Every Riverlander is being urged to attend a Murray Darling Basin Plan meeting in Renmark tomorrow to

have their say about the future of the region.Story Page 5.

AHEAD of tomorrow’s draft basin plan meeting in Renmark, Mur-ray Darling Basin Authority chair Craig Knowles has revealed that he believes the biggest threat facing South Australia is itself.

Mr Knowles said meetings in South Australia to date have shown that people want a plan so there is security.

Encouraging everyone to at-tend tomorrow’s meeting, Mr

Knowles said South Australia and the Riverland’s biggest challenge, in regards to the basin plan, is its differing views.

“I think in South Australia there has to be a bit of a consideration

as to whether or not we make a start on a more secure plan that provides that security that people tell me they want or whether com-munities want their Premier to go for broke, as he seems to be saying he wants a big number or else,” Mr Knowles said.

“It’s a different view to what we’ve picked up in other parts of South Australia in our meetings where people are saying very clearly

to me, let’s just make a start here and let’s get something settled and let’s move on.

“I think there is a difference in view and I think that will be the challenge for South Australiain the end.”

In a letter to the Riverland Week-ly, Premier Jay Weatherill said he is concerned the plan does not ad-equately recognise South Australia’s responsible use of the river, it will

not do enough to withstand future droughts and it will not protect iconic Ramsar listed sites.

“We are working through a de-tailed analysis of the draft plan but it is clear the burden of returning the river to health must be borne by the upstream states,” he said.

A RIVERLAND water expert believes River Murray fl ows into the region will rise as high as 40,000 megalitres per day breaching river banks.

Reports from the State Government suggest River Murray fl ows in South Aus-tralia will not exceed 30,000 megalitres per day.

However, Flow on Busi-ness principal Tony Sharley said fl oodwater entering South Australia will see levels rise over river banks.

“The next fi ve to six weeks, we will see a signifi -cant increase in fl ows into South Australia,” he said.

“We are now also mov-ing into a period where our water use is being reduced, our storages are all very full, so whilst some of these rains will be captured by some storages, there is a bit of air-space in them.

“They will obviously top

up to 100 per cent but there is probably enough rain for this water to actually continue on down the system.

“If you go 40,000 (mega-litres per day) you are about to breach and that’s when water is just starting to spill out onto the fl oodplain.”

Advice from the Depart-ment for Water released last Thursday, subject to weather conditions, suggests fl ows into South Australia are ex-pected to increase to around 25,000 megalitres per day when maintenance works at the Chowilla coffer dam and Lock 4 are completed.

KAROONDA East Murray Council has backed plans for the establishment of a $3.5 million facility at Wanbi to accommodate Mindarie Mine workers.

Mindarie Mine owners Murray Zircon has applied to lease the currently unused Wan-bi Oval, which council owns.

A change in land use is re-quired before the agreement can go forward and has been out for public consultation, with feedback closing yester-day.

Karoonda East Murray Council chief executive offi -cer Peter Smithson said an 80 bed facility at Wanbi would help the town.

“We’d previously resolved to let Murray Zircon use the

land but that we’d formulate a commercial lease on that plan so we still retain owner-ship,” he said.

“It (the project) will cer-tainly make Wanbi look a bit different.

“We’re just making sure we go through the proper pro-cess with planning approval but it will certainly improve the site and they are also talk-ing about sealing roads and making car park areas.”

Mr Smithson said council is “cautiously optimistic” that the Mindarie Mine will re-open and remain operation-al, providing much needed funds for Mallee towns.

“As you can appreciate previously, when it was Aus-tralia Zircon there wasn’t a good history because it went into receivership, whereas Orient Zircon are a major shareholder and they are quite experienced with ex-tracting zircon,” Mr Smith-son said.

“We’re hopeful this time it will get off the ground and keep going.”

Murray Zircon has been working closely with the lo-cal community and will hold another meeting at the East Murray Community Centre on March 27.

Mallee boostSecker out, Pasin in

OUSTED Member for Barker Patrick Secker has vowed to continue to serve the people of the electorate until his term expires.

Mr Secker was outvoted in Saturday’s pre-selection ballot held at Bordertown, gaining just 78 votes compared to Mount Gambier Lawyer Tony Pasin’s 164 votes, with another candidate Ben Treloar re-ceiving 40 votes.

The result means Mr Secker’s role in the Barker electorate, which he has held since 1998, will fi nish when the next Federal election is called.

In a statement, Mr Secker said he “wholeheartedly accepts the decision taken by the members”.

“(I) will continue to work in the best interests of the party to see a Tony Ab-bott elected government at the next elec-tion,” he said.

“I congratulate Mr Pasin and he has my support.

“Barker is a great electorate fi lled with many great people and it has truly been an honour to serve the people of Barker since 1998 and I will continue to serve the people of Barker right until my term expires.

“Everything I have done in this job has been in the best interests of my elec-torate and the nation and believe that I have played my part to make my local area of Barker a better place.”

■ VOTED OUT: Member for Barker Patrick Secker will fi nish his term when the next

Federal election is called.

Story clarifi cationIn a story regarding the use of the former Fletchers Freighters site, it stated that the facility is owned by Hoffy’s Steel, when in fact it is owned by Peter Hoffmann

and Tony Moro.

Murray Zircon pushes forward with plans to build $3.5 million facility

It will certainly

make Wanbi look

a bit different.

I’d like to see his expressionTOMORROW is judgement day.

Riverland producers, businesses and community members will converge on Renmark for the Murray Darling Basin Plan draft meeting.

This may be the last chance for River-landers to stand up and have their say be-fore the plan is set in concrete.

Refl ecting back over the past few years, there have been so many meetings.

The last meeting to be held at the Ren-mark Greek Orthodox Hall regarding the basin plan created little interest.

It was so quiet I think I heard a pin drop.Tomorrow’s meeting will be quite the

opposite.The Murray Darling Basin Authority

will not know what hit it.In today’s Riverland Weekly, I spoke to

Authority chair Craig Knowles about the visit and he welcomed any kind of com-munity engagement.

In previous visits to the Riverland, Craig has listened to irrigators, the people of the land and crucial industry identities.

It seems he has taken concerns on board.But when Craig arrives in Renmark to-

morrow, I would like to see the expression on his face as he witnesses the displays of produce and the number of people in at-tendance.

He will quickly get the impression that the Riverland wants answers very soon.

Jaguar club rolls into town

Eye on Renmark’s competitive petrol pricesBy BRAD PERRY

RENMARK has been tagged as one of the most competitive areas for petrol in South Aus-tralia following two months of low prices.

Questions have also been raised by the RAA in regards to petrol prices in other Riverland towns following Renmark’s com-petitive nature.

RAA Senior Policy Analyst Christ West said Renmark was second for the cheapest average petrol in the South Australia this year, only behind Port Augusta.

“I’d have to say prices in Renmark were extremely com-petitive for a long period,” Mr West said.

“For almost a two month period it was well below the re-gional average, it was actually on par, if not better, than the city almost every day.

“We saw that turn mid Feb-ruary when it returned to pric-ing levels, which we would have expected, from 138.6 (cents per litre) on February 15 and by Feb-ruary 19, you were seeing 149.9 for petrol.

“When it moved to 149.9 it actually moved in line with a lot of the other centres and it has ac-tually been declining ever since.”

