THERE’S PLENTY TO SEE AND DO IN THE RIVERLAND AND MALLEE

Easter is the busiest weekend of the year, so it’s all aboard...

THE PS INDUSTRY

AS THE PS Industry paddlesteamer chugs rhythmically through the waters of the River Murray this Easter weekend, the busiest of the year, the vessel is crying out for some younger volunteers or it could be facing a much tougher schedule. The current average age of the Friends of the PS Industry committee is over 50 and it is a concerning sign for the future of one of the Riverland’s most treasured icons. Friends of the PS Industry chairman David Nattrass said the group is "ERRI 2EGIONAL /Fl CE +EALLEY 3TREET "ERRI 3! 0HONE &AX 7AIKERIE 3HOP 7HITE 3TREET 7AIKERIE 3! 0HONE &AX 2ENMARK -URRAY !VENUE 2ENMARK 3! 0HONE &AX ,OXTON %AST 4ERRACE ,OXTON 3! 0HONE &AX

REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY looking at organising a centenary trip in 2011 but may struggle to find a qualified driver for the vessel. “They (drivers) are becoming harder to source with most coming from outside the area,� he said. In fact, the man who will skipper the boat during this weekend has

flown all the way from Brisbane, a sign that the availability of boat drivers and volunteers for the PS Industry are dwindling. Mr Nattrass said Friends of the PS Industry has had very few younger volunteers over the years and most of them have only stayed on board for a week or two. “If we don’t attract members in the next few years, we will find it hard to continue,� he said. ■Continued Page 6

Tourist influx illustrates a point THIS Easter long weekend will further illustrate to the world at large that the Riverland is still alive and kicking and that so is the river. Over the past couple of years we have battled the perception that there is no water in the river and that our region is dying. While we are battling through a tough time, the Riverland still has a very strong heartbeat.

Lobby group devises 16 point strategy to manage Lake Bonney

Thinking about selling your water licence?

Locals hatch plan to protect lake’s future

Permanent Water Expression of Interest Waterfind is pooling expressions of interest from licence holders who are considering the permanent sale of their water assets.

By BRAD PERRY A GROUP of passionate locals worried about the future health of Lake Bonney have put together a 16 point plan to ensure it continues to be a living icon of the region. Working with the South Australian Murray Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board, the Lake Bonney Management Committee has consulted with people who have associated with the lake for many years to outline their views and options for the future. There has been ongoing concern for the health of Lake Bonney with its high salinity levels, altered flow regimes and pest plants and animals. Lake Bonney Management Committee Chairman Mike Fuller said the lake is a vital part of the Riverland and steps need to be taken to keep it healthy. “It is important to all of South Australia,� he said. “It is part of the ecology of the state. “It is important we do the best job we can to sustain the future of the lake.� Mr Fuller said the creation of the project brief, called Management Options Assessment for Lake Bonney and Loch Luna, is important to get those who are associated with the lake to have a say on its management. The project brief will be passed on to interested, qualified groups to study and assess

Our local knowledge and national networks put us in a strong position to find the right buyer at the right price for you. Contact Waterfind or download the Expression of Interest form from our website today. Submissions close 13 April 2009. 1800 890 285 www.waterďŹ nd.com.au

■TAKING ACTION: Lake Bonney Management Committee chairman Mike Fuller is one of the locals who has put together a plan to manage the future of Lake Bonney. and then it will be presented to the Berri Barmera Council. “It will obviously be guided by people with experience,� Mr Fuller said. “We will present a plan to council for adoption and source funding.� Mr Fuller said the committee members often have different views on the management of Lake Bonney and had to “be like a jury� to decide on the key

points for the project. “We have got to set aside personal thoughts and emotions and make our decisions based on our facts,� he said. The Lake Bonney Management Committee has applied to the Murray Futures fund for $100,000 to conduct the project brief. Defining conservation assets, best methods of implementing environmental en-

hancement programs and assessing ecological benefits, including salinity impacts, costs and water requirements are the three key points of the project. All these ideas have been included in the project brief and the next step will be for it to be analysed by qualified experts. “We want to make sure we have all the ideas analysed comprehensively,� Mr Fuller said.

RIVERLAND police have urged drivers to be smart and sensible on the region’s roads this Easter as motorists gear up for a busy period. The Easter break is one of the highest risk times for all motorists due to the increased amount of traffic on the roads and police said it is important that road users are highly alert and responsible during their Easter vacation.

Riverland police operations co-ordinator senior sergeant Andrew Jaunay said a safe Easter journey will rely upon patience on the roads during the busy time. “We hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter with plenty of rest breaks when driving,� he said. “Remember to not lose patience and expect the journey to take a bit longer. “Make sure to take rest breaks every two

hours and obey all road rules and respect all drivers.�

Remember to not lose patience and expect the journey to take a bit longer.

Snr Sgt Jaunay said preparation is the key to Easter travel on the

roads. Riverland police will be out in force on the roads during Easter and focusing on aspects which can be fatal such as excessive speed, drink driving, inattention and wearing seatbelts properly. “We are going to have dedicated patrols,� Snr Sgt Jaunay said. “People can expect to see a lot of police on Riverland road’s during Easter.�

Snr Sgt Jaunay believes people are often too eager to get to their destination and this is a major factor in many of the accidents on the region’s roads. “People driving for too long and driving in a tired state� are other factors Snr Sgt Jaunay is urging drivers to be aware of. He added that people need to be patient when following a slower vehicle.

POLICE NEWS Cat rabbit-trapped A MAN from Barmera has been reported for illegally using rabbit traps after a member of the public reported to police that there was a cat caught in one of the implements. While the cat was not injured, Riverland police seized the rest of the man’s rabbit traps.

Glenside escape A MALE person was detained under the Mental Health Act after it was revealed during a hearing at the Berri Magistrates Court that he had run away from the Glenside mental hospital.

Windows re-damaged FRONT windows were smashed at a residence on Eyre Street, Barmera, after recently being repaired from another incident. The damage occurred between March 31 and last Monday and police urge anyone with information to call Bank SA Crime Stoppers on 1300 333 000.

Multiple arrests RIVERLAND police made four arrests last week in a number of different circumstances. A 32 year old man from Renmark was arrested last Saturday for allegedly breaching community service orders and was also charged with hindering police after he ran from officers. A 17 year old Berri youth was

arrested last Sunday for assault causing harm after an alleged incident on a property in Loveday and in a seperate incident a 52 year old man from Berri was charged with being on a premises unlawfully. Also, a 48 year old man, formerly of Paringa, was arrested on Saturday for breaching a restraining order.

Vehicle reports A 24 YEAR old Renmark man was reported for allegedly driving unregistered and uninsured after he lost control during a wheel spin and crashed into grape vines on Storey Avenue in Renmark. Riverland police immediately seized the vehicle and placed it in a police compound. In another incident, a 36 year old Renmark man was arrested for allegedly driving unregistered and uninsured with a disqualified license. Another man, aged 22, from Barmera was reported for allegedly misusing his motor vehicle and recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.104%. His license was immediately suspended and Riverland police seized and impounded his car. All three alleged offenders will appear in the Berri Magistrates Court at a later date.

Stay but no pay A 23 YEAR OLD female from Berri was arrested for leaving without making payments after staying in two different accomodation businesses in the region.

Livestock theft increase IT appears to me that allegations of livestock theft are on the increase. A recent report on March 31 indicated that 500 sheep had been stolen at Lochaber, near Naracoorte. I understand that nationwide, rural crime costs more than $70 million per annum. As a former Police Minister I was monitoring reports on stock theft and I am aware that, before my time, a specialist stock squad was decommissioned. Yet, I believe Western Australia and Queensland maintain stock squads to this day. My letter to your readers seeks a response from farmers and graziers on the merits of re-establishing a dedicated stock squad. Please call my office with information on 8237 9122.

Donation issues THE Apex Club of Renmark would like to thank the residents of Renmark and the Riverland for their generous donations for the Victorian bushfire appeal in February. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the donations except for toiletries and electrical goods were not sent to Victoria, as they had nowhere to store them. The club decided to donate the rest of the goods to the local branches of St Vincent De Paul’s. The Apex Club of Renmark believes they are a worthy charity and that the donations will go to good

use and we hope that you do too. Once again we thank you for your generosity and hope you understand. The Apex Club of Renmark.

Bowls changes? THERE is a lot of talk around about changes to Riverland bowls for the next season. One is changing first division from four rinks of four players per team to three rinks of four players per team. Bowls is one of a very few sports in the Riverland that is increasing in numbers and here they are looking at reducing the number of players playing at top level. The reason for this is to get another team into first division and avoid the bye that we experienced in the season just completed. Okay, so no one likes the bye, me included. The other thought is to make the lower clubs on the table stronger, which it will but the top clubs on the table would also be stronger, so you would achieve absolutely nothing except having four players per first division club not getting a game each week. Four players from each of the seven first division clubs at the present equals 28 players missing out to put in a side of 12 players a result of minus 16 players playing top level bowls. We should be looking at ways of increasing numbers not reducing them. I hope that a lot of serious thought is put into this before any rash decisions are made for the future of bowls in the Riverland.

As I stated before we are one of very few sports in the Riverland that are increasing in numbers. I believe this would be a backward step for bowls in the Riverland and as the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Bill Dopson, Renmark.

Spectacular floral show ANOTHER wonderful weekend in your town of Berri for the Riverland Floral Spectacular. As exhibitors, we enjoyed the event, which was well organised by a willing band of helpers headed by John and Anne Menzel. I am sure all exhibitors, from near and far, shared our feelings and intend to return next year. As regular visitors to Berri, we again availed ourselves of local produce, stayed and dined in the Berri Resort Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday night dinner at the Cobby Club. The benefits to local businesses would have been quite considerable as some people had an extended stay. I believe a worthy cause, The Flying Doctor Service, will benefit because of the local support. The mayor, Mr Peter Hunt, made trophy presentations and attended the dinner on Saturday night. Great to see. Congratulations to all concerned in the promotion of the Floral Spectacular and the Riverland in general. Graham and Lorna Heinrich, Mount Barker, SA.

