The state’s nursing federation to ask Country Health SA...

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

SOUTH Australia’s nursing federation will today meet with Country Health SA as it seeks answers over why a request for information about staff rostering and patient levels has been denied.

Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation of SA chief executive Elizabeth Dabars will meet with Country Health SA chief exec-

Acting on concerns from its

BLD 182130

members, Ms Dabars said requests were made for information on nursing levels, patient numbers and rostering configurations at the Berri based hospital.

“We have had some concerns raised with us about the organisation meeting the minimum safe staffing levels and the consequences on that failure on patient care,” she said.

“As a result we have raised those issues with the organisation directly and requested a range of information to be provided to us regarding what staffing is actually being provided.

“All of the metropolitan hospitals provide it on a very regular basis, they provide it to us monthly with no questions.

“Being denied information is very disturbing for us as we are left in a position wondering what Country Health is hiding.”

Ms Dabars said the initial request for information was made almost three weeks ago.

Captalise on iPhone 5 hype SOMETIMES I feel like the Riverland underestimates the potential of technology and in particular, social media.

From a tourism point of view, we should be getting the most out of iPhone applications, Facebook pages and websites etc.

It is a well known fact that a large percentage of Riverland tourism operators are without online booking options and we know there are plans in place to counter that.

The news of the Murray River iPhone application should be welcomed in the Riverland, where it will make travelling along the river easier for tourists.

I have never understood the hype around iPhones and certainly do not understand why people line up to purchase one.

However, for the first time I am operating with a touchscreen phone with my upgrade to the iPhone 5.

For those younger people reading this, they have probably already remarked at how far behind the times that puts me.

The older generation are potentially recalling a brick like mobile phone from their days and commenting on its reliability.

Either way, the hype around the new iPhone 5 could be capatlised on by Riverland tourism.

It is clear that people use these iPhone applications and I am aware we do have them for certain events in the Riverland but is there a specific Riverland and Mallee application for tourism spots around the region?

It is certainly something to think about.

“This used to be the meeting place of the Riverland and all nationalities used to meet here on a Thursday night and it was a real buzz but the times, in that respect, have changed now and retail has changed,� he said. “It is a sad thing, I never thought I would be at this stage but it is reality, I am now 71. “I just like to thank everybody for supporting the plaza like they have done, it has kept us all in a job.�

From cleaning up

FOR more than two decades, Riverland Central Plaza caretaker Eddie Downs has gone about his job without fuss.

The contract cleaner is calling it a day at the age of 71 after 26 years of service to the Berri based retail centre.

Shop owners, employees and community members gathered yesterday to farewell Mr Downs as he goes into retirement.

While Mr Downs was very thankful for the support over the years, he said times have certainly changed.

muddy fruit picker tracks down aisles in the 1980s to plant watering mishaps, Mr Downs certainly has some stories to tell. “The funniest thing that ever happened to me was when it was a 48 degree day and I was out watering the pot plants and I was filling up a two litre container with the hose and behind my back the hose came out and spread all over this little girl in a push chair,� he said. “I took them both in and I brought them new dresses,� he laughed.

Berri based capers claim fine food medals BERRI based Kolophon Capers is not only continually seeing a rise in demand for the product but is also being recognised for its hard work.

With the local caper products being introduced to a gourmet retail store and five top restaurants in Brisbane recently, it was in Sydney that the product again won accolades.

Kolophon Capers received two bronze medals at the Syd-

ney Royal Fine Food Show this month for its caper leaves and caper berries.

The business had previously won a bronze medal for its capers at the event last year.

Kolophon Capers’ Barry Porter said he is glad to be part of the venture which began as a retirement hobby and has continued to grow. “It means that there are a lot more chefs out there who will

take notice of us and to put a medal on your jar that will help demand continue,� he said. “We are slowly increasing production as the bushes get bigger and we are looking at other ways of increasing production but keeping the quality up. “There has been a lot of publicity with all of the cooking shows on television about

A FUNDRAISER to remember Corey Siemers on the day that would have been his 20th birthday will also be the first step towards the establishment of a trust fund to benefit talented local sports people.

On Saturday, thousands of people are expected to attend the Corey Siemers B’day Bash at the Riverland Field Days site at Barmera.

Corey tragically died in a car accident in Adelaide in 2010 and the talented footballer would have celebrated his 20th birthday on September 29.

With his friends hoping to organise a party, Corey’s father Gavin initially did not intend on hosting something so large.

“We always had in mind of starting up a trust and that has just been sitting in the pipeline,� he said. “A couple of mates were talking about having a birthday party

The trust will see money go back into local sporting areas, particularly those that Corey was fond of including football, basketball and cricket. “It will be for people to

Berri’s parking problems THE Berri Barmera Council may be forced to further police timed parking in the town centre following a review of car parking by a hired engineer.

The survey undertaken by the engineer assessed the usage of the existing cark park situation and identified strategies that may be useful to help alleviate congestion within the Berri town centre.

While the review identified that car parking space is an issue, the engineer stated that one of the major causes of congestion is the overstay of vehicles in timed car parks and the use of disabled car parks by unauthorised people.

Berri Barmera Council major projects manager Gary Brinkworth said timed parking is an issue council will enforce as much as practicable.

“We have a high demand of car parking within the town centre and one of the issues was overstays in the car parking and the availability of car parking in general,” he said.

“It is something that we need to identify further now that we have identified that there is an issue and we have the data.

“We are still undertaking investigations of establishing a car parking fund to assist developers.”

Mr Brinkworth said many sites do not provide themselves with adequate parking space.

“The lack of car parking that sites provide themselves puts a high reliance on on-street parking and obviously we don’t have

a substantial supply of on-street parking either,” he said.

“The policing of it was highlighted and nominated as one of the issues and certainly council will need to have a look at that.”

Job cuts to impact region JOB cuts to 34 Rural Solutions staff over the past two months are likely to have an impact on the Riverland and Mallee, according to Opposition Agriculture Minister Adrian Pederick.

The 34 jobs were cut from the service which reportedly previously had a workforce of over 100 people.

“I would think it will have an impact right across the state, so it will impact the Riverland and Mallee,” he said.

“You have primary industries going out to educate our farmers on how to keep up with the leading edge technology and keeping up with innovation and what bothers me, especially with the crisis that has been in the Riverland with the recent drought

that broke in 2010, is we have already seen the devastation of that and unless we have the right people helping keep our farmers at the front edge of innovation, I think it will have a very severe effect in keeping our farm skills up with the best in the world.”

Mr Pederick described the cuts as “appalling” by the current government.

“If they are going to bank on agriculture being a leader for our state, they should be investing it rather than divesting in it with the multi millions of dollars that have been cut from primary industries spending and also the hundreds of jobs that have been lost,” he said.

With further job losses in the ag-

ricultural field, Mr Pederick said there is continued concern for the future of the Loxton Research Centre.

“I think that is a centre that is severely under-utilised and what this government should be doing, instead of making massive cuts like this, is they should be looking at more innovative ways and more innovative research that can be conducted at Loxton,” he said.

“So putting up ideas and growing crops and horticulture products different to whatever else has been growing. “That will give more ability for the Riverland to rebound in the future and to service the needs locally of a population with export potential to the north of our country.”

Regulator construction halts flows THE State Government has revealed that it is holding back River Murray flows of 48,000 megalitres per day to 45,000 in a bid to continue construction on the Chowilla regulator with the project costs already soaring to $61 million.

A spokesperson for the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources said flows are currently being mitigated.

“Flows to SA are being managed to endeavour to keep them below a level of 45,000 ML/day to avoid the need to demobilise construction activity,” they said.

“However, this flow is still bringing environmental benefits to the region and may exceed 45,000 ML/day when Lake Victoria is full.

“As with any construction project undertaken on the floodplain there is a risk work will be delayed by high flows and flooding.

“Should flows increase to a level where it is no longer feasible or safe to continue with construction activity on the floodplain there will be a need to delay works until the flow reduced back to a level suitable for works to recommence.”

The spokesperson said the minor modification in flow is not expected to significantly reduce potential environmental outcomes.

A delay at the site may mean more costs associated with the regulator construction.

“The total project budget for the Chowilla Floodplain Project has risen to $61 million,” the

spokesperson said.

“This figure covers all investigations into project feasibility, detailed designs and construction costs (including costs to demobilise and remobilise the work site due to flooding), as well as project management and site supervision.

