Specialist’s departure means local surgery likely to go...

UNDER THE KNIFE

By LES PEARSON

THE Riverland is bracing to lose its only resident general surgeon, Dr Arnold Seglenieks, one of only two remaining resident specialists in the region, as early as January

2010. Neither Dr Seglenieks or Riverland Health Services director Geoff Illman were in a position to comment about the situation this week. ■ Continued Page 6

Golf club wants help to stay green By BRAD PERRY A LOCAL golf club president believes Riverland courses should be included in the State Government’s Irrigation Industry Support Program

as clubs continue to spend thousands of dollars on water to keep greens to a playable standard. Waikerie Golf Club president Marty Burnell believes, like irrigators, golf courses are becoming un-

viable due to the amount of money spent keeping courses alive. “At the end of the day, the grass we grow is part of a business that needs to survive,” he said. ■ Continued Page 7

Mine in administration MINING company Australian Zircon has been placed in administration, a week after closing its Mindarie sand mine operations. Bryan Hughes, of Pitcher Partners, has been appointed administrator for the company and will front a meeting of creditors in Adelaide next Wednesday. Around 140 staff have lost jobs at the Mallee mine, which has stopped processing while a review of operational matters takes place. Some staff remain employed to undertake maintenance processes.

Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;day Riverland Golf course proposal very interesting

THE proposal, put forward by the Waikerie Golf Club, for golf courses to receive water grants to ensure the future of the businesses certainly is very interesting. On the surface it seems a fair request, as golf courses are a major part of our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry and bring in valuable financial benefits to the region. However, there would be

many people who would question the provision of funding for water to organisations that could essentially be considered as a hobby. It would be hard to see local irrigators, some of whom are club members, agreeing to the call for support either. Hopefully the golf courses can get by in these times, as it appears they will be battling to get any additional funding

Funding boost for iconic Riverland historical site

Olivewood receives funds for expansion By BRAD PERRY RENMARK ICON Olivewood Estate was a big winner in the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently announced heritage project funding, receiving $326,000 to build a visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; centre and car park. Project manager Max Burr, who has been a volunteer at Olivewood Estate for 20 years, hailed the announcement as a huge bonus for the popular museum and the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was extremely good because it is something we have wanted to do for a long, long time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all known what we wanted but have never been able to come up with the funds to do anything.â&#x20AC;? Olivewood Estate will begin building a visitor centre in January, in place of the current car park, which will include areas for seminars and exhibitions, as well as toilet and kitchen facilities. A new car park will also be constructed using the funding, along with a newly landscaped lawn area. Mr Burr said it is an opportunity to add to the current museum facilities and offer more for visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be huge for Olivewood and open up a whole other set up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the moment we have got two 20 foot containers packed full of memorabilia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be able to display and make a history of the museum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is going to be exciting.â&#x20AC;? Mr Burr added that the project will not only generate further tourism dollars but it could also

In a press release, Federal Heritage Minister Peter Garrett

said the heritage conservation work at the 10 sites is expected to create 47 jobs across the state. Minister Garrett outlined Olivewood Estate as a significant heritage listing for the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This remarkable building was the home of the Canadian-

born Chaffey brothers who were instrumental in developing the irrigation schemes of the late 1800s that turned the Riverland into Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fruit bowl,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is particularly fitting that their work be appropriately interpreted to educate visitors.â&#x20AC;?

Date set for Riverland drag strip start By LES PEARSON THE start to work on the Riverland Motor Sport Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drag strip edges ever closer, the club receiving preliminary approval from the Native Vegetation Council to clear the land.

Official approval is expected to be granted following Berri Barmera Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official submission to clear the land to build the strip, which is located on the Riverland Field Days site. Club president De-

nis Oates said the development approval is also reaching the final stages, with only the completing touches to be applied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They should be a mere formality,â&#x20AC;? Mr Oates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once that goes

through, council will submit the official application to Native Vegetation.â&#x20AC;? With all planning fast nearing an end, work looms on the horizon early next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the Easter period, we probably should

be able to make a start,â&#x20AC;? Mr Oates said. First in the pipeline for the physical works will be the clearing of the area, followed by the sealing of the drag strip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to do it all in one hit,â&#x20AC;? Mr Oates said.

By ROB MCLEAN BOOKPURNONG man Tim Baulderstone received the surprise of his life last week when he discovered a shed snake skin wrapped around electrical appliances in his kitchen. The snake skin was complete from to head to tail and had wrapped itself around two kitchen appliances, so that it could gain enough traction to escape its skin. Mr Baulderstone said he was, obviously, very surprised to find the snake skin on his

kitchen bench and was not too keen to start a search to see if it was still in his house. His discovery comes just as the Department for Environment and Heritage has warned the public to look out for snakes, especially while undertaking spring cleaning or gardening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember that now it is getting warmer, snakes will start to appear,â&#x20AC;? DEH animal welfare manager Dr Deb Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When cleaning or gardening, never put your hands in objects you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see inside,

or anywhere that a snake may be hiding.â&#x20AC;? Dr Kelly also warned snakes may be inside homes as they seek, food, water and shelter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If doors and windows have been left open, snakes may have come inside during the recent cool snap to find a warm spot to shelter,â&#x20AC;? she said. The doctor advised that if you find a snake on your property, contact a professional snake removal agency, which can be found under â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;snakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the White Pages.

Rose Week to blossom

By BRAD PERRY

TIGHT water restrictions have not deterred local gardeners from coming out in force for this year’s 15th annual Renmark Rose Festival, which starts on Friday. Seventeen gardens will feature during the festival, with seven of those new entries, and committee chairperson Helen Slade has been overwhelmed by the support considering the current drought conditions. “We are really quite surprised with the number of gardens we have got,” she said. “I thought people wouldn’t have been prepared to open their gardens because of the current situation.” Mrs Slade said the beautiful gardens on display show adversity over the current dry conditions. “The town gardens look fantastic at the moment, which is great considering they use recycled water,” she said. “Our gardens up here are gorgeous... the roses are looking really good at the moment.” In her sixth year as chairperson of the festival, Mrs Slade said it is a great opportunity for green thumbs to open their doors to the public and be rewarded for their passion and time spent to keep their gardens to a high quality standard. She added that the festival has also helped the local economy. “We know from what people tell us that we have been booked out accommodation wise,” she said. Mrs Slade said the festival always generates plenty of interest throughout the state and beyond. With a reputation as one of the nation’s top rose festivals, Mrs Slade said it is a great opportunity to get out and see Riverland roses in full bloom. This year’s event promises to be bigger than ever with guided walks, wildlife shows, cake decorating demonstrations, a mystery bus tour, giant garage sale and a ﬂower lunch with David Ruston amongst some of the events included in a hectic schedule. “It is our 15th year, so we thought we would go bigger and better,” Mrs Slade said. The ofﬁcial opening of the festival is on Saturday morning and will be held at the Jarrett Memorial Gardens for breakfast. The opening will feature stalls from the Riverland Farmer’s Market.

Judy’s garden inspired by Rose festival By BRAD PERRY SPLASHES of red, pink, yellow and orange are a selection of the ﬂower colours that inhabit Judy and Darryl Jones’ garden, which will be open to the public for the third consecutive year during the Renmark Rose Festival. It was the festival that inspired Mrs Jones to create her garden masterpiece almost 10 years ago and now she is looking to give back to the event. “I am giving back what Rose Week has given to me,”

she said. “It (the festival) is good for the Riverland and good for Renmark.” Mrs Jones admits keeping the garden to a top standard requires many hours of care and maintenance. “It is just absolutely full on and continuous,” she said. Over the years, Mrs Jones has adapted to the lack of available water by planting drought tolerant species. “We have got lots of geraniums, iris and agapanthus,” she said.

“I am pleased we live out of town because we catch all of our grey water in a holding tank. “There is no water wasted here whatsoever.” Mrs Jones’ garden is so beautiful that it was used as the backdrop to her son’s wedding and she said everyone is welcome to come and visit during the festival. The garden is located on Ral Ral Avenue and is open from 9am to 4pm every day during Rose Week.

Judy Jones’ gardening tips:

■ When you have to go from one end of the garden to the other, if you spot a weed pull it out. ■ Regularly apply mulch throughout the garden. ■ You have got to give your garden time and some love and attention. ■ Adding a theme to your garden can add to the overall feel (Judy’s is a rustic theme).

Community Bank committees ramp up pledge campaign By LES PEARSON ABOUT 3500 pledge forms will hit mail boxes in the Renmark, Paringa, Lyrup and Cooltong areas this week as the Renmark and Districts Community Bank steering committee ramps up its drive to support the development of a Bendigo Bank branch in the area. Committee chairman Dave Patty said the mail out has been added to the committee’s marketing strategy. “It probably should have happened a while ago,” he said. “We needed a better way for us to get out to our audience.” About $130,000 in pledges has already been made, mainly from local businesses, and while short of the $700,000

needed, Mr Patty is conﬁdent the pledge forms will encourage more of the target group to get on board. “We’re more about the mums and dads, the ‘every dayers’ that want to invest in both the town and its future,” he said. That is exactly what potential investors will be doing if they do join up, according to Mr Patty. “This bank will put money back into the community,” he said. Mr Patty said it is important for people to understand that the pledge forms are non-binding and are part of the process to gauge community interest. “Anyone who supports the concept of a Community Bank branch in Renmark and Dis-

munity Bank in Pinnaroo. Steering committee chairman Richard Angel said despite pledges slowing up, interest is still strong. The bank received more pledges at the recent Pinnaroo Show but most of the potential investors are waiting until after this year’s harvest

to see exactly how much they can invest. The bank’s agency will be ofﬁcially opened at the Pinnaroo Newsagency on November 5, while the ATM installation has been delayed until after Christmas while disability access is planned.

