Report shows $31 million winegrape increase A WINE crush report by the Phylloxera and Grape Industry Board of South Australia has shown a $31 million increase in returns for Riverland growers in the 2012 vintage.

The report states that just over 411,000 tonnes was harvested in 2012, a

rise of almost eight per cent on last year.

The region’s winegrape industry is reportedly worth over $136 million and the good news continued with only a decrease of 180 hectares of vines in 2012, compared to 310 hectares in the previous year.

Estimated production for the Riverland winegrape industry next year is 423,200 tonnes with the wineries’ committed intake at around 378,900 tonnes, leaving around 44,300 tonnes (10.5 per cent) uncontracted.

Nurse shortage turns political IT IS pretty obvious that as the nursing and midwifery saga unfolds, something is certainly wrong with the system.

On one hand the state’s union is coming out and making serious allegations about staff shortages and patient care and then on the other, Health Minister John Hill has not only denied claims but gone as far as to say that there has been a 36 per cent increase in full time nurses and midwives since 2002.

The Riverland Weekly has been told of instances where staff are undertaking double shifts at the Riverland Regional Hospital in Berri.

Something has to give here.

With at least one midwife already quitting her role at the hospital over the conditions, what is being done to fix the problem?

I seem to recall the State Government also denying any problems to the Patient Transport Assistance Scheme when there were clearly major mistakes in calculations and you have to wonder if this is the case here.

The issue has attracted nationwide media attention and both sides of government have thrown their opinions forward in an issue, at times, that seems to have become more political than anything else.

Are patients currently being put at risk due to the staff shortages or is this all being blown out of proportion?

How can a midwife be delivering a baby and at the same time be managing the ward?

Minister Hill yesterday claimed the Liberals concerns over nurse staffing is just scare mongering.

Aren’t we forgetting someone here, what about the patients and their health?

THE Riverland was given a boost when the Corvette Club of South Australia cruised into town over the long weekend.

About 25 cars took part in the regional tour, where members stopped at Renmark, Loxton, Waikerie and Barmera, booking out accommodation and supporting local businesses where possible.

Corvette Club of South Australia treasurer Peter

McBride said the Riverland hospitality is something that will bring the club back to the region in the future.

“Everyone that we have dealt with up here and all of the places that we booked into are just so helpful,” he said.

“They really want to fit in with us and we are really rapt with the response we’ve had from them.”

The club turned many heads as it cruised across the

“Works have progressed and we were looking at having a caretaker in but that opportunity has fallen through because some personal reasons with them relocating back to Adelaide,” he said.

“We’ve had a refurbishment of the kiosk so it now meets health standards and it has been revitalised, so there is an opportunity for that activity to occur now.

Riverland over the long weekend, so much so that it managed to sign a Renmark man to the Adelaide based club that boasts 150 members.

“It’s always a very good talking point,” Mr McBride said.

“People see you, they give you the thumbs up when you are driving on the road and they always want to come and talk and look at the cars and bring the children to sit in them.”

“The facility is operating as per normal but it is being done through council rather than a caretaker at this stage.”

Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton said the park can be viable for a caretaker if managed effectively.

“They just need to be able to manage their hours and obviously some times of the year it is busier than others,” he said.

LAP committee endorsed THE Renmark to the Border LAP Committee under the Renmark Paringa Council has been endorsed.

Jack Gibb, Humphrey Howie, Bill Berends, Susie Sharley, Jane Du Rieu, Sue Luchich, Peter Teakle, Elizabeth Lescheid and Mark Stoeckel make up the committee.

$8000 raised for trust ABOUT 300 people attended Corey’s B’Day Bash at the Riverland Field Days site on Saturday, raising approximately $8000 towards a sporting trust.

The event was held on what would have been the 20th birthday of Corey Siemers, who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2010.

Domestic violence arrest A 31-year-old Riverland man was arrested on Monday and charged with aggravated assault after he is alleged to have grabbed his female partner and pushed her up against a wall.

He will appear in the Berri Magistrates Court at a later date.

WASTE material at the Mindarie Mine is being removed by 12 mining contractors with ore processing not far away.

The first group of workers at the mine moved into the temporary accommodation situated at Karoonda this week.

Approvals are still being sought for the construction of a 50 person accommodation camp to be located within walking distance from the processing facility at the mine.

However, it is understood that accommodation will be up and running by next month, as will production.

AS River Murray flows into South Australia reach almost 50,000 megalitres per day, work on the Chowilla environmental regulator has not stopped.

Instead efforts have been moved to work nearby as the coffer dam becomes inundated with high river flows.

Flows are expected to remain at about 49,000 for the rest of the month, dependent on rainfall and releases of water in storages upstream.

THE Monash Adventure Park kiosk will not reopen during the school holidays this week despite completion of upgrades.

Berri Barmera Council has refurbished the kiosk to comply with required health standards but is now in search of someone to run the adventure park and the kiosk.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S biggest charity flotilla down the River Murray is full steam ahead in aid of 2000 children living with disability and other special needs.

Registrations for the 2012 West End Mighty River Run has boaties throughout the state digging deep to take part in this five-day adventure, cruising for a cause along the River Murray in November.

It’s all in support of one of the state’s largest children’s charities, Novita Children’s Services.

Brainchild of Novita Ambassadors John Riddell (Channel 7) and Jason ‘Snowy’ Carter (Mix 102.3), South Australia’s longest and largest floating fundraiser is filling fast.

Crews of up to six are required to raise funds to be eligible to participate with all proceeds going to Novita.

Up to 40 boats are expected to cast off from Blanchetown on November 19, passing through Kingston-on-Murray, Berri, Renmark and Chowilla Station before docking for the last time at the end of a packed week in Renmark, on November 23.

Days and nights will be filled with activities and entertainment, and crews are urged to register by going to www.novita.org.au/riverrun or by contacting Novita on 8243 8229.

Funds raised from this year’s event will go toward building a new hydrotherapy pool planned for Novita’s

Regency Park Centre.

Novita Chief Executive Glenn Rappensberg said the complex would become Australia’s leading paediatric rehabilitation therapy centre when built.

“It will be a place for children with disabilities to receive important hydrotherapy and give them access to a purpose-built gym and other equipment designed to help them receive the best possible support as part of their individual therapy programs,” he said.

“The new centre will be a significant link between hospital-based care, and community support, for children and families.

“Novita’s pools are accessed by more than 230 children each week.”

Union seeks regional data SOUTH Australia’s nursing and midwifery union plans to seek data on staffing levels and skills mix at all Riverland hospitals following meetings in the region last week.

Australian Nursing and Midwifery Foundation state branch chief executive officer Elizabeth Dabars visited hospitals in Berri, Barmera, Renmark, Loxton and Waikerie last week, where she claimed there appeared to be various concerns across the board.

“The sense that I am having is that we should actually be seeking the data for all hospitals (in the Riverland) because it sounds like all hospitals are experiencing pressures,” she said.

“It is most acutely apparent at the Berri hospital at this stage, however, it appears the issues are more systemic.

“My understanding is that people are feeling pressured, that there are concerns relating to staffing levels and skills mix more broadly across the Riverland region and that is why we will be making broader enquiries.

