■ FIRE RISK: Bushfire Safety and Prevention Solutions’ Brett Stephens inspects dead citrus trees in Loxton North which, like many other abandoned horticultural properties in the region, pose a high fire risk. Photo: BRAD PERRY
BUSHFIRE FEARS AN increasing number of abandoned horticultural properties across the Riverland has heightened the risk of bushfire in the coming warm months, according to an industry consultant. Bushfire Safety and Prevention Solutions’ Brett Stephens, who has worked in the fire management industry for almost 15 years, said a high number of
exited citrus properties in the river corridor poses a major risk for the region. “There is a lot of land that people have switched off water and it is not far from dryland farming,” he said. “The bushfire risk is higher because there's more blocks that people have just shut up and turned all the water off, so everything on there has been

properties as part of the State Government’s irrigator exit package means those blocks cannot be used again to grow produce for five years, which Mr Stephens said creates a risk every summer. With solid rains throughout the year, Mr Stephens said not only are exited properties at risk but also vacant blocks, with grasses growing quickly.
“I think we are at a high risk because there is a lot of dry fuel, there is an excess amount of fine fuel from the rain, there is a lot of blocks that have the irrigation taken off in the last 12 to 18 months and probably more often than not, people are just simply complacent to potential bushfires in the Riverland,” he said. ■ Continued Page 6

Exited properties pose serious fire risk HOW bushfire ready are households in the Riverland? The question must be asked because we have entered a risky bushfire period. The region has dryland farmers, property with dead fruit trees and vines and long grasses on land from good rains. A simple spark from machinery on the farm could cause horrific consequences. What concerns me the most is the blocks where water has been turned off and the trees left to die. There are a number of these properties throughout the region. There is little green amongst the potential firewood and on most properties, long grass is growing in between. Many of the properties are also rural, with acres of land surrounding them. If not, the properties are directly next to houses. Irrigation properties, where the owner has taken a State Government exit package, cannot be used for horticultural for five years. Therefore each year the bushfire risk remains and grows. Something must be done before it is too late.

Renmark Pageant
Schools cop cough By BRAD PERRY A LEADING Riverland doctor has warned parents to isolate children with any coughing symptoms as local schools battle to contain whooping cough. Riverland Division of General Practice Dr Grant Baker said the contagious disease has been spreading sporadically throughout the region over several months. Loxton Primary School last week confirmed there were at least five students with whoop-
ing cough, who were all on antibiotics and not attending school. Dr Baker said the disease can spread quickly, especially through the younger generation. “Once they get into school populations, if people aren't isolated they do tend to go through schools,” he said. “Any child who goes to school with an infectious disease tends to spread it around because children don't always use the correct hygiene like washing their hands after coughing.
“The main message is if you have got an illness where you are coughing, or whether it be a gastroenteritis type illness, that you isolate yourself and don't attend school.” Whooping cough is still “a real threat” in the Riverland, according to Dr Baker. “If you have got an illness or a cough, try and avoid young children, particularly newborns and pregnant mums,” he said. “We've sporadically seen some whooping cough cases on and off in the past few years.”
River rubbish cause for concern A TOURIST has called for the Renmark Paringa Council to look into the number of bins in the town centre after a number of aerosol cans were thrown into the River Murray during Friday's Christmas pageant. Crystal Brook resident Jane Starkey travelled to the region for the Renmark Christmas Pageant and left disgusted at the actions of several youths. Mrs Starkey believes the town needs more bins or regulations on the age limit of children using aerosol cans to spray novelty foam and string. “It was sad...to go down and sit on the riverbank ready for the fireworks to see these cans floating in the water around the
ducks,” she said. “I don't know whether there was a shortage of bins or whether the children were just plain lazy to put them in the bin. “Maybe next year council could put a few more wheelie bins out.” Over a two hour period, a large number of cans were thrown into the river, according to Mrs Starkey. “I know it's fun, I'm not picking on the fun part of it, I'm picking on if they are going to be responsible these cans should be put in the bin,” she said. Mrs Starkey said most of the people at the pageant were well behaved and the overall night was great, except for
watching cans being thrown into the river. However, she said a boat did scoop the cans from the water. The public toilets on the Renmark Avenue median strip also became strewn with 'silly string', foam and toilet paper, according to Mrs Starkey. “By 7pm you couldn't use them, they were disgusting,” she said. “We were all complaining about it because it got quite dangerous...there was silly string and foam all over the seats and tiles, we had to be careful we didn't slip over.” The Renmark Paringa Council was unavailable for comment at the time of print.

The new truck rest area as part of the $6.3 million project is also nearing completion and when finished will address driver fatigue and create safer roads.
Federal Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese said the project is a major boost for the state. “The combination of Quarantine Station,
rest area and weigh station is a triple win for the region,” he said. The heavy vehicle rest area and weigh bridge facilities will be functional by 2012.

UPGRADES to the Berri Irrigation Pump Station are nearing completion according to a Central Irrigation Trust (CIT) official. The upgrades, which have cost around $4 million, commenced back in April and CIT's Chas Nokes said the completion is on schedule. “The second stage is going to be commissioned (today) and that will continue through until roundabout December 16,” Mr Nokes said. “The aim is that the commissioning will be finished and it will be just fine tuning from there until Christmas.” Mr Nokes said the upgrades to the station will be a welcome relief for many. “This is a big step for us at CIT and for the Berri growers,” he said. “It's going to give more control of the system and more stable supply of water as far as pressure goes.” “It'll be steadier and more constant pressure. “Plus our infrastructure is going to be more modern and up-to-date and not ageing as (it was previously), which was bordering on being unreliable.” Mr Nokes confirmed there will be minor pressure fluctuations during the commissioning period. “We'll also be contacting growers and seeking their assistance,” he said. “(We'll be) getting them to assist us in taking water at certain times of the day to allow us to commission the higher flows.”

Amalgamation talks still alive By BRAD PERRY THE Berri Barmera Council has refused to dismiss the concept of amalgamation and will take the issue to the next local government forum. Despite criticism against any merging or amalgamations within the three Riverland councils, Berri Barmera Council Mayor Peter Hunt said the topic must continue to remain on the agenda and is proposing representatives from each council meet to discuss the fors and againsts. Responses received from Loxton Waikerie and Renmark Paringa councils suggests greater development of shared services and
formalised resources. However, Loxton Waikerie Council Mayor Leon Stasinowsky stated, “council have not formally committed to support the formation of one Riverland Council, believing further investigation and discussion into the benefits of amalgamation will need to be undertaken before a response in favour or not can be supplied�. Mr Hunt said parochialism must be set aside and an amalgamation discussed extensively. “It may not happen for another eight to 10 years but it wouldn’t hurt to have that information there,� he said. “Parochialism and rivalry is
good on the football field or the basketball court or against one another in sport but our councils are big business these days and we have to account for our ratepayers. “I think we need to go down the track and the avenue of at least investigating the fors and againsts of amalgamations to form a regional Riverland council.� Amalgamating the three councils could have many benefits including more pulling power when it comes to applying for funding, according to Mr Hunt. “At the moment, even
though we are resource sharing, we are still separate councils and we still have to be out there trying to get whatever we can for our own particular area,� he said. “Our main concern is that we need to be looking after our ratepayers and if we can see that by amalgamating three councils can do that, why would it not be contemplated? “The comment that the former Renmark Paringa Council Mayor (Rod Thomas) made that we will never amalgamate is just negative thinking.�

Future mining potential in local’s hands By BRAD PERRY MEMBER for Chaffey Tim Whetstone believes the Riverland community must take ownership and drive a proposal for the region to benefit from the imminent mining boom. BHP Billiton representatives met with local government, Regional Development Australia and a number of businesses and interested people in Berri on Tuesday. Those in attendance at a public meeting were given a presentation on the potential work that BHP will require as the Olympic Dam expansion pushes forward. Following a question and answer session, Mr Whetstone told the 50 strong crowd that it was not up to BHP to take the next step, instead the proposal lies in the hands of locals. “The region has to take ownership,� he said. “It is not BHP's role to set-up an airport. “It's up to the region, it's up to the people to be part of that and push that along.� Mr Whetstone said the Riverland could model itself on other areas which have adjusted to re-
ceive advantages from the mining industry, such as the Eyre Peninsula. “They were very buoyed by the level of support the region is offering BHP but also the acceptance that we are prepared to look at other models in other regions that are working,� he said. “If we can lure people to the region and if we look at the Evocities proposal, which has been supported by government and by council, it could potentially bring people here to be part of a fly-in/ fly-out workforce. “It's an 80 year life of the mine and what it is saying to us is the potential for regions to be part of this is huge.� Adjusting to the skills and workforce BHP is looking for would be of great benefit to the region, according to Mr Whetstone. “We perhaps do need a better education program in our schools and our TAFE colleges, so we are better prepared when we need the influx of skilled workforce,� he said. Loxton Waikerie Council Mayor Leon Stasinowsky said talks with BHP are still in the very early stages. “They are looking at big-
ger numbers and what they are also looking at is living on site because they predominantly do that now,� he said. “They know that won't be able to happen immediately and they will have to get personnel from around to fly-in and out. “If businesses can work together to get contracts to build stuff, it has to have a positive impact on the Riverland and for us as councils because it keeps employment and keeps businesses going, whereas when the drought was on, a lot of businesses folded
or nearly folded.� Graham Redway, of local business Riverland Steel Metaland, described Tuesday's presentation as overwhelming. “As far as I'm concerned it's a huge project and looking at it from a small country town point of view, it's a little bit overwhelming,� he said. “But when you see the way they have it planned, they are staging it so if you get in at the right level you could get some work out of it.� BHP Billiton was unavailable to comment on Tuesday's visit.

United approach to Basin Plan response “We're happy to be at the table and willing to work in good faith with the Premier because we think from our perspective, a unified state response is a good idea provided that it is in fact a balanced response and that it caters for the needs of the irrigators as well as the environment and other water users,� he said. “We were also careful to point out, in regards to
the plan, that we thought that if everybody was going to share in the gain of a better and a healthier river, then everybody needed to share in the pain and not just some specific regional communities.� Mr Haslett said the Premier recognises the Riverland and state's efficient history and will fight on their behalf. “A plan's important but we need to make sure
that the plan does reflect the balance that we all need and at this stage the Premier supported recognising South Australia's prior history in a practical sense and that the High Court challenge was a potential tool he had in the bag with which to help negotiate for a fair and equitable outcome for South Australia,� he said. Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said Mon-
day's meeting was very positive. “There was a united voice consensus on what this region presented to the State Government and more importantly just what our position is in response to the draft plan,� he said. “I think it's a long way to go before we consider a High Court challenge, for South Australia no plan is not an option.�

Downy alert
Addressing skill shortage

By BRAD PERRY A VITAL vineyard at the Loxton Research Centre is helping irrigators fight the growing threat of disease. Weather conditions will see winegrape growers on high alert for the spread of downy mildew for the remainder of the week. The Loxton Research Centre vineyard has not been treated with any sprays, showcasing powdery and downy mildew, botrytis in full effect. CCW Co-op viticulturist Andrew Weeks said the Research Centre’s rows of winegrapes have helped predict disease patterns this season. “This is a really valuable patch of winegrapes here at the Loxton Research Centre because it’s not sprayed with any fungicide,” Mr Week said. “So we can see what the worst case scenario would be like, the untreated option, if growers didn’t put on proper spray or put on any sprays. “It serves as an early warning system for us because often the disease will show up first here where it’s not controlled at all and if you start detecting it here it probably gives you a
few weeks warning of what might be showing up in some of the sprayed vineyards, some of the vineyards where the control wasn’t as good as it could be.” Signs of downy mildew have already started to appear in many vineyards across the Riverland. “If you’ve got a canopy that’s all closed up, dark and hot, humid and wet inside, then obviously you are going to get fungus growing in there and that’s a problem,” he said. “The (coming) weather could bring further problems as far as disease goes, so we are holding out and seeing what’s going to happen out of that.” Mr Weeks said there is much more to learn about powdery and downy mildew. “When we have problem years like this, we realise there is so much we don’t know,” Mr Weeks said. “You think you know enough and you have seen a fair bit of it but then something like this year comes up again and it has caught us by surprise. “The initial infection that start-
ed all this spread of downy mildew through the vines was something that really caught us off guard. “The conditions were at best marginal and yet it has got going in so many vineyards and it would be lovely to drill down on why that happened and to know a bit more.” Mr Week said trials at the Loxton Research Centre are valuable to the winegrape industry and he said he would like to see the centre given more support to expand projects. “Agricultural has become a little less profitable, the staff numbers at this centre have gone down a bit but certainly we don’t want to see it go down any further,” he said. “In fact, there are signs that things could pick up not only in the wine industry but all industries locally and I would certainly like to see more resources poured into this place and to see it return to its former glory.” Loxton Research Centre farm manager Gary Grigson said other trials at the facility are being done on vines to see the most efficient spray rate for controlling downy mildew.
THE Riverland’s skil shortage is expected to be addressed after an advisory group raised the issue during a visit to the region this week. State Training and Skills Commission representatives visited businesses in Loxton and Renmark during a tour of the Riverland on Monday. Made up of business employees, academics, union representatives and retirees, the group provides independent advice to the State Government on skills and workforce development priorities throughout South Australia. State Training and Skills Commission chair Adrian Smith said there are several areas in the Riverland workforce that need to be addressed. “The opportunities are there for great employment right across the board but it does require an uplevel of skills and places like the Riverland, have traditionally had lower skill levels than the rest of the
state,” he said. “It (the Riverland) has a lot of impediments to people participating in the workforce, so we need to taylor programs to get participation levels up. “One of the things we found is this area has an ageing population. “I think we are talking 2014 before the number of people leaving the workforce will be greater than those entering.” Trying to entice the younger generation to participate in horticulture is also on the commission’s agenda. “The future of the horticulture industry is less people working on the land but at a higher skill with a lot more automation and mechanism, so that requires appropriate training and appropriate support mechanisms and that’s the sort of advice we try to give,” Mr Smith said. The group visited Calperum Station and Loxton based Century Orchards during the visit.

Anger over footage By BRAD PERRY FOOTAGE on a national television program suggesting a local business was for sale due to downturn in trade has been met with anger. Channel Ten’s The Project last week aired a piece on the release of the Murray Darling Basin draft plan, showing the streets of Berri and focusing on Adrienne’s Frock Salon’s for sale sign. Adrienne’s Frock Salon owner Jenny Todd said she was “irate� after seeing the segment. “I thought it was very unfair to be shown as being for sale in the same breath as saying the Riverland is going to suffer because of the Murray Darling Basin draft plan,� she said. “The Riverland doesn’t need that sort of negative publicity. “We want people to come and visit and when they see things like that they stay away. “They took it (footage) without my
permission and used it in the context of being for sale because of the downturn in trade which is not the truth. “It’s because we want a lifestyle change.� Despite the nightly television program suggesting the business is struggling, Mrs Todd said that is not the case. “My name wasn’t on there but anyone in the Riverland would have known it was our business,� she said. “I feel a person could see it and say ‘well I’m not going to buy that then if that’s for sale because of the downturn’. “The biggest thing is that not every business for sale is for sale because of the so called downturn in trade because ours is not downturn in trade at all. “I’ve had really good years and the business has been in Berri 62 years, so it will keep going under the correct management when somebody buys it.�
Areas of Katarapko finally open after flood SECTIONS of Katarapko closed to the public for more than a year due to flooding have reopened. The Eckerts Creek and Lock 4 sections of Katarapko, within the Murray River National Park, were reopened recently by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). DENR district ranger Philip Strachan said during the high river event
of 2010 and 2011, both Eckerts Creek and Lock 4 were inundated and have only recently dried out. “Major road reinstatement works were required in these areas, along with replacement of temporary bridge structures, cleaning of campsites and cleaning of facilities, such as toilets and park signs,� Mr Strachan said.
■UNFAIR: Adrienne’s Frock Salon owner Jenny Todd is unhappy about footage on the 7pm Project which suggested her shop was for sale due to the region’s downturn.
Well respected counsellor signs off By BRAD PERRY THERE have been times when rural financial counsellor Max Baker has had to watch resilient farmers reduced to tears and there has been times of sheer happiness helping families survive against the odds. Working as a rural financial counsellor has certainly had its highs and lows but for Max, he has enjoyed the ride. The working life of one of the most respected Riverland counsellors will be honoured at a public farewell in February, when Max closes the curtains on a distinguished career. Max, who is the longest serving rural financial counsellor in South Australia, has worked for the service since 2006 but worked in the same role with the Central Riverland Financial Counselling Service four years prior. During those years, Max found himself helping irrigators in the height and harsh reality of the drought. Over his career, Max estimates to have had around 800 Riverland clients and he admits there were certainly some testing times. “I’ve had to assist a lot of people exit their farms and that’s always pretty sad because they’ve worked a long, long time but because of the drought and other reasons, they’ve decided to exit or they’ve been forced to exit and that always gets to you a bit,� he told the Riverland Weekly. “Quite often you would go out to a farm and you go through everything and they know they haven’t got a chance of surviving because the

