Too Sour to swallow 15 fold increase in export inspection cost

n SOUR TASTE: Tanya Punteriero with some of the lime crop that the Cooltong business is unable to export this year, due to a 15-fold hike in export inspection costs.

By Bev Story Lime growers Mick and Tanya Punteriero are sour about being forced out of the citrus export market this year. The small Cooltong orchardists said a sharp jump in export inspection fees, from $550 to $8530 had stopped them from being able to export limes this season. That means markets they have built up under their Lime King brand to New Zealand and Hong Kong in the past 20 years have now been lost for this year - and possibly forever. It forces the family to sell soley to the domestic market - in doing so plummeting the price they will receive. Although exports only made up about a third of their lime sales, as more growers have been unable to export, prices within Australia have fallen - from $30/ kg two weeks ago to $4/kg this week, Mick said. He said the issue was that the AQUIS export inspection cost increase had been applied at a flat rate - regardless of the size of the seller - therefore penalising smaller producers. “If you do a lot of units then you absorb it very quickly,” Mick said. The Punteriero family sells between 300 and 500 bins of limes a year, depending on the season, with about 30 per cent of their crop usually being sold on the export market. “We send all over Australia - they take about 70 percent and 30 percent goes in to export. “The export is not the big thing but it plays a very big part overall.” Tanya said it also had a flow-on affect within the community, piled on top of increased costs for just about everything else - transport, picking and packing wages and electricity. “If you take all of that into account, we are probably getting less per kilo than last year and the year before that, and the year before that,” she said. “This year we are not going to be able to export and our crop is well below average. “In a good season we have a lot of limes so exporting it to New Zealand actually gets rid of a lot of produce instead of dropping it all on the local market,” Tanya said. “If we all just dump our fruit in the market it obviously drops the price for all growers.” An added advantage of the New Zealand market is that it takes small limes which can be picked earlier and which aren’t suitable for the domestic markets. She said bigger producers had the option of setting themselves up with cold storage to prolong the period during which they could sell well beyond the picking season. “Because we are small the cost of getting a cold room is just beyond us,” she said. “In a cold room limes store quite well.” There has already been an impact on the employment Mystere Orchards has offered to others in the community. In 2012, Tanya oversaw packing shed operations with three packers to help her - this season there is only her and one other working in the shed. For now the Punteriero family is hoping that the issue of export costs can be sorted before next year. “We well and truly hope that we can sort this out, because hopefully (next year) we will have a good crop and we will need to export.”

Independent Senator for South Australia, Nick Xenophon, has called on Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig to justify a recent massive hike in export fees for Australian farmers yesterday. During Question Time,, Senator Xenophon pointed to the example of Mick and Tanya Punteriero, who have a small familyowned lime orchard in the Riverland. “Mick and Tanya used to pay $550 for two hours’ worth of export inspections,” Nick said. “Now the department is expecting them to cough up $8530 for the same service.” Senator Xenophon’s question comes on the same day of the release of the Senate Committee report into the management of the Murray-Darling Basin system, which failed to acknowledge the contribution of

Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said the South Australian Government needs to lobby the Federal Government on behalf on Riverland growers - to bring fees back to a figure that was realistic. “The issue of that the regional has some 4000 small businesses that will all, in some shape or form, bare increased cost of doing business to export,” Mr Whetstone said. “Our State Government needs to be lobbying on behalf of these small businesses, on this issue with AQUIS. “It has the potential to stop any small business from being viable.” He said small business was the heart of the South Australian economy and were faced with a disproportionally high cost of export which was “not acceptable”. “The multiplying factor of export is 10 to one, so for every $1 that an export business makes - it is about $10 that goes back to the State economy.” He said even before the hike in cost for export inspections, regional small business in South Australia were faced with high costs. Added to that they produced for the “high end of

early adopters of water saving measures. Senator Xenophon said that although the report also raised serious concerns about the management of the Murray-Darling Basin, it would provide little comfort to Riverland primary producers who had also been hit with the recent hike in export fees. “Riverland irrigators are under attack from all angles,” Nick said. The Government doesn’t seem to understand or care how tough people are finding it to keep their farms going.” Senator Xenophon has previously criticised the difficulty SA irrigators have had in accessing to the $5.8 billion fund for onfarm water efficiency measures because they were already too water efficient to qualify. “We need to be sure that the buckets of

money thrown at the Basin don’t give us drops of water in return,” Nick said. “It’s time to recognise early adopters of water saving technologies, who have dipped into their own pockets to reduce their impact on the Basin.” “On top of that, exports are now faced with massive increases in export fees,” Nick said. Senator Xenophon questioned Minister Ludwig on the amount of consultation the department undertook with small businesses before implementing the fee increases. “You can’t expect someone like Mick and Tanya to pay the same fees as huge agribusinesses worth tens of millions of dollars. This is a massive failure and it needs to be rectified as a matter of urgency,” Nick said.

Two arrested for assaulting police

A 27-year-old Renmark man was arrested at about 9.45am on Monday, charged with hindering police and aggravated assault. It is alleged the man had been reported at about 9.15am on the same morning for driving a motor vehicle without a licence, and then a short time later in a neighbouring street when police were arresting a 23-year-old Renmark woman the man is alleged to have approached the police punching an officer in the head and pulling one officer’s hair. He appeared in the Berri Magistrates Court on Tuesday and was released on bail. The 23-year-old woman was arrested and charged with disorderly behaviour, aggravated assault and hindering police.

She also appeared before the Berri Magistrates court on Tuesday and was released on bail.

Arrested for behaviour

Young author published Berri ADA Walladge has become a published author at just the age of 14. The Berri teenager won the right to have five copies of a short novel published after entering a national writing competition. She had to nominate how many words she would write within the month deadline in order to be eligible. Ada committed to writing 8000 words, but needed 9000 to complete her novel Heart's Fire. The student, who is home-schooled by her mum Beth, was encouraged by the response she received and as a result her mum and dad, Andrew, decided to publish a further 100 copies of the book. The result is a short novel suitable for children from eight years through to teenagers, that is set in the Riverland. "It is probably my first complete novel," Ada said. "I have been writing bits and pieces all

my life. "To make it easier, instead of having to do all this research, I just make it basically about here (the Riverland)." However, she has plenty of ideas for more and her mum said Ada had written little stories and poems for as long as she could write. The book tackles issues of guilt and forgiveness and makes a start into what Ada hopes will be a profession in writing. "I would like to pursue it as a career, but there are other things like journalism," Ada said. Berri and Barmera libraries plan to add a copy of the book to each of their collections. The book is for sale for $9.95 from her dad's business, Berri Native Plants, or direct from Ada - phone 8588 3369 or email: adatheauthor@tpg.com.au Ada also took the cover photo for the book.