“We were hearing of circumstances where medications were being missed, instances where people were unable to provide the assessments or checks on their patients and the consequences of those types of actions can be very serious.

“I think people have been fortunate and very lucky that no serious harm has occurred but that is a matter of good luck than good management and we need to make sure that nurses and midwives are supported to provide safe patient care.”

Requests for data on staffing levels at the Riverland Regional Hospital in Berri are still yet to be accepted and Ms Dabars remains concerned that Country Health SA is hiding something.

In fact, Ms Dabars revealed that at least one member of the Berri hospital nursing and midwifery staff has resigned due to the shortages in recent weeks.

“There have been particular sites with more acute issues, particularly the Berri hospital with the nursing and midwifery staff being extremely distressed, many of them in tears and some of them even speaking of resignation, which of course is deeply concerning,” she said.

“So instances with nurses working with up to 15 patients when in other ordinary circumstances you would expect them only to have eight, instances where midwives have been required to be in charge of the ward but are also birthing a women in labour.

“Nurses and midwives are pretty tough and to think they are in tears and considering resigning and considering other action means they are really distressed and concerned for their patients.”

Ms Dabars said claims by the State Government that staff shortages have only occurred in short periods are off the mark.

“I am very distressed to hear of the minimising tactics being used by Country Health South Australia who are suggesting that these issues have only been occurring in the past few weeks or months,” she said.

“I don’t think that is cor-

rect to assert that, however we wouldn’t know for sure because what Country Health is continually failing to do is to provide us with the data that we are requesting.”

Ms Dabars said she cannot rule out the possibility of further action such as strikes.

“We’re not actively considering any action apart from going addressing the commission but naturally all options are open,” she said.

“We need to protect the interests of the community and we also need to protect the interests of patients and midwives and nurses.”

Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone has called for an independent investigation into the Riverland Regional Hospital in Berri.

“I have had concerned nursing staff and concerned doctors

and volunteers coming to me saying they are very, very concerned that the ongoing issue with staff shortages is putting pressure on staff to perform a critical role in patient care,” he said.

State Health Minister John Hill has rejected claims of nursing shortages in country hospitals, stating that Labor has created 700 more full time equivalent nursing positions in South Australia compared to a decade ago.

“The Liberals’ claims about nurse staffing of our country hospitals are scare mongering,” he said.

“The number of nurses staffing country hospitals is based on a descriptive formula that has been agreed with the nurses union and is outlined in an Enterprise Agreement.

“If there is any dispute about how the formula is applied, the union can refer it to the Industrial Relations Commission, as the independent umpire, to make a determination.”

Winegrape industry on the improve ■ From Page 1 According to the report, predictions are that by 2017, the estimated production in the Riverland will be at 425,000 tonnes, of which 347,500 is already under contract or winery grown fruit.

This leaves 77,500 tonnes (18.2 per cent) as yet uncommitted.

CCW Co-operative chairman Jim Caddy said the 2012 season was “reasonable” and is predicting prices to steadily rise into 2013.

“We’ve had grower meetings and estimates and we think prices will continue to rise over the next couple of years,” he said.

“There appears to be increased demand.”

Mr Caddy said growers remain “cautiously optimistic” about the future and he said exporting to China

has helped rid of excess wine in the region.

In the Phylloxera and Grape Industry Board of South Australia 2012 winegrape crush survey, board member and local grower Ashley Chabrel describes the vintage and said there were some challenging times.

“The Riverland growing season began a bit earlier than last year with warmer than average temperatures in August and September bringing on bud burst,” he wrote.

“There were some early infections of downy mildew even though conditions were not thought to be conducive.

“Most growers were aware of the issue and controlled things quickly before any problems.”

Mr Chabrel reported that there were widespread rain events in January and March but fears of a repeat of 2011 disease problems were soon

quashed.

“Fortunately the rest of the vintage was only punctuated with minor rain events,” he said.

“In the end the Riverland was lucky to end up with possibly the best conditions of all grape growing areas to bring in the harvest.

“There were small volumes of fruit downgraded due to Botrytis and Powdery mildew; however the harvest was generally of a high quality reflecting the good growing season.”

The report also states that the average purchase values for all varieties slightly increased in 2012 with Shiraz up by $48 per tonne to $1351 per tonne and Cabernet Sauvignon up by $70 per tonne to $384 per tonne.

While of the white varieties, Chardonnay went up by $53 per tonne to $286 per tonne and Colombard was up by $17 per tonne to $222 per tonne.

Capitilising on airport upgrade THE Riverland is set to benefit from a multi-million upgrade to the Mildura Airport terminal expected to be completed by June 30 next year.

Peak tourism body Destination Riverland said the region must capitalise on the $6.4 million upgrade as a way to attract interstate tourists.

The redevelopment of the terminal will include bigger floor area to support the flow of passengers, a new baggage system and a facelift of the check-in area, with the overall terminal expected to double in size once complete.

Destination Riverland chief executive Tony Sharley said many Riverlanders already use the ser-

vice on a regular basis.

“I know a lot of people who use Mildura as a port to get into Melbourne during football season and I can only see that increasing,” he said.

“From a Riverland point of view and a tourism point of view for the region, it certainly is a

car facility access from Mildura and the airport to attract visitors to the Riverland.

“There is an opportunity for us to certainly leverage off that

expansion,” he said.

“Flights into Mildura, for us to be able to capitalise on that we need to make sure there is good hire car access out of Mildura.”

With the Renmark Paringa Council looking into the upgrades of the Renmark airstrip, Mr Sharley said the region can learn from the Mildura expansion.

“We need to make the most of this opportunity that is going on but at the same time, as a region we must be doing some homework and research right now so we are in a strong position to make a case for expansion and perhaps the return of a domestic air service into Renmark,” he said.

Bucket-list head shave to raise money for cancer RIVERLAND Division of General Practice clinical counsellor Carley Milich is shaving her head in a bid to raise much needed funds for the Cancer Council.

Carley is one of several RDGP staff members who are participating in this years Relay for Life.

As part of their fundraising effort RDGP is hosting an afternoon fundraiser for the Cancer Council on Sunday, October 28 at the Berri Resort Hotel.

Having a personal connection to the Cancer Council, Carley has volunteered to shave her head at the fundraising event.

■ BYE BYE LOCKS: Carley Milich will shave her head to raise money for cancer.

“It has been on my bucket-list to do this, but I wanted to make it worth my while, the Cancer Council was a great support to

my Uncle Red, who transferred from outback NSW to stay in Adelaide for treatment of his brain tumour,” she said.

After the shave, Carley’s hair will be donated to the Hairific Hair Salon at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where it will be made into a wig to benefit someone in need.

“I am very proud to be a redhead like my uncle was, so hopefully somebody else will be too,” Carley laughed.

RDGP have a fundraising target of $1000 to reach and with entertainment on offer on the day, RDGP is encouraging all interested community members to come along to this fun filled afternoon and support RDGP to raise money for this valuable cause.

U.G.L.Y. Bartenders supporting good cause BARTENDERS across the Riverland are taking part in a fundraising drive to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.

