All smiles for the Collins’ as the Hawks descend on the region By LES PEARSON and JANE WILSON AT least one Riverland family is extremely excited as this weekend’s AFL NAB Cup game nears. The Collins family from Loxton are a four-pronged Hawthorn-mad family, Ben Collins being the father and leader of the support charge grateful for the opportunity to see the reigning premiers, live. “To have the premiership team coming to Berri is a bonus because we missed going to the grand final last year,� he said. “Even though we are members, we had to go into a ballot to get tickets and missed out by one.� They have taken steps to ensure that doesn’t happen again. “We’ve upped our membership so we don’t miss out on the grandfinal this year,� Ben said. “I’m a life supporter. I first saw them play in 1975 at Norwood Oval against Glenelg. “The Hawks beat Glenelg, who I barracked for at the time, so I thought they must be a pretty good team. “We hope that this era is one that lasts for a while.� That being said, the adage about counting chickens may apply in this case. Fingers crossed for Ben. ■A MINORITY GROUP: The Collins family (from left) Georgina Collins, family friend Ned West, Ben, Robyn and Annabel Collins, will be rather conspicious among the throngs of Crows supporters at Saturday’s game.

SOUND COUNSEL Counselling session to help lift the strain of drought

By BRAD PERRY

RIVERLANDERS have been urged to attend a counselling session being held in Berri today if they are feeling the impact of the drought. While the drought cannot be linked to last Friday’s fatal shooting in Barmera, the incident in which two people died, has provided a timely remind-

er that many people need help during these trying times. Relationships Australia regional outreach worker Don Scordo said people in the Riverland have endured plenty of hardship and while it is understandable to be stressed, it is impor-

tant to release tension in appropriate ways. “Farmers and blockies let things build up without talking about it,� he said. “They need to know that there are people like us to talk to. “Being an ex-blockie, I’ve been through the simi-

lar situations and I can understand where they are coming from.� Mr Scordo said a small change in someone’s life can make a big difference and he encourages people to attend counselling sessions. “It is a bit of an education, just for people to listen,� he said.

Changes bring more money for exiting growers gators wishing to exit the industry to trade their water. “This is an important element in enabling access to the small block irrigator’s exit grant packages, available until June 30.� “It will also allow for the expansion of provision of water to areas previously outside of irrigation district boundaries, which will be a major change in how irrigators can manage their business.� The new bills – the Irrigation

By LES PEARSON SOUTH Australia has again taken proactive steps to meet the national water reform agenda with River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald bringing in new irrigation laws at parliament on Tuesday. “There are two bills, which will introduce new legislation for the management of irrigation trusts,� she said. “These changes will enable irri-

Bill 2009 and the Renmark Irrigation Trust Bill 2009 - will replace the Irrigation Act 1994 and the Renmark Irrigation Trust Act 1936. While both bills are relatively the same, Mrs Maywald said given the history attached to the Renmark Irrigation Trust Bill, that trust will continue to have its own bill to continue that line of heritage. “There was strong support from the community to retain that,� she said.

“They were the first irrigation trust in South Australia, so they hold license number one.� “The new Renmark Irrigation Trust Bill 2009 will change the composition of the trust to include a board of directors and all current ratepayers, about 700 people, will comprise the trust.� “The same principles will be applied across all trusts.� The new legislation will enable irrigators to better manage their

business and increases management controls held by irrigation trusts. Minister Maywald said Riverland locals’ feedback helped develop the new bills. “The Riverland community has been calling for changes to South Australia’s irrigation Acts and these new bills are the result of extensive community consultation,� she said.

A visionary use of wastewater finally comes to fruition at Waikerie

Course’s green solution above par By BRAD PERRY TWO years ago the Waikerie Golf Club came close to shutting its doors and now with its newly constructed wastewater management system, it is looking towards the future and beyond. Club president Marty Burnell said the course was in tatters in 2007 when the president and management both exited the club, struggling to run a golfer’s haven without the water to support the greens. The answer came from an idea, which had first been lobbied almost seven years ago, of a treated effluent system, which would support the demanding grass tops. Mr Burnell said the Waikerie Community Wastewater Management System will help water the golf course and sustain the future for the club. “The whole project is obviously utilising the waste water of the town,� he said. “Watering fairways with the water is going to be a benefit to both the town and the golf club. “With what we’ve got now, to be able to go into the future with a golf course like this, it is going to be state of the art.� The wastewater management system means the golf

course can use treated effluent water instead of drawing water from the River Murray. Reclaimed water contains nutrients and phosphorous which will significantly reduce the need to apply fertilisers to the course. Currently the course is still using 200 megalitres of River Murray water and only 90 megalitres of reclaimed water, a figure Mr Burnell hopes will increase. “It will be absolutely brilliant to see a golf course of this size and this magnitude to be able to run off all reclaimed water,� he said. As Mr Burnell stood on the green looking down the neck of the golf course he said how proud he was to have a course in such good condition considering the drought. “You look at some of the other clubs up the river, they are struggling and I think it is a credit to the town to be able to unite to get a course that is looking the way it is,� he said. The $4 million cost of the project was one of the hurdles that stood in the way of the community group determined to bring the project to life. River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald said the project had been a “labour

of heartache� but is pleased with the final result. “It is not an easy project in a small community, to be able to put together something of this size and this extent and this complexity,� she said. Mr Burnell also had to overcome many obstacles in a fight to get the golf course looking as it does today. “I went in there (a meeting) to bat for a system that we didn’t think was going to work,� he said. “I had all the sums worked out as to what we are doing and why we are doing it and got hounded.� Meanwhile, 380 people in the Moorook Country Lands are receiving filtered River Murray water in a project worth $7.3 million. The State Government said the treatment plant, officially opened last week, will provide regional homes with good quality water after the drought had significantly effected their water supply. Other Riverland communities to benefit from stage three of the State Government’s Country Water Quality Improvement Program are Cadell, Glossop, Blanchetown, Kingston-onMurray, Mannum Country Lands, Monash, Moorook and Swan Reach.

uncertain on for inquest By BRAD PERRY RIVERLAND police are unsure as to how long a coronial inquest into the fatal Barmera shooting will take as local residents attempt to recover from the incident. A 62 year old Barmera man fatally injured his estranged partner and a police officer was injured after an armed domestic dispute at a Bassham Road house in Barmera last Friday. Neighbours raised the alarm to police after hearing a disturbance and on attendance, police were unable to make contact with the man inside. Police attempted to make contact with the man, using loudhailers and mobile phones with little effect. After the victim’s elderly father, who owns the property, escaped the house, there were fears for the safety of the woman inside. Head of Riverland Police Chief Inspector Ian Parrott said STAR Group officers, from Adelaide, attempted to negotiate with the man. “The attempts to contact the people inside the premises were unsuccessful,� he said. “As a result, fears were held for the health and safety of the woman inside and in the course of entering the premises, a male person inside the premises, is believed to have fired a shot at police. “Police have subsequently returned fire and the male person is now deceased.� Neighbours said they heard a number of gun shots

POLICE NEWS Double break in AT ABOUT 11:15am last Tuesday, cigarettes, alcohol and a firearm were stolen from a house while the owner was at home. The house was entered through an unlocked back door and police have reminded residents to keep their premises secured at all times. Meantime, a shed in Barmera was broken into on the same day after a padlock had been removed. While it appears nothing was stolen, police crime scene examiners are examining the scene.

on three separate occasions during the three hour shoot out. Chief Inspector Ian Parrott said the injured policeman was flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a stable condition. It is believed the 45 year old STAR Group officer was lucky to escape with his life after the bullet hit his hand, which was holding his gun in front of his face. Police would not comment on the identities of the deceased but it is believed the man was a strawberry grower whose farm had been affected by the drought. Chief Inspector Ian Parrott said ambulance officers attempted to treat the deceased, once full access to the house was possible. “Ambulance officers immediately entered the house after this incident and gave first aid to the patients inside and, as I said, tragically two lives have been lost,� he said. Police said the woman had been shot earlier in the

day by her partner and died not long afterwards. The incident left neighbours shocked and trying to come to terms with the reality of the shoot out. Cindy Kemp, who lives across the road from where the two lives were lost, said the house had been visited by police on several occasions. “Police had been talking to a woman there one night a couple of months ago,� she said. Her daughter Tahnee Kemp said it was hard to imagine this type of incident occurring in such a quiet place. “For something like this to happen here, it is quite a disturbance,� she said. Cindy and Tahnee Kemp were both outside their home when the shootout began and could hear the sound of bullets. “It was like bang, bang, bang, bang, then a minute’s break and then two more,� Cindy Kemp said.

A TRUCK rolled over at Pinnaroo at around midday on Monday resulting in a two year old child being airlifted to the Adelaide Women and Children’s Hospital in a serious condition. The truck driver and an adult passenger were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A day later, at about 4:40pm, a single car accident occurred on Chino Street in Renmark. The 15 year old driver escaped serious injury and police are continuing to investigate the unlicensed driver over the incident.

Fire spark AT ABOUT 12:40pm on Tuesday, a Barmera resident was fined for lighting a fire on a fire ban day. Neighbours called Berri police after seeing smoke coming from the house as the man was burning rubbish. On the same day at about 5:38pm, a Monash resident started a fire while using a grinder. Sparks from the grinder ignited nearby coals starting the fire, which was extinguished shortly after.