By Bev Story Vignerons were able to see firsthand how different varieties of grapes fare in local conditions during a recent vineyard walk at Riverland Vine Improvement Centre. Among those attending were the Proud brothers, Phil, Andrew and Brett, from Sherwood Estates at Loxton North. They grow Chardonnay, Carbernet and Shiraz but are open to trying out other types of grapes to better suit markets and environmental conditions. “We have got some land which we can plant up,” Andrew said. Phil said looking at the grapes growing in the vineyard allowed them “to see what is suitable for our area”. “We are exploring the possibility of

alternate varieties,” Phil said. The brothers said that this year’s grape yield had been average. Clare grape growers boosted numbers significantly at the Riverland Vine Improvement Centre’s annual vineyard walk. Locals only made up about half of the 30 people to attend, with many being tied up with vintage, however others took a break between harvesting to learn more about the work at the centre. However, centre manager David Nitschke was happy with the day which gave those attending the opportunity to view vines ready for harvest, learn about the winemaking process at the centre and taste the finished product. Those on the walk also got the see how vignerons are using a product traditionally used on apples to prevent crop

loss due to sunburn. Riverland Vine Improvement Centre vineyard supervisor Jock Harris said the clay-based product Surround was used to mitigate bunches of Gordo dropping off after being burnt. “It got burnt before we put it on so we are trying to save out was left,” Mr Harris said. “The winery agreed to let us do it. “We are going to do a few more varieties next year.” Mr Harris said they would be looking at applying the product before varieties susceptible to bunch loss became sunburnt. “I think some people have used it a little while but I think with the way the weather is going more and more people are going to it.”

SOLAR NEWS

Chinese Vs German Product There is a stigma attached to Chinese products these days. This is evident in all markets, not just in the solar industry. But is it justified? There once was a time when Japanese product was tarred with the same brush but now, Japanese technology is highly regarded. So are we unfairly judging Chinese made goods? Possibly so... Just like anywhere else in the world, there are good and bad manufacturers in China. This disparity in the market also exists in Australia, Germany and other regions of the world. Each product and manufacturer should be assessed on their own merits, with warranty, features and benefits as well as local support for the product being deciding factors when considering your purchase. Be aware that a good deal of the Chinese Solar Inverters on the market are assembled with European and USA manufactured parts anyway. The cross pollination goes even further with German design technology being used in many Chinese inverters as well. If you are confused about what products to buy and the intricacies of products made in different regions, call a local expert for advice like Solar Depot.

Shelter forced to change after RSPCA swoops Moorook By Bev Story Moorook Animal Shelter will turn animals away to ensure they don’t run foul of the RSPCA again. Shelter spokeswoman Lola McLachlan said despite never receiving any government funding the shelter had always accepted animals in the past - regardless of the condition they arrived in. Ms McLachlan issued a statement via Facebook on Thursday, after the RSPCA inspected the shelter the previous day and took seven dogs and one kitten away. She said the shelter was reported for having too many dogs and being untidy. “We have never described the shelter as ‘The Ritz’,” Ms McLachlan said. “We are aware on first impressions that it looks like a mess but we use and salvage every item possible for the benefit of the animals. “What we can’t salvage for our own purposes we sell as scrap, including cans, bottles and

scrap steel.” She said the centre was the last resort for many animals in the past and without it many would have been put down. “Some animals come in heavily traumatised from the abuse suffered at their owner’s hands,” Ms McLachlan said. “We do our best to rehabilitate, medically treat and provide love and care to these animals and we have a very good success rate in doing so. “These dogs are now in happy, loving homes and described as the ‘best dog ever’.” She lamented that although the majority of the shelter’s dogs and cats came from within Riverland council areas, it got “very little support in return”. “Of the thousands of residents in the Riverland we have only three regular volunteers to care for the animals and clean the kennels. She described having to surrender animals to the RSPCA as “heartbreaking”. “One of the dogs was blind, but happy and secure in his run,” she said. “Another had been heavily

traumatised and showed fear with strangers but loved the volunteers. “He was a silly, happy, wiggly boy when with them. “Others we don’t understand why they were chosen, except for maybe their breed. “One of them being a girl we had spent several thousand dollars on removing a limb when she was involved in a car accident. “This has been a heavy blow to us as we have always tried to

do everything possible to save the lives of these unwanted animals and find them safe and happy homes.” Moorook Animal Shelter does not receive any government funding - rather its funds come from the sale of animals, volunteers’ own pockets and sponsorships. “We have never refused an animal,” Ms McLachlan said. “No matter if the animal requires intensive care or is easily re-

Students need water savvy Glossop Water safety is an important part of outdoor education for Glossop High School students, according to teacher Jess Goodfellow. She said easy access to the River Murray gave students the opportunity to learn kayaking and associated skills in a real situation, rather than in a pool. However, that same proximity to the water also made it more important that students learn skills such as recovering from a capsize and how to rescue others. “This is outdoor education – we come out twice a week and do some kayaking skills,” Ms Goodfellow said. “They have to do a practical for it. “It is so much better because we have a river available. “It is so good that they get to come out here.” As well as learning to paddle in the regular lesions the students will also undertake a half day paddle at the completion of their course.

homable we have always assisted. “It didn’t matter if the animal was a purebred or a cross breed, we didn’t discriminate. “We now have no choice but to limit our intake of animals to only the local councils. “We will no longer be able to assist private surrenders or anyone outside of the Riverland community.” The shelter is set to be inspected by the RSPCA again today.

‘Drive off’ offenders found

A 54-year-old Renmark man was reported at Renmark on Sunday for making off without payment after it was alleged that he had obtained fuel from a service station in Loxton on Saturday and then driven off. In a separate incident a 20-year-old Northern Territory man was arrested on Sunday at Renmark for making off without payment after allegedly obtaining fuel from a service station in Loxton on Sunday and driving off. Both will appear in a court at a later date.

Youth reported for trespassing

A 14-year-old Renmark boy was reported for trespassing after Riverland police were called to attend the Renmark primary school at about 10.50pm on Friday. It is alleged the youth had been on the school grounds, and then become abusive when spoken to by another resident.

Bev Story

Simply too lazy Some people are simply too lazy for words - too lazy to walk a few metres to put their rubbish in a bin. It’s a problem that transcends council and State boundaries, but it is annoying nonetheless. Unfortunately it seems to be the most prevelent on long weekends and school holidays and in the most popular areas. The result of that of course is that visitors to our area see the Riverland at its most untidy. Of course some would argue that it’s the visitors that are responsible but I believe that locals are just as likely to be the culprits. I don’t mean to imply that the Riverland is messy - for the most part the region has an advantage when compared with others in this low rainfall State. Riverland towns tend to have large expanses of lawn, clusters of roses, bogenvilleas and other plants to brighten up the area - thanks to the proxim-

ity of the River Murray. However, I couldn’t help but notice various types of rubbish along the shores of Lake Bonney on the weekend. The weather was hot, it was a long weekend, and there were masses of people enjoying the lake and the lawns along the shores. Despite the presence of rubbish bins dotted every 30m 50m along the roadway, some people are simply too lazy to walk from the middle of the lawn, or the shoreline, to dispose of their rubbish. Thankfully the majority of people do the right thing. Yet, after one swim alone I picked up a drink cup and lid, goggles strap, plastic tape, used serviette and swam out to retrieve a bread bag (presumably once used for burley). Others also report picking up rubbish regularly while walking their dogs and it is just as well some take pride in their town. Do you?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Have your say about the issues that affect you.

