club shuts doors By BRAD PERRY
AFTER more than 50 years as a landmark in the Riverland, The Berri Club went into voluntary administration on Tuesday after “relatively poor trading in recent times”. The business has shut its doors and Mark Hall and Timothy Clifton, of Adelaide based corporate recovery practice Clifton Hall have been appointed as administrators. Clifton Hall senior manager
Daniel Lopresti said the club’s board appointed voluntary administrators due to its current financial position. “The club had been trading relatively poorly in recent times and so the board has done the best they can to manage the affairs of the business but decided to appoint Tim Clifton and Mark Hall as administrators,” he told the Riverland Weekly. “The business will cease immediately, unfortunately because there
are insufficient funds available to allow the administrators to continue to trade but we’ll be looking at selling the property and the business as a whole in the coming weeks. “Really the focus for the administrators will be trying to achieve the sale of the business and the property and there will be a bit more information at the next creditor’s meeting which is scheduled to be held on Friday, February 22.” n Continued Page 4

The poison that will be used is 1080. The active ingredient in 1080 is identical to a substance found in a range of native plant species that occur in Western Australia, making native animals tolerant to the poison. 1080 poison degrades readily in the environment and poses minimal risk to off target species. There is no danger posed to the public but it is advised that people visiting these sites within the specified dates use caution and avoid any oat trails they encounter. Dog owners are advised that domestic dogs should not be left unsupervised and are kept restrained or muzzled if near these areas. Dogs are very susceptible to 1080. Dogs can be seriously affected if they eat poisoned oats and will suffer from secondary poisoning if they consume a rabbit that has eaten 1080 oats. Signs will be erected at site entrances and along the River Murray alerting visitors travelling by car and boat of the poison oat presence. Neighbouring landholders to the sites will be notified at least 72 hours in advance.

State brand to be revealed RIVERLAND community leaders will be given the chance to discuss key research findings from the team developing South Australia’s new brand at a meeting tomorrow. With the state’s brand set to be revealed on March 6, Economic Development Board director Patrick Robinson and strategic consultant Peter Joy will meet invited community business leaders in Berri to provide an overview on how the Branding South Australia development process has advanced. Mr Joy described the process as a “fascinating exercise” and while he said he is unable to reveal the make up of the brand, it is not “ads and logos”. “One of the big battles I am having is that a brand is much more than a logo and a tag line,” Mr Joy told the Riverland Weekly. “If the Riverland’s got a brand, then this new identity will sit alongside rather than try and take it over.
“The important thing is that what we identified is that South Australia is made up of a whole lot of different attributes and it’s how they relate to each other that creates our uniqueness. “It’s a very strong brand but it is made up of real stuff.”
everyone involved’. “The important thing about this project is it’s about a brand for the whole of South Australia’s activities not just tourism, it involves education, trade and export, investment, migration and tourism but it’s
The important thing about this project is it’s about a brand for the whole of South Australia’s activities. Mr Joy said the brand is vital for the future branding and marketing of South Australia. Initially the Riverland was a late inclusion to the list of meetings first held to discuss the concept of the state’s own branding. “The Riverland session was part of seven different exercises that we ran around the state,” Mr Joy said. “It’s (tomorrow’s meeting) a feedback session to say ‘thank you for your input, now this is what we got from
a collective. “The Riverland has a really important part to play because it is its own diverse region, it’s unlike the Eyre Peninsula, it’s unlike the Flinders, it has to stand for what it is.” Mr Joy said the state is not “one simple entity” but is in fact made up of a wide range of diverse offerings. “I think a mistake in developing a state brand would be to try and normalise or average all of the diversity that exists within the state but in fact the
opposite is true,” Mr Joy said. “I think it is recognising that each region contributes different things and I mean that not just in a tourism sense but in an economic sense and a broader sense.” South Australia’s new state brand will be revealed at an event in Elder Park in Adelaide on March 6 and displayed to the public over the following nights. Premier Jay Weatherill said more than 3500 South Australians have contributed ideas for the project. “While there are some great success stories for trade and investment in our state, it can be difficult for South Australians to break through at an international level,” he said. “Too often, people are unaware of where South Australia is. “This brand will help South Australia be noticed in a way that sets us apart from other places.”

International pathologist’s local tour INTERNATIONAL plant pathologist Themis Michailides was “impressed” by the pistachio and almond crops growing in the Riverland during a tour of the region this week. From the University of California, Mr Michailides was invited by the Australian Pistachio Industry to tour the Riverland and Sunraysia regions. He said crops appear to be in good conditions and well recovered from any impacts of the weather effected 2011 season. “In 2011 the pistachio industry had a disaster because of the excessive rains during harvest time,” Mr Michailides said. “They had a lot of crop loses, 40 to 50 per cent of the crop was lost because of anthracnose which is a major disease and that time they were caught by surprise. “I’ve been an expert in pistachio diseases because I’ve been researching disease of pistachios for more than 25 years, so the industry notified me of the disaster and they wanted to help to see what we can do so we will be ready for it next time this happens.” Mr Michailides said one disease he has observed during his trip is the lower limb dieback, which is of concern for local nut growers. “I didn’t know they have a disease that we also have in California and this is the lower limb dieback. “As you can see a lot of these branches are dying and this is a problem we studied in California for some years because it was destroying some of our crops and the Californian Al-

mond Board supported research to find the cause.” CMV Farms managing director David Crawford, who has almond crops at Lindsay point, winegrapes in Murtho and pistachios in Robinvale, said growers lost about $15 million from the anthracnose problem in 2011 and sought help and advice from Mr Michailides. “We went to California and looked at what they are doing with pistachio diseases over there and Themis gave us a great deal of help,” he said. “We’ve stopped the rain and we’ve stopped the disease but in the
meantime we’ve been able to develop a good protocol for protection against disease and also some control against disease.” Loxton based plant pathologist Peter Magarey said the visit by the internationally recognised fungal disease specialist has been a long time in the making. “It’s a really good thing to have a plant pathologist come with the expertise that Themis has,” he said. “We’ve been wanting him to come to Australia for the grape industry and other issues, mostly tree issues, for a long, long time, for 30 years.”

Hearing services to increase in the Riverland FOR hearing impaired children such as Hudson Pearce, help from the Cora Barclay Centre has played an important role in his life. The Cora Barclay Centre currently works with providing auditory and verbal therapy to nine-year-old St Joesph’s School Renmark student to help him through his schooling. Now with Federal Government funding, the Adelaide based centre is expanding its services further into the Riverland. And for the first time next week thanks to the funding, Hudson will speak one-on-one with a member of the organisation through video conferencing, whereas before he was using email correspondence. Cora Barclay Centre program manager Robyn Phillips said being able to provide further services to the Riverland is a major step forward. “Cora Barclay is part of an alliance of national centres, there’s one in each state,” she said. “We put in with Vision Australia for tenders put out by the Federal Government to provide vision and hearing services to children in regional and remote Australia to support them via video conferencing and other means.” The tenders were successful for $4.1 million across Australia and that now can provide support for 110 children over

He is pictured with the school’s special education co-ordinator Emily Caruso and teacher Greg Reeks this week. three years. “I would think especially for children in Catholic and independent schools, there wouldn’t be a service at all that I know of (in the Riverland),” Mrs Phillips said. “The Department of Education would provide a service into their schools for some early intervention children but the difference is that we have early intervention specialists and school support specialists, so we are able to provide one to
one services from a person who has had specialist training in the area they are working in.” Mrs Phillips said up to 10 children in the Riverland have been identified as requiring help from the Adelaide centre. Being able to provide this support is vital for the children’s future, according to Mrs Phillips. “We work with children who are deaf and hearing impaired from diagnosis which is around birth until the end of
their schooling and we continue to support them in our audiology services throughout their life,” she said. “The average reading age of deaf adults is still grade four level worldwide. “If those services are not provided to them by experts, the children grow up to be an adult who has literacy issues, general academic issues, they are less employable, can have mental health issues and social and emotional issues.”

