REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY WORKS on Berri’s busiest road could be closed off to passing traffic following concerns raised by Berri Barmera Council staff over a high number of drivers speeding through the area.

The Berri Barmera Council may be forced to close traffic alongside the roadworks on Crawford Terrace as motorists continue to put the safety of workers at risk by ignoring the 25 kilometre per hour restriction.

Berri Barmera Council infrastructure services manager Greg Perry said outdoor staff have even been forced to signal at motorists to slow down.

“With the jobs we’ve got

set up on Crawford Terrace and Kay Avenue people actually aren’t going down to 25 kilometres per hour like they should be,” he said.

“The workers quite often either tell people or make gestures to slow down but some of them blatantly ignore them.

“The 25 kilometre per hour speed limit isn’t very fast but it is designed to be slow enough so the workers out there have got some sort of mechanism to ensure their safety.”

IT seems the Berri Barmera Council has almost been forced to take the law into its own hands when it comes to dealing with motorists speeding through roadworks.

Fed up with motorists’ constant disregard for the speed limits, council

We need to show more patience on the road workers have been stopping to signal to drivers to slow down.

After all it is not only for the staff’s sake but also for the public and the drivers.

Let’s be honest, it can be frustrating and cause delays but slowing down to obey the roadworks speed limit is the law, whether we like it or not.

The Riverland has a track record of motor-

ists ignoring speed limits at roadworks.

Last year 27 drivers were caught going too fast through works on the Sturt Highway in Waikerie.

There is a reason speed limit restrictions are in place during roadworks and if our motorists keep ignoring them, it is only a matter of time before we see what the consequences really are.

two weeks old and we haven’t been apart ever since.�

Previously Lauren travelled to Japan and since then has wanted to head overseas again. “Initially when I got back from overseas the first time, I said to mum and dad, ‘where to next?’� she said. “Instead of just taking a gap year and working in the Riverland which is a little bit difficult, I thought I would travel. “I went to a rotary meeting for a different topic and they asked, ‘have you looked at our exchange programs?’.�

Lauren has been preparing for her trip by learning the Danish language, collecting gifts for host families and preparing presentations on Australia and the Riverland to be shown to schools and rotary clubs while she is away.

Winkie’s Emma Pront will also take part in a student exchange through the Rotary Club of Berri and she is heading to Belgium for 12 months.

Italian pianist in the region INTERNATIONAL pianist Luigi Fracasso will be playing in the Riverland next week as part of the Murray River International Music Festival.

The renowned musician will play at the Chaffey Theatre in Renmark on Wednesday from 7.30pm.

The performance is being hosted by the theatre in partnership with Arts Mildura and the Renmark Arts Council.

Tickets are $20 and can be booked through the Chaffey Theatre.

DVD hire to shut its doors BERRI’S only DVD hiring business will close its doors at the end of January after the business failed to find an buyer.

The William Street store is selling all its stock with plans to close the doors by January 31.

Video Ezy owner Elisha Brown said family reasons are behind the closure after operating the business in Berri for the past five years. “The decision behind it is family based, I’ve got two small children and find it difficult to run a business and have a family life as well,� she said. “The choice was hard because I really enjoy it but I’ve been paying a manager who has been working in here for two

years...so she’s ventured on and got a new job for herself. “It’s sad for Berri to have the only DVD store and big name Video Ezy go.�

Mrs Brown said there was “a little bit of interest� in purchasing the business during its nine month stint on the market. “I’m surprised nobody has bought it,� she said.

Downloading of films may have had an impact on the business but is not the reason behind its closure, according to Mrs Brown. “Definitely the past couple of years it has declined, I think people are holding their money close to their chest,� she said.

“Possibly downloading may have had a small impact but definitely not enough impact to close the business down.�

Meanwhile, popular eatery Cragg’s Creek Cafe on the Berri riverfront has also shut its doors.

The establishment did not reopen after going into the Christmas and New Year break.

Berri Barmera Mayor Peter Hunt hopes the facility is used again very soon given its popularity with tourists and locals. “We certainly need something there for tourism,� he said. “It is sad to see it closed and we don’t have a lot of sites in Berri or Barmera with views such as where that is situated.�

â– CLOSING: Video Ezy in Berri is closing its doors on January 31 for family reasons and has been unable to sell the business following nine months on the market.

Hotel owner hopes for new signage OVERLAND Corner Hotel owner Phil Reddy will use the public’s feedback to launch a bid seeking more appropriate signage to lead tourists to the historic site.

After taking over the running of the hotel last year, Mr Reddy and his wife Renske received comments from visitors for 74 days straight regarding problems with signage guiding people to the popular tourist attraction. “It was disappointing that within the first days of being in the hotel we got so many notifi-

cations from people saying it is really frustrating trying to find the Overland Corner Hotel because the sign postage is not there,� Mr Reddy said. “Yet they saw sign postage like Loch Luna National Park, which is a huge sign. “We even had the Nuriootpa Probus Club come here and they were so adamant, they sent me the copies of the letters they sent to the tourism commission requesting better signage.�

Mr Reddy said the Riverland’s oldest hotel deserves larger signage off the main highways,

XUV 550 GATOR .OTHING 2UNS LIKE A $EERE s (0 s 6 TWIN s #64 4RANSMISSION s * OHN $EERE &INANCE AVAILABLE

along with new signage to replace those that are outdated. “It’s clearly evident that we don’t have enough good signage to get to this location,� he said. “It’s the oldest hotel in the Riverland, very much unchanged from its original condition. “It’s an icon and we should be trying to attract as many people here as possible.�

In a bid to upgrade signage, Mr Reddy said he plans to meet with the local council and write to Senator Anne Ruston and Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone.

Barmera arsonist arrested A 17-year-old Barmera male was arrested by Riverland detectives on Monday and charged with intentionally setting a bushfire.

It is alleged the youth had set a fire in the Loch Luna Game Reserve on September 24, 2012, and police forensic evidence from the scene was used to locate him.

