NO SNAKE CATCHERS RIVERLAND councils and pest controllers are being inundated with phone calls about snake concerns due to an urgent lack of licensed catchers in the region. Currently there are no licensed snake catchers in the Riverland with two people endorsed to handle level 3 venomous snakes, not renewing their permits to date.

reported seeing snakes up to six feet long as the weather warms. Renmark Paringa, Berri Barmera and Loxton Waikerie councils have all confirmed consistent communication from the public regarding where to find a snake catcher.

Like many others in the region, local pest controller Ben McPhee said he has been receiving two to three phone calls per week regarding snake catching services but is only able to offer advice. A Department for Environment, Water and Natu-

Major Riverland events claim honours at tourism awards

■ From Page 1 “Members of the public have always been allowed to deal with snakes if required. “Under the Act, the only snake catchers who have to be trained and licensed are those who wish to conduct commercial snake removal businesses.” The spokesperson said snakes should be left alone and children and pets should be kept well away. “A snake will usually move on, especially if it is in an area without a food source,” they said. “For this reason, keeping yards clean to discourage rats and mice is very important.” A spokesperson for the South Australian Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board said snake sightings may continue to rise due to increased breeding. “With the high rainfall of 2010 and 2011, coming after almost a decade of low rainfall years and drought, there has been an increase in breeding

THE State Government has advised the Riverland Weekly that there are no licensed snake catchers currently in the region. Given the reports I have heard about sightings, snakes are more than active and will no doubt be spotted even in town

activity and a perceived bounce in the numbers of many species, including frogs and rabbits,” they said. “Small animals such as these are important prey items for snakes, so it would seem plausible that as prey items have increased in abundance, snakes have also bred well and have increased in number. “We must also remember that spring and summer, on hot days, are the most common times to see snakes as they are most active. “If we leave them be, we can appreciate their importance in the ecosystem and keep safe at the same time.”

TWO major Riverland events have featured amongst the top placings at the 2012 South Australian Tourism Awards. The Loxton Christmas Lights Festival was awarded silver in the Festivals and Events Category, while in the same category the Renmark Rose Festival received bronze on the weekend. After winning the tourism award in 2006, 2008 and 2009 and receiving a silver acknowledgement last year, Loxton Christmas Lights Festival president Peter Mangelsdorf said the volunteers were honoured to have their efforts recognised. “It’s good to be acknowledged on a state level and people know who we are and they hear about us at the tourism awards

and they know we are Loxton Christmas Lights,” he said. “It’s a great attraction drawing people to the town and visitors from outside the area.” The awards come after media personality Lisa McCaskill visited Loxton last month as part of the judging process for the South Australian Tourism Awards. During her visit she inspected the Loxton Christmas Lights and Santa’s Workshop to see what goes on in the town for the Christmas Lights Festival, which began on the weekend. Lisa also visited The Renmark Rose Festival during the trip. Pictured is Lisa McCaskill with Loxton Christmas Lights secretary Pat West (left) during

Renmark pageant’s float call ORGANISERS of the Renmark Christmas Pageant are calling on local businesses and community groups to enter more floats for the parade. With just 15 committed to participating so far, committee spokesperson Darren Letton said he hopes to have about 30 floats entering this year’s pageant on December 7. The committee has also filled the role of

Father Christmas with a Barmera identity offering his time to be present at Santa’s Cave, which will open near the town fountain, on December 7 at 5.30pm. “We are still putting it out there for Renmark and to anyone really to bring a float because we want more floats,” Mr Letton said. “The more the better.”

Town centre’s revitalisation RENMARK’S town centre is set to be revitalised with a milliondollar project aimed at giving the local economy a major boost. The Renmark Paringa Council has released concept plans for public consultation as it seeks almost $400,000 from the third round of the Regional Development Australia Fund for the project. Initially council looked at upgrading the Renmark Avenue toilet block, as well as another project to review the future use of Murray Avenue. Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Tony Siviour said council decided to incorporate a larger project including bollarding Murray Avenue, paving an outdoor dining precinct and adding healthy spaces. “We hope the overall project encourages new retail and tourism activities,” he said.

“The community has been through a difficult period and we just think the timing’s right, you’ve had the Futures money allocated, we’ve got water back in the river and hopefully the community is feeling better about themselves.

Mr Siviour met with representatives from the Renmark Hotel and Renmark Club on Monday night and he said discussions were positive. “They are really supportive of it and hopefully they might want to be involved,” he said.

We hope the overall project encourages new retail and tourism activities. “We think it is a good opportunity to upgrade a major asset in our town which we’ve identified needs upgrading, which is the toilets, which sort of drag the town centre down a little bit. ‘We thought we would try and incorporate some other stuff around that instead of just building a toilet block.”

“We’re are just trying to create a bit of an outdoor dining precinct. “Hopefully it will work in with the plans that the Renmark Club has for the upgrading of its club and the hotel is looking at upgrading its dining facilities upstairs and some outdoor dining as well. “It’s just adding to the atmo-

sphere of that precinct.” The costings for the project are broken down into $420,840 for boat mooring facilities, $406,400 for solar lighting, recycling stations, a new toilet block and dual lane access to parking on Renmark Avenue, $39,000 to art and signage, $30,000 to walkway access and bollarding of Murray Avenue, $25,000 on paving the outdoor precinct and $28,3000 on healthy spaces such as community Wi-Fi point, bike racks, dog litter bags, water fountains and trees. Mr Siviour said a town square concept could be a potential long term option. “It may be something that if the community grows it is something that we look at in the future, it is not something we can look at in the short term,” he said. Public consultation for the project ends on December 22.