Safety precautions encouraged ahead of winter travel

S

GIC is encouraging holiday makers to check the condition of their caravan, particularly the axles and tyres, before heading north this winter. According to SGIC research, more than one in 10 claims for damage to caravans is the result of wheels falling off while the caravan is moving, or tyre

blowouts. SGIC State Manager Lee Jameson said caravan owners should ensure they carry out a full maintenance check before embarking on winter getaways. “Many caravan owners may now be planning trips to head north and away from the cooler weather,” explained Ms Jameson.

“It’s extremely important caravan owners do a full safety check before they set out, including making sure axle and wheel bearings are sound and all tyres are in good condition, to reduce the likelihood of an accident. “We know from experience that tyres can deform if they remain in the same

position for an extended period of time under the weight of the van.” Ms Jameson said the vehicle towing the caravan should be of the correct size, weight, and have adequate power to meet legal requirements and also comfortably negotiate all road and weather conditions.

SGIC recommends some simple tips for caravan safety: • Ensure wheel nuts are tightened to manufacturers’ torque specifications. • Wheel bearings should be checked for rust or damage and be correctly packed with grease to ensure they do not seize on your trip.

• Ensure braking systems are mechanically sound and free of rust. SGIC Touring Caravan or Trailer insurance provides cover for flood and storm damage as well as assistance with emergency repairs, towing and temporary accommodation if required.

Relax on the open road with our great value Caravan Insurance. A road trip – the perfect time to enjoy the good life. At SGIC we want to make sure life stays good. Enjoy a No Claim Bonus of up to 60% (even if you’ve never had caravan insurance before) and our reduced premiums to over 55s will also put a smile on your dial.

Medals donned with pride By BRAD PERRY WAR MEDALS were worn proudly by children as hundreds turned out for this year’s Anzac Day march in the streets of Berri. War veterans acknowledged the extra Anzac Day march as an opportunity for Riverland children to participate and represent those who fought and are currently serving their country. Carl Vogelsang, who performed national service for the Royal Australian Engineers from 1953 to 1955, believes it is important for the children to get involved. “Some of the teachers are Vietnam veterans, so they are able to educate the children,� he said. “It is great that children are being encouraged to get involved.� Ten year old Berri Primary School student Kiara Rowland wore the medals of her ‘Poppa’ Rex and her mother, Jo Rowland, said it was important she was able to march. “It is especially important because he died this year and he normally marches every year,� Mrs Rowland said. Berri Mayor Peter Hunt praised the event and said more people marched this year than last. “It just shows a bit of appreciation,� he said. “It is great to see the schools support the march and returned soldiers and the (Riverland Brass) band. “It gives them a little bit of an education of what happened in the past.� Locally based Australian Air Force Cadets were also at the march and said they will also participate in the regular Anzac Day march on April 25.

“I think it allows schools to participate better and gets the younger generations involved,� cadet Kate Eckermann said. “There will be four of us with rifles that stand around the cross.� The march is done earlier than the usual Anzac Day Dawn Service on April 25 because it enables children to march who may be away in the school holidays.

Berri Primary, Our Lady of the River, Glossop Primary, Glossop High, Monash Primary, Winkie Primary, Riverland Special School and the Riverland Christian School were involved in the march. As the children marched down the streets of Berri, they were paying tribute to war veterans for their bravery and courage on the battlefront.

Gym proposal under review By LES PEARSON BERRI Barmera Council is reviewing the professional gymnasium portion of the proposed Berri Indoor Recreation Centre after public feedback reported the possible building of a private professional gymna-

sium in the town. Council chief executive officer David Beaton said it was not in council’s interests to be competing against a private development. Council has recently requested $15 million of Federal Government funding through the

stimulus package to build the indoor recreation centre. Mr Beaton said if the funding application is successful, then council will certainly reconsider its position on the professional gym component of the plan. He expects to know if the funding

proposal has been successful or not within the next two months. Despite the gymnasium review, Mr Beaton said he was confident the project will remain on track given the timeframe between now and the funding being available.

All aboard the Industry ■ From Page 1 “We encourage people to come out but how do we get people to do it. “You can’t grab their arm, twist it and say ‘you will stay’.” Looking to the long term, the PS Industry has just overcome $65,000 worth of repairs to its boiler and will now face the challenge of an ageing volunteer base. “The long term outlook is the same as with any other volunteer organisation,” Mr Nattrass said. “Our youngest members at the moment are 40 years of age.” While Mr Nattrass said the current group of volunteers is dedicated to maintaining the PS Industry, it will only get harder if there is no one to fill the shoes of the committee members when they retire. “It is an historical old vessel, it’s grand and we would love to keep it operating on the water and it is essential we keep it going,” he said. “We are a dedicated group of volunteers that maintain the vehicle under the wings of the council.” When he moved here for work in 1968, Mr Nattrass fell in love with the steamboat and has since dedicated much of his time to keeping it up and running.

He now hopes others may find themselves in the same boat. Friends of the PS Industry vice chairman Bob Sheppard shared similar views. “One of the main problems is to get qualified positions of skipper and mate,” he said. “Without a mate we can’t do a trip of more than one hour.” Mr Sheppard said the group currently has members outside of the Riverland who come to the region ocassionally but more volunteers will help ease the burden on others who have several roles. “The more volunteers we have, the more we can rotate and it will give us more options,” he said. “We need younger people to take an interest in it, it’s not all hard work.” For the Riverland icon, Easter is the busiest time of the year and it sees up to 500 people board the vessel, bringing in much needed funds. Mr Sheppard said the paddle steamer will require continued work and the group is hoping to replace the boarding on the upper deck, meaning funds from the Easter schedule will be vital. If the PS Industry was not able to run at Easter in future years, it would be a blow to one of the most loved tourist attractions of the Riverland.

We would love to keep it operating on the water.

Easter carnival fun at Berri By BRAD PERRY THIS Saturday, Vaughan Terrace will burst to life as the Berri Easter Carnival injects some seasonal cheer and colour into the Riverland. The long held Easter tradition will boast some of the region’s finest foods and entertainment and promises to be an event not to be missed. The carnival starts at 7am with a free breakfast

and will be followed by a spectacular parade of local fashions at 8am and live entertainment by well known local band Froth, Bubble and Squeak to get everyone in the Easter spirit. Kids will enjoy the entertainment choices which include a free bouncing castle, Kiwi the Clown, balloons, the Singer Car Club static display, face painting, a gymnastics display and the Great Aussie Bush Show.

The event has been running for many years and is organised by the Berri and District Business Association to help support local traders, some of which will open their doors during the Easter break, and to the local community. Berri and District Business Association vice president Robin Foley said it has been a great Easter tradition and hoped the event will be well attended. “It just gets people in a

fun mood for the rest of the day,” she said. “I think it’s a great tradition and it is amazing how many locals and visitors are there.” The carnival costs more than $5000 to put on and includes support from many of the businesses in the area. “These free breakfasts are unique to these country towns,” Ms Foley said. “The place should really be buzzing.”

Riverland ready for tourists By BRAD PERRY THE Riverland is gearing up for one of its biggest ever Easter breaks, as holiday makers pour in from all over Australia and beyond. Accommodation in the region has been booked out in quick time, with people still desperately trying to find a spot to stay along the beautiful River Murray for Easter. Big4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park is one of many accommodation sites in the region that is awaiting the big influx of tourists from Good Friday onwards. Manager Faye Bulmer said the holiday park has more bookings than last year and is expecting people to stay longer due to the school holidays following the Easter break. “It is increasing every year and our park has been quite busy since Christmas,� she said. “Once they stay here, they want to come back.� Accommodation managers believe this Easter tourism influx will help dispel any negative messages about the state of the Murray and show holiday makers what the region has to offer. “People are realising that our river is still quite full,� Mrs Bulmer said. “The four days over Easter will be phenomenal.� Berri Riverside Caravan Park manager Kay Kubenk said it is great to see so many people wanting to stay in the region and join in the festivities. “These people spend money in the town and the region,� she said. “We encourage people that stay in the park to visit attractions and other

MTA demands WorkCover action WorkCover must be overhauled immediately after yet another massive blow out in the unfunded liability of about $1.3 billion. “As an employer association, we are appalled by the latest result whichappears to be conveniently blamed on the global financial crisis,� MTA executive director John Chapman said. “The WorkCover Board members must seriously consider their positions.

“Already we are paying the highest average levy rate in the nation at three per cent – this is a direct cost to the payroll of employers and it is continuing to impact on employment and our competitiveness with other states.� Mr Chapman said there had been far too many excuses with WorkCover as it has gone from a near fully funded organisation, to one which has an

unfunded claims liability of $1.3 billion. “We believe there should be a full inquiry into WorkCover,� he said. “We have called on the State Government to commission an independent review into the performance of Employers Mutual, which had previously promised to deliver annual savings to the unfunded liability of up to $100m per annum two years into its contract.�

Mr Chapman said there was no evidence those savings have been delivered and indeed are now hidden by the most recent legislative reforms. “At the time, we said those legislative changes did not go far enough and now we are seeing the end result with the creation of huge debts, which unfortunately employers have to pay but the government has to be accountable for.�

By BRAD PERRY FOR many, Easter involves celebrating with plenty of chocolate but for the community of Cadell it is the time when the cockroaches battle head to head. The annual Cadell Harvest Festival, this Saturday starting at 3pm, has been home to the Cockroach Cup for the past six years and it will be another hard fought event this year. Organiser and track designer Gordy Gourlay said it is really hard to pick a winner before the race because there are often some late withdrawals. “There will be good racing, providing there are no late scratchings if I stand on one in the ring,” he said. “We have to make sure all their legs and feelers are all there before the race. “There are no handicap races that’s for sure.” The Cockroach Cup consists of two races of 20 insects and people are given a form guide to pick a winner. “It is just something that is a bit of entertainment for the kids and money for the community,” Mr Gordy said. “After the race some of the kids grab them and they don’t all come back. “I’m not sure if the parents let them take them home for Easter.” Preparation for the race is key as numbers are placed on the cockroach’s back and each insect is surveyed to see who could be in the best form. Mr Gordy said the hardest part is finding more than 50

This year it could be a battle to pick a winner with the newly added steeplechase meaning the cockroaches have an extra obstacle or two. “We are currently doing some fine tuning now by coiling some rope around the edge (of the ring),” Mr Gordy said. “I don’t think there will be any water jumps or anything

Mallee bank campaign begins pledge stage By LES PEARSON

By BRAD PERRY

manager Gavin Cousins and Mr Angel said the community response was optimistic. “On the night, nearly everything was positive, some people even filled out their pledges and put them in the bins on the night,� Mr Angel said. He said the community would have no real problem raising $5 million in business for the bank but the initial $500,000 in pledges will be the real mountain to climb. That aside, Mr Angel believes the venture to be a viable banking option in the community. “I think it’s a really positive thing,� he said. He said 50 per cent of the bank’s profits are used to run the bank and filtered back through to the community. “Other banks take what they get from you and take it away,� he said. If all goes to plan, the bank could be established in the area within 15 to 18 months.

