Residents warned to be aware of virus during hot weather

REMAIN HYDRATED A RIVERLAND medical emergency department is calling on residents who have caught a seasonal gastroenteritis virus to remain hydrated as temperatures peak at more than 40 degrees tomorrow. Sixteen people attended River Doc’s Emergency Department in Berri on the weekend alone with suspected gastro. While River Doc’s ED clinical

REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY director Doctor John Penna said the bug is seasonal, the sweltering conditions have the potential for it to spread. He is encouraging anyone who suspects they have gastro to stay

away from food prep areas, wash their hands, drink plenty of water and remain away from local swimming pools to reduce the risk of the virus spreading. “It’s probably going to be just a seasonal gastric virus...because that’s the way it is behaving except this weekend we had 16 or 17 people present with gastroenteritis,� Dr Penna said. “The heat has an impact because

people can get dehydrated quicker. “If they are not keeping cool, if they are not drinking enough, then the heat can impact on them.� The emergency department has also seen a number of patients suffering from heat related illnesses in the past fortnight with an average of about three poeple requiring IV fluids on hot days.

“Every year we have a few hot days and heat stress is certainly a significant problem, particularly in the elderly but it can effect other vulnerable people too, so children, pregnant women and people with other illnesses, like heart trouble and diabetes,� Dr Penna said. ■Continued Page 4

WHEN Loxton’s Chad Edmunds went looking for an overseas challenge, he certainly set the bar high. In March, Chad will climb Mount Everest to help raise funds for the Cure Cancer Australia Foundation. The Trek for a Cure: Everest Challenge is a 22 day hike to Mount Everest Base Camp and back. With the mountain standing at over 29,000 feet and with temperatures well below zero degrees, Chad admits the cold weather is something he will have to get accustomed to coming from the warm Riverland. “I’ve never experienced anything that cold,� he said. “The low oxygen is also going to be very different.� So far Chad has raised over $2000 with his target being $4000. He said support from family and friends has been overwhelming. “A lot of family and friends have donated and also some

of the people I work with,� he said. Given that the Mount Everest Base Camp sits more than 17,000 feet high with the likelihood of snow, Chad said he is training hard to prepare for the trek, which will involve up to 10 hours of hiking per day. The trek is an annual event involving at least 10 willing participants from around the country. Raising money for the Cure Cancer Australia Foundation appealed to Chad due to his experience with a family member being diagnosed. “I’ll get to see that part of the world which I am fascinated by and also I am doing my little bit for charity while I am fit and able,� he said. “Without these sort of charities, it is hard for cancer researchers to get grants.� Last year, Cure Cancer Australia provided 30 one year grants to the best young researchers in the country with fresh approaches across all areas of cancer research.

temperatures are expected to rise into the mid 30s today and 42 degrees tomorrow. The local medical emergency department has already seen a number of cases of heat stress,

especially involving the elderly. This is a time when we need to think about those around us. Many elderly people simply do not change their routines for the

weather, often continuing to wear a number of layers of clothes. In temperatures over 30 degrees, we must all check on family and neighbours to ensure they are coping through the

scorching heat. A simple check could mean the difference between life and death. We need to continue to be prepared because it is going to be a hot and unpredictable summer.

Lake Bonney inspires physics professor to correct a dictionary definition

Dutch Liquorice

A 99-year mistake

Waikerie 8541 4112

A TRIP to Lake Bonney, Barmera, in 2009 was the catalyst behind a Queensland physics professor discovering a mistake in a dictionary term that had been in place for 99 years. Upon visiting his brotherin-law near Waikerie, Dr Stephen Hughes became aware of a siphon being used to transfer much needed water from the River Murray into Lake Bonney. It was the sheer size of the siphon, which transferred the equivalent of 4000 Olympic swimming pools over 50 days, that interested Dr Hughes. “My brother-in-law was talking about all the fish coming from Lake Bonney with this huge siphon,� Dr Hughes said during a visit to Barmera this week. “One of my interests is looking for new ideas for teaching physics. “I thought ‘oh wow, this would be a really interesting thing to take a photograph of because it is a siphon on a much larger scale than emptying a fish tank or getting petrol out of the car’.

■INSPIRED: Dr Stephen Hughes at Lake Bonney this week. “We went there the day before they stopped it and I took photographs, videos and then got back to Brisbane and started doing background research for a paper.� Dr Hughes decided to write an educational research paper on siphons, with a particular interest in the one being used at Lake

Bonney in 2009. During background research for the paper, Dr Hughes discovered another document written in 1971 stating that there is incorrect definitions of the word siphon in dictionaries and text books across the world. “That was written in 1971, so I thought ‘that has probably been solved by now’ but I looked at my Oxford Dictionary at home and it had the incorrect definition and I was actually quite amazed to find it,� he said. “Back at university, I went into the library and went through two shelves of dictionaries, every single one of them wrong, I checked 25 online dictionaries, they were all incorrect as well.� The Oxford English Dictionary stated that atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid through the siphon, when in fact, Dr Hughes said it is really gravity that is at work. After publishing a paper on what he perceived to be the incorrect definition, the discovery of the mistake created not only

worldwide debate but major international media interest, which led to the Oxford English Dictionary reviewing and rewriting its definition on the word siphon. “I had emails pouring in from all over the world,� Dr Hughes said. “To me I just didn’t like the idea that something is incorrect and had been incorrect for so long.� Today, Dr Hughes still visits his family in the Riverland and is continuing with his campaign to get all dictionaries to emend their definition of the siphon. “The Lake Bonney siphon inspired me to start researching the properties of water in a siphon,� he said. “I have been performing siphon experiments using x-ray diffraction as the Australian Synchrotron and neutron diffraction at the nuclear reactor facility at Lucas Heights, Sydney.� To read Dr Hughes’ paper, go to http://eprints.qut.edu. au/31098/

A GROWING Riverland business has called on the State Government to provide more funding options for tourism in the region. Murtho based Woolshed Brewery, which has quickly become a key tourist destination in the Riverland since its inception, was recently denied access to more than $500,000 as part of the $20 million Sustainable Futures Fund. After spending thousands of dollars and more than 12 months putting together an application, owners Tom Freeman and Sarah Dowdell said they felt “exhausted and demoralised� to find out

they did not receive any funds. Instead, a lack of substantial government tourism funding means the business will now have to push forward with upgrades from its own pocket. “We were hugely disappointed and not for the fact of being unsuccessful, you win some, you lose some, but the fact we found out the money had been withheld after we’d been so strongly encouraged to apply by every department, including PIRSA, because apparently we’d ticked all the boxes,� Mr Freeman said. “The whole Riverland has lost out here, that’s the most upsetting thing.

