Barmera proposal being finalised as local council wants...

RV FRIENDLY TOWNS THE Berri Barmera Council is proposing the whole district be converted to Recreational Vehicle (RV) friendly as discussions continue with the Lions Club of Barmera over the proposed RV park at Bruce Oval. Berri Barmera Council and the Lions Club of Barmera met on Tuesday night to discuss the Bruce Oval RV park concept. With concerns previously aired about the proposed size of the park, BLD 182130

REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton said during the meeting amendments were made to previous plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was made a smaller area, more in line with what the initial discussions we had last year,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keen for the whole of the area to be deemed RV friendly as there is a number of spots that vehicles can stop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a report going up to the February council meeting about doing that for Berri, Monash and Barmera.â&#x20AC;? Council also plans to again meet with the Lions Club of Barmera at Bruce Oval in the coming weeks to perform an inspection of the site to discuss access for

a dump point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That meeting will be to finalise some of those details and make sure that the groups are in agreement and in line with what we are trying to achieve,â&#x20AC;? Mr Beaton said. Mr Beaton said turning the district RV friendly was not about taking trade away from other accommodation providers in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is an increase in that

■ From Page 1 “One of the aims of Chefs of the Murray was to try and use it as a vehicle to show food and wine to people outside of the Riverland and we think we need a new vehicle to do that by. “By aligning with Tasting Australia we could get far broader coverage of Riverland produce than by just having it within the district.” Mr Benda said the small organisation, consisting of 10 passionate volunteers, would hold discussions with local industry bodies in planning for a Tasting Australia event in March or April, 2014. “This year we are looking at being a planning year and we are going to have to work in conjunction with a number of people including the Riverland wine people,” he said. “In October they have wine and food where the concentration is very much wine but in March, April, we will have food and wine, where the concentration is very much food. “What that will do is bring two distinct events into the Riverland instead of just having one.” Renowned chef Simon Bryant and Adelaide based wine expert Paul Henry will drive Tasting Australia’s creative direction, with food icon Maggie Beer also involved.

■ CHANGES: Food Riverland chairman Dave Benda and Riverland Farmers’ Market manager Rosalyn Kambouris with a glass of Banrock Station wine as plans continue to be discussed about the 2014 Tasting Australia event. “Now the government has announced their plans for Tasting Australia, the fact that Simon Bryant is talking about regional products and regional heroes, we think that is just perfect for us,” Mr

Benda said. “We can use that as a springboard for whatever we decide to do. “In the past you had to register and there was a fee and that fee encompassed

advertising costs that Tasting Australia then did on your behalf.” With much more planning and details as to what the event will encompass in 2014 still to come, Mr Benda said there are many promising opportunities. “Our challenge will be to get people to come to the Riverland and we want to tie the Farmers’ Market in as well,” he said. “If we could convince people to come for something that was a weekend event and incorporate the market and whatever the new Tasting Australia is. “Events like this are often spread across the district and that could be a positive thing, whereas the current Chefs of the Murray has been pretty much centred on the Renmark Club because of the nature of being right on the river bank. “A few years prior we used to have the renaissance and that had events in Waikerie and Barmera and spread around, so maybe there are opportunities there.” Tasting Australia was launched in 1997 and has become one of the nation’s most influential and popular culinary festivals. “Tasting Australia is all about participating, it’s about appreciating what South Australia has to offer,” Wine expert Paul Henry added.

Glossop goes global... TEN thousand miles away from the lush green hills of the High Peak lies another Glossop – in South Australia. Bathed in sunshine and surrounded by vineyards and orange groves, Australian Glossop couldn’t be much more different from our Glossop – with its grey winter skies and snow-capped hills. So when Advertiser reporter Kate Weir heard about Glossop Down Under, which is 143 miles from the state capital of Adelaide, she decided to get in touch with their local paper to arrange to swap articles about the two towns. Kate’s article about Glossop, Derbyshire, will soon feature in the Riverland Weekly and here, the editor of the Riverland Weekly, Brad Perry, shares a little of Aussie Glossop’s character. THE town of Glossop in the Riverland, South Australia, may be small but it is rich in history. Surrounded by vineyards growing wine grapes and a short drive to the majestic Murray River, Glossop has a population of about 650 people and is part of the Riverland, which is home to more than 40,000 residents. Driving into the town of Glossop, you will pass roadside fruit stalls, a lavender farm, one of Australia’s largest wineries and many fruit trees and racks of drying fruit. Glossop certainly has the small town feel, with homes nestled among businesses in the main street and is a very multicultural place. The town has three schools, Glossop High School, Glossop Primary School and the Riverland Christian School and is also home to Australian Abo-

HISTORY LESSON Principal of Glossop High School Bevin Brooks with a picture of teachers from the school in 1945

■ WHEN school resumes in the Riverland, South Australia, at the end of this month, Glossop High School principal Bevin Brooks will become part of history. In his 13th year, Bevin will be the school’s longest serving principal and 2013 will also be his last before retirement. The school, which has a middle school and high school campus in Glossop and Berri, has hundreds of students and prides itself on its professionalism. Since Bevin has been involved with Glossop High School he has delved into the history of an establishment which opened in 1941. “I thought Glossop was named after a township in Glossop, England,” Bevin said. “It was actually named after Commodore Glossop, who was captain of the HMAS Sydney that sank in the Indian Ocean while escorting cruise ships

■ THE Riverland has had a sizzling start to the new year. With a January average temperature of almost 40 degrees celsius and severe fire warnings, an official heatwave was declared. While the Riverland, which includes the town of Glossop, has not had devastating fires such as those in Tasmania, New South Wales and Victoria, the risk has been there with such dry and hot conditions. As tourists search for shade, flocking to the river and local pools, caravan parks have been affected through cancellations in bookings in what is normally a busy time during the Australian school summer holidays. The heat was too much for some, who packed up and left the region early. Berri Riverside Caravan Park manager Kay Kubenk said the “heat has taken its toll on some people”. “The tenters and the camper trailer people have found it really difficult on those hot days and we did have some going home earlier,” she said. ■ AGLAI Drivas’ parents migrated to Australia from Greece more than 50 years ago looking for a new way of life. The pair moved to the Riverland in South Australia working on various fruit blocks, before purchasing their own property with plantings of citrus, grapes and stonefruit. Today, it is that same block where Aglai, known as Aggie, and her family grow and sell produce from their own fruit

“Normally you have people ringing last minute to get away for a few days in a tent or a caravan or a camper trailer and that’s not happening at the moment. “I think people are making that decision not to come when it’s quite so hot.” Despite the cancellations, NEW LIFE Aglai Drivas’ parents moved to Australia more than 50 years ago

many travellers upgraded to cabins to escape the heat. “A lot of them upgraded to the gaps that we have in accommodation, so they might have been in a camper trailer or tent for four days and went for the last two days into accommodation,” Mrs Kubenk said. “Competition is good because you are always on your toes and you never give up,” she said. Aglai said the stall began after owners of the shop across the road went on holiday. “We were picking oranges and we had people stop and ask whether they could purchase them,” she said. “My dad told me to pick a few buckets and sell them and the rest is history.”