Memories of days gone by in the area HAVING celebrated his 90th birthday, Berri resident Percy Lehmann has experienced some of the most significant events of the region and with a smile, still vividly remembers all of them. Sitting in his rocking chair, Mr Lehmann has a proud look on his face as he reminisces about spending more than 50 years of his life living in Glossop. During his lifetime he was involved in fighting the 1956 flood and the Glossop Primary School fire and was involved in the building of the first bike track in Berri. One of the many things he remembers significantly is fighting fires in Glossop before the town had fire trucks. “We started off very primitively,� he said. “Berri had a fire engine but not Glossop.� Mr Lehmann and his colleagues were the first to make a fire cart, which was used to carry tools to battle the flames. “The hand cart was the beginning of the Glossop fire brigade,� he said. “We had stand pipes and hoses that we couldn’t carry around, that is what the cart was used for. “I also had a hand in building the siren tower.� Forty-one years as a blacksmith saw Mr Lehmann involved in building trailers to transport grapes and he still recalls helping out the growers of past generations. “I always got the dirty jobs,� he said. “Back then all the wine grapes were carted by horse and trolley. “I helped to make those trollies which the growers used, it was really

important back then.� Mr Lehmann spent many years on school committees in Glossop and remembers the Glossop Primary School burning down. “If the residents and people of the district knew how high the flames would go, they wouldn’t of fought it,� he said. “It kept coming inch by inch and they beat it.� During the 1956 flood, Mr Lehmann volunteered to help people caught in the Riverland’s greatest flood, which rose to around 30 feet. “There were cars everywhere and the floodbank had broken down

a bike was the only transport, so we decided to build the track,� he said. “I use to have to water the bike track and then sweep it. “The cycle club was also instrumental in getting lights on Berri oval to hold night sport. “We had some jolly good nights, I can tell you that. “I also sold snags to raise money to build the Riverland Special School,� he proudly added. As Percy blew out the birthday candles on his cake recently, it is a breath full of vividly memorable moments of the region.

THE campaign for a Southern Mallee-based Bendigo Bank has entered into its community pledge stage after a public meeting last Wednesday in Pinnaroo. Steering committee chairman Richard Angel said it is an important step in forming the bank’s support base in the region. “It’s the first stage in ascertaining if the community want the bank or not,� he said. Mr Angel said the group is looking to raise an initial $500,000 in cash pledges and $5 million in business for the bank to be viable. He said if this initial response is positive, the next step will be a feasibility study before the bank is formed. About 60 people attended the meeting, including council representatives, business leaders, local sporting bodies and steering committee members. Mr Angel said the pledge stage could continue for anywhere up to four months, although once the figure of $500,000 is reached the project will move on to the next stage. The meeting was convened by Bendigo Bank SA and NT country development

Growers voice their issues By LES PEARSON

■DEMANDS: Shadow River Murray Minister wants equity in the allocation system. er is the lack of access to the river, or the lagoons where they used to pump their water from and the quality of the water. “They don’t have an option, they can’t even buy water in because they can’t even access it, that’s the biggest issue with this end of the river below Lock One.� The Currency and Langhorne creek pipeline, a new irrigating scheme recently made for growers at the lower end of the Murray, also came up. “People just can’t afford to buy into the scheme,� Mr Pederick said. “They have to pay around $1000 a megalitre to have access to how many megalitres they can afford but they can nowhere near buy enough

SHADOW River Murray Minister Adrian Pederick was on hand at the Karoonda Farm Fair last week allowing growers from around the region to voice their concerns to a fellow farmer. With water allocation equity high on his agenda, Mr Pederick said he will be fighting for fairness in the system “I’d love to see a lot more equity, especially in regards to what the eastern states get in water allocations,� he said. With allocations for high security water at 95 per cent in the Murrumbidgee system, 100 per cent in the Darling and 35 per cent in Mildura, Mr Pederick said he was frustrated with the situation in South Australia. “The question is why are we still on 18 per cent?� “I know there has been critical water allocation purchased by the government but there is just no equity in the way water is allocated throughout the Murray Darling Basin.� With thousands flocking through the gates over the two days of the fair, Mr Pederick said he certainly developed a sense of what is on growers’ minds. “We had quite a few constituents to talk to, so it’s been good,� he said. “I guess the biggest issue for people this end of the riv-

water to do what they need to do. “For someone with a 700 megalitre license, it’s just too much.� Mr Pederick said dryland farmers also have their issues but believes growers appear to be more hopeful for a good year. “The dryland farmers have got concerns but they’re a pretty resilient bunch,� he said. “Obviously they’d like to see a good year and certainly you would think it’s time we had the wet year for both the dryland farmers and irrigators. “I think the main thing dryland growers want aside from growing a good crop is a fair price. “The profit margins aren’t there like they used to be.� Overall, he sympathised with primary producers across the region with the current water situation and said he will be fighting for them. “A lot of tough decisions have been made and a lot to be made as to what people will do with their future,� he said. “In a sense, people are being made to spend money or just give up. “I want to make sure the people who choose to leave the industry, whether that be irrigators or dryland farmers, can do so with dignity.�

Local volunteer turns unwanted grapes into significant charity donations

Sunburnt grapes have silver lining By BRAD PERRY THE harsh sun has had a massive impact on vines around the region this year but grape picker Val Wasley has still managed to find a silver lining. Val has made good out of the grapes’ poor condition by collecting the ‘ends’ of each row of vines, drying the grapes and then selling them to Angas Park to make money for charity. Val is employed to pick grapes in the morning and then stays back in her own time to collect the unwanted grapes. In her third year of drying the grapes at Bookpurnong’s Western and Son property, Val said there are many charities who receive her help. Val undertakes the massive task with her brother, Geoff Sluggett, while she also looks after her seven adopted children. Western and Son supervisor Amanda Kloester said it is a great

effort by Mrs Wasley to put in her own time out of hours to collect the grapes. “Val does it voluntarily and Brian (the owner) doesn’t mind her doing it,� she said. “She works outside hours and on weekends picking the unwanted grapes off the vines.� Last year, Mrs Wasley remarkably made $19,000 from the dried grapes and the money was donated to a number of charities all over the world. “All those who are involved choose a charity for the money to go,� she said. “Last year it went to the Family Planning Association, Bible Society, Vets Beyond Borders and the Church of Christ overseas aid fund that goes to orphanages.� The pickers also play their role in making sure the bad grapes are left on the vine and do not end up on the ground. “We try to leave it on the vine for Val to pick,� Mrs Kloester said. Western and Son owner Brian

■ VINTAGE: The Singer Australian National Rally will be held in the Riverland this weekend. Photo: SUPPLIED

Singer stars on tour By CHANTEL JORDAN THE Riverland will be home to the Singer Australian National Rally over the Easter long weekend. The Singer Car Club of South Australia will be hosting the event, to be based at the Berri Resort Hotel. Event organiser Rob Martin, a member of the Singer Car Club SA, is expecting a good crowd to see the historic cars. While the cars are touring the Riverland, they will be visiting Berri, Loxton, Renmark, Cobdogla and Banrock Station. Cars will range from

1960s sedans to 1930s sports cars. “There will be all Singer models,” Mr Martin said. Victorian sports cars, saloon hard tops and convertibles, conventional sports cars and 1934 identical Le Mans racing car models are just a few among many that will be on display. Registration will begin at 2pm tomorrow at the Berri Resort Hotel and the tour will finish at Banrock Station on Sunday afternoon. The tour will visit Berri tomorrow night and Saturday morning, Renmark and Loxton on Saturday,

Cobdogla on Sunday and Banrock Station on Monday. “We selected the Riverland because there’s good attractions in a closer area,” Rob Martin said. “There are a few nice drives.” The rally tours Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia every two years and visits South Australia every eight years. The rally has only visited South Australia three times since it started. The rally toured Adelaide in 1985, the Clare Valley in 1993 and Mclaren Vale in 2001.

Karoonda FARM FAIR 45 years committed service from Ray and Lynette helps build event

Labour of love for local couple By LES PEARSON THE Karoonda Farm Fair marked 25 years last weekend. While that is a significant milestone, it is matched by that of fair manager Ray Bald, who has been involved with the event for 25 years. Ray and wife Lynette, collectively have contributed about 45 years service to the event. The event itself started as farm conferences based around sheep farming, which soon became the Karoonda Sheep Fair. “We’d get more advisors there than we’d get people, so we decided then to have something that was practical,� Mr Bald said. The change was made to the Karoonda Farm Fair. “The whole event has just progressed, evolved basically to the standard we’ve got it now.� “It’s the biggest event in the Murraylands.� Ray has his own reasons for his involvement with the event. “I enjoy negotiating to achieve a result,� he said. However, it’s wife Lynette that

he bestows a great deal of credit upon. Mr Bald said her clerical and bookkeeping work has helped grow the Farm Fair’s reputation for being well-organised. “Part of the promotion of this event and why exhibitors keep coming back is that it is so organised and we have her to thank for that on a large capacity,� he said. “She is not a limelight person at all, just likes to do her thing,� he said. He said the Farm Fair committee is strong but needs younger blood to come through. “Like everything else, we’re struggling for numbers but I certainly have a very close nucleus of people and I call on a few others besides to help me out with certain jobs,� Mr Bald said. He remains extremely proud of the event and what it has become. “It’s been a baby that I’ve nurtured and you never get bad publicity about it,� he said. “If you get positive feedback from people with no connection to it you must be doing something right.