Riverland tourism cannot be divided The Riverland’s tourism industry is thankful for the region’s local governments’ review of tourism and subsequent establishment of Destination Riverland during 2011. The process I believed to be seamless. Councils contracted Norm White of Advance Tourism to review the tourism industry. This led to the open meeting with Mr White presenting his findings. They subsequently called an open meeting of local tourist businesses which unanimously voted for their plan to establish a new peak entity. Councils sponsored and joined the interim committee, developed a constitution and proceeded to incorporate Destination Riverland (DR). There were no formal steps taken to decommission the RTA because it was understood that that would happen in due course. We who ignored the RTA meeting last February calling for its closure are responsible for still having two parallel constituted committees representing and marketing the one industry. It is an unsustainable position leading to confusion and division. Riverland Tourism cannot afford to be divided, act as though divided or most importantly seen to be divided. The reasoning behind the establishment of Destination Riverland was clear. The RTA was ineffectual under State Government Ministerial control, shackled to his/her discretion within a government with a diminishing interest in regional tourism. Norm White found that under State governance the Riverland suffered a 30 percent loss of visitor numbers between the years 2000 and 2010. The industry recognised this and voted unanimously to establish Destination Riverland to cause effective change. To saddle Destination Riverland with the distractions of the old entity is absolutely wrong. Saddling the old entity to continue to fulfil its constitutional charter

in this climate is absolutely wrong. We the industry are responsible for these wrongs. It is nonsense to have two parallel organisations. Destination Riverland has attracted significantly increased contributions from local government which sponsored them and also a contribution from the reduced SATC budget. That is the wider industry recognising Destination Riverland as the peak body. Left in a wilderness of disinterest, the old body has tried desperately to have effect. It has lost traction; all of its established funding sources have disappeared as the wider industry recognises Destination Riverland. It is difficult to ignore the human angle. Rumour, innuendo and tension will abound in this climate. Statements are made, misunderstood, actions are taken, misunderstood and rejected all contributing to division and tension. Externally we must be seen as an undisciplined rabble. Two groups from the same industry (having matching constitutions) have both applied for significant funds for the same purpose at the same time. Little wonder that both were unsuccessful. Riverland Tourism unanimously voted for the change that created Destination Riverland, we must complete the job and close RTA now, if not division and tension will increase, taking a heavy and irreversible toll on tourism’s re-emergence. I urge all RTA members to attend next Wednesday’s meeting and vote for a stable, united and uncomplicated Riverland Tourism Industry. Dean Grosse, Havenhand Chocolates

New waste service fails Good Hope Landing The new waste collection scheme instituted by the Loxton-Waikerie District Council has thus far failed the residents of Good Hope Landing on two separate occasions.

I have no quarrel with the introduction of the scheme as I am a keen recycler but, if I am paying for a service, I expect to receive it. Remarkably, the account for the waste management found us all, even though the rubbish trucks apparently can’t. The council has already levied us for this scheme whether we use it or not, and, so far, it has proved to be inferior to the reliable, free scheme that operated here previously. I acknowledge that there are bound to be teething problems with new services, but we have had to report that our bins have not been emptied on the specified day twice since the scheme’s inception on February 4 this year. Our collection day is Friday so by the time we realise that our pick-up has not happened, it’s Friday evening and naturally the contractors have finished for the day. This can mean that our refuse is not collected until the following week, which is more than a minor inconvenience for some residents who have to leave their bins for pickup over a kilometre from their house. Why air this in a public forum rather than contact the council? Now – there’s the real sticking point. When residents have contacted the council to report that our bins have not been emptied, we have been referred to the contractor. Sorry, that is not good enough. We pay the council for this service and not the contractor. If I pay the council, I expect the council to follow up my complaint. If I contact the contractor direct, how can the council be aware that there are problems that need to be addressed? I’m pretty sure that the contractor is unlikely to mention complaints received when it is time for contract renewal negotiations. If the council insists that I deal directly with the contractor, then I deem it fair that council will refund my money and I will, in turn, pay the contractor directly, according to the level of service that I receive.

Thieves target Renmark cars Police are reminding the community to secure their vehicles and remove valuable items following recent thefts from vehicles in the Renmark area between Wednesday, February 27 and March 6. At about 2pm on February 27 a blue coloured Kia K2900 truck parked in the Renmark Plaza car park was broken into and a Black & Decker drill and a small amount of cash was stolen.

During the weekend, between Saturday, March 2 and Sunday, March 3, four vehicles parked in driveways in Sixteenth Street, one car parked in the street on Tolarano Street, and a further car parked in a driveway on Murray Price Drive, have had items stolen from the vehicles and some damage caused to door locks. Some of the items stolen include cash, a pocket

knife, two torches, a wallet and personal papers. Between Sunday, March 3 and Monday, March 4 a small amount of money was taken from two cars that were parked in Patey Drive, Renmark. Overnight on Tuesday, March 5 and morning of Wednesday, March 6 a number of vehicles parked in the Jane Eliza area were entered and property including cash, a GPS, a

tool kit, an electronic book, phone charger and a wallet were stolen. Murray Mallee Local Service Area operations Inspector Kylie Walsh said it was “disturbing that some people in our community choose to steal items that do not belong to them”. However she urged owners to help prevent such offences by removing valuables from unattended vehicles and making sure cars were

locked and windows are secure. “We also ask anyone from the community who witnesses any suspicious behaviour or activity around vehicles or homes to contact police immediately, “ Inspector Walsh said. Police request that if anyone has been a victim of such a crime to avoid touching the vehicle until police have attended to obtain forensic evidence.

No excuse for litter

LOCAL residents have expressed their disgust at rubbish left laying on the shore and nearby lawns of Lake Bonney on the weekend. Some have called for large signs and hefty litter fines to deter would be litterers. Many regulars to the area simply choose to collect rubbish left laying around and place it in the multitude of bins. Others didn’t see much litter laying about in the areas they frequented. Dwayne Hooper, of Berri, visits the lake about once a week and said the amount of litter varied. On one trip to Barmera they needed to clean the are on and around the barbecue at the end of the jetty before they could use it, but conceded that was probably the most used area. Mike Rumball, of Bamera, didn’t see any litter in the area he was at but agreed “it is just lazy” to not dispose of rubbish in the bins provided. Hayley Bridgland said people needed to clean up after themselves.