Rosenthal: Write to have your say distributing questionnaires to key locations throughout the town. Renmark is conducting a stall in the Renmark Shopping Centre and distributing questionnaires to the library, council, hospital, post office and the medical clinic. A stall to survey the community will be run at the Renmark Plaza in early November. “I encourage people to make direct contact with their local HAC or myself direct at Flinders University Rural Clinical School on 8586 1010 if they have would like copies of questionnaires,” Mrs Dix said.

By LES PEARSON CONCERNED Riverlander Kathy Rosenthal is preaching to all locals with concerns and wanting an input into forming the region’s future health services to pick up their pens and write to their local Health Advisory Council (HAC). Mrs Rosenthal said recent health complications experienced by her family have led to her greater concern for securing local health services. Amongst these are the falling numbers of medical specialist professionals, particularly general surgeons, anaesthetists and orthopaedic surgeons, the Riverland having none of these specialists in many cases. There is also an increased waiting list for local doctors according to Mrs Rosenthal. “It is an increasing complaint by ordinary Riverland people, that the standard appointment with their general practitioner can take in the range of six weeks to three months,” she said. “We need to support and encourage specialists, medical practitioners, pharmacists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, lymphoedema and rehabilitation therapists and the like to stay in our region. “I think the government really needs to consider what is going to happen over the next 10 to 20 years as the Baby Boomers are getting older and living longer but may re-

She is encouraging anyone else with similar thoughts to do the same. “This is your opportunity to express your concerns about the health services in the region.” HAC liaison Kerry Dix said apart from writing, residents can have their say in other ways. Loxton HAC has distributed flyers at key locations throughout the town. Waikerie HAC has mailed the questionnaire to households, while Berri Barmera is conducting stalls in the Riverland Central Plaza and

Health plan now under spotlight ■ From Page 1 Mr Illman did say, however, that he is “currently looking at service models post January”. If Dr Seglenieks does leave, the move will leave the region with just one resident specialist, obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Bruce Gilbert. Family First MLC Robert Brokenshire and Liberal candidate for Chaffey Tim Whetstone both believe the rapidly depleting number of resident specialists in the region is a sign the Labor Government is reverting back to the highly opposed first version of the Country Health Plan. Mr Brokenshire told the Riverland Weekly he is working on legislating State Health Minister John Hill’s promise to not downgrade country health services. “It is one thing to put out a statement on a press release but a press release is exactly that, it’s not law,” Mr Brokenshire said. “We’ve seen the treatment, disregard and contempt of country health by this government, that’s why I’m pushing this legislation. “I’m concerned there is no guarantee that, if the current government get over the line at the next election, it will re-introduce plan number one, which was a very bad country health policy.” Mr Brokenshire outlined his interests. “I want to see a return to resident specialists and surgeons,” he said. “At this stage, I’m still not seeing any improvements after the pressure from country communities to ditch the first plan.” Mr Whetstone believed the struggle to attract resident specialists relates to a lack of belief in the health plan. “The fact that the Riverland can’t attract a raft of specialist medicos is a reflection of the lack of confidence they have in the Country Health Plan,” he said. “The continued budget cuts and changes to policy and the lack of commitment to the upgrade of the Riverland Regional Hospital must have an impact on the decision to relocate, or stay in the region, of these much needed professionals. “A region must have good and reliable health services to be attractive for people to live in the area.” While Mr Whetstone did not directly support Mr Brokenshire’s push for legislation, he shared similar thoughts about locking in Minister Hill’s country health promise. “We must demand that the State Government makes an immediate commitment to health services in the Riverland,” he said. “They must stop talking about what they intend to do and get on with it.” Member for Chaffey Karlene Maywald dismissed the claims of switching back to the first country

■ Robert Brokenshire

■ Karlene Maywald

■ Tim Whetstone health plan as political spin. “I think it’s election time,” she said. Mrs Maywald said she is under the impression that Mr Illman has recruitment plans in place at the moment and as a whole, the Riverland has in the past achieved far better results in recruiting health professionals than a host of other country areas. She also deflected criticisms of the Labor Government’s treatment of country health. “I would remind people at the time the Liberals were in government, we saw significant reductions in the country health budget,” she said. Mr Brokenshire was a Cabinet minister for the Liberal Government when Riverland operating theatres were first closed due to funding cuts. “That’s why the Nationals are pushing the Royalties for Regions initiative,” Mrs Maywald said. “It has proven to be very successful in Western Australia.” Mrs Maywald said the Royalties for Regions scheme will direct much needed funding into country communities from South Australia’s growing mining sector. She added that both Liberal and Labor parties are heavily dictated to by metropolitan votes, with a high percentage of metropolitan ministers, driven by necessity to win elections, and as long as either of these have power, country people are likely to continue seeing such metropolitan favouritism.

Seasoned traveller reveals his top ﬁve By BRAD PERRY EXPERIENCED golfer and Waikerie resident Jack Sullivan has played at up to 600 courses in Australia and believes the Waikerie 18 hole course is one of the best in the state. For Jack, golf is a way of life and after retiring as a farmer and grazier years ago, he has been able to travel the country playing at a range of high standard resort style golf courses. However, when he returns home, the Waikerie course is the ﬁrst place he goes. Putting on the greens of the Waikerie Golf Club, Jack reminisces about the day he earnt the rare honour of achieving a par score on arguably the Riverland’s best course. “The set up of Waikerie is as good as any inland golf course in South Australia,” he said. “The construction of the greens and layout of the golf course is as good as it gets. “It is absolutely sensational at the moment.” Jack has played on all the major golf courses in Western Australia, Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and South Australia and enjoys the

lifestyle of golf. “I love the company of playing the game and I enjoy the spirit and self umpiring of golf,” he said. “You meet a lot of great people on golf courses.” According to Jack, the universal handicap system is one of the advantages of the game. “The handicap system is relevant to where you are at anywhere in the world,” he said. His wife, Faye, also likes the lifestyle of a travelling golfer, something the couple has been enjoying for the past 14 years. “She enjoys golf and enjoys the travelling,” Jack said. Despite travelling to all parts of the country, Jack still likes returning home. “I love Waikerie,” he said. “I think it is a town full of opportunity.”

Jack’s top ﬁve courses: 1) Barnbougle Dunes (north east coast of Tasmania) 2) The Glades Golf Club (Surfer’s Paradise) 3) Hyatt Regency Coolum Golf Course (Sunshine Coast) 4) Moree Park Golf (Sydney) 5) Palm Cove Golf Course (Cairns)

“If you haven’t got a green course, people don’t come and play.” Mr Burnell said there are not enough people that “jump up and down about golf” to try and push the State Government for some desperately needed support. While the Waikerie Golf Course has water provided by a newly constructed wastewater management system, Mr Burnell said the club still has to buy in substantial amounts of water. “The STEDS system provides us with 90 megalitres over the year,” he said. “To water the whole course we need 200 plus. “You have to spend the same amount of money on the course whether one person plays on it or 1000 in a week.” Riverland Development Corporation business development manager Alan Ling said Riverland golf clubs applied for last year’s critical water program and were not accepted. “It was deemed we didn’t qualify for it because turf was not regarded as a permanent planting,” he said. “It is very selective and very targeted at these essential permanent plantings.” Mr Ling said he believes golf clubs in the Riverland would be interested in pursuing a critical water type allocation to get through the current drought. “The golf courses in the region are small businesses that are impacted directly by the drought and in most cases there have been some hardships,” he said. “Nobody likes to see

■ HELP WANTED: Waikerie Golf Club president Marty Burnell believes golf courses deserve some form of government support to stay viable and green. the damage done through the lack of irrigation.” However, Mr Ling is realistic about the chances of golfers receiving critical water. “If golf courses were accepted, in that case you would get councils with sporting ovals and gardens and anyone with turf would be putting their hand up,” he said. “It is very political... all the golf courses would love to have it but so would everyone else.” According to Mr Ling, golf is an essential service to the region and helps bring in revenue. River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald said there was very little chance golf courses would be included in the Indus-

try Support Program. “Firstly, golf clubs do not have production trees,” she said. “The Irrigator Industry Support Program is speciﬁcally targeted at production tree plantings. “The principle behind why the program was established is to keep those trees alive.” Minister Maywald added that there are a number of growers and farmers who are not eligible for the program. “Dairy farmers who grow pasture for cows aren’t eligible either,” she said. “Even though they need water to grow the grass, the pasture cannot be considered a perma-

nent planting.” However, Minister Maywald acknowledged the drought’s effect on Riverland golf courses. “I do acknowledge they are a business affected by drought, so I would suggest applying for exceptional circumstances funding might be an option for the clubs,” she said. With five golf courses in the region, Waikerie Golf Club president Marty Burnell is optimistic about the future. “Where does golf go in the Riverland in the future?” “Can it sustain five courses? “I don’t think you could ever change it from five, barring misadven-

BDC member and MTA Riverland Chairman Kym Webber said “each town needs to stop competing for funds and services”. “The Riverland needs to market itself as one region, not

individual towns, to survive and prosper into the future,” he said. “All business owners and staff need to embrace customers and tourists to promote other activities and business in our region.