“This figure did increase due to the need to demobilise and remobilise the work site following flooding in 2010-11 and 2011-12.

“The Chowilla Floodplain project also includes the work to upgrade Slaney and Pipeclay Weirs to allow flows into the floodplain creeks to be more effectively and safely managed.”

Work is expected to be finished on the Chowilla regulator in early 2014.

Restoring vegetation A PROJECT using novel ways to restore and protect vegetation at risk due to a lack of overbank flooding along the River Murray has commenced in the Riverland.

Minister for Water and the River Murray Paul Caica said the project focuses on improving the diversity and abundance of vegetation communities while maintaining mature trees along the River Murray floodplain. “The lack of water coming from downstream over the years has meant that these areas are not receiving what they need to stay healthy,� he said. “This trial aims to address that, and is a positive collaboration between the South Australian Government, South Australian MurrayDarling Basin Natural Resources Management Board, Treasury Wine Estates and Riverland West Landcare. “Treasury Wine Estates holds approximately 1000 hectares of native wetland and 148 hectares of vineyard in the Markaranka region and their assistance with the irrigation trial as well as the donation of water is vital to the project and demonstrates their commitment to the local environment.�

The first phase of the project

will begin with a watering trial at Markaranka floodplain along the River Murray between Morgan and Taylorville.

The $120,000 trial is made up of $60,000 in State Government funding, and $60,000 from the Federal Government’s Clean Energy Futures Biodiversity Fund, which is administered through the South Australian Murray-Darling Basin NRM Board.

Staff from the winery will operate the drippers in the woodlands as part of their usual watering regime, sharing their time and water between their grapes and the natural environment.

Mr Caica said most of the black box eucalyptus trees in the Markaranka Floodplain, and pretty much the entire South Australian River Murray floodplain, are of similar old age. “Natural regeneration of these trees is uncommon because there have not been enough big floods which the woodlands require.

We haven’t seen a widespread regeneration of new trees and most are of similar old age,� he said. “Large areas of black box woodlands could be lost as trees continue to age without new trees.�

Real estate agents speak out against proposed national changes

Licensing concerns RIVERLAND real estate agents are opposing changes to national licensing which will see entry levels diminished, posing substantial consumer risk.

A number of Riverland agents attended a meeting last week to discuss the national licensing concept.

Ray White Renmark principal Mark Cresp, who was present at the meeting, said the regulations will have a negative impact on consumers in the long run. “National licensing has got huge numbers of benefits especially if you move interstate you can carry on with your employment somewhere else,� he said. “The problem that we see in South Australia is the standards have been reduced dramatically. “At present we do

â– From Page 1 Previously the Berri Barmera Health Advisory Council had raised concerns about nursing levels at the Riverland Regional Hospital, with claims of double shifts, overtime and unfilled vacancies.

Under enterprise bargaining agreements, minimum nursing levels must be met and Ms Dabars said only the information from Country Health SA can help provide any assurances. “We are particularly concerned because there’s a failure on behalf of Country Health to provide us with information regarding the true picture of what is occurring in relation to patient care and staffing levels,� she said. “It is particularly concerning when the questions are put and put sensibly and logically and requests for information made and there is no preparedness to be transparent and open about it. “If there wasn’t anything to hide, you would simply provide the information and enable people to look for themselves and establish for themselves that the situation is all in order. “The failure to provide us with that information doesn’t leave us

Ms Dabars said she hopes the issues can be resolved during the meeting with Country Health SA. “We’re hoping that common sense will prevail and the information will be provided to us, so we can conduct an analysis and engage in genuine dialogue with both the nurses and midwives at the local level and Country Health,� she said. “Our concerns are always about patient care and the provi-

New owners’ big plans for hotel AFTER finalising the sale of the historic Overland Corner Hotel on Tuesday, new owners Phil and Renske Reddy have grand plans to construct eco-tents at the site, extend the venue and market a range of exclusive labelled food and beverages.

The Monash couple have perviously worked in the hospitality and the environment fields and plan to use their knowledge to further expand the experience at the hotel.

The Reddy’s officially took over the ownership of the hotel from current owners Andrew Mader and Heather Wynands after a liquor licence was approved on Tuesday. “It’s exciting now that it has happened because it has taken over four months to actually purchase,� Mr Reddy said. “We are going to build on what Andrew and Heather have done as it has been fantastic what they have achieved and we want to do a 60 minute makeover, so we can just get everybody back in here because it is a community owned hotel.�

Mr Reddy has plans to build on the strengths of the surrounding environment and the history at the hotel. “We are going to offer guided walking tours around the place,� he said. “We’ve got plans to put ecotents out on the areas we are allowed to and we are also looking at expanding other parts of the building so we can utilise that to move a lot of museum pieces into. “We already have the Spirit of the Murray coming here which is four times a month and they bring in tourists that are travelling up the river on a boat and we are looking at coach tours also coming to the hotel.�

With a chef employed, Mr Reddy said he has long term intentions of hiring more staff. “I’ve seen a lot of stories in papers over the past three or four years saying that we need to focus

There are plans to have the hotel’s own ale beer and Mr Reddy said the venue will also conduct wine tastings for exclusive Riverland vineyards.

He said it is all about the experience when tourists and locals

We’ve got plans to put eco-tents out on the areas we are allowed to.

Riverland is all about and what it can offer.�

The Overland Corner Hotel will soon have its own product range, according to Mr Reddy. “We will have our own wine label and our own produce such as Overland Corner Draught Horse Black Sauce, Captain Moonlight’s Red Chilli Sauce, our own marmalade that we har-

travel to the hotel. “We are going to be hopefully recognised as destination food, destination tea and coffee and destination beer,� he said. “When people come here it is more than just the beer, it is a food experience.�

Since announcing his plans to purchase the heritage listed hotel, Mr Reddy said the public

has been very positive. “A lot of people want to come out to visit and see us,� he said.

After about five years of attempting to sell the hotel, Heather Wynands said she has “mixed emotions� about the sale but is relieved to have sold the venue. “It has been an absolute honour and not something that everyone would probably have the chance to do,� she said.

With a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Georgia and a 10-month -old son Jesse, Ms Wynands said the family will sit back, relax and enjoy “normal life�.

She said some of the highlights of her time owning the hotel have been the forming of relationships. “Some of the highlights have been watching couples unite for the first time, then they book in for their engagement, then they book in for their wedding and then they book in for their kid’s first birthday,� Ms Wynands said.

Fruit fly pressure on the Riverland WITH pressure from interstate fruit fly outbreaks, Biosecurity SA is warning travellers to follow the strict quarantine guidelines coming into the Riverland.

As more people take to the road during the school holidays, Biosecurity SA manager of plant and food standards Geoff Raven said the risk of fruit fly inadvertently being brought into the state has increased. “As has been the case for the past couple of years, there is some fair pressure from the eastern states for Queensland fruit fly,� he said. “That’s purely because in the pest free areas and the fruit fly exclusion zone in New South Wales and Victoria, they are still pick-

ing up single flies and there are still outbreaks in many areas, so that is always going to be a constant pressure for us. “The beauty though is the only way it can get into South Australia is via infested fruit and we have arrangements in place for commercial roads that importers all have to be registered.�

Mr Raven said only fruit and vegetables purchased within South Australia can be taken into the Riverland but a valid shopping receipt must be shown.

The State Government is relying on the public to be on the look out over the holiday period, according to Mr Raven. “During holiday pe-

riods we have got a lot of people moving between states to visit relatives or go on holidays,� he said. “We’ve got people crossing state borders and we don’t want those people to be carrying fruit and veg-

etables because we aren’t able to verify whether or not it is infested and where it has come from. “We rely a lot on the community, we all have to remain vigilant, we don’t know where infested pro■PRESSURE: With more people coming into the region over the school holidays, the fruit fly threat increases.

Woman hanging off moving truck ON Monday night, police investigated reports of a woman allegedly seen hanging onto the outside of a truck whilst the truck was travelling along Renmark Avenue in Renmark at about 3.15pm yesterday.

Police investigations failed to locate either the truck or person matching the descriptions given.

If anyone has any further information, including a registration number of the truck, they are requested to contact the Berri Police station.

Application to attract visitors AN iPhone application featuring 36 towns, including the Riverland, and a 1400 kilometre driving experience through South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales had been released.

