DATE DEVELOPMENT
THE Gurra Downs Date Company has been given a major boost through the Federal Government’s Caring for our Country program, with the horticulture business receiving more than $200,000 in funding. The Riverland company was one of six environmental organisations in the Barker electorate to share in $730,000 of funding.
REPORT BY
BRAD PERRY Gurra Downs Date Company co-owner Anita Reilly said the funding will help towards research and development. “It’s all about promoting the
Australian date industry and pushing the industry forward and expanding the research and development side of the work that we do,� she said. “Every time we are looking for funding it is simply just to push the industry forward. “Getting some funding like this is just going to help enormously.� Mrs Reilly has just returned
from an overseas trip with husband Dave, who is currently undertaking part of his Nuffield Scholarship. “I’ve just been over to the USA with Dave on the first leg of his study tour and we spent a couple of weeks in Arizona, California and Mexico looking at the date industry over there and we were just totally blown away with what those guys are doing,�

she said. “We’ve walked away from the California, Arizona scene and we are even more confident.� The Gurra Downs property continues to be a focal point for the date industry.

Council’s open space grants
EDITORIAL BY
THE State Government yesterday announced almost $50,000 in funding to two Riverland open space projects. The Mid Murray Council received $31,250 for the Morgan Riverfront Precinct, while Renmark Paringa Council was successful in obtaining $15,000 for an Open Space and Public Realm Strategy. Planning minister John Rau said the grants are part of $7.6 million in funding to improve public spaces in the state.

No go for Big Orange I WAS very disappointed to learn that the owner of Berri’s Big Orange was denied a $1.4 million project to reopen the Riverland icon. In a slow economic climate, surely the Riverland could do with a boost. The opening of the oversized piece of fruit would do just that. However, it appears the State Government has other projects on the agenda as part of its $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund. It is a pity that an asset such as the Big Orange is not being put to better use. There is a constant flow of visitors stopping to take photos, only to be greeted with a closed sign and a fence blocking their views. I remember seeing the orange as a child and it was something that stuck in my memory. In fact, I had a very vague memory of Berri but I could not forget that giant fruit that left me amazed as a young boy. There is no doubt many other people have experienced something very similar. If only the Big Orange would open again (with the help of the State Government) and Berri would rejoin the deserving list of oversized fruits in Australia.

Berri reserve’s new signs due to its condition. “I’ve had some discussions with our regional contact in the department of transport and that most recent contact was made after half a dozen queries from folks in the Riverland saying ‘where are the old wilabalangoo signs’?� he said. “We narrowed it down to find that there had been a contract let to a company to go out and remove all the different signs that

However, Downer Australia has now agreed to sponsor the signage. “The mere fact the company has said they are happy to take care of business for us, we are absolutely delighted,� Mr Williams said.
A NUMBER of local businesses who remained open over the long weekend reported it to be the busiest period in the past six months. People flocked to food shops across Berri, where the Riverland Farmers’ Market experienced a booming trade. Business Riverland president Barry Phillips said long weekends are often very busy times for local traders. “Being the long weekend and with the country music festival streteching out to encompass Berri and Barmera and other Riverland towns, I would suggest things would have been reasonably buoyant,� he said. “I was at the Berri Riverside Caravan Park last Thursday having a conversation with Kay and Max Kubenk there and the caravan park was full on Thursday. “People who stay in caravans, inevitably go for a walk up the main streets, so one would suggest that certainly the shops would have had a reasonable period of trading on the Saturday.�

THE Renmark Paringa Council will decide on the preferred design standard of flood levee banks at a workshop with consultant Bill Nicol. At last month’s council meeting, a recommendation was put forward to adopt a one in a 100 year annual exceedance probability flood event. That would mean a maximum protection of river flows at 235,000 megalitres per day and
600 millimetres of freeboard at a cost of nearly $2 million or a cost of $825,000 without freeboard. However, council has decided to hold a workshop before choosing its flood protection for the Renmark township and adjacent horticultural precincts. Previous mapping suggests that council is currently protected from floods of up to 220,000
megalitres per day and if no further mitigation works were undertaken, it would be an annual flood probability of approximately one in 90 years. Renmark Paringa Mayor Neil Martinson said there are divided views on the subject. “We are going to have a workshop to go through it with our flood mitigation officer who council hasn’t met formally yet,� he said.

Mayor to discuss possibility of moving icon after funding rejection
Big disappointment By BRAD PERRY BERRI Barmera Council Mayor Peter Hunt will meet with the owner of the Big Orange to discuss potentially moving the tourist icon to another location after a $1.4 million proposal to reopen the attraction was unsuccessful. Closed to the public since 2004, Big Orange owner Frank Vallelonga applied to the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund in February to reopen the icon as a family friendly tourism attraction. However, the State Government denied Mr Vallelonga’s dollar-for-dollar application. Mr Hunt is hoping to discuss
the possibility of helping access other avenues of grant funding for the project or even the idea of relocating the oversized fruit. “I believe the Big Orange could have been brought back to its former glory as it was many years ago,” Mr Hunt said. “It just seems a pity that what Frank is suggesting now is he may not be able to go ahead with that project. “I think the big thing (to discuss) will be whether it could be removed from that site and if that was a possibility.” Mr Vallelonga included the addition of a cafe, mini-golf course, a water slide, playground, bumper cars and a number of
other attractions in the project. “We were actually looking at the tourism industry in this case and it was something outside of agriculture,” Mr Hunt said. “There have been a few projects in the Berri Barmer area that have been knocked back.” While open to discussions with Mr Hunt, Mr Vallelonga remains disheartened about being denied funding for the project. “I was pretty upset over it,” he said. “We spent a bit of time and money putting in this proposal and for what, nothing. “It was going to be a stateof-the-art thing, something that the Riverland could have
been proud of. “It would have been good for the families with kids to take them there because there’s really nowhere you can take your family anyway.” Mr Vallelonga, who said the Big Orange is in good condition, will discuss the icon’s future with Mr Hunt but he is happy to use the area to store trucks as part of ■ CLOSED: Berri Barmera Council Mayor Peter Hunt his business. outside the currently closed Big Orange. “I’m probably open to anything but at this stage it’s (Big Orange) not in my way,” he said. “It’s got toilets, an office and a kitchen in there, so if I want to park my trailers or park my equipment there...I can work out of there.”
Four week old Murphy’s in the spotlight HE is only four weeks old but already Loxton’s Murphy Yandell is growing to be a star. Just six days after being born, James and Trish Yandell agreed to let the Sunday Mail photograph Murphy for an upcoming feature commemorating the centenary of the newspaper. However, it came as a surprise when the Loxton parents started receiving messages of acknowledgement from friends and family to say his photo was printed in Sunday’s Imagining 2062 lift-out. It was not a small photo hidden in the corner but instead the image of James’ arm holding his son covered almost a whole page. “I went to my work today and everyone was like ‘he’s a star, look at him’,” proud mother Trish said. “He’s always loved the limelight,” James laughed. “Even in hospital he would always perform well for the nurses and not for us. “He’d be screaming and not feeding properly and as soon as they came in the room he’d be feeding fine.” The couple plans to keep the photo so it can resurface later on in Murphy’s life. “We’re going to hopefully blow up the photo and keep it for his 21st,” James said. “It’s always really good to have anybody you know put in the paper but especially your son who doesn’t know about it yet but he will.” ■ BABY: Loxton’s Murphy Yandell, who was born on May 11 at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, in the hands of his dad James.

Ferry closure labelled “disgraceful� BY BRAD PERRY THE MID Murray Council believes a decision to close the Cadell ferry service from June 30 without any consultation makes a mockery of a recent agreement between state departments and agencies to work together with the Local Government Association. At council’s monthly meeting on Tuesday, it strongly objected the decision to close the ferry with Mid Murray Council Mayor Dave Burgess labelling the move as disgraceful to save $400,000 per year. He said the council had not received a letter regarding the proposal to close the ferry service and had not been consulted or asked for its views. “I have not been contacted at all regarding the closure of the ferry service and then we are told of a public meeting in one week to
close the ferry service,� he said. “The Local Government Association recently signed an agreement with the Premier Jay Weatherill so that councils and all state departments and agencies work together to achieve better outcomes for South Australian communities, with better collaboration and co-operation. “This decision to close the Cadell ferry service makes a mockery of this agreement. “Where is the respect when we don’t even get notified and the decision is already made?� Mr Burgess said the small town has already faces enough challenges. “Cadell suffered water cutbacks during the drought and was one of the most affected towns from the drought,� he said. “Then we wait for five years for planning approvals to assist devel-

opment and now we have the closure of the ferry service. “Where is there any respect, collaboration or co-operation? “We will continue to oppose this decision as much as we can.� Council will now write to the Murray and Mallee Local Government Association and the Local Government Association highlighting that it has lost confidence in the Premier’s agreement due to the proposed closure of the ferry. Cadell Community and Tourist Association chairman Danny McGurgan said he hopes opposition from large numbers of people attending a public meeting from 7.30pm at the Cadell Institute will show the State Government it needs to reverse its decision. “Our town relies on tourism and this is basically a kick in the guts for what we’ve done,� he said. “We’d like the decision
reversed.� Mr McGurgan said the whole community and surrounding towns will be impacted upon if the Cadell ferry closes. “The school is an issue because some of our people come from the other side of the river,� he said. “One lady alone has three children there, she has to do 80 kilometres extra a day. “People that work on the side of the river at the piggeries, they’ve got an extra 40 kilometres per day they have to travel. “We have four large grape growers in Cadell who have properties on the other side of the river and a lot of them cart their grape harvesters, trucks or pruning equipment across the Cadell ferry. “One grower has given us an estimate that it’s going to cost him $30,000 a year extra and not only that, all of that equipment has to
now go through the main street of Waikerie or the main street of Morgan.� Mr McGurgan said the closure of the ferry also means the Country Fire Services will face lengthy delays getting across the river.