The annual U.G.L.Y. Bartender of the Year competition aims to raise money in bars to help the Leukaemia Foundation support local people with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders.

Every $80 raised provides a regional family with a fully furnished ‘home away from home’ for one night near a major hospital.

The Renmark Hotel has nominated Sam ‘Smo’ Brand to participate in the U.G.L.Y. Bartender of the Year competition and he has already attracted hundreds of dollars to the cause.

“It’s a good charity and something worth jumping on,” he said.

“There are a lot other charities that get pushed a lot harder and leukaemia doesn’t really always

get the same kind of publicity.”

The hotel will host an U.G.L.Y. Bartender fishing competition on October 14 as the team pushes towards its fundraising goal of $10,000.

Organiser Jennifer Abend said the public has been great donating prizes and goods for the competition.

“Everybody knows somebody who has had leukaemia,” she said.

“When you see the kids with it, the parents have had to uproot their lives and go to hospitals and the money helps these families to be near their kids and the treatments.”

The fishing competition will begin with breakfast at 8am and fishing will begin from 9am.

A sausage sizzle lunch will be held and there will be plenty of prizes, raffles and kids entertainment.

Fundraiser in memory of Sara I

T was with mixed emotions that Katey Goldner watched her niece Mia Hampel take her first steps this week just days away from her first birthday.

While it was an important milestone in Mia’s life, the hardest part for Katey is knowing that Mia’s mother could not be there to witness the moment.

“She is my only niece, I am only going to be an Auntie once, so I don’t want to miss out on anything, the walking, the talking,” Katey said.

Mia’s mother Sara Hampel tragically died from an infection just eight days after Mia was born and in a sign of strength almost one year on, Sara’s sister Katey is organising a fundraiser in her honour.

Proceeds from a Pamper Day at Karadda Skin N Body in Barmera this month will go to Careflight Northern Territory, an emergency medical retrieval team which flew to Sara’s aid.

Katey said the event will be a celebration of Sara’s life, while raising money for a good cause.

“They are a really good bunch of people that don’t get enough recognition for what they do,” Katey said.

Sara’s Life Sara was born in Loxton in 1989 and attended kindergarten, primary school and high school in the Riverland town.

Both Katey and her sister participated in local hockey and swimming, as well as many memorable times spent down the river or on holiday with the family.

“We used to spend a lot of time on the river as kids,” Katey said.

“That was a big part of our life growing up and we did a lot of family holidays, so every year we went away for four weeks as a family, around Australia.

“We were like any other sisters, we fought but at the end of the day, we were family and that’s all that mattered.”

Sara met her future husband Matthew during high school in 2007 and later travelled back to Adelaide to study as a surveyor.

In July 2008, she became the sole surveyor at the Mindarie Mine, only to leave after the mine closed at the end of that year.

Sara and Matthew got engaged in 2009 during a trip to Melbourne and it was in the following year that Sara moved to Nhulunbuy to begin her new job as mine surveyor for Rio Tinto and Matthew moved up to the small outback town in August.

The pair were married in February, 2011, in Coffs Harbour during a very intimate family wedding and not long after were proud to announce that Sara was pregnant.

Mia was born on October 6, 2011, and Sara sadly passed away just eight days later.

Retracing her steps

WITH Katey and the family hoping to meet the people that Sara had such a positive impact on in the small community of Nhulunbuy, six members of the family embarked on a month long road trip to the town in August.

The fundraiser KATEY is encouraging anyone wanting to remember Sara and donate to a good cause to attend the Pamper Day at Karadda Skin N Body in Barmera on October 19.

The pair often used to visit the Barmera beautician, so Katey thought it would be fitting to host the fundraiser there.

The Pamper Day will include champagne, orange juice and nibbles in the $50 ticket and proceeds will go to Careflight NT. Katey is hoping this fundraiser will be the first of many in the memory of her sister.

To book for the fundraiser contact Karadda Skin N Body on 8588 1120 or phone Katey on 0433 802 157.

Cheryl, Katey’s husband Josh and Sara’s husband Matthew and their daughter Mia, was able to talk to a number of Sara’s friends and work colleagues.

“Going away, I think we needed to all put to rest a lot of demons, a lot of unanswered questions, a lot of things that we wanted to lay to rest as a family and as individuals,” she said.

“For Matthew to go back to where they lived as a family would have been hard.

“We visited hospital staff and doctors and the people that delivered Mia, that was a huge thing for all of us.

“Just seeing her friends, her workmates and hearing what they thought of Sara and how they perceived her as a person, I was proud to say that she was my sister.

“For me personally, seeing where Sara lived, where she worked and even going out to where she died, I just needed to tie everything up in Nhulunbuy, go everywhere that I needed to go just to lay it all to rest to be happy in some respects.”

Waikerie Flower Show on again THE Waikerie Institute will come alive with colour on October 12 and 13 with the Waikerie and Districts Flower Show to be held.

Enjoy the brilliant blooms, artistic floral talents, photographic wizadry, collages and much more during the show, which this year has the theme ‘Year of the Farmer’.

Conventional cut flowers will be in abundance, as will bulbs, multiple and single blooms and colours of every facet of the rainbow in a variety of shapes and forms.

Church and club groups will share their expertise in large displays which have always been stunning to view.

Schools will also showcase student entries to delight and amaze

those in attendance.

Photographers of all levels are being encouraged to capture a flower or multiple head of bloom on film and enter into the flower show’s photographic competition.

However, you will need to be quick with entries closing for that competition tomorrow.

Riverlanders will be given the chance to enter their favourite blooms in a number of different categories, while there are also a number of novelty sections.

Grain and wool can be incorporated into the farmer section, as can blossoms and fruit.

The Waikerie and Districts Flower Show committee will provide after-

noon tea and a trading table will also be set-up.

People are encouraged to bring entries to the Waikerie Institute on October 11 between 2.30 and 8pm.

■COLOUR: Riverlanders are being encouraged to enter a photography competition at this year’s Waikerie flower show.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lack of regeneration?

I HAD a chuckle when reading about (Environment Minister) Paul Caica’s comments in regards to the lack of regeneration of black box trees. (Resotring vegetation, September 27).

It just goes to show politicians really do walk around blindfolded.

Since the 2011 high river, there has been an absolute 100 per cent regeneration through most parts of the river and floodplains.

Just go for a walk across any floodplain that had water over it and take a look.

Having no water for all of those years did have some good benefits, which some do not know about and that is tree and understory seed has been collecting on the ground.

This is some of the most re-growth of trees that I have seen in nearly 20 years.

It is not only trees which have

boomed but there is also the understory which has taken off.

My advice to these pollies is go for a walk and open your eyes, Even this paper previously did a story on the re-growth not long ago.

Gavin Abraham, Blanchetown.

Fundraising thanks IN keeping with our annual practice, the members of the Renmark SubGroup of the Legacy Club of Adelaide conducted a fundraising venture on September 6 and 7 during which a total of $3600 was donated by a very generous local community.

This amount has been remitted to Adelaide to be applied towards the upkeep and well-being of widows and dependent children of deceased former service personnel.

