A GROWING number of homeless people in the Riverland may be granted access to suitable short term accommodation in Berri in a bid to reduce the risk of illegal camping in the community.
Figures reveal that in the past 12 months more than 440 homeless people have presented to ac.care. Berri Barmera Combined Churches Welfare chair Pastor Tim Klein said providing a particular area for homeless people could help manage and maintain contact.
Concerns were raised this month by the Berri Barmera Council regarding the use of fire and litter at the Rodeo Grounds in Berri, as a result of people camping nearby. However, at a meeting this month between Berri Barmera Council staff, Pastor Tim Klein
and representatives from ac.care, Life Without Barriers, Salvation Army and OARS, the Rodeo Grounds were discussed as a potential option for short term accommodation for the homeless. n Continued Page 2 OutsourceMyMarketing.com.au #14942

Accommodation for homeless needed as numbers rise
Search for new management
EDITORIAL BY
BRAD PERRY
Helping the homeless I MUST admit I was quite shocked when reading figures showing that the Riverland had 445 homeless people seeking help over the past 12 months. That it is a large number of people who have nowhere to go at night. With winter here and the conditions outside getting colder, I cannot imagine how people cope without the comfort of being able to sleep in a nice warm bed. The Berri Barmera Council is currently looking into establishing a short term accommodation area for homeless people. I applaud this idea, as I’m sure the other welfare groups in the area do. While there are many different circumstances which are the reasons why people become homeless, you cannot help but feel for these people. That is why the community must back the council’s idea and help those who are less fortunate during a time in their life when they need assistance more than ever.
Barmera clubs denied IT is still hard to understand why worthwhile projects such as the Barmera Country Club and Barmera Golf Club’s major upgrades do not even get a look in with the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund.

THE Barmera Recreation Centre may not have new management for “a number of months� with the YMCA agreement expiring tomorrow. While council has been working on long term arrangements for the facility, a decision on final agreements have been delayed. Berri Barmera Council community development officer Andrew Haigh said so current users can access the
facility without interruption, short term licence agreements will be established. These short term licences will run from July 2 until October 31, this year and will be offered to selected local sporting clubs, fitness groups and other groups seeking to hire the facility. “We’re still working really hard to ensure there’s solutions for every user group or activity that operates out of there,� Mr Haigh said.
“The main fact is the YMCA will not be operating from there from the end of June and we’ve still got a little bit of work to do to finalise agreements with various organisations to ensure they continue after that date. “We have contingencies in place for individual users groups that we are hoping to have some form of agreement for them to access the recreation centre as of that July time.�

Seeking answers over missing cats RENMARK woman Pam Glekas fears her two cats may have been stolen. After reading last week’s Riverland Weekly article titled Pets go missing, Mrs Glekas said she believes her cats may have become part of the animal thefts. “I’ve had cats all my life and I’ve never had them go wandering,� she said. “They would always come back, several times a

day they would keep coming back and then just this one day I didn’t see them again. “It was just strange one day they were both gone at the same time.� While Mrs Glekas has searched the surrounding neighbourhood extensively, the cats which went missing two and a half months ago are nowhere to be seen.
Mrs Glekas said she is more than careful with her pets. “Our side gate is always locked, so is the back gate, that’s padlocked as well,� she said. Last week, animal activist Martina Roberts said she has had several reports of animals in the Riverland disappearing and she believes they are being taken to breed and then on-sell.

“There are people right out on the fringe who just don’t fit in at other places like the caravan park or Martins Bend and other similar places around the Riverland,� Pastor Klein said. “The Rodeo Grounds is recognised as a designated area that has some basic amenities available. “It offers a defined space and it’s close to Centrelink, it’s close to town and other care agencies. “For some people, our hope would be it is a stepping stone to a better connection or a more longer term connection, maybe even that they can be placed in homes.� Pastor Klein said the issue of homelessness is one the region must embrace as numbers are growing for a variety of reasons. “I think homeless people, sadly, in this day and age will always be with us for all sorts of reasons, some of them are by reasons of addiction, behavioural issues, also some people are homeless because of mental illness,� he said. “As things develop and things improve and if you are on the list for a house, we know where you are and you know where we are. “It is a much more workable kind of scenario.� Berri Barmera Council will continue to discuss the potential of providing a suitable site to accommodate people in need of short term accommodation for better management and to provide greater community safety.

Barmera overlooked To be honest, we were a bit disappointed to be told not to even apply.
■ GOLF: Barmera Golf Club president Neville McPherson and Barmera Country Club’s Alan Ness will push forward with major projects despite no government assistance.
By BRAD PERRY THE Barmera Country Club and Barmera Golf Club will go ahead with proposed major upgrades despite being denied the right to submit an application to the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund. As part of major upgrade plans, the Barmera Country Club put forward an expression of interest to the fund to bring its accommodation up to a four star standard with $250,000 in funding. The Barmera Golf Club also expressed interest in accessing the fund with a $260,000 submission for work to upgrade its function room. However, both projects failed to pass the expressions of interest phase to access the fund. While the Country Club and golf club will still go ahead with their projects, accessing the fund would have pushed them forward by a number of years. “From our point of view it seemed like it was a very viable, worthwhile thing but it is somewhat disappointing to be told that our applications would not be studied in detail,” Barmera
Country Club proprietor Alan Ness said. Mr Ness said the business had matching funding and the figures for the proposal show that wages alone earned from the increased operation would equate to the amount of the initial fund input after three years. The Country Club decided to apply to the Futures Fund after a push from SA Tourism in the region to bring accommodation to a higher standard. “They are looking to make a bigger splash with four star rooms in the area for the attraction and satisfaction of the clients that they are aware require that sort of level of accommodation,” he said. “To be honest, we were a bit disappointed to be told not to even apply. “What’s disappointing is you can’t actually put an application in to see whether it is worthwhile.” Mr Ness said with the golf club’s plans, both businesses can work together as a prime destination for weddings. Barmera Golf Club president Neville McPherson said a modern function centre at the club
would be a major boost for the community and the town. “We were going to upgrade our premises significantly to the point that we had a function centre there where we would be able to hold wedding receptions,” he said. “There is a shortage of such places to hold 150 to 160 people, which is about the size we were looking at. “We had a situation where we could have had functions like that and we’ve got accommodation on site.” Mr McPherson said figures as part of the project show that with a moderate number of events at the new function centre, the economy would be injected by around $5 million. “We were going to create significant employment that wasn’t there previously so we just thought perhaps they should consider it,” he said. “Our plan was to get an extra income stream, even if we were making $100,000 a year extra, it would be phenomenal for this golf club and the district.” Figures tabled during a Local Government Forum meeting this month show that 73 ap-
plications to the fund has been received with 20 going onto the next stage. Regional Development Minister Gail Gago said the fund was “designed to support investment projects that drive immediate activity into the region”. “In March 2012, I announced a change to the application process and invited expressions of interest to be assessed at the same time on a competitive basis,” she said. “Those candidates who have been shortlisted have been invited to submit a full application by late June, 2012. “As at June 26, 2012, the fund has committed $9.8 million to 19 projects, generating approximately 124 jobs for the regional community with a total investment of more than $20 million.” Minister Gago said if applications do not stack up, funding will remain. “Each full application will again be assessed against criteria to ensure it can deliver sustainable economic development,” she said. “Should applications not meet the required standard, funds will be remaining.”
Loxton Waikerie’s minimal rate rise THE Loxton Waikerie Council is proposing an increase in general rates of two per cent as part of its draft 2012/13 Annual Business Plan. At a special meeting to discuss the business plan last night, Loxton Waikerie Council chief executive officer Peter Ackland said a responsible approach was taken when it came to general rates. “We would hope that people can see we are trying to be responsible about our rates,” he said. Householders using kerbside recycling, to be introduced on
January 1 next year, will also have to pay a service charge of $127 for the half yearly collection. The recycling will consist of a three bin system. Instead of putting large amounts of money into new projects, Mr Ackland said council is looking to maintain assets and access grant funding for major projects. He said council’s primary focus is to continue the maintenance effort into areas such as the sealed road network, increased mobility access for identified footpaths and the remediation of effluent ponds
and landfills within the Waikerie area. Of the major projects reliant on grant funding, stage two of the Waikerie sporting precinct upgrade is proposed to be completed, which includes a number of aspects such as the construction of a further three joint tennis/netball courts. Other new initiatives proposed for the forthcoming year include the development of the riverfronts at various locations throughout the district and bank stabilisation on the Paisley riverfront. Works are also planned for
the Moorook and KingstonOn-Murray riverfronts, including the installation of a dumping point, bank stabilisation and the installation of a new pontoon. The draft plan also proposes the replacement of the existing boat ramp and upgrading of the car park at Rilli Reserve. These riverfront developments are estimated to cost $340,000 and will be funded largely by grants. The plan is now open for public comment with meetings scheduled in both Loxton and Waikerie next month.
Mallee council’s new CEO THE Southern Mallee District Council this week announced the appointment of Anthony Renshaw as chief executive officer, taking over the role from Rod Ralph. Mayor Gordon Hancock said Tony will begin at council on July 16. “There is no gap other than the weekend between our current chief executive officer finishing up and Tony starting on the Monday,” Mr Hancock said. Tony has experience both as a country CEO within Local Government and in his current role working for a metropolitan council in Adelaide. “This appointment means that council has now filled all recent vacancies created by the resignations of the former works manager, manager for corporate services and the chief executive officer not renewing his contract,” Mr Hancock said. “I am really looking forward to our new managers working with council to achieve better outcomes for our ratepayers.”

Renmark misses out on hosting national hot air balloon event
Up in the air? RENMARK Paringa Council Mayor Neil Martinson has labelled an unsuccessful bid to host the 2013 Australian National Hot Air Balloon Championships as disappointing. Instead, council is now likely to put further resources into creating a “bigger and better” Riverland Balloon Fiesta. A New South Wales town called Canowindra will host the national event after ticking all the boxes as far as financial capacity, trained scorers and loggers and
infrastructure. Mr Martinson said council will now assess whether another event will take place next year instead. “We’ll always put our name in the mix to try and see whether we can look at it in future years,” he said. “It was disappointing and we need to work out whether we are going to replace that with some other local event.” The future of the Riverland Balloon Fiesta will also
be discussed, according to Mr Martinson. “That is something the staff will discuss then come back to council and make a decision about whether they want to continue doing that,” he said. “I’d like to think we probably could. “It’s bringing in accommodation, it’s bringing in fuel, it’s bringing in food for the people that travel and also the people that come and look at the balloons.”
n stopped: The Renmark Paringa Council was unsuccessful in its bid to host the 2013 national hot air ballooning event.

Allan Thurmer walk officially unveiled in Berri BERRI man Allan Thurmer has been recognised for his contributions to the community with a walking trail named in his honour unveiled on the weekend. The Berri Lions Club member, who is still involved today at the age of over 90, began working on the trail more than 40 years ago. Stretching from the Berri Marina to Martins Bend, the walking trail takes in some of the Riverland’s most peaceful surroundings. Mr Thurmer said he is overjoyed to finally have the trail officially open to
the community. “I was quite pleased in a way that all the work that was done is useful for the citizens of Berri,” he said. “I’ve often felt that we don’t make as much use of the river and its surroundings as we should. “The Berri Lions Club started down there in the 1970s and gradually we built all that marina with thousands of tonnes of fill and planting of grass and everything else. “We used to walk down towards Martins Bend and we realised it was a really

Mr Joyner said the two new surgeons are hoping to bring more services to the hospital. “We are constantly trying to upgrade and add to what’s constantly occurring and the two surgeons would like to increase speciality services,” he said. “We are currently looking at whether it is feasible to provide, for say, women who have breast cancer, a local treatment and assessment area to avoid women having to go to Adelaide repeatedly for those problems. “That’s in development and isn’t yet happening but we would like for that process to occur properly.”