As a first of its kind for the River Murray, Discover Murray River is behind the newly released free Murray River iPhone App. “The Murray River App is like a handheld visitor centre taking you along our great river from Man from Snowy River country and Kosciusko National Park near Corryong, Victoria and New South Wales, to Storm Boy’s Coorong estuaries near Goolwa and the Murray Mouth in South Australia,” Discover Murray River director Shane

Summer heat upon us today only RENMARK will reach a top temperature of 36 degrees today as parts of South Australia sweat through the warmest weather in six months this week.

However, the warm conditions will not last long with a dramatic temperature drop to kick in by the weekend.

“A warm, north-westerly airstream off the nation’s interior will lift maximum temperatures (today) as much as 15 degrees above September averages,” The Weather Channel’s Senior Meteorologist Tom Saunders said.

“The warm weather is just a tease and will not last into the weekend.

“A strong cold-front will sweep across South Australia on Friday, bringing strong winds and showers.

“By Saturday maximums will drop nearly 20 degrees in some regions, falling to the mid teens across most of the state.”

Temperatures in Renmark are expected to drop to 17 degrees tomorrow.

“Showers will also continue into Saturday but dry weather will return by Sunday,” Mr Saunders said.

“Temperatures will climb again early next week as the tumultuous transition from winter to summer continues.”

Strudwick said.

“The Discover Murray River Trail is a very popular, great Australian drive and part of our vision is to share with visitors all of the wonderful things to see and do along the whole river while creating appreciation and increasing visitation to our magical river.

“Once visitors arrive in any of the Murray River towns featured on the app, they’ll be able to choose from accommodation, houseboats, river cruises, restaurants, attractions, clubs and pubs, golf, wineries, events and more.

“With dynamic maps, the comprehensive town facilities display picnic spots, playgrounds, BBQ’s, boatramps and more,

New focus for local Murray Darling Association committee LOXTON Waikerie Council deputy mayor Mark Ward has been reappointed as chairman of the Murray Darling Association region 5 committee and is hoping to promote the group further in the community.

With much of the discussion in meetings focused around the Murray Darling Basin Plan in recent years, Mr Ward said he

hopes to gain more community involvement.

“What we are trying to do is be a little bit more open out into the public because at the moment we seem to be talking about mostly things to do with the Murray Darling Basin Plan and there are so many other issues the Murray Darling Association is involved in,” he said.

“We’ve been dominated by this one thing which is so very important to the region and our basin but it is not the only thing we do.

“Hopefully we can now start to represent everybody across the basin.”

Mr Ward said four others were elected to the committee.

“It’s just a matter of letting

people know that we are still here and that we are not the Murray Darling Basin Authority,” he said.

“At the moment a lot of people are confusing us with the Murray Darling Basin Authority and that’s a government department, whereas we are a regional peoples’ representatives and local government representative.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Nursing levels inadequate IN REPLY to the article printed in the Riverland Weekly on September 20 (Reassurances over staffing levels as director retires), it is probably a good job Tom Neilson is to retire.

It seems he knows nothing on the way the nursing requirements are carried on at the Riverland Regional Hospital.

For him to state that “nurses and midwifery staff are not undertaking double shifts” is making a statement he seems to know nothing about.

To make further statements that staff at the Riverland Regional Hospital are not called on to work additional hours is a heap of garbage.

Perhaps, I had best question my wife further when someone from the hospital rings her up and asks her to do another shift.

Anyway, have a happy retirement Mr. Neilson, perhaps you could take Mr. Hill with you.

Ian Haigh, Loxton.

Happy experience in the Riverland IN THE past week or so my husband, myself and a friend stayed two nights at the Berri Caravan Park in a cabin.

We came to Berri to attend the opening of a traveling Country Arts show at the Berri community art gallery.

I am writing to say how much we enjoyed our time in Berri and the arts coordinator and volunteers at the opening made us very welcome.

We visited the Mallee Estate Winery and felt like family.

Our accommodation at

the caravan park was first class and good value.

Thank you Berri for making our stay memorable.

We shall visit again and tell our friends.

Mary Beckett, Goolwa.

Enough is enough FRIENDS returning from extended holidays in Queensland told of joining a tour in Bourke.

The tour driver/guide’s spin to smear South Australian claims for a fair share of water had our South Australian friends quietly seething.

He asserted that the environmental benefits of water evaporating from their huge wide earthen irrigation channels were of much greater environmental benefit up there, than evaporating in Lake Alexandrina.

That annual crops, like cotton and rice, were more environmentally sustainable than the permanent plantings in South Australia.

The deliberate deception that denies downstream damage done by fertilizer run-off from those huge water consuming crops, cotton and rice in the early 1990s, causing toxic algae to flourish and foul the river.

The toxic algae caused disease and death to stock and humans and clogged downstream irrigators’ filters.

The algae also caused town water supplies to be so heavily treated with chemicals that people itched after every

shower.

The real issue is a healthy river system.

Over extraction and pollution are its death sentence.

The biggest users, the biggest polluters, and tje biggest environmental vandals, are cotton and rice growers, who right now couldn’t care any less if the river dried up before South Australia.

Let us all pray for wisdom and courage for Federal Water Minister Burke.

Jeanette Staehr, Barmera.

Petticoat Lane thanks MARY MacKillop Care SA, David Ferrier, St Catherine’s Home, residents, families and staff would sincerely like to thank the Petticoat Lane Committee for their tireless effort in organising the 47th Petticoat Lane event held on August 31.

The event was successful and the support from the community was fantastic and as a result the committee raised $9000 for St Catherine’s.

Special thanks to the President Shirley Ingerson and her committee members and sponsors.

The monies raised has enabled St Catherine’s to purchase a specific wheelchair for bed restricted residents to go out in their bus and also purchase a Palliative Care Air Mattress.

Field Days hailed a major success ■ WINNERS: Riverland Field Days chairman Anthony Fulwood (centre) presents Ted and Susan Lloyd, of Waikerie, with their gifts as part of winning the event’s door prize.

WITH over 13,5000 people heading to this year’s Riverland Field Days last week, organisers are praising the efforts of all those involved.

Riverland Field Days secretary Tim Grieger said the event was an outstanding success.

“Everything was as we planned it and it was a great experience for the Riverland to have an event like this with so many aspects with what we provided,” he said.

“I think the cooking demonstration with Marion was a huge success, a great hit with everybody, particularly the stu-

dents involved in the challenge, it was a great experience for them.”

Mr Grieger said the dryland farmers embraced this year’s Field Days.

“There was just a complete range of products and services for the farming community,” he said.

The Riverland Field Days is an event the region should be proud of, according to Mr Grieger.

“It shows the region’s business promotion and marketing potential and what it has to offer not just locally but further afield as well,” he said.

Free mulch day for gardeners BERRI Barmera Council will provide free mulch for gardeners next Thursday, October 4, from 10am until 3pm at the Monash Landfill.

Infrastructure Services Manager Greg Perry said Council has mulched and stock piled a large amount of green waste which

can be used in gardens.

If residents bring their rates notice, council will supply a trailer load for free for one day only.

Mr Perry said council is mindful of the increasing cost of water for its residents and promotes the use of mulch to reduce use.

Kerbside Waste Collection Update This is the second article of a fortnightly update regarding the implementation of the new waste collection system to start in January 2013.

Why do we have to have different bins?

To reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill and gets buried Council is introducing a three bin system in the town’s and a two bin system in the rural areas.

By using these different bins everybody will be able to contribute to a better environment and reduce the cost of burying waste.

What size will the bins be?

There will be a weekly 140ltrs collection bin for residual waste, a 240ltrs recyclables bin collected fortnightly and if you have a third bin for green waste it will be 240ltrs and collected the alternate fortnight.

■ ABOVE: Rachel, Blake and Maltida Hentschke, of Loxton at the Field Days.

■ WRESTLE: Aiden Lochert, of Waikerie, and Taylor Elliott, of Adelaide, enjoying sumo wrestling.

Why is Council increasing the amount of waste it can collect?

Council is increasing the capacity of the collection to allow for peaks in use to ensure that as much as possible is recycled or becomes green waste. The two bin system will go from a total of 480ltrs per fortnight to 520ltrs and the three bins will be 760ltrs, this should reduce the need for you to go to the waste transfer station.

