Forcefully removed report by
BRAD PERRY THE Wine Grape Council of South Australia plans to meet with other horticulture industry bodies to discuss a proposal to introduce legislation that in the worst case scenario, would see landowners forced to remove dead fruit trees.
Shadow Minister’s water demands page 5
With a number of properties across the Riverland home to neglected and abandoned vineyards or fruit trees, many from the recent drought, the proposal would require the plants to be maintained or removed. Currently growers whose blocks neighbour neglected vineyards or trees are concerned about disease, pests, weeds and the potential fire risk. Wine Grape Council
of South Australia executive officer Peter Hackworth said the legislation is based on laws already current in Western Australia. “We are trying to develop a mechanism that would prevent disease spreading from neglected orchards and in our case, neglected vineyards, into neighbouring properties,” he said. n Continued Page 2

Journalist’s award win skills,” he said. “With the range of sub-sections for these journalism and photography awards, the competition has been robust and more entrants are receiving due recognition. “It’s good to see the judges again had difficulty in separating the winners from a field of very high standard entries, particularly in journalism.” ABC Television’s Michael Sexton took home the major journalism award, while The Advertiser photographer Tait Schmaal won the overall photography award for the fourth time. Each journalist and photographer was asked to submit a portfolio of his or her work, published or broadcast in the 12 months to October 31, 2012.
RIVERLAND Weekly editor and journalist Brad Perry received the Best Rural Regional Print Journalist Award at the Telstra Rural Media Awards 2012 on Friday. The new sectional award was created this year for print journalists working at smaller regional publications and Mr Perry was named as the inaugural winner. Mr Perry said he was honoured to be recognised for the work he does at the Riverland Weekly. “I was surprised but very excited to receive such an award,” he said. Rural Media South Australia President Ian Doyle said many of the major award winners began their careers in regional South Australia. “They have a unique opportunity to develop a wide range of

Horticulture industries look into tree removal legislation
■ From Page 1 “There is a staged process at the end of which if the owner hasn’t been willing to undertake that then we think there should be provision to enable those diseased plants to be removed. “Clearly it’s a property owner’s responsibility so we are looking at a range of mechanisms on how that could be funded. “If somebody can’t afford to pay, then there would be a lien on the property, so when the property is sold the costs would be recovered that way.” Mr Hackworth said he will meet with other horticulture plant industry bodies in January to continue the process and put options forward for the legislation.
“It certainly has been an issue in all regions and we really are looking at putting in place a measure so if there was a really high disease risk into the future then there is a way to manage it,” he said. “What we are looking at is a process where if we’ve got diseased vines and it’s impacting on someone who is trying to stay in the industry and trying to hang in there, then they don’t need to have the initial expense of more sprays because someone either chooses not to or isn’t able to maintain their vines.” While many of the vineyards and orchards were removed through exit packages, CCW Co-operative chairman Jim Caddy said the reason more growers have since turned off water to their properties is most
likely financial hardship. “Most people who have turned them off have done it because of financial reasons and there is a fair expense to pull the vines and trees out and people just can’t afford it,” he said. “If the weeds have been left to go crazy, there is some (fire) potential and now that most people don’t work their vineyards, there is probably the potential of shifting into the next vineyards.” Mr Caddy said properties with dead trees can also have an impact on the local tourism industry. “It’s always nice to see green vineyards or trees and then you see something dead in between it, it’s never a good look,” he said. South Australian Murray Irrigators chair Caren Martin said rather
than using a “heavy handed” approach, properties with unproductive trees should be encouraged to move back into production. “In the past State Government have not been easy to work with, so with the legislation will it make it as easy as ringing someone from the State and they can help you out or is it going to be a bit more like the pest, plant and animal control where they do it for you and slap you with a big bill?” she said. “Anything that puts a financial burden back on the grower at this point in time is not very welcome because they are still recovering from drought. “Ultimately we want these blocks to go back into production, so we don’t want forced removal, we want the water turned back on and we want productive g irrigation again.
Most people who have turned them off have done it because of financial reasons. “I’d like to see more encouragement to get them productive, particularly in the Trust areas which are hooked up to world’s best practice irrigation.” Mrs Martin said many of the neglected vineyards may have been failed attempts to claim the exit packages. “I can understand the burden they are creating at the moment and that is the legacy of drought and the legacy of buy-out packages

that weren’t thought through properly,” she said. “I think you’ll find with the derelict ones that are the fire hazards and have weed problems, the people are gone and they are either blocks waiting to be sold or blocks who have already been sold.” Loxton North winegrape grower Brett Munchenberg said he has seen first hand the problems caused by neglected properties. “They will probably be an eyesore but if there is no foliage anymore, they are more of a fire risk than anything else,” he said. “We had one (an orchard) burn on into our road the other year.” Mr Munchenberg said he can see a “dead patch” of fruit trees from his property. “It does put a negative connotation over the industry but this is the

reality, if they can’t pay for it, they can’t keep doing it,” he said. An option may be to use alternative workers to assist in clearing neglected vineyards and orchards. “If the government checked into their finances and if they couldn’t afford to clear it, then maybe the government could arrange for someone to clear it through work for the dole or something similar,” he said.
LAST week I was lucky enough to take a week’s worth of holidays to Bali. While I had never been there before, the threat of the terrorist attacks was not far from my mind. Not only did I wonder about the danger level in such a country as Indonesia but I also found myself thinking about how the economy was able to recover from the 2002 bombings. While tourists stayed away for a number of months following the attacks, surely it would have been a positive attitude that helped visitors to return. So it was to my surprise that while reading two of the local newspapers, there were some strikingly negative headlines in relation to tourism. ‘Tourist numbers must be limited’, ‘Local watersports operators struggling to survive’, ‘Foreign investors dominate 80 per cent of tourism in Bali’. I then related this to our situation in the Riverland and the general positive attitude we have towards tourism since the drought. Positive reporting, where warranted, certainly makes a difference to a visitor reading a newspaper.