BERRI Barmera Council is looking to form a town beautification committee to target areas of the towns that seem a little underdone and require a makeover. Council chief executive officer David Beaton indicated it was generally felt amongst council members that something needs to be done. “I’m sure that the council themselves aren’t happy with the way Berri as a town looks and Barmera’s main street and things like that could certainly look better and so we want to

lift what we’ve got,� he said. “There’s probably a lack of colour and vibrancy compared to other towns.� With that in mind, council will send out an invitation to the community, targeting service groups in particular, as well as any individual willing to lend a hand. Mr Beaton said council intends to hold a meeting next month to help form the committee and for people to register their interest. “If people want to come along that are interested, that will be good,� he said. The committee is expected to

be made up of a mix of community groups, council members and the general public. Mr Beaton said town entrances, the riverfront and roundabouts have been outlined as ideal starting projects. He said with council’s current commitment to its various garden and park areas around the district, it is hard to find time and money to address the colourful side of gardening. “We’ve got a huge area of parks we have to maintain and sometimes flowers and that sort of thing can be quite time consuming,� he said.

CAMPER’S beware at Martin’s Bend. Berri Barmera Council is planning an attack on fragile trees in the camping area after recent branch falls have led to a tree inspection. Council chief executive officer David Beaton said council is working to reduce the public risk. “The worst part about it is the ones that dropped their limbs are the ones that are actually alive,� he said. “So it’s a matter of identifying the ones that are a problem and trim them up a bit.� He expects the trimming to be underway soon. “Hopefully sooner rather than later but likely within the next couple of weeks,� Mr Beaton said. In the meantime, campers are still allowed to camp in the area. However, those who do are warned to do so with caution. “We’ll get the caretaker to advise people just to be careful when camping there and parking under trees,� Mr Beaton said.

THE management of the Community Transport Scheme will go under review this year, however Berri Barmera Council has no intention of ceasing the service. The community development officer’s quarterly report for February said “council (should) inform the passenger transport board of its intention to cease co-ordinating the Riverland Community Transport Scheme and support them to find a suitable co-ordinating body.� Council chief executive officer David Beaton confirmed council’s commitment to keeping the scheme running. “We’re just asking, is council administrating it the best way that it can be done or is there an opportunity that those vehicles can be under the umbrella of another organisation so that it supports the volunteers better and makes it flow better.�

Mr Beaton indicated that if the management was to shift, it would fall into the hands of a local health authority and not necessarily a private individual, given the program is supported with government funding. “It’s a great service and the volunteers do a fantastic job and we want to support them and just make sure that the best umbrella organisation is doing it for the long term,� he said. The service encompasses the entire Riverland area and Mr Beaton said Berri Barmera Council has received interim indications of future support from the other Riverland councils. “They’ve indicated they’ll help out from the preliminary discussions we’ve had but it’s more about just seeing where it should sit, whether there can be an amalgamation with someone else to allow it to be better,� he said.

A POSITIVE outlook and innovative approach to broking has seen Riverland Lending Service again named the Australian Finance Broking Business of the Year. It is the third consecutive year RLS, a part of the Mildura Finance Limited Group, has taken out the award, which was announced at the Mortgage Finance Association of Australia awards in Sydney late last week.

Judges described RLS as the “stand out� entry in the category. Company executive director Jeff McDonald said the award was significant during the current economic battle. “I love living in the Riverland and everything it offers my family but when it comes to business it has been important to broaden our horizons,� Mr McDonald said.

“We know how tough some people are doing it and how tight the lending market has become, so we try to be there to lend a hand where we can.� As a result of its outward looking approach, RLS has developed markets along the east coast, providing support and financial assistance to almost 500 finance brokers across Australia.

THERE is a buzz of anticipation around the Riverland as the AFL NAB Challenge game between Adelaide and the Hawthorn nears this weekend. Riverland Football League executive officer Mick Beech is expecting a big crowd on Saturday. “To get last year’s premiers, it’s huge,” he said. “You couldn’t have written the script any better. “Wherever I’ve gone, everyone’s talking about it. “It’s only every 10 years or so you get the opportunity for people to see such a high standard of footy.” With 7000 flowing through the Berri gates 10 years ago for the Geelong versus Adelaide game, Mr Beech is expecting at least 6000 to pack into the Berri Oval on Saturday. “The Hawks have a strong membership base in the Riverland and Adelaide has even more,” he said. About 3500 people attended last year’s RFL grand final with Mark Ricciuto. Much hype surrounds whether gun forward Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin will turn out for the Hawks. “If he plays we might expect a few more because he is such a superstar,” Mr Beech said. The under 18 curtain raiser between West Adelaide and Norwood will also put some local youngsters on the big stage, Mr Beech informed by the Bloods that between 12 and 14 young Riverlanders in the squad will take to the field. Adding to the day’s events is the RFL’s centenary launch at 2pm, after which the doors will be open at 2.30pm for the public to meander through and take in all the history and memorabilia on display. “It will probably be one of the bigger days in the history of the footy league in terms of what’s on,” Mr Beech said. All the media will be there, TV cameras for news grabs and 5AA broadcasting the game from

Food Feast By BRAD PERRY IMAGINE having a gourmet selection of tantalising foods and combine that with a range of impressive local wines and you will have the 30th annual International Food Fair at Waikerie. The food fair kicks off at 6.30pm this Sunday at the Civic Centre grounds and a big crowd is expected to enjoy the lavish feast. Greek, Italian, Mongolian, Mexican and Indian are a few of the different national dishes that will be on offer for dinner. The feast will be matched with a fancy spread of desserts and sweets. Waikerie Rotary Club president elect Grant Hall said due to the economic situation in the Riverland, prices will be kept low and affordable for everyone. The money raised on the night will be donated to the Waikerie High School to finance installation of an air conditioner for the assembly hall. “It is a good project which will be used by the kids and the community,� Mr Hall said. “The Rotary Club will subsidise the cost this year and will make up the rest of the project with a reasonable donation.� In previous years, the event has raised up to $8000 and Mr Hall is encouraging everyone to come down and have an enjoyable night while raising money for a good cause. “It is really a nice night with food and fun for the whole family,� he said. The Country Limestone Balladeers, from Blanchetown, will provide musical entertainment while local children will show off their dance moves. While the adults are entertained, children will be able to take advantage of the many rides on offer. Mr Hall said the region should take advantage of such a unique event and believes anyone who goes along will have a great night. “The best part, I think, is being able to taste different foods with a nice glass of wine and chat to friends,� he said.

Mardi Gras raises an impressive $40,000 By BRAD PERRY MORE than $40,000 was raised during one of the biggest and most successful Loxton Mardi Gras last weekend. The annual event, in its 52nd year, attracted hundreds of people to see the colourful floats and witness the outstanding efforts of the Mardi Gras Ambassador entrants. Pageant co-ordinator Kylie O’Shaugnessy said there has been so much positive feedback from an event which unites the community. “People were just very impressed with how it went and the streets were full of people,� she said. “There were comments suggesting it was one of the biggest crowds we have had.� Saturday morning saw East Terrace filled with an array of side stalls and people took advantage of the local items and foods on offer. This year’s Mardi Gras had the theme ‘The Carnival of Colour’ and Mrs O’Shaugnessy said it lived up to its theme with the 90 floats that took part. The Ladies Probus Club, St Albert’s Catholic School and the Loxton Calisthenics Club were just a few of the many award winners, with their eye catching float displays. “It was just so colourful and well attended, everyone who was involved was just outstand-

ing,� Mrs O’Shaugnessy said. The floats especially appealed to the youngsters who came along and Mrs O’Shaugnessy said it was great to see the kid’s attractions being so popular. More than 20 vintage cars featured in the pageant and the South Australian Police Band entertained the delighted crowd. The highlight of the pageant was the crowning of the ambas-

sadors, with the overall winner being Monique Felder. The charity ambassador winner was Pamela Perre, while Marj Schmidtke was crowned senior ambassador and the joint junior ambassadors were Tara Wormald and Zoe Battams. Mrs O’Shaugnessy said all the winners and participants put in huge amounts of work and while it was a difficult choice to

pick the winner, all the ambassadors had represented themselves well. “There was a lot of time and effort put into it all and it was hard for the judges to choose a winner,� she said. The weekend finished off with the Apex Fisharama which saw over 100 entrants battle it out to catch the most impressive fish.

Renmark Paringa Council News

NSW water has little impact

Upgrade of popular riverfront spot By BRAD PERRY ARGUABLY some of the best river frontage in the region, Renmark’s riverfront is currently receiving a major upgrade, with costs of up to $600,000. The upgrade involves the pouring of concrete paths and the driving of sheet piling into the river bed into the area between the Renmark Hotel and BankSA. Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Barry Hurst said the project is progressing well and he expects it to be finished by June, at the latest. The money for the upgrade has been allocated in the annual budget, however the council has also received a grant to help off -set the cost. “We’ve been pleased to receive some subsidy, from the recreational boat-

ing facilities program, of $125,000,� Mr Hurst said. “It is a major project for our council this year and it is certainly one that will achieve the outcomes that we are after, to improve the amenity, protection and facilities.�

The riverfront is popular amongst locals and tourists and Mr Hurst said the project is important for the future of the river at Renmark. “We think at the end of the day it will look really good and it will improve

the amenity of the riverfront,� he said. “It will also provide protection for the other infrastructure that is there, the river bank’s infrastructure that is on it and from erosion.� Houseboating and recreational boating facilities will be the major beneficiaries of the upgrade as it is a popular spot for houseboats. “The project itself has a number of components and one of those components is facilities for recreational boating, mainly houseboating,� Mr Hurst said. “There is a lot of recreational boating undertaken by residents of the region and Renmark particularly. “The council members have had an inspection of the area and are quite pleased with the progression being made.�

Pressure on for Renmark farewell By BRAD PERRY

ALLOCATION announcements made in New South Wales and Victoria earlier this week have seen little additional water become available for growers, according to Waterfind. New South Wales water authorities announced that allocations would remain unchanged following a hot February. Goulburn-Murray

Water’s high reliability water shares are now at 31 per cent, while the Murray system seasonal allocation remains at 35 per cent. All other northern Victorian water systems remain at zero allocation.