Online tourism summit proposal A RENMARK Paringa Councillor believes a tourism summit could be the answer to helping operators adapt to changing technology in the industry. Councillor Mark Chown believes a summit involving local tourist operators could be beneficial with potentially a group application to the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund to bring them up to date with online booking facilities. “I think there has been a lot of money spent on some opportunities in the Riverland across all Riverland tourism but it would appear from some of the comments that were made that not all of our tourist operators have got access to online booking,” he said.

Cadell ferry’s five year contract THE State Government has committed to a new five year contract for the operation of the Cadell ferry. With the service set to cease on Saturday, the State Government this week announced that it would remain open. Mid Murray Council Mayor Dave Burgess, Deputy Mayor Kevin Myers, Cadell Community Tourism Association chairman Danny McGurgan and Member for Stuart Dan van Holst Pellekaan met with Transport Minister Patrick Conlon on Tuesday.
Mr Burgess said tenders will go out for a five year term for the Cadell ferry in another month. “It’s a great outcome for Cadell and the Riverland,” he said. “Minister Conlon made the commitment that all ferries will now be on the same five year span. “In the process, because some of the ferries are ageing, there will be some discussions with councils about the way forward. “It gives us four years of conversation and probably a year of sorting
out an outcome, so at least it will be done in a sensible manner.” The spirit of the Cadell community and surrounding Riverland towns was behind the State Government’s announcement to reverse the closure decision, according to Mr Burgess. “The spirit of the Cadell community was absolutely fantastic,” he said. “Without their drive I don’t think the motivation would have been there to make the government change its mind.”
Calls for dangerous dogs to be muzzled A WESTERN Australia man is recovering in hospital with serious leg injuries following an attack by a pit bull in Berri this week. Joan Atkins said her partner John Toomey decided to go for a walk while she shopped in Berri and was bitten by the dog. As a result he went into surgery to repair the damage yesterday. Ms Atkins said the incident left her shocked. “My partner had jeans on and the dog took a great big chunk out of his leg,” she said. “He didn’t even touch the dog and now to have that happen to him, we don’t know if his tendons are damaged and whether he will be able to walk properly again.” While Ms Atkins said the dog was on a lead, she believes her partner did nothing to provoke the attack. Renmark’s Wendy Polst said she was horrified to hear about her brother-in-law’s injuries from the incident. She believes dogs with a history of attacks across the Riverland should have to wear muzzles when out in public as a precautionary measure.

Funds no longer available for Riverland Clinical Education Centre TWO million dollars set aside in the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund for a project to build a Riverland Clinical Education Centre in Berri is no longer available. Regional Development Minister Gail Gago yesterday confirmed the promised funds are no longer available to the Flinders University Rural Clinical School for the project. “The commitment of $2 million to Flinders University was dependent upon the university securing funding from the Commonwealth, which did not occur,” she said. In May, the $24 million project was unsuccessful in accessing money the Federal Government’s health and hospitals fund. Flinders University Rural Clinical
School director professor Jennene Greenhill she the project is for the long term benefit of the Riverland. “It’s vital for the region to have health professionals and to grow our own and I am disappointed that ($2 million) funding was cut,” she said. “I understand there are lots of other priorities and it is important to spend that money on regional development but I don’t think that there is a lot of that Riverland Futures Funding that is going into health professional development. “I think it is more about diversification of other businesses and I think it’s important for the region to have a much more long term sustainability. “We have had very lean times with doctors over the years, at
the moment it is quite good, but there is nothing that is a sure thing unless we are providing education opportunities for the clinician and the students.” Ms Greenhill said the project will still go ahead but will be dependent on future funding being available. “That project, or a similar project, will adapt to meet needs of available funding,” she said. “We are in a good position and I know that the State and Federal Government know we are doing extremely good stuff. “We are one of the leaders in this kind of area in rural health education but it is just really hard at the moment to be able to somehow attract money into the region for what we do.”

Giving locals a second chance RIVERLANDERS who did not finish high school will be given a second chance to advance to higher education as part of a joint venture by TAFE SA and Flinders University. The foundation studies program has been running for 29 years but this year is covering a wider scope to include regional areas such as the Riverland. Foundation studies co-ordinator Doctor Michael Savvas recently conducted two information sessions at the Flinders Rural Clinical School in Renmark on the program. “Basically it’s a bridging program for people who haven’t studied at uni before who want to get into uni next year,” he said. “We can teach them academic skills and referencing and how to read critically, how to write an academic essay, how to do numeracy and things like that.
“I think it’s really important to open people’s options.” He said most of the course is done via video conference, meaning Riverlanders do not have to continue going back and forth to Adelaide. “It’s just giving everyone the opportunity to study if they want to,” Dr Savvas said. Many of the students who have completed the course have gone on to do law, nursing and midwifery, according to Dr Savvas. “A lot of the people we find do the course and don’t know whether they should be at uni or could be at uni, so they get used to what it’s about,” he said. “In some cases they drop out because it’s just not for them, which is fine and with other cases they realise that if they persist they can actually do it and suddenly they’ve got options.” The program begins on July 10.

Caravan park owners oppose Barmera RV Park proposal By BEN HAMMOND THE Cobdogla Station Caravan Park owners have raised concerns about a proposal to build a free Recreational Vehicle park (RV) in Barmera. The Barmera Lions Club has been campaigning for an RV park to be introduced at Bruce Oval in Barmera for months. Barmera Lions Club vice president Peter Marks said he is hopeful an RV park may open by Christmas. “Barmera needs an RV park to support the businesses of the town of Barmera and to capture the travellers who have recreational vehicles that do not wish to stay at caravan parks,” he said. Mr Marks said the Berri Barmera Council has so far supported the idea for an RV park. “At this stage it needs to go through formal approval and budgeting,” Mr Marks said. “The area that we are looking at is off the main oval at Bruce Oval. “It adjoins the western fence by the men’s shed and all that would need to be done initially would be to install a dump point but at this stage the existing sewage system will need to be assessed and decided whether it can cope with that or not.” Cobdogla Station Caravan park owners Bob Lamont and Cindy Black are against the RV facility. In a letter to council, they stated that if a free RV park is put in Barmera, then tourists will not stay anywhere else if they can stay somewhere for free. ”They are not going to spend money if they don’t have to and they are not going to spend the money that they save on cheap site fees anywhere else in the town or the area,” they wrote.
The Riverland to celebrate NAIDOC Week from July 1 THE Riverland will celebrate NAIDOC Week from Sunday, with a number of events to be held across the Riverland. Riverland NAIDOC committee’s Susanne Stennett said NAIDOC week is a very important time in Aboriginal history. “This year is celebrating the 40th year of the tent embassy, which was set up to challenge the establishment,” she said. “This week is meant to help to instill pride and educate people on the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders.” The celebrations start on Sunday, July 1 with a flag raising ceremony, followed by a church service in Gerard. On Monday, there will be a NAIDOC March in Berri at 9.30am beginning from Rowe Reserve and heading to the riverfront. The march will be followed by a flag raising and awards ceremony and lunch will be provided on the riverfront. Events will follow throughout the week with highlights including an Elders lunch at the Gerard Community Hall, a cultural event in Waikerie, a fishing competition and an Indigenous Young Women’s Leadership Program at Calperum station. For more information about the week’s events, contact Susanne Stennett on 0424 729 701.

A win for Cadell THE community of Cadell and the Riverland west region have had a great result. After highlighting to the State Government how important the ferry service is to their community, the government has done a quick back flip on their decision to close the ferry. I congratulate the Premier Jay Weatherill for making the decision to continue the ferry service. I would also like to congratulate the Cadell community for taking the government head on. Locals like Keryn Gorman, Danny Mcgurgan and Steve Liebich, along with many other supporters, have stepped up and have shown that a small group of committed locals can influence poor decisions made in Adelaide. I believe the Premier needs to reinforce to both Patrick Conlon and Gail Gago that in future they need to understand how their decisions can impact on regional communities. I have been extremely disappointed in Gail Gago, as the minister representing the industry I am in being agriculture. Her performance on this issue has been extremely underwhelming. The Premier needs ministers who understand the challenges facing the people they represent and they need to stand up for them when they are faced with poor government decisions. Now that Premier Weatherill has listened to the community on the ferry closure he would be wise to take on board the views of river communities on other issues such as progressing the Murray Darling Basin Plan. James Stacey, Senate Candidate SA Nationals.
Great fight to save ferry Congratulations to the Cadell community for putting up a magnificent fight to save their ferry service. Cadell was given virtually no time to organise a campaign opposing the Government’s decision to close the ferry but the community rallied strongly after the initial shock and they’ve got the outcome they deserved. It’s a fantastic achievement. I’d like to personally thank everyone in the Chaffey electorate who showed their support for the small community of Cadell. I know the town has been very grateful for the support which came from other Riverland communities, as well as from across and even beyond South Australia. Individuals young and old, businesses and the local media have all supported Cadell in its successful
fight to save the ferry service from closure on June 30. Well done to everyone involved. Tim Whetstone MP, Member for Chaffey.
Hope marriage act survives as is SOMEONE once said, ‘If all the lonely people walked by, the rest of us would have to get off the street’. Militant gays have changed the meaning of the word ‘gay’ and their campaign to change the meaning of the word ‘marriage’ is disturbing in its brazen, in-your-face offensiveness. What’s wrong with ‘civil union’ as a legal status, if legal status is what gays want? Their campaign has already increased the isolation and loneliness of unattached people so that two men friends or two women friends sharing accommodation for reasons of economic and personal security are labelled ‘gay’, and those who don’t have a friend/partner of the opposite sex, it is supposed, must be gay. How sad is that? Friends are like flowers; their love and approval give fragrance and flavour to our lives that the gays’ campaign has tarnished with sexual slander. I sincerely hope the marriage act survives as is. Jeanette Staehr, Barmera.
Milich memorial THE relatives of Johannes and Pauline Milich are in the process of organising a memorial cairn at Milch’s Landing at Pyap to acknowledge our pioneering family. There is some very good news, the Loxton Waikerie Council has given approval for the memorial to go ahead. Now we are asking for donations to help with the costs of the memorial. We would like to thank those who have already donated into the bank account, your donation is appreciated. If anyone has any questions please call Denise on 8582 3609. Denise Van Oostveen (nee-Milich), Berri.
Have your say about the issues that affect you.
Where do you stand Ms Ruston? I THINK Ms (Anne) Ruston you are forgetting the support the state Labor Goverment is giving local producers/industry, for example via the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund. Also, another interesting article is about the State Government announcing a single industry body to represent the state’s citrus industry. In the Riverland Weekly on Thursday, May 10, 2012, there was an article about a survey of local businesses based on their expectations from April 2012 until 2014 and the headline was ‘Businesses to grow’ and the report goes on to point out that ‘when a report such as this one has been produced it gives us great confidence’. Last week in the Riverland Weekly, Thursday, July 14, there was an article about the Gurra Downs Date Company receiving a major boost through the Federal Government’s Caring for our Country Program of $200,000, which apparently will help towards research and development. Globalisation has had a negative impact on a number of our country’s industries and producers in past years and I think it would be hard to argue with the facts that both major parties support the continued status quo in that area. But can you tell us where you personally stand on this issue and give an example, or examples, of what changes you would like to have made to address these problems? I just want to thank you again for the opportunity to ask these questions in response to your articles in the local papers and that you have taken the time to respond as being a politician is not an easy job. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts, aspirations, intentions and plans to assist this region and country as you campaign to be elected to the Senate. Marg Moir, Berri.
Lack of validity to pay for school Chaplains THE High Court has found a lack of Constitutional validity for the Federal Government to pay for school Chaplains.
This finding calls into question a number of other payments, including to local government, made from Canberra which may also fail the Constitutional ‘test’. Thankfully Constitutional lawyer Professor George Williams suggests a number of these funding schemes may have to be directed from Canberra to the states to spend on its behalf. Professor Williams’ suggestion would help maintain the correct relationship between federal, state and local government. Furthermore, this policy would completely eliminate the so-called need to have local government recognised in the Constitution to ensure its funding. What a good idea, Professor Williams!
She works hard, has a huge expense and sees lots of mistreated animals, which is heartbreaking and no animal is destroyed. Maybe a donation would be nice. Martina Roberts, Loxton.
Ken Grundy, Naracoorte.
Pauline Gilbert, RVC Berri.
Thank you ON behalf of the Riverland Veterans Centre Inc., I would like to sincerely thank Betty and Peter Katsaitis and the staff of The Berri Bakehouse. Their generosity in assisting our organisation with fundraising by the way of the sale of Peoples Choice Credit Union Lottery tickets has been exceptional. May I take this opportunity to thank them also for the best coffee in our State bar none.
Cats are not feral WHAT really annoys me is the term ‘feral cat’. They are not feral, they have been abandoned by irresponsible humans. These so-called humans move house or move to a different town and leave the poor cat, or cats, to fend for themselves. Most times the cat is not desexed and they end up having kittens. The poor little animals are frightened and starving. Also, people on the land have cats, usually not desexed, which are used to keep the mice down. Kittens are born and before you know it, there are 30 or more cats. Then there are no more mice, so the cats are killing wildlife to survive and humans complain about feral cats. Wake up, it’s not the cat at fault but the human race. Thank God we have Lola and her volunteers from the Moorook Animal Shelter, who have rehomed thousands of animals. To the ‘do-gooders’ that run her down, see if you can do better. Lola is an amazing lady that is dedicated to her animals.