“It (the project) would have gone ahead anyway but that funding would have just sped things right along and given us a chance to have a really top quality, destination experience for customers and now this process will take a lot longer to occur.� Included in Woolshed Brewery’s extensive proposal was a major brewery upgrade, toilet block, storage shed, a bottling line and an upgrade of marina facilities. With grant funding, the project could have been completed within 12 months but will now possibly take longer than five years. Although, the business has

already constructed new storage sheds and a toilet block. “It’s growing at a huge rate, the feedback we are getting is so positive that you really want to build as quickly as you can,� Mr Freeman said. “The really frustrating thing is that if we had just put our energies in moving forward rather than spending so much time on the application, we’d be in a far better position.� The tourism business recently received a commitment of inkind support from the South Australian Tourism Commission to advertise and to install new signage.

Hot under the collar THE Riverland has had a sizzling start to the new year with a January average temperature of almost 40 degrees celsius. An official heatwave was declared with five consecutive days over 40 degrees from January 3 to 7 in Renmark. The temperature drop to 27 degrees yesterday was welcomed by many visitors but it will be shortlived with temperatures reaching 34 degrees today and rising to a scorching 42 degrees tomorrow. Forecasts are also expected to remain in the mid 30s until next week. As tourists search for shade, flocking to the river and local pools this week, caravan parks have been impacted through cancellations in bookings. The heat was too much for some, who packed up and left the region early. Berri Riverside Caravan Park manager Kay Kubenk said the “heat has taken its toll on some people”. “The tenters and the camper trailer people have found it really difficult on those hot days and we did have some going home earlier,” she said. “Normally you have people ringing last minute to get away for a few days in a tent or a caravan or a camp-

er trailer and that‘s not happening at the moment. “I think people are making that decision not to come when it’s quite so hot.” Despite the cancellations, many travellers upgraded to cabins to escape the heat. “A lot of them upgraded to the gaps that we have in accommodation, so they might have been in a camper trailer or tent for four days and went in for the last two days into accommodation,” Mrs Kubenk said. “There was still a lot that stuck it out even though it was so hot. “A lot of the times they went down by the river under the tree where it was a lot cooler or most of their time was spent in the pool. “I would have suspected that the shopping centres and the Chaffey Theatre and Bowland, that had airconditioning, would have been doing quite well.” Despite the heat, caravan parks, hotels and motels across the Riverland have all reported high occupancy rates. It is not just the tourists looking to get out and about in the hot weather with the likes of Loxton pair Henry Rogers and Zane Rluth canoeing on the river earlier this week to beat the heat.

While many residents worked through the heat, Loxton Iceworks’ Matthew Schutz said he has been flat out supply ice but wasn’t complaining. “This is the place to work on those hot summer days,” he laughed. The Mallee is also expected to experience hot conditions in the high 30s in the next few days. SA Health is reminding people to keep cool and hydrated to avoid heat stress and exhaustion in the coming days. SA Health public director Dr Kevin Buckett said the state is looking at a prolonged period of hot weather and people should take precautions to beat the heat. “During hot weather it’s important to stay well hydrated by drinking lots of water and keeping out of the sun where possible,” Dr Buckett said. “If you do need to go into the sun, do so for limited periods and wear a long-sleeved, light coloured shirt, a hat, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen. “Try to make the most of fans and air-conditioners, or if that is not an option, you can cool down by placing wet towels on your neck and underarms or by having a cold shower or bath.”

“Often we’ll see elderly people wearing two or three layers of clothing, sometimes even a jumper on a 45 degree day because they’ve just lost that sensation of being overheated. “The elderly lose their sense of thirst, they don’t appreciate they are getting dehydrated and they also don’t appreciate they are getting overheated. “It’s so important to think ahead and be prepared, it can happen to you, just because you are a fit 80-year-old doesn’t mean you can’t get heat stress.” Dr Penna encouraged residents to check on those living close to them during the hot weather. “People who have got elderly neighbours, it

won’t do any harm to go and knock on the door and check if they are okay, check if they’ve got their airconditioner on, check that they are drinking plenty of fluids because they

kid themselves that they are doing okay,” he said. “If you knock on your neighbours door and the house is about 50 degrees inside, you know they are not doing okay.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Petrol discount MY question is are petrol discount vouchers worth the paper they are printed on? Travelling to Berri from Waikerie I passed servos in Barmera, Glossop and Berri. The price at each servo was $141.9 cents a litre for unleaded except for the Waikerie Shell which was $146.9 cents a litre. While in Berri, I needed to do some shopping so we went to Coles and surprise, surprise, you now get eight cents a litre off if you spend $30 or more. So what? Sometimes this happens but this time it went for three months. On the way back to Waikerie I could have got petrol for $141.9 cents a litre but I had a docket to use at Shell to save eight cents a litre. By my reckoning, I would have paid $1.38 a litre, save three cents a litre compared

to $141.9 at the other servos. But no, at Shell Waikerie the price was now $149.9 cents a litre, so by taking off the eight cents a litre, I am back to the same price I could have bought it at the other servos. That night on the 6.30pm news, they said petrol was slightly lower at $134.9 cents a litre in Adelaide. Imagine the saving for those people in Adelaide. In conclusion, I figured that we are paying for their discount. Waikerie $149.9, Adelaide at $134.9, save 15 cents a litre, plus eight cents for your docket and the discount is 23 cents a litre compared to Shell Waikerie. At some stage maybe Coles could think about the people in the country when pricing petrol or are they just plain greedy? Kevin Datson, Waikerie.