A FREEDOM of Information (FOI) search has revealed that the Patient Assistance Transport Scheme, which is regularly used by Riverland residents, is being underfunded by the State Government. Family First MLC Rob Brokenshire requested the FOI after a conversation with former Health Minister John Hill. PATS is paid on a per-kilometre rate and/or for accommodation costs for country patients who need to attend Adelaide, interstate or regional centre health services because their health needs cannot be met in their local community. In a letter to Mr Brokenshire, the former health minister stated that PATS budget would be $7.7
million in 2012-13. “Family First had already conducted a Freedom of Information search and the result showed that for the three years prior to 2011/12, PATS paid a total of $7.9m, $9.4m, $9.3m and $6.9m to 2010/11,” Mr Brokenshire said. “So historically the level has been above $7.7m.” Mr Brokenshire said a partial figure for 2011/12 for the first three and a half months found payouts for PATS to be $2.26 million, trending well above the allocation. “I’m always concerned about the allocations for the PATS scheme because when country people have a serious health problem they don’t need further

pressure on them due to lack of PATS funding,” he said. “I wrote to the former minister, who told me in a letter back that it is not an issue, we are trying to get some money from the Commonwealth but not withstanding that we are going to put $7.7 million into it this year, which is an increase above CPI. “I thought ‘that doesn’t sound right’, so I did the FOI and if you have a look at the average over the past four years, it has been as high as $9.4 million. “I need a please explain for the government and I’ve written to the new minister asking him to explain what’s happening because $7.7 million’s clearly not enough if they were contrib-
uting $9.4 million and that’s why people are having trouble getting approval.” Mr Brokenshire said PATS must be available to those that need it in country areas such as the Riverland. “The reality is that a lot of key services for people are not available in the country so the government must subsidise these people adequately because it can be quite expensive when you have to regularly travel to the city and stay in the city,” he said. “What it means is that people are either going to get restricted PATS support or little PATS support which puts a further financial burden on them and their family.”
Ripped off at the bowser RIVERLAND motorists were hit with an unexpected spike in petrol prices last wedek, in what the RAA believes was a blatant rip off. The RAA received a number of complaints over a 24hour period last week from a number of country motorists who were shocked by the unexpected hike of up to 13 cents per litre. RAA Senior Analyst Chris West said prices in the townships of Kadina, Mount Gambier, Murray, Bridge, Naracoorte, Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Port Pirie, Renmark and Victor Harbor are of most concern. “Many of these towns had maximum prices in the low to mid $1.40cpl range, but these prices all moved up to
13cpl at the same time over the last 24 hours,” he said. “This is a blatant rip off. “The industry can legitimately increase prices by 3cpl due to recent wholesale price increases, but certainly not up to 13cpl.” Analysis of fuel data revealed that the largest price spikes occurred in towns with large supermarket fuel outlets. “Motorists in these affected towns are being held to ransom,” Mr West said. “The only way they can access a fair price is by using the full double discount offered by the supermarkets. “This issue must be looked into by the ACCC in its investigation of shopper dockets to determine wheth-
er the supermarkets are trying to recoup their lost profits in metropolitan areas from country motorists. As of yesterday, most petrol outlets across the Riverland had returned to the low $1.40 cents per litre but some still maintained the price of $1.55 cents per litre or more.
Motorists in these affected towns are being held to ransom.

All’s rosey for Valentine’s Day TODAY, thousands of flowers will be sent across the Riverland and beyond for Valentine’s Day. Across Australia more than five million stems of roses are being handed to love ones, while local florists will welcome an economic boost. Ruston’s Roses director Anne Ruston said demand for flowers has been exceptional. “We are slightly up on last year and last year was the biggest we’d had for a while,” she said. While many partners have left Valentine’s Day gifts to the last minute again this

year, Mrs Ruston said the Renmark based business has regulars each Valentine’s Day. Today is the second biggest day on the calendar for florists, with only Mother’s Day eclipsing today’s flower rush. Mrs Ruston said the continual heat has been challenging with almost all of the flowers at Ruston’s Roses wiped out in January but they have made a full recovery. She said a large percentage of customers are turning to the traditional rose as a gift. “Since we’ve been doing it, in recent years the tradition has swung back to roses,” she said.
Evocities campaign moves ahead without a partner region A CAMPAIGN aimed at attracting people from city life to live, work and invest in the Riverland is still on the cards but is progressing without a partner region. The Renmark Paringa Council had previously discussed applying for Federal funding under the Evocities program, a model used interstate to help grow regional areas. Initially council thought it could work together on the concept with neighbouring regional areas but that idea is now no longer going ahead. “It (Evocities) was a public relations campaign run by SHJ which was very clever and very targeted with a strong online presence in effectively trying to attract people from Sydney to live in areas like
Orange and Dubbo,” Renmark Paringa Council chief executive officer Tony Siviour said. “It’s something that Regional Development Australia has picked up on behalf of the region, so we’ve had an updated proposal from SHJ, the consultant company that did it in New South Wales. “It is not something that is dead and buried, it is still something that we are looking at. “We looked at different business partners in terms of the Barossa, Limestone Coast but we didn’t get a lot of interest out of it so at this stage we are looking at a scaled down version and looking at it purely as the Riverland.” Mr Siviour said left over Futures Taskforce funds could be used on
the Evocities concept, which has been a success interstate since being introduced in 2009. “It’s a slightly scaled down version of what we wanted to do originally but there was some funding left over from the Futures Fund implementation money that the RDA got, so that’s one of the projects we are looking at possibly using that money for,” he said. “In terms of the councils in New South Wales, it benefited them a lot in attracting people to live and work in their communities which is something that is obviously of interest to us.” The Riverland Futures Taskforce had previously shown that the region could potentially grow its

Major hurdle passed for river plan PLANS by the Federal Government to deliver an extra 450 gigalitres of water to the Murray Darling Basin were passed through parliament last week. The major hurdle in the Murray Darling Basin Plan was overcome when the legislation passed, which also means an additional $1.77 billion has been secured. South Australian Murray Irrigators chairperson Caren Martin said having a plan for the future of the River Murray can only help irrigators.
“That was really the final major hurdle,” she said. “It will mean it is the first time the Federal Government comes in as a main player in the water game, so they now have a lot more say in what the states can and can’t do when times get tough. “I think for South Australia and South Australian irrigators, that is a good thing because it means from the next drought, we as a state will not be held responsible for the national assets of Co-

Want to get off the Grid? Most of us are familiar with grid-connect Solar Power Systems. These are commonly installed to help offset or eliminate our electricity bills that we receive for buying power from the grid. What if you don’t have grid access? Maybe you live in a remote area, maybe the cost of getting power to your property is prohibitive. Maybe you just want to be independent in regards to your power generation… You need a Standalone or off grid power solution. People building new homes in locations that are even a few hundred metres from the grid can encounter large costs for ETSA grid extension, trenching and cable runs. These people along with shack owners, mobile work crews and others are perfect candidates for self generation of power and independence from the grid. Typically, systems involve Solar Panels and an Inverter much the same as a grid-connect system, but the power generated is stored in batteries for use at night. Backup generators are usually integrated into the system which may have self-start or manual start, LPG, Petrol or Diesel generators. These systems can work seamlessly to provide power if designed and installed by a professional Stand-alone Power Specialist.

orong and Chowilla, it will become a national responsibility as it should have been in the first place. “I think on a whole it’s a good thing for South Australian irrigators and we applaud the fact over decades of hard work it has managed to get itself through. “It also gives everybody certainty and a pathway on how to federally manage basin resources for a triple bottom line outcome.” However, Mrs Martin said the state’s irrigators must
remain cautious. “Experience has taught us that when you do the right thing you tend to get penalised for it, so the law is a fickle thing, so come 2019 is it going to be as we see it now?” she said. “We are at risk again of being early adopters and being penalised for it. “If they all hold to their words, as we see them now, the burden on South Australian irrigators is very much reduced on what we’ve seen in the past.”