There are a number of factors causing such low prices in Ren-mark, according to Mr West.

“I’d have to say that local competitive factors can come into play and just thinking of the main street down there, there are a couple of streets that will com-pete with each other quite aggres-

sively,” he said.“Obviously they were com-

peting for customers because there isn’t any other reason to be offering extremely low fuel prices.

“Transport costs are higher, for a tank delivering to Renmark compared to just around the cor-ner in Adelaide, even factoring in that, it was fair to say it was close to a cost price level in both those two centres (Renmark and Port

Augusta) over a period of time.”Mr West said the lack of

competition over petrol pric-es has been noted in other Riverland towns.

“It provokes the question from a Riverland point of view, if you can have it in Renmark, why can’t you have it in Lox-ton or Berri or Barmera for that matter?” he said.

“If Renmark motorists can enjoy that then why can’t other centres.”

A rise in crude oil prices is ex-pected to be passed on in part to Riverland motorists.

“In terms of fuel price move-ments we have seen around about a nine to 10 cents rise in crude oil prices since the beginning of Feb-ruary,” Mr West said.

“Our pump prices are dictat-ed by the international price for petrol and that’s increased rather than the nine to 10 cents, that’s increased fi ve to six cents.

“We would only expect for that fi ve to six cents to be passed through and for retailers to not pass on anymore than that because that is the legitimate cost increase.”

■ FUEL: Average petrol prices in Renmark are amongst the state’s best this year but the RAA wants to know why other local towns have not followed suit.

AN OVERSEAS Jaguar Club ex-perienced a taste of the River-land during a visit to Renmark on Tuesday.

The largest ever overseas contingent of XK and E-type Jaguars arrived at Ruston’s Ros-es as part of a unique Austra-lian tour.

Drivers of 20 iconic 1950s and 1960s Jaguars from Hol-land, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom have taken part in the journey

through New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.

Classic Jaguar Touring proprietor Ricardo Galvani said the touring party was impressed by Riverlanders hospitality.

“With the time available we can only give people a taste of Australia, so we wanted to show them a bit of everything,” he said.

“We’ve come up from the

Great Ocean Road, Warrnam-bool, Halls Gap and the Gram-pians and rather than going direct to Adelaide, we thought let’s go inland to the Riverland and across the Murray River and it’s all lovely countryside up here.

“There’s lots of things, the wine, the food, the roads, the weather...so lots of reasons to come back. “Everywhere we stop we seem to meet someone whose father owned a Jaguar or

whose uncle owns a Jaguar or who has a Jaguar.”

The Classic Jaguar Tour rais-es money for a charity called Plan, while money raised at a dinner at Ruston’s Roses on Tuesday will go to the River-land Youth Theatre.

RIVERLAND road work-ers are being called out to clean grape spills from trucks on local roads up to a dozen times per day.

A road worker in the region, who did not wished to be named, said truck drivers need to be further educated on the potential hazards grape spills can cause for other motorists.

“From day to day we might get one call out and then the next day we might get half a dozen, which is quite regular as the season goes on,” they said.

“It could be anything from a shovel load up to a couple of tonnes.

“The main thing is the juice spills onto the road and it gets quite slippery for motorists and pedes-

trians and especially peo-ple on motorbikes.”

The worker said clean up for grape spills this season from Loxton to Renmark has seen crews working for more than

two hours in some cases.The worker said local

companies could better educate drivers on secur-ing loads, as there have been more spills this year than last year to date.

Meanwhile, Fam-ily First MLC Robert Bro-kenshire has called upon Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastruc-ture inspectors to show restraint this Riverland

grape harvest on very mi-nor infringements.

The calls come after the release of the 2011 Operation Grape Harvest memo under Freedom of information laws.

Mr Brokenshire said the document states the primary focus of the op-eration was roadworthi-ness, fatigue, mass, se-curing of loads and the use of seat belts by heavy

vehicle drivers, with the secondary focus on route compliance, as well as registration and licensing requirements.

“I call upon the State Labor Government, through its inspectors, to show some understand-ing between the impor-tant need to insure the roads are safe, on one hand, and on respecting that viticulturists, harvest-ers and others involved in the harvest are simply doing their jobs at a high pressure time,” Mr Bro-kenshire said.

RICHARD and Debbie Wardle were supposed to be relaxing on holiday, in-stead the pair are anxious-ly waiting to see the result of fl oodwaters at home in New South Wales.

The Wagga Wagga resi-dents, who this week were staying at the Berri River-side Caravan Park, were waiting on a phone call to fi nd out the situation, with fl ood levels above 10 me-tres and expected to peak.

While the Wardle’s live on a hillside suburb called Ashmont, where their home is safe, they fear for Wagga Wagga, with the New South Wales

state already affected by fl oodwater.

“My original plan was to come here, we’d been here once before and it’s a lovely place to come,” Mr Wardle said from Berri on Tuesday.

“We might not even get home yet, we are just playing it by ear.

“What they were wor-ried about is the levee bank, it’s maximum is 11 metres.

“If it goes up another 50 centimetres, it (fl ood-water) can inundate the town.

“We’re worried about the community itself as well.”

With thousands of

people evacuated from Wagga Wagga, Mr Wardle said he is prepared to help with the clean-up effort when he returns home.

He was thankful of the efforts to maintain le-vee banks in the area.

“After the 2010 fl ood, they found a weakness in the levee bank so they got in there and fi xed it,” Mr Wardle said.

“They found that big bull ants caused it, they dug in there and under-mined the levee banks.”

DESTINATION Riverland and the Riverland Tourism Association (RTA) will need to work together to ensure a bright future for the local industry both parties believe.

The RTA went into caretaker mode in July last year but was resurrected during a meeting last month.

Newly appointed RTA chairperson Peter Freeman said the association plans to meet with Destination Riverland to discuss both group’s positions.

“Early on, Destination Riverland announced they weren’t very interested in having a membership base and we think it’s very important, the fact the RTA does have a membership base, that we can act as a way of passing on members’

suggestions and ideas,” he said.

“We’re hoping to have a meeting with them as soon as possible so we can complement their activities.”

Mr Freeman said he is passionate about Riverland tourism being involved with a local houseboat business.

“Tourism can play a big part in reviving the fortunes of the Riverland and I think the RTA has got such

an important history of 40 years and 160 odd members from the tourism industry all working together across the whole of the Riverland without any of the parochialism that has sometimes been a problem,” he said.

“The funding from SA Tourism and councils has been withdrawn and given to Destination Riverland, so we’ll survive on our membership subscriptions.”

Destination Riverland executive offi cer Tony Sharley said the two tourism groups can work together.

“The RTA has obviously decided it wants to play a role in tourism, so from our point of view it is going to be pretty important to work out exactly what that role is so we are going to need to meet with the RTA,” Mr

Sharley said.“The last thing we want

as a region is two competing brands for tourism.

“We want to have one absolutely solid Riverland brand when it comes to tourism and it’s not like we are a region that is fl ush with money, so every cent has to be spent very wisely and therefore, we want to make sure we are not duplicating.

“So the critical thing is identifying who is going to do what and that’s something we will try and facilitate over the next few weeks.”

