Minister admits lack of consultation By BRAD PERRY TRANSPORT Minister Pat Conlon has conceded that the State Government did not undertake enough consultation with affected communities before deciding to close the Cadell ferry on June 30. During an estimates hearing yesterday, Minister Conlon said he would have liked more consultation on the closure.
“Can I say that I have discussed with my people that I do not think we did enough consultation with the locals,” he said. “I do not think we did as much as I would have liked but what I can say is that the people in our department certainly had to convince me, and I explained it to cabinet, of the underlying logic and reason for it. ■ Continued Page 2
Renmark Paringa rates rise by 7.5 per cent By BRAD PERRY THE Renmark Paringa Council is proposing residents take on a 7.5 per cent rate increase in the 2012/13 financial year. The rise will see residential ratepayers add another $54 to general rates bringing the average annual residential rates to $743. Renmark Paringa Council Mayor Neil Martinson said the rise is in line with
council’s long term financial sustainability goals. “What we are endeavouring to do is over the 10 years of our annual financial plan just to get back into the black,” he said. “At the moment we are in the red, so over a period of time we want to try and get that back into a balanced figure. ■ Continued Page 2

When questioned over Cadell ferry closure, Transport Minister Pat Conlon admits... EDITORIAL BY
BRAD PERRY
Poor response Pat STATE Transport Minister Pat Conlon should be ashamed for the way he handled a bombardment of questions from the Opposition over the Cadell ferry closure yesterday. He made statements contradictory to those stated in the media by his department. It was strikingly clear that the Minister is not happy with the way the Riverland public were consulted over the ferry closure. However, he is refusing to back down on his decision, despite being unable to provide solid answers to questions with evidence. This is a snippet of what Minister Conlon told the Estimates Committee yesterday. “Taking away a service is not something that is done lightly. It is not pleasant. It is certainly not pleasant for those people whom it affects and for that reason you do look at the information very carefully and the information provided to me was persuasive to the point of being compelling. While I think consultation might have been better, the material difference it made is probably not large.� Does the Minister realise he is playing with people’s livelihoods and their futures?
Lack of consultation ■From Page 1 “They convinced me that the counts they took and the times they took them were compelling evidence. “At the end of the day, can we make it clear, that we are talking about taxpayers’ funds here. “That is the only sort of money we use and they convinced me that it should be used elsewhere.� Minister Conlon said his department advised the relevant government agencies about the closure. “They advised me that they consulted with the government agencies, the education department and the CFS,� he said. “What I have said to your counterpart, whom I have met on this issue, the member for Stuart, is that really on this there was some information that we had got wrong.

“I could not see how the decision would be reversed. “Nothing in longer consultation, in my view, would have changed that basic information but I would have preferred that our people had consulted earlier locally. “At the end of the day, I do not think it would have made a material difference to the outcome of the decision because... the decision is made on a set of information that is persuasive and unless there is something wrong with that information I could not see why the decision would change.� The usage counts of the Cadell ferry were not done during quiet times, according to Minister Conlon. “One of the key points raised at the meeting was that the department had done the counts at the quiet time of the year and that is not correct,� he said.

“The department showed me that it had done counts, including months such as January and December. “If the information needs to be changed because of something we did not know, that would be the way we would change the decision. “But if the information I have received is correct, I cannot see the decision changing.� Minister Conlon also denied that the $400,000 annual cost to run the ferry at Cadell is being reduced due to State Budget cuts. “It is not a question of taking a small budget cut to give back to the Treasurer, it is about increasing the sustainability and the future viability of all of those ferry services that operate on the river,� he said. “The truth is that this money has not been cut from the budget: it has been directed to getting a better outcome for a larger
Inevitable rate rise for Renmark Paringa residents ■From Page 1 “The longer council delays trying to get the figure into the black it just prolongs the agony of doing it at a later date, so council has made a conscious decision knowing full well of the circumstances.� Mr Martinson said council’s general rates are still well below the state rural average estimated at $1009 annually for 2012/13. “Renmark Paringa rates have been so low for such a long period of time and that doesn’t help us to sustain our asset base,� he said. “Nobody likes the rates increasing but while other costs are going up and people are still requiring the same sort of level
of service that is being provided, the only way to do that is to obviously increase the rate base.� In 2012/13, council is budgeting for an operating deficit of $825,186. Council will also implement a new waste management system as part of its annual business plan, which includes closing the current landfill by December 15 and building and opening a waste transfer station. This will also include the introduction of a recyclables and greenwaste kerbside collection system. Residents living within the major council towns will receive a 140 litre general waste bin to be collected weekly, a

number of people.� When asked why he kept the decision a secret, Minister Conlon said “it was not kept a secret, it was consulted...there was a public meeting on it�. Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone, who was one of several members directing questions to Minister Conlon during the hearing, said the comments were disappointing. “Adding insult to the injury suffered by the Cadell community and the Riverland region is the fact that this decision was taken without consultation by a Government that trumpets its ‘open and transparent’ credentials,� he said. “Perhaps if the Weatherill Labor Government had taken the time to consult with the people impacted by its decision, it would have realised that the relatively small budget saving was not worth the near destruction of a rural community.�

Renmark Club’s $2 million upgrades take into account...
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pages 9 and 11
One way street proposal By BRAD PERRY THE Renmark Club is “fully backing” a proposal by the Renmark Paringa Council to convert Murray Avenue into a one way street. Renmark Club manager Brenton Franks said a planned $2 million upgrade to its facilities takes into account the proposal. Currently the club has a footpath and car parking space facing onto Murray Avenue but Mr Franks said the front of the facility will extend onto the road if council approval is succesful. “With the Renmark Paringa Council going for the one way street, we are trying to get a little bit of room from them and push-
ing it out two metres if we can,” Mr Franks said. “We’ll just lose two car parks out the front.” Mr Franks said the internal renovations could begin as early as March next year including upgrades to the kitchen area, bar

all the shops can get on board and relocate and get down here as well,” Mr Franks said. “The more people around, the more people will be happy and everybody will benefit.” While there are a number
of empty shops in the Renmark town centre and on Murray Avenue, Mr Franks said creating the one way street concept will bring with it a new atmosphere. “I’m sure if there were four more cafes down here, it’s not going to worry me too much or the hotel or the cafes that are already here, because it will just attract more people,” he said. “We think that what we’ve got planned will be beneficial for everybody who wanders up here.” Upgrades to the club are about “keeping up with the 21st century” and will go ahead regardless of the success of an application to the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund, according to Mr Franks.
Salvos call for blankets as winter kicks in THE Riverland’s disadvantaged could be suffering through freezing winter mornings and nights without warmth due to a shortage of blankets. Berri based Salvation Army is calling on the public to give generously and provide those in need with a blanket this winter. Berri Salvos Store manager Helen Adamczyk said currently around four blankets are being donated per day but are being sold almost immediately. “Naturally the cold weather brings people in for extra blankets and that can range from people who need extra blankets because they are doing it rough and sleeping out or it can range to just families who want an extra blanket for the kids’ bed,” she said. “At the moment as they (blankets) come in, which is maybe three or four a week, they are get-
ting priced and tagged and put onto the shop floor and almost sold straight away. “We absolutely have no surplus blankets. “I still think we could get a sale for 15 to 20 blankets.” Mrs Adamcyzk said buying warmer items at the Salvos Store is the “end of the line” for some families. “I would really just like to encourage the community, whom is very generous and very supportive of the work that we do, to have an extra rethink about what’s perhaps in their cupboards, warm items they could possibly donate to sell,” she said. “At this time of the year when it is a little bit cold, people are reluctant to clean out their cupboards but if they’ve got surplus items, particularly in winter goods, and they no longer have a use for them, donate them to us.”

Premier commits $2 million to river campaign THE State Government has followed in the footsteps of upstream states by committing $2 million to a Fight for The Murray campaign. About 1500 people have already signed up to the campaign where they are able to participate by sharing stories, comments and photos on Twitter and Facebook. Premier Jay Weatherill yesterday told the Parliamentary Estimates Committee that the funding will help bring the community’s opinion to the forefront of the national debate on the River Murray.
He said the funding for the campaign will come from existing resources in the Department of Premier and Cabinet, as well as new funding. “This decision has not been taken lightly but if we believe the river is important, it is incumbent upon us to fight for it,” Mr Weatherill said. “The choice is clear – we can either stand up for what we know and believe to be fair and right, or we can settle for second best. “I make no apologies for choosing to Fight for the Murray because if we lay down now we
will simply be walked over. “A detailed campaign strategy is currently being prepared and our campaign effort will become more apparent very soon.” Mr Weatherill said he is confident the campaign will make South Australia’s position on the Murray Darling Basin clear. “In the past few weeks we have seen upstream states backing away from river reform,” he said. “Within three days of being awarded nearly half a billion in federal funds, the New South Wales government cut its own funding for national river reforms
by 60 per cent, with further cuts planned. “Victoria is actively seeking to reduce the volume of water to be returned to the river to as little as 2100 gigalitres or less. “We already can see the effect of campaigns being run by upstream interests at work. “Billions being invested in irrigation infrastructure in NSW and Victoria while our state’s responsible use of the river goes unrewarded.” People interested in joining the campaign to Fight for the Murray can do so at www.fightforthemurray.com.au

