THE Renmark Paringa Visitor Infor-mation Centre will remain in its cur-rent location on Murray Avenue fol-lowing a decision not to relocate the riverfront facility.

Renmark Paringa Council instead has decided to install further signage, have more fl exible staffi ng arrange-

ments and an online camera at the visitor information centre to boost numbers to the location.

After considering several submis-sions arguing for and against the relo-cation, council decided not to move the information centre to Eighteenth Street at Tuesday night’s council meeting.

2 • Riverland Weekly – Thursday August 30, 2012

In the Riverland Week-ly on August 23 it was incorrectly stated that the Loxton Waikerie Council will be hold-ing free dumping of domestic and refuse and garden waste in Loxton last Saturday when the correct date

should have been Sunday only.

The Waikerie dump facility offered the free service on Saturday and Sunday but Loxton only of-fered it on Sunday.We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Waste correction Almost 500 people attend Riverland Orchid Society annual eventALMOST 500 people attended the Riverland Orchid Society’s Annu-al Orchid Spectacular at the Berri Town Hall over the weekend.

With nine different genera, there were 300 orchids on display from all over the Riverland.

Organisers said the visit-ing orchid judges were very im-pressed with both the amount and the cultural quality that was presented.

Berri’s Tony Francis won the Grand Champion award, with Reserve Champion going to Trevor and Shirley Mayfi eld, both of Berri.

■ ADMIRE: Cathy Reichstein, of Loxton and Yolanda Kempka, of Winkie admiring the displays.

■ INTERESTED: Cheryl and Garry Von Bertouch, of Berri, at the annual orchid event on the weekend.

■ YELLOW: Berri’s Dawn Glen next to a colourful display during the weekend’s event.

■ SMILES: Rachel and Stephen Files amongst the lovely orchids on the weekend.

AT LEAST two Riverland councils will put funding to-wards the employment of a regional waste co-ordinator to educate the community as kerbside recycling is in-troduced in January, 2013.

Renmark Paringa Council has allocated up to $25,000 for a period of two years to employ the part-time waste coordinator and will partner with the Berri Barmera Council, who will also contribute funds.

It is unknown whether Loxton Waikerie Council will offer fi nancial support towards the position.

Berri Barmera Council Mayor Peter Hunt said hir-ing a waste co-ordinator is important.

“I think it will be very benefi cial because at least that waste co-ordinator can get out there and inform the public, which is the

main thing,” he said.“I’ve been speaking to

a lot of the community and they are not quite sure what can go in each bin and everything else, so that will be one the roles of the co-ordinator.

“There are still a lot of questions that are coming in from the community that needed to be answered and we fi gured that it is best to have a co-ordinator onboard, who knows what they are doing, who can look at our waste scenario and pass that on to the community.

“It would be nice to see the whole region of coun-cils on board but I think at the same time in saying that, the District Council of Loxton Waikerie are prob-ably a little bit further ad-vanced in areas with their recycling preparations.”

Councils to hire waste co-ordinator

Star netballer guest speaker at presentations

THE Renmark Paringa Council has decided to protect the district with a one in 100 year an-nual exceedance prob-ability fl ood event as part of its preferred design standard for up-grading the fl ood levee banks.

“Effectively it is say-ing this is our preferred

design standard which would protect the com-munity for every fl ood event in history ex-cept two being 1956 and 1870,” Renmark Paringa Council chief executive offi cer Tony Siviour said.

“The levee banks are constructed in such a way that in the event

of a larger fl ood event, which is very unlike-ly, then they can be topped up.”

The council is now working on a business case and will eventually work on a funding mod-el, which could be based on similar rehabilitation works recently complet-ed in Wentworth.

Flood protection

THE Riverland Net-ball Association has been able to secure a big name for its 2012 netball presentations at the Loxton Sport-ing Club on Saturday night.

In an exciting an-nouncement for local netballers, Adelaide Thunderbirds star Carla Borrego (pictured) will

be the guest speaker on the night.

Riverland Netball Association’s Wendy Gambling said having Carla at the presenta-tions will be a big boost for fans.

“I think it’s just fantastic for Riverland netball, especially for all of our juniors,” she said.

The presentation is expected to be booked out with around 300 people in attendance.

FOR a number of months there has been passionate debate on whether the Ren-mark Paringa Council should move the local visitor information centre.

At Tuesday night’s council meeting, it was voted that the VIC should stay in its current position on the riverfront.

Do you think this was the correct decision?

Speaking to volunteers on the PS Indus-try, they would be ecstatic to hear the news.

There were real concerns about the future of the paddle steamer if the VIC was relocated.

Many people may argue that we need change but we also need to know what is working and what is not.

The VIC is in a prime location on the River Murray but it needs some work to make it the ideal spot for tourists to stop.

It is out of the way, so further signage is crucial.

The parking is always an issue and that is something that will need some work.

At least a decision has been made and we can close the chapter on that book...for now.

VIC to stay, the right decision?

Thursday August 30, 2012 – Riverland Weekly • 3

THE SOUTH Australian Citrus Industry Development Board (SACIDB) wished new citrus group the South Australia Region-al Advisory Committee (SARAC) all the best during its farewell in Waikere on Tuesday but admits it has lot of challenges ahead.

It was a sad occasion for board members, growers and stakeholders when the SACIDB held its farewell gathering at the Waikerie Hotel, following its fi -nal meeting.

The board is being wound up following the formation of SARAC.

“Generally today we wished them well at our meeting and one of our directors is a member of the new SARAC board,” SACIDB chairman Richard Fewster said.

“They’ve got some huge chal-lenges to look at maintaining the services that growers have become use to for 46 years and there is no way in the world on the funding model they’ve got of $1 per tonne that they can go anywhere near some of those services.”

During SACIDB’s fi nal meet-ing, it was decided that sup-port and assets will be offered to SARAC.

“It was a unanimous decision of the board that we are going to provide an information kit to SARAC on things that are going on and information we have, so

at least it gives them a standing start to make some plans for the future,” Mr Fewster said.

“We’ve also looked at the assets that are sitting there like furniture and photocopiers and printers and we are suggesting to the administrator that they be given over to SARAC to get them on the road.”

As Mr Fewster fi nishes with his position on the board, he said many growers have concerns about the industry’s national body.

“What concerns me the most is Citrus Australia which has been going now for four years and still can really only attract in total numbers of growers, around 10

per cent,” he said.“I ran a business of my own

for 40 years and if we were fac-ing that situation we would sit down and say ‘what’s working and what’s not working’.

“Commercially it just does not make sense.

“It needs to be restructured on a federation model so there is more enrolment and the people in the industry, the 90 per cent or the 85 per cent of growers who have disenfranchised, become part of it.

“We’ve got to have a Cit-rus Australia but the model is wrong.”

Semi-retired Waikerie cit-

rus grower Mike Arnold said there are still many questions to be asked.

“I am (sad) in some ways to see the board go because they had a bit of political clout and we haven’t really got that now,” he said.

“It’s all right to say they are saving levies but whose going to keep the statistics for the indus-try, whose going to do the Ad-elaide Show and whose going to chase fruit fl y or problems in the markets?”

The board will be formally wound up on September 17 with two full time and two part-time jobs lost.

DISGRUNTLED Berri Barmera Council ratepayers are threaten-ing to call a public meeting to voice concerns about the intro-duction of kerbside recycling and the associated fees.

While a number of residents are suggesting they will not pay the extra fees for kerbside col-lection, others want to let their opinions be heard.

The Berri Barmera Ratepayers’ Association has been virtually in-active for some months now but former chairman David Moritz believes it is time for the organi-sation to be reignited.

“We’d like to see it up and running again because I do be-

lieve if you haven’t got anybody that is keeping an eye on coun-cil it all just gets out of hand,” he said.

“People think that the rate-payers association is right onto it

but they are not, there is nobody there looking after it at all.

“There doesn’t seem to be any public consultation at all, espe-cially with the three bin system.

“A lot of people I’ve heard are really against it and almost to the

point of saying they are not go-ing to pay the bin fee.

“They’ve stated that they don’t have enough to put in the bins.”

Berri resident Terry Plumb

said many ratepayers can-not afford the extra fee for bin collection, despite a rebate for pensioners.

“There are plenty of ratepay-ers in my position that don’t re-quire the bins because we recycle

our own stuff,” he said.“If push comes to shove, I

think what we’ve got to do is have a public meeting over this issue.

