, should not be effected,� he said. “The majority of faults are interference such as trees, the wrong antenna and old cabling and connections, which can normally be fixed within one visit by me.� Not only does Greg install and set up digital TV and set top boxes, he also

He can also show you how to get the best out of your entertainment system and give you the knowhow to operate it. Greg also sets up your system to best suit the understanding of the client with minimal changes to ensure ease of use, taking the frustration out of just trying to watch or record digital TV. A majority of retailers nowadays cannot offer the after hours service and this is why Greg developed his business. He offers expertise in the field, is friendly and

those full moons.” With the weather expected to be warm enough for water sports, Mr Sharley said the region will welcome the tourist influx. Riverland Tourism Association chair Peter Freeman said the Easter break is a crucial time for operators. “It’s very important for the houseboat operators for sure because Easter tariffs are always at a higher rate and it helps make up for some of the quieter periods,” he said. “It’s very important to have a period where everything is almost booked out

and that helps all of the tourist operators. “The Riverland has probably got to push Easter and particularly some of the less obvious attractions, for example, the huge variety of bird life now in the Riverland.” Victorian visitors this week John and Judy Brooker said the tranquil nature of the surroundings and the friendly people is what makes the Riverland a great place to visit. “The whole setting with the river, it’s just beautiful,” she said.

terpretive panels concerning developments in the grain industry. As a young boy Don Wurfel was interested in the wheat varieties his father grew on the farm and this is seen through the display. Easy-to-use audio-visual adds to the display. A dryland farming display, with the theme ‘conserve the water – conserve the soil’ has six landscape dioramas and interpretive panels portraying agricultural development and production in the district over 100 years. The Mallee Women display focuses on the theme ‘they stood beside them’. It is an evocative display

demonstrating the contribution made by women as they supported the men in the settlement of the Mallee The ‘Spirit of the Mallee’ has been interpreted with a series of clay plaques on concrete motor tyres. The plaques bear information explaining the various aspects common to Mallee communities such as water, fire, Mallee, land use, settlement, history and much more. Volunteers make it possible for the Pinnaroo based centre to be open for three hours daily from 10am to 1 pm, Monday to Saturday, while the tourist attraction opens by appointment outside of those times.

Pumpkin on the menu at Cadell PUMPKIN fanatics from around the country will travel to Cadell Oval this weekend to compete for a place at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival in California, USA. Taking place at 2pm on Easter Saturday, the Cadell Harvest Festival will again host the Murray River Giant Pumpkin Competition with the person who has grown the biggest pumpkin winning a trip to America for October’s festival. So far, 25 entries have been lodged for the harvest festival but organiser Kevin Myers said he is expecting plenty more to sign up and word is that entrants are remaining tight-lipped on how big their pumpkins are. “They’ll come on the day and won’t say beforehand in case something happens to it,� he said. With the introduction of the Murray River Giant Pumpkin Competition attracting people from around the country, Mr Myers said the harvest festival is helping put Cadell on the map. He said last year’s winner from New South Wales, Dale Oliver, who grew a mammoth 394 kilogram pumpkin will not compete this year after his entry “collapsed on him�. “There’s the possibility of some Victorians coming this year and we just welcome them to our community,� Mr Myers said. Entries need to be presented at Cadell Oval from midday on Easter Saturday. Not only does first prize win an overseas trip but the top 10 place getters and a junior category receive cash prizes, along with several novelty categories.

Popular Easter tradition grows THE popular pumpkin competition is just one of the attractions at this year’s Cadell Harvest Festival. More than 2000 people are expected to attend the event with entertainment for the whole family. The ever popular cockroach racing will be on again, the best home brew competition, orange/ grape throwing, carp tossing, Easter egg hunt, barrell rolling, pickle and jam competitions, tug-ofwar and a scarecrow display will all be attractions. A number of stalls including face painting, wines, handcrafts, fruits and bric-a-brac items will be on hand. Wine tasting, bar facilities and food and drink stalls will also be available, while live entertainment will play throughout the afternoon. Mr Myers said the decision to host the festival in the afternoon is so that it does not clash with the Morgan Easter Bazaar. “As we’re two towns close together, it doesn’t pay to compete,� he said. “We find 90 per cent of their people come over to us anyway.� When the festival started three years ago, Mr Myers said there was only around 300 people in attendance and today thousands attend. “Years and years ago, the harvest festival used to be called the harvest hop where people would just get together after harvest is finished and just celebrate,� he said. The festival will take place on Easter Saturday at Cadell Oval from 2pm to 7pm.For further details visit www.cadell.org.au or phone Danny on 0430 512 500.