Christmas Special bank has issued a notice of demand. “It’s not good when you see husband and wife, 60 years of age, howling their eyes out because they lost the farm they’ve been on for 40 years. “You go home a bit sad that day.� Despite assisting growers and farmers during one of the region’s toughest ever periods, Max also has many fond memories of his role. “You go home pretty happy sometimes when you’ve dealt with a client during the day and you’ve really been able to help them out,� he said. “You may have got an interest rate subsidy approved that they never thought they would get.� While the drought has lifted, Max said the region still faces many challenges. “The drought is over but we are having a price drought now,� he said.
Living in Berri, retirement will be welcomed by Max’s family. “I’m approaching 66, so I want to be still young enough to get out and do some travel overseas and around Australia and we’re getting a lot of grandchildren now and they are spread out a bit,� he said. Rural Financial Counselling Service SA general manager Kay Matthias said Max will be missed. “He’s very well respected amongst not only our client group but industry in general and all of the industries that he works with and he is certainly well known across Australia,� she said. “He’s going to leave a big hole. “We are sad in one way to see him go but really happy for him in another.� Well known Riverland identitiy Lloyd Wright, who was a rural service officer with Centrelink, will take over from Max in February.

■From Page 1 Many unused horticultural properties or vacant paddocks are close to homes and Mr Stephens said it would only take a split second for a bushfire to be started and it could potenially spread rapidly. “If somebody on the wrong day decides to flick a match, drop a match or if there is an accidental ignition from a tractor or piece of machinery, there has real potential from a bushfire point of view,� he said. “You could have a fast moving grass fire through the country travelling from average conditions, 10 to 15 kilometres an hour. “It doesn’t take long before it has travelled from a dryland farm or a fruit block.� Mr Stephens believes many Riverlanders are not ready for a bushfire and are complacent about the real dangers summer poses. “People’s perception is that there is not a risk in the Riverland and that’s a big one because people see

the Riverland as an irrigation centre and because it’s all irrigated, they see it as there is no risk,� he said. “I believe they are complacent to bushfire issues because they see the high risk bushfire area as the Mount Lofty Ranges, Kangaroo Island, Eyre Peninsula, they don’t see it as being a risk here. “At the end of the day it’s every
individual’s responsibility to make sure that if a fire starts on their property, they can contain it within their property boundaries.� A bushfire in the current season could not only cause loss of homes, infrastructure and worst case, life, but could have a significant impact on grapes, causing smoke taint in the wine produced.
Christmas decorations taken from homes LOCAL Police are urging the public to secure Christmas decorations after a number of festive items were stolen from Waikerie premises and gardens earlier this week. Between Saturday and Monday various Christmas decorations were stolen
from Waikerie addresses with a Santa and reindeer removed from a house in Ian Oliver Drive and lights stolen from two homes in Harden Street. Murray Mallee Berri Crime Prevention Section’s Carol Bristow said with many decorations on
display, it appears there are thieves about. “It’s just a reminder for members of the public who are putting up Christmas decorations, secure them as best they can and report any suspicious activity immediately around anyone’s Christmas decorations,� she said.
“Or if they are aware of where these (stolen) decorations might be, notify the police.� Loxton Waikerie Council chief executive officer Peter Ackland said it is disappointing that people are stealing Christmas decorations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Where have all the postmen gone? IN READING Max Scholz’s letter (Our very own snail mail, December 1), I had to agree with every point made. I post my mail in Renmark. My daughter lives in one of the closer suburbs in Adelaide. For years we have been exchanging letters every week. I posted a letter on Wednesday and she would receive it on Friday. Then she would post a letter on Sunday and I would receive it on Tuesday. It still works that way in coming to me but in posting to her on Wednesday, my letter was more often arriving the following Monday. In fact, I tried one week sending it to her place of work in the CBD and it still did not arrive until Monday. I have been assured by the post office in Renmark that the mail closes at 5pm and is taken from the post box and loaded directly and immediately onto the truck which arrives in Adelaide at approximately 10.30pm. So what holds up the delivery? Now all the country mail is sorted in the city, does that mean the sorter cannot handle the number of letters or is it because there are just not the number of postmen available to deliver on time? E.M. Edwards, Paringa.
Bulk-billing concern I AM writing about the lack of bulk-billing services in Waikerie.
I have contacted the clinic numerous times to book an appointment but was told, despite my pleas, that I need to pay $50 on the day. Recently my one year old son got Croup and it was cheaper going to Adelaide to see a doctor than it is in my own town. What is Australia coming to when a pensioner can’t get what they are entitled to, bulk-billing medical care? We even got turned away fro the hospital because the doctors here choose money over helping people. Shame on them. Luke Henderson, Waikerie.
Mixed year for Trust IT HAS been a mixed year for the Barmera branch of the National Trust. In June we had a wonderful response to the 70 year celebrations since the arrival of the first internees at camp 9. June 11 and 12, 1941 was the exact date of their arrival. The celebrations were a great success with people coming from as far away as New Caledonia and from all states of Australia. Since that event, Channel 7 had a segment on the Loveday Internment Camps on the Saturday evening program SA Life. Since then, we have had contact from many people who were involved with the camps. One lady, whose uncle was an internee in camp 14 C, sent me a copy of his life story, which spoke of his time during the camp. This was written in Japanese
Have your say about the issues that affect you.
with an English translation. The Trust also received a letter from a man seeking more information and a copy was passed onto me. I recognised the name, so I wrote to the gentleman seeking more information as the name was the same as a padre, who during the war, came to the Loveday school giving religious instructions. A few days later I got a phone call from this gentleman who was very interested in my letter because the man I referred to was his father. He told me that his father had said very little about Loveday. The gentleman is coming to visit me in January and he is going to donate his father’s World War I and World War II medals to me. I told him that I will accept them on behalf of the Barmera Branch of the National Trust because I believe that this type of donation should never be given to a private individual outside of the family. I have also received information from a lady whose husband was responsible for measuring the length of the attempted escape tunnel at camp 10 and I have a photo of this soldier. The down side of the year was that in a recent storm the roof of the Cobdogla Museum was torn off, so that has brought forward plans to reconstruct a camp hut to enlarge our museum space. That will allow us to display our ever increasing collection of camp material at the Cobdogla Museum to work in with the Cobdogla Steam and Irrigation Museum display. Max Scholz, Barmera.
Towers must go THOSE towering antennas (Riverland Weekly, December 1) are certainly a danger to homes. Most of them are in back yards sitting above houses and one strong gust of wind could bring them down. In fact, the tower antennas are so old that it would not surprise me if more toppled down. Should there be a law against erecting these large antennas for fear they will cause much more harm than good? Name and address supplied.
No Christmas lights I AM a resident living on the Santa’s Walk Route in Loxton where many bus tours drive past during the Christmas months. Unfortunately I do not have the funds to be able to put up lights and Christmas decorations and I feel like I am letting down the tourists on the buses. Since living here for a number of years I have never once been approached by the Loxton Waikerie Council or have not been sent a letter offering any assistance to put up decorations and lights. Would it not be worth the council budgeting money to help householders put up Christmas lights or purchasing the items themselves and lending them to houses over the festive period? With every house consenting to the lights display on their property joining in, surely the bus loads of tourists will certainly be back again and again. Name and address supplied.