Fund leverage could double project opportunities SOUTH Australian regional development minister Gail Gago has claimed that by leveraging the remaining $5 million of the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund, double the number of projects may be able to access the money. With the announcement of further funding to a Berri business last week, $5 million now remains in the fund and the State Government has committed it to leverage from the $100 million Murray-Darling Basin Regional Economic Diversification Program. Following a number of questions from the Opposition about the Futures Fund in Parliament last week, Minister Gago said “we just want to throw money at the Riverland”. “Here we have an opportunity from the Murray-Darling Basin Regional Economic Diversification Program, something like $100 million of commonwealth money, an opportunity to leverage money from that,”
she said. “This is just an opportunity which says that instead of it being one government dollar, the commonwealth will put a dollar in and double the money - it doubles the government contribution.
Gago said commitment has been made to spend the remaining money in the region. “People there were very hard done by because of the drought and we said that we would commit that $20 million over a four-year period for projects
Instead of delivering say five of the projects...we might be able to fund 10. “It beggars belief that the Liberal opposition wants us to go out and crawl through more red tape to access that money. “We still had moneys in that fund and here was an opportunity where instead of delivering say five of the projects that are in the pipeline for the Riverland we might be able to fund 10 of those projects.” Following claims by the Liberal’s John Dawkins that the State Government was causing a delay on the fund, Minister
in the Riverland dealing with investments, sustainability, business growth, etc,” she said. “We have stuck with that. We have honoured that. We have committed $15 million. “I am on the public record making it very clear, interview after interview, that $20 million will be committed over the same four-year period.” Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said the $20 million must be spent in the Riverland and not used as part of a 2014
“election war chest”. He said the Riverland community had not been consulted on the sudden decision last year to withhold part of the Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund. “Businesses in the Riverland need certainty,” he said. “Businesses which have been successful applying to the fund should be commended, but there are many others with worthy projects who have been denied or left on hold to apply to a pool of Federal money. “Minister Gago appears to have committed a quarter of the fund to ‘leverage’ money from a Federal program, the details of which have not even been worked out, and has admitted there is no guarantee of success. “If she’s not successful, when will the Minister reopen the fund to applications by Riverland businesses? “Just before the next State election?”
Whetstone’s new role in Shadow Cabinet reshuffle MEMBER for Chaffey Tim Whetstone has been appointed Parliamentary Secretary to Deputy State Liberal Leader Vickie Chapman as part of State Liberal Leader Steven Marshall’s Shadow Cabinet reshuffle. “This reshuffle is a fresh approach, with a team with fresh ideas that will deliver a better future for South Australians,” Mr Whetstone said. “The entire State Liberal team is committed to working together every single day for a fresh start for South Australians. “I look forward to working closely with Vickie Chapman, and the rest of the Liberal
team led by Steven Marshall, to deliver a better future for South Australia. “I’m also very confident the Liberal Party’s focus on key issues in the Chaffey electorate, such as water and the River Murray, will continue with the new Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Primary Industries and Environment, David Ridgway, and the Shadow Minister for Water and the River Murray, Michelle Lensink. “David and Michelle have a tremendous understanding of these issues and I will also be working closely with them to ensure Chaffey’s views are represented.”

the 2013 federal election in barker
Nationals candidate “frustrated” over Barker representation NEWLY announced Nationals candidate for the seat of Barker James De Barro has been disappointed and frustrated with the representation given to the area for a number of years. The Keith based agricultural advisor said he decided to “stick up my hand and have a go” rather than just sit and complain. “I’ve been, for some time now, disappointed and frustrated like many members of the Australian public and certainly the electorate of Barker, especially in the leadership shown by the politicians or elected members,” he told the Riverland Weekly. “In a conservative seat that this has been for over 100 years, it’s important for me to really explain to the best of my abilities that the voters can still maintain the coalition representation that they seek but to have a representative like myself from the Nationals.
“I will be the only person in South Australia that represents, at a Federal level from a South Australian position, rural people’s points of view. “The Federal Coalition is dominated by city based and city focussed Liberals that drown out the views of any rural Liberal MP.” As chair of the Keith and District Hospital, Mr De Barro said he will use his experience in the field to improve medical care across Barker.
“Underpinning all of that is a continuous supply of doctors and a succession plan as doctors get older, which is not uncommon, but that we don’t have gaps in servicing that need, that we have plans in place to attract doctors and newly graduated doctors to the region. “You can have health services and flash looking buildings but if you haven’t got doctors underpinning and being supported by the nursing staff then health
I’ve been, for some time now, disappointed and frustrated...in the leadership shown by the politicians. “The other thing which drives me significantly and more particularly because of my experiences in this region at Keith is the ongoing need for maximising health services to the communities,” he said.
services struggle to attract staff. “Obviously in a region like the Riverland where once people finish their more active working life they choose to retire, we need to have appropriate aged care services, residential and
in home, to really move with the times.” Mr De Barro, who has visited the Riverland regularly at Easter over the years, said water is also another key issue. “They (irrigators) need to be able to use the water and store the water when they are not using the water so that they can plan and sustain their businesses and of course, that feeds onto the communities along the River Murray that feed off successful farming operations and the whole network of infrastructure that underpins communities and businesses alike,” he said. Tourism is another area that Mr De Barro said he will focus on and which impacts the Riverland region. “I think there are methods that can be done nationally and internationally to continue to attract investment and tourism to the region.”

Pasin: Agricultural economy is vital Sitting member THE agricultural economy and improving the sustainability of regional communities will be a key focus for Liberal candidate for Barker Tony Pasin. Mr Pasin, who was last year preselected ahead of current Member for Barker Patrick Secker, said supporting Barker’s farmers to stay on farm is a key priority. “We need to be proud about what we do well in this country and what we do is well is produce some of the best primary product in the world,” he said. “Effectively what happens in Australia, in Barker in particular, we produce a fantastic primary product and it has been assessed that we are capturing two per cent of the value chain, so we are losing 98 per cent of the value of that product once we pass it on to others and usually overseas entities. “The question then becomes how do we convert the two per cent of the value chain that we currently grab hold of.” Improving country health services will be another top priority, according to Mr Pasin. “The city-centric Weatherill Labor Government has ignorantly and arrogantly cut funding to country hospitals with no understanding or concern

for the impact this has on the lives of country people,” Mr Pasin said. “We will deliver better health services by putting local communities in charge of their hospitals and improving co-operation with the State at a Federal level.” The Mount Gambier based lawyer said he was “fully anticipating” that there would be a candidate from the National Party for the seat of Barker. “We remind the electors that
the last National candidate, not that I need to remind anyone in the Riverland, was Karlene Maywald who, of course, delivered government to Mike Rann and served as a minister in that government,” he said. “That’s the same government that has turned its back on rural and regional South Australia. “Recent experience in South Australia suggests that a vote for the National party is a vote for Labor.”
SITTING Member for Barker Patrick Secker has defended his representation of the seat following comments from National candidate for Barker James De Barro. In a statement to the Riverland Weekly, Mr Secker said his record of funding speaks for itself. “The National Party candidate in the seat of Barker is wrong and shows a lack of knowledge of funding received in Barker and my influence on water policy and the Murray Darling Basin that was resisted by National Party MPs,” Mr Secker said. “Barker, under my watch, has consistently received the highest federal funding for any SA federal seat in the areas of school funding, road funding, aged care funding, veterans affairs and consistently high funding in many other areas. “It is a useful quality to know the facts in politics before making bold statements
which is an attribute sadly lacking in Mr De Barro’s case.”