What do the different colours for the lids mean?

The bins that have the recycling will be yellow lids, the residual waste will be red lids and the green waste will have the current green lid. This will help identify which waste goes in each bin but also when each bin needs to be put out.

■ STAR STRUCK: Berri’s Isabella Jarvis with guest chef Marion Grasby.

When will I get the two new bins?

The bins will be delivered in December to start in January 2013.

How will I know when to put each bin out?

Council will send a calendar to you to stick on your fridge which lets you know which week to put out recycling or green waste.

What happens to my current green bin?

If you are in town and get a three bin collection you will use it for green waste in the rural area, you can keep it or return it to Council.

AND ANOTHER THING...

NIGEL FIDDLER

Keeping a short and sharp eye on what’s happening around the Riverland and Mallee

Swan Reach CFS Brigade’s campaign to...

Fill the Boot THE Swan Reach CFS Brigade is taking part in a campaign on Saturday to help raise money for research into neuromuscular disease.

Two young members of this Brigade - Chloe Marks and Mitch Williamson - will be among the many local and interstate firefighters involved in the Fill the Boot relay raising funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation.

Chloe and Mitch, who are also students at the Swan Reach Area School, are aware of this condition first hand by seeing the gradual decline in mobility of a young fellow student who has muscular dystrophy.

This has prompted them to run 30 kilometres between the Swan Reach CFS Brigade and the Walker Flat Brigade for Fill the Boot in

a firefighter relay that they hope will be well supported by generous donations along their course.

The money raised will help support ongoing research and the delivery of services for people affected by neuromuscular conditions.

It will also aim to improve their quality of life through activities such as camps and educational events.

About 20,000 Australians are diagnosed with a neuromuscular condition with the most common Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, affecting boys who are generally diagnosed between three to four years old.

This is a slow and progressive condition with no cure and for those who are diagnosed with it, they will struggle to walk by the

age of 10.

Chloe and Mitch will take part in Fill the Boot on Saturday when firefighters will run and shake their boots asking for donations along the way and will finish with a sausage sizzle lunch on the riverfront at Walker Flat.

Donations can be made on the day or by placing money in the firefighter boots that have been left at several local businesses.

This fundraising campaign will give the CFS and their communities an opportunity to support the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation and raise awareness of this condition.

Donations can also be made directly to the campaign by logging onto the website at www.filltheboot. com.au

Talented dancers on show Paringa and everywhere in between.

There was 3500 pieces of costuming involved and the show was described by organisers as “very bright and sparkly�.

The show consisted of three main parts, the first was classical ballet, the second was tap ballet and the final section was the jazz ballet.

By BEN HARDING THIS month’s Rosie Clark School of Ballet and Tap performance titled the Magic of Dance at the Chaffey Theatre was a sell out hit.

Each of the three performances at the Renmark based theatre were sold out and involved 240 children.

The performance involved children from across the region from Waikerie to

Rivalry on the line in football finals

Clark said the performances were a huge success, everyone did their absolute best and the effort put into the organisation of the event was of a high standard. “We gave it everything we have,� she said. “It was the most emotional performance we’ve had.�

Rosie Clark School of Ballet and Tap is already preparing for next year’s feature performance.

Grain Growers Co-op rewards its members with rebate MEMBERS of the Australian Grain Growers Co-operative (AGG Coop) are set to receive their second consecutive rebate following a resolution at Friday’s Annual General Meeting.

‘Thanks to the dedication and hard work of the board and management team, plus the ongoing support from growers, our business is continuing to expand and deliver back to growers,” AGG Co-op chief executive officer Steve Mellington said.

The resolution to pay a rebate of one dollar for each tonne delivered by members to AGG Co-op during the 2011/12 season was overwhelmingly supported at AGG Coop’s second AGM, held in Adelaide on Friday.

‘This rebate demonstrates the value associated with AGG Co-op membership,” Mr Mellington said.

“It also proves again, that we will net return profits back to grower members.” Dean Spencer, fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and AGG Co-op board member, added that “it was particularly pleasing that AGG Co-op had been able to establish new systems and grow its business while still returning a profit to members without incurring debt”.

The AGM was well supported by grower members across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales who actively participated in positive discussions about the growth and development of the Co-operative.

Those growers who could not attend in person participated via AGG Co-op’s new webinar service, which aims to make involvement in the Co-op even easier and more cost effective.

“Since AGG Co-op is built by growers for growers, it is important that members actively contribute and have their say in how we operate,” Mr Mellington explained.

‘We have worked hard to deliver grain marketing services to over 1000 growers with around 350,000 tonnes of grain traded in 2011/12.

‘Working with growers we have developed new processes which have made our transparent systems even easier and more efficient.

“We have also rebranded and launched our new grain marketing product range offering growers even more options to consider for the 2012/13 season.”

The AGM also featured a presentation from AGG Co-op chair Stuart Murdoch, who discussed business position, vision and achievements of the Co-op.

‘The past year has seen AGG Coop expand considerably,” he said.

“The growth of our business allowed us to reinvest into quality people.

“This team has helped the cooperative develop new contracts, products and services – which will only benefit our members.”

Mr Murdoch also acknowledged the support that has been received from growers.

“Growers continue to embrace AGG Co-op (and) they appreciate that we are a grower owned and operated business, built by growers for growers,” Mr Murdoch said.

“They also understand that they are our priority for all decision making.”

Growers are invited to become part of the AGG Co-op with membership forms available online at www.aggcoop.com.au

SOLAR POWER

FEATURE

Riverland residents embrace renewable energy to help reduce utility costs MOUNT Barker based Solar Storage has installed over 200 kilowatts of solar systems in the Riverland in the past 12 months.

The increasing number of solar installations suggests residents are embracing renewable energy as a way to reduce rising electricity costs.

Solar Storage partner Brad Branch said “now is the time for people to stop and think about how they can become more energy efficient, benefiting the environment and reducing their own household expenses”.

Mr Branch said with the carbon tax introduction in Australia on July 1, electricity prices are rising at greater rate than CPI. “The media are speculating that South Australia is going to become the most expensive place to buy electricity in the coming future” he said.

“At the end of the day if you are using electricity or gas, the prices of these utilities are going to go up with the carbon tax and emission trading scheme.”

Solar Storage offers design and installation of solar systems across the Riverland and Mallee, including grid connects, off grid, remote power stations and grid connections with battery back-up.

The business uses local electricians and does not charge travel costs, promising a three week turn around on your installation.

“A lot of people in the Riverland use pumps, bores and cool rooms which have large energy requirements hence their electricity costs are massive,” Mr Branch said.

“You can actually offset that entirely with solar power regardless of how big your power bills are.

“Regardless of how much you spend

on electricity, if you go to the right company they can do a design and engineer a system that meets your needs and to offset all of your electricity costs, it will pay for itself within five years and you won’t have to pay another power bill for a further 20 years.

“If you are in an area where your power goes out all the time, as it does in the Riverland, you can have a battery back-up system which is automatically switching so you don’t even notice the power has gone out.”

Mr Branch believes many other Riverland towns like Lyrup and Winkie will embrace solar power.

“They are only small towns but a few customers have put in bigger systems and they are off-setting huge amounts of carbon dioxide,” he said.

“Not only is it great for the environment but also to the benefit of reducing your ongoing electricity costs which are only going to increase more and more.”

For more information about solar systems, contact Brad at Solar Storage on 0437 005 665 or visit www.solarstorage.com.au

■ SUN: Many Riverlanders are embracing the hot Riverland sun by installing solar panels.

Beat rising electricity prices with solar power ARE your electricity bills too high?

Call the locals GB Electrical & Security to install a solar power system and start saving today.

As people start receiving their latest electricity bills for their home or business they will realise how much electricity prices have increased.

GB Electrical can ease this pressure on home owners and business operators through installing a solar power system.

With government rebates and feed in tariffs still available, solar power is still one of the best options to reduce your electricity bills.

This last electricity price rise has started to really effect businesses’ viability.

Not only homes but farms, clubs, pubs, small businesses, shops, industrial and commercial businesses need to insulate themselves from these constant electricity price rises.

GB electrical is working with a number of local businesses to improve their energy efficiency and install solar power to reduce electricity costs.

By improving energy efficiency first, a solar power system can then make a real impact on the electricity bill.