SARC goes into recess THE South Australian River Communities Group has gone into recess as the Murray Darling Basin Plan enters the final stages of approval. At a meeting on Tuesday, members decided the group no longer needs to operate after achieving what it set out to accomplish. South Australian River Communities group chairman Gavin McMahon said members are “re-
ally happy with the community reaction”. “We’ve resolved that SARC’s done its job and will go into recess until there is another issue of importance to deal with,” he said. “We were pretty much formed to deal with the Basin Plan and the issues with the Basin Plan for the region, so most of that has been done and while there are things still with implementation we think the reason SARC was formed has probably now passed.” Mr McMahon said the River-
land has benefited from the formation of the group. “There has been some really good outcomes,” he said. “Compulsory acquisition was something we were faced at early on and that was something that was knocked on the head. “Things like the introduction of environmental works and measures, that’s been adopted in the plan and so they were things, looking back at our first submission, that we put forward. “The Water Industry Alliance
project is certainly something that the group’s worked hard on to get up, so if water is going to leave the community, we get some recognition for it.” The Basin Plan is something the community will learn to live with, according to Mr McMahon. “I think it has been good to bring the community together, it has helped us understand the plan a lot better and I think it has been a positive conduit to get information back to government,” he said.
Barry named state’s best behind the wheel LOXTON taxi driver Barry Searle is South Australia’s best cabbie. He became the first country taxi driver to win the Adelaide Airport 2012 Taxi Driver of the Year Award at a gala dinner at Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Friday, November 30. Barry was nominated on more than one occasion by his passengers and as a result was second in the state awards for the month of September. Passengers could nominate in 25 words or less why they considered their driver provided extra service. Consideration was given to the elderly, assistance given to passengers, service to passengers with special needs, cleanliness of the car, driver knowledge and skills and wearing of uniform among other things. As a result of his passenger nominations Barry was asked to attend a community judging panel in Adelaide on November 14. He was questioned on his regular work and knowledge by solicitor Terrence Kavanagh, 5AA radio announcer John Keaneally, Senior Sergeant Lloyd Sanderson,
■ WIN: Loxton’s Barry Searle has been named 2012 Taxi Driver of the Year. Photo: BEV STORY
from SAPOL and SA Taxis chairman Brian Hemming. The award win stunned Barry who nearly didn’t attend the award ceremony – thinking he was only invited to collect his September prize of $500. However, he and his wife Rita were shocked when he was announced the winner of the major award earning him the $5000 prize. While he is not sure who nominated him, Barry would like to thank all of those who did. “I would like to thank the person who nominated me for the award,” he said.
Taxi driving was a career change for Barry after he was made redundant by Elders, who he had been employed by for 43 years. He started driving for Loxton Taxis three and a half years ago on a part time basis but now mans the taxi phone around the clock. Despite recently turning 69 Barry has no intention of giving taxi driving away, enjoying meeting people as well as seeing all of his regular clients. “I take blood from Loxton Hospital to the IMVS in Berri, I meet the air ambulance, I man the phone 24 hours a
day,” he said. “Most of the trips are taking the oldies to and from shopping, the hairdressers and the doctors. “I have got the regulars each week. “I am up at 6am every morning but then the phone rings and I start work.” However, Barry said work isn’t continual and he gets to snooze for an hour and have a bit of a break at various times throughout the day. This year’s awards were launched on July 25 with first, second and third prizes named for August, September and October and more than 2400 drivers nominated. From those, six were selected to be interviewed by the panel for the major award. Loxton Taxis owners Deb Wilkie and Dean Pocock said they believe two of Barry’s greatest strengths as a taxi driver are that he has lived in the Riverland since 1966 and so knows his way around and knows lots of people. On top of that he is courteous and provides great service to his customers.
Riverland irrigators feature in “controversial and provocative” documentary SUNLANDS irrigators Mark and Louise Doecke featured in a “controversial and provocative” documentary titled Muddied Waters: A Clear Solution which aired on national television on Sunday. The documentary, which was funded by community donations, screened on Channel 7Two. Co-produced by retired journalist Ken Jury and Wayne Groom, the hour long documentary “exposes flaws in the 2007 Water Act, reveals the difficulties in sending down large environmental flows and questions the validity of maintaining the Lower Lakes in South Australia as a freshwater lake”. Mr Doecke said he agreed to
participate in the documentary as he is sick of the misinformation in the public and wanted to “help get the truth out there”. “There is so much misinformation out there, especially in South Australia, about how the upper river should be all allowed to run to the Lower Lakes,” he said. “They just came and filmed us as we were doing some top work-
ing and they were asking about water security and whether they thought the basin plan will give us any more water security and I said ‘no’ I don’t think so as we are all subject to the next “greenie” whim. “I had a paragraph in there and I just said ‘the Basin Plan was wrongly conceived because they assessed the health of the basin in the middle of the worst drought ever and of course, if you assess something that hasn’t got any water the result will be that it needs more water.” Doecke said those involved in making the documentary were not associated to any particular group and did not have an “agenda”.
“They are not paid by anybody to push their point, they are just genuine Australians living on the river so they’ve got local knowledge,” he said. Documentary director Kent Smith said he is passionate about the project. “Everyone agrees we need a healthy river but there seemed to be so much information out there I felt it was important to make a documentary that also looked at the ‘hidden’ issues, asked the tough questions and allowed people to form an opinion based on a broader coverage of the facts and not just the tsunami of ‘spin’ trotted out by all sides of politics,” he said.

Food and wine industry discussion paper released THE State Government is inviting industry and community stakeholders to have their say about how South Australia’s food and wine industry can grow, both locally, interstate and in key markets overseas. Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Gail Gago said a discussion paper about the State Government’s strategic priority of Premium Food and Wine from our Clean Environment has been produced to stimulate feedback. “This paper introduces the priority to industry and stakeholders and establishes a framework for its implementation for the benefit of all South Australians,” Ms Gago said. “The paper presents the current thinking on how Government, industry and the community can work together to foster growth in the South Australian food and wine sector. “What we are now seeking is feedback on the areas identified to successfully deliver this initiative. “We know South Australians have a very passionate food culture, and we want to work together to capitalise on opportunities and also come together for the challenges ahead in boosting our food and wine sector.

Rebuild pushes forward APPLICANTS to the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund will find out whether they are successful in just days. Regional Development Minister Gail Gago has assured applicants that an announcement will be made in 2012 despite concerns from the public that the decision may be delayed until 2013. It is expected the Minister will make an announcement next week. “An announcement will occur before the end of the year,” she told the Riverland Weekly. However, the wait has been long for the Waikerie Hotel, which was significantly damaged
during a fire last year. The hotel currently has an application with the fund but has decided to push ahead with the rebuilding project before finding out whether it has been successful for grant funding. Waikerie Hotel chairman Graeme Thompson said engineers and surveyors were confirmed following a board meeting on Monday. “We have just had to proceed without that (Futures Funding) because the Minister was unable to give us a decision,” Mr Thompson said. “We are just proceeding and rebuilding with our insurance money and if we are able to get
Riverland Futures Funding, then it will just enhance the project.” A copy of the new design is located in the hotel’s foyer which will need approval from the Loxton Waikerie Council before building begins in late March to early April. “The architect Mark Folland believes that the major construction can be achieved in around nine months,” Mr Thompson said. Soil surveys and preliminary work will be carried out prior to Christmas, while a list of local trade and service people is collaborated with applications being taken at the hotel. Minister Gago said applicants
are aware of the rules and regulations for the fund. “The applications are processed by an assessment panel in PIRSA,” she said. “Applicants receive confirmation of receipt of their application. “Applicants are made aware that any funds spent on their project prior to funding being allocated is at their own risk.” The Renmark Club is another project which has applied to the fund and has confirmed that works will go ahead before knowing whether it will receive part of the remaining $10 million.

THE Mid Murray Council is waiting on a State Government report into riverbanks along the River Murray to offer solutions on the risk of collapse. In an article in The Advertiser on Friday, it was stated that the Save the River Murray Fund report highlights that there is a high risk of collapse in areas between Blanchetown and Wellington. However, Mid Murray Council mayor Dave Burgess said he is yet to see the report and is still awaiting its release to council.
“We hope the report that comes out will give some solutions to the problems we’ve had,” he said. With water levels dropping so low during the drought, Mr Burgess said many areas, particularly in Mannum and Murray Bridge were subject to riverbank collapse. “It has been a long, long time since the river has gone down that low,” he said. “If it does start to go down we’ve got to be more vigilant to-

River Murray Shadow Minister demands reward for locals
Water revenue must go to river communities RIVER MURRAY shadow Minister Vickie Chapman has called on the State Government to guarantee revenue from all River Murray licenses sold or returned to the Commonwealth under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan go to Riverland communities. Ms Chapman, who was in the region on Tuesday and yesterday, said South Australia’s commitment under the Basin Plan is to return 20 gigalitres of water per annum through SA Water. “My view is that those licenses were acquired when local people here were on their knees and it’s appropriate that upon the sale back to the Commonwealth, which of course is part of our commit-
ment under the Basin Plan, that the proceeds of that go back into this district,� she told the Riverland Weekly. “The actual people themselves that sold their licenses got some payment in adverse circumstances when they were on their knees but the whole community has suffered and the whole community should have the recognition and the repayment.� Ms Chapman said she is urging the State Government to consider this option. “I’ve made that commitment and I expect the government to do it,� she said. “This is a very simple one, it’s either money that’s going into Adelaide’s bank account or
the river communities’ bank account.� During Ms Chapman’s visit, she met with groups including the South Australian River Communities members, toured Chowilla and discussed the Ral Ral Floodplain project. Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for the River Murray Tim Whetstone said that while individuals benefit from a one-off payment from water buybacks, the community they lived in did not receive an ongoing benefit. “People in river communities do not want handouts but they do want support to ensure their community is sustainable and successful,� Mr Whetstone said.