He was bailed to appear in the Berri Youth Court at a later date.

Meanwhile, children playing with matches are believed to be the reason behind a grass fire in Matthews Street at Waikerie this week.

CFS and local police attended the scene of the fire at about 3.40pm on Tuesday where a small shed, a pushbike and some fencing was damaged by the flames.

Grinspoon frontman leads tour raising awareness of mental health

Berri to rock out BIG name band members, including Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson, will visit the Riverland next Thursday as part of an initiative to raise awareness of mental health.

Jamieson will be joined in Berri by up to 10 musician and media personalities, including CEO of Big Day Out Adam Zammit, Jamieson’s wife Julie and mates Chris Joannou (Silverchair), Jake Stone (Bluejuice), Merrick Watts (MMM), Paul Mac (Musician/Producer on Big Day Out line-up), Nathan Hindmarsh (Parramatta Eels), Kate Peck (MTV Presenter) and Steve Andrews (Black Dog Ride).

The group will jump on their motorbikes following the Big Day Out on the Gold Coast and travel to six regional centres across Australia in five days playing music to promote headspace.

Headspace Riverland manager Kerril Vowles said the tour acknowledges the work that is done to tackle mental health in the region.

“The belief is that by having an entourage of high profile musicians

the stigma that surrounds mental health,” she said.

“What they are hoping the tour will do is encourage young people and people in the Riverland, in our instance, to talk more openly about these issues and perhaps even seek help for some stuff they have not been confident to do in the past.

“It provides us with an opportunity to showcase that we are a service that has now been in the region for four years, we are here to stay, we are here to help young people.”

The Rock N Ride concert will take place on the Berri riverfront on January 24 from 12pm with acoustic performances from Phil Jamieson, Paul Mac and Chris Joannou.

During the Berri stop, the Rock N Ride riders will meet and greet the local community, media and youths of headspace joining them for lunch, autograph signing, photo opportunities, and giveaways.

Local four piece band McKenzie will also be playing on the day.

Crawford Terrace’s new median strip

BERRI’S busiest road is undergoing an upgrade to provide safer crossings for pedestrians and to add a more aesthetic appeal for motorists entering the town.

Despite concerns from some members of the public over the reduction of parallel car parking on the western side of Crawford Terrace, the works, which will add a median strip to the street, have gone ahead.

Berri Barmera Council infrastructure services manager Greg Perry said businesses along Crawford Terrace were consulted prior to works beginning.

“They loved the concept,” he said.

Funding from the Road to Recovery program is being used to add a median strip with a pedestrian crossing and trees.

“The hot mix had basically come to the end of its life and it was actually starting to break up and crocodile crack which means it can’t be remediated,” Mr Perry said.

“It was going to get profiled out to relay asphalt or hot mix back down

“There will still be parking on the actual shop side, the dentist side, that won’t be any different to what it is now,” Mr Perry said.

Mr Perry said adding in pedestrian crossings on the busy road is very important.

“They’ll be able to cross a little bit safer than crossing the whole width in one hit like they do at the moment,” he said.

According to the November council agenda, council has allocated $80,000 towards the Crawford Terrace works.

Council calls on motorists to obey speed limits at roadworks to ensure safety SKBC1_9_375x92

there but council took it to their Berri Beautification Committee and they said they’d like to see it similar to Kay Avenue to have a median strip.

“What elected members said was it is one of the busiest roads coming into Berri and it actually is just a big black expanse and they said they would like to break it up a bit and make it a bit softer on the eye.”

Parallel parking will remain on the eastern side with the shaded site opposite Crawford Terrace encouraged as another parking area.

■ From Page 1 Mr Perry said council has spoken to police about the continued disregard for the speed limit around the roadworks by some motorists.

“We have talked to the police and they said for some of the sites that are longer term, if we ask, they will actually sit there and book any offenders,” he said.

“Even under the Road Safety Act,

emergency services are still not allowed to speed through those work zones, even if they are responding to an emergency call.

“The signs are up for a reason and we’d like people to do the right thing.”

Council may be forced to block off the area while work continues on the Crawford Terrace median strip if motorists continue to disobey the speed restrictions, according to Mr

Perry. “We could go along the lines of shutting one whole lane down to definitely make sure that we are not going to have any problems with traffic but we are trying to keep two lanes open so the traffic flows, so it is causing minimal disruption to everyone because it is a very busy road,” he said. “But if it (the speeding) continues, we’ve got no choice.

“The safety of employees is paramount.”

Possum’s miracle surgery PANDORA the possum is a little miracle after a local clinic performed breakthrough surgery to save the very sick animal.

Loveday resident and head nurse at the Riverland Veterinary Clinic Melissa Lewis recently brought the possum in to be assessed after it became bloated.

Mrs Lewis, who cares for a number of animals at her Loveday home, feared for the health of Pandora when she noticed its stomach swelling.

“She had a condition called gastric dilatation, it’s where the stomach swells,” Mrs Lewis said.

“She’d eaten too much of a grain, swelled up and she couldn’t pass it, crushing her chest and she couldn’t breath and all of her intestines were full of air.”

Initially Riv Riverland Veterinary Clinic surgeon Doctor John Hammond Ha attempted to “defl “ ate” the one-year-o one-year-old possum with a needle but was un unsuccessful.

which Mrs Lewis describes as “ground breaking”.

“Usually they would euthanise them,” she said.

“Prognosis for surgery with possums is pretty much nil.

“My motto is where there is life there is a chance and she still had life in her so we figured we’d have a go, there might be a chance.”

After the successful surgery was complete, Pandora returned home only to be brought back to the clinic.

“Unfortunately on the Monday morning she was on death’s door, so I rushed her back and she was in intensive care for three days,” Mrs Lewis said.

Today the small possum is recovering and is healthy and Mrs Lewis’ could not be more happy.

“It’s just amazing to see an animal that most clinics would have put on the burner as going to die, to see her bright well and back to normal,” she said.

