Federal Government releases modelling to benefit river flows

how much water?

By Brad Perry

A LOCAL River Murray expert has welcomed modelling released by the Murray Darling Basin Authority on Tuesday which shows that increasing the amount of water returned to the system and removing constraints would have major benefits for key environmental sites such as the Riverland's

Chowilla Floodplain. The Authority released modelling for 3200 gigalitres and 2800 gigalitres to be returned to the River Murray after key constraints in the system have been “relaxed”. The current version of the Murray Darling Basin Plan does not include the removal of system constraints that limit the use of environmental water.

Currently a reduction of 2750 giglitres in Sustainable Diversion Limits has been put forward as part of the plan. Flow On Business principal Tony Sharley said returning 3200 gigalitres to the environment and relaxing constraints would help improve the frequency of high flow events reaching important wetlands.

“The big weakness with the 2750 was that it actually didn't increase the frequency of flows that would reach 80,000 megalitres per day,” he said. “That's the amount of water that is required to cover all of your red gum forests and fill all of those big floodplain lakes and wetlands in systems like Chowilla. “It is that sort of magnitude of

flow that also creates major fish breeding events in the region. “If you are not going to increase the frequency of flows above 80,000 megalitres per day, effectively, it means 50 per cent of your floodplain will continue to degrade.”

Applauding market decision I THINK we need to applaud Food Riverland and the new direction it has decided to take with the Riverland Farmers’ Market. As a regular visitor to the vibrant market, I have, at times, noticed a lack of stalls due to availability and other reasons. For years Food Riverland has been saying that 20 stalls is the number required to really make the tourist attraction viable. And for an extended period of time, the market has been a few stalls short of this target. Following the annual general meeting last week, the Riverland Farmers’ Market in Berri will now allow for five quality craft stalls. This is the first time items other than produce have been allowed at the market. The decision was made to allow craft stalls into the market to help secure the future of the weekly event. Other smaller farmers’ markets across South Australia have also made similar changes and it appears to have been very successful. In the past there was talk of moving the market to the riverfront or to other areas in a bid to boost patronage numbers and stall holders. Those moves failed and now this to me seems like the most likely way to push the market forward and help it to grow. Overall the market is an important attraction for the region and often has many visitors during its Saturday running times. There is no doubt that Destination Riverland also plans to further promote the market. A little diversification could mean much more for our regional market.

SUICIDE in the Riverland continues to be a major issue with the local branch of Community Response to Eliminating Suicide (CORES) intervening in 18 suicides since its inception 12 months ago. That statistic shows the need for such a service in the Riverland for many years to come, according to CORES steering committee chair Val Fewster. “We knew that the area had a high rate of suicide because of the water and because of all of the drought years, just the economics in the region,� she said. “We also knew that was where the gap was in the region, that people did want to know where they could help work mates, friends, relatives and have a bit more awareness of suicide. “I think it has been a very hidden thing often and even when

we as a group tried to get statistics they are just not there.� The role of CORES is to train people in the community with the skills to identify and read signs of suicide and then work together as an ongoing network to monitor and be actively involved in suicide prevention.

Mrs Fewster said the response to the first seminars in the region was overwhelming with the sessions booked out within 10 days of advertising them. Since then the local CORES branch has made significant inroads into suicide prevention in the region with five trainers qual-

THE Riverland’s peak tourism body this week employed a new project assistant to liaise closely with the South Australian Tourism Commission and local tourism operators. Karoonda born Rebecca Jeisman took up a parttime role with Destination Riverland this week and is looking forward to working in the region’s tourism sector. Mrs Jeisman’s most recent position was as manager of community development for over two years with the Northern Areas Council in Jamestown. With a bachelor of business and tourism management, Mrs Jeisman will focus on putting together a regional website, developing the Riverland events calendar and managing Destination Riverland’s social media commitments. “It’s almost like coming home for me,� Mrs

Jeisman said. “Things are still pretty new and they (Destination Riverland) are making some headway and it is great to be on the start of that and get involved really early.� Destination Riverland executive officer Tony Sharley said having the new role means there is the capacity to “follow through on a lot more things�. “We’ve really got to now move quite quickly and start to put together a regional website and Rebecca will take carriage of that and be liaising with the South Australian Tourism Commission to make sure that there is strong links to the southaustralia.com website,� he said. Mr Sharley said Mrs Jeisman may also help produce the organisation’s e-newsletter and be a contact point for tourism operators.

tervene with a possibility that it could be suicide, any of those that were trained were to email CORES chief executive officer Coralanne Walker. “She had 18 people email her who had intervened in some way.� Initially the local CORES

steering committee aimed to raise $35,000 within two years, instead it has been given strong support and after 12 months in operation has almost reached that goal. “We’ve got our target which is going to head us into next year but we are then going to have some ongoing funding for the future,� Mrs Fewster said. The group is hoping to expand its one day sessions to include high schools, TAFE and the Flinders University campus in Renmark next year. Mrs Fewster said many businesses, who have been impacted by suicide in some way, have sent employees to the one day seminars.

Anne’s maiden speech Steve’s Sweets RENMARK’S newly endorsed South Australian Senator Anne Ruston has pledged to support regional and rural Australians from her life experience during her maiden speech last night. Ms Ruston told Parliament in Canberra that her duty is to ensure there is a “continued strong voice for the people from the bush”. During her maiden speech, Ms Ruston touched on the need to give more support to Australian farmers, further protection from pests and diseases, achieving a balance for the River Murray and the need to review regulations on small business. Reciting quotes from the likes of Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower, Ms Ruston made it clear that she is a representative for South Australians and particularly those who live and work in the country. “While I’ve been involved in politics for much of my adult life, I very much remain a country girl at heart,” she said during her speech. “I’ve been lucky to raise my

tion is tied to the fortunes of regional Australia and especially to those of our agricultural industries and our farmers,” she said. “Our farmers deserve everything we can do to ensure they have an environment in which the great potential of Australian agriculture can be realised and

thereby help secure the future of rural Australia and the nation as a whole. “We must remove the burden of unnecessary over-regulation. “Australia’s edge in competition with overseas food and fibre producers lies in premium quality produce, best practice agriculture and our land’s relative freedom from many pests and diseases. “We must vigourously protect this clean green image.” During her speech, Ms Ruston spoke of the need to operate the River Murray at a sustainable level of natural environmental health. “The fortunes of Renmark, and the Riverland region, are tied to the river, as is the case with communities and industries across the Murray Darling Basin,” she said. “Our future depends on it but our future also depends on achieving and maintaining a sustainable balance between the needs of the river system and the communities and industries that rely upon it.”

Over 700 kilograms seized at Yamba ON the verge of the fruit fly season, pressure continues to mount on the Riverland with a significant rise in quarantine station seizures and hand-ins at Yamba over the October long weekend. In comparison to last year’s October long weekend, this year there was 205 more kilograms of fruit and vegetables taken at the 24/7 Yamba quarantine roadblock. Over three days, Saturday to Monday a total of 717 kilograms of fruit and vegetables was seized or

handed in by drivers with 227 kilograms on Saturday, 209 on Sunday and 281 on Monday. Of the total kilograms of fruit and vegetables seized, 322 kilograms was non-fruit fly host material. PIRSA Biosecurity Manager Food and Plant Standards Geoff Raven said the rise in quarantine activity could be a combination of many factors including the price of fruit and vegetables or the number of travellers on the road but he said it shows the importance of

the 24 hour, seven day a week roadblock. “Each of our border entry points are important and Yamba is one of the most critical,” he said. “It is a high traffic venue, there is a lot of traffic that comes through at all stages of the day. “Travellers that bring in backyard fruit and vegetables are the highest risk. “If they are still travelling during the night then we still need to keep the quarantine stations open to check those vehicles.” Mr Raven rejected claims

that the fruit fly warning is not reaching those entering the Riverland. “We need to make sure our signage is there, our quarantine bins are there for travellers to use and we get the message out,” he said. “It really is entrenched here in our state and that is shown by the number of phone calls we get to our fruit fly hotline. “The message is out there more so than in the past I feel, so I think there would be a higher percentage of people who see it.”