Advertisers show interest in tyre THE chosen advertisers on the historic Yamba tyre may have to foot the bill for a new coat of paint. The Riverland Tourism Association has had high amounts of interest to advertise on the back and front of the Riverland icon and chairman Peter Freeman said discussions are continuing. “We’ve had interest from tourism orientated bodies in advertising on both sides of the tyre and because of the cost of it, we want to find out whether the advertisers are prepared to share the cost of re-

painting it in lieu of an annual fee,” he said. “As I understand it, the update would be a fresh coat of paint and sign writing plus checking the structural soundness of it at the same time.’ Mr Freeman said the advertising interest has come from individual tourism businesses and said there is a big opportunity to promote the Riverland on the tyre. Progress is expected to be made on the tyre at the RTA’s committee meeting next month.

Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Tony Siviour said council had little response to advertising on the tyre. “We’ve been working with a media company in Adelaide about some opportunities for the Yamba tyre and they’ve explored many and at this stage there doesn’t appear to be a lot of interest,” he said. “We are wanting to go back to RTA, who are the owners of the asset, and have a discussion with them as to where they want to go from here.”

Teachers accept three per cent rise STUDENTS and their parents can look forward the start of the new school year without industrial action with Australian Education Union (AEU) members giving the State Government’s offer a resounding thumbs-up. AEU SA president Correna Haythorpe said yesterday teachers would receive a three per cent wage rise over the next three years. “We consider it to be a done deal,” Ms Haythorpe said. “We have had a 96 per cent vote in support of the offer.” Importantly the deal also offered school and pre-schools a funding commitment for its staff and human

resources budgets for that time. “It gives schools certainty because they know what is to happen for the next three years.” Despite being the government’s first offer to the AEU it had followed “eight months of intense negations”. “We are in the very unusual situation of the first offer being the best offer,” she said. Previous wage agreements had been lengthy, with the 2008/2009 school years being marred by rallies and stop work meetings. However, while Ms Haythorpe believed the premier and education minister had been “much more respectful” in their attitude towards

teachers this time around, the AEU plans to make the need for more permanent teachers an election issue in 2013. “We have to have some contract positions to backfill people on leave,” she said. However, while the numbers of permanent teachers had risen from 79 to 82 per cent in the past year, the AEU said more was needed, and it was still under the target of 85 per cent. She said there were some teachers who had been unable to gain a permanent position in 20 years – and as such were forced to live with uncertainty from contract to contract.

The bins will be delivered over the next two weeks commencing on Monday the 3rd of December and ﬁnishing on Friday the 14th of December, 2012. When do I start using the new bins? The ﬁrst collection will be the week commencing the 31st December, 2012, with recycling and general waste.

LOCAL egg producer Darren Letton believes regulations introduced this week will give consumers greater confidence that they are buying the highest quality eggs. From last Monday all eggs entering the food supply chain must be stamped with a producer or processor’s unique identification markings as part of new national standards. Mr Letton, who owns Glenview Poultry Farm at Paringa, said it was one of only two South Australian companies using specific logos to brand eggs. Other companies have

been given a number to identify their farm. Mr Letton said the new regulations would help improve quality assurance. “It stops people from taking a second hand car-

ing audited and following all of these processes. “All they want to do is make sure everyone is doing it correctly. “I’m not against people selling eggs, as long as they

are doing it right.” Mr Letton already brands his eggs with a quirky message and now has his own egg cup logo unique to his business. “Rather than just having the number on there, I still wanted to have my

messages on the eggs, so I came up with this little logo,” he said. South Australian Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Minister Gail Gago said producers would be required to remove any cracked or dirty eggs from sale to ensure eggs did not become infected by salmonella. “Egg stamping will ensure that any eggs that need to be traced back to the farm can be done quickly and easily,” she said. “Under the scheme, producers must be accredited if they have more than 50 laying birds and sell eggs.”

Electrical storm provides spectacular sight

Why start over the Christmas and New Year period? It is a time of increased paper, glass and cardboard that can be recycled, so with the two bins you will have greater capacity and bins will not overﬂow. What happens about cans and bottles that usually go to the local recyclers? You can still redeem these with the local recyclers who are not changing their businesses. When does the Monash Waste Facility change to a Waste Transfer Station? Waste cannot be buried at the site after Saturday the 15th of December, 2012. Is there any assistance for churches and charities before conditions change? Local churches and charities will be able to take hard waste to the Monash facility free of charge up until the changes on Saturday the 15th of December, 2012. Will I get more information? Yes, a calendar giving details about what goes in each bin and what week of the month and day the different bins need to be put out will be delivered to each household.

■ STORMY: Loud cracks of thunder and visible fork lightning swept across the Riverland on Monday night causing widespread power cuts. Photographers Grant Schwartzkopff and Waikerie’s Lachlan Cain braved the weather to take some spectacular shots.