“We bounce a lot of ideas off of each other and we’ve fought very hard to ensure that this event is regional, not just Karoonda so that’s made it stand alone,� he said. “It’s still the Karoonda Farm Fair but it’s representing the Murraylands.� Come sundown though, taking the time to sit back and ponder on the events of the weekend have

“It is the event that Karoonda hangs its hat on, otherwise it was a town you would drive through to the Riverland. “Now, it’s the Karoonda Farm Fair, people know the Karoonda Farm Fair,� Mr Bald said.

proved beneficial in the past. “Our best decision making was always after the event leaning over an esky on the back of a ute over a beer,â€? Mr Bald said. “We made a lot of very good decisions then.â€? Mr Bald also looked back on memories connected to the event from years gone by. “Changing to two days was a highlight, leading into the weekend,â€? he said.â€? “One of the bad highlights was two days of 40 plus degrees. “That was in ‘94, two days of 40 plus degrees, it was hard work‌bloody hard work,â€? Other changes included introducing more attractions to keep the crowd coming back. “We’ve had to diversify and go to some more entertainment,â€? he said. “For a town of 300 people, to attract 10,000 people you have to bring them from a long way away and when they get here they have to enjoy themselves. “The word of mouth is the best selling point we’ve got. “We go to other field days and pick the eyes out of them and they do the same to us.â€? As for the Farm Fair’s future, Mr Bald holds a positive outlook for the event. “The event has a strong future providing we can find some active replacement committee, some young people,â€? he said. “It’s got a reputation, it’s got everything going for it, it just needs a better succession plan. “It just needs people to get involved and we’re working on it.â€?

Karoonda FARM FAIR

Satisfactory attendance for fair By LES PEARSON ABOUT 8000 people flocked through the gates at the Karoonda Farm Fair on Friday and Saturday. Fair manager Ray Bald said he was satisfied with the turnout given it was competing against other events in the region, including the National History Machinery Association rally in Murray Bridge. “Yes, we were happy with that figure considering the amount of other activities in the area for the weekend,� he said. The weather was generally fine throughout, especially Saturday, although wind and some light drizzle kept some patrons away from the Friday night entertainment.

■CROWD: About 8000 people flowed through the Karoonda Farm Fair gates last week. Mr Bald said the reptile ral Resource Management awareness display was very Board and Mallee Health popular, as were the fire ex- Services. “Also the great support tinguisher demonstrations and the children’s enter- from very loyal exhibitors,� Mr Bald said. tainment area.

Murray Area School placing second and third. The yard dog competition held under lights drew plenty of support as well, making that event quite successful. The fashion parades were, as always, popular, filling the marquee on each trip down the catwalk. The Stihl Shop from Murray Bridge was awarded best site for the whole Farm Fair. Mr Bald said overall he was happy with the event and how it worked. “We were pleased the way the event was supported by both exhibitors and the general public,� he said. “Unfortunately we had some stiff competition in the district for both days of our event.�

Tips for the tongs from a hot plate guru By LES PEARSON BARBECUES are a huge part of Australian culture. Yet, as many times a barbecue is enjoyed, there would be a large number that have failed epically. Murray Bridge barbecue guru Phil O’Connell last week provided some tips to Karoonda Farm Fair visitors on how to handle the hot plate. His fascination with the barbecue began at an early age, being the youngest of six children in the family growing up on a rural property. “We were out on the farm so dad was on the tractor, or off doing something and mum wanted a rest, so we got landed with it,� he said. His continued passion for the tongs and spatula is a common phenomenon. “I think it’s a man thing isn’t it?� he asked. “You get to show some of the skills you can’t show in the kitchen.� Starting with the basics, Phil launched into the first big tip when cooking a barbecue. “The secret to a barbie is cook slow – except for your steaks, that’s when you’ve got to have it red-hot.�

■DEMO: Phil O’Connell educated the crowd on proper barbecue techniques. “Sausages and rissoles, the slower the better.� Lamb chops also get a regular work out on the barbecue and Phil sticks to his slow-cook theory. “You can not ruin a lamb chop,� he said “If you ruin a lamb chop, you have to start learning again.� Working out what to cook and when is another issue barbecuers face.

“Time management is very important with a barbie,� Phil said. “Always cook everything else first and leave your steaks for last, because they are only a minute thing.� He uses rice bran oil because it doesn’t smoke and can cook to a higher temperature than other oils traditionally used on the barbecue. Phil said those cooking a barbecue are commonly bound by stereotypes on what can be done on the hot plate. “Anyone can cook a sausage on a barbecue but they never think to go outside the square,� he said. “That’s why I thought I would do something different.� In his demonstration, Phil cooked up mini dim sims, salt and pepper chicken fingers and delicious garlic and parsley prawns. “You can do them on a barbie and they’re great finger food,� he said. “It’s a novel thing, that’s all.� His personal favourite is doing roast pork in the weber, but he also enjoys cooking racks of lamb in the weber on Saturday. “There’s nothing you can’t cook on a barbie, or in a weber, you can do it all,� he said.

FTER 25 years in the trade, Tony Yard knows his way around a building project. Tony, whose business is Yard General Builders, specialises in extensions and renovations and has seen many trends come and go in his time in the industry. He concentrates on

providing prompt service and good quality work that ensures your job is done the way you want. “A lot of people want quotes from builders to be returned quickly and we attempt to have them delivered within two weeks,� Tony said. In some cases a verbal estimate can be quoted at

first consultation. “Promptness is very much a part of the job,� Tony said. “I listen to the client and find out what they want changed to help them achieve their dreams.� Tony said the process of extending or renovating a house can be expensive.

However, he works hard to eliminate additional costs and hidden nasties where possible. “We attempt to reduce the costs but still provide a quality service and value for money,� Tony said. “There’s no point in allowing jobs to go over budget. “In today’s environ-

e selected Tony Yard to build our home extensions because of rave reviews we had heard from previous clients, because of his quick response to their initial enquiry and his helpful, friendly nature from day one. On completion of our building, we found all of the above to be correct and more. Tony and his team have

provided us with our dream home because of their high quality workmanship and ability to ‘share our vision’. From the initial drafting stages to handover day, they were very professional. They were very flexible and allowed us to make decisions along the way, always taking on board our suggestions. We were also able to use our own contractors if

requested. Most importantly, they were very accommodating to work around our family. Nothing was too much trouble. After hearing many horror stories about renovating, we can honestly say our experience was fairly smooth sailing. Thank you Tony – you really have turned our dreams into a reality!

Setting off your home with a new look S

â– MAKEOVER: Rendering a brick home (inset) can make an older home not only look great but increase its value at the same time. Photos: SUPPLIED

OMETIMES a beautiful home needs something else to set it off, to separate it from the rest of the street. Yard General Builders has the creativity and ingenuity to ensure that your dreams, no matter how out there, can be achieved. Tony Yard enjoys listening to his clients’ ideas and turning them into reality. “If people want raked ceilings or something unique, we can do the job,� Tony said. “We also do features and other special requests. “It’s up to whatever the customer wants.� Change is as good as a holiday, why sell when you can renovate or extend? Yard General Builders can knock out a wall to make a room bigger and more enjoyable or put in a new kitchen to make dinner parties that much more special. A revamped bathroom will make your home sparkle and add substantial value to your home. Even difficult jobs, those ones that other builders will not touch are

welcomed by Yard General Builders. Sometimes the materials required, or the shape of the building being renovated, can be a reason for a builder turning down a job.

We can source special materials such as antique glass and tiles.

No such worries with Yard General Builders. “We can source special materials such as antique glass and tiles,� Tony said. “If it’s an old style home, we can match the materials.

“When we do an extension, we try and do it so you would not even know it’s been extended.� Yard General Builders also do reroofing or put in

heated flooring if that is what you desire. The choices are endless, so if you have a dream, you need to contact Yard General Builders.

NSULATION can make all the difference in a home, new or old. With government rebates being introduced in coming months, it is certainly worth considering taking advantage of the generous opportunity to add some value and comfort to

your home. Tony Yard, of Yard General Builders, is encouraging people to consider the benefits of insulating their home. “The rebates aren’t officially available until July,� Tony said. “But it might be a good idea to get an early quote and fitting

before the mad rush starts. “Once the rebate becomes officially available it will be a very busy time among builders.� Insulation fitted after February 3 will qualify for the rebates. “It’s a great reason to

improve your home, help to reduce your electricity bill and benefit the environment with reduced emissions from your home,� Tony said. Meantime, Yard General Builders also do insurance jobs and are happy to provide a quote where necessary.

Located on Jane Eliza Estate, new managers Andrew Freeman and Ed Johnson are excited about the opportunity to further develop the Tower Tavern as a popular venue. Andrew Freeman brings a wealth of experience and hopes to cement the Tower Tavern as a popular spot to wine and dine in the region. Mr Freeman has worked in the Riverland

The Tower Tavern offers an affordable dining experience and Mr Freeman said talented and experienced chef Ashley Crouch will continue to cook quality meals. “A lot of people do come here because of the great food he cooks,� he said.

Mr Freeman has already extended the wine list which offers an extensive range with a mix of local and imported wines including Penfold’s, Angove’s, Annie’s Lane and Mallee Estate. “There is now a bigger range and variety,� Mr Freeman said. Local wines take pride of place in the Tower Tavern and you will see several classic names on offer. Mr Freeman is also looking to put some patio heaters on the balcony to keep patrons warm while they take in the exceptional views during the cooler winter evenings.