Concerns over Lyrup ferry’s long term future CONCERN continues to surround the Lyrup ferry after the State Government failed to secure its future by signing a five year extension, similar to other ferry operators around South Australia. Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone will issue a please explain to the Department of Transport on why the Lyrup service has not been included. Mr Whetstone said he has received a response from the State Government in regards to the ferry but it fails to give him a definitive answer. “I did hear a response that the department has signed a contract for Lyrup but what he (Transport Minister Pat Conlon) hasn’t given me is what length that contract was for,” Mr Whetstone said. “I want a clear answer from him that he will not proceed with the closure of Lyrup. ‘Other ferry services have been given five year contracts, I want to know whether the Lyrup ferry has signed a five year contract.” A traffic counter must be installed at the entrance of the Lyrup ferry to gain a real understanding of how much use it gets, according to Mr Whetstone. “I spoke to the ferry operators on Friday and over the weekend and they are talking that they have between 500 and 600 people going across that ferry, or could have that many, in one day,” he said. “What the government have done is they have a selective process of counting the numbers. “They need to put rubber strips at that ferry site for a 12 month period so they can have the average use of the ferry, not just selected winter months or selected times that might suit the statisticians for the government offices. “More importantly look at how many people use that ferry on a daily basis, not an annual basis, we need to get a clear picture of just how important it is annually.”
A local repairer believes decision to close Cadell ferry will...
Cost people’s lives WAIKERIE repairer Stuart McKay believes a decision to close the Cadell ferry as of June 30 could “cost people’s lives”. Currently, Mr McKay said he attends a number of vehicle breakdowns and accidents on Murraylands Road as part of his RAA and towing service and that will only increase with the ferry closure. “What concerns me is that you get a lot of people staying in shacks that come up from Adelaide and if there is a backlog on the Morgan side, they will shoot down the Murraylands Road to Blanchetown to link up with the Sturt Highway,” Mr McKay said. “I can tell you now the amount of prangs we’ve picked up off the road down there that are all young kids from Adelaide and those accident statistics will only increase. “They will get fatal accidents on that road because of this decision. “To upgrade that dirt road is going to take a lot more than $400,000.” Mr McKay, who raised the issue during a public meeting at the Cadell Institute last Thursday, said vehicles breaking down in that area will also be forced to wait longer for assistance. “If people break down in that area and want the RAA, depending on where they’ve broken down, they might have two to three hours to wait for assistance,” he said. “Easter time that is going

A group of local delegates also plan to meet with Transport Minister Pat Conlon next week. ■ GATHERED: A 500 plus strong crowd attended a State Goverment meeting in Cadell on Thursday.
SHADOW Tourism Minster David Ridgway has called on Tourism Minister Gail Gago to insist the decision to close the Cadell ferry must be reversed or resign. Mr Ridgway said Minister Gago must lobby Premier Jay Weatherill, Treasurer Jack Snelling and Transport Minister Pat Conlon to keep the ferry open. “The ferry doesn’t cost,” Mr Ridgway said. “It more than pays for itself by promoting tourism, stimulating economic activity, growing regional investment and providing an essential service to the people of Cadell and beyond. “Tourism is a $5 billion industry in South Australia. “A good government should be encouraging tourism, not killing it. “The Riverland has already had to handle the impact of drought, water cuts and higher water charges, low export prices and a changing economy. “I say this to Minister Gago; keep this ferry open or resign your commission as Tourism Minister.”
Annual bird sale expected to attract visitors to region
Thinkthe of
AROUND 1000 people are expected to attend this Sunday’s Bird Sale and Family Fair at the Riverland Exhibition Centre in Barmera with this year’s event hosting an increased number of sellers. The annual event, which has been running for more than 15 years, offers a range of colourfully exhibited birds with many of them available to purchase. Sellers are expected to travel from across the country to attend this weekend’s event. Organiser Graham Matthews said not only will birds be up for sale but those in attendance will be able to witness a wide array of bird species from across the world. “There is an opportunity to see a lot of birds that they dreamed would never prob-

event last year.” The birds on show at the fair range from small finches and budgerigars through to various species of parrots and large cockatoos. Berri man Peter Philp, who will attend Sunday’s event, has been breeding birds for 35 years and said the fair is “a meeting forum for all breeders”. “My thrill is to breed the birds,” he said. Mr Philp currently travels across South Australia attending different bird sales. Amongst his current collection are eight different species of lorikeets and the eclectus green bird. There are a number of interesting trade stalls on display this year with the trading of birds taking place between 12 and 2pm.

Feeling the rise IRRIGATORS and wineries are continually being hit hard by high utility bills as electricity costs continue to rise. Central Irrigation Trust has been talking to its growers over the past week about the increasing electricity expenses. The electricity price rise for the Central Irrigation Trust is on par with the announcement that domestic power fees will rise by 18 per cent, according to chief executive officer Gavin McMahon.
“The 18 per cent is the domestic tariffs, ours are slightly harder to interpret but when you work it all it out it is similar across the entire bill,” he said. “We have been talking to customers over the past week. “They are very disappointed that the carbon tax is implemented and it’s impacting on them and they are disappointed that ETSA just seem to have an unsustainable attitude towards power increases.” Mr McMahon said CIT has faced
price hikes in electricity of almost 100 per cent over the past three years. “It flows right through the whole community,” he said. “The cost to the wineries will go up, every sort of input cost you’ve got just keeps going up. “It affects business as much as it affects every individual. “We have been discussing more broadly in government both here but more particularly federally and I think people are really starting to understand the impact this is having.”

Pressure on Riverland households to grow as electricity prices rise as of July 1 MEMBER for Barker Patrick Secker said the pressure on household budgets in the region will rise following the announcement of an 18 per cent increase in electricity prices from July 1. The announcement was made last week by the Essential Services Commission with South Australian households to pay on average an extra $275 per year and small businesses to pay an extra $527 per year. “The Labor Government is introducing the world’s biggest Carbon Tax and as a result Barker residents and businesses will pay the world’s highest electric-
ity prices,” Mr Secker said. “The Commission’s announcement also revealed South Australian’s can expect their gasbills to increase by $1.47 per gigajoule from July 1 this year. “The carbon tax is a significant contributor to this 18 per cent electricity price increase and it is a blow to local families and local businesses. “Families in Barker are already feeling the strain of high cost of living and small businesses are struggling with a two speed economy. “The Carbon Tax will be a huge burden and it is only going to get worse.”

37,000 training places for locals STATE Employment, Higher Education and Skills Minister Tom Kenyon was in the Riverland yesterday to announce fee free training courses for 37,000 people in the region as part of the Skills for All reforms. Minister Kenyon says Skills for All aims to increase skill levels, lift workplace participation and increase productivity by offering training for existing workers and those trying to break into the workforce. “About 400 training courses will be free, including every Certificate I and Certificate II course, as well as accredited reading, writing, numeracy and computing courses and courses determined as priorities for the state,” he said. “About 700 Certificate III and IV courses and 400 Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses will be funded, including 600 courses never funded before.”
A LOCAL activist is warning Riverland pet owners to take extra precautions after she claims several animals have been stolen from homes to be used to breed. Loxton’s Martina Roberts, who has been involved with the Moorook Animal Shelter for the past 13 years, said she has been told a vehicle was going around the Riverland stealing animals. “A lot of pedigree dogs have been stolen for breeding,” she said. “They want to get them breeding because then they are going to sell them. “A lot of dogs too are being pinched for fighting. “Someone was telling me about this truck going around and pinching dogs and everybody is pretty quiet about it and nobody is game enough to
speak up.” Mrs Roberts said she has heard several reports of dogs going missing in the Riverland in the past month. “We are also a bit worried about the fur trade,” she said. “A lot of dogs and cats are actually skinned alive for their fur. “I’ve had a few people who have just come up and told me about dogs that have gone missing.” Pet owners need to make sure their animals are secured in their property before going to work and they need to be microchipped and desexed for extra protection, according to Mrs Roberts. “They go off to work and don’t have their gate padlocked and the next thing you know, the dog’s gone and that is a fact,” she said.
New technology offers hospital information RIVERLAND residents will soon be able to see up-to-date information about the waiting times and the number of patients being treated in local hospitals. The dashboard, which is available online from midday tomorrow, will be updated every 30 minutes to provide real-time information about bed occupancy, average length of stay and patient admissions and discharges. Minister for Health and Ageing John Hill said the launch of the inpatient dashboard is another step in making the health system even more transparent. “People will be able to see
the same information used by their doctors, nurses and health professionals to manage capacity and plan services in our busy hospitals,” Minister Hill said. “The inpatient dashboard gives detailed information on the number of patients in hospital at any one time. “The dashboard also includes information specific to Riverland hospitals about the number of patients currently within each clinical area.” From midday, you can see the inpatient data at the on the ‘Our hospital dashboards’ page of the SA Health website at www. sahealth.sa.gov.au