FORMING Easter bilbies from handmade chocolate should be classed as art. Involved in the chocolate making process is Dean and Janet Grosse, of Waikerie based Havenhand Chocolates. The award winning business has earned a reputation as creating some of the finest chocolate in South Australia. While chocolatier Janet is busy tempering various chocolate mixtures to create the stunning sweets, Dean is surrounded by the chocolate temptation as he serves customers. The Grosse family has a strong connection with the region and this history is celebrat-

ed through the unique chocolate business. It was 1919 when after serving in Gallipoli, Dean’s grandfather Jim Grosse returned to Glossop to take up a soldier settler’s block with his b bride.

I’m passionate about Riverland fruit and especially Riverland dried apricots. On the land, the family, including Dean, grew sultanas, apricots, oranges, peaches, pears, raisins, figs, with many of those fruits involved in the chocolate making process today. “I’m passionate about

“So we’ve gone out and sourced what we think is the best available chocolate to put that fruit in so we use chocolate from a Belgian chocolate maker and when you put that with Riverland fruit, we don’t think we can do it

any better. “It’s handcrafted, all handcrafted, there’s nothing here made by a machine.� The Easter period is a busy time for Havenhand but ultimately rewarding at the end of the day. “At Easter everyone eats chocolate,� Dean said. The traditions of Easter bunnies and bilbies are in the Havenhand creation list along with a number of unusual chocolate designs. “Bilbies are around everywhere but where else are you going to find chocolate pelicans or koala bears or kangaroos anywhere else?� Dean said.

Yabbies on the hop FISH and yabbies are on the hop this Easter with locals and tourists expected to hunt out the best spots for a catch. Local fishing guru, Hook Line and Sinker Berri manager John Cockshell said there are pockets of yabbies across the region. “A few are getting caught on the sandbar areas which are probably generally the bigger ones than the river itself,� he said. “Yabbies at this stage, the smaller ones are still soft shell, so people need to check the shells because they won’t have much meat in them otherwise.� Mr Cockshell said fish are around in large numbers and many keen fishermen will get the rod out this Easter. “Quite a few big ones have been caught in the past few weeks,� he said. “So from that point of view it should be looking pretty reasonable for Easter because we’ve got the full moon coming up. “If the weather’s good, it will be crowded.� The flowing water will be an added challenge for fishermen,

according to Mr Cockshell. “They’ll have to search for the fish because when the water flows, the rate has been changing and the fishing spots change too,� he said. “Generally in your quieter spots just out of your main flow is where they will get them. Despite further flows into the River Murray, Mr Cockshell said water sports such as skiing and wakeboarding are still a great option over Easter.

Humphrey Pump,� he said. “Our Humphrey Pump is the only one that was installed in the Southern Hemisphere and there was about a dozen installed in the norther hemisphere, mainly in England. “Ours is the only one in the world that is still capable of working, so we’ve got something that’s absolutely unique.� The museum, located in the heart of Cobdolga, will come

Triple racing treat at speedways

Car rally heads to region THE Hillman Car Club of South Australia is expected to turn heads when its vehicles head to Renmark as part of the national rally this weekend. About 110 people from across Australia in 58 cars will converge on the region over the Easter long weekend. The national rally, which is held biennially, is expected to attract much attention. Hillman Car Club of South Australia’s Rosslyn Brown said she hopes the visit gives the region a tourism boost. “We are hoping it will inspire a bit of energy and enthusiasm for the Riverland and draw people to the Riverland from other outlying areas,� she said. “We also hope it will be of interest and will give people the opportunity for a trip down memory lane or to recall the days of Hillman.�

MOTOR enthusiasts and anyone wanting to be entertained will be given the opportunity with three nights of speedway action across the Riverland this Easter. Starting on Friday night, Waikerie’s Sunline Speedway will host a number of races with plenty of action for the crowd on hand. Sunline Speedway coordinator Jenny Lemar said it is the first time racing will take place on Good Friday at the venue. “A lot of the cars didn’t have anywhere to run on Friday night because Mildura are running the Australian Modified Titles this year and the guys that normally run there on a Friday night couldn’t get a

Even if people don’t like speedway, I think there is still going to be something for everyone.

run,� she said. The Friday night event will also host a round of the Lightning Sprints being labelled as the Easter Triple Treat, with races on Friday and Sunday at Waikerie and Saturday at Renmark. Sunline Speedway will also host an event on Sunday with a round of

the wingless sprints series, street stocks and the Easter Cup Stampede featuring juniors from across Australia. “It’s good racing that’s good to watch and it’s also the Amcar title on the Sunday,� Jenny said. There will also be classic cars, formula 500s and hot rods racing, with Eas-

ter eggs and a raffle on offer to those in attendance. Gates open at 4pm on both Friday and Sunday at Waikerie with racing beginning at 6pm. Riverland Speedway, in Renmark, will host a Saturday night Easter event with one of the highlights being a giant fireworks display.