A number of top athletes were raised in the Riverland, including several top Australian Rules Football players and rising Australian tennis star Luke Saville. While growers have found times tough after the state experienced a drought some years ago, a majority of Glossop and the Riverland’s farmers have been in the industry for many generations. The Riverland is a very picturesque place which attracts many tourists due to its laidback lifestyle, warm weather and, of course, the Murray River, which is commonly used by boats to ski and wakeboard. “There was still a lot that stuck it out even though it was so hot. “A lot of the times they went down by the river under the tree where it was a lot cooler or most of their time was spent in the pool.” Despite the heat, caravan parks, hotels and motels across the Riverland have all reported high occupancy rates. It is not just the tourists looking to get out and about in the hot weather with the likes of Loxton pair Henry Rogers and Zane Rluth canoeing on the river earlier this week to beat the heat. County Fire Service Duty Officer at Murray Bridge, Andrew Patten, said smoke from a bushfire across the border in Victoria had also drifted into parts of the Riverland. “Members of the Chaffey CFS Group have reported the presence of smoke in places which has made some people in the area a bit nervous but fortunately there is no cause for alarm,” Mr Patten said. From there a small structure was set up to sell the fruit and today there is enough business for both families either side of the road to survive. While Aglai admits she is close to retirement after 44 years of sitting at her roadside fruit stall day in, day out, rain, hail or shine, it is a job she loves. “I enjoy meeting the people,” she said. “Most of our customers are regulars and I look at them as part of my family.”

through the Suez Canal to fight in Europe.” The middle school campus opened in 1941 after much debate on where it should be built and a senior campus was added in Berri in 1998. “There was such a competition they decided to put it in Glossop so nobody would get their noses out of joint,” Bevin laughed. Over the years, Bevin said he has seen many changes in his role including the attitude to education. “In the 1940s, most of the kids would have left in year 10,” he said. “These days most students stop at the end of year 12, partly that’s due to government legislation but it’s also due to the fact that we’ve told them that if you finish year 12, you’re in a far better position to get a decent career path.”

BRAD PERRY THE future of cask wine has come into question of late. Accolade Wines this week announced it will shut cask wine production facilities at a New South Wales winery and then improve efficiency at Berri. The reality of the situation is that cask wine is no longer as popular as it once was. There was a time when people would go out for

Cask wine future? dinner and take a cask of wine, as it was seen as a more affordable option. In the current times, a cheap bottle of wine is simlar to the cost of cask wine. It is also more fashionable or trendy to bring a bottle of red wine, for example, to a friend’s house. Predictions are that cask wine sales will continue to decline, as they have been for the past three years. While Accolades’ Berri winery is a major packager

of cask wine, you have to wonder whether the cask wine can make a comeback in a different format. There are ideas being put forward and trialled by major wine companies to change the perception of cask wine. But from my point of view, once something goes out of fashion, it takes a long time to return to the spotlight. Is cask wine already a thing of the past?

Berri funding injection BERRI manufacturing company Valls Styrene has been successfully granted about $1.2 million from the Riverland Sustinable Futures Fund to expand its operations. Valls Styrene director Tony Vallelonga said without the funding, the business may have been forced to look at running the project outside of the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were maybe looking at doing it elsewhere but due to the funding weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep it here, employ more people and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for the community,â&#x20AC;? he told the Riverland Weekly. The $2.64 million project will see the business expand its operations to include the manufacturing of environmentally friendly building insulation products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been interested in manufacturing these building products for some time now, and with this funding we can do it a lot sooner than we hoped,â&#x20AC;? Mr Vallelonga said. Established in 1983, to supply polystyrene packaging to Riverland fruit growers, Valls Styrene has expanded its Berri

The funding will facilitate the building of a fifth site to house the businessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; operations to manufacture lightweight, environmentally friendly insulated roofing and wall building products. Mr Vallelonga said over a five year period, the project is expected to add a further 12 jobs to the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funding has brought the project forward for us by maybe three years, so it has been great.â&#x20AC;? State regional development minister Gail Gago said the remaining $5 million of the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund will be held over in an attempt to leverage additional federal funding to deliver even greater benefits to the region.

Local cask wine efficiency improves with closure EFFICIENCY of cask packaging at Accolade Winesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Berri winery is expected to improve following the ceasing of cask operations at Buronga in New South Wales. Accolade Wines will be consolidating cask packaging from its Buronga operation to its Berri site this month, a move which reflects the ongoing decline in cask wine sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the Riverland itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a substantial change because we are just basically switching packinging production from Buronga to Berri,â&#x20AC;? Accolade Wines external affairs manager Anita

Poddar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of jobs at Berri, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not actually going to mean we are putting 10 people on at Berri because we were already operating below capacity there, so this means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just improve efficiency at Berri. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t running the production lines at capacity and this will increase the capacity a little.â&#x20AC;? According to industry figures, cask wine sales have been decreasing at a rate of six per cent per year for the past three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of cask sales, we are

obviously concerned about the decline too and we are looking at different things, we are going from large format cask packaging to smaller format, so four litre casks down to three litre casks,â&#x20AC;? Ms Poddar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also working on new products such as the Banrock Infusions product which we released last yearâ&#x20AC;Śand they are packaged in Berri.â&#x20AC;? Accolade Wines global manufacturing director Richard Lloyd said he expects the decline in cask wine sales to continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have recently reviewed

the long-term prospects for cask and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that the situation is going to change, with current projections pointing to further annual declines of around seven per cent per year,â&#x20AC;? Mr Lloyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Berri is our major cask packaging operation and this move will increase our efficiency at Berri.â&#x20AC;? Mr Lloyd said winemaking operations at Buronga will not be affected by the closure of the small packaging facility but 10 positions will be made redundant.

Riverland roads to receive vital upgrades SAFETY along the Loxton to Murray Bridge Road and Cadell to Waikerie Road will soon be improved with roadworks beginning this week, South Australian Senator Anne McEwen announced yesterday. A total of 13 kilometres across four locations along the Murray Bridge to Loxton Road â&#x20AC;&#x201C; near Mindarie, Sandalwood, Karoonda, and Kulde â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will undergo shoulder sealing and safety barrier works.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know from experience that safety barriers protect motorists from roadside hazards and can significantly reduce the risk of vehicle accidents and property damage,â&#x20AC;? Senator McEwen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The improvements will include sealed shoulders a minimum of one metre wide, which will improve safety for motorists by reducing the risk of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;run-off roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; type crashes.â&#x20AC;? Further shoulder sealing and safety barrier works will com-

mence on February 25 along the Cadell to Waikerie Road. A total of five kilometres of road between Ramco and Waikerie will be upgraded, with two lots of 730 metres of safety barriers installed in high-risk areas. Senator McEwen said both works are a part of the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.7 billion Nation Building Black Spot Program, in conjunction with the South Australian Government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Federal Government has invested $1.08 million for

the works along the Loxton to Murray Bridge Road and has contributed to $180,000 to the Cadell Waikerie Road works,â&#x20AC;? Senator McEwen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The South Australian Government has funded the remainder of the Cadell Waikerie Road works, which totals $590,000.â&#x20AC;? Construction work will occur between 7.30am and 5.30pm every day of the week. Both works are expected to be completed by the end of April, 2013.