Aiden’s unusual yabby find THE Awege family, of Loxton, have welcomed a very unusual specimen into their home. A catch of red claw yabbies from Queensland was given to the family to eat but Aiden spotted something a little different. One of the cooked yabbies had an extra claw and it has
since proved to be an exciting show and tell for friends and family. “It is pretty cool,� Aiden said. “I’m going to keep it.� Terry Awage, who is a regular fisherman, said the local yabby population is beginning to rise again, although he does not expect
to find any yabbies with three claws. “There is still plenty out there,� he said. “They are starting to catch them again now in big numbers.� Mr Awage expects another large influx of people to be yabbying again in the region in the coming months.

THE Renmark Rotary Club is playing its part for charity by raising funds to help communities across the world hit by earthquakes, floods and struggling with political upheaval. The club held a fundraiser last month in a bid to raise money to help underprivileged countries purchase tents, educational kits and water purification units. Renmark Rotary Club director John Bassham said the money is for a very worthy cause. “Around $800 will buy a box tent, which will include a sleeping bag and cooking gear,” Mr Bassham said. “If we can get around $2500 we will be able to help purchase a family care tent and that we will be pleased with.” It is not the first time the club has taken part in a relief program. “Rotary normally helps out with people in trouble and we’ve also taken part in a polio plus program,” Mr Bassham said. “It’s an opportunity to get together and help supply some sort of accommodation for people suffering.”

RIVERLAND I LOCAL ACTION PLANNING UPDATE
Seasons Greetings
Yabby Fever
WE would like to wish all our community volunteers a safe and happy Christmas/New Year, and thank you all for your invaluable support throughout 2011. Without you, the Riverland LAP Committees would not come close to achieving the outcomes we do. We will not publish a feature in January but will be back in February to keep you up to date with the happenings of the Riverland LAP Committees. Please be mindful that the LAP staff will also be taking holidays over the festive season and into January and that the offices in Renmark, Berri and Waikerie may not be fully operating until mid to late January. Until then, Best wishes from all of us in the Riverland LAPS
OVER 70 people attended the Native Fish Forum held at the Renmark Paringa Council chambers to discover the secrets of how yabbies tick. The evening was one of many events held throughout the Murray Darling Basin for Native Fish Awareness Week from November 5 to 12. The evening began with a talk given by Lara Suitor from the NRM Board on research on the composition of fish communities in two different floodplains (Katarapko and Chowilla) during and after the recent high flows. A brief information session on a pest fish species recently arrived to our region; Oriental Weatherloach. This was followed by a presentation of “Talking Fish” a new collection of stories about what “fishing used to be
like” across the Murray Darling Basin. Books were presented to key contributors to the series, Gill Stoneham and John Aston, from the region. The book series can be viewed on the Native Fish Awareness Week website and will be in print soon. Dr. Michael Geddes, from the University of Adelaide, presented What makes Yabbies Tick?. After a brief yabby physiology and history lesson, Dr. Geddes focused on the ‘boom and bust’ population structure of the local yabby. He suggested that adult yabbies can burrow down to the water table to survive the dry periods. He confessed, however, that he did not know how deep the burrows could go or what sustained them while they were down there. Audience members eagerly gave information
PRESENTATION: Dr. Geddes during his yabby presentation. about depths of yabby burrows, what yabbies might be eating down there and when the last time a River Murray Crayfish was seen in the area. Overall the night was a great success with many people attending and some even hanging around to speak with the guests and share yabby stories. Many thanks to Lara Suitor, Dr. Michael
Geddes, Renmark to the Border LAP committee member Peter Teakle and the Native Fish Awareness Week crew for making the night a great success. Additional thanks must go to the Renmark Paringa District Council, Lowana Fruits and Angove Wines for donations on the night.
tended several days of training and conducted a wetland tour of the Loveday Wetland, discussing wetland management issues and strategies. It was an eye opener to see how much planning and work is required to manage a wetland and the dedication of the people involved. This tour was combined with a tour of Banrock Station to compare a property with a long history of wetting/drying cycles. The BBLAP committee also provided a number of physical resources including field guides for the course, which was much appreciated by all. State Flora – Phil Collins took the participants behind the scenes and showed the species and quantity of plants they propagate. This organisation is a leader in the field and is always developing ways to improve the success in propagating difficult plants. Phil is a wealth of knowledge and more than willing to share this. Monarto Zoo – The trainees were given a presentation by ALOC supervisor Tim Jenkins. They were then guided by Working on Country trainees Nat and Leon to inspect native food gardens, kilometres of direct seeding and thousands of seedling plantings.
THE Riverland LAP Committees are calling on community groups, schools and individuals to come forward with any environmentally related project ideas they may have. We predict that there will be a number of small to medium grant programs available during 2012 and the LAP Committees are more than happy to assist in the development of funding applications. By being aware of protential projects in advance, we can ensure that the most appropriate funding programs are targeted and in some cases integrate projects of a similar nature together, to try and ensure that projects have the greatest chance of attracting funding.
Further information can be found at w w w. n a t i ve f i s h we e k .
Riverlanders receive accredited training in conservation and land management OVER the past few months, 11 participants from across the Riverland have been undertaking training through an Introduction to Conservation and Land Management Course. The course was run by GrowSmart Training and conducted in the field using real projects to train participants. Topics covered included chainsaw training, seed collection and propagation, plant identification, fauna surveys, navigation, map reading, remote and isolated workplace training and wetland management. The course was funded by SA Works, with each participant only having to pay $50 in course fees. In addition, GrowSmart Training would like to thank the following organisations for their support during the course: ALT/Calperum Station For the use of the property and allowing the group to be involved in genuine projects such as seed collection, propagation, plant identification and fauna surveys. The property was used as a base for a large number of the training sessions, including an overnight trip to Oak Bore. Without this support the training would not have been as successful.

Calling for new Project Ideas
New committee members for BBLAP DURING Berri Barmera LAP’s annual general meeting, the organisation welcomed three new members to its committee. Jennifer Mattinson and Julie Ann Greenhalgh, from Berri, and Matthew Gordon, from Winkie. Whilst Bob Clark has resigned due to ongoing personal commitments, these three new members bring enthusiasm and a range of new skills and interests to the committee. It also brings the total number of committee members to 12, a full quota which has not been achieved for a number of years. With the new BBLAP Strategic Plan almost completed, Berri Barmera LAP is looking forward to a successful 2012 and beyond.
Environmental education award TRAINING: Participants learning about plant identification as part of their Conservation and Land Management Training.
The group were impressed with the enthusiasm and knowledge of the ALOC trainees. All participants in the course have expressed that they have learnt valuable new skills and plan on applying them and their accreditation into future activities and job seeking. Without exception, they have also all expressed a willingness to volunteer in future environmental activities across the region.
GrowSmart Training is intending to run a similar course again in 2012, with a number of people already interested. The above organisations have again expressed a willingness to support the program, with others possibly interested in getting involved as well. If you would like to know more information, contact Steve Gibbs, trainer/assessor for GrowSmart on 0488 109 278.
THE Environmental Education Award is up and running again this year with the opportunity for two applicants to be awarded in 2012. The award was created to encourage local students to complete further environmental studies at TAFE or university. The award is open to students who ordinarily reside within the RBLAP region (District Council of Renmark Paringa) and provides the successful applicant with $1500 per semester for a maximum of three years. Applications are due by February 15, 2012. For more information and an application pack, please contact the RBLAP on 8586 6633.