Amongst racing on the night will be the winged v8 sprint cars, wingless sprints, Easter Triple Treat Cup and the figure eight ramp race. Easter bunny will make an appearance, while clowns will have Easter eggs and glow stick giveaways. “I think it will be a really good family orientated show and even if people don’t like speedway, I think there is still going to be something for everyone,� Riverland Speedway president Greg Haynes said. The event on Easter Saturday will see gates open at 5pm, racing to kick off at 6pm, with the fireworks midway through racing at about 9.30pm.

RIVERLAND icon PS Industry will be full steam ahead for three days over the Easter long weekend. The paddlesteamer has this year decided to cruise on Good Friday following a number of requests. Friends of the PS Industry committee member Sandra Daniel said bringing the century old paddlesteamer to life is another attraction for tourists. “They come to the town and they see the industry moored there and I think it’s nice that it can go out,� she said. “There are certainly a lot of people around Renmark at the moment, so that’s good.� Mrs Daniel said visitors are always impressed that there is so much work

put into the vessel by local community members. “The comment is always about what good condition it is in because now it is 101 years old,� she said. “I think they are always intrigued that it is run by volunteers. “It’s an asset to Renmark.� The PS Industry will cruise on Good Friday, Saturday and Sunday over two sessions daily at 11am to 12.30pm and 1pm to 3pm.

Berri’s popular carnival

Community spirit at Easter breakfasts

ENTERTAINMENT galore will be on offer at this year’s annual C.A.P.A Performance Berri Easter Carnival. Beginning at 7am and incorporating the free Easter breakfast on Vaughan Terrace, the carnival is expected to attract thousands of people to the centre of Berri. Berri District Business Association president Barry Phillips said the event caters for all ages. “It’s all about putting Berri on the map,� he said. “It helps to bring the community together. “The carnival is an event for Berri but it also attracts people from the outer Riverland region as far as other towns and visitors.� There will be around 15 stalls featuring cakes, books, plants, jewellery and much more, while music from the 1960s, 70s and 80s will

ONE of the most unique things about Easter in the Riverland is the free community breakfasts that are held. This year Loxton, Berri and Renmark will host Easter breakfasts for locals and tourists to gather together and enjoy each other’s company. In Berri, the 5RM free breakfast will begin at 7am on the lawns of Vaughan Terrace with plenty on offer, including local eggs and juice. The Renmark Lutheran Church is proud to be involved in organising the fourth Renmark Easter breakfast to be held at the lion statue in the centre of Renmark from 7.30am to 10.30am. Co-organiser Malcolm Weiss said more than 700 people are expected to attend. “I think it’s something that we feel the community should have,� he said. “It’s just a real friendly community function.� Sausages, eggs, hamburgers, fruit juice, tea and coffee will be available.

be provided by local band Froth n’ Bubble. A fashion parade, organised by Jenny Todd of Adrienne’s Frock Salon, will begin at 8am, while the Berri Gymnastic Club will hold its annual performance at 10am. For the children there will be visits from Kiki and Kooka the Clowns, Tendril the Alien and the Eagle Boys’ Bunny. There will also be a free jumping castle, face painting, a hair stylist booth, Henna tattoos and food and beverages will be available. Selected shops in Berri will also be open during the carnival. “Ultimately it’s an opportunity to bring more people into the Berri CBD to go in and walk through our local shops and hopefully create some additional turnover,� Mr Phillips said.

At Loxton, the hour long, free Easter breakfast kicks off at 7.30am at the East Terrace rotunda. A cooked breakfast including eggs, sausages and hamburgers, plus hot cross buns, fruit and juices will be on offer. “It is really popular with the visitors because they just don’t ever get to experience that sort of country hospitality and when they are staying in a small town and camping, it is just really great for them to come along and be part of the free breakfast,� Loxton Chamber of Commerce business and event manager Sonya Altschwager said.

■HELPERS: Locals and tourists will experience the region’s hospitality during free Easter breakfasts at Loxxton, Berri and Renmark.

For many Riverlanders and tourists in the region, Easter is a time to celebrate Jesus Christ and spread the Easter message. Hundreds of people across the Riverland and Mallee are expected to flock to churches at Easter. Pastor Sonny Pillay, of Living Waters Christian Community in Loxton, believes Easter is the most significant date in the Christian calendar. “It is a celebration of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ,” he said. “It symbolises the heart of the Christian gospel.” Ps Sonny said there is also a deeper meaning behind the customary chocolate eggs and hot cross buns. “The cross on the hot