The RTA appointed Michael Schuetze as vice-chairperson, Bob West as secretary, Paul Capper as treasurer and Ian Andrews, Gaynor Fitzgerald, Mario Centofanti and Erica Babbage as committee members during this month’s meeting.

LOCAL Government Association chief executive offi cer Wendy Campana visited the Riverland this week to discuss the objectives of the Murray Darling Basin Plan with the three local councils.

In the lead up to tomorrow’s public meeting, Ms Campana met with mayors Peter Hunt (Berri Barmera), Leon Stasinowsky (Loxton Waikerie) and Neil Martinson (Renmark Paringa) on Monday.

Ms Campana said while all three mayors were in support of the plan,

there were still issues that need to be addressed.

One of the issues was the methodology of the plan, with work currently being done at the Goyder Institute, arranged by State Premier Jay Weatherill.

“In terms of the current outcomes and objectives that are in the plan as we know it at the moment, they felt they were tracking in the right direction,” she said.

“They’re saying ‘what do you do if people don’t follow the rules, what are the penalties? What are the issues?’

“2015 is the fi rst review so

they’re saying ‘what happens if we adopt it tomorrow and something goes wrong tomorrow? How are we going to deal with it?’”

Ms Campana said the plan needs to address the concerns of South Australia and many local councils are putting their thoughts in writing for submission to the Murray Darling Basin Authority.

“From hearing the Riverland mayors and knowing what Alexandrina council is doing, what the Coorong council is doing, I think there’s going to be some really good local feedback that is going to be given,” she said.

“After we capped our take more than 40 years ago the upstream states increased their use by about 5000 billion litres a year.

“We take just 7 per cent of the waters extracted from the basin, while they take 93 per cent.”

In response, Mr Knowles said the answer is not taking water from interstate.

“I pay tribute to Riverland farmers, they’ve invested heavily in the past in effi ciencies and they’ve had a dividend as a consequence of that with the various support mechanisms that have had to do all that,” he said.

“It’s made them more

resilient and I think we do seek to recognise that.

“I think the challenge will be, in a South Australian context, whether, for example, the Premier prosecuting a bigger number, 4000 gigalitres I think he is after, compared to our numbers, the impact that might have on Riverland farmers should he be successful.

“Simply saying for local digestion that we want more water but we don’t want to contribute to that effort and take it out of somebody else’s backyard, is what’s caused these problems in the past.

“If anyone thinks a large volume of water is going to come out of the basin and people aren’t going to be asked to participate

genuinely and fairly up and down the basin, I think they are not being realistic.”

Mr Knowles said he has worked closely with local irrigation identities Ben Haslett and Gavin McMahon.

“While we don’t necessarily agree on everything, I think fundamentally there is an understanding in the South Australian community that there has to be a plan and there is a growing likelihood that a plan will be in place sometime this year when it fi nally gets into Parliament,” he said.

“These meetings are very helpful to ensure we are getting it right because my job and the Authority’s job in a few short weeks is to bundle up

all the information and give it to the State, Territory and Commonwealth ministers and they then have to consider all of that.”

When asked why the meeting is scheduled during the middle of the Riverland winegrape harvest, Mr Knowles said there was no other way around it.

“I think people should turn up, I think people should let not so much me but their governments know what their views are,” he said.

“I keep fronting up and I’m on the road constantly and we try to do the best we can.

“But everywhere I go there is always something happening somewhere but I know people will turn up.”

THE Murray Darling Basin Authority has been told to ex-pect more than 1000 people at tomorrow’s basin plan draft meeting in Renmark.

South Australia River Com-munities member Chris Ben-nett said many businesses will close their doors and staff members will attend the meet-ing at the Renmark Greek Or-thodox Hall.

“I’m surprised at just how enthusiastic and quickly peo-ple have got on board with it,” he said.

“There are numerous busi-nesses now that have promised to come, in many cases bring-ing along their staff, a lot of them are either shutting down

completely for that period or leaving minimal staff on.

“Lots and lots of business-es will be bringing along either produce or machines, so we’ve got everything from grape har-vesters, a semi full of citrus, to cranes and bikes and boats.

“I don’t think that sort of approach has been taken in any other town that has held the meetings.”

Mr Bennett said more than 1000 people at the meeting will send a “very, very powerful message”.

“This is about the commu-nity and it is about all the busi-nesses who provide services to not just irrigators but the com-munity who generally are go-ing to be affected,” he said.

“Originally they’d been

asked to set up for 500 people because of the size of the hall, then they were told 800 and the last I heard was that the MBDA are predicting 1000.

“The numbers and the peo-ple there shows concern and it sends an extremely powerful message that we are not to be ignored, we do have some is-sues and we want to discuss these issues and we do want to resolve these issues so we’ve got a future as a community.”

SARC is preparing the event for an overfl ow of people, set-ting up outdoor speakers and seating.

Bus loads of people from Waikerie and Cadell will also attend the meeting.

The meeting will take place from 1pm.

We want you!

Knowles: SA needs to move forward on plan

Whetstone calls for actionMEMBER for Chaffey Tim Whetstone is calling on locals to attend the basin plan meeting in Renmark as the last public opportunity to address con-cerns.

“It is about the region considering its future and I think tomorrow is an opportunity to attend the meeting and either ask questions or voice your con-cerns,” he said.

“It’s about the critical mass of the Riverland and its community in its en-tirety to come along and have your say.

“Potentially this is our last pub-lic effort to address the concerns that we have as a region to tackle the draft plan.”

Mr Whetstone said he does not sup-port Premier Jay Weatherill’s threat of a High Court Challenge.

“The High Court Challenge is just more political spin,” Mr Whetstone said.

“What we need to do address is where the effi ciency gains can be made instead of concentrating on a num-ber.”

THE future of the long running Waikerie Flower Show is still not secure following a fold at-tendance at a public meeting in Waikerie on Monday.

Just 11 people attended the community meeting to gauge how much interest there is in forming a new committee for the event.

As a result another meeting has been scheduled for March 19 at the Waikerie council chambers.

Former Waikerie Flower Show committee member Ali-son Smith said she hopes the next meeting will see more peo-ple express interest, especially the younger generation.

“We just can’t do it with that (low) number of committee members,” she said.

It is a race against time for the fl ower show to gain inter-ested members as it is hoping to apply for a grant from the Loxton Waikerie Council.

“That (the funding) will go towards hall hire and printing the programs,” Mrs Smith said.

After storms damaged the Waikerie Institute roof, the event also needs a new venue to host displays.

Mrs Smith is encouraging as many people as possible to at-tend the planned meeting on March 19.

“It’s been going for 30 years and I think people really enjoy going to it,” she said.

“There are some lovely gar-dens around and people love showing their fl owers.”

THE Loxton High School Continental raised $22,000 on Fri-day night with a large crowd in attendance.

While the Conti-nental concluded ear-lier than previous years due to bad weather, organiser Karen Milich said the night was a success.

“We were down a little bit than last year because it rained a bit later in the evening,” Mrs Milich said.

“Everything still

went really well.”Local band Crunch

Lab and the school's fashion parade were labelled as the ma-jor highlights for the night.

“The band was re-ally entertaining and the fashion parade, like always, was very popu-lar,” Mrs Milich said.

“The food stalls and the layout of the Con-tinental was fairly on par.”

Mrs Milich said there are several plans to build on next year's Continental.