Berri’s Robin Foley journeyed overseas to participate in the marriage of a former local
Memorable Indian wedding By ROBIN FOLEY A VISIT to India wasn’t on my bucket list until former Berri dentist Kosha Jhalla invited me to attend her wedding to Grishm Bhatt. I decided that the privilege of attending a Hindu wedding in India was a “once in a lifetime opportunity” and that I had to go. Kosha and her husband are both young people of Indian heritage who came to Adelaide as students, completed their degrees and became Australian citizens. About 20 Australian friends travelled to the wedding in April, including about six young doctors of Indian or Malaysian heritage.
Relatives and friends came from all over India, the United States, Kenya and Dubai. Flying into Ahmedabad, I had time to look at the markets and visit Mahatma Gandhi’s Ashram, a 600 year old stepping well and an ancient Muslim Mosque. Two days later we travelled to Gandhinaga (named in honour of Gandhi) for the Mehndi ceremony and pre-wedding party with the following day being the formal wedding ceremony. The groom arrived on a decorated white horse with a band playing and his family, friends and relatives dancing around the groom. Of course, Kosha looked stunning in all

her wedding costumes, jewellery and henna painting on her hands and feet. The women looked absolutely stunning in their beautiful sarees, all in beautiful colours, many with gold threads in them. I wore Indian clothes for the whole trip but I chose not to tackle a saree instead choosing to wear salwar kameez, which is basically a long tunic with loose pants and a dupatta (a large scarf). Our local Indian women often wear this costume. The Indian people seemed to appreciate seeing us in their traditional clothes, in fact, these costumes were very comfortable and appropriate for the 40 plus degree weather. Following the wedding ceremonies, the groom’s uncle (who owns a large travel agency in India), arranged a six day tour specifically for us. For the start of our tour, we flew to Delhi and viewed some iconic sites and then travelled by bus to Agra and on to Jaipur to see all of the top tourist spots. Every moment of the bus trip was a fascinating being able to see all the different forms of transport as the Indian population went about their daily chores. On the road were cattle, elephants, camels, tuk-tuks, cars, trucks, tractors and buses. We saw grain crops being harvested by hand and women working on the roads, mud-brick making and stone carving. The all marble Taj Mahal at Agra was stunning with the forts and palaces about 600 to 700 years old and the sheer magnitude of the structures was truly amazing. The guides kept me fascinated with all the history and romantic love stories of the kings and their wives. Following our six day tour, we flew to Mumbai for the groom’s reception hosted by his parents. Here we enjoyed more warm Indian hospitality, Indian food and more colourful Indian sarees. The bride and groom greeted about 450 friends and relatives on a stage decorated with hundreds of Singapore orchids. On our last day, the groom’s parents took us on a tour of Mumbai, viewing all of the English and Indian buildings in the central business district and also the Gates of India.

Jeff’s passion for Yatco REPORT BY
BRAD PERRY AS JEFF Drogemuller looks out across Yatco Lagoon, he hears nothing but the call of birds near the water’s edge. There is something so peaceful and tranquil about the lagoon, located in Moorook, that brings a smile to Jeff’s face. Jeff’s passion for Yatco Lagoon and his local community over the past three decades was acknowledged this month during the inaugural Riverland Natural Resources Management Volunteer Awards. However, the modest fruit grower does not volunteer his time for awards but for the love of his town and community.
Jeff’s ancestors THE Drogemuller name dates back more than 100 years when Jeff’s great grandfather emigrated to Yatco Lagoon in Moorook. Back when his ancestors were on the land in the early 1900s, they experienced the natural wetting and drying cycles of the wetland. Growing up Jeff knew all about the history of his family and its involvement with Yatco Lagoon and also on the land. “I was brought up in the times when there were plenty of jobs and my parents had a farm,” he said. “When I left school I had an instant job to go to so I worked for my dad. “We established our current orange block and that was to help offset prices when wheat was down or during the drought, so we could grow some irrigated stuff and we’ve been in that since about 1960.” Early on Jeff decided to travel but it made him appreciate what he had at home. “We got to India, a friend and myself, and hitchhiked through to Israel and across to Europe, travelled around there and then to England,” he said. “Like most people it made me appreciate what we have here so
much more. “I came back from that trip thinking that we’ve got as much of what I’ve seen in Australia, maybe not as big or as high, but we’ve got everything, it’s all here.” From there Jeff joined a tour group in Central Australia as a part time driver where he got to see another side of the country during the winter and was back on the farm at Moorook in the summer. Jeff got married and decided to concentrate on fruit growing and once his father retired, he took on the responsibility of the fruit block. “The block was really good and there was enough money there to educate our kids,” he said. “Now things have changed, it’s harder to make a living and we’ve had to rethink what we are doing. “ Through the drought we suffered a lack of water and it was hard to understand that when we owned our water, we’d worked and paid for it all and we weren’t allowed to take it, so we had to spend our retirement money buying water.”

get their roots into the water table they will die. “We were lucky enough to be involved with Moorook irrigators at that stage and instead of putting a lot of water through the growth line in the soil, they restricted their irrigation, changed their irrigation practices and that water table absolutely dropped. “The trees today are still looking beautiful and that was 25 years ago.”
GIVEN the Drogemuller family’s long association with Yatco Lagoon, Jeff began to become more involved with the picturesque wetland. “When we had the water restrictions we were told by the government that we were going to block Yatco off and dry it out,” he said. “So instead of protesting, we decided if it is going to happen it will, so we might as well help as much as can and see if we can improve this into a wetland, so we can get it back to like it was before the Locks went in during 1925. “We’ve seen it dry out once and we know we’re on a winner. “We are working with nature and nature is just wonderful with
what it can do and that gives my wife and I enough enthusiasm to keep going.” Jeff is co-chair and a founding member of the Yatco Wetland Landcare Group and through this association, he is constantly monitoring groundwater, tree health, salinity and bird life. “By returning this to a wetland we hopefully will achieve getting more of the softer feeding birds such as the pink-eared duck and musk ducks,” he said. “I want to see Yatco through to its final plan, so our wetting and drying can be introduced.” One thing is for certain, Jeff will spend many more hours sitting watching out over his beloved wetland, thankful for the path life has taken him.
I want to see Yatco through to its final plan so our wetting and drying can be introduced. ed d.
Giving to nature AT his mother’s funeral at Moorook, a realisation came over Jeff. “When my mother died, we buried here at Moorook Cemetery, it was a shocking day, windy, dusty, bits of rain and not a shelter anywhere,” Jeff said. “So through our primary school both my wife and I were very heavily involved in that and we got a grant through Greening Australia, enough to supply 200 trees and council helped put water onto the cemetery and we established that. “That was the start of involvement in seeing what you could do by tidying up the place and growing trees.” Jeff then turned his attention to Wachtel’s Lagoon. “We decided we’d like to do something along Wachtel’s Lagoon on the main nature strip,” he said. “There was nothing much there so we got a grant to plant trees there and we were told that the trees wouldn’t grow because once they

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Proud town suffers AS A Cadell resident and manager of The Cadell Community Club, I am writing this letter with a heavy heart. Cadell is a very proud town that has suffered quite a substancial amount like many other small communities in the region in recent years. During long drought we battled through with heavy water restrictions for block owners and also during the flood, our undervalued fruit industry suffered at the hands of an ignorant government. We have coped with that and just got on with it. No whinging. No begging for handouts. No worries. That’s what living in this great country in a country town is about. The impending closure of the Cadell ferry is sadly a reminder to us all that we simply do NOT matter. We, along with the whole Riverland region, provide a huge amount of income to the Government purse but we just don’t count when it comes time to be repaid in-kind. This decision affects us all. It will have a domino effect throughout many towns. We were NOT consulted and given only nine days notice until the meeting to put forth our case upon deaf ears. We have been doing everything we can to fight back around the clock, 24/7, and we are growing weary but we will not give up. Put simply, if we allow this to happen to us on June 30, who will be next? Please consider our fight and join us in saying to Transport Minister Patrick Conlon and the Premier Jay Weatherill – Enough is Enough!
Were they even listening? Many of the questions raised at the meeting and on local radio remain unanswered with the biggest being, where is the regional impact statement that this very government implemented when making such decisions that affect rural communities? We heard the emotional plea of the family that lost a son due to an accident on the north side and would have lost another had the Cadell ferry not been there. Is there going to have be a tragedy to realise that $400,000 is a small price to pay for one’s life? The only reason that the Department of Tansport could come up with for closing the ferry was based on counting cars on a ferry once a year, over a two week period, going back 10 years. These are very rubbery figures at best. It was blatantly obvious that the Department of Transport has a culture of waste and overruns. Surely a saving can be found, perhaps one or two ‘fat cats’ could be replaced? To hear the passion and anger of the Cadell community, surely Mr Conlon, you can acknowledge and face the people of Cadell. Give them the real and honest reason why you are closing the ferry. For it is you Mr Conlon and noone else that, with one simple tick of a pen, can guarantee the survival of the Cadell ferry. Let’s not rip the heart and soul out of this small community of South Australia.
MORE LETTERS ON PAGE 11 Apologies were received from two other Riverland councils. Three elected state members also were in attendance, which included both local members. We were asked to supply information about how the closure of the Cadell ferry would adversely affect people. They told the meeting that they wanted to take these reasons back and for us to supply figures and information. So it was with most DISGUST that I heard their spokesperson announce on Adelaide radio, less than 12 hours after the meeting, that they had not learnt anything new and that their recommendation was that the ferry service be closed. So basically there has never been consultation with our community or other communities that the closure would affect. The meeting at Cadell was an announcement. I am, like so many others, in that I am sick of people in the country being ignored, not consulted and being treated like second class citizens. Daniel McGurgan, Chairman Cadell Community and Tourist Association.
Ferry closure beggars belief
THE SA Strategic Plan is described as the ‘long term blueprint for our future’. At the risk of boring readers with jargon, I will quote from the plan. Paul Liebich, Our State Government Strategic Taylorville. Plan states that “our identity and economic prosperity has been, and continues to be, shaped by regional Proud and then disgusted South Australia”. One of the plan’s targets is to Jo Willington, THE support that rolled up at the “increase regional populations, outCadell.