THE Renmark Paringa Council is under pressure to paint the back of Renmark’s new entry statement sign, following criticism about its colouring. The Renmark Paringa Traders has asked council to address the issue and requested their logo be placed on the back of the sign – at council’s cost. Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Barry Hurst said the positive feedback to the sign has been “overwhelming� and the new issue of filling the back of the sign will not involve any advertising. “We won’t be putting any advertising on it, we don’t believe it is appropriate to be using it for any form of advertising,� he said. Mr Hurst revealed the council already has plans for what to put on the back of the sign but whether the proposal is adopted, depends on the cost involved. “The back of the sign is prob-

TWO swimming pools in the Renmark Paringa Council area were temporarily closed after failing to reach the required health and safety regulations. While pools in the region were used on a regular basis during the latest spell of hot weather, three of the seven pools that were inspected complied with regulations, while two had marginal compliance and had to be shut down.

Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Barry Hurst said patrons of the pools should not be overly concerned about the closures. The pools were public access facilities but not necessarily ‘town pools’. “More importantly in this instance, it is things like motel swimming pools, hotel swimming pools, caravan parks,� he said. “They might have only been closed for a couple of hours while they adjusted the balance in the pool.� Mr Hurst said the surprise swim-

Getting farmers a better merger, the vote went through 90 per cent voting in favour of the proposal. “If that referendum was held again today and we had the opportunity to turn that around, I reckon it would be 90 to 10 but I reckon it would be the other way around,” he said. He has since turned to a new battle. Frustrated with input costs, Leighton and the Borrika farming community launched the Borrika Buying Group. One of only two buying groups in the state at the time, the group managed to cut input costs with bulk buying power. “We slashed our input costs, absolutely slashed our input costs,” Mr Huxtable said. There are about 18 buying groups in SA now.

Battle begins ■ HE has carried the fighting persona with him on various rural committees over the years, including a what he described as a frustrating tenure, on the South Australian Farmer’s Federation (SAFF) Grain’s Council. When Ausbulk was to ‘merge’ with ABB Grain, Mr Huxtable opposed the motion despite considerable support for it from industry leaders. Despite putting in many hours campaigning against the

■ WITH that buying group concept, in 1996 the Direct Fertilisers concept was born. “Growers pay up front and we use their money to bring the fertiliser in and once we facilitated all that, the fertiliser becomes theirs, we pay the account overseas and after we’ve done all that, we pay back a rebate to those growers. “We do it as economically as we possibly can.” “That’s the main ethic behind it.” Aiming to make five dollars per tonne profit, after nine years, Direct Fertilisers had $1 million in the bank. “Our shareholders got a nice little dividend,” Mr Huxtable said. On selling the company’s infrastructure, it paid a 20/1 return on investment to its shareholders.

between. “I know they (globalised input companies) have been absolutely abusing us as farmers,” he said. “We’re the important part and these companies that have got a monopoly are treating us like peasants. “I think it’s high time we as farmers stood up collectively and did something together. “The time is right to recreate the grower owned and run co-operatives. “That is my vision for chemicals, for fertiliser, which we’re doing, diesel in the future and I’d love to move into storage and handling and if we go do that we’re in a great position to market our own grain. “This (fertiliser) is a stepping stone, one step at a time.” Mr Huxtable knows it is a long road ahead. “We will need a lot of very good advice from people a hell of a lot smarter than me to put in place a structure that is the right structure and one that will last indefinitely and return any profits back to growers,” he said. “The profitability of farmers is quite a bit down and I want farmers to enjoy a good life and I don’t think they are at the moment. “I really care about my fellow farmers, I really do.”

Nasty reactions ■ AS the Borrika buying group upset a few locals, the Direct Farm Inputs concept has ruffled the feathers of some much bigger birds. On Friday, December 12, 2008 Direct Farm Inputs listed its fertiliser price at $1030 a tonne to try and take advantage of the weekend before the opposition could react. At the same time, other fertiliser companies were selling at between $1600 and $1700 a tonne. Overnight, the same opposition companies dropped their prices to match DFI, a reduction of some $600 a tonne. The reaction was swift, with Mr Huxtable even copping a death threat. At about 6.25am on December

They are former resident Deb Sleeman of American River, Kangaroo Island, Lis Johnson of Yarraville, Victoria, Janette Moore, of Cumberland Park, South Australia, Gerry McMahon, of Prospect, South Australia, and Nicholas Uhlmann of Scott Creek, South Australia. The local response artists will be invited to participate as an assistant or mentoree in the preparation and fabrication of the selected artwork. Kelvin Trimper, chairman of the committee which has been established to raise funding for the design and construction of the sculpture, said the short listing of artists for the project was an important milestone in the project’s short history. Mr Trimper said that while fund raising was well on the way towards achieving the $100,000 needed for the project, it was hoped the reaching of this stage of the project would stimulate more donations. People or organisations interested in making donations to the fund can do so by emailing davidrustonsculptu re@riverland.net.au or David Ruston Sculpture C/o P.O. Box 12, Renmark, SA, 5341, for further details. Donations can also be made through any branch of the NAB to the David Ruston Sculpture, BSB 085 878, account number 829 190 774.

NICK Xenophon, the saviour of the Riverland, the man who will fix all our problems and he’s even been called a hero. Well before you order the bronze statue, or start naming streets after him, why don’t we look at what he’s done? He and a few other politicians have had their walks and talks with struggling growers, gotten lots of media coverage, made a lot of promises to look after the Riverland, which they had no hope of keeping, and generally big noted themselves. Recently he got all that money for the Murray-Darling Basin, only because he had the deciding vote and that was only because the Liberal Party where determined to block the Labour Party’s package. Basically it fell in his lap. He had no prior knowledge that was going to happen, so when he was going to “look after the Riverland� how did he intend to finance it? With the billion dollars he got, the only benefit I see to the Riverland is the ‘get out package’ level was raised to 40 hectares. I hope someone can tell me why it is that no politician wants to explain how and why we are in this position and how we stop history repeating itself the next time we get a dry spell. Why, won’t Mister X stand up and ask the questions that need to be answered? Such as:

Why has the river been over allocated? Why weren’t all plantings stopped when this began? How have the managed investment companies been allowed to plant up thousands of acres, pumping massive amounts of water on to what was a dry land farming area? Why have growers in NSW been allowed for years to own massive amounts of water they have never used except for leasing? Why are there still huge open channels being used to supply travelling irrigators interstate? Why are both sides of government so afraid of forming a commission to examine every water allocation from the Murray Darling Basin and if the water is not being used ecologically and economically based on the crops grown, it should be frozen or reduced, without exception? Why isn’t one body controlling the river, in a time of national emergency rather than some states being able to top up their storages, while others are on restrictions? I don’t know about you but I would like to see the one person who can ask these and other questions in Canberra, to ask them, and demand the answers be made public, so we can make informed decisions about our future. If Mister X is the ‘saviour’ or the ‘hero’ of the Riverland, let’s see him get the answers that no one seems to want to give, or is he all show as I believe?

Zonta Club's annual celebration of women T

HE Riverland’s Zonta Club will celebrate International Women’s Day with a breakfast on Saturday, March 14. Zonta members celebrate the event annually, recognising the role of women in our community and the importance of their contributions to society. “We know that woman help keep our communities healthy, they are very important to our communities,� Zonta Club secretary Jenny Boyd said. “Women are still the major carers in our society whether in a paid or unpaid role. “They look after people with disabilities and if they don’t care for themselves there’s a breakdown in our community.� International Women’s Day dates back to 1908 when 15,000 women marched through New York City seeking better pay and voting rights. Since then, through organisations like Zonta, the movement has gained momentum, with the word spreading across the world. This year, the Riverland Zonta Club’s women’s day theme celebrates the activities of women who work with the disabled, as well as the achievements of women with disabilities. Jenny said the event, held at the Berri Club, is one Zonta members look forward to each year. Guest speaker for this year’s event will be Anuradha Mundkur, who is a board director of UNIFEM Australia and

Two major projects are the making of breast cushions for women who have had cancer operations and birthing kits for women from impoverished nations. “Zonta is a service club

about improving the status of women both locally, nationally and internationally,� Jenny said. Jenny said the club is a great support network for women of all interests and past times. “The fellowship and skills of women is a major part of it,� she said. “We meet once a month and come together and share and promote those issues and

International Women's Day

Women's celebration a century old tradition T

HE United Nations established International Women’s Day in 1977 to celebrate the rights of women and international peace. However, its history stretches back to the early 1900s, when women’s organisations used the day to rally support for their causes: from the universal suffrage movement to the protest of poor working conditions. Today, both women and men spend the day reflecting on women’s progress. Each year thousands of Zonta Club members spanning the globe join millions of people to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8. The day also marks Zonta’s annual Rose Day. Since the 1984 Zonta International Convention in

Sydney, the yellow rose has been a cherished symbol to Zontians everywhere.