Citrus body to seek fruit fly assurances THE South Australian Regional Advisory Committee will seek assurances from the State Government that it will continue to retain strict fruit fly quarantine measures. The key issue was discussed at the group’s first official meeting on Monday. SARAC chair Con Poulos (pictured) said a number of different grower representatives and stakeholders previously met at the Riverland Field Days site last month to discuss

z

the fruit fly situation. “It’s really good that everyone is keen to try and tackle this, so it’s a really good starting point for us looking at the fruit fly issue,” he said.

“We want to get reassurances from the State Government that they are going to maintain what they’ve been doing and if the risk increases, that they are going to increase what they are doing to meet the needs.” Mr Poulos said SARAC plans to organise another meeting with Biosecurity SA later this month to enquire about management plans, further details on the fruit fly outbreak process and to pass information onto growers.

SARAC will also invite growers to three meetings later this month to receive feedback on the citrus industry from those on the ground. “We need to sit down and work out some sort of management plan, so we’ve got targets and we can try and meet targets,” Mr Poulos said. “What we want is we are going to invite growers, we want them to come in meet us and tell us what they think their priorities are.”

Riverland’s endangered fish

RESCUED Murray hardyhead (Craterocephalus fluviatilis) fish may be able to be released back into the river system by Natural Resources, SA MurrayDarling Basin in late 2012 due to improved water quality and habitat conditions. The Murray hardyhead is a small fish species commonly found within saline aquatic environments in lowland river systems of the Murray-Darling Basin. The species has suffered wide scale decline in the last decade caused by decreases in water level and habitat quality. Throughout 2009 Murray hardyhead were rescued from sites in South Australia for temporary captive maintenance. This was to ensure the long term survival of populations at some sites where water quality and habitat conditions had declined. The high flow river during 2011–2012 has improved water quality and habitat conditions and some Murray hardyhead sites

Environment MATTERS have been restored. h It is anticipated that captive Murray hardyhead will be released back to sites later this year. This species is endangered and is under increasing threat of extinction therefore remnant populations are critical for the conservation of the species. The species is now limited to just five known locations along the River Murray in South Australia. Three of those sites occur within the Riverland region, providing critical habitat for the Murray hardyhead. Murray hardyhead were historically widespread throughout

Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia but population numbers have declined significantly in recent years. The decline is due to a range of contributing factors such as llack of habitat connectivity, river rregulation, recent drought, imp provements in irrigation efficiencies and increased incursions of alien fish species.

The species is now limited to just five known locations along the River Murray in South Australia.

Farmers’ Market takes new direction IN a bid to remain viable, the Riverland Farmers’ Market will allow craft stalls to join the produce already available. Food Riverland, the overarching body of the market, decided to edit the charter at its annual ■ The Riverland Farmers’ general meeting last week Market will now have to include the provision of craft stalls. a maximum of five quality craft stalls at the Berri based weekly event. Food Riverland chairman Dave Benda said the additional craft stalls, while it may not be accepted by some people, could make the market more viable and secure its future. “We had, for some months, been revamping the market charter and that was accepted and what the significant thing in there is that it is now going to accept a small number of genuine local Riverland crafts,” he said.

“We just think that we do need four or five more stalls each week to ensure our sustainability and we just don’t seem to be able to pick that up with food items. “The committee will decide what is acceptable and what’s not acceptable but having said that, it is not in the real spirit of farmers’ markets and some people don’t want it to happen.” Mr Benda revealed that the market was just “a handful of dollars” in front for last year’s financials. He said the additional stalls may help make the event more profitable. “The South East, some months ago, changed their market to a growers and producers market so they allowed craft to come into the system as well, much the same as we have,” Mr Benda said. “I’ve just noticed

recently, the Adelaide Hills have now introduced once a month craft to theirs as well. “We are going to try it for six months and see what happens, if it doesn’t seem to be what we want, we won’t do it anymore. “We still reckon we need 20 stalls a week to really be viable and we figure that we really want to have 15 or 16 being food, so it is predominantly still a farmers’ market. “We just feel that if we can get those extra stalls each week, it is going to secure our safety to remain.” During the AGM, Mr Benda was re-elected as chairman of Food Riverland with Phil Sims as deputy chairman.

Chefs of the Murray to move to

April in the future? THE organising body of Chefs of the Murray, Food Riverland, is considering moving the popular event from its traditional combination with the Riverland Wine and Food Festival. Instead of being held in October, Food Riverland is “seriously considering” moving the event to April to fall in line with Tasting Australia celebrations. Currently Tasting Australia is held every two years and Food Riverland chairman Dave Benda said moving Chefs of the Murray to April in the future would have many benefits. “By aligning ourselves with Tasting Australia that will give us more chance to have contact with people across Australia,” he said.

Table holds fascinating, rare history

WITNESS THE IMPOSSIBLE

DURING World War II, about 60 young teenagers decided to scrawl their signatures across a solid table. Now 71 years on, the remarkably preserved signatures still remain and are now part of a rare piece of history that those who signed the table would never have imagined. The table comes from one of the Riverland’s oldest businesses, Adrienne’s Frock Salon in Berri, where the piece of furniture was covered over with a piece of lino. Normally pencil signatures would rub off or fade away but the lino covering has preserved the markings, making a number of signatures clearly visible. Berri man Alan Delaine, who grew up in Winkie, has possession of the table and believes he recognises about 75 per cent of the signatures from Riverland towns of Berri, Barmera, Monash, Loveday and Winkie. “I’m a bit interested because of all the names and there is a date there which dates it the second of January, 1941,” Mr Delaine said. “About 75 per cent of the names, I know the people, unfortunately a lot of them are deceased but there is a few that are still alive.” In fact, Mr Delaine lived next to a familiar name etched into the fine wood of the table.

“Our neighbours at Winkie were the Andrews family, which was a big family, and there is at least three of the Andrews (signatures) here,” he said. There also appears to be a number of signatures on the table from Adelaide residents and one from what appears to be service personnel from Townsville, Queensland. While Mr Delaine has his own theories about how the table came to be signed by so many names from across a variety of Riverland towns, he is hoping the public can help piece together the real story of the table. “I, myself, think that it was possibly at a war function or a big social function and these teenage kids happened to be sitting around it and signed their names on the table,” he said. “I’d like to know if there is anybody alivee that can remember thiss time when everybodyy signed their names on this table.” If you would like more information about the rare piece of Riverland history or recognise the surnames of the signatures on the table, contact Alan on 8582 3785.

Members happy to pass the baton onto state’s new body

Citrus group formally wound up AFTER more than a decade in operation, Citrus Growers of South Australia was formally wound up at a special meeting held last week with reserve funds to be passed on to the state’s new citrus body. One part-time staff member will no longer have a job as part of the group being formally wound up and the Wilson street office will close. Citrus Growers of South Australia chairman Mark Chown, who has been involved with the group since its inception, said he wishes the new citrus body, South Australian Regional Advisory Committee (SARAC), all the best. “Citrus Growers of SA recognise that there is duplication happening in the state and nationally, so for us it was a decision we consciously made to form one organisation in the state and the members decided it was best to have one organisation,” he said. “Any reserve funds that are left from our group are being passed on to SARAC to give them

■ CLOSED: The Citrus Growers of South Australia office on Wilson Street in Berri will be no more after the organisation was formally wound up last week.

Community invited to apply for native vegetation management funding more opportunity. “We wish them all the best and we look forward to their running of the state’s grower body.” While Mr Chown admitted the citrus industry provided the group with many challenges, he said he is proud of what the organisation achieved. “We didn’t always have an easy time with returns at the moment less than acceptable, however, it was an honour for us to represent growers,” he said. “We used to be affiliated with the

national peak body but as the national peak body restructured itself we found we were less than effective by being on our own, so it was natural that the national peak body formed a group here.” Mr Chown said some of the organisation’s highlights include holding large citrus conferences and being active in fruit fly quarantine which helped open up international markets. He said he would like to thank the committee and manager Anne Stepien for her tireless efforts.