By BEN HAMMOND THE Riverland Special School will celebrate its 50th anniversary tomorrow. Riverland Special School student services officer Cherie Walkington said staff, students and those involved with the school are excited about celebrating the important milestone. “We are having an open day and lunch and it’s open to everybody, particularly staff, students and members of the school, but anybody is most welcome to come,” she said. Ms Walkington said there will also be a chance for guests to view the working relationship between students and teachers. “We will have a wander around the school and be able to see the students in their classrooms,” she said. “We are also having some guest speakers and a cutting of the cake.”
Local set to hit a high note ■ SINGER: Door Snakes vocalist Tristan Kemp will take part in Singing With The Stars. EIGHT Riverlanders have volunteered to be the entertainment at Saturday night’s Singing With The Stars in Loxton. The Make-A-Wish-Foundation Riverland branch event is expected to attract plenty of laughter as well known local singers pair up with eight of the Riverland’s most interesting characters to sing. The fundraising event to be held at the Loxton Peace Hall at 7pm is for a great cause, according to Make-A-Wish-Foundation Riverland branch president Dallas Zeliff. “We support local children with life threatening medical conditions,” he said. “Every year we’ve raised enough money in the Riverland to support the Riverland children.” Singing With The Stars includes some of the region’s finest voices including 15-yearold Shaylee Kassulke, Alysha Herrmann, Kylie Loxton, Doorsnakes’ vocalist Tristan Kemp, That 80s Band’s Andy Bourn and country singer Mick Noack. The talent will be paired with brave hopefuls including last year’s winner Paul Hansen, Barmera teacher Sam Mitchell, Bronte Manuel, Ryan Seaman, Stephanie Casha and Magic FM’s Hayley and Chris. Based on their performance, the crowd will donate money and three judges will also choose an overall winner. “They’ll get dressed up, sing a karaoke number and do it very badly I would imagine,” Mr Zeliff laughed. “Everybody will have three and a half hours of absolute, total fun.” Entry is $10 per person with supper included, for bookings contact Kimberlee on 0429 807 956 or Dallas on 0431 352 168.

WAIKERIE ENDURO
Renmark’s Brad Gallard is favourite for this weekend’s W Waikerie ik i EEnduro d but...
There is plenty of competition DRIVERS from across Australia are heading to the Riverland this weekend for the much anticipated Waikerie Enduro. The off-road event held over three days just outside of Waikerie is expecting some of motorsport’s biggest names to compete. Waikerie-Riverland Off-Road Association secretary David Schultz said he expects around 60 drivers to take part in the long running event. This year’s Waikerie Enduro will feature round three of the South Australian State Championship, round three of the SAORRA Series and round two of the Performance Metals Tri-Series. After taking out the Finke Desert Race this year, Renmark’s Brad Gallard is the front runner for the main race, which begins on Sunday. However, Mr Schultz said there will be plenty of competition with locals Toby Francombe and Lindsay Foster also favourites, while Mannum’s Haby brothers, Aaron and Carl, are also expected to be around the mark. In fact, Aaron Haby will find it a big challenge to defend his Waikerie Enduro title after damaging his car during the Sea Lake Mallee Rally. Drivers are expected to come from across Australia, including travelling from all parts of South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and Alice Springs. The action begins tomorrow night with scrutineering at the Waikerie Oval from 4pm to 8pm, where the public will be able to see the vehicles first hand and chat to the drivers. “You can actually have a close look at the cars,� Mr Schultz said. On Saturday, the prologue at 12.30pm

will decide starting positions for the main race and at 3pm there will be a Hot Lap in Gallard’s vehicle for one lucky competition winner. There will also be the Top 10 Shootout taking place at 3.30pm with the fastest cars put to the test with about $5000 of cash and prizes on offer. “There is some spectacular parts in front of the crowd,� Mr Schultz said. “There’s three fairly substantial jumps in a row.� There will also be a Trophy Kart Demonstration, which could also be a new class for both adults and juniors in the future. The main event kicks off at 9am on Sunday with presentations following the race. Entry for each day is $2 per person with the Waikerie Football Club providing catering and bar facilities on Friday and the Waikerie Apex Club on Saturday and Sunday. On the Saturday night, the Apex Club will host a roast dinner with a live band. Mr Schultz said organisers are hoping for up to 2000 people to attend the three day event. He said there is plenty to see for those in attendance. “People who are interested and haven’t seen it before and want to know what offroad racing is all about, I would strongly suggest that Saturday is the day to go,� Mr Schultz said. “At the main camp on Sunday, you get to see them at the start of the lap, at the finish of the lap but also part of the way through the lap they come back past the crowd, so you get to see where people are as far as where they are positioned in the race.�

Yes Chef
with Peter Kent
ON THE MENU: SA King George Whiting, prawn and caper mousse with lime beurre blanc and rainbow chard. SERVES: Two as a light meal or two as an entrĂŠe.
What you will need: Two large king George whiting filleted and skinned (keep the bones).
Prawn and caper mousse Spread some mousse along the King George whiting fillet and then down the centre of the mousse place some of the capers.
Starting from the tail end of the fillet, roll upwards and then roll into glad wrap like a mini bon-bon.
8 large green and peeled prawns Âź cup chopped parsley 1 egg white salt and pepper 1 tablespoon salted capers washed. Place all ingredients (except capers) in a food processor and process until smooth
Fish stock ½ onion peeled and roughly chopped ½ carrot peeled and roughly chopped ½ stick celery, roughly chopped Parsley stalks 1 bay leaf 1tsp peppercorns Bring the fish stock to a boil, turn down to a very gentle simmer and place the fillets in the stock for seven minutes.
Place the carrot and chard on warm serving plates.
Warm some butter in a pan, add the carrot and fish stock and cook. This is followed by the addition of the chard.
Remove the fish from the plastic and trim the ends, place on top of the chard. Drizzle the beurre blanc around the bottom of the plate.
What you need to do: Place all of the ingredients in a large pan with the fish bones. Place on medium heat and bring just to a boil. As soon as the stock reaches boiling point, turn down the temperature to a very low simmer for a maximum of 20 minutes. Turn off and strain stock. Place the whiting fillets on a board with the skin side up. Spread some mousse along the fish fillet, approximately three millimetres deep. Down the centre of the mousse place some of the capers and finish remaining fillets. Starting from the tail end of the fillet, roll it up but don’t push too hard or all of the mousse will leak out the sides of the fillet. Place the fillet one at a time in some glad wrap and roll into a cylinder shape. Then tighten the ends so the shape should
now resemble a mini bon-bon. Bring the fish stock to a boil, turn down to a very gentle simmer and place the fillets in the stock to cook for seven minutes. Remove from the liquid and keep warm.
Lime Beurre Blanc. 1 lime zested and juiced 1 shallot finely diced ½ cup white wine ½ cup fish stock 100gm butter, diced and chilled Place the wine, fish stock, lime juice and zest and shallot in a pan and place on a moderate heat. Allow the liquid to reduce until there is only one tablespoon of liquid left. Strain and place back into the same pot. Gradually add butter, piece by piece, making sure all the butter is well incorporated. Keep this warm and not over 38 degrees.
Rainbow Chard garnish 8 pieces of chard, washed and set aside 1 carrot peeled Peel the carrot into strips of 16 pieces. Warm some butter in a pan, add the carrot and slowly cook for one minute. Then add one tablespoon of fish stock and cook for a further minute. Add the chard and allow to wilt but be careful not cook for more than 30 seconds. Place the carrot and chard on two warm serving plates, remove the fish from the plastic and trim the ends, place on top of the chard. Drizzle the beurre blanc around the bottom of the plate. Top the fish with some herbs such as fresh chervil, lime and continental parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!