Riverland riders to rollup for Tucker and Toy Run UP TO 350 motorcyclists will take to Riverland streets this weekend collecting donations as part of the 2012 Tucker and Toy Run. Supporting the Riverland Christmas Appeal, the annual event provides a large number of donations to help the less fortunate at Christmas. The Ulysses Club Mallee Branch is hosting the event and organiser Graeme Rule is calling on the community to donate items for the cause. “We are anticipating a very supportive haul of

donations of all kinds, soft toys, non perishable food and cash donations,” he said. “People come out on the streets and have a look at it and it fits in with in the Loxton Lights Festival and the Christmas functions the various towns are having. “I think Christmas is a very important time of the year where families can be together and enjoy the festive season and it is really sad if somebody misses out, so we want everybody to win and people who are

less fortunate, we give them a hand up.” The Tucker and Toy Run will begin from each end of the Riverland on Sunday, starting in Renmark at 9.15am and in Waikerie at 8.45am and finish at the Barmera Markets. Vans travelling with the bikes will accept gifts or donations during the run. Meanwhile, organisers of the Riverland Christmas Appeal are urging those who wish to apply to do so by the cut off date tomorrow. Organiser Cheryle Tay-

lor said she expected the number of hampers to be “on a par to last year”. “There’s been more toys donated than food so far,” she said.

Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history lives on THE history of Lyrup Primary School, dating back almost 100 years, will live on following the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closure on December 14. The Governing Council and the School Closure Advisory Group identified 10 items of memorabilia that it wanted displayed in a public place, as it planned for the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closure. Lyrup Primary School principal John Trobbiani said the items held great historic value to the community and were taken to Lyrup Club on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve identified things that are of significant sentimental value and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve identified that they should be displayed for the public to see and kept together to respect and honour the past scholars, present and future members of Lyrupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We identified the Club as the best of the venues weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got available to us at the moment and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accepted the responsibility of looking after them and keeping them on display in memory of Lyrup Primary School.

â&#x2013; HISTORY: With the Lyrup Primary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorabilia at the Lyrup Club are (from left) principal John Trobbiani, Tony Smith and Club manager Emma Kruger with students Breanna, Hayden and Bryce Schultz, (back) Jesse Hill and Shannon Slugget. Photo: BRAD PERRY â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (the memorabilia) a faboulous memory of those people and the school and it should be kept together as much as we can.â&#x20AC;?

Lyrup Club manager Emma Kruger said the community would now be able to regularly view the historic items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great that we can take

it on to keep it in the community so it is not forgotten,â&#x20AC;? she said. Items now at the Club included the Lyrup Primary School honour board, an honour roll for previous scholars who fought in World War One, a framed 1934 school photo and a framed river scape by Tony Smith. A number of the items created plenty of interest at the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Come Back to Lyrup Primaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day on November 18 attended by more than 400 people. The future of the school building and property itself is still undecided, according to Mr Trobbiani. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is not a definite decision made yet,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a clear process thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s followed, it will be offered to government departments and if the government departments are interested theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put forward a case to buy it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that is not taken up it will be offered to Renmark Paringa Council and if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elect to take it over, it will be put up for sale by private tender.â&#x20AC;?

riaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horticulture industry. Mr Walsh said there were more than 100 outbreaks in Victoria currently and an additional $10 million had been spent to fight fruit fly in the past two years. On the day of the Victorian Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement to reinstate fruit fly measures, Biosecurity South Australia released a reminder to travellers to be aware of the strict bans on bringing fuit and vegetables into

South Australia. It has stepped up its summer campaign against fruit fly. Biosecurity SAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compliance manager Mark Langman warned that people who attempted to bring fruit or fruiting vegetables into the state could face a hefty fine for ignoring quarantine restrictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the capacity to run random roadblocks at any time, in any part of the state â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but especially to protect the Fruit

Fly Free Exclusion Zone in our Riverland,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently issued 33 expiations to people who thought they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry about our plant health laws. Each will now receive a fine of $375.â&#x20AC;? Mr Langman said further random roadblocks were scheduled as part of increased vigilance to protect angainst fruit fly coming into South Australia from the eastern states or Western Australia.

South Australian Senator Anne Ruston said the support given to the Murray Darling Basin Plan by the Coalition was a great result for irrigators and the environment.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For over a century we have been treating the rivers in the Murray Darling Basin as though they ended at state borders,â&#x20AC;? Senator McEwen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rivers simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work like that and across the Basin we have seen over allocation leading to environmental degradation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a huge achievement for everyone involved; an unparalleled opportunity to ensure a sustainable future for Basin communities.â&#x20AC;?

MEMBER for Chaffey Tim Whetstone has labelled the decision to table the Murray Darling Basin Plan in Parliament as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a day to remember for the Murray River in South Australia and the entire Murray-Darling Basinâ&#x20AC;?. During a speech in Parliament this week following progress on the Murray Darling Basin Plan, Mr Whetstone said he is pleased the document has moved forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We no longer have a guide to the draft of the basin plan and we no longer have the final draft of the basin plan,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is (a) 2750 gigalitre plan for water to be put back into the river system and the environment for the health and sustainability of the river and for me it is a great day.â&#x20AC;? With the plan in Parliament it must now wait 15 days from when it was tabled before it can potentially become law. Mr Whetstone said there was still a lot of hard work to be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have to achieve about 1200 gigalitres of water and of that South Australia has to contribute around 83 gigalitres; so that is where the hard work really does start,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Whetstone questioned the State Government about where the remaining 83 gigalitres will come from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Water Industry Alliance is going to be critically important to the regional communities on the river, to my community for the 40 gigalitres that needs to be achieved, with a funding package of around