Tower Tavern - The Riverland's hidden gem

Tower Tavern It's worth dropping in for a drink or a meal just for the view alone. The popular schnitzel night on Thursdays and Fridays seafood night will continue and Mr Freeman hopes to offer some light entertainment on the weekends in the future. “We want to entice people to come back,� he said. “On the weekends and Saturday afternoons, we might look at having a one piece (musician), just something light." Beer prices are very affordable with the bar being well organised and a great spot to enjoy a quiet drink. The Tower Tavern also has 28 pokie machines in the gaming room, which is located away from the dining area and offers complimentary tea and coffee. Good service and good value are two of the main things Mr Freeman will be looking at developing as the new manager and hopes the Tavern can gain a reputation as a place you have to visit. “The idea is that it is going to be an alternative,� he said. The location is an advantage for the Tavern which offers wide open views of the River Murray and its thriving river life, including the majestic black swan. Mr Freeman is hoping to attract more houseboats to the mooring spot next to the tavern, so they can stop and have a bite to eat. “If they don’t want to cook, they can come up here and have some lunch,� he said. Service is the top priority for the Tavern and Mr

Stomp fun THE Riverland Weekly hardly set the world alight when it took part in the Loxton North Primary School’s Great Stomp last Friday night but at least we had fun doing it. Our stomping team has already been scheduled in for more practice in order to prepare for next year’s event.

Gallipoli display at Pinnaroo T

HE Letterpress Printing Museum is one of the many highlights for the family to experience at the Mallee Tourist and Heritage Centre. A number of unique displays depicting life in a rural community makes this a must stop destination when visiting the region. The Gum Family Collection display offers restored stationary engines, tractors, farm and household memorabilia, all with a backdrop of a panaromic Mallee mural. Over 1000 cereal varities are present in the DA Wurfel Grain Collection and you will be impressed by the dryland farming display with the theme ‘Conserve the water - conserve the soil’. There is also a Mallee Women display, which focuses on the contribution of women during the settlement of the Mallee region. Do not miss the ‘Spirit of the Mallee’ clay plaques on concrete motor tyres bearing information explaining the various aspects common to Mallee communities. Until April 25, a special Gallipoli display has been set up and is another great feature of the Heritage Centre. The volunteer based centre is open for three hours daily from 10am to 1pm and is a must see during a visit to the Mallee.

Comprehensive steam history H

OME to the only working Humphrey Pump in the world, the Cobdogla Irrigation and Steam Museum is a great trip into the early history of the irrigation industry. You will be lost amongst the records and history this museum holds and will admire the displays of working engines, machinery and national

trust displays. Loveday Flyer, as it is known is one of two 24 gauge locomotives that were used in the development of the area. These days it takes visitors around the museum but in 1921 it was used to carry pipes and concrete and remove sand and stone from the soil. The Humphrey Pump is the major icon of the

museum and only fires up a few times each year and Easter Sunday is one of them. This is an event that is not to be missed. The trains are also a must see part of the museum and you will be amazed at the history it encompasses. Gates will be open between 9am and 4:30pm on Easter Sunday.

EING an additional house with a use no longer needed, the vendor says this house must sell! While situated in a quite little street across from one of Loxtons most premium private schools, and only minutes from the street, my vendors request will definitely be answered. First home buyers, investors and retirees, this home is an absolute must see. This solid 3 bedroom home with a brick Maritz construction features funky roman blinds, while carpet roams throughout the living and sleeping zones although with floorboards underneath why not pull up an polish for an equitable lift. The large lounge has a functional fireplace under a mantle, while there is a r/c air conditioner for all year climate control. The kitchen has floor

and overhead cupboards, vinyl floor coverings and a huge dinette to accommodate the table for formal meals. The bathroom has both a shower and bath along with floor and wall tiles plus a vanity for the storage of all your grooming necessities. Outside is a extremely deep allotment with a fully fenced backyard with rear lane access and a concrete based lockable shed for the

HIS is the perfect home for that growing family. Situated just outside Renmark on ½ an acre is this well presented three bedroom home with teenage retreat. All bedrooms have

ducted air and are fully carpeted. The home has a great kitchen/dining room with tiled floor, double stainless steel sink, gas cook top, electric oven and large pantry. Outside is a great enter-

taining area for when guests drop by. There is a large amount of shedding, a fully fenced back yard, 2 ½ rain water tanks plus too many other things to mention. A must see.

THE Department for Environment and Heritage (DEH) is encouraging the community to rediscover the unique wonders of our national parks this Easter. DEH’s John Schutz said SA’s national parks are among the best in the country and provide opportunities for people to explore and reconnect with nature. “There are more than 300 parks and reserves in South Australia and I encourage the public to get out there and take advantage of what our national parks have to offer,â€? he said. “When visiting our national parks, there are a few important tips to consider. “The fire danger season fire restrictions are still in force in most regions and wood fires or solid fuel fires are prohibited in the majority of parks. “No fires are allowed on days of total fire ban. “Fire restrictions are put in place for the safety of everyone, so it is important for the public to be vigilant when camping and visiting our national parks. “If people are unsure about what fire restrictions are in place, they can look on the DEH Parks website, contact their regional DEH office, or call the CFS hotline on 1300 362 361.â€? Other general tips to consider when visiting national parks are: • Camping fees apply and

Environment & Heritage MATTERS

can be paid at self-registration stations or park offices; • Camp in designated campsites; • Respect wildlife and its habitat; • Leave your pets at home; • Only drive on designated tracks; • Take your rubbish home with you; • Keep to the speed limit. The DEH Parks website, www.parks.sa.gov.au, features visitor information about many of South Australia’s national parks, including facilities, recommended activities, trail closures and fire restrictions. The Murraylands region has many beautiful and interesting parks to visit over the Easter break. DEH suggests: • Dust off the camping gear and head to Murray Riv-

er National Park to explore the river, floodplain and wetlands. • Take some time to follow the Ngak Indau Wetland Trail. • Take a canoe to Loch Luna Game Reserve and paddle the Chambers Creek or Nockburra Creek Canoe Trail. • To escape the crowds and enjoy a wilderness experience, visit Danggali Conservation Park, camp among black oaks in one of the park’s many campsites, and take the Nanya Pad Interpretive Drive. • Chowilla Game Reserve offers excellent opportunities for camping, fishing, canoeing and bird watching. • Go searching for unique Australian plants and wildlife in Ngarkat Conservation Park. The Tracks of the Mallee brochure (available to download from the ‘Publications’ section of the DEH parks website) provides a map and excellent driving and walking trails to explore. Note that Border Track in Ngarkat Conservation Park is usually closed each year during the fire danger season, however, it has been opened for the Easter break. Fire restrictions are in place until next Wednesday. For further information, go to www.parks.sa.gov. au or contact the Murraylands Regional Office on (08) 8595 2111.

Average water price rises THE average price of temporary water in the southern Murray Darling Basin during March was $295 per megalitre, an increase of $15 per megalitre since the previous month. Waterfind reports most temporary trades are currently occurring between $340 and $350 per megalitre, however

there is still some variability in prices outside this range. “Overuse during the warm February period, together with buying for carryover, has resulted in increased demand recently as growers look to secure water in the lead-up to the end of the season,� Waterfind chief executive officer Tom Rooney said.

Mr Rooney said the March and start of April allocation announcements brought little change in the volume available to growers across the southern Murray Darling Basin, with the Goulburn system being the only one to receive an increase during this period.

Autumn planting the way to go By TAHLEE NEILSON IT HAS always been common practice to think that spring is the best time to spend in your garden. But I don’t think this is the case. The majority of us have grown up with a European based garden philosophy with spring being the main growing season and the best time to establish new plants and we think that plants stop growing over the winter months. As we have all experienced over the past few years; this is not Europe. We have such harsh, hot summers and lovely warm days during winter that I think it is better to get out and do the hard yards in the garden now. Because of our warm winter days, many plants in the region don’t stop growing, therefore they are still trying to establish throughout the winter. By planting in autumn you will be giving your plants more time, at least six to nine months more, to establish before the hot weather sets in again, with the exception of frost sensitive plants. Also, winter is the time that we, fingers crossed, receive the majority of our yearly rainfall and we all

â– SUITED: Due to our climate, deciduous trees grow well throughout the year. know how much better plants tend to respond to rain than irrigation. Autumn is also a great time to get out and see what all the deciduous trees (trees that drop their leaves) that grow well in the region are doing. This will allow you to plan for their arrival at the nursery in winter during the

bare root season. Getting the soil ready now will give them the best start in life. Gardens full of these types of trees are great for the climate we live in and add a lot of colour and interest to a garden. They provide shade during the summer, reducing air-conditioning cost for homes and keeping the soil cooler and moist, reducing the need for extra irrigation. In turn during winter, when they have shed their leaves, they allow the warmth of the winter sun into your home, reducing heating costs. Many varieties of deciduous trees do well in our hot summers and cope really well with moderate to heavy frosts. They are not restricted to just ornamental trees but also include many fruiting trees such as stone fruit, apples, pears, nuts, figs and berries. By buying deciduous trees during the bare root season, you will be purchasing trees during their most optimal time of planting and you also receive value for money as most trees arrive already five plus feet tall and at a very affordable price, providing instant impact in your garden.