The club would like to express its

appreciation of the generosity of the residents of Renmark and Paringa, and visitors to the area, particularly in light of the current financial restrictions being experienced by some sections of the community.

Despite these constraints, donations were nevertheless willingly given, as always, to this worthy cause.

May we also express our appreciation of the efforts of the 34 volunteer collectors who manned the designated selling points within the Renmark and Paringa townships, in weather conditions, at times, that could hardly be described as ideal.

The outcome of the collection could not have been achieved without the continued input of our band of local supporters.

Trevor Smith, Renmark Sub-Group, Legacy Club of Adelaide chairman.

Are you too hot or too cold at night?

THE Thermal Therapy Technology’s innovative Cool and Heat Mattress Cover is brand new in Australia and was launched at the Riverland Field Day last month.

The Cool and Heat Mattress Cover enables the consumer to sleep cool in summer and warm in winter.

As it operates by a natural process of water circulating through the mattress cover there are no electromagnetic fields which electric blankets produce.

This makes the product much safer and will give peace of mind for many consumers.

It is a more economical way to cool down at night time rather than using an air conditioner, so it will save you money.

The revolutionary new Cool and Warm Mattress Cover allows you to

â– SLEEP: A customer tries out the Thermal Therapy Technology Cool and Heat Mattress Cover at the Riverland

programme the exact temperature between 8 and 48 degrees to deliver more benefits and the most restful, comfortable, refreshing sleep you have ever experienced, resulting in a better quality of life.

It is very easy to use.

Place the Cool and Warm Mattress Cover over your mattress and then put your bottom sheet on as usual.

Water flows quietly through the channels in the Cool and Warm Mattress system, controlled by a compact control unit that sits neatly under your bed.

The product comes with a remote control which allows the consumer to change the temperature and turn off/on without having to get out of bed during the night.

The Mattress Cover is hand washable and can be purchased on-line via the website www.thermaltherapy.com.au using a credit card or PayPal. For further information, please contact Julie Preston on 0408 856 752.

MENTAL HEALTH WEEK

FEATURE

Get involved in Mental Health Week RIVERLAND and Murraylands residents are being encouraged to get involved in the activities and events taking place in their local community as part of Mental Health Week from October 7 to 13.

Country Health SA’s Executive Director of Mental Health Rebecca Graham said Mental Health Week is a celebration of events and activities designed to increase community awareness and interest about mental health and wellbeing.

“It is important that we use this national awareness week as a way to build community knowledge and understanding, as well as trying to reduce the stigma and discrimination sometimes associated with mental illness,” Ms Graham said.

“As part of the week, Country Health SA (CHSA) provided $20,000 to the Mental Health Coalition of SA to support a range of mental health activities and events in rural locations across the state.

“This year, 23 groups or organisations received a grant to fund an activity or event in their local community.

“The activities are aimed at raising awareness about a wide range of mental health issues and are focused around three key themes of - My Community, My Support and My Wellbeing.”

Riverland Local Mental Health Week activities and events include:

Raising Awareness of Mental Illness Day Life without Barriers is holding two events in Berri: Monday, October 8 - a display of mental health resources and local community information in the local plaza including an art display by the ‘Take A Break’ mental health consumers group.

Friday, October 12 - Life without Barriers’ Riverland Aboriginal Men’s Support Group and Aboriginal Men’s Social and Emotional Wellbeing Group for local men will run a woodcarving workshop followed by a BBQ and a film screening of the DVD Depression Yarns Contact: Ashley Couzens from Life Without Barriers

Open your mind Expo Thursday, October 11 at Waikerie The expo will have stalls with information available on a range of mental health topics, including know your medicines, know your local services, know your body and know your stress triggers.

The event will include a performance by the local drama class which highlights the theme and reducing stigma in the local community, a free Zumba class and promotional show bags are also available to those who attend.

Contact: Nathan Lloyd from the Waikerie Pharmacy

Murraylands There will also be a host of activities during Mental Health Week in the Murray Mallee area and these include:

Coming Together Mental Health Week Wednesday, October 10 from 12 to 2pm at Our Wellbeing Place, Murray Bridge.

A free healthy BBQ with a range of activities to help both your mind and body will be held.

Contact: Ella Briggs from Murray Mallee Community Mental Health team.

A special place for people experiencing grief and loss Wednesday, October 10 at Cadell Prison, Cadell.

The design and building of a garden healing site for Cadell prisoners as grief and loss is a significant issue for inmates as they often lose loved ones and are unable to attend funerals.

This special place will allow prisoners to honour and grieve for their families and friends in a private and safe environment.

CORES Riverland to hold further one day suicide intervention courses COMMUNITY Response to Eliminating Suicide (CORES) Riverland will host one day suicide intervention courses in Loxton, Waikerie and Renmark in the coming months.

After successfully running two groups of sessions across the region over the past 12 months, CORES steering committee chair Val Fewster said there has been high demand for the workshops.

To date, CORES Riverland has five trained leaders who can teach others about recognising the skills and having the confidence to assess a person who may be at risk of self harm or suicide.

“The workshops are a day workshop that gives people information to know what to look for if people you know need help,” she said.

“It gives you ideas of how you can intervene and where you can go to give them ongoing support.

“No matter whether it is workplace people, family, friends or whoever, it is done in a very basic way.”

Mrs Fewster said the group has had very good feedback from previous workshops.

“Just by the response of the other meetings that we had, we know that a lot of people are interested to do the one day course,” she said.

“It gives them the opportunity of having a bit more knowledge to be able to use that in the community.

“It’s targeted at families, businesses, anybody in the community and it’s free to attend for people who live and/or work in the Riverland.”

The one day suicide intervention courses will be held at Loxton on October 19, at Waikerie on November 13 and at Renmark on November 16.

All of the courses will begin at 9am and run until 4.30pm with bookings essential to Val Fewster on 8582 1882 or val.fewster@ bigpond.com

Contact: Chrissy Eleftheriadis from the Cadell Training Centre, for invited guests and Cadell staff and prisoners only.

Murray Bridge Mental Health Expo Friday, October 12 at the Murray Bridge Hall The Mental Health Expo will raise awareness about improving mental health and wellbeing in the Murraylands and surrounding districts and will have speakers and information on resources, workshops and local services.

Mental Health Week newsletter October 7 to 13 for the Murray Mallee/Murray Bridge area The community newsletter is aimed at breaking down the ‘stigma’ of mental health and will have a Mental Health Week focus, showcasing the events running across the Murray Mallee community.

Preparing for a Chefs of the Murray feast THE Riverland Wine and Food Festival begins in traditional style again this year with the Nippy’s Chefs of the Murray dinner on October 18.

The popular dinner at the Renmark Club is this year being guided by Adelaide food identity Ann Oliver, who will work with local apprentice chefs, TAFE commercial cookery and front of house students to prepare dishes using seasonal produce, matched with local wines.

While the dinner is a traditional event for the festival, Food Riverland chairperson Dave Benda said there will be some surprises to this year’s feast.

Mr Benda said samples from “virtually every winery in the Riverland” have been sent to Adelaide where Ann Oliver’s wine connoisseur team will match them to the foods on offer.