Mrs Lewis first came across the possum about 12 months ago after it was brought into the clinic from Renmark by a resident who found it by itself.

Waste dumping causes concerns on river A HOUSEBOAT owner moored at Waikerie claims that waste is being dumped into the River Murray causing potential health hazards to river users.

Adelaide resident Diane Miller woke in the early hours of January 3 on her houseboat moored downstream from Lock 3 to a terrible smell.

“I was woken up by the sound of pumping and then there was a terrible stench of sewerage smell,”she said.

“We closed the window and the pumping continued.

“I got up and went outside to have a look around, I did hear some voices but couldn’t see anything.

“The river was covered in sewerage effluent.”

Mrs Miller said this was

not the first time she had seen this happen.

“Sometimes when we’ve been on the river and we’ve moored overnight, we’ve got up in the morning and there has been stuff that has collected around our pontoons and ropes,” she said.

“It’s always looked a little bit mucky but we’ve always put it down to the river being up and flowing and it’s just collected around our pontoon.

“With what we are seeing and what has been occurring in the past, it (waste dumping) may have been happening on a regular basis.”

Mrs Miller said she is concerned about the health impacts the waste dumping could have and believes the

Skills for All funding reduction THE state’s Opposition believes plans to slash funding and cap places for vocational training will be a blow to thousands of job seekers.

Shadow Training and Further Education Ministet David Pisoni said the State Government’s decision to reduce the funding follows a six month review of the Skills for All program and will see over 50 training schemes lose their funding from March 2013.

Despite the cutbacks, Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said he hopes this funding will not come from the Riverland.

“I’m not aware of any impact in Chaffey of Labor’s cuts to Skills for All programs,” he said.

“However, education and training opportunities are already limited in our region and I would be disappointed and very concerned to learn if they were further reduced.

“Local education and training opportunities are crucial to retaining young people in regional areas like Chaffey.”

Council waits on green light for Berri development

The waiting game THE Berri Barmera Council is hoping a project to turn prime riverfront land into a thriving tourism area and relocate sporting facilities to Glassey Park will be given the green light to proceed by the State Government next month.

Plans for the riverfront land next to the Berri Resort Hotel include residential living, multi-storey buildings and potentially cafe and shops on the 30 allotments.

The current bowling club will then be relocated to Glassey Park in a state-of-the-art facility with the overall project cost being estimated at more than $1.5 million.

Council plans to take on some of the costs upfront in order to restrict any further delays

SOLAR NEWS Own a Holiday Shack & need a power solution?

Many of us head off to our little bit of paradise over the holiday period. Not all shacks have grid-connect power and for some of us, holidays may involve packing a generator to deliver the power to run some modern day conveniences we find necessary at this time of year.

Apart from the obvious fuel costs, sole reliability on a generator and the associated noise and smell can at times take the shine off a tranquil and relaxing holiday, especially at night.

Thankfully, passive, green power solutions for shack owners are available and they won’t cost you the earth.

New DIY systems are now available in kit form that consist of Solar Panels, Batteries and a Control box with provision to connect a voltage regulated, inverter generator. Being low voltage on the DC BUS side of the system and also being a complete plug together solution, these are a true DIY kit and do not require an electrician to install.

These small systems may have up to 2000 watts of solar power and 120 Ah of battery storage, perfect for running a small holiday shack with lighting, refrigerator and numerous small electrical devices.

WASTE management company Transpacific will build a new recycling facility in Monash which is expected to create more than 15 jobs.

The company, which was hired by the Riverland councils to run the new three bin pick up system, has confirmed it will construct a resource recovery facility in the region, to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

In a significant step forward, Transpacific will partner with the Renmark Paringa Council, District Council of Loxton Waikerie and Berri Barmera Council to deliver a large scale recycling program to the region for the first time.

The strategy has seen the councils move to a three-bin system, with recyclables and green waste collected separately.

The recyclables will then be processed at a sorting location and green waste reused rather than ending up in landfill.

As part of the new three-bin system, Cleanaway recently commenced the collection of kerbside general waste, recyclable and green waste bins for the Renmark Paringa and Berri Barmera Council regions, and this will follow shortly in the Loxton Waikerie region as well.

Transpacific general manager of post collections Geoffrey Webster said Transpacific was excited to be working with the three local councils to deliver such an important change for the region.

“Credit is due to councils for working together and taking a regional approach to deliver an efficient and cost effective modern waste strategy,” he said.

As part of this historic agreement, Transpacific will manage the construction and operation of a brand new Riverland resource recovery facility.

Due to open in the second half of this year, the facility will cater for general waste, recyclables, commercial and industrial waste, and construction and demolition waste from the local area.

The design will be similar to the nationally recognised and award-winning Transpacific Resource Recovery Centre at Port Augusta.

The facility will also be designed to maximise recycling from various waste streams, with residents’ cars and trailers able to safely unload into designated bays.

“Once complete, the facility is expected to create over 15 jobs for the region,” Mr Webster said.

“Transpacific looks forward to being not only a local employer of choice, but a respected member of the community.”

AUSTRALIA DAY

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bypass response WE thank Kevin Datson (Riverland Weekly, January 10 2013) for raising the matter of a Sturt Highway bypass of Renmark.

Along with replacing the Paringa Bridge, the bypass was identified by the South Australian Freight Council (SAFC) as a high priority infrastructure project, costing approximately $300 million, which should be pursued by the Federal and State governments.

In December the SAFC recommended $1.2 billion of upgrades to the Sturt Highway to be completed by 2025, identifying productivity gains particularly for the grain, wine and citrus industries.

This is certainly a debate the community needs to have and we welcome an opportunity to be part of it.

What will be the impact on businesses and residents in Renmark?

Is a bypass of Renmark a greater priority than a bypass of Truro?

Where exactly would the bypass be built and who would be affected by it?

These are just some of the questions that need to be addressed.

We are interested in the views of the community and we urge people to express their opinion.