Banrock Station’s special Easter event IT IS all happening at Banrock Station Wine & Wetland Centre this Easter. With plenty of entertainment on offer and fine regional cuisine, there are many reasons why you should make Banrock your choice for a day out this weekend. This weekend’s Easter at Banrock Station Wine & Wetland Centre event commences from 9am on Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with breakfast. Singer Mick Kelly will headline Easter Sunday’s entertainment proceedings, while Acoustic Duo will perform on Easter Saturday and Easter Monday. Banrock Station tourism manager Erica Babbage encouraged as many families as possible to attend. “We’ve got our wildlife officer up here with her little joeys and the python and some other birds and other wildlife

cross buns is significant of Christ’s death,” he said. “And the egg symbolises a chick hatching, representing the Christian’s new life in Christ.” The gospel is a central aspect of almost all Christian denominations with many holding a number of services over the weekend. “We will be holding a Good Friday service at 9am with a focus on Christ’s death and what that means,” Ps Sonny said. “And on Sunday, we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope that we have an eternal life.” With a number of tourists expected over the long weekend, Ps Sonny said that the church, like many others across the region, is open to everyone. “People are most welcome to come and celebrate with us,” he said.

MALLEE FOOTBALL LEAGUE 2012 SEASON PREVIEW

BDT favourites in Mallee football With the Mallee Football League kicking off later this month, the Riverland Weekly takes a look at each team to see how the season is shaping up.

Ronco Motors

For all your machinery needs both large & small All the best to the teams in the Mallee FL for 2012

Ph: 8577 8129

Glen Kelly Hardware

PINNAROO

KAROONDA

Fresh start for Roos

Determined ‘Pies

A NEW coach and fresh faces to the Supa Roos could be just what the doctor ordered. After claiming the wooden spoon last season, A grade coach Ben McPhee is hoping to build confidence around the club in both the experienced and younger players. His message to the rest of the competition is “we are not going to be the easy beats”. The team welcomes prize recruit Tyron Bennetts from the Southern Football League with big things expected form the 23-year-old. Equally important is the boost to the midfield and forward line with former Lyrup captain Jason Marr, proven goalkicker Anthony Lippis and reliable wingman Chris Hughes. Anthony Karner also made the transition from Berri but unfortunately will not play this season due to a shoulder reconstruction. Former West Adelaide Development Coach McPhee has been able to regain the core of last year’s squad and has plenty of talent to work with. Midfielder and 2011 club best and fairest Alex Keough and goalkicker Ryan Nickolls will both again be key players. There is much experience with the likes of Chad and Wade Nickolls in the ruck, Heath Boseley on the half back flank, Bradley Schroeder also at half back and Leith Dabinett up forward. Promising signs have also been shown by young guns 17-year-old Thomas Hawthorne, tall timber Jake Venning and Rory O’Driscoll. McPhee said there is a buzz around Pinnaroo with the team performing well in trial matches so far. “We’ve been pretty clear and up front with everyone about where we are heading and what we want to do with the club,” he said. “We want some success but we want success to continue. “Two seasons ago they were only a goal playing off in a grand final so the core group of players and the talent is there, it’s just having the direction, discipline and leadership there to take them forward. “We want to be top two that’s for sure.”

THOSE in the know about Mallee football are predicting Karoonda as a darkhorse to win this year’s flag. While the Magpies have lost experience with Dylan Caldwell, Darren Hare and potentially Justin Jackson not taking to the field this season. Ben Quinn has made the switch from Mannum to the Mallee and will add plenty of depth in the playing/coach position. Along with him is the likes of defender Andrew Smithson, Daniel Thiele and Shane Harte. Karoonda will be hoping to build on its third place finish last season and a grand final berth is not out of the question. Expect 2011 club best and fairest Corey Knight to be consistently on the ball after stints at half back last season. Midfielder Brodie Chinner is another player that will have an important impact. Interestingly the Magpies have not won a premiership in the MFL, so will this be their season?

PREDICTION: Fourth INS: Tyron Bennetts (Southern FL), Chris Hughes (Barmera-Monash), Anthony Lippis (Paringa), Anthony Karner (Berri), Jason Marr (Lyrup), Brad Rosenzweig (Golden Rivers FL). OUTS: Ben Barratt (SAAFL), Owen Brown (Northern Areas FL), Addison Burns (SAAFL), Peter Tuppin (SAAFL), Trevor Lecor (SAAFL).

■ RECRUIT: Lyrup’s Anthony Lippis will be a welcome addition to Pinnaroo this season.