By having a solid knowledge of neighbouring towns, store owners and staff can recommend sites around the region to visitors,

ensuring longer stays and more dollars spent in the Riverland.

Calperum Station hosts 1846 re-enactment...

Pioneer Trail puts youths’ to the test By LES PEARSON ABOUT 50 youths from the Firle Stake of the Church of Latter Day Saints went bush recently when they re-enacted the famous Pioneer Trail journey at Calperum Station. Described by many historians as the most organised mass-migration in American history, the original Pioneer Trail trek took place in 1846. Some 70,000 members of the church walked from Illinois to form what is known today as Utah to escape persecution. Dressed from head to toe in early settler fashion, the youths walked with loaded old-fashioned handcarts, covering 51 kilometres over four days, 80 per cent of the total journey covered in the first two days of the original trek. Trail boss and church leader Brett Wilmott said the group was faced with some genuinely harsh surroundings, similar to those suffered by the pioneers. He explained the camp had a handful of objectives for young church members to take away from the experience, including learning and appreciating the pioneer heritage of the church and

■ ROUGHING IT: Youths from the Firle Stake of the Church of Latter Day Saints took part in a re-enactment of the 1846 Pioneer Trail trek from Ilinois to Utah at Calperum Station recently, pushing replica pioneer hand carts (left and bottom) over 51 kilometres.

increasing self-esteem. “These kids are growing up spending half their lives in a virtual world with Facebook, MySpace and Twitter,” Mr Wilmott said. “This got them off the computer and got them to take on some real-life experiences from the real world.” The third objective was to push participants to their limits, to realise how strong they are. With no tents and only a tarpaulin, a sleeping bag and a thin foam mattress, sleep-

ing conditions were less than comfortable and the group experienced a dust storm and prolonged rain periods during the trek. “We couldn’t have paid for that,” Mr Wilmott said. “That was awesome because that’s exactly what the pioneers endured.” He said the reactions from the group were uplifting. “It was life-changing for some of them.” Mr Wilmott also pointed out that participants grew a stronger love for their family, while also making new friends and breaking down barriers between cliques that

emerge in youth groups. “This really broke the mould and said ‘you’re all equal’.” He hopes the camp will return back to the region again. “If Calperum Station are happy to have us, we will be happy to come back.”

Three Second Rule… I LEARNT something new and interesting during class the other week – amazing right? Within the first three seconds of meeting someone new, you are evaluated, and an opinion is formed of you – even if you don’t speak. This got me thinking about all the times I have briefly encountered people when I went down the street to get the milk - in my uggies and ‘clothes meant only for home’, with my ‘bird’s nest’ hair and an expression on my face that said “I’d rather be in bed”. I decided that this evaluation, whilst inevitable, is entirely unfair. How could you possibly figure someone out within the short timeframe of three seconds? In any case, I was intrigued – so I proceeded to Google ‘Three Seconds’. It was interesting to learn the variety of things that can happen in three seconds, for instance; you can calibrate a Nokia N97’s compass in three seconds; if you meditate for three seconds before taking a photo, you will look “real” (go figure); and if you drop your food on the floor and pick it

up within three seconds, you’re safe to eat it (that last one was actually a personal rule). But I deviate. Ever been told the insightful expression “don’t judge a book by its cover”? Then, on the same day, proceed to purchase a book based primarily on the fact that it has a picture of Robert Pattinson on the front of it; it is shiny and/or fluffy and comes with a sticker collection? I am guilty of this. I am also guilty of the three second rule, so I have realised in the past couple of weeks. As soon as I meet someone, I instantly, though not intentionally, decide whether this person is approachable or withdrawn, fun or boring, capable of mass murder or plans to give me chocolate at the end of our conversation. I can’t help it, it’s only human. I suggest you step out of your head and see for yourself what you are thinking, you may surprise yourself. Next time you go to the supermarket and have a brief encounter with that girl in the uggies carrying the milk, think again – she may just be an upstanding columnist in your favourite newspaper.

Take the lead on energy and climate change in your community A new community project is offering South Australian residents the chance to tackle climate change and help people reduce their carbon footprint. Energymark, an initiative of the CSIRO and supported by the Local Government Association of SA, facilitates community dialogue on climate change, energy and the role individuals can play in moving towards a new energy future.

The CSIRO is seeking volunteers to be group convenors and take the lead on these discussions. Group conveners gather small groups of people (family, friends, neighbours or workmates) and instigate conversation while providing the crucial link back to the CSIRO. CSIRO social scientist AnneMaree Dowd said the introduction of Energymark to South

Australia follows the program’s success in other states where, on average, participants have reduced their carbon footprints by 27 per cent. “Its success is due to the group convenors that bring together friends, family, workmates and neighbours to talk about energy, climate change and mitigation,” Ms Dowd said. Groups receive balanced information about energy and

climate change, discussion topics and various activities throughout the program, which provide an opportunity to evaluate current behaviours and develop actions to improve energy use. Group convenors will also receive a complementary copy of The CSIRO Home Energy Saving Handbook, which offers practical information and advice for households to cut their energy

use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Volunteers for Energymark group convenors are needed in regional and metropolitan South Australia. To volunteer, or for more information, visit www.csiro. au/science/EnergymarkTrial or contact Sarah Crossman, SA Energymark Project Officer, CSIRO, on 08 8303 8462. Registrations close 30 October 2009.

Want to be a climate change and energy leader in your community? Become involved in Energymark Volunteers are needed to be Energymark group convenors and lead discussions in your community on climate change, energy, water and waste. This is your opportunity to be heard on climate change, reduce your carbon footprint and take a lead role in moving your community towards a sustainable energy future.

You don’t need to be well informed on climate change to participate. Group convenors organise meetings with small groups of people (family, friends, neighbours or workmates) and are supported by discussion material from CSIRO.

Over 72 group conveners and 1000 people have participated in Energymark around Australia. On average, participants have reduced their carbon footprints by 27%.

Plus, group conveners receive a free copy of the new CSIRO Home Energy Saving Handbook RRP $29.99.

Queen closure impacting region

��

�� By BRAD PERRY SITTING idle in its dock, the PS Murray River Queen’s temporary closure, while it is up for sale, is signiﬁcantly hurting the region, according to a concerned local. Waikerie Caravan Park manager Tracey Mahoney, who has placed a tender to buy the historic paddlesteamer, said it is disappointing the vessel is not running because while it sits stagnant, it is losing tourism dollars for Waikerie. Tender submissions were meant to close almost a month ago but a delay in the process has meant a lengthy wait for hopeful buyers. “It has been very long winded,” Mrs Mahoney said. With the PS Murray River Queen usually a popular tourist attraction in the school holidays, Mrs Mahoney said it is a shame it could not have been utilised for both accommodation and hospitality.

INTEREST is sought for the placement of international exchange students in the region next year. The Education First Riverland co-ordinator Mel Smith, of Berri, is seeking host families to take exchange students from January. “All the organisation EF requires, is a warm, caring, safe home environment and for the student to be part of your family,” Mr Smith said. “Students aged between 15 and 18 years old, from a variety of backgrounds come to Australia from 34 countries, and normally stay for a year. “They study at your local high schools, in exchange for Australian school students studying abroad.” EF can also arrange for your family members to be part of an oversees student exchange program, to study overseas.” EF is one of the larger international student exchange program co-ordinators. If you are interested, Mr Smith can be contacted on 8582 5490

no trouble to ﬁll the paddlesteamer with tourists. “We could have easily ﬁlled a lot of the beds on the boat on the long weekend,” she said. As new owners of the caravan

�

park, Mrs Mahoney and husband David are hopeful of buying the vessel and changing the way it has operated in the past. “(If we buy it) we will go on there and totally refurb it and bring it up to a really high standard,” she said. Mrs Mahoney believes the PS Murray River Queen is a vital tourism icon for the region. “To get more people to come to Waikerie, we need to have it,” she said. The caravan park owners have plans to extend the park to the riverfront and turn the current park site into a lifestyle village and believe the paddlesteamer would ﬁt in perfectly with their plans. “If we could combine the caravan park and the PS Murray River Queen...it would cut down the huge costs of running two business plans and it can be put into one,” Mrs Mahoney said.