Council wins bidding war for rail land IN a major win for the community, the Loxton Waikerie Council has purchased former rail land at Mill Corner after a bidding war with another buyer. Initially the council approached the State Government hoping the land would be transferred for community use without charge but the land was then put up for sale. After a public meeting and overwhelming support from the local community, the Loxton Waikerie Council decided to bid on the Bookpurnong Road land. “There was a couple of other nibbles for it, one fairly strong one apparently,� Loxton Waikerie Council Mayor Leon Stasinowsky said. “Knowing what the evaluation was, we took it to a special council meeting in confidence and we were given the okay to go
up to a certain figure. “We were actually told we were below the price with our first bid than what the other bidder was and we actually had to go higher, which we did. “It’s more money than what we initially anticipated we thought we’d spend on it but the public were very strong on their endeavours to have that land, so we felt it’s certainly in the long term best interest to retain that land for recreation purposes.� Mr Stasinowsky said he was unable to disclose what the other bidder intended to do with the land if it won or the final financial figure council purchased the property for. “The most important thing was purchasing the land and getting that because if we missed out then no matter what your plans are, you can’t do anything unless

$84,650 to go towards the Mallee based Billiatt Conservation Park. South Australian Senator Anne McEwen, who announced the funding recipients, said the grants are a positive step for local communities. “The funding demonstrates the thought and hard work that local organisations are putting in to the protection of the environment and our precious resources,� she said. “The projects throughout Barker will ensure we achieve

Board to discuss golf future THE Waikerie Hotel Motel Board has called a special general meeting of its members on June 24 to discuss the future of the Waikerie Golf Club. Waikerie Hotel Motel chairman Graeme Thompson will also attend Loxton Waikerie Council’s monthly meeting tomorrow to outline any financial support that is available. In a letter to the Loxton Waikerie Council, Mr Thompson said the golf club is lacking revenue and will run at an operating loss for the foreseeable future, with the 2011-12 losses expected to be up to $70,000. “After several years of attempting to staff and run the golf club, the hotel finds it lacks the revenue and support of the local community to
run the operation in a financially sustainable matter,” he wrote. “The costs of maintaining such a magnificent course for the use of such a small number of golfers has become financially non-viaable. “The board of the Waikerie Hotel is presently negotiating to rebuild the destroyed section of the hotel building. “The supporting bank has clearly stated to the board that all departments of the hotel, including the Waikerie Golf, must be managed in the future to meet industry standards of income and economic performance to secure their support.” Mr Thompson said there are a number of options for the hotel owned golf course including coun-
cil providing up to $40,000 of financial support per year, council purchasing the entire golf club operation or council paying a water disposal levy to the golf operation for the re-use. The golf club committee and several long standing members have been informed of the situation, according to Mr Thompson. “There have been three meetings with poor attendance...to attempt to discuss and resolve the issues,” he wrote. “The difficulties have increased with the resignation of the club president.” In a report prior to council’s meeting, Loxton Waikerie Council chief executive officer Peter Ackland said council does not have the cur-
rent financial capacity to assist. “In terms of council’s financial capacity to assist as has been requested by the hotel, our long term financial plan (in draft form) currently does not make provision for the purchase of an asset like the golf club,” he wrote. “(It) certainly doesn’t have capacity to sustain losses as reported by the hotel without some major adjustment to services currently provided by council or conversely an increase in rates to manage the reported and projected losses.” Mr Ackland said the options of leasing or selling the land need to be considered by the hotel and the Waikerie community. “I disclose that a prospective purchaser has made preliminary
Kerbside collection to increase recycling THE Riverland is on the verge of a new era of rubbish disposal with the introduction of kerbside recycling expected to be up and running across the Riverland by next year. Currently contractors are tendering for the job in each council area and local recycling depots are gearing up for what they believe will be a large increase in turnover. Waikerie Bottle and Can Depot owner Bob Sampson said where he has seen kerbside recycling in practice, it has been successful. “It’s not a matter of will we, it’s a matter of when,” he said. “I think the more we can make people aware the better it will be.” Since the State Government
increased the return on cans and bottles from five cents to 10 cents, Mr Sampson said he has seen steady growth in recycling. “Seasonally it’s probably the best I’ve every seen it,” he said. “We had as high as a tonne in a week in the summer.” With Waikerie Bottle and Can Depot able to recycle almost everything with the exception of window glass, pyrex and polystyrene, Mr Sampson expects a rise in non-deposit item recycling once the kerbside program is introduced. “All it requires is the participation of the householder,” he said. “With non-deposit stuff, more so since the rubbish dump became a transfer station, we’ve seen a lot of increase in that.”
contact with me and also with the management of the hotel,” he wrote in the council agenda. Mr Ackland told the Riverland Weekly that the issues will be discussed at tomorrow’s meeting. “The hotel has written to us and effectively said that the golf club, which it owns, is operating below profit line,” he said. “The council has an interest in the land in that we dispose of our current treated waste water there. “The hotel’s advised that they are having issues with the long term ability to operate the golf club, so we have invited them to come and speak to us about what their plans are for the future, so we can understand what the impact may be.”

Riverland team finishes in World’s Greatest Shave top 20 LOXTON’S WARREN Falting has praised the Riverland community for getting behind the World’s Greatest Shave, which helped his team raise almost $6000 and finish 16th in South Australia. Warren’s team ‘Bella Tigers’ was named in the top 20 highest fundraising South Australian teams by the Leukaemia Foundation in this year’s World’s Greatest Shave. The six man team included Warren, Leigh Kruger, Lin Auricht, Malcolm Fielke, Mario Centofanti and Patrick Harnois. “I got involved because I was diagnosed with Leukaemia nearly 11 years ago and I’m one of the fortunate ones at this stage that I have a slower progressing type which occurs in older people,” Warren said. “I just felt that whilst I could, I wanted to do something to help support the foundation.”
*
One of the most publicised events during the fundraising was the shaving of moustaches at Bella Lavendar. “One of the important things that we are very grateful for is the support that we got from people in the Riverland,” Warren said. Leukaemia Foundation SA general manager Simon Matthias said money raised will go towards cutting edge leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma research and free services to support people with blood cancer and their families “Warren’s team have done an outstanding job, raising a huge amount of money for such a great cause,” he said. ■ FUNDS: Loxton’s Warren Falting at his home this week after the announcement his team was in the state’s top 20 fundraisers in the World’s Greatest Shave.

Marathon challenge COBDOGLA’S Ian Clements will join three of his family members this weekend in a marathon effort to raise money for a good cause. Ian, along with brother Chris, sister Patricia and niece Melanie, will tomorrow begin a 100 kilometre, 48 hour journey in the D’Aguilar National Park in Brisbane. The mammoth effort is part of the Oxfam Trailwalker program, an initiative raising money for the less privileged. So far the four person team titled The Old & The Beautiful has raised more than $2000 towards their $3000 goal. Ian said he has been training since mid October and going to the local gym twice a week in a bid
to build his endurance and strength ahead of the event. “It really was about getting off the lounge, getting fit and doing something with the family to raise money for Oxfam,” he said. The hilly terrain is expected to create a unique challenge with Ian preparing for the worst, including extremely sore feet. “The bonding time with my family and getting each other through any hardships we might encounter is the best part of it,” Ian said. The following day after he completes the 100 kilometre effort, Ian celebrates his birthday. “There will be the pure relief that I’ve done it and I can have a rest now,” he laughed.