Pinnaroo THE Nickolls family descended on Pinnaroo on the weekend for a reunion to celebrate 100 years since the wedding of Sarah and George Nickolls. About 130 descendants came from Victor Harbor, Kerang, Adelaide, Melbourne, Mid North, Jindabyne, strathalbyn, Adelaide, Loxton and the Mallee. It was held at Bulloak Well, Pinnaroo, where George and Sarah came to live in the 1920s. Decendants have farmed and lived there ever since, with Wade and Danielle Nickolls the fourth generation and their three children the fifth generation to live and farm on the property. A plaque was unveiled to commemorate the occasion by the two oldest grandchildren of Sarah and George Nickolls. Although it was a hot day everyone picnicked under the trees or swam in the pool. The wedding anniversary cake was topped by the original 100 year cake top, having been looked after by the granddaughters.

Refund scams

There are a number of refund scam emails currently circulating. These emails claim to come from the ATO and offer a tax refund. Generally, they link to a bogus ATO website asking for personal and credit card details. These emails can differ in their appearance and level of sophistication but will generally state that you are eligible for a refund and instruct you to click on a link to submit a form to receive it. The ATO will never email you asking for personal or credit card details and you should never provide this information. One version of this scam contains an attachment infected with a virus. This email purports to be from the ATO and asks for the recipient to complete the attached form to receive a tax refund. There is zip file attached to the message that contains a malicious program. If you receive an email like this, do not open the attachment. Under no circumstances should you give personal information including credit card or banking details. Anyone who has received a suspicious phone call or email should contact the tax office immediately. Key indicators of this scam include: asks for credit card and PIN numbers; it is poorly worded with spelling and grammatical mistakes (though this is not always the case); includes an attachment (form) or link to a webpage to lodge a form; or comes from an email address which is not a valid ATO email address.

The Australian Taxation Office is reminding people to be aware of scam emails currently circulating that claim to be from the ATO. These emails request the recipient to download an attachment that contains malware or to click on a link to an external website that is used to steal their personal details. People should delete these emails immediately. In 2012, the ATO received just over 26,000 reports from the public on a wide range of scams including fake job advertisements, emails and bogus phone calls. A range of tricks are used to make scams appear authentic. For example: sending emails with attachments that appear to have come from the ATO, which when downloaded infect your computer with malicious software, including a legitimatesounding message at the start of a call, such as the call is being recorded ‘for training purposes’. Once scammers have your personal information they can steal your identity and commit fraud against you, with potentially serious consequences. They can lodge false tax returns in your name, transact using your credit card information or take out a loan in your name. Anyone can be the victim of a scam. If a correspondence seems suspicious, too good to be true, asks you for personal details or cannot be verified through an official source, it is likely to be a scam and should be reported. If you think you have been the victim of a scam, contact the ATO by calling 1800 060 062 (8am 6pm, Monday to Friday). You can also report suspected email scams to the ATO by forwarding the email to report fraud email. Visit the online security page on the ATO website for more information about how

Berri Barmera LAP & Riverland West landcare Update

From your Project Managers

W

elcome to our first update for 2013, though we can’t believe we are already into March. In case you wondered why we went missing last month, we have dropped this update back to quarterly, and its continuation past the end of this financial year will be dependent on funding programs and community needs and expectations. With that in mind, any feedback on this feature, positive and negative, would be most welcome. Speaking of funding, mad-March is upon us with several funding programs have recently been announced. These include the SA MDB NRM Boards Volunteer Small Grants (up to $1000 for community groups in the SA MDB), the SGIC Community Grants, and from the Commonwealth Government, the second round of the Biodiversity Fund and first round of Community Landcare Grants. We are also expecting the Community Environment Grants to be announced soon as well. Both of these latter programs are from Phase 2 of “Caring for our Country”. All of these programs are due to have funding applications submitted in the next couple of weeks, so if you have a project idea that you or your local group has been sitting on, now is the time to get in touch with us if you need support to try and get your project funded. We would love to hear from you, as we are always looking for new projects and ideas. Uncertainty around future funding aside, 2013 is already shaping as another busy year. We have already commenced our first round of community wetland monitoring, a number of wetland projects are in the process of being finalised as sites become accessible again, local schools are as involved as ever and there is just a glimmer of hope that the rain in the last week may have broken our latest local dry spell which goes back to May last year.

used to guide future activities and seek funding. Berri Barmera LAP is working with this committee to further develop and implement plans to design and install sections of board walk along the walking trail, and remove some existing infrastructure which is blocking water flow through the wetland complex. The long-term objective is to have a walking trail which can be accessed in flood events up to flows of 50,000ML per day. For more information, contact Paul on 8582 2183 or Cr Michelle Campbell on 0409 673 882

Wetland works nearing completion at Overland Corner

THE Berri Barmera LAP Committee has almost completed its latest projects at Overland Corner. Aluminium stop logs in the main regulator have been replaced with sluice gates. We were finding that when water was being pumped into the wetland during the drought, the stop logs were leaking a little too much water through the structure for our liking. The solid sluice gates should solve this problem. More excitingly, our permanent flood pump for the wetland has now been installed on-site, and we are just waiting for an electrician to wire it to the mains power supply before giving it a longawaited test run. This pump is the accumulation of many years work by the local community and BBLAP committee. This will enable us to inundate the Overland Corner wetland during extended periods of entitlement flows, thus maintaining a freshwater lens (layer of freshwater sitting on top of the underlaying salty groundwater which is critical to the survival of long-lived vegetation such as red-gums). Previous pumping events at this wetland have been required to be undertaken when adjoining irrigation infrastructure was not in use, restricting filling the wetland to less than optimal times. This new pump will enable us to fill the wetland when it will receive maximum benefit, including facilitating frog and bird breeding, seed germination etc. For more information, please contact Paul on 8582 2183.

Working with the community to support the local environment

Lowbank Ag’s low soil disturbance project comes to an end Funding received through the Caring for our Country program has seen the Lowbank and Districts Ag Bureau undertake a first-of-its-kind seeding trial in a collaborative project between Riverland West Landcare and the SA Murray Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board (NRM Board). The aim of the trial was to show which method (disc or tine) would reduce soil disturbance and improve soil biology without compromising crops through poor germination. The trial site was officially sown on May 9, 2012 with nine different seeders, side by side, in one paddock, to assess whether the disc system performed as well as or better than the tine based system.