The breaking of the enforced dormancy, new life after the ‘death’ of winter. In Australia, we have, instead, harsh summers, bushfires, drought and flooding rains. All on one continent, all on one day. It just doesn’t seem to matter what catastrophic event occurs, our Australian plants just bounce back straight away. A landslide can devastate a town and within weeks acacia species are growing to cover the scar. A horrific bushfire can raze towns to the ground and shatter communities,

Some seeds lie dormant for years, living tissue suspended in time, germinating just at the right time to produce a mighty river red gum or an annual with a life only long enough to produce another batch of seed. So, in the middle of a ‘drought’, at the end of summer or over this Easter weekend, go into your garden or a patch of scrub somewhere and just watch for a while. You’ll be enthralled at the abundance of new life. ■NATURAL: Banksia cones are hardened survivors. Photo: SUPPLIED

THE cooling effect, fire retardant and dust trapping ability, combined with the self repairing aesthetic appeal of natural lawn, means it is still a necessary requirement around homes. It is still possible to have a more affordable natural green lawn without over watering, breaking our new laws and causing environmental damage. Here in the heart of the Riverland at Waikerie, Agritech Irrigation together with Turf Supplies have developed the solution for you and its innovative design is gaining attention right across the state. Three varieties of lawn, including conquest, fine leaf kikuyu and soft leaf buffalo are being grown at a Waikerie turf

farm. Grown under an SA Water complying turf irrigation system, these hardy varieties are rising in popularity during these tough times. No pop up sprinklers or manual watering is required with the tech line system that has been developed by Netafim and is supplied by Agritech Irrigation. The system allows you to liquid fertilise while you water and uses less than eight litres of water per square metre, per irrigation. With filtering, grey water can be used in the easy to install and maintain dripper system. You can see the tech line and turf samples on display at Agritech Irrigation, 1 Blanchetown Road, Waikerie, 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

Tennis season wraps up ■ FINISHING minor premier has not been converted to a premiership for many of our 2008/9 sporting teams and tennis has been no exception, right down to junior ranks. In the boys division one BerriView Blue finished the minor round second and took the grand final 7-3 over fourth placed Loxton Gold after the Loxton side had eliminated minor premier Cobdogla narrowly 6-66 to 6-63 in a semi-final. Division two went according to script when top ranked Loxton won 4-2 over second placed Cobdogla but in division three Monash (third) knocked out ladder leaders Cobdogla Kites by three games in a semi-final and then went down themselves by only one game in the premiership decider to Barmera Hawks 3-35 games to 3-34. In division four, two Barmera teams headed the table and a super tiebreaker was required before minor premier Magpies snared the premiership from Cats after they

were locked on 3-26 each. Minor premier, Berri-View defeated Barmera Tigers 4-2 in division five. Division one girls went to third placed Waikerie 8-4 from top side Barmera and division two to minor premier Cobdogla convincingly 6-0 from Barmera. In division three Barmera (second), upset ladder leader Moorook 5-1, top side Renmark grabbed divvy four 5-1 over Barmera and in division five, the curse struck again as top ranked Renmark went down to Monash, second 4-2.

Juniors popular ■ THE 2008/9 season for junior tennis has been tremendous with team numbers at a record high and officials predicting further growth ahead. The introduction of a Riverland Junior Grand Slam has been an instant success with a surprising number of visitors choosing to enter.

The final round of the Slam to be held at Barmera on April 16/17 has attracted over 70 entries. Meanwhile, one junior who has impressed in the event so far and also with Renmark Tintra in division one senior tennis, David Strongman, has taken out the prestigious Darnley Taylor Sportsmanship award. Other award recipients for junior tennis with most singles wins include: Boys - Ashley Solly, Marcus Drogemuller (Berri-View) with a 10-0 season in division one, Brenton Reid (Moorook), Adam Drogemuller (Berri-View) division two, Ben Drogemuller (Cobdogla), Henry Baker, Joe McKinnon (Barmera) division three, Josh Spilios (BerriView) with 11-0 in four, and Blake Koskinas (Barmera) 9-0 in five. Girls - Ainslee Graetz (Moorook) returned 11-0 in division one, Bailey Miller, Jesse Gregory (Cobdogla) were best in division two, Moorook trio Katelyn Maddigan, Sarah Harrington and Sarah-Jane

Albrecht in three, Lauren Charnstrom (Monash), with 10-0, in four and in five Renmark’s Alicia Grant also had an 11-0 clean sweep.

Moorook capitalises ■ THE Moorook second division players must be pinching themselves after grabbing the premiership by six games 6-89 to 6-83 against Berri-View. Remember Moorook lost in the semi-finals but got a reprieve and fought through to the ‘Big One’. And what a whopper it was with a number of cliffhangers, including four tiebreakers, three of which went in Berri-View’s favour. The division one result was far more decisive with Renmark Tintra’s predicted supremacy in the women’s section and men’s upper positions proving the difference in a 9-3 scoreline against Loxton Black.

Olympic outgunned Rose’s local redemption ■ MILDURA’S 2008 premiers Three Colours defeated Renmark Olympic 4-1 in the final of the 2009 Challenge Cup in Mildura on Sunday. Defending champions Olympic reached the final after receiving a forfeit from Berri River Rangers, which for various reasons could not find sufficient players to form a team for the final day of the competition. In a hastily scheduled practice game in the time slot Olympic drew with Mildura City 2-2 while on an adjacent pitch Three Colours got out of jail against a more impressive Irymple Knights, when a goal

scored with only moments remaining in the contest was its ticket to the final. Although appearing to more than match its opponents in skill and class, Olympic looked flat against Three Colours and a lack of speed was exploited in fast breaks from long balls by the Mildura team’s forwards. Bari Singh scored the Renmark goal. In an all Riverland clash, three goals from classy forward Peter Sarakinis led Barmera United to a 4-2 win over an improving Renmark Development side, Manuel Mantzoros providing both of the young squad’s goals.

■ FOUR of the six local fighters who took part in last Saturday night’s Riverland Boxing Tournament in the Tucker Hall at Renmark won their bouts. The Loxton Gym’s number one man Paul Rose, reversed a 2008 result to defeat highly ranked Victorian Etto Korrobo in a 75 kilogram elite open bout. Bradley Wilson, after some narrow defeats in his career, won against Adelaide’s Matthew Bell in 75 kilogram youth open, Matthew Wilson defeated an older opponent, Victorian Jack

Gow to head to World Champs ■ POWERLIFTING SA’s world record holders Barmera’s ‘Pocket Rocket’ Rose Gow and Adelaide’s Nat Zacharko are both heading for England in September to compete in the world championships. Because of the considerable expense involved in making the trip, both ladies will also incorporate a holiday into their time away but according to Powerlifting SA chief Don Juers, they are both capable of making a huge impact at the world event despite the presence of competitors from countries like Germany, Italy, the USA and England. In fact Juers rates both of his star performers as real chances for a world title. Gow will compete in the Masters 2, 45 to 49 years, 50.5 kilogram division in squat, deadlift and bench press and as someone who can lift three times her body weight is rated right up there with the best of them. Zacharko is a bench press specialist and will compete in that competition in the Masters 3, 50 to 54 years, 63 kilogram division.

■ HEADING ABROAD: Barmera’s Rose Gow will be heading to England along with Nat Zacharko to compete in the world championships. With an exceptional 75 kilogram press behind her, she also could have some extra weight amongst her luggage in the form of a major trophy when she takes off touring after the championships. Selection in the national team for the world event involved firstly attaining qualifying performances and then applying to the national body for inclusion. The SA association held its first competition for the season, the annual David

Graham-Dean Bennett Memorial event at the Barmera Recreation Centre last Saturday with the home town’s dynamic duo, Val, approaching 80, and Trevor, near 83, Vanstone amongst the outstanding performers. In fact Trevor, along with Rose Gow took out the best overall lifter awards, while others to take home trophies included Lee McKinnon, Gale Fiebig and Adelaide pair Zacharko and David Thomas.

■ Paul Rose Carlin, in 45 kilogram novice, and promising Loxton junior Ryan Goodes also tasted victory against his Victorian opponent Ashley Bobin in 48 kilogram junior novice.

The two boys to miss out, Ali Iqbal and Sadiq Rajabi, who came from Afghanistan to Renmark, were both having their first bout and (amidst tremendous encouragement from their supporters in the crowd) impressed with their sportsmanship and enthusiasm. Organiser Phillip Goodes reported the 14 bout program ran smoothly and he now looks towards another tournament in a couple of years after receiving so much positive feedback from Saturday night’s good sized crowd.

Meta measures up at speed sail ■ BARMERA windsurfer Meta Sindos finished sixth overall and fourth fastest for the nautical mile amongst a strong field of 32 competitors at the Burrum Heads speed sailing event late last month. It was a great effort considering he was restricted by flight baggage regulations to only one board and two sails, whereas the

local sailors, many amongst the best in Queensland, had access to their full range of equipment. Burrum Heads is some 30 kilometres north of Hervey Bay and features a six kilometre long sand bar which is exposed at low tide and makes for ideal speed sailing conditions with ultra flat water.

Bookie’s Cup final ■ WINNERS from the three heats of the annual Riverland Bookmaker’s Cup, Ronellie Rocka, Uno Jayde and Noble Quoted with the second place getters Deniro Bale, Benny Cash and Rock on Ron and the two fastest thirds Regatta Bale and Hattahpark Bond have qualified to start in Easter Saturday’s final of the event at the Barmera greyhounds. Reserves would then be the other third Double Edition and fastest fourth Second Edition. The box draw for the final looks super important, as in the heats none of the place getters started in alleys wider than four. And the winner of the 2009 cup is under heavy camouflage in an even line-up. Noble Quoted, from the Scott Kennels at Glandore, cannot be discounted from back to back Bookie’s Cups with impressive runs at Angle Park so far in 2009. We should also spare more than a moment to consider the two starters both leading trainers Shaun Matcott and Norma Millington have qualified for the race. Matcott’s Deniro Bale also has reasonable form at Angle Park over 515 metres this year, while Regatta Bale boasting 23 wins from 60 starts and winnings of $32860 has done even better at that track with two wins last month, one out of box one, the other out of box eight. Ronellie Rocker, 2008 Greyhound of the Year at the Barmera track, has been sound at Bendigo and Horsham for Millington, while Rock on Ron has also appeared at those venues but has finished further back in its races. Uno Jayde, 14 wins from 33 starts and a recent winner at both Port Augusta and Angle Park, Benny Cash with a recent success at Port Augusta and Hattahpark Bond make up a class field. As I said earlier, the box draw appears crucial but all things being equal perhaps Regatta Bale, Ronellie Rocka and Noble Quoted just stand out. Easter Saturday’s racing starts at 1pm, entry is free, catering is of quality and a bookmaker covers both the local dogs and the ‘neddies’ around the country.

