A GROUP of eighteen illegal im-migrants working in the Riverland were detained as part of an opera-tion on Tuesday.

Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) compli-ance officers detained 18 unlawful non-citizens at a farm in Sunlands, near Waikerie.

The officers from Adelaide had

launched an operation seeking an individual at the farm and discov-ered the 18 people when executing a search warrant.

The targeted individual was part of the group.

During the operation, it is be-lieved one of the workers attempted to hide in a caravan.

A departmental spokesman said

the officers received information about the individual during a previ-ous operation at Clare.

“A great result like this should send a message that it is illegal for people to work in Australia without a visa which allows them to do so,” the spokesman said.

The group consisted of 17 Indonesians – 12 men and five

women – and a Malaysian man working illegally on a farming property.

“The group has been de-tained and will be transferred to a detention facility in Adelaide before being removed from Aus-tralia as soon as possible,” the spokesman said.

“The department takes alle-

gations regarding illegal workers seriously and encourages people in the community who may have information about unlawful workers or other immigra-tion offences to contact the department.”

DESTINATION River-land is taking its orange cam-paign to the locals with post-cards designed to send to family and friends to be hand-ed out at this year’s Riverland Field Days.

The group believes that be-cause most of the 15,000 peo-ple in attendance will be locals, they will be encouraging people to send the postcard that states - come and stay with us in the Riverland.

One thousand postcards have been printed with the popular ‘smiley’ orange char-acter that graced tourism publi-cations in the 1970s, the main drawcard.

Smiley stickers and or-

anges will also be given out, along with River Murray visitor guides.

Meanwhile, the South Aus-tralian Citrus Industry site cre-ated a record last Sunday for handing out 3500 oranges and fl yers in

one day, according to Desti-nation Riverland.

“This fl yer encourages peo-ple to visit the Riverland by promoting our major events between now and April and en-courages people to come to the region for the Riverland Wine and Food Festival,” a spokes-person said.

“Citrus Industry represen-tatives at the Show have been delighted that recipients of the

fl yer frequently comment “so these oranges are grown in the Riverland”.

“That’s great recognition for our region, and a seed sown for a holiday.

The fl yer was designed and printed in the River-land and 12,000 will have been handed out at the Show when it closes this Saturday afternoon.”

MASTERCHEF contest-ant and former Riverland resident Marion Grasby (pictured) may sneak a look at the Riverland Farmers’ Market stall at this year’s Riverland Field Days on Wednes-day and Thursday.

The popular cook told the Riverland Week-ly her time in the region as a radio journalist saw her regularly head to the local markets.

“When I was up in Renmark, the life of a news journalist is very long and hard and cook-ing for yourself wasn’t really that exciting,” she said.

“I did go to the Farmers’ Markets when I could on the weekends and I did love that Farm-ers’ Market.

“I think it is amaz-ing how there was an Asian produce stall there which is amazing and better than a lot of the Asian produce stalls I’ve seen in Farmers’ Markets around the country.

“The citrus in the Riv-erland is unparalleled.”

Marion will be the ce-lebrity chef at this year’s Riverland Field Days.

NEWS that the Immigration Depart-ment has caught illegal workers in the Riverland may come as a shock for some people and not for others.

While you see this type of thing hap-pen across Australia, fi nding 18 people working illegally in the Riverland is ob-viously too close to home.

What this incident has done is send a warning to growers, farmers and busi-nesses that use international workers to ensure they comply.

The Riverland is a haven for back-packers travelling to the region for work.

Most of those travelling to the re-gion would follow the right procedures but it is this small group that can ruin it for others.

The message is clear, follow the rules or you will be caught.

FIeld Days are hereIT is that wonderful time of the year

again when the weather begins to warm up and the Riverland Field Days is the talking point of the region.

Despite tough times in a number of industries, the public has responded well to the Field Days once again with around 400 exhibitors and a big crowd expected to attend.

I am looking forward to talking to the characters of the region and I might even have to call in for a taste of our fi ne food and wine!

You will be caught!

THE Riverland’s shift to alterna-tive varieties has been highlight-ed during the Riverland Wine Show judging in Renmark this week.

With the event expanding to include a category for the al-ternative drops, Riverland Wine Show Society committee chair Paul Kernich said diversification of the region was impressive.

“Last year was a tough sea-son for reds but 2012 is looking very good and there are a couple of alternative varieties that are also looking quite good as well,” he said.

“We are seeing more entries

in terms of wine which I think reflects wineries experimenting and producers experimenting with new and upcoming things.

“There is certainly a push from producers to try and find varieties that are better suited to the warmer climate.

“We’ve also added incentive to enter these alternative variet-ies with a trophy for best alter-native wine.”

Judging for the wine show took place in Renmark on Monday and Tuesday, with the results to be announced this Wednesday.

Entries increased rapidly in

this year’s event from 250 last year to about 350 this year.

“In recent years, due to eco-nomics more than anything, there had been a decline in en-tries but this year we’ve increased by 100 entries,” he said.

With gold medals on the line for local wineries and those competing from Sunraysia and other inland irrigated areas, Mr Kernich said there have been some surprises so far.

“We had very strong char-donnay,” he said.

“Surprisingly a really good sauvignon blanc as well, which isn’t one of the most noteworthy

varities in the region normally but it has done quite well.

“The thing you really get out of the show is feedback.”

A public tasting and gala dinner will be held at Ruston’s Roses, Renmark, on Wednesday.

The Riverland to get taste of 3D moviesTHE Chaffey Theatre is hoping upgrades to its digital projection equipment will enable it to show 3D movies in the Riverland for the first time.

The State Government an-nounced that the Renmark based venue would receive funding for the upgrades earlier this year and Chaffey Theatre manager Shar-lene Martin said 3D movies could be playing by the end of the year.

“We are very excited and we can’t wait to be able to do digital projection and also be able to do

3D,” she said.“We might even be able to

have the opportunity to bring back some of those 3D mov-ies that we weren’t able to screen prior.

“The fact they will actually be able to see it here in 3D as well, hopefully that will mean bigger audiences come through our doors.”

Mrs Martin said the up-grades may also enable the the-atre to be able to play the latest films earlier.

“Hopefully what that will mean is that we will be able to get movies a little bit sooner than what we are at the moment,” she said.

“It will also open us up to more product because there are some films that just get released in a digital format, so this will give us more opportunities there.

“If we can get the films soon-er, that means we will lose less people that can’t wait for those big blockbusters and travel to other areas to see them.”

There is certainly a

push from producers

experimenting with

new and upcoming

things.

LAKE Bonney Yacht Club commodore Peter Dunk has revealed how the low-ly water levels during the drought provided some of the most challenging times for the organisation in its 66 year history.

When the lake was dis-connected from the River Murray, Mr Dunk (pic-tured) said member num-bers dropped to unexpect-ed levels as sailing became more than challenging.

The reconnection of Lake Bonney to the River Murray in 2010 rose water levels and member num-bers returned.

However, Mr Dunk said the club is still reeling from that time and is hoping to increase membership.

The youngest club com-modore in a history that dates back to 1946, Mr Dunk said lake levels are ideal and it is time to bring

the club back to its former glory.

“When the lake was closed off we struggled quite a bit with being able to run events,” he said.

“We were limited only to the club sailing because of the dangers of the low-er water and that drove a few people away and we didn’t have as much inter-est because we couldn’t run the sail training in the mornings.

“The people who were coming before the drought

didn’t come back again, so we are hoping to get some new members back in.”

Currently the club has about 25 members and since the reconnection of the lake has hosted two state championship events.

Mr Dunk, whose grand-parents are former commo-dores of the club, said he is hoping to push member numbers into the hundreds and he would love to see the club thriving again.

“The more members we get the more money we will have to keep the place running and provide the nice environment and recreation for the area,” he said.

“Now we’ve got this wa-ter back we’ve really got to try and do a membership push and try and get past members to come back again and anyone who has ever thought of wanting to

try sailing.“Back in its heyday

there was quite a big mem-bership base, a lot of the older members who have moved onto other things but are still in the area and it would be great to see them back even just as so-cial member.”

Mr Dunk’s commit-ment to the club is unques-tionable, having travelled from his home in Adelaide every spring and summer weekend since 2005.

On September 29 and 30, the club is hosting its 66th opening regatta from 1pm onwards with sailing on both days and dinner on Saturday night.

Mr Dunk hopes to see hundreds of people lining the shores of Lake Bonney and said the event is open to everyone of all ages.

AS Riverland citrus growers con-tinue to struggle with returns for their fruit, there is a silver lining with Berri’s Foodbank branch re-ceiving hundreds of bins of citrus to distribute to those in need.

Since May, Foodbank has been working with a number of local growers and packers, who have donated produce that may have otherwise been dumped.

“Berri is well known as a food hub and prominent citrus grow-ing region, we are in the middle of a growing season and we’ve had some amazing support from many of the packers and growers throughout the region,” Food-bank SA general manager of spe-cial projects Leigh Royans said.

“We’ve received semi-loads of stockfrom growers and packing-sheds and generous offers for more.

”In particular, we acknowl-edge the donations from Hog-wash Bend Orchard and Caudo’s

Vineyards near Waikerie, Venus Citrus in Loxton, Agri-Exchange in Renmark and Sunridge Or-chards in Ramco.

“We’re also extremely fortu-nate to have terrific support from Harris Transport, who donate services to help Foodbank.

“Over four hundred and fifty bins of citrus have been pushed back out of the Riverland to help other South Australians in need

and across our state borders to help other Foodbanks in Queen-sland, Victoria and New South Wales.”

Since officially opening in May, Foodbank in Berri is now providing food relief support services to 26 agencies across the region with around 4500 kilo-grams of food now distributed monthly.

“We expected monthly food

take-off would be around 8000 kilograms a month after the ini-tial 12 month period and we are pleased to report things are track-ing well, although it’s still only early days of the new Foodbanks’ development,” Mr Royans said.

The Riverland Foodbank business has just received a new van capable of delivering three tonnes of produce to welfare agencies.

“This van will give us tre-mendous potential to help sup-portagencies needing support via a food delivery service, particu-larly those in outlying areas not in easy reach of our Berri ware-house,” Foodbank SA director and operations committee chair Ray Tanner said.

Community groups and schools should contact Peter Smith, Riverland Foodbank man-ager, on 0400 459 469 if they would like to enquire how Food-bank might assist their services.

Future paddle steamer events?

Yacht club hopes improved lake conditions will encourage more membership

THE Riverland may host a major meet-ing of paddle steamers within three years if plans come to fruition.

After steaming to Mildura for the 100 year celebrations of the PS Mel-bourne, representatives of the vessels in attendance met to discuss the pos-sibility of future events.

“We had a meeting of all the rep-resentatives of the boats yesterday (Monday) and put in an initial plan to start planning for three or four years time to work out what we might do and have an event in South Australia or a cavalcade somewhere,” Friends of the PS Industry chairman David Nat-trass said.

“We couldn’t hope to have an event of this size every year because it was just be too much work for the vol-unteers but perhaps one in three years we might have a big event.

“There are plans to maybe have another flotilla of craft come from up-stream and co-ordinate a function at Renmark, Berri, Loxton, one of those

Riverland towns.“We need to slot that into the tour-

ism calendar for those areas and work from there.”

With the PS Industry expected to arrive home after lunch today, Mr Nat-trass said the centenary event will not be forgotten.

“The celebrations were a magnifi-cent spectacle of 16 heritage paddle steamers on the river,” he said.

“We were very proud and hon-oured to be part of that celebration and to celebrate 100 year of history with the Melbourne and our history.

“I saw as many Riverlanders in Mildura on the weekend as what you see in Renmark, there was a lot of local Riverlanders that made the trip to Mildura to be part of the celebrations.”

Captain of the PS Industry Frank Tucker said the festival was a unique and memorable experience which he said he will never see again.

In fact, on Sunday 15,000 peo-

ple attended the celebrations on the Mildura riverfront and of those in at-tendance was Renmark’s Kathryn Car-ruthers and Margaret Duggin, dressed in period costume.

“The atmosphere was very nos-talgic, it was like revisiting the past,” she said.

“Visually there was the steam and motion of the paddle wheels, the whistles could be heard kilometres away, it was just all happening and it was exhilarating.

“Because we were the only ones dressed up in period costume, there would have been thousands of photo-graphs taken of us.”

AFTER more than 30 years of being forced to have five injections per day, Lyrup type 1 diabetes sufferer Marg Harrigan was not sure how long she could remain healthy.

“I was teaching full time with the year six and seven students and twice in two weeks I ended up in hospital, I was in front of the class and I couldn’t remember how I got to hospital,” she said.

“What I was doing to work out where my sugar levels were I was just finger pricking anywhere up to 20 times a day because it was the only way to stay safe.

“I couldn’t drive unless I did a fin-ger prick and then I could still drop out.

“If I was going 10 minutes down the road I would stop after five and do another test to make sure I was still okay.”

That was before Mrs Harrigan became the first South Australian to receive a transplant under the islet transplant program, which helped her body to produce insulin.

Family First MLC Robert Bro-kenshire has urged the State Gov-ernment to get behind the push to continue the islet transplant pro-gram which is coming to the end of a successful period.