TALES OF THE RIVERLAND
Thinking outside the square
With musician
Kelly Menhennett
When I’m home in the Riverland I... jump in my Combi and head down to my favourite river spot.
I’m most comfortable when I’m... sitting in my trackies in front of the wood fire. The song that makes me feel happy is... Stir It Up by Bob Marley
I am currently living in... Adelaide
WHEN it comes to alternative ways to market bush food, Murtho’s Mark Lucas is constantly thinking outside of the square. Mark has built a successful business growing wattle trees and selling the seed through a number of different products. Growing wattleseed began when Mark was offered land from his former employer and early on, he grew native flowers and exported them overseas. However, with the struggling economy, the markets for native flowers became hard to find. Thinking outside of the square, Mark then decided to use the wattle seeds from trees he had planted as a wind break and he has not looked back ever since. Today his business continues to grow and the once arid land has been revegetated and is teeming with life. While his products such as sticky wattle balsamic vinegar and lemon myrtle olive oil are seen throughout the Riverland, Mark is constantly looking for different uses for his wattle seed. “We’re looking at a few bigger things,” he said. Of the new markets for his wattleseed, Mark is looking at a milkshake syrup, icecream and liqueur. Currently the Riverland grown wattleseed
When I was little I wanted to be... a blockie like my dad.
I’ll never forget... my first gig at the Moorook Club. When I’m on stage I’m... happy and I get taken away by the music and the audience getting involved.
My first musical memory was... my sister and I playing on our instruments at home and our patient grandparents listening to our improvised concerts
■ COLOUR: (Above) Murtho’s Mark Lucas with acacia husks on his property and the native tree flowering. is being used by a Sydney organic cosmetic company in exfoliating face scrub. Mark said the response to wattleseed continues to grow with many chefs now tasting the locally grown product. “We have been getting a lot of mail order from people travelling from the Riverland who can’t get (the wattleseed products) anywhere else,” Mark said. “We’re always on the look out for more outlets and different uses.”

RIVERLAND Living
Life is a juggling act for Mayor Peter Hunt has been through it all from tragedy and loss to happiness and success, here is his story as told to Brad Perry. LIFE is certainly a juggling act for Peter Hunt. The Berri Barmera Council Mayor owns a thriving business, has four grown up children and eight grandchildren and still finds time to spend with his wife. However, for Peter it is about finding the right balance and he believes being open to talk to residents at any time of the day is what his role is about. He has gone through much more than most people should have to in a lifetime but it is his will power to stay positive that has shaped him to who he is today.
â– FAMILY: Berri Barmera Council Mayor Peter Hunt with his family (back row from left) daughter Hannah Garoufalis, grandson Evangelos Garoufalis, daughter Naomi Mitchell, daughter-in-law Naomi Hunt, (front from left) grandchildren Meg Mitchell, 5, Miley Mitchell, 3, Saxton Caddy-Mitchell, 8, Tatam Hunt, 3 and Ryder Hunt, 4.
PETER was born in Renmark and his family had a fruit property. In the early days Peter’s grandfather was chairman of the now empty Renmano distillery. Then in 1958, the family decided to move to a house on the Kingston-Moorook hill. What should have been a happy moment in his life playing by the water at Wachtels Lagoon turned into unimaginable tragedy. “The year we moved down to Kingston, I lost my father, my younger brother, grandfather, an uncle and a cousin in a drowning accident,� Peter said. “I was actually on the bank. “The boat accidentally tipped over. “We lost five of our family members in one accident. Unfortunately over the years,
Peter would also lose a daughter, three younger brothers and a step-father. “It was pretty bloody tough, especially for my mother.� It was certainly a challenging childhood following the boating accident but Peter made as best of the situation as he could, attending Kingston and Moorook primary schools. Peter’s mother Dawn married ‘Snow’ Neindorf and moved to Cobodgla, while he lived with his auntie and uncle at Moorook until he finished primary school. After primary school he then joined his mother, step-father and brother and sister at Cobdogla, while attending Glossop High School. “Cobby was a good place to be,� Peter recalled.
“It was a good sporting town, I used to play football and tennis.� Following high school in 1968, Peter started an apprenticeship with Riverland Fruit Products in Berri and spent a good decade working for that business before also working for a petrol company. In 1971, Peter married his childhood sweetheart Ann. Later in that decade, the pair purchased the Loveday Store and Post Office. “Those were the days when we didn’t have the real big plazas and things like that, it really was a great corner store and township store,� he said. “Those were the days when you would see three or four travellers a week, they would call in and have a chat.� In 1983, Peter was successful
BERRI IRRIGATION SERVICE
in gaining employment as a fitter and turner at Brown’s Machinery in Berri, while Ann continued to run the Loveday Store. Five years later the pair would sell the store and Ann too came to work at Brown’s Machinery with her husband, whilst also running the Blue Bird Cafe at Barmera. Peter got his first taste of Local Government when he became an elected member of the District Council of Barmera in 1987. Hard work paid off for Peter when promoted to national service manager in that same year and then in 1993 he was appointed managing director of Brown’s Machinery. “I was the first Australian to hold that position at the American company,� he said. For that reason in 1993, Peter did not seek re-election on council
and it was not until 2000 that Peter decided to be involved once again but this time, following the amalgamation of the towns, it was now known as the Berri Barmera Council. “I decided to go back on again because the six years that I had spent on the District Council of Barmera, I thoroughly enjoyed,� he said. He was elected to Deputy Mayor in 2004 and was elected as Mayor of the Berri Barmera Council in 2006. During the following period, Peter also began working full time with Ann at their Berri business Simply Events. Today, Peter lives in Barmera and travels to Berri to work and enjoys juggling the many hats he is required to wear in his various roles, including attendance of up to 25 meetings and functions per month. Talking to people is what Peter loves doing. “Every time I walk down the street there is always someone there to have a chat,� he said. “It is challenging but it is something I thoroughly enjoy and when you enjoy something you put your whole 100 per cent behind whatever you do. “It’s either work, council or spending time with the grand kids and my kids and I still get the opportunities to take the kids to school. “I just like talking to people and from the amount of people that come up and talk to me, they must feel the same way and hopefully that’s the case.� At 61 years of age, Peter is hoping the community still see him as Mayor for a little longer yet. “I would like to think that if I’m fit and able, I would certainly like to put my hand up again,� he said.

Finding new ways to use old objects AS YOU stroll through an antique store or second hand store, or are simply looking through your unwanted items, learn to look at everything with fresh eyes. Frequently an item that appears to be scrap can easily be transformed into a one-of-a-kind item for your home. A worn looking piece that was a spice rack in a former life can become an adorable shelf for your bathroom. If it needs some freshening up, simply scuff it with sandpaper and whitewash it. Hang the rack upside down and place candles or coloured soaps on top. Hang decorative finger towels from the rail that once held spices in place. A medium-sized desk with straight legs that is no longer useful can be made into several smaller pieces of furniture. Start by removing any drawers. These can easily be made into storage pieces. Stand a drawer up, using the drawer front as a base. Using scrap wood, cut out two doors and attach them with hinges. Inside, add shelves if desired. Paint or whitewash to unify the pieces you attached and you have a handy countertop cabinet that makes a great medicine cabinet or jewellery storage piece. Drawers also make good shadow boxes or you can attach small casters to the bottom of a drawer for great under the bed storage. From the shell of the desk, make two end tables or nightstands. Cut the top in half. These two halves will be your tabletops. They may need a bit of trimming to achieve the appropriate size. Cut the legs in half and you will have eight legs, short enough
for end tables. Attach the legs and paint or stain as desired. Antique buckets look fantastic when filled with flowers. If you choose a wooden bucket, check for leaks. You may need to use a plastic planter liner. Wash tubs make incredible planters. Fruit crates are perfect for kitchen display shelves. Simply hang a crate on the wall and add accessories. Vintage signs and game boards quickly become one-of-akind wall art, as do antique eggbeaters and other unique kitchen utensils. One of the best ideas is creating gorgeous antique lamps and light fixtures from assorted items such as coffee percolators, teapots, milk bottles, vases and butter churns. These items can be wired with inexpensive lamp kits or with vintage hardware for unique lighting. Giving antique items a fresh look and feel is simple and fun to do. It just takes a little creativity and effort and of course the ability to see new uses for old things. Sourced from: www.life123.com

OT too many Riverlanders can boast that they were at Royal Ascot to watch famous horse Black Caviar race. Loxton North’s Michael Arnold and Ilze Braddock jumped at the opportunity to witness history as the horse notched up its 22nd consecutive win. Michael and wife Ilze are currently in England after leaving the Riverland on Christmas Day last year with Ilze undertaking a teacher exchange. Life is certainly different living in Hereford, in Herefordshire in the West Midlands of England. For Michael, the cold weather is a far cry from the sunny Riverland where he works on the family fruit property with his brothers Tim and Ryan and father Barry. Whilst enjoying the opportunity to see another part of the world, Michael was surprised by some of the differences. “The weather has been the biggest thing for me,” he said. “When we first arrived it was dark when you woke up and dark when you finished work. “It was getting down to minus eight degrees celcius overnight and the ground was frozen solid. “Sports were even called off due to a frozen pitch and all the locals told us how it was a really warm mild winter.” Being away from the family farm in Pyap as his siblings battle through another citrus season is unusual for Michael. However, he is constantly thinking about ways his experiences in England can be adapted when he returns home. “At the start I thought ‘yay, here we come, a year long holiday and I”ll just switch off’,” Michael said. “But it has been totally the
opposite and I probably think about our business back home more than ever before. “Travelling exposes you to so many different people, situations and ideas. “I find myself thinking if any of the things I’m seeing could apply to growing freshcitrusdirect. com.au or making our fruit orchard more efficient. “I’m always emailing Tim, Ryan or Dad with my new ideas/ experiences.” Despite being a long way from home, his Riverland family is constantly keeping Michael informed about the current citrus season and the Loxton North Football Club, where he won an A grade premiership last season. “The boys have been pretty good at keeping me in the loop, via emails, sending USB sticks with pictures of our trees, with the crop load and fruit size on each patch,” he said. Where Michael and Ilze are currently living in the West Midlands, there is not much citrus grown. “In and around Hereford you are deep in the heart of Cider Country,” he said. “There are a lot of apples and hops grown around here, as well as some very well watered wheat, barley rapeseed/oilseed and potatoes. “I am currently working for a guy that grows cider and dessert apples, as well as a bit of wheat and 120,000 chickens every two months. “He has a big apple storage facility with controlled atmosphere to make the apples store for longer and a solar farm to run the cool rooms and provide energy for the chicken sheds. “I find my current job very interesting as a lot of the horticultural practices are transferrable. “Even though it is apples and not oranges, he is facing some of the same challenges that we face.”
Both Michael and Ilze have been travelling outside of England during their time abroad. “We plan to travel as much as we can afford too because it helps to open your eyes to new things,” he said. “Ilze and I have a rule, that is we can’t so “no” to anything. “So if someone asks us if we want to try something or do something, the answer is always “yes”. “You never know when, or if, you’ll get that opportunity again, so just do it.” Michael said travelling across the world with his wife has been a rewarding experience. “It’s one of the best things I’ve done in my life,” Michael said.