Still waiting on Futures Fund announcement THE State Government is still assessing applications and a release date on the announcement of recipients for the remaining $10.1 million of the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund is yet to be set. Acting Regional Development Minister Patrick Conlon said the applicants will be advised if they are successful in the “fourth quarter of 2012”. Previously it was revealed that there were 18 expressions of interest to the fund seeking a total of around $16.5 million. There is speculation that Minister Gail Gago will make the an-

nouncement when she returns from leave. However, Minister Conlon said applications are still being assessed. “There has been a good response to the expression of interest process with a number being invited to lodge a full application,” he said. “These are currently being assessed.” While unable to comment on the applications and the industry fields they cover, Minister Conlon said the funding is vital to the region. “The Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund provides financial support to projects that are a priority for community and economic

development within the Riverland,” he said. “Although accessible by organisations and businesses to fund projects that improve infrastructure, support industry attraction and help grow existing businesses, the fund targets Riverland Regional Prospectus priorities including tourism, education, local business development, food and beverage, pre-retirement, retirement and immigration. “Projects are assessed as against the fund’s criteria after the Murraylands Riverland Regional Development Australia has provided its assessment of whether the project helps fulfill the Regional Roadmap.”

Southern Mallee BushBids MURRAY BRIDGE TO PINNAROO Southern Mallee BushBids aims to maintain and enhance the biodiversity values of the area by establishing long-term protection and conservation management through conservation agreements with private landholders. Landholders within the Southern Mallee BushBids boundary, with areas of native vegetation on their property, are invited to apply for funding for native vegetation management. Landholders will set their own price for the management services they are prepared to undertake to protect and improve their native vegetation. This price will form the basis of a tender, and will be compared against tenders from all other participating landholders. Successful tenders will be those that offer the best value for money. The northern boundary of the Southern Mallee BushBids project area extends approximately from Murray Bridge to Karoonda and the South Australian/Victorian border. The project area extends south to Ngarkat Conservation Park and the SA Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management region boundary. An information brochure, including a map of the Southern Mallee BushBids boundary can be viewed online at: www.samdbnrm.sa.gov.au To find out more about Southern Mallee BushBids call 1300 847 450 or attend one of the information sessions listed below.

Barmera man forced to “wet the bed” A BARMERA man has claimed he was forced to “wet the bed” due to a lack of attention from nurses after being rushed to the Riverland Regional Hospital in Berri. In a letter to the editor, the man, who did not wished to be named for fear of retribution, said the care and attention when being taken to the hospital was first class but he began having problems once he was admitted to the ward. “I was put onto a monitoring machine, which was all good until I needed to use a bottle for which I range the bell,” he wrote. “It took almost 20 minutes for a

nurse to answer the bell. “She asked ‘what do you want?’. “I stated that I needed to use a bottle and she replied, “Is that all?”. “It took another 15 minutes plus for the bottle to arrive (and) by this time I could not hold on any longer and shamefully I wet the bed. “When the nurse arrived with the bottle I told her what had happened, she replied, “Well, that was a waste of time, wasn’t it?”. “It took another three hours before my bed was changed by the next lot of nurses who came on duty.” Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said since the issue has come

BLD 182130

to light he has had several patients and staff members approach him to tell of incidents at the Berri based hospital. “I’m dealing with fatigued staff and patients who have been sent home still ill only to have come back and be diagnosed with serious illnesses,” he said. It is understood the Berri Barmera Health Advisory Council plans to further discuss the situation at a meeting at the end of the month. It is also understood that Director of Nursing at the hospital Sally Cameron has just returned from leave.

Healthier river under new modelling ■ From Page 1 Mr Sharley said anything under the 3200 gigalitre figure returning to the environment would not fulfill important targets. “The fact they are looking at an increased volume, 3200 gigalitres, that's really encouraging because it also means we will have the potential to increase the frequency of 80,000 megalitre per day flows,” he said. “If we are a region that prides itself on having a healthy River Murray with great bird life, beautiful red gum forests that you can go walking and canoeing in, where you can come to the region and catch a fish and a yabby and all of those things, then these are just the sort of events that you need. “There is a lot of good science that underpins that statement and the Goyder Institute report was one of those reports that gave us the heads up that 2750 just didn't do it for large significant areas of floodplain.” However, Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said the new modelling does not address the economic and social impacts on food producers and regional communities. He said 3200 gigaltires was just another number untested against the economic, social and environmental realities of the Basin. “The question left unanswered is what this means for South Australia’s sustainable diversion limit (SDL),” Mr Whetstone said. “It will probably mean a further reduction in the amount of water available for food producers and regional communities. “We have already given up around 120 gigalitres and 6000 hectares of land have gone out of production in the Riverland.” Mr Whetstone said unspent funds from the $5.8 billion Sustainable Rural Water Use and Infrastructure Program must be used to reduce water waste in the basin without compromising food production. “This money can’t just sit there

while the Commonwealth buys up more water entitlements and reduces food production,” he said. “The $400 million allocated to reduce evaporation losses at the Menindee Lakes five years ago has not been spent. “These projects must go ahead. “The Riverland provides an excellent working example of efficient water delivery that needs to be emulated across the Basin.” South Australian River Communities spokesman Ben Haslett said the new modelling is just information at this stage. “It’s just the production of a new model, it is not in fact numbers that the MBDA are including in the current plan, nor has (Federal Water) Minister (Tony) Burke adopted it,” he said. “The new modelling information shows much better results for river health than we’ve previously seen, especially in the 3200 gigalitre case, so that’s a positive thing but the big challenge is to deliver that as part of a big picture.” Mr Haslett said the outcome for the Riverland and South Australia must be balanced. “We don’t have an opinion about an exact number on the water, that’s really not something we are qualified to do, what we do have an opinion on is that we all want to continue to grow food, we want to make sure our towns grow and prosper and we have a healthy river and that’s really up to the MBDA and Minister Burke to work out what flows are required to do that and they have to balance it out.” Family First MLC Robert Brokenshire said South Australia and the Riverland's prior efficiency gains compared to interstate conterparts has still not been recognised. “The Federal Government have done very well out of the efficiencies South Australia achieved in the past,” he said. “It is now important the Federal Government provides funding to South Australian irrigators to complement our past improvements.

“South Australians still need to get their high security water flows that we have missed out against the eastern states in successive years.” The State Government will campaign for 3200 gigalitres to be returned to the River Murray after the modelling demonstrated that the larger volume of water can provide for a healthy river, according to Premier Jay Weatherill. Mr Weatherill said the new Murray-Darling Basin Authority modelling has confirmed that the proposed 2750 gigalitres is not enough water to secure the long-term health of the river system and that an additional 450 gigalitres - 450 billion litres - is needed. He said scientific analysis backs South Australia’s position and shows the benefits achieved by 3200 gigalitres will be maximised when constraints – artificial barriers to water flow, such as rules on dam releases and maximum flow restrictions - are relaxed. “We have always known that the proposed 2750 gigalitres was simply not enough for a healthy river,” Mr Weatherill said. “This is why we demanded this modelling be undertaken. “Today we have been shown 450 billion reasons why we have fought for the Murray and why we will keep fighting for it. “Today I am announcing that South Australia will campaign for at least 3200 gigalitres to get our fair share.” Mr Weatherill said the latest analysis finds that 17 out of the Authority's 18 environmental watering requirements for floodplains in South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria would be met if 3200 gigalitres were returned and constraints relaxed. “Under the 2750 gigalitres proposal in the draft Basin Plan just 11 out of these 18 requirements would be met,” he said. “However, the 3200 gigalitre water recovery target does not fully address the effects of over allocation.”

Century old band calls for members THE Riverland Brass Band is calling on more players and a musical director as it seeks to secure its ongoing future after more than 100 years providing entertainment at events across the Riverland. While the band has enough numbers to continue playing, key positions are yet to be filled, including the musical director after Roy Pettifer stood down following nine years in the role. During the recent Riverland Brass annual general meeting it was reported that engagements and the annual income for the the past 12 months had been down on previous years but the band still remained in a reasonable position. After being involved with Riverland Brass for 50 years, 80-year-old Ted Townsend was elected as president, Del Kaesler was re-elected as secretary, Neil Kruschel was again awarded the role of treasurer and Ron Kohler agreed to be the interim musical director. During the meeting, Mr Townsend and Dorothy Petti-

grew received a South Australian Band Association Badge of Merit for their contributions to the Riverland group. Mr Townsend said the award was unexpected. “It was certainly something out of the blue because my association with Riverland Brass has been on and off due to my business ventures but I’ve always liked to carry on and play and help,” he said. “I’ve gained a lot personally out of it.” Mr Townsend is urging people to become involved in the band, so it remains strong into the future. “There is opportunities for us to play but we can’t fulfill the engagements because we don’t have enough people in the key positions,” he said. Interim musical director and Riverland Brass committee member Ron Kohler said the group provides training for anyone interested, completing 34 practices last year. “Whilst still able to perform at this time, our band desperately needs new players to build up

our numbers and guarantee we survive into the future,” he said. “What would Anzac Day be without a brass band? “What would so many of our community events be like without us playing? “So many country areas that used to have the community brass bands don’t have that anymore. “We need to promote our-

selves as a musical group opportunity for any musicians from any musical persuasion to come and join us.” The band also recently received a community grant from the Renmark Paringa Council to purchase 22 new music stands. If you would like more information about the Riverland Brass Band contact Ted on 8595 1331 or Neil on 8584 7728.