“It’s probably the most extensive choice of wine we’ve had for a while, so we are excited about that,” he said.

“The wines and the menu are generally kept a secret prior to the event.

“Ann does have this exceptional love of local food wherever she happens to be.”

Mr Benda said the seating arrangements at the dinner will also change this year.

“Instead of 12 tables of 10, there is going to be four tables of 30,” Mr Benda said.

“Whilst groups can all sit with each other, Ann has in mind this more community minded dinner of people sitting and mingling in much bigger groups and she has a few surprises with that.”

In another coup, SA Life magazine chief food writer David Sly will also emcee on the night.

The dinner will run from 6.30 to 11pm and bookings can be made on 8586 6611.

Meanwhile, on October 13 and 14 celebrity guest Ann Oliver will also host four cooking classes at the Renmark Hotel with limited numbers available.

RIVERLAND WINE AND FOOD FESTIVAL ■ TALK: The atmosphere of the Riverland Wine and Food Festival is something not to be missed.

Celebrating wine and food THE beautiful banks of the River Murray in Berri will come alive on October 20 for the Berri Resort Hotel Riverland Wine and Food Festival Main Event.

About 2000 people are expected to attend the event, which showcases local wine, beer and produce.

Riverland Wine and Food Festival acting event manager Sue Whitbourne said the popular festival is a great day out for family and friends.

“Ticket sales are going quite well at this stage,” she said.

“Traditionally a lot of Riverlanders don’t make their commitment or decision until the week or so before, so we always have a big rush at the end.”

The event will feature 10 local wineries, a microbrewery and six food producers with entertainment from accoustic trio Enough Said and local favourite Kelly Menhennett back from her tour of America.

Those in attendance will be able to taste wines from 919

Wines, Angove Family Winemakers, Banrock Station, Berri Estate, Illalangi, Kingston Estate Wines, Mirabella Vineyards, Oxford Landing Estates, the Riverland Alternative Wine Group, Cirami Estate and beers from the Woolshed Brewery.

The food options on offer will be from Pete’s Mobile Woodfire Pizzas, The European Tradition, Illalangi, Banrock Station and Salt and Pepper Catering, Indian Cuisine and Anderson’s Oyster Bar. “We are seeing many more alternate varieties of wine and also grape varieties and it is a chance to showcase those to as many people who have an interest in wine and food throughout the region,” Mrs Whitbourne said.

“But also it is about growing the market of people outside of the region coming in and experiencing what we have to offer in a beautiful setting on the banks of the Murray in Berri.”

A new feature of this year’s festival is the addition of a photo

booth, where those in attendance can take home a souvenir of their day out.

“We are going to have a photo booth were people can have those quirky photos taken and decide then and there whether they would like to buy that as a memory of the wine and food festival and the good time that they’ve had,” Mrs Whitbourne said.

“It’s something that has taken off in other areas such as weddings and other events.”

There will be free bus transfers between Riverland towns, a designated driver program and numerous accommodation options available for visitors.

As part of the Riverland Headspace Designated Driver program, if you have decided to drive during the event, you will receive vouchers for complimentary water, soft drink and coffee.

The free buses, organised by local councils, will transport people to and from the main event on the Saturday from most local

towns and bookings are recommended.

The main event will be held from 12 to 7pm on Riverview Drive in Berri with the cost being $20 which includes a complimentary wine glass, live music and free buses.

RIVERLAND DOG TRAINING

Socialise, have fun and learn at local pooch training T

HE Riverland Dog Training and Kennel Club is hosting a Come and Try Day this Sunday at its clubrooms at the Riverland Field Days in Barmera.

The club is offering dogs and owners of all ages, shapes and sizes the chance to attend the Come and Try Day from 11am to 4pm.

Throughout the day there will be displays of agility and obedience and those in attendance do not need to register, just simply turn up on the day.

Riverland Dog Training Club’s Sue Laidler said the group specialises in training dogs in a friendly and fun environment.

“We believe that most dogs can be obedient, faithful companions if given the right attention and training,” she said.

“We use positive reinforcement in our training, rewarding the dog with voice, treats and play.

“This makes for a happy dog and a happy dog leads to a happy handler.”

Whether your dog is a pedigree or cross breed, all types are welcome at the club and Mrs Laidler said it is a great way to socialise with your pooch in a friendly, controlled environment.

The Riverland Dog Training Club has been operating for nearly 40 years and has grown from strength to strength.

After moving from Bruce Oval to the Riverland Exhibition Centre at the Field Days site in Barmera about five years ago, Mrs Laidler

■ BALANCE: At the Riverland Dog Training and Kennel Club, instructors help dogs and their owners achieve great things. said the club has prospered with many new members.

“We held an agility trial there four years ago with just over 400 entries,” she said.

“The last one was this year in August and we ended up with 778 entries, which was one of biggest competitions of its type in South Australia.

“We just want people to come out and have fun with their dogs and get some exercise.

“We can train them to have well behaved pet dogs or we can train them to go onto competition standard if that is their desire.”

Averaging up to 30 people for

But we can start you up that path and train you to fly a recreational aircraft safely and well for business and pleasure, in a state-of-the-art Australian made aircraft for less than you might think.

weekly classes, the club helps to bring the best out of pet dogs.

“We offer general pet training so people can come and have that bit of fun with their dogs and get a bit of a consistency in the dog’s life with training commands,” Mrs Laidler said.

“It is much more pleasant to have a nice trained dog that is not pulling on the end of the lead and is not barking at other dogs.

“It is also a community service because the dogs get to be socialised, they get exercise, proper training and they are less likely to bark at home.”

Currently the club hosts agility training on Monday evenings from 6.45pm for a 7.30pm start, obedience on Wednesdays at 7pm for newcomers for a 7.30pm start, with agility training to move to 8.30am on Sunday mornings from November 1.

For more information about the club or to join as a member, contact Sue on 8582 2799 or visit www.riverlanddogtraining.com The club has three different types of training that it offers and this includes:

ing them to the club as they are not fully protected against the various contagious diseases that affect dogs until then.

The club’s instructors do not handle your dogs but teach you how to train your own dog.

Puppies and dogs are taught to heel, sit, stay, drop, stand and come when called.

If you would like to go into obedience competition training, the club can also provide that.

Why do we take our dogs to obedience classes?

So that we can: • Have a dog that is relaxed and well behaved around new people and unfamiliar dogs; • Teach desirable behaviours early so that problems don’t arise later; • Change unwanted behaviours with gentle methods that are not physically or psychologically harmful to your dog; • Have a well-behaved dog that can o e, iss a pleasure p easu e to share your home, nd of live with and whom you can d. be justly proud.

AGILITY is one of the fastest growing dog sports in Australia, with state championships held yearly and nationals held every second year.

There are seven city clubs and three country clubs throughout South Australia and these clubs hold Agility Trials on weekends during the cooler months being April to November.

So, if trialling is your passion there is an agility trial on somewhere in the state nearly every weekend, with the the Riverland club hosting their event during August annually.

Through agility training, your dog will be taught to negotiate tunnels, weavers, scrambles, dog walks, hoops and jumps whilst having lots of fun training.