Today, both women and men spend the day reflecting...

The yellow bloom can be seen in members’ gardens, memorial plantings (the Riverland club has a public Zonta Rose garden in Loxton, Berri and Renmark, thanks to the support of local councils), domestic violence shelters, schools, hospitals

6ALID UNTIL

HE Riverland tourism industry has farewelled a great campaigner with the retirement of treasured tour co-ordinator Val Townsend. It ends a long and celebrated career as a partner of the Townsend's Riverland Tours, which has included over 20 years presiding over local travel club tours. The business is a real local success story, after beginning with a local school bus contract and building it from there. While she had young children on her hands when the business started, husband Ted was out and about setting up what was to become a famous Riverland business. Gradually Townsend's Riverland Tours began to grow. “From then on we started to grow and as we grew, there were certain other requests and then we started doing the various different charter tours,� Val said. “From there our office was set up in our residence for many years.� Townsend’s then purchased Renmark Bus Service and set up office in town. “Now it’s there, it’s just grown,� Val said. Townsend’s now run school buses in Renmark, Glossop and has recently purchased the Loxton school buses. The travel clubs are a special hallmark of Townsend’s Riverland Tours, something that Val has sincerely enjoyed coordinating throughout her career in tourism. What started as a day’s outing per month for a

large group of locals, began to grow in popularity and word spread throughout the region. “The people from other towns heard about it so now we have five travel clubs,� Val said. “It gets people out of their homes and makes sure something happens.� “Once I was able to, and the children were out of my hands, I started planning the tours and they got bigger and bigger.�

... You can’t really be half-way in it in a company like that. From travelling to various locations on day trips around the state and surrounding areas, the tours continued to grow with members joining tours from the likes of Hay, Victoria, Sydney, Ardrossan, on the Yorke Peninsula, and Adelaide. The clubs would disappear to different corners of the continent for weeks at a time, before eventually heading overseas to Norfolk Island, New Zealand, Africa, the United States and Canada. The travel clubs are now, and continue to be, a popular venture for Riverland tourists. “From the travel clubs, I think that really enabled us to grow in the field and work on the tourism development side of it,� Val said. She places great value on the different experiences from the tours, including the people she has toured and worked with.

“You’ve got a team of people working with you so it’s not just your own ideas,â€? Val said. “I think every tour has got something very special about it. “The people that travel with you, to see them enjoy it is probably my goal.â€? The retirement has been looming though and once 2008 ticked into 2009, Val pulled the pin. “I’ve had it in mind for a long time and I thought ‌ you can’t really be halfway in it in a company like that,â€? she said. “I thought it would be better to just step back.â€? Son Tony and wife Cherie have now been running the business for the past six years, something that Val is quite proud of and has her looking forward to life ahead. “Probably now I’m going to have a bit more time to do some of the things I look at every year,â€? Val said. “And who knows, we might venture away ourselves and do a few things, the opportunity is there.â€? She said she aims to finish the house and have a bit more time with family and her seven grand kids, aged from 11 to 22 months. The time on her hands does have its own burden attached however. “It’s not good at the moment, I’m not coping well but we’ll get through it,â€? she laughed. “I’m not a sit-down person, so I like doing things.â€? That being said, Val will host a tour by Townsend’s Riverland Tours to Norfolk Island tour in June this year.

Have your say about the issues that affect you.

Thought provoking THANK you for printing Tom Donkin’s article on the thought provoking finds at Lake Bonney. It is obvious why he has been taken by the BBC World Service to greener pastures. The unknown early white history of the Riverland, and specifically the early encounters between the Overlanders and the local Aboriginals, is a revelation that should not be ignored and hopefully will receive the archaeological recognition and investigation it deserves. Jen Mattinson, Former student, Deptartment of Archaeology and Aboriginal Art, Flinders University. IN response to Vida Sumner’s article (Riverland Weekly, February 26) titled Lake Bonney’s grisly history. She has certainly hit the nail on the head with her article. It is pleasing that someone has come forward and followed up the history and revealed the true story of the early European invasion of Lake Bonney and surrounding areas. My father, the late Doug Bannear, who studied Lake Bonney’s Aboriginal history, always said if Lake Bonney ever receded, it would reveal many artefacts and secrets.

It is disappointing to see artefacts one day and gone the next. With the shores of the lake receding we have more people walking and taking artefacts as souvenirs or collectors items. The trail bikes and four wheel drives have destroyed the sandhills surrounding Lake Bonney and now the shores are used as a speedway. It is tragic to see the destruction of the lake surrounds, as they contain massive amounts of Aboriginal culture of the past. We seem to be treating Lake Bonney like some useless water body that is a nuisance to our river system. Here we have 30 to 40 thousand years of heritage and our politicians seem to be hell bent on destroying it. If it was an old heritage building, would it get the same treatment? I wonder. John Bannear, Cobdogla.

Mardi Gras thanks TO the people of Loxton, I would like to thank you deeply for the support you gave me throughout my quest as a Mardi Gras Ambassador entrant. Without your support I wouldn’t have been able to raise the amount that we did for our community. I would like to thank all the

businesses who donated goods for my events, as well as the venues that helped me host several of my fundraisers. Having a community that was willing to help me out is just sensational in every way. Even though everyone is struggling in these economic times, you have still been there to help out. I would especially like to thank the Lions Club of Loxton for always being there for me. My congratulations to Monique and Pam. Thanks also to Nicole – it has been a great journey. Eleisha Taylor, Loxton. THROUGH your paper we wish to convey our thanks to all who supported our daughter Eleisha as an ambassador in the Mardi Gras quest, by attending her functions, offering goods and services, providing venues, and conveying well wishes. We especially thank the many individuals and businesses who so willingly donated goods for prizes for our events, despite the current economic times. As small business owners ourselves, we understand and appreciate the need for our community to pull together and support one another to ensure the continued financial success of

Loxton. There is no greater need than now for us to support our local businesses. A special thank you must go to the Lions Club of Loxton. What a great bunch you are. You backed Eleisha all the way, and worked like Trojans with the many functions we held. Your sense of community is an inspiration, and our family has enjoyed the association.

Minister, you have successfully demonstrated you fall into the bulldozer category. Communicating is a two way process, which if done properly does not make a person look a like ‘bulldozer’. (Minister) Maywald may win at the next election but may inherit what she has created, which I feel cannot be corrected. Mel Smith, Berri.

Michael and Faye Taylor, Loxton.

Loyal customers thanked

Three wise monkeys Minister Maywald, I ask you to take a look and try to understand the meaning of the figurines of the ‘Three Wise Monkeys. They quietly achieve what they have observed. On the other hand, a bulldozer makes a lot of noise, so as not to be able to hear what is said. It knocks down everything in its path, regardless what the outcome.

AFTER 25 plus years, Boutique 21 Renmark closed its doors on Saturday, February 28. Many loyal customers from all Riverland towns and beyond have enjoyed our unique customer service. We would sincerely like to thank them all for their patronage and for shopping locally. With thanks and appreciation. Nagari Riedel and Elaine Coombs, Renmark.

Riverland Home Based Business Network

A great place to start A SELF professed born and bred ‘City Slicker’, Tracey Wasgind has found the Riverland the perfect place to start a home based business. An accountant with a bachelor of commerce, Tracey completed her studies at Adelaide University in 2003. Looking to put her skills to professional use, family and friends recommended the Riverland as a good place to start out. “Having only been to the old style Monash playground as a young child, I travelled up here in 2004 looking for work, combining the trip with a holiday,� Tracey said. Tracey gained work with Greg Thornley at MSI Tilley Murphy Hughes as a graduate accountant and has never looked back. “I love it here,� she said. Tracey has gained skills and qualifications in various areas (including audit, bookkeeping, management reporting and MYOB certified consulting). In July, Tracey decided it was time to strike out on her own. The services Tracey offers include: Bookkeeping ■Data entry including entering sales and payments, tracing debtors and creditors, petty cash etc; ■Payroll services including payroll, super accruals, work cover and payroll tax. Accounting ■Automation of manual management reports if MYOB is used as an accounting package; ■Consolidation and division

â– VERSATILE: Tracey Wasgind can help you with your financial dilemmas in her office or (inset) by coming to your home or business. Photo: JANE WILSON of departmental management reports; â– End of month procedures, including reconciliations of bank, other cash clearing accounts, debtors, creditors, payroll clearing accounts, etc. Tracey has recently received her Public Practice Certificate through

the National Institute of Accountants. She is also the only MYOB Certified Consultant based in the Riverland. Services in this area include product sales, software set up, training of individuals or small groups, ongoing phone and email

support and regular financial check-ups. Due to numerous queries from various potential clients, Tracey has recently completed several courses with MYOB to expand her skills to include MYOB Retail Manager, (including set-up, day to day procedures and advance hints and tips).