Applications open for 2012/13 Riverland and Mallee Vocational Awards FOR the first time under the wing of the Rotary Club of Berri in 2010/11, the Riverland and Mallee Vocational Awards were a resounding success with over 30 applications. Now in its 29th year, Riverlanders are being encouraged to apply for the 2011/12 awards before the closing date of October 22.

The event had previously been held by the Rotary Club of Renmark before the Berri Rotary Club successfully took it over for the most recent awards. Riverland and Mallee Vocational Awards co-ordinator Andrew Gower said the event is important to acknowledge those people

going an extra mile in their chosen careers. “It’s just a great way of acknowledging those people that are undertaking some further study, getting qualifications for themselves and upskilling themselves,” he said. People can apply in the categories of apprentice of the year, trainee of the

year, school based apprentice of the year and vocational education student of the year. The awards night will be held in Renmark on February 8 next year. To submit an application, visit Business SA in Berri or go to www.riverlandvocationalawards. com.au

Berri Barmera Council to undertake hard waste rubbish collection THE Berri Barmera Council will undertake a hard waste rubbish collection from residential properties in the townships of Berri, Barmera, Glossop, Monash, Cobdogla and Loveday from Monday, October 22. Environmental services staff will be working closely with council’s collection contractor to ensure the pick up goes ahead in a smooth and orderly fashion, according to Mayor

Peter Hunt. Residents in Berri and Barmera are advised that their hard waste must be stacked neatly on the verge in front of their property by 6am on the Monday of the week set down for collection. Collection will commence on from October 22 to 26 for Berri, October 29 for Glossop and Monash, October 30 to November 1

for Barmera and November 2 for Cobdogla and Loveday. Council’s collection contractor’s truck will only collect from each street once during the week. A letter drop advising of what can and can’t be collected will be distributed to residents of townships prior to the collection and can also be downloaded from Council’s website from October 15.

Locals urged to take advantage of mining boom through training THE Australian Training Alliance will be in Berri from October 22 to November 2 delivering free training in commercial cleaning under the Skills for All program. The Certificate II in Asset Maintenance (Cleaning Operations) course is held over 10 days and covers 11 units leading to the qualification. There are many job

pathways available to people completing this course and one that is quite relevant to residents of the Riverland is possible careers in the mining industry supporting camp services. “Campies” are employees who attend to domestic and commercial cleaning duties within the mine camp with jobs such as room cleaning, supporting

Closer to home, there are opportunities working as domestic cleaners for aged care providers and agencies as well as commercial cleaning companies servicing

business offices, government departments and schools. The flexibility to work part time ties in well with managing a work/life balance especially for parents returning to the workforce.

Kerbside Waste Collection Update This is the third article of a fortnightly update regarding the implementation of the new waste collection system to start in January 2013. What bin do I put out each week? The smaller 140ltr bin with the red lid will be able to be put out each week, with the recycling on a fortnightly basis? Why is the bin smaller? To reduce the cost for disposal and encourage resident to recycle and put their green waste out we have smaller bin. Overall you will get the ability to dispose of more waste and should have to go to the waste transfer station less. What do we put in this bin and how will we remember? This bin is called a residual waste bin because it’s for what can not be recycled or green waste. The lids will be stamped with what can go in the bin, but certain waste like chemicals and hot ashes can not be put in any bins. So nappies, food waste, broken glass, animal waste can go in this bin. When is the Hard Waste Collection? The Hard Waste Collection will commence on Monday 22 October 2012 in Berri for that week and in the other towns the following week. A brochure will be hand delivered to each household showing when to put your waste out and when it will be collected. What is Council doing to help make it easier for pensioners and self-funded retirees? Council will provide a concession of $20 automatically for this group a reduction of over 20%. Berri Barmera Council is the only Council in the state that provides this rebate on waste collection. How is this rebate funded? Council decided to cancel the senior Christmas parties which provided benefit to about 350 residents, to give a rebate to over 1000 residents, supporting a wider cross section of the community.

Have your say about the issues that affect you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lack of attention? IN REGARDS to recent statements about the Riverland Regional Hospital, I wholeheartedly agree with the statements made in local print media. Our HAC (Health Advisory Council) is controlled by the State Government and Health Minister John Hill, who knows nothing about anything outside of the Adelaide metropolitan area. Yes, we are past Gawler and Eagle on the Hill but this government just does not recognise anything past those two points. From my own experience in the Berri hospital I was admitted via ambulance, which is a great service. On admission, I had great service while in emergency with constant care by the on duty nurse at that early hour of the morning. Thank you to both the ambulance and the nurse in emergency as ou were so helpful, I could not have asked for any better anywhere. The trouble started when I was admitted to the ward. I was put onto a monitoring machine, which was all good until I needed to use a bottle for which I rang the bell and it took almost 30 minutes for a nurse to answer. She asked: “What do you want?� I stated that I needed to use a bottle and she replied, “Is that all?�. It took another 15 minutes plus for the bottle to arrive. By this time I could not hold on any longer and shamefully I wet the bed. When the nurse arrived with the bottle I told her what had happened, she replied, “Well, that was a waste of my time, wasn’t it?�. It took another three hours before my bed was changed by the

next lot of nurses who came on duty. I do not feel safe to go back to the Berri hospital because if I have another turn like I had prior to that visit and had to wait that long, I could be dead. If I am admitted to the Berri hospital I will ask to be transferred to the Barmera hospital. I know that it is not the nurses’ fault that they cannot look after patients. It all comes back to Mr Hill sitting in his plush office on North Terrace in Adelaide.

I had considered that because of the wonderful treatment I had received, that the hospital was well staffed. I am told that is not the case and nurses are working their too hard. Does (Health Minister) Mr Hill and/or SA Country Health have any idea what dedicated nurses they have? Do they even care? I guess if there is a mishap it will be easy to blame the careless nurse.

I HAVE been beginning to feel really confused about the nursing situation at the Berri Hospital. I read/hear the ANMF representative stating the facility is under staffed and I’ve read a letter by a local man complaining of the number of times his wife (a nurse at Berri) is called upon to do an extra shift or a extended shift. On the August 13, 2012, I was admitted to that hospital for surgery. Due to unforseen circumstances I had to return to the theatre that day, I guess because of my age and two aneathetics I had. I was difficult to wake up and it would have been time consuming for someone to care for me. I do not know what day or time I did wake up but I do know I could not have received better care anywhere (I’d just about say in the country). With one piece of equipment attached to me, I never had to wait for that to be attended to.

However, I was utterly disgusted at the foul language used by one person aboard the PS Industry, who I believe is a member of an important local organisation, while passengers were preparing to disembark. Once again, a job well done to the PS Industry accept for one incident.

Fond farewell for Eddie A FOND farewell to Eddie Downs, caretaker at the Riverland Central Plaza (Riverland Weekly, September 27). Your cheerfulness and wonderful support of local charities will be missed. May your retirement be long, happy and healthy. Lillian Mattner, Loxton.

Centenary congratulations I WISH to congratulate PS Industry from Renmark and its crew for the professional way in which they conducted themselves during the PS Melbourne’s celebrations in Mildura for its centenary on September 8 and 9. The crew dressed in their red shirts stood out and were courteos and helpful to all passengers. I have travelled the river from Goolwa to Echuca on all operational boats on the river and I found the centenary celebrations a most succesful weekend.