Many options to help cut rising energy bills in winter
W
ITH household power bills continuing to rise and the cold winter months well and truly set in, appropriate window applications can make a huge difference. While many window coverings and roller shutters are generally thought of as best used during summer, CC Blinds and Curtains owner Sue Skinner said there are many benefits during winter as well. “Most people look at the short term, what they are saving today and they are looking at the price of the product and what it’s going to cost them right now without taking into account the advantages of that product and how much it is going to save you year after year,� she said. Of some of the selections to help lower your energy costs, the Verosol Twin Pleated Blinds offer year round advantages during both winter and summer. “It gives you the advantages of a solar backing, in
other words, a metallic, reflective back for the summer time that is the day time blind, so you can see out but you are getting protection from the sun while the blind is down,� Sue said. “Attached with that is a cellular blind which you can drop down for night time privacy that gives you the light control but also the insulation through the cells of the fabric. “It’s a dual purpose blind which has great advantages 12 months of the year, whereas some other products are only good for summer or only good for winter. “It’s great for saving energy and lowering your heating and cooling costs for 12 months of the year.� The Thermalite Shutter is another great option during winter and comes with a 25 year guarantee. The adjustable panels of the shutter means that you decide the amount of light you want in a room without needing curtains. Roller shutters are also
a great option during winter to keep warmth in and reduce energy bills. “Most people know roller shutters as a summer time product for keeping the sun out but they are brilliant for winter time as well, to keep the warmth in,� Sue said. Also to cut down on rising utility costs, there is no need to heat unoccupied spaces and that is where the Lotus Folding Door can be very effective. “The Lotus Folding Door is a product you can use to stop drafts between areas in the rooms to close off areas that you are not using, so that you don’t have to waste the money on heating or cooling those areas,� Sue said. The folding door can be custom made in a wide range of colours and can be used as a standard doorway or as a whole room divider. “When it’s not being used it stacks back and out of the way,� Sue said. All of these products and much more are available at CC Blinds and Curtains in Loxton.
IN MAY this year, the doors of the Paxon Photography studio in Loxton opened for the first time to Riverland Residents. Proprietor Kimberley Paxon has been passionate about photography since she was a child and feels that it is a service which should be available to everyone, regardless of their income. The Paxon Photography team consists of Kimberley, her step daughter Taliah Paxon and Annie Mcleary. Together they create professional images and packages at affordable prices. While having an alternative style, traditional family portraiture is Paxon Photography’s specialty, incorporating the client’s ideas and visions, striving to make images that capture the personality and passions of the family. Portraiture is only one of the many services that is offered through the studio, as Kimberley plans shoots to meet a wide range of demands. From pets to vintage cars, if there is something that needs to be photographed, the team at Paxon Photography plan and organise shoots for almost everything. With a mobile studio, the crew have travelled around the Riverland and South Australia to capture sports including motorbike events, heavy machinery, family, weddings, parties, community events and even pet portraits. At the studio, there are several other services such as photo retouching, canvas printing and custom picture framing. There is also VIP membership for repeat customers of Paxon Photography, which enables the member to not only get further discounts but to be invited to model call outs and special events. The first VIP event was held at the studio on Friday night and consisted of a night of socialising, light refreshments and a black and white portrait taken of each guest. The night was a success, incorporated services from other Loxton businesses and was the first of many to come. Kimberley enjoys sharing her images with local newspapers and has an interest in fundraising and ongoing community improvement, along with networking with other businesses. “A beautiful picture is something that can be treasured and enjoyed by many,� Kimberley said. “I love knowing that we created an image that is perfect for the person or family and is something they can enjoy without feeling guilty about how much it cost.� Paxon Photography images can be viewed via the businesses’ Facebook site with new galleries uploaded daily.

Householders warned to be prepared for winter pests AS Riverlanders seek comfort in the warmth of their homes over winter, they are not alone. Pests including mice, rats, spiders, cockroaches and termites are already invading homes across the region. Marschall’s Pest Control owner Ben McPhee said stacking firewood at your backdoor can create a haven for bugs and insects. “With winter a lot of people will get their firewood in and stack it up against the house and it’s probably not a good spot to put it, a nice dry shed is probably the best
spot,” he said. Mr McPhee said there are a number of precautions householders can make to help prevent pests invading their home. He said blocking up holes so mice or rodents cannot get inside, putting strips on the bottom of the doors and ensuring there are no overhanging trees (which can be a stepladder for rats) are all steps that can be taken to prevent the influx of pests. “Just overall keeping your property tidy and clean that helps keep the creepy crawlies down,” Mr McPhee said.

Author’s inspiration
■WOMBAT: Liz Frankel holds a baby Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat and (inset) the award winning book. INSPIRED by the surroundings at her Riverland home, award winning author Liz Frankel is excited about the future. After receiving many accolades for Hairy Nose Itchy Butt, illustrated by Garry Duncan, Liz is looking forward to continuing to write children’s literature. It all began 11 years ago when Liz and her husband Clint moved to Good Hope Landing, near Waikerie. For Liz, there was an immediate connection with the River Murray. “I’d always had an interest in the environment and I was con-
cerned about watching the demise with what was happening with the river particularly,� she said. “Being here brought it to the fore because we were witnessing it every day and you could see the biodiversity diminishing. “So I decided to write a children’s book about the River Murray called What do you think? A story about the plight of the River Murray.� Her love affair with writing continued and when illustrator Garry Duncan came up with the idea to create a book about the Southern Hairy Nosed Wombat, Liz was intrigued.

So much so that she eventually offered to write the book and the ideas and words flowed. However, publishing the colourful tale proved to be a challenge. “It took me five years to find a publisher with 15 rejections before we found the publisher who actually said yes,� she said. “It was very disheartening. “Garry and I always had faith in the product because we thought it was a great book but rejection after rejection does take its toll and we started to wonder if it would ever happen.� During this time, Liz volun-

teered to take environmental classes at local schools where she read the draft of the book to the children. “The kids just loved it and that gave me encouragement to keep trying,� she said. Eventually a publisher accepted the book and the rest is history. “We’ve got a publisher who loves our work and is keen for us to do another book,� Liz said. “I think that the reason that this book has worked so well is that Garry and I seemed to have an unspoken and parallel vision for it.

“We really understand each other and we work extremely well together.� The book’s most recent win, the 2012 Wilderness Society Environment Award for Children’s Literature, means a lot to Liz. Especially considering proceeds from the sale of the book are donated back to helping wombats. “It’s overwhelming really, especially after waiting so long to see it in print and then to take out such prestigious awards has been really satisfying,� she said. “This latest one...is the pinnacle for me.�

RIVERLAND Living
The future of farming in SA Riverland and Mallee farmers have been through many ups and downs but what will life be like for them in 50 years’ time? Family First MLC Rob Brokenshire shares his thoughts on the future.
T
HE Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations says the world population will be 9 billion by 2050. The global food demand will double from 2009 levels by that point. Consequently, the need for farming and food production will be critical for that world food challenge. The 2007-8 world food shortage caused incredible political and economic turmoil and was a foretaste of what is to come if we don’t focus properly on a strong agricultural sector. In January 2011, the UN predicted the world would have another food shortage in 2020. By 2050, then, we would hopefully have weathered those crises by building upon good policy decisions at the start of and during the next 50 years. Australian farmers have already been told to lift their productivity by 50 to 80 per cent to meet the 2050 target. So, by 2062, what will farming in South Australia look like?
Here’s what Family First hopes will be the case:
had and resolved one way or the other but irrespective of the outcome, South Australia has made itself a niche and world leader in best yielding, disease and climate resistant crops – just as it became a leader in dryland farming in the past
A
GRICULTURE will be at the cutting edge of not just GPS with headers but information technology, computerisation and telecommunications allows farming to be as efficient as possible.
OVERNMENT would have expanded OUTH AUSTRALIA has identified its straStegic cropping land - its best and most Gregional communities due to competiproductive farming land based on soil type, tiveness at farm gate by continuing to lead rainfall, groundwater and other factors and protected it from being put out of production by competing land uses. This strategic cropping land is in full production in 2062 as South Australia leads the nation in prioritising food production as its number one most sustainable industry.
T
HE benefits of the mining boom have come and gone and its benefits over the 50 years have been invested in infrastructure like roads, ports, rail and growing regional communities to provide the workforce necessary to sustain a strong agricultural sector. Grains grown on the Eyre Peninsula are in some cases value-added in Whyalla, Port Augusta, Port Lincoln etc. The raw or processed product is quickly trucked on well maintained rural roads to deep sea shipping ports in the gulfs. They are loaded up on post-Capesize container ships full of grains and abundant ocean harvest and all are soon on their way to the populous, rapidly modernising and hungry African and highly modernised Asian economies.
A
USTRALIA leads the world in crop science research and wheat, barley, lupins etc produce double what they once did in 2012 per hectare, with 100 metre plus GPS controlled headers raking in the harvest. The Genetically Modified debate has been
the way with research, development and technology. These rural and regional communities will feature processing plants and valueadding facilities close to where food and animal products are harvested so that processed product is sent out after being processed as close as possible to the source of primary production.
G
EOTHERMAL, wave and other renewable energy is used to provide all the power necessary to desalinate metropolitan and rural community water so the River Murray is used for farming and environmental purposes only. South Australia is also connected to a revolutionary, nation building water grid connecting the Ord River, Fitzroy River, north Queensland River systems and Tasmanian water that would otherwise run-off to sea. All of these connecting into the southern mainland river basins so that water is abundant year round and being sent to the places where climate and soil conditions suit the crops the world needs in season. Year round, South Australia and the nation achieve best possible prices by getting the most produce out to the world at seasonally advantageous times.
R RIVERLAND SHEDS
ECYCLED water opportunities augment and relieve the Murray with tertiary
treated recycling opportunities maximised throughout the state, as well as South Australia’s continued lead of world’s best and most efficient forms of irrigation.
T
HE agricultural workforce has changed significantly. Farm related jobs relate to more manufacturing related installation and maintenance requirements. In a secondary way, the booming 2062 farm sector means there are massive infrastructure needs (for instance the significant transport and water infrastructure) requiring engineers and construction workers to keep building to add capacity to our food production system.
T
HE State and Federal Governments of 2012-2022 are recognised for showing the visionary leadership and investment in the agricultural sector in planning and facilitating confidence for farming to expand
F
ARMS will still be predominantly family orientated but many are much larger than they were in 2012. There remains a strong corporate and equity partnership farm ownership sector. Labour intensity won’t be as high, meaning less people live around properties. Farming communities will attract those wanting the rural lifestyle who suffer nothing from being in a decentralised, technologyconnected mid-21st century.
M
ACHINERY and robotics will play a large role. All dairy farming, for instance, will be fully robotic. Farmers will be have control centres probably in a room of their home, monitoring the mechanised or robotic spraying, harvesting and seeding via their computer control centre. There will, however, continue to be strong demand for highly trained, passionate farmers and farm staff members focused on livestock welfare and best practice.

Due to the value adding and food processing made possible by competitiveness that follows the modernisation of Asia (and to a latter degree, Africa) meaning, for instance, that a majority of meat livestock will be slaughtered in South Australia.
T
ELEMEDICINE advances in human medicine have extended to the veterinary field and include nutrition and agronomy monitoring, enabling vets and experts to be brought via remote technology ‘on farm’ to provide advice and even robotic-aided assistance with animal and crop issues.
T
HE Waite Institute becomes a knowledge centre for extension services of this nature to provide advice direct to farmer.
D
IAGNOSTICS on crop quantities and readiness for harvest, dealing with disease outbreaks and monitoring wine grape quality ready for harvest can largely be run remotely, again, with telecommunications meaning experts can be engaged remotely to advise on issues to ensure the best possible harvesting time and conditions for crops.
S
OUTH AUSTRALIA will have world’s best right to farm legislation and clear signals from Government allowing SA to make maximum use of its strategic cropping land.
A
CROSS the state, when mining operations have concluded, the topsoil has either been retained from the period before mining or is otherwise reconstructed so that the former farming can be rehabilitated and put back into full productive use.
C
ROPS diversification is the norm, so that areas that might have traditionally been largely wine grapes or dryland cropping are augmented with hydroponic growth of fresh vegetables, on-land aquaculture and the like. The by-products and synergies of these crops are used to mutually support the various crops and activities on the farm. Some farmers for instance will be growing seaweed and processing it for fuel use on-farm. FOR the first time since colonisation, farmers get a good return on their investment at farm gate.