Puppies start on half size equipment and low jumps - puppies do not jump full height jumps until they are over 12 months old, this allows their bones to grow and set and helps to prevent injury later on.

Agility is suitable for dogs aged 6 months and over, and even old dogs have been taught new tricks.

Most dogs love doing agility and it’s a great way to bond and work with your dog, while keeping yourself active as well.

Rally-O training RALLY-O is a wonderful introduction to the sport of obedience, for dogs and owners and an opportunity for veteran dogs to remain active and a chance for dogs and handlers to get ring experience without worrying about being examined by a judge.

Many dogs enjoy this change from the usual silent heeling of traditional obedience as their handlers can clap hands, talk, and whistle to them throughout the entire course without penalty.

Those who participate in agility trials will recognise the pre-class “walk-throughs” and the challenge of working with their dog flowing from one station to another.

R Rally-O combines characteristics d agility and traditional obediof dog en ence into a new, fun sport.

All dogs benefit from at least some basic obedience training, it doesn’t matter if they are puppies or older dogs, large or small breeds.

Foot Health month

Sock it to diabetes this month Foot Health Month kicked off on Monday with this year’s theme being ‘sock it to diabetes’ – promoting good foot health care for people with diabetes to reduce the appalling toll levied by complications and amputations. Every week, 85 Australians lose their toes, feet or even their legs because of diabetes complications.

IF YOU have diabetes, it’s important to take care of your feet and the rest of your body.

Checking your feet daily can prevent serious problems.

During Foot Health Month, learn more about protecting your feet.

People with diabetes can develop serious problems with their feet that can affect how easily they can walk, and even lead to amputation.

Many of these serious problems can be prevented by taking good care of your feet and your health: • Manage your diabetes, including keeping your blood pressure, blood sugar (glucose) and cholesterol at levels your health care provider recommends.

• Don’t smoke. Smoking reduces blood flow to the feet. Ask for help to stop smoking .

• Make healthy food choices.

• Stay at a healthy weight.

• Be physically active every day.

• Take your medicines even when you feel good.

• Have your doctor give

you a comprehensive foot exam every time you visit (but at least four times a year).

• Check your feet for sores and other injuries every day.

• Wear shoes that fit right and do not rub or pinch your feet, or cause blisters.

• Never walk barefoot or while wearing just socks.

How Diabetes Can Hurt Your Feet Here are some of the ways that diabetes can harm your feet: • Diabetes reduces blood flow to certain areas of the body, especially limbs such as the legs, which makes it harder for your body to heal injuries.

• Diabetes nerve damage may cause you to no longer feel pain in your feet and you may not realize you have a wound or injury that needs treatment.

Diabetic nerve damage appears to be more common in people with the following conditions: • High cholesterol

• Problems controlling blood sugar levels • High blood pressure • Overweight • Older than 40 years • Warning Signs If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your health care provider or a podiatrist (foot doctor) right away: • You may feel pain in your legs or cramping in your buttocks, thighs, or calves during physical activity.

• Your feet may tingle, burn, or hurt.

• You may lose the sense of touch or not be able to feel heat or cold very well.

• The shape of your feet may change over time.

• The color and temperature of your feet may change.

• You may lose hair on your toes, feet, and lower legs.

• The skin on your feet may become dry and cracked.

• Your toenails may turn thick and yellow.

• Fungus infections such as athlete’s foot may appear between your toes.

• You may experience blisters, sores, ulcers, infected corns, and ingrown toenails.

Soccer’s all-rounder ■STACEY Gwiazda’s determination to play soccer as she approaches her 19th birthday remains as strong today as it was in the early stages of her career when despite there being no women’s competition in the Riverland, she turned out in the male under 16 and senior grades.

So determined was she in the season just gone that she continued to captain her Adelaide University Premier League Reserves team despite carrying an injury to an ACL ligament since July last year that now requires surgery and will see her out of the game for 12 months.

Stacey has been something of a sporting allrounder over the years and has never been afraid to accept a challenge having competed in backyard activities with some pretty aggressive boy cousins from around three years of age.

She has played Auskick football against the boys from seven years of age and won over a few doubting dads of teammates, tee ball, baseball as a catcher, athletics, indoor soccer and was an accomplished horse rider, winning a number of medals in competitions at the Renmark Show, local gymkhanas and the Waikerie Horse Trials.

But her passion has been to play soccer and, in fact, she became something of a

■RISING STAR: Riverland soccer player Stacey Gwiazda has impressed in the city. pioneer for women to play the game in the Riverland by proving competitive in the men’s matches.

Eventually a women’s grade commenced and on occasions Stacey would play in three games on the one day including in the women’s match and under 16 and A grade in the men’s competition.

At different times she has also coached SAPSASA and in the Berri senior women’s team.

Stacey’s move to play in Adelaide came after she caught the eye of scouts at a development clinic at Renmark and from there was invited to join her present city club where she has just completed her third season.

As Stacey still lives and works in the Riverland, this has meant a family trip to Adelaide on Wednesday afternoons to train and then another journey on Sundays for matches.

In 2012, her Adelaide University reserves team finished runner-up in its competition but it is doubtful whether Stacey would have led that side if she had been able to satisfy the club’s requirement for its number one Premier League players to train three times a week. “Working here in the Riverland makes that impossible,� Stacey said.

However, with her second win in three years in the Lady Neal Best and Fairest Award there is little doubt that Stacey is of A grade team standard.

Her first best and fairest success came in her first year with her team in the division one competition before it became involved in the state women’s league and then last season in the reserves of the Premier League.

Next year will be difficult for Stacey as she undertakes rehabilitation on her injured knee.

But no doubt her determination and history of commitment and hard work will have her doing what she loves sooner than later and that is playing soccer.

Mixed fortunes for Haby brothers ■MANNUM’S Haby brothers, Carl and Aaron, continued the mixed fortunes that have plagued them in the 2012 Off Road season when they competed in the inaugural Auto Pro Challenge Short Course event at Port Germein over the long weekend.

The race was held on a new track 10 kilometres long and designed for fast and exciting racing with some fast interspersed jumps, twists and turns.

Carl and Tammy Haby were the outright winners of the event, followed by another husband and wife team in Adelaide’s Luke and Vicki Erceg and then Waikerie Riverland entrants Lindsay Foster and Matt Drage.

The Erceg vehicle set the fastest heat time for the weekend.

■LUCK: Mannum’s Haby brothers had a mixed weekend on the off road circuit.

Meanwhile, for Aaron Haby it was another frustrating event.

He led overnight after day one only to succumb to an electrical fault at the start of the second heat on Sunday.

This was a round of the SAORRA Multiclub Series and another Riverland entrant to have to withdraw when

holding a good position was David Schultz who had taken over at the wheel of his cousin John Schultz’ Extreme 2WD for the weekend.

Schultz was leading his class when he hit a tyre in the final lap damaging the front end of the Bennett Truck and bringing his day to a end as a result.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Bowls battle begins

Angelo awarded cycling honour

■ TOP: Riverland Cycling Club president Lee Rasheed presents life membership to Angelo Ylia recently.