South Australian food industry to $20 billion by 2020”. Exports goal – “Increase the value of South Australia’s export income to $25 billion by 2020”. Tourism goal - “Increase visitor expenditure in South Australia’s total tourism industry to $8 billion by 2020”. So to sum up the State Strategic Plan, it is a vision and goal for our region to increase its population and grow its economy through business expansion, particularly in the areas of food production and exports and also to substantially increase our region’s tourist visitation. To close the Cadell ferry would, in essence, be closing a road in our community. Since when in a growth community do we close a road? Growing communities need expansion in their road infrastructure, not closures. One of the goals in the SA Strategic Plan is that “South Australia’s transport network enables efficient movement by industry and the community”. A target is to “ensure the provision of key economic and social infrastructure accommodates population growth”. I suggest that the State Government refer to its own strategic plan and therefore reverse their decision to close the Cadell ferry. Liz Frankel, Waikerie.
Reconsider closure DEAR Minister, I am writing to implore you to reconsider the decision to close the Cadell ferry. I attended the meeting last night (Thursday) in Cadell and listened to the officials from the Transport Department. You need to understand how this will effect the community as a whole, not just be concerned with saving $400,000. There needs to be impact studies done on the effect on business, tourism and extended travel times, just to name a few issues. During the normal course of my business I utilise both ferrys and I can guarantee you that the Morgan ferry will in no way cope with larger traffic volumes especially in peak season. I am also concerned that motorists frustrated in delays at Morgan will begin to travel the Murrylands road between Morgan and Blanchtown. This road is notorious for its poor state and I know accident rates will increase in proportion to the delays experienced at Morgan.
I see this first hand as we are called to do accident towing in this region and this road tends to catch out the younger inexperienced city drivers. I know because I pick them up. In closing I can only ask you once again to reconsider what you have been told by your Transport Department and think of the community impact for our region. Please study the broader impact this closure will have on the Riverland community. Stuart McKay, Waikerie.
What is the real cost? THE government are closing the Cadell ferry to supposedly save $400,000 but what is the cost of a) removing all the infrastructure from the site, b) closing off the two access roads securely, c) sign posting throughout the Riverland and Burra areas advising of the closure and what alternate routes to be taken and d) upgrading the alternative road routes and especially the intersection with the Sturt Highway? Chris and Ian Bodinar, Cadell.
Poor treatment JAY Weatherill and Pat Conlon, is this the way you let your departments treat the people of South Australia? First of all you coerce the people with the ferry contract into shortening their contract by eight months in the belief that a new contract will be renewed after June 30, 2012. You then make a phone call to hire the Cadell Institute to advise the people of the closure but give no notification to any residents that this meeting was going to be held. Did you expect to hold this meeting with noone present? It certainly looked like it when the presenters turned up with one piece of A4 paper with figures on it. Where were the written handouts to substantiate your supposed impact study on the effect of the closure on all Cadell ratepayers and surrounding areas? This is not a Government of transparency Jay. What happened to the agreement you signed with the councils to “work together to achieve better outcomes for South Australian communities, better collaboration and co-operation”. The Mid Murray Council were not even advised. I have no confidence in this Government. Country people pay taxes too. Janelle Anderson, Cadell Lagoon.

THE ITALIAN MOSAIC TOUR
A unique 17 day tour of Italy Ever dreamed of travelling to Italy and returning with the most inspiring photographs? Well, here is your chance.
H
ARVEY World Travel and renowned photographer Italo Vardaro have teamed up to offer a unique personally escorted tour to Italy, called the ‘Italian Mosaic’. The tour, departing on July 12, 2013, will encompass Italy’s most famous and historic elements. Experience the romantic scenery of Venice, the tranquil waters of Capri and the remarkable history of Rome, all through the lens of a camera. Italy is a movable feast of endless courses. No matter how much you gorge yourself on its splendours, you always feel you haven’t made it past the antipasti. Few countries offer such variety and few visitors leave without a fervent desire to return. “We are going to concentrate on seeing things and discovering things, rather than just being a tourist, we are going to be explorers,” Italo said. “Photography plays an integral part of your holiday because as you are photographing you are learning and that’s what gives another dimension to your travels.” The Italian Mosaic tour is for camera enthusiasts across all levels from the beginner to the advanced photographer and even for the non-photographers who want to indulge in all the beauty that Italy has to offer. “For the beginners, it really is sticking to the basics,” Italo said. “They may be taking photographs and not understanding what they are doing and I’ll be able to enlighten them on the basics, meaning basic composition, basic lighting and basic camera skills. “For the person who is a little more advanced in photography, we start delving into the exposures and the capability of the camera. “And the really die hard camera enthusiasts and camera club members will then start seeking the ‘wow’ shots, which is getting up early in the morning or staying out late at night and trying different exposures and different ways of seeing things. “We’ll be up early to get in the light and the magic of a new day breaking and exploring all the nooks and crannies.” Whilst visiting landmarks such as the Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa and the waterways of Venice and much more, you will have the opportunity to capture all of this whilst having the photographic expertise of Italo Vardaro along the way. So, why join a personally escorted holiday? Being accompanied by a travel escort on your journey means extra personal assistance to make your holiday a more enjoyable, hassle free adventure. You can rest assured the travel providers Harvey World Travel uses are only those with the highest reputation to ensure your holiday experience exceeds your expectations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No consultation, no impact assessment and no logic ONE hundred vehicles on a quiet day. The Cadell ferry makes just as much profit for the State Government as any other ferry on the river – none. Just the same as any stretch of road. It is with this infrastructure that South Australians go about their lives and generate wealth to underpin the economy. The Department of Transport has devised a formula to depict the Cadell ferry as a black hole, vortexing state wealth in at no return to taxpayers. This is far more palatable to assert than the fact Cadell ferry makes a politically “soft target” for closure. The Department of Transport simply announced the Cadell ferry will close with three weeks warning, no community consultation, no impact assessment, no logic and no benefit to this state, now or in the long term. A “suck it up” meeting was subsequently convened to rub our noses in it after the event. It appears a culture of arrogance emanating from the ministry filters down through the bureaucracy, culminating in the insulting behaviour of the Department of Transport representatives at last week’s meeting. We were told it was important that we get to speak, listen and be heard. That’s the definition of hypocrisy as the decision had already been made. Riverland communities are asked to show responsibility to the “broader taxpayer” to save Government ministers that obligation. If the Department of Transport representatives at last week’s meeting had been listening, the message was quite clear. To put it politely, there is plenty of scope to save money through better management without closing a vital service. We are, after all, talking about $400,000 per year.
Have your say about the issues that affect you.
A done deal? A WELL constructed and somewhat dramatic plea from the Cadell community and Tourist Association has been circulated of late, seeking a reversal of the SA Government’s announcement that the Cadell ferry is to be discontinued from July 1. Many of the statements and arguments to support the views of Mr (Daniel) McGurgan and his committee cannot be refuted or criticised in any way. The facts, in most cases presented, are plain for all to see and accept. The writer of this letter does not, however, entirely agree with the arguments against closure but I do accept them as being geniune. Firstly, my observations for quite a while now indicate that many travellers driving west to east or vice versa, ex-Victoria, use the Sturt Highway and turn to the Waikerie ferry to reach the Morgan-Burra Road. Traffic on the Monash-Morgan Road is relatively light in comparison. Secondly, the township of Cadell will not ‘die’ as claimed by many. Other SA towns that have been subject to
a form of by-pass over recent years have survived various enforced changes. Living at Mount Barker years ago allowed me to see how that town had flourished once the freeway was in place, despite the gloom and doom furore at the time the freeway was proposed. The bottom line however, is the dilemma of the SA Government to offset the much lower income that GST has been generating for it up until now. Each and every department has to somehow reduce their budgets to offset this, plus annually expanding costs of total governance. Hence, Transport SA needs to do so with the Cadell ferry being a $400,000 proportion of that need (a cynic may be excused for comment that, after all, votes out of the Cadell/ Morgan area are not a large proportion of the total rural/remote SA electorate). Workers, growers and school children will be obliged to undertake longer journeys and this is possibly the major supporting point of Mr McGurgan’s letter. A point not to be ignored. Yet, to place a more constructive viewpoint upon the whole matter, may I emphasise an area that needs to
be considered? Pupils at the smaller rural schools do miss out to a degree by not having the social and competitive contact that occurs in the larger country schools, so many educationalists tell us. Added to this is often a desire for older primary school students to receive a wider syllabus to effectively prepare them for high school years. Such is not always possible in smaller schools that cannot budget for extra staff to provide guidance focused upon these needs. A daily journey to larger primary schools at Waikerie or Morgan, inconvenient and tiresome as it may be, could be beneficial to our younger generation. Add to this the fact that one fine day the Government (with Federal help) may seriously consider building a bridge across the Murray at a convenient location between Cadell and Morgan. After all is said, isn’t the ferry closure a done deal anyway? Allen Bennett, Waikerie.

Jock Gordon, Cadell.
Join rally over ferry closure LAST Thursday night I attended a packed meeting at the Cadell Institute to hear the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure tell the local community that as of June 30, they would no longer have a ferry service. This message was delivered by departmental staff, no prior consultation of the community from the Weatherill Labor Government, no explanation from Transport Minister Patrick Conlon and worst of all, we are yet to receive any response from Minister Gail Gaigo. Gail Gaigo as Minister for Agriculture, Tourism and Regional Development has been silent, when all three of her portfolio responsibilities will be negatively impacted by this decision. We were told at the meeting of the impact on young farming families who have managed to survive through low water allocations and now see an opportunity to rebuild horticultural production and utilise the modern efficient irrigation infrastructure to help the district recover. Young farmers like Steve Liebich should be given support from the Agriculture Minister to grow their businesses not have vital infrastructure taken away. All river communities need to be concerned about the Cadell ferry closure, as it was made clear if there is an alternative route that has a sealed road and the department believes the ferry, due to lack of patronage, is not viable you may be next. If the Department needs to save money in the future then Lyrup, Purnong, Narrung and potentially Tailem Bend are all at risk. I call on the State Liberals or a cross bench member to move a Private Members Bill to suspend the closure of the Cadell ferry pending a more comprehensive vehicle movement survey based on complete annual data. The community also demands a comprehensive economic impact review of the impact of the removal of the ferry. If you believe, as I do, that this penny pinching State Labor Government is removing services from rural South Australians to help prop up their poor budget position, then I encourage you to help the community of Cadell and the Riverland West Region by attending the planned public rally on Wednesday, June 27 at Parliament House in Adelaide.