Anne Ruston, Senator for South Australia.

Tim Whetstone, Member for Chaffey.

Open letter to the Premier DEAR Premier Weatherill, Look on the bright side you say....see our cup as half full rather than half empty.

What’s half full about record high prices for water and power that put frugal people at risk in times of extreme weather conditions for fear of debt collectors?

What’s half full about governments awarding contracts to interstate bus companies and rubbish collectors that deliberately destabilises local businesses?

This puts a lie to your promises of regional support and making a mockery of the ‘Buy locally and save a job’ campaign.

What’s half full about the massive job losses in manufacturing?

The Riverland has lost most of its manufacturers, who were once large employers and huge producers of fresh and dried and canned food, especially when experts say there is a world food shortage.

What’s half full about cutting welfare to single parents whose job opportunities traditionally relied on the seasonal manufacturers that have disappeared?

Australia’s clean, green, safe quality food controls and high wages, Work Cover and Superannuation is all well and good but they price Australian food producers and manufacturers out of business to uncontrolled

Riverland Australia Day events Berri Barmera ■ AUSTRALIA Day celebrations are being held on the Barmera lakefront.

Berri Barmera Council is once again holding the free breakfast as the major event for local celebrations and presentation of the local 2013 Citizen of the Year Awards.

Beginning with a celebration walk along the lakefront from 6.30am, breakfast will be held on the lakefront area adjacent to Whitmore Avenue from 7am.

The community breakfast will consist of bacon and egg sandwiches and pancakes, cooked by volunteers from council and the Barmera Lions Club.

Following the breakfast there will be a flag raising ceremony and awards presentation. This year’s guest Australia Day Ambassador is Anglicare CEO Dr Lynn Arnold, who is also the former Premier of South Australia.

Free transport is available for residents, with priority given to Berri Barmera Community Transport clients.

Please book by phoning 1800 334 882 prior to 3pm, Thursday, January 24.

cheaper, often inferior, foreign produce that is imported duty free.

Australian governments foolishly allow foreign investors to buy up Australian farms, ship their raw produce back to their own countries for processing where they make and keep the profit.

Where are the tax opportunities in that for Australia?

What’s half full about Australians risking capital investment and production outlays to be producers, always at the mercy of seasonally variable weather conditions, paying harvesting and freighting costs to take what’s left, if anything, after the selling agent’s commission?

To not even recover their costs.

It’s a whole year’s work for nothing!

Why are Australian producers the only ones expected to work for nothing or less than nothing?

The system is out of balance.

Present Australian governments are throwing people on the free market scrap heap.

What’s half full about that?

It just doesn’t make sense.

Rural communities are floundering.

Shop keepers and manufacturers desperately need people with spending money.

Governments need to light a candle of hope not just with a few scholarships to agriculture college but support for Australian producers’ of quality produce against cheaper, less healthy imports.

Workers need work; producers need to be profitable, to pay the taxes governments operate on.

So please Mr Premier, we need sensible solutions – not more spin.

Jeanette Staehr, Barmera.

Controlled burn offs not done?

IN THE past several days we have seen devastating fires throughout the Eastern sates and Tasmania.

Homes and businesses have been lost.

Fortunately, no lives have been lost.

Admittedly, there have been unusual hot and windy weather conditions that have aided the fires in their sweep across the land.

However, allegations are starting to emerge that proper controlled burn offs had not been done last spring.

Why is this so?

Anyone who lives in country areas would know that it is not easy to do controlled burn offs.

There are a number of conditions that need to be met before permits are issued.

Consequently, it is all getting “too hard” for land owners to do their once-ayear burn offs to reduce the fire hazard when the warmer weather arrives.

Perhaps the Greens have something to do with the increased regulations, as they don’t want burn offs to be done.

No government is game enough to outlaw burn offs entirely, they just make it too difficult, through regulation, for burn offs to be done.

Unless controls are relaxed concerning controlled burn offs, we will see more devastating fires.

Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular

Family day out at Cobby We are a little group trying to do our bit for the community.

â– READY: Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular organising committee members Mark Shugg (left) and Shane Corner at the newly tidied Bruno Bay area.

T

O the small community of Cobdogla, celebrating Australia Day is something the small town looks forward to each year.

The eagerly anticipated Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular is taking place this

Saturday with up to 2000 people expected to attend and show off their Australian colours and strong community spirit.

Growing each year, organisers of the Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular have already had much interest

0419 800 064

for the event from people outside of the area.

Organising committee vice president Shane Corner and Mark Shugg said the celebrations will begin at the Cobdogla Oval on Saturday from 6pm. “We know we’ve got people from Adelaide coming up especially for the event,� Mr Corner said. “We’ve already got a table of 30 booked in from town.�

The Australia Day celebrations at Cobdogla began at Bruno Bay, where a small group of people gathered around in chairs socialising, enjoying each other’s company.

With the popular water spot inaccessible during the 2010

CARTER QUALITY MEATS

high river, Cobdogla Oval became the temporary home of the event.

However, an overwhelming showing of people at the 2011 and 2012 events demonstrated just how big the Australia Day celebrations at Cobdogla are and organisers decided to continue holding the event at the oval. “We got flooded out but the Gods did something good for us by moving it down there,�

Mr Corner said. “We’ve gone from a few people sitting around a bonfire to live bands and large crowds.�

One of the reasons for the Spectacular’s recent success has been the popular entertainment and family atmosphere, according to Mr Corner.

This year’s drawcard is AC/DC tribute band High

Voltage, as well as popular musos Hard Rock.

There is plenty to do for the whole family with a number of sideshows for the children and young at heart.

The introduction of market stalls this year will add to the great atmosphere and performances from a local gymnastics club and Rosie Clark School of Dance are further entertainment options.

There will be no shortage of food choices from gourmet hamburgers by the Bruno Bay Development Committee to pizzas, hot spuds, chips and much more.