THE Mighty River Run claims to be South Australia’s biggest charity flotilla on the River Murray (Riverland Weekly, October 4). I would like to point out that the Riverland Cruising Boat Club has been doing week long river runs, raising money for charities, for 26 years with from 70 to 250 boats taking part. These runs are held every second year and have raised funds for charities such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Angel Flight, Childhood Cancer and others. While not detracting fro the good work the Mighty River Run does for Novita; there are other boating groups doing their bit to help worthwhile charities without the publicity accorded to more affluent ventures. Alby Price, Riverland Cruising Boat Club Commodore.

Help on cancer project DESPITE improved survival rates, a cancer diagnosis remains a major life stressor. Cancer treatments are often invasive and prolonged, placing significant demands on the person diagnosed, their carers, family and friends. Cancer Council SA has commissioned a project to help us to improve the provision of psychosocial support services to people affected by cancer and their caregivers in South Australia. Professor Afaf Girgis, University of NSW, is undertaking this project on behalf of Cancer Council SA. If you are 18 years or over and a) have ever been diagnosed with cancer, or b) you are a partner/caregiver of someone diagnosed with cancer (current or recently bereaved), we would love to hear from you. Please call the toll-free number on 1800 080 322 (or email afaf. girgis@unsw.edu.au or vibeke. hansen@ucrh.edu.au) for more information on this project, or if you would like to participate in a 30-45 minute telephone interview with a health researcher. We are keen to hear about your experiences regarding your need for and use of psychosocial support services in relation to cancer, and how Cancer Council SA can better meet the needs of people affected by cancer in the future.

Bartender participates in Leukaemia fundraiser which feels...

Close to home

Storm damaged institute reopens ALMOST a year ago a severe storm swept through the Riverland bringing winds in excess of 100 kilometres per hour. Trees were brought down, roofs were removed from houses and the Riverland was severely impacted. One of the most effected areas was Waikerie and the surrounding areas and it was the Waikerie Institute that lost a large part of its roof. The Waikerie Institute is one of the region’s iconic buildings and the roof had been blown off during the storm, landing in the White Street car park. The roof has been repaired at a cost of over $70,000, the floor had water damage and required sand-

The total bill for the Loxton Waikerie Council to repair the institute was in excess of $86,000. After finally finishing repairs on the institute, its official opening will coin-

cide with the Waikerie and Districts Community Flower Show tomorrow. Interested members of the public are invited to attend the reopening of the Waikerie Institute and opening of the Waikerie and Districts Community Flower show at 10.30am. Loxton Waikerie Concil Mayor Leon Stasinowsky praised the efforts of council who were able to utilise regional companies and, in most instances, repairs were undertaken by firms in Waikerie. “The assistance from companies and tradespeople indicates the value that local people place on the institute and the results can be seen in the institute today,� he said.

Students prepare for Loxton Primary School’s Big Night Out ■FUNDRAISING: Big River Tavern, in Berri, bartender Sharon Bysouth has gone to extra lengths in her UGLY Bartender fundraising, dressing up for the good cause. WHEN Big River Tavern’s Sharon Bysouth was nominated to participate in the U.G.L.Y. Bartender of the Year fundraiser, she immediately knew it was something that she wanted to be a part of. The bartender has been personally impacted by Leukaemia through friends and knows how far the money will go to helping a family at a critical time. “For me it’s a bit personal because I’ve got friends that have had young children who have had it,� she said. “I had a girlfriend, her

grandson got diagnosed within 18 months and he’s now four and his counts are getting better and better. “When it’s close to your heart and close to home, it just makes you very passionate about it.� At the Berri based eatery, donation tins sit on the bar, there is a jelly bean jar guess and a challenge to balance a coin on a lemon floating in water with all money being donated to the cause. On top of that, Sharon has taken the U.G.L.Y. Bartender theme to another level, dressing up at times

to ensure the fundraiser gets plenty of attention. “A lot of people have asked me what the U.G.L.Y. stands for which is Understanding, Generous, Likeable, You and a lot of people feel that it is for a good cause,� she said. “So far we’ve raised $1000, so that’s 12 nights accommodation for families within South Australia to use. “To be able to do this for Leukaemia, it is a great honour.� The U.G.L.Y. Bartender of the Year fundraiser runs until the end of the month.

■ON SHOW: Loxton Primary School students (from left) Jett Garvie, 10, Ky Bryant, 7, Hannah Meredith, 10, Parker Clayton-Day, 7, and Kenzie Grose, 5, have been working hard on their class art work which will be up for auction at tomorrow’s Big Night Out. These items will be up for silent auction from 5pm to 8.30pm. The school’s major fundraiser will include activities such as a live auction, continuous raffle, talent show, tug-of-war and much more.

viduals, groups and businesses who have contributed towards community pride and development in the Murraylands and Riverland region.�

BARMERA Primary School is one of more than 60 schools from across Australia chosen to attend an internationally-recognised environmental education event in Melbourne from Sunday to Tuesday. Students from years 5 to 11 will join over 600 kids from around Australia at the 2012 Melbourne Water International Kids Teaching Kids Conference to share their ideas on how to be ‘waterways warriors’. The students will take over the lessons by leading workshops

on water and sustainability topics that are important to them and their local community. They will use songs, drama, games and videos to inspire understanding and action amongst their peers about future challenges. Barmera Primary School’s Glenys Matthews said, “I’m so proud of the students, who have worked so hard to do the research on local Riverland land and water weeds and then put together such a creative fun presentation for the other kids�.

health professionals, and exercise sessions twice a week supervised by a physiotherapist, registered nurse and allied health assistants. The program can be accessed by Riverland residents who have a diagnosed condition of moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Chronic Bronchitis or severe Asthma with symptoms affect-

ing daily activities. People who are recovering from an acute exacerbation, a recent hospital admission or are currently on home oxygen are also welcome to attend upon referral. Some exclusions and priority of access do apply due to health conditions and group numbers, and these will be determined through a nursing assessment upon referral to

the program. The program will be free to attend and will be based at the Riverland Community Health Services building on Cornwall Street, Berri. More information is available by collecting a brochure found in the local Medical Clinics in Riverland towns or by contacting the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Coordinator on 8580 2500.

Community forum over bank THE Steering Committee for the Renmark & Districts Community Bank Project will be conducting a community forum on Wednesday at Renmark Oval to provide information about how the project will benefit local groups. The forum will commence at 7.30 pm and invitations have been issued to “not-for-profit� groups, sporting clubs, community groups, schools, etc. in the Renmark area to come along and find out about the Bendigo Bank Community Bank model and how a Community Bank branch can assist their group. Any member of the public is also invited to attend. Steering Committee members, Bendigo Bank personnel and special guest, Carol Gaston, Chairperson of Goolwa Community Bank branch, will be in attendance to explain how such a branch in Renmark could help the district to prosper.

Income generated from a local Community Bank branch is shared 50/50 between Bendigo Bank and the community (through a public company set up to own a commercial franchise from the bank to run the branch). The community share, after branch running costs, is then distributed to shareholders (dividends) and as regular community grants/sponsorships to local groups, sporting clubs, schools, hospital/health agencies, etc. Steering Committee chairman Dave Patty said there are now approximately 300 Community Bank branches across Australia that have returned more than $80 million to support local community projects and initiatives. “A local Community Bank branch provides employment and investment opportunities for local people but most importantly, a source of revenue for grants/sponsorships

to community projects, groups, clubs, schools, etc. determined by the community, and dividends to shareholders,� he said. “Imagine what we could do in Renmark & Districts. “Ask yourself, what is my current bank doing for my community? “We are hopeful that many members of the groups represented on the night will support our project by giving a “pledge� (a non-binding commitment to buy shares in the new public company at a later date after feasibility). “We are still approximately 100 people (pledgees) and approximately $80,000 short of the targets set by Bendigo Bank for a Feasibility Study to be carried out. “With a population in excess of 10,000 in our area, there is potential for many more people in our community to pledge support.� The forum will offer drinks and food from 5.30pm.

BARMERA SHEEP DOG TRIALS

FEATURE

Sheep dogs on show in Barmera

■ STUNNING NATIVE: Examples around the Riverland of the senna artemisioides subsp filifolia, better known as the ‘Sturt’s desert cassia’. Photos: ANDREW WALLADGE

■ ACTION: Sheep dogs are in Barmera this week as part of the South Australian Sheep Dog Championships.