TAX TIME
Tips to help during tax time By AMP Financial Planner Danny Kearney* DON’T forget! Make sure you are claiming all possible deductions this tax time. With the June 30 just around the corner, now may be a good time to start planning strategies on how to minimise taxation. In the lead up to tax time we often spend time sifting through old receipts to see what expenses we can claim when we should be looking deeper into our accounts and using financial strategies to ensure we are making the most of all possible deductions. Here are some points to
remember in the lead up to June 30.
PREPAYMENT LIST: Fixed rate investment and property loans Prepaying some, or all, of your 2012/13 interest before July 1, will bring forward your tax deduction in this financial year.
property, you may also be able to prepay this and claim a tax deduction in this financial year.
Note that capital losses cannot be claimed against ordinary income and can only be offset against capital gains.
Income protection insurance
Donations
Similarly, by paying the 2012/13 premium before July 1, you will be able to bring forward this tax deduction to this financial year
Any donations over $2 made to legitimate charitable organistaions are 100 per cent deductable, so don’t forget to donate to these worthy and needy charities.
Private health insurance
SUPER STRATEGIES:
General insurance
With the reduction of If you have insurance the Private Health Insurance cover on your investment rebate from July 1, now is the time to consider prepaying all, or part, of the 2012/13 year premiums to maximise the current rebate. Some Private Health Insurers, such as Bupa, will allow “Working with clients to help them achieve you pay up to 14 months premiums in their business and personal goals‌..â€? advance, maximising the current 30 per cent rebate.
TAX TIME Confused, frustrated, anxious‌?
Make an appointment to see our advisors at Shugg Group, they can help you create a tax strategy that is in line with your goals.

Bring forward capital losses If you have any non-performing investment assets, you may want to consider selling them in order to realise the capital loss in this financial year. This money can then be freed up to go into investments with greater potential.
Government co-contribution bonus This financial year is the last chance for eligible individuals with incomes less than $61,920 to qualify for the full $1000 cocontribution bonus, as it will be halved from July 1 onwards. You will need to make a non-concessional contribution of up to $1000 to your super fund for the full bonus. In a world where a 5 per cent return on investment is bearable, this represents a return on investment of 100 per cent, so don’t miss this opportunity.
Personal deductible or salary sacrifice contributions If you are aged between 50 and 74 and still meet the work test, this is the last chance to access the $50,000
concessional superannuation contribution limits, as they will be reducing to $25,000 next financial year. Individuals under 50, can still access the full $25,000 contribution limit this year and save paying tax at their marginal rate. Be sure to check that these limits for this financial year are not exceeded.
Spouse contribution If eligible, you can make a non-concessional super contribution into your spouse’s super account and receive a tax offset of up to $540, where your spouse’s income is less than $10,800.
The $450,000 “bring forward� non-concessional contribution rule While it’s still possible to contribute up to $150,000 per annum into super, providing you have met the work test, it may be possible to access the $450,000 bring forward rule. This allows individuals to access the greater contribution limit, depending on your other non-concessional contributions since July 1, 2007. If you have, or are, turning 65 this financial year and have met the work test, this is your last opportunity to transfer assets up to this amount into the tax
friendly super environment and subsequently the more generous tax environment of Allocated Annuities in preparation for your retirement.. While tax can have a significant impact on how soon you reach your financial goals, it’s important to remember that the different strategies available to minimise your tax should be considered all year round, not just in these last remaining weeks of the financial year. Each strategy or investment should also be able to stand on its own merits and should not be used solely as a tax-effective instrument. Seek advice, speak to your financial adviser, accountant or tax adviser now, and control the things you can. *Danny Kearney is an Authorised Representative of AMP Financial Planning Pty Ltd, ABN 89 051 208 327, AFS Licence No. 232 706 Any advice given if general only and has not taken into account yout objectives, financial situation or needs.

Ways to save money on your tax With June 30 fast approaching, author of 101 Ways to Save Money on Your Tax - Legally! Adrian Raftery shares his tips and advice on how to make the most out of your refund. IT MAY not seem like much time but what you do this month could have a significant impact on your upcoming tax bill or refund. June 30 is coming around quick and the coming weeks represent a last chance opportunity to organise your affairs to save on tax. It’s time to dig out your paperwork and get organised. “There are so many different types of government benefits and tax concessions these days that it is no wonder we don’t understand what we are entitled to,” Mr Raftery, aka the taxman said. “It is confusing and consequently some people are not claiming everything they should be entitled to.”
Here are tax tips from Mr Taxman Adrian Raftery:
1. Family trust resolutions After years of abuse, this year it is mandatory for those with family (or discretionary) trusts to have a written trustee resolution before June 30 showing the intended distribution of income to family members. Careful tax planning is required otherwise it may cost your family thousands in unnecessary (and unwanted) taxes.
2. Car log book If you use your car for work purposes and keep a log book for 12 weeks then
the deductions can be in the thousands of dollars. Make sure that you keep all costs associated with the running of your car (such as petrol, insurance, registration, servicing, lease payments) for the whole year, not just the period that you kept the log book.
July to defer tax for another year. And remember that if you hold shares for more than 12 months you reduce CGT by half.
3. Minimise capital gains tax (CGT)
With the ATO continuing to ramp up their audit activity yet again, it is important that you keep your receipts. The ATO motto is no receipt, no deduction, so you could be costing yourself dollars by not keeping those dockets.
The share market has had a roller coaster year in 2012. If you made a nice capital gain or two earlier in the financial year then you can reduce CGT by selling any non-performing shares that you may be currently holding. Any unrealised gains should be sold after 1
4. Keep your receipts
5. Get a great accountant Avoid paying too much in tax or leaving yourself to a visit from the taxman. Great accountants are like surveyors they know where the boundaries are. And their fees are tax deductible. This information is of a general nature only and does not constitute professional advice. You must seek professional advice in relation to your particular circumstances before acting. These tips were provided by Mr Taxman, Adrian Raftery, author of 101 Ways to Save Money on Your Tax - Legally! 2012-13 edition
■ TIPS: Author Adrian Raftery believes preparation for tax time is vital.
What’s new in 2012? When completing your tax return there are a number of things you may need to be aware. Education Tax Refund IN the 2012 Budget the Government announced that the Education Tax Refund would be replaced by a new payment called the Schoolkids Bonus, to be paid by the Department of Human Services. As part of the transition to the new Schoolkids Bonus, the Education Tax Refund for 2011-12 will be paid in full to all eligible families as a one-off payment from June 20, 2012. This means you will no longer need to claim the Education Tax Refund in your tax return during tax time. If you do not receive the one-off payment in June, contact the Department of Human Services to find out if you are entitled to receive it.
For more information visit department of human services website and search for Schoolkids Bonus.
Flood levy THE Government introduced a flood levy for the 2011-12 year only, to assist flood affected communities to rebuild essential infrastructure. The flood levy applies if your taxable income is greater than $50,000 and you do not fit into one of the exemption categories. If you are liable to pay the flood levy, the ATO will work out the amount of levy and show it on your notice of assessment. This year the ATO also has some new and improved online tools to help you stay on top of your tax and superannuation.
CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
Dependent Spouse Tax Offset THERE have been changes to the eligibility criteria for claiming the dependent spouse tax offset. If your spouse was born on or after July 1, 1971, you can no longer claim a dependent spouse offset. However, taxpayers who maintain an invalid or permanently disabled spouse, support a carer or who are eligible for the zone, overseas forces or the overseas civilian tax offsets are exempt from the new age limit and will still be able to claim the value of the dependent spouse tax offset via an expanded invalid spouse, zone, overseas forces or overseas civilian offset.

ITH home loan interest rates currently very competitive, many home owners will be wondering whether to refinance or switch lenders. While it is an opportune time to do so, receiving the best advice about what you can and can’t do with you loan is essential. Robin Foley Mortgage Brokers can help you remortgage, consider debt consolidation or find the suitable loan so you can own a home. “I don’t work for the banks, I only work in the best interests of the borrower or customer,� Mrs Foley said. By calling into Mrs Foley’s home based business in Berri, she can help home buyers choose the most competitive interest rate from a large range of reputable lenders that are available. When dealing with home or car loans, Mrs Foley does not just look at interest rates but she assesses other costs, including expenses such as annual fees. “Upon assessment of the borrower’s situation they may be better off adjusting their existing loan by changing to a different package in the same bank,� she said. “If that is the case, I can arrange that.
“People who are wanting to reduce their power and water costs could be considering installing solar panels, an irrigation system or extra insulation. “I can help them look at a loan increase such as borrowing off their equity. “This is better than taking out a personal loan or credit card.� Mrs Foley is a fully licenced and qualified credit advisor and is a member of the Mortgage Finance Association of Australia. The local business can also provide services such as residential and investment loans, self-managed super fund loans, equipment finance and much more. Mrs Foley said she can also help with equipment finance with the Federal Government announcing tax and depreciation incentives in the recent Budget. “It may be an opportune time for business owners to purchase or replace their equipment or vehicles,� she said. With the current economy, many people are also concerned about their superannuation fund losing value due to the share market fluctuations. “A person can have their own self-managed super fund, this may suit people who want to be in control of their own super,� Mrs Foley said. The Government now al-
lows people who have a selfmanaged super fund to borrow and purchase investment properties within their fund. “I have several lenders who are keen to fund this type of loan,� Mrs Foley said. It is important that people with large debt also seek advice, according to Mrs Foley. “People who have excessive debt have got no reason to be embarrassed about coming to see me and talking about it,� she said. “We can see what other options are available to them to prevent default on their credit report.� Mrs Foley enjoys making the customer happy, so they go away satisfied. “It is very rewarding when you get the approval for someone to get into their own home because I know how special that experience is,� she said. Mrs Foley is also very community minded being a member of the Berri District Business Association, involved in planning the new entity Business Riverland Inc, president of the Berri Rotary Club, chair of the Berri Town Beautification Committee and a member of the Regional Development Australia Riverland and Murraylands Board. To speak to a trusted and reliable broker, contact Robin Foley today on 0403 119 650.