Proceeds from the Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular will go to the Bruno Bay Development Committee to continue improving facilities at the popular tourist site, as well as the Riverland MakeA-Wish Foundation.

The continual feedback from those in attendance is seeing the Fireworks Spectacular grow larger. “There are people that come here and say ‘wow, a little town did this?’�

Mr Corner said. “It’s just getting bigger and bigger and better and better.�

One of the main highlights of the night is the fireworks, which promises to be even more impressive this year.

The event is fully catered with people encouraged to bring their own chairs but no BYO alcohol is allowed.

Entry costs just $5 with

under 12s free.

This year those in attendance can also book tables and chairs at an affordable price with $4 a seat or $40 for a table of 10 people.

Volunteers will be manning the entrance gates with a donation from the event to go to the group.

Mr Corner said donating funds to the Make-AWish Foundation Riverland branch is an important part of the annual Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular. “I can’t speak highly enough of Make-A-Wish and (president) Dallas Zeliff,�

WAIKERIE’S AUSTRALIA DAY

FEATURE

Aussie pride in Waikerie travaganza will host talented cover band Jungle Jooce this year. “They are probably Adelaide’s biggest party show bands with hits from the 1970s to today,�

Mr Gwynne said.

Those in attendance are guaranteed to be entertained with amusements, games, rides and sideshows.

We want everyone waving flags and celebrating in a big way.

There will also be demonstrations from local dance groups, as well as council’s Australia Day citizen awards.

Another element to this year’s event is the addition of a big screen so cricket fans can watch the Twenty20 match between Australia and Sri Lanka from 7pm to 10pm.

The food options are also endless from barbecue, hot roast lamb and beef, Asian, Italian, Indian, yiros and baked spuds.

Do not forget the sweets with traditional Australia Day pavlova, fruit salad and ice cream to name a few. “We’ve got it all covered,� Mr Gwynne said.

A popular attraction is the wine marquee, showcasing local

wines and offering nibbles with the purchase of a bottle of wine.

Mr Gwynne is also encouraging everyone attending to dress up for the occasion. “We are encouraging people to dress up in red, white and blue, the Aussie colours,� he said. “We want everyone waving flags and celebrating in a big way. “I think we should be proud to live in such a fantastic country.�

The Extravaganza is well known for its monster fireworks display and Mr Gwynne promised nothing less this year. “The kids love fireworks,� he said. “Last year was fantastic but this year will be even bigger and better.�

Mr Gwynne believes the Extravaganza will be the perfect way to celebrate Australia Day and especially for Waikerie residents, it is also a chance to relax.

The 2012 Waikerie Community Event of the Year is again expected to live up to its reputation.

Mr Gwynne said it is important to acknowledge volunteers who run stalls and the work that is done by the committee. “Sponsorship has also been the best it ever has,� he said.

Entry is $2 for adults and $1 for those under 15 years of age, while no BYO is allowed.

People can also book a table with 10 chairs for $20 by dropping in to see Mr Gwynne at Waikerie Tyre & Mag Centre on Smith Drive.

â– TRUE SPIRIT: Those in attendance at the Waikerie Australia Day Extravaganza are being encouraged to don the Aussie colours, while (inset) the impressive fireworks display is a highlight of the night.

HE award winning Waikerie Australia Day Extravaganza is growing with this year’s event having more entertainment and attractions.

In fact, organisers believe it is the biggest Australia Day event ever organised in the small town.

Fittingly this year’s Waikerie Australia Day Extravaganza will be held on Australia Day, January 26 from 6pm, with more than 3500 people expected to flock to Waikerie Oval. “This is perfect timing for us,�

Waikerie Australia Day Committee chairperson David Gwynne said. “I can’t wait.�

One of Waikerie’s biggest events has gained a reputation with locals and visitors alike, meaning more people are heading to the town each year for the Australia Day celebrations.

Mr Gwynne is encouraging everyone to embrace the Australian culture and enjoy a great family night out. “We get people from all around the Riverland, the Barossa Valley, Clare and Adelaide,� he said. “There’s lots of kid’s rides and games. “The kids can run around on the football oval, while mum and dad can sit back, have a bite to eat, have a drink and talk to all of their friends.�

Of those who bring their families to Waikerie each year is local football legend Mark Ricciuto. “He comes down every year and loves the show,�

Mr Gwynne said.

Swimmers strike gold at champs

By JENNI TREWREN RIVERLAND Swimmers achieved excellent results at the South Australian Country Championships held in Gawler on the weekend.

Three swimmers, representing Berri competed at the Superfish event; Sarah Kassebaum, Ella Kassebaum and Shiara Langler.

They all achieved personal best times at the event, giving Sarah Kassebaum third place in her 50 metre breaststroke event and Ella Kassebaum third place in her 50m backstroke event.

Riverland Swimmers, representing Berri and Renmark competing at the championship event collected an amaz-

ing 31 individual medals and one relay medal at the championships.

WHEN New Jersey rock band The Early November went into hiatus in 2007, band members felt drained and exhausted. “The record that we made at that time was a giant undertaking that I don’t think we were prepared to make and it was three months in the studio and not really knowing what was going on and some To solve a Sudoku puzzle, every disagreements,�

and I think that’s what we achieved,� he said.

The band’s touring schedule will lead it to Australia for the Soundwave Festival and to Adelaide on March 2.

During The Early November’s hiatus, Joseph played with a band called Hellogoodbye and was lucky enough to perform at a Soundwave and Soundwave Revolution.

While none of the other members of The Early November have been to Australia, Joseph is looking forward to revisiting what he describes as an amazing country. “It’s my favourite place to go in the entire world just to tour and to be, so I’m excited just to be back in Australia,� he said.

From the food, to the nice fans, fun night life and adventures on the stunning beaches, Joseph said he enjoys just about everything Australia has to offer.