Working with the community to support the local environment
Take an online tour through the habitat of Katfish Reach THE Katfish Reach website has a new interactive feature, a habitat tour which allows the viewer to explore the sights of the area, the colourful wildlife
and diverse flora and read about the characteristics of the different types of environmental settings. There are eight distinct ha habitat types in the Katfish Re Reach area, each with a different ec ecological description and ha habitat diversity. They range from slow flowing creeks to fast flowing cr creeks, temporary to permanent w wetlands, and dune systems t floodplain woodlands and to s shrublands. An interactive map of the Katfish Reach area allows the viewer to hover over each habitat type, to gain an insight
into the extent and location of the habitat, with reference to the River Murray, creeks and floodplains and surrounding towns and roads. The viewer will learn the types of wildlife and flora to be expected at each habitat type and how they will vary between the different areas. For example, the types of birds to be found at a temporary wetland, such as the white-faced heron and australasian grebe, will contrast the birds of the floodplain woodland habitat, which is likely to be home to the whistling kite and white-plumed honeyeater. The habitat tour is a useful

APPRECIATE: RWLAP volunteer Darren Schmitke has spent hours of his own time researching and setting up motion detecting nest cameras for the Regent Parrot project.
Volunteers are vital VOLUNTEERS underpin the management of natural resources in the SA Murray-Darling Basin. Whether individual volunteers, members of small volunteer community groups, volunteers on committees or short-term volunteers visiting our region, the state of our environment without these important people does not bear thinking about. To ensure that volunteers and the organisations that work with them get the best possible support, the SA MDB NRM Board, in partnership with Volunteering SA and NT, and in close consultation with volunteers and other stakeholders, has recently developed a regional NRM volunteer strategy. The strategy identified eight key objectives for improving volunteer management relating to improving recognition, increasing recruitment, ensuring effective communication, providing ad-
KAREN Bishop, project officer for Riverland West LAP has seen some amazing sites in the field over the past few weeks. The mini cyclone that hit Waikerie a couple of weeks ago not only wrought havoc in the town but wetlands also received some significant damage. Mature red gums and black box have either been ripped out of the ground or major limbs have been torn off and thrown around, making it hazardous to negotiate some tracks. On a more positive note, with the high water receding, it is very exciting to see the number of juvenile river red gums and black box seedlings emerging around
equate funding, ensuring volunteer safety and wellbeing, establishing effective governance systems, developing knowledge and skills and ensuring that technical support is available. Re c o m m e n d a t i o n s were also made about how the various groups and stakeholders involved could best work together to achieve these objectives. Since the strategy’s release, a range of new initiatives have been introduced across the region including volunteer celebrations, a program of training for volunteers and volunteer managers and a volunteer small grants program (the next round of which will open in early 2012 with a closing date of March 31, 2012). For more information on volunteering or for a copy of the volunteer strategy, contact Miranda Leckie on 8532 9100 or visit the website www.samdbnrm. sa.gov.au.
the wetlands. Whilst monitoring at Murbpook lagoon, it was fantastic to discover a small group of prickly bottlebrush (Callistemon Brachyandrus), a species of conservation significance. On the flip side to this, we have found the presence of golden dodder at a number of sites as well. This is a declared plant and is easily recognisable by its golden thread appearance. It is a parasitic climber which is spread by seeds and pieces and is often carried by water. If you see this plant, it is important to report it to either your local LAP office or contact the SA MDB NRM Board.

Joint meeting reveals local Salt Interception Scheme progress LAST week the Pike River Land Management and Murtho Road Irrigators groups held a joint meeting to update their members on the Salt Interception Scheme (SIS) in the Renmark region. Over 30 people attended the meeting to hear an update on the SIS from Peter Forward, principal engineer, of salt interception from SA Water. Peter gave an involved presentation starting with a short history of the SIS and the current status of SIS schemes in the Riverland. In total the schemes now have over 200 bores and over 200kilometers of pipelines and together are preventing about 500 tonnes of salt per day from entering the River Murray. Peter then spoke about the Pike and the significance of SIS for the region in order to effectively manage the salinity in the area and prevent potential effects further downstream. Andrew Telfer, from Australian Water Environments, having been involved in the Pike project and since the inception of the SIS in the late 1980s, provided a short presentation on new concepts of groundwater movement and the consequences for management of saline areas, in particular processes of salt storage and release on the floodplains. Tom Campbell, the project manager for Murtho SIS, was also present to give an update on the works of the Murtho SIS and the stage that the scheme was at. Tom’s description and photos of the works outlined how involved and technical the investigations, design and construction of SIS installation is. The Murtho SIS is due to be completed in the new year. All presentations were well received and members were able to ask questions and speak with the presenters at a light supper following the meeting. RBLAP would like to thank the presenters for their time and both groups for their involvement in the meeting.

MORGAN CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
Morgan’s got pageant fever T
HERE is excitement brewing in the streets of Morgan for Saturday’s Christmas pageant which will feature more than 50 colourful floats. The day’s events will be jam packed with entertainment to be headed by The South Australian detachment of the Royal Australian Navy Band for the third consecutive year. Morgan Christmas Pageant committee member Lin Petros hopes many people will attend the popular festive celebration. “I think everyone’s really keen, they have a great time,� she said. There is plenty of entertainment on offer for everyone including markets and live music from 2pm, stalls, amusement rides for children and delicious food. Lin said the pageant offers something for all age groups. “It’s just so family friendly, there’s something for everyone,� she said. Stall numbers are up for this year’s riverfront markets and the small community of Morgan is getting involved in much of the preparation. Last year over 600 people attended Morgan’s Christmas parade made up of 48 imaginative floats. Starting at 6pm, more than twenty navy musicians will strike up the band playing festive tunes and lead the pageant from the
marshalling point at the lookout on Railway Terrace. The pageant will follow the same route as last year, down between the hotels twice before all floats and entries make their way to the Lions Riverfront Reserve.
It’s just so family friendly, there’s something for everyone.
The anticipated arrival of Santa heralds much excitement and children are encouraged to take up their viewing positions along the pageant route early and to create chalk drawings on the roadway to welcome the plump man in the red suit. Directly after the conclusion of the pageant, Santa and the Christmas Pageant Princess will distribute free Christmas goodie bags to the first 200 children present under 12 years of age. After entertainment from the navy band, at 9pm the evening will be rounded out by a spectacular over water fireworks display, labelled as one of the biggest in the Riverland.

A dependable choice W
OULDN’T it be nice to have something you can depend on? Three words: solid brick home. There are few things that are as safe as a large solid family home and here is one waiting for new owners. The home features a three bedroom design set in a quiet street close to just about everything. Shops, schools and civic services, are all close at hand.
The wonderful front yard is easy to maintain thanks to a handy dripper watering system and the rear yard has a large shed with room for multiple cars and work shop. Inside the house you have one bathroom and two toilets. One of the toilets thoughtfully comes off of the family/pool room. This home has a lot of potential, all it needs is a new family.

GARDENINGGARDENING WITH ANDREWWITH WALLADGE ANDREW WALLADGE
Turning a lump of timber into something beautiful H
ow many of us have gone for a drive or perhaps a walk and only just see what is there rather than seeing what could be? Let me explain. If you are looking to take a photo we tend (or at least I do) look at things and situations differently. We take more time to notice the light, colours
and the background. If it’s nearly lunch time while you are travelling we tend to look for pleasant shady spots to rest or maybe somewhere with a good view. However, if you are a woodworker or a timber and/or plant enthusiast, you would see plants and trees in a different light. Rather than just seeing
the raw tree, we see what it could potentially be. I think most trees are beautiful and deserve their place but timber is a product much like fruit, cork or any other of the myriad of products derived from plants. Thankfully in our midst, there are highly talented people that can see a lump of timber and turn it into something quite extraordinary. Australian timbers are some of the most beautiful in the world (yes, and
I’m biased) and deserve to be used where possible for all sorts of purposes. In the past, huon pine was used to build ships. Light weight, rot and insect proof with a magnificent fragrance, the timber is highly sort after now for craft wood. The local native pine was put to good use by pioneers for its termite resistance. Our arid and semi rainfall zones support many slower growing, tough, and at times, unusual timber plants. One of the wattles from the inland has purple timber and another from Western Australia smells of raspberry jam.
■UNUSUAL: There are many uses for timber, including creating a wooden soccer ball. I could go on and on but suffice to say if you are into beautiful objects, items skilfully made from Australian timbers must be on your ‘to do list’ or ‘go out and buy’ list.
One could actually plant a tree with the view to one day harvest its timber to create something special like a soccer ball or perhaps a violin.
Award winning gardener shares tips on summer growing By CALLUM TRIFONOFF SUMMER has arrived and the sun is drenching gardens with its rays. Award winning Waikerie gardener Brandon Webster has worked through many seasons and knows what it takes to maintain a patch through hot and cold weather conditions. For 80 years, Mr Webster has produced arrays of coloured flowers from a number of varieties and learnt the craft from
his mother, who had a passion for gardening. One of the most important aspects of creating a garden is mulch, according to Mr Webster. “When one of our trees drops its leaves, we pick them up and put them in a corner and it turns into mulch,� he said. “There’d be 25 years of mulch I’ve got here. “I don’t use any manure or anything on my garden, it’s all
mulch.� Watering is obviously a key aspect of growing a garden but Mr Webster said plants can be over watered. “In summer time I water the garden every second day,� he said. If you are a beginner when it comes to gardening, there are some drought tolerant and easy species to grow. “Grow some of the easier ones like the pelargoniums and geraniums,� Mr Webster said.

Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle BERMUDA Triangle. Triangle of death. Devil’s triangle. Hoodoo sea. All of these names mean the same thing as they all refer to the myth and legend surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is located in the southern Atlantic Ocean and is an approximate triangular shape. It boarders Miami, Florida and Puerto Rico and the mystery about this small area is the fact that many have travelled through its waters and never returned. Five torpedo bombers embarked on an over water training navigation run in 1945 over the Bermuda Triangle. The infamous run, known as Flight 19, was
Charlotte Elliott Teen perspective led by experienced pilot Charles Taylor and while investigations state the crew were lost and ran out of fuel, the wreckage or bodies of 14 airmen were never discovered. In another twist, 13 crew members of the aircraft searching for the torpedo bombers also never returned. Perhaps another victim of the Bermuda Triangle? There have been theories, naturally. Some people reckon there is some kind of sink hole or magnetic force. I am not sure what to think.
Boats and ships have also gone missing in Bermuda waters. How do you explain that? Some people think that surely all the disappearances over the triangle are not merely just coincidences. Maybe the Bermuda Triangle is just one of life’s mysteries. My personal theory is that maybe it is a bad storm area. Maybe we will find out one day or maybe we will never know.

WAKEBOARD SA STOP THREE
State’s best boarders on show
■ ACTION PACKED: Top South Australian wakeboarders will be showing off a number of tricks during Wakeboard SA’s stop three at Renmark on Saturday.
SOME of South Australia’s best wakeboarders will be showing their class when Wakeboard SA hosts stop three of its season in Renmark on Saturday. Wakeboard SA president Mark Bridger said the competitors always enjoy coming to the Riverland. “It’s a big event, it’s good for Renmark, it’s good for the sport,” he said.
“We’ll be running a double up contest under lights and that will be huge. “There’s going to be some kneeboarding and some airchairs. “It’s going to be spectacular.” World champion Parker Siegele, country champion Luke Matson and state champion Tommy Lindsay will be a few big name boarders to compete.
Other talent on display at the Renmark riverfront will be top women’s rider Daniella Lambert, who lists her riding location as Blanchetown, and 2010/11 junior men’s state title holder Nelson Kincaid. “We’ve got quite a few open pros,” Mr Bridger said. Mr Bridger expects a large turnout due to the Riverland “always
embracing” wakeboarding. “This should be one of the larger turnouts because a lot of young people appreciate the sport being so close to the Murray River,” he said. “No matter where you sit, you’ve got the best seat in the house.” Around 35 competitors are expected to take part in the Renmark event which begins at 9am.
Wakeboard SA will also host its next stop at Morgan on January 14. On January 7 there will also be another wakeboard event at Hogwash Bend, Waikerie, titled Wake Up VS YHK, come and try day. Wakeboard SA was unable to confirm whether there would be any local wakeboarders at the Renmark and Morgan events.

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF RAMCO has reappointed Andrew Bevan for a second term as coach and he is hopeful of leading his team to a finals finish next year. The team narrowly missed out on a place in the Riverland Football League Independent finals series last season and Bevan is keen to see improvement. “It was great watching the young kids develop,” he said. “I put them pretty well through their paces with the A grade and a couple of them stepped up. “I definitely want to make finals this year. “We should’ve made finals last year.” Bevan said Ramco is also looking at a number of potential recruits. “We’re trying to get my step-lad Cameron Hawke (from Waikerie),” he said. “If he comes down he might bring a couple of his Waikerie lads. “We’ll approach a few from Waikerie.” The Roosters will look to a core group of players in Max Baddack, Jeremy Jaeger, Daniel Donnolly and Marcus McGrath next season. Meanwhile, there are only two Independent clubs yet to announce a coach for the 2012 season. Officials from East Murray and Wunkar confirmed an announcement on coaches will be made before the end of the year. Clubs that have appointed a coach for 2012 are Moorook-Kingston (Cecil Rigney), Brown’s Well (Lance Degenhardt), Cobdogla (Brad Gillespie), Lyrup (Shane Healy), Paringa (Arrod Westley) and Blanchetown-Swan Reach (Peter Zadow).

certainly have had a better reflection on the RTCA both here, including amongst our youngsters, and elsewhere than by a forfeit.
■ HISTORY was made in the recent Twenty20 round of the Pinnaroo and Border Association when Pinnaroo’s Kane O’loughlin scored the first century ever in the competition’s shorter form of the game. Kane’s 109, with support from Sunyl Vogt’s 69, got the team to 3 for 199, to which Murrayville had no answer, as it was all out for just 34. The other game was much closer with top side Lameroo scoring 4 for 125 (Josh Ridgway 49, Craig Altus 40,) to just beat Parilla 5 for 118, (Nick Dabinett 39, Leith Dabinett 35).
■ MANY people are suggesting that, standard aside and in some instances debatable, the B grade competition with more teams is a good place to be in right now, even for our juniors, where some good work is being done with them by senior players. The cricket is being played in good spirit with the competition very competitive.
Smashing Burnett
Kelvin’s comeback?
■ BERRI’S Paul Burnett found form with the bat for the Riverland in the zone game against Mid Murray recently, smashing 150, while Loxton spinner Shaun Reilly picked up a remarkable 5/6.
■ BARMERA butcher and one of local cricket’s favourite sons Kelvin Carter should be encouraged to get back into the game super quick. Kelvin played for a long time standing up to men of pace and risking head and limb as one of the most determined local batsmen playing the game before his body finally told him “enough” and convinced him to turn to the less threatening sport of lawn bowls. He now has a nasty Achilles injury at his busiest time of the year and is a bit like Santa, calling on his willing helpers to put in a bit more so that he can maintain the excellent service in his shop that he pursues in the same manner he used to
No third team ■ WITH Renmark unable to field a side in last Saturday’s one day cricket final, was there a provision in the book of rules for the third placed team to be invited to take part as Berri’s opponent? The late decision by Renmark may have meant the fixture be held at a later date but so what? The one day cup result actually being decided by playing a game would

chase runs. Yes turning to bowls Kelvin overlooked that while the sport may be a bit less demanding on the green, it can still be a long day from the first bowl until the time you make it home. Reports on the cause of Kelvin’s injury vary and are vague but some of his team mates tell me he departed the greens sound of leg. I can only assume then it was the getting home bit that got him. I wish my old mate a speedy recovery and can arrange a good price for him on a new bat, pads and gloves.
Cobby charge ■ HAS a young Cobdogla turned things around after defeating Wunkar easily in the B grade on the weekend?
Return to form ■ MICHAEL Gutsche scored half his team’s score in a horrible loss to Monash on Saturday. Loxton A grade need the key batsman to return to form after Christmas.