Research shows trust needed in finance for seniors NEW research has found many older Australians are as embarrassed about talking to financial advisers as they are about visiting their doctors. National Seniors Productive Ageing Centre’s report The Role of Financial Literacy and Financial Adviser Anxiety in Older Australians Advice Seeking investigated the role of seniors’ financial literacy and anxiety in their decisions about money. The report’s authors, Paul Gerrans from the University of Western Australia, and Douglas A. Hershey of Oklahoma State University in the USA, found the embarrassment about revealing personal details to financial advisers was similar to the reluctance many people experience while disclosing their health problems to
medical professionals. An online survey conducted for the study showed that 46 per cent of respondents reported “mild anxiety” about talking to a financial adviser, while in a quarter of cases, anxiety was rated “moderate” to “severe”. Many were reluctant to reveal personal financial information on subjects such as poor previous investments, their credit card balance, changed employment circumstances and tax liabilities. They worried their advisers would judge them negatively for their past decisions and were also put off by financial market jargon. “Knowledge is power and older people need to feel confident in discussing their financial futures,” National Seniors chief execu-
tive Michael O’Neill said. “Finance professionals should also take steps to gain the trust of their clients by explaining their options in layman’s language and addressing their concerns from the very first meeting.” Nearly half the survey respondents, 47 per cent, said they could only cover their expenses for less than six months without borrowing money or moving house if they suddenly lost their main source of income, a figure of particular concern when older job seekers aged over 55 are out of work for an average of 72 weeks. The report said the disclosure reluctance had the effect of undermining the adviser’s ability to provide appropriate financial advice on matters such as changing super investment
allocations and making salary sacrifice decisions. And while financial products had become more sophisticated and complex over the past 20 years, investors’ knowledge of superannuation and retirement saving had not kept pace, particularly with older women over 69. The report recommended governments, private sector employers and super funds conduct public education campaigns to ensure people were financially well-informed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Looking into rates BEFORE I start I would like to put on my caravanning cap and say that my wife and I have been RV caravanners for over 40 years. Now that our family has left the nest, we feel that we are evolving into (grey) nomads once again. I can see us taking full advantage of the free services and, for a small fee, at the RV caravan parks, like the one being proposed in Barmera. We see merit both for and against the concept which has been well and truly debated and comes back to each individual’s opinion. Surprisingly, I find with this debate that a lot of ratepayers are unaware of Berri’s RV park at Martins Bend. It is situated less than one kilometre up river from Berri’s War Memorial Community Caravan Park. The RV Park at Martins bend boasts in excess of 50 shaded sites for buses, caravans and campers. It has been well supported over the holiday period with over 30 RV vehicles at any one time, none of which were asked to move on for up to 30 days. At times, it would appear that the caravans etc. outnumber those at the Berri community park. Amenities provided at Martins Bend include a toilet block and a dump point, while provision for water is close at hand. Mutiple bins are provided, along with septic holding tanks which are emptied on a regular basis. A new deep sewage pipeline is to be installed in the near future as pat of the Berri waste management scheme. Manicured lawns roll down to the river’s edge, there are free electric barbecues and a proposed playground and boardwalk are in the development stages. A caretaker’s cottage at the cost of what I believe to be $140,000 has been installed to cater for RV users needs and to maintain facilities. One would have to say if you are lucky enough to be a RV user then this is surely heaven on a stick. Now at some point in time I must come back down to earth and put on my reality and ratepayers’ hat, and remember my days with the Barmera Berri Ratepayers Assocciation. We tried to invent ways of reducing the rate and tax burden on our community, which seems to have been completely over looked by our council in these testing times. One of the ways is to introduce a ‘user pays’ scheme on some council projects, which could be implemented here similar to what has been proposed at the Barmera RV park. At the moment everything is free and paid for entirely by the ratepayers with more costs and projects to come. With some of the RV setups worth upwards of $200,000, I don’t believe ratepayers should be funding their holidays as no real benefit exists in its present form to the majority of residents. With a fee in place any further expansions in the area could be self funded. To me, because I wear two hats, I feel it all makes sense and is a better option all round. Back downstream again to the Berri War Memorial Community Caravan Park, whose operating profits are returned to the community via sporting, social clubs and community projects and employs 20 local people. I can’t help thinking what would be said if it was a privately owned park. Maybe this analogy does have some validity. ‘Why are the council giving away free bread when we have a bakery close by?’ Hmm. Maybe this is why our rates are so high.
Your feedback is most welcomed. David and Shirley Moritz, Berri.
Reminiscing about time in Glossop, England I READ your article about Glossop UK (Life in Glossop...England, January 31) that brought back happy memories of both here in Australia and in Glossop, UK. We migrated to South Australia in 1965 as ‘ten pound poms’ with a three month old baby and two toddlers at the invitation and encouragement of the then Government, as migrants do. This was so that us and our children could have a better life. Australians are migrants in their own country but don’t realise it. We have a large country, people go to Adelaide, interstate or overseas for work, study and travel. They need money and/or a job, have to make new friends, find somewhere to live, learn where to purchase food, find their way around the district, enjoy their surroundings and become part of their community by maybe learning a new language. We lived at Christies Beach for 10 years, 20 kilometres south of Adelaide, before migrating some 250 kilometres to the Riverland. We thought we would like to live in the country and possibly start a business? An opportunity came up, which although short lived, enabled us to decide, after a family conference, the Riverland was where we wanted to stay. We lived on a fruit block in Glossop (Riverland) for the next 25 years where the children were able to roam on 10 acres among the vines and fruit trees. We enjoyed the products of our fruit salad block - apricots, almonds, apples, oranges, mandarins, nashi fruit, pecans and sultanas. We all learnt about the seasons, rearing ducks and chickens and how to drive a tractor. We were never hungry and enjoyed the blue sky and sunshine with no pollution. Back to Glossop in England, when I was in my teens (a long time ago) we would go to Mass on Sunday morning, dressed ready to go and catch the local train (we walked because we didn’t have cars). We would travel the short ride to Hayfield then walked to Glossop, stopped off for coffee in the local cafe before returning home. Was it in the cafe in Glossop that we first heard Paul Anka singing ‘Diana’? We also walked to the Snake Inn on the Snake Pass where we bought a shandy and ate our packed lunch in a big barn after which we walked down to Glossop. We would then have a bath (we didn’t have the luxury of showers) got spruced up, caught a bus to cross to the other side of town to go dancing at the local church hall and return the same way. If we were late we needed to walk part of the way home. That was just a typical Sunday. We were off to work again on Monday. I still correspond with those friends in Glossop, UK, some via email and some via ‘snail mail’. Just recently I received a photograph via email of the last time the ‘girls’ all gathered together. I also correspond via email with a girl who used to be in the same class at St Joseph’s convent who lives at Sheffield Road in Glossop, UK. The internet has been useful to help people keep in touch. Unlike our local Riverlanders who are able to have ‘back to school’ celebrations, migrants aren’t able to do that. However, with the internet becoming faster and faster, maybe
it will become more affordable to have video chats in the future. Kathy Caddick, Berri.
Breaking tradition with early election PM Gillard has broken with tradition and announced the election date long in advance. This is an unprecedented move as the date is usually announced not long before the election. The PM says that for businesses to know the election date will give them certainty. She didn’t specify why this certainty was necessary. There has been talk, in the past, of having fixed electoral terms. I believe we are going to hear much about fixed terms in the months ahead. The early announcement is the first salvo in that determination. Oh, comrade Julia, you are indeed very cunning. Jay Nauss, Glen Aplin.
Eight months too long IN my opinion, the Federal ALP Government has well and truly signed its death warrant by inflicting on the population a lengthy ‘American-style’ election campaign. Eight weeks would be too long but eight months? Are they insane? If the voters are already ‘switched off’, they are going to be comatose by September. I have an awful feeling that if Australia becomes a republic, this sort of campaign will become the norm. What an exruciating thought. Alex Hodges, Birdwood.
Praising Barmera THE Barmera community is to be commended for all of their community events. But particularly in recent memory, the spectacular fireworks display on pageant night, carols at Bonney Lodge with the Jericho musicians and choir of male singers that surprised and delighted, the holiday adventures that attracted an amazing group of enthusiastic children and carer adults and the Australia Day free breakfast and ceremony on the lake foreshore. The lake and foreshore never looked better. Nothing lasts forever so, well done to all involved, it is a pleasure to belong here. Jeanette Staehr, Barmera.
Two Coalition candidates for Barker BARKER will be very interesting to watch over the next eight months as two Coalition candidates go head to head to win this prized conservative seat. The current elected Member, Patrick Secker, was unceremoniously dumped by the Liberal Party at the Barker pre-selection last year. He has been the Member since 1998 and has had a less than illustrious political career. In fact, most people would be hard pressed to recall his name. The Liberal Party has replaced Secker with a lawyer from Mt Gambier who is, no doubt, hoping to sail into Parliament without too much effort – after all it is a very safe Coalition seat and has been held by the Liberals for decades. Enter James De Barro and
things have suddenly become very interesting indeed. De Barro has put his hand up as a National Party candidate for the Coalition. The Nationals and the Liberals are two separate parties that come together to form the Coalition. As it currently stands, if the Coalition wins the election, Tony Abbott (Liberal) will be the Prime Minister and Warren Truss (National) will be the Deputy Prime Minister. Barker will be a win for the Coalition, whichever candidate wins. Let’s for a moment explore what will change if De Barro is elected. There will be no impact on the election result as De Barro will be a member of the Coalition Government. South Australia will still have a majority of Liberal Members in the Coalition but will gain an additional avenue of influence through representation in the National Party for the first time. This has to be a good thing. De Barro, as a National will join the Coalition with the Party that has Regional Australia as its primary reason for being. Compare that to electing another Liberal who will join the Coalition with the Party that is swamped by city based members. In Government it is the National Party who will hold the key regional portfolios of Agriculture, Regional Development, and Transport – very important portfolios for regional South Australia. Oh, and another thing. Don’t be fooled by the Liberals decrying that a vote for De Barro is a vote for the Labor Party. This makes no more sense than saying a vote for Barnaby Joyce is a vote for Labor. The electors in Barker are now fortunate to have a choice of candidates for the Coalition. A choice that is normally only available to a limited number of party members at pre-selections. Barker will definitely be one to watch. Jonathan Pietzsch, S.A. Young Nationals president, Kingston SE.
Compiling our history IN 1938, Australia was trying to recover from the great depression. A depression means that there is very little work for people, no pensions, no baby bonus and no dole. Most people were very poor during that time. My father died when I was only two years of age and we had very little money. My mother found it really hard because where we lived was on a station and there was no work for a mother with a baby. We shifted to Loveday, where my mother hoped that she would be able to get some work picking grapes, cutting apricots, picking peas or doing house work. While my mother was at work, my grandmother looked after myself and my sister. With two babies, my mother found it very hard to earn enough money to provide food to feed us all.
Then when World War II started, it was not long before we had ration tickets, which were required to buy food, clothing and petrol for your car (if you had one). We had our own cows for milk, cream and butter, as well as hens to lay eggs. A large number of people only had a horse and cart used for transport and to plow and cultivate the soil to grow vines or vegetables. We had no electricity, no fridge, a water bag to keep our drinking water cool and there was certainly no radio or television. As children we had to amuse ourselves with our own games and toys. Some families were so poor that their children did not have shoes to wear to school and most of us had patched clothing. We would go to Barmera to take the cream from our livestock to the railway station on its way to the butter factory in Wanbi to make some money. When the Loveday Internment Camps were built, to earn some money we sold milk to the camp and we also had soldier’s wives and children staying with us. I also picked up the paper to be recycled for the school Patriotic Fund as a volunteer and this was my way of helping with the war effort. It was also the start of me becoming very interested in history. I found it was very important to record things that happened in our lifetime. From my point of view, collecting from that day has helped me explain to people about how hard it was during the depression compared to all of the government handouts we receive today. I still have my badges from the government that were earned at the Loveday School, back in those war years and they mean a lot to me. Now I can show them to people and demonstrate how I learned to be a volunteer to help others as well as ourselves. Over the past few years since I joined the Barmera Branch of the National Trust, I have had the opportunity to be able to collect a very large amount of history to document the war years locally. By collecting it, we now know it will not be hidden in a dark room somewhere and instead on display in the local National Trust museum it could be perserved for future generations. Anyone who has any information, photos or books relating to local history, including the Loveday camps, the Barmera National Trust would gladly accept your donations. We are also interested in finding new members who are interested in our history as at the moment our average age is about 70 years young. Max Scholz, Barmera.