Have your say about the issues that affect you.

Tax burden WHAT a great present from Prime Minister Julia Gillard for those who are mature aged and sick by adding another tax. I have worked out that it will cost my wife and I more than a dollar per day extra for our medication over 12 months. We are on the pension, so do we stop buying our medication to save money so that we can eat? Or is this Treasurer Wayne Swan bringing his mismanaged budgets back into surplus? These two politicians must not like the mature aged and the sick because they can issue gifts to other sections of the community where they think they can gain votes. For instance, I believe the following are receiving money to buy votes: New fathers receive $1000

after the birth of their baby, good luck to them, and children going to school receive $850 for schooling. There has also been $15 million spent on the Prime Minister’s new flying hotel, plus the staff, fuel and maintenance for the aircraft. How much per year will that cost the average taxpayer? More than 400,000 South Australians will pay more for cuts to the health budget. Our local Premier has also jumped on the bandwagon with the Federal Government stating it will give a $75 rebate off our overcharged water rates. How many promises is the Labor Party going to break before the Federal election? There is the ever increasing price of electricity, water, council rates, telephone, car registration and fuel. Yet, there is the waste of more money and taxes when those who live below the poverty line need it most. Mr Swan is just trying to bring his mismanaged budgets back into surplus before the elections, at the expense of the unhealthy and mature aged. The Labor Party has broken many promises since coming into power, considering Australia was running on a surplus before it came into office. By changing the regulations on illegal immigrants and letting thousands of people into the country, not one thought has been given to the sick and mature aged people who have paid taxes all of their lives. Now they have been put in a third world situation where they either choose to buy their medication or food. How many of these people can go out to a show or have a party, or even go out to dinner on a regular basis? I hope that our next government, both state and federal, will look after the people outside of the city, as well as the sick and mature aged who are now living in third world conditions.

ON behalf of Cancer Council SA, I’d like to say a big thank you to all of the committee members, volunteers, participants and supporters

of this year’s Riverland Relay For Life. The passionate Relay For Life teams and volunteer organising committee delivered yet another successful event, coming together on November 3 and 4 to celebrate, remember and fight back against cancer. The Riverland community has raised over $55,400 so far as part of this year’s event. These funds will help Cancer Council SA fund important support services, cancer research and prevention programs aimed at helping all people affected by cancer, including those in regional South Australia. Cancer is the leading cause of death in Australia. Around eight regional South Australians are diagnosed with cancer everyday, and everyday your support is making a difference for someone with cancer. Your fundraising provides a whole range of support services that ensure regional South Australians don’t miss out on vital support during or after their cancer experience. Our nurse counsellors speak with more than 1000 regional callers each year who seek information and support through calling Cancer Council on 13 11 20. Cancer Council Lodge provides a ‘home away from home’ for regional visitors when they are in Adelaide for cancer treatment. Last year we were able to provide accommodation for over 4000 regional cancer patients and their carers at one of our three lodges. Everyday there is hope, because everyday we’re a step closer to beating cancer. Thank you again for your amazing efforts and we look forward to ‘Relaying’ with you again next year. Professor Brenda Wilson Chief Executive, Cancer Council SA.

RECENTLY in the papers I have read about the possibility that they will build a bypass around Renmark. I have only recently moved to the Riverland (two years ago) so I am wondering whether that is a good idea or not. So far I don’t think I have seen any comments from the sitting politicians, MP Whetstone and Senator Ruston on what they think of this idea. I am sure many people, including those involved in the business sector, would be pleased to hear their thoughts. Kevin Datson, Waikerie.

Eftpos donations I AM writing to thank all Australians who pressed CHQ or SAV for purchases in the lead up to Christmas to support the eftpos Giveback campaign. You have helped us to successfully achieve our target to donate $1 million to Vision Australia. The Giveback campaign is now in its second year, continuing a tradition of giving at Christmas. Together with last year’s campaign, we have now been able to give back $2 million to great Australian charities at Christmas. This year’s donation will assist Vision Australia to fulfil its long-time ambition to build a new, world-class Seeing Eye Dog breeding and training centre in Melbourne. The centre will increase the number of Seeing Eye Dogs available, and provide stateof-the-art training facilities. By pressing CHQ and SAV, shoppers have helped eftpos donate to another great cause which will have a lasting impact on the community. Bruce Mansfield, eftpos managing director.

Fruit grower’s Chaffey’s 3D launch weekend nuffield tour AND ANOTHER THING...

NIGEL FIDDLER

Carly’s huge carp catch RIVERLAND Weekly sales consultant Carly Affleck managed to reel in this huge carp at Ral Ral Creek, Renmark North, during the holiday break. Despite a love for fishing, Carly said she was surprised at the size of the fish. “I was surprised to see what was on the line when I reeled it in,” she laughed. We hear there are plenty of fish biting in the local waters at the moment.

In last week’s Riverland Weekly, we incorrectly stated that Sunbake had donated $1000 to the local Make-A-Wish Foundation when it actually came from the Barmera Pitstop.