Loxton North appoints new president By CALLUM TRIFONOFF NEWLY appointed Loxton North president Victor Kudra is hopeful of leading the club into a “golden era”. Taking the reigns from Linton Proud for the 2012 Riverland Football League season, Mr Kudra is excited about the club's future prospects. Having been involved with the club as a major sponsor for around 10 years, Mr Kudra said it was the club's friendly, family atmosphere that led him to accept the president’s role. “From the moment I walked into the club, (they have been) one of the friendliest bunch of blokes and women you could ever meet,” he said. “I'm absolutely over the moon that I was approached
and asked to be involved in a greater capacity.” Mr Kudra has previous experience in leadership roles among various community organisations and clubs, including as president of the Renmark Swimming Club and Riverland Musical Society and chair of Our Lady of the River School committee. He is confident the reigning premier can keep its success going for years to come. “We all thought we'd do reasonably well last year and it was a bonus to pull off the premiership,” he said. “We've got some very talented players and fantastic coaching staff.” Loxton North has also announced its new B grade coach, well known Panther Darren Schwarz signing to replace Brett Tschirpig who will focus on being the A grade
assistant coach and runner next season. A grade coach Craig Wooldridge is delighted to have two well respected members of the club involved in 2012. “Victor has always been there, he's always taken an interest,” Wooldridge said. “It's a really good appointment for Victor to be named as president of the footy club. “Darren and I have been pretty good friends and played a lot of footy together.” Schwarz is looking forward to working closely with Wooldridge. “My aim is to back Craig up with the style of play that his team plays,” he said. “Hopefully we can have a few good players coming through the reserves who can put some pressure on the A grade.”

The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...
Riverlander pulls in 88 centimetre monster at New South Wales Cod Classic 2011
Reeling in the big catch n I CAN hear him now, “top catch that”. Not legendary cricket commentator Richie Benaud but Kym Manning of the United Roadhouse and Top Catch Fishing Centre in Barmera. Kym has just returned from the 2011 Cod Classic on Lake Mulwala, New South Wales, where he landed a decent Murray cod measuring 40 centimetres. However, he did not come home with the biggest bragging rights. Amongst his Riverland party was his son Aaron who pulled a 55 centimetre beauty into the boat and just before the competition concluded, Berri’s Matt Littledyke really improved on that and hauled in an 88 centimetre mon-
Historian calls cricket meeting at Renmark n RESPECTED local sports historian, Renmark’s David Dunhill, is promoting a social get together and information evening tonight to discuss the most suitable way of celebrating 100 years of competitive cricket being played in the Renmark area. All are welcome at the event with an emphasis on any present day or past players and officials that have been connected with various clubs involved over the years in the Renmark District Cricket Association. Members of the Renmark Turf and B Grade teams and players that have represented the local zone in the annual SACA Country Carnival are also urged to attend. Proposals concerning appropriate celebrations will be discussed, while the availability of suitable memorabilia will also be of interest. Possibly, if sufficient interest is registered in the proposal, celebrations could take place in late February or in October next year. David has compiled a 92 page record of historical information called ‘Cricket Analysis – A History of Cricket in Renmark’ to compliment his ‘The Jubilee Yearbook of RDCA Cricket’ produced in 1979-80, when a hotel dinner was held to celebrate cricket’s 60th year in the district. The event will be held at the Renmark Rovers Sporting Club from 7.30 to 8.30pm.
ster, the third biggest fish landed during the event. Matt grabbed himself a $600 fishing rod and reel combo as a prize and went within 200 millimetres of getting himself into an elite national cod fishing tournament. They catch and release the fish back into the Murray at the competition but according to Kym, Matt had trouble getting something into his ute after the event – his head! Could be sour grapes Matt congratulations. And you could certainly excuse Matt for feeling pretty good about himself as he chose to hook his big fish with only a half an hour to go before finishing time. Not only was the timing on his side but he also caught the prize

The Cod Classic has been going for 12 years, is Australia’s richest freshwater fishing tournament and this year attracted something like 3000 anglers, 1400 boats and boasted prizes valued
at over $125,000. Not bad when you consider the competition is a fundraiser for the Mulwula Football/Netball Club and it only had 44 entries in its first year in 2000. Also today, unofficially, the congregation of trailerable boats at the event is a world record for the largest number of fishing boats
ever assembled at one location at the same time. The event is an amazing sight and despite the congestion, there is still plenty of room to fish on the lake. The local tourist association estimates that the competition generates around $3.2 million into the region.
Talented zone squad ready to tackle Upper North n A GLANCE at the squad announced for our bowling zone region four to play an annual match against Upper North at Jamestown on Sunday suggests it is a pretty formidable group. Included amongst the reserves are some really big local bowling names like Dennis Treloar (Berri), John Morena (Barmera), Graeme Huppatz (Loxton), Brian Burnett (Waikerie) and Kevin Gebhardt (Broken Hill). The naming of former state representative Treloar in that capacity is interesting and may well be some wishful thinking on the selectors part as they hope that come round robin time in Adelaide, in February, he may be free of the harvest commitments on his property that have often made him unavailable. There really does seem to be a welcome new positive approach to both the selection and availability of players as far as our representative teams are concerned. Officials are genuinely excited about the squad they are sending to play Upper North, which is considered a trial for the round robin event. Four of the skippers named
for the Jamestown showdown are from the Riverland, Berri’s Andrew Hill and Mark Kubank, Peter Kimber (Loxton) and Gary Pursche (Waikerie) and they will be joined in the role by George Fergusson (Freeling) and Peter Gageler (Broken Hill).
There really does seem to be a welcome new positive approach to selection. Other Riverland members of the squad are Graham King, Ken Stokes (Berri), Terry Thurston, Trevor Schulz (Loxton), Phil Ashton (Barmera), Roger Davies, Wayne Collins, Barry Harden (Waikerie), Bill Dopson and John Thompson (Renmark). The rest of the squad features Lyndoch’s Paul Uranjek, Kapunda’s Martin Dew, Angaston’s Brian Bowden, Freeling’s Chris Kearns and Justin Morris and Nuriootpas’ Robert Grope from the Barossa Association, while Barry Hooker and Mark Bloomfield come from Broken Hill. Barossa’s Chris Jones and Dave Wilson are also reserves.
Dunk and Thomas win despite capsize n IDEAL sailing conditions continued at Barmera last Saturday for the Lake Bonney Yacht Club’s Handicap B Race, with strong gusts of wind in the northern area of the lake. The two leading mosquito yachts in the event, Peter Dunk and Kirsten Thomas aboard Natural Progression and Steve Thomas with Just Do It, engaged themselves in a strong challenge for first
Meanwhile, the reason that women’s pennants is in the middle of a strange two week break in its program has been disclosed. Originally bowl’s headquarters ruled all competitions were to be halted so that people could travel to Adelaide to support the major Asia
place. In the end Dunk and Thomas had to play catch up sailing after experiencing a spectacular capsize on the fourth leg of the course but worked hard to clinch victory. In form John Eshman sailing Talisman, worked himself into second place with Thomas finishing third. Championship heat three is being held this Saturday.
Pacific tournament being staged there. That instruction was later withdrawn but by then the women’s association had drawn up their 201112 program. In men’s pennants it was no secret that Loxton desperately needed to defeat top side Berri last Saturday to improve its chances of booking a place in the finals that it has traditionally made its own for many years. Loxton gave the top team a run for its money, winning three of the four rinks in some tough contests only to have the Andrew Hill led team of Graham Elleway, Lui
Schmaal is a true champion n THE Barmera Gun Club held three events in its clay target program on Sunday. The events held included the 50 Target Double Barrel Peter Caddy Memorial where the overall and AA Grade winner was Adrian Mattschoss with a score of 49/50, one target ahead of Trevor Shaddock. Jake Mattschoss with 47/50 won the A Grade, Tom Drakopoulos 48/50 claimed B grade honours and Jim Pankhurst, also the winner of the Turkey Shoot, was the top C Grader with 41/50.
The Deauville Doubles with drawn partners went to Colin Jacobs and Ray Wylie with 19/20, with Jacobs also taking out the A Grade in the 25 Target Skeet with a score of 25/25. Equal first in the B Grade were Trevor Shaddock and Robert Maywald on 24/25 and the winner of the C Grade with 22/25 was Peter Brister. Trevor Shaddock was the High Gun winner with a score of 72/75, while Eric Schmaal was named the 2011 Champion of Champions with a final result of 210/225.
Recchia and Kerry Treloar, for Berri, brilliantly grab victory 36-6 against Terry Thurston’s four bowlers. I am sure that Thurston would agree that sport can certainly produce highs and lows as only the previous weekend he, with his Loxton club mate Mick Nugent, won the local state pairs competition. Loxton is now in fifth position on the ladder on 43 points and were fortunate that fourth ranked Renmark RSL (61points) went down to near neighbour Renmark (77), otherwise Loxton’s final’s gate may have been all but closed. Berri is dominating at the top of the table on 101 points but what about an increasingly more confident Waikerie who are on 83 points and on Saturday were ruthless in brushing aside bottom placed Barmera. Are Waikerie the real deal and genuine threats to the Berri dominance? The two sides will meet in the first round after the Christmas break on January 7, at Waikerie. Second division produced a surprise result on Saturday with Barmera, in 11th position, upsetting top side Renmark 66-53.
Six teams face off in Twenty20 n From Page 32 In Sunday’s program, Renmark, Loxton and Cobdogla form Group One and Berri, Monash and Cadell make up Group Two. In round one, beginning at 9.30am, Renmark plays Loxton on Oval No 1 and Berri meets Monash at Renmark’s No 2 oval. At 12.30pm, it is Loxton versus Cobdogla (No 1 oval) and Monash versus Cadell (No 2) in round two action and at 3.30pm Renmark will play Cobdogla and Berri will meet Cadell in the final round. The two leading teams from each group will advance to the finals at Berri, with run rates called on to separate any clubs if necessary. Prize money to the winner will be $500, with prizes also available to anyone who hits sponsor signs that will be erected during both the group stage and finals.