Water deeply, less often for top results By ANDREW WALLADGE MANY people have noticed the brilliant yellow flowers on roadsides over the past few weeks. It is not surprising that many have noticed but it is surprising how brilliant the display is throughout the Riverland and Mallee. Most are in fact cassias otherwise known as senna artemisioides subsp filifolia (syn. cassia nemophila) “desert cassia” and senna artemisioides nothosubsp. sturtii (syn. cassia sturtii) “Sturt’s desert cassia”. Wow, what a mouthful; I didn’t make up those names! They are both shrubs from one metre to three metres and will survive in extremely dry conditions such as ours without watering and still have a regular display of bright yellow buttercup like flowers mostly in spring but will flower at other times. The Sturt’s desert cassia has broader leaves and a somewhat more golden yellow flower. Both can be breathtaking in

early morning light and thanks to daylight saving, we will all see more of that. A light prune after flowering will also improve their performance in the garden. The last two quite wet summers and a heavy rainfall event last July has meant for many deep rooted plants such as our local cassias, there has been a moisture reserve. I am sure that this has meant that cassias and many others are putting on an unusually good show for spring. The message to consider for your garden is for deep rooted trees and shrubs, particularly dryland plants, deep infrequent watering is going to be far better than short shallow frequent watering. As it warms up, we have bottlebrush to look forward to and my bet is that it will be an exceptional flowering. So water deeply, less often and enjoy the results of better flowering plants and a cheaper water bill.

BARMERA and the Riverland will be given a significant economic boost with the South Australian Sheep Dog Championships being held in the popular town this week. With the annual locally organised sheep dog trials not going ahead this year, the South Australian Working Sheep Dog Association organised to host the state championships in its place. With a record number of entries, South Australian Working Sheep Dog Association secretary Joanne Flavel said an extra day has been added to the event, which began in Barmera yesterday. With 178 entries from across Australia at the Barmera Oval, the four day event is expected to create plenty of interest. “It’s such a beautiful setting, the oval is just perfect and Bob Clark is just such a good person to work with, so helpful and enthusiastic,” Ms Flavel said “We’d love a big crowd.” On show is some of the country’s top working dogs, past state champi-

onship winners and national victors. Ms Flavel said those involved in the event are staying at the local caravan park. “They’ve kindly accommodated us and our dogs which is important,” she said. The novice competition category for the event was held yesterday, while the state championships begin today and an invitation championship is to follow on Sunday.

“That really is a special event and you will be seeing some of the top dogs in Australia because they’ve all won at least one trial in the past 12 months,” Ms Flavel said. With the Australian Championship Sheep Dog Trials recently held in Queensland, Ms Flavel said that may be a reason for a boost in entries. To watch the sheep dog trials at Barmera Oval admission is free and there is catering facilities available.

GLEN VIEW POULTRY - WORLD EGG DAY

FEATURE

Celebrating eggs R

IVERLANDERS will be given the opportunity to appreciate the humble egg when World Egg Day celebrations begin tomorrow. Events are being held across the world to appreciate the nutritional value eggs add to people’s diets. The first World Egg Day was celebrated in 1996 and since then there has been a variety of wonderful events taking place internationally, with people enjoying and celebrating the wonderful versatility of the egg. Many people are not aware of the role that eggs play in the world, feeding citizens in developing and non developing countries. With high quality protein, eggs are seen as a very affordable food.

Here are some examples of what you can do to celebrate World Egg Day: • Family festivals – festivals have been held around the world, putting on eggciting fun and games for the whole family. • Past festivals have included egg drawing competitions, egg throwing challenges, recipe contests and cooking competitions, as well as music and entertainment to bring people of all ages together to enjoy eggs. • Recipe books containing a selection of delicious recipes using eggs. • Shopping Centre cook-

ing demonstrations and cook-offs.

Quick Egg Pasta Primavera Serves: 4 • Cooking time: 15min

• Tasty, nutritional seminars explaining the benefits of eggs.

Ingredients: 4 eggs, lightly beaten 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 50g baby spinach leaves 1 cup frozen peas 400g spiral pasta 1 bunch broccolini, sliced 2 tsp finely grated lemon

• Events for school and pre-school children showing them how to have fun with eggs, while teaching them about the nutritional benefits. • School/community cooking competitions; who can create the best recipe incorporating eggs, or cook the tastiest dish? • Glen View Poultry recently cooked 180 eggs for the Renmark Junior Primary School breakfast on the last day of term last month.

Proud to support Glen View Poultry and use their fresh eggs for all our cakes

Method: Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water unitl tender. Meanwhile place the broccolini into a heat proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand for 3 minutes, then drain. Blanch the peas in another bowl of boiling water. Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Add the combined eggs and lemon rind and stir so the hot pasta cooks the eggs. Add the spinach leaves, broccolini and peas; toss to combine and wilt spinach. Serve in a shallow bowl, sprinkle with Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.

THE Riverland’s very own egg producer Glen View Poultry Farm is urging locals to head to the Riverland Farmers’ Market on Saturday to celebrate all things eggs. Glen View Poultry Farm managing director Darren ‘Chook’ Letton said the business will be giving out stickers, temporary tattoos and egg-themed books for children, while there will be specials on the sale of eggs. “The whole week I’ll be talking eggs,” he said. “I’d have to say that we are one of the most successful stalls at the market and it is really good that we get so much support. “Having the farmers’ market is good as we get a chance to do our own retailing rather than wholesale and we sell about 300 dozen eggs there every week.” Darren is also seeking the best egg recipes to produce a book as part of his regular

5RM radio appearance. The Riverland Farmers’ Markets is held at the Berri Senior Citizens Hall from 7.30am to 11.30am on Saturday. On World Egg Day tomorrow, Darren will be encouraging as many people as possible to eat eggs, which he said are good for you. Glen View Poultry Farm has been operating for 47 years and Darren said the community support has been phenomenal. The family business has been involved in many local events including donations of eggs to Australia Days and Easter breakfasts, with one of the highlights being a pirate themed entry into Christmas pageants across the region. The business supplies eggs across the Riverland, Mallee, Sunraysia and Adelaide producing 13,100 dozen eggs weekly from 25,000 hens.

Quirky messages remain despite changes to regulations

New Standards G

LEN VIEW Poultry Farm will print a new trademark logo on its eggs to comply with changes in national quality assurance. “From November onwards the printing on eggs is going to become mandatory, compulsory in South Australia and other states will follow,” Glen View manager director Darren Letton (pictured with son Cody) said. “Egg stamping is going to be part of a new quality assurance program through the Australian Egg Corporation. “The idea of stamping eggs is the traceability, you’ve got point of origin so you know where the eggs come from.”

With the Riverland business already printing quirky sayings on their eggs for at least two years, Darren said the addition of the logo means the messages can remain. “I’ve gone and created a little logo, an egg cup, and that is going to become the Glen View trademark on the eggs and I can still have a happy message,” he said. “People over the past few years have loved the messages and it’s actually getting pretty hard to come up with new ones. “When you are joking around and you start talking about it, you come out with all the good ones.”

nly a few minutes drive from the main shopping district of Renmark and the banks of the Murray River, this unique home offers rural living at its finest. Boasting established gardens and shady trees, what more could you ask for? Inside the home the recently renovated kitchen offers floor and overhead cabinetry, a dishwasher, a state-of-the-art stainless steel gas cooktop and oven and polished Jarrah timber flooring underfoot. The home is heated and cooled by a ducted evaporative system and a reverse

cycle split system. There is also combustion heating conveniently located in the living room. There are three spacious bedrooms, two with wall-to-wall built-in robes, and the master bedroom also has the benefit of an ensuite and walk-in robe. Outside you will experience the peaceful and tranquil surrounds, with highlights being the goldfish swimming in the pond and the undercover outdoor entertaining area, creating the ultimate escape for the whole family. The property is well worth an inspection.