“I think this would send a very strong message.”

However, Berri Barmera Council Mayor Peter Hunt said the introduction of kerbside rey-cling is unavoidable.

“This is not council, this has come from authorities and we have to abide by EPA guidelines,” he said.

“It is not only our region’s councils, it is councils all over the state and all over Australia doing this.”

THE arrest of two 12-year-old girls in separate incidents this month has prompted the local Neighbourhood Watch to re-mind the public about educating others against crime.

Yesterday, a 12-year-old fe-male was arrested after she attended a house pretend-ing to fundraise where she al-legedly stole a purse with money.

In another incident this month, a 12-year-old female from

Renmark was arrested on August 19 for mark graffi ti after she was allegedly seen by off-duty police putting graffi ti on the front walls of local businesses.

Neighbourhood Watch Riv-erland co-ordinator Lynette Nitschke said it is sad to see young people caught up in crime.

“Unfortunately it usu-ally is young people...but 12 is extremely young,” she said.

“We are just continually pro-

moting for people to look out and not to commit the crimes or if they see someone who does, report it.

“There are so many crimes children get involved with to do with the internet and that sort of thing.

“We’ve been doing a fair bit of awareness type stuff for par-ents about watching for the dan-gers on the internet.”

Mrs Nitschke said it is im-portant to be on the look out for

crime and report it to the police.“If you want a safe town

to live in, it’s up to us to help keep it safe and I think if we let people know we don’t want criminals in town if they are go-ing to behave like that, we want to have decent people living in the town who care for each other and care for our towns,” she said.

“We need to be the eyes and ears for the police because they can’t be everywhere.”

FAMILY FIRST MLC Rob-ert Brokenshire is asking for a please explain from the State Government after it was revealed that funding for pest plant and animal con-trol in the Riverland area has been reduced from $90,000 in 2010/11 to $29,500 in the current fi nancial year.

Mr Brokenshire vis-ited the region last week

where he spoke to local growers and key stakehold-ers about the issue after it was discovered under a Freedom of Informa-tion request to the South Australian Murray Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board.

With the reduction in funding, Mr Broken-shire said rabbit control in the Pike River and Lake Bonney areas may be

diffi cult to control.“I want to challenge

the government to the cut of pest, plant control and pest animal control in the Riverland,” he said.

“That’s pretty concern-ing when there are de-mands on farmers to actu-ally control their weeds and pest animals and you’ve got LAP volunteers working hard and the government basically being hypocritical

and neglecting government owned land.

“There is a much higher risk of an increase in pest weeds and pest animals that is going to make it more diffi cult for general land owners to look after their land.”

Mr Brokenshire said his visit also included discus-sion and meetings on ag-riculture, horticulture and infrastructure.

Explanation needed over pest plant and animal control funding cuts

RIVERLAND man Tony Sharley has taken over the role of direc-tor on the RAA Board after Leon Holmes recently retired following nearly 18 years in the position.

Mr Sharley, who is the prin-cipal consultant of his own business called Flow on Busi-ness, will be required to attend 10 meetings per year, with nine in Adelaide and one in regional South Australia.

Mr Sharley has spent 30 years working in natural re-source management and tour-ism and is passionate about protecting the River Murray.

He is also chief executive of Destination Riverland.

THE Renmark Paringa Tour-ism Association is seeking committee members to secure its future after fail-ing to reach a quorum at its Annual General Meeting last week.

Another meeting is expected to be held in the coming week with

hope of obtaining enough numbers to vote in a committee and a new chairperson.

Michael Schuetze, who is hoping to drum up sup-port for the group, said there was fi ve or six people at the AGM.

“It has been left to

probably fi ve or six to chase around to see if we can form a committee then elect offi cers,” he said.

Mr Schuetze said con-tinuing the Rennmark Paringa Tourism Associa-tion is important at this present time.

“Until everyone is

aware of exactly what is happening (with Des-tination Riverland), itis not a bad thing for it to be there,” he said.

If you are interesting in joining the associa-tion, contact Michael on 0412 733 427.

Tourist association needs members

Historic journey ICONIC Riverland paddle steamer Industry will embark on an historic cruise to Mildura next week for the fi rst time in two decades.

The paddle steamer plans to leave its Renmark dock on Tuesday, alongside heritage vessels PS Marion, from Mannum, and the Oscar W, from Goolwa.

The magnifi cent fl otilla will make its way to Mildura for the PS Mel-bourne’s 100th anniversary celebra-tions on September 9.

Friends of the PS Industry chair-man David Nattrass said Riverlanders are in for a rare sight on the riverfront on Tuesday morning.

“I think it will be a very his-toric moment that hasn’t hap-pened in Renmark for 70, 80 to 100 years,” he said.

“We’re very pleased to be able to go back to Mildura and support the PS Melbourne in its centenary.

“The PV Amphibious will be join-ing us, as will many other vessels along the way.

“It will be a gathering of vessels from Echuca to Goolwa, which is probably the fi rst in 100 years that there has been so many steam pow-ered heritage vessels in the one place at one time.”

The PS Industry is giving locals the opportunity to follow the vessel with day cruises during the trip.

Mr Nattrass said volunteers have been working overtime to prepare the vessel for the journey.

“The volunteers really look forward to an outing of this

length,” he said.“Unfortunately the accom-

modation on the vessel was lim-ited to 15 because of the galley size and the bedding because it is not able to have overnight sleeping paying passengers.

“It was really diffi cult to make the roster to try and accommodate everyone.”

Due to river etiquette, the PS Industry is offering 60 tonnes of wood to the woodfi re ves-sels when they prepare to leave from Renmark.

There will be challenges along the way, according to Mr Nattrass.

“The current will cause us to con-sume a bit more fuel and slow us down a bit,” he said.

On Tuesday, the PS Industry will be cruising to the Wilkadene Brewery and for more information on how to be on board, contact the Renmark Paringa Visitor Information Centre on 1300 661 704.

THE Riverland Wine and Food Festi-val is working with the Adelaide Uni-versity at this year’s event in October to assess the economic impact the at-traction has on the region.

Surveys will be conducted on be-half of the Riverland Wine and Food Festival Committee to gather data from the event to then be analysed at Adelaide University.

Riverland Wine and Food Festi-val acting event manager Sue Whit-bourne said the data can be used for the region’s benefi t.

“It’s a document that is going to actually show what impact the festi-val has on the region,” she said.

“It could be used for future plan-ning, it could be used for future fund-ing opportunities, it could be used for attracting future sponsors and to

those people who currently support and fi nance the event, it underpins where their money is going and what it is doing for the region.”

Mrs Whitbourne said this year’s Riverland Wine and Food Festival will also be marketed differently.

“We are trying some new market-ing strategies this year to really try and boost our families and friends market,” she said.

“We know a lot of people in the Riverland love to come along, what we are going to be asking them to do in the next few weeks is invite their family and friends from outside the region to come up to the Riverland.”

Just days prior to the event, or-ganisers of the festival will use the Adelaide Farmer’s Market to attract visitors to the region.

Up to 2000 people are expected to attend the event, which runs over four days incorporating Nippy’s Chefs of the Murray dinner, Friday WINE Up, Sunday WINE Down and the main event on the Berri riverfront on October 20.

“The expansion of our program is very promising and it just shows that it is well positioned in the market and people want to be involved so it keeps growing,” Mrs Whitebourne said.

“All of the events and festivals have to have something that makes them unique and different.

“What we tried to do with ours is incorporate riverside venues and really celebrate wine, food and the Murray River.”

Tickets for the main riverfront event are already on sale.

THE Renmark to the Bor-der Local Action Planning Association is embark-ing on a new era after it was resolved during Tues-day night’s Renmark Paringa Council meet-ing that the group would

become a committee of council.

Council is now seek-ing expressions of inter-est in being a member of the inaugural committee which will consist of a nominated chair, seven in-

dependent members and one elected member of council.

Renmark Paringa Coun-cil chief executive offi cer Tony Siviour said there will be many benefi ts tothe decision.

“Obviously we wouldn’t have done it without seeing some tan-gible benefi ts for the com-munity in terms of envi-ronmental projects and how they are delivered,” he said.

Renmark LAP becomes council committee

■ From Page 1

Renmark Paringa Council chief executive offi cer Tony Siviour said he felt the correct decision was made.