BOOKPURNONG stonefruit grower Jason Size will begin his travels in March after being awarded the Nuffield Scholarship recently. Mr Size said he was thrilled with the news and is looking forward to exploring his chosen topic of linking consumer patterns to flavour profiles. “Hopefully I can come back and do some more serious evaluations down the track to help growers around Australia about what they should be planning to plant,” Mr Size said. “It’s about capturing all the data which is critical to us to maintain consumption of stonefruit in Australia.” Mr Size will first travel to Canada to further his studies before visiting the Philippines, China, Mongolia, France, Ireland and the US before returning home at the end of the year. There were over 100 applicants for the scholarship across the state, that figure was cut to 30 before those applicants went on to national level, where 18 were chosen. Mr Size said he contributed his successful national interview to his determination and desire to obtain the scholarship after leaving the panel with one final message. “If I don’t get it, thank you for the opportunity and I’ll see you next year because I’ll be applying again,” he told the panel. “I walked out and one guy just looked at me and said ‘that is such a great answer.’” Mr Size will take to social media to log his travels and even though his family will miss him, they are thrilled for what is to come. “They are more excited and happy for me to do it because it is a role I have been doing now for the last five years, it’s that next step that I have to take,” he said. “I have had to set up a blog and Facebook page, Twitter account and all that sort of stuff just to keep everyone informed of what I am doing, where I am going and what I have learnt.”

P et s Keeping pets cool in scorching heat ROSEDALE MEATS WITH high temperatures expected again tomorrow and over the weekend, vets are providing some practical tips to keep your pets cool. “Pets are just as susceptible to heat-related illness as humans,” Australian Veterinary Association’s Steven Ferguson said. “Vets receive numerous calls from concerned pet owners during summer heatwaves seeing worrying signs like lethargy and excessive panting or breathing problems. “But there are simple tips that can help to prevent or minimise problems. “Not only can heat threats occur in parked cars, they can also happen in your own backyard. “Unlike people, who sweat through skin, pets cool off through the pads of their feet and tongues. “They need to pant to regulate their temperature and dogs and cats with long hair can be more susceptible to the effects of heat.”

Ten top tips for dogs and cats to beat the heat are: Make sure there is cool, fresh water available at all times. Leave this in a shady area. On really hot days it might be worth leaving multiple bowls of cool water in the shade that can’t be tipped over in a cool shady spot. Keep an eye on older pets as they will be more susceptible to the heat, particularly if they have

problems with their breathing. Dogs love to sit in the sun, but prolonged sun exposure can quickly lead to heat exhaustion and can cause skin cancers, so it’s important to provide them with a shaded area. One way to provide relief from the heat is to fill the kids’ paddling pool with a couple of inches of water and leave this in a shady spot for your dog to sit in. Tossing a few ice cubes in your dog or cat’s water bowl can help to keep their temperature down and provide some relief on a hot day. If you don’t have air conditioning think about leaving a fan on during those really hot days in the height of summer. Try to exercise your dog in the early morning or the late evening to avoid the hottest part of the day. Consider putting some treats

in the freezer. These can be given to your pet as a pet popsicle on really hot days. They’ll help cool your pet down and give them something to do when you’re out. If you own a long haired dog, consider giving them a trim to help them cope better with the hotter summer months. Signs of heat stroke include heavy panting, difficulty breathing, fatigue, drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea and even seizures. “It’s important to take your pet to your local vet if they are displaying any symptoms of heat stroke,” Dr Ferguson said. “And it goes without saying that you really must never leave a pet unattended in a car, even when the weather isn’t very hot. “The main thing is to watch your pets carefully on hot days and give them extra care to help them safely enjoy summer.”

GARDENING

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the garden... By ANDREW WALLADGE EXTREME heat seems to test all things. Tempers (or patience as the case may be), watering systems and methods, choice of mulch and choice of plants we use in our gardens are all tested during the heat. On top of our little heatwave is below average rainfall for most of us in the Riverland and Mallee combined with rising water costs, either the water itself and or the cost of electricity, to get it where you want it. So it is no wonder we wander into the garden and are dismayed to find damaged plants through lack of moisture. Let’s just pretend we have the mythical perfect watering system, I am sure we would still have damaged plants as a result of lush soft growth getting a dose of summer

heat. Throw in a few hot nights and there is simply no relief (or should that be re-leaf?). So rather than throw your hands up in horror at green leaves that look like they have been in the vegetable crisper for a week too long or even brown and wrinkled leaves, let’s use the opportunity to greatest effect. “What opportunity� I hear you ask, “Is this man crazy? The plant is dead!� The opportunity is simply assessing if the plant was worth having in the first place. Let’s face it, if you have done everything right like watering and fertilising according the plants requirements, mulched and or maintained good weed control and the plant still drops dead at the first sign of a heatwave is it a plant that deserves a place in your garden?

Turn instead to plants that look good now (that is during or after a heatwave) and make a quick list. This list then becomes your guide to planning and replanting. For example if Eremophila subteretifolia looks brilliant and in full bloom it should tell you that this is a plant to use again and there will also be other Eremophila that should perform equally well under similar conditions. If you are not sure what the plants are called that have performed well, bring in samples for identification. Then turn a heatwave to your advantage. â– GOOD CHOICE: The Eremophila subteretifolia is a hardy plant that looks brilliant in full bloom and performs well under most conditions.

CONVERTING garden plants to pots and placing them in the shade is one way to help survive the soaring temperatures, according to Thymless Nursery owner Kevin Maczkowiack. The Loxton based business stocks a range of pots, plants, statues, gifts and outdoor options to decorate the entertaining area. Kevin believes shade is an important element during hot weather to avoid plants being burnt by the harsh sun. He said mulching and having drip irrigation will also help gardens survive high temperatures throughout summer.

“Gardeners won’t get much flowering at the moment, they need to focus on the hardy plants,� Kevin said. “It’s important that plants get lots of water and protection from the hot winds.� Kevin said some good options include native grass plants such as the king alfred variety, which is stocked at Thymless Nursery. For more advice and tips on how your garden can cope with the hot weather, call in to Thymless Nursery in Loxton today and talk to the team who have the expertise in the field.