“Police initially tried to get the person to come back voluntarily,” Supt Buckley said. “When it appeared he was in difficulties, two police officers removed their equipment and jumped in the river and swam out to try to assist him. “The man was in the middle of the river and unfortunately before they got to the middle of the river he disappeared from sight. “The penalty for something like that (theft of a handbag) would not be severe, it’s extremely unfortunate that the male’s made this decision because it’s resulted in him losing his life.”

■ From Page 1 “It’s about supporting the caravan parks to make sure we are not taking away from their market but also making sure that we can support some of these RV vehicles when they come through. “It’s about making it not set up as a de facto caravan park, it’s about giving some dump point access to some of the RV vehicles and giving them an opportunity to turn off the highway into some of our towns. “It’s certainly not about trying to set up something on a large scale that would detract from the caravan parks.” Lions Club of Barmera

in the district and they’ll be encouraged to come to the RV park but when they see the word friendly they will obviously be looking at caravan parks as well,” he said. “We believe that first of all we’ve got to get those people that are going past to stop and they won’t stop in caravan parks, they have their own self contained vehicles and they are more than happy just to pull up on the side of the road. “If we can give them a spot to stop it is going to be a three day maximum (at Bruce Oval) and research shows that after about three days they look for a caravan park anyway.”

president Peter Marks said “one of the compromise points of the debate” was to bring the Bruce Oval proposal back to its original plan, which was smaller in scale. He said the meeting with the Berri Barmera Council was successful. “We came away feeling pretty good about it and we were well received by council, they gave us a very fair and good hearing,” Mr Marks said. Establishing an RV park in Barmera is important to attract tourists, according to Mr Marks. “It will attract the visitors that go straight through because there is not an RV park

MEMBER for Chaffey Tim Whetstone is calling on the State Government to put harsher regulations in place for fruit fly offenders and fine them on the spot. Mr Whetstone said that no fines were issued at the Blanchetown random road block over the Australia Day long weekend despite 231 vehicles being found with illegal fruit on board. He said the deterrent value of random road blocks was minimal unless the State Government penalises offenders. “Road blocks are important because they intercept fruit that is being carried into the Riverland illegally,” Mr Whetstone said.

“However they’re not much of a deterrent if offenders aren’t fined. “Labor needs to get serious about fruit fly.

They’re (random roadblocks) not much of a deterrent if offenders aren’t fined.

“Large numbers of fruit fly outbreaks in New South Wales and Victoria mean the Riverland and South Australia face an increased risk.” Mr Whetstone said fruit

fly threatens industries worth almost $3 billion to the state’s economy. “With fruit industries in the Riverland still recovering from the drought and being challenged by fluctuating commodity prices and a high Australian dollar, a fruit fly outbreak in this region is the very last thing we need,” he said. “While I’m happy to acknowledge that Biosecurity SA recognises the increased risk and is working on an updated contingency plan in the event of an outbreak in the Riverland, (Agriculture) Minister (Gail) Gago is yet to make a commitment to eradicating large scale outbreaks like those recently experienced interstate, should they occur.”

Biosecurity SA said the majority of South Australians entering the Riverland’s fruit fly free exclusion zone are doing the right thing by not carrying fruit. “Of those reported (at Blanchetown) for noncompliance with the Plant Health Act, 13 have been referred to Biosecurity SA’s Compliance Unit for further determination,” manager of compliance Mark Langman said. “The attitude and understanding of the general public at being held up on their journey was very much appreciated by the staff working the roadblock and it certainly helped with moving the vehicles through quickly.”

Loxton North based winery gains funding to reduce power bills and carbon emissions LOXTON North based winery Salena Estate Wines will reduce both its power bills and carbon emissions with the help of a $222,490 grant through the Federal Government’s $1 billion Clean Technology Investment Programs. South Australian Senator Anne McEwen

said the grant would help save the company around $30,000 in energy costs per year. “The Gillard Labor Government is working in partnership with Salena Estate Wines to reduce emissions and save costs,” Senator McEwen said. “By using the funding

to go toward insulation of their wine tanks and the installation of an automated control system to increase refrigeration efficiencies, Salena Estate Wines’ power bill and carbon pollution levels will be significantly reduced, through a drop in site-wide carbon emissions by 39

per cent.” The $800 million Clean Technology Investment Program and the $200 million Clean Technology Food and Foundries Investment Program are in place to support manufacturers makin the transition to a low pollution economy.

Changes set to boost attendance A DECISION to move the Riverland Field Days to a weekend fixture in 2014 is necessary to boost attendance numbers, according to the organising committee. Riverland Field Days committee chairman Anthony Fulwood said moving the two day event to Friday and Saturday for the first time in almost 50 years is a response to patronage being “fairly steady” in recent years. While this year’s Field Days will remain as the Wednesday and Thursday fixture on September 18 and 19, Mr Fulwood said lengthy discussions have led to the 2014 changes. “We’d looked at the people coming through the gate and over the last four or five years our numbers have been fairly steady, they haven’t been increasing too much,” he said. “We thought about how can we encourage more people to come, make it easier for them to get to the event and this is a way of doing that. “The feedback over the past couple of years has been that there’s not enough people com-

ing past and this is one way of getting more people past our site.” Mr Fulwood said key business partners were contacted before the 2014 change was announced and were mostly supportive of the concept. “We’ve spoken to our major business partners prior to making this announcement just to give them a bit of an idea,” Mr Fulwood said.

Mr Fulwood said the idea is that tourists can travel to the region for the Field Days and then spend the weekend in

ley and Murray Bridge areas in the past. “We need to promote the Riverland and get the Riverland seen in a lot more positive light.” The 2014 change is also all about ensuring that busy businesses can attend one of the region’s biggest events, according to Mr Fulwood. “Thirty years ago the Field Days were attended by growers in general who worked on their own

properties and had their own businesses, so they could take a day off whenever they wanted,” Mr Fulwood said. “Nowadays there are more and more people who are employees working on the farm or something like that and they either have to take a day off or don’t come to the event at all.”

Whetstone throws support behind new leader MEMBER for Chaffey Tim Whetstone believes the elevation of Steven Marshall to the state Liberal leadership will have a positive impact for small businesses in the Riverland. Following a leadership ballot on Monday, Mr Marshall was elected unopposed to lead the party following the resignation of Isobel Redmond last week. “For him to be elected in the party room unopposed is something that hasn’t happened for over 40 years,” Mr Whetstone said. “I think it does show a vote of confidence in him as the new leader and as far as his new deputy Vickie Chapman, she has great political skills and I think the combination of the new and the more experienced will be formidable.” Mr Marshall’s strong background in small business will benefit the region, according to Mr Whetstone. “We’ve got over 4000 small businesses in the region,” he said. “For him to come out with policies that will ben-

Riverland community gets behind local al iidentity de after health scare

On the road to recovery after stroke THE support of family, friends and the Riverland community has helped well known local identity Barry Leathers regain his feet after a recent stroke. The popular Berri Football Club life member suffered a stroke on August 24 last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything was normal leading up to the stroke,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember that morning, I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wake up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(My wife) Rae tried to wake me up and I could hear her but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember anything that day at all.â&#x20AC;? The 69-year-old was rushed to the Riverland Regional Hospital in Berri and it was the support of family, friends, the public and hospital staff in the coming weeks that helped his recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to put a sign on the door, there were so many people coming through,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. During recovery, Barry reflected on what it was that had potentially contributed to his stroke, with doctors unable to give him an exact cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing is I have always been a heavy smoker,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been told for ages to give it up and never did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within two days of having the stroke, I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given up smok-

ing, I have had a scare now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to give it upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? It has also been a long battle to learn to speak again but with help from speech therapists Kate and Shannette and those around him, Barry is well on the way.