Riverland included in wine tourism plans? THE region’s peak tourism body is hoping a newly announced partnership between Tourism Australia and Wine Australia to attract international tourists into the country will include the Riverland. While it is likely that regions such as the Barossa Valley in South Australia and the Hunter Valley in New South Wales will be heavily promoted as part of the project, Destination Riverland executive officer Tony Sharley said he hopes Australia’s largest wine producing region will also be included. A new three year Memorandum of Understanding between the tourism and wine organisations was signed last week to promote key markets such as China, USA, UK and Canada from January 1, 2013. The two organisations will partner on a range of marketing activities such as advertising and consumer promotions, digital marketing, public relations and special events. A Tourism Australia spokesperson said it is too early to confirm which areas will be involved in the promotion. “The intention is that

Vintage Truck ■PROJECT: Destination Riverland is hopeful the region will benefit from a new partnership between Tourism Australia and Wine Australia. Tourism Australia and Wine Australia will work with the respective state and regional bodies (i.e. state tourism organisations and regional wine associations) to identify cooperative marketing opportunities,� they said. “The agreement comes in to place from January 1, 2013, so these discussions will most likely take place from that time on after which time we will have further details on how specific wine regions will be promoted. “Certainly though, all wine regions will have the potential to benefit from the potential exposure generated by the partnership.� Mr Sharley said currently there is a lot happening in
the region to help build the Riverland’s wine reputation. “These things don’t happen overnight but at the same time what we need to do is make sure groups like Tourism Australia know about what we are achieving in the wine world,� he said. “It’s very appropriate to refer to the Riverland as Australia’s most popular wine given it’s something like one in four glasses consumed in Australia has got Riverland wine in it.� Currently Destination Riverland is in discussions with the Riverland Wine Industry Development Council about linking websites to enhance the visitor’s wine and food experience.
â– SHOP: Fires were deliberately lit in industrial bins at the Riverland Plaza in Berri yesterday. POLICE are seeking witnesses in relation to a number of deliberately lit fires around the Berri central business district during the early hours of yesterday morning. A number of industrial bins at the Riverland Plaza in Berri had their contents set alight as well as a further industrial bin in a laneway behind the Repco store on Vaughan Terrace. Police and emergency services also attended to a fire in a laneway off Denny Street where it appears that a number of wheelie bins were destroyed by fire. Minor damage was caused to the exterior brick wall of a shop. A wheelie bin on Wade Street also appears to have been destroyed by fire which has then burnt some pine posts of a bench nearby.

Challenging season for stonefruit growers By STEPHANIE GROPLER RIVERLAND stonefruit growers are facing a difficult season with low prices and oversupply despite producing high quality fruit. While the industry peak body said near ideal growing conditions would make it “a great summer of stonefruit”, local growers remain cautious about the coming harvest. South Australian Fresh Fruit Growers Association chairman Dino Ceracchi said consumers would benefit from lower prices. “The crops are quite heavy throughout the country, there have been no bad rain events to knock things around,” Mr Ceracchi said. “The oversupplying is causing quite a drop in prices, particularly with white nectarines as they are one of those varieties that grossly over supplied early in the season.”
Mr Ceracchi said he is seven weeks into the season that will last until the middle of March. He said it was disappointing that prices didn’t reflect the good quality fruit being grown in the ideal weather conditions. “We all have had such a dream run with weather and right on the onset of having good crops and chilling hours through the winter, everything has cropped well across the board,” he said. “Rain events can destroy half your crop just by markings on the fruit, there has been very very little of that.” Mr Ceracchi also said that while the weather has been favourable, it has not been hot enough to get consumers really hungry for fruit. Bookpurnong stonefruit grower Jason Size said weather conditions have been excellent and he remains
hopeful it can stay that way for the rest of the season. Mr Size said the quality of the fruit this season was high, however, low prices were disheartening and encouraged consumers to shop around. Summerfruit Australia chairman Mark Wilkinson said there is an abundance of stonefruit. “Orchardists, particularly in cooler areas of Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, are now relying on warm, dry days of summer to perfect the harvest,” he said. “As the weather warms up, consumers can expect an excellent crop of stonefruit with harvest tonnages on par with last season.” About 800 growers in 26 regions across the country produce more than 100,000 tonnes of nectarines, plums, apricots and peaches from October to April next year.

Mature age student shows it is never too late to study
■ PROUD: Riverlander Bob Suchenko prepares a table in the TAFE SA Berri Training Restaurant. IT IS never too late to study, as mature age student Bob Suchenko can attest. Mr Suchenko arrived at TAFE SA’s Berri Campus with limited schooling but with a willingness to have a go and enrolled in the Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program (LLNP). “I left school during Year 9 and had always struggled with maths and spelling.” he said. “The LLNP course helped me to gain the skills which I didn’t learn at school. “My spelling has improved 100 per cent.” During the course the class took part in a cocktail making session run by TAFE SA Hospitality lecturer Wendy Hunyadi, who noticed that Mr Suchenko had a flair for mixing drinks and engaging with other people. “Bob did so well in the cocktail making session that I suggested he should enroll in the Certificate II in Hospitality, which he did”, Mrs Hunyadi said. “He arrived first to class every day. “His work was always completed on time and his spelling and writing were excellent. “Bob blossomed throughout the course as his confidence and abilities improved. He was a pleasure to have in the class and he worked really well with his classmates.” Throughout the course Bob really enjoyed the camaraderie of his classmates and he demonstrated his team skills working at both the Chefs of the Murray event and during the opening of the TAFE SA Berri Campus Training Restaurant. “I really enjoyed those experiences and being able to put into practice all the hospitality skills I have learnt during my course, including how to pour a beer correctly, table service, workplace safety and bar skills. I like working in a team and being able to help others,” Mr Suchenko said. Mr Suchenko has gained employment at the Renmark Hotel as a casual groundskeeper/ bar attendant and is looking forward to the busy Christmas and New Year period. He is adamant that completing the LLNP class is the key to his success. “ “Early in the semester we had to complete a Literacy and Maths Skills Test and I achieved high scores because I was able to understand the questions,” he said. “I also gained the confidence to apply for the hospitality course and now I am looking at a bright future.”

Peak body targets Loxton as area needing trainers
Swimming shortage By STEPHANIE GROPLER LOXTON has been targeted as an area of concern from a national peak swimming industry body due to a shortage of accredited teachers. AUSTSWIM will conduct courses in Loxton beginning today after the area was highlighted as not having enough qualified swimming trainers and therefore impacting on the number of children learning to swim. AUSTSWIM south Australian co-ordinator Julie Wilson said a shortage of swimming instructors may impact on the number of children drowning due to a lack of knowledge in water safety. An Office of Sport and Recreation study has stated there was a direct link between a shortage of swimming schools and drownings
in regional areas. Mrs Wilson said the training is vital for the region and there has been a shortage of instructors available to deliver the VACSWIM and school programs.
The more children you can get into swimming lessons, the better.
“There is so much water that children have access to but obviously the more children you can get into swimming lessons, the better,” Mrs Wilson said. The 10 positions available
for the course were quickly filled and extra spots have been made available. After training is complete, instructors are required to do voluntary teaching until they become confident to go forward solo and they are then assessed. The course is nationally accredited and is linked to both a certificate three in aquatics and certificate three in recreation. Instructors must be over the age of 16 and Mrs Wilson said this year there were also a number of back to work mothers becoming involved. Mrs Wilson also advised to check with swimming schools if they are AUSTSWIM accredited before starting lessons as there are still instructors teaching without training in some areas.
Local Government Association welcomes bus seatbelt funding THE Local Government Association has welcomed news from the Federal Government that it has opened the next round of funding for seat belts on regional school buses. LGA President Mayor Kym McHugh said the organisation had for many years called on the State and Federal Governments to recognise the safety of regional school children travelling to and from school. In 2010, following a series of letters to the State Minister for Education, the LGA, in conjunction with the
South Australian Regional Organisation of Councils and Regional LGAs, developed a regional strategy for rural and regional Councils to focus attention on the dangers facing rural children travelling on school buses. “We are pleased that the Federal Government has announced another round of funding under the National Road Safety Strategy 2011-20 to reduce the risk to country school kids,” he said. “The LGA encourages all regional school bus operators, who have a contract with the State Government to pro-
vide services on recognised regional school bus routes, to apply for funding to retrofit seatbelts on existing buses or to fit these essential safety devices.” Mayor McHugh said the Seatbelts on Regional School Buses program will assist school bus operators to upgrade the safety of their buses. “Funding applications close on February 4 2013, offering up to $25,000 per bus to subsidise seatbelt installation and I hope that many applications for these funds are made from South Australia,” he said.
■ WORLD CLASS: Bamera Country Club general manager Devon Suckling with the eight new electric golf carts that arrived on Friday morning.
Bamera Club gets world class carts BAMERA Country Club now has international standard golf carts following the delivery of eight new carts on Friday morning. The electric golf carts are the same as those used on the top 10 golf courses in the world and are in use at the Augusta National, as well as city clubs such as Royal Adelaide, Grange and Glenelg golf courses. General manager Devon Suckling said the club was investing more than of $60,000 on the carts as part of its plans to upgrade the facilities at the venue and target golfing tourism. “We work very closely with the golf club and we decided to make the investment,” Mr Suckling said.
“We have significant potential to develop group play and golfing parties into the Riverland.” The club was also keeping two of its previous carts. “We will have a fleet of 10 which is double the size of the fleet that we have had,” Mr Suckling said. “That enables us to cater for those playing groups and that market which is part of our ongoing commitment to upgrading the facilities. “The course now is in the finest nick. “The same could be said of the 12 tennis courts. “We will be planning to build business around both of these facilities.”