Mrs Harrigan said since having two islet transplants in 2010, she has been able to live a fuller life, even travelling overseas.

“After 36 years of being on five in-jections per day and then the pump for four and a half years, I have been insulin independent for the past two years so it is a major success,” she said.

“To have the treatment wasn’t a hard decision to make be-cause without it I don’t think I’d be here.”

For the transplant program to continue nationally, $2.8 million is needed annually for centres in Syd-ney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Since being introduced, the pro-gram has seen 18 patients across the country receive the treatment.

It is understood South Aus-tralia would need to contribute $100,000 annually to keep the pro-gram running, as would each of the other states.

Mrs Harrigan said the transplant program desperately needs funding as it has been without for the past 12 months.

Mrs Harrigan’s husband Kerry,

who also suffers from diabetes, said both of their lives have changed thanks to the program.

The Harrigans are organising a Walk for a Cure to be held on November 4 starting at the Lyrup Club with donations to go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Founda-tion, which helped to fund the islet transplant program.

“They paid basically for my trans-plant and they’ve given me a life,” Mrs Harrigan said.

BONNEY Theatre in Barmera has received $15,000 for the restoration of timber louvre windows as part of the SA Heritage Fund Grants.

The heritage listed theatre shared in $250,000 in grant fund-ing which went to 31 successful ap-plicants.

“These grants help to fund con-servation work and work to pre-vent deterioration of significant buildings that are listed on the State Heritage Register,” Depart-ment of Environment, Water and Natural Resources Heritage Con-servation Project Officer Wendy Haylock said.

“South Australia has some mag-

nificent heritage buildings and we are very pleased to be able to con-tribute to their upkeep in this way.

“These grants are just one way the State Heritage Unit assists own-ers to care for state heritage-listed buildings.

“The unit also provides initial professional heritage and conser-vation advice through in-house heritage architects to communities and individual heritage owners in South Australia.”

Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton said any funding help is much appreciated to maintain the historic facility.

“It’s good that it continues to get support,” he said.

“It is a large cost to the council and the community to keep it.

“It is a fantastic facility but it doesn’t provide us much income, so to get some funding to help with the restration of it and the mainte-nance of it is good.”

Mr Beaton said major upgrades to the theatre are expected to finish next month.

“Part of the upgrade is a mens and disabled toilet will be in there now so that makes it more suitable for some of the bigger productions that can be done,” he said.

THE river red gums along the River Murray wetlands and fl oodplains in the Riverland are showing signs of recov-ery in response to recent high fl ow events.

Natural Resources, SA Murray-Darling Basin wet-land project offi cer Callie Nickolai said that mature river red gums are exhibiting new growth in the form of tip shoots and epicormic growth.

“Wide spread bands of new saplings have been found on the fl oodplain, which are dominated by river red gums and includes black box.

“So it is really important that the area receives further high fl ow events to maintain the health of the young trees, as well as the established ma-ture trees.

“The River Murray in SA has experienced infrequent high fl ows over the last few decades and the health of riv-er red gums has declined.

River red gums that were inundated recently are look-ing healthier but there are still a number of trees at higher elevations on the fl oodplain which were not inundated by the recent high waters.

The tree species is vital to the river’s ecology as they are an important habitat for fauna.

Bats and some bird spe-cies such as Regent Parrots (a threatened species) and Grey Teal ducks nest in hollows, Australasian Darters and Cor-morants build their nests in the branches over-hanging water, frogs and insects live under the bark.

Reviving historyReviving historyFOR over a year Australia’s only outdoor hockey rink in Barmera was sitting unused.

The special facil-ity requiring much needed ugrades will be utilised once again with the Big River In-line Hockey Association out of recess.

The association will be given exemption of particu-lar fees by the Berri Barmera Council and the issue of an outstanding loan is also be-

ing discussed.Big River Inline Hockey

Association president Nev-ille Anderson said restarting the competition will have benefi ts for the local econo-my with tournaments to be held at the outdoor venue.

“The Barmera rink is the only outdoor rink in Austra-lia and possibly in the South-ern Hemisphere, so it is very unique and it is something we don’t want to lose, it is

something we want to keep in the Riverland,” he said.

“Now we’ve got another league close to us at Gawler, it gives us that little bit more incentive to get it going.”

The association has al-ready arranged for a tourna-ment to be held in Barmera in November with interstate players expected to travel to the region to play.

Currently the association has about 20 players but it is hoping to boost that number to over 100.

Mr Anderson said previ-

ously interest waned but he is hoping to reinvigorate the sport and bring some new enthusiasm to the game for the younger generation.

“There was not a lot of interest, there was not enough people with the de-sire and enthusiasm to keep it going,” he said.

“We really want to con-centrate on getting the younger kids involved.”

Inline hockey coach Wayne Bland said he was originally involved in build-ing the arena and believes it

must be used as a unique at-traction for the region.

Berri Barmera Council chief executive offi cer David Beaton said the association’s fees will be waved for year.

“Council said they will wave the fees for next year but they have also said that there will be a report to the next council meeting about writing off the outstanding debt that is there because it was a previous committee and the council itself has already paid the loan off,” he said.

P e t s

ABOUT 150 students were privileged enough to expe-rience the soothing sounds of jazz artist James Mor-rison in the Riverland last week.

World renowned jazz art-ist James Morrison visited the Riverland last Thursday to host workshops.

The international per-former travelled the region after the Riverland Stage Band’s efforts at the at the 2012 Generations in Jazz National Stage Band Awards held in Mount Gambier ear-lier this year.

During the awards, musi-cal director Alan Geddie was given the Spirit of Jazz Award and as a prize he was offered the opportunity to host Mr Morrison.

Orchestral Supplies Aus-tralia general manager Anita Caltabiano, which sponsors the event, said hosting Mr Morrison is a memorable prize.

“The reason they chose Alan to win the music di-

rectors award is he has been doing this program in the Riverland for so many years and it involves so many students from the whole region,” she said.

“It is such a massive ef-fort that it is great to be able to put something back into the community.

“James is such an advo-cate of music education, any-thing that is music education he absolutely wants to be in-volved in.”

Mrs Caltabiano said the students get a lot out of the workshops and con-certs, guided through by Mr Morrsion.

“This would normally cost about $10,000 to have James come to their school and run a workshop and spend a whole day with the kids,” she said.

“The kids get a lot out of it and it is good motiva-tion for them and it is good for the retention rates in the band programs for kids to keep learning each year.”

Riverlanders given opportunity to provide licensing feedback

WITH the arrival of spring, snakes are posing a greater threat to pets as the warmer weather and dryer conditions put an end to their winter hibernation.

Australia’s peak veterinary body, the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA), is urging pet owners to take precautions to prevent deadly en-counters with snakes when venturing out-side with their furry friends.

Dr David Neck, President of AVA’s small animal special interest group, said that snakes tend to be most active towards the end of the day.

“Snake bites tend to occur in the late af-ternoon or early eve-ning,” he said.

“Snakes also tend to be attracted to ro-dents and rubbish to hide under.

“Dog owners should avoid snake prone areas, particu-larly if they are walk-ing their dog at the

end of the day. “Snakes can also

venture into back-yards.”

Dr Neck said it is important for pet owners to be aware of the signs of a snake bite as own-ers may not actually see their dog or cat being bitten.

“Symptoms can vary with different snakes but sudden onset of seizures, vomiting, weakness in the limbs and inability to move may be observed,” he said.

“Soon after the symptoms occur, the animal may collapse with severely la-boured breathing.”

Be on the look out for snakes

PLUMBERS, gas fi tters, electricians and real estate agents in the Riverland are being encouraged to attend information sessions in Berri next week about cur-rent proposals for a national regulation of occupations.

Being held by Consumer and Busi-ness Services, the sessions are designed to provide infromation about the proposals for a National Occupational Licensing System (NOLS) which are currently avail-able for public comment.

A streamlined, nationally consistent licensing scheme would aim to increase workers’ mobility, and remove overlap-ping and inconsistent regulation between jurisdictions for the licensing of occupa-tional areas.

The national system would replace the various current state and territory-based licensing regimes and employers and consumers would be able to check a national register of licence holders.

The NOLS proposals for each occu-pation are outlined in the Consultation Regulation Impact Statements, which aim to seek views from licence holders, business and other interested parties.

For more information visit www.cbs.sa.gov.au/nols.html

South Australian regional informa-tion sessions will be held as follows:

Solar farm propsal still on the agendaA PROPOSAL by the Berri Barmera Council to create a solar farm at the former Berri Race Course is still on the agenda, despite more than a year without action.

Last year, council was in discussion with Clare busi-ness May Brothers about a potential partnership to create the farm.

Since then Berri Barmera Council chief executive of-fi cer David Beaton said he has spoken to some local major proprietors about being involved.

“We did talk to some of the major proprietors who has an issue with how

much their power is going up,” Mr Beaton said.

“What might have been good technology two years ago has probably changed now and that’s the prob-lem, making the num-bers stack up so we can get the funding and try to have something that gives back to the community as well.

“We’ll talk to the Fed-eral Government to see if what we are proposing is something they will fund or whether there is dif-ferent forms or different technology now that they prefer to try and put the

money towards.”Mr Beaton said a solar

farm in Berri would have major benefi ts for council and ratepayers.

“It would help us di-versify some of our income streams as well as provid-ing a community benefi t in reducing some of the electricity costs, even if it’s only for council projects of things like the recreation centres,” he said.

“If we can do some-thing that goes wider and has a greater benefi t to the community that will be good for the town in the future.”

Kerbside Waste Collection UpdateThis is the first article of a fortnightly update

regarding the implementation of the new waste collection system to start in January 2013.

Why is the waste collection changing?Over recent years the rules for how waste is

collected and disposed has changed dramatically. The Berri Barmera Council will no longer be able to bury waste at its Monash Landfill (dump) from

December this year.

The Council therefore needs to transport the waste out of the region as with the other Riverland Councils and pay to have it buried at another site which is very

expensive for freight and disposal. The less waste that is buried the better it is for the environment and

equally important the cost is reduced, though it is still a lot higher than the old system.

To reduce the long term cost to the community Council is introducing a recycling and green waste collection to stop as much waste going to landfill.

More details will be provided in future articles and the Councils will have a booth at the Riverland Field Days.

Where will I get rid of my rubbish in the future?Council will have a Waste Transfer Station where

rubbish will need to be sorted into big bins before it is transported out of the region for disposal. This new system will also be expensive and is why Council is

looking to supply recycling and green waste to reduce the times you need to go to the facility.

Will Council have another Hard Waste Collection?Yes, Council will advertise the dates shortly for the free

collection from towns and villages.

Council proposes major solTHE largest solar farm in the River-land, potentially costing more than $40 million dollars, has been ear-marked for Berri and dependent on funding, could go ahead as early as next year.

The former Riverland Racing Club land located in Berri is the proposed site for the Berri Barmera Council to construct the large solar farm.

The council, which is working closely with Adelaide company May Brothers, has applied to the Riverland Futures Taskforce for part of the $20 million State Government money pool to fund a feasibility study into the project.

Berri Barmera Council chief ex-ecutive officer David Beaton said the project would not only bring income

to council but would be another in-dustry option for the Riverland.

“The Riverland and north of Port Augusta are the best places in South Australia for solar, so we’re hopeful we might be able to influence the State and Federal government to help to fund it,” he said.

“It’s just another source of income for the council but also it could eas-ily start off another industry for the Riverland.

INSPIRED by her brother Rob Todd’s work with the creation of the Barmera Men’s Shed, Waikerie’s Nan Mackereth is hop-ing to help estab-lish a similar facility in Waikerie.

A meeting will be held on Tuesday to discuss the establishment of a Men’s Shed in Waikerie.

Mrs Mackereth first be-came involved in the con-cept of creating a Men’s Shed in Waikerie after she saw a need for it and has since become the facilita-tor of the project.

She said having a Men’s

Shed in the Waikerie area will give males the oppor-tunity to socialise and use their skills while enjoying each other’s company.

“It will mean to the men in this district some-where they can go and if they don’t want to be mak-ing things, they can just sit down and have a chin wag and talk about things,” she said.

“So many men, when they retire, don’t have any structure to their lives and they don’t socialise.

“Partners and wives should encourage their fel-las to get out because that

will also give them another perspective which is good for relationships.

“I think this is go-ing to open up a whole new area where men can be using their hands be-cause they can be making things and they can have garage sales.”

The public meet-ing will be held at the Waikerie Club at 10am on Tuesday and Rob Todd will be the guest speaker on the day.

To RSVP for the event contact the Waikerie Club on 8541 2899 by tomorrow.

Environment & Heritage MATTERS

Mallee’s stunningspring colours Men’s shed push

Public meeting to be held in Waikerie for...

A SLEEPY lizard crossing a back road on the way to Ngarkat Conservation Park reminds us that spring is on the way and with it wild-flowers, which rival any seen elsewhere.

The gripping and pervasive cold of the Mallee winter gives way to sunny bright mornings and glorious golden sunsets over mallee-stems stretching to the horizon and across fields of barley and canola.