It is a long way from New Jersey, where the band formed and found its early gigs. “New Jersey was a great place to grow up with the

kind of music that we are,�

Joseph said. “You would see these bands in a basement or a small convention hall somewhere and it would be like Thursday and Saves The Day and all these bands who are so important to what we wanted to be and you would see them all the time.�

During the latest Soundwave tour across Australia, Joseph plans to call his wife twice a day, eat at newly discovered restaurants, miss his cat and ensure he chooses his tour driver carefully. “We were on the 2002 Warped Tour and the guy that we brought to drive fell asleep at the wheel and our drummer woke up at the best possible moment to make sure we didn’t drive off a cliff and we kind of rolled over,�

Joseph recalled.

The Early November will be playing at the sold out Soundwave festival in Adelaide on March 2 and will also play Sidewaves with Motion City Soundtrack in Melbourne on February 25 and in Sydney on February 28.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS

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

WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Boxing club named top for 2012

Lack of coverage?

■ RIVERLAND softball stalwart Marianne Smith makes no secret of her view that her sport does not receive the respect and acknowledgement it deserves.

The 2005/06 Steve McFarlane Contribution to Sport award winner makes a point.

Based on the performances of our Australian teams in the international arena we can justifiably lay claim to being the number one softball country in the world.

Of course softball is not the only sport that could claim it gets a raw deal in the media compared to the likes of football, soccer, cricket and tennis.

The situation certainly has nothing to do with participation in softball.

An estimated 20 million people play the game worldwide, 150,000 of them in Australia.

Known as indoor baseball the first version of the sport was played in Illinois in 1887.

It moved outdoors as kitten, pumpkin or diamond ball in 1895, became softball in 1926 and was introduced to Australia in schools and colleges in NSW in 1939.

Australian states formed associations between 1942 (Victoria) and 1959 (ACT) and took part in interstate women’s championships.

In the 1960s, men’s competitions appeared with the first Australian championships held in 1984.

Australia first participated in the International Soccer Federation’s Open Men’s Championship in 1988.

Looking at the women’s

■ Shaun Schaaf.

■ Ryan Goodes.

■ THE Loxton based Riverland Boxing and Fitness Club was named the Best Country Gym/Club for 2012 at Boxing South Australia’s annual awards night at the West Adelaide Football Club on Saturday.

Manager-coach of the gym Phillip Goodes said “it was the fourth year running that we have won the award which is an excellent effort by the club and its competitors”.

A nominee for the 2011-12 Riverland Junior Sports Star of the Year award, the club’s Ryan Goodes took out the Junior Boxer of the Year trophy for the second year in a row in a tie with Jack Haines, while his recently arrived club mate Shaun Schaaf was a finalist in the Elite Boxer category that was won by Olympian Johan Linde.

Also a finalist was Michael Peace from the Renmark Boxing Club in the Schoolboy Boxer of the Year section which went to Connor Tyson from the Fighting Fit Gym in Mildura.

Ryan Goodes, Shaun Schaaf and Michael Peace also spent three days in an intense training session over the weekend at the West Adelaide Football Club as they prepare to represent the state at the national titles in Adelaide from February 10 to 16.

Sparring took up much of the time involved as officials set out to create the atmosphere the boxers will face at the championships with head coach Michael Hastings particularly impressed by the efforts of Peace.

Goodes and Schaaf are entering week seven of an intense 10 week training program and also look to be in good form for next month’s major tournament.

■ ENOUGH?: Many people believe softball has not been given enough acknowledgement in the media.

scene, our national women’s team won the inaugural world series competition in Melbourne in 1965.

Also since the sport was included as an Olympic event in 1996, the Aussie team won bronze that year in Atlanta, in 2000 in Sydney, silver in Athens in 2004, and bronze in 2008 in Beijing.

The under 19 team has won medals in three junior world titles.

A highlight for the senior men’s team was victory in the 2009 world championship which followed the under 19 men’s team winning in succession at the 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2008 titles.

Winners progress in state men’s bowls singles ■ WITH eleven section winners from last weekend’s preliminary state men’s bowls singles tournament at Barmera and Waikerie, six players were drawn for early starts when local knockouts are held at Barmera this Sunday.

At 8.30am in game one, Renmark pair John Thompson and Eddie Schulz meet with Lyndoch’s Chris Rule to play Berri’s Dennis Treloar and Phil Ashton (Barmera) up against Andrew Hill, of Berri.

Waiting for an opponent in round two is Berri’s Graeme King, Gary Pursche (Waikerie) plays Dave Mills (Barmera)

and Renmark RSL’s John van der Wyst meets Sean Leesue (Renmark).

Thompson, Schulz, Pursche, van der Wyst, Leesue, Rule, Treloar, Ashton and Hill all won their three matches in the four player sections.

In section three, Berri’s King won two matches to edge out opponents including Wayne Collins (Waikerie) and Chris Kearns (Freeling) on the weekend, while in a keenly contested section five, Mills, also with two wins, qualified ahead of Neil Lemmey (Renmark) and Mal Inglis (Renmark RSL).

team at number six, the Aussie Steelers Open Men and Aussie Colts under 19 Men both at number one and Aussie Pride under 19 Women at three.

Hence softball Australia, and Marianne Smith, claim we are ‘the world’s best softball nation’ which arguably does add justification that the performances should warrant greater acknowledgement from our media.

But that is the penalty a number of sports suffer, perhaps due to being ‘quiet achievers’.

Perhaps softball needs some hanky panky to spice things up a bit!

Admittedly some of it is not welcome but why is it for example that cycling is enjoying enormous exposure at the moment?

Not necessarily because the world class Tour Down Under is being held in Adelaide but more because Lance Armstrong is supposedly about to tell the world something that is now old news.

Locally softball has, like many sports, faced challenges in recent years.

But its administrators must be doing something right.

It maintains senior and junior competitions and recent practice sessions have seen good numbers trying out for senior teams and girls and boys squads that will play in annual Country Carnivals in Adelaide shortly.

That is something some of the more high profile sports have not been able to do in modern times which is continue to have the best players available to represent the area in traditional inter association matches and country carnivals.