Benefiting from the sun WHEN seeking to install solar panels on his home to reduce skyrocketing electricity costs, Winkie resident John Penna made sure he shopped around.

After searching the internet and exhausting as many options for installation as possible, John chose a company that his friends had previously used.

“I spoke to friends who have had it done as quite a few of them have had solar installed and one of them recommended the particular people I went with,” he said.

“I did a fair bit of research on the web and put my name into a couple of industry brokers and I got contacted virtually overnight having put my contact details into their website.

“They wanted to know

what my electricity bill was and that gave them an idea of usage and therefore the size of the systems that will suit.”

After searching for a trusted solar company, John then was visited by the potential installers and given a proper quote.

“You do get lots of different advice,” he said.

“It’s easy to get a lot of information online, there are blogs and all sorts of things about solar.”

With his solar panels installed about two weeks ago, John said he is already seeing positive results on his electricity.

“If the readings are telling me the truth we are generating more power than we would have previously used,” he said.

“Even though the weather

hasn’t been great with cloud cover, we’ve actually generated more power than our previous average consumption over the two weeks.

“I’m pretty impressed with the performance of the unit.”

John said he expects his power bills to drop significantly.

“We were racking up $1000 a quarter for electricity, just the two of us, so it was pretty expensive and everything has jumped up by about 20 per cent,” he said.

“We’ve taken a look at how we use electricity, when we use electricity and while we won’t save ourselves the whole amount, we should probably drop our bill down to $250 to $300 a quarter which is a huge saving over 12 months.”

Mr Cockshell encouraged those people interested in every day solar options to call into Hook Line & Sinker (Spot on Outdoors) today.

A

owner John Cockshell said.

Other solar power options include a lantern, which is ideal for camping.

“With a lantern you are only going to use it at night time so during the day, if you are camping, you can just leave it out and let it charge, you don’t have to worry about extra batteries or winding them up,” Mr Cockshell said.

There are also solar torches available, as well as a number of solar panel options.

“We have a solar panel that sits on the dash of your vehicle and you plug it in to your cigarette lighter, if you’ve got a vehicle stationary for long periods, it will keep the battery charged up,” Mr Cockshell said.

“There is also a solar shed light where you can attach it above a door way so it is

WHEN it comes to taking advantage of the Riverland’s sun, that does not just apply to solar panels but there is a range of other goods as well.

Berri based Hook Line & Sinker (Spot on Outdoors) has a large selection of solar options to suit all ages.

With the warmer weather coming into effect, there are warnings to watch out for snakes and the solar snake repeller can be very beneficial.

The new model with a one off switch can repel snakes over a 40 metre diameter circle.

If there is cloudy weather, the system can be switched off and it will still work as the battery charges.

“With pets and young kids around the house, it is good insurance,” Hook Line & Sinker (Spot on Outdoors)

CELEBRATING SENIORS MONTH

Financial uncertainties confronting the elderly

By Barrister & Solicitor STUART ANDREW WHEN Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote “the old order changeth yielding place to the new” he didn’t necessarily have in mind the sort of succession planning to which the more senior amongst us are urged by financial planners and others to agree to.

The importance of having a valid Power of Attorney and valid Wills is well known.

Some of the other uncertainties confronting those who are retired and are approaching retirement are less well known.

The elderly are often encouraged to divest themselves of assets so as to: a) qualify for Centrelink payments, or b) reduce the lump sum amounts payable by way of capital accommodation

bonds required by residential care facilities.

Often these transfers of assets are counter productive as well making the elderly far more vulnerable and dependent than they should be.

Centrelink impose a five year preclusion period in relation to gifts to family members.

The fear of losing lump sum payments to aged care homes is often ill founded.

Whilst one of a couple is a resident in the matrimonial home, lump sum payments to aged care homes can’t be demanded, provided that the other assets in the name of the person cared for are relatively modest.

It is the ambition of most retirees who have worked long and hard to accumulate various assets, to lead independent lives for as long as they possibly can.

Individuals are much

better custodians of their own funds and retirement investments.

Avoiding dependence of any sort on governments is an objective devoutly to be wished for.

The European experience – in particular Greece and Spain where aged care pensions have been slashed - provides proof of the limits of government largesse.

The one form of legitimate worry for the elderly is the rising cost of healthcare.

It is proceeding at an absurd rate – well in excess of both inflation and the increase in population.

The Government needs to concern itself more with programmes treating the elderly in their own homes.

It is the cheapest and most cost effective way of assisting the elderly.

Encouraging the aged to keep their assets and therefore their independence for as long as possible has got to be the best way forward for both the community and the elderly.

Gopher Rally and Fun Day

Lots of fun at Gopher Rally THE Rotary Club of Berri will host a Gopher Rally and Fun Day as part of October’s celebrations for seniors.

Being held at Glassey Park, Berri, on October 7, the event aims to provide a fun event based around gopher riders and their carers.

Rotary Club of Berri secretary Robin Foley said the event will cater for 40 gopher riders and 40 carers.

During the event running from 11am to 3pm, there will be gopher time trials, a slalom, skills events and a parade.

For those who enter and their carers, there will be free morning tea and lunch, as well as giveaway prizes for best decorated gopher, costume and theme.

The Rotary Club will exclu-

sively be using the grounds of Glassey Park and clubrooms with disabled tiolets and carparking also available.

During the event, a local police representative will provide a talk on the road rules for gophers, a physio will also be on hand to provide tips and Rosenthal World of Motoring owner Jim Rosenthal will speak about maintenance of gophers.

Ms Foley said the event, which received funding from the State Government’s Department for Families and Communities, is just one part of the rotary service offered to the community.

“We’ve just finished the playground, which was a service to the young children, we are involved in

the vocational awards, which is the group of people going into work, and also we’ve sponsored two young students to go overseas on a one year student exchange and this takes us into the aged or disabled people as a service to the community,” she said.

“We are also involved with some projects overseas.”

Bookings are essential for the Gopher Rally and Fun Day by contacting Robin on 0403 119 650.

The public is also welcome to attend and may purchase morning tea and lunch.

■ MOBILITY: Riverland seniors will gather for a Gopher Rally and Fun Day at Glassey Park on October 7.

Monash designer’s first gopher

By ALI HALUPKA

Australian Credit Licence no: 382972

WELL KNOWN local Monash man, Grant Telfer, designed the first Gopher brand of three wheel electric scooters in the early 1980s.

At the time, he was involved in making small batches of hand-propelled tricycles for use by disabled young people.

Grant Telfer, now 80-years-old and still fit and healthy, has always enjoyed riding his own pushbikes and wanted to be able to give disabled children the same opportunity that other children had to own and ride a bike.

So in conjunction with a group called Technical Aids for the Disabled (TAD), Grant made small batches of these hand-propelled trikes.

The few electric scooters already available at that time in Australia tended to be designed mainly for indoor use and were unstable and unreliable.

From his association with the TAD group, Grant was asked by a few people who owned one of these, if he could make it more stable or more reliable.

From this he realised that there was a market in Australia for a well made, very stable scooter for outdoor use.

He then designed the first front wheel drive, three wheeled ‘Gopher’ scooter using simple electrics which were more reliable than the electronics available at that time.

In later years, a more aesthetically appealing, electronic three wheel, rear wheel drive model and a four wheel, rear wheel drive model were introduced to compete with the imported brands that were beginning to appear.

Grant’s marketing of these Gophers was directed toward the elderly and others with walking difficulties out in the general population, rather than only through medical institutions as others before Gopher had done.

Advertisements were run in the major Sunday papers of each capital city as well as country newspapers and wide circulation magazines such as New Idea and Woman’s Day. Through his Monash business, Grant Engineering, Grant sold around 1200 Gophers per year, Australia wide, when at its peak.

Amazingly the marketing style of Grant’s opened up a whole new,

much larger, market for electric scooters and over time a large range of imported scooters flooded the market.

At the same time, import tariffs were also cut completely and this aided the imported brands which were coming in at prices cheaper than the Australian made Gopher could compete.

With declining sales, Grant made the decision to cut this side of his engineering business around the year 2000.

Amazingly for this Riverland invention, the “Gopher” brand name quickly became the generic name recognised for all three or four wheeled electric scooters sold for use by partially disabled people.

Grant Telfer continues to live at Monash and still regularly rides his push-bike to Barmera most week days, still in his white overalls and bare feet that have always been his recognisable personal trademark.