The yellow flowering canola hints at a profound shift: conditions are becom-ing ripe for the flowering of our natural neighbours, hun-

dreds of native plant species that call the Mallee home and who – like many of us – revel and delight in the onset of Spring!

Not all plants flower in spring and the rotation of flowering plant species across the entire year is of great im-portance to animals.

But Spring is the finale in the story; the very centre of the drama when the Mallee erupts with style.

Rainfall during winter sets the scene, and while not a soaking year in the Mallee so far, enough rain has fallen to encourage the Orchids, Heaths, Wattles, Peas and Dai-sies into flower in Ngarkat.

Already the earth-hugging leaves of orchids appear on the ground, waiting to grow their delicate blooms in October.

And with them come all manner of critters and crea-tures that flap and flutter.

So visit for the flow-ers and admire the song of spring time birds feeding on the abundance of nectar, and the dozens of native insect species feasting on pollen, from beetles to butterflies.

Ngarkat is a magical place in spring and we encourage you to come on down.

Ngarkat can be visited for a day or a weekend.

It can be accessed by 2WD vehicle or toured extensively by 4WD.

Visit as a family, as a touring group, or as a wide-spread group of naturalists intent on photographing blooms and blossoms for identification later at a more whimsical pace.

Come before October 31 and enjoy driving the stun-ning Border Track or roasting marshmallows over a crack-ling campfire while reminisc-ing over that flower or this bird; “dude did you see the orchid with the landing-pad for wasps” you might exclaim or “how about those red tu-bular flowers, the birds could not get enough of!”

For more information on visiting Ngarkat Conservation Park, please call 85763690 or visit the website at http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/parks/Find_a_park/Browse_by_region/Murray_River/Ngarkat_Conservation_Park.

Ngarkat is roughly a two-hour drive from both the Riverland and Ad-elaide. Please observe all park rules and regulations when visiting.

Facebook comments lead to arrestA 19-year-old woman from Renmark was re-ported for assault on Fri-day after it is alleged that she punched another girl in the face as a result of comments being made on Facebook.

She will appear in the Berri Magistrate’s Court at a later date.

Police are urging that where inappropriate in-formation appears on a

social networking web-sites, users can contact the website administrator to request that the offen-sive content is removed.

Meanwhile, a 21-year-old man from Waikerie was arrested for driving unlicensed and breach-ing his bail conditions, whilst a 19-year-old man from Waikerie was ar-rested for breaching his licence conditions.

It is alleged the 21-year-old man was breaching his bail condi-tions by being seated in the driver’s seat and that his vehicle was towing the vehicle driven by the 19-year-old man.

Neither man held a current driver’s licence and both will appear be-fore the Berri Magistrate’s Court at a later date.

Mindarie Halidon cup FeaTure

MORE than 1200 people are expected to travel to the Mindarie Halidon Race

Course this Sunday for the event referred to as the Melbourne Cup of the Mallee.

In its 92nd year, the Mindarie Halidon Cup continues to grow in popularity with 19 marquees already booked and plenty of interest for at-tendance on race day.

Held by the Mindarie Halidon Racing Club, the event is unique in every sense of the word and it is cer-tainly an experience to see horses rac-ing in the Mallee.

Mindarie Halidon Cup Commit-tee secretary Krystina Durdin said about 1200 people attended last year’s big day and she expects even more in attendance this Sunday.

“As long as we have really good weather I think it is going to be quite a big day,” she said.

“Going by the phone calls and the interest we have had hopefully we are expecting a really big crowd.

“We’ve had more marquees than last year, it just gets increasingly pop-ular from year to year.”

Mrs Durdin said Riverland towns continue to embrace the event and people from across the Mallee, Tailem Bend, Mannum, Swan Reach, Blanch-etown and Adelaide are expected to

be in attendance.“There seems to be growing inter-

est coming from the Riverland com-pared to other years,” she said.

“There is a lot of new groups, es-pecially a lot of social clubs linked to work or hotels.”

The family friendly event hosts seven races over the day with gates open at 11am and the first race to be held at 12.30pm.

“We try to make it family friendly with a jumping castle which is free for the kids and they like to go down and check out the horses that are in the stables before the races,” Mrs Durdin said.

Over the years, the Halidon Fash-ions on the Field event has been a major attraction with those in atten-dance putting in a big effort to im-press the crowd.

“Fashions on the Field is getting more popular,” Mrs Durdin said.

“That has become quite an en-tertaining aspect of the races and it also adds a bit more atmosphere to it as well.

“Last year we had good feed-back on people having a really good time.”

The overall winner of the event receives two passes to the Murray Bridge Gold Cup and entry into its fashion parade with a chance to show

off their impressive outfits at the Ad-elaide Cup fashion show.

Bookmakers will be on hand to take bets for those daring to back a horse during the Cup.

“It is something different where you can grab a group of friends and a lot of people are actually not usual race goers but they have fun having a bet on a horse and they might pick it from the way it looks or the name it has,” Mrs Durdin said.

There is plenty of space for the family to relax and enjoy the day.

“There is nothing like it in the Riverland and that is probably why we get more people from that way,” Mrs Durdin said.

“People seemed to like the idea of sitting there with their picnic food.

“It’s the end of football and netball season and it is a chance to wind down.”

The event is fully catered with both bar and canteen facili-ties and there is a strictly no Bring Your Own alcohol rule and glass is not permitted.

These scenarios may sound extreme, but consider the following statistics:

• One in fi ve families will be im-pacted by the death of a par-ent, a serious accident or illness that renders a parent unable to work#.

• Two thirds of families with kids at home couldn’t meet their ex-penses beyond 12 months of the main breadwinner having passed away†.

• Ninety fi ve per cent of families do not have adequate levels of insurance#.

Do your children have it covered?

GENERATIONS X and Y are com-fortable with the idea of using debt to achieve their goals.

And to get into the hous-ing market, they often have to take on considerable mortgages, which can take a decent bite out of their income.

Of course, all of this is sustainable when they’re working full-time.

But if your children don’t have adequate protection for their income, their debts, and their dependants, they could be vulnerable to serious illness or injury.

Their own families (if they have one) can also be considerably ex-posed if they die.

When you consider the maxi-mum disability support pension available from Centrelink is only $670.90 per fortnight ($17,443.40 p.a.)^, an extended period out of the workforce could leave a big hole in their budget.

That’s if they’re eligible for any government assistance at all.

Qualifi cation is based on the ex-tent of their physical condition and is means-tested.

Talking to your children about life insurance

MANY adult children will discuss their major fi nancial decisions with their parents.

Major events like getting mar-ried, buying a house, or even changing jobs are good opportuni-ties to talk to your children about life insurance.

One of the good things about tak-ing out life insurance from a young-er age is that premiums are often very affordable.

For example, a 30 year-old male clerical worker can take out $500,000 life insurance (with Total and Perma-nent Disability cover), plus $4000 a month income protection, for around $3 per day (source: OnePath Life Limited, ABN 33 009 657 176, AFSL 238341).

This cover will provide some fi -nancial relief in the event of serious sickness or injury.

It will also make available a lump sum on death that may be used to pay off debts, medical bills or help the family meet ongoing living costs.

The best way to help your chil-dren get the right level of protec-tion for themselves (and you) is to encourage them to discuss their life insurance circumstances with a fi nancial adviser.

MONEY FEATUREYour Finance

Do your adult children have a back-up plan (other than you)?By AMP Financial Planner – Danny Kearney

PICTURE this. You’ve recently retired and

you’re reasonably confi dent you’ll have enough savings to fund the comfortable lifestyle you’d always hoped for.

Then you receive a phone call with some bad news – your daughter has been badly in-jured in a car accident while travelling overseas.

The doctors are saying she’s unlikely to walk again.

With the bills piling up and your daughter set to be out of the workforce for an indefi nite pe-riod, you invite her to move back into the family home.

You ask whether she has life insurance to help fi nance her ongoing living needs, only to

fi nd out she never got around to it.

It’s a natural instinct for a parent to do whatever it takes to help their children when they need you.

And luckily for the baby boomer generation, and your children, many of you have the fi nancial resources to help out.

But what if ‘helping out’ meant you had to stay in the workforce longer, or cut back on your retirement lifestyle to help fund your child’s mort-gage, medical expenses or living costs?

Or what if you had to provide for your grandchildren?

What would that mean for your own fi nancial situ-ation – both now and in the future?

Tips to manage your credit card

Before you get a credit card

Use a budget planner to help you plan your spending.

When choosing a credit card, shop around and compare fees and interest rates.

Once you have a credit card

Always pay your credit

card on time to avoid extra interest or late payment fees.

Keep track of spending on your credit card so you stay within your limit.

Pay more than the minimum repayment each month, to pay off your balance more quickly and save on interest. (If you can only make the minimum monthly repayment, switch to a card with a low interest rate and pay off more when you can.)

Set up a direct debit to pay a fi xed amount off the balance owing each payday.

Don’t take cash advances because they usually attract higher interest.

Use store cards wisely and be aware what fees you’ll pay.

Use a credit card calculator to work out the fastest way you can pay off your credit card.

■ IMPORTANT: Families should be encouraged to seek life insurance

to protect themselves against the unthinkable.

For many people the prospect of applying for a credit card can be daunting, so here are some top tips to help ease the worry when seeking a credit card.

COME through and see the attention to detail that

has been taken in creating this beautiful home and garden.

Through great vision, the owners have blended this home amongst beautifully land-scaped gardens, hidden away from all the hustle and bustle only minutes from Renmark.

The home has been de-signed with open plan liv-ing that comprises four bed-rooms – two and three have built-in robes and the master bedroom has a walk-in robe and large ensuite.

The attractive and spacious kitchen has all stainless steel appliances, tiled splashback, a

large island preparation bench and plenty of cupboard and bench space.

The lounge and fam-ily rooms provide space for the whole family.

Gas heating and ducted cooling will take care of all of your heating and cooling needs and outdoor entertain-ing will be a delight under the large gable-roof pergola with roller shutters for comfort all year round.

For the home handyman the four bay Colorbond shed offers the perfect place for all the home projects plus there is a double carport to house the family cars.

THE Riverland Field Days is back for another year and there promises to be something for

everyone at the two day event next Thursday and Friday.

Boasting more than 400 exhibi-tors, this year the Riverland Field Days has a number of new attrac-tions, a celebrity chef plus a variety of stalls to see.

Based at Barmera, the Riverland Field Days is expected to attract about 16,000 people through the gates next week, with many making a full day, or even two, out of the event.

Riverland Field Days secretary Tim Grieger said the response from

b u s i -nesses both

locally and outside the region has again been very positive.

“It’s good to see the strength of the response we’ve got, given that we are still working through tough times,” Mr Grieger said.

“The future is obviously look-ing far better than what it was a few years ago and the feeling of posi-tiveness is coming through.”

Mr Grieger is hoping the sun will shine on the Field Days.

“If we have two really nice days, weather wise, it encourages more people to come out,” he said.

With so much to do and see, Mr Grieger said the day can be planned through the Riverland Field Days

offi cial program.“There is such a large range

and depth of exhibits here in not just product servicing but informa-tion about what different services are doing, technology and there is a lot to be learnt by walking and stop-ping at sites,” he said.

“There is a wealth of informa-tion available at the Field Days.”

While there will be the regular attractions

such as Irrigation Avenue, The Grain Lane, Tech Hub and the Food and Wine Village, this year the Field Days offers more entertainment with the V8 race car simulator, World War II vintage equipment

display and the ever popular high schools cooking challenge.

There is a key focus on the cara-van, camping and off-road section for retirees and there will be plenty for the children to participate in with the popular children’s safari.

“There is the Rabobank stage which has got the Ag Art Wear com-petition on parade and the musical presentation from the schools is al-ways interesting,” Mr Grieger said.

“It is a great mix and variation of different activities that makes the two days a really enjoyable, fun ex-perience.”

Those in attendance will also be able to take advantage of the door

prizes on offer, while there are some deilicious catering options.

“There is a great range of food available and there are rest areas, so you can take time wandering around to see the exhibits but also take time out to spend at lunch or at the cooking demonstrations,” Mr Grieger said.

The event will also be a boost for the local economy with accom-modation tipped to be booked out during the week.

“We’ve got busloads from Ad-elaide coming down for the Field Days,” Mr Greiger said.

“It illustrates the interest this has created far afi eld.

“It’s a huge economic boost in terms of accommodation, food and fuel, while exhibitors use local transport and hiring companies.

“It all fl ows through to the rest of the community.”

Helping to secure your homeFORTUNATELY he likes to drive because RAA’s security sales and service technician Jeff Watkins clocks up thou-sands of kilometres travel-ling around the Riverland to keep his customers safe and secure.

The Renmark native and father of two is re-sponsible for sales, instal-lation and maintenance of RAA alarm systems and has been an RAA employee for three years.

“I enjoy the differ-ent people I get to meet and because I service the whole region as far as Swan Reach, I really get around,” he said.

In March this year, Jeff received his distinctive new RAA secure services van having worn out his trusty white ute, and he reckons it’s a beauty.

Jeff said rural properties have specifi c security chal-lenges, especially as country folk are not always bothered with locking doors, cars or tractors.