Premier says go to meeting

THE Murray Darling Ba-sin Authority will visit Renmark to discuss the draft Basin Plan on Fri-day.

The State Govern-ment's initial concerns about the plan remain.

We are concerned that the plan does not adequately recognise South Australia's respon-sible use of the river, will not do enough to ensure we can withstand future droughts and won't pro-tect our iconic Ramsar listed sites.

Since my visit to the Riverland last October, we have continued to talk with people in river com-munities to understand their concerns and to help develop a strong re-sponse.

We are working through a detailed analy-sis of the draft plan but it is clear the burden of re-turning the river to health must be borne by the up-stream states.

After we capped our take more than 40 years ago, the upstream states increased their use by about 5000 billion litres a year.

We take just seven per cent of the waters extract-ed from the Basin, while they take 93 per cent.

We also need to con-tinue our strong tradi-tion of sustainable food production. That is why the State Government has backed the $240 mil-lion Water Industry Alli-ance bid for infrastructure funding that was delivered to Canberra last week.

These are the argu-ments we will continue to pursue.

I encourage you to go to the meeting and help ensure South Australia’s voice is heard.

Jay Weatherill,State Premier.

State unity vitalTHE Country Labor Exec-utive supports Premier Jay Weatherill in his strong

call for unity from all South Australians in their response to the Murray-Darling Basin Authority draft report.

At a public meeting in Berri just days after becoming Premier, Mr Weatherill stressed the im-portance of unity from all South Australian Murray water users in responding to recommendations in the report, which he said did not take into account the good record of South Australia over the past 40 years.

Liberal member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone gave the Premier his full support at that meeting but has now reneged on that undertaking and is publicly criticising him for his stand.

Just when we need a solid display of unity, Mr. Whetstone has bowed to pressure from his inter-state colleagues who rep-resent electorates in the Murray-Darling Basin.

He has chosen to support those who have grossly over-allocated

water from the system, which has put the basin in a precarious position, rather than stand up for the lower section of the Murray which suffered environmental degreda-tion during the prolonged drought.

The Murray-Darling Basin needs urgent envi-ronmental help.

It is in South Aus-tralia’s interest to stand united in responding to the draft report in a re-sponsible way rather than attempting to score cheap political points as Mr Whetstone appears to be doing.

Roly Telfer, S.A. Country LaborExecutive member,

Renmark.

Leave the ducks alone

GREAT letters to the edi-tor (Riverland Weekly, Feb-ruary 23) on the killing of ducks.

It really amazes me how anybody gets plea-

sure from shooting wild-life and animals.

Tourists, the elderly, carers and their clients, parents and their chil-dren or grandchildren love to feed the ducks or just relax watching them, in their peaceful environ-ment.

We live in a world of so much cruelty, violence, greed and money and at the end of the day, who suffers?

Animals and wildlife.If you really enjoy

shooting and killing go to war with your gun and one bullet.

On a happy note, I would like to thank Lola from the Moorook Ani-mal Shelter and her vol-unteers, Jos Kelly and her volunteers Susan, Anne, Kat and anybody else who takes the time and effort to rescue wildlife and animals.

Just remember the devastating fi res and fl oods that have claimed thousands of lives.

Martina Roberts,Loxton.

FEELING like somewhat of a Soundwave veteran, I entered the gates of Bonython Park in Adelaide on Saturday.

There were thousands of people, including many Riv-erlanders, thinking along the same lines as me, rushing in at-tempting not to miss one of the many scheduled bands playing music from across a wide range of genres.

As I entered I studied the timetable trying to fi gure out where the likes of early 1990s band Bush fi ts into the line-up headlined by System of a Down, Marilyn Manson, Limp Bizkit and Bad Religion.

Sunshine bathed the park as I found myself under a tent watching Four Year Strong, a rocking American band.

There was time to catch old school act Steel Panther, who

lived up to their reputation, en-tertaining the crowd with one-liners and unusual lyrics, all the while dressed in spandex.

The revolving door that is punk rock band Unwritten Law saw Scott Russo, the last re-maining original member, belt out some songs from earlier albums and even an impressive Grinspoon cover.

A wheelchair bound fan crowd surfed to a huge applause from the audience before Chris-tian band Relient K revealed Switchfoot had returned home for a familiy emergency.

UK band You Me at Six played in front of a large crowd before I took comfort in an expensive but tasty fast food option, Chip on a Stick.

As the day went on, rain left fans running for cover, while many braved the conditions to see their favourite bands.

Punk veterans Bad Religion

reminded everyone about their age during a top class set and Limp Bizkit played some of its biggest hits much to the delight of 30,000 people.

With Marilyn Manson and Slipknot pulling large numbers to watch, I ended up wandering the huge area comprising of 11 stages and found myself drawn into a band titled Letlive.

Not because of their mu-sic but because the lead singer had climbed the stage and was performing vo-cals whilst hanging from the top corner.

As the set went on, he threw himself around the stage be-fore fi nishing by trashing the drum kit.

The Used put on an admi-rable performance and by the time Angels and Airwaves and System of a Down had fi nished, I was ready to call it a very long but entertaining day.

SCREEN and stage performer Tom Burlinson will be paying tribute to some of the mu-sic industry's all time greats when he brings his show to the Chaffey Theatre next Thursday.

Best known for his lead role in the Man From Snowy River, Tom (pictured right) will bring his latest musi-cal production, Now We're Swingin' to the Riverland.

The avid Frank Sinatra fan told the Riverland Weekly that performing songs from many eras gone by is a privilege.

“These are some wonder-ful songs made famous by some of the great singers of the style of the 20th century and have been revived much more recently especially by Michael Buble and Harry Connick Junior, so there is an appeal across the board for this kind of music,” he said.

“If you are celebrating some of these men, there are

some songs you just can't leave out.

“For instance if you are doing Nat King Cole, you've got to put his signature tune which is Unforgettable, Dean Martin, Everybody Loves Some-body is his best known song.”

Tom grew up listening to the music of Frank Sinatra and along with classics by Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr and Bobby Darin to name a few, he hopes to provide an unforgettable show.

“I've loved his (Frank Si-natra) music all my life and there is something that I real-ly enjoy about singing these songs,” he said.

“I've created the show my-self and I really enjoy sharing my enjoyment of the music with the audience and it's very gratifying and invariably the response is 'great show, great show'.”

He is looking forward to interacting with the audi-ence, which is often made up of many generations.

“Sometimes I get 'my mum loves you' and some times those mums were teen-age girls when the Man from Snowy River was released, sometimes I get 'my nan loves you',” Tom laughed.

Tom Burlinson will per-form at the Chaffey The-atre in Renmark at 8pm next Thursday.

AN ADELAIDE Fringe show will begin its three day tour of the Riverland and Mallee today.

PressureLands, a 50-minute community arts performance project starring three lo-cal thespians, is aimed at talking to young people aged between 14 and 26 about what pressure means to them.

The performance has developed into a successful Adelaide Fringe show.

“It's about what sort of pressure young people are under, what expectations other people have of them and what they have of themselves,” organiser Alysha Herrmann said.

“It's developed into a play where the three characters are in year 12 and we see what their experiences are and what they're going to do when they fi nish year 12.”

PressureLands stars Riverland teenagers Brianna Obst, Milly Hoffmann and former local James Herrmann.