Renmark in the national television spotlight A RENMARK tourism accommodation provider will feature on national television this week. BIG4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park will feature on two separate programmes, with audiences expected to reach 600,000. BIG4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park owner Des Watts said the promotion is fantastic for the Riverland. “The exposure created by being on and part of these programs helps us promote what a fantastic place Renmark and the Riverland are to visit and that Renmark has one of Australia’s best holiday parks in a perfect location on the beautiful Murray River,” he said. “It is a great chance for viewers to see what visiting tourists experience at the park and some of the fantastic attractions and experiences you can have in Renmark and the Riverland.” The region will feature on the TEN Network’s What’s Up Down Under this Saturday at 4.30pm. A re-run of South Aussie with Cossie, also featuring BIG4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park and the Riverland, will air on Channel 9 at 5.30pm on June 17. The What’s Up Down Under feature will be repeated on ONE on June 24 at 2pm.

Riverland ex-servicemen divided over...
Medal changes
■ MEDALS: Renmark’s Tony Guster believes soldiers should be able to wear the awards they have earnt.
Apex club’s call for members By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Waikerie Apex Club remains confident it can expand despite low member numbers. With up to eight members currently involved with the club, it remains positive the numbers can rise to 12 or 15 members. An Australian Apex rule states that when a member turns 45 they can no longer be part of the club. Waikerie Apex Club secretary Darren Mason said that rule has been “annoying” as it has resulted in a
lot of good people leaving the club. Mr Mason said he understands that locals have other commitments but believes the region is full of people who would be of great help to Apex, ensuring it expands. “I can’t see why people shouldn’t join,” he said. “Around Australia, there are a lot of clubs that are struggling and are closing which isn’t encouraging but I think around our area, there are a lot of people who are willing to give a lot. “If anything, I’d say it’s a
great time for the club to expand, it’ll be a good time to join because we’re starting to do some really good stuff around the place.” Mr Mason encouraged anyone to get involved in Apex. “I personally moved into Waikerie seven years ago and didn’t know anybody so I found it fantastic just to go along to something where you can have a little bit of fun, also be doing something good and get connected with the community by meeting lots of different people,” he said.

RIVERLAND ex-servicemen are divided on a decision by the Australian Army to limit the number of badges Diggers are allowed to display on their uniforms. Under changes to military uniform guidelines, if two or more commendation badges from the same service and level are awarded, a maximum of four badges can be worn. Defence has also changed the rules of wearing the Rising Sun symbol, with it now only being allowed on the downturned brim of the Grade 2 Slouch Hat. Renmark veteran Tony Guster, who served in Viet-
nam, said he expects the changes will not impact the number of medals worn by ex-servicemen. “I would expect that I would be able to wear my medals as previously and I don’t think it will make any difference to the way I wear medals,” he said. However, Mr Guster said any medals received should be able to be displayed proudly. “When medals are awarded you have to go through a high process to get them and you should be able to wear them,” he said. Loxton’s Glen Saint, who served in the Korean War, said
“it sounds like they are bringing about change for the sake of change”. The number of medals given out to those serving their country today is not like it was during the time of Barmera’s Ron Boyce, who served 32 years in the army. “Back in the 1960s a soldier could do three or four tours of Malaysia and Borneo and get one medal and three or four campaign bars for that medal,” Mr Boyce said. “Now people go away and they come back with four or five and it’s starting to lose its impact, it’s starting to lose its credibility.”
Organisers praise festival ORGANISERS of the 2012 South Australian Country Music Festival have labelled the event as one of the most successful in recent years. Thousands of people flocked to venues across the Riverland for the 11 day event with visitors in attendance from across Australia. Riverland Country Music Club vice president Dot McDonnell said there was high quality talent throughout the event. “The overall week turned out to be one of the most successful festivals in the last four or five years,” she said. “We had a huge amount of people attending and plenty of entertainment in all the venues. “Just the quality of talent and getting our marketing out around Australia has attracted a lot of tourists “The major factor is it is
a country music festival and people know it will be and always has been.” While visitor numbers are still being tallied, Mrs McDonnell said performances at the Cobdogla Club,
The overall week turned out to be one of the most successful festivals.
Barmera-Monash Football Club and Lake Bonney Holiday Park were full. The festival finished off on a high note with many entries for the SA Country Music Awards Talent Quest. “The Sunday Spectacu-
lar, we had a full house and the football club had to put out extra chairs in all of their available space and there was no room to put another chair,” Mrs McDonnell said. “The people that come regularly, they noticed there was a tremendous increase in the amount of people that attended.” The future of the event is dependent on funding but Mrs McDonnell said if the Riverland community wants to continue to host it, the festival will remain. “Being not-for-profit it depends a lot for our committee on funding and we are working on that now and we hope the economy doesn’t get much worse so we can still stay in,” she said. “The people coming and the artists, that will be there for as long as the Riverland wants it.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Moving the VIC makes no sense I CAN’T believe that the council has again paid ‘experts’ to decide whether our Visitor Information Centre should be on the beautiful riverfront, where visitors are treated immediately to the experience of it’s wonderful views both up and down the river, or to the experience of being pushed dangerously off a main highway into an ugly carpark with views of houses. There are no businesses within walking distance and no sight of any, so not much income for the town or getting travellers to see our lovely riverfront. People may well come back to stay if they remember eating their lunch on that green lawn and looking at the river passing by. Maybe they will have bought their lunch at one of the shops, hotel or the club. Everyone who uses a VIC doesn’t intend on staying, they may be just passing through and need to know what is further down the road. Having got that information they take the quickest route through town and move on. Not much of a selling point for our town with a shopping plaza and a highway. It wouldn’t ring any bells for me if I were travelling.
I live near the VIC and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to see people pull up and get out in the sun eating their lunches, walking and stretching their legs in that space. Leave it alone please! Don’t let the Renmark Plaza and council kill the rest of Renmark. Let them know loudly if you want this idea stopped for good. We don’t need another riverfront cafe because the businesses that are already there are struggling now and council are possibly intending to funnel more passing trade away from them. It does’t make sense. You have a million dollar view on your riverfront and it doesn’t need to be clogged up with one way streets if no-one is using the street anymore. So that’s another lot of money you can save by killing the river end of Renmark, if saving money is your prime objective. Pat and John Howitt, Renmark.
Have your say about the issues that affect you. The disabled facility was approved by the Southern Mallee Distric Council and put in place for the convenience of disabled persons due to the fact there are no other similar facilities on the Mallee Highway. I feel that this was a progressive undertaking and to consider the option of depriving disabled people the access to the facility would indicate complete lack of concern for their needs as well as extending a very public insult to this group of people. In addition, after speaking with many of the caravan tourists who utilise the parking bay, 90 per cent of these people have their own shower and toilet in their caravans or motor homes. These same people always plan their trips within their budgets and all of them have related to me that free sites and parking bays are always a component of their travel itinerary. This fact strengthens the argument that the disabled facility does not affec the loss of income for commercial tourist ventures.
Complaint over toilet facilities in Parilla I WOULD like to comment on the complaint from a commercial tourist park proprietor regarding the closure of the disabled shower/toilet facility at Parilla.
Mary Jenkins, Parilla.
Dismay over PATS refund concerns TO say the least I was absolutely dismayed after reading Max Scholz’s
letter in the Riverland Weekly (June 7, 2012). He doesn’t seem to comprehend how much work the girls in the Berri Patient Assistance Transport Scheme (PATS) office have to do (this includes the Mallee and Riverland, as well as Kangaroo Island). We have dealt with PATS in Berri for several years and have had nothing but help and kindness from the staff. Never have we had to wait exceptional lengths of times for refunds. Yvonne Scutter, Renmark.
Quest to build memorial I WRITE to highlight the quest of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial Committee to build a memorial to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and women adjacent to the Torrens Parade Ground. This will be the first memorial of its kind in Australia. It may surprise many to know that there is no national memorial to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island servicemen and women anywhere in Australia. Yet, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have served in every con-
flict and peace keeping mission in which Australia has participated from the Boer War to the current conflict in Afghanistan. Many have done so even though they were not officially identified upon enlistment, nor regarded as Australian citizens until after 1967. As we look toward the Centenary of ANZAC in 2015, it is appropriate that this gaping hole in our rich military history is re-dressed and it is good news that South Australia is taking the lead in paying overdue tribute to this very special group of Australians. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial Committee is keen to raise at l east $550,000 to build the memorial, to a design developed by local artists Michelle Nikou, Tony Rosella and Lee-Ann Tjunyoa Buckskin. I encourage all members of the community to support this War Memorial Appeal and thereby demonstrate our respect for the service and sacrifice rendered by all Aboriginal and Torres Strait veterans. The committee can be contacted at Level 13, 200 Victoria Square Adelaide, SA, 5000, or on (08) 8226 1993. John Dawkins MLC, Adelaide.
GARDENING & PRUNING
New electronic pruner THE Campagnola Cobra has been designed and manufactured for utmost versatility in vineyard and stone fruit pruning applications. Campagnola has invested heavily in thorough research and development, to make a dependable pruning solution available for horticulturists the world over. You can rest assured that with the Cobra you are getting a fast, reliable, versatile, comfortable, easy to use and above all, safe pruning solution. Available with your choice of specialised and interchangable vineyard or stone fruit cutting head is the Cobra130V - vineyard model and the Cobra130Ffruit (orchard) model. Powered by a lightweight lithium iron phosphate battery (Li-FePO4) and fitted with a secure, adjustable backpack, the Cobra is designed to fit any body type comfortably. The Cobra features multiple cutting modes, which are easily selectable via the belt mounted control box: AUTO100 – The mobile cutting blade opens to its maximum cutting capacity; cutting branches up to 35mm with great speed. AUTO70 – Reduces the cutting capacity to 24.5mm or 70 per cent of the maximum blade opening. AUTO40 – The cutting blade closes even further granting a maximum cutting capacity of 14mm or 40 per cent of the maximum blade opening. This is the fastest cutting mode and is perfect for spur pruning. MANUAL – The progressive cutting mode synchronises the cutting blade movement with pressure exerted on the operating lever. This mode is recommended until the operator is accustomed to using the Cobra or for very precise cutting applications. SERVICE – This mode displays a cut counter and blade tension indicator for easy maintenance. The Campagnola focus on safety ensures all cutting modes allow the operator to cancel the mobile blade cutting action at any time by releasing the operating lever. The Cobra is also fitted with various
safety and fastening devices safeguarding the operator against accidental breakage or personal injury. Smooth rubber grips, an ergonomic operating trigger, balanced weight distribution and an angled cutting head make the Cobra feel as if it is an extension of the arm, twisting, turning and moving the wrist is less tiring and more comfortable as a result. The Cobra has a battery endurance of 15 hours, which is displayed as a percentage on the electronic control box.