“I encourage customers not to become complacent about security,” he said.

“My city based work-mates update me on trends, like burglars taking keys and escaping in the hom-eowner’s vehicle, that will come our way eventually,” he said.

The secret to helping customers improve their se-curity is to be a good prob-lem solver and to under-

stand the criminal mind, according to Jeff.

“You’ve got to ask your-self, how would they break into a building, and also how would they leave,” he said.

“That’s where you put cameras, sensors and con-trol boxes.”

Jeff does concede that the job presents some par-ticular challenges.

“I’m not a small guy so sometimes getting up into tight roof spaces can be diffi cult but the customer’s security comes fi rst and where there is a will there is a way,” he said.

RAA’s top spring clean security tips

CLEAR hedges and bushes from doors and windows as they provide a hiding place for thieves and can also be a fi re hazard.

MAIN doors should have dead-bolts as a minimum and all acces-sible windows should

be securable.ITEMS stored in sheds

or garages are easy targets. Something as simple as

a large padlock can deter would-be thieves, otherwise you can extend your alarm coverage.

MAKE sure your security stickers are visible and re-quest new ones if need be.

SENSOR lights are great for summer BBQs and can also act as a deterrent for thieves.

CLEAR your yard of all implements that could be used to break into your home, or as a weapon, in-cluding brooms, shovels, tools and ladders.

When you’re cleaning outside, take a look through the windows and if you can see any valuables or car keys, move them!

CHANGE the batteries in your smoke alarm and revisit your fi re plan.

For more information about RAA Secure Services, call 8202 4695 or visit your local RAA shop at Renmark or Berri.

THE Riverland Field Days is one of the most important events in the region, according to Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone.

Not only does the event provide a large fi -nancial injection for the Riverland economy but Mr Whetstone (pictured) believes the Field Days show why the region is a key area for the state’s horticulture and agriculture industries.

“I think it’s a great event showcasing the region and it really does show what we pres-ent to the state,” he said.

“Our strong horticulture base, the diversity that we have and also our service industries that not only service the Riverland region but in a lot of cases, service all of South Australia and Western Victoria.

“The Riverland is just showcasing what they do best being food producers, being lead-ers in Mallee sustainable farming and show-casing what we do to the rest of the world.”

Mr Whetstone said the Year of the Farmer theme is fi tting for this year’s Field Days, given the resilience of farmers and growers over the years.

“It is a great year to celebrate the Year of the Farmer and the importance of agriculture in South Australia,” he said.

“Agriculture is underpinning the state’s economy this year, as it has for 175 years.”

He also praised the efforts of the volun-teers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare the Riverland Field Days.

“Without the support of volunteers the event would not occur and I congratulate each and every one of them for their efforts,” Mr Whetstone said.

Mr Whetstone’s offi ce in Berri will be closed and relocated at the Riverland Field Days for the duration of the event, at site 520.

RIVERLAND Field Days Committee chairman An-thony Fulwood believes the event has a very real place in the fi eld of primary production.

A citrus, winegrape and avocado grower himself, Mr Fulwood knows the Riverland Field Days offers growers and farmers a unique, broad range of knowledge all in the one place.

There is not only benefi ts gained by the primary pro-ducers at the event but the ex-hibitors also come away with positive feedback.

Mr Fulwood said growers can see and assess the need and value of the latest equip-ment and services available to their specifi c industry.

While the event is essen-tially a horticultural and ag-

ricultural event, Mr Fulwood said the continuous expan-sion of the Field Days means there is something for all of the family with a number of

entertainment options.He said there is much

work that goes into preparing for the Riverland Field Days.

“We go from straight after the last event and we are fl at out until today,” he said.

“It is a 12 month job.“When we need people to

help, we get people who are willing to help.”

In his second consecutive year as chairman of the com-mittee and his fourth overall, Mr Fulwood said he enjoys being able to interact with those people involved.

“It’s about the interaction with other bureau members or growers from other towns and talking about ideas and the pleasure of putting some-thing on for the community,” he said.

WITH summer just around the cor-ner, Honda Motorcycle & Power Equipment are excited to be bring-ing their premium products – and some great savings – to this year’s Riverland Field Days.

Honda’s current ‘Love my Honda, Love the Savings’ sales campaign has seen more and more domestic and commercial opera-tors getting their hands on quality Honda products.

Local independent Honda Deal-ers Waikerie Honda and Loxton Motorcycles will once again be a part of the Field Days this year.

With Honda’s full range of gar-den care equipment and generators on show, as well as plenty of off-road bikes for kids of all sizes to check out, the Honda tent is sure to be hot property.

Honda takes an uncompromis-ing approach to combining effi cien-cy, reliability and safety.

These offers will enable more people to take advantage of Hon-da’s range and save money not only on the initial purchase but on the maintenance and re-fuelling of Honda’s 4-Stroke products, com-pared to 2-Stroke products.

Honda Power Equipment na-tional sales manager Ray Briffa said the wide range of products on sale means that no matter what a cus-tomer is looking for in the lead-up to spring and summer, Honda products are now more accessible and affordable than ever.

“Our range of power equipment products is diverse and with these savings on offer across the board, there’s bound to be something for everyone,” he said.

“From entry level lawn mowers to our fl agship EU20i Generator, the vast majority of Honda products

will come with great savings all the way through spring and summer.

“They’re also backed by a com-bination of a four year warranty and our outstanding after sales support, giving anyone purchasing a Honda product complete peace of mind.”

The HRU19K1 Buffalo Buck lawn mower is perfect for resi-dential use, with low fuel con-sumption and with a powerful, long-lasting 4-Stroke GCV160 OHV/OHC engine.

Like all Honda mowers it starts fi rst time every time and contains Honda’s Engine Brake Technology for added safety.

For a limited time, the HRU19K1 costs just $699, meaning a saving of $100*.

With the addition of an option-al mulcher, the HRU19M1 Buffalo

Buck Mulch & Catch is now just $739, a saving of $100*.

Other Honda garden care products, such as the top-selling UMS425 Bent Shaft Brushcutter (now $299, save $70) and HHB25 Blower (now $499, save $60), will also offer customers even better value this season and will be on show at the Riverland Field Days for all to see.

Honda’s lightweight and whis-per-quiet EU20i Generator is an-other product offering big savings to its owner.

Delivering better than com-mercial quality electricity and up to 15 hours continuous operation, the EU20i is perfect for long sum-mer evenings spent outdoors with friends and family.

With a saving of $200* off the

previous price, the investment in a EU20i is now only $1899.

“Given that spring and sum-mer are on our doorstep, Honda owners can make the most of their new equipment as soon as they get them home and all throughout the warmer months,” Mr Briffa said.

“Great value, however, can take longer to recognise.

“Honda products address envi-ronmental and safety concerns and our 4-Stroke technology offers su-perior effi ciency, so you know that a Honda product will be offering excellent value for many seasons to come.”

In addition to Honda’s full power equipment range, the team from Waikerie Honda and Loxton Motorcycles will also have a num-ber of off-road motorcycles, includ-

ing ATV’s on show at the Riverland Field Days.

Giving locals the chance to get up close and personal

with premium Honda prod-ucts is one of the reasons that

Waikerie Honda and Loxton Mo-torcycle staff love coming back to

Riverland Field Days. Steve and Ian from Waikerie

Honda and Josh and Quincy from Loxton Motorcycles will be in atten-dance to help with any questions.

Honda Territory Manager Ante Cuk is excited to once again be as-sociated with this exciting event.

“To have so many Honda tools and toys in the one place is not only great exposure for the Honda brand but it’s also the perfect opportunity for

resi- dents of the Riverland region to check out our quality products,” Mr Cuk said.

“Combining our great value products with quality sales and ser-vice training for our independent Honda dealers gives our customers peace of mind that a Honda prod-uct is going to work as hard – and for as long – as needed.”

THE Riverland Field Days has a wide range of popular areas to head to during the event but four regular categories, The Grain Lane, The Tech Hub, Wine and Food Vil-lage and Irrigation Avenue, are a must visit.

The Grain LaneON the cusp of a bumper season, Riverland and Mallee farmers have the opportunity to utilise a wealth of expertise in The Grain Lane.

One of the newer concepts to the Riverland Field Days, The Grain Lane highlights exhibits of interest to the broadacre and dryland farmer.

From farm machinery and products to services for the grain farmer, The Grain Lane will incorporate Grain Assist Mar-keting, AWB Grain, Riverland Farm Machinery, Eglinton Agri Solutions, Elders, Landmark Riverland, Riverland Sheds, Riverland Welding and Tools, Grain Corp, Plus Trucks and Transport, Utility Vehicles, Weld-ing and Tools, Viterra, GBC Mo-tors, Harberger Farm Supplies, Hood's Tractors, Errol Matschoss Motors, Marshall Spreaders, Leda Farm Equipment and Dodgshun Medlin.

The Grain Lane offers a unique opportunity for farmers to have a number of services all available in one area.

“It has been something that has been growing at the Field Days for a number of years and now we've got this particular focus, not just to identify one particular lane but in the general concept of what there is for the dryland farmer,” Riverland Field Days secretary Tim Grieger said.

“This year we've got six grain marketers there and their whole focus is on Australian farming.

“We'd like to get the message out that they are there and they will come again in the future if the response from the farming com-munity is good.”

The Tech HubTECHNOLOGY has changed daily life and has had a profound impact on the Riverland Field Days.

With farmers, growers and businesses across the Riverland and Mallee relying on technology in their workplace and at home, the Telstra Tech Hub offers many options and expertise.

A special focus on information technology at the Riverland Field Days will see presentations on home technology.

In its second year, Riverland Field Days secretary Tim Grieger said the Tech Hub will continue to draw people in.

“Technology of course is an essential part of everyday life, it's how we live and breathe in a

communication sense and that's why we've got the Telstra Tech Hub,” he said.

“In the Tech Hub there will be a set up of a typical home and lounge chairs and the technology units that you can use, feel, touch and work in a home sense.”

Make sure you visit the Tech Hub at site 413.

Food and Wine VillageTHE unique Food and Wine Village continues to grow each year with 16 exhibitors at the 2012 Riverland Field Days.

Not only is it a showcase of the fi ne and scrumptious food the Riverland can produce but it gives people the chance to relax and mingle with the region's producers.

This year the layout of the vil-lage will also be different with out-door settings of tables and chairs in a central area, linking with the cooking marquee.

The exhibitors at site 540 in-clude 919 Wines, Arrosto Coffee Roasters, Backyard Bread, Banrock Station Wines, Chellodene Wines, Destination Riverland, European Cuisine, Riverland Farmers' Mar-kets, Frank Martins Oysters, Il-lalangi Wines, One Stop Gluten Free, Riverland Vine Improve-ment, Southern Emu, Spook Hill Wines, Whistling Kite Wines and Woolshed Brewery.

Irrigation Avenue

WHILE it may be one of the more standard features at the Riverland Field Days, Irrigation Avenue is not short of interesting and informa-tive products and exhibits.

Those involved in the hor-ticulture industry will know of Irrigation Avenue offering ap-plications, systems and the latest in technology.

At site 464 exhibitors include AgriExchange and River Rain Irri-gation, Aqualab, Ausrain Irrigation, Formatti Pump Repairs, Grundfos Pumps, Loxton Irrigation, Mea-surement Engineering, Netafi m, Triangle Water Equipment, Think-

water Riverland and Waterfi nd.“It provides the opportunity

for the irrigation community to catch up on the latest in technol-ogy and distribution systems,” Riverland Field Days secretary Tim Grieger said.

Professional and accredited training and licensing

WHEN it comes to professional and ac-credited training and licensing for all classes of heavy vehicles, Riverland family owned business Regional Transport Train-ing Services is just a phone call away.

Regional Transport Training provides licensing for heavy vehicles including Light Rigid (LR), Medium Rigid (MR), Heavy Rigid (HR), Heavy Combina-tion (HC) and Multi-Combination/Road Train (MC).

The busisness is also nationally ac-credited assessors for Forklift Truck (LF), Front end Loader (LL), Frontend Loader/Backhoe (LB), Skid Steer (LS) as well as Occupational Health and Safety White Card.

The family operated business has been servicing the Riverland, Mallee and Baros-sa since it was established in 1995, spe-cialising in heavy vehicle and load shifting equipment training.

Regional Transport Training Services managing director Brian Barnett said the business will be a the Riverland Field Days at site 933 with heavy vehicle trucks and information on training from cars to semi-trailers.

“They can get an idea of the services and the qualifi cations they could get through us,” Mr Barnett said.

The business will also soon add train-ing and certifi cates for excavators and bull-

dozers to its list of services available.“There is still a lot of interest and the

interest from the mining industry is still high even though there is a supposed lull,” Mr Barnett said.

“We are still getting a lot of enquiries of people wanting to get qualifi ed for the chance to get to the mines.

“We get a lot of work with local people looking to upgrade their farm vehicles and requiring licences with the grain harvest coming in.”

With four qualifi ed trainers, Regional Transport Training Services has the most comprehensive theoretical and practical training in the Riverland.

Mr Barnett said the business has grown since it was fi rst established in 1995.