Speedway double header has family appeal ■ THE Riverland – Waikerie Speedway double header for this Easter weekend has a real family appeal to it. The Riverland Speedway at Calperum Hill on Saturday night has 360 Sprint cars making an appearance after a long absence, there will be NOS and V6 Sprints, a round of the Junior Easter Stampede and Super Heavyweights together with the annual caravan demolition derby and the cardboard car race that proved so popular when it was introduced last year. Add a fireworks display and the tre-

mendous catering and there is something for everyone. Then on Sunday night, Waikerie’s Sunline complex also produce some adrenaline fuelled action. The 360 Sprints, juniors and 23 entrants in the modified sedans will also appear on the program together with Formula 500s, Street Stocks and Classics. Both events are fully catered with a licensed bar and affordable entry, so go down and enjoy a fast paced Easter.

Cycling tour returns ■IT IS official, the 2009 cycling Tour of the Riverland is on after organiser, the Norwood Cycling Club’s Barry Skinner, had some concerns that local economic conditions may affect support for the weekend. This will be the 35th annual tour and Barry has organised the lot of them. When he phoned me last Friday night he was obviously excited the highly ranked event would continue and

with GRAHAM CHARLTON

was glowing in his praise for supporters of the classic, particularly the Berri Resort Hotel, which has been a major backer from the outset and very much a nucleus for the weekend’s action over the years. This year’s event is on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 May. Skinner anticipates that a number of Australia’s leading cyclists will again be here for the highly rated

weekend. Lasdt year was especially memorable for the performances of two juniors, our local Matt Benson, who went on to take out the Riverland JuniorSenior Sportsperson of the Year double and Norwood’s Jack Bobridge, who has since emerged as one of the nation’s best riders. ■RETURNING: The Tour of the Riverland will go ahead this year.

Umpiring a family affair for Trussells ■TALK about keeping it in the family. Berri’s Mick Trussell, who in his youth before leaving for a seven year stint in Adelaide was well known locally as an ace basketballer, joined the RFL field umpiring panel for the first time in 2008 and went ahead very quickly to officiate in some A grade matches late season. I understand Mick’s inter-

est came from following his sons Kale, 12, and Zac, 14, in their role amongst the league’s boundary umpires. Now it seems wife Trish is also to run the boundary, while youngest son Hugh, only nine, also took on such a task in last weekend’s trial games at Berri after operating in under 13 grade last season. Saturday night will surely be take-away night?

Albrecht Cricketer of the Year ■AT THE Riverland Turf Cricket Association’s annual presentation dinner last Friday night, the senior Cricketer of the Year award went to Monash allrounder Jake Albrecht. A few years ago Jake would not have attracted the ‘allrounder’ tag, being better known as a batsman but he has developed his medium pace bowling to such an extent that in the 2008/9 minor round he grabbed 16 wickets at 9.81 apiece to go with his 349 runs

at 38.78. He also captured five Berri scalps in the grand final. A member of this season’s Team of the Year, Jake also enjoyed perhaps his best ever SACA Country Carnival in Adelaide as he continued to commit himself to the Murray Districts Barrier zone cause. The junior Cricketer of the Year award was shared by Waikerie Ramco’s Tim Bevan and Monash’s David Hankin.

Epic finish to Caliph test match ■A LAST ball six did not decide the result of the second annual Caliph Cricket Cup – a last ball ‘block’ did. After being involved in a last wicket 22 run partnership in four overs with captain David Francis, Jade Dorward is being lauded for saving the day with a fantastic last ball block and giving Caliph South victory. A bit confusing? Well it doesn’t matter as Test match number two produced another great family day with 20 players on each team and 80 people attending. The age of players ranged from 11 to 79. Played on the spinner friendly pitch excavated from a ‘hard patch’ on the Francis property last year, the Wunkar Cricket Club supplied mats to cover the wicket and Bomber Miller to umpire the cricket, while Wunkar Tavern operators Malcolm and Joan Loxton provided a penny for the coin toss. South made 152 in a ‘massive comeback’ to

win by three runs from North. For South, ‘Dipper’ Wooldridge made 27, Geoff Redden 24, Lachlan Hentschke 20 and Sam Durdin took 4/12 while for North it was 32 from Matt Leigh, 25 from skipper Kenton Farr and 3/6 by Justin Zerke. Best players were Hentschke and Leigh, most improved Geoff Redden, best blocker Jade Dorward. While in the interests of brighter cricket Wooldridge hit three sixes for South and Farr and Leigh the same number for North. So enjoyable have the first two Caliph classics been, I doubted whether anyone would recall which team won the first clash but I was wrong - Farr regrets his North side is 2-0 down. He will spend the next 12 months pondering over the wisdom of batting or bowling first in view of some of the sloppy fielding that occurred as his players got tired.

At just 13 years of age, Abdulla was modest about his selection and said he scored nearly 200 runs in the local under 14 competition during the year. “It was pretty good,” he said. “I just like to play my cricket.” The modest allrounder was surprised at his selection but hopes to continue to further his cricket skills next year. Volleyballer Moore was selected in the state under 16 girls volleyball side after impressing at try outs in Adelaide.

Alagich orchestrates local soccer clinics ■ From Page 64 “It is not about trying to teach them fantastic new skills, I just want them to leave with a smile on their face and a positive experience,” he said. “I don’t actually say (who I am) now because I don’t play for Adelaide United anymore.” The Riverland is a place Alagich enjoys visiting and said the coaching clinics tie in with the beginning of soccer seasons around the country. “I like coming out to the regional areas,” he said. “There a Riverland regional

I just want them to leave with a smile on their face and a positive experience. “It is up to Football Australia and Football Federation South Australia, in particular, to tap these areas (for players).” Years reception to seven have been treated to the coaching clin-

“There is no secret formula or secret skills,” he said. “It is just a lot of hard work, sacrifice, commitment.” Touching on some of the highlights in his own career, Alagich

said being the games record holder at Adelaide United was pretty special. “Being the game record holder at Adelaide United, I think I am still, until Travis Dodd takes it over,” he said. Alagich also spoke about the feeling of playing in his final ever game. “That was probably my highlight last year when we qualified for the actual second round of the Asian Champions League in China,” he said. “That was my last game and we needed a point and we drew nil all, it was a good way to finish.”

Returning to the club are Cathy and Cora Johnson, who have played a big part in Brown’s Well’s netball success in recent seasons. Ms Healy expects the pair to be strong on court performers. Lyrup hopes to have A and B grade sides in the competition this year, in what is a considerable boost for Independent sport. “Football missed it (Lyrup not having a side) last year,” Ms Healy said. “It’s really important for Independent footy to have netball playing at the same time. Lyrup last played in an A grade netball grand final in 2005, while the B grade was in the 2007 premiership decider. Ms Healy is hopeful the club can be competitive in 2009. “We’ve got a strong A grade, our B grade will be young but hopefully they will be competitive,” she said. Meanwhile, the club is seeking more volunteers to help with the teams’ return to netball. “We’ve got some girls unable to play but who want to help the club and they are going to take on some roles,” Ms Healy said. “If anyone else is still interested, we would still like some more players and volunteers.” Contact Cheri Healy (0413 128 682) for more information.

Renmark football and netball preview

celebrate in style

we didn’t (make the finals). We’ve got the core of our team still, so there’s no reason why we should not be there. We will have to work hard.

Renmark netball guru Ann Noack is at the helm of her beloved club again this year, she talks to the Riverland Weekly about defending yet another premiership.

Team to watch ■Berri – they have picked up a bit. When you pick up two of the best players in the association in Kelly Moore and Tori Jachmann, that’s only going to strengthen them and they weren’t far off last year. Loxton won’t be far off it, you can’t write them off.

Gains â– Amy Leesue, Helane Gartner and Jess Nicholls are all back, while Kerri Griffiths has come from Loxton and will play in the midcourt.

Losses ■Leanne Menz is overseas on a teaching exchange in Canada. Lisa Smith has moved to Berri. We’ve covered our bases but the hard part will be to fit them all in.

Expectations ■Obviously to make the finals and to gel as a team because we are going to be a little bit different in our game plan this year. We will go back to the speed this year, rather than using height – that’s the plan.

â– IMPORTANT: Ryan Bennett will be an important player for opposition teams to stop if they are to beat Renmark this season.

Finals â– I would be disappointed if

We aren’t giving a thought to the centenary year, we just want to win a flag and it doesn’t matter what year it is. ■Q: Have there been

any off field changes at the club? Our social base will be back at the hotel. We have a new runner in Paul Matthews, a former premiership captain. Nick Gray will be team manager, which he did in 2005 when we won a flag. â– Q: Of your opponents, who will be the club and the players to watch this season?

I haven’t thought about it that much. I would say Ramco because we don’t really know anything about them. As far as players to watch, Luke Hefford is a good pacy player and Scott Huddleston at Wunkar is under a new coach and at a new club, so he will have a good year. ■Q: Which juniors are impressing on the track

ITSUBISHI Motors Australia Limited is proud to introduce the 2009 model year NT Pajero four-wheel drive range which adds an engine upgrade, cabin and exterior refinements, increased towing capacity and revised specifications to an already legendary driving package. The big news for the popular four-wheel drive line-up is the introduction of an upgraded 3.2litre turbo diesel engine across the entire range. Deemed the 4M41 common rail DI-D, the new engine gives the Pajero a significant boost in performance, producing 147kW of power at 3800 rpm and 441Nm of torque at 2000 rpm – an 18 per cent improvement in both power and torque over the former diesel model. At the same time, the 4M41 engine delivers superior fuel economy of up to 13 per cent over the previous model – a real consideration for customers given current fuel prices. A new five-speed automatic transmission with sports mode, lock up and intelligent shift control is available on selected diesel variants. Life on board the 2009 Pajero line-up has never been more comfortable. The 4M41 engine delivers new levels of refinement to the cabin and an enhanced noise insulation package (including additional sound absorbing material to key points of the vehicle) ensures increased driving pleasure for all occupants. And while the Pajero has never been a slouch when it comes to towing the family caravan or boat, the 2009 model year update sees all long-wheel base vehicles in the range receive increased towing capacity - up to 3000 kilogram from the previous model’s 2500 kilogram limit.