Big wheels ready to turn

By BRAD PERRY

AFTER more than 1000 hours of planning, research and building, Morgan man Bruce Perrott is just weeks away from his hand built paddle wheeler cruising the waters of the majestic River Murray. It has been a labour of love and hard work for Bruce, who started building the historically designed paddle wheeler named PV Chloe in the backyard of his Morgan home over four years ago. After a boating accident when he was young, Bruce was put off the idea of cruising on the River Murray but many of life’s events changed that perception and he decided constructing a paddle wheeler was something he could achieve. Bruce now looks forward to spending the rest of his time on the water. “I will live on the boat when it is ﬁnished,” he said. “Somewhere in a nice quiet spot, I can sit back with a beer and a ﬁshing rod and I will be happy. “For me it is pretty special...I just want to travel up the river and take it pretty gently.” It all began with an “on the spot idea” and after 18 months of planning, talking to boat designers and hours in the library, Bruce started building the paddle wheeler. “I spent countless hours on the drawing board,” he said. Bruce admits planning and building PV Chloe has not always been smooth sailing and he said his initial ideas were met with doubt. However, the Morgan community got behind him, with many people donating pieces towards the paddle wheeler. Bruce received an old steam

■ BIG BUILD: Morgan man Bruce Perrott has nearly ﬁnished building his paddle steamer and is ready to cruise the River Murray. Photo: BRAD PERRY wheel from a local resident and the posts for the bow came from timber used by the Terminus Hotel. “I’ve collected a lot of bits and pieces as I have been travelling around the world,” he said. “I must admit, it has attracted a lot of attention.” In fact, Bruce was recently contacted by an overseas journalist and a story was published about

his journey on an English boating website. “I was quite taken aback when I saw it,” he said. When the boat is launched, Bruce will set about bottling his own wine label to give back to the people who have helped him on his journey. “It will be pay back time,” he said.

However, Bruce still faces a number of challenges before the vintage style cruiser can hit the water. “The magic trick will be lifting it with a crane,” he said. “We will have to take down the top deck and then rebuild it, otherwise it will not get under the power lines.” Being very community orientated, Bruce hopes that one day he can

work in conjunction with the town’s museum and the paddle wheeler could become a static display. “Anything we can do to bring people into the community is a good thing,” he said. With the vessel just weeks away from debuting along the river, Bruce is looking forward to enjoying the fruits of his work.

Relay For LIFE

Relay rally raises $73,000 By BRAD PERRY PARTICIPANTS and on-lookers turned out in large numbers to raise more than $73,000 for cancer research during this year’s Relay For Life. Locals reached deep into their pockets to donate to the cause and Relay For Life organising committee chairman Robin Foley said the event was a great success. “It was just a lovely event again,” she said. “People put a lot of effort into their camp sites and costumes.” Mrs Foley said those people who participated are already talking about next year’s event and she was very happy about the younger generation getting involved. “It is going to grow,” she said. Over 300 people in 22 teams participated in the relay, while 32 cancer survivors and carers were at the opening ceremony. The Hula Girls and Boys, captained by Nancy Murdock, raised the most money with almost $14,000.

■ TEAM: Team-mates (from left) Berri’s David Centofanti, Denise Nolan, Barmera’s Mick Ashton, Berri’s Steven Centofanti and Vicki Beech enjoyed the event.

New chair for Fruit Fly Committee RIVERINA citrus boss Scot MacDonald has been appointed chairperson of the Tri-State Fruit Fly Committee. The group represents industry and government bodies throughout South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Mr MacDonald said it is an exciting opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an honour to be asked to take the role of chair and help facilitate the work of this group,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fruit fly management is a complex task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each state has different regulations and requirements

Local flooring expert believes the Riverland needs...

and each industry has its own issues to face.â&#x20AC;? Mr MacDonald said it will be a combined effort to prevent fruit fly. The committee manage a sterile fruit fly production facility and co-ordinate a public awareness campaign, with a focus on stopping travellers entering the fruit fly exclusion zone with fruit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As summer approaches and we face the peak season for fruit fly activity, everyone has work to do to make sure we protect our horticultural industry,â&#x20AC;? Mr MacDonald said.

asbestos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three days later I went back to the site and it (the vinyl with asbestos) was gone, someone had disposed of it because it would have cost thousands of dollars to remove,â&#x20AC;? Ms Dolphin said. Ms Dolphin is also concerned about the limited number of Riverland councils which accept asbestos disposal with only Loxton Waikerie Council, Southern Mallee District Council and the Mid Murray Council accepting asbestos waste at specific dump sites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am surmising that when people in Berri and Renmark come across asbestos, they are just putting it straight in the bin, exposing it to everyone,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ms Dolphinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts echo those of professional asbestos remover Andrew Watts, who found media attention in June after he had difficulty disposing of hazardous material in the region. In an article in The Independent Weekly, Mr Watts said he was told by the Loxton Waikerie Council waste station he was not using the correct process when trying to dump asbestos at its site. The next day he returned and without changing the process the material was accepted.

MORE and more Riverlanders are being exposed to asbestos because not enough is being done to educate the community on the potentially deadly mineral fibre, according to one concerned local. Local flooring expert Louise Dolphin believes the government is not doing enough to educate people on asbestos and crack down on those ignoring crucial disposal regulations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need to be better educated on asbestos and the fact they might have asbestos in their house,â&#x20AC;? she said â&#x20AC;&#x153;In particular, I am concerned about people finding it in their floor coverings and putting themselves at risk because they pull it up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government has set up an action plan and at this stage, I personally havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen that put in place.â&#x20AC;? The Environmental Protection Authority website states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) were used extensively in Australian buildings and structures, plant and equipment, and in ships, trains and motor vehicles during the 1950s to the mid 1980s and some uses, including certain friction materials

and gaskets, were only discontinued on December 31, 2003â&#x20AC;?. This site also states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;asbestos dust or fibres are known to be highly hazardous when inhaled and can be released into the air when products and wastes containing asbestos are incorrectly handled, removed or transported for disposalâ&#x20AC;?. Asbestos was used in the building of many homes until the 1970s and Ms Dolphin believes due to the number of ageing homes in the region, it is still a serious issue needing further attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want people to be more aware because the long term is, when we go into a house and someone has already pulled it (floor coverings) up, everyone else in the community is at risk as well because they are not disposing of it properly,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ms Dolphin has seen first hand instances of asbestos affected vinyl being disposed of incorrectly because of the mounting costs involved to discard it properly. Working at a local site, Ms Dolphin came across asbestos on floor vinyl used on the wall of an old house. The suspected asbestos was sent away for testing and came back as friable, the most dangerous type of

MARCH 21 - APRIL 20 No one can give you the answers because they aren’t in the book.You may feel funny about high levels of uncertainty but once you accept the fact that you might as well be in the Twilight Zone this will all make sense.

GEMINI MAY 21 - JUNE 20 Too many things keep telling you to move, or find another way to approach your life. This could be the 7-year itch so check in with yourself to see if it’s that, or if a geographical cure will really do the trick.

â&#x2013; THE Berri Church of Christ recently donated $1000 to the Riverland Youth Ministries group following a Christmas in September fundraiser. Church administration officer Ross Wilkinson said the group does a lot of important work with youth in the region and was a more than worthy recipient for the funding. The money has been earmarked to go towards assisting members of the group to attend and run various educational seminars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really see the value in it,â&#x20AC;? Mr Wilkinson said.

Rose week fundraiser â&#x2013; VISITORS to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renmark Rose Festival will be able to use flower power to demonstrate their support for research into breast cancer. Resident artist, Yvette Schepel Frahn, has partnered with Rustonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roses to turn a 1948 TEA20 Ferguson tractor into a work of art to raise money to assist Breast Cancer Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m delighted to be involved with this great project, which combines a tractor that has played a major role in the development of the Riverlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horticultural industries,

and at the same time, gives me the opportunity to be able to contribute to such a worthwhile cause,â&#x20AC;? Ms Frahn said. In return for a donation, rose festival visitors to Rustonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roses will be invited to paint a flower on the pink vintage tractor. Following the rose festival it is planned to use the tractor and its flower power messages to promote breast cancer awareness and to encourage members of the Riverland community and visitors to the region to donate to this worthy cause. The tractor will be on display at Rustonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roses from this Saturday.

Food and Wine Festival to draw another big crowd THIS event seems to grow and grow each year, in both popularity and sheer size.

Loxton farmer Kelvin Westbrook has provided 270 of his sheep for the event. Most of the 13 competitors will be from South Australia and Victoria. The aim of the trial is to lose as few points as possible by keeping the three sheep within 10 metres of the competitor, and on their right side, while walking from one obstacle to another. There are four obstacles that have to be passed within 15 minutes. While most of the action is on the Barmera Oval, there is plenty of entertainment over the three days of competition, including sheep chariot races, skydivers and a free dinner dance at the BarmeraMonash Football Club. The trial is completed with a river cruise for competitors on Sunday evening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without the sheep and dogs on board!