Some, in fact, have fallen out of programs completely.

The number of boys participating in Riverland competitions today has been well publicised with a proposal to form a men’s competition under consideration.

It is also noteworthy that our region continues to provide a steady flow of representatives to both boys and girls state teams.

Our softball officials and competitors are to be commended from top to grassroots level but I am sorry I cannot see more publicity heading in the sport’s direction any time soon.

Riverland rower given rare opportunity at Youth Olympic Festival

Hill lights the flame ■ THE Riverland’s Alexander Hill (pictured), who is now based in Canberra on an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship, was chosen to light the cauldron to open the sixth Australian Youth Olympic Festival which began in Sydney yesterday.

The Opening ceremony was held at Darling Harbour.

The outstanding young rower, who already has an Australian under 19 coxed fours world cup gold medal from London 2011 and bronze from an under 23 eights championship in Lithuania in 2012, will compete in single sculls, fours and eights

and will be joined in the 496 strong Australian team at the festival by another former Riverland junior in new

Australian Hockeyroo Karri McMahon.

Karri, who is living in Perth on an AIS scholarship, won gold at the Champions Challenge in Ireland last year in her debut appearance with the senior Australian team.

Now dubbed ‘Gazza or Kbolt’, in this event she is playing as co-captain of the Jillaroos in a tournament in which the players were required to be 20 years or younger at the end of 2012.

Opponents will be Great Britain, China and the USA. This Sydney event uses many of the city’s Olympic venues and is five days of elite

junior competition involving 1700 athletes from 30 nations competing in 21 sports.

It carries a slogan ‘See tomorrow’s Olympians Today’, which certainly has some basis as at the London Olympics one quarter of the Australian athletes, including gold medalists Sally Pearson and Anna Meares, had taken part in a junior festival along the way.

So that puts Alexander, who will be back in Sydney in March for the national championships and first ever world cup in the city, and Karri in a good place right now.

We wish them well.

Thur, Glazbrook to begin dinghy title defence ■ RENMARK’S Matt Thur and his swinger Reece Glazbrook will begin the defence of their Riverland Dinghy Championship when the opening two rounds of the 2013 competition are held on February 1 and 3.

The Renmark Club ‘Dash for Cash’ will be held from 6.30pm on the Friday at the Renmark riverfront, while on Sunday the Magic 931 Dinghy Derby starts and finishes its 100 kilometre journey through local creeks from the same venue at 10am.

Matt Thur is well aware that instead of being the hunter in this highly competitive multi round competition he is now the hunted.

He knows what is necessary to win the title after setting his sights in previous years on relieving the likes of Linton Price and Jason Gordon of the crown.

Price and Gordon have both been full of praise for Thur’s efforts in working both in the shed and out on the water to grab the title in 2012.

Linton, with his attention on power boating, will possibly only enter the Dash for Cash round again this year but it is a sure bet that Jason, after some injury problems in 2012, will be determined to regain the championship.

But it will not end there.

Amongst the big game hunters in the competition for the sports class title will be Jay Branson, who returns as one of 12 boats coming from West Australia, and local Brent Martin.

However, there are also a number of other regulars in a dark horse category and if they can get their dinghies in a condition that reconciles with their outstanding driving ability, they are also capable of springing a surprise.

Chris Lang, Gary O’Ciepa, Adam Price and Ryleigh Pfitzner are amongst them.

Again, there will be seven classes plus a family friendly event on the program.

Looking more closely at the opening weekend of this fourth year of the championships, another attempt on the ‘Most Dinghies in a Row’ record will be sandwiched between the two race days on Saturday, February 2.

The Dash for Cash, with some adjustments to the course this year, was won by Price ahead of Gordon and Gregurke in 2012.

Sunday’s Dinghy Derby, which originated from a bet between two mates in 1981, is in its 33rd year and last year was taken out by Gordon, from Thur, Branson, Martin and Gregurke, who it is understood will not compete this year.

Berri resumes softball season with a 12-0 drubbing of Loxton ■ THERE were a number of surprise results when softball and baseball resumed their 2012-13 program after a break for Christmas.

In A grade softball, Berri with match winning performances by Kenny Karpany, Chris Eleftheriadis and Austin Karpany defeated last season’s premier Loxton by a

massive 12-0 margin.

Loxton had grabbed top position on the ladder with impressive victories when the senior competition was divided into separate A and B grades just prior to Christmas and loomed as favourite for another pennant.

This Berri triumph now puts a new complexion on the fight for

Cricketers ready to represent Murray Districts ■ MURRAY Districts/Barrier will field at least three newcomers in its line-up at the annual SACA Country Cricket Carnival in Adelaide next month.

Pinnaroo and Border’s opening bowlers Dwayne Simon and 16-yearold Tom Hawthorn and Broken Hill’s opening batsman/leg spinner Matthew Hanberg will make their debut while with some squad members still to be confirmed it is possible others may appear for the zone for the first time.

Others in the squad at this stage are team captain Jake Albrecht and opening batsman Brad Walter from Loxton, from Pinnaroo and Border top order batsman Hayden Thorpe, who has been a key player at the carnival in recent seasons, and also from that association its 2011-12 Cricketer of the Year Brad Rosenzweig.

Also from Broken Hill will be Jarrod Paull and Cody Howard, a player that is important with both bat and ball after starring as a wicketkeeper earlier in his career.

Amongst those initially being considered for the side but now unavailable because of employment are outstanding Broken Hill wicketkeeper Tobias Hack, and Waikerie-Ramco allrounder Tim Bevan but selectors are confident that the 2012-13 line-up is again going to give a good account of itself.

the premiership this season.

Meanwhile, baseball moved into the second half of the season with a top of the table clash between the Renmark and Berri number one sides.

Although Renmark Blue started strongly and at 3-0 looked capable of repeating its earlier success against the defending champion

Berri, that was not to be.

The Berri side steadied and went on in something like its premiership form of recent years to win, 7-3.