The Pajero continues to prowl

Street machine dream

■DREAM MACHINE: Nigel Battams’ Ford Falcon coupe is an award winning street machine. Photo: SUPPLIED

IT WAS his own interest and motivation that enticed Nigel Battams of Berri into the modified car scene. As a young teenager he began to notice a few of the “nice� cars around the region and began buying car magazines, however these were not your boring everyday car mags, they were hot rodding and street

machine based. He left school and started work in the auto industry where he gained a sound mechanical knowledge and drove a Datsun 1600 daily while he looked for the car that most appealed to him from all those mags he’d read. In the late 1980s, he found the car he was looking for at Hallett Cove, a 1965

Ford Falcon coupe that had been partially restored. He recalls his dad wasn’t impressed at the time as he felt there were probably better things to invest his money into; however I believe today that would be a different story as these cars are becoming more difficult to find and their value is rising steadily. As it looked reasonable with the new paint (but terrible panel), Nigel decided to drive it as it was but after a few mechanical dramas, including a fire, he decided to take it off the road while he planned a major rebuild. All those magazines read over the years built the image of the eventual style of car Nigel wanted; the look, the stance (how it sits on the road), the running gear and the interior. So the car was completely stripped to a bare body shell and sand blasted. The general body condition was sound, although the previous poor panel work was fixed by completely replacing the rear quarters with new ones, while any rust in the doors and front guards was repaired. It was then time to update the mechanicals, so XA Falcon disc brakes were adapted to the front, while a trusty 9� Ford diff with big drum brakes and running 3.5:1 gears were narrowed and fitted to the rear. A 302ci Ford Windsor V8 received a mild work over and was slotted into the engine bay, while a Ford C4 automatic transmission was modified with a shift kit and high stall converter to handle the extra horsepower. Twin exhausts of 2� stainless steel remove the gasses and the gears are selected by a B&M shifter. In the interest of long life for the engine, a custom made radiator with twin thermo fans was fitted as insurance in the cooling department. All the running gear and underside is painted in black so it’s easy to keep

clean, while the top side is painted in Atlas Grey two pack. This is set off with 15 x 7 Centreline Convo Pro wheels, while all the chrome has been redone and the stainless steel trim reconditioned. Updates to the interior include Suzuki Swift bucket seats, a full set of VDO gauges and a cd player, but most noticeable is the black and grey velour upholstery that really complements the complete package. Since its completion Nigel has driven the coupe to shows and events all over south eastern Australia where it has regularly featured in the awards. It’s never been trailered to a show and was even judged in the Top 100 out of 1000 entrants at the Summernats a few years ago. Some of the numerous awards received are Top Street Machine (Street Driven), Top Coupe, Engine, Interior, Paint. Nigel is quick to point out his goal is not awards but to have the car he wanted after reading all those magazines. I asked Nigel what he liked most about the coupe and how it performed. His reply was “the shape and body style is completely individual. “It goes really well and feels comfortable and solid to drive, I guess because it was originally built in an era where cars were to last, they were made from real steel.� Anything he would change? “If only I hadn’t thrown the original front split bench seat down the dump I would look at taking out the buckets and putting it back in�. As for the future Nigel said “now that the kids are old enough to enjoy the experience (and they absolutely love it), there’s nothing better than putting the Wiggles on the CD player and going out for a cruise. I’ll never part with it. One day the young ‘fella’ will take it over if you can still buy petrol then�.

Photo: SUPPLIED and maximise savings, and our staff can assist members with everything from travel and touring information to insurance quotes and membership advice.” RAA retail services manager Michael Kromwyk has praised the Berri office for its work and noted that the branch excelled against all of its allocated targets.

A revised product lineup is available and two new models – the entry level GL and the family oriented GLS - are added to the range. According to Robert McEniry, Mitsubishi’s president and chief executive officer, the 2009 Pajero range is adaptable in meeting customers’ needs regardless of their design, budget or lifestyle requirements. “The new Pajero represents a real-world improvement from the previous model and offers benefits such as an engine with more grunt, a quieter and more sophisticated cabin environment, greater towing capacity and an improved exterior aesthetic,” Mr McEniry said. “And when you add all this to the dynamite-value safety and performance package that Pajero has always represented - well, who could ask for anything more?” The 2009 model

year Pajero maintains Mitsubishi’s reputation for offering solid safety equipment on its passenger and off-road vehicles. With first-class passenger and driver safety, standard equipment includes active stability and traction control, driver and passenger SRS airbags, an anti-lock braking system with brake assist and electronic brake force distribution and the Mitsubishi reinforced impact safety evolution system. With its sophisticated Mitsubishi all terrain technology all-wheel drive system, Pajero is a capable, stylish, powerful and reliable vehicle for the four wheel driving enthusiast, the cross-over adventurer or the stylish suburban driver. The highly acclaimed 3.8-litre petrol V6 MIVEC engine will continue to be offered, along with a choice of both three or five door body styles, and the current standard fivespeed manual or optional automatic transmissions,

or the upgraded automatic transmission on the new diesel engine. In addition to the already comprehensive list of paint and trim combinations available for the Pajero range, a new colour taken from the European range and named Ironbark will now be available for GLX, GLS, VRX and Exceed models. Mr McEniry summed up the new 2009 model year NT Pajero as “an inspired update to a legendary vehicle”. “Twenty-five years ago, the Pajero forged its reputation as a rugged, go-anywhere four-wheel drive. Then it blazed a trail in terms of occupant comfort and driving refinement,” he said. “With these 2009 model year updates, the new Pajero can go anywhere, with more power, more efficiency, more comfort, more towing ability, and more efficiency. It is little wonder so many people ‘love that car’!”

with the community and understanding the needs of its members. “Many people are unaware that membership benefits extend well beyond roadside assistance,” Mrs Williams said. “In a climate where people are increasingly conscious of where they spend their money, it makes sense to utilise membership benefits

Love that Pajero

Local RAA branch scores THE Berri RAA office has taken out the organisation’s state prize for outstanding service and result for the first quarter of the financial year. The quarterly Sales and Service Award for District Offices was conferred in recognition of the office’s strength in sales and service achievements in the first quarter of the financial year. RAA district representative Iris Williams and staff members Bobbie Bland and Maria Scordo were thrilled to collect the performance award. “Receiving the award is fantastic news for our team at Berri who all work hard to know our products and our services thoroughly so that our members can utilise their memberships to their full value,”Mrs Williams said. “Official recognition of our efforts is the icing on the cake.” This is the second time in less than 12 months the Berri office has received the quarterly award, having also claimed the second quarter prize for the 2007/2008 financial year. The Berri team attributes its success to working closely

■ COAT TUGGER: Mahatma Cote is bringing his interesting take on life to the Riverland.

Wednesday 15th

IT was 1995 and Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh had just reached one of the hardest fought, most famous double centuries against a brutal West Indian bowling attack. Before Waugh could think about the last shot he had played, Greg ‘Fat Cat’ Ritchie was running towards him, beer in hand, shouting out praise for his mate. This was not an unusual act for Ritchie, the controversial former Australian test cricketer who played 30 tests, and he promises more great stories when he visits the Riverland as his Indian comedy character Mahatma Cote. His character, Indian sports guru Mahatma Cote, has been a much talked about figure since he made his way onto the media scene, touring with the Australian cricket team in the 1980s, appearing on the Rugby League Football Show, commentating on channel nine and more than 20 years on the radio. Ritchie promises to hold nothing back when he performs at the Renmark Hotel on Wednesday at 6.30pm, a show not to be missed. “It’s extremely controversial,” he said. “It is totally politically incorrect and totally blue. “I’ve never had one person go away saying it (the show) is s**thouse.” While not wanting to reveal too many details about the show, Ritchie said everyone who attends will get to hear the story of Mahatma Cote, his family and the ups and downs of Ritchie’s cricket career. Ritchie said the idea for Mahatma Cote came during a chat to cricket legend David Hookes who thought it would be worth a laugh. From there it took off and Mahatma Cote became a comedy household name and at one stage he even had his own brand of curry and attempted to begin a singing career.

BACK ON COURT Lyrup returns to netball fold

Former United star runs local clinics

By ROB McLEAN

By BRAD PERRY

AFTER a season out of Independent netball, Lyrup will be back on court this season. Lyrup Netball Club secretary Cheri Healy said players have come out of the woodwork for 2009, having missed being involved last season. A lack of players committing to the cause last season saw Lyrup as the only Independent club without a netball team.

ONE of Adelaide United’s greatest players has been in the Riverland this week, helping children in the region to fine tune their soccer skills in a number of coaching clinics. Adelaide United defender Richie Alagich, who retired last year, is hosting coaching clinics on behalf of Football Federation Australia to encourage children to play what is commonly referred to as the world game. “It is just trying to promote the game here in the Riverland to as many kids as possible,� Alagich said. “It is part of our obligation to reach grassroots football if you like, spread the word.� Alagich was a member of Adelaide United’s starting 11 in its first ever game in 2003 and was the first player to reach 100 games for Adelaide in all competitions. The coaching clinics were held over three days and reached schools in Berri, Barmera, Loxton and Renmark. Already Alagich has had some positive feedback, despite the fact that most of the kids do not recognise who he is.

It’s really important for Independent footy to have netball playing at the same time.

“A lot of people said they wanted to play last year but no one committed early enough,� Ms Healy said. “It wasn’t until after we’d pulled out that they piped up.� Among the returning players are team members from the club’s 2007 season, while other people are also interested in joining the Lady Lions. “We’ve got a few young girls coming up,� Ms Healy said.