“There was considerable discussion and there were points for and against and a decision was put forward,” he said.

“There were several mem-bers of the public in the gal-lery last night and there didn’t seem to be a negative reac-tion to the decision that was made.”

Council cited traffi c man-

agement issues, the ideal loca-tion the centre is currently in and the potential to lose con-siderable volunteer numbers as the major reasons it decid-ed to keep the tourism facility at its current location.

A $5000 feasibility study completed earlier in the year stated the move as a key rec-ommendation.

Mr Siviour rejected claims the study was a waste of mon-ey and said instead it helped point out improvements needed in the district.

“The feasibility didn’t just focus on the VIC, it also fo-

cused on tourism promotion and I think the council has got a far better awareness now that it is not just about the VIC and where it is situated, it is also about us using differ-ent methods to basically sell our region,” he said.

Other recommendations passed during Tuesday’s meet-ing included establishing more tourism precincts across the district, publishing of four additional products for tour-ists and supporting four dif-ferent local groups to become online bookable within the next six months.

VIC remains on riverfront

■ STAYING: The Renmark Paringa Visitor Information Centre will remain on Murray Avenue.

■ DELICIOUS: The Riverland Wine and Food Festival is partnering

with Adelaide University this year to develop an economic impact report.


WHEN the idea was put forth to produce a Riverland calendar to raise money towards a bus for St Catherine’s in 2007, those in-volved never knew how popular it would become.

Tomorrow night the sixth Images of the Riverland calendar will be launched, showcasing stunning photographs from a houseboat on the River Murray to a royal spoonbill at Katarapko Island.

The calendar is an initiative of the Li-ons Club of Berri with funds from its sale going towards major projects around the Riverland.

To date the club has donated a 12 seat-er bus, plus ancillary equipment, to the St Catherines Home for the Aged and an ul-trasound unit to the birthing department at the Riverland Regional Hospital.

Last year’s calendar sold out and was posted across the world, according to Lions Club of Berri representative Terry Kearney.

“Going forward, I think we’ll sell more and more calendars and get bigger dollars and if that all comes back into the Riverland for whatever purpose, it would be magnifi -cent,” he said.

Mr Kearney said the calendar has had overwhelming support over the years from photographer Italo Vardaro, printer Bill Vlemmix and a number of businesses that provide sponsorship.

“We’re in a pretty unique situation here and if it wasn’t for the people of the Riverland, it would never have happened,” Mr Kearney said.

The sixth Images of the Riverland calen-dar will be offi cially launched at the Berri Golf Club tavern at 5.30pm tomorrow by local doctor John Dunn.

FIRST YEAR Waikerie High School teacher Sarah Knott could not believe the news when she was this week told she had been acknowledged on a regional level as part of the 2012 Public Teacher Awards.

Miss Knott was recognised as the winner of the Mur-ray and Mallee Inspirational Early Career Teacher but was not alone with Waikerie High School School Services Offi cer Laurena Grieger also a category award winner.

Mrs Grieger was named the

Murray and Mallee winner in the Excellent School Support Staff Member category.

The pair were part of 69 regional fi nalists from a list of 1700 nominations across South Australia for the public teaching awards.

Being her fi rst year in teach-ing, Miss Knott said the award win will benefi t her in the future.

It was also fi tting that she received the news on Monday from her mother, who is also a teacher.

“I was so excited when mum

called up in the morning and said you’ve won the award,” she said.

“I’m just so happy that some-one has taken an interest in how I teach.

“I really make sure in my classroom that I have a really good relationship with my kids, I fi nd that’s key in teaching.

“I think this (win) will completely boost my opportunities.”

Mrs Grieger, who describes herself as a lab technician, has been working at Waikerie High School for almost a de-

cade and said she is thrilled to be acknowledged.

The former Waikerie High School student said she was very surprised and shocked to be recognised for her efforts at such a high level.

“I really think this award is for all of us, not just me person-ally,” she said.

The pair will now be in the running as state fi nalists in their categories, with the an-nouncement of the winners on World Teacher’s Day on October 5.

MEMBER for Chaffey Tim Whetstone has called on the State Government to investi-gate the possibility of a per-manent quarantine station at Blanchetown.

The call comes after Riverland and South Austra-lia face the prospect of being the only part of mainland Australia where fruit fl y is not endemic following the aban-donment of fruit fl y eradica-tion efforts in New South Wales and Victoria.

The Opposition has called on the State Government to guarantee it will eradicate any future fruit fl y outbreaks in the Riverland.

Shadow Minister for Ag-riculture, Food and Fisheries Adrian Pederick said food

producers needed a fi rm com-mitment on biosecurity.

“We have a government which seems very keen to in-fl ict biosecurity fees on farm-ers, yet where is the Weatherill Labor Government’s commit-ment to biosecurity in this state?” Mr Pederick said.

“Minister Gago needs to have strict management controls in place in order to protect the $1 billion gener-ated in SA by fruit and other crops that could be decimat-ed by the real threat of a fruit fl y outbreak.”

Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said the Riverland could soon fi nd itself under siege from fruit fl y.

“We’ve already seen the NSW government put up the

white fl ag on fruit fl y outbreaks in q u a r a n t i n e areas, and now we hear the Victorian government is reducing its e radicat ion efforts due to a lack of funding,” Mr W h e t s t o n e said.

“ T h i s substantially increases the risk to the R i v e r l a n d and South Australia.

“Minister Gago must make an iron-clad commit-ment to food producers in the Riverland that her gov-

ernment won’t allow this to happen here should the region experience a series of outbreaks like those which occurred in NSW and Victo-ria in 2010-11.

“The Riverland’s fruit fl y free status has suddenly be-come a great deal more valu-able and must be maintained at all costs.

“In addition to main-taining the permanent quar-antine station at Yamba 24 hours a day, Labor must ramp up community aware-ness efforts and increase random roadblocks.

“The government must also investigate long-term strategies like large-scale sterile insect programs and the possibility of a perma-nent quarantine station at Blanchetown.

“Above all, if Labor is se-rious about its commitment that South Australia’s food industry will contribute $20 billion to the state’s economy by 2020, it has to re-invest in primary industries and bios-ecurity funding, and cease its efforts to recover these costs from struggling farmers.

“Effective biosecurity benefi ts every South Austra-lian, not just farmers.”

MOZART’S DON GIOVANNI

LIVE at the Chaffey Theatre, SEPTEMBER 4, at 7.30pm


NEW signage at cemeteries in Renmark, Paringa and Lyrup was offi cially opened last week.

Funded by an Anzac Day Commemoration Council grant, the project involved a number of local people and organisations helping to identify buried war veterans and provide a map of each cemetery.

Renmark Paringa Coun-cil Mayor Neil Martinson is encouraging people to visit the cemeteries and see the results.

“It just gives an oppor-tunity for people to come out to the cemetery, they can look at the names that are on the cemetery itself and they can also see the returned service people that have deceased and that is recognised with a little pop-py alongside the respective names,” he said.

“It’s something that we want the community to come out and check if there are poppies that have been missing on people’s names and we want them to con-tact the offi ce so we can up-date that.”

Renmark RSL Club member and historian Da-vid Coombs was involved in the project and said there is still lots of work to do in a bid to iden-tify the 4600 estimated war veterans buried in the

district’s cemeteries.“There are so many un-

marked graves and I think the fact there is a map with the grave number and the section number just makes it so much easier to fi nd graves,” he said.

The project was ini-tially instigated through two Renmark Girl Guides, who sought to identify lost war veterans.

“They fi rst found 100 names and the project has just grown from there,” Renmark Girl Guides unit leader Bronwyn McDonald said.

“The girls were doing it as part of their Queen’s

Guides and we thought that was as far as it would go.

“They’re very proud that they’ve made their mark on their town forever.”

LOXTON will take a step back in time on Saturday when it hosts an agricultural machinery parade as part of Australian Year of the Farmer celebrations.

Showcasing the life of the Riverland and Mallee’s early settlers, a parade of agricultural machinery, trac-tors, equipment and ve-hicles will travel through the main street of Loxton from 10am.

In the evening, a Farmer’s Family Dinner and Concert at the Loxton Peace Hall serving a menu of Riverland produce is expected to be a highlight.

Of the major drawcards for the parade is the world’s fi rst machine grape harvester sourced from Mildura, a Lanz Bulldog tractor, sunshine stripper harvester and a 1912

Dennis truck.Event co-ordinator Pe-

ter Magarey believes the event will be a fi rst for South Australia.