“We started off with a 1991 Ford Laser and we’ve grown the business from be-ing me on my own to where it is now,” he said.

Regional Transport Training Services is currently based at The Riverland Complex off the Old Sturt Highway in Berri but can come to your door for training.

“We will go on site providing it meets the Safework SA standards,” Mr Barnett said.

■ TRAINING: A selection of the vehicles used at Regional Transport Training Services.

A NEW exhibit to the Riverland Field Days this year is the vintage World War II equipment display.

As part of the display a cannon will also be fi red, ex-pected to attract a number of people to witness the event.

The 25 pound cannon will make the trip from the Edinburgh Military Museum and be fi red twice a day at 10.30am and 2.30pm.

Co-ordinator John Fisk said the 1942 gun tractor and gun from World War II will be fi red during the Riverland Field Days.

There will also be a rifl e drill from the weapon used in both World Wars.

Mr Fisk said the cannon travels all over Australia to various events to be show-cased and is always popular.

“We have to give peo-

ple plenty of warning,” he laughed.

“It shoots out a fl ame which goes out about fi ve metres but you don’t usually see that with the naked eye, cameras can catch it.”

Mr Fisk said a military ve-hicle, ammunition tray and gun case will all be on display, while those fi ring the cannon will wear the uniform from the 1950s.

MARION Grasby has come a long way since working as a journalist in Renmark fi ve years ago.

The MasterChef contestant will be the ce-lebrity cook at this year’s Riverland Field Days and she is more than happy to be back.

“It is just nice to go back to a region that I really loved living in,” she told the Riverland Weekly.

“Even though I’m not South Australian, I still think of myself as a South Australian.”

Inspired by her Asian heritage, Mari-on plans to give those in attendance at the Riverland Field Days an infusion of delicious fl avours during two demonstrations daily.

“Asian fl avours are my favourite food, so everything has a bit of an Asian slant to it which hopefully everyone will enjoy,” she said.

Providing an example of what she will be cooking at the Riverland Field Days, Marion said a recipe of crispy prawn noodles and an-other involving lamp dumplings and also a dish with local lamb cutlets are on the menu.

She said the demonstrations will be tar-geted at home cooks and will be simple but tasty.

“I don’t think of myself as a chef, I think of myself as a home cook,” Marion said.

“Most people in the food industry would love to be a two Michelin Star chef but I don’t have 10 hours to spend cooking a dish for dinner.

“For me food is about being able to enjoy the cooking process which means if it has to be quick, it has to be quick but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to be tasty.”

It has been quite a journey for Marion since leaving the ABC newsroom in the Riverland in 2007 and studying a masters in food and wine history in the city.

“I had been doing that for two years and wondering how I was going to make food my job,” she said.

“What MasterChef has done is really push me into the food industry that I wanted to get into anyway.

“Going on MasterChef really helped me to realise that I could do something like a food range, I could be a food writer and write cookbooks.

“For me it was a really big launching pad.”Since then Marion has released her own

food range, written cookbooks and for maga-zines and held cooking demonstrations and talks across Australia.

“I love doing the food range, it has prob-

ably been one of the biggest accomplishments I’ve been able to achieve so far,” she said.

“More than 120,000 families buy my packs to take home for dinner every month and when I had just left the Riverland and started my masters in food and wine history, I would never have realised that would be the case.

“While it is weird seeing my head on the box, it’s nice knowing that it’s there.”

Recently returning to the MasterChef kitch-en for the All-Stars series was a great experi-ence, according to Marion.

“MasterChef All-Stars was so fun because when I did MasterChef the fi rst time we were living in the house for six months, so you be-come really good friends with the other con-testants,” she said.

“Being able to go back and hang out with everyone, plus meet a lot of the guys from the other series was really fun, I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in a small space of time as I did fi lming that show.”

Marion said her career has shown that any-one can pursue their dream job.

“Food has always been such a natural part of my life,” she said.

“My mum’s a chef and we grew up travel-ling all over the world and my family are really big foodies and I’ve just always loved it.

“It’s like anything, when you have a pas-sion for something...you just want to do it all the time.”

Her knowledge of the food industry will be passed on at the Riverland Field Days when Marion judges the High Schools Cooking Challenge, where she will also provide advice.

“I think it is great to be able to chat to high school students or younger people and say to them, ‘it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, what school you go to, you can always achieve something in life’,” she said.

“I love being involved with young people just to let them know that they can get some-where one day.”

What about some advice for budding chefs and home cooks?

“You need to not get so stressed out, I always feel that food can sense when you are scared, so you just need to relax,” she laughed.

“Everyone makes mistakes. “I’ve cooked plenty of disaster meals and

I think there are far worst things going on in the world, there are droughts, there are fi res, famines and wars and burning your roast lamb is not the end of the world.”

THE RIVERLAND Caravan Club will be on the hunt for new members at this year’s Riverland Field Days.

The club, which formed almost 40 years ago, current-ly has 15 vans in its member-ship and is hoping to grow.

Riverland Caravan Club president Kaye Parrotta said having a presence at the Field Days is about raising aware-ness of the group and what it does.

“We’ve been thinking that our numbers are dropping

back and whether the people in the Riverland know they have a Riverland Caravan Club in the area,” she said.

The club will have three caravans on display at Barmera and Mrs Parrotta said people will be able to stop and en-quire about the group.

Mrs Parrotta said most people only use their caravan for holidays but if they are a member of the club it can be used every month.

“It’s a social thing, use your van and meet nice peo-

ple,” she said.“We were one of the fi rst

members to join and we had a caravan and we had young children and you can go away for the weekend and take your families with you and have a good time.”

The caravan club organ-ises two safari trips annually with the members already heading to Melrose and Mildura this year.

Mrs Parrotta said anyone is welcome to join the club no matter their age.

FLEXI-COIL has appointed Lyndoch Motors as an of-fi cial Flexi-Coil dealership, coinciding with the com-pany’s 60th anniversary last year.

“We’d like to congratu-late Lyndoch Motors on their 60th anniversary, it’s a milestone to be proud of,” Flexi-Coil Australia General Manager Steve Mulder said.

“Lyndoch Motors has built an outstanding repu-tation in the industry for providing excellent service and support to their cus-tomers, regardless of what their customers run.

“Their strong track re-cord is something Flexi-Coil can identify with and we’re really excited to have joined forces with Lyndoch Motors to take both our business-es into the next phase of

our development.”Appointed in August

of 2011, Lyndoch Motors has two branches with one in Lyndoch and the other in Angaston.

But the company prides itself on servicing equip-ment where it matters – on farm.

“After 60 years of trad-ing, and I’ve been here for 47 of those years, we have an extremely experienced team of sales reps and ser-vice staff,” Lyndoch Motors Dealer Principal Graham Ahrens said.

“We believe we can give people what they want and what they need in terms of service and now, with Flexi-Coil on board, we can give them what we believe is one of the best seed-ing and tillage brands on the market.

“The new PD 5700 precision hoe drill is a great product that proves that Flexi-Coil is here to stay – much like Lyndoch Motors.”

Because seeding and tillage has been a huge part of Lyndoch Motors’ busi-ness for decades, the com-pany was already well set up to service and support Flexi-Coil machines.

“We’ve always had tillage equipment and Flexi-Coil will be an in-tegral part of our busi-ness for the future,” Mr Ahrens said.

“I believe there is a huge potential for growth in this region.”

For more informa-tion on the range of Flexi-Coil equipment on of-fer, call Lyndoch Motors on (08) 8524 4140.

LOXTON to Bookpurnong Local Action Planning Asso-ciation, with the SA Murray Darling Basin NRM Board, Aquaculture Advantage, local landholders Max and Mon-ica Gray and Caring for Our Country funding, has set up an aquaponics training facil-ity at Loxton North.

The project partners have already delivered one round of hands-on training at the site and are gearing up for delivery of a second round of training.

Those partners will have a display at the Riverland Field Days within the De-partment of Environment, Water and Natural Resources marquee at site 309 to 313 on Third Avenue, to promote the concept as well as the sec-ond round of training.

Aquaponics is a sys-tem whereby a freshwater aquaculture system and a hydroponic vegetable pro-

duction system are located side-by-side and one lot of water is circulated between the two systems.

The water contaminated with fi sh waste that would or-dinarily have to be dumped periodically becomes a nu-trient laden input into the

vegetable production system, which in turn, provides a nat-ural form of water fi ltration.

Anyone interested in get-ting involved with the proj-ect and/or training should contact the LBLAP proj-ect manager Craig Ferber on 0429 913 508.

■ BIG SMILE: Kyesha Watkins is happy as she has her face painted at the Kids Corner last year.

ONE of the most colour-ful and creative events of the Riverland Field Days, Ag Art Wear, is expected to again be a major drawcard.

In previous years crowds have fl ocked to the sound shell to see models parading the creative designs.

There are categories for adults and high school stu-dents, with the idea being that they create a garment from items found around the farm or fruit block.

Ag Art Wear organiser Julie Plush said the contest is both competitive and fun.

“I think it adds some colour and some interest,” she said.

“Lots of people like watch-ing all of the creations come on stage.

“It just has to be made from horticultural or agri-cultural items, things you would fi nd around a farm or a fruit block.”

While the designers en-joy seeing their creations on stage, the models also have lots of fun.

“They love being involved in it,” Mrs Plush said.

“The girls who did the modelling last year had an ab-solute ball.

“There is no limit to the creativity, it is just someone’s imagination.”

The winner of the Riverland Field Days event will have the chance for their design to head to the Elmore Field Days, in Victoria, for an opportunity to compete in New Zealand.

There will be two Ag Art Wear shows on Wednes-day and Thursday at 12 and 2.30pm.

To enter the competi-tion, contact Julie Plush on 0438 837 307.

CHILDREN will be en-tertained at this year’s Riverland Field Days with plenty of activities to keep a smile on their face.

At site 424, the free Kids Corner has a range of activities including music, face painting, bal-loon tying, play dough, drawing, arts and crafts, book corner, story telling and bubble blowing.

Parents can relax with tea or coffee as their children be entertained or play on the provided equipment.

Children will also be provided with fruit and sunscreen, with the op-tion for parents to feed and change their young

ones if required.One of the most

popular children’s activi-ties at the Riverland Field Days is the safari.

Entrants follow around a map of the fi eld day sites to fi nd the hid-den giraffes and receive goodies.

The journey begins with a $10 explorer bag and from there children will receive toys, fruit and fun activities at over 20 sites.

The safari is now in its sixth year and is located at site 429A.

“It’s always popular for the younger ones,” Riverland Field Days sec-retary Tim Grieger said.


AFTER an outstanding response at last year’s Riverland Field Days, the Riverland Vintage and Clas-sic Car Club will return.

The club, boasting al-most 300 members and as-sociates, will be displaying a variety of classic cars during the iconic event with space for 15 vehicles on each day.

Amongst the vehicles will be an international truck recently restored at Barmera, a Ford truck from Monash, a restored Volvo and a Ford Ranch Wagon.

Club president Joy Mules said the response from the public last year was worth-while with growing interest

in the group.“The organisers were

very pleased and we found of the general public, there seemed to be somebody standing around looking at the cars quite frequently,” she said.

“We are hoping to have different cars on the second day.

“There will be a mix-ture of some cars, a cou-ple of utes and a truck on both days.”

Mrs Mules said local car owners are proud to dis-play their vehicles during the event which is expected to attract around 16,000 people.

“It’s amazing the huge collection of vehicles that is around,” she said.

“I enjoy vehicles and I can say my Austin 7 will be there again on the fi rst day.”

The club, which exists to promote the restoration, preservation and enjoyment of motor vehicles with his-toric interest, continues to grow.

“We fi nd that nearly every meeting there are a couple of people interested in becoming members,” Mrs Mules said.

“For a country area, I think it probably is one of the largest car clubs that is in South Australia.”

FOR the fi rst time at the Riverland Field Days, those in attendance will have the op-portunity to feel the bumps and speed of a real V8 Super-car track.

The Ford V8 Supercar Simulator, at site 842, is heading to the Riverland after touring around the nation to give racing fans a taste of life in the fast lane.

For $5 per ride, you can experience the adrenalin rush of the track, as surround-sound intesnsifi es the simu-lated g-force rush.

You will be given the opportunity to experience

what it is like inside V8 Su-percar driver Mark Winter-bottom’s impressive race car as he speeds towards the fi nish line.

The simulator can seat up to 10 people and uses sound, movement and visual effects to create a real life experi-ence.

The footage used includes V8 tracks such as Bathurst and the Adelaide street cir-cuit as the driver experiences acceleration and braking.

Riverland Field Days sec-retary Tim Grieger said the V8 Supercar Simulator is another unique attraction

at the event.“It’s not actually simulat-

ed driving, you just sit there and experience the thrill of the race track,” he said.

“You are in there with a big video screen up the front and it is just as if you are sit-ting in the car, driving on the race track.

“The screen gives you the vision and the unit gives you the g-forces of the corners, the humps and the accelera-tion and breaking.

“I had the opportunity to have a go in it at a fi eld day I went to earlier this year and it was very realistic.”