WAIKERIE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT

Waikerie’s colourful pageant to fill the streets tomorrow

AIKERIE’S main street will come alive tomorrow night with the much anticipated Lions Waikerie Christmas Pageant. From an array of floats, vintage cars, musical entertainment, colourful flower displays, scrumptious food and a variety of stalls, there promises to be something for everyone at this year’s pageant. The Riverland Vintage and Classic Car Club will complete two laps of the pageant circuit from 6.15pm before making way for the colourful floats from local businesses and organisations. At 6.30pm the pageant will begin from the Civic Centre, going down Crush Terrace, along White Street, up McCoy Street and to the top of the round-a-bout, completing two rounds of the circuit. One of the highlights of the pageant will be the South

Australian Police Band, which will lead the floats showing off their talents through their instruments. Santa will arrive on his float at the end of the pageant and his entrance to the town signals the opening of Santa’s Cave at the Waikerie Institute. Prizes for best floats over a number of categories will be awarded during the pageant. Up to 35 floats are expected for this year’s event, according to pageant co-ordinator Jan Heppner. “There’s four categories of floats, so there is always competition there,” she said. It is expected there will be no shortage of entertainment at the event with one of the highlights being chalk art for children, decorating the streets before the pageant begins. A 10 metre high rock climbing wall is likely to be

popular amongst children, while sideshow alley is always a hit with the youth. Delicious food stalls will be available in the Civic Centre and several local bands will be playing in the streets of Waikerie. Mrs Heppner said the pageant is a time for the community to gather and socialise in a family friendly atmosphere. “The wonderful thing is that everybody gets out for the Christmas pageant, they all come and meet their friends and neighbours and people they haven’t seen since the last pageant,” she said. “It seems to be a nice community gathering, as well as the spectacular we can put on with the pageant. “Santa arrives on pageant night and the cave is officially opened on pageant night, so it is generally a busy time for Santa, I think he is run off his feet.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Have your say about the issues that affect you.

Political will needed AT A MEETING earlier this year Central Irrigation Trust officers prepared a graph that separated out the substantial carbon tax component of the Trust’s electricity costs. You may remember the Federal Government’s promotional spin that only big users would pay but, of course, that tax had had to be factored into, and had increased significantly, Riverland irrigators’ water charges. There was a huge component in the electricity supplier’s pricing graph that the Trust said was nonnegotiable. Infrastructure has to be maintained but further reading alleges that when government sold public utilities to foreign investors they generously made them a guarantee of profit. The lucky and the strong may enjoy airconditioned comfort during heat waves but financially challenged Australians such as pensioners and the working poor will have to turn off their airconditioners. The result is many vulnerable people will die of the heat. In the February 2009 heat wave that preceded the Black Saturday bushfires, 374 mainly elderly Victorians died as a consequence of blackouts and brown outs in Melbourne’s privatised power infrastructure. The shut downs of energy intensive industries may ease demand and the need for new infrastructure but the collapsing physical economy’s job losses mean more people under employed on welfare. The Federal Government’s proposal to protect those vulnerable people from the power rises with

smart meters sounds like a scam. Vulnerable consumers’ ability to shift usage patterns in response to pricing signals won’t help while power suppliers are driving prices like they are and no help at all once their power is disconnected and they are surviving on food vouchers. People were promised cheaper power - not poverty and persecution by power providers. Australia has the world’s cheapest and largest resources of coal, natural gas and oil, and could produce the cheapest electricity in the world if only Australia governments would return to national banking and finance public electricity infrastructure at one to two per cent interest over 20 to 30 years. Then real price control and employment could begin again. The outright profiteering by foreign owners of Australia’s utilities is corporate thievery and should be illegal. Government sold the utilities - they could fix their monumental mistake by compulsorily acquiring

them back and nationalising them. Only governments can reduce the cost of electricity, (and water), for Australian producers and households, but have they the political will? Jeanette Staehr, Barmera.

Basin diversification THE ENSHRINING of the final Murray Darling Basin Plan into law this week was an historic moment for Basin communities; a minority Federal Labor Government has succeeded where previous governments have failed. The final plan will not only create a sustainable river system that supports communities, irrigators and the river itself, it will also ensure the long-term viability of the region. By supporting economic diversification in the Murray Darling Basin region, the Federal Government is enabling communities to build

on their local knowledge and local solutions to transform their comparative advantage into competitive advantage. The Basin communities understand the importance of learning how to live in a water-constrained environment. I have travelled the regions and seen first-hand the work Basin communities and industries have been doing to develop creative, long term solutions that support the move towards a more sustainable future. This funding will build on this commitment and on the existing work Basin communities have been undertaking in partnership with the Federal Government and the Murraylands and Riverland Regional Development Australia (RDA) committee since last November to identify potential projects that will diversify their skills and economic base. It is about working with the Murraylands and Riverland RDAs and communities to join the dots and achieve practical solutions that stack up. Partnerships are key to ensuring Basin communities continue to thrive now and into the future. I look forward to partnering with the South Australian Government, Basin communities and RDA committees on these important projects and to working together to restore the river system to health. Simon Crean, Regional Development Minister.

I am usually a great customer of Australia Post at this time of year as I have a large family in England and Europe. They all look forward to their Christmas card and Australian calendar. Last year, to send a calendar and a card cost me just over $4; this was airmail as there is no sea mail except for parcels. With two recent price hikes in two weeks, the cost has skyrocketed to $6.20 for anything up to 500 grams. I am now in a financial position where I am going to have to disappoint my many relatives because my Christmas mail bill will be prohibitive. To say that I am disgusted is an understatement but what I don’t understand is why Australia Post would be going to such lengths to actually discourage business? I cannot help wondering whether Australia Post and paper mail will still be around in 10 years or will it be email only, couriers companies carrying parcels and B-Pay as the only option to pay accounts. In my opinion, anyone employed by Australia Post or with a franchise, should be very concerned indeed. Alex Hodges, Birdwood.