“I don’t think there has been a similar event ever held in our knowledge of the his-tory with broadacre and hor-ticulture together presenting each of the aspects,” he said.

“I think this is prob-ably near unique to the re-gion and probably to rural South Australia.

“So it is a wonderful priv-ilege we have got in Loxton to be able to host an event like this with some very sig-nifi cant machinery in it.

“We thought let’s not just have trucks and tractors, let’s have agricultural ma-chinery, so it is a progression through time.”

South Australian Premier

Jay Weatherill will open the parade, which will travel up and down East Terrace in Loxton before forming a stat-ic display until 2pm.

The parade will be fol-lowed by the dinner and concert, where a dessert bak-ing competition will also take place.

Other highlights of the day will be the opportunity to steam on the PS Marion, a chance to look around the Loxton Historical Village and the offi cial opening of the Loxton Centenary Feature at 12pm.

The event is hosted by the Loxton Old Machinery Group and the Loxton Mardi Gras Committee in conjunc-tion with the Loxton His-torical Village, with proceeds going to the Loxton Mardi Gras Committee.

RIVERLAND businesses are being offered an opportu-nity to upgrade their energy requirements with grants under the Australian Gov-ernment’s Clean Energy Fu-ture plan.

Solar energy expert Newman Mundy, principal of Newman Mundy Electri-cal, said the $200 million merit-based grants program supports Australian food and foundry manufactur-ers to allow them to main-tain their competitiveness in what has been described as a “carbon constrained economy”.

Mr Mundy said grants are provided for businesses which invest in energy-effi cient capital investment equipment and low pollu-tion technologies such as solar energy.

“This is the opportunity of a lifetime for local busi-ness,” Mr Mundy said.

Mr Mundy, a master electrician and experienced solar energy installer, is now undertaking work in the Riverland.

“There are endless op-portunities for the instal-lation of solar systems on factories and commercial

buildings,” he said.“With many busi-

nesses facing pain coping with soaring energy costs, this government grant is literally heaven sent for those wanting to switch to solar.”

Mr Mundy said that apart from his unique, quick-fi x Il-iofi x system for commercial properties, there are a num-ber of possibilities for solar installations from ground to pole mounts.”

For more information or to book solar installation, contact Newman Mundy to-day on 0433 349 433.

THE RIVERLAND Catholic Primary Schools’ Cardboard Box Sleep Out will take place tomorrow.

Students from Our Lady of the River, Berri, St. Joseph’s Renmark, St. Albert’s Loxton and St. Joseph’s Barmera are invovled in the initiative.

The year seven Mini Vin-nies will be sleeping in a cardboard box in Our Lady of the River School Hall.

The Mini Vinnies is a program of the St Vincent de

Paul Society involving upper primary school children who look at social justice issues, discuss ways that they can help to make a difference in the lives of people who are less fortunate and then try and implement their ideas.

The evening commences at 6pm with the children making a bed from card-board, which has been do-nated by Visyboard.

Father Steve Ardill will then undertake a short litur-

gy before the children have a sausage/hamburger sizzle.

At 7.30pm Brett Blackwell from the Salvation Army will talk to the students about his role supporting homeless people in the Riverland.

This will be followed by the students watching a mov-ie about homelessness before retiring for the night to sleep in their cardboard bed.

All the money raised will go to the St. Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.

Glossop High School students take part in community art projectA PROJECT enabling more than 60 Glossop High School students to be creative for community driven public art spaces as part of Citizen-ship Week is taking place until tomorrow.

As part of the project the public is being encouraged to re-use, recycle and up-cycle items to give them a new lease on life and minimise the im-

pact on the environment. The space being used for

the community arts project is located in The Riverland Complex.

Local visual artist Su-zanne McPherson is leading the community develop-ment of a shared space in the complex as an opportunity for people to dream, inspire and create a space where art

and creativity thrives and provides an outlet and liveli-hood for locals.

Through an exciting hands on week of workshops which began on Tuesday, Glossop High School students are learning new skills, profi ling their strengths and develop-ing their sense of community pride and responsibility with a paint brush in hand.

RONCO MOTORS AND NEW HOLLAND MILESTONEFEATURE

FOR half a century Pinnaroo based Ronco Motors has been associated with machinery

franchise New Holland.Celebrating the milestone, the

Mallee family business is proud of the long running partnership, which came to fruition thanks to Ronco Motors co-founder Bert Bailey.

Ronco Motors commenced op-erations as a family business from its current premises on Railway Ter-race South.

It was founder and mechanic Bert who recognised the potential for the business in the Mallee and established an operation to service farming equipment from the area.

With the business quickly gain-ing a reputation for top customer service and good quality workman-ship, Bert was successful in gain-ing the New Holland Franchise in 1962.

Through the franchise, Ronco Motors began selling the New Hol-land range, as well as used agricul-tural equipment.

In 1964, Bert’s son Rod Bailey became involved with servicing the machinery and progressively found himself working in all aspects of the business.

Bert retired in 1973 and Rod and Colleen Bailey took over the running of Ronco Motors with the operation steadily growing into a well regarded operation in the Mallee.

Roydn Bailey joined the busi-ness as a mechanic in 1986 and like his father Rod, started to work in every area, eventually taking over as dealer principal in 2005 with his wife Louise.

Upon reaching the milestone,

Roydn said the business would like to thank valued customers for the support over the years.

“We are very proud of getting to this point and we need to recognise the local farmers who have contin-ually supported our business,” he said.

Roydn said there has been sig-nifi cant changes to the industry and how Ronco Motors has grown and expanded to meet demand.

“The premises have changed a lot,” he said.

“We’ve seen the business go from mainly livestock and cereal to the addition of horticulture and other farming methods.”

Through the New Holland franchise the Pinnaroo busi-ness began selling hay machinery and later introduced harvesters and tractors.

Ronco Motors is a major em-ployer in Pinnaroo and Roydn said the business supports the town and the Mallee.

“We are one of the last fully owned and locally run businesses,” he said.

While Rod, who has retired, still spends plenty of time at Ron-co Motors, Roydn’s son Lachlan, who is currently doing a school based apprenticeship as a diesel mechanic, will start full time later in the year.

“We are hoping he will contin-ue on in our footsteps as the fourth generation at Ronco Motors,” Roydn said.

Ronco Motors celebrated the 50 year partnership with New Hol-land by hosting a gathering of 150 people, including clients and com-pany representatives, at the busi-ness last week.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY



FATHER’S DAYFEATURE

WITH 11.4 million Austral-ians visiting Facebook in a month, social media con-tinues to dominate the way we communicate.

However new research from Optus has revealed getting closer to dad takes more than sending a tweet or Facebook message this Father’s Day.

Over half of dads in regional South Australia (57 per cent) don’t believe a social media message is suffi cient and would expect something more, with eight out of 10 (79 per cent) ad-mitting they would prefer a text message to a Facebook message.

Interestingly, 77 per cent of social media ob-sessed Australians in re-gional SA agree that posting

a message on a social me-dia network isn’t enough to truly wish dad a happy Father’s Day.

While fi nding the per-fect Father’s Day gift is of-ten a challenge, of those surveyed, a staggering 76 per cent of Australian dads in regional SA just want one simple present - a

phone call from their son or daughter.

Encouragingly, it ap-pears most Aussie dads won’t be left disappointed come Father’s Day on Sun-day, as more than half (54 per cent) of Australian sons and daughters in regional SA also feel that they sim-ply need to pick up the

phone and call dad on Fa-ther’s Day.

Whether by phone or face to face, a quick hello will go a long way on Fa-ther’s Day.

Father’s expect more than Facebook

■ MORE: Fifty seven per cent of dads in regional SA don’t

believe a social media message is suffi cient on Father’s Day.

Olivewood’s Father’s Day fairRENMARK based Olivewood will be hold-ing an important fundraiser when it hosts a country fair on Father’s Day this Sunday.

The event will feature a huge collec-tion of displays from rabbit traps to cam-eras and agricultural implements from the past and a large number of artisans showing their skills.

The day will see over a hundred classic and vintage vehicles lined up along the av-enue of palms, as well as a large display of motorbikes, tractors and stationary engines.

Olivewood’s new shed, or as it is known the Charles Chaffey Centre, will house numerous theme displays showing past heritage.