Helping add colour to your garden By ANDREW WALLADGE A NATIVE garden is all sticks and no colour. This statement tells me immediately that there have been poor plant choices in the past, combined with no or very little pruning. This makes for plants that are continuing to grow up and out and dropping old leaves. Many new hybrids and selections of seedlings are often chosen for their more compact habit over their parents. A good example is Melaleuca armillaris. It has, in the past, been planted as a screen or windbreak and can quickly open up. That is, old leaves drop; branches die back and it takes on the appearance of a scraggy open tree with multiple stems growing up to eight metres. It can be pruned hard and regularly. Why bother when a perfect alternative is Melaleuca armillaris nana sometimes known as ‘Green Globe’ that normally grows to around 1.5 to two me-
tres with a very compact habit. Most older gardens will have the odd plant that has, over time, become open regardless of its country of origin. The remedy is to prune, prune and prune some more. Now is a good time to prune very hard plants that will tolerate it. Callistemon, Eucalyptus and Melaleuca will but Banksia, Grevillea and Hakea will not. There are exceptions and it’s worth asking if you are not sure. By a very hard prune I literally mean to ground level. The plant may take two or three years to completely recover but it will often make a quicker plant than starting from scratch. Now that you have decided to prune very hard, plan to follow up this with a lighter prune on the regrowth in late summer or very early autumn. Then, the following (late) spring, prune again and so on. The best option is to choose plants of the appropriate size and possibly even smaller compact forms and start pruning
the day you come home from the nursery. Yes, tip prune the day you plant and whenever you feel like it. By tip pruning I mean the last 25 millimetres or so off each stem. For very young plant, use your thumb nail and for plants a year or two old, use hedge shears. Wavy edged blades are the best so thicker stems won’t slide out. Another excellent pruning technique is cutting flowers from your garden and giving them away. This not only puts you in the ‘good books’ of the recipient but also gives the plant a prune at the same time. The wonderful result of all this pruning is vastly improved growth. That is denser growth with ten fold more flowers to enjoy. So, all sticks and no colour? Start pruning today and plant smaller, more compact forms of your old favourites.

BERRI BARMERA LAP & RIVERLAND WEST LANDCARE UPDATE
From your Project Managers… Welcome to our second instalment of the Berri Barmera LAP and Riverland West Landcare Update.
W
E ARE full of good news this month, with the announcement that between the two groups we have secured in the vicinity of $250,000 in funding for a range of projects over the next 12 months. These funds have been made available through the SA Murray Darling Basin NRM Board, a proportion of which has been devolved through the Australian Governments Caring for our Country Program. In addition to the day-to-day employment and operating costs involved in running the two organisations, and the range of associated outcomes this delivers, these projects include:
Pest animal and plant control update Fox control
Pest plants
FOX numbers are high again this year as with the good rains and high river there is plenty of food around. Where there are foxes, it has been observed that juveniles are already starting to disperse and these naive foxes should readily take baits at this time. In an effort to keep fox numbers low, the best times for baiting are autumn and spring. The effectiveness of baiting to control foxes is greatly improved by involving your neighbours as a broader area is targeted. To be involved in autumn baiting, please contact the Animal and Plant Control Division of the SA MDB NRM Board. Bait co-ordination and distribution is managed by Authorised Officers David Robertson on 0429 892 368 or Lauren Burdett on 0488 573 593.
THE SA MDB NRM Board Riverland operations team will be encouraging landholders to control African Boxthorn infestations on roadsides and properties this coming winter. African Boxthorns are considered a priority pest plant in the Riverland due to its ability to invade various landscapes such as the natural ecosystem, agricultural land and vacant properties. The plants also provide shelter for priority vertebrate pests such as foxes and rabbits and the berries can host fruit fly which is a major threat to the Riverland horticultural industry. Yellow burrweed infestations will also be targeted this winter in the Renmark Paringa area. Yellow burrweed has become a major crop weed in Australia and it is therefore important to keep this weed off clean proper-
ties or to recognise and destroy new infestations before they become established. Yellow burrweed is a highly competitive weed in cereal crops and can drastically reduce crop yield. Its seeds also contaminate grain and bristly fragments of the plant cause vegetable fault in wool. It may be poisonous to stock, containing similar alkaloids to salvation jane but no deaths have been recorded in Australia. Boneseed is a Weed of National Significance (WoNS) that threatens Australia’s biodiversity and natural ecosystems. Its ability to reduce the abundance and diversity of native species and adversely affect the structure and function of natural ecosystems makes it such a serious threat in the region. The Board is co-ordinating a control program that aims to
significantly reduce the spread and occurrence of infestations in your local area. Private and public lands identified with Boneseed infestations will be treated by chemical and mechanical methods in 2012 with follow up works in 2013. For 2014 and beyond, the Board will encourage landholders to undertake their own control measures.
• Establishing standard identification markers for all wetland monitoring points across all community managed wetlands in the Riverland • Planning and implementing a series of works at Martin Bend • Providing ChemCert training to volunteers • Developing and printing education and interpretive information for Loveday Wetlands and the Wilabalangaloo flora reserve
■ PESTS: Pest plants growing in the Riverland region including (from left) Boneseed, Yellow Burrweed, and Boxthorn. While (above) an Australian red fox.

Are you interested in the future management of Martin Bend?
• Undertaking a Black Box watering program at Markaranka As you will see in the accompanying articles, we have, as always, plenty of activities on the go. Please contact us if you have any questions or wish to get involved.
THE Berri Barmera LAP Committee is hosting a meeting on Tuesday, June 19 at 1pm at the Berri LAP Office to discuss future management options for the Martin Bend wetland, situated on the outskirts of Berri. Items for discussion include Berri Barmera Council’s plans for upgraded stormwater management and reuse, BBLAP plans to remove or upgrade wetland infrastructure and the Berri Lions Club future vision for the walking trail and recreational use of the area. There will also be a chance to have input into the proposed new hydrological regime in terms of when the wetland is

put though a wetting and drying cycle. The Berri Barmera LAP committee has received a grant of $30,000 to undertake some works at the site, as well as designing a series of boardwalks that will allow the wetland to be enjoyed when the existing walking trail is underwater. We invite all members of the community to come along and provide their input, though please let us know you are coming so we can change to a bigger venue if needed.