PressureLands will begin its Riverland tour tonight at the Lameroo Memorial Hall, continuing tomorrow at the Waikerie High School (both from 7pm) and Saturday at the Renmark Institute (from 2pm and 7pm).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Natural Resources MatterNatural resources management is caring for our land, water, plants and animals – balancing people’s needs with those of nature.

New Disease Alert – Myrtle RustThis fungal disease could have a major impact on native vegetation and cause serious damage to nursery and forestry industries. Plants from the Myrtaceae family are potentially susceptible to infection. It has been found on willow myrtle (Agonis sp.), turpentine (Syncarpia sp.) and bottlebrush (Callistemon sp.). The fungus causes spots on leaves and stems that develop into masses of orange powdery spores, resulting in dieback of new vegetation growth.

It has been detected in NSW, Queensland and Victoria but not in SA. Please keep on the lookout and report anything that might be suspected myrtle rust to the Pest Plant Hotline on 1800 084 881. Further information can be found on the Biosecurity SA website www.pir.sa.gov.au/biosecuritysa

Have you seen buffel grass!The SA MDB NRM Board wants your help in identifying buffel grass in the Riverland. If you suspect you have seen this weed an NRM officer will gladly help identify it and arrange immediate control of the infestation.

This introduced perennial tussock grass is rapidly spreading through the South Australian arid regions through livestock transportation. A factsheet to assist identification of this plant is located on the SA MDB NRM Board website: www.samdbnrm.sa.gov.au

Garden escapes to look out forAnother invasive grass weed to lookout for is fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) a densely tufted perennial growing to 900mm in height and the flowerhead is a long purplish feathery spike. It is often planted in gardens.

SA MDB NRM Board is concerned about the spread of this plant along the Paringa Causeway and is undertaking mapping to determine the extent. Fountain grass is not a declared weed and the source of the infestation is likely to becoming from local garden plants. If you see this plant along roadsides and in areas of native vegetation then please report it to your local NRM officer.

Dingoes don’t barkDingo numbers inside the Dog Fence have increased in recent years despite land managers efforts to control them. Dingos travel large distances and there is some chance of Dingoes appearing in southern areas.

Signs to look for include strange dog tracks and scats, unusual sheep behaviour or multiple sheep carcases in a limited area. Effective Dingo control relies on landowners to be vigilant, taking appropriate control activities and contacting the appropriate authorities. The SA MDB NRM Board can assist with advice, baits, and loaned traps. Contact Peter Michelmore on 8391 7500.

LOVEDAY 4X4 ADVENTURE PARKFEATURE

Action galore at Loveday

THE Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park will host a Riverland fi rst next weekend when a number

of Guinness World Records are expected to be broken.

Titled AusTruck Extreme World Records Weekend, the popular Love-day park is expecting the event to be one of its biggest to date with more than 5000 people to attend.

Competitors will attempt to break 10 world records on Saturday, March 17, while the Extreme AusTruck 4x4 racing in three different classes will be held on Saturday morning and all day Sunday, with up to 40 of Austra-lia’s top modifi ed 4WDs competing.

The AusTruck 4x4 racing is Aus-tralia’s newest 4WD event involving a series of timed races over obstacles and has drawn large crowds in shows at Melbourne and Brisbane.

Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park owner Tony Whateley said the track is being remodelled to cater for the AusTruck event.

He is excited about what the event can bring to the Riverland.

“It looks like we’re going to have a good turnout of numbers,” Mr What-

eley said.“We’re getting heaps of interest

from cities across Australia.”While attempting to break Guin-

ness World Records is hard work, Mr Whateley is confi dent of beating a number of the records attempted.

“Just about every world record here, we can do,” he said.

“The only thing that will stop us is mechanical failure or if we get washed out in the rain.”

Mr Whateley said motorsport fans will travel from across Australia to the region in a bid to take part in, or wit-ness, the world record attempts.

“Anyone who drives a truck wants to take a day off to come and watch it,” he said.

Another major drawcard for the weekend will be a huge monster truck, which will have its fi rst ever outing in Australia at the event.

“On the monster truck side of it, it’s not often we get the opportunity to have monster truck rides, where kids can actually get in a monster truck and have a ride,” Mr Whateley said.

The three racing events will con-

sist of bushmans, open and standard classes across a one kilometre stretch in a pursuit style race.

Another event, titled Bill’s Mud Run, will be held on a 30-metre mud pit, with competitors being timed, with the aim to get through the course as fast as they can.

Catering will also be available during the two days with steak sand-wiches, roast packs, chips, pizzas, do-nuts and ice cream all being sold at food vans.

“It’s a family orientated event and the catering side of it is reasonably priced,” Mr Whateley said.

Entry price for a weekend pass is $50, while witnessing Saturday’s pro-ceedings will cost $25 and for Sun-day, entry is $15.

“There’s onsite camping as well, so if you want to have a few drinks, don’t drive, camp,” Mr Whateley said.

The World Records Weekend will kick off from 9am next Saturday, with the record attempts to take place from 2pm.

The proceedings will continue into Sunday, commencing at 10am.

THE AusTruck Extreme World Records Weekend is set to enhance the reputa-tion of the Riverland host-ing large motorsport events with many spectators from around the country fl ocking to Loveday next weekend.

Many tickets for the event

have already been sold with interest spread right across the country.

“I’m confi dent we’re get-ting plenty of people from the city, from Adelaide and Melbourne,” Mr Whateley said.

“The big winner is the

Riverland as a whole because everyone will know where Loveday is and then they’ll know where Barmera and the Riverland is.”

Mr Whateley is hope-ful the event will put the Riverland “on the map” in a motorsport sense.

There will also be media and coverage from across Australia at the event, further boosting the park’s profi le.

“I’d say well over 100 vid-eos will go on YouTube from people with their phones and cameras,” Mr Whateley said.

Crowds expected to fl ock to motorsport weekend

ONE of the most anticipated parts of next weekend’s AusTruck Extreme World

Records Weekend will be the Guinness World Record attempts.

Competitors will be vying for a place in the coveted Guinness World Record Books by attempting to break 10 records at the Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park.

It will involve unique record at-tempts from drivers such as young star Toby Whateley, who will be taking part in the unusual longest esky jump.

“There’s a lot of people coming to see that,” Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park owner Tony Whateley said.

“If Toby can jump five metres, we’re laughing.

“It’s an electric esky, they do about 20 kilometres an hour so that will be great to see.”

Another attempt will be the longest reverse jump in a car, which is current-ly held by British television series Top Gear at 61 feet.

Mr Whateley is hoping to break that record by at least 20 feet.

“Top Gear has held the world re-cord for a reverse jump for quite a while now and we feel we can break that,” he said.

The longest wheel stand in a utility task vehicle has been billed as one of the favourable records to be broken.

Sam Xuerb’s Monster Truck ‘The Devil’s Taxi’ based in Melbourne and the star of various monster truck shows will attempt to wheel stand for over one kilometre or more.

The longest jump in a semi-trailer is currently held by the Nitro Circus Group at 51 feet.

Mr Whateley believes the competi-

tors can jump a phenomenal 80 feet and easily beat the record.

Loveday competitor Andrew Nich-ols has raised $20,000 in sponsor-ship and has built a Ford Louisville LT9000, bogie axle semi to attempt the record jump.