THIS month marks one year since the release of the Kulkyne 2kVA Inverter Generator onto the Aus-tralian market.

In this time these generators have been extremely successful with the company frequently sell-ing out of stock.

The reason for the success of this product has been the quality of the product, combined with the reliability of a genuine Yamaha MZ80 engine.

As well as offering the gen-erator, Kulkyne Kampers can also carry out the fi nal assembly and quality control on this product in their Red Cliffs workshop ensuring that each generator meets its high quality standards.

Each unit is also bench tested in Kulkyne Kampers workshop to ensure that when a customer receives their generator that it meets the company’s high qual-ity standards for performance and reliability.

One of the standout achieve-ments of this generator over the past 12 months has been the re-liability of the inverter with the failure rate running at well under one per cent.

In an Inverter Generator, the inverter converts the genera-tors’ output into clean, pure sine wave power so that you can run sensitive equipment such as bat-tery and phone chargers with-out damage and also start large loads like caravan airconditioners and microwaves.

The inverter also controls the throttle on the carburettor, ensur-ing that the engine only works as

hard as it needs to power the load running from the generator.

This ensures maximum fuel economy and also minimal noise levels.

In fact the Kulkyne 2kVA In-verter Generator can run up to 15hrs on a tank of fuel, dependant on load.

The quality of this generator has not been the only reason for its success.

Kulkyne Kampers also back this product up with a three plus two year no stress, no worries

warranty policy, which means customers who own this product can rest assured of full support in the unlikely event that something goes wrong.

Kulkyne Kampers is currently in the process of setting up an Australia wire dealer and sup-port network for their genera-tors but in the interim they have a very fl exible warranty policy that allows customers to get their generator repaired at a location that is convenient to them and Kulkyne Kampers will pick up

the bill. It is also much easier to talk

to the staff at Kulkyne Kampers than at many large companies, as they are a medium size fam-ily owned business and their focus is strongly on customer service and ensuring their cus-tomers are totally satisfi ed with their purchase.

In the future Kulkyne Kampers also plans to release new models with a 3kVA mod-el currently in research and development.

Kulkyne Kampers will be at site 810 at the Riverland Field Days with their generators on display so that you can come down and hear them running.

They will also have their swag range on display and auto fridges which are the most power ef-fi cient camping fridge on the Australian market.

It’s defi nitely worth coming down to the Kulkyne Kampers dis-play to say hello to the team at the fi eld day and check out these great value products.

AFTER almost 20 years, Bazza the Bunyip is visiting the region for the Riverland Field Days on Wednesday and Thursday.

The River Murray environ-mental ambassador is returning to help promote awareness on the River Murray ECO Action campaign.

River Murray ECO Action project join co-ordinator Dick Olesinski said Bazza is keen to let everyone know how they can do their bit and not only keep enjoying the River Mur-ray but to also care for the environment.

KESAB, the Boating Industry Association of South Australia (BIASA) and the State Govern-ment have joined forces to intro-duce an environmental aware-ness campaign focusing on the issue of wash from vessels on the River Murray.

The aim of the River Murray ECO Action campaign is to better manage vessel wash to improve the safety of vessels and people and to reduce environmental harm, such as bank erosion, nuisance to waterway users and damage to property.

The campaign targets the length of the River Murray within SA borders using a staged ap-proach to establish trial 'No Wash' zones.

Currently a trial of 'No Wash' signs is in place in areas along the River Murray where wash from vessels can cause damage, injury or annoyance to other vessels, the shoreline or people.

The signs are in place at Blanchetown, Mannum and

Murray Bridge.Mr Olesinksi said Bazza

is looking forward to his fi rst trip to the region for almost two decades.

“It just adds another dimen-sion because he's there on varying levels, one being environmental protection and the second being the river bank erosion issues,” he said.

“Bazza is very keen to pro-mote people's enjoyment on

the river but for them to also be aware of what is happening around them.

“The Field Days is very much about getting that out there and interacting with the community and making people feel good that Bazza is back.”

Maps of the proposed 'No Wash' zones will be on display at the Murray Darling Basin NRM Board site at the Riverland Field Days.

Historic invention competition creates interesting ideasTHE long running inven-tion competition is on again at this year’s River-land Field Days, although entries are far off what they used to be.

“It’s not something that is huge anymore,” Field Days secretary Tim

Greiger said.“It used to be but we

don’t want to let it go ei-ther, so we keep it there for those that are still tinkering away in their backyard and making things.

“The purpose was years ago for blockies to

share their ideas of how to build things to make life easier on the farm but nowadays there is so much commercially avail-able the need for that isn’t as great but it’s still there and some great ideas do come forward.”

year’s invention competition.

Three-in-a-row for BSRBLANCHETOWN Swan Reach won its third straight Riverland Independent Net-ball Association premiership on the weekend, defeating East Murray 51 to 27.

The team’s winning mo-

mentum was on display in the 24 goal win with defend-ers Ashleigh Stapleton, Shai-ley Coleman, Jen Steer and Courtenay Warren all playing well.

Stapleton was awarded

the Best on Court honour with A grade coach Helen Turnbull and captain Jo Schmitt ecstatic when receiv-ing the premiership fl ag.

In the B grade, Brown’s Well claimed the title.

Redbacks run riotA DETERMINED Blanche-

town Swan Reach rewrote its own history when the club claimed its fi rst premiership in the Riverland Independent Football Leauge on Saturday at Cobdgola.

BSR went into the match as outright favourite against Ramco but the Roosters had knocked off the much fancied premiership contenders Paringa in the preliminary fi nal.

From the fi rst bounce, the Redbacks took control kicking with what appeared to be a two goal breeze.

After a Max Martinson tap on, Chris Giles made the most of his opportunities to soccer through the fi rst major and open the scoring.

It was evident early that Ramco would have no answer to the run and carry of Dale Payne and Troy Cowland, de-spite the pair gaining early touches in defence.

Jed Martinson added the Redbacks second goal after shrugging off two tacklers in the goal square and when Dave Waechter put on the after burn-ers with a bounce down the wing resulting in a Ryan Schil-ler goal, the lead had skipped out to 17 points.

While some of Ramco’s stars throughout the season were missing, veteran defender Kym Thiel hit the football hard but the ball quickly rebounded back into defence.

A Cowland goal stretched the lead after Scott Young’s courageous attack on the foot-ball and it was only until some front and centre roving from Bryce Matthews that Ramco fi -nally kicked a major.

The intensity from BSR was evident with big tackles on key play makers Max Baddack and Jamie O’Callaghan and the Roosters were showing signs of frustration giving away a sec-ond 50 metre penalty in the fi rst quarter resulting in a goal to Jed Martinson.

A shell shocked Ramco went into the fi rst break 28

points down and things only got worse in the second term.

Simon Mattner goaled after a mark on the lead and when Max Martinson managed to soccer a miraculous left foot

goal off the ground from 20 metres out, the fl oodgates had opened.

Josh Waechter goaled from the pocket and the lead stretched out to 44 points late in the second term.

The move of Mark Coleman as the lose defender was paying off with Ramco unable to kick over his head and Baddack hav-ing to outmark two opponents.

As captain Marcus McGrath began to fi nd the football

for Ramco, Mark McDonald snuck home a much needed major, however, a free kick and 50 metre penalty gifted Jamie Tanner another goal with the margin at half time being 46 points.

The Roosters came out deter-mined to mount a fi ght back

in the third quarter, control-ling most of the play in their forward 50 but were unable to kick majors.

Baddack opened the term with a strong contested mark and goal before a brilliant indi-vidual run from Troy Cowland and resulting goal to Chris Giles turned the momentum back to the Redbacks.

Nick Black slotted a tight angled set shot after a brilliant tackle on Dale Payne before Scott Marr was sent off with a yellow card for a heated ex-change with Scott Young.

Going into the last term fac-ing a 37 point defi cit, both

teams exchanged majors before Matthews slotted his third to re-duce the margin.

However, Payne, Cowland and Tanner all stepped up as goals went to Jed Martinson, Scott McKenzie and Chris Giles.

Payne’s best on ground per-formance was topped off with a chasing tackle on Baddack and 50 metre penalty resulting in a goal to the duel Duthie medal-ist.

For the losing team, ruck-man Jamie O’Callaghan was superb all day but his midfi eld-ers were outclassed.

BSR coach Peter Zadow was visibly emotional as the siren sounded to hand his team a 63 point win.

“This was three years in the making and we came out on top,” he said.

RFL B GRADE


Waikerie v Berri

UNDEFEATED Waikerie will be hoping to be the fi rst B grade team in its history to win three consecutive fl ags in this week-end’s grand fi nal against Berri.

The Demons have had an in-spired month of football, caus-ing upset after upset to reach the grand fi nal.

Anything could happen.Waikerie is due for a loss and

Berri is running hot.However, it is hard to see

the Magpies giving up such a strong season with the likes of

Shayne Stevens, Steve Hefford, Michael Beelitz, Steve Liebich, Ben Haynes and Brooke Hoad in the line-up.

Berri has been given an injection of youth with Ryan Langcake and Tyson Schrapel holding their own.

Rory Correll and Dave Cen-tofanti have been good in the midfi eld, while Chris Bland has got fi rst hand on the ball and Scott Murphy was good up for-ward in the preliminary fi nal.

This match could be closer than many people think but Waikerie should win its third straight premiership.

Mallee Football Leauge

BDT does it againBDT does it again

BORDER DOWNS Tintinara (pictured) continued its domi-nant decade in the Mallee Foot-ball League with a 79 point grand fi nal win over Karoonda on Saturday.

After an even fi rst term, the

Crows kicked 6.5 to 0.3 in the second quarter.

BDT’s Lachlan Richardson was named best on ground, while the best team man went to Jarran Crabb at BDT and Mark Corrie for Karoonda.

WAIKERIE’S Michael Bratton will be given the opportunity to achieve the double when he plays in the grand fi nal on Saturday after winning the prestig-ious Whillas Medal on Monday night.

Barmera-Monash’s Michael Smart took the lead after eight rounds, how-ever, Bratton’s 11 votes in four rounds elevated him to fi rst after 12 games.

He increased his lead over Smart, with Berri’s Adam Beauchamp and 2011 Whillas Medal winner Dillon Millard in third.

The overall standings saw Bratton on 23 votes, Smart on 18 and Millard and Beauchamp on 15.

Meanwhile, in other awards, the B grade Best and Fairest count came down to the wire with Loxton’s Grant Dahlitz polling in the fi nal two rounds to just beat Barmera-Monash veteran David Whitbourne by four votes.

In the under 18s, Waikerie’s Danny Marr was unchallenged as he cruised to claim the best and fairest award with 20 votes, ahead of teammate Billy Cameron on 13.

Berri’s Ryan Porter was named Foot-baller of the Year, Nathan Brown re-ceived the Corey Siemers Memorial for the best West Adelaide Football Club junior, Barmera-Monash’s Brody Jen-nings was announced as the Best First Year Player, Shayne and Damian Ste-vens were acknowledged as the top un-der 18s coaches and Barmera-Monash A grade coach Lyndon Burns was named Coach of the Year.

LAST year Waikerie went into the Riverland Football League grand fi nal against Loxton North as favourite to win the fl ag but this time round against Barmera-Monash, it is the Magpies that is the underdog.

It is a tag that Waikerie co-coach Craig Griffi ths is happy to accept.

“When you lose a fi nal it makes you even hungrier and we have raised that (the grand fi nal loss) but it is not a focus at all,” he said.

“They deserve to start favou-rites, they’ve been the form side all year and we’ll go up there as the underdogs.

“We’re going to have to play at our very best to beat those blokes because everything has fallen in the right spot for those boys at the moment.

“While we are happy to give ourselves a chance in the grand fi nal this week, we are certainly going to be doing everything to get the result and fi nish the job.”

While Griffi ths said the team would have preferred a week’s rest by winning the preliminary fi nal, playing in consecutive weeks helped some players.

“The boys did what they had to do against Loxton North and that has put us in a good position with a lot of confi dence going into a grand fi nal,” he said.

“There are always pros and cons from playing in the prelimi-nary fi nal.

“There are a few boys who needed a good run and they’ve got it and will be better off for it this weekend.”

Griffi ths said Barmera-Monash will start favou-rite but Waikerie has beaten them this season and he is confi dent it can do the same again.

“We certainly were looking forward to having a week off back then and we threw everything at them to win the second semi-fi nal,” he said.

“I would say that is certainly an advantage for Barmera now.

“Their players have had an opportunity to get over those nig-gling injuries and rest the legs, it does make a difference.”

There is much hype around

the town in the lead-up to the grand fi nal at Renmark, accord-ing to Griffi ths.

“There is a big build-up down here in Waikerie where we enjoy that and to be honest, it’s about pulling the reigns in rather than providing motivation for blokes, they know what it’s about,” he said.

Waikerie has an advantage with a number of senior fi nals campaigners and the likes of Craig Miller, Ben Venning, Tim Bevan, Michael Bratton, Andrew Bachmann, Aaron Nettelbeck and Glen Schreiber ready to give it their best.

“To quote Tom Hafey, if ev-ery player was to give their best, you can’t ask for more than that

and the results will follow from there,” Griffi ths said.