Big crowd at pageant By STEPHANIE GROPLER MORE than 5000 people turned out to the 2012 Renmark Club Christmas Pageant on Friday night with organisers hailing the event as a major success. Those in attendance were once again delighted by the fireworks display, sideshows and attractions with plenty to see and do for all ages. Renmark Christmas Pageant Committee member Rhiannon Pinyon said she was pleased with the attendance despite the hot weather. “It was a really good night,” she said. “We had a lot of food vendors and variety and a few more market type stalls as well that seemed
popular,” Mrs Pinyon said. She said the fireworks over the river were spectacular with plenty of young faces on hand. “Tinsel the Reindeer did his performance and the kids seemed to really enjoy that,” she said. “There were over 35 floats with the friendly rivalry between Glen View Poultry Farm and Devilee’s Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration still clear, however Glen View Poultry took the top honour taking out the most outstanding float award”. Other winners included Renmark Paringa Hospital in the not-for-profit, community or sporting organistion category and Mitre 10 Renmark in the best Christmas themed float category.

Major still calls Berri home FORMER Berri man Peter Amaricai is making his way home from Timor Leste after completing a fourmonth deployment to Operation ASTUTE in Dili. Now an officer in the Australian Army, Major Amaricai, a former Glossop High School student, joined the Army in 1993 and is on his second operational deployment after previously serving with the United Nations as a Military Observer in Sudan in 2009. Major Amaricai is currently posted as the project manager at Doctrine Wing, Army Knowledge Group, Land Warfare Development Centre at Puckapunyal in Victoria. He said his deployment has been enjoyable but he was looking forward to getting home for Christmas with his wife Melissa, daughter Olivia, son Ben and walking his two beagles ‘Lucy’ and ‘Kizmet’. “It’s been a very fulfilling role on this deployment but it will be nice to get home and be there for my daughter Olivia’s first birthday and play soccer again with my son Ben in the backyard,”
Major Amaricai said. “I operate out of Camp Phoenix at the Joint Task Force Headquarters in a plans role where I provide information operations support to the International Stabilisation Force. “The people I work with are highly professional and capable and this has made my experience in Timor Leste absolutely fantastic. “Learning about the local Timorese people and the hardships they had to overcome on their journey to nationhood has been humbling and inspirational. “There is so much hope in this country and it is an honour to be a part of the Australian team that has worked so hard over a decade or so to bring peace and stability.” Major Amaricai has had an eventful deployment out of the office and has run a marathon around Camp Phoenix and called on his experience as a Football Federation Victoria referee to blow the whistle in an ADF versus local community soccer match and other friendly games. “I also climbed Mt Ramelau

(2964m), attended the Special Olympics in Dili, visited Balibo where the five Australian-based journalists were killed in 1975 but most importantly, I enjoyed the community engagement pa-
trols and visiting the St Bakhita Children’s Orphanage,” Major Amaricai said. Though he has moved around the country with the army, Peter said he still calls Berri home and
holds the Adelaide Crows close to heart. “I try to visit the Riverland at least once a year,” he said. “I have great memories from my younger years, in particular my Army Reserve and Army Cadet days in Berri, which were great formative experiences,” he added. Timor Leste began an exciting new chapter in its history when the Australian-led International Stabilisation Force (ISF) ceased security operations on November 22. After more than six years of supporting the East Timor security forces, the ISF role has changed to the redeployment of its people and equipment to Australia and New Zealand. ISF troops started to depart East Timor in late November and bases will be remediated for handover by mid-2013.

P et s
Xmas left over caution
■ READING: Riverland Vietnam Veterans’ Association member Trevor Richardson with author Doctor Glen Edwards (front) outside the war memorial in the main street of Berri with a copy of his book Beyond Dark Clouds.
Promoting the issue of mental health FOLLOWING the launch of his book Beyond Dark Clouds in the Riverland recently, the local Vietnam Veterans’ Association will discuss the possibility of a return visit for the author. Doctor Glen Edwards launched his book, which features a local veteran, in the Berri Library, while also visiting high schools in Loxton, Glossop and Renmark. The reception was so strong that the Riverland Vietnam Veterans’ Association is considering inviting Dr Edwards back to the region to talk in front of a bigger audience. “If we can get the Chaffey Theatre or something like that to hold a few people and just invite the Riverland to listen to Glen because he’s got a very, very strong and powerful message to give to people,” Riverland Vietnam Veterans’ Association member Trevor Richardson said. Almost 800 children, teachers and staff at the local high schools listened to Dr Edwards speak. “What I’m trying to do is promote the issue of mental health and people with depression, anxiety, stress and trauma, not just Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),” he said. “They (students) are like sponges, they take this all in, they do understand and they are our future. “One of the important things is I didn’t stand up there as a 65-year-old and tell the students ‘this is what you should be doing’. “I took quotes from the book and I invited students to come up and each of them read a quote from the book, so that it was the students talking to their peers.” Dr Edwards said he was intrigued to find out more about the families of veterans following his first book Vietnam: The War Within.
“The first book with the Vietnam veterans, they talked about their lives and about how they came from the war and the trauma that happened and that was 20 years ago,” he said. “So I decided that I wanted to look at it again but this time I wanted to look at the wives’ story and the children’s story because I had great concern about the children and whether or not they were picking up the symptoms that their father had, not sleeping, walking around the house, going into isolation. “The people I was interviewing were talking about things
and I started to realise they had messages to give to society about how to cope, what worked for them and what didn’t work. “The book became more than just about their lives it became an educational and a historical document.” It is not only war veterans who are traumatised and Dr Edwards said many people in different roles can be impacted. “Police officers, ambulance officers, emergency service personnel, doctors, nurses, they see terrible things, they are stressed, they are traumatised,” he said.
WITH the festive season underway, pet owners including their four legged friends in Christmas cheer are being urged to exercise caution when sharing their leftovers. Treating animals that have contracted diet related illness from consuming human foods has become an unfortunate Christmas tradition. Specialist veterinarian Dr Rod Straw said the community needed to be better educated about the serious risks of feeding pets leftovers. “Diet related illness, such as pancreatitis, is one of the most common but also easily avoidable health problems,” he said. “Unfortunately many pet owners don’t understand that human foods pose problems for pets or think they are acceptable in small amounts. “There are some common foods that can have potentially fatal health effects on your pet.” To help pet owners avoid an emergency trip to the vet this Christmas, Dr Straw has put together a list of Christmas foods harmful to pets:
Macadamia nuts • Can be toxic to dogs. Symptoms will likely occur within 12 hours and can include vomiting, hyperthermia and elevated heart rate.
Chocolate • May be toxic or lethal to dogs and other domestic animals,
even in small quantities.
Avocados • Contain a dangerous toxin which can damage the heart, lungs and tissue of many different animals.
Onions and garlic • Can cause gastric irritation and anaemia if they consume these vegetables in large quantities.
Grapes and raisins • Can cause severe acute kidney failure.
Turkey skin, pork crackling, sausages and other fatty meats • Can lead to pancreatitis due to the high fat content. Dr Straw said as a general rule people should avoid feeding human foods to their pets. “The safest and most nutritious food you can feed your animal is good quality pet food,” he said. “There are many different Christmas themed pet treats on the market which are often more appealing to animals than human foods and will ensure your pet doesn’t miss out on any festive fun.” Dr Straw advises pet owners who suspect their pet may have eaten something toxic to contact a veterinarian or a veterinary specialist immediately.