“The Americans are good at doing all of their jumps but in Australia we’ve got competitors who can outdo them,” he said.

“The spectators will get to witness it, it’s an Australian first.”

Other world record attempts will include the longest reverse wheel stand on a quad bike while riding on its side and the highest jump by a car towing a caravan.

Mr Whateley said the results are unpredictable with little practice com-pleted beforehand.

“That’s the unique thing about our event, our practice run is the main run,” he said.

“We’re doing it Australian-style, just having a crack.”

Another quite entertaining spec-tacle will be the sight of eight com-petitors trying to keep their balance to break the record for the most people on a quad bike, on its side, at one time.

Loveday identity Simon Herrmann will challenge the ‘single roll overs in a car over a five minute period’ with the record standing at nine.

A Polaris Odyssey UTV will attempt a wheel stand of over one kilometre or more and smash the 60 foot jump re-cord with a 90 foot effort.

The Loveday Extreme Show will give the crowd a lesson in how to jump cars over cars.

The record attempts will com-mence at Loveday from 2pm.

Breaking world records

n stunts: the Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park will be alive with

thrilling jumps, stunts and record attempts, including from a

semi-trailer (above) which is set to bring a whole new meaning to air freight. While (right) one

of the attempts will include the longest jump on an esky.

Golf course survives heavy rainBy CALLUM TRIFONOFF

WITH heavy downpours last week, Berri Golf Club’s new drainage system helped keep the course from water build up.

The 12th, 16th and 17th holes were affected by water for two days but Berri Golf Club captain Wayne Thiele said no damage was done.

The water on the fair-ways left from last Wednes-day's rain dried away without a problem, accord-ing to Mr Thiele.

Work by the Berri Barmera Council recently to fi x drainage issues on a number of holes has helped

the course cope with wet weather that would have previously made some holes unplayable.

Mr Thiele said the club is now prepared for future rains similar to last week.

“If we can have 80 milli-metres of rain and the course

is still playable, that's very, very good for us,” he said.

The rains have had a positive impact on the course greens as they are in pristine condition for the club's fi rst ever nine-hole par three competition on Sunday.

Arch rivals play off in fi nalBy CALLUM TRIFONOFF

UNDEFEATED Ren-mark North will take on Lyrup in this Saturday's Renmark District Cricket Association (RDCA) grand fi nal at the Renmark Number Two Oval.

In what should be a close fought replay of last year's tied fi nal, North will be looking for the per-fect end to the season, while Lyrup's roller coaster year would reach its peak with victory on

the weekend.RDCA Committee mem-

ber Tim Jackson said while North will go in as favou-rites to win the premiership, he is not writing Lyrup off.

“They're a bit of an unknown package the Lyrup boys,” Jackson said.

“Lyrup have had huge troubles with their num-bers but last week (in the preliminary) they had a full strength side and looked quite impressive.”

Jackson said Lyrup's Simon Sumner, Gary

Abdulla and veteran Rob Ro-meo will be hard for North to stop.

North's batting line-up is second-to-none in the competition, according to Jackson.

“James Bentley, Trevor Thorpe and John Persinos would be North's best play-ers,” he added.

The grand fi nal will also see the inaugural Tony Markham Medal, named after the former Paringa leg-end, awarded to the player adjudged best afi eld.

WAIKERIE-Ramco, Renmark and Berri will all be vying for a spot in the Riverland Turf Cricket Association A grade fi nals this weekend.

Renmark, which is cur-rently sitting in last position, will need to beat Loxton to have any chance of making the fi nals in what will be a shortened match due to rain last weekend.

Waikerie-Ramco leads by nine runs with seven wickets in hand in its match

against Berri, needing to win on second innings for a fi nals place.

Currently Berri sits in second place and is likely to create a fi nals berth but if it loses to Waikerie-Ramco and Renmark wins, can realisti-cally still miss out on a spot.

Meanwhile, the top six B grade fi nals positions are cemented with Loxton Black claiming the fi nal position, two wins ahead of Wunkar.

It is still up in the air

who will fi nish top with Barmera Hotel and Cob-dogla to compete for the position this weekend.

Meanwhile, Renmark won the under 16 pre-miership by one run after making 52 against Waikerie-Ramco on Saturday.

In under 14s, Berri easily accounted for Loxton by nine wickets for the fl ag.

Loxton could only man-age 84, with Berri passing the total one wicket down.

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

■ UNLIKE the one sided result of the second semi-fi nal in men’s divi-sion one bowls when Berri, on its home turf, destroyed Waikerie 120-47, last Saturday’s rematch between the same two clubs produced a con-test befi tting the grand fi nal.

High standard, non compro-mising bowls.

But in the end Berri, the de-fending champion and 2011-12 minor premier, was simply too good and boasted too much depth for Waikerie, who was playing in its fi rst grand fi nal since fi nals were introduced.

Berri won 84-68 in a match in which a leading player from the host club Renmark said “Waikerie kept at it, nipping away at their heels but in the end the class of some of the Berri skippers and depth in their rinks proved too much for them”.

“Berri are a very good unit”.In other divisions, Loxton RSL

went some way to bury the greens gremlins from 2010-11 by winning a pennant double taking out divi-sion two and division three green in style, while Loxton grabbed divi-sion three gold.

There is unoffi cial talk that Loxton RSL is interested in partici-pating at top level, so we will watch activities pre 2012-13 off the greens with interest as I understand the as-sociation has it minuted that there will not be a bye in division one in the future.

I must spend some time on that victory by Loxton in division three gold, 54-48 against Berri.

The result must have been particularly satisfying for one of Loxton’s, and indeed the Riv-

erland’s, stalwarts in the sport Doug Vaughan.

Doug was a skipper in the side that was made up of players from the club’s fl exirink concept that he played a large part in instigating.

Also, he would have been pleased to see his son John skipper a rink to a 12 shot victory that was crucial to the end result.

This is the third pennant cap-tured by the team since the fl exirink format was introduced.

I recall that the concept did have its critics in its initial stages but these seem to have been ironed out.

A Loxton spokesman said

“the fl exibility seems to suit modern times”.

“The system has unearthed some potentially very good pros-pects and all we need to do now is to convince them to try out in a main stream side”.

“The club is crying out for re-newal and these newer bowlers are the future.”

While talking Loxton, other news out of the club is that Pe-ter Kimber has continued the fi ne season we covered a few weeks ago by winning his 10th club championship and by joining his wife Lynn to grab the mixed pairs title.

Peter defeated another Loxton stalwart Vic Pavia 25-8 in the singles fi nal and in the pairs with Lynn, ac-counted for his brother David who was partnered by Loris Huxtable.

Looking at women’s bowls, champion of champion events are in the air at this stage but last week’s weather and this long week-end’s Prestige Medley and shield competitions on Yorke Peninsula have interrupted the program to some extent.

The only event that was fi na-lised was the champion of cham-pion triples at Loxton RSL on Fri-day with the title going to Loxton’s Lorraine Lee (skipper), Myrtle Size

and Lynn Kimber.Rain washed out Wednesday’s

fours tournament and that will now be played on Wednesday April 4, the pairs were held yesterday and the singles, programmed for tomor-row, have a new date, Wednesday, March 14 because of some contes-tants being off to Yorke Peninsula this weekend.