■ AT THE recent Riverland Cycling Club Annual General Meeting, 50-year-old Angelo Ylia was presented with a Life Membership.

He has been a consistent behind the scenes worker since 1989 as well as a very competitive participating rider.

Angelo is only the second member to receive this award during the club’s 26 years history, with Gordon Lawton being the first in 2004.

To add to this achievement Angelo was also the winner of the most consistent rider in the club for 2011/12 road racing.

At the AGM, Lee Rasheed was re-elected as president, Chris Gartery as vice president, Ruth Strout as secretary, treasurer is Steve Jaensch and the membership role went to Gordon Lawton.

Meanwhile, a number of cyclists were seen around the region over the long weekend indicating that the Riverland Cycling Club is preparing for the opening of its criterium season on Tuesday night.

The meeting is held at the borders of the Monash Playground in a street circuit format from 6.30 pm and is an ideal form of racing for beginners through to advanced cyclists, male and female with grades A to E involving riders from as young as 10 right up to the club’s senior statesmen of 60 to 70 years of age.

The events last for between 30 and 45 minutes and are a great way to learn bike handling skills, cycling etiquette and how to ride in a bunch.

Persons interested in taking up cycling are always welcome to try out.

For further information contact Steve Jaensch on 0409 696 876.

Booth on top in Waikerie golf ■ AT the Waikerie Golf Club on Saturday, Haydn Booth won a division one stableford, while division two went to Ron Watkins, both on 38 points.

Not far behind on 37 points was Lesley Gosse, Billy Lane, Joe Schober and Reva Cullen.

During the previous week similar events had seen Drew Schrapel, Watkins, Harry Moyle and Lachie Gosse on 38 points on Wednesday and Reva Cullen win with 38 points on Thursday.

Meanwhile in Barmera, Joffa Rosbergen won a Saturday stableford with 40 points, while Robert Formiatti claimed a stroke event on Sunday with a nett score of 69 and Dennis Hodgson was the winner of a stableford on Monday with 41 points.

The T Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

■ THE RIVERLAND bowls season for 2012-13 begins this weekend in what will be a tightly fought opening set of games.

Reports suggest that in the men’s pennant scene there has not been a significant number of player changes although, of course, the move of last season’s second division champion into first division will offer some renewed interest.

Loxton RSL with its comparatively young brigade has apparently picked up some new members including experienced Trevor Wurst from Loxton.

Renmark RSL also will be strengthened by the addition of Rick Schultz from Barmera and the return of Dennis Newton to the district, while Barmera has at-

tempted to overcome its customary problem with the depth of its players by making a number of positional changes within its teams.

Hopefully then those three clubs can be competitive up against the might of reigning champion Berri, perhaps its major threat Waikerie, as well as Loxton and Renmark.

In the opening round on Saturday, Waikerie will host Loxton, Berri is at home to Renmark and Barmera takes on Renmark RSL, while newcomer Loxton RSL prepares for a warm welcome to top level when it hosts Berri in round two.

Meanwhile, the Wagga Wagga RSL Bowling Club did not stage its Australian ranked event of recent

years but still held a major tournament last weekend by the way of a $8000 three day fours tournament that attracted a talented field including New South Wales state and junior players and teams from Victoria and Queensland.

Also amongst the players was a usual Wagga entry from the Riverland that this year comprised Renmark RSL’s John van der Wyst, Barmera’s John Morena, Waikerie’s Dixie Lee and from Kangaroo Island’s Pardana Club, Darryl Hammat.

Unfortunately the team did not bring home any of the prize money but over the three days they played six games of 21 ends for three wins, one draw and two ■ READY: Loxton RSL skipper Tim losses of two and four shots for a Lehmann will lead his team in division credible ninth position overall. one of Riverland bowls this weekend.

Local junior baseballers claim carnival title ■ THE FUTURE of Riverland Baseball looks to be in good hands with the association’s under 15 team taking out the championship during the weekend’s annual Country Carnival held at Glenelg.

After finishing second at the end of the round robin competition, Riverland clinched the title by winning a very tight final game against Sunraysia scoring two runs in its

final innings after scores were tied and then holding Sunraysia out in its last time to bat.

In the senior competition, victories over Lower North and Broken Hill

off against eventual champion Sunraysia.

The latter was dominant in winning the clash

Victories over Lower North and Broken Hill saw the Riverland finish fourth.

Phil Hirschausen, from the Woodville Baseball Club, coached the team with Jesse Frazer being named the Riverland’s Most Valuable Player for

saw the Riverland finish fourth at the conclusion of the round robin stage with a 7-6 loss in the last outing against Whyalla committing it to a play-

l i 11-1 and went on to claim the title in a thrilling final 5-4 against Mount Gambier.

Chosen from the Riverland line-up in the

Allstar Championship team were Nick Kuhn, Nick Carroll and Adam Job, while David Grenfell was named MVP. Upon his return from Queensland to live in Renmark, officials have lost no time in appointing former USA Major League player Luke Prokopec as coach of the South Australian team to play in the upcoming National Provincial Championships.

Yachts take to Lake Bonney for opening regatta ■ SAILORS at the Lake Bonney Yacht Club’s 66th annual Opening Regatta on the weekend enjoyed good conditions but were kept on the alert as gusty winds threatened to cause yachts to capsize.

Visitors Mick McGuire and Graeme Davies were amongst those to come to grief but generally all involved revelled in the challenges that the superb Barmera venue put to them.

After LBYC Commodore Peter Dunk had welcomed locals and visitors from Lake Boga, Lake Cullulleraine, Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula and one of his predecessors John English had officially opened season 2012-13, yachts took part in five races over the two days.

In division one Miscellaneous Catamarans, the mosquitoes of Gary Johnstone, ‘Bear Talk’ from

Lake Boga, Lake Bonney’s Steven Thomas with ‘Just Do It’ and Mark Pfennig with ‘The Matrix’ filled the placings.

In division two Miscellaneous Monohulls, Damien Carey from the Henley Sailing Club with his 505 yacht ‘Bolt’ showed the way, while the overall winner on elapsed time was Lake Cullulleraine’s Kym Luitzes aboard his Taipan 5.7 ‘White Knuckles’.

This Saturday will be Championship Heat One when annual subscriptions are also due, so members are reminded that to qualify for the championships entrants must be financial.

A reminder that the Murray Man Triathlon weekend will come to Lake Bonney on Saturday and Sunday, November 3 and 4, while the popular sail training classes will commence on Saturday, November 10 at 10am.

Specials valid 3/10/2012 until 14/10/2012 or while stocks last. #While stocks last. Photos for illustration purposes only.

We believe that our club has provided Kurt with an outstanding learning environment after drafting him as an extremely inexperienced 18-year old in 2006 ~ David Noble.

The number of years Angelo Ylia has been involved with the Riverland Cycling Club.

SPORT

Our sporting hall of fame As a way of acknowledging the Riverland’s best and brightest athletes, an experienced panel of local experts have chosen five entries into a Riverland Legends of Sport category. Below are the first five names in an initiative expected to be a lasting reminder of our region’s sporting success.