BORDER DOWNS/ TINTINARA

Three in a row? THERE is almost a calm about the Border Downs/Tintinara Football Club as it embarks on the quest to win its third flag in succession. The team has retained the majority of last year’s playing group and has managed to recruit Ryan Van Deleur from the North Eastern Football League. The question the Mallee Football League teams will be asking is, can anyone stop BDT? The Crows will start favourites for the flag again this season with the likes of Clint, Josh and Lachy Richardson commanding the midfield. Shane Binns added 63 goals last season and the forward would be hoping for another big year. Another stand-out performer is Josh Keller, who will get his hands on plenty of the football. BDT is a well oiled premiership machine and it has the ability to go all the way...again.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Basketballers win state titles ■ RIVERLAND won two titles when seven teams competed in the Under 12 and Under 16 SA Country Basketball Championships played at a number of stadiums across Adelaide recently. The Under 12 girls Division Two team, coached by Lyn Sweeney, won their grand final by six points and Leanne Menz’ Division Four side clinched the championship by one point in overtime. In another exciting finish, the boys Under 16 Division One team, coached by Mark Leuth, went down in their grand final to Murray Bridge by four points in overtime. It was their first loss for the tournament. Jill Lange’s Under 12 Division Three team lost their grand final by five points, while at Under 16 level the boys Division Three side, coached by Tyson Hoffmann, and girls Division Three, led by Shane Phillips, both reached the semi-finals and Les Lange’s injury plagued Division Two team went down in a qualifying final. Talking to Les, the President of the Riverland Association, on Monday he was extremely pleased with the efforts in Adelaide. “Injuries are a worry though with Steph Sarro now joining Indee Thiele with some problems not far away from their try outs for the SA Under 16 Girls team to go to the nationals,” he said.

Hill’s great start in eightball ■ THE Riverland eightball season for 2012 got underway with its traditional first event, the Rex Weaver Memorial competition, with a big turnout of some 50 players vying for the prestigious trophy. As usual, even some of the best players made rusty starts to the season which led to early exits but as things settled down there was some quality eightball played. At the quarter final stage, Glen Carter defeated Daniel Stieler, Andrew Hill defeated Andrew Hambi, Shaun Salmon, Rose Rice and newcomer Alan McCauley accounted for Tony Rover. Hill won against Carter and McCauley won against Salmon in the semi-finals, with Hill going on to win his first Rex Weaver competition by proving a bit too steady for Alan McCauley, who nevertheless, impressed as a player to be reckoned with.

Big entries for national event ■ OVER 400 entries have been registered for the 2012 Big River Regional Nationals to be held at the Riverland Field Days site from Friday, April 13 to Monday, April 16. The committee is surprised that despite numerous eligible cars being owned in this region, their registrations for the event are still relatively low for such a large scale event. Vehicles eligible for entry are Australian Street Rod Federation Class, Street Rods, Customs and Classics up to 1965 and American and Australian Classic and Performance Cars, including Street Machines to 1972. The low Riverland entries aside, the 2012 entries have already eclipsed those of 2006, the last time the Big River Nationals came to the Riverland and accommodation is being stretched to the limit. The introduction of the Willys Nationals to the event has attracted interest from as far away as America but while we may not see entrants from there, a Willys enthusiast from New Zealand will become the first international entrant. The program outlined for the event includes the public having the opportunity on Saturday and Sunday to witness a Show and Shine, Hot Rod Olympics and Rocker Cover Racing. Saturday night sees Big Jim Hermal and the Hot Chicks appear in the Big River Marquee and Sunday morning, early, the Riverland Motorsport Club will present a Super Swap meet. Trade stands and variety stalls have increased on last time. For more information visit online at www.bigrivernationals.com.

Cobby’s winning streak continues ■ AT BARMERA last Saturday minor premier and defending champion Cobdogla won the Division One Riverland tennis premiership against Waikerie, eight sets, 66 games to four sets, 47 games. The Cobdogla women Katie Saville and Benita Dillon played a major part in their team’s win combining to grab both of their doubles matches and each winning their singles, Saville 7-5 against Penny Kroehn. The men’s sets were shared with Troy Saville and Shane Nettle having perfect singles and doubles outings for Cobdogla and Troy Lehmann and Ben Haines doing likewise for Waikerie. A couple of significant reversals in the doubles match-ups were crucial to Loxton defeating Renmark seven sets, 68 games to Renmark five sets, 60 games in the Division Two grand final. Loxton’s Brendan Cockshell and Nathan Flight lost first up to Nick Spinks and Andrew Hawkins 2-6 and then fought back to win 7-5 in the second meeting. Laura Zdanowicz and Nicole Graetz went down 1-6 and then recovered to record a 6-3 victory against Katelyn Schulz and Tamara Trowse. Cockshell defeated Spinks 9-4 at top single and for Renmark Kirk Thiel won 9-8 against Flight. The title decider in Division Three was an anti-climax after the excitement of the earlier finals matches as minor premier Barmera really turned up to play, winning 12 sets, 84 games to nil

sets, 28 games against Moorook. Also last weekend, the Berriview Tennis club would have been encouraged by a six sets, 54 games victory over Renmark Green, nil sets, 26 games in the Division One girls grand final. Despite the size of the winning margin it was a competitive contest however, including Alicia Shotton and Emily Taylor winning at second double 9-6 against Nicola Burdette and Ashleigh Baker. In the singles, Rachael Shotton won 9-5 over Juliet Mallinson and Alicia Shotton defeated Nicola Burdette 9-6. Marnie Stewart was the other Berri-view team member. In Division One boys, Cobdogla displayed the club’s depth, coincidentally like Berri view in the boys match, also grabbing six sets, 54 games in defeating Barmera Power nil sets, 32 games. Again there were some outstanding individual clashes with Steve Burton winning 9-8 over Joshua Spillios and Brodie Kollmann also claiming victory 9-8 against William Koskinos. Sam Butterworth, Brodie Fridd and Murray Burton also played for Cobdogla. In the other girls age groups, Barmera won a thrilling contest against Loxton in Division Two by two games, 3-32 to 3-30, Loxton won Division Three 5-37 to Barmera Phoenix 1-15 and Renmark Black won Division Four 5-36 to 1-21. Boys Division Two went to