NIGEL FIDDLER

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

Elva is Nildottie’s garden queen FOR the past 20 years, 87-year-old Nildottie resident Elva Stengert has spent almost every day in Prosser Park in the main street of the town. During that time she has been planting, raking, weeding, watering and caring for this area for the enjoyment of locals and visitors to the town. As a result of her community efforts, the Mid Murray Council, in conjunction with the Nildottie Progress & Soldiers Memorial Hall

Association, recently unveiled a community seat with a plaque engraved with the inscription ‘Elva’s Garden’. During the unveiling at the park, Elva was presented with a framed certificate of appreciation. More than 50 people attended the presentation in the park then a luncheon in the local hall, including all of Elva’s five children and many of her 14 grandchildren (picutred). Elva regularly attends the Nildottie Progress

meetings, collects newspapers for recycling by the Mannum Lutheran Parish and has recently installed solar panels for her home. Rather than slowing down, she continues her community involvement and is a valued member of the small community. The next time you are travelling through Nildottie, call in at Prosser Park in the main street. Chances are, Elva will be there, looking after the plants and she loves a chat.

AND ANOTHER THING...

Waikerie man’s big Movember shave off WAIKERIE man Brian Oliver has been participating in Movember, raising money for Beyond Blue and prostate cancer, but it is now time to shave off his moustache. Brian (pictured) is one of several Waikerie residents participating in Movember and said he just wanted to do his bit to help. At the Waikerie Bowling Club at 1.30pm on Sunday, Brian is inviting members of the public to join him for the Big Shave Off. “Even though this has been fun and it is for a great cause, I will be glad to have a clean face again,” Brian said. If you would like to make a donation towards this great cause, go to http://au.movember. com, type in Brian Oliver in the search engine and click on the

Local Riverlinx camp By Kingston-on-Murray Primary School year 4 student Tilly RECENTLY John Hartley Primary School (from Adelaide) came to our school for Riverlinx camp. They spent nearly three days here on site and we taught them about environmental issues and what we do about them at Kingston-on-Murray Primary School. The activities they participated in were ‘macro invertebrates’ at Banrock station with ranger Christophe, Loch Luna Cruises to spot bird life with Captain Carl, canoeing with Mr West, ‘Don’t be a Drip’ presentations telling them about what they can do to save water, ‘Worms’ showing them how to make a worm

farm, ‘Auzzie Mozzie’ educating the students on safety around mosquitos, ‘River Fish’ allowing them to learn about what is good for the river and bad for the river, ‘Water Watch Snapshot’ informing them of the testing we do with the Murray River water to help with its health and ‘Tidddalick’ telling the dreamtime story. Not only did we get to help the John Hartley students learn more about our river we made lots of new friends too.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY Extended contract sees continued local community support THE Australian Government recently awarded contracts to organisations to provide disability employment services through a competitive tender.

IDPwD celebrates 20th anniversary THIS year is the 20th anniversary of International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD), a United Nations sanctioned day. The event seeks to increase awareness of the benefits of the integration of people with disability in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. In 1992, at the conclusion of the United Nations Decade of Disabled Persons (19831992), the General Assembly proclaimed December 3 as the International Day of Disabled Persons. Since 1996, the Federal Government has provided funds to promote and raise awareness of IDPwD around Australia, through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA). The commemoration of IDPwD in 2012 provides an opportunity to address the exclusion of persons with

Getting Hitched!

10 • Riverland Weekly – Thursday November 29, 2012

Tara Bassham & Jason Pipe Scott’s (groomsman at our wedding) houseboat for the holidays which is where we met and the relationship continued from there.

Ceremony location: Bert Dix Park, Paringa. Reception location: Renmark Club Number of guests: 75 Where did you meet: My family has a houseboat at Walker Flat, as does my aunty and uncle. Jason was up at my cousin

Ph: 8588 7021

Where and how did you get engaged: I pestered Jason one weekend to look at rings with me and he refused. This resulted in me getting upset and buying two new kittens instead. The next weekend I again pestered him to look at rings and his fear of what and how many animals I would go and buy if he refused again resulted in us becoming engaged that day. He officially gave me the ring in the car in the car park but I made him ask me again properly in the lounge room when we got home.

The perfect location... for your perfect day!

to talk about your special day

Challenges: While planning the wedding, not being able to speak to suppliers face-to-face in Renmark, Berri and Loxton was a challenge as we come from Adelaide. In the end though it was made a lot easier by everyone whom I dealt with. Our celebrant Lori Fielke was amazing, replying to every email I sent no matter what, even when she was on holidays in Sydney! Our florist

from Berri was just as reliable, creating the flowers I wanted just from photos that I emailed. When I saw them for the first time on the day they were just like the pictures. Lyn at Renmark club was amazing, everything ran so smoothly and our guests made many comments on how lovely the staff were. The Renmark Hotel was fantastic and made everything so straight forward that accommodating our guests was a breeze. The biggest challenge by far was transporting a four tier cake from Adelaide. Unfortunately my cake had to come from Adelaide because bakers in the Riverland were booked out even 12 months prior to my wedding as it turns out there were a lot of weddings in the region on the 10/11/12. Luckily my amazing parents came to the rescue and transported the cake to Renmark for the three hour jouney on Thursday, November 8, with ice packed around the creation and a very nervous mother in the passenger seat.