Working with the community to support the local environment ■ FUN: Loxton Scounts enjoying a sunny day of Tree Planting at the Armstrong Air Activities Centre.
Local Natives WELCOME to our new column featuring local native plants that you may or may not be aware of appearing around the landscape. In this edition our volunteer writer is Darren Schmitke, a native plant enthusiast from Waikerie. Darren’s knowledge of local flora has been an invaluable asset to Riverland West Landcare on several occasions and he has been more than happy to share this passion and knowledge with some of our local schools. Please let either Karen or Paul know if you find something interesting while you’re out and about and think it would fit in with the new Local Natives feature.
Scouts get involved in tree planting ON A beautiful sunny day in May, around 40 joeys, cubs and scouts from the Loxton Scout Group participated in a full day of tree planting at the Armstrong Air Activities Centre (AAAC), situated in scrubland just out of Blanchetown. Riverland West Landcare had already successfully created a windbreak along the northern boundary of the Scout base in 2008 and so the AAAC was keen to repeat the process along the southern boundary. This project was funded by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure in relation to works being undertaken along the Sturt Highway. In accordance with the Vegetation Removal Policy, DPTI are required to offset the clearance of vegetation and can offer community groups the opportunity to undertake revegetation projects.
d Both the Mid Murray Council and h Mid Murray LAP came on board with o the council, very generously offering to pre-drill holes for the kids. This in itself proved to be quitee d a challenge with the calcrete ground contributing to machinery break-downs resulting in fewer holes beingg n dug prior to the planting weekend than anticipated. d Not to be deterred, it was decided d to trial the use of old tyres to ‘build up’ rather than ‘dig down’ to plantt the tubestock. A big effort was put in by the scouts who had to cart soil and water, plant the tubestock and then put their skills to the test when they had to hammer stakes into the ground for the tree guards. However, having said this, scouts are known for having fun and taking on a challenge and this project certainly qualified.
Introducing Kathryn McKinnon KATHRYN McKinnon recently commenced employment with the Berri Barmera LAP Committee as a parttime Project Officer. She will be providing support to Paul Stribly, the committee and the broader community as Paul takes a couple days off each week to look after his young family. After completing high school in Loxton in 2005, Kathryn has undertaken a variety of study, training and work experience. In 2008, she undertook revegetation projects in the central goldfields region of Victoria and restoration of the historical Muckleford Railway Station with Green Corps. Her work with Green Streets, a company based in Castlemaine, Victoria, aimed to reduce packaging of products produced by numerous businesses. In 2011, she completed a Bachelor of Natural Resources Education at La Trobe University, Bendigo. During this time she was involved with volunteering at local community gardens, international student mentoring and leading teenage youth groups. Her hobbies include travelling, bush walking, swimming, camping,
dance and reading. She is enjoying being back home in the Riverland and watching the increased flow in the River Murray. As it stands currently, Paul will be working on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, whilst Kathryn will be available on Wednesdays and Fridays. Exact roles and responsibilities will be determined as we go but hopefully these arrangements do not create too much confusion for the community. Please make Kathryn welcome when you see her out and about.

Introduction to web design
Darling Lily (Crinum flaccidum) THE Darling Lily has the largest flower of any native plant in South Australia. Darling Lily is found over large parts of Australia from Queensland trough to Western Australia, usually growing on floodouts or floodplains. Leaves grow from bulbs that can be up to 10 centimeters across and a metre underground. Often the leaves are short and brown on the ends. Under favourable conditions some leaves can grow to 50cm long before dying during late summer. In the Riverland flowers are white and the plants can be seen on the floodplains, often on sandy soil. Flowers appear from late summer to early autumn. This stunning flower is beautiful to see in its natural setting, so take the time to take a wander through your local floodplain and you may be lucky enough to find a Darling Lily.
Will be run through River Murray Training and will take place in July (depending on numbers). It’s an eight hour course using Adobe Dreamweaver. Enquiries to Dearne at RMT on 8582 3658. Berri Barmera Local Action Planning Committee Revegetation Opportunities Free native plants available to landholders and community groups within the Berri Barmera area. The Berri Barmera Local Action Planning Committee is once again seeking expressions of interest from landholders and community groups interested in undertaking revegetation projects this year. To apply or for further information, please contact Kathryn McKinnon on 8582 2183 or 0498 360 354 before Friday 22nd June.

UILT in early 2000 and set within a quiet cul-de-sac in the Jane Eliza Estate is this very appealing waterfront home. The water views from the home are superb and all living areas, kitchen and main bedroom and outdoor areas have been designed to take advantage of this spectacular outlook. The home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and spacious open living areas.
The kitchen is very roomy and overlooks the dining area and the beautiful waterfront. A double garage under the main roof plus a lovely paved outdoor living area adds to the high appeal of the property. The home has the benefit of absolute water frontage with easy access to the River Murray and a floating jetty that allows you to moor your boat on your private property.

NEW play equipment is expected to be installed at Waikerie’s Robert Brandon Memorial Park in the coming weeks. After extensions for the park’s playground began, being undertaken by the Waikerie Apex Club earlier in the year, areas of the park have already been dug out in preparation for soft fall to be installed. Waikerie Apex Club secretary Darren Mason has been pleased with how proceedings have gone and expects children will embrace the new equipment. “Part of our philosophy is serving the community,� Mr Mason said. “We raise funds for various functions that we do and we felt the best way to give it back to the community is through the kids. “They’re going to be able to benefit from something that they didn’t have before, they’re going to have equipment that they haven’t seen before, some of it is quite

playground, with the Waikerie Rotary Club and the Loxton Waikerie Council amongst others playing a major part. “It’s unbelievable the amount of support we’ve had from the community,� Mr Mason added.
Variety Victoria visits the Riverland HAVING already raised about $40,000 for special needs and disadvantaged children, Variety Victoria took time out of its 2012 Variety 4WD Trek to visit the Riverland last month. Setting off from Warrnambool on April 26, Variety Victoria was in the region on May 4, visiting the historic Morgan town as well as con-
ducting an activity with Riverland Special School students. Variety Victoria events manager Janette Connolly said raising awareness and funds for disadvantaged and special needs children is important. “Variety supplies goods and services to children between birth and 18, that are special needs children, disadvantaged children,� Ms
Connolly said. “The theme this year is the wild, wild west...so we came to the (special) school to do a little bit of an activity and see the kids, let them see the cars.� The special school is the second of its kind that Variety Victoria had visited on the trek, with the previous one being in Warrnambool.

Proud cross-town rivalry A
RGUABLY one of the most fiercest rivalries in Riverland football, this weekend’s Proud Cup is expected to be another intense battle. Both teams have only won one match for the season to date and this encounter should be heated with plenty to play for. Of course the traditional cup is on the line with Loxton North hoping to even the ledger at three wins a piece. The Proud family has had a

major impact for both clubs on and off the field with a number of family members still playing today. Loxton North coach Craig Wooldridge said there is a lot riding on this match with the Panthers needing a win to stay in finals contention. “Since we played them last we haven’t won a game so we just need to get back to winning,” he said. “If we lost, it won’t be breaking point but there would be serious ramifications. “The next two games are pretty critical to us, we’ve got to win both of them.” Wooldridge said the Proud Cup means a lot to the players and those involved with the club. “I think it has just been a great idea and it just brings the local community together,” he said. “I know it does mean a lot more to the boys winning the Proud Cup. “A bit of bragging rights. “The Proud Cup probably does mean a little bit more but I think the same intensity is played each week.” Loxton coach Mick Zerna said any encounter with Loxton North is always a fierce one. “It’s a great game to honour the Proud families, obviously they’ve all played for both clubs,”
he said. “Every game against Loxton North is intense and it’s no different to Berri playing Barmera-Monash, it’s just a rivalry been built up over 20 or 30 years. “When you’ve got two teams so close to each other in the one town, it obviously adds a bit more spice to the game. “There’s just that bit of extra incentive to actually win it and take the Proud Cup home again.” The key for Loxton North is its midfield, while Loxton provides lots of run off half back. The Tigers are likely to include Mitch Fazekas into the line-up, while Sam Proud should also return. For the Panthers, Tim Roberts is likely to play his first game for the season after a troubling groin injury, while Tim Arnold and Ben Miller are also big inclusions.

The commentary team is able to broadcast a Riverland game each round, as well as providing score updates from other matches across the region and hosting high profile guests for special comments. “The good thing about it is for Riverland football and it just gives an opportunity which is something that doesn’t happen often,” Greg said. “It is very unique, no matter where you go there is not too many associations that have that opportunity to get a commentary team together. “We certainly try and do our best and speak a broad range of topics, which from all reports seems to be quite good.” The team is also hopeful of further interacting with local football fans by offering the community a chance to provide opinions on the match of the round via text message.

FOR Greg Graetz and Travis Dubrich, being able to broadcast local football to the people of the Riverland is a unique opportunity. The pair have formed a strong partnership behind the microphone as part of 100.7 Riverland Life FM’s match of the round coverage. This weekend the team heads to Loxton North to broadcast the Proud Cup and former Panther player and B grade coach Travis Dubrich is looking forward to the contest. “The team who loses on Saturday won’t play finals and I’m tipping Loxton to win,” he said. Being able to watch and commentate the local football has been enjoyable for both Travis and Greg. “I used to go to the footy and probably in the North days I watched just one team but now I watch both sides very
Unfortunately Dan Proud reinjured his calf and may spend a lengthy time on the sidelines. There are some interesting match-ups to be played out with onballer Jamie Ferguson to be tagged by Brock Birkin, while an intriguing contest will take place between Justin Proud and Raph Liddle and Ryan Proud and Leigh Kruger. Ryan Gray has been superb off half back and Nick Uren may be a suitable match-up. The Panthers will need to keep a close eye on Jamahl Liddle, who has been playing a different role across the ground. Zerna said his players must be accountable for the quick footed Loxton North. “We would certainly back ourselves to play a better game against North, even though they are quick, we just need to be more accountable with their onballers,” he said.