She also does BAS preparation, minor audit/reviews of small non-for-profit organisations. Most importantly, while Tracey works from home, she can also come to you. “I love a challenge and I can set you up on your own MYOB or look after all of it on my system,� Tracey said. “I will work with your tax accountant, not compete with them. “Keeping your bookwork up to date ensures you have useful financial information at your fingertips to help you make wise business decisions.�

■WHAT a great effort by the Loxton community on the weekend, the annual Mardi Gras again raising nearly $40,000 for the community. The community support for such an event and all that it achieves cannot be understated in these tough times. Loxton’s Ladies Probus Club were the highlight of the pageant but a special mention must be made to the girls who planned Mel Steele’s hen’s day to include a ride on her own special float. Mel will soon marry Loxton Club manager Andre Angeleski. Congratulations to the Mardi Gras committee for another great event, showing why (again) this important fundraiser must continue well into the future.

Anton's Building Design and Construction

â– UNIQUE: Anton can build you a house that will be the pride of your street.

A testimony to quality work STEVE and Tanya Lehmann wanted something different when they went about seeking a builder to build their rammed earth home. Anton’s Building Design and Construction was the only local builder they approached that was willing to take on the job. “He said he’d never heard of it,� Tanya said of when they first approached Anton. However, his positive response was a welcome surprise. “He told us ‘I like doing something different, I can do this for you, I will build you a nice new home’,� she said. The benefits of the rammed earth home is its excellent insulation properties and acoustics, ensuring there is no echo and the home remains at a comfortable temperature all year round. While budget constraints were a minor issue, Tanya said there was the option for solar hot water and the

family would have taken it if money had allowed. “It still has all the mod cons but we don’t need the same amount of heating or cooling other homes need,� Tanya said. In six months, the home was built. “He was very efficient,� Tanya said. She said he quoted them a straight-up price and if he made any alterations he would foot the bill, or vice versa for Tanya and Steven if they were keen to alter something. Tanya was also impressed with how much Anton included them in the building process. “We were out there most days,� she said. “He was only too happy for us to be involved with the building.� The couple were ecstatic with the end result. “Absolutely, it was a good job,� Tanya said.

BUILDING a home is an important stage in anyone’s life, so it is important to get it right the first time. Anton’s Building Design and Construction is a local building and design firm that does just that, get it right. Manager Anton Kosturjak has the experience and knowledge to take on just about any job and is open to new requests or alternative building techniques and designs. “People like something different,� he said “Whether that be big, spacious, whatever the customer needs, we build it for them.� Anton’s can handle your building project from start to finish, assisting with the design and planning and gaining council approval to building and finishing the entire job. This saves painful time consuming forced changes to home design and ensures a smooth building process, from planning to completion. Whether it be the conventional styles of double brick or brick veneer or one of the many varying alternatives available today. Anton’s Building Design and Construction is as adventurous as its clients, willing to consider all sorts of building concepts and design innovations when building a new home or renovating. Attention to detail and pride in the end product guarantees a high-quality, visually appealing finished job. With extensive construction experience on the commercial front, Anton has seen it all before, taking on huge commercial building projects with schools, large buildings and versatile business designs. Two storey homes are also a specialty, with two completed last year within about three months respectively. While this timeline depends on tradesman availability, Anton assures that all projects are taken on with time in mind and

the business works efficiently to get it done as soon as possible. Being a big supporter of local businesses and tradespeople, Anton’s looks to utilise contractors from the region, while also buying building materials from local suppliers. The company selects its contractors carefully, based on their work ethic and quality. “If you get good workers, you get a good job,� Anton said.

Anton’s should be your first port of call when considering your building or renovation project, the business works closely with its clients to ensure both the builder and the client have a design that is satisfying and cost-effective. Issues are sorted out there and then, with communication lines open at all times. “It’s important to get what you want from the start,� Anton said. Anton’s can also suggest

various improvements to building designs, whether it be a different construction technique, material or design. Anton’s also likes to include eco-friendly materials and designs in their projects where possible, moving with the modern trends to reduce the environmental footprint of new homes. Energy efficiency is an important aspect Anton’s addresses, whether it means

blocking out the hot summer sun with double glazed windows or installing energy friendly solar hot water systems, the possibilities are endless and the sky’s the limit. A little time planning can lead to greater long term rewards and spending a little more money today can save a lot more down the track. “We’re quite prepared to talk to anybody about environmentally friendly materi-

als and incorporate them into the design they come up with,� Anton said. Anton’s is up to date with the latest trends as well, keeping a finger on the pulse of building and renovations locally and beyond. Unsurprisingly, verandas are proving popular locally, given their valuable shade and entertaining area values. On the renovation front, bathrooms and kitchens are where the money is spent.

$OMESTIC AND #OMMERCIAL

ANTON'S Building Design and Construction manager Anton Kosturjak has over 40 years experience in the building trade behind him. Starting with an apprenticeship in Croatia in 1966, Mr Kostrujak soon moved to Australia and was quickly immersed in the construction industry around the nation on the commercial front, before starting his first job in the Riverland on the WIN Television (known as RTS5A at the time) building in 1970. From there, he went on to erect new buildings at a range of Riverland primary and high schools. His work has also included many commercial construction jobs in hospitals and multiple-storey business buildings. Locally, more of his significant work

He launched the business in 1991 before going solo in 1998 and has carried the tradition of quality construction since. In 2005, Anton’s Building Design and Construction was awarded a Housing Industry Association (HIA) award for best country builder based on

his work on a Berri house. “It’s very hard to achieve that, being from the country when city builders play with millions of dollars,� Anton said. In a region that has supported him so well, Anton has returned the favour, training several local apprentices who have since moved on to be very successful tradies including Andrew Centofanti, Steve Centofanti, Ben Williams and Shaun Webb. Andrew Centofanti went on to win the King Gee Jack of all Trades competition in 2007, something that Anton was very impressed with. “Andrew is a very determined, very energetic young fella,� he said. “He’s doing very well, he’s honest and hard working and that’s why he’s got a lot of work.�

VERY so often a home comes onto the market that excites your emotions. This three bedroom stone home certainly fits into this category. High ceilings, large spacious rooms, wide verandahs and walking distance to the river Murray, this retired eight acre citrus orchard looks across a short river flat to majestic river gums and onto a river reserve, and the Murray River. The home has been lovingly kept and would be the perfect project for the avid gardener with its spacious grounds and five megalitre water allowance. Kangaroos and kookaburras are regular visitors, the latter arriving in numbers around 5pm for their evening meal. There are two very large bedrooms that look toward the river reserve and at the rear of the home there is a smaller third bedroom. The bathroom has been recently renovated and there is plenty of space in the kitchen for preparing the family’s meals. The family/dining room

The verandah is the perfect place to relax in the evenings while the sun sets behind you. The wide verandahs and thick stone walls keep the home protected from extremes of temperature ensuring minimal use of the evaporative air conditioner and slow combustion wood heater. Instant gas supplies the home with plenty of hot water. Beside the home is a

small cottage style building that lends itself to becoming a studio/office or as a sleepout for visitors. Under the floor of the cottage is a large cellar accessible from the outside of the building via a stairwell. The features of this property are timeless and the position, priceless.

Video links school with star ■ From Page 52 “It will help them to have a goal in their life and to be better in their sport.” Mrs Tzanavaras said one of the reasons the school was chosen to talk to a star athlete was because of the advanced technology available to the students. Student Allysha Gropler said it was an experience that she would like to expe-

rience again, despite being nervous. “It was great, I even had butterflies in my stomach, I was that nervous,” she said. Hetzel told the children what it was like to participate in the Olympics and offered advice about pursuing a sport that you like, such as she did with water polo. “I love swimming and I love playing in team sports,”

she told the children. “Even now, I am still learning new skills and strategies every day.” Hetzel talked about her team experience at the Beijing Olympics. “It (the Olympics) was bigger than I could have ever possibly imagined,” she said. “It was so special to be surrounded by so many athletes from all over the world.”

TALK IT UP with SAF & RENO SAF: Reno, you’re still alive after Saturday night? They had to stop the show early because you drunk the place dry. Reno: Not me mate. You’re getting me mixed up with ‘Pickles’ Arnold. I didn’t realise that bloke could drink so much light beer and get so drunk on it. I think he should stick to footy, because he’s very ordinary on the turps. So, are you getting all excited about seeing your beloved Crows getting a touch up this weekend by the reigning premiers? Saf: Some inconsiderate mates have planned their wedding in Adelaide Saturday, so I’ll miss it. Would be great to see ‘Buddy’ in town though. Some young Riverlanders will get a go in the curtain raiser as well. Reno: Yeah, it’s going to be a great day. I’m really looking forward to it. It will be a good opportunity for the Riverland lads to impress in the curtainraiser too. Let’s hope they get a huge crowd there. Saf: They will. What a money spinner for the RFL

and the Riverland community in general. I’ll be able to give you a call to get the results anyway. Oh, hang on, I can’t because you dropped your phone in the toilet while you were on the job. Reno: Unfortunately, yes. You’d be surprised how many people have done the same thing. Not happy though. I’d only had it for four months and it cost me $850.00. I wonder if SGIC will believe me when I tell them that my phone ended up in the water when I pulled my pants up. Saf: Gold stuff. Riverland basketball finals continue tonight. Barmera men are still favourites and Renmark have just got the edge over Loxton in the women’s comp I would have thought. Reno: Well you’d have to say Barmera are certainties in the men’s comp. For starters, they have Rob ‘Brian Goorjian’ Wright coaching them and he was telling me the other day that he is the most influential coach to have ever coached in Riverland sport - bar