Lyn at the Renmark Club kindly let us store the cake in their big fridge until the wedding. My parents then turned around and returned to Adelaide the same day to help with final preparations only to get up at 5am the following morning to return to Renmark to get the houseboat we hired. It had to go under the morning bridge lift at Paringa and be put in front of the Renmark Club so it was ready for the bridal party when they arrived.

Kisses that dad and I had talked about since I was a little girl. Wedding song: Le Anne Rimes - How Do I Live Without You Celebrant: Lori Fielke Unique aspect: We are now Mr and Mrs Bassham as Jason decide to take my surname.

Favourite moments: Seeing our little puppy all dressed up in his suit was a highlight. Spending not just an amazing day but an amazing weekend with all of our closest family and friends was also a highlight. We really are thankful to have so many people that care about us and were willing to make the journey from Adelaide to Renmark to spend our special day with us. One special favourite moment for me personally was the father and daughter dance to Butterfly

Sophisticated Diamonds

Honeymoon: Bangkok, Phuket and Kuala Lumpur.

0OWERING THE 2IVERLAND SINCE

■ THE Mid Murray Cricket Association held a Twenty20 competition at Waikerie on Saturday. After both Waikerie Gold and Perponda had won two matches, Gold was victorious when the two teams clashed in the final fixture of the day. In that contest, Brad Gay scored 73 and Andrew Bevan 36 in Waikerie Gold’s 9 for 170 with Jason Ashenden grabbing 3 for 22 and Zac Schubert 3 for 28 for Perponda. In reply Perponda fell short at 6 for 153 with Josh Rudiger contributing 49 and Chris Rudiger 33. Earlier, Waikerie Gold (Andrew Bevan 88) scored 3 for 129 in reply to 7 for 124 from Blanchetown Swan Reach (Scott McKenzie 78).

Morgan struggled to 123 all out against spirited bowling from Jeremy Jaeger (5 for 13) but then Gold removed Morgan for 112 with Luke Exten capturing 3 for 26. Perponda’s two victories came when it scored 6 for 133 (Josh Rudiger 80, Max Baddack 3 for 13) in reply to Morgan’s 7 for 130 (David Sutherland 51) and 5 for 120 (Ashenden 35) after BSR had made 5 for 118 (McKenzie 46, Chris Giles 44). Meanwhile, one thing I dread while putting my various columns together is mistakes. But as careful as one can be they still occur. I must take responsibility for continuing to refer to Waikerie Gold as the reigning premier in the Mid Murray

Cricket Association. Of course Blanchetown Swan Reach won the 2011-12 Grand Final and I offer them my sincere apology for the errors. In Riverland Turf Cricket, Berri set Waikerie-Ramco 213 to chase with Paul Burnett top scoring on 69. Kym Taylor was the best of the Waikerie-Ramco bowlers with 4/35. In the other match, Loxton produced a discplined bowling effort to dismiss Renmark for 124. Young Adam Jackson produced a classy 39 and was the only batsman to get more than 15. Jake Albrecht did the damage with 5/34. In response, Loxton is 2/30.

Cobdogla B and Loxton A on top of softball ladder ■ COBDOGLA team B joined Berri and Loxton A on four wins and eight points on the senior grade softball ladder after defeating Loxton A, the reigning premier, 10-9 in an exciting clash on Saturday. Bec Thomas, Jodie Sullivan and Bronwyn Smith were outstanding for Cobby B, while for the Loxton team, having played one more game than its two rivals, Haylee Symens, Amy Lidgerwood and Kelly Westley stood out. In other matches, Berri (Chris Eleftheriadis, Tammy Dowdy, Kenny Karpany) continued its winning ways defeating Waikerie (Sarah Schiller, Noeline Ogle, Nicholas Hocking) 19-4 and on the previous Wednesday night, Loxton B (Jessica Voigt, Ra-

chel Symens, Emmie Richardson) won against Cobdogla A (Julie Cook, Gloria Dyer, Sally Harriot) 14-6. Also there was some terrific contests in the other competitions including Waikerie defeating Berri 12-10 in C grade and Berri winning 26-25 over Loxton and Waikerie 22-19 against Renmark in the two primary matches. In the senior grade, Loxton A has the bye this Saturday so in the clash between Berri and Cobby B the sides are playing for top spot outright. Meanwhile, baseball last Friday night was looking for closer contests and in the Renmark Blue versus Berri at Glassey Park clash it got it everywhere but on

the scoreboard. Renmark Blue, inspired by Stefan Best with the bat and David Grenfell pitching, defeated the defending champion surprisingly easily 7-0. In the early game at Glassey Park, in a clash of two development teams Berri Blue’s seven run first innings and a brilliant all round performance with bat and ball by Ashley Rogers saw it go on to defeat Renmark White 13-4. In the other game, good pitching performances from Roy Grenfell for Lyrup and Roger Taylor for Loxton at Loxton called on some special efforts with the bat and Lyrup produced them to win 6-2.