Growing the perfect lawn Preparation is key to gardens adapting to heat FOLLOWING a relatively dry spring much of the moisture in soils has been drawn out but there are a few easy steps that can be taken to ensure gardens survive in the hot summer heat. Most gardens will survive the hottest of weather as long as they’re prepared properly, and with some good preparation, gardeners can easily enjoy lush and green gardens all summer long without needing too much watering. Five top tips to help you plan ahead and keep your garden well nourished during the hottest time of the year are: ■ Lightly aerate your soil with a pitch fork and add a good layer of compost and mulch which can reduce water evaporation by up to 70 per cent – this is so important! ■ If you use an irrigation system, check it is work-

ing properly – it may not have been used for months. ■ Keep an eye out for distressed plants that may be affected by heat and monitor changes in foliage. Discuss these with your local garden centre – extra water is not always the answer. ■ If you want to introduce new plants during the warmer season, remember to plant them in the evening. New plants need to be regularly watered so have an alternative water source available just in case. ■ Make arrangements with neighbours, friends or family to water your plants only when necessary if you are going on holiday. By following these tips, when the temperature rises, gardens will be in a great position to survive even the most extreme heat without excessive watering.

HOW is your lawn looking? Do you have problem areas in your lawn? This could be a water or soil issue. Thankfully, these minor issues can be easily rectified by establishing a good watering program and/or checking out the condition of the soil. Lawn will keep your home cooler – the surface temperature is 10 degrees cooler than bare soil, 20 degrees cooler than concrete and 40 degrees cooler than artificial turf. During hot conditions, especially wind, your lawn will require extra waterings as it may dry out. So when you watch the weather report and notice a hot week coming up, get off the couch and give your lawn an extra drink. A good watering system that has uniform watering will save you money on your water bill. Check with your local landscaper on the most water efficient system for your lawn. Money spent up front will save you hundreds of dollars in the future. Mowing high during summer increases your lawn’s resilience to heat.

Is your lawn losing colour or looking a bit yellow? If you haven’t already, it’s time for a top-up fertilizer. It is important to select the correct variety for the region. The Turf Farm recommends varieties that are drought tolerant, low maintenance and if properly maintained, will never need replacing. If you are unable to water due to water restrictions or you’re going away and your neighbour is unable to water your garden, unlike your garden lawn varieties, buffalo and kikuyu can be left but will generally bounce back. Lawn is a great asset to your home – easy to maintain and with the right variety, low water usage, and will add value to your home. So how do you know if your lawn needs watering? Try the simple footprint test. Walk across your lawn and if you notice a footprint, your lawn is lacking water. If your lawn bounces back, it has adequate water. Watering correctly and still have issues? Call The Turf Farm for free advice or check out the website theturffarm.com.au

FOR a cricket fan, being in attendance at the Sydney Cricket Ground to watch Michael Hussey in his final Test was something special. The humble batsman only decided to announce his retirement from the longer format of the game on advice from his manager. It was his way of staying out of the spotlight and sneaking into retirement. In a deserved response, crowds flocked to the SCG ready to cheer on one of Australia’s greatest cricketers. I was lucky enough to attend the third day, one full of action as the Australians quickly rolled through the Sri Lankan batting line-up. The atmosphere was electric as Mitchell Johnson struck early, removing the ever dangerous Tillakaratne Dilshan. The chants began as Hussey moved from the slips cordon to a deep mid on position in the field.

Wickets continued to fall following a brief partnership involving the ever reliable Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene. Hussey responded to the crowd chanting his name with small gestures of thanks and seemed to use the crowd to inspire him in a diving save on the boundary. However, in a rare sign of emotion, a brilliant catch running away from the ball to remove Thilan Samaraweera saw Hussey punch the air as he was embraced by his teammates. It was a memorable moment. The day continued on into the late afternoon hours and creative crowd members wearing pink, to support cancer, become more vocal. Amongst the Mexican wave and continued disappointment as security guards snatched beach balls away to deflate the crowd’s fun, there was the realisation that Hussey was in his last hours of Test cricket. From deep within the stands of the SCG, the chant began, “give the ball to Hussey�.

For what seemed like over after over the chant continued, even to the point where impressive young fast bowler Jackson Bird was booed, simply for the fact he was reintroduced into the attack before Hussey. However, the people in the stands could sense that Australian captain Michael Clarke was going to play to the crowd. With five minutes left in the day’s play and after ordering Hussey to warm up, the fans got what they asked for. Hussey came on to bowl his medium pace for the last time in international cricket. There was a roar like I have never heard as he took the ball and there was a strange silence when his first ball was driven beautifully through the covers for four. However, the result of the over was irrelevant. Hussey may have remained wicketless in his last over in Test match cricket but the crowd were given one more chance to cheer on a legend that will be sorely missed.

Zone cricket team hopes to regain title By GRAHAM CHARLTON AFTER Murray Districts Cricket Zone organisers Michael Gutsche and Greg Graetz and team manager Jon Matthews, who is in his 16th year, met last Tuesday night, Matthews said that with only a couple of players to be confirmed for this year’s event, which starts on February 4, he was confident of another competitive performance this year. Murray District has won the championship 17

times but despite going close since on a number of occasions the last win was in 1977, while Barrier won its fourth ever title in 1990 before the two zones amalgamated. Reducing the competition from a two to one week tournament since 2009/10 has resulted in most zones having more of their leading players available for the trip to Adelaide. “We were unlucky last year,� Matthews said. “ We lost only one game

by about 20 runs but still finished seventh in the eight zone competition. “Also after playing both the Red and Gold teams from the strong Fleurieu area in 2012 we will run into them both again this time. “We meet Red at Bice Oval on day one, then last year’s champion Yorke Peninsula at Prospect and Fleurieu Gold at Tea Tree Gully before playing for final positions on Thursday.�

Riverland bowlers impress at Jamestown zone competition By GRAHAM CHARLTON

Sudoku

Last week’s solution:

To solve a Sudoku puzzle, every number from 1 to 9 must appear in: s %ACH OF THE NINE VERTICAL COLUMNS s %ACH OF THE NINE HORIZONTAL ROWS s %ACH OF THE NINE X BOXES 2EMEMBER NO NUMBER CAN OCCUR MORE THAN ONCE IN ANY ROW COLUMN OR BOX

North East defeated Upper North four rinks to two, 148 shots to 135, in last Sunday’s annual bowls clash at Jamestown. It is believed to be the first time that our zone has won the event back-to-back

and suggests that despite reports that there will be a number of changes to the Region Four line-up of last year when the 2013 squad is announced shortly for the prestigious Country Round Robin tournament in Adelaide, the chances of defending that title remain

strong. At Jamestown, Riverland’s winning rinks were led by Gary Pursche 26/21, Trevor Schulz 25/16, Craig Treloar 24/22, and Mark Kubank 37/25, while Andrew Hill’s team went down 17/22.

Confusing text message corrects bowls schedule By GRAHAM CHARLTON THIS may not be strictly a sporting matter but it did take a sporting incident to deliver a serious message, so serious in fact that it is funny. Recently in my weekly bowls segment talking to Dixie Lee on 5RM’s Sports Saturday I gave details of a result from a Loxton Blue versus Berri White match in the midweek triples competition only for Dixie to ‘correct’ me saying that the Loxton side had a bye that day, according to the

program. I thought it strange because I had extracted the information from a results sheet but Dixie was right, the program did indicate Loxton Blue was off that day. Shortly after the radio show finished I noted a text message on my mobile phone from Riverland men’s bowling official Lucky Seltitzas. It read, ‘yeah, hi Graham, its Lucky. Just correcting Dixie the reason to by, you with with very light has taken that spot that’s by the book and

your results have correct’. Confused, I went to Lucky’s recorded voice message. There it was, perfectly clear and legible advising that the program had been changed and that a new team, Berri White, had taken the place of a bye. It turns out that voice to text confused Berri White for ‘very light’. And it left me very wary about the accuracy of any text messages of the type in the future.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS

The T Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

Saville’s hit with Federer ■ I CAUGHT up with young Riverland tennis star Luke Saville for a chat on 5RM’s Sports Saturday program when he was in the region for Christmas at his parents home at Kingston-On-Murray. Obviously, totally committed to life as a professional and having completed a hectic period of tournaments around Australia, Luke still made time to have a hit up with his elder brother, leading Riverland player Troy. But it was a case again of ‘taking the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy’ as the fact that he had family gathering at his parents’ home for a Christmas get together was really special to him. But that obviously just represented a brief break out of the office and since then it has been back to the task of further bringing down a world ranking that plunged from around 1200 to 350 last year. Getting an opportunity for a hit up with the great man Roger Federer and gaining a wild card into the Australian Open in Melbourne has opened up the door for the young champion to continue his rise in senior tennis.

Top Riverland players compete in the state men’s singles championships at Barmera

Bowls talent on show ■ MORE than 40 bowlers across 11 sections will turn out for the region four preliminary rounds of the South Australian Men’s Singles Championship at Barmera (sections one to six) and Waikerie (seven to 11) on Sunday, January 13. With a couple of local enthusiasts helping me, I gathered that the cream of the crop, some veterans and other rookies, are coming out to play. Browsing through the sections of four with my ‘experts’, groups two, three, five, six and 10 looked the toughest. In group two, former SA Champion Berri’s Craig Treloar will have to be at his best to get past Jade Wright (Loxton RSL), Eddie Schulz (Renmark) and Graham Butt (Berri), while in group three, perhaps, in form Chris Kearns (Freeling) may

advance against a red hot field of Terry Thurston (Loxton), Graeme King (Berri) and Wayne Collins (Waikerie). In section five the big question is whether former state player Neil Lemmey (Renmark) is far enough down his comeback trail to win against Dave Mills (Barmera), Darren Piltz (Moorook) and Malcolm Inglis (Renmark RSL).

Morena (Barmera) when they have travelled to Wagga Wagga for the New South Wales based events over the past three years will be left behind. On current form Morena is probably the best chance to win that group. At Waikerie in section 10, it is also a four way toss up with Phil Ashton (Barmera) perhaps to get the upper hand against Graeme

(Renmark) and Trevor Schulz (Loxton) in one, Gary Pursche looks the favourite in group four, Craig Inglis (Loxton) and Sean Leesue clash in group seven and former SA champion Chris Rule (Lyndoch) should prevail in a tight section in group eight. If Dennis Treloar, Berri’s evergreen champion, is switched on he should make it through in group nine and his club mate, state squad member Andrew Hill, will be favoured to win group 11. There are mostly division one bowlers chasing the state crown from our zone so the matter of home ground advantage in these local preliminaries is important. Given the location of the event, that would put Barmera pair Morena and Mills well into contention to advance deep into the tournament.