Offi cials have confi rmed all off the club singles champions are available for that day.

Twelve regions made up of six country and six metro, involv-ing 250 bowlers and offi cials, will be on the Yorke Peninsula this weekend playing in the Prestige Medley mens and womens nine a side competitions in pairs, triples and fours formats over Saturday and Sunday and chasing $6000 in prize money.

The men will be at Moonta Me-morial Bowling Club and the wom-en will be hosted jointly by Kadina and Wallaroo Mines clubs.

Monday is ‘bragging rights day’ when the cream of the coun-try bowlers clash with the best from the city in the annual Schro-eter, Kennedy and Under 18 Shield challenges.

The action will be at the impres-sive new Wallaroo Sports and Com-munity Club.

■ FOR the second season in a row Blanchetown-Swan Reach has fi nished the Mid Murray cricket minor round in third position on the lad-der and then gone on to win the premiership.

In last Saturday’s grand fi nal at Swan Reach BSR lost the toss and, perhaps sur-prisingly were invited to bat fi rst, reaching 8 for 132 with 24 from Troy Cowland and 18 from both Nat Salter and Scott McKenzie.

For their opponents Waikerie Gold, Jonno Wald-ing, 2 for 25 and skipper Cameron Hawke, 2 for 21, were best with the ball.

In reply, Gold could only manage 73 with Brad Gay contributing 25 and Hawke 14.

Jason Rodda, 4 for 14,

Max Martinson, 3 for 4 and McKenzie 2 for 33, did the damage for BSR.

BSR had served notice of being genuine chances of defending its title with an im-pressive win over Claypans in a semi-fi nal but for Waikerie Gold its loss in the biggest game of the year was a sport-ing club’s worst nightmare.

Up until Saturday they had been undefeated in 2011-12.

However, the club’s solid season was refl ected by the success of its players when individual awards were pre-sented after Saturday’s game.

Jonno Walding took out the Cricketer of the Year award on 479 points, ahead of his team-mates Hawke 470 and Gay 437.

Walding, who impressed

as an opening bowler with Murray Districts Barrier in this year’s SACA Country car-nival in Adelaide, won the bowling aggregate with 22 wickets ahead of McKenzie 17 and Martinson 16, the av-erage with 8.59 and also tied in the fi elding award with Ben Dreckow (Morgan).

Hawke took home the batting aggregate trophy with 310 runs from Gay 307 and Claypans’ Brenton Kluge 270.

In the batting average it went Gay 38.40, Hawke 34.44 and Kluge 33.75.

Kluge was also named the Best Wicketkeeper.

Josh Hancock (Claypans) was a runaway winner in the Junior Cricketer of the Year voting and also won the ju-nior fi elding trophy.

■ ORGANISERS of the sev-enth annual Port Pirie State Masters Games are inviting people from our region to join some 1500 competi-tors for the 2012 event from April 13 to 22.

Event organisers are claiming this will be the biggest and best games yet, involving 34 different sports including a Masters fi rst, dirt circuit racing.

Other sports include athletics, badminton, base-ball, basketball, cricket, cro-quet, cycling, golf, hockey,

lawn bowls, life ball, net-ball, sailing, clay target and pistol shooting, softball, squash, super rules foot-ball, swimming, table ten-nis, tennis and volleyball.

Away from the games other activities like bush walking and four wheel driving can be undertak-en in the nearby Flinders Ranges, while the region offers fantastic fi shing op-portunities.

And there will also be a range of social events includ-ing a sports dinner featuring

Australia’s Got Talent star The Old Fella and Games Ambassador Mark Davis.

The opening ceremony has a huge fi reworks display and entertainment by Cor-nesy’s 5AA All Star band, while Danny Hooper will be at the closing ceremony dinner.

Registration booklets are available from the Port Pirie Regional Tourism and Arts Centre on 8633 8700 or register online at www.portpiriemastersgames.com.au.

The number of Riverland teams competing at this weekend’s state eightball championships.

It was a terrible mistake and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it ~ Gregg Williams, NFL 03 SPORT

■ From Page 28

He had been engaged for some coaching work at the Gillespie Centre during which East Torrens ‘ Paul Tregloan, who is involved in the management and running of the facility, asked him whether he would play one game for his club as they were short on players.

Duffi eld did and obviously East Torrens offi cials liked what they saw and from then on the 42-year-old has been travel-ling to the city each weekend playing for the club’s C and D grade sides in a coaching/men-toring role.

Plagued by troublesome knees in recent seasons locally, Duffi eld said “the involvement

over last winter and my coaching and playing this season has re-sulted in me losing some weight and being a bit fi tter, so the knees are good”.

So good in fact that he is leading the East Torrens’ D grade run scoring with a top score of 150 and has been one of the rea-sons the team, of mainly 18 to 23 year olds, has qualifi ed for the fi nals.

“But not good enough for me to return to the bowling crease,” he adds quickly.

Duffi eld is impressed by the improvement in the standard of cricket in the lower SACA grades but can see a number of issues are ongoing at A and B grade levels.

“One of the problems is

the experience of a number of the 30-year-olds is being lost when those players head off to turf cricket or to the country,” he said.

On a second occasion, Duff-ield was also in the right spot, at the right time.

“Our game had been washed out and I was back at the centre doing some coaching when un-beknown to me, Jason Gillespie had returned home from overseas and apparently took an interest in things that were going on,” Duffi eld explained.

“As a result, I was invited to act as an assistant to Paul Tre-gloan who will be the coach for the Kuala Lumpur tour.”

Duffi eld is watching with in-terest as the SACA works desper-

ately to improve the Australian cricket scene.

“The Gillespie and Lehmann Academies have now been com-bined out at Thebarton, even though they remain separate in name,” Duffi eld said.

“The new facilities are fan-tastic with six practice nets all 52 metres in length, so there is even room for complete bowlers’ run-ups.”

Duffi eld is obviously enjoy-ing his new challenges.

“It would be great to see some of those experienced guys in Riverland cricket get out amongst some of the smaller clubs and perhaps help to improve the standard and get more teams into the A grade competition,” he said.

■ ROBERT Maywald, Frank Albanese and Trevor Shaddock all had a real day out at last Sunday’s shoot at the Barmera Gun Club.

Frank and Trevor, with scores of 50/50, shared fi rst place in the AA grade of the 50 Target Double Barrel event.

The trio all shot 24/25 to lead the A grade in the 25 Target Continental and Albanese took out the A grade in the 25 Target Skeet with 25/25.

In addition, Maywald won the A grade in the 50 Target Double Barrel with 48/50 and B grade in the 25 Target Skeet with his 23/25, ahead of Shad-dock 17/25.

Other winners included Robbie Robertson in the B grade with 47/50 and Roger Nutt, 42/50 in the C grade of the 50 Target Double Barrel Shoot.

Harvey Nunn and Peter Brister with 20/25 won the B grade and Jim Vithoul-kas with 15/25 won the C grade in the 25 Target Continental.

Brister also took out the 25 Target Skeet C grade with 23/25.

Cycling gains in popularity throughout Riverland

and beyond

Trio top shooters at Barmera■ SPEEDWAY fans have a dou-

ble header this weekend with the Riverland Club racing on Satur-day night and Waikerie Sunline on Sunday.