numbers. RTCA president Danial Shawyer, an active member of the Renmark Cricket Club, is always going to be between a rock and a hard place in a situation such as this, despite his best endeavours. It is a real flaw in this necessity to rotate amongst clubs to find officers for the association. To find someone with an understanding of his position, Danial only has to call Monash’s Peter Roberts who found himself in a similar situation not so long ago, ironically over a dispute concerning

unqualified player to play and it is submitted in writing to the secretary would we allow it?’. After the earlier vote, how was that ‘loose’ suggestion going to resolve the situation? The minutes note ‘Discussion. Proposal declined. RTCA bye law to stand as written’. Surprise, surprise. Explanations for Renmark’s forfeit include it only having nine players qualified but there are reports that this figure was 18. However during a call from Shawyer on another matter, he assured me that insufficient players were available for the game when injury and fringe players being absent for the day were taken into account. Now for the benefit of Renmark, those factors should have perhaps been the real issues various reports focused on. The RTCA, certainly Berri and most importantly the game itself, may just have come out of this situation the better. On the events that transpired, Berri skipper Paul Burnett said “as always the Berri Cricket Club wants to play and we were ready to do just that, play cricket, right up until Saturday morning, only to be really disappointed that the grand final was not to take place”. “Any decisions in this matter were made by the RTCA and as one of the member clubs we will always respect and support any ruling that they make,” he said. “We will now get on with the remainder of the 2011-212 season”.

Our bowling domination n THE excitement that exists about our zone’s preparation and prospects for major bowls competitions that lay ahead in 2011-12 took me back to 2006-7, when we really had a reason to celebrate. Firstly our men defeated Upper North at Jamestown in the annual selection trial for the SA Country round robin event in Adelaide in a cliff hanger finish, four rinks, 183 shots to four rinks and 167 shots. A rink led by Broken Hill’s Mark Bloomfield and involving Riverlanders Ken Stokes, Barry Harden and Steve Ivanovic set up the victory. The team was then named for the North East zone comprising Riverland, Mid Murray, Barossa and Broken Hill players and included familiar names like Stokes, Davies, Kubank, Hill,
Huppatz, Eichenberger, Van der Wyst, Pursche, Thurston, R. Thompson, M. Wachtel, J. Thompson and Heins from the Riverland and Brandle from the Mid Murray. While shortly afterwards the women’s line-up was released and included Treloar, Lee, Teasdale, Elsworthy, Lloyd, B.Taylor, J. Cooper, N. Burns and L. Nitschke (Riverland) and Davies (Mid Murray). In a sensational performance, both teams went on to win their respective round robin events, which involved eight country zones from across SA. The best rink for the men, when the zone won six games and drew one over the competition, was skippered by Berri’s Mark Kubank and included John Van der Wyst, Gary Pursche and Angaston’s Brian Bowden and for the
women, when they broke a 16 year title drought, competition first timer Lyrup’s Noreen Burns (skipper), Nancy Teasdale, Mavis Elsworthy and Broken Hill’s Judy Calleia were part of the triumph. But that’s not all. Over 500 teams and 2000 bowlers commenced the SA Country Men’s Fours Championship but when it came down to the final, it was remarkably Riverland versus Riverland. After a titanic struggle it was Dennis Treloar, Stokes, Kym Ruediger and recruit Michael Treloar (Whyalla) that fought back from six shots down at one stage to defeat Van der Wyst, Andrew Hill, Steve Eichenberger and Kubank 16-14. Many of the stars of those campaigns remain for the same events this season and we wish the teams well.

Berri Cricket Club should be given a right of reply, at least through this column. Firstly it is obvious that the RTCA bye law stating ‘no player shall take part in any final round match unless that player has played at least four minor round playing days for that club’ had the potential to cause some problems, particularly after the last minute reduction in A grade teams from five to four. However I am told that most clubs were able to manage their player lists over the six matches available to qualify sufficient
the qualification of players. Talking to Shawyer, he advised that he had initially taken up with all clubs, by personal contact, the possibility of reaching an agreement for a reduction of the games necessary to qualify for the one day final as a one off situation. From that he believed such an arrangement could be made. On November 2, the RTCA secretary emailed all A grade clubs and umpires with a proposal valid only for the 2011-12 season, stating ‘to qualify for the A grade one day final, a player must have played two minor round playing days for the club’. It noted that ‘100 per cent agreement from all four A grade club presidents and captains and also from the umpires was required for this exception to occur’. In response, Renmark voted in favour of the proposal, two clubs including Berri abstained but it made no difference, as both the president and captain of another club did not support the amendment, while an umpire expressed dissatisfaction with the approach. The RTCA then ruled that as there had been objection to the proposal, the original bye law would stand. That surely should have been the end of the issue. However it did not end there as someone was not taking no for an answer. The RTCA then called a meeting for November 23 to raise the question, ‘if the two clubs find an agreement that allows an

n LAST weekend some media reports on Renmark’s forfeit in the Riverland Turf Cricket Association A grade one day cricket grand final clearly indicated that a lot of the blame for the club’s situation rested with its opponent for the game, the Berri Cricket Club. It did not take long after adverse publicity hit the streets to gauge that members of the Berri club were extremely concerned at the criticism they were facing. For my own interest, I spoke at length to the club’s captain Paul Burnett for his side of the story and also obtained copies of any relevant RTCA minutes relating to the issue in question. It was not difficult to do, any journalist or commentator could have done the same thing. The first thing I noted from the minutes was that it appeared that none of the people pointing the finger at Berri appeared to have attended any of the meetings. I have an obvious connection with the Berri Cricket Club, so even after taking the above action, I initially decided the matter was not something that I wanted to involve myself in. That was however until I became aware of the bitter criticism being directed out in the wider community towards the alleged villains in this fiasco. This was just not cricket. I decided that in the interests of fair play, there were certain comments and information that needed to be aired so that people could make up their own minds about the matter and that the

n tricky: The Renmark riverfront will be full of high flying action when Wakeboard SA riders hit the River Murray this weekend. Full story Page 28. Photo: file
SIX teams have entered into Sunday’s inaugural invitational Twenty20 cricket competition after clubs from the Riverland, Mid Murray, Renmark District and Pinnaroo and Border associations were approached to take part. Pinnaroo and Border declined to participate because it has a competition in the shorter form of the game on its own program but teams from Monash, Renmark, Berri, Loxton, Cobdogla and Mid Murray’s Cadell will compete. The initial group stages will be held at Renmark’s No 1 and No 2 ovals this Sunday, with the final at Berri under lights on Friday, January 20. The night game is an interesting proposal and may lead to more activity of a similar nature in the future if successful. n Continued Page 30