Riverland AUTOEXPO

The conversion of a Mustang showstopper THE big feature at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverland AutoExpo is Gary and Deby Myersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stunning 1966 Mustang Coupe known as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Silver Bulletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The fully customised and modified showcar, complete with twin superchargers, is sure to catch the eye of those at the event next weekend. Known as the Burnout King, New South Wales based Gary Myers acquired the famous Mustang as a 17 year old in 1982 for $7000. He purchased the American muscle car as virtually stock standard and has since spent more than $200,000 stripping the vehicle back and customising it to the standard it is today. The Silver Bullet has an extensive history in showcasing throughout the world and Gary is stoked to be able to bring the Mustang to the region. After driving the Silver Bullet around for years, Gary decided to give the car a makeover adding a fish blower, wheel tubs, a new turret and a paint job. Working as a motor mechanic in Wagga Wagga, Gary was able to use many of the skills he had gained to create and work on the Silver Bullet. His Mustang quickly became known on the burnout circuit as Gary won numerous national awards. His first big win came at Summernats Six in 1993 and he prospered from there winning almost every event he entered. Gary became the first person to win more than three consecutive burnout competitions at Summernats and continued to show off his skills with a two minute, tyre blowing burnout at Summernats Eight. After he was crowned Burnout

Champion of the World, Gary added a new flamed paint job to the Silver Bullet. However, the new bodywork was damaged when Gary reached a huge 8000 revs per minute (over the usual 7000rpm) to win a burnout competition and he had to redo the flaming paint work. After winning Summernats 13, Gary decided to use the Mustang for display burnouts and static shows only, although he did break an Australian land speed record at a run at the Salt Lakes in Lake Gairdner in South Australia. The Silver Bullet continued to win accolades when it was awarded Street Machine of the Year in Street Machine Magazine in 2001/2002. The carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior was replaced shortly after to the grey leather interior that is seen today. Gary is extremely proud of the Silver Bullet and what he has achieved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we debuted it, it took out overall car of the Summernats,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put it on the show circuit for two years and it basically won everything it entered.â&#x20AC;? He said the Mustang earnt its name because of its brilliant paint work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most showcars, you sort of look for a name following and because the car was painted silver and it is very sleek, it became known as the Silver Bullet,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Mustang is sure to be a big crowd puller at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverland AutoExpo and Gary urges everyone to come down and have a look as it features at the Show and Shine on the 24th. You may also get the chance to have a chat to the Burnout King himself.

Insuring your future in troubled times By AMP Financial Planner PETER AITCHISON* IT IS PROBABLY fair to say that current economic conditions have many people feeling at least a little unnerved, if not concerned, about their financial future. In times such as these, it is crucial that people make sure they are adequately protected, at least financially, for the unexpected. Financial instability, death, injury and serious illness all have the potential to seriously, and sometimes suddenly, affect the ability to repay debts and look after your family. Just like appropriate asset

allocation can assist investments deliver strong returns in the long term, insurance can work to financially protect people against other unforseen events such as accidents or illness. Yet, sadly, insurance is one of the most neglected aspects of the average personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial planning. If something was to unexpectedly happen to a person or their partner, how would their family be affected financially? While many Australians do not think twice about insuring their car, home and contents, their most valuable asset, themselves, are often overlooked. Consider this: a 40-year-old

earning $40,000 per year (increasing five per cent per year), will earn $1,909,000 in total by the time they reach 65. This makes their ability to earn an income, and provide for themselves and their family, a valuable asset worth protecting. There are a number of types of insurance worth considering in order for people to protect themselves and their family.

Income Protection â&#x2013; Protecting income means protecting a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle. Income protection, also known as salary continuance, usually pays a monthly benefit of up to 75 per cent of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular income if they are too sick or injured to work. This type of insurance is designed to help people continue paying the mortgage, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school fees, phone and utility bills, run their car, buy food and clothes, basically all of their day to day living expenses.

Business Overheads Insurance â&#x2013; Business overheads cover is a business expenses insurance that covers the regular operating expenses of a small business if the business owner canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work because of sickness or injury. Specifically designed for selfemployed people, this insurance can either be purchased on its own, or packaged with income protection insurance. The sorts of business expenses covered by this insurance include rent, property rates and taxes, utility bills and principal interest loan repayments.

Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) â&#x2013; TPD cover provides a lump sum payment if someone is totally and permanently disabled. This cover can help pay for medical expenses, repay major debts and help provide for a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

Trauma cover â&#x2013; Trauma cover provides a lump sum payment if a person is diagnosed with a specified â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;traumaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; condition. The types of conditions that trauma cover is available for include heart attack, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, major organ transplant, severe burns, cancers, dementia, stroke or paralysis. Trauma cover is designed to help cover increased medical costs and living expenses, providing some financial security during the important recovery process.

Death cover â&#x2013; Death cover offers people the security that if the unthinkable were to happen, at least their family wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about money. Death cover works by making a lump sum payment to a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family if they die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness. It is important for people of all ages, especially if they have others relying on them financially or have large debts, such as a mortgage. One of the most tax effective ways of holding life insurance is through superannuation. Most superannuation funds have an option to take out life insurance, which can provide a simple and cost effective way to buy into this insurance. There are many different insurance options available, so it may help for people to speak with a qualified financial planner to ensure they get the right insurance solution for their specific needs. *Peter Aitchison is an Authorised Representative of AMP Financial Planning Pty Ltd, ABN 89 051 208 327, AFS Licence No. 232706.

A DV E R T I S E M E N T

No Late Rush For Boosted Grant: Loan Market Group PEOPLE looking to enter the property market are not rushing to take advantage of the boosted Federal Government First Home Buyers Grant before it is phased out, according to Riverland mortgage broker Robert Gruzlewski. The grant, doubled to $14,000 for established dwellings and $21,000 for new homes, is being phased out from September 30. First time buyers entering into new contracts from October 1 until December 31 will receive a total of $10,500 and those buying new homes $14,000. The scheme will revert to its standard form from January 1, 2010. Mr Gruzlewski said inquiries from ﬁrst time

buyers had fallen back gradually from their peak in the middle of the year and there was no sign of people looking to cash in before the generous grant is pared back. “Over 140,000 people nationwide have taken advantage of the boosted grant and it has been one of the most successful of the Federal Government’s economic stimulus packages,” he said. “It is also the most people over one year that have taken advantage of the First Home Owners Grant since its inception. But enquiries from ﬁrst time buyers have dropped back and lately we have been seeing more activity from investors.” Mr Gruzlewski said

tougher lending criteria by the major banks would have made it more difficult for some first time buyers to get into the market. “Other people considering buying a property have also been sitting back waiting for prices to fall,” he said. Mr Gruzlewski said a recent Loan Market Group survey found most Australians believed the oosted First Home Owners Grant had contributed to inflated property prices. “Many people thought the grant had an impact on prices but mainly at the lower end of the residential real estate sector,” he said. “Overall, the expanded grant scheme has provided stability and even some buoyancy for property

markets at a time when it was really needed. “It provided a core foundation for the property market overall, protecting the values of every home owner in the country and one which should enable it to remain stable once the boosted grant is phased out.” He said the combined effects of near record low interest rates and the boosted grant had created an environment in which many more Australians have been able to afford a home. “The residential real estate sector in Australia has so far weathered the worst of the downturn and the grant has played a major part in shoring up the market,” he said.

Petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life

Whoever said you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy happiness forgot little puppies. ~ Gene Hill

ADVERTISING FEATURE

A happy pet is a healthy pet with BARF

L FEATURE PET

Me et R o bby

SHAMPOOCH, along with other responsible and caring pet lovers, choose Dr Billinghurstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BARF Diet for their canine and feline companions. BARF Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to achieve healthy pets through evolutionary nutrition.

Seeking genuine health DR BILLINGHURST wants all pets to be happy, active, bright, alert and free of problems and wants them that way for their whole life. Ideally, young pets need to develop to the peak of their genetic potential, breeding stock to produce supremely healthy offspring. Active pets should perform to the maximum of their inherited limits and sick pets need to become well and it would be good for our aged pets to become â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; again. Feeding our pets their optimum diet is the most effective way to achieve these aims. The optimum diet for our pets is the evolutionary diet and that is why Dr Billinghurst has produced Dr Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Genuine Aussie RAW (BARF) Foods for Pets. These evolutionary foods for pets have become known as The BARF Diet, where BARF stands for Bones And Raw Food or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food and RAW stands for Restoring Animal Wellness. Dr Billinghurstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products for pets are proudly Australian and echo a long tradition of feeding pets with, meat, bones and healthy table scraps. These products follow years of study and research by Dr Billinghurst, the veterinarian who introduced the world to evolutionary

nutrition (BARF) for pets. Using whole raw foods for pets is not new; it is the diet that nature or evolution used to shape our pets; it is the diet our pets require to become and remain truly healthy.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so special about BARF? FOR any machine to work properly, it must be supplied with the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended fuel, lubricants and spare parts. Anything less will cause the machine to malfunction. Our petsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bodies work on the same principle.

The only diet that will ensure maximum health and longevity for our pets is the evolutionary diet.

Benefits of Dr Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BARF IMPROVEMENT in arthritis; healthier skin and coat; improved kidney and heart health; liver, pancreatic and bowel health; healthier teeth and elimination of bad breath; strengthened immune and digestive system; greater resistance to fleas and internal parasites; minimal chance of degenerative diseases; lean body mass.