Ben’s our top apprentice WAIKERIE’s Ben Platten has been awarded the title of Apprentice of the Year in front of a capacity crowd of 250 people at the Renmark Hotel on Friday night. The GB Electrical and Security Services apprentice was voted the winner of the 2012 Riverland and Mallee Vocational Awards by an esteemed panel of local judges. While, Mr Platten said he was surprised by the win, he said it means a lot to his career and the work he has put in. “There were a lot of good applicants and when I actually got there (to the awards) and I saw the number of people and what some of them had achieved, I didn’t think there was much chance of me winning,” he said. “First off, it is a reward for the amount of effort I’ve put into TAFE over the last three years. “Having two kids and a wife, it takes a bit more effort coming down to Tradeschool in Adelaide, so straight off the reward for the effort that’s gone in there and also the recognition to go forward and show other people what I’ve done and how much effort I’m willing to put in.” Following a workplace injury as a mechanic, Mr Platten began to rethink his career options and took an interest in solar installation. Now near completion of his apprenticeship as an electrotechnology electrician, Mr Platten hopes the award win can help enhance his career. “I’ve already done the study for stand alone power systems which you can do without an electrical license but now that I’m nearly finished my apprenticeship, I can get my grid connect license,” he said. Other winners on the night include Pure Skin Beauty Therapy’s Phillippa Stanton as Trainee of the Year, Glossop High School’s Lisa Cmrlec won the top Vocational Education Training Student honour and Bradley Hembling was named the Australian School Based Apprentice of the year for his work at May Fabrications in Kingston. Courtney Proud was named runner-up Apprentice of the Year and Claire Morris was the runner-up Trainee of the Year. Industry awards were also presented to Brent Winen (automotive), Courtney
Proud (graphic arts), Nicole Tate (hairdressing), Ben Evans (building and construction), Ben Platten (electrical) and Teagan Matthews (bakery). Rotary Club of Berri member and event organiser Robin Foley said the night was an outstanding success. “We were absolutely delighted with the way the whole evening went and the young people on the night were amazing,” she said. “The judges were incredibly impressed with the quality of applicants. “The Riverland has a great future with such high quality young people working in our region.”

The perfect place to retire at Warrawee Lodge in Waikerie THE Waikerie Community Senior Citizens’ Home Inc. operates a retirement village called Warrawee Lodge incorporating 80 independent units within the village and additional land to build new homes built for life. Known for its community feel, Warrawee Lodge is an ideal place to retire, while living close to the Waikerie town centre. To add to the beautifully landscaped gardens and BBQ areas, a recreation room is also currently
under construction. The recreation room will offer a purpose designed space to enjoy happy hour, access to computers, exercises, card playing, a library and room for residents to use for personal and village functions. Warrawee Lodge is wellestablished, secure and quiet village that is close to all facilities such as the local gym, shops, bowling greens and the sporting field.
Public warned to watch out for scooters MOBILITY scooters are becoming more and more popular for the elderly as a way to get around the community effecitvely. However, over the years, the safety of scooters on the streets has come into question. So much so that the Rotary Club of Berri has just finished recording a television advert highlighting the dangers posed by the public to those using mobility vehicles. According to the ACCC, the most common mobility scooter accidents are collisions with cars, pedestrians or trees, scooters toppling over on uneven footpaths
and gutters, or riders falling out. But little is known about how these accidents happen or who is at fault. Chances are, accidents like this will only increase as Australia’s population ages. If the estimate of 100,000 is correct, this means they outnumber buses, campervans or semitrailers on the road. Anecdotally, scooter sales have more than trebled in the past decade and will keep climbing over the next 40 years as the population of over70s (the biggest users of scooters) is expected to more than double, according to drive.com.au
Under new management, Warrawee Lodge is offering the unique opportunity to build your own home in the future as part of the village or purchase an existing home. Using local builders, homes built in the future will be designed with wider doors, no steps or ramps and a large bathroom suitable for wheelchair access. There are also future plans for in home care at Warrawee Lodge. All gardens are cared for and
maintenance is conducted on your home by the organisation. This continues when you are away on holidays, your home is looked after at all times. With friendly and caring staff and a proactive board, management understands the needs of people who are ageing and are continually working to make Warrawee Lodge the best place to live. If you purchase or build a home at Warrawee, you are not
required to pay for council or water rates as they are included. So if you are looking to downsize or your garden is too hard to manage, feel like some company and are over the age of 55, then consider Warrawee Lodge. Warrawee Lodge management is holding on Open Day on March 3 from 10am to 12 with available homes for sale to be viewed and a sausage sizzle for the family.

Dinghy line-up funds donated to Foodbank
n donation: Renmark Club manager Brenton Franks (left) hands over a cheque for more than $500 to Riverland Foodbank’s Peter Smith this week and (below) the world record attempt of dinghies recently. OVER $500 was this week donated to Riverland Foodbank by the Renmark Club from funds collected during the world record attempt to line up dinghies recently. While the 218 dinghies that lined up were well short of last year’s 305, Renmark Club manager Brenton Franks said raising money for a good cause makes it all worthwhile. Reece Glazbrook jumped from boat to boat during the
event, even swimming between vessels when there was a gap between the boats, to collect the funds. Riverland Foodbank manager Peter Smith said the donation will go towards the day to day running of the not-forprofit business. “It’s much appreciated,” he said. “We’ve now got well over 32 agencies, including three or four in the Sunraysia, Mildura area.”