It will be the very fi rst time Olive-wood’s printing display will enable visi-tors to view a working printing press and a very old map of Renmark will be printed.

Of special interest will be a display of clocks with a repairer on site.

It will also be the fi rst time the fi re bri-gade display may be seen.

Entertainment on the day will in-clude the Riverland Brass Band and nu-merous other musicians and vocal items and dancers.

Those in attendance can take advan-tage of a wide variety of food and drink stalls including real bush tucker (rabbit and kangaroo tail stew and damper) pre-pared by well known gourmet bush cook, Paul Hansen.

For the children there will be a large display of unusual animals including a crocodile.

The fair begins at 10am and fi nishes at 4pm.

Olivewood caretaker Brian Lock said it is a unique day.

“It’s a bit of a father’s theme because we’ve got collections of tractors and sta-tionary engines,” he said.

IT IS more than likely that you will fi nd Loveday father and son pair Tony and Toby Whateley

working under the bonnet of a vehicle this Father’s Day.

The motoring enthusiasts have just returned from a nation-al 4x4 show in Melbourne where they performed various stunts.

Tony, who owns Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park, describes 14-year-old Toby as a “mini me”.

“We’re both like minded,” he said.

“We’re building the park to-gether now, although he still at school but he’s still a huge part of it.”

From a young age on the farm, Tony said Toby became in-volved in vehicles and like him, has grown a passion for it.

“At the age of four or fi ve years old he was driving around on the farm and doing all those sorts of things,” Tony said.

“As we got going with the park, he was in there getting in-volved and being part of it.

“We’re always looking to take something to the next level and Toby’s got that natural en-gineering skill where he can look at something and work out how it works.”

Tony and Toby has been per-forming challenging stunts at 4x4 shows across Australia and also at home in the Riverland and Tony said he is more thanproud of his son.

“We had 40,000 people through the weekend in Mel-bourne and people were amazed with the things he was doing,” Tony said.

“It’s good to be able to travel

with Toby and be proud of what he does and be involved.

“Over here (in Melbourne) he just shone out with everything he did, he was so professional.

“He’s got big named busi-

nessmen coming up and talking to him.

“It almost brings a tear to your eye, talking to the bosses of big companies that are saying how good a job he’s doing.”

Like father, like son ■ TRICKY: Father and son Tony and Toby Whateley having fun at the Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park.

Ensuring appliances are safeWHEN it comes to ensur-ing your electrical appli-ances are safe and com-pliant, Electrical Test and Tag’s Paul Wilton is just a phone call away.

Not only can Paul pro-vide a test and tag service on portable electrical ap-pliances, both double and single insulated, exten-sion leads and portable Residual Current Devices but he offers peace of mind that the electrical aspects of your workplace offer protection from any potential shock.

All testing is conduct-ed to Australian and New Zealand standards.

“The most important thing is to ensure everyone is safe.”

Travelling to your door across the Riverland and Mallee, Paul can provide a visual inspection of ap-pliances in your business to identify any potential problems before using a portable device to test the appliance.

By passing the appli-ance test, the electrical item is provided with a tag to show it has been approved but if it does not pass the test and tag service, it will then be dis-cussed as to whether the appliance requires repair-ing or whether it needs to be discarded.

“At the end of the testing, the client will be provided with a logbook showing the items tested and when they need to be retested,” Paul said.

“I can offer quotes per hour, per item or even per day so it suits the client.”

Whether you have a large or small business, Paul offers top customer service and is prompt and effi cient to ensure electri-

cal appliances in the work-place are safe.

To book for testing and tagging or for more infor-mation, contact Paul on 0427 024 008.

By mentioning this services editorial in the Riverland Weekly, Electrical Test and Tag is offering the service of the fi rst fi ve items for free

■ TEST: Electrical Test and Tag’s Paul Wilton can ensure

your workplace meets safety regulations.

CELEBRATING the Aus-tralian Year of the Farmer, a roadshow will be visit-ing this year’s Riverland Field Days on September 19 and 20.

The Australian Year of the Farmer Roadshow, com-prising of nine custom built vehicles and trailers has been and is attending more than 300 events throughout Aus-tralia this year, including agricultural shows and fi eld days, industry events, food and wine festivals, rodeos, sporting events, music and cultural festivals.

At the Riverland Field Days there will be a display featuring interactive materi-als aimed at educating Aus-tralians of all ages.

The painting pen will be a large attraction specifi cally to

interact with children. They will be able to

buy a cow money-box and paint it at the roadshow site, whilst learning about the farming and agricul-tural industry through other educational materials.

Australian Year of the Farmer is a not-for-profi t organisation that is hon-oured to have the patronage of the Governor-General, Her Excellency, Quentin Bryce AC, and the support of gov-ernment, ambassadors and funding partners.

The Australian Year of the Farmer has a strong focus on education and is building understanding between cities and rural communities.

It urges young Austra-lians to look to agriculture, agribusiness and related

industries for their careers and, most importantly, it encourages Australian con-sumers to seek out and select Australian produce in stores and markets.

Be sure to drop in to the Australian Year of the Farmer Roadshow at the Riverland Field Days.

For more information, visit www.yearofthefarmer.com.au

Meanwhile, in conjunc-tion with the Year of the Farmer, a special extend-ed vintage display of ma-chinery dating back to the early parts of the last cen-tury will be exhibited at the Field Days.

Both static and working displays including a range of machinery and tractors will be on show.

■ VISITING: The Australian Year of the Farmer Roadshow will be at the

Riverland Field Days this year.

Paringa v Ramco

MINOR premier Paringa would not have expected to be playing in a do or die match to make the grand fi nal.

After losing to BSR in the semi-fi nal, Paringa will now have to dig a little deeper against a tough opponent at East Murray.

Ramco breezed through to the preliminary fi nal af-ter easily accounting for Cobdogla by 71 points.

The two teams match-up pretty closely and both coaches are keeping their game plans close to their chests.

Ramco’s midfi eld has been dominant throughout the season, led by ruckman Jamie O’Callaghan.

He may be up against Nathan Rover, who was impressive in ruck on the weekend.

On the ground, Bryce Matthews, Marcus Mcgrath and Daniel Donelly have had fi rst hands on the football.

For Paringa, Tristan Jackson has been tagged in recent weeks and it will be

interesting to see if Ramco again puts a shut down role on the quick wingman.

Andrew Lloyd is a consis-tent performer and his abil-ity to read the ball may make a match-up with Matthews very intriguing.

Max Baddack is a huge problem for the Swans, as he is so versatile.

While Jono Wood has been playing further up the ground, his leg speed may be an option to run with Badd-ack, otherwise Roy Grenfell may be the go-to defender.

At the other end, Dean Hill will make the Roosters pay if he is given any space.

After notching up 200 games on the weekend, Kym Thiel is a candidate for the role on Hill.

The move to drop Chris Gardner deep into the forward line has paid off and he will need to be closely watched, while op-portunist Mark McDonald should get the attention of John Clohesy.

While this match could easily be a shoot-out given the forwards of both teams, we feel this we be a scrap-py affair with Paringa and Ramco playing a spare man in defence.

The Swans and Roosters have everything on the line.

We are tipping Paringa to be victors in a close match.

Karoonda v Lameroo

AFTER being convincingly beaten by BDT in the fi nal minor round and the sec-ond semi-fi nal, Karoonda’s confi dence would have cer-tainly been dented.

Lameroo will have fresh legs given it has had the week off and that may be an advantage.

On top of the week off, the Hawks possibly put up their best perfor-mance of the season to beat Murrayville in the fi rst semi-fi nal.

Karoonda will be hop-ing Josh Rudiger and Luke Hocking will return this

round to add some much needed fi repower.

The midfi eld gets a men-tion just about every week but it is all on the line in this fi nal with the winner going on to meet BDT in the grand fi nal.

Mark Corrie, Corey Knight, Zakk Bullard and Ben Quinn will need to be at the top of their games.

Shaun Walker, Andrew Purchase and Hayden Thor-pe will be in the midfi eld for Lameroo.

The likes of Ricky Hunt-er, Vaughan Noonan and Dan Wohling are all capable goalkickers for the Hawks but they will have to shake off a resolute defence of Andrew Smithson, Daniel

Thiele, Jarred Graetz, Bro-die Chinner, Eli Koch and Josh Rosenzweig.