Comparing Aussie RAW DR Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Genuine Aussie RAW (BARF) foods for pets contain the freshest raw foods available, including muscle meat, organ meat, bones, vegetables, fruit, eggs, yoghurt, garlic, flax seed, alfalfa and kelp. These healthy foods are rich in essential fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, natural phytochemicals and anti-oxidants, presented as only â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mother Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knows how. BARF is available in seven different flavours: chicken, lamb, pork, beef, kangaroo, rabbit and combination. For more information, see www.shampooch.net.au or contact Di on 0403 153 454.

THE Wanbi Hotel is celebrating one year since its reopening next Saturday night, October 25. Hotel management is inviting the community to come along and join in with the celebrations. A free sausage sizzle for all patrons will be held between 6 and 7pm. The Mallee pub has been a busy haven of activity over the past 12 months with extensive renovations giving it a new lease on life. Established in 1932, it has been an integral part of the community for locals and farmers from surrounding areas. The pub closed for three months in 2008 for renovations, before reopening on October 24. Renovations have been ongoing since, with a revamped pool room, and bedrooms, which are now

air-conditioned, while the front bar also received a major overhaul. While the changes have been extensive, the hotel has maintained its old style, country pub feel and atmosphere. The hotel also boasts equal to the cheapest standard price for a schooner in the region (aside from promotional prices). West End Draught, Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pale Ale and Hahn Premium Light are all $3.50 a schooner. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cheapest beer by a distance, with some establishments asking up to $4.60 a schooner. About $160,000 has been invested into the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continuing renovations, including the revamping of the dining room and accommodation facilities. The Wanbi township history, including the history

of the hotel and the railway, can be viewed in the front bar and dining room, bringing back that community feel a local pub should have by preserving a strong local identity. Meals are generous serves with nothing on the menu over $15, with a wide range of delicious choices available. The hotel developed the low-cost menu so its customers can still enjoy dining out without a big impact on their weekly budget. While prices are low, flavour and quality remain uncompromised on the delicious new menu, which features some hearty inclusions. Tasty juicy rissoles and mash, or old favourite bangers and mash, will only cost $10, while fresh pasta with a choice of three flavours is priced at $9.90.

Riverland Advocacy Service

Advocates protecting the rights of the disabled ARE you a person with a disability? Does someone in your family or a friend have a disability? Is there a problem caused by the disability or the way other people react to it? For example: Not getting help with every day things that may be harder to do because of the disability such as looking after the house, being clean, cooking and eating, travelling to shops or friends. Even going to school, getting the right doctor, managing your money; other people deciding what should happen without listening to the person who has the disability and their family; being treated unfairly compared to people who do not have disabilities; not knowing where to look for help. A Riverland Advocacy Service staff member may be able to help you speak and be heard. Riverland Advocacy Service, a regional office of MALSSA Incorporated, is a part of a nationwide network of more than 60 disability advocacy services funded by the Australian government. Disability advocate Graham McNaughton said many people are unaware of the service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that it has been under utilised because people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think, or know, that they have rights,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do get taken ad-

vantage of and sometimes it is quite deliberate.â&#x20AC;? RAS advocates listen when you tell them what is happening, help you decide what you want to change and how to change it, then help you make the change. Advocates can help you by showing you how to speak up more effectively and help you find the people you need to talk to. Advocates can come with you to talk to decision-

makers and can even speak for you after you and the advocate have agreed on what is to be said. Mr McNaughton said the service is a great tool for people with a disability to access, especially with day to day tasks like dealing with Centrelink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there to make sure that their rights are protected and they get a fair hearing, especially when dealing with government agencies,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people do not have good literacy skills and have difficulties understand-

â&#x2013; SERVICE: Disability advocate Graham McNaughton has a number of references and a wide range of information for services relating to those with a disability. Photos: LES PEARSON ing government forms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A letter from Centrelink can be very intimidating.â&#x20AC;? RAS advocates are also good at helping people with disabilities and their families, especially those from other countries and people who may not speak or read English well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can help people that have come from other countries that have been here a long time that may not have a deeper understanding of the language,â&#x20AC;? Mr McNaugh-

ton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At no cost, to them, we can provide them with an interpreter.â&#x20AC;? Mr McNaughton is a big believer in the service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now people with disabilities, even those with an intellectual disability, can live in support accommodation or live on their own entirely,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As they move out of the total care situation, they need assistance from time to time and people who are advocates to look after their

Are you eligible for this service? WONDERING if you are eligible to receive individual advocacy from Riverland Advocacy Service? If you fit the criteria, you are entitled to utilise the service. A person must have a disability that is attributable to an intellectual, psychiatric, sensory, physical or neurological impairment or acquired brain injury (or some combination of these) which is likely to be permanent and results in substantially reduced capacity in at least one area of self care/management, mobility and communication and requiring significant ongoing and/or long-term episodic support and which manifested itself before age 65.

Alternatively, carers for a person with a disability are also eligible. Carers are identified as family members, guardians or personal friends of a person with a disability who provide direct support in a voluntary capacity. Acknowledgement that a person has a disability or is a carer of a person with a disability is verifiable via one of the following: â&#x2013; Receipt of Commonwealth Social Security payment relating to disability or care arrangements; â&#x2013; Government funded services involved in early intervention support, special education and disability specific support services;

â&#x2013; An assessment/referral by a medical and allied health professional; â&#x2013; The person resides within the Riverland Advocacy Services geographic area. This area covers the Riverland, Mid Murray and a large part of the Mallee. Requests for individual advocacy must also meet all the case eligibility criteria. The case must relate to a disability issue and its impact. If a carer seeks advocacy, the only case that RAS can support must concern the person with a disability whom they are caring for, or issues relating to the carerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to care for the person with a disability.

In all cases, the person with a disability is the principal concern of RAS and any advocacy action taken must be in the best interest of the person with a disability. The purpose for seeking individual advocacy must also relate to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights and fundamental needs, which includes those being infringed, or likely to be, or not having been objectively fulfilled to a satisfactory degree. RAS does not provide legal advice and representation, financial advice, case management, mediation or counselling services, but can point those concerned in the right direction.

CHARLIE

Sports Goss

with GRAHAM CHARLTON The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

Change of venue sees ski event land at Berri ■ LAST summer we looked at the possibility of river conditions at Murray Bridge resulting in one of its major water ski events being transferred to the Berri Water Ski Club site at Martin’s Bend, Berri. Well, it is going to happen and local ofﬁcials consider the Berri Resort Hotel 110 on Saturday and Sunday, October 31 and November 1, “will be huge”. Around 90 boats will take part, including V8 Super Car champions Mildura’s Rick and Todd Kelly with their water toy Mojo, while likely to be amongst the skiers is Jack Houston, who recently won a world junior boys title in Belgium. Of local interest is that the emerging Hit

It racing team, of driver Damien Philp, observer Daniel Jury and skiers Saxton Brown and James Moldovan, will be there. In fact, there will be only two other SA boats competing the president of Ski Racing SA Murray Bridge’s Les Obst and Swan Reach’s Graeme Johns. Saturday’s events feature the Berri Resort Hotel Dash For Cash from the Lyrup ferry to the Berri Resort Hotel, with the fastest boats to cross the line at around 225 kilometres per hour while pulling two skiers. Boats, some of them valued up to $350,000, will then go on public display in front of the hotel. Sunday’s Berri 110 will start at the ski site,

travel towards Loxton to the Bookpurnong cliffs, then complete 55 kilometres as boats and skiers return through Berri on the way to a second 55 kilometre leg upstream and a ﬁnish back at Berri. I mentioned several times in this column last summer the enormous amount of effort this relatively small Riverland club had put into developing its prize facility. It has put itself and its surrounding community well and truly on the map. Boats from NSW, Victoria and Queensland are expected for the event, which should pull a large number of visitors from far and wide to contribute to a huge audience.

■ CHANGE: River conditions at Murray Bridge have caused organisers to shift a major speed skiing meet to Berri.

Three Superdogs return as masters carnival champions ■ THREE Riverland Superdogs, Lance Gum, Nick Kossatch and Paul Arnold, have returned from the AFL Masters Cairns 2009 football carnival with champions medallions. Playing his part for South Australia, winning two of the ﬁve age divisions, Superdogs president and crumbing forward in the State 50 to 55 years Super Seniors line-up, Gum was a member of a side

that won all of their three games against Victorian and Queensland combinations and then a virtual grand ﬁnal against North Queensland comfortably. For key defender/forward Kossatch and rebounding half back Arnold, the 40 to 44 years Masters competition was not as easy. They defeated NSW by three points and Victoria Country by two, be-

fore crushing Queensland by 77 in another title decider. For Gum, it was his ﬁrst ‘premiership’ medal at the event, for Kossatch, his second, while Arnold emulated Nick’s performance in 2006 when he won a medallion on his ﬁrst trip to the carnival. Kossatch was unable to repeat his All Australian selection of 2008, slowed

��

down somewhat when he suffered a rib injury in a collision with something like a local sugar cane truck in the opening game. Despite his ailment however, I gather he was still able to gain some qualification off field as a belly dancer. Nick, upon reflection, did consider that his teammate Paul Arnold “was extremely unlucky to miss the All Australian line-up”.