Waiting on Stevens and Sutton

WAIKERIE will play the wait-ing game for star midfi elder Da-mian Stevens who injured his hamstring against Loxton North.

Griffi ths said he is hopeful Stevens will not miss his second consecutive grand fi nal.

“He is doing everything he possibly can to give himself a chance of playing in a grand fi -nal,” he said.

“He knows realistically where he is going to be, he is an ex-perienced footballer, he has been around and knows what it takes to get up and play in a grand fi nal.

“I’m sure he’ll be honest with himself and the club and come Thursday night, Friday, we will assess him through his fi t-ness, we’ll make a decision at that point.

“Until then his name is on the magnet board and we hope he can come up.”

Jackson Sutton, who suffered a serious knee injury halfway through the season, has been training and may be available for selection.

“We will just have to see how he goes, he’ll have to train fl at out this week to declare himself fi t,” Griffi ths said.

Underdogs ready to fi re

■ RISING STAR: Waikerie’s Joseph Haines has had a strong season and could get a major

match-up in the fi nal.

AFTER being recruited by Waikerie from the Sturt Football Club last year, Bratton took a number of rounds to adjust to the different style of the local game.

“I really struggled to adjust early last year with bigger grounds and a different style of footy but I adapted to it four or fi ve rounds in,” he said.

“Very different but it is a good brand of footy, very open and fast fl owing.”

Since Bratton settled into the midfi eld at the Magpies he had not looked back, consistently featuring amongst the club’s best players and catching the eye of the umpires, who provide votes for the Whil-las Medal which he won on Monday night.

“It is obviously a nice individual hon-our, you don’t play footy for those awards but it is something you take,” he said.

“I thought I was consistent but prob-ably had a few more standout perfor-mances this year compared to last year, so maybe that helped in the voting.

“It would be great to cap off a good year and that’s what you do all the train-ing for and all the in-season games for to get an opportunity to play in a grand fi nal.”

Bratton has vowed to continue to play football in the Riverland and said he is proud to have his name alongside teammate Damian Stevens, who won the Whillas Medal in 2010.

“It’s obviously a very good honour and reading through some of the names who have won it previously, it defi nitely means a lot,” he said.

WAIKERIE defender Steven Braun is looking forward to playing on the big stage that is the Riverland Football League grand fi nal.

After being selected in the South Australian Country team and playing in the na-tional tournament earlier in the year, Braun can certainly be happy when he refl ects on the season.

However, adding a pre-miership to his list of achieve-ments would turn that smile to elation.

“The feeling is pretty en-thusiastic and positive be-cause we’ve got three teams in the grand fi nal,” he said.

“It is going to be a big week, not only for around the footy club but around the community as well and the whole town.

“Usually the main street gets decked out and the shops put some streamers and ban-ners up, so it is pretty big for the town.”

Braun, who is in his second season playing for Waikerie, had never played in a senior grand fi nal before last year’s shattering loss to Loxton North.

“Last year was probably a bit surreal because I hadn’t played in a senior grand fi nal before, so it was probably a

bit nerve wracking,” he said.“This year it is a bit

easier to get into being my second year.

“There will still be nerves but I know what to look for-ward to.”

The two teams have met on four occasions this sea-son with Waikerie causing an upset once and Braun is confi dent the team can do it again.

“We’ve got some confi -dence and defi nitely we want to erase the memories of last year by celebrating a premier-ship,” he said.

PLAYERS PLAYERS TO WATCHTO WATCH

ANYONE who follows foot-ball in the Riverland knows that it has been 23 years since Barmera-Monash won an A grade premiership.

It is certainly something the coaching panel and players can-not hide from and nor do they intend to.

As the team runs out onto Renmark Oval to take on Waikerie in the 2012 Riverland Football League grand fi nal, the Roos are just hoping to get the monkey off their back.

After fi nishing minor premier, Barmera-Monash has proven it is ready to make the next step and with a week off after winning the preliminary fi nal, has as good as chance as ever to do it.

Barmera-Monash coach Lyn-don Burns said the club’s A grade premiership drought has been spoken about often during the season.

“We all know the jobs not done yet and the big one is still to go,” he said.

“Half the lads I’m coach-ing weren’t even born 23 years ago but they understand what it means to the footy club and that’s what I’ve drilled into them.

“This club needs this and re-ally the town needs it, the sup-

p o r t e r s need it.

“ I k n o w Waikerie were dis-

appointed last year, they’ve got that taste and they want to make a menz for last year but we’ve got 23 years of trying to get that horrible disappointement of not winning one.

“The passion around the footy club is defi nitely there.”

The week off will give the players fresh legs and it also means Tyler Baldock has been able to overcome his injury.

The selection process is likely to be relatively straight forward with Jake Schwertzferger train-ing hard in a bid to be selected following a serious injury and Callum Buchecker, Kade Boase and Ben Harrington are all in the mix.

Burns said while the club re-spects Waikerie, he said it is time

the Roos added to their own re-cent history.

“We know Waikerie have been the powerhouse over the past two decades, they really have been the side to beat,” he said.

“We know it is going to be an armwrestle but if you don’t have respect for the opposition you are not going to go anywhere.

“If we can all walk off the ground and look each other in the eye and say we gave it our utmost best, we left nothing out there and we lose, then we are beaten by a better side.”

The Roos have a number of players who need to stand up on Saturday and continue what they have been doing all year in-cluding Dillon Millard, Michael Smart, Marc and Sam Elliott, Jake

Smith and Murray Middleton to name a few.

Either Middleton or Baldock are likely to be forced to play against Steven Braun, while Smart and Bevan should compete on the wing and Dillon Millard may take Ben Venning.

Burns said if his young team can get a taste of winning a premiership, he believes there will be much more success in future years.

“They are a young bunch of lads and if they get a taste of winning one, I reckon they could possibly win two or three more,” he said.

“Forget about the ‘Buff’ Tyrell era, they’ve got their own gold-en era sitting here waiting for them to go.”

AFTER a season ending knee injury sidelined Barmera-Monash captain Matt Leyson for 12 months, there is no doubt the Roos missed their inspi-ration leader.

Upon returning to the team this season, Leyson has fi lled an im-portant role off half back and re-gained the confi dence he had before the injury.

“It took a couple of games to get going,” he said.

“I always targeted myself to be playing in round one, to play a cou-ple of games in the B grade just to get the feel of it again and then back into the A grade.

“Once I had a couple of games in the A grade it was like I never missed a game.

“I got confi dence back in my knee pretty quick and I haven’t looked back since and it hasn’t given me any worries at all.”

A premiership win would be the fairytale fi nish to the season for the captain, who has played at Barmera-Monash since the age of nine.

“It would be pretty special to be involved in a winning fl ag,” he said.

“It has been 23 years for the club, there has been a lot of patient people out there, so let’s hope we can get the big one on the board for them.”

Preparation for the grand fi nal will be somewhat different with Leyson and Nick Kuhn coaching the Roos’ under 15s, which are also in the

grand fi nal.“The feeling is good, excited as al-

ways and just really looking forward to getting out there,” he said.

Leyson said the key to stopping Waikerie is in the midfi eld.

“We want to look at playing four quarters of footy, if we can do that

it will go a long way to winning the game,” he said.

“The midfi eld is always a pivotal battle, whoever wins that normally comes out on top of the game.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSSWITH GRAHAM CHARLTON The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...T

■ From Page 44

ALREADY under the no-tice of Australian offi cials, Karri had her fi rst overseas tour to England with a na-tional under 16 team and since then has been to Ja-pan with an Australian A2 side and to India at under 21 level.

But her big break came last year when she moved to Perth to take up a junior scholarship with the Austra-lian Institute of Sport.

“It was a junior schol-arship but I was fortunate enough to be invited to train with the Olympic squad right up to selection for London as part of my AIS involvement,” she said.

In Perth, Karri, a defender, is training full time and plays for Jamie Dwyer’s club in the local competition.

She is also studying at University.

During my chat with Kar-

ri on Monday night it did not take long for her to shift at-tention to the fact that back here at home she has two young sisters, Merinda who is now playing in Adelaide, and Kira, playing for Berri, who are also showing promise in the sport.

Talking to leading local hockey identity Brett Stokes who has seen Karri rise through the ranks including her time at Berri he said “I think it is amazing that de-spite her heavy involvement at the AIS and with state and Australian sides Karri still found time to not only play but to coach Berri players when she was home from Western Australia recently”.

“She has never forgotten where home is,” he said.

The Women’s Champi-ons Challenge will be held in Dublin from September 29 to October 7.

Hockeyroos Coach Adam Commens is taking

the event so seriously that he has selected 12 of the 16 players from London for the tournament.

The only other South Australian in the squad for Dublin is Bianca Green-shields who entered the AIS in Western Australia around the same time as Karri.

Karri’s father Gavin said the talented player has worked hard to get where she is today.

“We are ecstatic and ex-cited for her,” he said.

“To become an elite ath-lete it is a really long road and unless you’ve done it, I don’t think people realise the sacrifi ces that the kids have to make to get there.

“She is very passionate about hockey and she has made a lot those sacrifi ces.

“I’ve watched here through a lot of junior tour-naments and I always be-lieved that she had the po-tential to go further.”

Loxton wins fl ag■ LOXTON fought back from eight goals down at quarter time to defeat defending cham-pion and 2012 minor premier Renmark 46-42 in a thrilling A1 netball grand fi nal at Renmark Stadium on Friday night.

Whilst perhaps not contain-ing the intrigue of the Loxton premiership win against the odds against the same opponent in 2010 under coach Sharona Ed-wards, this surprise victory was a similar triumph for fi rst year mentor Sally Wright.

After all, in the three minor round meetings between the rival clubs in this season’s minor round, Renmark won comfortably on each occasion in consistent domination, 55-36, 51-33 and 55-32.

That is 161 goals to 101 overall.Then came that sensational

second semi-fi nal result when Renmark got a serious wake-up call when it scraped in with 39 goals to Loxton’s 38.

Loxton then had a solid work-out in winning the preliminary fi nal against Berri but early in Friday night’s premiership game it appeared in deep trouble as Renmark was obviously intent on there being no repeat of the scare it had received a fortnight earlier.

Led by Kerri Turk, the Renmark midfi eld took com-

plete control, Hannah Foody was strong in defence and with the competition’s best and fair-est award winner Anita Modlin-ski and Lauren Gardner on target around the goals, an eight goal lead at the end of the fi rst quarter put the reigning premier on tar-get for back-to-back titles.

But in the second stanza it was almost as if the teams had changed uniforms as Loxton out-scored Renmark by 10 goals to lead by two at half time.

The Loxton midfi elders took over with the attacking play of Jacki Dahlitz, Hollie Bullock and Best on Court award winner Eve Will sensational in setting up op-portunities for super accurate goal shooter Alysha Proud and her ex-perienced side kick Lyn Sweeney.

Defenders Leah Uren and Amber George also got on top of their opponents.

Not to be denied, Renmark inspired by Turk, Foody and De-nika Gartery took the honours narrowly in a see-sawing third term and held a one goal advan-tage at the turn for home but a couple of moves by Wright in the last quarter seemed crucial in the concluding stages as Loxton was able to battle its way clear.

Amber George moved to goal attack, while her sister Skye came

off the bench to add height to the defence and with Proud still shooting accurately from any po-sition she found herself in, it was to be Loxton’s title after yet an-other classic battle between these great rivals.

In the A2 grand fi nal, Loxton North also came from behind to grab the title against Renmark 49-43.

Loxton North’s Kerri Hutchinson took out the Best on Court award.

The junior 17A title went to Berri (Bree Walden BOC) in extra time in another thrilling contest 57-55 against Renmark, while Loxton North (Marlee George BOC) won the 15A division with a 43-39 win over Renmark.

Loxton North led the way amongst the clubs with six titles, including three at junior level, as it continues to employ a pol-icy to develop young players for senior ranks.

Renmark also won four titles, Berri three and Barmera and Loxton each won a single premiership.

■ MARK Wilksch received his sixth Golden Whistle award when the Riverland Football League Umpires Association held its annual presentation dinner at the Big River Tavern on Saturday night.

Wilksch represented South Australia when he offi -ciated at this season’s Nation-al Country Championships in Albury Wodonga after be-

ing earlier named Umpire of the Carnival at the SA Cham-pionships at Berri.

The Silver Whistle award went to Todd Charlton for the third time, while Che Lange received the Best Boundary and Jordan Wright the Best Goal Umpire trophies.

Both Lange and Wright were invited to umpire in

SANFL under 18 matches in Adelaide recently.

Also on the night the as-sociation continued its policy of recognising umpires from past years with Ken Carpenter and Graham Frahn receiving life membership.

Also presented with life membership on the night were Mark Wilksch and Todd Charlton.

■ IT WOULD be no surprise to see Kingston-On-Mur-ray’s Darran van der Woude add yet another string to his bow and appear in a fi lm along the line of the thriller “The Birds”.

Only this one would be called “The Trees” after he was spooked by the shad-ows in the pine forests at Millicent last weekend and courtesy of some huge tree stumps had his fi rst attempt at the Production 4WD class in the Pines Off Road En-duro ended suddenly.