Loxton Primary School principal Paul Rowe said the Big Night Out is a great initiative that has been running for

about 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the major fundraiser for the year and I think it is just the time to get together and perform a lot of teamwork,â&#x20AC;? Mr Rowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a lot of people who are not attached to the school coming along so it is just a good community event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proceeds this year are being directed into the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen garden project, which has been a really highly successful project so far, way above our expectations.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Rowe said there is also a theme to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are getting an extra marquee and our theme is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Go Local, Go Aussieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and we are promoting local products,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are encouraging people who have got things that they make or create in the Riverland to display them and they can actually sell from that marquee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to promote, particularly, the local produce so we can assist the Riverland economy.â&#x20AC;?

Loxton SHOW

FEATURE

Great family day out at Loxton Show THE 93rd Loxton Show is expected to attract families from across South Australia when it is held this Sunday and Monday.

Rides, entertainment, showbags and competitions are just a few of the options for this year’s show held at the Loxton Show and Recreation Grounds on Bookpurnong Terrace over the long weekend.

Loxton Show secretary Jo Little said the Riverland’s only event of its type is always a hit with families locally and from across the state.

She said that the almost century old show continues to be embraced by the community.

“It is a really good community spirit event and we get lots of people behind us,” she said.

“We get a lot of new members joining in and a lot of their schools get their children to enter arts and crafts.”

A selection of the highlights for this year’s Loxton Show, with the theme ‘Year of the Farmer’, are the animal nursery and the Year of the Farmer challenge.

“I think the kids always love the rides,” Mrs Little said.

“This year we’ve got Grandpa’s Nursery, so he’s got lots of little animals that the kids can touch and play with which will be a highlight for children.

“We’ve got the young farmer’s challenge where we are trying to attract a lot of the youth to come in and participate in competitions of orange throwing and flag folding and lots of different activities.”

Children will be able to tuck into their showbags as the adults enjoy a bite to eat from the many catering options.

The Extreme Motorcycle Trials is sure to be a hit with the crowd with the cyclists performing a number of must see stunts, while the extreme karaoke could be an interesting spectacle.

An extensive show program, which can be picked up at outlets across Loxton, includes the Horse-in-Action, log chopping and sheaf tossing to name a few.

For those who would like to exhibit their talents, there are numerous competitions in categories from agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, vegetables, preserves, art, photography, hobbies, right through to winemaking and brewing.

Entries for the exhibit sections will remain open until Saturday.

The Loxton Show Society Queen’s Silver Jubilee Australian 1977 Commemorative Trophy will be donated to the competitor gaining the highest number of points in the outdoor sections excluding poultry and pigeons.

Sections include wheat, wool, sheep, grain and fodder, live steer and carcass.

In the overall sections, the ‘Rub’ Thiele Perpetual Trophy is on offer, sponsored by the Thiele family to honour the service given to the society by the late Rubert Thiele who, in his long service, held many positions including 40 years as Pavilion Co-ordinator.

The Rubert Thiele Trophy will be awarded to the exhibitor who gains the most points in all the sections in the show pavilion, excluding the junior exhibitors.

It is a really good community spirit event and we get lost of people behind us.

Mrs Little said the show is an affordable option for the long weekend with admission being $10 for adults, $4 for children and $6 for pensioners and student concessions.

A family of two adults and up to four children will cost $25, while if you are a member of the Loxton Show, a family pass is just $22.

The show runs from 8.30am to 5pm on Sunday and from 7.30am to 4.30pm on Monday.

Car parking is located by using the Mill Gate and Pine Avenue Gate, with the main entrance off Bookpurnong Terrace for pedestrians only.

Entertainment galore at BOASTING a rich history, the Pinnaroo Show is something generations of families in the Mallee have looked forward to annually for decades.

The popular event attracts thousands of people from across the Mallee, the Riverland, South East and as far as Victoria to sample the many foods on offer or to enjoy the show’s atmosphere.

Each year the show keeps its regular and most successful features, while the Pinnaroo Show Society works hard to add new elements.

Being held on Wednesday at the Pinnaroo Showgrounds on the corner of Homburg Terrace and Gilbert Avenue in Pinnaroo,

the event is a family affair with something to do for everyone.

The more popular attractions for this year’s Pinnaroo Show includes the Whip Industries Motorcycle Stunt Team, Pulse Band, Cool4Kids, the vintage tractor display, the wool auction, wood chopping and the gadget innovations.

“If you get the kids there and they are having a good time, mum and dad are sure to have a good time,” Pinnaroo Show Society president Giles Oster said.

“Anyone who has made a gadget or a contraption or anything they’ve invented that has made life easier around the farm or in the workshop or in the garden,

The challenge involves a number of different tasks that need to be completed including

â&#x2013; COMPETITION: The Jack Russell race is not only quick but is also very entertaining for the crowd.

â&#x2013; HELLO: One of the attractions at the show is the horses and the tricks they perform.

Pinnaroo Show clothes and nick nacks.

For the kids, the Jack Russell races always attract plenty of spectators of all ages on the main oval. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are good fun, very popular and a real crowd pleaser,â&#x20AC;? Mr Oster said.

The traditional Mallee Brick Road is always a hit with children as they are able to visit exhibitors at the show and receive some goodies in return.

The ever popular sideshow alley will be in attendance, as well as a number of rides and the yard dogs in action.

To top off the night, a

fireworks extravaganza will go off with a bang at about 8pm, providing a sky show that all of the family and the people of the Mallee can enjoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of competitions for the kids to enter and the crafts and hobbies and there is school work, kids love the Jack Russell races, there is a toy parade for the kids and there is a pet parade,â&#x20AC;? Mr Oster said.

The show brings the people of the Mallee together, according to Mr Oster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that people have been coming to do it for 100 years, we think it is worth

doing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community needs it, it galvanises the community, it brings us all together for a day and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the one thing in town weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all got in common. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the winter some of us go and play football, some of us play golf and some of us play netball but come Wednesday, October 3, we all get involved in the show.â&#x20AC;?

Why did you decide to use Simply Events, in Berri, to hire equipment for your wedding?

We decided to go with Simply Events because we had seen their amazing work before at previous weddings and events, they do a beautiful job.

Tell us about what it was like dealing with Simply Events?

It was very easy, we had never planned a wedding

before so we had no idea how to decorate anything!

Ann and Peter were a massive help in capturing what we wanted with their professional help and advice.

What services from Simply Events did you take advantage of?

They did all of our decorating so we took advantage of all their beautiful fairy lights, draping, etc. They set up on the Friday night which was great because we got to have a sneak peak the night before.

Would you hire Simply Events in the future?

Definitely. They capture exactly what is in your mind without you even having to explain too much.

Tips for brides: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stress! In the end it all comes together and when it does, take a deep breath and just enjoy it. Have a look around and appreciate all of your hard work.

Tips for Grooms: Forget about everyone else around you and realize why you are standing there, it will calm the nerves alot. â&#x2013; STUNNING: (Right) The beautiful bride and groom and (below) the decorated reception.

The Riverlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier Caterers We cater for a small group of guests from 10, or to a large group of up to 300 people for morning tea, lunch or dinner.

With Salt & Pepperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own individualistic cooking styles we believe we offer a product of an exceptionally high standard that is beyond anything offered in the Riverland.

SPOTLIGHT

Site clearing, preparation for sheds, houses, bitumen, concrete cutting, tree pushing, demolition, equipment hire. Pouring/ďŹ nishing concrete foundations ďŹ&#x201A;oors, paving etc.

Laying the right foundation WITH more than 25 years experience in the concreting industry, Morrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concrete and Tile Roof Repairs is the expert in a number of areas in and around the house.

Specialising in concreting for sheds, carports, driveways, paths and footing constructions, Morrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can add value to your home through new structures or by giving your outdoor paving a facelift.

Business owner Shane Morrow can lay a solid foundation for a new project around the home, to get it off to the right start.

Building the foundation of your new house or shed is one of the most important tasks when building a structure.

If the foundation is not properly laid, then the entire structure will be unstable.

Not only do Morrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provide a residential service, Shane is also a specialist in industrial and commercial work.

Servicing throughout the Riverland and Mallee, Morrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has earned a good reputation of having a high standard of work and doing jobs for well known local builders.