BERRI BARMERA MERA LAP & RIVERLAND WEST LANDCAR LANDCARE UPDATE
From your Project Managers
W
elcome to the Christmas edition of the Berri Barmera LAP/ AP/ Riverland West Landcare update. ate. Well what a year it has been, prolonged ged high river flows with plenty of water on the floodplain, offset by below average rainfall fall for most of the year. We thought we would try something ing different this update and with photographs phs showcase a summary of just some of the projects and activities we achieved over the last 12 months. Some of the highlights of the year include: · The Lowbank Ag Bureau low soil disturturbance crop trials. The crops have now been harvested and to date, over 600 people have visited the trial site · The SA MDBNRM Weed Warriors program was successfully run again with Ramco Primary joining in for the first time. Leaf hoppers were released at locations in Ramco and Maize Island · Walk for a healthy Hart – this was a free community event to introduce volunteers to wetland health and maintenance · WPS Youth Environment Team and Ramco Environment Group joined forces to propagate over 300 seedlings for the Banrock Station revegetation project. · Waikerie High students ‘discover’ Hart lagoon and participate in several field trips for their year 11/12 research projects · Community bus tour held which took in Hogwash Bend (Regent parrot recovery project), Ramco lagoon (decommissioning of tracks), Hart lagoon (bird hide re-build) and finished with drinks and nibbles at the Riverview bush tucker garden at Illalangi · Barmera Primary School once again held a very successful environmental expo, and for the first time taking it on the road to other schools in the Riverland. · Completing the new wetland regulating structure at Martin Bend. · Undertaking weed mapping and control measures at local wetlands, and having community groups “put their hand up” to continue this work into the future · Providing training to volunteers in seed collection and propagation · Developing a new project with Winkie Primary School connecting students with native fish and their habitats · Undertaking on-ground works at Loveday and Overland Corner.
This is, of course, only a small sample of the work that has been done and there is lots more already planned for 2013. We do know that we will be spending a fair bit of time out on our wetlands installing monitoring markers and repairing photopoints and piezometers, so feel free to invite yourself along and get to enjoy some of the best spots in the Riverland whilst we undertake these works. From all of us at Berri Barmera LAP and Riverland West Landcare, we hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing you in 2013.

Lions Christmas wrapping THE Lions Club of Renmark will again be providing a Christmas present wrapping service at the Renmark Plaza during the 12 days leading up to Christmas Day. The service will be provided during each day (and some evenings during late night shopping) in the centre
of the shopping mall at Renmark Plaza from today. The club is hoping for a gold coin donation for each present wrapped. Lions Club of Renmark president Colin Pettigrew said “our club is pleased to again be able to provide this Christmas wrapping service”.
“This follows a successful service given by members and partners of our club in partnership with the Plaza centre management at this location over the past three years,” he said. “All funds raised will go towards community projects undertaken by our club.”

DESCENDENTS of Johannes and Pauline Milich gathered in Loxton last month to celebrate the arrival of their ancestors to the town of Pyap. A walk was held at the Loxton Cemetery where Johannes and Pauline Milich and their children’s graves were marked for easy identification. Following a dinner on Saturday, relatives and friends met at Pyap on Sunday to witness the unveiling of the monument by the oldest family member present from each ‘branch’ of the Milich family tree. The descendents were Leon Bradtke, Dot Dougherty, Bob Ernst, Rhonda Froud, Marlene Manning, ‘Blue’ Milich, Keith Milich, Robert Milich and Wendy Sharpen. Grant ‘Wally’ Milich was the MC for the event. Member for Chaffey, Tim Whetstone, Loxton Waikerie Mayor Leon Stasinowsky

A number of local businesses and individuals received certificates for contributions towards the monument. Relatives and friends then met at the Loxton Lutheran School for a pooled lunch. Andrew Milich had his
historic river steamboat collection on display and Quentin ‘Mick’ Tschirpig entertained those present with a whip cracking demonstration. The monument was the brainchild of Denise (nee Milich) and Mark Van Oostveen, who saw “a need for a permanent reminder to inform future generations of their pioneering families achievements before the ones that do remember are no longer with us”.

one set of fees instead of several.
WE ALL know the festive season is a time for giving and a time for sharing but could it also be the time of tidying? As the year draws to a close, we seem to be doing everything from tidying our work desks before heading off for a relaxing break, to tidying up after the seemingly endless string of Christmas parties. It makes sense that this could also be the perfect time for people to tidy up their superannuation. It’s a common story. People change jobs over the years and a new job can often bring a new super account. You say you’ll get around to consolidating into one fund but time goes by and before you know it you’re receiving multiple super statements and possibly even paying multiple administration fees. There are a few advantages to consolidating your super into one fund.
Save time – Consolidating makes managing super easier. One fund means one set of paperwork to keep track of, and more time for people to do the things they want to do.
Save money – Paying just one set of fees and charges could save people money. With one fund, people pay
Maximise your investment – Having money in one fund could mean people are better placed to manage their super’s investment strategy and asset allocation. It’s important to do some research before deciding whether or not to consolidate super funds. A good place for people to start is to contact their funds and find out what their current benefits are and what will happen if they transfer their money to another fund. They should also make sure they find out if they’ll be charged transfer, withdrawal or exit fees. People can then compare the fees and investment options available in their main fund to those in their other funds. People should include all fees that may be charged when they transfer. If people’s current funds pro-
vide them with insurance cover, they should find out what will happen to the cover when they transfer. By checking and comparing the levels of cover in their new fund they can ensure they are still happy with the overall cover provided. Armed with this information, people are then in a good position to decide whether it’s best for them to transfer or not. The process might seem daunting but in fact most superannuation funds make consolidating or “rolling over” superannuation into one fund very easy. In most cases, people need to provide their chosen fund with the details of their other super accounts, and the fund will do the rest of the work. A small “tidying” job now could make a significant difference to people’s retirement funds in the long-term. *Craig Rashleigh is an Authorised Representative of AMP Financial Planning Pty Ltd, ABN 89 051 208 327, AFS Licence No. 232706.

High croaking levels
HIGH water levels at a number of permanent and temporary wetlands in the Riverland have resulted in a good response to a frog survey. The frog surveys conducted by Natural Resources – SA Murray-Darling Basin (NR SAMDB) heard and recorded up to six species at a number of wetlands across the region. Frogs are identified during the surveys by recording their calls, which helps program officers to recognise the individual frog species. Species heard include the Eastern Banjo Frog, Perons Tree Frog, Longthumbed Frog, Spotted FEATURE
Grass Frog, Eastern Signbearing Frog and Southern Bell Frog. These species, with the exception of the Southern Bell Frog, may be commonly heard along the River Murray and in wetlands across the region. The Southern Bell Frog was recorded at three sites and is a species of conservation significance listed as vulnerable in SA and nationally. Some species, such as the Perons Tree Frog, may only be recorded when temperatures exceed 20ËšC, while the Southern Bell Frog is typically heard in summer months. Few tadpoles have been
observed so far, however further monitoring throughout summer will help determine whether a significant recruitment event has occurred this year. Over the past two years, there have been high frog numbers recorded across the region from a range of species. Flooding is likely to have promoted the establishment of favourable habitat and breeding areas which may have promoted this response. The next round of frog surveys is scheduled for this month. For further information contact the NR SA MDB on 8580 1800
â– CROAKING: The Southern Bell Frog has been recorded at three sites along the River Murray and in wetlands.
Counsellor loses hair for a good cause RIVERLAND Division of General Practice clinical counsellor Carley Milich recently shaved her hair off in a bid to raise extra funds for the Cancer Council. In the lead up to this year’s Relay for Life, RDGP held a fundraiser in Berri, where Carley (pictured) lost her locks. “It has been on my bucket-list to do this but I wanted to make it worth my while,� she said. “The Cancer Council was a great support to my Uncle Red, who transferred from outback NSW to stay in Adelaide for treatment of his brain tumour.� RDGP raised over $800 at the event and donated most of Carley’s hair to the Hairific Hair Salon at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where it will be made into a wig to benefit someone in need.