Be aware of changes at tax time
Time to review small business insurance THE end of the financial year is an ideal time to review small business insurance, according to a leading council. As the fiscal year draws to a close, small business owners are reminded to check their insurance policies are up to date. Insurance Council of Australia chief executive officer Rob Whelan said the end of the financial year, on Saturday, provides the owners of small or medium enterprises (SME) with the perfect opportunity to make sure their insurance policies are still relevant. “This is the ideal time for SME owners to review their assets and their specific risks, assess the current value of their operations and if necessary update or even change their insurance policies,� Mr Whelan said. “This time of year can be hectic for small business owners but while they are preparing their statements, it is the perfect opportunity to look at how their business may have grown or changed during the past 12 months. “Owners should ask themselves, have I bought any new vehicles, have I purchased new
office equipment or machinery, do I have more stock, what would happen if my business was interrupted by events outside my control? “Business owners should be asking themselves these questions and more. “If you have expanded, it’s important to make sure your insurance policy expands too, to reflect your business’ growth and protect your assets. “Investing time now to review your circumstances could have huge benefits in the year ahead and provide financial protection from unforeseen circumstances, such as fire, theft, accidental damage, equipment breakdown, property damage, public liability and more.� Mr Whelan said business insurance helps business owners mitigate risk and protect their livelihoods. Insurance Council of Australia members provide a variety of policies that cover small businesses, tradespeople, professionals, hospitality operators and more. An insurance broker can help SME owners decide on the range of products they need.
WITH just days until the end of the financial year, experts say taxpayers should be aware of a number of changes coming into effect on July 1. WHK Principal Hayden Cawse said before lodging a tax return, making a five-minute phone call to a local accountant would inform people of the new rules likely to affect them. “The specialists at WHK are available to give advice and last-minute taxtime tips and to also discuss any budget and government changes that will affect individuals and businesses in the upcoming financial year,� he said. Mr Cawse encouraged people to seek advice on the new rules but said there were some things they should keep in mind to maximise their tax return. “One of the changes is for small businesses with the purchase of new cars and the accelerated depreciation for that,� he said. “Small business entities should consider delaying the acquisition of motor vehicles until after June 30 as an accelerated depreciation deduction of $5000 will be available in the year of acquisition.� Mr Cawse said small businesses should also think about waiting to buy depreciating assets costing more than $1000 and less than $6500 until after July 1 as they could then be written off in full. “Businesses should also consider taking advantage of the $50,000 concessional contributions cap for individuals aged 50 years and over, as this is scheduled to be reduced back to a cap of $25,000 for individuals with superannuation balances of $500,000 or over from July 1,� he said.
One of the major changes that will affect many people are those made to private health insurance and Medicare, according to Mr Cawse. “From July 1, the private health insurance rebate and the Medicare levy surcharge will be income tested against three new income thresholds,� he said. “Currently when you pay your private health insurance everyone gets 30 per cent back from the government but they’re now going to means test that.
Some individuals don’t have a fair understanding of what tax deductions actually mean.
“If you’re earning below $84,000 you’ll still get it and then it’s going to scale up until it gradually drops off to nothing. “And it’s different for families as well.� And while people often think they’re saving money by buying tax deductible items, Mr Cawse cautioned people not to buy things they didn’t need. “Some individuals don’t have a fair understanding of what tax deductions actually mean and how they can benefit from them,� he said. “Quite often, spending money for
the sake of a tax deduction is not really the right thing to do if you don’t need it. “Say you spend $1, you’re only saving yourself the tax rate in that $1. “So if you were at a rate of 30 cents in the $1 tax and you go and spend $1 on a tax-deductible item, you’re only getting 30 cents of that back. “So you’re still spending 70 cents on something you don’t need, which I think a lot of people fall into the trap of.� Mr Cawse said it was good to get tax returns done early on in the year. “If you end up having a payable, which 99 per cent of individual returns aren’t payable, you don’t have to pay it until the lodgment day in May,� he said. “So if you lodge your return early and you have got a payable, you’ve still got a lot of time to pay it “I’ve seen a couple of times where employers haven’t taxed people correctly and they end up with a tax bill. “Now for some people that’s not an issue and they just pay the tax but to others that can be a substantial amount of money that they don’t have.� Mr Cawse urged people to keep and bring all the documentation they could, even if they thought it was irrelevant. “In order to prepare an accurate tax return and support the claims you make, you need to keep careful records,� he said. “The records you need to keep depend on your personal circumstances. “If you are not sure, it is better to keep too many records than not enough.�

Displaying collections around home NOTHING tells the world who we are like the accessories we choose to have in our homes.
black teapot would all work together in spite of their differences because they have colours in common.
They are the true character of a room. Ornate guided mirrors and Dresden figurines tell a very different story from bean pots and brightly coloured advertising tins. Collecting objects we love is simply an extension of the type of person we are and because we are drawn to accumulate such things, at some point the problem of how to display them becomes inevitable. There are many ways to display your collections but remember that a grouping of objects has much more impact than single items placed helter skelter around a room. The objects should be in scale with their surroundings. Two six-inch plates placed on a wall above a large overstuffed leather recliner would not be in scale. Larger plates would provide the visual weight that is required in this case. This is only a guideline, since rules are meant to be broken. A collection should have a central theme or thread that connects all the objects, regardless of what they are. Here are some ways you can connect and display your items:
Theme
Objects This is the most basic and easiest way to tie in a collection. Simply collect different versions of one thing, be it horses, needlepoint pictures, cushions, figurines or glass bottles. Style collections of art pottery from the arts and crafts era, art deco barware, Victorian shawls, southwest terra cotta pots or modernist furniture all have style in common. They represent a certain look or combination of details and lines characteristic of these styles.
Colour Colour is a great way to connect disparate pieces. Red and white or black checked tablecloths, red beaded fruit, a red clock and a modern
The beauty corner - paraffin bath A PARAFFIN bath warms and softens dry, chapped hands, cracked heels, rough calluses on the hands and feet. Whether you work outside for a living or use or wash your hands a lot, hands and feet can take quiet a beating. Add dry, winter weather
to this scenario and you can be talking about some painful hands and feet that have been exposed to the elements. A paraffin wax helps to restore some moisture to the skin and in return, yields a softer, pliable skin. It is just a relaxing and healing experience.
This is a fun way to connect collectibles. Often, ones collecting interest will spill over to another related area. For example, a western or cowboy themed collection might include a framed print of a famous cowboy or western landscape scene, tin mugs from old fire pits, spurs and equestrian trophies.
Whether you work outside for a living or use your hands a lot, hands and feet can take a beating. A paraffin wax helps to restore some moisture to the skin

Original use This is sometimes a bit more involved. It may include a collection of objects through the ages. For example, “washing clothes” may be the idea. Soap boxes, washing machines, washboards and wash tubs would showcase this theme. A collector of this type usually is very well versed in the history of their favoured objects.
Room This simply means collecting items that suit a specific room, such as kitchen collectibles displayed in a kitchen, vanity dresser and items displayed in a bedroom. Once you have sorted your collection according to some kind of order, be creative about how to show it off. For example, prints do not have to be framed to be on display. Have mattes cut and display them en masse leaning against a mantle or on shelf. Do the same with photos; keep changing the photos but keep the mattes. Your display will stay fresh, and your budget will love you for it. Spend time looking at interior design magazines for ideas on how to show off your treasures. In time, your collections will truly show what an interesting person you really are.

S RESIDENTS reach for a jumper thanks to plummeting temperatures, a leading Australian veterinarian is warning pet owners that humans are not the only ones feeling the winter chill. According to leading specialist vet Dr Rod Straw, the onset of cooler temperatures can cause serious health problems for our four legged friends. “There is a perception that dogs and cats are insulated from the effects of cold weather due to their fur coats,� he said. “This may be true for animals with long thick fur but dogs and cats with short to medium coats can suffer great discomfort if they are trapped outside in cold weather.� Dr Straw said conditions such as arthritis can also cause discomfort in the cold weather.

If an area is too cold for you to sleep, it’s also likely to be too cold for your pet. Find a spot which is free from cold draughts and provide warm bedding which is slightly elevated from the cold ground.
During cold periods, bathing your pet can remove essential oils, exacerbating dry and flaking skin. If bathing is necessary, use a moisturising shampoo or bath wash.

“Animals that seemed fine over the summer may need treatment by their veterinarian in the winter months. “Veterinarians can prescribe medications to relieve the distress caused by arthritis.� The chill in the air can also contribute to dry and flaking skin which, while irritating for animals, can lead to bigger problems like skin infection. To keep pets warm and healthy this winter, Dr Straw has seven tips for pet owners:
0OWERING THE 2IVERLAND SINCE
â– COSY: A leading Australian vet believes a coat can help keep your pet warm this winter.
On cold, windy days, a warm coat can help your pet to stay warm and also guard against dry skin.
4. Brush regularly Stimulate blood flow and improve your pet’s skin condition by brushing frequently during the winter months.
5. Increase meal sizes During winter, pets expend energy staying warm. Feeding your pet a little extra can help ensure they stay energetic and healthy.
6. Keep up fluids Colder temperatures can dehydrate your pet. Ensure they have access to plenty of drinking water.
7. Provide incentives for exercise Staying active for animals is important all year round but often dogs will be more hesitant to go for walks and play outside when temperatures drop. Providing treats for your dogs during walks and exercise can provide the motivation they need to join you outside.
Animals that seemed fine over summer many need treatment in winter.