Barmera Bulldogs 4-34 to Barmera Roos 2-31, Division Three to Loxton 6-42 to Barmera Lions 0-19 and in another cliffhanger Berri-view Red won against Barmera Blue in Division Four 3-29 to 3-28. Meanwhile, in the Southern Mallee Association two Lameroo teams contested the grand final last Saturday with Smithville winning a thrilling contest by just two games against Kookaburras 8 sets, 77 games to 8-75. The two teams had made contrasting entries into the premiership decider with Smithville winning comfortably against Woodbines and Kookaburras just ■ WINNERS: Cobdogla’s Shane scraping in against top team MurNettle (above) and Troy Savile rayville Gold in the semi-finals. (below) played important roles in Kookaburras were without some key players for Saturday’s their team’s division one premiership. clash but following the first round of doubles were up by one game. Spectators were treated to an excellent game of tennis at top double with Brad Young and Rick Sumner (Smithville) defeating Peter and Mitchell Byrne 7-6, 7-5. Kookaburras won all of the four singles played but Smithville clinched all of the reverse with doubles giving them the title by the narrowest of margins. During presentations after the match the outstanding contribution to the sport over many years by Peter and Michelle Byrne, who are leaving the district with their family, was acknowledged. Amazingly, on the court Peter has not lost a singles match in the past 18 years.

Riverland and Mallee hold own at state bowl’s comp ■ A NUMBER of lawn bowlers from this region were prominent in the annual Bowls SA Women’s Country Carnival that concluded on Monday after a week of competition. The singles saw Loxton’s Lorraine Lee and Lameroo’s Jill Day both reach the final 32, while several rinks remained well into the pairs and fours competitions. Lyrup pair Sue Lloyd and Barb Howe did exceptionally well in the pairs, reaching the quarter finals before going down 11-9 after an extra end to a Strathalbyn duo. Two Lameroo rinks led by Jean Young and Marion Walker won through to the final 32 and Raelene Reichstein and Lyn Kimber (Loxton) and Ros Smith and Mary Romeo (Lyrup) reached the last 64, Reichstein going down narrowly 14-13. Raelene Reichstein really had a busy week as skipper as she was

In fact, the singles final in which she is involved could not be completed and is to be played later.

Big names in local racing at speedways ■ SPEEDWAY fans will have a rare treat this weekend with meetings at Waikerie Sunline Speedway on Good Friday and Easter Sunday and another at the Riverland complex on Saturday. Lightning Sprints will appear on all three programs when they contest their three night Easter Cup series and with something like 10 cars nominated there should be action aplenty. Kate Weise, Chris Quinton and Jordan Barrow will resume their battle but another to keep an eye on will be local Jason Wilson when he gets another run aboard the Lee Payne machine. Wingless Sprints will also feature at both tracks and the 15 car line-up includes such big names as newly crowned Australian champion Todd Wigzell, Jarmen Dalitz, Mikayla Hein and Cody Atkins. Junior turn outs have been

great this season and Andy Maxwell, Callum Mackie and Jack Gartner will be amongst up to 20 plus entries at both complexes, while at Waikerie Street Stocks and Formula 500s will race on both nights and boast quality fields. The main event however at Sunline for the weekend is the running of the SA AMCA title on Sunday. Twenty one nominations have been accepted including Australia number one Campbell Hughes, Victoria’s Darren McCarthy, as well as Tasmanian Rodney Bassett and two leading the SA charge, Brian Chadwick and Danny Prade. At the Riverland meeting the line-up will include the Chris Evans Transport 360 Club Championship with some of the top drivers expected to compete including Loxton’s Keke Falland, who last weekend grabbed the SA number two ranking in

in the business, two bowl sets plays pairs. One visitor said “this is the best event going around and it is great to see a club offering a variation to all of the fours events that are held all over the place”. In the end there were a few sob stories but the prize money went to all parts of the state including the top collect to John Whelan and Ian Oliver from the Hawthorne Club in Adelaide. Locals cashed up in the next three placings in John Morena and Julie Gartner (Barmera), Peter Kimber and Malcolm Wachtel (Loxton), Geoff Huppatz (Moorook) and Dixie Lee (Waikerie) then Jerry Ramesa and Phil Marchant (West Lakes), who won the event in 2011, came in fifth. Day one money went to Malcolm Inglis and David Rice and day two winnings went to Loxton father and son combination Gerrin and Neville Jenke.