RIVERLAND INDEPENDENTS - ROUND TEN THE OTHER GAMES
MATCH OF THE ROUND one week with a groin injury, while the team is hopeful Troy Harrison will return. For Brown’s Well, Digby McNeil is an inclusion, as is Andrew Schultz, Scott Hyde and Jake Singh with Kane Thiele not playing. The Bombers got great use out of ruckman Matt Hampel against Wunkar and that could be an advantage with Dave Grenfell and Tom Smith swapping in the ruck for Lyrup, giving up several centimetres in height to Hampel. Lions defender Brad Healy, who kept Jason Berger to one goal last round, is likely to attempt a shut down role on Geordie Franks. Both teams have some promising youngsters with Troy Braun and
Lyrup v Brown’s Well AFTER a slow start to the season, Lyrup has a genuine chance of securing a top four position. However, the Lions must beat Brown’s Well this round with Cobdogla, Paringa and Ramco all tough opponents in the following fixtures. The timely return of premiership captain Jason Marr from Pinnaroo will certainly contribute towards the Lions’ objective to play finals football. A 10 goal third quarter against East Murray gave Lyrup the advantage last round, while Brown’s Well managed its first win of the season over Wunkar. Simon Sumner will miss at least
Hamish Sanford performing well for the Bombers and Bradley Cook and Dylan Johnson for the Lions. Brown’s Well coach Lance Degenhardt said he hopes last week’s performance inspires the team. “If we put in a repeat performance of the first game against them, we’ve got every opportunity to beat them,� he said. For Lyrup coach Shane Healy, being in the top four has given his charges confidence. “It’s definitely a plus to be in the top four and hopefully we can have a shot at some of the top teams,� he said. This match should be very close with Lyrup breaking away in the last quarter for a four goal win.
THE OTHER GAMES Jarrod Munn broke a collarbone and will be out indefinitely. On the positives, the Warriors expect several players to return this round including Todd Griffin, Chris Cooper, Ash and Russell Boatswain, Blair Dillon and Nathan Klingberg. The club is also hopeful of clearing two new players with Matthew Crisp, from Two Wells, likely to provide a physical contest. The team that loses this encounter may kiss the season goodbye. There is some promising matchups with Matt Raison and Chris Rudiger in the ruck, Kenneth Dixon on Kenny Wright in the middle and
Moorook-Kingston v East Murray TWO games behind a position in the top four, East Murray must beat Moorook-Kingston this round. The injury ravaged Warriors, with the worst percentage in the competition, will be hoping to be competitive. The Tigers have not won since round two and are desperate for a win. Moorook-Kingston has a long injury list in a squad with lacking depth.
BLANCHETOWN/Swan Reach showed it is the team to beat this season after taking outright spot on the ladder with a win over Paringa. However, the Redbacks face a young Cobdogla team that has shown it can perform against the better teams. The Eagles will not get the services of Darell Tilbrook, while Danny Kassulke and Deane Michell are out. Luke Wegener is also in doubt after pulling up sore. Dylan Clarke will return. Greg Sobey may be out with a bruised shoulder for the Redbacks. BSR has a prominent midfield with Zac Walker likely to play on Troy Cowland, Anthony Thompson on Dale Payne and Kyle Coleman to curb the influcence of Max Martinson up forward. BSR coach Peter Zadow said he will approach the game “cautiously�. Cobdogla coach Brad Gillespie said it will be a tough task for his team. “If we could push them and know we made them earn it, I’d be happy with that,� he said. The Redbacks have been outstanding and should win this contest by more than six goals.
WITH Shane Schulz back in the team, Wunkar can stretch Paringa’s defence this round. The Bulldogs lost to Brown’s Well last weekend, while Paringa were defeated by BSR. However, the inclusion of several players including Jack Bobilak and the transfer of Kyle Worsfold has boosted the Bulldog list. Wunkar produces its run from half back with Jordan Hentschke, Daniel Evans and Harley Bennell all rotating in the back half. Paringa needs service from Dean Hill who has had a quiet patch over the past month. Unfortunately exciting forward Ryan White has broken his leg but Nathan Rover and Wayne Priest, returning from Pinnaroo, will be back in the team. Paringa coach Arrod Westley said his team needs to get back to kicking big scores. “It’s a chance for us to really turn things around from last week,� he said. Paringa should win by 10 plus goals.

Brett Smith on Jason Berger. After recently booting nine goals in a match, Joe Abdulla has now become an importnat part of the Moorook-Kingston defence. Warrior coach Cecil Rigney said the club may also not have Rusell Boatswain much longer due to work commitments. Rigney is hoping of turning the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunes around this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I can get a couple of bigger bodies in this week, we can match them up well,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SITTING comfortably in second place, Karoonda will not want to show any complacency against lowly ranked Peake. The Magpies easily accounted for Murrayville last round, while the Saints were more than disappointing in a 96 point loss to Pinnaroo. Luke Hocking has been
missed at Karoonda and his inclusion, along with Brodie Chinner adds more depth. Unfortunately the team is likely to be without Mark Corrie. Peake has really lacked scoring options with much reliance on Jeffrey Lines, who may seek the attention of Andrew Smithson. The Lions need a win to keep in touch with the top four. Injury has plagued Pat-

GAME TWO
Lameroo v Pinnaroo AN unexpected mauling of Peake last round would have to give Pinnaroo some confidence going into this encounter with Lameroo. After losing seven matches in a row, the Supa Roos are now just one victory away from finals contention. On the other hand, Lameroo will be hoping to keep in touch with the top
two after a big loss to BDT. The Hawks are hopful Billy McNeilly will return from injury, while Vaughan Noonan will spend more time on the sidelines. The contest between the in-form Chad Nickolls and Kym Benham in the ruck should be one to watch. David Philbey may get the job on Ryan Nickolls, who has been in good touch up forward. Pinnaroo recruit Tyron Bennetts, who booted six goals last round, has been
a premier midfielder with Andrew Purchase, Shaun Walker or Josh Keller likely to shut him down. After 22 consecutive losses, it was a sigh of relief for Pinnaroo fans to finally get a win on the board last round. The Supa Roos will lose Thomas Keogh who is returning to West Adelaide, while Athony Lippis is still trying to regain fitness. Pinnaroo will put up a good fight this round but Lameroo is the better of the two teams.

rick Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season and the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best players consist of a defence including Bryce Jaensch, Rick Berling and Sam Patterson. Gun Karoonda onballer Corey Knight could matchup on Travis Carling and Zakk Bullard could run with Lachlan Wilson in an exciting encounter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make or break for Peake, so it will be desperate but Karoonda is simply too strong across the field.
WITH fourth position on the line, Murrayville will be hoping to restrict the scoring when it travels to Coonalpyn against Border Downs Tintinara. The Crows are without key forwards Ty McKenna and Kevin Kock but do not appear to be having too many problems scoring with Shane Binns booting
nine majors last round. Hayden Schilling has been really impressive in the ruck and will compete with Murrayvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Todd Jones. Having Patrick Barrett back from West Adelaide at the moment adds to BDTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midfield which already boasts Josh Keller, Josh and Clint Richardson, Jarran Crabb and Jarred Brock. Despite not kicking high scores, Daniel Fry has been
a stand out up forward for Murrayville and Chris Gregory or Lee Slape will be next to him all day. Michael Worsman may be forced to run with Barrett or Keller, while left footer Nick Rees could also feature. Nick Noblett will need to stop Binns from scoring. BDT are the powerhouse of Mallee football and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to see when the Crows will lose their next game

? Did you know..?
RIVERLAND FOOTBALL LEAGUE - ROUND EIGHT MATCH OF THE ROUND come into the team. Craig (elbow) and Matt (knee) Underwood are both still sidelined. Ben Venning booted five goals last round and Berri will need to stop his strong presence on the ground and is likely to do so through reliable defender Steven Raeder. Craig Miller has also been good in the ruck for the Magpies and he should be given a big challenge against recruit Aaron Gepp. Adam Beauchamp, who has been quiet in recent weeks, may check Damian Stevens. Berri coach Alby Brand admits he cannot cover the loss of Harwood and Porter but he said there is plenty of depth coming through the reserves. “It’s pretty hard to cover the quality there,” he said. “We really need to work hard on what we’ve got. “As I said to the group after the game (against Barmera-Monash), this is what footy is all about, a test of character.” Waikerie co-coach Craig Griffiths said he will be wary of Berri, who need to bounce back. “Like all other teams, we are looking to go into the bye with a win,” he said. Berri should be competitive but Waikerie has too much talent and will record a five goal victory.
Waikerie v Berri WITH just percentage separating the two teams, a win for either Waikerie or Berri will give it the advantage towards the double chance. Waikerie has really slipped under the radar with a lot of focus on Barmera-Monash and Berri in recent weeks. This Magpie team is classy, skilful and can match it with the best in the competition. Berri will need to bring its top game this weekend as it travels to Magpie territory. Both teams have injury worries but the Demons will struggle to replace Kirk Harwood, who injured his knee on Saturday and Ryan Porter with an ankle problem. The club is hopeful both are short term injuries. David Hankin also reportedly pulled up sore from last round but we believe he will play. Injury replacement for the Demons could come via in-form B graders Daniel Brown and Bradley Dolling. It is understood forward Martin Barber will also return to the field early next month following injury. The Magpies lose Matt Butcher but Tom Eldridge and Daniel Smith
AS Renmark coach Brett Blackwell puts it, it is “do or die for the season” this round against Loxton North. The Rovers are battling with just one win and a victory to the Panthers will give them a two game lead in the four. Renmark retains Drew Gallard and potentially James Bentley, while Reece Glazbrook will not play. Jamie Ferguson has been a shining light for Loxton North and he may be tagged by Brodie Redpath, who kept Waikerie’s Michael Bratton quiet last round. Despite having a tall, strong marking forward line, Renmark is ranked last in attack. “What powerful forwards are kicking goals this year?” Renmark coach Brett Blackwell said. “It’s more the small forwards. “We are improving but we are a very unclucky team.” Renmark has shown enough to beat Loxton North and should do so by two goals.