Each farmer was able to set up their machines how they liked; the only requirements were that they all had to plant the same variety of wheat at a rate of 50 kg/hectare and use the same amount of fertiliser. As with most trials, there have been some barriers to success. Essentially, the dry start to the 2012 cropping season meant that the trial site had to be sown in relatively dry soil which was not necessarily the best basis for undertaking a comparative disc seeder/tine seeder trial. On November 19, 2012 the crop was ready to be harvested and Tim Paschke had the task of bringing the whole paddock in. Warren May, project manager states “the end result of the yields was that the knife

machines were able to penetrate the moisture even though we thought there wasn’t enough moisture there to get germination”. On completion of the trial, evidence collected shows that on the whole, the tined machines were more expensive to run, used more fuel, and they didn’t sow as quickly. However, even taking this into consideration together with the protein and yield, and the price of wheat on the day, the tines represented a surprising advantage over the discs by returning an additional $61/hectare. Landline were on site for both the seeding and harvesting of this trial site so for more details or to see the seeders in action, go to http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2013/s3687110.htm

Update from the SA Regent Parrot recovery team Since the beginning of August 2012, advertisements have appeared on local television stations requesting people to report sightings of Regent Parrots. The combination of these TV advertisements, the ‘1800Parrot’ hotline and newspaper articles have greatly raised the profile of the Regent Parrot in the Riverland region. The 15 second long ads that have been shown have had a significant impact on the number of sightings of Regent Parrots being

reported. A big thank you should be extended to those members of the community who phoned in their sightings. The after-hour calls have exceeded the 200 mark and office hour reports have also been excellent. Many of the sightings have been followed up with site visits and/or return telephone calls which have had the added benefit of supplying more people with additional information regarding the birds. The site visits have been quite successful in providing information on food, movement and behaviour of the birds at different times in the breeding season. This information has also been vital in enabling the recovery team to capture many Regent Parrots for research purposes including banding and radio tracking. To date, three Regent Parrots have had radio tracking devices attached to them using a harness that had been trialled by a person studying Regent Parrots in Victoria. Unfortunately these only remained attached to the birds for less than three weeks but some data was obtained by tracking the birds even for this short time. The team is now investigating other ways

YET kids for cleaning

of attaching the radio transmitters to the birds that will remain on them for much longer. Prior to Christmas, 26 birds were trapped and banded and 23 of these were inspected by veterinarians from the Adelaide Zoo. The health of the birds was checked and blood samples taken to check further for the presence of disease and for DNA testing. Three of the birds were found to have foot lesions which were removed under anaesthetics and are being tested to determine what causes this problem. The birds previously captured in Victoria had a much higher prevalence of these nasty looking growths. After experiencing a great deal of frustration in attempting to set up motion activated cameras on nest hollows, a new approach has been adopted and trials in the field by Darren Schmitke (with assistance from his parents) have proven to be very successful.

The Waikerie Primary School Youth Environment Team (YET) recently did their part to help with Clean Up Australia Day. Although we were a few days late and the temperatures were in the high 30s, the YET were keen to get their hands dirty and clean up around Hart Lagoon.

Three of the four hollows that the nest cameras were placed on were used by Regent Parrots. The Regent Parrots that attempted to use the fourth hollow were “discouraged “ to do so by a pair of Yellow Rosellas who decided they would like that hollow. The footage from the nest cameras has now been transferred to discs for distribution to volunteers who will view the film and record any action at the nest hollow on a data sheet that has been designed to make recording simple. Some interesting information about Regent Parrot behaviour has already emerged from the footage that volunteer “film watcher” Raelene Schmitke has viewed. There is a great deal more footage to watch so if you are looking for something to do indoors, please let us know. We will arrange to install the programme on your computer (needed to view the film) and provide you with some discs. If you can spare time to assist with the viewing nest site camera footage, please register your interest by telephoning DEWNR (8595 2111) during office hours.

Our community wetland monitoring program is already underway for 2013. New volunteers are always welcome to come and spend a few hours with us recording the health of our wetlands. March dates are as follows.

PINNAROO SPUDFEST

Ready, steady, mashed potato Ready, steady, mash - the potato cooking competition will return to Pinnaroo on Saturday, March 23 when the town hosts its Spudfest. Spudfest chairperson Ann Venning said, a new attraction this year would be three shows by Extreme Trials, sponsored by Bridgeland. “That is a motorbike that climbs over cars and trucks,” Ann said. Another one of the highlights come Saturday, March 23 will be the flights of hot air balloons. Among the other things to watch will be chainsaw carving by Melbourne artist Robbie Blast, whom Ann described as “brilliant”. The children can enjoy not one but two jumping castles at no cost throughout the whole day. There will also be train rides and the golf club has put together a putt putt course “and that is amazing”. Spudfest will also host its first Show and Shine competition, with classes for standard and modified vehicles, to be judged at 2pm. Ann said people “can rock up” and enjoy free entry for the chance to win trophies. All of the entertainment on Saturday is free to enjoy, and there will be plenty of food stalls from which people can buy a variety of mouth watering treats. Popular favourites with the crowd are likely to be the professional wrestlers from Adelaide -

High Risk Pro Wrestling. See them taking part in serious matches as well as in the mashed potato wrestling. There may also be the option for locals to get involved in wrestling of the mashed potato variety. “Massive barbecues set up in the main street will be used for the potato cooking competition”, Ann said. Of course, people may feel like eating potatoes of the non-mashed variety, and the netball club will cater for them with baked potatoes. On the Spudfest menu for Saturday is also pizza, yiros, barbecue, strawberries, Steines mettwurst, with some wine tasting to go along with it. Six bands will keep people entered on Saturday from 4.30pm until 1am. Ann said, chef Matt Golinski will return to make his first public appearance after the fire which tragically killed his wife and children before Christmas a year ago. He will be at the black tie dinner on Friday, March 22, however the event’s 150 seats are already sold out. In 2012 the dinner only was held to assist Matt. “He is coming back to say thanks to all those people that helped to raise $27,000. “This is Matt’s first appearance and he has chosen the Mallee.”

DooWop with The Delltones

n The Delltones: Ian “Peewee” Wilson (centre front) is one of the orginal Delltones, with his voice an extraordinary voice, and will be joined by Merv Dick, Woody Finlayson and Owen Booth.

THE DELLTONES are a band that makes you feel good long after the show’s over. Original member Peewee Wilson is the only one of the original four guys that started out more than 50 years - but the songs and harmonies remain the same. The Delltones are still entertaining crowds across Australia and will return to Chaffey Theatre on Wednesday, April 17. Enjoy the unique voice of

Peewee Wilson and the songs of yesteryear - as much loved today as they were when they were released. The rich harmonies of the Delltones will captivate audiences blending their own hits You’re The Limit, Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands, Come A Little Bit Closer, Hangin’Five with classic doowop and pop songs Get a Job, Papa Oom Mow Mow and Mr Bassman. I have been fortunate enough to see The Delltones

previously and know that they are quality musicians and entertainers. People from young to old will enjoy their live show, which is a celebration of rock ‘n’ roll from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Even if like me you weren’t around when the Delltones made their first appearance at the Bronte Surf Club in 1958 - you will find the music as catchy, familiar and uplifting as their audiences found it then.

Josh wins crucial drag From back page In the first round Josh beat David Thornton of Mildura by 0.021 of a second. Then he was up against Whyalla`s Utting, in a round that would decide the series’ winner. An ecstatic Josh won the crucial clash by 0.036 of a second, which made his win in the final against Alex Vanleuven, who was racing on his home track, by 0.590 of a second something of a celebration. Josh said when he won the title previously in 2010/2011 he was a lot further in front going into the last meeting of the race. He has been keen on drag racing since childhood. “Dad’s been doing it since the early ‘90s,” Josh said. “He won the Australian National in Melbourne in 1997, then he sold the car.”

n SECOND TITLE: Josh Voigt displays the trophies he won on the weekend when he clinched the Max Cranes Tri Series in his drag car Green Envy.