I gathered that the cream of the crop, some veterans and other rookies are playing. Section six is interesting but it is obvious that any comradeship built up between Ben Quarterbourne (Renmark), Robert ‘Dixie’ Lee (Waikerie), John van der Wyst (Renmark RSL) and John

Huppatz (Loxton), Harry Sykes (Freeling) and Dominic Catalano (Renmark RSL). There are also some close match-ups in the other groups including John Thompson

Murray District cricketers shine at carnival

No local tennis teams at annual country carnival in Adelaide ■ WITH insufficient players available, the Riverland Tennis Association is not fielding either senior or junior teams in the annual country carnival being held in Adelaide. It is understood, however, that a number of locals are playing in individual competitions at the event. Talking to several veterans of the Riverland tennis scene, they were unable to recall a time when teams from the region were not in the city for the long running tournament. However, with the local sport in recess over the school holiday period, a sign that junior tennis stocks are still in good shape came from some excellent performances in the Loxton round of the 2012-13 Junior Grand Slam series prior to Christmas. In the 16 years division, Berri View’s Alicia Shotton and Loxton’s Alex Harris won both the singles and doubles events with their doubles partners Tianna Adamczyk (Renmark Tintra) and Drew Kassulke (Loxton) respectively. The girls14 years singles went to Loxton’s Vanessa Noble and doubles was won by two other Loxton players Demi Nicholson and Brianna Smith, while in the boys section Jordan Smith (Loxton) took out the singles and Jesse Wundenberg (Barmera) and Tim Doecke (Loxton) won the doubles. Berri View’s Adam Roy and Tyson Kent finished first and second in the boys 12 years singles and then partnered to win the doubles and in the boys 10 years age group Jake Stoeckel (Renmark Tintra) won both titles.

■ UP AND COMERS: The under 14 Murray Districts team that competed in the SACA Country Cup in Adelaide last week. ■ PROGRESS in junior cricket in the Murray Districts’ zone has certainly been on an upwards trend in the past couple of seasons and our team won two of the three matches it played in the annual SACA Country Under 14 Cup in Adelaide last week. One round of matches was cancelled due to a heat rule. In the opening game Murray

Districts defeated Barrier, 8 for 164 to 9 for 139, won against South East 5 for 144 to 4 for 136 before losing to Fleurieu South 9 for 104 to 185. Murray Districts finished in fifth place in the 10 zone competition behind Yorke Peninsula, Eyre Peninsula, Fleurieu North, and Barossa and Light. Looking at outstanding individual performances, all-rounder

"ERRI S MEDAL HAUL

■ SIXTEEN-year-old Timothy Trewren won six gold and six silver medals, prize money in the Dash for Cash and was named ‘Swimmer of the Meet’ when his home club Berri held its annual Open Carnival at the Hayden Stoeckel Pool on Saturday. Trewren’s gold medals came in individual medley, backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke events. Thankfully for swimmers and spectators the forecasted 42 degree temperatures did not eventuate for the meeting, which was a qualifying event for swimmers as far as state and national carnivals later in the season are concerned.

Competitors came from metropolitan and country clubs from across South Australia to compete at the Berri event but nearly half of the overall 118 entries were from the four Riverland clubs with 37 of them producing an exceptional 131 medals. Berri swimmers won 30 gold, 26 silver and 20 bronze, Loxton finished with three golds, six silver and four bronze, Vitor Renmark won 20 golds, 7 silver and 11 bronze and Waikerie received one gold and three silver medals.

From Loxton, Tenille and Celeste Schammer and Jet Garvie produced the best results for their club and from Waikerie, Chanide Fernardo and Brayden Rigby were the most successful representatives. Also noticed amongst the placings was Renmark’s Codey Lambert, who along with club mates Ashley Tyler, Jolanta and Halina Kudra, won medals at the Cookes Sunraysia two day Open swim late in December.

Riverland softballers prepare for state champs ■ THE Riverland Softball Association will have two teams in Adelaide from January 25 to 28 to defend the titles in B and D divisions that it won in a rare double last year at the senior state championships. The first practice for the squads was held last Sunday and training will continue each week until the January long weekend tournament is held. Looking at the Riverland number one side to compete in B division it will be coached by Loxton stalwart Cara Venning with the team manager Mary Geddie, scorer and emergency umpire Marianne Smith and umpire Jo Gregory. The squad is Naomi Taylor,

Tammy Dowdy, Tamara Benham, Taylee Healy, Kelsey Dennis (Berri), Julie Cook, Beck Thomas, Sonia Fletcher, Jo Gregory, Jodie Sullivan, Heidi Kassulke, Bron Smith, Colleen Smith (Cobdogla) and Cara Venning. The squad for the D division is Mary Geddie, Monica Hawker-Dorst, Toni Hayes (Berri), Monica Haaja, Kendall Hayes (Cobdogla), Mel Bristow, Kerri Miles (Loxton), Cheri Healy, Codie Tilbrook, Kerry Hartup, Deeanna Holtham, Jackie Thiele, Kaitlyn Thiele (Lyrup), Leanne Le, Kylie Pedersen, Amy Selfe and Tania Walker-Briggs (Renmark). Beth and Greg Heuppauff will fill the coach and assistant

coaching positions,Monica Haaja is team manager and the umpire is Jason Culbertson. Also, last Sunday the first training run was held for local juniors with their carnival to be held in Adelaide on February 15 to 17. Both under 17 girls and boys teams will be entered and although a number of players missed Sunday’s session due to school holidays, 14 girls and 18 boys have already been listed for consideration for the final squads. The girls’ team will be coached by Vikkie Taylor and boys’ by Haylee Symens. The large number of boys playing the sport makes it ob-

vious why the association still has a proposal on the table to form a senior men’s competition. A men’s exhibition game is being considered for later in the season. For any enquiries regarding a men’s competition telephone Mary Geddie on 8582 2520. Meanwhile Kris Taylor, who plays A grade for Berri Redsox, is currently in Tasmania representing the state under 17 boys’ team at the Australian Arthur Allsopp tournament. Kris, who has been playing softball for about six years, has been travelling to Adelaide each fortnight to attend selection training and trials.

A weekend of bowls upsets leading into the finals ■ PERHAPS it was the heatwave, or in some cases the early morning starts, but whatever the reason last Saturday’s round of men’s pennant bowls produced some new interest into the race for the final four and indeed the 2012-13 premierships. In division one, matches commenced at Barmera and Waikerie at 9am to beat the heat but at Berri the normal times applied. At Barmera, Renmark continued its attack on a top two minor round finish by easily accounting for a below strength home side four rinks to nil, 110-53.