Two good sides going at it, we’re really looking forward to it - Berri coach Alby Brand.
Top of the table clash E
VERY time Berri and Barmera-Monash meet, the contest is just as intense as any cross-town rivalry. This round there is not only the Fisher Cup on the line but potentially also top position on the ladder. Currently Barmera-Monash remains unbeaten, while Berri has lost just one match in the first six rounds. The Demons have the home ground advantage and have also won the Fisher Cup seven times as opposed to the Roos' three victories. The Fisher family has been involved with both clubs and winning the cup would mean a lot for both Berri and Barmera-Monash. There is an emotional connection for Barmera-Monash coach Lyndon Burns as he has grown up around the Fisher family. "To me I’m very, very good mates with Terry Fisher," he said. "I had Sam Fisher in my wedding as a page boy. "I really want to win this because I’ve got a strong connection with the Fisher family." In fact, Terry Fisher took the Roos' players for training this week ahead of the clash played for the cup in his family's name. Berri coach Alby Brand said the Fisher Cup is a big occasion for both himself and the playing group. "Terry Fisher was my first
senior coach in 1980 and I played with four of the Fisher boys during my career at Berri," Brand said. "For the group it means quite a lot. “This is something that has taken off really, really well with both clubs, not just Berri. "It’s just one thing that is a highlight of the year." Barmera-Monash is likely to welcome back tall forward Robert Price from injury and the club is hopeful of securing the services of West Adelaide's Chris Bonney. Reece Hogan is a major out after it has been confirmed he will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Darren Marner may also be included in Berri’s team. There is some exciting matchups across the ground with inform David Hankin likely to face a tough challenge against Jack Selfe. In the middle of the ground, Jake Smith and Adam Beauchamp will battle it out, while Ryan Burns and Lachlan Jennings is also a pivotal tussle. The Roos have been well served by Murray Middleton up forward and strong Peter Safralidis could perform the job on him. Burns said last time the two teams met this season it was a high scoring affair and he expects nothing less this time around.
■UNDER PRESSURE: Barmera-Monash’s Marc Elliott will play in his first Fisher Cup on the weekend. "It was a high scoring game and it was pretty good, clean, fast football,� he said. “That’s how Alby is coaching his lads and that’s how I’m coaching our boys to run and carry and move the ball very quickly.� It is all about improvement for Berri since the last time

GILL LEHMANN CUP
ISION TELEV

Battle of the stripes R
ENMARK will be searching for its first ever Gill Lehmann Cup win this weekend but is facing an uphill battle against in-form Waikerie. While the two teams are at opposite ends of the Riverland, the distance between each town has not stopped a strong rivalry forming over the years. The cup acknowledges the work of the Gill family for Renmark and the Lehmann family for Waikerie. Since the cup’s inception in 2008, Waikerie has won every encounter with the Rovers’ closest loss being 30 points in 2009. Currently the Magpies are building as a premiership threat, while the Rovers have just one win under their belt. Waikerie co-coach Craig Griffiths said he remains wary of a Renmark outfit with plenty of talent. “It’s always a good challenge up there (in Renmark),� he said. “We always like to have something up on Renmark, that’s for sure “For us it’s important that whenever we go to Renmark we know they are always up and about and they play good footy at their oval, so wer’re hoping we are able to take away the points.� Griffiths said last year’s A grade coach Troy Lehmann has a lot of passion for the club and he said the cup is fittingly named. “With Troy still being involved it makes it that little bit more special,� he said. “A lot of the guys coming through appreciate, especially what Troy’s done but not just Troy, it goes through to his dad and his grandfather and we explain that to the guys. “I think it’s more about the tradition that is gradually building and that recognition of what the families have done within the club.� Renmark coach Brett Blackwell said he needs his team to lift and there is no better time than when playing for the
■TACKLE: Renmark will need to stop Waikerie’s Ben Venning up forward if it is to have any chance of defeating the Magpies this round. Gill Lehmann Cup. “Playing with Aaron Gill and knowing Trevor, it’s very important to us as a club,� he said. “There’s nothing worse than doing a presentation at our home ground and having to hand it (the cup) over to them.� The Waikerie camp is expected to remain unchanged for this match, while Renmark will be bolstered by West Adelaide player Drew Gallard for the next two rounds. Russell Menz also missed last round and should be included this week, while the club received the news that Matt Martinson has suffered an injury that may keep him out for the rest of the season. Interestingly, Renmark has changed the role of former Collingwood player Steven Pitt and he is spending more time in the midfield
instead of up forward. “He did it last week against BarmeraMonash, he played 60 per cent of the game through the midfield,� Blackwell said. “Getting the back six stable and playing good footy is what we wanted and that’s what’s happeed in the past few weeks.� Griffiths said he will need to watch Renmark’s tall forward line with Glen Schreiber likely to take Craig Seekamp, who has been playing deep in attack. Steven Braun and Aaron Nettelbeck are also two strong defensive options for the Magpies. Craig Miller has been good in the ruck and it should be a tight contest between Michael Bratton and Matt Camplin in the middle. Jaryd Rowe and Damian Stevens may run side by side, while Tim Bevan could match-up on Adam Bryant. “We’re coming off a bye and we start again and we certainly look to chuck everything at Renmark,� Griffiths said.
Gill Lehmann Cup Last time they met for the cup: 2011: Waikerie 18.12 (120) d Renmark 11.9 (75). Best Players - Waikerie: T. Bevan, A. Bachmann, M. Bratton, J. Haines, J. Dellazoppa, J. Thomson.