Lameroo Pageant
Family entertainment galore at Lameroo Pageant JUST days before Christmas is offiically upon the town of Lameroo, the small Mallee community will hold its annual pageant on Friday, December 23. With about 300 people expected to attend, new Lameroo Apex Club president Adam Berwick said there is much to do for the whole family. “The bulk of the town attend,” he said. The pageant will kick off at 6pm on the main street, Railway Terrace North and will feature the arrival of father Christmas. After the pageant Santa will be in his cave in front of the council chambers for a couple of hours. Children visiting him can expect a real treat - as they will be given showbags containing items donated from various businesses in the town. There is usually 15 to 20 floats in the pageant and that provides much of the entertainment for the night, with people getting a laugh at seeing others they know dressed up and on the floats. “It is a little bit of fun - local business people putting their own floats together and the kids having a ball,” Mr Berwick said. There will also be other entertainment with the local choir and school band
both performing and face painting also an option for the children. Local pilot Kevin Traeger will once again do a fly-by of the town and a children’s movie will be shown in the Lameroo Institute. Among the food stalls will be the CWA selling fruit salad and icecream, one from Mallee Mums and Bubs and a Rotary barbecue.
It is a llittle bit of fun local business people putting their own floats together.
Mr Berwick said some of the district’s farmers were already finished harvest and therefore expected the family to attend. “The bulk of the farmers will be finished harvest by then, some are already finished now,” he said. Once again Lameroo and Pinnaroo pageant organisers have worked together to ensure that the two Mallee town’s Christmas events didn’t have a clash of dates.
“We try and work in with Pinnaroo so we can generally support each other,” Mr Berwick said. Railway Terrace North will be closed between 6pm and 9pm to ensure the safety of those attending the pageant, watching the entertainment and taking advantage of those shops which stay open later for last minute Christmas shopping. “Some shops will be trading but that is up to their own discretion, but they generally do,” Mr Berwick said. A couple of Lameroo children are likely to get an extra Christmas present this year with two pocket motor bikes the prizes in an Apex Club raffle. The club, which organises the town’s annual Christmas pageant, has a two-wheel and a four-wheel pocket bike as the first and second prize in a raffle to be drawn on on pageant night Friday, December 23. Tickets are $3 each or two for $5. Mr Berwick said the holder of the first ticket drawn will have their choice of the two or four wheeler, with the second ticket drawn winning the other. Anyone wanting to take a look at the bikes can view them at Mallee Tyres where they are on display.

â&#x2013; READY: Renmark baseballer Jesse Stemberger is ready to take on the competition after being selected in the under 19 state team. â&#x2013; From Page 32 â&#x20AC;&#x153;By doing this hopefully I can encourage more younger kids to become involved,â&#x20AC;? he said. Known as an all-rounder, fielding on first base, pitch-
ing and being handy with the bat, Stemberger hopes to continue to improve and push into the senior Adelaide Bite team in the future. Stembergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother-inlaw and former coach Jason MacGregor said the young
baseballer has worked hard on his game both on and off the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has improved so much over the past 12 months,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physically heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting bigger and stronger (as well).â&#x20AC;?
Loxton still in the finals hunt? â&#x2013; IN Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baseball all three games were held at Glassey Park. Top side Renmark Blue comfortably defeated the Renmark development team, White 14-1, Lyrup continued to grow as a force with an impressive 14-2 win over Berri Blue, and in the game of the night, Berri Red defeated Loxton 12-6. The Lyrup performance was clinical, highlighted by good batting depth through the likes of Darren BartonAncliffe, Ben Tanner and Shane Healy, along with some great base running. In the Berri Red, Loxton clash, Loxton really tested the defending champion from the opening pitch and only the Berri teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hitting power and all-round input of Nick Kuhn was the difference between the teams in the end. Leading 12-6 entering the third innings, the introduction of Steven Goldspink onto the mound for the first time this season for the Warriors and a rejuvenated Steve Dack taking over for the Wildcats saw excellent pitching. Steely defence from both teams resulted in a stalemate as far as further scoring was concerned. All the talk is about a looming Renmark Blue versus Berri Red grand final for the title but there is perhaps enough in the Lyrup and Loxton performances to suggest that there is still a lot of baseball to be played in the back end of the 2012/13.
â&#x2013; GREAT HIT: Waikerie softballer Bethany Smith hits out during the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match against Lyrup. Photos: GRANT SCHWARTZKOPFF
Looking at Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball there was indeed a touch of finals type competition when reigning champion Loxton won a tough, low scoring clash against ladder leader Berri 3-2. Pitcher Cara Venning, Tyler Flood and Kelly Westley stood out for Loxton with Berri best served by Kris Taylor, Tam Benham and Toni Hayes. In contrast to that game it rained runs when Waikerie (James Smith, Nick Hocking, Bethany Smith) defeated Lyrup (Kerry Hartup, Ryan Thiele, Deeanna Holtham) 21-7. Berri, Loxton A and Cobdogla B are now only separated at the top of the ladder by percentage with all having five wins from six games for 10 points. These teams will split into an A grade section from this week with Loxton having

That will mean Loxton B and Lyrup, four points, and Waikerie and Cobdogla A, two points, will comprise a B grade competition. Loxton plays Lyrup and Waikerie versus Cobdogla on Saturday.
Loxton Field and Game Club holds annual Christmas novelty event â&#x2013; THE high pressure associated with the regular monthly competitions at the Loxton Field and Game range was a notable absentee when the traditional Christmas Novelty event was held last Saturday. Also traditional for this annual competition is a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of fun and laughter as, a priority for the usual safety standards aside, the Sporting Clays Rule Book is tossed aside and those responsible for the placement of the targets aim to confuse and amuse.
This day is also an ideal opportunity for novices of sporting clays shooting to have a try with the thought that when the 2013 program gets underway next February there may be newcomers taking aim. As far as Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting was concerned, club stalwart Kev Nickolai was like Father Christmas on his delivery round when left with a win in the A grade of both the Novelty competition with a score of 52/60 and a down the line 20 target event with 11/20 as well as the Club Championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award
for 2012. Runner-up in the A grade of the Novelty competition was Adelaide visitor Darren Randal (49/60), while the B grade went to John Page and C grade was won by young Renmark member Matt Redway. The B grade of the down the line event was won by club president Rick Gibbs and C grade was also won by Matt Redway. Another tradition, the annual free dinner and Christmas party concluded the day for local and visiting shooters.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON
Region four selection to defend bowls title ■ THE Region Four men’s bowls selection panel will meet after the zone’s annual match against Upper North at Jamestown on Sunday, January 6, to choose the team to defend its title at the 2013 Round Robin tournament in Adelaide. The team for Jamestown comprises six rinks with the skippers Andrew Hill, Craig Treloar, Mark Kubank, Dennis Treloar (Berri), Gary Pursche (Waikerie) and Justin Morris (Freeling). The remainder of the team is Graeme King, Ken Stokes, Graham Butt (Berri), Terry Thurston, Peter Kimber (Loxton), Ben Quarterbournes (Renmark), Phil Ashton (Barmera), Brian Burnett, Wayne Collins (Waikerie), Steve Rose (Loxton RSL), Barry Hooker, Peter Gageler, Mark Bloomfield (Broken Hill), Stuart Allen, Ron Turnbull (Nuriootpa), Chris Kearns, Anthony O’Brien (Freeling) and John Standish (Angaston). Reserves are Waikerie’s Robert Thompson, Loxton’s Trevor Schulz and Angaston’s Liam Buckley.
The Guinnes wins squash ■ IT CAME down to a final clash between the two top players Greg Marlor, from The Guinnes, and Kane Watts, from The Stoneys, to decide the premiership in the Loxton Squash Club’s spring pennant season. Earlier Polly Johnson had defeated Paul Horsfall and Angela Nelson, Craig Todd (both 3-1) to put the title favourites two up but when Peter Miller overcame a slow start to defeat Wayne Voigt in four games and Robert Stone accounted for Mark Cash it was all square with the number one players to decide the issue. Marlor was to defeat Watts in a great contest 3-1 to give The Guinnes the title. At an after grand final barbecue, presentations included Tanya Marlor being crowned the club’s Open Champion after she defeated husband Greg in the final. The Open Plate winner was Darren Schultz while in division one John Vaughan defeated Peter Miller for the championship and James Searles won the Plate. The next pennant season commences when school opens for 2013. Anyone interested in playing should contact club president Steve Emery on 0417 859 232 or secretary Tanya Marlor on 04229 33 550.
Big week of golf at Barmera ■ IT was a big week of golf at Barmera with three stablefords and a stroke event held. Last Wednesday, Alistair NixonSmith was the clear winner of a stableford, scoring 39 points ahead of Colin Galdwin and Don Marrett on 34. Luke Hampshire won a nine hole twilight stableford on Friday with a score of 20, one shot ahead of Dennis Hodgson. It was a close tussle on Saturday with Brian Finn victorious on 40 points, followed by Jordan Wright on 38, Garry Eitrich 38, Ian Winen 36 and Ade Selfe 36. On Sunday, Glen Millard topped the rankings of a stroke event with a score of net 75.
Gutsche’s blazing century ■ A BLAZING hundred from Loxton veteran Michael Gutsche helped his team to 8/261 during the weekend’s clash with Berri in Riverland A grade cricket. Gutsche was ably supported by Josh Deren with 68, while Kale Smith provided a valuable 23. For Berri, Gary Branford and Danyal Reynolds snared two wickets. An all-round team batting display from Waikerie-Ramco has given Renmark a mammoth chase. Tim Bevan scored 91, Liam Schiller 51 and Phil Valentine an unbeaten half century in a total of 9/271. Young Zakk Gallo picked up 3/26 from 16 overs.