Gift hailed a huge success By LES PEARSON ONCE more the Nippy’s Loxton Gift Carnival impressed athletes and spectators alike, with a superb attendance leading organisers to proclaim the 2009 event the best yet. “I think it was probably the best carnival we’ve had due mainly to the superb weather,” athletics organiser Geoff Strutton said. The South Australian Athletic League put crowd estimates at a solid 3500, more than meeting the hopes of Mr Strutton and event officials. “It was very satisfying,” Mr Strutton said. He paid a major tribute to the Loxton Waikerie Council in their efforts to prepare the track. “First of all, the preparation of the track had been outstanding by council employees in difficult watering times,” Mr Strutton said. The Athletic League also praised the council and said the good quality track in difficult times spoke very highly of them. This year’s men’s 120 metre Loxton Gift winner Leon Burckhardt has been a major supporter of the event for many years, not missing one gift since it began in 2002 and making the final five times. Burckhardt is also a veteran in the athletics scene but the weekend’s win was his first major career victory, after being a 10 time finalist at the Camden Classic and multi-finalist at the Bay Sheffield but never claiming the spoils. “It’s turned out to be his biggest win, ever,” Mr Strutton said. However, the win wasn’t without its bit of luck with fastest qualifier in the semi-final Robbie James pulling a hamstring at the finish line when finishing the semi. Athlete of the Carnival went to the women’s winner of the 120 metre Loxton Gift Brigid Connolly. Connolly also claimed third place as a backmarker in the 300 metre race. “She was the only athlete to place first, second or third more than once for the whole carnival making her a pretty clear-cut selection,” Mr Strutton said. “It is a very prestigious award given they only present them at three carnivals in South Australia, the Loxton Gift, the Camden Classic and the Bay Sheffield.” Overall, the event was hailed a success, even the athletes at their after party claiming it the best Loxton event staged yet. It is this reaction that Mr Strutton hopes will draw more entries from across the border to the event, enabling it to grow further. “As we’re getting more prestigious we will have more interstate competitors,” he said.

none. Na, he didn’t say that. He said he was top three of all time. Saf: Yeah you’d be right about Rob. He told me the same thing. Talking of finals, I can’t work out the finals system the Riverland Basketball League has going. Every team makes the finals and the venues are already set. Loxton’s men finished bottom and got a home final against Berri and knocked them out. Pretty rough I would have thought. Well done to the Supercats young guns for getting up though. Reno: Any tips this week mate? Saf: Don’t know if I’m willing after getting both wrong last time. That Cristiano red card was rubbish though. Reno: Get over it you sook. Saf: It’s all right. I’m still proud of the boys. One tip would be to get down to the Glossop High School Continental tonight to support a good cause and to have heaps of good times. Also, Australia to win the series against South Africa. Reno: I have a tip. Don’t go to the thunderbox with your phone in your pocket. It could end up a costly experience.

One more team needed THE Loxton Football Club is seeking one more team for its annual football carnival. Club spokesman Colin Milburn said 11 teams have already signed up for the event but one more is required to even up the divisions. Mr Milburn said the carnival is to feature two divisions with seven in the top grade. “Everything else is looking good at this point,” Mr Milburn said. It is also understood that former Adelaide Crows, Loxton and Renmark player Tony Modra might be playing in the carnival with Encounter Bay. If you are interested in registering a team for next weekend’s carnival, contact Colin Milburn on 0418 615 099.

Bowls quandary ■FOR a number of our leading lawn bowlers their decisions last Sunday included more than just things like which bias to play but which competition to be involved in. Unfortunately a clash between the men’s champion of champion fours at Loxton and sectional play for the state triples at Barmera affected a number of bowlers. Association Secretary Ian Kubank says the matter has already been addressed and will not reoccur in future seasons with “preference being given to state events�. At Loxton, Trevor Schulz, David Kimber, Graeme Huppatz and skipper Peter Kimber defeated the Renmark RSL rink, missing three of its players from Saturday, 21– 6 in the final, while in second division Ron Grosser, Brenton Harrington, Jarrad Davis and Des Button teamed up for Berri to defeat Moorook. Third division green went to Waikerie (Harold Schiller, Colin Ramm, Barry Wiese and Harold Pee-

bles) over Moorook and in third division gold Loxton Red (Kay Henderson, Darryl Lawson, Denise McRaeWood and Bernie Mattner) defeated Berri. In the triples at Barmera, last years’s state champions Berri’s Ken Stokes, Andy Gapco and skipper Dennis Treloar took their first steps towards defending their title by winning their section. Other section winners were Mel Albanese, Dixie Lee and John Van der Wyst (skipper) from Renmark RSL and Stan Burnett, David Warner and Brian Burnett (skipper) from Waikerie. To find the association’s representatives for Adelaide Treloar has been drawn to play Van der Wyst back at Barmera this Sunday at 10am, with the winning rink to meet Burnett in the decider after that. There will be no men’s pennants this weekend with finals to commence on March 14. Women’s pennants start their finals tomorrow.

■MONASH DV8’s Trish Stieler recently won her third Riverland women’s eight ball McKinnon singles title in a row. Trish has also won the championship on other occasions, how many she cannot recall but after 23 years in the sport I agreed to excuse her memory fade. Her career began when former Riverland Turf Cricket Association president Martin Bryce arranged to enter a Monash team in the local mixed competition. After the McKinnon this

year Trish had reason to thank team mate Di Marshall, who she defeated in the final. Di had eliminated former Australian representative Tracy Altschwager in the first round of the tournament. As an aside, talking to Trish earlier this week she was full of praise for Altschwager’s promotion of the sport in the area as she has shared her expertise by moving between clubs and assisted others in getting into the sport. Altschwager, in fact, will join another team during the

winter as she turns out for an all women Monash combination in the mixed competition. The women’s association played the last of its minor round games last Monday night and finals will commence at the Monash Club on March 16. Meanwhile, over this March long weekend, two Riverland teams will be among 24 to play in the annual SA Women’s State Carnival at the Berri Resort Hotel.

Petrolhead tag questioned ■JUST when I thought my motor sport involvement via this column may be easing me into a ‘petrolhead’ classification, the description ‘sieve’ is being substituted instead. Unfairly I reckon. When someone tells you that the program at Riverland Speedway this Saturday night is to include a tug ‘o’ war between Holden and Ford, what image of the contest would most people conjure up – car versus car surely? Not so, sorry, but the fans of the respective camps will still be as fanatical about the drivers and crews from each side going

at each other because it is simply Holden verses Ford. Gates at Calperum Hill open at 5pm, racing from seven. The feature event at the meeting will be the junior state titles involving some 34 cars and with budding champions like Ty Galley, Joel Chadwick, Adrian Cottrell and Corey Sandow among those vying for race favouritism. Super sedans, street stocks and the 15 car ramp/figure eight, confusion that is not for the faint hearted, round off a terrific race card. The meeting is fully catered.

Gold hard to beat in Mid Murray cricket final ■ YOU cannot see Waikerie Gold being beaten in this Saturday’s Mid Murray cricket grand final against BSR at Waikerie. Rick Matthews (222 not out in the semi final, including 19 fours, 19 sixes in 99 balls), Andrew Bevan, Laurence Wakefield, Marcus McGrath and company simply seem to have too much firepower. I have said this before, sometimes to be rebuked but I still believe it would be great to see players of this calibre playing at our A grade level. And I feel that at times after they retire they may agree. Having said all that, in the Renmark District grand final, Renmark North were red hot favourites to win against Lyrup, third at the end of the minor round, but a major upset occurred. I don’t believe however that BSR boast a Ken Karpany, who spectacularly took Lyrup from a seemingly impossible position to an amazing win.

Hot action in basketball finals

■ DIVISION one basketball action returns to Loxton tonight with preliminary finals. At 7.30 Renmark plays Barmera in the women, 8.30 it is Renmark against Loxton in the men. Loxton and Barmera, the defending women’s and men’s champions watch from the stands waiting for grand final opponents. Minor premiers Renmark would want to start better this week than they finished last when they had a 7-21 deficit against a fast finishing Loxton in the final stanza of the women’s second semi. Led by Tess Dempsey, Lyn Sweeney and Kate Coden, the talented Renmark side should win on the season’s results thus far but the good form of Chelsea Hoare and Renee Book’s steadying influence and ability to bring younger players into the contest demand Barmera be respected. For Renmark men to beat a ‘nothing to lose’ young Loxton side, Craig Seekamp will simply need much more support from those around him.

TALKING SHOP

Again Loxton can be expected to have a red hot go with Jackson Fielke, John Reichstein and Brad Kirk the main fire stokers.