RIVERLAND INDEPENDENTS - ROUND ELEVEN MATCH OF THE ROUND
Lyrup v Cobdogla THIS is one of the most important matches for both teams in the 2012 minor round. Both Lyrup and Cobdogla are sitting on four wins each with less than one per cent separating the two teams. The Lions lost their way last round against Brown’s Well, letting the Bombers have 48 scoring shots in a 106 point victory. Cobdogla also struggled against league leaders BSR, with the young team held goalless in the first and last quarter. The equation is simple for either team; win and gain breathing space in the top four. Lyrup is likely to go into the contest relatively unchanged with only Brad Healy out due to suspension. On the other hand, Cobdogla has been hit hard by injuries, testing the team’s depth. Tyson Maynard has fractured a collarbone, Ryan Pietrolaj is likely to miss the rest of the season with a leg injury, Kyle Gillespie has fractured ribs, Josh Watkins has hurt his shoulder and Dylan Clarke and Troy Dawson are both unavailable. The Eagles are hopeful of Paul Ryder, Mitch Winen, Darren Starkey and Rohan Axon all returning
THE OTHER GAMES
from injury this round. The battle of the midfields could be a decisive factor in the outcome of this match with Jason Marr, Ken Karpany and Dave Grenfell up against Zac Walker, Graeme Dyer and Luke Paterson. Tom Smith has been forced to do a large amount of the rucking duties for the Lions and that has left a hole in defence. However, the Eagles are missing two of their main goal scoring options in Darell Tilbrook and Dawson, making it very difficult to kick a winning score. For Lyrup, Nathan Gregory appears to be its main forward, with his ability to outreach most defenders. Adam Barnett may get the job on Gregory but it does seem as if the Lions have the advantage up forward. Cobdogla coach Brad Gillespie said he was pleased with his team’s efforts against BSR, despite the 89 point loss. “I think our mindset was really good,� he said. “We could of got absolutely blown away in the second half. “I was also very pleased with the juniors that played.� Gillespie said a win against Lyrup is crucial. “We’ll just go out there and there will be a lot of blokes playing in different areas,� he said. “If we lose this one it could be
ANOTHER very important match for both East Murray and Brown’s Well with a very realistic chance that the loser will not play finals football this season. The Bombers sent a message to the rest of the competition last round with an upset of Lyrup, while East Murray enjoyed a return to form with a 240 point trouncing of Moorook-Kingston. While the Tigers have home ground advantage, Brown’s Well is searching for its third consecutive win and playing oustanding football. Led by captain Brian Hampel up forward, the team is well balanced. Young Troy Braun has been in top form in defence and moving through the midfield, while Pat Flavel has also provided rebound in the back half. Geordie Franks was far from quiet last week plenty of shots on goal and will be hard to stop again this round. For East Murray, the obvious standout is Chris Rudiger, while Ash Hissey has produced good football for many years. Pat Flavel is likely to stand Rudiger in what should be a gripping contest.

PLAYER numbers are not getting any stronger at MoorookKingston with at least six juniors being fielded in a team without an interchange bench. It is going to be a very long second half of the season for the Warriors, who this round face the might of Paringa. The Swans are beginning to find some form after losing the battle for top position to BSR. There is genuine concern that the result in this contest could be more than 200 points with the Warriors conceding 14 goals and

seven behinds in the final quarter against East Murray last round. Bad news continues for the Warriors with Blair Dillon out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. Chris Cooper is also not likely to return this year, along with Russell Boatswain. Wade Simpson will return from work for Paringa, while Damien Heinicke is unavailable. Moorook-Kingston coach Cecil Rigney said at 59 years of age, he almost had to put the boots on last round. He said a number of players have let the club down by not turning up with only about eight core players to reliably choose from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got guys playing who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played for seven
years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got half a dozen colts, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big ask for them.â&#x20AC;? Kenny Wright, Matt Cooper, Ryan Dick, Brett Smith and veteran Peter Perry have tried hard. Paringa coach Arrod Westley said he wants his team to get first hands on the football. He said the Swans will run the Warriors â&#x20AC;&#x153;off of their feetâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good for us on Saturday to start enjoying our football a bit better,â&#x20AC;? Westley said. Chris Gardner appears to have returned to form and Dean Hill, who has had a lean patch in front of goal, could be in for a big game. Paringa will win by more than 200 points.

Smart footballer Ash Smith may get the big task on Jason Berger, who booted 10 goals last round. Tiger midfielder Kenneth Dixon will battle it out with Braun. Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well will include George Fieldhouse in this roundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, while there is hope a former key forward will return. Bomber coach Lance Degenhardt praised his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts against Lyrup, which included a 12 goal third quarter and 19 scoring shots in the first term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was a very, very good team effort,â&#x20AC;? he said. Degenhardt said he hopes his team has the mental toughness to overcome the Tigers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This week is very important for me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will test whether players have reached the point of where I want them to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see the rest of the season as a big challenge for the Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well Football Club.â&#x20AC;? East Murray must win to stay in touch with the top four as the team has a very challenging month of football ahead with matches against Paringa, Cobdogla, Ramco and BSR. While East Murray has the home ground advantage, if Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well can play like it did against Lyrup, the Bombers will produce a comfortable win.

the end.â&#x20AC;? Lyrup coach Shane Healy said he was disappointed with the performance last round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have got a lot better potential than that,â&#x20AC;? he said. Healy said a win is vital for Lyrupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win this weekend, we are out of the four and we possibly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get back in there,â&#x20AC;? he said. Lyrupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience at home will stand out in a hard fought win.
DO NOT write Wunkar off just yet. While the Bulldogs may be stuck on two wins, their younger players are showing very good signs. They are capable of upsetting any team in this competition. Ramco is coming off the bye and will have fresh legs to take on Wunkar. Defender Damien Crowe may watch veteran Shane Schulz, if he plays. The area that has been most impressive for Ramco is the midfield. Daniel Donnelly could
match up with Daniel Evans, while Bryce Matthews and Harley Bennell may run sideby-side. Max Baddack is always dangerous up forward with 34 goals to date. Jordan Hentschke continues to rebound the football off half-back and linking up with the likes of Ian Worsfold and Liam Henschke, provides running options around the wing. Ramco has the chance to win four out of its next five matches to really keep in touch for a home final. The Roosters should make easy work of a young Wunkar to the tune of 12 â&#x2013; Harley Bennell is an important goals. player for Wunkar.

Berri’s Brett Stokes appointed to coach country team
Doubles eight ball win ■ PHIL Pfennig and Marcia Vithoulkas have broken through for their first major eight ball title with a victory in the annual Cobby Station Riverland Doubles tournament. The triumphant pair defeated Tracy Altschwager and Trish Stieler in a semifinal and then won against father and son combination Robbie and Brodie Albanese in the final. In the other semi final, the Albanese combination accounted for Tony Rover and Mark Seeby. With a number of highly rated teams, including some past winners, exiting the event in the first round, there was a distinctly different look about this year’s tournament. Defending champions, Moorook’s Mick and Anthony Wachtel, were eliminated from the main competition early but in a replay of the major 2011 final, they won the plate competition against George Tsorotiotis and Andrew Hambi.
Loxton RSL considers division one bowls entry ■ A MEETING of the Riverland Men’s Bowling Association was held last week to decide on the composition of teams for the 2012-13 season. There was a line of thought in some quarters that a reduction from four rinks of four players to three rinks of four, as widely adopted by a number of associations across Australia, could encourage more clubs to enter first division. However, as I understand it, after voting involving all member clubs of the association, team sizes will remain unchanged next season. Despite that, I understand that Loxton RSL is considering entry into the first division competition.
Australian head coach ■ AFTER travelling to Thailand and Malaysia as the assistant coach of the senior Australian Country Men’s touring team, Berri’s Brett Stokes has received notice from Hockey Australia of another major appointment. Stokes (pictured) will be the head coach of the senior Australian Country Women’s team that will tour Hong Kong and Singapore, most likely in early April, 2013. This is a two year appointment, subject to a performance review after 12 months. The role starts now as he will be required to act as a selector at the National Country Championships in Bendigo, not only for his women’s squad but also for the senior men and the under 21 country men and wom-
en that will travel to Fiji for the Oceania Pacific Cup competition in December. Brett was already to attend the Bendigo event as coach of the SA Country Men’s team and has been given permission to continue in that position. There is also a possibility that he will be invited to attend the Champions Trophy in Melbourne in December to observe the Australian teams at closer quarters than watching matches from the stands.
Stokes has been issued with an extensive coach duty statement for his new position with generally an aim ‘to create an environment that is disciplined, motivational and educational and in so doing provide the opportunity for all individuals and the team to perform to potential’. Stokes is obviously impressing a number of people in the right places as he progresses rapidly in his coaching career. But then his resume contains a lot of experience. He has a playing history that has taken him from SAPSASA to SA Country and Australian Country representation. He has won multiple local men’s A Grade Best and Fairest awards and in 2005 was named
Riverland Sportsperson of the Year. Brett’s coaching also started at junior level, with the Berri under 12s, from where he graduated to Riverland under 18s. After spending 1994 to 2001 out of the Riverland, Brett was at the helm of the Riverland senior men’s teams and in 2004 coached the State over 35 Women’s side in Perth. Since then he has graduated through Riverland/Barossa, SA Country Men, Australian Country under 21, senior men and now senior women’s roles. In 2010, he was named Hockey SA’s Coach of the Year. Currently, off the pitch Stokes is chairperson of the Hockey SA High Performance Committee and is a director on the association’s board.
Reigning champion has the job of stopping in-form Waikerie at home ■ LOXTON, the reigning champion in men’s A Grade hockey, has a huge task at Waikerie on Saturday afternoon. It has to stop an opponent that is like a runaway train. In the past three outings, Waikerie first ended Loxton’s undefeated run then beat Renmark 7-1 and last Saturday steamrolled Berri 12-0. The visitors are going to need all hands on deck to defeat a Waikerie side that has had players like Brenton Kroehn, Jason Redemski, Shaun Pick, Graeme Bartel, Michael Camill-
eri, Caleb Catford and coach Ryan Edwards, who scored four goals against Berri, queuing up for best player rankings. Loxton just had the bare numbers in its 2-2 result against Renmark on Friday night and had to fight desperately from 2-1 down at half time to retain top position on the ladder. In the earlier time slot at Waikerie on Saturday, 2pm, Waikerie will meet Loxton in the women’s A Grade with both teams coming off a 2-2 draw last week. After its upset win against Renmark in the previous round,
Waikerie shared the points with bottom team Berri, while Loxton and Renmark simply kept their rivalry alive. For Waikerie, Holly Micke, Janine Frost and Thalia Boatswain and for Loxton Belinda Stoneham, Tara Allister and Louise Smith carry good form from last week into this clash. Tomorrow night’s matches at Glassey Park sees Renmark do battle with Berri with the women playing at 7pm and the men at 8.30pm. Renmark’s improved effort against Loxton was sparked by
Juliet Mallinson who scored the two goals, Ally Palat and Megan Taylor, while Berri’s draw against the confident Waikerie line-up has to be classed as an upset. Emma Burge, Kira McMahon and Jen Kiel set the pattern. On the other hand, the men’s teams will go into their clash in contrasting moods. Renmark has put that bad loss to Waikerie behind it with Jordan Caire, Danial Shawyer and Callum Benda showing the way, and Berri come off a mauling from Waikerie.