■From Page 28 Gillespie said he was “a bit shocked� to receive the scholarship, which has previously gone to South Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait amongst many other names. “I got home from school and there was a letter on the bench and I didn’t really know what was going on until I had a really good look at it,� he said. “It put a big smile on my face.� Through the scholarship, Gillespie will have access to funds to help him travel and pursue cricket at the top level. During the season Gillespie is likely to travel to Adelaide at least every fortnight and for state commitments. “It (the scholarship) will help me a lot getting down there and mum will want to go down there a little bit more too,� he said. Being selected in the under 19 state team at such a young age was a surprise for Gillespie. “I just went down there for one training and then later I got an email to say I got into the team,� he said. Gillespie said his passion for cricket is shown through his enjoyment of fast bowling.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Pfennig uses strong winds to advantage in Barmera ■ STRONG gusts amongst southerly winds at Lake Bonney last Saturday made for excellent sailing conditions and the competing yachts did not waste the opportunity to engage in some exciting and challenging first heats of the annual championships. Mark Pfennig aboard ‘The Matrix’ convincingly led throughout to win the Miscellaneous Monohulls event, while Peter Dunk and Kirsten Thomas with ‘Splashes of Brilliance’ lost their position when they experienced a spectacular nose dive while under a spinnaker run, only to recover for second position when they took advantage of the strong gusts on the next run. On the other hand, the gusty conditions did not treat Steve Thomas kindly and he lost valuable time meaning that third to finish was John Eshman with ‘Talisman’. The Lake Bonney Yacht Club continues to be utilised for a number of other events apart from sailing and last weekend a large number of local and visiting car enthusiasts were at the clubhouse for registrations and a barbecue as part of a Riverland Classic and Vintage Car Club Rally. This Saturday’s sailing will be Handicap Race A1.

Barmera gun club honours go to Wilkawatt’s Beelitz ■ HIGH Gun honours at the Barmera Gun Club on Sunday went to Wilkawatt’s Don Beelitz with a score of 167/175. Four events were held on the day with the 50 Target Double Barrel Championship opening the competition and grade wins going to Adrian Matschoss, 50/50 in the AA grade from Trevor Shaddock 70/71, A grade was won by Robert Maywald, 49/50, B grade went to Ray Whylie, 47/50, and C grade was won by Len Decandia from Southern, 36/50. Ray Pash won the A grade in event two, a 25 Target Point Score, with 72/75, B grade went to Peter Brister, 70/81, and C grade was won by Decandia, 60/75. Beelitz shot well for a score of 25/25 to grab the A grade honours in a 25 Target Single Barrel event with Brister again winning the B grade with 22/25, and Reny Zangari, with a score of 19/27, claiming the C grade. To finish the day a 25 Target Continental saw Frank Albanese, 32/32, take out the A grade, Sue Byrnes, 25/25, win the B grade and for his third win in C grade, Decandia shot an impressive 18/25.

Renmark horse and pony club on show ■ THE Renmark Horse and Pony Club will hold the last of its three events of the Show Jumping and Dressage series on Sunday, October 28. Points are accumulating over the series towards an overall high points winner from either the senior or junior sections and individual awards for senior and junior high points for both show jumping and dressage. Riders from the Riverland plus clubs in Mildura, Wentworth and Barossa Valley are competing with some 20 horses involved. Spectators are welcome for a full day of events with a high quality canteen on site. For further information phone Sue on 0409 698 410.

Davis and Martin claim individual golf wins ■ AT Waikerie on Saturday, Craig Davis claimed the division one win with a score of 75/70 with Reva Cullen winning division two with 96/72. The voucher winners for the event included Derek Greenfield, James Thomas, Wes Bald and Graham Strauss. Also on Saturday, the Barmera Golf Club held its four ball better ball stableford with Mark Wundenberg and Rob Ward winning with 46 points. On Sunday, Kevin Martin won the stableford with 37 points.

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

Summer sport arrives As summer sports begin across the Riverland, Graham Charlton looks at how the competition across various fields is shaping up. Bye in top division of Riverland tennis ■ FOLLOWING a meeting of the Riverland Tennis Association last Monday night, I understand the 2012-13 season will start both its senior and junior seasons on Friday and Saturday, October 19 and 20. Further night rounds are apparently being planned for the program after the concept was trialed successfully in 2011-12. A night match is being implemented immediately to avoid a clash with the Riverland Wine and Food Festival to be held at Berri on the Saturday. With Berri-view to make a return to division one after its withdrawal mid-season in 201112, there will be five teams at top level with the others being Cobdogla, Renmark Tintra, Loxton and Waikerie. Division two will contain six teams, two from Cobdogla, Berri-view, Barmera, Loxton and Renmark Tintra and division three will have five teams being Barmera, Monash, Moorook, Waikerie and Loxton. Of course clubs would decide the level at which they nominate their teams in accordance with the standard of players that they have in their ranks. However, in this tennis structure it was, of course, possible mathematically to have three grades of even numbers and it is a pity that we have byes in our competitions as there can be no denying that having a week’s break can induce some players into other activities and away from the game. Ideally it would be nice to have a crystal ball available in situations like this to predict whether results will support all of the decisions that have to be made preseason.

Whilst on junior tennis, Riverland teams proved competitive at the recent Be Active Cup competitions for players 13 years and under held in Gawler. Adam Drogemuller (Berri), William Koskinas, Jesse Wundenberg (Barmera), and Drew Kassulke (Loxton) comprised the boys’ team and Shenae Ruccioch, Jamie Jaensch, Tahlia Matulick (Renmark) and Abbey Wilson (Loxton) were the girls’ team. At the start of the tournament round robin team matches were contested followed by a competition for individuals from which the top four players to finish were named in the state team to play in the national event in Sydney in early January, 2013. That tournament coincides with the Sydney International. From the Gawler individual competition, Adam Drogemuller finished fourth in the boys to gain a place in the SA team with William Koskinas fifth and first reserve, while Shenae Ruccioch was also only a quarter final victory away from gaining a trip to Sydney. Proposals to have Riverland junior squads play more interassociation matches than just the annual meeting with Sunraysia in the season ahead are being considered.

Baseball teams needed as season starts

Meeting to discuss make-up of softball THE Riverland’s softball competition is scheduled to commence its new season on Saturday, October 27, with a meeting proposed for next week to look at team numbers and the make-up of the various competitions. In the meantime, a host of local players are in Alice Springs this weekend as they continue a long association with the town’s popular Masters Games. The Riverland Rats are there again and a number of Cobdogla players have combined with a group from Central Districts to form another team.

Twenty20 scrapped

■ THE opening of the baseball season tomorrow night will involve a part round with Barmera Lakers still to finalise its team nominations for 2012-13. Berri Warriors will play Renmark Angels in both A and B grade matches at Glassey Park, while in a B grade clash at Loxton the Wildcats host Lyrup. Currently there is two A grade teams and four B grade teams for

Entries flooding in ■ THE elevation of the second Murray Man Triathlon at Barmera’s Lake Bonney to the status of 2012-13 Australian Age Group Long Course Championships has resulted in entries flooding in from far and wide. The event, to be held on Sunday, November 4, has been capped at 400 athletes; 350 for the full long distance Murray Man involving a 2km swim, 80km bike ride and 20km run and 50 entries for the half Murray Man. Late last week, 316 registrations had been received, 242 males and 74 females, with 266 to contest the long distance event and the half Murray Man already full and having 10 athletes on a waiting list. Two hundred and fifteen entrants are from South Australia and 101 from interstate. An added attraction to the event is the double points available as a qualifier for the 2013 World Long Course Championships. The Murray Man is an Adelaide Triathlon Club event and now has the Berri Resort Hotel as its major sponsor. Registrations close at 5pm

the coming season, with Barmera yet to nominate. It has been suggested that the A grade and B grade competitions combine into one. Meanwhile, Aussie T-Ball, an initiative of the Australian Baseball Federation launched across Australia in 2011 to increase participation and make it easier for children to get involved in the sport from an early age, is available in the Riverland. Aussie T-Ball is a modified version of the game and links local baseball clubs to primary Schools.

on Sunday, November 21. This will actually be a full weekend of activity for people either currently involved in triathlons or simply interested in gathering further information. An enticer Short Course Triathlon and other activities are planned for Lake Bonney on Saturday, November 3. This is all about come and try and participation and fun with registrations accepted between 12 and 1pm, with a briefing at 1.30pm before a start at 2pm. Then that night at the Berri Resort Hotel, a Mission Australia Pasta Night is planned incorporating an open forum titled ‘Triathlon Training – Busting the Myths’. An ‘on the couch’ format involving experienced athletes and coaches will visit a number of topics. Bookings at $20 per head with seats limited to 250 will include $5 to go to aid Mission Australia’s Riverland initiatives. The evening will also include the first of two race briefings at 7pm with the second to be held at Lake Bonney at 7.30am on Sunday.