THE 2012/13 Riverland swimming season is off to a fantastic start with the first of the Riverland interclub carnivals held in Loxton on Friday night. A warm evening and warm water helped to put swimmers in the mood for competition, with competitor numbers the highest in some time. There were 27 swimmers competing for the first time at a Riverland interclub and registering their times to allow them to be graded for the upcoming carnivals. A significant number of these new swimmers were

from either Loxton or Waikerie swimming clubs, which is a great start to the season for both of these clubs who have struggled with swimmer numbers in the past few seasons. Renmark have also attracted new swimmers to their club, while numbers for Berri have stayed similar to previous years. Swimmers from all clubs performed very well in the first carnival for the season, with many registering personal best times. Renmark finished on top with 271 points, Berri had 247, Loxton 222 and Waikerie 142.

After competing on Friday night, several Riverland families then travelled to the Gawler Open carnival on Saturday to give swimmers a chance to swim in the Gawler swimming pool prior to the 2013 SA Country Championships, which will be hosted by Gawler. Berri’s Matthew Nourse was one standout swimmer, winning his 100m backstroke event in a time of one minute and 25 seconds. The first of the pennant carnivals will be held on Friday night, with Waikerie hosting Berri and Renmark hosting Loxton.

Berri junior selected by Hawthorn in AFL draft

Swimming passion

■ THE Brand family name has been prominent in Berri and Riverland sport over many years and reached new heights when Kaiden Brand was snapped up by Hawthorn at pick number 66 during last week’s AFL National Draft. Kaiden moved to Adelaide two years ago to play with West Adelaide and is the son of two of the Riverland’s most well known sports people. Both have had long careers with Kaiden’s dad Allan a former champion with the Berri Demons, while his mum Jo is one of the best netballers to ever grace the courts in the Riverland.

Strong cycling participation ■ NUMBERS continue to grow at the Riverland Cycling Club’s Tuesday night criterium meetings with 27 participating last week, including four newcomers from Loxton. Fast times were again produced in good weather conditions with Shane Pitman winning in the A grade from Steve Jaensch and Jacob Otto, while the B grade went to Craig Spilsbury, C grade to Glen O’Brien and D grade to Bob Pankhurst. A few days earlier a head wind made the first 25 kilometres to the turn around spot of the Lindsay Point Handicap tough going but in the end Peter Burr put in an exceptional performance to chase down a group ahead of him with 10 kilometres to go and then head to the finish for an impressive win. Lee Rasheed was next to the line, with Ruth Strout in third and club champion Steve Jaensch recorded the fastest time from the scratch starting group.

Vander Meyden on top ■ AT THE Waikerie Golf Club over the past week, Hans Vander Meyden was the winner in a Wednesday stableford with 30 points ahead of Derek Greenfield and Craig Davis on 35. On Saturday Davis took out division one of a similar competition with 39 points. Division two went to Craig Robinson, 39 points, with other leading scores belonging to Jack Sullivan, 38, Vince King, 37, Philip Isaacson and Terry Harris, 36. Paul Stringer also had a good day featuring in longest drive and nearest the pin acknowledgements. At the Barmera club Mike Rumball with plus five took out a par competition on Saturday followed by Joffa Rosebergen, Gary Denton and Paul Baker, all with plus four, while Phil Selfe was plus

Trevorrow named champion ■ TONY Trevorrow has been named Renmark and Berri Field and Game Club’s Champion of Champions for 2012. In the club’s final event of the year, Sheryl Beer won the main event, a handicap 50 target shoot.

Swimming Australia’s Local Legends program aims to recognise and reward members of clubs who give up their time to volunteer in clubs across Australia. As part of the program, a swimming volunteer is acknowledged each month.

Olympians compete in Rowing SA Regatta ■ AS many as three Olympians will compete in the Rowing SA Regatta being held at Berri this weekend. Berri Rowing Club is hosting the annual event that is held alternately by the Berri and Renmark clubs. Berri Rowing Club captain Paul Othams, said, “indications from accommodation sources and the state body are that between 600 to 800 competitors can be expected”. Olympic rowers that have nominated to take part in the event include Murray Bridge’s James McRae who has competed in the men’s quad crew at two Olympic Games, Bryne Couldraye from Adelaide who is a men’s eights rower and Renee Chat-

terton from Adelaide University who took part at the Olympics in the Australian women’s eights. McRae has an Olympic bronze medal. Any plans for former Loxton North rower Alexander Hill, who is now a member of the Adelaide Rowing Cl Club, have changed.

Alex, who has been a member of Australian crews that have won a junior world fours title and bronze medals in eights has just received an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship and will depart for Canberra on

with NSW’s Loretta Funnell, who he partnered to finish runner-up in the national tournament two years ago, to take out the mixed doubles title and together with Victorian Ron Frost, finished runner-up in the men’s doubles. Then in the tri state clash, which is for players 35 years and

Hill and Kearns defeated Freeling pair Sykes/ Grantham 23-13, Loxton’s Graeme Huppatz and Trevor Schulz 18-13 and in the final, Lyndoch’s Peter Uranjek and

Chris Rule 23-15. The previous day in Riverland men’s pennants top division one team, Berri ended Renmark’s winning run 9981, Loxton made a late dash, as Trevor Schulz’ rink picked up late shots against Brian Burnett to come from behind to win 84-78 over Waikerie and Barmera moved up to unfamiliar territory to grab third position on the table when John Morena’s team grabbed some late shots

A number of schools also tend to stay on after the regatta for training camps utilising our excellent river conditions. Othams said estimates are that the event brings in about $250,000 for the region.