â&#x2013; ON THE MEND: Berri man Barry Leathers reflecting on the changes he has made to his life following a stroke last year and (below from left) Roger Langdon, Barry, Terry Richards, Max Baker, Bob Warland and Les Pearce with their catches at Arno Bay.

Within two days of having the stroke I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given up smokingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; g.. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife reckons Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a lot more tolerant,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing everything in my power to recover.â&#x20AC;? While Barry still plans to be involved with his beloved Demons football club, this year he might tone down his involvement just a little. Recently, Barry and five other Berri Football Club life members took a trip to Arno Bay, fishing amongst various other things. Not only did the trip help Barry with his speech but he enjoyed â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting away and relaxingâ&#x20AC;? with his best mates.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (speech therapists) have helped me a lot, they are really terrific,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I do slip on the same words but it is improving.â&#x20AC;? Barry said the support from the Riverland has been overwhelming during his recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the footy people came to the hospital to see me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People in the town have been terrific.â&#x20AC;? After returning home from hospital recently, Barry said his outlook on life has changed.

Principal creates history WITH school resuming for the new year in the Riverland, Glossop High School principal Bevin Brooks has become part of history. In his 13th year, Bevin is now the school’s longest serving principal and 2013 will also be his last before retirement. Since Bevin has been involved with Glossop High School, which has a middle school in Glossop and high school in Berri, he has delved into the history of an establish-

Koala attacks on the rise DOG owners are being asked to keep an eye on their pets when koalas are around following a spike in the number of koalas being attacked. Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources Animal Welfare Manager Dr Deb Kelly said a recent count had found about 20 koalas recovering with wildlife carers after being bitten by dogs. “Koalas tend to be more active on the ground in warmer weather, as they look for water or companionship from the opposite sex or when they’re just

moving from tree to tree,” Dr Kelly said. “That brings them into contact with dogs, both in parks and backyards, and dogs and koalas just don’t mix. “We’ve seen some quite serious injuries to koalas in dog attacks in the past couple of months but even a minor wound can end up being fatal because koalas go into shock very easily. It’s not only the koalas that are at risk, either, according to Dr Kelly. “Koalas have long, sharp claws and they can

do a fair bit of damage to a dog if they’re cornered,” she said. “If you see a koala on the ground in your backyard, make sure you keep your dog inside, for the safety of both animals. “If the koala is uninjured, it will probably leave the same way it came in, but if it is already injured or obviously trapped, call Fauna Rescue (8289 0896) for assistance.” Dr Kelly said backyard swimming pools were also a hazard for koalas, as they may fall in while drinking.

Hood: Review required for tax on businesses in South Australia FAMILY First MLC Dennis Hood is calling on a review of taxes on South Australian businesses after an analysis revealed that the state pays the highest taxes. “An analysis of small business taxes in the eight states and territories by ‘Your Business’ has shown that Western Australia has the lowest taxes and South Australia has the highest,” Mr Hood said. “The comparison was of small businesses turning over $10 million per year with a $1 million property portfolio. “In Western Australia, du-

ties, land and payroll tax and workcover premiums came to $30,029. “In SA, the equivalent taxes were $48,988. “That is 63 per cent more tax.” Other states and territories fell between these figures, with NT, NSW, Qld and Tas all being under $40,000 per year. ACT and Vic were $45,123 and $46,121 respectively. “It is no wonder that SA has difficulty attracting businesses when it has the highest taxes,” Mr Hood said.

“Such a high youth unemployment rate is simply unacceptable. “Young people need to be confident that if they want to work, there are opportunities for them. “It is essential that the government takes positive steps to encourage industries to set up in SA to create employment opportunities. “Reducing state taxes is one such means. “SA offers a great lifestyle and environment, but the cost of doing business here is presently too great.”

Helping lower youth unemployment

■ INVOLVED: Program organisers and participants (Back from left) Kristy O’Brien, Chearn Devroome, KristyO’Hara, Rebecca Irving, Amy Geale, Jamie-Lee Clogg, Chris Rogers, Brayden Murray, Melanie Gilgen, (front from left) Opal Pappin, Kara Irving, Lisa Helgeson, Lucinda Pappin and Jason Benn. YOUNG people in the Waikerie area have recently learnt skills and strategies that better equip them to live their lives well – physically, vocationally and socially. Riverland Divisoin of General Practice (RDGP) in partnership with Riverland headspace, Waikerie Medical Clinic and Waikerie Independent Learning Centre facilitated a 10 week program, Live Life Well at the Waikerie Salt Church; funded by a community grant from the Coca-Cola Australia Foundation. Live Life Well is a program aimed at increasing basic life skills and bridg-

ing the gap between earning and learning rates for local youth compared to the rest of the state. The program was developed by RDGP and Riverland headspace to enable young people to engage with the community, whether through employment, study or community participation. “With the region having a lower average income than the state average, and in turn increased rates of youth unemployment and disadvantage, programs like Live Life Well are vitally important,” RDGP senior program officer Melanie Gilgen said.

Participants learnt more about employment opportunities, further study, and gained advice and insight from a variety of local guest speakers including Madec, TAFE SA, Waikerie Medical Clinic and the Loxton Waikerie Council. “As a result of the program, four participants completed Barista/Responsible Service of Alcohol training and two have gained part time employment,” Mrs Gilgen said. Successful completion of this program has enabled 19 of the 31 participants to obtain points towards completing their South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE).

Emu bush survives harshest conditions in your garden By ANDREW WALLADGE I HAVE written about Eremophila before and I probably will continue to, as I am constantly inspired to garden in harsh conditions with them. As a group they would have to be among the toughest when it comes to frost tolerance, drought tolerance and for the most part, they are not fussy about soil type including the heaviest of clays. They are characterised by a tubular flower with a pouting bottom lip followed by a hard woody seed capsule called a drupe and known as an ‘emu bush’. These, if they are lucky enough to be eaten by an emu (hence their common name), are deposited along with a nice bundle of fertiliser many kilometres away, ready to colonise a new area. Emu bush flowers quite literally come in all colours and with a bit of planning, a garden could have them in flower right through the year. This also means they are providing a reliable source of nectar over long periods for nectar eating birds which in turn will keep insect numbers down for you. Emu bushes come in all sizes except large trees. Many are quite flat ground covers, lots of small shrubs to one metere, many around two metres and

still more at two to three metres and a few small large shrubs/trees including our own local Eremophila bignoniflora (3-4m) and E. longifolia (3-5m). I have noticed over the past two years, an increased interest in emu bush as garden plants, which in turn has meant that nurseries have been stocking more and of course, Berri Native Plants has got the shelves busting with emu bush. A few varieties that are relatively new to cultivation include Eremophila ‘Augusta Storm’ – up to 0.5m with stormy purple flowers, E. Fairy Floss – 2m with orange/red flowers, E. veneta – 1m with metallic bluish green flowers, E. pinnatifida – 1m with fragrant leaves and pale purple flowers, just to name a few. So with (slightly) cooler days and warm soils now is the time to get in the garden and get busy planting emu bushes.