RIVERLAND INDEPENDENTS - ROUND NINE MATCH OF THE ROUND
BSR v Paringa IN a highly anticipated encounter, the competition’s two unbeaten teams vye off for outright top position. Currently Blanchetown/Swan Reach is sitting above Paringa on average but both teams are pretty even across the ground. The good news for the Swans is that they are likely to welcome back some key players including Mick Miller, Adam Forbes and Nathan Rover, who is returning from injury. Sam Frahn is also a big inclusion after transferring from Renmark to Paringa. The Redbacks could also name a few important ins with Michael Zadow, Christopher Giles and Josh
THE OTHER GAMES
Waechter likely to take their place in the line-up. Craig Lindner willi require a fitness test to play after injuring his shin last round. There are a number of crucial match-ups in this game with defender Kyle Coleman to take forward Dean Hill, Michael Zadow potentially to cut the space of in-form Paringa forward Ryan White and Joel Watson likely to stand tall BSR forward Jed Martinson. However, it is the midfield where this match will be won. It could potentially be Dale Payne, David Waechter and Troy Cowland versus Andrew Lloyd, Chris Gardner and Tristan Jackson. Cowland’s leg speed and raking left foot have seen him feature amongst the best players in
the competition. BSR coach Peter Zadow said if his team’s quick footed forward line can fire, the Redbacks can be victorious. “I think we’ve just got to play our structures that we put in place and see if we can get on top,” he said. Time will tell as to whether a physical encounter against Ramco will leave its mark on the Swans. “It was a hard game and there were a few sore bodies,” Paringa coach Arrod Westley said. “We’ll go in quite confident. “We will just play our game and hopefully it comes off for us.” This encounter will showcase some of the best young football talent in the competition. However, Paringa has been such a force for several seasons and should win by three goals.
THE OTHER GAMES
Ramco v Cobdogla A YOUNG Cobdogla team has been very impressive in the first half of the season but faces one of its biggest tests against Ramco. The Eagles had the bye last round, while Ramco battled hard in its loss to Paringa. Anthony Compton, Adam Barnett and Smithfield recruit Shaun Matthews are all a chance to come into the Cobdogla team. Darrell Tilbrook is a 50/50 chance to play, while former Moorook-
Kingston player Ryan Pietrolaj has been training with the Eagles. For Ramco, Jeremy Jaeger and Mark McDonald are important inclusions, while the transfer list shows Scott Marr transferring from Lyrup to Ramco. There could be some exciting match-ups with roaming forward Max Baddack to be watched by Grant Dyer, ruckman Jamie O’Callaghan against Craig Aitken and the left footed Zac Walker going head to head with Brad Gay or Brodie Fridd. Cobdogla coach Brad Gillespie said his team has been good despite a lack of numbers at training. He said a few inclusions this week
will “hopefully make a few blokes accountable for their spots”. Gillespie hopes speed will be a factor this round. “I thik we have just got to try and use our youngsters with their speed,” he said. “If we waste the ball we are going to pay.” Ramco coach Andrew Bevan said his team needs to keep running. “Hopefully we can play our style of football and play four quarters and we’ll win, he said. This should be a close affair with Ramco getting up by five goals.
Wunkar v Brown’s Well
Lyrup v East E Murray
WUNKAR has belief and cannot be written off for a top four finish. Facing a determined Brown’s Well, who matched it with BSR for most of last round’s match, the Bulldogs have no easy task on their hands. The resurgence has been led by Jordan Hentschke, Ian Worsfold, Harley Bennell and Daniel Evans. Jason Goodes has also hit top form, along with ruckman Jamie Crisp. The transfer lists shows Brett Lines returning from the SAAFL, which is a big boost to the team. For the Bombers, Pat Flavel, Kane Thiele and Guy Rogers will return to the side, while Joe Oxborrow is out. Geordie Franks looms as a key player, while youngsters Hamish Sanford and Troy Braun have hit the football hard. Brown’s Well coach Lance Degenhardt said the game against Wunkar is crucial for the winless Bombers. “It’s a game we’re not going to take too lightly,” he said. “I’m going to maintain and want the same standards as last week against the top team.” This should be a very close encounter with Wunkar continuing its winning form with a three goal victory.
ACCORDING to Lyrup coach Shane Healy, the Lions can win the next three matches and set themselves up for a finals spot. In fact, a percentage boosting win against the Tigers will see Lyrup leap into fourth position. East Murray desperately needs a victory and will need to continually hit Jason Berger lace out this round to be any hope. Lyrup expects to welcome back ruckman Troy Harrison and Adrian Abdulla Jnr, while James Abdulla, who booted nine goals last round, is in doubt with a shoulder injury. Big man Chris Rudiger has been superb and may be needed at centre half back for the Tigers this round. It should be a good contest between Kenneth Dixon and Simon Sumner. Lyrup coach Shane Healy said things are looking up. “On the weekend we pretty much strung four quarters together and dished the ball out,” he said. “It’s a must win game if we want to stay in touch.” East Murray to win by two goals.
MALLEE FOOTBALL LEAGUE MATCH OF THE ROUND
Murrayville v Karoonda MURRAYVILLE needs a win to keep its finals hopes alive. On the other hand, Karoonda is chasing top position on the ladder and requires a win to keep in touch with BDT. The Bulldogs defeated Peake by 36 points in the last round with Trent Sporn and Daniel Fry both booting five goals each. It could be an interesting battle of the playing coaches with Michael Worsman and Ben Quinn featuring in the middle of the ground.
The Magpies rely on their midfielders to score with Nicholas Norman, Corey Knight and Zakk Bullard all contributors in recent matches. Josh Rudiger has been good in ruck for Karoonda, while Daniel Thiele has the ability to take strong marks. The Magpie defence will be tested by Fry and Sporn with Andrew Smithson and Jarred Graetz likely to match-up on the pair. Karoonda has made a relatively strong start to the season and should overcome the improving Murrayville by four goals.
THE OTHER GAMES
Pinnaroo v Peake THE bottom two teams clash in this match which is likely to only go one way. Pinnaroo is currently without a win seven rounds into the season but the return of key players Ryan Nickolls, Alex Keogh and Anthony Lippis will help. One promising sign is Chris Hughes, who appears to be hitting some form. Brad Schroeder has been a good contributor through the middle of the ground. Scott Feltus, Garth Bigg and Jeffrey Lines form a potent forward line for Peake, while Jason Dikkenberg keeps trying in ruck. Peake needs a win to keep in touch with the top four and should defeat Pinnaroo by plenty.
BDT v Lameroo WHEN it comes to defence, Border Downs Tintinara has been impenetrable so far this season having just 308 points scored against it. This round the Crows face third placed Lameroo, who has been impressive this season. It’s no wonder BDT has been so good with Josh Keller and Josh Richardson leading the way. Patrick Barrett’s recent return to the team adds more depth to the midfield. Ty McKenna and Kevin
Kock will not play this round but Hayden Schilling is capable of taking the ruck work. For Lameroo, Matt Ridgway has been getting plenty of the football, along with Andrew Purchase. Unfortunately the Hawks will be without Vaughan Noonan, which will be a big loss. Billy McNeilly is also struggling to overcome an ankle injury. Hayden Thorpe, Brad Zerk, Stephen Kerley, Shaun Walker, Craig Wellburn and Josh Ridgway all put in 100 per cent every week but even their best will not stop BDT.

The T Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...
Senior netball team fails to register a win THE RIVERLAND’S three junior teams reached the finals of their competitions in last weekend’s annual Country Netball Championships in Adelaide but the senior A grade side failed to score a win in its nine game program. “The senior team was competitive in a tough competition,“ one official said. “But the inexperience of many of the group at that level and unfortunate injuries to Reeni Leuders and Lauren Oswald saw them struggle.” In the 17 and under grade, Riverland won nine of its 10 matches during the pool stages to be in third position going into the finals where it lost to Western Border to finish seventh overall. The 15 and under side won five out of nine pool matches then went down by only one goal to Mid Hills in a final to finish in fifth position. It was much the same in the 13 and unders where Riverland lost a final to Port Augusta to finish seventh after winning six out of eight lead up games. “These were really good performances as each of those age
groups had over twenty teams competing,” the official said. The A grade title for 2012 went to River Murray when it defeated Western Border by one goal in extra time in the final, while Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara won both the 17 and 15 and under competitions and Western Border, undefeated, took out the 13 and under grade. Meanwhile at home, the Independent Association held a round of matches last weekend with East Murray (Katelyn Boughen, Tina Stasinowsky best) defeating Wunkar (Chloe Parker, Jo Hansen) 3820, Blanchetown Swan Reach (Kellie Zadow, Jo Schmidt) winning a close contest 42-39 against Brown’s Well (Gabriella Oxborrow, Stacey Braun) and Ramco (Jacqui Wood, Mel Briscoe) too good for Paringa (Lauren Murphy) 56-26. In B grade, East Murray defeated Wunkar 55-24, BSR won another keen contest against Brown’s Well 46-43 and Paringa accounted for Ramco 45-38. Riverland A grade matches this Friday night will see Berri clash with Barmera and Loxton North up against Loxton.

(125 Heavies), Daryl Webb (Outlaws), Joel Dixon and former Waikerie driver Darren Fridd (KT Heavies), Adam Allchin (J Open, 125 Lights), Lee Martin (KT Medium, KT Twins), Bradley Hembling (KT Medium), Zac Hammerstein (KT Lights), Ryley Hammerstein (Juniors), Julie Falland (Statesman) and Trevor Faehrmann (KT/200 Open). Looking to the future of the sport it was pleasing to see 16 rookies competing.
Local team puts in impressive effort at Masters Softball Carnival
Competitive Cobby TAKING to the Glassey Park fields last Saturday morning meant it was a chilly start for teams involved in the annual Riverland Masters Softball Carnival. In contrast there was a really hot start to the competition with all four games in the opening round decided by only one run, including reigning champion Cobdogla defeating Hills 11-10. One of three Central Districts teams, Road Runners, also won 4-3 against Port Pirie and as the competition unfolded these two teams were to dominate proceedings. In fact, that opening result was to prove decisive in the end as Road Runners finished undefeated in the seven game program on 21 points followed by Port Pirie 19, Cobdogla 15, Hills 14, Central Districts 13, Yorkers 11, Gawler 10 and Central Masters 9. On Saturday, Cobdogla’s other matches saw it go down to Port Pirie 17-3 and defeat Yorkers 9-2. After a highly successful dinner that night, teams lined up in warmer conditions (six degrees) on Sunday. In the 8am game, Cobdogla won 9-8 over Central Masters, went down to Road Runners 11-3 and Central Districts 17-2 and defeated Gawler 16-6. The game against Central Masters was a nailbiter. Cobdogla needed to effect one more dismissal to win 9-8 and the out came with only a few minutes remaining. If the contest had ended because of time, without the dis-

missal, the score at the end of the previous full innings would have applied, Cobdogla 3-4 down. The later clash with Central Districts also provided a highlight for the Riverland team. Cobdogla team member Mary Geddie explained that “Jo Gregory hit a home run over the fence that was the biggest of the weekend and certainly the biggest I have ever seen in Riverland softball”. “By Sunday there were certainly some sore bodies and Renmark’s Kris Weir with her massage service was probably the busiest person around. “However, considering our players are 35 years old and over, the injury position for the weekend was good with only a Yorkers player hurting an ankle and hamstring when she slid into a base.”