■ AUDREY Hefford, Sue Fieldhouse, Grant Schubert, Luke Prokopec and Mark Ricciuto will be the inaugural inductees when the new Riverland Legends of Sport category is launched at the 2012 5RM - Berri Resort Hotel–SGIC Sportsperson of the Year dinner.

The annual event will be held at the Berri Resort Hotel on Friday, November 23, with other awards to be presented being the Riverland Sportsperson of the Year, the Berri Limited–5RM Steve McFarlane Contribution to Sport, John Ormsby Coach of the Year and the Beaurepaires Peter Frankcom Junior Sports Star of the Year.

The reaction from several of the inductees and their families to the announcement was one of generally being pleased to be acknowledged in this way and perhaps surprised that they have been included in view of the large number of potential candidates for the honour.

Even Grant Schubert from Perth said that he would be making every effort to get home to the Riverland for the Sportsperson of the Year dinner.

Audrey Hefford AUDREY Hefford is no stranger when it comes to receiving presentations at the Riverland Sportsperson of the Year dinner as she has taken out the major award on a record five occasions.

A tribute to her playing consistently high standard lawn bowls over such a long period that still continues today is that her first success in the Sportsperson of the Year award was in 1970 and the last of her five wins was in 1989-90.

An inaugural member of the SA Bowls Hall of Fame introduced in 2011, Audrey has also received State Country Sportsperson and South Australian Sportsperson of the Year awards and an Australian Sports Medal among many other recognitions over the years.

Audrey represented Australia in two Commonwealth Games, in 1986 in Edinburgh where she won a silver medal, and in 1990 in Auckland.

She also won two gold medals at the 1985 Australian Games in Melbourne and a gold and bronze at the 1989 Pacific Games in Fiji.

Audrey also played for Australia

in a number of other Test series.

A state player on more than 200 occasions, Audrey’s career boasts countless titles at her home clubs in Barmera then Berri, at Riverland association level and in state and national events, including the Australian Fours in 1971.

The introduction of a Hall of Fame by Bowls SA perhaps sums up Audrey Hefford’s standing in the sporting world.

“It recognises and promotes the outstanding achievements of South Australia’s greatest athletes who have made a significant contribution to the sport of lawn bowls in South Australia over the past 100 years”.

Sue Fieldhouse BEFORE a car accident tragically took the life of Sue Fieldhouse in 1983, she had established herself as one of the best female water skiers Australia has ever produced.

From the waters of Barmera’s Lake Bonney to the world stage was a remarkable journey.

Sue held the Australian slalom record from 1974 to 1990 and in 1981 set a world record for slalom at the world titles in London.

In that event she finished third behind three times world champion Cindy Todd from the USA, after being second to Canadian Patsy Messner in 1979 in the same event.

Sue was in fact ranked number one in the world in 1981 by the International Water Ski Federation.

At the Moomba Masters Slalom Classic she was the champion from 1977 to 1982.

The Sue Fieldhouse Memorial Trophy for Women’s Slalom at Moomba confirms the esteem in which she is held in water skiing circles.

An Australian representative at world championships on five occasions, Sue was named both the Riverland Sportsperson of the Year and the South Australian Sports Woman of the Year in 1971.

Grant Schubert FOR Grant Schubert his story includes chapters from the junior hockey ranks at Loxton to winning a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, playing

playing 180 International matches and scoring 96 goals.

Luke Prokopec

as a striker for the national team, the Kookaburras.

Grant burst onto the world scene in 2003 by being named as the Most Promising Player at the 2003 Champions Trophy competition and he was also named International Hockey Federation’s World Hockey Young Player of the Year.

His career has taken him to all corners of the world including club hockey in the Netherlands but for his country he has also been to the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006 for a gold medal and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing for bronze medal, as well as the 2010 World Cup in New Delhi for a further gold medal.

Apart from 2003 in Amstelveen where he won a silver medal, Grant has played in five other Champions Trophies for three first placings, a second and a fourth and amongst his appearances in other major tournaments he was a member of the senior national team at a Five Nations competition in South Africa in 2008 and the following year in a Five Test Series against Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.

Along the way the demands of an elite sporting career have, at times, taken their toll on Grant.

He had to miss the 2006 World Cup due to a knee injury and at the 2008 Olympic Games another knee injury ruled him out of the final stages of the competition.

Grant did not play in the 2010 Commonwealth Games and in 2011 a severe achilles injury effectively ended his chances of competing in this year’s London Olympics although typically he made a determined bid to be back to fitness and form in time for the event.

Grant, who received the Riverland Junior Sports Star Of The Year award in 1996/97, now lives in Western Australia and continues to compete at club and state level after

But being a professional baseballer in America has no guarantees.

Luke was traded to Toronto Blue Jays in December, 2001, but immediately continued down the path of a very successful career.

Mark Ricciuto MARK Ricciuto was named the Riverland Junior Sports Star of the Year in 1991-92 and it was only a sign of things to come.

Already an A grade football premiership player with Waikerie, he made his debut with West Adelaide at the age of 16 and was immediately recruited in 1993 by the Adelaide Crows.

One of the more remarkable AFL careers is now history with Mark retiring after 312 matches in 2007.

Along the way he was Adelaide’s best and fairest award winner on three occasions, captained the side from 2001 to 2007 and was a member of the 1998 premiership team after injury had cruelly ruled him out of the club’s first title in 1997.

Consistently one of the best midfielders in the AFL, Mark was chosen in eight All Australian teams, as captain in 2004 and 2005, and was a joint winner of the Brownlow Medal in 2003.

He played interstate football for SA and represented Australia in the international series against Ireland.

In 2011 Mark was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame and the following year the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.

Mark ‘Roo’ Ricciuto is indeed one of Waikerie’s and the Riverland’s favourite sons and continues to support the region he passionately considers home.

Since his retirement from top level he has still found time to pull on the Magpie guernsey on occasions at Waikerie, as well as turning out for other clubs and in celebrity matches staged for the benefit of various charities.

LUKE Prokopec made it all the way from the Renmark Angels baseball team to the absolute pinnacle in the sport, Major League Baseball in the United States of America.

Surely one of the biggest challenges any young sportsperson could be faced with.

The first huge test was leaving a closely knit family headed by parents Ken and Robyn, who were heavily involved in Renmark and Riverland baseball and sport, and heading to the USA. Homesickness was in itself a big challenge but with amazing support from home, Luke continued in the cauldron that is Major League Baseball and finally on September 4, 2000, made his debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

A right handed pitcher, Luke certainly made people sit up and take notice and in some quarters he was mentioned as a candidate for the prestigious Rookie of the Year award.

I recall talking to Luke at one stage about the pressure and challenges of being on the road and having to play so many matches in the almost circus environment of perhaps the world’s toughest competition.

to effectively end his professional playing days.

Mind you, his ability was recognised by the Cincinnati Reds and they drafted him only for his labral problems to resurface and force his retirement at a young age as a player.

Luke returned to Australia and has continued to work in the sport including a time as Head Coach with the Queensland Academy of Sport in Brisbane.

Currently Luke is in the process of moving home to the Riverland to live in Renmark.