■ BEAUTIFUL: The various forms of Eremophila that can survive the harshest conditions and provide stunning colour.

Romantic ideas for Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day VALENTINEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Day is known for exchanging gifts to show ones sign of affection. Often the special day, next Thursday, can come around sooner than you think. Before you know it, you are running around trying to find a gift, book dinner or plan that perfect weekend away. These tips (for males) demonstrate a number of options you can do to make your girlfriend/wife feel appreciated on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. In the Riverland, why not book lunch or dinner at Caffe Sorelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Renmark, Overland Corner Hotel or the Lyrup Club. Each offers unique options and special Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day menus. Jewellery is a favourite on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day and Kane Watts Jewellers in Berri certainly know how to offer a memorable gift. Why not check out a range of gifts at Bridal Bliss in Loxton or book a romantic boat cruise with BMS Tours. Another gift which will put you in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good booksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a voucher for a treatment at Pure Skin Beauty Therapy in Berri. The following is a list of further ideas to make Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day very romantic:

Chick flick marathon YOUR partner would have some movie favourites, make a list of all the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chick flicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that she loves. Prepare them ready for her to watch and then have a movie night that she is sure to remember. Cuddle up with her and a big bowl of popcorn and enjoy a romantic night.

night, so attempt to make some of her favourite meals. She is sure to appreciate your efforts. Throw in some appetisers, dessert, and a bouquet of roses and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a memorable Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day.

is where you lay down a trail of fresh red rose petals that lead to the bedroom. Greet her with a room of rose petals sprinkled everywhere, with flickering candlelight also in action.

Have a spa day

12 Days of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day gifts

FOR men it may be a bit out of the ordinary but you can spend a relaxing day at the spa together. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a more romantic Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day gift than spoiling your girl with massages, aroma-therapy, and a facial wit her man right by her side enjoying it with her.

Balloons

Be the chef tonight EVEN if you are not the greatest cook in the world, plan a menu to make for your loved one. If your lady is typically the cook in the house, let her relax on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Remember, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her

A VERY colourful and thoughtful surprise includes filling a room full of pink, red, and white balloons. Hide a secret gift in one of them and let her pop the balloons until she finds the â&#x20AC;&#x153;secretâ&#x20AC;? balloon. You can hide a stuffed animal, concert tickets, or a piece of jewellery like a ring inside the special balloon.

IF you really want to do something special for your lady on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more romantic than giving her a gift everyday for the 12 Days Before Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day? Send her a singing telegram. Send her a cookie bouquet. Leave a long-stemmed rose and a box of chocolates in her car one day. Tie a bunch of red, white, and pink balloons on her doorknob. Buy her a giant teddy bear and leave it on her doorstep. And every girl loves a bouquet of beautiful roses to be delivered to her office. The possibilities are endless.

10 • Riverland Weekly – Thursday February 7, 2013

Keeping your dog entertained while you are at work WITH the holiday period now over, it is not just local residents who have been lamenting the return to work and school for another year. The end of the break can also be a difficult time of year for dogs that miss playing with their owners and must readjust to an empty household. Leading veterinarian Dr Rod Straw said that idleness in domestic dogs was an overlooked issue by many pet owners. “It is important for a dog’s mental and physical wellbeing that they receive regular stimulation,” he said. “In the same way that humans need to be entertained, dogs need to be kept active and challenged or they will quickly become bored. “In many cases this can lead to inappropriate behaviour, with some dogs resorting to barking, scratching and destroying objects as a source of stimulation and to attract attention.”

While pet owners can’t spend every day with their dogs, Dr Straw said there are some simple measures they can take to ease the stress and boredom of their animals.

Puzzles and toys – Having a collection of fun toys and games is a great way to keep your dog occupied while you are away. There are always new toys coming on the market and owners should look to rotate toys on different days to keep dogs entertained. Chewing bones – In addition to helping dogs to keep busy, a chewing bone can also provide dental benefits by helping to control plaque. Owners should avoid giving their dogs leftover bones from roasts and instead opt for bones made from synthetic materials, which are better for their teeth.

GOURMET PET MEAT SELECTIONS - Cooked meatloaf especially for dogs - Frozen chicken or chicken & roo mince - Chicken necks - 20kg bags dry food - Fresh kangaroo meat, diced/minced LAUCKE’S CHOOK FOOD - Home lay pellets - Extra egg - Red Hen free range OPEN - Wheat WEDNESDAY - Chicken crumble TO FRIDAY - Bran & Pollard 10.00 - 5pm - Shellgrit SATURDAY

ing service is a good way to ensure your dog stays in its regular exercise routine. Play dates – Organising a play date provides an opportunity for your dog to socialise with others. If possible alternate play dates on days one of you is not at work to share the workload.

Morning walks – A morning walk before work can assist your dog to burn excess energy, helping them to feel more settled during the day.

Here are 10 simple ideas:

ROSEDALE MEATS

Treasure hunts – Hiding small amounts of food around the garden is a fun way to keep your dog entertained throughout the day.

Evening games – Taking some time to play games with your dog at night gives them something to look forward to at the end of the day.

Training – Undertaking some training with your dog is not just an avenue for improving behaviour, but also an excellent way to keep them active and entertained.

Food distributors - There are a variety of creative food distributors on the market, which require dogs to chew through bags or solve a puzzle to access their food. As your dog will need to play with the dispenser to reach their food, it may hold their attention for longer than other toys.

Do your research when choosing a dog day care centre to ensure they have good facilities and will pay your dog regular attention.

Dog day care – The occasional trip to dog day care can be a great way to break up your dog’s week.

Dog walkers- If you don’t have time to walk your dog, or are away from home, engaging a dog walk-

■ BORED?: Leading vets believe that it is important to keep your pet entertained, even when you are at work or on holidays.

Dr Straw said dog owners looking for new ideas or struggling to keep their dogs entertained could turn to their vets for advice “If your dog continues to seem bored despite your best efforts, a vet can be a good sounding board to discuss new ideas and potentially identify any other underlying problems they may be experiencing,” he concluded.

Australian Veterinary Association warns againts serving alcohol to pets THE Australian Veterinary Association is warning pet owners to leave cats and dogs out of the party when alcohol is served. President of AVA’s small animal special interest group, Dr David Neck said that every pet owner must understand that even small amounts of alcohol can kill

a pet. “They can also get exposure by drinking or licking up cooking products that contain alcohol, mouthwashes, perfume, cleaning products or by getting into cough syrups containing alcohol or other medications,” he said. “Dogs and cats can even

get alcohol toxicity by eating fermented foods if they eat enough of them. “Keep cats and dogs in a safe place when entertaining. “Glasses left lying around will offer an easy opportunity for a curious pet to get their nose into the glass and have a taste.”