Lord of controversy CONTROVERSIAL climate change sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton has called on both the Federal and State Government to decrease the “bureaucratic interference” in the lives of local growers during a trip to the Riverland last week. Sponsored and jointly hosted by Independent MLC Ann Bressington and by FLAG Australia incorporated, Lord Monckton began his South Australian tour this month, visiting farms and hosting an evening at the Berri Resort Hotel last week. Lord Monckton claims there are restrictions being placed on farmers in the region that should not be there. “I notice that the Natural Resources Management Board has been imposing restrictions on farmers which would be a dubious validity even in a drought but certainly don’t seem to be at all reasonable now that you haven’t got a drought,” he said. “I came to Berri because it very much part of the picture which is building up here in South Australia of unreasonable interference by bureaucrats, in particular, in the normal activities of farmers going about their business.” One of the major impacts on business in the Riverland is the Federal Government’s carbon tax, according to Lord Monckton. “Among those who kindly came to our meeting in Berri were some very substantial farmers, one of whom said that his business alone had been hit by costs of an extra $500,000 a year because of the carbon tax,” he said. “My purpose was to say to them and others in the locality, the carbon tax is unnecessary because we do not

By GRAHAM CHARLTON AT THE start of the sailing of the fifth heats of the club championships at Lake Bonney last Saturday, encouraging north west winds had the mosquitos really buzzing along ahead of the Paper Tigers but a sudden drop in the breeze slowed the fleet down. Sailors then needed to be alert as they tried to get an advantage in the wind shifts and the changing conditions
with some locating gusts to take them home and others becoming becalmed. It was probably no surprise then that in Miscellaneous Cats, Paper Tigers, experienced John Eshman with ‘Talisman’ finished ahead of Robin Bawden sailing ‘Merlin’ and Steve Thomas with ‘Shore Leave’. In Pacers, ‘Sea Chook’ with Tim Ridley and Gordon Pipe onboard, beat home ‘First Tern’ sailed by Ellyn and
Belinda Cale. This Saturday will see the sailing of the annual EB Farmer Perpetual Trophy race with the club committee deciding, as they do each year, which class will compete for the title. As a result it will be the Pacers, with seniors and juniors eligible, that will strive for the prestigious win. Meanwhile, sail training sessions from 10am each Saturday morning are up and running again.

n ADELAIDE’S Clipsal 500 V8 Supercar carnival is already the biggest and best motorsport extravaganza in the country so when it takes another quantum leap forward that’s really big news for fans. “Nissan and Erebus Motorsport V8 will race for the first time against Holden and Ford in the V8 Supercar Championship but that is only one of the new attractions we have for this year’s event,” Clipsal 500 Adelaide chief executive Mark Warren said. “On track on all four days of the event is the world’s foremost gymkhana and master rally driver Ken Block. “Tens of millions of fans have viewed his extreme
antics and car control on YouTube and now he will be making an exclusive live appearance at our event. “Add to that the concert line-up with Kiss, Motley Crue, Hilltop Hoods, The Angels, Ian Moss, Justice Crew and The Collective and you have a remarkable event.” At the first round of the 2013 V8 Supercar Championship all eyes will focus on the performance of the four new Nissan V8 Supercars led by star driver Rick Kelly together with the debut of three Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG V8 Supercar race cars. The local link with the new Erebus Motorsport V8 team is particularly strong with its leading driver being South Australian Tim Slade who finished fifth in last
year’s Championship. Other major attractions include the ArmorAll Extreme Top 50 Car Show with the world’s best custom car Wild Cad, the Showtime FMX Freestyle Moto Stunt team and stunt rider Matt Mingay, drag racing demonstrations, ‘Route 66’ featuring a nostalgic display of fifties and sixties cars, the Porsche Kids Driving School and the official AFL Footy Fest featuring the 18 official mascots. The 2013 Clipsal 500 Adelaide will be held from February 28 to March 3. Tickets are available from Ticketek by phoning 132 849 or online at www.ticketek.com.au For more event information visit www.clipsal500. com.au

Loxton’s baseball upset Riverland junior basketballers ready to... n BASEBALL travelled to Waikerie last Saturday night and in front of a good crowd Loxton caused a major upset by defeating defending champion Berri Red convincingly 10-2. Loxton got on top early as strong hitting by Danny Fielke and Roger Taylor set up opportunities for a 5-1 lead at the end of the second innings that increased to 8-2 by the time the fourth innings was over. At the same time, Berri was never able to get on top with the bat as Taylor produced a fine pitching performance throughout the contest. Also under the Wildcats’ pressure, Berri Red fell into numerous uncustomary errors that allowed Loxton to maintain a steady stream of runners on bases. Nick Kuhn and popular local Waikerie Magpies’ footballer Glen Schreiber were amongst a series of pitchers for the warriors but although they had their moments they could not end the confident Loxton side’s dominance. In other games, Renmark Blue defeated Renmark White 15-0 and Lyrup forfeited to Berri Blue.
Big field of cyclists at Barmera n IN ONE of the biggest fields for a Sunday road race for some time, last weekend 17 cyclists took part at the Barmera lakefront with 11 riders involved in a close sprint to the finish line. After Shane Pitman, Chris Gartery, Angus Boase and Steve Jaensch caught the main group with eight kilometres to go in the 40 kilometre event, it was Pitman, Gartery, Boase and Peter Burr in order for line honours. The average speed recorded was a solid 37.5 kilometres per hour. In the previous week’s criterium racing at Monash, Pitman also took out A grade from Jacob Otto and Peter Schammer, while Burr won B grade, Dennis Robinson C grade, Jason Rogers D grade and Tim Ridley won E grade.
Inspirational win for Renmark n RENMARK pulled off an inspirational victory against Berri, chasing down the Demon’s 203 with six wickets down. Dale Lindner’s well composed 79, Liam Jackson’s 34 and 51 from wicket keeper Morgan Smith guided the team to a total of 9/215. Paul Burnett battled with the ball for Berri snaring 6/75 from 26.5 overs. Gary Branford also picked up three wickets. In the other match, Loxton defended its lowly total of 147 thanks to Jake Albrecht’s 5/30 from 19.3 overs, including eight maidens. Phil Valentine top scored for Waikerie Ramco with 60 in a total of 131, while veteran Michael Gutsche’s offspin provided remarkable figures of 2/15 from 16 overs. In the second innings, Loxton finished at 8/103 with Kale Smith (35) and Albrecht (24) top scoring.
Play ball n WHEN a Riverland junior basketball carnival was reintroduced after an absence of 10 years or more in 2012, 14 teams took part, playing a total of 31 matches. When the tournament is held again this weekend there will be 39 teams and 92 games on the program. Because of the big increase in teams, participating venues to be used are the Barmera, Glossop High School, Loxton, Renmark and Our Lady of the River (Berri) stadiums. Matches will be played from 9am until 9pm on Saturday and from 8am to 2pm on Sunday in both girls and boys age groups from under 12 to under 18.

n WITH only this Saturday’s round to be played, Renmark’s 68-62 shots win in men’s first division pennant bowls on Saturday settled positions in the final four as Berri, Renmark, Loxton and Loxton RSL. Renmark and Loxton shared the four rinks but an 18-12 victory by John Thompson’s four over Vic Pavia proved decisive. Top side Berri won comfortably 87-69 against Waikerie, winning three rinks with Andrew Hill and Wayne Collins finishing square on 21-21. In the other match, 2012/13 newcomer Loxton RSL’s recent form continued to warn the other finalists that it is just not there to make up the numbers. It has a preview of the knockout first semi-final this Saturday against Loxton at Loxton and this
looms as a titanic clash as the neighbours battle for the high ground going into the following weekend. Loxton RSL defeated Renmark RSL 104-54 even though it lost one rink to Mal Inglis as Ken Weeks, Lew Westbrook and Steve Roberts all led their sides to comfortable victories. While the finalists at top level may be settled, that is far from the situation in second division. In a top of the table clash on Saturday, Renmark Gold took over first position from Berri Red with a 55-53 victory. Moorook, on 129 points, looks safe for the major round in third position. However, which team will make up the final four is well hidden and the importance of winning individual rinks was il-

It seems to be down to rink results. Also in third division, fourth spot is still under dispute with Loxton Yellow, after going down badly to a surging Loxton RSL last Saturday, hanging onto fourth ranking on 91 points closely followed by Loxton RSL on 87 and Monash with 86. This week Loxton Yellow meets Monash (6th), while Loxton RSL plays Renmark (9th). Not to be left out, fourth division could also have shoot outs for third and fourth positions as Monash, third on 107 points, plays second placed Berri, while Loxton White, fourth on 99, faces top placed Waikerie and Barmera, with 96 points, perhaps has a chance to surge when it meets lowly Loxton Orange.

lustrated on Saturday. Loxton Black leapt over Monash into fourth spot by defeating Berri Blue three rinks to nil, 66-51, and has 124 points, whereas Monash only won two rinks in accounting for Barmera, 64-44, and has 122 points. But Loxton Green also made a move on the top four by winning three rinks to nil, 72-46, against Renmark Green and also sits on 122 points. Looking at this week’s final round of matches it is obviously Loxton Black that has the toughest day at the office and its visit to the top group may be short lived as it runs into new ladder leader Renmark Gold. On the other hand, Monash plays Renmark Green (13th) and Loxton Green is up against Barmera (14th).