Ten pin bowler’s busy Easter ■ A RIVERLAND team of fourteen adults and four juniors will have a busy Easter weekend playing 20 games over three days in a Ten Pin Bowling tournament at the Salisbury Bowland Centre. The event, which starts on Good Friday, also involves teams from Whyalla, Port Pirie, Murray Bridge, Mount Gambier and Barossa Valley. The young Riverland teams will play up to seven games per day and the team includes: Men’s A grade - Neville Buhllman, Jeff Halls, Trevor Mayfield, Craig Tranter, Tony Trevorrow.

Windsurfer Africa bound ■ BARMERA windsurfer Anthony Hamood is amongst the international competitors that have been invited to the Luderitz Speed Challenge in Namibia, Africa. The 2012 event will be held in November. This is an annual speed sailing event held since 2007 at the southern end of a one by seven kilometre lagoon, where there is a strong wind blowing consistently from the south at the perfect angle of 140 degrees to the course. In the first year in 2007, a curved course was used but in 2008 a straight run was created by digging along the shore and sand bags were placed to create a dam with a flatter water surface. In 2009 and 2010 channels were built. Then in 2011, a huge project was undertaken to dig a canal 300 metres away from the lagoon. Results over the years show faster times in less wind. Establishing the unique Luderitz site has always been about setting new records and so far 45 national and six world records have been established at the event. The 2012 Luderitz World Speed Sailing Challenge covers six weeks from November 5,

firstly for windsurfers, then for kitesurfers. And Anthony Hamood has been invited to compete after his performances at Lake George at Beachport have seen him high in world rankings in the GPS Challenge that we referred to in this column some weeks ago. Hamood, with his SA Speed Demons teammates, continues to record world class times at Lake George. “It has been terrific for all of us,” he said. “We get there as often as we can.” Recently Anthony had “his best day ever reaching over 47 knots and averaging 45”. In the last article we referred to him working his way up to third in GPS Challenge world rankings but now, along with fellow Barmera SA Speed Demons rider Meta Sindos, he finished top 10 in rankings for GPS Speedsurfing last month.

Yacht Club’s Easter Regatta ■ THE Lake Bonney Yacht Club will hold its annual Easter Regatta with two races being sailed on both Saturday and Sunday. Last Saturday in the second Pacer Challenge, three short races were held in light and variable winds which led to close race times for the boats involved and the leading yachts appearing to change with wind shifts. Kirsten Thomas won event one, Steve Thomas race two and John Eshman race three, with the overall finishing positions being Eshman, Kirsten and Steve Thomas. The LBYC will hold its Anzac Day/ closing day on Saturday April 28, with the annual presentation dinner to follow that evening.

Haines top golfer at Waikerie ■ PETER Haines with 40 stableford points won the division one competition at the Waikerie Golf Club on Saturday. Division two went to David Broome on 41 and other leading scorers were Trevor Kranz and Hans Van der Meyden, 39, and Ron Watkins and Mal Chidlow, 38. The accurate ones nearest the pins were Phil Isaacson and Chris Bee and the most powerful was Daniel Fechner and Mick Wallace, who unleashed the longest drives. All of our top class Riverland turf clubs are reporting good visitor numbers at this time of year and Waikerie, along with the other clubs, will conduct competitions over the Easter long weekend.

Looking back at... The success of Berri tennis ■ WITH the Berri-view Tennis club finding it necessary to withdraw its team from the division one competition at the halfway mark of the 201112 season, it would seem natural to make comment on the sadness of the situation and to enter into the usual speculation about how this could possibly occur. After all, one of the Riverland’s biggest and best known tennis clubs was reduced to one team at senior level. But frankly I am tired of writing sporting obituaries and constantly going over the many reasons that are allegedly behind the demise of a lot of our sport, particularly for the summer months. Let us look back at a time the Berri-view club was flourishing and hope that from the healthy junior numbers it boasts today, it can find a way to somehow again reconcile its senior competition player ranks with its quality facilities . Thirty years ago, 1982, and the Riverland Association had an A Grade competition involving nine teams, another nine B Grade teams, nine at B Two level, 10 in C Grade and four in a D Grade women’s competition. Berri-view fielded two teams in the top division, three in B grade, one in B Two, two in C grade and two in the women’s grade. Overall the association had 41 senior sides with Berri-view supplying 10 of them. And remember these were in the main 10 member teams not six as they are today. In the A Grade, a two set victory by Berri-view Blue in the last of the minor round matches over clubmates Gold, gave it the 1982 mi-

nor premiership with 22 points on percentage from Renmark Tintra Gold, followed by Loxton 18, Berri-view Gold 17 and not far away in fifth position, Waikerie, 16. In the second semi-final, Berri-view Blue defeated Renmark Tintra Gold and in the first semi, Loxton ended Berri-View Gold’s season by only two sets before gaining a grand final berth by winning the preliminary final comfortably against Tintra Gold.