Symptoms of alcohol poisoning can be similar to other diseases. Watch for changes in behaviour such as problems walking or standing up, lack of coordination, drowsiness, a slow breathing rate, excessive urination, vomiting or unresponsiveness.

Enterprising Mark Wilgar of Milduraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Running Water Adventuresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has captured a host of our traditions for Australia Day in creating â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Very Funky Aquathonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, an event with a difference. There is running and swimming as part of the event of course but also the hoisting of the flag, cooking of barbecues and consuming of some ice cold lagers. Can I also suggest a

bit of our traditional â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bird watchingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goes on at the event in the Mildura Dockside, Mildura Complex, billed the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Australian Capital for Sport and Mischief on Australia Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Two Riverland women, Nadia Mills and Ruth Strout, joined in the fun in Mildura together with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wonder Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; andâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Australiana Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This Aquathon is different as only the women race in the 400 metre swim, four kilometre run event and the

men are left to hoist the flag, cook the barbecue and generally be slaves for the day. Just reward then perhaps that they get into some icy cold lagers and cheer the girls on as they zoom around the course. They may have consumed all of the beer though or more because the competitors are a bit more up market. The popular drinks after the event were apparently Eff Lenxia orange juice and Zilzie champagne.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS

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

WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Jason Gordon sets new course record in dinghy derby to claim...

Waikerie’s 14-year-old hockey star in the making ■ AS Waikerie’s 14-year-old Cooper Powardy starts school at Henley High in Adelaide this year after being accepted into a Specialist Sports Program for Hockey, he takes with him a record that would be enough to make anyone who has gone through a complete sporting career without enjoying the experience of winning a team premiership, cry. But I am sure no one would begrudge the member of the Hockey SA Elite Performers Program for being in four premiership teams in the 2012 season from four grand final appearances as he becomes yet another product from the Riverland hockey ‘factory’ that has the potential to play at a much higher level. Cooper’s premiership medals last season came in the under 15 and A Grade men with his home club Waikerie and after travelling to Adelaide for training and matches each week, he won premierships in under 15s and under 18s for Seacliff. He took out the under 15s Best and Fairest trophy for Waikerie and Best and Fairest Team Man for the age group at Seacliff. Talking to the 2012 A grade premiership coach at Waikerie Ryan Edwards, he said “Cooper is still only very young and we certainly have not seen the best of him.” “He was really full on last season as on some weekend’s he would be in Adelaide on Friday night to play both under 15 and under 18 matches for Seacliff and then back here on Saturday for under 15, under 18 and a senior game with either the As or Bs.“

Lange to play in junior national basketball champs ■ FOLLOWING trials in Adelaide last weekend Loxton’s Che Lange, 16, received advice on Monday that he had been selected in the South Australian team to play in the national under 18 Country Basketball Championships in Brisbane in April. Another Loxton junior, Charlie Rogers has been named as a reserve. The news for Che followed his cousin Tyson Hoffmann, 18, also leaving Loxton at the weekend as another stage of his promising career in the game unfolded. Tyson has gained entry into a new basketball college in Melbourne after his potential was noticed by some of the best coaches in the business. A product of the Loxton club where he graduated through the ranks to division one, he has also played with the Mavericks in Adelaide at under 16, 18 and 23 levels and turned out in four matches for the club in the ABA competition. He has also represented South Australia at varying age groups over the years.

Third consecutive win ■ THE first two rounds of the 2013 Riverland Dinghy Championship, the Dash for Cash and Dinghy Derby, at Renmark on the weekend were all about family retainers. In Friday night’s Dash for Cash, Linton Price and Colin Gordon, in probably their only championship appearance this year, kept their unbeaten record in the event intact finshing ahead of Jason Gordon and Hayden Schepel and Shane Palat and Colby Townsend. Then on Sunday in the 33rd annual Derby, Price’s brotherin-law Jason Gordon set a new course record in winning a thrilling race from last year’s overall champion Matt Thur by only 15 seconds. It made it a hattrick of Derby wins for Gordon. Shane Palat and Colby Townsend finished third in the event in an impressive debut in

a sports boat. In some of the other classes, 30HP Rookies went to Gary Ociepa and Corey Lambert, Brady Murch and Kyle Pfitzner won in 30hp Super Standards followed by ‘Two Dogs’ Williamson and Emma Thompson from Western Australia, Matt Schwartzkopff and Sam Kenyon won in 30hp Standard and Mark and Bode Baylis claimed the 25hp Standards. About 65 boats took part with a notable feature being that many of them posted considerably faster times than in 2012. The championship is set up for a terrific battle over the remaining rounds in many of the classes. In 30HP Sports, with Gordon missing the Dash for Cash, Thur’s consistency has him well placed to defend his title while Palat is now a genuine threat to them both.

■ THE unfortunate closure of the Riverland Greyhound track was always going to affect how trainers that supported the facility went about their business in the industry. Actually, in recent times there has been more transfers of dogs than there has been the transfers of players in the football scene. Two former prominent trainers around the Riverland Club Don Gordon and Bruce Lellmann, who has moved his operation to Lewiston, are reasonably low key as far as racing is concerned at this stage but both have a number of promising pups which are work in progress. Gordon has also taken over ‘Honky Tonk Flyer’ from the Lellmann kennels, while two of his greyhounds ‘Cool Techno’ and ‘Digi Techno’ are now with Rodney Millington at Irymple with ‘Digi Techno’ joining ‘Ontario Lady’ from the same litter. The trio is racing at places like Horsham and Warrnambool. Lellmann retains successful duo ‘Stack ‘Em Flat’ and ‘Crazy Heart’ with the two of them taking part in a points score event held over three races at meetings at Gawler in recent weeks. The race distances increased from 400, 500 to 600 metres with ‘Crazy Heart’ going into last Sunday’s final race as favourite

26 6

after winning at 400 metres and running second at 500 metres. However, she missed the jump and after being pushed off the track finished out of the placings while, in typical fashion, ‘Stack ‘Em Flat’, following a fourth in race one and third in race two, flashed home from last place over the longer distance to end up a close second. In the overall points score positions, the two shared third spot. Bruce, who does not train for other owners but has been extremely successful breeding, training and racing his own greyhounds over a long career, is optimistic about the future of the thirteen month old pups he will name shortly. The same applies to Don Gordon, who apart from now racing ‘Honky Tonk Girl’, is training another from the same litter as ‘Digi Techno’ and ‘Ontario Lady’, ‘Was Busted’, which is ready for a race start “now that it has brushed up on some manners”. Meanwhile, Don’s daughter

recover and return to racing.” ‘Prince Ben’ is another in her ‘family’ that continued to defy the odds and at four-and-a-halfyears of age it still took injury to retire him. “He went out a winner and overall had 85 starts for 16 firsts, 15 seconds and 15 thirds and stake money of $17,000,” Nicole said. Now it is ‘Gertrude Bale’ which came to the Price kennels without a win in nine starts that will get the special Nicole treatment. A win and third placing from four races indicates there is a place in the hat for this one as well. Another trainer that has been a stayer in the game is Kingstonon-Murray’s Vern Anderson but he too has scaled his operations down at this stage. The star of his kennels, fiveyear-old veteran ‘Winburn’ was sadly injured in a race at Angle Park recently and will not race again. ‘Winburn’ had a career 67 starts for nine wins, 16 seconds and nine thirds with two of those victories at Angle Park and six at Gawler. “He was just appearing to come good again and had run two seconds before the injury,” Vern said.