■ ONE day matches get local A and B grade cricket competitions underway this Saturday with Berri hosting Renmark and Waikerie Ramco at home to 2011-12 champion Loxton in the A grade. Nine teams are involved in the B grade with the first round seeing Loxton North meeting Wunkar, Cobdogla playing Loxton, Brown’s Well versus Barmera and Monash at home to Waikerie Ramco. Berri has the bye. With a Twenty20 competition axed for the season, the A grade program will consist of six one day and six two day rounds, three of each category prior to Christmas and the remainder in 2013. A One day final is set down for January 26 and the two day semi-finals will be played on March 16 and 17 with the final on March 23 and 24.

Influx of junior basketballers into senior ranks ■ THE local basketball season kicks off tomorrow night with Loxton at home to Berri and Barmera playing Renmark at Barmera in both the A men and women divisions. The competition this season will not always have the senior teams from each club in mens and womens programs playing at the same venue on the same night as Waikerie has nominated a women’s A grade side this season. Association president Les Lange said, “I am looking forward to what looks like being a very even season with added interest surrounding a reported influx of a large number of junior players into the A grade competitions”.

Samantha’s love of horses awarded with honour ■ FOURTEEN-year-old Loxton High School student Samantha Pearn will be at the biggest night on the Riding for the Disabled Association calendar on Friday, October 19, the RDAA National Volunteer Dinner 2012, to receive an award. The dinner in Adelaide celebrates the wonderful work and achievements of valued volunteers with the RDA and Samantha is to be presented with the Young Volunteer award. Samantha joined the Riverland RDA Centre some two and a half years ago and has been active in everything from cleaning out stables, grooming and caring for the horses, assisting at various events and competitions, fundraising and promoting the values of the organisation.

Compassionate and caring, she encourages and assists other riders and volunteers and displays an exceptional ability to relate to people of all ages. On Wednesday nights Samantha is heavily involved as she has become the sole feeder of the horses, being dropped off to attend to her chores and then picked up afterwards, on occasions in wild weather conditions. But she admits to simply enjoying this special time with the horses. This is a national award for volunteers under 18 years of age and is open to all RDA centres around Australia. A dedicated member of the Riverland RDA team, Samantha is a worthy recipient of the honour.

Riverland Regatta likely to be bigger than ever ■ ENTRIES for the Berri Riverland Rowing Regatta to be held on Saturday and Sunday, December 1 and 2, only close a few days before the event but already there are indications that there will be a significant increase in the number of competitors here for the weekend. The Riverland Regatta is a fixture on Rowing SA’s annual program and is held in alternate years at the Berri and Renmark clubs. As far as 2012 is concerned, bookings at local caravan parks and at other accommodation sources reveal that at least six schools could have

teams here for the first time, including two from Western Australia. Paul Othams from the Berri club said “the number of competitors this year could be up from 600 to around 800”. “Normally we have between 20 and 25 clubs competing including from metro and country SA and from Wentworth. “If you add support crews, families and friends to the number of rowers this event brings a lot of people into the Riverland. “Some schools like PAC and one or two from WA normally stay on after the weekend for training camps in our splendid conditions.”

Gold medal for Hockeyroo

■ FORMER Berri junior Karri McMahon made her first appearance with the senior Australian hockey team at the Women’s Champions Challenge in Ireland last week and will return to her Australian Institute of Sport base in Western Australia with a gold medal. Currently Karri is home in Berri taking the opportunity to spend time with her family before joining the South Australian women’s team for the start of the National Hockey League season next week. The Hockeyroos won the title in Ireland with a victory in the final 6-1 over USA after beating Belgium 4-1, India 8-1 and Wales 4-0 in its pool matches. It then overcame South Africa 2-1 in a quarter final and Scotland 2-0 in a semi-final. The quarter final against South Africa was a tight affair with a goal to Emily Smith with only four minutes remaining in the game breaking a 1-1 deadlock that existed at half time. Then in a high quality semi-final against Scotland

it took two penalty corner goals in the final 18 minutes to decide the issue. Even though this was her first time with the Hockeyroos, Karri has played an important part in this campaign and according to local authority on the sport Brett Stokes it appears she is on track for a permanent spot in the team. “Although not part of the starting line-up at this stage, Karri has been in the normal player rotations and has consistently taken the field around the seven minute mark,” Stokes said. Talking to Karri’s father Gavin, he said “Karri is known for her power hitting so there has already been suggestions she may be under consideration to be made part of the team structure at short corners”. A victory in the Challenge Tournament has now booked the Hockeyroos a return to the Champions Trophy competition involving the world’s top eight ranked countries to be held next year. Australia did not qualify for the 2012 event held

Weir and Kiel represent state at national hockey tournament

in Argentina. Meanwhile, Stokes joined the head coach of the Riverland Hockey Academy, Loxton’s Billie Jo Hammerstein, at Glassey Park last Sunday in a talent identification session as the sport continues to search for more players of the future. A Riverland Academy chosen from the Junior Zone Championships existed in 2011 and another group was selected after the zonals in May this year Sunday’s event was designed to boost those numbers. “Over 30 juniors turned out,” Hammerstein said, “which was pleasing”. “Letters will now go out to juniors this week offering places in the academy and once final acceptances are lodged a program for special training sessions will be announced.” As Olympic gold medalist Grant Schubert and now Karri McMahon have shown these promising local juniors, with goals and hard work, there is a definite pathway from the Riverland to the top level.

Riverlanders triumph at Masters champs ■ THREE members of the Riverland Boxing and Fitness Club at Loxton, Mandy Artym, Uschi Artym and Brett Eckermann won their division at the Adidas Boxing International Masters Championships held last weekend at the West Adelaide Football Club. Nearly 100 boxers from 35 to 65 years of age took part over four days of competition. Mandy Artym won her bout against Teresa Warwick (ACT) 3-2 on a countback after scores were tied 7-7, while her daughter Uschi won her section bout unopposed. Uschi did appear in two matched bouts, however, and in extremely tough contests went down on points narrowly to Mercedes Taff (NT) and Philipa Hannigan (Victoria). Both Mandy and Uschi are also contributing strongly to the sport now as referees and judges. Eckerman, in his return to

■ THE Australian Masters Hockey Championships have just been held with the Riverland represented by Kris Weir and Jen Kiel in the state team during the women’s event in Melbourne and Tim Cass and Jay Fforde, in Hobart, with the SA men’s team. Kris and Jen have already returned home with their over 50s side having been very competitive in all games except when they ran into an extremely well prepared and serious Victorian unit going down 4-0. SA lost to NSW in very wet conditions 2-0, and in “games that were winnable” 1-0 to Queensland and 3-2 against Western Australia before breaking the ice with two victories against Northern Territory 3-1 and 3-2. Midfielder Kiel gained selection in the Australian team following a number of impressive performances, while despite some handy goals, striker Weir missed a spot as a player but will retain her position as a massage therapist with the team at the Trans Tasman Challenge tournament in Auckland in May next year. Both Jen and Kris were with the Australian team in these capacities in the last event on the Gold Coast.

SA and Victoria prior to his departure for England on October 25 with a Queensland boxing team. Pleased with his efforts in these spirited sessions, his father and coach Phillip has now shelved plans for a further bout before his son’s departure overseas.

Issue No. 250

Fast bowler’s Les Favell Scholarship COBDOGLA left arm fast bowler Kyle Gillespie (pictured) is a name to watch out for on the South Australian cricket scene. The 17-year-old this week received the Les Favell Scholarship, making it two Riverlanders in consecutive years to be awarded the honour after Loxton leg spinner Shaun Reilly was a recipient of the scholarship last year. Gillespie was one of eight players across South Australia this year to be awarded the scholarship, which supports young cricketers to achieve their dreams of playing at the highest level. After being picked in the under 19 South Australian squad, Gillespie will fulfill his commitments at that level, as well as playing for Tea Tree Gully in grade cricket. He also hopes to play half a season for his home club Cobdogla in the Riverland B grade competition, where he will line-up against Loxton on Saturday. ■ Continued Page 25