“It puts rowing in the spotlight for the Riverland,” he said. Local hopes include Berri club members Othams and Sue Skinner. The laides quad, featuring Skinner, won gold in the event last year. The river frontage involved offers good viewing and entry is free. Catering will include barbecues and refreshments. Racing over the two days will be non-stop with a new event every five minutes or so and involving around 70 races per day. Competition starts at 10am on Saturday and continues until 6pm and on Sunday the program runs from 8am to 2pm.

SPORT

A night of sporting legend ■ FOLLOWING Friday night’s annual 5RM – Berri Resort Hotel – SGIC Riverland Sportsperson of the Year Presentation Dinner at the Berri Resort Hotel, the General Manager of Riverland Radio Cheryl Lardner said “the Sportsperson of the Year awards dinner was a huge success presented to an absolutely packed house”. Having the five inaugural Inductees into the Riverland Legends of Sport, all represented on the night, had a huge effect but there also seemed to be new interest and enthusiasm surrounding the other awards as well. Brad Gallard, the champion off-road driver took out the senior Sportsperson of the Year award following his brilliant double during the year in winning outright and in his Extreme 2WD Class both the Finke Desert Race in the Northern Territory and the Goondawindi 400 in Queensland. Brad had been nominated for this award in previous years for both speed waterskiing and off-road racing but it was obvious from his acceptance speech that despite some of the spectacular successes he had enjoyed over his career, this sports award in his home patch was one he really treasured. The 35th 5RM/Berri Ltd Steve McFarlane Contribution to Sport award went to Loxton’s Rex Fielke in recognition of his long involvement in everything from media work to behind the scenes roles with the Riverland Football League and Loxton Football and Bowling Clubs. Another 5RM/Berri Ltd award, the John Ormsby Coach of the Year went to Berri River Rangers’ Steve Atkinson. Almost in a state of shock after receiving the award, Steven remarked that he had not thought too much about an acceptance speech but had been concentrating on the one he had to make the next day when he was to be married. Also from the big field of local talent, Loxton volleyballer Riley Stone took home the 37th trophy presentation for the Beaurepaires Junior Sports Star of the Year award. The season saw Riley involved in both indoor and beach versions of the sport and he is well on the way to a fine future at top level. I had the pleasure of briefly interviewing Doug Fieldhouse

representing his late daughter, champion water skier Sue, evergreen lawn bowler Audrey Hefford, former Major League USA baseballer Luke Prokopec, AFL Crows legend Mark Ricciuto and Olympic Hockey gold medallist Grant Schubert, the inaugural inductees into the Riverland Legends of Sport. What great people. And my short chat with them left me with no doubt that they took this new honour very seriously. For example, Mark Ricciuto had interrupted what must be a hectic life and business schedule and Grant Schubert made a rushed trip from Western Australia for the occasion. I had one common question for them that I thought would interest the audience. What was the highlight and greatest memory from their illustrious careers? Doug Fieldhouse felt that for Sue it would have been setting a world record in Women’s Slalom in London in 1981 amongst a host of other outstanding performances. Audrey Hefford provided the audience with some laughs when asked the question including rating one tournament above any medals she had won with Australian teams “because I won $8000”. Luke Prokopec predictably settled on finally breaking into the Major League with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2000 after dealing with homesickness in the USA and working his way to the top through what is a proverbial mine field. The much decorated Mark Ricciuto was also predictable in talking about the team achievements he has been involved in.

Of course the Adelaide Crows 2008 premiership topped the billing but he still found time to reflect on the flags he won with home club Waikerie. For Grant Schubert it had to be the Olympic Gold medal of 2004. He also had a host of issues to reflect on from a career of 180 games and 98 goals with the Kookaburras. Now retired from international hockey, Grant was looking forward to returning to Perth over the weekend to join his wife Julie for the arrival of their first child. Further words from Cheryl Lardner are worth quoting. A fresh alternative for “To have an official space promoting your products to acknowledge the greats of Riverland sport has now been realised and from here it is onwards and upwards,” she said. “On Friday night we inducted Sue Fieldhouse, Audrey Hefford, Mark Ricciuto, Luke Prokopec and Grant Schubert into our Riverland Legends of Sport but it is obvious that there are many, many others from over the years who have qualified to be added in the future. “Per head of population is there any other region in Country Australia that has produced so many sportspeople of this calibre?” I can see bum6AUGHAN 4CE "ERRI s Ph 8582 3899 per stickers stating 3HOP #HAFFEY #OLONNADES 2ENMARK s Ph 8586 “The Riverland – We produce Sporting www.riverlandpremiersports.com.au Legends”.

High praise for Berri volunteer By GRAHAM CHARLTON BERRI Swimming Club president Jenni Trewren has won Swimming Australia’s inaugural Local Legend of the Year award from more than 400 nominations. Trewren was thrilled to receive the national award but said she would have settled for being at the Melbourne event on the weekend. She and her children Sarah and Timothy were among more than 400 guests of Swimming Australia. “We witnessed Alicia Coutts being named Australia’s Swimmer of the Year for the second time after her five medals at the London Olympic Games,” she said. “It was an amazing experience to be seated adjacent to swimming greats such as Stephanie Rice, James Magnessen, Libby Trickett, Matt Cowdrey and Jacqueline Freney.” Freney, with her eight gold medals at the London Paralympic Games, was named Multiclass Swimmer of the Year and Cowdrey, who at those games became Australia’s most successful paralympian, was crowned Swimmers’ Choice winner. Berri Swimming Club member Hayden Stoeckel was named in the International All Star team for 2012. ■ Continued Page 22