However, although Renmark did make up some ground on second placed Loxton it was unable to leap frog it as the latter, after losing narrowly to comfortable ladder leader Berri at a previous meeting, caused an upset by winning another exciting clash between the top two clubs 71-68. The Trevor Schulz and Terry Thurston rinks won for Loxton, Andrew Hill won for Berri, while Vic Pavia (Loxton) and Mark Kubank could have stayed in the shade as they finished 21 all. At Waikerie, the home side engaged in a titanic struggle against Loxton RSL with the visi-

tor getting up by one shot with the final bowl of the game. With Waikerie leading by two shots, Loxton RSL skipper Lew Westbrook produced a match winning final delivery to give his side a victory that may well lead to a spot in the finals. With Barmera in fourth spot and losing badly, Loxton RSL is now only six points behind it in fifth position. At the same time Waikerie’s narrow loss has probably ended the 2011-12 grand finalists’ chances of taking part in the major round. Premiership points after round 13 are Berri 140, Loxton

122, Renmark 114, Barmera 82, Loxton RSL 76, Waikerie 54 and Renmark RSL 36. On a day of upsets and surprises on Saturday, however, nothing surpassed top team Renmark Gold going down to bottom ranked club mates Renmark Green 60-58 in division two. Eleventh placed Lyrup also thwarted Loxton Blue’s opportunity to enter the four by winning 53-50 against the fifth team. The door had been opened for the Loxton side when fourth placed Moorook lost to Berri Blue, which is ninth on the ladder, 64-36.

High gun honours at Barmera for Loxton’s Pash ■ LOXTON visitor Ray Pash, with a score of 147/150, took out High Gun honours at last Sunday’s shoot at the Barmera Gun Club. Pash finished runner-up to local member Ray Maywald, 63/64 to 64/64, in the A grade of

a 50 Target Double Barrel event and won the A grade of a 25 Target Continental with 25/25 from Mildura based, Barmera shooter Robbie Robertson, 24/25. In the 50 Target Double Barrel shoot Barmera Club president Frank Albanese with 50/50

won the AA grade and Peter Brister 46/50 in B grade and Jim Pankhurst, 41/50 in C grade continued in the good form that they produced at the Alice Springs Masters Games late in 2012. The two Barmera members

also won in the same grades in the 25 Target Point Score and 25 Target Continental competitions. Robertson also completed a good day by winning the A grade of the 25 Target Point Score with 75/75 ahead of Albanese 74/75.

Festive spirit on golf courses ■ LOCAL golf courses proved popular over the Christmas/New Year period. On Wednesday’s stableford competitions at Waikerie, Sid Copeland with scores of 43 and 40 points won on two occasions on either side of a victory with 44 points by Vince King. Other leading scores belonged to Derek Greenfield in the first event with 41points, Marcus Wills behind King with 40 points, and finally Mark Tink, 40, Marty Burnell, 38, and Kath Watkins 37. Over three Saturdays, Geoff Bald won division one of a par competition with five over and Trevor Schober took out division two with as score of nine over. James Thomas won division one of a stableford with 41 points and Brian Dale won division two with 37 and in a stroke event it was again Geoff Bald with 80/70 and Dale,101/66, in the two divisions. Last Saturday Lachie Gosse had some late Christmas cheer with a hole in one at the number three hole and he now shares bragging rights with his wife Lesley, who achieved the same feat in last year’s Renmark Open. At the Barmera course there was also a hole in one on New Year’s Day when Larry Fragomeni produced the perfect shot at the 17th. Earlier, in the last weekend of 2012 John Kniter with a net 66 won a stroke competition from Lucas Brown, 66, Brian Featherston, 68, Wendy Featherston, Fragomeni, Ian Chamberlain and Joffa Rosbergen, all with 69. The following day, Jordan Wright, 40 points, won a stableford from Lorraine Bond, 39, Trevor Hansen, Danny Halupka, 38, and Neville McPherson 36. Then on New Year’s day Larry Fragomeni went on to win a stableford with 37 points followed by Phil Selfe and Steve Morrell also on 37, McPherson, 36, and Jenny Morrell on 35. On January 2, Dennis Hodgson won a stableford with 39 points, ahead of Ken Moore with 37. Robert Formiatti was victorious in a stroke event at Barmera on Saturday, scoring net 68, ahead of Steve Alexander with 68 and Bill Allen with 70. On Sunday, Luke Hampshire hit an impressive 40 points in the stableford with Danny Halupka also on 40 and Terry Fisher on 39.

Price claims third national power boat title

By GRAHAM CHARLTON RENMARK’S Linton Price has won his third Australian 550cc Sports Class power boat championship. It was an oustanding achievement considering he only found out about the race by chance when he received a telephone call from a fellow competitor on the closing day for entries. Held by the Victorian Outboard Club at Lake Glenmaggie, about three hours on the other

side of Melbourne, the two day competition on December 29 and 30 involved one of ďŹ ve other Australian outboard title races and in fact, became the 2013 title. “The 2012 championship in the class was ďŹ nally cancelled,â€? Price said. “During the year there were several reasons why the 550s event was not staged alongside other national titles. “This was the hardest racing in the class that I have experienced, not because of the oppo-

sition but because of the rough conditions on the lake. “ I nearly trashed the boat�. Decided by a points score over two heats, the 2010 and 2011 champion came out on top in both events. With his regular support in Colin Gordon unavailable for the trip, Price was grateful that a Renmark mate Michael Arnet stepped into the breach at short notice to join him for the event. As far as the future in the sport is concerned, Price said “I

am still interested in stepping up in class but I am not rushing into it and will keep a look out for any opportunities that may ariseâ€?. “Meanwhile I was lucky to ďŹ nd out about the event at Lake Glenmaggie. “I had kept a look out for it for much of the year but with all the confusion, I pretty well gave up and would have missed out if I had not received that surprise phone call as I had received no ofďŹ cial notice that the championship was on.â€?