Kym Benham will be an advantage in the ruck for Lameroo, while Karoonda’s defence is also strong led by Brad Zerk, David Phil-bey, Billy McNeilly and Matt Ridgway.

The Magpies have really struggled to fi nd a strong marking target with their leading goal kickers being Knight on 42 and injured Hocking on 35.

On the other hand, Lameroo is dangerous with Shane Agelis on 55 goals.

Karoonda is hurting but will put in a spirited perfor-mance to beat Lameroo in a close one.

■ Paringa’s Tristan Jackson and Ramco’s Bryce Mat-thews will be key players.

SECOND SEMI-FINAL

Berri v Loxton North (Sun)

THE DUTHIE MEDAL


FIRST SEMI-FINAL

Barmera-Monash v Waikerie

THE top two teams meet once again but this time there is a lot more to play for.

Whichever team claims victory on Saturday will gain a week off and a spot in the 2012 grand fi nal.

Pressure is mount-ing on both teams with Barmera-Monash without a premiership for the past 23 years, while Waikerie will be hoping to make up for last season’s grand fi nal loss.

The Roos fi nished mi-nor premier but that will mean little going into this contest at Berri.

Both coaches have out-lined the importance of a win.

Roos’ coach Lyndon Burns said his team is hun-gry for a premiership.

“I can’t remember win-ning the minor premier-ship and going straight into the grand fi nal,” he said.

“23 years is a long time

without a premiership.“Everyone wants to

stand up and put this club back on the map.

“I just want these boys to have a taste of it.”

Waikerie co-coach Craig Griffi ths said the semi-fi nal build-up has the players excited.

“We’ve been looking forward to this one for quite a while,” he said.

“You never get a grand fi nal back but we are hop-ing we have learnt a bit more since last year.

“Our goal was to make the top two and in Riverland footy, it’s so much easier being in that position.”

Barmera-Monash will include Mal Greenwood, Murray Middleton and Luke Chamberlain back into this week’s team, while Jake Schwertferger is doubtful with a hamstring injury.

For Waikerie, Craig Miller will return, while the club is hopeful Andrew Bachmann will play.

The midfi eld contest could be the deciding fac-tor in this match.

The likes of Dillon Mil-lard, Ryan Burns and Sam

Elliott will take on Tim Be-van, Damian Stevens and Michael Bratton.

Stevens and Greenwood may even run side by side.

With Chamberlain back, Tyler Baldock should return to centre half for-ward and Steven Braun has that role on the elusive for-ward.

Michael Smart has been in outstanding form but will be challenged by young Joseph Haines.

Burns said he has been pleased with Marc Elliott’s fi nish to the season.

“He is back to his best form, he’s more dan-gerous around goals,” Burns said.

Ben Venning could also be a problem for the Roos and Aaron Manning is ca-pable of putting the brakes on the big man’s scoring.

There is lots of respect between these two teams but the passion for the club will be number one in this fi nal.

The Magpies were the only team to beat the Roos in the minor round but the Roos should be too strong in an entertaining contest.

Berri v Loxton North

IT was unlikely that Loxton North would still be in the hunt for back-to-back fl ags after needing to beat Waikerie in the fi nal minor round.

Against the odds, the Pan-thers played arguably their best match for the season, turning a half time defi cit into a match winning lead.

Up against Berri, the Pan-thers will be confi dent given that they have beaten the De-mons this season.

However, Berri has been in good form with the return of several key players.

Again, both teams match up very similar for this con-test at Barmera Oval.

Loxton North will be without Ryan Gray, who sus-tained an injury late in the match against Waikerie.

Berri’s injury list long but players such as Nathan Geyer, who has missed a number of games this season, are back to their best.

The gamebreakers will be David Hankin for Berri and Ryan Proud for Loxton North after both booted high goal tallies last round.

Hankin may be matched by Josh Voigt, while Ryan Proud will start in the mid-fi eld and may move closer to goal dependent on the Pan-ther’s success up forward.

Ryan Porter and Lachie Jennings are too other smart forwards Loxton North will need to be aware of.

The Panther midfi eld has been underrated this season with Michael Scott, Jamie Ferguson and Ryan Proud to line-up on Adam Beau-champ, Peter Safralidis and Clint Ridgway.

Loxton North coach Craig Wooldridge said the club’s offi cials, players and support-ers are looking forward to the challenge this weekend.

“There is a bit of excite-ment around that we have made the fi nals,” he said.

“We’ve beaten them on their home turf but they’ve beaten us twice as well.”

The return of Dan Proud last match, although no-where near full fi tness, has boosted the confi dence of the team.

“Just having him out there makes the boys walk taller,” Wooldridge said.

“Having an extra day’s break because we are playing on Sunday wil do him the

world of good.“He’s done a fair bit of

work to get back.”Loxton North is capable

of beating Berri but it will need to be at its best.

However, we think the Demons will be too strong and book themselves a spot in the all important preliminary fi nal.

■ CRUCIAL: Berri midfi elder Adam Beauchamp will be a key

player against Loxton North.

THE RIVERLAND Inde-pendent football com-petition best and fairest will be crowned with the Howard Duthie Medal on Monday night.

Throughout the season there has been a number of stand-out players.

However, favourite to win the medal is Blanch-etown/Swan Reach mid-fi elder Troy Cowland (pictured) who not only booted 51 goals but racked up numerous possessions.

The only way Cowland will not poll as well as predicted is if fellow mid-fi elder and previous Duth-ie Medalist Dale Payne at-tracted more votes.

Other players that will be around the mark include Ramco ruck-man Jamie O’Callaghan,

East Murray ball magnet Chris Rudiger and po-tentially Cobodogla’s Anthony Thompson.

Darkhorses include Lyrup’s Ken Karpany, who may be let down by his team’s win/loss record, Paringa’s Tristan Jack-son and Brown’s Well’s Geordie Franks.

Duthie Medal odds:Troy Cowland (BSR) $1.25

Jamie O’Callaghan (Ramco) $2

Chris Rudiger (East Murray) $2

Dale Payne (BSR) $2.50

Anthony Thompson(Cobdogla) $3

Jeremy Jaeger (Ramco) $30

Tom Frahn (Paringa) $30

Tom Smith (Lyrup) $50

Graeme Dyer (Cobdogla) $80

Dan Evans (Wunkar) $101

THE FINAL minor round decided fourth position on the ladder in B grade football with Berri de-feating Loxton to claim a fi nals berth.

Despite just one more loss than Berri and on equal wins with Loxton North, Loxton fi nished wooden spooners.

In the second semi-fi nal at Berri on Satur-day, Waikerie will take on Barmera-Monash in an important game for the Roos.

Without a loss so far this season, Waikerie has been more than domi-nant and should win this contest and go straight into the grand fi nal.

It is up to Barmera-Monash to show it can keep up with

the reigning premier.It is all class for

Waikerie with Steve Leibich, Shayne Stevens and Joel Fladrich all playing well.

Steve Hefford and Michael Beelitz will be hard to contain around goals.

For the Roos, ever re-liable Dave Whitbourne continues to lead his team, while Callum Buchecker has shown promising signs.

The fi rst semi-fi nal at Barmera on Sunday should see Renmark defeat Berri.

The Rovers through Dale Lellmann, Aaron Gill and Paul Burne are in good touch, while Berri will need Sam Atkins and Rory Corell fi ring.

■ THE RIVERLAND Speedway Club had its best season for a decade or so in 2011/12 both on the track and fi nancially but a settled administra-tion is looking to the approaching summer with an attitude of not rest-ing on its laurels.

In 2011/12, car entries were up across the classes and so provided excellent entertainment for increas-ing numbers of spectators, mem-bership grew with people joining from as far away as Adelaide and as a result, the club received an overall welcome fi nancial boost after some unexpected costs had been incurred.

The holding of a round of the inaugural Sidecar Spectacular at the track proved invaluable and it is great news that the event will return this coming season.

Greg Haynes continues to head a committee that remains stable in composition, except that Sheryl Menz is the new secretary and Barry Sullivan steps aside and is replaced by Ron Balshaw as vice president.

Haynes is also quick to acknowl-edge the support of a number of people and organisations that have played a big part in turning the for-tunes of the club around.

These include volunteers, his committee, emergency crews, the local media, sponsors and

local businesses.A big focus in recent times has

been on improving facilities at the Calperum Hill complex for everyone involved from drivers to patrons.