■ WIN: Riverland Superdogs members winning at the AFL Masters Carnival were (from left) Lance Gum, Nick Kossatch and Paul Arnold.

Hill returns to bowl at Berri ■ AFTER spending last season with Marion in Adelaide’s Premier League, Andrew Hill resumed as a skipper with his home club Berri in Saturday’s opening round of men’s pennant bowls for 2009/10. A member of the state squad, Hill made no secret of the fact that he was transferring to Marion in 2008-09 to give himself the best opportunity he could to take his bowls career to its limits. Andrew usually travelled to the city on Fridays to get in some practice, played on Saturday before returning on Sunday, a huge commitment and one that was only possible because of the support of his family. As a skipper for Marion he was the most successful for the

club over the season and the fourth best across the 10 team competition. At the same time, he represented the state team in its commitments during a period that SA was taking huge steps to improve its standing in the sport. In the off season, he was involved in the state teams’ impressive performances against some of the leading bowlers in NSW on a special visit to the Merrylands Club in Sydney. Andrew, aware of Bowls SA’s plans to improve its performances and image, gave himself the opportunity to be part of it and despite now returning to play in the country, you would think the sheer weight of his efforts will keep him in the

minds of the SA selectors. And to assist in jogging their memories, he is getting in as much bowls as possible to keep his name before them, including playing in the qualiﬁers for the Australian Open in November and December. These games will be conducted on Mondays and Tuesdays, making it difﬁcult for a businessman from the country but Andrew will be there. His prime focus, however, is gaining selection in the SA team for the Australian Sides Championships to be held in Adelaide in April next year. As a member of the state squad, he will get the opportunity to trial for that major event and stepping stone to perhaps even higher honours.

King exits after tough tie-break

■ THE ﬁrst leg of the second annual Riverland Junior Tennis Grand Slam held at Berriview last weekend has been described by one of the organisers Mike Horsman as “a tremendous success in perfect weather”. This tournament was held on the January long weekend in the ﬁrst year of the Slam but clashed with a number of similar events in other regions, so it was moved to this almost pre-season time slot.

Despite that, nearly 70 juniors entered with a big contingent of locals joined by players from Mildura and other areas. A highlight of the tournament was the boys 16 years singles competition, where highly rated Murray Bridge junior Tavis Saunders defeated Berri’s Keirren King in a super tiebreaker (10-7) in a semi-ﬁnal, before going on to win the ﬁnal 7-6, 6-3 against Leon Coetzer of Kesmond Metro. Girls 16 singles went to Ni-

cole Pope (Nuriootpa) with Sarah Pickering (Berriview) runner-up, while the doubles went to Pope and Renmark’s Rhiaanon Grosse. The boys 16 doubles was won by Coetzer and Saunders from King and David Strongman (Renmark). Other Riverland players to perform impressively included Nathan Flight (Loxton), who teamed with Nathan Pope (Nuriootpa) to win the boys 14 doubles, Marcus Drogemuller

A deeper look into dog racing

(Berriview), who was runner up to Pope in the singles, and Murray and Steve Burton (Cobdogla) runners up in the boys 12 doubles. Jamie Jaensch/Shenae Rucioch and Tahlia Matulick/Megan Schulz (Renmark) were the top two combinations in girls 10 doubles, while Blake and William Koskinas (Renmark) ﬁnished runners-up in boys 10 doubles. Jamie and Shenae also ﬁnished top two in girls 10 singles.

Falland moves to wingless sprint cars ■ UPON competing in the Australian titles at Lucindale recently, leading Loxton driver Keke Falland is to put his dirt kart career on the backburner. Falland, who completed a diploma in motor sport in Queensland a year or so ago, and harbours an ambition to work his way into one of the sport’s teams has moved on to wingless sprint cars. This involved purchasing a cool chassis sprint car, removing the wings and the V8 motor and replacing it with a V6. So he has a ‘fantastic looking’ wingless sprint car but he has retained the wings and V8 motor with the plan to upgrade to sprint cars further down the track. Keke had his ﬁrst hit out in his new machine at last Saturday night’s

Gallard to miss titles ■ RENMARK’S Brad Gallard will not be in Goondawindi this weekend to defend his Australian Extreme 2WD Off Road title. A delay in repairs to the motor in his Geiser Brothers USA Trophy Truck will rob him of the oppor-

11th position he worked his way to eighth and seventh in two lead up races. Then from position eight in the ﬁnal, he ﬁn-

tunity to repeat his spectacular performance at the venue last year in the ﬁnal round of the national championships. Gallard has been competing in the 2009 championship series using a Pro Truck, on loan from colleague Robbie Gwynne, but this is currently being prepared

ished ﬁfth, despite losing his power steering, enough to stop many drivers, early in the 15 lap event. It was a display of grit

and determination that has been a feature of his dirt kart career. According to Keke’s supportive father Steve, “the car felt good” and they now look forward to appearing in 15 races (the next back at Murray Bridge next month), including several at the Riverland and Waikerie Sunline tracks after Christmas. Keke will in fact give local speedway fans the chance to see his wingless sprint car when he does some hot laps at this Saturday’s meeting at the Calperum Hill complex. He will also drag the dirt kart out of moth balls to compete on the same program. Wingless or not, Keke Falland keeps on ﬂying. Gates open at Riverland Speedway on Saturday at 5pm, with racing starting an hour later.

for Gwynne’s brother Bernard to take to WA for the Gascoyne Dash. It is understood the Waikerie-Riverland club will not have a vehicle in Goondawindi, although Gallard’s navigator Scott Modistach will be there as a spectator.

Weary Weir returns from national hockey carnival ■ I SPOKE to a still weary Kris Weir early on Tuesday morning after she had returned from playing for the South Australian over 50s team in the Australian Veterans Hockey carnival in Tasmania. I wrote a couple of weeks ago that Kris was the youngest member of the team, in which she was joined by Renmark’s Teresa Shawyer. It must have been bigger then Ben Hur. Over 600 women attended the wind up to the carnival at Wrest Point Casino (along with about ﬁve blokes).

But proudly, despite a fair bit of partying, Kris and Teresa did play in the most successful of the ﬁve SA teams. Some of the veterans with the SA squads were nearly 70 years of age and “amazing”, according to Kris. The over 50s won three of their seven games, defeating Tasmania twice, including a playoff for ﬁfth position amongst the seven teams, and against Northern Territory, but were also competitive and in fact in winning positions at the half way mark against Victoria, WA and NSW.

Queensland was a different matter – “they blew us away 8-0 and beat Tasmania 11-0” Kris said. I suggested to her that second half fade outs may have been due to too much chatter after she gave another example of it ‘really being a small world’. Kris explained that shadow players, those not required by their home team, are still able to attend the carnival and to play for other states. Two such women from Rockhampton, Queensland, joined the SA over 50s, Kris thought she recognized one of them

and was right. It was Sue Deakin (nee Woodhouse) a former Glossop High School student who had played against Kris (Renmark High) in their early days before she moved to ‘Rocky’ in 1975. Deakin indicated that she had a photo of a Riverland team from that era that included Kris, as well as a former fellow Glossop student, friend and hockey stalwart Berri’s Leanne Delaine. Kris apparently arranged a telephone hook up between the two old pals. Ain’t sport great?

CHARLIE

There is not too much I can say in my defence but I honestly didn’t think there would be a problem.

■ THE more you learn about the Riverland Greyhound Racing Club at Barmera, the more you realise what a major player it is in the industry in this state. It is not just all about a dozen or so Saturday race meetings. Forty or more dogs trial at the track most Sunday mornings. Exceptions are when trials are held immediately after the last event on a Saturday race day, instead of the next morning. Normal trial days cater mostly for local and Sunraysia members. Then on Sundays before a Saturday race day, special qualiﬁcation trials are held. Long term stalwart steward John Rix is in attendance for these ‘qualies’, when based on times and placings, greyhounds can gain automatic entry into the races the following weekend. Trainers bring their greyhounds from all over the state, including Adelaide for the ‘qualies’. The Barmera complex springs to life again this Saturday, Caulﬁeld Cup Day. Over 90 nominations were received with an eight race program in place.

Boxer notches fifth win ■ THE Loxton gymnasium’s Bradley Wilson won his fifth bout in a row when he defeated the more experienced Sunraysia fighter Matt Walker in a big Desert Storm tournament at the Edge Hotel, Buronga, NSW, last weekend. Wilson not only had to contend with a tough opponent but also a loud and parochial (but fair) interstate crowd of around 700 during the bout. And, according to Loxton gym chief Phillip Goodes, who was in the corner for Wilson for the fight, it gave his fighter some invaluable experience in such situations. Goodes came out of ‘retirement’ as a coach on this occasion because his recent replacement, Paul Rose was busy becoming engaged. Rose will be back on deck for the next tournament in Adelaide on November 1, when hopefully opponents will be found for Bradley and also Matt Wilson and Ryan Goodes. Bradley Wilson was the sole Riverland boxer from the trio to fight in Buronga, being the only one over 14 years of age as required for such events in that state.