AFTER a heartbreaking one point loss in the annual Proud Cup against Loxton North, Loxton will be hoping to be more than competitive against league leaders BarmeraMonash this weekend. The Roos made easy work of Berri and affirmed itself as the premiership favourite. Loxton is likely to go into the match with a similar team to last round, while Barmera-Monash will see some familiar faces into this week’s team in Justin Bonney, Jake Schwertfeger and Robert Price. Chris Bonney returns to West Adelaide. While on paper this match is a top versus bottom affair, the Tigers have strength across the ground to make this game competitive at the very least. The midfield is finally settled with Brett Manuel, Wade Pritchard, Brock Birkin, Josh Norman and Michale Kirk rotating. With a solid midfield, it means Jamahl Liddle has gone back into the forward line and Leigh Kruger and Nick Uren can play off half back. Raph Liddle has been in good form and he is likely to play on Barmera-Monash’s in-

form forward Murray Middleton. Both are similar in height and quick across the ground, so it should be an even contest. Jake Smith has provided plenty of run for the Roos and should watch Kruger, while Jamahl Liddle will have his work cut out against Dillon Millard. Barmera-Monash coach Lyndon Burns said he is content with top position but he is taking it week by week. “We’re sitting all right but there is still a long way to go,” he said. “I’ll be really letting the boys know that last time we played Loxton they had six or seven blokes out. “We’ll be going in with respect for them.” Burns said he may also decide to promote some of the under 18s with Callum Buchecker and Danyl Drabsch playing well. Loxton coach Mick Zerna said he is happy with the improvement of his team. “They know they can play good footy,” he said. “We’ve just got to go in thinking we can do our very best.” The Roos are really in cruise mode but want to be careful not to lose momentum. They will win this clash by 12 goals.

Crows roll into town CHILDREN from across the Riverland were given the chance to train with their idols on Tuesday as part of a country coaching clinic with the Adelaide Crows. Taylor Walker, Bernie Vince, Will Young and Nick Joyce conducted an invite only session at the Berri Oval, interacting with the local students and passing on their football knowledge. Joyce said the support from country towns is very important. “Being a country boy myself, I know how much the kids and parents appreciate the players coming down and spending time teaching them and coaching them through some basic football skills,” he said. “It’s great knowing that all the country towns are behind the Crows and supporting us and watching us on television
as much as possible and wearing the guernsey.” The Riverland participants in the training session at Berri were all enthusiastic, according to Joyce. “We hadn’t even started and already the kids were just diving round after the footy and having fun,” he said. “There’s more guernseys here than I’ve seen in a lot of other country towns, so it’s fantastic to see the support out here.” With the likes of Crows’ legends Mark Ricciuto and Tony Modra hailing from the Riverland, Joyce said it is something that is spoken about. “As we were driving up here I mentioned we were heading into ‘Roo territory’ so there was a bit of talk about past players that have come from the Riverland,” Joyce said.

RFL B GRADE The Roos should win this contest at home. Berri has a huge task ahead taking on top side Waikerie. The Magpies are yet to lose but the Demons will be confident. While Berri may lose a few players due to A grade injuries, David Centofanti, Rory Correll and Daniel Brown have been consistent performers. Waikerie has so many ball winners including Ben Chidlow, Michael Beelitz and Steve Leibich to name a few and should win comfortably. Bottom placed Renmark travels to Loxtom North where it will be looking to climb the ladder. Paul Burne and Aaron Gill will lead the way for the Rovers, while the return of Steve Inglis for the Panthers is a major factor. We are picking Renmark to win - just.

IN what could possibly be one of the most even B grade competitions for some years, it appears anything could happen. Last round Loxton upset Loxton North and Berri knocked off Barmera-Monash. Coming into round nine, Loxton travels Lakeside to take on Barmera-Monash in what will be an exciting match. Bronte Manuel returned to football on Saturday and was superb in the reserves, although it is unknown how often he will be available. Interestingly, coach Russ Charles has also donned the boots again. Matt Benson has been a focal point up forward, while Grant Dahlitz always works hard. The Roos have been led by captain Dave Whitebourne and the likes of Nick Kuhn (if available), Jordan Roissetter, Zak Butterworth and Andrew Svensden.

Renmark’s fast start
Swinstead wins open ■ BARMERA Golf Club held its annual Open Championship last weekend with Will Swinstead, on his home course, producing rounds of 79, 83 (162) to win by four shots from Mick Healy with 81, 85 (166). The handicap winner was Dennis Hodgson on a countback from Barmera club mate Mark Evans (both on 151), while the B grade title was won by Neville McPherson with 87, 85 (172) from Ron McBride on 91, 85 (176). The C grade was won by Shane Smith with scores of 93, 95 (188) from Dallas Zeliff with 96, 96 (192). Tracey McHugh carded rounds of 93, 97 (190) to win the ladies competition ahead of Julie Turner with 100, 93 (193). The handicap winner was Lorraine Bond. Meanwhile, at Waikerie last Thursday, Sandy Schultz, with 33 points, took out the grade one title, while grade two went to Elaine Kratopoulos, 38 points. Kath Watkins scorched the number three and six holes for birdies. Saturday’s stableford saw Derek Greenfield, with 39 points, successful in division one and Kym Lehmann, 38 points, in division two. During the last week at Berri, Neville Wait, with 38 points, won a Wednesday stableford by one shot from Alan Dand. Derek Howes took the honours on Saturday with 34 points and on Sunday Ryan Dale won with 36 points from Ron Nagy on 35.
■ LOXTON North follows a 58-44 loss to Loxton in the annual Obst-Warneke Cup clash by running into undefeated top side Renmark tomorrow night in A1 netball. North had stalwart duo Kylie Wooldridge and Karina Tschirpig back in its line-up to support its young teenage talent against Loxton but whichever way you look at it, running into Renmark, refreshed after a bye, will present a huge challenge. Renmark coach Ann Noack was scratching her head early in the season trying to rebuild a 2011 premiership combination decimated by injury and unavailability but it now seems any concern she has
will surround how to fit the talent available in the line-up. Friday night’s other game is another meeting between teams from the top and bottom sections of the ladder with Loxton entitled to travel to Barmera in a confident mood. Loxton seems to have extended its group of contributors in recent outings with Eve Will and Amber and Skye George prominent after Hollie Bullock, Jackie Dahlitz and Alysha Proud showed the way early. Barmera will therefore need everyone contributing. Cobie Drogemuller and Sheri Beech were outstanding for the second game
on end against Berri last week, so if Mackella Armfield, Sue Whitbourne, Meg Gillespie and company can really get into the act, this clash could be closer than positions on the table indicate. Berri will go into the bye with its label as the greatest threat to the top two sides intact after a 4534 win against Barmera. It achieved the victory in the absence of young dynamo Ellee Eleftheriadis but with Tegan Moldovan, Nicole Hall and Taylee Howard continuing their consistent form of 2012. In last weekend’s Independent competition, the closest A grade game saw Brown’s Well, with Jayne Brown and Hayley Reich-
stein starring, defeat Wunkar which was best served by Wendy Owen and Jo Schutz, 40-35. BSR, with Jen Steer and Jo Schmidt named best, matched the efforts of its dominant football side by defeating Paringa 46-32, while Ramco (Jess Walding, Ainsley Irving) accounted for Cobdogla (Hayley Kruger, Chantelle Sharkey) 35-21. In B grade, Brown’s Well completed a winning double against Wunkar, 59-22, with Natasha Boxall and Emily Nitschke and Lauren Brown and Jess Hucks the respective best players for each team, while Paringa won against BSR (Abbey Davies, Lucy Martinson) 34-26.

Berri River Rangers bounce back from previous outing to destroy defending champion ■ BERRI River Rangers reacted strongly to the untidy and wasteful outing against Renmark Olympic to destroy defending champion Barmera United 8-2 in Sunday’s round of A grade men’s soccer at Loxton. The man to head the Rangers’ scoring with four in the net was the veteran that had masterminded that draw against Renmark, Paul Eleftheriadis, while other better players included Dale Harwood and Russell Frankel.
Kosta Zois and Nathan Hamood were best for Barmera. In the other game, Renmark (Josh Tsorotiotis, James Wallace and Kyle Collinson with two goals) won a competitive contest against Loxton (Stan Antonopoulos, Joe Perre) 3-1. There were some exciting contests in other senior grades with Barmera and Renmark finishing 1-1 in men’s B grade and Barmera (Amalia Alvanos, Angelina Hambi) also 2-2 against Berri (Ebony Hoffmann,
Amanda Exarheas) in the women’s competition. A quality contest in under 16 division resulted in Berri (Peter Karagiannis, Dylan Eleftheriadis) just edging out Barmera (Locky Morrison, Brock Van der Biezen) 6-4. In the under 14 competition, Renmark No. 1 accounted for Renmark No. 2 2-1. McKenzie Bristow, Mitchell Thomas and Kallan Head starred in the game. This Sunday’s matches are being held at Barmera.