So far we have seen an improved commentary system with new speak-ers still to be added prior to 2012/13, a new clubroom canteen is nearing completion including a rangehood, oven/griddle cooker and a new wa-ter truck and tank will be ready for the approaching season.

Also ground work is in readiness for a concrete slab to hold a new dis-abled toilet.

Meanwhile, canteens operated by the Junior Motor Cycle and Kart Clubs have continued to be up-graded in accordance with council directives, while two Speedway com-mittee members have supervised successful outcomes of assistance in a lot of the work via the Madec Work for the Dole program.

Greg Haynes sums it up by say-ing “the Riverland Speedway has had a great season and improvements, new developments and projects con-tinue to be the main focus”.

“We have seen an increase in racing events, spectators and mem-bership, so even in these uncertain times the club is looking at a posi-tive future.”

■ IF PROOF was ever needed that fi nals are a different game, it was certainly confi rmed by last Friday night’s A1 netball second semi-fi nal.

Loxton went within a bee’s whisker of upsetting defending champion and 2012 minor premier Renmark after it had not got within a bull’s roar of it’s traditional rival during this season’s minor round matches.

To it’s credit though, Renmark won in a nailbiter, 39-38, and with direct entry into the grand fi nal, it now has the inside running for back-to-back titles.

Friday night’s clash was not all that pretty but even the purists would have enjoyed the intense pressure that both sides exerted on opponents right across the court.

There were some classical in-dividual clashes, Kerri Turk ver-sus Eve Will and Denika Gartery against Jackie Dahlitz, while for Renmark in-form goal shooter Ani-ta Modlinski played a big part in her side’s victory.

Renmark led by three goals at quarter time, one at the half time break and scores were level at the last change before the combat-ants slugged it out goal for goal in the fi nal term.

As far as Loxton was concerned,

this was the team we have often seen at fi nals time, so it was no surprise that the names Will, Dahlitz, Hollie Bullock and Leah Uren appeared in the player rankings.

But they lost and now have much work to do to win Friday night’s preliminary fi nal against an impressive Berri to gain another crack at Renmark for the title.

Berri won the knockout fi rst semi-fi nal against Barmera 63-46 in a clash that had more polish and high scoring than the second-semi pressure cooker.

Berri dominated the fi rst half

in particular, with defenders Tori Brown and Kara Henry defi ant, Tay-lee Howard really on goal shoot-ing target and Ellee Eleftheriadis and Carolyn Martin and Kimberley Wade brilliant in the midfi eld.

Thereafter Barmera, with Mackella Armfi eld and Cobie Drogemuller showing the way, ac-tually outscored Berri by four goals but a huge defi cit at half time left far too much to do.

By being the only team to beat Renmark in 2012, Berri has shown that its best is good enough.

Friday night’s A2 matches

made it an amazing night of fi nals action.

Loxton (Lauren Benson, Mel Loxton) ended the season for Waikerie (Ash Porter, Carlyn Pear-son) 42-40 in the fi rst semi-fi nal and in the second semi-fi nal Loxton North (Lisa Koehne, Karina Tschirp-ig) made it to the premiership game by winning 49-48 over Renmark (Kylie Wilksch, Kelly Nelson).

Renmark meets Loxton on preliminary fi nal night on Fri-day at the Loxton stadium in the A2 competition.

For the netball fraternity it will be back to Loxton on Saturday night for the annual presentation func-tion at the Loxton Sporting Club.

As usual, fi nding a likely win-ner of the Best and Fairest Award is a real task as the umpires who give the votes and club offi cials who is-sue names each week often seem to have been at different games.

Repeatedly, we have ignored Renmark players because of the depth of talent only for Leanne Menz to prove us wrong but the champion defender has not been there in 2012.

Kerri Turk, Denika Gartery and Menz’s replacement Hannah Foody have been there though and have had consistent seasons.

For Loxton, the experienced

Jackie Dahlitz has seldom missed the best player lists and Hollie Bullock and Alysha Proud have fea-tured regularly, while amongst the talent at Berri Ellee Eleftheriadis, Nicole Hall and Taylee Howard have been prominent.

For the rebuilding clubs Barmera and Loxton North, we have regu-larly seen Cobie Drogemuller, Katie Saville and Sheri Beech and juniors Marlee George, Erika Sporn and Jor-dan Jachmann acknowledged.

■ From Page 28

■ AGAINST Berri, youngster Zac Schubert added fi ve senior goals to the fi ve goals he had scored ear-lier in an under 18 game and with Tim Smith and Karl Hennig, was in the outstanding players.

In the fi rst semi-fi nal, Renmark will start favourite against Berri but substantial losses last time out to both sides is hardly the ideal preparation.

Stephen Cresp, Aden Shaw, Lincoln Matulin (Renmark) and Dylan Couzner, Roly Bevis, Tony Halupka (Berri) were the form players entering the major round.

If ever there could be a draw in these fi nals matches Renmark against Loxton in A women could produce it.

It would not be the fi rst time in 2012.

But Renmark also hardly had a perfect preparation last weekend when it went down 3-0 to Waikerie despite outstanding games from Rebecca Keynes, Lisa Hartavis and Ally Giles.

Loxton, on the other hand, was back to something like its effi -

cient best in scoring its fi rst win of the season against Berri 6-2.

Tara Allister, Eloise Hampel and BJ Stoneham set the example for the defending champion.

The second women’s match, the fi rst semi-fi nal could also be a cliffhanger fi nish.

Waikerie with Kristen Pick, Carlye Waye and Zoe Liebich star-

ring got back to some of its mid season form in beating Renmark, while despite having its late sea-son momentum interrupted by Loxton, Berri still had players like Jane Hustler, Jen Kiel and Kira Mc-Mahon in good form.

Hockey 2012 has produced regular surpise results and it would be a sound bet that there are still more to come.

Friday night the knockout A grade fi rst semi-fi nals will be held, the women’s game at 7pm between Berri and Waikerie and the men’s at 8.40pm between Renmark and Berri.

On Saturday a full day of fi -nals action starts at 8.50am with under 12s and concludes with A grade second sem- fi nals, Renmark versus Loxton in the Women at 4.50pm and Waikerie versus Loxton in the Men at 6.20pm.

Minor premierships and posi-tions in the four are more impor-tant than they might appear for these matches as in the case of tied scores there is no extra time played but it is the team placed highest on the ladder that advances.

The topsy turvy nature of sea-son 2012 gives every indication that some scores could be level at the fi nal whistle.

■ I READ an article written by the president of a sporting association in a community recently that used a term that I had not seen before - sports tourism.

It talked about the value of attracting elite sporting events to a community but empha-sized that it was also about hosting training camps, sports carnivals and even sports science type activities.

As far as his community was concerned the author claimed it had the infrastructure, cli-mate and position to attract these events but emphasized it was necessary to take stock of all of the region’s strengths and assets.

In conclusion, he considered that sport had a very real ability to enhance the region’s tour-ism but that it required everyone to put their heads together and to work as one to make it happen so that the community could benefi t as a whole.

Much had been done he said but much more could be achieved.

I wonder whether this sports tourism con-cept could apply in the Riverland?

■ RIVERLAND soccer will play the semi-fi nals of its Top Four Cup competitions from under 12s to A grade at Barmera this Sunday.

A fun day for juniors will be held earlier in the morning.

In the A grade men’s semi-fi nals, 2012 premier Berri River Rangers will play Loxton Unit-ed and Barmera United meets Renmark Olympic.

Open womens grade matches will be Renmark versus Berri and Loxton against Barmera.

In last Sunday’s fi nal premier-ship matches for 2012, Renmark put in a spirited effort against Berri.

Olympic simply would not go away and the premiers had to work hard throughout to come up with a 7-4 win at the end of a keen contest.

Russell Frankel, Chris Miller and goalkeeper James Bucon stood out for the Rangers, while for Renmark Ibby Altundag, Matt Lewan and Daniel Clark made huge contributions to an im-proved showing from their side.

In the other game, Loxton produced a surprise result against Barmera 2-0 with Geordie Franks outstanding for the winner and, along with Riley Stone, produc-ing the team’s two goals.

It was Loxton`s fi rst win for the season in 15 matches.

In open girls grade there were two draws with Loxton 0-0 against Barmera and premier Renmark 2-2 against Berri.