While on junior basketball, a Riverland under 14 team drew with Millicent 31-31 in a play off for third and fourth position in division one boys at a strong carnival at Naracoorte earlier this month. The Riverland trailed by one point at the final buzzer with Josh Sinco headed for the foul line where he sunk one of his two shots to tie the game. A feature of the competition was the Riverland interrupting the undefeated run of eventual champion Mount Gambier in the preliminary round robin matches 34-31. Mount Gambier defeated Naracoorte 29-27 in the grand final.

Big name for Loxton Gift n OVER its history the Nippy’s Athletics Carnival at Loxton has consistently attracted leading runners from across South Australia and interstate. This year’s event, on Saturday, February 23, will be no exception with clearly the most outstanding athlete competing in the SA Athletics League this season coming to Loxton for the meeting. With five meetings remaining in the state for 2012-13, Flagstaff Hill’s Ben Crawford had al-
ready won eight sashes for events ranging from 550 to 3200 metres. In doing so, the fitness fanatic had put a loss of form last season as he struggled to mix track events with his triathlon training behind him and has also recovered from a calf injury. Also other top athletes from SA and a contingent from Victoria will again take part. Loxton, along with Whyalla, are the only two
country centres to hold SAAL meetings such as this since the demise of the Mount Gambier Gift. The organisation, superb oval track, grandstand and the setting under lights in Loxton continues to be acclaimed by both officials and competitors involved. Again, on the program this year there will be a Little Athletics display and relays involving local football and netball clubs.

Fans witness the carnage at speedway n A HUGE crowd involving fans of all ages attended the third meeting for the season at Riverland Speedway on Saturday night with at last the weather being kind to the hard working club. The AMCA Nationals raced the first round of the Aspire Homes Series and as in all racing on the night with big fields, competition was fierce and kept the crowd thoroughly entertained. The AMCA feature was marred by several incidents on the first turn that took out a number of drivers including front rower Nicole Hill and it was Darren ‘Plugger’ McCarthy that got to the line first ahead of Mark Brougham and Raymond Hedley. Another feature event was the annual PA Higgs Memorial for Modified Sedans and from the green light it was always going to be game on with defending champion Wade
‘Spider’ McCarthy, Australian Champion David Smith and PA’s grandson Brendon ‘Georgie’ Hicks doing battle. Visiting drivers were prominent in the heats and the 20 lap feature lived up to expectations with several stoppages, including when Higgs hit the wall to end his night. In the final stages of the race, Smith was challenged at turn one by McCarthy who went on to win the title from Terry Brown and Smith. The Riverland Street Stock Championship was also action packed with the starting grid after the heats for the 20 lap feature headed by local hope Barry Sullivan with Craig Buchanan, Mount Gambier charger Jason Duell and Anthony Buchanan finishing in that order. Young gun Duell won the title from Sullivan and Neville Nitschke.

Supporting classes did not drop away as far as intensity of competition was concerned with Adelaide’s Joel Chadwick beating early local leader Daniel Obst in Wingless Sprints and Matt Crimmins finishing ahead of Steve Vaughan in Late Models. The Figure 8 Ramp race concluded the night in spectacular fashion.
see him compete on the national stage if he continues with these types of scores. Another young shooter from Renmark/Berri Club Matt Redway also continues to impress. This young man, who competes in C grade shot a score of 57. His score was nearly good enough to win in AA grade and it will not be long before his talents see him move up to B grade or even A grade in the very near future. Sunday’s event was a 75 Target graded sporting clays competition and competitors were exposed to the heat, wind and flies that are a Riverland summer.
Lions Club vs Blind Cricketers n TWO of Australia’s leading blind cricketers will be part of a team to take on the Renmark Lions Club on Sunday. The Renmark Lions Club and Blind Cricket Club have been playing each other on a consistent basis since 1980. Held at the Renmark No 2 oval starting at 10am, the game will be played under the International Blind Cricket Association rules. The visiting team will include two players who represented Australia in the Blind Cricket World Series in India in December, one who is totally blind. The players are classified as blind or have sight impaired and most cricket rules are similar, except bowling is underarm not overarm. Playing for the Bob Hage Memorial Shield, spectators are welcome to come and watch the match.
Young cricketers show skill n READERS will recall two teenage Waikerie Ramco cricketers, Ben Schiller and ‘Levi’ Singh being in the sports news in 2012? Firstly, Ben entered into the Gillespie Academy in Adelaide and signed with the East Torrens District club then ‘Levi’ suddenly appeared with the Waikerie Ramco A grade team and scored an amazing 150 or so. Well, former local player Andrew Duffield, who continues to coach and play with his involvement at the Academy and with East Torrens, telephoned me on Tuesday morning to say that, along with Ben, ‘Levi’ is also involved in both situations and on Saturday for Easts he captured 8 for 37 in the C grade. On me pointing out that the youngster had impacted with the bat here, ‘Duff’ replied “we thought that way too but he bowls left arm and although not over quick is able to swing the ball both ways”. “He has also spent a fair few games in the twos where Ben Schiller is doing very well opening the bowling.” The Academy will be sending another group on a tour to England later this year with Duffield and Schiller in the party.
McPherson’s consistency
Shooters put to the test from interstate competition at Loxton field and game event n SHOOTERS from Victoria and Adelaide joined those from the Renmark/Berri Field and Game Club and travelled to Loxton on Sunday with the visitors holding high intentions of taking home the prize money. The Loxton shooters, with the exception of Ray Pash, were forced to play second fiddle to the visiting marksmen. Pash won the AA grade with a score of 59, one ahead of Kailan Markham, from the Renmark/ Berri Club. Kailan is a talented teenage shooter competing against very experienced adults. His talent shooting sporting clays belies his age and could

n NEVILLE McPherson continued his consistent start to 2013 by winning a stableford at the Barmera Golf Club on Wednesday. McPherson finished two points ahead of Gordon Seddon. Jordan Wright won a Friday night nine hole twilight stableford with 20 points ahead of Terry Fisher on 18. Fisher then continued his good form by winning the Saturday stableford with 41 points, ahead of four other players on 39. Butterworth, who finished runnner-up on Saturday, won a stableford on Sunday with 38 points, one ahead of McPherson and Kevin Martin on 36. At Waikerie on Wednesday, Dave Broome (44) beat Ron Watkins (43).
Waikerie Gold, Perponda win n victory: Grade winners and runners-up from the weekend’s field and game shoot at Loxton. These conditions test each shooter male and female. To block out these discomforts they must combine steely determination, concentration and have a passion for the sport. Other results include a win
to Adelaide’s Allan Marden in A grade ahead of Loxton’s Kev Nickolai, first place went to visitor Peter Hicks in B grade, ahead of Loxton’s Rick Gibbs and Redway beat Loxton’s Paul Pippos in the C grade.
n THE two winning teams in Mid Murray cricket on the weekend, Waikerie Gold and Perponda, meet this Saturday in the last round of minor matches. Gold 6 for 148 (McGrath 50 retired, Hawke 45) defeated Morgan 107 (Wilksch 37, Exton 3 for 17) and Perponda (Josh Rudiger 72, Martinson 3 for 27) won against Blanchetown Swan Reach 147 ( Martinson 30, Josh Rudiger 3 for 24, Chris Rudiger 3 for 24).
Renmark to host 332 swimmers at two day carnival n THE Vitor Renmark Amateur Swimming Club will host the Renmark Two Day Open Carnival this Saturday and Sunday. Carnival director Sue Lyons said entry numbers are up on last year with 332 set to swim in the event with 64 of those being from the Riverland. There will be 25 clubs participating in the two day carnival such as Adelaide, Broken Hill
and Fleurieu. The Dash for Cash on Saturday will feature the fastest eight male and female swimmers over 50 metres competing in a skins format, while there will be eight multiclass events. Meanwhile, about 140 Riverland swimmers competed in the third pennant carnival on Friday. Loxton travelled to the Hayden Stoeckel Swimming Pool in
Berri with the largest team of any competing on the night with over 40 swimmers. Berri had a team of 35 swimmers on the night and once again showed its dominance in the relay events, winning 106 points in the six relays. Both teams were evenly matched up until the end of the freestyle events, however, Berri then gained the lead in the butterfly events
to win 367 points to Loxton’s 202. Waikerie had its first away pennant carnival for the season when it travelled to Renmark on Friday night with a team of 26 swimmers, while Renmark had a team of 36 swimmers. While Waikerie’s juniors performed well, Renmark dominated the higher grades and the relays, to win the carnival 404 points to Waikerie’s 125 points.