The number of goals Waikerie upset Renmark by in local hockey last Friday night.
Big enduro expected ■ BROWSING for some detail on the annual Waikerie-Riverland Off Road Association’s Hi-tech Oils Riverland 300 to be held on the weekend of June 30 to July 1, the most descriptive word I found was 'great'. To quote, "great event, great spectator viewing, great food, lots of great camping room and great facilities”. It is no surprise then that the event, which is expected to involve up to 80 vehicles across the various classes this year, draws huge crowds. But on this occasion there will obviously be an added attraction. Word has it that an increased number of vehicles will enter the Extreme 2WD

Again in 2012, organisers of the weekend will continue to bring the cars to the people with scrutineering and a display at the Waikerie Oval on the Friday night from 4 to 8 pm. On Saturday, the prologue over a six kilometre course will start at 12.30pm followed by promotional rides and a hot lap from 3pm and a Top Ten Shoot Out at 3.30pm. Sunday’s main event, which incorporates SAORRA’s round three of its championships and round four of the Multi Club series, starts at 9am over a a 75 kilometre course.

Lange sits second ■ FOLLOWING round three of the State Motocross championships held at Crystal Brook last weekend, Loxton’s Tyler Lange is sitting in second position outright, 18 points behind the leader in the 250cc Junior class. Tyler won the class at Crystal Brook and is now working towards overtaking the leader in the final round of the competition at Murray Bridge on Saturday and Sunday, August 4 and 5. In the meantime, he is currently the class leader on the Eyre Peninsula circuit and will attend meetings at both Kimba and Port Lincoln prior to the Murray Bridge event. A number of Riverland club members competed at Crystal Brook with other prominent performances including Coby Rollbusch finishing third in
85/150cc Big Wheel and Jack Stauton finishing fourth in 65cc class. It is sometimes easy to overlook the effort some of these youngsters put into their chosen sport. For example, apart from practising with his bike at every opportunity, Tyler regularly attends the Phillip Goodes Gym at Loxton to work on his general fitness.
■ QUICK: Local Jack Staunton put in a good effort in Crystall Brook.
Waikerie puts teams on notice with upset victories ■ THE Waikerie Hockey Club made all opposition A grade teams sit up and take notice when it scored two surprising victories over Renmark at Glassey Park last Friday night. Surprising in the men’s clash because of the size of the win, 7-1, and in the women’s because of the clinical way Waikerie won 2-0 against hot favourite Renmark for the first time in something like six seasons. With all of this weekend’s matches at Glassey Park, the Waikerie men will go into the early 5pm game confident against Berri on Saturday with players like Jason Redemski, Brenton Kroehn, young Caleb Catford and Shaun Pick in superb form. Former local and Premier
League player Patrick Sutherland also returned to boost the side against Renmark. At 6.30pm the Waikerie women, now boasting an impressive depth of talent headed by Kristen Pick, Carlye Waye and Amelia Harkness, should make it another winning double. Last Saturday against Loxton, Berri lost both matches but had Jason Bowers, Scott Moldovan and Dylan Couzner in the men’s game keeping the 2011 premier honest for a 2-0 scoreline. Jane Hustley, Emma Burge, Sarah Oldfield and Kristen Hibberd again ensured the women’s team also remained competitive despite going down 5-0. For Renmark, this Friday night
against Loxton (the men at 7pm and women at 8.30pm) will be very much about righting the ship and regaining some confidence. The men’s team badly missed new playing coach Brett Stokes last week as it really lacks senior members and is relying heavily on the many promising juniors coming through the system. I asked Brett about his reported absence through injury. “No that was not the case,” he replied. “Just before the game I realised that I had 17 players to pick from so I decided to stay on the sidelines and give the youngsters the chance to play. “Remember I was appointed by Renmark to look to the future with sustainability and structure the aim
rather than instant success and Friday night was part of that policy. “It is about the players learning and I am sure they benefitted from the experience of playing against a quality Waikerie side.” Stokes is also resisting the temptation to bring players from Adelaide to compliment his young squad. “I am sure that with my contacts I could get three or four good players to travel up but that is not part of the strategy,” he said. On the other hand, the Loxton men were without some of their big guns last week and it is definitely one of the teams effected week to week by player availability. However players like Ty Othams, Chris Allister and Jeremy Hansen
stepped up against Berri to illustrate the depth of talent in the line-up. In the women’s match, Loxton has a host of contributors including Steph Baird, Trish Gillard, Tara Allister, Louise Smith, Eloise Hampel, Rachel Finnigan and Billie Jo Hammerstein in top form. Renmark went down to Waikerie in one of the biggest upsets of the season so far and it was a credit to the winning side for the manner it held off a team boasting players like Danielle Weeks, Juliet Mallinson, Sally Giles, Ally Palat, Lauren Scott and Bec Keynes. Last weekend’s form would suggest Loxton will win but of course that prediction would be ignoring the traditional rivalry between the two teams.
Adelaide Triathlon Club to hold second Murray Man event at Lake Bonney in November ■ FOLLOWING a successful inaugural event in 2011, plans for the Adelaide Triathlon Club’s second Murray Man event to be held at Barmera’s Lake Bonney on Sunday November 4 are on target, according to club president Andrew Bartlett. Speaking to him earlier this week, Bartlett said “the event is now the Berri Resort Hotel Murray Man and five months out from the day we already have some 200 entries”. “So with arrangements with the council and local organisations and volunteers coming along nicely it is all looking good. “A feature of arranging an event such as this is the co-operation and support we receive from the local
community.” The Murray Man on the Sunday involves a two kilometre swim, 80 kilometre bike ride and 20 kilometre run, while there is also a half distance event of 1km, 40km and 20km stages. But that will be only a part of a full weekend of activities at the lake. On Saturday morning, a workshop is proposed for junior and novice participants and in the afternoon, a short course triathlon is planned. Bartlett said that “we have a number of various groups involved in helping to run the weekend but would also welcome any families or individuals as volunteers as there is an abundance of
things we can put them to.” Further details can be found on www.murrayman.com.au. Talking to Bartlett, he indicated that a number of things were still going on behind the scenes that could see the Murray Man increase in profile and boost the benefits to the Riverland and to the sport in general. Meanwhile, a number of Riverland athletes have been in the news in recent weeks. Firstly at the annual Barossa Half Marathon, Barmera’s Peter Weston made his 19th appearance in the event only shortly after recuperating from major surgery. At the same time, Renmark’s Robyn Milich was extremely satis-
fied to complete her first five kilometre fun run but experienced triathlete Ruth Strout did not fare so well when she strained a calf muscle and was forced to take a few weeks off to recover. “I probably dodged a bullet,” she said. “At first I thought I had suffered a tear.” Announcements at the Triathlon SA Presentation Night in Adelaide that followed would have cheered Strout up a bit though because she took out the State Aquathon, State Olympic Distance and State Series awards for her age group. Another to be acknowledged at the function was promising young Loxton athlete Jacob Otto who re-
Sixteen-year-old Goodes notches up another victory in the boxing ring ■ THE Riverland Boxing and Fitness Club had boxers return to the ring at a tournament at West Adelaide Football Club last weekend after a long layoff. Speaking to manager/head coach Phillip Goodes on Monday morning, he said that his team was just returning for training but three members had been anxious for fights and had entered in this 20 bout tournament, the third of the season, in front of a capacity crowd of some 400 people. Ryan Goodes, 16, scored a good win on points 10-3 against senior fighter Kevin Taylor, of Adelaide, a former state title holder who is on the comeback trail, in a light welter weight contest. “This was a good first up win,” Phillip said. “Ryan had only had minimum training and one spar but was anxious for the fight after about six months out of the ring.” Ryan is currently at around 62 kilograms but is working towards 60 kilograms as Phillip pursues arrangements to have the promising youngster join a team from interstate for a trip to Eng-
land later in the year where he would gain three international bouts. The other boxer from the Loxton Gym to engage in a competitive fight was in fact a backpacker from France. Remi Droux has been attending the gym on and off for the past six months or so but recently advised Goodes that before he returned home later in 2012 he was keen for some actual bouts. “Remi must have been in a bit of a hurry,” Phillip said. “Both he and his opponent, Adelaide’s Ashley Agars, were on debut but Remi finished the middleweight clash in 40 seconds. “However, he did have his own personal cheer squad. “A busload from the Kingston-OnMurray backpackers travelled down to support him and boy were they vocal.” Barossa’s Uschi Artym, who contemplated retirement at one stage, was the other boxer to appear and took part in an excellent exhibition match to open the program against Victorian Samantha Rogers. There can be no doubt about Uschi’s enthusiasm for the sport be-
cause she climbed out of the ring and immediately turned her attention to judging. Phillip Goodes is set for a very busy season with his commitment to the Australian team at the London Olympics but he is still enthusiastic about the local scene with Mathew and Bradley Wilson and the Bobbin brothers from Mildura also still listed on the boxing team and expected to train shortly. Phillip is also high in his praise for the efforts of Tammy Hansen who arrived at the Boxing and Fitness Centre about six months ago and is doing an excellent job in assisting with the coaching. “With my workload and other commitments, Tammy’s appearance has been very welcome,” he said. “Not only is she handling the training and exercise sessions but a number of ladies have been interested in using her for general fitness reasons as well.” For further enquiries telephone Phillip on 0419833369.

More recently Jacob won the ‘Mallee 12’, a twelve Kilometre run against a strong field at Mildura but word has it that when it comes to family profile right now he may well be in the shadow of his dad, Malcolm. Nothing to do with athletics I am told but apparently Otto senior has donned a knights helmet to feature in a television advertisement that promotes a variety of potato.