However, as the children grew up, Roger decided to get another drag car. Eldest son Matthew drove it initially for two years, and Josh is proud to have claimed the Tri Series title a second time - gaining two up on his brother. “He never liked it that I had got one, and now I’ve got two,” Josh ribbed this week. He expects this to be his last season in the car and will probably support either is brother, in a different car, or his sister after that in Green Envy. Josh is a third year fitter and turning apprentice for SA Water. A number of Riverland drivers and their supporters will now appear at Mildura on Easter Saturday at a meeting that will feature the Nostalgic Nitro Cars. Gates open at 8.30am with racing from 1pm.

United reunion at Mantung

n UNITED REUNION: Gub Carnell, Jeff Evans, Hils Carnell, Leon Stasinowsky unveiling the United Football Club plaque at the Mantung Oval on Sunday.

n NETBALLERS: Frieda McConnell and Ath Carnell unveiling the netball plaque at the oval. Of course it was called basketball when they played.

n MANTUNG REUNION: Keryn Carnell, BJ Carnell, Hils Carnell, Leon Stasinowsky, Brian Eustice at the Mantung Hall for the reunion on Sunday, n ORIGINAL GUERNSEY: Dennis Stasinowsky modelling his original United Football Club guernsey, watched by Val Tomlinson.

n CATCH UP: Malcolm Carnell and Peter Evans.

n CHATTING: Daryl Northcott, Harry Martin and Colin Farr.

n FAMILY: Grant, Wendy and Neil Carnell

IF YOU are tired of the hot sun turning your once thriving grassed area into a haven for prickles worry no more. Waikerie based No Mow has the solution. Installing synthetic turf options, No Mow can give the front or backyard guaranteed greeness, rain, hail or shine. Not only does the grass have easy upkeep but it looks like the real thing. The business is the only South Australian distributors of this type of Australian-made turf. No Mow has a range of household turf products and can supply other surfaces throughout the Riverland and Mallee. No Mow’s John Sullivan said the synthetic grass products always looked great, were cost effective and were child and pet friendly. For those unsure of what size of synthetic lawn they want to install or how much it will cost, a free measure and quote, plus advice on lawn design, is also on offer. John said the turf would pay for itself in three

years when one took into consideration the cost of water, fuel for mowing and much more. With No Mow’s turf one get up to eight years UV warranty and a life expectancy of 20 years. John prides himself on the finished product from converting a weed covered, or dust bowl area, to lush looking, neatly trimmed, green turf. “Everyone who has had it laid is very happy with the decision,” he said. As well as domestic installation, synthetic grass is also being more regularly used in com-

mercial applications, whether there is a problem using natural grass due to heavy traffic areas, water restraints, access, turf regeneration because of shade, or the cost of maintenance. No Mow can also install paving and do various other handyman jobs. No Mow travels across South Australia and interstate to provide customers with no stress lawn. It will also sell it with instructions for self installation. Phone 0412 839 775, email msu09470@ bigpond.net.au or visit www.nomow.com.au

Plaudits for annual veterans’ carnival By Graham Charlton Premium ongoing sporting events conducted in our region are regularly mentioned in columns such as this - many for their continuing success, others because they are sadly no longer being held for various reasons, including a lack of people being available to organise them. But no such problems with the annual Berri Tennis Seniors SA Teams Carnival that ticks all of the boxes and will be held from May 18 to 20 May - this year for the 26th time. The popularity of the event has grown dramatically since its early days. It now attracts more than 500 players in nearly 100 teams from places including Adelaide and country South Australia as well as from Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, ACT and even New Zealand. This is a doubles’ tournament for players 35 years and older and mainly involves the tennis complex at Berri View but also incorporates courts at the Barmera, Loxton and Renmark clubs to cater for the large number of matches involved. It is known for people just wanting to return to the Riverland to meet up with old friends and enjoy some tennis that varies from straight out fun to some now traditional friendly rivalries. A real feature of this tournament is the social activities off the court, including the annual Saturday night function that this year will be at a new venue, Ruston`s Rose Garden Function Centre at Renmark. The Berri Carnival is an official event of the Tennis Seniors Association of SA that was established in 1972 and throughout the years has had magnificent support from a group of dedicated enthusiasts here in the Riv-

n CITY CATS: The City Cats team from 1992 (from left) David Fielden, Lew Ward, Brian Dew and Jim Ryan were seeking revenge, and got it, after the River Rats had their first win in 1991. In all, 23 players from the first teams carnival were still playing in 2012. When the carnival first started it was for over 40s but now includes over 35s as well. erland, who handle the bulk of the arrangements. Kay Tanner is one of those and in a group of up to 20 people, has played in every one of the tournaments so far. She recalls some players who have taken part in the event while well into their eighties and also some of the pretty intense rivalries that have existed between teams such as the local River Rats

and the Adelaide Cats. The city visitors got right into the occasion with such antics as hanging a ‘City Cats Exterminate River Rats’ sign on the net and varying their uniforms right up to women`s gear and having a rat in a trap and Rat Sak signs displayed on them. But they met their match with such competitive opponents as Mike Schultz, Mike Horsman

and Bill Curren in the River Rats’ side. Surely in this day and age an event such as this increasing in 1988 from 20 teams and 100 players to the numbers of today borders on the miraculous. But then as I said when it comes to the organisation, the spirit of the occasion and the wonderful facilities it ticks all the boxes.

Bowlers compete in extreme city heat A number of Riverland bowlers did not escape the extreme heat when they played in a variety of tournaments in Adelaide on the Adelaide Cup long weekend. A feature to emerge from the events was the first ever victory of the Country girls and boys teams 138-132 overall in the annual under 18 match against Metropolitan on Saturday. Loxton’s young club women’s champion Tamzin Jenke was a member of the Country side and during the morning session of the contest had a impressive singles win against Metro’s Bailey Rafferty 25-20. Country did trail significantly 78/55 at the break but, despite Tamzin going down 22-15 as skipper of a triples rink, stormed home to win the match. Decided in conjunction with the under 18 event, Country also played Metro in the annual Kennedy Shield women’s match and Schroeter Shield for men. sMetro won the contests 145-101 and 143-105 respectively.

In the women’s match Country only trailed 67-63 after the morning’s play, including a good win by a four skippered by Berri’s Kerry Treloar, but after that the City side broke clear. Another Berri player Andrew Hill also skippered a rink to a 16 all draw against Metro’s Scott Thulborn team in the Schroeter match. Also decided on the weekend were the 2013 women’s and men’s Prestige Medley competitions, involving eight country and four city zones. In the women’s competition on Thursday and Friday Metro West ended Metro East’s reign with a 49-45 victory in the final. Our zone North Eastern scored only one victory in five matches but it was against recent Country Round Robin tournament winner Yorke Peninsula 49-45. The most successful North East rink with three victories was skippered by Lyrup’s Sue Lloyd.