Overall the association had 41 senior teams with Berri-view supplying 10.

The Berri-view club was then chasing its first A Grade pennant in 27 years. They had not won since going back-to-back in 195354 and 1954-55. In the grand final, the scores at the end read, Berriview Blue, 12 sets, 113 games to Loxton 8-102, fairly comfortable on paper but really a end to end struggle. Whereas Loxton had won the preliminary final because of a domination in the women’s matches, on this occasion it was the Berri ladies that proved the difference. In the singles, Peg Schultz fought back from 1-5 down to defeat Di Schluter 6-5, Jan Carpenter lost to Kathy Battams 1-6, Willy Barnett defeated Karen Rollbusch 6-0 and fourteen year old Jody Hoskins won 6-2 against Shirley Neale. For Loxton, Bruce Proud and his sons Andrew and

Philip all won their singles matches defeating John Viney, Mike Schultz and Brian Zanker respectively. But victories to Russell Deakin 9-6 over Warren Schwarz, Ken Carpenter 9-5 against John Rowe and Ken Smith 9-4 over John Schluter evened up the ledger. The 1980s went on to be a successful period for Berri-view as further Division One premierships came with back-to-back victories in 1983/84 and 1984/85. Mind you, in both of those years the club went into grand final day with the pennant already sewn up as it was Berri-view Gold playing Berri-view Blue. In 1983/84 the Gold team finished minor premiers but went down in the second semi and then the grand final, both 12 sets to eight, as Blue won the title. In 1984-85 it was Berriview Blue again when they beat the premiership favourites Gold 11-9 in the grand final in a reversal of the second semi result. However, Blue had just scraped past Renmark in the preliminary final on games thanks to Tim O’Brien winning the final set decided against Stan May 9-8 after he had led 8-5. The Berri club added another division one pennant to its record in 1997/98 after celebrating its 50th Anniversary in March 1996 with a dinner at the Berri Resort Hotel. And they had a lot to celebrate with premierships over the years from the top division right down to F grade. We can only hope that with hard work and astute planning there is far more to come for this proud club.

C CALLUM TTRIFONOFF

Marr joins Pinnaroo By BRAD PERRY LYRUP has lost its premiership captain, Jason Marr, after he signed with Pinnaroo in the Mallee Football League this week. The Howard Duthie and Mail Medalist will pursue the next chapter in his football career following a number of successful seasons in the Riverland Independent Football competition with Ramco and Lyrup. While he said the decision to leave the Lions was difficult, especially following back-to-back premiership wins, Marr is setting himself a new challenge at Pinnaroo. “You win two premierships in a row with your friends and the people you’ve played with and it was hard to turn your back on them but at the end of the day you’ve got to do what’s best for yourself,”

Marr said. “Hopefully I’ve left a premiership side to go to another.” Newly appointed Pinnaroo A grade football coach Ben McPhee said adding Marr to the midfield certainly strengthens the team. “He brings a lot of experience and a lot of toughness,” McPhee said. “People round here would love to have him in any side just to bring the experience and the determination and guts that he’s got.” McPhee has the job of bringing Pinnaroo off the bottom of the ladder and has already recruited former Lyrup spearhead Anthony Lippis and BarmeraMonash wingman Chris Hughes. ■ MALLEE FOOTBALL LEAGUE PREVIEW ON PAGES 32 & 33

THE Riverland Soccer Association A grade competition will consist of only four teams for the coming season following the withdrawal of Barmera Gold. Due to the new format, all four teams will be guaranteed a berth in the Top Four Cup at the end of the season. However, the association this year has introduced a three team B grade competition, in a move which is expected to create more depth in the association. RSA president Bill Bucon said despite Barmera Gold not fielding an A grade team, the competition has more teams overall. “In actual fact, going from five A grade teams last year, we’re, in affect, seven teams now,” he said. The only A grade team unable to field a B grade team is Loxton United. “It gives the under 16s, who weren’t confident in playing A grade, the opportunity to play B grade,” Bucon said. “It also gives A grade coaches opportunities to drop down any players who aren’t in form to the Bs and viceversa. “We haven’t had that flexibility in the competition for years.” Meanwhile, Renmark Olympic has won the inaugural Steve Poutakidis Trophy at the weekend’s Interstate Challenge in Renmark and Mildura after solid performances from the club’s A grade, open girls and under 16 teams. Competing against teams from the Riverland and Sunraysia, Olympic won on a points total for all three grades, with its open girls team finishing first in its respective level.