Tennis talent search ■ THERE will be a full day for junior tennis players at the Barmera courts tomorrow. Registrations are necessary for all events. Although it is late, contact Mike Horsman 0419 030 566. A talent search for girls and boys starts the day at 11am to1pm for years 14 and under, then 1.30 to 3.30 for years 12 and under. Immediately after 3.30 a fun introduction to tennis ‘Hotshots’ is open to five to10 year olds. Also this weekend at Renmark Tintra, round three of the inaugural Riverland Junior Grand Slam will be played in conjunction with a 14 years and under Optus Australian Ranking Points tournament. The 14 and under division of the local Grand Slam was played last Sun-

day, with the boys singles going to Cobdogla player Beau Brown after a tiebreaker final against Marcus Drogemuller of Berri. Round robin formats decided the remainder of the events with Marcus Drogemuller and Jack Jaensch (Renmark) taking out the boy’s doubles, Amber Marincus (Barmera) the girls singles and Renmark pair Heidi Schwartz- ■ GREEN: Waikerie’s good looking golf course will be busy in coming weeks with a kopff and Katelyn series of events.

armera-Monash came within a kangaroo's whisker of making the grand final last year, surprising many football pundits. The club currently has the longest premiership drought in the competition, coach Terry Eleftheriadis spoke to Riverland Weekly editor Rob McLean about the Roos' ambitions to change that fact.

■Q: Where will the club improve this season? A: I think with our young group with a good season under their belt, there’s a bit more experience there. There will be improvement across the board, more belief. I think our midfield is going to be a lot stronger. We’ve targeted a quicker midfield and it’s

â– Q: Who are the main recruits for this season? A: Russell Boatswain, from Waikerie. Jack Selfe is back after a stint in the reserves at West Adelaide. Josh Buchecker, a ruck rover, is back, and Brad Wilksch (formerly Berri) is a forward. â– Q: Of the departing players from last season, who will you miss the most? A: Scott Fraser was a very reliable backman and gave us some stability back there. â– Q: Who do you think will be the big improvers

among your players? A: Sam Horsley, we have high expectations of him. Towards the end of last season Jake Smith was playing fantastic footy. Chris Bonney is getting better and better each time he plays. Everyone should take note of Terry Packer – he’s not played senior footy but will be playing from round one. ■Q: What lessons has the club learnt from last season? A: If anything we learnt something I tried to reiterate at the start of the season; that’s a season doesn’t consist of half a dozen games. They had to give themselves every opportunity to win a game of footy. After a big loss early in the season everyone wrote us off but we got to within five

points of a grand final. It’s about being patient and knowing you have a strong enough depth in the football club to bring success. ■Q: How important is it for the club to perform strongly in the RFL’s centenary year? A: I would say it’s more important for the club to back up what we did last year. We’re not focussing on the centenary. There’s a grand final at Barmera which it would be nice to play in. More importantly it’s good for our club to play finals and win them – back it up and not fall away. ■Q: Have there been any off field changes at the club? A: We’ve managed to

There’s been a bit of work done on our changerooms. We are upgrading the away rooms, changing (the) gym to a trainer’s room and umpires have a new room. ■Q: Will your club play finals footy in 2009? A: We expect to play finals football. ■Q: Which juniors are impressing on the track and how will your other grades perform over the season? A: Terry Packer and Adam Grose will be looked at. Matt Leigh came close to playing last year, while Brad Broughton is up there. Travis Wilson has shown promise too.

Five Roos to watch: Andrew Nunan Matt Morrell Jack Selfe Russell Boatswain Dylan Millard

We’re obviously going to have a lot more depth than last season. Our seconds will be better because of that and our thirds will be up amongst them. We’ve got 15 players from last year’s under 15 premiers moving up. ■Q: Of your opponents, who will be the club and the players to watch this season? A: Waikerie are always going to be there. Renmark obviously. I think they are your two stand out strong clubs but I actually think any one of the other four are, going on what you hear, going to be improved. Renmark will be the side everyone’s trying to catch. As for players, the Stelzer boys (Matt and Paul), Peter Dempsey, all at Renmark, and Dean Storic, from Berri, are all worth a watch.

Expectations ■It’s really a development year. To lose so many players out of a team, it’s a chance for us to give some players some experience. Last year we blooded Cobie Drogemuller and Kate McKinlay, who has

been named reserve for the South Australian under 17s and has a SASI scholarship.

Finals chances ■It would be nice but I won’t be disappointed if we don’t because I think this is the start of a period of bringing young players through. That needs to be done in a nurturing environment.

Moorook Kingston Football Club season preview

Fresh outlook for Warriors M

OOROOK-KINGSTON faces an interesting year, with a new coach in Murray Voigt and a revamped playing line-up. Club president Darran Van Der Woude talks to Riverland Weekly journalist Les Pearson about the season ahead and how Independent football's longest major round streak will continue. â– Q: Where will the club improve/need to improve in 2009? A: On field, we need to be fitter, Murray Voigt has indicated that already and is working on it. Off field I'd like to see more people from the community involved by helping out with jobs here and there. â– Q: Who are the recruits for this season? A: We are still working on a number of blokes who have indicated they may be willing to come across. At this stage we have signed two players, including John Farr, from Wunkar. Both are very keen and training hard already.

â– Q: Of the departing players from last season, who will the club miss most? A: The blokes who have left are all mates and I will miss them all. They were all willing to do their share on field and were all valuable contributors.

■Q: What lessons has the club learned from last season? A: There is no substitute for fitness. ■Q: How important is it for the club to perform strongly in the RFL’s centenary year? A: It’s extremely important for MKFC to do well this year...as it is every year. We always strive for the best possible result regardless. ■Q: Have there been any offfield changes at the club? A: There have been numerous off field changes in 09, a new president, new secretary and most of the committee is new. We are still looking for timekeepers, score keepers and a team manager

It's extremely important for MKFC to do well this year.

â– Q: Will your club play finals in 2009? A: We have started training with the intent of playing and winning finals matches. That is our goal at this stage. â– Q: Which juniors are impressing on the track this summer and how will your colts perform over the season? A: We have plenty of juniors training with the senior squad at the moment. After their flag last year they are very keen to be competitive again. There are about five or six juniors who will be playing

■MISSING: Bustling centre half forward Ryan Pietrolaj (centre) will be one of several key Moorook-Kingston players who will not be at the club this season. The Warriors will be looking to its developing youngsters for improvement in 2009. Photo: FILE senior footy this year, at this stage two of the standouts are last year’s under 17s medalist Matt Raison and also Dylan Spence. Both are looking fit already and haven’t dropped a thing as far as their skills go from last year.

â– Q: Of your opponents, who will be the club and the players to watch this season? A: I believe the team to watch is Paringa, they seem to have picked up plenty of blokes during the off season and with a new coach look

to be on the money. My tip for the Howard Duthie Medal is Daniel Evans from Wunkar; strong body, good skills, knows where to be, he’s a very hard bloke to stop.

Cruze leads the Holden charge Holden shows off at Melbourne International Motor Show ■ LEADING EDGE: The Cruze is among 25 vehicles on Holden’s stand at the nation’s biggest motor show. THE Australian debut of the allnew Holden Cruze headlines Holden’s presence at the 2009 Melbourne International Motor Show. The stunning new small car range will be among no fewer than 25 vehicles on the stand, representing Holden’s broad vehicle offering covering a range of segments, prices and alternative fuel solutions. GM Holden chairman and managing director Mark Reuss said the motor show stand highlighted how Holden was moving with the changing needs and desires of motorists. “This show is about more than cars; it’s about responding to change and offering realistic, high value solutions for Australian car

buyers,” Mr Reuss said. “We understand these tough market conditions call for an innovative approach to diversifying our product range. “Cruze is among the products on our stand which highlight the product diversity and quality of Australia’s own car company.”

Cruze: ■ Powered by a 1.8 litre four cylinder petrol or optional 2.0 litre turbo charged diesel, Cruze will offer the choice of a five speed manual transmission or six speed automatic transmission with active select. With a sporty design, exceptional fit and finish and one of the most advanced interiors in

the small car market, Cruze will set the benchmark for Holden’s future small car strategy.

Special Edition Commodore International: ■ Commencing production this month, the Special Edition Commodore International pack will feature an impressive level of standard features. Providing two value offers for retail customers, the Special Edition International Commodore Sedan and Sportwagon have both been awarded a maximum five star safety rating by ANCAP. The unique product features include 18” alloy wheels, foglamps, a six disc CD changer,

leather appointed seat trim and steering wheel, bluetooth for compatible mobile phones and rear park assist on sedan. The Commodore International sedan can be fitted dual fuel LPG, expanding Holden’s range of LPG compatible vehicles and adding yet another model to the Holden EcoLine range. The automatic VE Commodore International sedan has a recommended retail price (RRP) of $33,990 driveaway. At just a $2000 premium, the Sportwagon variant will have a RRP of $35,990 driveaway.

will join the special edition International pack including the Commodore Omega sedan, which has been awarded a maximum five star safety rating from ANCAP. The result reflects the introduction of a steering column shroud energy absorber across the VE sedan range that helps to reduce driver knee injuries and a passenger seat belt reminder on the Omega sedan, introduced in October. These improvements are in addition to the front passenger side impact airbags and curtain airbags that were made standard across the range last year.

On the Road

■ From Page 39 The popular Sportwagon line-up will also be on display offering comfort, safety and styling, combined with sedan-like ride and handling. Since it was launched in July 2008, Sportwagon has sold more vehicles than any SUV in the market, ensuring Commodore remained the best selling vehicle in Australia for the 13th consecutive year. The Holden stand features an Omega Ute fitted with dual fuel LPG and demonstrates how the new LPG system is cleanly integrated into the Ute’s tub liner.

recently received a four star ANCAP safety result. The result reflects structural improvements and the addition of front side impact airbags as standard across the updated Barina hatchback range introduced in August 2008. Barina is joined by the fuel efficient Astra CDTi Wagon, the sporty Astra SRi Turbo three door, the stylish Astra CD hatch and the stunning Astra TwinTop.