In the men’s event on Sunday and Monday North Eastern won two of its five matches but significantly it was the only team to beat the otherwise undefeated Metro North dishing out a belting three rinks to nil, 58-28. Berri veteran Dennis Treloar skippered the most successful rink during the two days with three victories. An indication of how many country bowlers go on to play in the city and at even higher levels was the number of former regional players turning out in city zone line-ups. A ‘Zone of Origin’ contest may well tell a story? Meanwhile another from the Jenke family, Gerrin, also made an appearance on the weekend in an under 15 Country versus Metropolitan exhibition match at Payneham. Again Country won convincingly 76-48 with Gerrin playing at number three in a winning fours rink 22-19 and then skippering the triples to a win 16-11.

Pearson wins on count-back

atti on 39 points. Then last Saturday Ian ‘Doc’ Gillespie with 42 points and a birdie at the seventeenth won ahead of Rick Wurth,39, and Brian Finn and Steve Brown on 38.. Completing a long weekend of competitions, John Dawes won a stroke event on Sunday with a net 65 ahead of Mick Cenko 66 and Jordan Wright 67. On Monday it was back to a stableford with Neville McPherson winning with 42 points on a count-back from Keenan Wilksch followed by Cenko,40, Gavan Kelly, and Wright, 36.

final on Sunday, March 10 after getting Renmark all out for 59 runs. The home side’s Locky Hentschke made 23 not out, assisted by Josh Pontt, who made 10. Renmark bowler Zac Gallo took three wickets for the loss of 10 runs, assisted by Rolly Boon with two for 19 and Brandon Willis one for six. That best of Renmark’s batsmen were Adam Jackson, with 14, and David Greer, with 13. Renmark bowler Brodi Romeo took three wickets for the loss of just five runs; Will Lehman two for 10 and L Hentschke one for eight. The match was played at Loxton Oval.

In a series of stableford events at the Waikerie Golf Club in the last week or so Jan Pearson won on a count-back from Katrina Webber after both finished on 37 points and Craig Davis included a nearest to pin in taking out the next competition. Then last Saturday 44 points gave Mark Tink a win from Malcolm Chidlow, 42, in division one and in division two David White won with 48 points with Katrina Webber runner-up with 40.

Cobdogla softballers storm home in final

First weight lifting competition to be held this Saturday

EIGHT new lifters joining the Drug Free Powerlifting SA Association has probably resulted in an increase to 16 competitors who have entered the first event of the season, the Bennett/Graham Memorial and Novice Qualifier. The competition will be held this Saturday, March 16 at the association’s Riverland headquarters, Vitality Health Club, Berri, starting at noon. Entry for spectators, including anyone perhaps interested in taking up the sport, is free. Contact association president Don Juers, 8583 0196, for further information. A presentation dinner at the Cobdogla and District Club will follow Saturday’s event. Further into the 2013 season Powerlifting SA will host the National Three Lift Championships at the Renmark Hotel on July 13, with considerable interest already being shown in the tournament by lifters from other states.

THE REMARKABLE Cobdogla Softball Club has done it again - storming home and defying the odds to defeat hot favourite and defending champion Loxton seven-two. The division one game really was worthy of a grand final at Glassey Park last Saturday. After appearing the third-ranked side in a tight competition behind Loxton and Berri, Cobdogla certainly saved its best for the business end when it toppled the top two sides in the two most crucial games of the season. In the end Cobdogla simply out-thought Loxton in the batting department of the seven-inning grand final. It was a tied game for five innings before the outstanding performance of pitcher Jo Gregory and short stop Bronwyn Smith eventually told and Cobdogla broke the dead lock. Gregory certainly used her experience in getting in the best players for a second consecutive week of finals. Premierships went to Loxton with Jessica Voigt best on ground, against Lyrup 16-4 in B grade. A runaway Renmark, with catcher Leanne Le best on ground, defeated Berri in C grade 12-2.

Catch the Carp Frenzy

A new fishing competition, the SA Barmera Carp Frenzy, will be introduced to the Riverland on Saturday, May 4 at Lake Bonney, from 6.30am to 3pm. Frenzy as far as carp in the lake is concerned seems an appropriate choice of words when one recalls the scene when thousands of the fish put on a real show at Napper’s Bridge at the time that water from the river was thankfully reintroduced into the area. The competition will aid the Save Lake Bonney Group and already boasts some valuable prizes including $1000 in cash, motel and caravan park packages, a fishing charter and an early registration prize. Entry forms are available from Top Catch at the United Service Station in Barmera or online at Facebook – SA Carp Frenzy. Also registrations can be lodged on the day between 6.30am and 10am near the Lake Bonney Yacht Club with all entrants being issued with wrist band identification. Entry fees are $15 adult and $5 under 16. Presentations will follow the competition at the Barmera Monash Football Club.

Former international player to speak at cricket dinner

FORMER women’s international player Shelley Nitschke will be the guest speaker at the Riverland Turf Cricket Association’s annual presentation dinner at the Waikerie Club on Monday, March 18. Meals start at 6.30pm at a cost of $20 with presentations from 7.30pm. Contact association secretary Denae Paschke for further details 0429412781. From the Sturt District Cricket Club, Nitschke started her career as a specialist left-handed batter but developed her left arm orthodox spin bowling to such an extent that she played for Australia as an allrounder in test, one day, international and twenty/20 matches. In four tests she scored 233 runs at an average of 46.6, including 81 and 88 in her first two appearances on a tour of England, and captured 10 wickets at 21.8. On that same tour she took career best bowling figures of 7 for 24 in an ODI. Nitschke was named the Australian Women’s Cricketer of the Year in both 2009 and 2010. Meanwhile Riverland A and B grade finals start this weekend. 6 Ramco grabbed second 7 position 8 Waikerie last Saturday with an exciting four-run victory against its rival for a place in the major round Renmark, and it will now host Berri in the qualifying final this Saturday and Sunday.

LOXTON will be involved in both the men’s and women’s division one basketball preliminary finals tonight at Glossop. After it lost 4 to minor premier Renmark 5 in last week’s second semi-final 54-41 it will run into a surging Barmera in the men’s competition. Barmera had Danny Millard with 18 points and Kenny Wright, 12, lead it to a 4430 victory against Berri in the knockout first semi-final. However, Barmera but will be anxious to have its most prolific scorer, Dillon Millard back at full throttle, after he apparently spe,nt 14 a lot of time on the bench against Berri with a back problem. Loxton will have Brogan 18Whitelaw back but will also be anxious to have a number of

other important players return into its lineup for this do or die outing. So far this season in meetings between the two teams Loxton leads three wins to two but importantly it was Barmera that headed to the major round with a comfortable 40-28 in the most recent clash. In the women’s game Loxton, after ending Berri’s season in the first semi final, 3429, will tackle Renmark which lost the second semi in a competitive contest, 32-26, to Waikerie. Loxton and Renmark have met four times so far in 2012/13 and after going down by three points on the first occasion Renmark has won the last three by 12, 7 and 11 points. Basketball competitions reach a climax this weekend with grand finals in the senior divisions on Saturday night and a full day of junior premiership matches on Sunday. All of the games are at the Loxton Lutheran stadium. While on junior basketball the under 14 and under 18 Country Championships were held in Adelaide on the weekend with Riverland winning two titles in under 14 girls - in the division two and four competitions. The under 18 boys also did well but injuries to key players Charlie Rogers and Che Lange were crucial and they were eliminated in the preliminary final.