Nicole Price continues to work with her unique “family pet” style with a small team of greyhounds and it is understandable that as she becomes so attached to some of the dogs there is going to be some pain to go with the gain. I recall writing previously about Nicole seeing greyhound ‘Super Looper’ race on television and although it had definite starting problems amongst others, she decided that she “simply had to have that dog”. And she got him for her owners after persuading the previous trainer to sell. Her patience in correcting Super Looper’s problems was definitely beyond the call of normal duty but it paid dividends and the greyhound showed enormous speed in its four starts for two wins a second and a third. But in running that last event and on the door step of starting one of the favourites in a $30,000 race ‘Super’ sustained serious ligament and leg injuries. Nicole’s trade mark patience has kicked in again. “I really bonded with this dog that was a real problem when I got him and we are the best of mates,” she said. “He is only two-and-a-halfyears-old so I am giving him all the time he needs so that he may

Last week’s solution:

Thursday February 7, 2013 – Riverland Weekly • 23 As a coach I take full responsibility for what happens in our footy department.. It’s my belief we’ve done everything right.~ James Hird.

The consecutive number of times Jason Gordon has won the Riverland Dinghy Derby after winning this year’s event.

Waikerie drought ends ■ BASEBALL will return to Waikerie this Saturday night for the first time since the late 1980s. The Riverland Baseball League has programmed two senior matches as it continues to promote the sport through our whole region. Recently a successful night was held at the Lyrup oval. Saturday night’s games will be held at the Waikerie Football Oval with Berri Blue (fifth) to take on Lyrup (fourth) at 6.20pm and then at 8.30pm top team Berri Red will play Loxton, who is third ranked. Loxton will be looking to upset the reigning champion as it strives for second place on the ladder and the valuable double chance. Entry to the ground is free

with the Waikerie Football Club to cater for the event. In last Friday’s matches Loxton had to work hard to defeat an improving Berri Blue 8-6, Renmark Blue also won a competitive clash against Lyrup 15-7 and Berri Red accounted for Renmark White 15-0. Meanwhile, there was a certain amount of confusion in last week’s column when I reported on Cara Venning’s performance at the State Softball Championships in Adelaide over the Australia Day long weekend. I made a major contribution by continuing to use Cara’s maiden name in my reporting and I apologise for that. However Cara surely has to take some of the blame for part of the discrepancies as it was her versatility in the sport that even

caused confusion amongst her own officials and players. When the multi Riverland softball best and fairest award winner was named in the 2013 Team of the Carnival at the championships, it was certainly not unreasonable to assume that it was in her normal capacity of pitcher. Not so as it seems that Cara spent a couple of matches at the event as catcher and with votes being lodged by opposing teams impressed enough in that role to be named in that position in the Team of the Carnival. Cara also acted as coach of the B grade Riverland team over the weekend. Out of the Adelaide tournament it was also interesting to note that former Berri player Dani Nixon, who now plays for

Central Districts, was another member of the carnival team. Looking at local softball from last weekend, top team Berri had to work overtime to hold off Cobdogla in a low scoring contest, 4-2. Kelsey Deniss, Kenny Karpany and Kris Taylor stood out for Berri, while best for Cobdogla were Tracey Liddell, Di Passmore and Jodie Sullivan. In contrast it continued to rain runs in primary grade in closely contested matches. Loxton (Jeb Loxton, Deegan Rothe, Cody Hammerstein) 21 defeated Waikerie (Atalaya Burford, James Smith, Caitlyn Watkins) 18 and Berri (Casey Ferguson, Kia Jesser, Ashlee Hibbard) 16 accounted for Renmark (Cindy Quach, Kayla Leckie-Hefford, Hamish McDonald) 13.

Action packed schedule at local speedway ■ RIVERLAND Speedway president Greg Haynes is excited about the program that his track at Calperum Hill, Renmark, has on offer for this Saturday night’s third meeting of the season. “For the start, we have for some time ran AMCAs as a club event but never as a round of the nationals, so to have them as round one of that event is exciting for spectators,” he said. “It will mean better racing and a bigger car count as well

with numbers expected to exceed 15, which is great for our little bull ring.” Also on the program are two other major events, the PA Higgs Memorial for Modified Sedans and the Riverland Street Stocks title. The PA Higgs Memorial is growing in popularity as a major race on the Modified Sedan calendar and the club is hoping for a great line-up that may include Brendan ‘Georgie’ Higgs back after a short absence to take it up to

the visitors from interstate. Chasing the Riverland Street Stock title will see not only local drivers like Rhys Heinrich, Neville Nitschke and Baz Sullivan but visitors from Broken Hill, Mildura, Murray Bridge and Adelaide, including the Buchanan clan, Adrian Wright and Darren Blumfield. Over 20 cars are expected to take part. They are three blue ribbon events but it does not end there. No less than eight Late Mod-

els have nominated, including state champion Matt Crimmins and former Super Sedan gun Steve Vaughan, while Wingless Sprints are sure to put on a great show as Jason Gantz pits his driving expertise against the city and interstate competitors. V8 Super Modifieds will take patrons back to yesteryear’s racing and then to wrap the night up the favourite Figure 8/Ramp race is back again. Gates open at 5pm with racing from 6pm.

Berri continues outstanding form to claim women’s division one pennant bowls premiership ■ BERRI continued on from its outstanding form in the latter stages of the elimination final against Lyrup last Friday to comfortably win Monday’s division one women’s pennant bowls grand final against Renmark. It was the Berri teams’ 10th title in the last 13 seasons and it was a massive turnaround from the second semi-final when Renmark, the big improvers in season 2012/13, won and went directly to the premiership decider. On Monday, the Kerry Treloar rink continued to bowl superbly defeating Lois Nitschke’s group 27-16 but they were upstaged by Jan Grosser’s team winning 30-9 over Jocie Cooper. Kath Mader gave Berri a clean sweep of the match ups with a close contest against Sylvia Brady, winning 18-17 and an overall victory over Lyrup 75-42. To understand the magnitude of Berri’s effort in reversing the result of that semi-final, it is best to glance back at the scores from the day that commenced a

finals series that was completely decided at Waikerie. Renmark defeated Berri 68 to 50 with Cooper defeating Treloar 17-10, Nitschke/Mader 29-15 and Brady going down to Grosser 22-28. Then in the elimination final Lyrup appeared to have the defending champion in strife nearing half time but the Berri machine kicked into action. In division two, Renmark RSL may have taken a tumble down to third position late in the minor round after leading the ladder for much of the season but that too seemed to be a wakeup call for the former division one club. After storming through the earlier finals, the RSL side won all three rinks in the grand final against Loxton to take the premiership 62-41. In division three, Loxton Red proved too strong for Renmark RSL in two finals meetings winning 53-29 then 50-24 in the premiership match. Looking at men’s pennant bowls who says lightning

does not strike twice in the same place? A few weeks ago Loxton had a chance to regain the double chance position when its rival Renmark lost to Berri but on the same day it went down itself in a close finish to sixth placed Waikerie. Then on Saturday, Barmera slightly opened the door to a late spot in the top four with a surprise 71-70 victory against Loxton only to find that just down the road Loxton RSL, its rival for fourth position, had also caused an upset 82-68 over Berri. Last bowl results are proving common with John Morena, despite his rink going down to Peter Kimber, clinching Saturday’s game for Barmera with his last delivery. With only two rounds remaining, Berri has 168 points, Renmark (to play Loxton then Renmark RSL) 140.6, Loxton (Renmark and Loxton RSL) 130, Loxton RSL (Renmark RSL and Loxton) 110.4 and Barmera (bye and Berri) the final four appears settled.