Experienced off road man David Schultz summed it up with “it was carnage, particularly amongst the Riverland Waikerie cars”.

Apart from Van der Woude others who were out-ed with mechanical problems of some kind or other were John Schultz, Lindsay Foster and Carl and Aaron Haby.

Aaron Haby, in fact, only ran into problems late in the event when he was engaging in a tremendous tussle for the lead with eventual out-right winners Matt Hanson

and Leigh Wells, who had put a roll over behind them in the Top Ten Shoot Out the previous day.

The best performance amongst the Riverland en-tries came from Geoff and Liz Roe who ended up second in their class and 12th outright

in their Extreme 2WD.Last weekend’s casual-

ties will now see a marked reduction in the number of Riverland-Waikerie cars com-peting in the Sedan Short Course Enduro this weekend with only James Copeland and Toby Francombe expect-ed to take part.

The event will be round fi ve of the SAORRA Multi Club Series with the venue providing a large viewing area from which to watch the action over fast fl owing sections, jumps and twists and turns of the track.

Cars will also come from Mildura, Adelaide Gawler and Port Augusta for the popular event with scrutineering from 10am to noon on Saturday, fol-lowed by racing from 1pm and then cars returning to the track for a 9.30 am start on Sunday.

Off-roaders battered and bruised

The Riverland’s very own Hockeyroo■ TWO young Riverland rid-ers Loxton’s Tyler Lange and Winkie’s Jack Staunton will compete in the Australian Jun-ior Motocross Championships in Coolum, Queensland, at the end of this month.

Tyler will take part in the Junior 250cc class and Jack will compete in the 11-13 years 65cc over nine days of racing.

Tyler recently won the ju-nior title in the Peter Stevens SA Motocross series, while

Jack fi nished high in the state championship placings de-spite missing a round due to injury.

As we have said previously, these young riders and their families are really committed to their sport. It is a matter of ‘have bike will travel’.

Last weekend Jack compet-ed in two meetings with the fi rst being at Tea Tree Gully in Adelaide and the next day he was riding in Mildura.

■ THE TOP two teams from the A grade competitions will contest the Hockey grand fi nals at Glassey Park on Saturday.

Mind you, making it to the pre-miership game of the men’s grade was no walk in the park for minor premier Waikerie as it took until the last 10 minutes of its preliminary fi -nal clash against Renmark for it to fi nally gain control in a high scoring, quality contest and go on to win 7-5.

Rowan Hope was the match win-ner for Waikerie with fi ve goals, while other players who were prominent included Brenton Kroehn and Jason Redemski.

As Renmark fi led away some marked improvement for use in 2013, players in Shaun Crouch, Matt Mallinson and Andrew Coombs were in good form.

Waikerie now rekindles its battle

with defending champion Loxton for the title remembering that in the second semi-fi nal between the two teams, Loxton won 3-1 in something of an upset considering late minor round form.

Loxton will now be looking to Sean Burgess, Karl Hennig, Aaron Ev-ans and Zac and Daniel Schubert to continue the form that gave it direct entry into this week’s game to defeat the star studded Waikerie combina-tion and give it back-to-back titles.

“I think Waikerie this year have had the wood on us a little bit,” Loxton caretaker coach Karl Hennig said.

“It’s going to be a lot closer than you think.”

Hennig said the team is likely to lose three or four players next year, so to win back-to-back titles would mean a lot to the older players.

“We will be looking at rebuilding

next year, so this could be our last real shot for some years,” Hennig said.

In the women’s preliminary fi -nal Renmark looked to be peaking nicely in gaining another shot at rival Loxton for the premiership by defeat-ing Waikerie 3-0.

Tegan Moldovan, Juliet Mallin-son, Jamie Butters and Laura Strout were outstanding in a very even Renmark combination, while as Waikerie fi nished 2012, Zoe Liebich and Kristen Pick completed tremen-dous individual seasons.

Meanwhile, Loxton would have spent some time plotting another premiership victory and with Billie Jo Hammerstein, Steph Baird, Trish Gillard, Louise Smith, Eloise Hampel and Gillian Bartsch on board, it cer-tainly has the team to do so.

But this is another Loxton versus Renmark contest – it will be close.

All on the line in grand fi nals

■ BERRI River Rangers complet-ed the premiership and Top Four Cup double with a resounding 9-1 victory in the cup fi nal at the Steve Poutakidis Sports Field in Renmark on Sunday.

Chris Miller, with two goals, was one of six Ranger players to score in the game, while Marcus Drogemuller was named Best on Field and Adam Vallelonga also ranked high.

For Barmera, Josh Tsorotiotis and Nathan Hamood were its best players on the day.

In the women’s A grade, Renmark also won both titles taking out the Top Four Cup fi nal with a 2-1 victory over Loxton on the back of outstanding perfor-mances from Penny Eleftheriadis and Renee van der Hoek.

Loxton’s best players were Haylee Symens and Amanda Altschwager.

Other Cup winners were Renmark (Eric Sialis, Peter Atha-nasiou) 1-0 over Barmera (Greg Perry, Lockie Morrison) in the B grade, Renmark (Ethan Cinc, Ben Pilgrim) against Berri (D Elefthe-riadis, B Saunders) 3-1 in the un-der 16 competition and in the under 14s, Barmera Number One (S Giahgias, C Oliver) defeated Renmark Number One (E Sialis, K Head) 2-1.

Berri Number Two (Evan Gregoric, Foti Pipinis) also com-pleted a title double by defeating keen rival Barmera Number One (Blake Koskinos, Matt Nobile) 3-1 in the under 12 fi nal.

Many of the players involved in Sunday’s fi nals also featured in last Friday night’s announce-ments at the association’s an-nual presentation function at the Renmark Greek Hall where 300 people attended.

Voting for the prestigious

Steve Poutakidis A grade Best and Fairest medal proved to be extremely close with young Berri player Edmond Grosser grabbing the award with 16 votes, followed by Kyle Collinson (Renmark) and Marcus Drogemuller (Berri) on 15 and Luke Ireland (Barmera) with 14.

There was a tie for the Wom-en’s Best and Fairest award be-tween Elif Sen (Renmark) and Marnie Stewart (Berri), while the B grade trophy went to Barmera’s Jack Schell, under 16s was won by Yianni Tragos (Renmark), under 14s by Adam Drogemuller (Berri) and under 12 best and fairest was won by Evan Gregoric (Berri Number Two).

The highest goal scorers were Chris Miller (Berri) in A grade, Sen in the women’s competition, Ian Van Der Biezen (Barmera) in the B grade, Tragos in under 16s, Mitchell Thomas (Renmark Number One) in under 14s and Gregoric in the under 12s.

Trophies for the Best Goal-keeper in each grade were taken out by Adrian Pipe (Loxton) in the men’s A grade, Haylee Sy-

mens (Loxton) in the women’s, James Bucon (Berri) in the B grade and the under 16 award went to Barmera’s Tom Brooke.

Teams of the Year were also announced as follows:

A GradePipe, Tsorotiotis, Russel Fran-

kel, Daniel Clark, Tyson Schrapel, Marcus Drogemuller, Dale Har-wood, Collinson, Ireland, Geor-die Franks, Miller, with reserves being Mehmet Kavlakoglu, Ko-sta Zois, Grosser, Steve Atkinson, Paul Eleftheriadis with Atkinson named as coach.

Women’s OpenSymens, Angela Pavlomano-

lakos, Tina Makris, Libby Tuhoro, Alissa Knight, Sen, Altschwa-ger, Stewart, Angelina Hambi, Julianna Glykos, Penny Elefthe-riadis, with the reserves Heidi VanDerBiezen, Patty Fournaros-Carney, Ebony Hoffmann and Christina Vithoulkas and coach Phil Frahn.

Berri, in the A Grade men, Renmark in open women and under 16s will travel to Mildura on Sunday for the Top Four Chal-lenge against Sunraysia teams.

River Rangers complete the double with Top Four Cup

■ THE Riverland Superdogs will hold their annual presentation dinner at the Lyrup Club tomor-row night with a lot of inter-est surrounding voting for the 2012 Best and Fairest player Dog Tag Award.

The Superdogs fi nished the Australian Masters season on Sunday with one of their stron-gest teams but one of their most disappointing results for 2012.

Even though the Riverland boys recruited former Port Ad-elaide player Corey Ah-Chee for the game, the team went down 15.14 (104) to 7.8 (50) against a Rosewater side that was simply too fast, skilled, polished and too good for an opponent that left its best form on the bus.

Mind you, that form was not

all that good either as despite perfect conditions Darren Tieste and Rick Frahn failed to break a long standing record.

Tieste may have indeed in-jured himself in that attempt as he joined Paul Arnold, Warren Winship and Peter Aston on a long casualty list.

There are reports that the team was, in fact, segregated on the bus for the trip home af-ter the forwards had malfunc-tioned throughout the match to spoil the good work of the defenders.

Only Ken Karpany, with four goals, Shaun Harris, fi rst gamer Brad Gillespie, Sam Ingerson, Brenton Fenwick, Ah-Chee and Frahn would have gained any late votes for the Dog Tag count.

Another thought on the poor performance by the Dogs was that they wanted to ‘help Rose-water celebrate the opening of its new clubrooms by handing it an easy win’.

But even if that was so, it may not have been appreciated by many from the host club which certainly appears to take this veterans competition very seriously indeed.

But the Superdogs culture is different and they build a lot of fun and enjoyment into their season.

No doubt that will show through again tomorrow night when they aim to upstage the Brownlow Medal presentation with football’s night of nights, their Dog Tag dinner.

Main chances for the presti-gious award would seem to be Karpany, Ingerson, Shane Healy, Frahn and Harris, with the dark horse being Tieste.

But the night will also unfor-tunately have a touch of sadness with president Lance Gum an-nouncing his retirement after a 10-year stint.

Perhaps the Superdogs recent signing Matthew ‘Doc’ Clifford tells it best

“The amount of work the pres has done for the club is unbeliev-able,” Doc said. “I have really en-joyed becoming a Superdog.

“There is of course a lot of fun and laughs but Lance has kept the lid on it so that there is a respon-sible approach to things as well. “His shoes will be hard to fi ll”.

■ LOXTON stalwart Karl Hennig capped off a stellar season by winning the Riverland men’s hockey A grade best and fairest award on Saturday night.

The move from striker to attacking full back was one of the main infl uences for Hennig’s consistency.

Hennig fi nished on 30 votes, two ahead of Waikerie’s Jason Redemski on 28, Loxton young gun Sean Burgess on 21 and Berri’s Tony Halupka on 21.

“I was really surprised, I didn’t expect it,” he said.

“A few of the local boys said I played out of my skin in the last few rounds.

“It’s an honour to win the best and fairest because it’s a high honour for our association.”

Berri’s Tony Herbert won the B grade Best and Fairest with 26 votes, fi nishing ahead of Loxton’s Nathan Fielke on 25, while Helen Fielke was the winner of the B grade Women’s Best and Fairest, edging out Loxton’s Jane Reid by four votes.

For what is believed to be the 10th time, Loxton’s Billie-Jo Hammerstein was awarded the women’s A grade top honour.

Polling votes in almost every match, Hammerstein fi nished on 61 votes, ahead of Renmark’s Danielle Weeks on 35 and Waikerie’s Kristin Pick with 27.

Hammerstein described her team’s season as having its “ups and downs” but said she was very thankful for the best and fairest award.

“It’s still always good to know you are still up there competing against the oth-ers,” she said.

The playing coach will now turn her attention to this weekend’s grand fi nal.

In the junior grades, Renmark’s Aden Shaw (under 18 men), Waikerie’s Ashleigh Baker (under 16 women), Berri’s Dylan Couzner (under 15 men) and Waikerie’s James Smith (under 12 mixed) were all rewarded with best and fairest honours at the Riverland Hockey Association presen-tation in Berri on Saturday night.

On the night, Berri veteran Rae Trimp-er was also recognised for her efforts dur-ing the season.

KARRI’S A HOCKEYROOKARRI’S A HOCKEYROOBy GRAHAM CHARLTON

FORMER Berri junior Karri Mc-Mahon has been chosen in the Hockeyroos squad that will leave for Dublin in Ireland next week to play in the Champion Chal-lenge tournament.

From her base in Western Australia, Kerri told the Riverland Weekly on Monday that she was

excited to be selected. “This competition is a lead up

to next year’s Champions Trophy involving the eight top nations of the world, so it is a chance for me to gain selection for that as well,” she said.

The event in Ireland will in-deed be a real challenge for the Australian team after it fi nished fi fth at the London Olympics.

The host country and tenth ranked South Africa will be amongst countries looking to make the top eight, so a berth in the Champions Trophy tourna-ment in 2014 is not guaranteed.

Karri, 20, started play-ing hockey as a six-year-old in Queensland and after her fam-ily moved to Berri, she played through the ranks at her home

club and gained her fi rst selec-tion for a South Australian hock-ey representative team at 13 years of age.

From there she moved through the South Australian age group teams and on relocating to Adelaide joined the Adelaide Hockey Club.