Otto’s runaway win ■ SEVENTEEN-year-old Loxton triathlete Jacob Otto had the biggest victory of his short career when he won Sunday’s Coomealla Memorial Sporting Club Triathlon. This was a major event with over 170 competitors from every state in Australia taking part in the course which includes a 750 metre swim, 20 kilometre bike ride and five kilometre run. The event was the first in the qualifying series for the International Triathlon Union World Championships to be held in London in September 2013 with the Coomealla Triathlon the only regional event in Australia to be granted qualifier status. Other events in the series will follow in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney. Sunday’s event was also a leg of the South Australian Sprint Triathlon Championships.
As far as Otto’s performance in the triathlon was concerned, experienced competitor and enthusiast Renmark’s Ruth Strout tells it best. “Jacob had a scorcher,” she said. “He won outright from some serious contenders. “The second placed triathlete Chris Wigell is about to go overseas to train and is semi professional.
Wigell in the run. “He was flying – it was very exciting.” Otto finished fifth in the swim leg and then won both the cycle and run sections for an overall time of 56.56 minutes with Wigell close behind on 57.13. It has certainly been a big year for Otto. The current Australian and South Australian Junior Long Course Champion received the Adelaide Triathlon Club’s
Despite Jacob’s goggles breaking during the swim leg he managed to swim a personal best. “Despite Jacob’s goggles breaking during the swim leg he managed to swim a personal best keeping just behind the main pack, then he passed many in the cycle to eventually catch and pass
Junior High Performance Male award and last month blitzed the field in the ATC’s Half Murray Man at Barmera’s Lake Bonney in oppressive weather conditions. Adelaide Triathlon Club Pres-
ident Andrew Bartlett said “Jacob has started the 2012-13 season in spectacular fashion. “He produced a time of 2.06 hours for the Half Murray Man in extreme conditions, with a maximum temperature of 39 degrees and finished 12 minutes ahead of second place. “That has been followed by his first open win at Coomealla and it clearly demonstrates that Jacob is now a triathlete to be taken very seriously”. The Riverland was also represented by Strout, Waikerie’s Craig Wilson and Renmark’s Tim French in the Coomealla event on Sunday. Strout finished 11th overall amongst the age groupers and second in her own division, Wilson was sixth overall and second in his own age group and for French, he finished 10th and second respectively.
Insight into leading umpire turned coach ■ RECENTLY we reported that leading Riverland football field umpire Mark Wilksch was putting his whistle aside in season 2013 and turning his attention to a coaching position. Always one to simply get on with the difficult task in hand Mark has never sought personal attention but on this occasion when I approached him for a chat he agreed, stressing it was not to be just about him but more about trying to encourage more people to join the local umpiring panel. I started by at least trying to draw something from him about Mark Wilksch, one of the leading umpires in SA Country football.
Mark how did you get into umpiring, when and why? ■ Back when our two boys Nathan and Keenan started in Auskick an RFL umpire at the time, Ken Holzer, was the coordinator and after I had helped with some of the kids’ games he suggested I go out to umpires’ training. Current league chairman Neil Martinson was the coach. I remember my first serious match when our panel helped out the Mid Murray competition in a Robertstown home game against Morgan. Being new and enthusiastic I volunteered for the job which seemed to amuse some of the seasoned campaigners. I later realised why as it was a 10 hour day with all of the travelling involved.
What had you played before that? ■ A bit of mini league at Renmark before I got into mini bikes and motocross. Actually I used football training to get me fit for motocross and that led to some games for Renmark in the Independents and Seconds before I married and moved to Berri. I played under Colin Leckie in winning and losing Seconds grand finals in 1986 and 1989 and spent a season at South Merbein. Finally back in the Riverland I could not risk injury with a job on deliveries for Coca Cola so l pretty much stayed away from football to avoid getting itchy feet and tried to make a golfer out of myself.
How many games have you umpired? ■ I have not really counted
games, a couple of hundred I suppose. Ten seasons anyway.
How many grand finals and the most memorable one?
Any characters amongst players, officials, spectators,umpires, any humorous incidents?
■ Seven in all and the first one naturally (was most memorable). It was the last time with the two umpire system and I partnered Paul Stribley at Renmark in 34 degree heat. However, the best one would have to be when Mark Ricciuto inspired Waikerie to a win over Renmark at Berri. It is still the best venue for grand finals and there was a great crowd for a great game. At one stage I was less than 30 metres from a boundary umpire and I could not hear his whistle. That’s what football is all about, a fantastic atmosphere. I am also very proud of having umpired at AAMI Stadium with my older son Nathan, one of the boundary umpires and with my younger son Keenan when he made his A grade RFL debut last season.
■ Occasionally you do hear something funny from the crowd. In a game at Barmera an opposition player ran a fair distance with the ball without a bounce and my fellow umpire was pretty lenient bringing a classic from our mate Mick, “fair go ump I’ve backed horses that haven’t run that far”. Those very good players like the Clonan/Stevens brothers at Waikerie are very clever with some of their sledging.
What about appearances at the higher level?
■ I think we should be careful not to sanitise our game too much. I believe our player behaviour here is quite good but it is disappointing when a club official gives you a rip. They should be above that and setting the standard. To me it is not a real problem unless it is personal or threatening or your family is involved. That is definitely out of bounds.
■ I have been fortunate to be at four SA Country Championships, three at Berri and one at Port Pirie and to be selected for two Australian Carnivals as the state’s umpire, 2010 in Canberra and last season in Wagga Wagga. The national event is a fantastic standard of football. Teams like the Peter Knights coached Victoria number one team are just great to watch and would be more than competitive against most SANFL sides. They don’t mess about with tactics like flooding either and play real footy.
The best players you have umpired? ■ Obviously ‘Roo’ is a stand out but any of the top players at the Australian Country championships. You wonder how some of those players compare with some of the athletes or rugby and basketball converts the AFL clubs are grabbing if they were given opportunities at that level. I am loath to single out any players for fear of missing someone but I have seen blokes like Michael Arnold, Leigh Kruger, Ryan Bennett and Andrew Bachmann do well at higher level.
Problems with player, official and spectator behaviour resulted in club presidents being involved in producing a Code Of conduct. Effective or not?
How serious is the shortage of umpires? How does the game recruit? ■ Real serious and not just here but in most country and metro competitions as well. I don’t know what the answer is as most of the best umpires seem to be on the wrong side of the boundary line. Seriously there are so many people out there who would make terrific umpires if only they would take the first step. It is the next best thing to playing and you learn so much about the game. I reckon it is a great personal development tool with a great comradery with fellow umpires, the learning of new skills, meeting and dealing with people and situations, fitness and stepping out of your comfort zone.
What does it take to be an umpire? ■ Just a passion for the game I reckon. If you have enjoyed playing football perhaps you owe it to the next generation to give something back. While it is probably not for everyone if there are just the slightest thoughts give it a go. The hardest part is taking that first step. There will be good and bad days like any sport but it is like life itself you learn from your mistakes and move on.
Why did you decide to coach at Loxton North? ■ I was involved as coach with the Berri juniors for six years. Keenan moved to Loxton North last season and after finding the club had similar coaching philosophies as my own and was well structured with a good culture, I grabbed the opportunity when it presented itself. Again, I have no doubt that had it not been for my umpiring I would not have had the knowledge or confidence to tackle the job.
Will you return to umpiring? ■ Who knows what is in store down the track. I would like to keep my hand in, perhaps by doing the odd junior game. But at the moment my focus is on coaching.
Stand out people along the umpiring journey? ■ I learnt the most from two people and still enjoy umpiring with them today. Mike Horsman and Warren Couzens. I have never seen either of them lose their cool and even after all of their years in the game they are still prepared to listen and learn. I have the utmost respect for them and we are fortunate that they are both still involved. Warren put me back in my box in my playing days and I have never forgotten it. Can I just pay a tribute to a little group of people who perhaps never got to play the game but turn up every week as club officials, men and women, canteen helpers, cooks, cleaners, without the accolades players and umpires might get? Take a moment to think what your club would be like without them.