At Loxton a strong pitching performance by Josh Voigt took the home side to victory by a surprisingly wide margin against Lyrup, 7-0.

Local yachts compete at national titles ■ IT WAS all about gaining valuable experience when three yachts from the Lake Bonney Club competed in the national mosquito titles at Paynesville, Gippsland Lakes, Victoria over the Christmas/ New Year break.

Sailing was difficult, varying from light winds to very heavy conditions and the Riverland entries, Steve Thomas with ‘Just Do It’ and Peter Dunk and his crew Kirsten Thomas in ‘Splashes of Brilliance’ in the first Spinnaker

titles and Mark Pfennig, with ‘The Matrix’, in the 41st National titles for Mark 1 and 2 craft, all finished midfield.

The Spinnaker event involved eight races over two days and the Mark 1 and 2 titles comprised a 10 race series.

Each of the LBYC yachts experience some breakages and consequently received not start penalties.

However, all had returned home by last Saturday when Lake Bonney resumed its 2012-

13 programmed race series with championship heat four.

In cooler conditions and in moderate to light winds which were not conducive to spinnaker use sailing, the Division One Mosquito catamarans was close with ‘The Matrix’ reaching the finish line only a half minute ahead of ‘Just Do It’ and ‘Splashes of Brilliance’ in third.

No Division Two yachts took part.

This Saturday’s race will be handicap A.

Waikerie Gold claim Twenty20 premiership with defeat of Morgan ■ THE Mid Murray Cricket Association held its second Twenty20 day for the season on Saturday with Waikerie Gold completing a winning double to clinch the premiership for the competition.

Last Saturday’s program was reduced to two matches per team with first playing fourth and second meeting third from the full round robin between the four sides played on the previous occasion.

In last Saturday’s event Waikerie Gold won the final against Morgan after it had

defeated Blanchetown Swan Reach and Morgan had accounted for Perponda earlier in the day.

In those early games, Gold 8 for 151 (Daryl Hilton 50) defeated BSR 97 (Lance Twigden 3 for 18, Cameron Hawke 3 for 14) and Morgan 8 for 134 won against Perponda 8 for 67 (Chris Rudiger 32 Brad Meyers 3 for 15).

Then in a play off for third and fourth Perponda 8 for 87 (Rudiger 34) went down to BSR 4 for 89 (Troy Cowland 35).

The final saw Waikerie Gold score a blazing 4 for 226 with Hilton continuing his strong hitting for 86 and young Ricky Carter making 67.

In reply, Neil Myers made 26 in Morgan’s 94 with Marcus McGrath taking 3 for 5 for Gold.

Trophy winners from the overall series were Andrew Bevan (Waikerie Gold) with 195 runs for batting, Zac Schubert (Perponda) with eight wickets for bowling and Marcus McGrath (Waikerie Gold) won the fielding.

Saville’s learning experience ■ COBDOGLA tennis sensation Luke Saville was knocked out of the Australian Open with a first round loss on Tuesday.

The wildcard entrant lost to Japanese world number 73, Go Soeda, 6-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3.

Ranked 349 in the world and making his grand slam singles debut, Saville began strongly, up 5-1 in the first set and winning 6-7 after a tie-break.

Soeda showed his experience in the second and third sets as Saville’s fitness was tested.

The 18-year-old regained his composure in the fourth set but Soeda got the better of him to win 6-4 for the set and claim the match.

Saville said he was better off for the experience despite the loss.

“I played really well for the most part of two sets but physically died a little bit at the end,” he said. “(It was an) amazing experience and I learnt so much from it.”

Top golf results at Waikerie ■ COMPETITIONS at the Waikerie Golf Club last week included Hans Vandermeyden winning a Wednesday stableford with 44 points from Jan Pearson, 41.

Then on Saturday John Schumann with 40 points took out division one of another stableford with division two going to David White on 38 points.

Craig Robinson and Vandermeyden both finished with 39 points while James Thomas and Lesley Gosse, perhaps striving to quickly break that hole-in-one deadlock that now exists between her and her husband Lochie, took longest drive honours, while White and Geoff Bald were nearest the pin.

At Barmera, Robert Formiatti won a stableford last Wednesday with 42 points, ahead of Liam Amos and Marcus Stavrou on 40.

Bob Cornwell was victorious in a stableford on Saturday with 46 points in front of Steve Brown with 40, while Pat Girdler won the Saturday stroke competition with a score of 68, three strokes clear of the next best.

Women’s soccer session ■ ONE of the success stories in local sport in recent years has involved soccer and the introduction of a women’s competition.

Now there is a great opportunity for any girls from six to 18 years of age that are either interested in trying the sport or in further developing current skills to attend a junior coaching session being conducted by some of the leading women’s coaches and players in South Australia.

The visiting Adelaide University Women’s Soccer Club will present the clinic next Saturday from 10am to 11.30am at the Steve Poutakidis Sporting Grounds in Renmark.

Participants should arrive by 9.30am.

The city club will be in the Riverland from Friday until Sunday on its annual premier and reserves division camp.

Amongst the coaches on Saturday will be former Matilda player Tracey Jenkins.

Renmark causes cricket upset ■ RENMARK caused a surprise result in the Riverland Turf Cricket Association A grade competition with a win over Loxton on the weekend.

After restricting Renmark to 123 with Simon Turk, 28, and Liam Jackson 25, Loxton crumbled to be all out for 101.

Michael Gutsche with 34 led the scoring for the Tigers, while Zakk Gallo picked up four wickets.

Waikerie-Ramco also produced an upset against Berri, knocking up 6/153 and bowling out the Demons 20 runs short.

Kym Taylor was solid for WaikerieRamco with 52 and Tim Bevan made 24.

Todd van Dyk managed 32 for Berri, while Matt McDonald picked up three wickets.

Meanwhile, Renmark North Blue will play King XI Punjab in the Renmark District competition Twenty20 final on Friday from 6.30pm at Renmark Oval.