■ Two versions of the popular Captiva are on the stand, demonstrating why this vehicle has become one of Australia’s best selling SUVs. The 2WD Captiva SX diesel, which combines the five-seat space of a medium SUV with segment-leading fuel economy (7.2 litres per 100 kilometres manual, 8.5 litres per 100 kilometres automatic) and the AWD Captiva LX. Both vehicles feature traction control, active rollover protection, electronic stability control and curtain airbags as standard.

■ GM Holden is showcasing the value-packed mid-size Epica sedan, available as a fuel efficient four-cylinder turbo diesel engine with a six-speed automatic transmission with active aelect, electronic stability control (ESC) and six airbags standard across the range. The introduction of significant safety features such as ESC and six airbags as standard across the range compliment an already comprehensive list of safety features, which includes ABS, traction control and electronic brake force distribution.

■ The powerful Colorado 4x4 light truck delivers high levels of performance and load carrying capability with the turbo diesel engine delivering a three tonne braked towing capacity. Offered in a wide range of body styles, engine types and specifications, the Colorado delivers durability, power and features.

Small car range: ■ Joining the all-new Cruze will be a selection of Holden’s small car range, including the upgraded three door Barina which

■ The Holden EcoLine range offers consumers affordable solutions to tackle rising fuel costs. An LPG Commodore sedan and Ute are showcased alongside the fuel saving technology of active fuel management. AFM enables an eight cylinder vehicle to automatically operate on four cylinders in certain driving conditions and is standard on all automatic V8 models in the Holden range. GM Holden is the first local manufacturer to develop this technology, which in certain driving conditions can deliver fuel savings of up to one litre per 100 kilometres, with potential for even better results at constant cruising speeds. Diesel vehicles including the 2WD Captiva SUV, which boasts segment leading fuel efficiency, and the mid-size Epica will also be on display.

■ ON SITE: Phil (left) and Jim Rosenthal on the site of the soon to be completed car wash. Photo: SUPPLIED

Car wash nearing completion BERRI is edging closer to having a high technology car wash, with the new development set to open next month. The site, located on the Old Sturt Highway, will be home to a four bay car wash, which will also include a dog wash facility. Phil Rosenthal, of Rosenthal’s World of Motoring, said his company is looking forward to opening the long awaited development. “All the latest laser technology will be installed,” he said. It is expected the car wash, which is the first stage of a major development at the site, will be opened in the latter half of April. “It’s part of the overall development that will see a dealership open on the same site,” Mr Rosenthal said. “Building will start (on the dealership) in the next three months and it is expected to be completed in the latter half of 2009.” The new building will be home to Rosenthals’ Holden, Mazda and Mitsubishi dealerships.

Tavern Talk 4x4

Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves? ~ Robin Williams

with TONY WHATELEY AND DANNY HANRAHAN

Paul’s a true competitor PAUL Newcombe is the only local to race every event held at Loveday 4x4 Adventures. Not only that, he also holds the fastest time for the mud drags, something he says is his best moment in racing. Paul works as a welder for JMA Engineering, a skill that has come in handy in building and maintaining his race vehicle. It started as a FJ55 Toyota but is hardly recognisable after its transformation. The body work was ripped off and put aside, making room for a six point roll cage that Paul built himself. Out came the old Toyota ‘donk’ and in went a 351 Cleveland Ford V8. AMDG Trucking in Renmark helped out with a few engine components along with a Barry Grant Mighty Demon four barrel performance ‘carbie’. Paul also locked the rear diff. Paul then strengthened the standard leaf springs and fitted a set of Bilstien shockers on the front, Old

Man Emus on the back and shod the girl with Mickey Thompson 35� Baja MTZs. JMA Engineering, from Berri, supplied the steel for all the original bar work that Paul also designed and made himself. Then it was off to Riverland Powdercoaters in Berri to have the lot rust proofed and painted. Once all this was done, River Graphics in Renmark finished off the look with graphics and sign writing. Paul races hard and the mean green machine is a crowd favourite but with hard racing comes a few hard knocks and broken bits and pieces. Once again, River Murray Auto Wreckers in Barmera has assisted with supplying parts, especially on race day. So often in the past they have helped out drivers on race day, assisting them to continue racing and entertaining the crowds. Who would have thought auto wreckers could play a role in Riverland tourism?

â– COMPETITOR: Paul Newcombe has competed in every event held at the Loveday 4x4 park and (inset) holds the record for the fastest time for the mud drags. Photos: SUPPLIED

Alternative Energy Engineering has been designing, manufacturing and installing solar power systems across the nation since 1984. Initially the company worked from a modest backyard shed in Morgan but now operates from a much larger 700m2 workshop and office at Cadell, while the electronics deptartment is based in Mt Barker. Solar powered systems can supplement your existing power source and reduce ever growing electricity bills, or supply all your power needs. John specialises in designing systems to suit individual applications which need little or no maintenance. With generous government rebates available for installing a system to run a household, the idea is well worth considering, according to John.

show. Coming from a position in Canberra as a speech writer, Nadia rubbed shoulders with many politicians in the halls of Parliament House. “I love politics,� she said. “I used to always go up to the press gallery in Parliament House and I just loved walking past people like Kerry O’Brien.� While feeling daunted at first, Nadia has revelled in coming to work in the town where her father grew up. “I lived in Adelaide my whole life, in the same house. It is nice moving to somewhere so beautiful and I love doing things on the river,� she said. Nadia’s job at the ABC involves reading news headlines and searching for stories and organising interviews. She is already feeling like a part of the community and said the job at the ABC will help her to do this. While she has had a few interesting moments in the Riverland so far, Nadia will always have a story to tell. “I’ve had a few crazy things happen, like my car broke down between Moorok and Loxton... and my phone was running out,� she laughed.

â– WELCOME: Nadia Clancy and Alina Eacott are excited to be working at the ABC. Photo: BRAD PERRY

ABC RIVERLAND radio has welcomed two new voices to the panel, Alina Eacott and Nadia Clancy, and both are excited about the opportunity to work in the region. While they are looking forward to their future with the ABC, they both face different challenges in their respective roles. Alina Eacott comes to the ABC after catching the ‘travel bug’ and spending the last semester of her university studies in Shanghai working for a weekly newspaper. “It was actually good fun, the Olympics were on when I was there and it was crazy,� she recalls. “It is very different to come from 20 million people in Shanghai to Renmark but I think it was just what the doctor ordered actually.� She also spent time travelling in South East Asia and parts of Africa and found that her travels have helped her to where she is today. “Once you start, you just want to see more and more places,� Alina said. “I’d love to go to India next.� In her role as a news journalist, Alina is hoping to use

all of the skills she has gained and put them into action on the radio. “The biggest thing for me, just coming out of university, is I finally get to put those skills to practice,� she said. At one stage, Alina moved to Brisbane to begin a career in dancing but decided to return home to study her passion, journalism. She comes from a family of sailors and is excited to be able to work and live by the river.

STAR STRUCK â– IN AWE: Barmera primary students took turns to chat on-line with Olympic water polo bronze medallist Amy Hetzel and (inset) the star of the show in action in the pool for Australia. Photo: JANE WILSON

Barmera students chat to Olympic medallist By BRAD PERRY AUSTRALIAN water polo player Amy Hetzel talked to the students at Barmera Primary School yesterday about her experiences while winning a bronze medal at last year’s Beijing Olympics. The live link up via the school’s interactive whiteboard was the sec-

ond time in two years the school students have been able to talk to a sports star, after interviewing Australian gymnast Shona Morgan last year. During the Olympics, students sent away pictures they had drawn to the Australian Olympic Committee to support their heroes in Beijing and as a result they were

chosen to participate in the link up with the gymnast. This year, the school applied to talk to a sporting hero again and were excited to be one of only three primary schools in Australia to participate. Health and physical education teacher Georgia Tzanavaras said it is an experience the children will

always remember and will help them in their future sporting endeavours. “It’s good for them to know that they have someone like that in Australia and that one day they can become one of them,� she said. ■Continued Page 33

Sue’s second coming By ROB McLEAN SUE Whitbourne will again coach the Barmera Netball Club in 2009. Whitbourne will be leading the club for a second time, having coached the club between 2001 and 2003. She replaces Jill HuckelHicks in the vital leadership role. Whitbourne predicts a tough season for her side, which has lost much of its A1 line-up from 2008. Among those absent will be Renee Book, Kylie Wilksch and Benita Dillon. “Several of those girls were all around the same age but have now got other priorities – and that’s fine,� Whitbourne said. The newly appointed coach said she would not shy away from the challenge of managing a youthful and inexperienced side. “I’m looking forward to developing some of those young players,� Whitbourne said. “I can see some nice talent coming through.� Whitbourne said Barmera would be developing a less predictable style of play for the season ahead. She said the players in this year’s team would have the opportunity to experiment and learn about the game. The club held final selection trials on Monday night and will be running with a large squad to allow plenty of movement between the A1 and A2 teams. “I’m looking forward to seeing these girls grow and giving them an opportunity to do so.� ■The first of our 2009 football and netball previews on Pages 36 to 38.