The same cannot be said for the other divisions however. In division two, it reads Berri Red 135, Renmark Gold 134, Moorook 119, Monash, 112, Loxton Black 112, Loxton Green 110, Waikerie 106 and in division three, Waikerie 133, Barmera 109, Berri 103, Loxton Yellow 89 and Monash 86. Division four is also a lottery with Waikerie on 143, Berri 121, Loxton White 99, Monash 95 and Barmera 94. The calculators will be standard equipment in some bowls bags as an unbelievable season winds down. Also last weekend Region Four State Men’s Triples sectional play was held at Berri. Section winners were skippered by Jade Wright (Loxton RSL), Andrew Hill (Berri), Chris Jones (Nuriootpa) and Trevor Neinjus ( Freeling). In section three won by Jones, all three rinks ended up on two points but the Barossa team edged out those led by Loxton’s Bruce Schubert and Berri’s Mark Kubank on shots up.

SPORT Cycling’s sprint finish

■ WINDY conditions made for tough going in a Monash cycling criterium recently but it also contributed to some exciting racing with Shane Pitman winning the A grade by a half wheel from Chris Gartery after a hectic sprint to the line. The next to finish were Jacob Otto and Peter Schammer. Twenty riders took part on the night with Justin Lane winning the B grade in impressive style from Derek Martinson, Dennis Robinson finishing ahead of Colby Jachmann in C grade, Gordon Pipe winning from Bob Pankhurst in D grade and in E grade Tim Ridley beating home Laura Strout.

First up win at country carnival ■ AN all-round effort from the Mallee’s Haydon Thorpe has given Murray Districts Barrier a first up win at the SACA Country Carnival on Tuesday. Thorpe picked up 4/26 and Brad Rosenzweig snared 2/33 to help bowl out Yorke Peninsula for 169. In reply, Murray Districts Barrier passed the total six wickets down with Thorpe making 38 and Loxton’s Brad Walter 21. In the first round, Murray Districts Barrier lost to Fleurieu and Districts Red by 112 runs in a disappointing display. Young Mallee fast bowler Tom Hawthorne picked up 3/27 as the opposition made 6/196 and Murray Districts Barrier were skittled for 84 in reply.

Chase on for Waikerie-Ramco ■ WAIKERIE-Ramco will resume at 2/29 in Riverland A grade cricket on Saturday looking for a rare victory over Loxton. The visitors were all out for 147 thanks to a later order contribution from opening bowler Dale Ward with 22 and scores from Tristan Graetz (26) and Jake Albrecht (26). All-rounder Kym Taylor was the destroyer, taking 5/24 from 17 overs, while Nathan Paschke picked up 3/42. Meanwhile, Renmark faces a tough task at 1/6 to chase down Berri’s 203. Paul Burnett top scored with 42 and Dan Reynolds made 40, while Dale Lindner and Dan Shawyer each picked up three wickets.

Waikerie-Gold wins thriller ■ WAIKERIE Gold won an exciting contest against Blanchetown Swan Reach by one run in one of the closest matches in Mid Murray cricket for some time on Saturday. Gold Manager/Coach Jon Matthews said “Luke Exton, although he only made 18, probably won the game for us as he knuckled down when we were struggling to get us over the line”. Veteran Andrew Bevan with 58 and Cameron Hawke, 49, also made valuable contributions in getting Gold to 156 in response to BSR’s 155 BSR’s best bowler was David Waechter with 3 for 22. Earlier, Kevin Roberts made 36 for BSR and Troy Cowland 21 with Ricky Carter, 3 for 17and Hawke , 3 for 16 doing the damage for Waikerie Gold. In the other game, Perponda, 4 for 129 with 56 from Jason Ashenden and 28 from Chris Rudiger, chased down Morgan’s 123 (David Sutherland 30, Neil Meyers 24). Amongst the bowlers, Tomkinson took 3 for 21 for Perponda.

Riverland swimmers successful at Loxton open carnival ■ THE Loxton Swimming Club hosted a very successful open carnival on Saturday, despite cool water temperatures. There were 138 swimmers, including 41 from Loxton and 24 from Berri and swimmers from Renmark and Waikerie, competing for medals in the 63 events. Riverland swimmers were successful in winning a total of 84 medals – 26 gold, 26 silver and 32 bronze – an excellent result given the calibre of Adelaide swimmers who were present at the carnival. The finals for the handicap events (BBB, freestyle and freestyle

relays) and the Dash for Cash provided excitement for the crowd at the end of the day. Local teams were successful in the relay final, with the Loxton C team taking out the gold medal, followed in by Berri A (silver) and Berri C (bronze). The challenge in competing in the handicap events is to swim as close to the nominated time as possible, without “breaking time” by swimming too fast. The fastest male and female freestyle swimmers on the day were invited to contest the Dash for Cash event at the conclusion of the carnival.

Lachlan Forward (Loxton) won the male event and Brock Verrall (Berri) claimed third place. The female event was won by Adelaide swimmers. The third Riverland Swimming Association pennant carnivals will be contested tomorrow night. Loxton will travel to Berri and Waikerie will have its first away carnival for the season when they travel to Renmark. The pennant trophy for this season will be decided based on the outcomes of the carnivals this Friday night, so teams will all be aiming to perform at their best.

Local cricket’s funding boost By BRAD PERRY CRICKET clubs across the Riverland and Mid Murray will share in almost $20,000 funding to help upgrade facilities as part of the SACA Club Facilities Grant Program. Loxton has been awarded $5000 to replace the turf wicket square on the main oval, while the Renmark District Cricket Club was granted $4000 towards the purchase of a new turf wicket roller to curate the association’s ovals. In the Mid Murray area, Claypans Cricket Club received $5000 to replace artificial turf on practice wickets and Perponda CC will use $4000 to resurface its pitch with artificial turf and to provide cover. Almost 70 cricket clubs across the state in regional and metropolitan centres were awarded funding. The funding is part of SACA’s Club Facilities Grant program, which is being made available following the $535 million redevelopment of Adelaide Oval. “We want this to help local clubs increase participation and inspire the next generation of cricketers and fans,” SACA cricket operations manager Shane Bernhardt said. “Many communities need better facilities, and if this funding helps improve the chances of having more people get out there and play cricket, then that’s what we want to see.”