When working on a job, there is a sense of responsibility to provide top quality workmanship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You only get out of it what you put into it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a customer something you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build at home.â&#x20AC;?

Shane said he always works towards deadlines because he is aware people want jobs completed on time.

So for the best in prices and quality results, call Shane of Morrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concrete and Tile Roof Repairs today to handle your next project.

TrophyKart Australia director Rick Bramley said the Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park is an ideal place to officially launch the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the perfect venue for a TrophyKart track and we have formed a partnership and have begun building a TrophyKart track,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bramley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the beginning we are combining it with quad bikes to bring the numbers up

and to create a good racing atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quad bikes and the TrophyKart tracks are suited to each other so it is a perfect combination to mix together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the sport grows we will introduce more tracks around Australia.â&#x20AC;?

Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park owner Tony Whateley said hosting the TrophyKart meets will be a major boost to the local economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is another six

times a year we are going to have another huge influx of people into the Riverland and the park,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We open up the place to a whole new crowd of people that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally come here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will still have the same four wheel drive track in the front, the new track is being built and a new spectator area as well.â&#x20AC;?

The first official TrophyKart race will take place at the park on October 20.

Cricket legends to tour â&#x2013; From Page 32 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a membership of 1000 but a lot of those guys are current players who are tied up with the season but we will work through what we can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we were able to get some current players like Cameron Borgas, who is a bit of Twenty20 specialist these days.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a good balanced squad together.â&#x20AC;?

Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Tony Siviour said council is committing $10,000 to host the tour, which he believes will be of enormous benefit to the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will be exciting and coming off the Howzat television series, I think the community will get behind it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council has put money up to under ride it but there are a lot of opportunities to get that money back, so we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it is going to be a huge burden on ratepayers.â&#x20AC;?

The local team to compete in the Twenty20 match will have a representative from each Riverland town and will involve some local legends, according to Mr Siviour.

Changes to Riverland junior cricket competition means...

Veteran golfers enjoy day out ■ A PARTY of 30 from the Riverland Veterans Golf Association played at the Barossa Valley and Tanunda Pines clubs on a two day tour last week and competed in stableford competitions in A and B divisions on both days.

At the Barossa course, Gordon Seddon won the A division with 43 points from Chris Berry, 35, on a countback from Robert Minns, followed by Eddie Van Hensbergen, 34, and in the second division Dallas Zeliff won with 43 points followed by David Owens, 41, and ball winners Tim Hucks, 36, and Neil Weinert, 35.

After moving on to Tanunda, Derek Howes, 39 points, took out A division from Rob Knight, 36, and Col Gladwin, Berry, David Warren and Seddon all on 32.

The B division was won by Terry Dowling on 37 points ahead of Graham Rogers, 36, and Brian Dale, 31.

I have heard of people having trouble finding a golf ball or two over the years but in this case there are reports that a search is still going on in the notorious Tanunda bunkers for an actual golfer - Dallas Zeliff.

The 74 strong veterans’ membership has the opportunity to be at Loxton on Wednesday, October 17, for the association’s next monthly golf day.

Meanwhile at Waikerie over the last week, Jack Sullivan had a real day out on Wednesday when he won a stableford with 42 points and produced a nearest the pin and an eagle on the fourth hole along the way.

Jan Pearson won a ladies competition on Thursday and then on Saturday in a stroke event, Shane Quinn, 78/67, won from Graham Strauss, 85/66.

Tim Mortimer scored an eagle at the seventh hole.

At Barmera, Jordan Wright won a Saturday stableford event with 41 points, with Justin Bannear, Brian Finn, Dennis Hodgson, Eddie Van Hensbergen and Mohinder Ubhey, all on 37, not far behind.

On Sunday during the par comp, Sacha Pietrolaj was the clear winner with a score of minus one.

Youth policy put first ■ RIVERLAND junior cricket now appears to provide an improved pathway for youngsters to progress through the ranks into senior competition.

At a meeting last week it was confirmed that the popular Milo program will continue for four to eight year olds, while at under 12 level Berri and Renmark will carry on with their Sunday morning format with other clubs to consider taking part aswell.

The under 14 competition will continue on Saturday mornings, while the under 16 age

■ HOCKEY SA held its annual presentation function at the State Hockey Centre at the Pines in Adelaide last week with several former Riverland players featuring in the awards.

Consistent North East performer Will Telfer (Renmark) finished fourth

in the Premier League best and fairest voting and was also named in the Team of the Year.

Also chosen in the women’s Team of the Year was former Berri junior Brooke Buchecker.

Telfer, along with another Renmark product Dalton Casey, both

played in the North East team that went down 1-0 to Port Adelaide in last weekend’s Premier League grand final.

In an exceptional performance, Port Adelaide won all four senior premierships decided for 2012 on the day.

Yacht club to open season with annual regatta ■ INVITATION: Lake Bonney Yacht Club commodore Peter Dunk is inviting the public to the annual opening regatta this weekend.

Shooters prepare for state titles

■ BARMERA’S Lake Bonney Yacht Club will hold its 66th annual opening regatta this weekend with long time member and and past commodore John English to officially open the 2012-13 season.

Proceedings will commence at 1pm on Saturday with a welcome by Peter Dunk the current club commodore, followed by the opening and a briefing of sailors prior to a sail past of yachts.

Races one and two for the weekend will be conducted back-to-back from

1.30pm with a barbecue tea available in the clubhouse from 6.30pm.

A replay of the AFL grand final will also be shown.

Then on Sunday at 10am, competitors from Saturday will be joined by mosquito catamaran sailors to race in their first travellers series for the season.

Races four and five will start from 1pm and then at 6.30pm a presentation tea will see trophies awarded to winners from the two days of sailing.

Meanwhile it seems funding has become available to boost the infra-

■ THE Riverland Special School’s Will Mowbray has been described as a quiet achiever but he must have found it difficult to remain focused on the job in hand at the State Dressage championships at Mallala earlier this month.

Will gained first place in his Class A Walk test and was also the overall champion in his class competing against a number of more seasoned riders.

But even though he had made amazing progress in the sport since only joining the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) about a year earlier and had been a member of a three rider Team Trophy win at the RDA Games at Glenelg in March, his success at Mallala came the hard way.

Training at RDA sessions on Thursdays and some extra riding out of those hours had him well prepared but he had to retire from his first practice test when his horse, Sammy, became nervous on being subjected to an indoor arena for the first time.

Fortunately another horse, Zac, had been taken to the venue as a companion for Sammy so Will transferred to him meaning he had to learn a new test an hour before his class.

But Will and Zac came through with his supportive family, coaches and helpers urging him on.

Meanwhile, in other equestrian news, Loxton rider Sabrina Jaeschke took out a major competition at the 2012 Royal Adelaide Show winning the Champion Large Pony Hack section riding Rosedale Wembley.

Sabrina had earlier won a pony hack qualifying event with the same mount and riding Oakland County, finished second in Hack Novice and first in Hack.

In the jumping contests for horses and galloways, Qualco’s Kym Afford had a win on Kaluna Charlie and finished third on Its Will, while, riding Jumanji, Tarah McNamee, from Waikerie, had two fourths and a fifth placing in Show Hunter Galloway.

Scouts on the look out ■ ACTION: Riverland baseballers will be looking to impress at a country carnival this weekend where South Australian scouts will be present.

■ RIVERLAND coach Nick Kuhn is confident that his team can put up a good showing at the annual country baseball carnival at Glenelg this weekend despite a tough draw.

The Riverland team will play three matches on Sunday while most of the other teams are involved in only two in a competition that has been dominated by Mount Gambier and Sunraysia in

recent years.

Those strong leagues are coming out of winter seasons, whereas it has been an off-season for our players.

Nevertheless, Kuhn and his assistant coach David Grenfell, are pleased with preparations for the trip to Adelaide.

Both in playing coach roles the two SA Country representa-

tives will be strongly supported by teammates like Nick Carroll, Adam Job and promising rookie Ashley Rogers.

All of the players in the Riverland squad will also be keen to catch the eye of SA selectors.

The Riverland will also have an under 15 team competing at Glenelg.

Meanwhile, officers elected at the Riverland Baseball Asso-

Local cyclists conquer Great Ocean Road ■ A GROUP of Riverland cyclists including Ruth Strout, Nathan Gregurke, Glen O’Brien, Ian Parrott, Paul Rudiger and Craig Spilsbury, rode in the Amy’s Grand Fondo att Lorne recently.