An outstanding contest in the under 16 grade saw Barmera just edge out Loxton 4-3 and in under 12s, Berri Number Two defeated Barmera Number Two 3-2 and

Barmera Number One beat Berri Number One 2-1.

Apart from Berri River Rang-ers being clear winners of the A grade men’s premiership on 43 points from Barmera 25, Renmark 17 and Loxton three points, the open girls title went to Renmark with 33 points followed by Loxton on 21.

Dominant premier in un-der 16’s was Renmark, Barmera won the B grade, and in under 14s, Barmera Number Two fi n-ished on 39 points, nine clear of Renmark Number One on 30.

In the closest fi nish of all, in the Under 12s Berri Number Two with 32 points, narrowly fi nished ahead of Barmera Number One on 31.

The Riverland Soccer Asso-ciation will hold its annual Pre-sentation Dinner at the Greek Hall in Renmark on Friday, September 7.

Focusing on junior soccer, Riverland teams did not claim a winner or runner-up trophy at presentations after the recent Ju-nior Country Championships in the South East but RSA President Bill Bucon reported that all of our teams were competitive.

Other than the host Western Border Association, Riverland had the most teams competing at the tournament.

A highlight of the weekend was the following local play-ers being invited to participate in the 2012 Girls State Talent Identifi cation Championships in September.

Claire Weeks, Jasmine Thom-as, Kelly Watson, Isabella Zunic, Zanna Fournaros (under 12), Sammy Hauptman, Pamela Pi-

pinis, Abbey Wilson, Dalyce Jenner (under 13) and Elif Sen, Jemma Tuhoro and Alissa Knight (under 14).

In the girls divisions, the Riverland had teams at under 13 and under 16 level at the cham-pionships.

The under 13 team ran into tough competition with its best effort getting within a goal of Adelaide Hills 3-2 and the under 16 team lost to Adelaide Hills 2-1, drew with Western Border Red 0-0 and won 1-0 over West-ern Border Blue and 7-0 against Fleurieu to fi nish third in a group of fi ve teams.

The under 12 boys also fi n-ished third amongst seven teams winning 3-1 over Western Border, 2-0 against Whyalla, 6-1 against Sunraysia and drawing 1-1 with Adelaide Hills.

Consistently amongst the

best players were D. Soulemezis, E. Gregoric, S. Crouch, A. Zahos and T Kent.

The under 13 boys drew against Port Pirie 1-1 and played four close matches in losing to its other opponents with A. Drogemuller, R. Wallace, M. Bris-tow, C. Lambert and M. Makris performing splendidly.

At under 14 level, Riverland defeated Western Border 8-3 and lost two games to Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu by one goal with major contributions from F. Cat-alano, A. Patton and N. Thomas, while in four outings the under 15s defeated Adelaide Hills 5-2 and drew with Sunraysia 2-2.

Better players included J. Eki-sa and T. Reinertsen.

The under 16s also faced strong opposition but fought hard with a best result being a 1-1 draw against Whyalla.

Loxton breaks losing streak

■ BLANCHETOWN/ Swan Reach col-ours will certainly be predominant on Independent netball grand fi nal day with its A and B grade teams already booking berths for the day’s program.

In last weekend’s second semi-fi -nals, BSR defeated East Murray 47-30 in the A grade and Paringa 36-31 in the B grade.

This Saturday, however, it will be Brown’s Well, with both of its teams on show in the preliminary fi nals after a winning double on fi rst semi-fi nal day.

The club kept its season alive with a 43-31 win against Ramco in A grade and a 53-29 victory against East Murray in the B grade.

That means this Saturday’s pre-liminary fi nals are East Murray versus Brown’s Well in the A grade and Paringa against Brown’s Well in the B grade.

■ MANNUM’S Carl and Tammy Haby dominated the Wynarka Off Road En-duro in their Pro Buggy setting the weekend up with a win in the Prologue and then going on to take outright hon-ours in the main event.

The Waikerie Riverland Club mem-bers fi nished in front of Luke Erceg, Aaron Haby and fellow club members Brad Gallard, James Copeland and Lindsay Foster in the Prologue.

But it was a different story for Waikerie Riverland vehicles at the con-clusion of the Enduro as Gallard, Cope-land and Foster were amongst 14 of the initial 30 cars that did not fi nish due to mechanical issues.

With Carl Haby, the SAORRA 2011 Driver of the Year, placings on the po-dium were Erceg in second and Ivan Schmocker in third, with Aaron Haby in ninth position.

Interest will now focus on the Pines Enduro at Millicent on September 7 to 9, which will be round fi ve of the SA and round three of the Australian Off Road Championships and then to the Sedan Short Course event which will be round fi ve of the SA Multi Club Series on September 15 and 16.

BSR netball teams book spot in grand fi nal

■ A COUPLE of weeks after dom-inating a competition at his home Loxton range, Kevin Nickolai won the AA grade at a Renmark Berri Field and Game Clay Target Shoot on Sunday.

This was a state qualifying event with 33 shooters taking part from local clubs, Adelaide and Melbourne.

Some tough targets amongst a generally good set saw scores on the low side but Nickolai shot rounds of 22, 21 and 22 for a win-ning score of 65/75, followed by Renmark’s Tony Trevorrow with 61/75.

A grade went to Renmark’s Steve Markham with 61/75 ahead of Adelaide’s Allan Marden 60/75 and the B grade was decided on a countback with Jeremy Pippos (Loxton) getting the win from Ja-son Hefford (Renmark) after both

recorded 53/75.On the day, shooters com-

peted for the Wes Fenton Memo-rial Shield with Craig Jones from Melbourne, who is a Renmark Berri Club member, fi nishing with a handicap score of 85/75 in the C grade to be the 2012 winner ahead of Pippos and Hefford.

He also took out the C grade competition with 52/75 from the runner-up, Adelaide’s Bryan Stokes 46/75.

A score of 58/75 gave Richard Dean (Adelaide) a victory in Veter-ans from another Adelaide visitor in Mike Lane on 51/75, Kate Ball (Adelaide) with 45/75 won the ladies from Jo Brown (Renmark) on 44/75, and Renmark’s Kailan Markham (Renmark) continued to shoot consistently to win the juniors with 52/75 ahead of Mat Redway (Renmark) on 46/75.

■ THE RIVERLAND Superdogs put on a clinic to entertain the crowd at their annual family day at Lyrup oval on Sunday, fi eld-ing a full strength team to de-feat Fitzroy Lions 19-16 (130) to 6-4 (28).

The home side even put some valuable players into visitors guernseys to help them out in the spirit of the AFL Masters competition but it was all to no avail as the ava-lanche of Superdogs attacks was irrepressible.

With players like Ron Foulds, Rick Frahn, Sid Norton, and Darren Tieste spending some time in Lions’ colours and the Riverland side still winning so convincingly, it is an indication of the talent available amongst local veterans.

President Lance Gum was

forced to hobble off with a calf injury which gave star ruckman Peter Hoffmann the chance to show how serious the injury that had relegated him to goal um-pire for the match really was.

Hoffy with itchy feet, jeans and sand shoes joined in the fray in style.

Stars for the Superdogs jug-gernaut were numerous.

‘Busman’ Jones was in and around everything, fi rst gam-ers Tim Kruger (four goals) and John Minchelli looked like useful recruits, Ken Kar-pany, ruckman Harris, Pe-ter Aston and Doc Clifford, with fi ve goals, were all major contributors.

The last game of the season for the Superdogs will be against Rosewater in Adelaide on Sun-day September 9.

Loxton United

claims first win of the

season

Thursday, August 30, 2012Issue No. 244

By GRAHAM CHARLTON

WAIKERIE remains fi rm favour-ite for the men’s A grade pre-miership as the fi nals kick off at Glassey Park this weekend.

However, it will have to get past a resurgent Loxton in the second semi-fi nal.

Final ladder positions in the A grade competitions af-ter last weekend’s end of the minor rounds were Waikerie, Loxton, Renmark and Berri for the men and Renmark, Loxton, Berri and Waikerie in women’s hockey.

In the men’s competi-

tion, Waikerie has had a stel-lar fi nish to the season.

Last week it warmed up nicely for the business end of 2012 with a 5-1 victory over Renmark with young Caleb Catford, Michael Camilleri and Graeme Bartel the stand-outs in an extremely even spread of contributors.

Loxton also had an im-pressive 7-0 win over Berri but the reigning premier is the team probably impacted upon most by the availabil-ity of its leading players.