Uphill battle for the title?
shooters on target
By GRAHAM CHARLTON BERRI state men’s bowls squad member Andrew Hill will play in the final of the South Australian men’s singles final tomorrow. Hill won his semi-final 25-12 against Lobethal’s Joe Conte on Monday afternoon. While Riverland rinks have not fared all that well in other competitions at the Country Carnival in Adelaide, a number of players ventured into the latter stages of the massive singles field. Those exiting at the last 64 stage included John van der Wyst (Renmark RSL), Roger Davies (Waikerie), Craig Treloar (Berri) and Loxton’s Peter Kimber, who went down to Hill. Out from the last 32 was Gary Pursche (Waikerie) and from the last 16, his club mate Brian Burnett was another Hill victim. Then in the quarter finals, Berri’s Dennis Treloar finally bowed out 21-16 against Conte. It was noticeable that after Freeling’s George Fergusson ended Craig Treloar’s run at the last 64 stage, father Dennis evened the score in the last 16 by beating Fergusson. Hill’s final will follow a semi-final between Ardrossan’s David Adcock and Kadina’s Ken Willcox, which starts at 1.30pm.
n shoot: Loxton Field and Game Club 2012 champion Kevin Nickolai is just one of the many Riverland shooters continuing to match it with some of the best in Australia.

Former Riverlander extradited to face sex related charges A FORMER Riverland man has been extradited from New South Wales to face sex related charges in South Australia. Local Detectives attended Wentworth Court in New South Wales last Friday and alleged that the 57-year-old had committed sexual assault and rape on a child of tender years in the late 1990s in Berri. Extradition was granted and the man appeared via a video link in the Berri Magistrate’s Court this week where he was remanded in custody to re-appear via video link on February 26, 2013.
Searching for fire starter BETWEEN December 25, 2012, and February 6, 2013, three separate fires have been ignited in the scrub area known as the Paringa Paddock or Koala Sanctuary alongside the Sturt Highway/ Paringa Causeway between Renmark and Paringa. The cause of these fires is considered suspicious and police are seeking the help of the public in an attempt to locate any person or persons that may be responsible for these fires. Police ask members of the public that are travelling through the area between Renmark and Paringa to report any suspicious activity in fire danger areas to the police attendance line on 131 444.

Taxi zones may be timed BERRI Barmera Council may be forced to introduce timed taxi zones across the region following concerns raised by the public about the “hoarding” of taxi car parking spaces by individual companies. Council will write to the local taxi companies to inform them of concerns over the use of the taxi zones and the potential to time the parks if the issue continues. With preference to the taxi companies sorting out the issue themselves, Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David
Beaton said the uncompetitive nature must stop.
these issues about the taxi operators themselves and that po-
It was concerning to hear these issues about taxi operators themselves. “We are going to write to the local taxi operators and just explain the issues that people have told us about and if they can’t self regulate we might consider taxi areas,” he said. “It was concerning to hear
tentially some people are hogging the zones. “Hopefully they can sort it out between themselves but if they can’t then we can look at the potential of timing it, which people will start getting fines for doing the
wrong thing.” Mr Beaton said rules and regulations imposed on taxis would make it harder to operate. According to a report to council, timed taxi zones would be almost impossible to implement as drivers typically remain in their vehicle while waiting for a fare and would simply move their vehicle. “This would not allow council to recover the cost of the general inspector policing this matter,” the report states.
New program aimed at healthy heart TO improve the delivery of services for the prevention of cardiovascular disease across the Riverland, Murray Mallee and Limestone Coast, Country South SA Medicare Local (CSSAML) is working in partnership with the Integrated Cardiovascular Clinical Network (iCCnet) and Country Health SA, to roll out the Country Access to Cardiac Health (CATCH) program across the region. Studies show that cardiovascular disease remains Australia’s major cause of death and disability. Last week the Heart Foundation and the George Institute for Global Health called for major reforms across the health system to help save lives of attack survivors after a report was published by the Medical Journal of Australia titled ‘Blueprint for Reform’. Country South SA Medical Local chief executive officer Lincoln Size said after your first cardiac event, there is a 50 percent chance of having a second heart attack. “The likelihood of having

a second attack can be reduced with appropriate measures including cardiac rehabilitation,” he said. “However, a recent audit in South Australia suggests that only around 12 percent of eligible patients complete a cardiac rehabilitation program. “Cardiac rehabilitation enables people to take charge of their heart disease.
The benefits to them include fewer hospital readmissions, better adherence to their medication therapy, faster return to their normal daily routine, improved risk profile, less depression and better quality of life.” The CATCH program will develop and evaluate the telehealth and internet delivery options available for cardiac rehabilitation and secondary
prevention in the area of most need being rural and remote South Australia. Mr Size said CATCH will introduce a telephone program to deliver cardiac rehabilitation as well as develop web-based clinical tools for health professionals and patients within the CSSAML region. The IT platform developed will encourage people undergoing cardiac rehabilitation to take charge of their disease by providing appropriate education to help them understand their disease and allow them to selfreport glucose levels, blood pressures, exercise and weight. This information can then be view by their specialist, GP and other health professionals managing their treatment and care. “Through the CATCH program, we hope to educate and deliver programs to suit the needs of our community,” he said. “Adding telephone and IT modes of delivering cardiac rehabilitation will give people an opportunity to select an option that best suits their lifestyle.”
Riverland school teachers and support staff receive three per cent pay rise RIVERLAND school teachers and support staff will receive a three per cent per annum pay rise and more maternity leave as part of the latest enterprise agreement with the State Government. Minister for Education and Child Development Jennifer Rankine said teachers, aboriginal education workers, school services officers, preschool
EDITORIAL by
Brad Perry A FREEDOM of Information act has revealed that the State Government has dropped its spending on the Patient Assisted Transport Scheme, known as PATS. For Riverland people needing medical attention in Adelaide, PATS has been a wel-
teachers and early childhood workers across the state will all benefit from the agreement. “They will receive eight periods of back pay in their pay slips from tomorrow,” Ms Rankine said. “Importantly the agreement also includes an increased entitlement in Paid Maternity Leave and Paid Adoption Leave. “There is an increase from 14
weeks to 16 weeks for employees with less than five years’ service and 18 weeks for employees with greater than five years’ service. “Our most experienced classroom teachers can be on an annual salary of $91,751 by the end of this agreement.” Ms Rankine acknowledged the work of those involved in the education sector. “The State Government is
extremely proud of teachers and support staff in South Australia,” she said. “Each and every day they deliver quality education and care to our children. “Their hard work has helped turn our retention rates around. “Ten years ago only 69.5 per cent of students were completing year 12, this has now risen to 89.6 per cent.”
Answers needed over PATS funding come relief, helping to cover a portion of the costs associated with the travel. I’ve had calls to the Riverland Weekly office from residents concerned about delays in PATS payments. While we’ve acknowledged previously that there is a hard working team in the Riverland helping out those needing PATS, the real facts
are that the State Government is handing out less funds each year. Previous years, the government paid out $9.4 and $9.3 million for the period, whereas current budgets are at $7.7 million. However, three and a half months in and $2.26 million of that PATS funding has already been spent.
The people who use the scheme in the Riverland find that it is very worthwhile and some have been using it for a number of years. Let’s hope the State Government can see the light on this issue and provide the appropriate amount of funding. This is one area that does not deserve budget cuts.