The event moves along sections of the Great Ocean Road and up into the hinterland hills involving about 120 kilometres by the time entrants return to home base.

Some of the Riverland group used the ride for experience while

others raced with Gregurke proving the fastest overall amongst the local group.

“The Great Ocean Road is beautiful with trees right down to the sea and the scenery in the hinterland was magnificent but it was not hills in this course, they

were mountains.

“There were incredibly steep descents, it was cold and damp on some parts of the road and some areas were mossy and slippery.”

Nevertheless, Ruth and her fellow Riverland riders were high in their praise of the organisation and attention to detail for the event.

“It was the best event I have ever been involved in,” Ruth said.

“I am definitely going back.”

ciation’s Annual General Meeting were Peter Brown (president), Kerri Hissey (secretary), Nick Kuhn (vice president), Brigit Frazer (treasurer) and Dot Voight (registrar-statistician).

Baseball SA’s Paul Chandler addressed the meeting offering some insight and advice on the sport and pledging support for the local competiton from headquarters.

Goodes continues rich vein of boxing form

Cobby Champs claim eightball title ■ COBBY Champs had a comfortable 9-4 victory over title favourite Renmark Dragons in the grand final of first division eightball last week but there was certainly nothing comfortable about its path to the premiership.

Champs lost in the second semi-final to the Dragons 10-9 after a best of three extension was required when scores were locked at 8-8.

Then in the preliminary final, they really had the eightball gods smiling on them when they met Paringa Hotel.

This time the Cobby Champs won 10-9 but only after the white ball found its way into a pocket after a Paringa player had appeared to win the match for his side by potting the final black In the second division grand

final, Renmark Club easily defeated Loxton RSL 8-3 in a result that was a reversal of the decider in the West End knockout tournament earlier in the season.

Meanwhile, there was also a fair amount of drama when the Andy Michael Memorial pairs were played at the Berri Club last week.

The semi-finals were won by Glen Carter and Daniel Stieler

over Bruce Knight and Tracy Altschwager and Jeremy and Dillon Musolino against Tony Rover and Mark Seeby.

Then in a closely fought final with scores locked at 2-2, young Jeremy Musolino had the chance to close out the last game but left the ball hanging over a pocket.

Carter obligingly finished the job to take the tournament 3-2.

Thur and Glazbrook win sees pair elevated to leaders in dinghy championships ■ MATT Thur, with navigator Reece Glazbrook, has been snapping away at the keels of dinghy champions Linton Price and Jason Gordon in various events for a few seasons but in 2012 he has mounted his most serious challenge yet in the Paul Hutchins Loan Centre championship.

With Price not contesting this year’s competition and Gordon restricted by a back injury, a greater commitment to practice and preparation in the 30HP Sports Class for Thur has paid huge dividends in round four of the championship, the YMF Enduro.

With the two lap race through sections of the main river and creeks around Renmark offering double points, Matt and Reece gained the maximum of 24 points winning both laps and taking them to the lead in the title race with 47 points overall.

In second position is Jason Gordon with his navigator Ben

■ CHASE: The competition ladder is tightening in the Riverland Dinghy Championships.

Pobke on 43 points after the pair entered the Enduro but covered the course gingerly to protect the driver’s injury.

The 10 points the reigning champions gained from competing may well be important, however, if Jason is able to return to serious competition when the final round, the Hunchee Run, is held on Sunday, October 27.

Others high in the point tal-

lies for the championship are Western Australian visitors Jay Branson and Chris King, 35 points, and Paringa’s Brent Martin and Aiden Kenyon, 27.

Also after the running of the Enduro, Matt Lang leads the 30HP Rookies on 47 points even though he did not win a lap in the event. Gary O’ Ciepa with a win on lap one has 34 points, while Chris Lang, who had a

second and first placing for 21 points, has moved to 30.

Shane Palat has a stranglehold on the 30HP Super Standards with 50 points followed by Matt Pearce on 37.

Like Chris Lang in the Rookies, Cliff Glover put in a much improved performance to finish third in one lap and first on lap two.

In the 30 HP standard class, the battle between Matt Schwartzkopff and Aaron Richards will continue right into the last round.

Both gained a first and second place in the Enduro to gain 21 points, so that Schwartzkopff is on 54 points overall and Richards on 45.

Two victories for maximum points to John Chigros and Jody Cole in 300cc Modifieds has them sitting on top of the points table, while Tyler and Robert Bleasby lead in the 25HP Standard.

Umpires put on their long distance walking shoes to raise money for a good cause ■ TWO Riverland football field umpires, Rodney Koch and Todd Charlton, will pay a $200 fundraising target having registered for the 2012 Advertiser Home Start Trailblazer Challenge to be held on October 6 and 7.

Charlton first got the idea when a customer at his Premier Sports store mentioned the event at one stage and was set to undertake the challenge last year with another um-

pire Greg Platt.

Unfortunately an injury to Platt resulted in the plan being shelved at that stage.

Platt will act as support crew for the 2012 event which contains 18km, 34km, 50km and 100km categories.

The Riverland pair will attempt the 100 kilometre walk despite only covering some 20 kilometres in practice and training sessions over recent months.

The 100km journey starts at 7am at Pinky Flat in Adelaide on the Saturday and travels 50km to Mount Lofty before the 50km return section starts at 7pm at the Summit.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to Operation Flinders and Projects of the Rotary Club in Adelaide.

Donation opportunities to the fundraiser are available.

■ RIVERLAND Boxing and Fitness Club’s Ryan Goodes (pictured) continued his recent impressive form against older opponents on Friday night at the West Adelaide Football Club.

The 16-year-old Loxton boxer won his fourth consecutive bout by defeating his 30-year-old opponent in Adelaide’s Royrie Upton, who fights out of the Renmark Boxing Club, 14-7 on points.

Goodes is hoping to gain one more bout at the football club on Saturday, October 20 before he departs with the Queensland boxing team for a tour of England.

That group leaves Australia on October 25 and will return on November 7 with Goodes locked in for at least three bouts during the England tour.

Also impressive again in Adelaide on Friday night was the rapidly improving Stephen Finey from Roxby Downs where he is coached by former Riverlanders Steven Rudd and Craig Clarke.

Finey went down by one point for the second time in a week when he lost 14-13 to highly rated Victorian Beau Penning.

Australian motorsport first at Loveday IN an Australian first, Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park will host the inaugural official TrophyKart races next month.

The park has partnered with TrophyKart Australia to create a separate track to

race at least 15 vehicles during six meetings in the Riverland over the season.

TrophyKart racing is relatively new to Australia and the sport involves anyone from the ages of about eight years old to adults.

The karts are a miniature vehicle powered by a motorcycle engine with a five speed gearbox reaching speeds in excess of 110 kilometres per hour.

CRICKET MASTER CLASS

A SELECTION of some of Australia’s biggest cricket legends will be part of a Masters team to take on a Riverland representative side in a Twenty20 game at Renmark next month.

Cricket legends Terry Alderman and Greg Matthews and South Australian and Canadian all-rounder John Davison, who holds a record for the third fastest World Cup century, are just three of the names that will be on hand

for the Australian Cricketers’ Association Masters Tour.

The main feature of the tour will be a 20 over a side match, which is expected to attract more than 2000 people to Renmark Oval.

A team of Riverland cricketers has been selected from the Renmark District Cricket Association and Riverland Turf Cricket Association and is expected to be announced in the lead-up to the tour.

The tour will take place

from November 15 to 17 with the Masters’ players to also be involved in coaching clinics and fundraising activities, including a sportsman’s night.

Australian Cricketers’ Association communications manager Eivion Bowen said the Twenty20 game is a seriously competitive event that is sure to provide plenty of entertainment.

“These guys are ex-professionals so once they cross

the line, their egos are on the line so they are keen to put on a good show,” he said.

“When you see Andy Bichel being hit for six onto a road like he was a couple of years ago, you know the next one is going to be around your ears.

“It’s always played in good spirit.”

As far as selection for the Masters’ team, Mr Bowen said there are about 1000 members of the association,

depending on availability, to choose from.

“Historically from a South Australian perspective we’ve had players involved like Greg Blewett, Wayne Phillips, Jhon Davison and Jason Gillespie,” he said.