Hartmann wins two rounds Dave Hartmann took out the first two rounds of the Super Sedans Country series when they were conducted at a doubleheader of speedway action at the Riverland and Waikerie Sunline tracks last weekend. On Saturday night at Calperum Hill, in front of a good crowd, Hartman beat home Paul Blenkiron and Kym Hammerstein. At Sunline on Sunday it was again Hartmann that won from Blenkiron with Nev Hall third. Racing was fast and furious over the two meetings and at Waikerie with the heat winners Blenkiron, Nev Hall and Hammerstein it was the latter that opened up a gap in the field in the feature before a great display by Hartman saw him storm home to win. Junior Sedans also competed on the two nights with Kooper Greig emerging as the outstanding performer in the Twin River Cup. At the Riverland track he was followed in the placings by Jayden Ruhs and Josie Barraclough and he went on to dominate the Waikerie meeting, with only a post race penalty in heat three stopping him from a clean sweep of the heats and feature. Greig set a new record time in the feature where lapped traffic played an important part in the result, with positions changing constantly and again he finished in front of Barraclough and Ruhs. In other classes at the Riverland meeting Chris James was crowned King Of the Riverland after winning the V6 Lightning Sprints, from Michael Buxallen and Jason Wilson. Ben Hall won the Speedcars, with Ben Dillon and Kym Cottrell in the minor placings.

n DOUBLE WINNER: Dave Hartmann wins the first two rounds of the Super Sedans Country Series - at Riverland and Waikerie speedway meetings on the weekend. To wrap up another successful night James Brennan survived the carnage best to take out the Caravan/Boat race from Tim Humby and Barry Schmidt. Lightning Sprints were also on the Sunline program and in the end consistency paid dividends for Jason Wilson, after he won a pole shuffle and ran away to win a tough feature from Jason Gantz and Keith Flint. Gantz certainly looked more than comfortable in this class in winning a heat while the impressive Flint went within a gentle roll over of grabbing all three heats after recently stepping up from For-

mula 500s. A small field of Modified Sedans put in some really hard racing with all four drivers desperate to win and the heats being shared between Tony Schmidt, Marty and Trevor Raams. Plenty of ‘biff’ between Marty and his son spiced the event up somewhat but in the end Dad showed Trevor how it was done, by taking out the 10- lap feature ahead of David Haseldine and Raams junior. Classic Rod and V8 Dirt Modified demonstrations also gave the crowd plenty of entertainment.

To finish the meeting the ever-popular Figure Eight Jump Race saw ten drivers trying to outlast each other. In the end Dion Holland was declared the winner. Sunline`s next meeting is on May 18 and a huge night will include the running of the Super Sedans Wally Francombe Memorial, the Formula 500`s Grant Sealy Memorial plus an AMCA Spectacular, Modified Sedans, Lightning Sprints, Street Stocks and Junior Sedans. Telephone Rob Stevens, 0412 474 289 for further information.

n WINNER: Ben Hall won the Speed Cars at Riverland Speedway on the weekend.

Good sides find a way to win

It is often said that ‘good sides find a way to win’. Berri did it against the odds in the second semi-final against Renmark in men`s pennant bowls recently and left the way open to take out yet another premiership. Have we now got a similar situation existing in division one tennis? Last week we suggested that Waikerie would have to perform the difficult task of taking some sets from the Cobdogla ‘Big Guns’ if it was to have any hope of winning the second semi final at Barmera. Well a couple of Waikerie players did produce major upsets but still Cobdogla gained a ticket to the grand final by taking out four of the six doubles sets and Troy Saville continuing to make the number one singles position his own remaining undefeated in the past three seasons. Cobdogla, a red hot favourite to retain its title, won seven sets 69 games to five sets 56 games, but not without some anxious moments against an opponent that was without its number one male Tom Waterson. The Waikerie players who produced massive upsets that saw their team improve drastically on the 12-0 and 9-3 defeats at the hands of Cobdogla previously in 2012/13 were Steve Braun and Penny Kroehn. Firstly Braun defeated Shane Nettle 9-3. At their only two earlier meetings Nettle had won 9-2 in last year`s grand final and 9-4 in round five this season. In fact Nettle had been previously undefeated in 2012/13 and during the past three season`s his only other losses were two in a row against another Waikerie player Troy Lehmann in 2011/12. It was Kroehn that produced the biggest form reversal however when she defeated Katie Saville 6-3 after going down to the Cobdogla star 6-4, 7-5, 6-2, 6-1 and 7-5 in 2011/12 and 6-2 and 6-2 earlier this season. Katie also like her brother had been undefeated in the past three seasons. Waikerie`s only success against Cobdogla since it re-entered the top competition in 2011/12 was at their first meeting seven sets to five and now it has to regroup to prepare for a preliminary final clash against Renmark Tintra this Saturday at Barmera. Renmark ended Loxton`s season nine sets to three in the first semi-final. Meanwhile Cobdogla will return to its neutral corner to contemplate an upgraded threat to its title. In other divisions Barmera will be represented in two grand finals. In last Saturday`s second semis it defeated an under-strength Cobdogla 11-1 in division two and Moorook 8-4 in division three. This Saturday`s preliminary finals will now see Cobdogla playing Renmark Tintra in division two at Barmera and Moorook up against Waikerie in three at Berri.

Like father, like son By Bev Story and Graham Charlton

n SECOND TITLE: Josh Voigt displays the trophies he won on the weekend when he clinched the Max Cranes Tri Series in his drag car Green Envy.

IT’S a case of like father, like son for Loxton drag racer Josh Voigt. He is following in the footsteps of his father Roger - who won a national title in the sport in his heyday. Drag racing is a family affair according to Josh, who won the Max Cranes Tri Series title for a second time on the weekend. The win puts Josh two up on his older brother Matthew, who drove the car for a couple of years, until it was Josh’s turn, without claiming the title. It’s a family affair, with Josh knowing he probably only has one more year behind the wheel of

the car, before sister Jess will take the spot. Josh was sitting on 200 points and leading the competition by 20 from Paul Utting after the first two rounds at Whyalla and Mildura. At last weekend`s third round at Coonawarra`s South East Drag Racing track, he clinched the series with a hattrick of victories. The lead-up to racing was hardly ideal as rain delayed the start, then problems with the timing equipment caused a further hold up. That four hours lost meant the drivers only had time for one qualifying round before they were straight into eliminations. n Continued page 21