Retirement rate high as cars battle it out at speedway UNFINISHED business from the previous meeting, the AMCA Spectacular started last Sunday’s program at the Waikerie Sunline Speedway with the 12 drivers that contested the heats, returning for the main event as well as Dave Hartman being given a start from the rear. The large field led to hectic battles for positions and a number of collisions, so that the retirement rate was high. Tyre damage caused most casualties but in the end it was Darren McCarthy who survived for the win followed by Jason Robinson and the hard charging Hartman. The biggest line-up of cars, 10, for some years turned out for the feature event on the program, the annual Wally Francombe Memorial race for Super Sedans. Heat wins and a front row start in the feature went to Mick Brougham and Wayne Vickers but pole sitter Brougham drifted high, coming to the green and put Vickers into the wall. This left Kym Cottrell, Shane Roffey and Steve Letts with nowhere to go and according to track reporter Shaun Doecke, “big contact was made”. “However, it was only Cottrell that was unable to restart while Brougham was sent to the rear,” he said. Vickers got a great start when the race finally got underway and put a gap in the field ahead of Roffey, Letts
and Steve Schwarz to go on to be first to the line. Roffey’s race did not improve when he spun out on the final lap with a damaged tyre allowing Schwarz and Letts to slip into second and third placings with Brougham recovering to finish fourth. Another of the main events saw 10 cars competing for the Modified Sedans track championships and with two heat wins Terry Brown appeared to have the title in his keeping. But that was not to be the case as Wade McCarthy pushed Brown hard early before getting past him to take the win with a new 15 lap track record. Jeremy McClure grabbed third after another battle with Tony Schmidt. Also on the program at this final Sunline meeting for the season, AMCAs made a second appearance with Darren McCarthy claiming the win from Ryan Alexander and Frank Thierry after race leader Dave Hartman was forced to retire with a flat tyre. Christopher Jones rolling over several times with one lap to go in a 10 car Wingless Sprints feature saw the race declared with the podium positions going to Joel Chadwick, Andy Thomas and Mikayla Hein. Then in amongst a scrappy Street Stocks event, Rhys Heinrich gained pole position and that was as
close as his 13 rivals got to him as he finished well clear of Adrian Wright and Shane Hammerstein and set a new 12 lap record in the process. A small field of Formula 500s still provided some exciting racing and it proved to be a golden meeting for Angela Karousis who won both heats and the feature and made another record tumble, this time for 10 laps. Shane Brown and Michael Wise filled the minor placings. As usual, Junior Sedans put on a show with perhaps some of the 17 drivers appearing in the division for the last time as they will be out of the age limit next season. Andy Maxwell won two heats with the others being claimed by Harley Ray Moore and Callum Mackie amongst some thrills and spills as Ashlee McEwin and Lachlan Slingo were involved in roll overs. They were unhurt however, and back in their cars later for the feature where Maxwell started well from the front row in the 12 lap event but was relegated to the rear of the field for a restart after he came unstuck with a spin. Mackie took over and was untroubled to win ahead of Moore, and Jaiden Ruhs. Over 80 cars took part in a fitting conclusion to a highly successful season at Sunline.

The position the Cobdogla team finished at the Riverland Masters Softball Carnival.
Gallard wins Finke ■ From Page 32 SECOND home in the race was the Alpha Chev Pro Buggy driven by Victorian Matthew Coleman with his South Australian navigator Shawn Teagle. The pair finished in a time of three hours, 59 minutes 34 seconds and third was Western Australia pair Beau Robinson and Ken Skinner in another Geiser Bros Trophy Truck. The Robinson/Skinner effort is worth a mention. On the way to Finke, the truck endured an end or end roll over and then on the return journey a puncture. Robinson finished the race extremely sore, while Skinner was not fit enough for the trip back to Alice Springs after the roll over and was replaced by Stephen Hall. Another vehicle of Riverland interest was the performance of Bernard Gwynne (NT) and Robert Gwynne (SA), who joined Gallard in an Extreme 2WD field that was much bigger than recent years. The Gwynne brothers finished 35th amongst 84 cars in the Prologue, 28th on the trip to Finke and 12th on the way back to Alice Springs for an overall 19th position and seventh behind Gallard in the Extreme 2WD Class. Only 35 vehicles finished the torturous 452 kilometre journey. Meanwhile, amongst over 500 bikes involved in the event Loxton pair Aaron Obst and Hayden Wall and Renmark’s Rohan Irlam took part with Obst finishing in 3 2nd position. The bike section was won by Toby Price from Singleton, NSW, in a dom-

The Finke race, stripped of its Australian Off Road Championship event status this year, was not the only prestigious race that had members of the Waikerie-Riverland club competing with a number in Sea Lake for the Mallee Rally, reinstated as round one of the National titles for 2012. In preliminary stages of the weekend, Riverlanders Toby Francombe, with Matt Ridley and Mick Surfield as crew, finished second in the Prologue, Aaron Haby came third, Carl Haby and Brenton Gallasch were seventh, Scott Schiller and Cameron McClelland finished 14th and Lindsay Foster and James Lochert were 16th. Amongst 111 starters, 108 finished, with John and David Schultz coming 32nd in their Extreme 2WD before being runners-up in a Dash for Cash. Aaron Haby was a clear winner of the Pro Buggy Dash for Cash with
Francombe and Ridley next. However, that early form counted for nothing in some cases when the main event was run the next day. In the end it was the consistent hard driving of Foster in his Jimco that put him into outright third place behind Sydney’s Brad Sprout followed by Matt Hanson and Leigh Wells and gave him top spot in the Pro Lite class. Hanson was first to the line but Sprout won by 17 seconds on corrected time after he was compensated for time lost in stopping to assist Mannum’s Aaron Haby with an engine fire. Haby and his brother Carl were in fact two of the vehicles amongst approximately half of the original field of 111 that did not complete the journey. Another Waikerie Riverland member on the casualty list was unfortunately Toby Francombe who had worked desperately to repair his vehicle ready for the race after a previous roll over. But of those that did get to the finish, John Schultz ended up outright 16th and second in Extreme 2WD class and, in his Pro Buggy, Scott Schiller came 37th. It was interesting that with a team from China at Finke for the first time and a New Zealand entry at Sea Lake, there was international flavor to the weekend’s events. Now Interest will centre on the Waikerie Enduro on June 30 and July 1, with reports that apart from Tasmania, all of the states are already represented in the entries. And of course there will be the likely appearance of our new King Of The Desert in Gallard.
Hooked on hockey HOCKEY Australia’s national recruitment program, Hookin2Hockey, now has over 60 participants registered in the Riverland and it has also been introduced into schools for 2012. Promoted as a fun and exciting way for children aged from five to 12 to get involved in playing hockey in a relaxed and safe environment, the local program has Loxton’s former Australian Country representative Billie Jo Hammerstein as its co-ordinator. This Hockey Australia initiative has certainly been impressive in both its promotion and the way it is operated, even incorporating a link between grassroots hockey to the high profile Kookaburra and Hockeyroo players. Upon registration, participants have the option of purchasing kits which include a replica of an Australian playing singlet, a stick, fold up goal, ball and shinguards. Basic training sessions for participants are held by clubs in Waikerie, Berri, Renmark and Loxton at specified times and locations and involve instruction on the fundamental skills and rules of the sport while participating in a number of fun games and activities. Special arrangements on Saturdays are not part of the Hookin2Hockey official program, so are not compulsory but they have been introduced by the Riverland Association to encourage a social and friendly atmosphere into its hockey and

to help the young participants with a transition into becoming an active club member and to playing competitive sport. The youngsters are invited to play a modified game of hockey known as Rookey against other participants with the sessions starting at 11am and running for 25 minutes at an interval during the general round of RHA matches being held that day. The introduction of Hookin2Hockey into local schools followed a visit by Hockey SA in March and is seen as a further opportunity to introduce students, as well as staff, to the sport. Amongst the options available, the most popular at local schools has been the scheduling of 45 to 60 minute sessions into regular class times so that there is no interruption to a day’s lesson structure. The sessions are conducted by qualified coaches and again, they contain fun games and challenges to help students develop hand and eye coordination, ball handling, ball movement and control skills, as well as learning the importance of team play and the rules of the sport. Billie Jo said “the program has been supported well so far by interested schools but I encourage all schools to take up the opportunity of offering the sessions to their students and school”.

Riverland’s own king of the desert By GRAHAM CHARLTON
BEHIND THE MIKE
IN his seventh attempt, Renmark’s Brad Gallard has taken out Australia’s greatest off road event of its type, the Finke Desert Race. Gallard previously finished second in the Northern Territory classic in 2010 but on this occasion, accompanied by his regular navigator Scott Modistach, he won last Sunday’s 226 kilometre outward leg from Alice Springs to Finke and then repeated the performance on the return journey on Monday. Times for Geiser Brothers USA Extreme 2WD Trophy Truck number 454 were one hour, 56 minutes and 39 seconds on Sunday and one hour, 54 minutes and 53 seconds on Monday for a total time of three hours, 51 minutes 33 seconds overall. Gallard had qualified

to start the main race from sixth spot after he finished in that position behind another SA car, the Jimco Nissan Pro Buggy driven by Jack Rhodes and Craig Mattingly, in Saturday’s Prologue and had to contend with an enormous amount of dust on the way to Finke. Rhodes was one of several of the leaders that did not go far beyond the Prologue as the next day on the way to Finke, he firstly rolled and after getting upright again, collided with a tree to end his campaign. Gallard described Sunday’s run as his “toughest day ever” but went on to say that starting in the lead and heading back to Alice Springs on Monday “was a dream given that it is amazing what you can do when you can see”. ■ Continued Page 31