I believe he was the best all-round sprinter Australia has ever produced ~ Matt Shirvington on the death of Daniel Batman.
The number worn by Barmera’s Alby Yeo when he played for Essendon in 1958.
SPORT
Loxton Legend of local football Renmark, lead the way ■ THE status of Barmera man Alby Yeo in Riverland Football was confirmed by him being named amongst the interchange players in the ‘Legends Team Of The Century’ announced at the local league’s official Centenary Dinner on Saturday, May 16, 2009. Candidates for the team were players that had either been born or bred or had played the majority of their early careers in this region and had gone on to play in competitions at a higher level. Of Alby, the official publication of the legend’s list stated that he was a “rugged onballer and centre line player principally. Fearless but fair he was most often in the thickest of the action. Retired after 21 years in the game”. It further details his career at the higher level as having made 36 league appearances with both the Glenelg and West Adelaide clubs in the South Australian National Football League and five games with Essendon in the Victorian Football League. I sat down for a long chat with Alby and as far as today’s AFL competition is concerned, I imagined he would have been a passionate Essendon supporter. I thought loyalty would govern his position. After all, even at 80 years of age he still wears the shorts of his original club Barmera-Monash when he attends a local gymnasium up to three times a week for a session on the exercise bikes and trampolines. But no, I was in for a shock. Adorning the walls of his room were a couple of huge Collingwood posters. Now this is the team where there is no grey area - you either love them or you hate them. I soon found out that Alby is well and truly in the first category and in fact I have learned since I visited him at Barmera’s Bonney Lodge that he is trying desperately to coerce all of his fellow residents, the staff and anyone else that happens to venture by, to start wearing the black and white beanie of the Magpie Army. I was tempted to ask Alby whether we could move out into the garden to continue our talk but decided to take the wall out of my vision instead. But I simply had to ask him why.
After admitting to supporting anything South Australian, including both the Adelaide Crows and Port Power, Alby explained that he had switched his allegiance to the Magpies when Ben Sinclair, the son of his niece Pru, was taken from the Oakleigh Chargers by Collingwood at number 62 in the 2009 National Draft. Profiles on the 20-year-old refer to his attack on the ball and the ball carrier, desperation and competiveness. All definite extracts from the Yeo football blue print. Ben’s father Peter Sinclair played for Melbourne in the late 1960s Other members of the Yeo family that have gone on to higher level after starting with Barmera (Barmera-Monash from 1957) are Alby’s brother David who played 43 games for Sturt and David’s son Peter, who donned the colours of Port Adelaide on 49 occasions, Sturt 42 and had three league games with Melbourne at the end of the 1972 season before heading overseas to expand his business..
Alby down off the Magpie band wagon, I did manage to eventually steer him around to talk about his own career. Brought up in Loveday he played through the ranks at Barmera-Monash with his first A grade game “at around 15 years of age”. He also played some interleague matches before a career as a fireman took him initially to Adelaide and then to Melbourne. “I can remember as a kid I idolised ‘Choke’ Hermanson, a local butcher who was pretty much Barmera’s Mr Football in those days,” Alby recalled. Alby played in the SANFL in a great era and the names of wonderful players that were either teammates or opponents roll off his tongue. In 1954, he won the medal in the Adelaide midweek competition playing for the Fire Brigade team. He also remembers his time with Essendon in 1958 well. “I wore number 36 and we won two games against Collingwood and Richmond and lost
I got he chance to play at Windy Hill Oval twice and at Arden Street, the MCG. Alby talks with emotion and with pride of the courage and determination and ongoing passion for life and football of his nephew Peter, following a freak accident in the shower at his Melbourne home which rendered him a quadraplegic. He also refers to another of Pru’s sons, Will Slade, who had a career plagued by chronic Osteitis Pubis when he played 18 games between 2002 and 2005 with Geelong. As far as Ben Sinclair is concerned however, 2012 seems to be a breakthrough season in his career as he has found a permanent place in the strong Collingwood team and already has received a Rising Star nomination. Previously he had been stymied by illness and injury but finally made his senior debut in round 19 last season. And Alby is one of the young man’s greatest fans. Extremely anxious to get
three against Melbourne, North Melbourne and Footscray,” Alby said. “I got the chance to play on the Windy Hill Oval twice and at Arden Street, the MCG and Western Oval.” From Essendon, Alby had a brief period with Sandy Bay in Tasmania and then joined Myrtleford for two seasons in the Ovens and Murray League, where he was coached by former SANFL champion Jim Deane. “Jimmy was said to be the highest paid coach in Australia at the time,” Alby said. In 1961 Alby returned to Barmera and the following season he took over as senior coach of his home club, a position he initially filled for five years. He also continued to pull on the boots in a period that produced four grand final appearances but failed to end a Barmera-Monash A grade premiership drought that had start-
ed after a title in 1937. The team was defeated by Loxton in four grand finals in as many years. Mind you, it was a close call in 1962. Barmera-Monash had shocking shooting for goal a factor when it drew 10-20 (80) to 12-8 (80) in the ‘Clayton’s’ grand final at Berri and then was given no second chance by the Tigers in a replay at the same venue,13-4 (82) to another inaccurate 6-13 (49) seven days later. Without a senior premiership as either a player or coach, Alby did finally break through in 1964. “We lost the A grade again playing Loxton that day but I also looked after the B grade and they caused an upset by winning against Loxton,” he said. “I remember it well. “We had a wonderful B grade captain in Johnny Waller.” From there, Alby spent some time as assistant coach at Eudunda to John Murphy, who was later to make a name for himself as a coach in the Riverland, before another two seasons back at the helm with Barmera-Monash. Alby Yeo, something of a football nomad, had seemingly done it all, although it is not difficult to argue that for his enormous input, he perhaps had deserved to celebrate more premierships. But he was not done and another flag was to come from an unexpected source. Firstly he had a two year stint in charge of Cobdogla in the Riverland B grade competition. “We went close to a premiership in one year but were beaten by Renmark in the grand final,” he said. But in 1986, he was to snare a second career title as coach of a combined Cobdogla-Loveday team in the under 13 grade. He talks with pride about the youngsters involved in that team which made it perhaps a little bit easier to understand why those posters on the wall that were still trying to grab my attention had found their way there. I left Alby Yeo’s company with no doubts that he simply loves football and also that I had probably been fortunate to leave without a change in colour to my bright red cap.
Barmera keeper’s flying save seals victory ■ IN ONE of the most evenly contested matches of the soccer season, Barmera United won a seesawing clash against Renmark Olympic 2-1 in the A grade men’s competition at Barmera’s Bruce Oval last Sunday. It took a diving save from Barmera’s goal keeper John Spillios, who was filling the position be-
cause number one keeper Andrew Brooks was unavailable and number two Johnny Ghiagias injured, to prevent Renmark equaling the scores from a penalty kick late in the game. Best players named for Barmera were Kosta Zois and James Wallace and for Olympic, Peter Athanasiou and Kyle Collinson.
In the other game, Berri (Nick Spinks, Edmond Grosser) went on its winning way 11-0 against Loxton (Anthony Costi, Adrian Pipe). The two matches in the women’s division had contrasting score lines. Loxton (Libby Tuhoro, Haylee Symens) won a tight affair against Berri (Marnie Stewart, Alissa
Knight) 1-0, while in a high scoring clash Renmark (Julie Glykos, Somayera Sarvari) defeated Barmera (Angelina Hambi, Andira Alvanos) 5-3. In other grades, John Fisher and Sidney Kanizay led Loxton to a 1-0 victory over Berri in the under 16 competition and in under 14s, Berri and Renmark No. 2 drew 1-1 with the
best players in the game being Steven Kahlon, Adam Drogemuller and Harri Rassias. There was another tie in the under 12s with Jason Westley, Matt Crawford and Cohen Van der Biezen prominent as Berri and Barmera finished 2-2. This Sunday’s games are to be played at Renmark.

Miranda Kai numbers in the Riverland continue to rise COBDOGLA is the lastest Riverland town to embrace the growing popularity of karate with more than 35 people across all ages attending a session on Monday. National Karate Academies instructor Mick Ognenovski said the success of Miranda Kai Karate in other Riverland towns means more ■ READY: School children embraced the introduction classes are being held. “With the success of of karate lessons in Cobdogla this week.
the Monash/Berri dojos, I received a call from the Cobdogla Primary School principal who at the time was getting strong, positive feedback from the parents whose children train on Thursday night at Monash,” he said. Mr Ognenovski said karate can have many benefits, especially for children. “We promote a strong family atmosphere with self
defence, fitness, discipline and fun all mixed together,” he said. “I believe in this combination that children become respected, confident adults in the community.” The Cobdogla sessions are being held at the school hall on Monday nights for juniors from 6pm to 7pm and for seniors from 7pm to 8.30pm.
■ FAST: Barmera’s Jenna Thomas protects the ball against Loxton in A1 Riverland netball. ■ LAST week we nominated Berri as the biggest threat to the two leading teams in A1 grade netball, Renmark and Loxton. However there were indications in last week’s matches that the gap between the bottom and top teams is narrowing. Both of the last two clubs on the ladder, Barmera and Loxton North, made it clear preseason that 2012 was all about more direction, a new approach and with a concentration on youth. Despite both clubs losing at A1 level last Friday night, reports from the matches suggest both Barmera and Loxton North are on track to better times. Barmera made Loxton work overtime for a 58-49 victory and continues to find some depth in talent with Alice Kelsh, Sheri Beech, Katie Saville and Meg Gillespie setting the example. Loxton North also put pressure on undefeated reigning premier, Renmark, leading by five goals at the end of a desperate first quarter and with a host of teenage talent in the best player rankings including Marlee George, Erika Sporn and Jordan Jachmann. Barmera has a bye this week but North has an opportunity to further gauge its progress when it meets Berri. Berri will be hoping to have Ellee Eleftheriadis return to join in-form Taylee Howard and Nicole Hall. Last Friday night also raised another question. Has the gap between traditional rivals Renmark and Loxton diminished? Remember when the two teams met previously in 2012, Renmark converted a predicted thriller to a fizzer with a clinical display. Loxton has scored heavily in the past few outings with an increasing number of contributors including Amber and Skye George, Jacki Dahlitz, Leah Uren, Alysha Proud, Hollie Bullock and Eve Will under mention but Loxton has also been leaking goals to its opponents. That could be costly against a Renmark side that has certainly not been blowing sides away in recent matches, with apparently some injury worries still in the camp. However, tomorrow night it heads to Loxton and Jo Haynes, Anita Modlinski, Kerri Turk and company, all knowing what the game requires. In other netball news, teams have been announced to represent the Murray Academy at the Regional Teams Carnival in Adelaide at the SA Netball Stadium on Wednesday and Thursday. July 4 and 5. The under 17 squad, to be coached by Tracey De Michelle (River Murray), includes Meg Gillespie (captain), Mikayla Graetz, Erika Sporn (Riverland), Amber Secomb, Abbie Keough, Cassie Walter (Mallee), Georgia Weibrecht, Marnie Hood, Tamara Mark, Kelsey Gepp and Chelsea Hancock (River Murray). The under 15s to be coached by Muriel Walter (Mallee) is Riverland’s Bronte Phillips, Marlee George, Ashlea James, Tegan Griffiths, Sophie Croft, Kailey Waechter and Ashlyn Menz and the River Murray’s Courtney Afford, Lucy Harkness and Sarah Duell. Renmark’s Lyn Leuders will coach the under 13 team of Courtney Tschirpig, Eva Nikou, Melody Pfeiler, Connie Griffiths, Niesha Hampel, Amy Stephens, Isabella Zunic, Emma-May Ellis (Riverland), Helene Altmann and Jacinta Thompson (River Murray).

Riverland’s bid for 2016 SA Masters Games
■ TOUGH: The challenging Waikerie Enduro course has tested drivers for many years and will do so again this weekend.
By BRAD PERRY THE three Riverland councils have decided not to lodge an expression of interest to host the 2012 South Australian Master Games. Sports SA invited the local councils to apply to host the games but instead applying to host the 2016 games will be discussed later in the year. In a report to Berri Barmera Council, community development officer Andrew Haigh said it would be difficult for the region to gain suitable backing and resources within the available timeframe. “It was decided that the regional sporting bodies should be invited to a meeting later in the year to discuss the commitment towards facilitating the event,” Mr Haigh said. During the previous meeting, it was proposed that there will be an establishment of a committee to prepare documentation and obtain backing for a future bid in two years to host the 2016 South Australian Master Games.