Pitch pundits confident ■ From Page 56 “The depth of the soil relates to the bounce and speed you get off the wicket, so we’re hoping we should have a really good standard of wicket here.” Clifford said if the pitch turns out to be the right standard, the potential of getting big games and big names back into the region will grow substantially. “Hopefully it all pans out and down the track we hope to be able to attract the higher standard of cricket back to the Riverland,” he said. “We’ve had a World Cup game here on the old pitch, which is pretty unique, and who knows, in a year or two’s time we might be able to get a higher standard game here again.” Using both the internet and South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) curators as reference points, Frankel believes the club has got it right.

The process involved first digging the old pitch square out, then filling the 150 millimetres deep hole with the new soil, cricket pitch loam sourced from the Fleurieu Peninsula. Plans were originally in place to sod grass seeds but with the pre-season AFL game scheduled to be held at Berri last summer, rollout turf was the only option. “With the AFL game here last year, there was no guarantee that we would get good grass coverage (from sodding the grass from seed),” Clifford said. The Berri Barmera Council, which had dug the old pitch out, supplied the turf, the same type used on metropolitan SACA wickets. “In return, we had to stay off the oval for the season and couldn’t play cricket here last year, so we’re looking forward to playing here this year,” Clifford added. “We were pretty happy to go with what they’re using

down there (in Adelaide),” Frankel said. Now it is a nervous wait for the Berri boys as round one nears to see if all their work over the past year or so pays off. “A lot of hours went into this, with just the logistics of trying to organise and research it and put everything into practice,” Frankel said. “Kym Traeger was also a big help to us throughout the whole process as well. “It was a pretty big undertaking. “It comes down to the first game. “I suppose we’ve done the best we can to get the best wicket we can.” According to Frankel, Berri’s clay depth is twice as deep as the Barmera pitch. “If you use what’s happened with Barmera’s wicket as a guide, which is a really good cricket wicket, hopefully we have a really good one on our hands.”

Edington guest speaker at sportsperson awards OLYMPIC swimmer and former Loxton girl Sophie Edington will be the guest speaker at this year’s Riverland Sportsperson of the Year Awards. The awards will be held at the Berri Resort Hotel on Friday, November 6. Along with the major announcement of the

Riverland Sportsperson of the Year, the John Ormsby Coach of the Year Award, the Steve Mcfarlane Contribution to Sport Award and the Peter Frankcom Junior Sportsperson of the Year Award will also be announced. Tickets for the night are available by calling the Berri Resort Hotel.

Rod Hankin takes the reins ■ From Page 56 “I’ve got a good rapport with most of the players being involved last year with the camp and things like that.” Hankin said that his junior development role will continue in the senior sides this year. “We’ve got a number of young players showing enormous potential I’ll be looking at,” he said. “The likes of Rory Correll, Gary Branford and those young fellas coming through, I think we will see just how good they can be next year.” Juniors aside, Hankin will also be looking at recruiting closely. “We need to recruit around a few areas, there’s a few blokes on the radar,” he said. While the centenary is a big occasion on the club’s calendar, Hankin conceded he will not be dwelling too much on the past.

“History isn’t something I really worry about,” he said. “We’re in a position to make our own history.” BarmeraMonash Football Club also recently announced Mark Wilden as A grade coach for 2010. Wilden coached the club’s reserves to a premiership in 2009. Waikerie has reappointed Troy Lehmann as senior coach for 2010, while Renmark’s 2009 premiership coach Brenton Venables has also been reappointed. Loxton and Loxton North are yet to name their leaders.

ustraliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular ute, Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HiLux, now offers even greater safety, comfort and convenience with new upgrades. The changes are designed to expand the strong appeal of HiLux, which topped the sales charts in June and was number two in March, April and May. HiLux is available in 32 variants that include two and four-wheel drive, three cabins, three double overhead-cam engines, manual and automatic transmissions and three equipment grades - Workmate, SR and SR5. Toyota has substantially improved the value of two key models, chopping $3100 from the prices of the 4x2 SR turbo-diesel double cab and single cab-chassis. The single cab-chassis is now priced 10.4 per cent lower at $26,590, while the double cab price has been reduced by 8.7 per cent to $32,590. Along with the upgrades, other models have received price increases ranging from $250 for 4x2 Workmate models to $1850 for 4x4 SR5 models. So far this year, Toyota dealers have delivered just over 24,000 HiLux - more than double the sales of the nearest rival. HiLux is the market leader in both 4x2 and 4x4 pickup segments, accounting for one-quarter of all sales in these combined segments. The HiLux nameplate was launched on the Australian market over 30 years ago, with 4x2 models, followed by 4x4 versions from 1980. Total sales in Australia have exceeded 600,000, including more than 40,000 in each of the past two years. With the latest upgrades, HiLux SR5 double cab 4x4 models - which adopt sportsstyle front seats - now come standard with a total of six airbags. These vehicles now have side airbags for the front seats and curtain-shield airbags in addition to the existing driver and front-passenger airbags. All SR5 models now have cruise control as standard equipment, following the addition of this feature to manual Xtra Cab 4x4 models. Privacy glass has been adopted on the rear door windows and back window of all Double Cab SR5 models. Audio systems have been improved across the range. Entry-level Workmate and volume-selling mid-grade SR now have a single CD player with USB port and Bluetooth mobile telephone compatibility. SR grade also adopts a four-spoke urethane steering wheel with audio controls. The new SR5 audio unit has a six-CD multi-changer and colour LCD screen. It also has USB port and Bluetooth compatibility.

Tavern Talk 4x4

The Kingoonya Hotel is being lovingly restored to a place of beauty and interest. ~ Outbackjack.info

with DANNY HANRAHAN

Experience the charm of the outback pub ONE of the great attractions of the Australian outback is the chance to enjoy a cold beer in the many pubs scattered across our nation. One such pub is the newly renovated establishment at Kingoonya. Hosts ‘Frosty’ and Maria, along with their daughter Shilo, have recently announced that the famous Kingoonya Cricket Match will be reintroduced on Saturday, October 31. “It will be a big weekend; we close the main strip, have a game of cricket and wash the dust down with a few cold beers,” Frosty explained. “A great band will be on hand Saturday night to keep the crowd entertained.” The Kingoonya pub has had a diverse history since the establishment of the township in the early 1900s. Before the Stuart Highway was sealed and re-routed north-east of the township, it was the point at which the old Alice Springs road left the east-west railway line and headed north. Many a railway worker and traveller spent a few dollars washing the dust out of their parched throats in the air conditioned comfort of the pub. In the early 1970s, whilst working in the then Commonwealth Railways, I slipped into the pub for

mining exploration and kangaroo shooting. But the pub lives on and retains all the character of bygone years and I’m sure visitors will have a few stories of their own after a visit. A Telstra blue phone adorns the widest street in the country, along with now operational diesel and petrol fuel pumps. Having a reputation for the biggest and best steaks in the state, the Kingoonya pub is well on the way to becoming one of our great outback icons. Another great place to grab a drink and a bit closer to home is the local Loveday Tavern. No cricket match here but instead it’s time for the famous Riverland 4x4 Challenge over the weekend of October 23 to 25.

Hopes high for quality new pitch By LES PEARSON THE newly established Berri cricket pitch is just one exciting new feature to look forward to when the 2009/2010 Riverland Turf Cricket Association season starts this weekend. It has been 30 years since the pitch has been replaced and the club has gone to great lengths to ensure the quality of the new deck. So much so, the pitch curators Simon Frankel and Matthew Clifford, are hopeful of attracting state level cricket, or higher, back to the region. Frankel said after much research, the club is confident it has produced a high quality surface. “Just looking at the different depths of clay you can use, we went the maximum of what a lot of pitches have,” he said. ■ LOOKING GOOD: Berri Cricket Club members and pitch curators Simon Frankel (left) and Matthew Clifford believe the newly installed pitch could be a drawcard for higher standard matches to be played in the region once more.

DEMONS’ CHOICE Berri appoint Rod Hankin as coach for centenary year

By LES PEARSON THREE-time Independent football premiership coach Rod Hankin has been appointed to lead Berri’s A grade for the club’s centenary year in 2010. The club’s selection committee made the decision last Thursday night, with Hankin starting in an

official capacity on Monday. After coaching at Independent level with Cobdogla for three years, he said coaching A grade in the RFL is almost a dream come true. “Ever since I left Cobby, my dream was to coach at the highest local level and Berri was it,” he said.

“I’m not worried about the jump up. “I see probably Independent coaches making better coaches than anyone else due to the motivational factor. “Most RFL players are already motivated.” Hankin has brought with him his own senior coaching panel, in-

cluding reserves, fitness and assistant coach. “I need people around me that can challenge me and also be a support as well,” he said. “Sometimes as coaches we can think we’re better than what we are, so you need people to challenge you around decision making, selection, training drills, everything like

that.” All of Berri’s club coaches will meet tonight to appoint team managers and start preparing for 2010. After being at the club throughout 2009 in a development capacity, Hankin said the year has been a beneficial time to get to know the players. ■ Continued Page 42