Loveday’s Lochlan Charity has not let a disability stop his athletic dreams
Born to run against the odds ■ ELEVEN-year-old Lochlan ‘Lochy’ Charity was only introduced to athletics in March this year after impressing at a Talent Search Day organised by the Paralympic Committee in Adelaide. However, the Loveday resident and Barmera Primary School student already holds Australian School Sports records for athletes with disability. A rare medical condition at birth resulted in Lochy having his right leg amputated from below the knee before his first birthday. Speaking to his mother Mel on Monday she said she is proud of her son’s achievements. “You know, thinking back it is no surprise that Lochy has taken to athletics so quickly,” she said. “Right from the time he got his prosthesis it has not been about walking, it has been running.” The suggestion to attend the Talent Search Day came from staff at the prosthesis company Prostek
who had a strong belief in Lochy and from there he was chosen to take part in the state SAPSASA carnival at Santos Stadium. At the event Lochy won three gold medals in his age group in long jump and 100 and 200 metre sprints and that performance qualified him for last month’s national carnival, also at Santos. It was there that Lochy continued his meteoric rise in the sport. In the boys’ 11 years age group he won silver in both the AWD long jump (3.05 metres) and 100 metres (16.53 seconds), and in doing so established new School Sports Australia records, as well as claiming bronze in the 200 metres. Lochy also took out silver and gold medals for 10 to 12 years age groups in two SA/Victoria combined teams in a 4x100 metre relay and an 800 metre boys medley. Therefore he has already quali-
Right from the time he got his prosthesis it has not been about walking, it has been about running.

Lochy’s parents Mel and Jason are amazed by their son’s success but not surprised because of his positive attitude and determination. Lochy was privileged to be a flag bearer this year when the successful Australian team was welcomed back from the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. “He has an ambition to be a Paralympian,” Mel said.
Mel went on to explain that her son’s success on the track has come while using prosthetics designed for walking, not running. “He has also played junior football for Cobdogla,” she said. “All this without any real training. “The people at Prostek say it is all about having a lot of natural ability.” And of course some real courage, determination and a positive attitude.
Lawn bowlers doing the Riverland proud ■ WHEN it comes to lawn bowls in the Riverland there were good news stories at both senior and junior levels this week. Firstly Wayne Ruediger, a third generation bowler from our region, took out a gold and a silver medal at the World Championships at the Lockleys and Holdfast Bay Clubs in Adelaide. At the same time Loxton Bowling Club junior, Moorook’s Tamzin Jenke, has been named in the state under 18 girls team to play a Test series against Victoria in Bendigo from January 8 to 10. Ruediger, the only South Australian in the 10 strong Australian squad for the massive tournament in Adelaide, is the grandson of Ron and son of Kym, two well known Riverland bowling identities. Chosen in the national team for the first time, Wayne, 36, a greenkeeper at his home Grange Club, played in both the triples and fours competitions amongst
a gathering of men’s and women’s teams from 27 countries. His gold medal came in the Fours competition when he played lead for a rink that also included Brett Wilkie, Mark Casey and Aaron Sherriff and defeated South Africa 22-13 in the final. Then in the triples final, with Wilkie and Casey, Australia went down 13-12 to Scotland. Ruediger said “words can’t describe how I feel right now I’m so happy”. “I never expected to be a World Champion. “I wouldn’t have even thought it possible a year ago.” He would also be celebrating the Australian Jackeroos’ overall team triumph as it won five gold and two silver medals over the eight disciplines to finish as the top nation, with the women retaining the Taylor Trophy and the men winning the Leonard Trophy. The tournament ended in
electrifying circumstances as world number four Karen Murphy defeated defending champion Val Smith of New Zealand in a marathon three and a half hour showdown 21-17 and world number two Leif Selby edged past Canada’s Ryan Bester in a titanic tussle 21-19 to give Australia the double in the blue ribbons singles finals. Meanwhile, Tamzin Jenke will play both in singles and will skipper the pairs for SA at the under 18 tournament in Bendigo. Her partner in the pairs will be Carly Otterspoor from Tanunda. The South Australian party will fly from Adelaide early on Monday, January 7, and after arriving in Melbourne, they face a two hour bus journey to Bendigo ready to start the competition the next day. Locally, in last Saturday’s men’s Pennant round 10 results, at home Waikerie grabbed two
of the rinks against ladder leader Berri but still went down 88-67 when the Craig Treloar and Mark Kubank led visiting rinks both had big victories. At Loxton, the home team lost its fourth game of the season after its strong start, this time going down to a Renmark team that has travelled in the opposite direction, starting 2012/13 poorly but now storming into the top four. Renmark won three of the rinks with Sean Leesue’s result 25-14 over Terry Thurston decisive. In the other game, Loxton RSL kept its finals hopes alive by winning all four rinks, 93-66 at Renmark RSL. In this Saturday’s matches Berri hosts third placed Barmera, Renmark and Renmark RSL meet in the local derby and in another similar clash, Loxton RSL is at home to Loxton. Waikerie has the bye.
Waikerie swimmers impress at carnival ■ THE Waikerie Swimming Club has enjoyed an influx of new swimmers this season and it was a fantastic effort when it produced its best result for some time at an Open Carnival on Saturday. At its own hosted carnival, Waikerie won five gold, 14 silver and 15 bronze for a total of 34 medals. With the three other Riverland clubs, Berri, Vitor Renmark and Loxton also represented plus swimmers from Barossa Valley, Gawler, Henley and Grange, Le Fevre Portside, Mountain Pool, Pirhanas and Starplex competing, a total of 74 athletes attended the event resulting in 328 entries, across the 51 race program. In a full weekend of swimming the second Points Carnival for the season was also held at Loxton on Sunday. The rejuvenated Renmark
club dominated the pool scoring 398 points, followed by Loxton 239, Berri 191 and Waikerie 77. This weekend abandoned pennant carnivals have been rescheduled for Renmark and Waikerie before a break over Christmas. The Berri Open on January 5 will then serve as a good warm up for the Country Championships.

Littledyke out of luck at national fishing competition
■ IT IS often said sport is a great leveller. Well fishing sure is, just ask Riverland Fishing Club member Matt Littledyke. In 2011 at the Mulwala Cod Classic Competition in New South Wales, Matt (pictured) landed a 900 millimetre cod just before the event concluded to put him amongst the prize winners. There was no such luck this time at Australia’s richest freshwater fishing tournament. In fact, on this occasion Matt was upstaged by his dad Mark. However, compared to his son’s 2011 monster catch, Mark’s effort was a ‘tiddler’ being only 670 millimetres. And it was caught the day before the event officially started. There were over 2700 anglers and some 1400 boats at this year’s classic that boasted $130,000 in prize money. Over 4000 carp were caught. Up to 35 entries involved Riverlanders including 10 or so from the local fishing club, which by the way, has experienced a considerable increase in membership in recent times. Membership now stands at around 35 people and up to 30 anglers have attended the monthly club competitions, whereas as few as only four or five used to be involved 12 months ago. There are now members from as far away as Port Pirie. Talking of new members, a recent addition, Paul O’Donnell, also landed a reasonable fish being 700 millimetres in size at Lake Mulwala but on this occasion it was caught half an hour after the competition ended. The overall winner of the competition in its 13th year was a lady angler landing a 1.17 metre beauty. Further details about the club are available from Matt Littledyke on 0438 876 656.

Issue No. 259
Hard work pays off for junior baseballer YEARS of hard work and determination have paid off for 17-year-old baseballer Jesse Stemberger following his selection in the South Australian under 19 team. Stemberger received notification he had made the final cut and will now play in a series against American baseball teams in Adelaide next week and in a national series in January. It was a proud moment for Stemberger, who had unsuccessfully tried out for state selection on two previous occasions. “I was pretty happy because the past couple of years I’ve tried out and haven’t made it,” he said.
“I’ve worked pretty hard to try and get this far and I’ve done it, so I’m proud of myself.” Under the banner of SA Bite, Stemberger will be given the opportunity to impress more than 100 scouts at the national competition in Geelong next year. After Barmera failed to field a team in this year’s Riverland Baseball League, Stemberger now plays for Renmark, and from there he has continued to improve. ■ Continued Page 29