A highlight of the two meet-ings will be rounds two and three of the V8 Super Sedans Country Series being held with up to 14 cars nominated.

Round two is at the Calperum Hill track and round three is at Sunline, with chat around both clubs that Steve Schwarz is a hot favourite in the events.

However we are warned not to discount the likes of Steve Stewart or Kym Cottrell.

Also at the Riverland meet-ing on Saturday some of the best drivers from SA and Victoria will go head to head in a major event, the SA State Modifi ed Sedan Championship.

Defending champion Vic-toria’s Jeremy McClure will be aiming to defend his title but lo-cal drivers Georgie Higgs, Marty Raams and his son Trevor will have other ideas.

In Late Model class, Adelaide’s

Matt Crimmins will be favoured amongst some more V8 thunder.

There will also be those little winged speedsters in the club’s F500 championship.

In power to weight ratio these cars are really quick.

Junior sedans will be back, while the fi nal event continues to be described as pure madness.

The ever popular Caravan Demolition Derby will again have blokes like Wayne ‘Bluey’ Fennell, James Brennan and Greg

Haynes destroying as much as they possibly can.

Gates at Riverland Speedway open on Saturday at 5pm for rac-ing from 6pm.

At Waikerie, gates will open on Sunday at 4pm with racing to get underway at 6pm.

Sunline’s second meeting for 2011-12 will also feature round fi ve of the Lightning Sprints SA Challenge Series.

With some eight cars nomi-nated it will be tough to beat

super fast duo Kate Weis and Me-lissa Crouch, while local Jason Wilson is one to keep an eye on at his home track.

A good fi eld of Modifi ed Se-dans will feature the much an-ticipated debut of the new Trevor Raams Commodore but look out for Tony Schmidt as he tries to make it two victories from two at Sunline this season.

Andy Maxwell, Callum Mackie and Jaiden Ruhs will again be competing amongst 20 junior cars, while a good show-ing of Street Stocks is again expected.

Once again Sunline will also be showcasing some classic race cars from days gone by.

This time it will be some Classic Formula 500s putting on a spirited demonstration as the drivers have shown that they are prepared to push their machines to the limit.

A back-to-back double head-er this weekend is great news for speedway fans but it will be even better come Easter with a triple header.

Double header speedway events to entertain

■ THERE is an obvious increase in the popularity of cycling as a competitive sport, a social or family activity, or sim-ply as a way of getting fi t.

A Riverland Group ride on Sunday March 25 will cater for anyone inter-ested in taking up the sport for any of those reasons.

This will not be a race. It will be a chance for all Riverland

riders to get together for a day, go for a ride and then sit around at Bella Laven-der afterwards for coffee and cake and to talk about such things as insurance for themselves and their bike.

The ride will leave the Winkie Pri-mary School at 10am.

There will be two groups, one for fast, the other for slow riders and they will cover varying distances.

The ride fi nishes back at the school.Later on Sunday, April 29 there will

be actual racing.The Riverland Cycling Club will

present the 2012 Riverland/Mildura-Coomealla Cycling Club Invitational race using the normal Murtho Road course, which is 50km out and back for seniors and 30km for juniors.

The race starts at 10am and will be from the power substation on Murtho Road, two kilometers from Paringa.

The nomination fee is $10 and with $400 prize money on offer, racing should be fast and furious.

A free barbecue at Paringa Vine-yards, 286 Murtho Road will follow.

For further details on the Group Ride or the Invitational Race, telephone Riverland Cycling Club President Lee Rasheed on 0417 896 559.

Riverlanders to compete at state women’s eightball championships in Renmark■ THE 23rd annual South Australian Women’s Eightball Championships will be held over this long weekend in the Function/Galaxy Rooms of the Renmark Hotel.

Preliminary matches in the 24 team tournament will be held on Saturday and Sunday with the fi nals in the Function Room on Monday.

With one team withdraw-

ing from the event, Riverland, as host region, has taken up the option of increasing its teams in the competition from two to three.

Other entries are coming from across the state’s country and metropolitan areas, as well as from Sunraysia, with some 150 players involved overall.

The competition will com-mence in three sections of eight

teams playing in a round robin format on day one with the lead-ing two teams from each section moving into Sunday when play will decide a top four for the fi -nals on Monday.

Play will run from 8am to 9pm on Saturday and from 9am on the last two days.

This is a tough competition but in 2010 a Riverland team was the winner of this event and

they remain the only local team, male or female, to have ever won an SA title in the sport since the championships were intro-duced.

This is a chance to see some of the leading players from wom-en’s eightball in action and with the competition being played across some 12 tables, there will be good viewing areas available for spectators.

■ IF THE start of local baseball’s major round last Friday night is any indication of the battles for the premierships then some of the most fi ercely contested matches on record are still to come.

In the A grade, we have Barmera Lakers desperate to convert a mi-nor premiership into the title, Berri Warriors equally determined to de-fend their 2010-11 champions’ sta-tus and at the same time to equal Renmark Angels’ record six titles in a row and Angels, of course, are just as determined to prevent them from doing so.

Barmera took one step towards their goal with direct entry into the grand fi nal coming from a victory over Berri on Friday night by one run but only after a titanic seesaw-ing struggle.

They say the game ‘had it all’ and that it was one of the best lo-cal contests in the sport in recent history.

Lakers led 2-0 early but War-riors inspired by Nick Kuhn and Phillip Goldspink clawed their way to a lead in the fourth.

However errors would cost Berri dearly.

The errors aided Barmera get-ting back to a 6-6 tie in the sev-enth, forcing the game into extra innings.

Warriors tried everything, keep-ing star Lakers’ hitter Michael Wade quiet but Tony Probert and Jason MacGregor stepped up in his place.

Heading into the 10th inning, Adelaide umpire Kym Smith was kept extremely busy as players tired and became frustrated but Kuhn’s solo home run gave his side the lead again.

In the bottom of the 10th Berri fell into errors once more and the persistent Lakers took advantage to get home 9-8.

Barmera can now sit back and watch Berri and Renmark slug it out

tomorrow night to decide the sec-ond grand fi nal candidate.

Warriors, without key bat-ter Paul Reid and star pitcher Jed Miller, against Barmera still showed how serious they are about defend-ing their title and equaling Ren-mark’s record.

Angels have made no secret they value that record but to avoid sharing the honour they are going to have to be at their very best.

To the B grade – call in the stew-ards.

In the knockout fi rst semi-fi nal Loxton Wildcats defeated Berri 7-4 after they lost to the same opponent 1-17 only seven nights earlier.

In the second semi-fi nal, Barmera entered a second team into the grand fi nal when they fought back from 0-3 down to win 4-3 against Lyrup Lions.

The Wildcats and Lions meet for a grand fi nal spot tomorrow night and the fur should really fl y.

Lakers stake claim

■ HIT: Lyrup’s Sam Hill hits out in B grade action.

Duffi eld takes on high profi le assistant coaching role with cricket centre

■ FAST: There will be plenty of action at the Riverland and Sunline Speedway tracks this weekend, including the F500 championship racers (above).

OVERSEASOVERSEASCOACHINGCOACHING

By GRAHAM CHARLTON

AS FORMER Glenelg Dis-trict Cricket captain and more recently, Waikerie-Ramco player and River-land Cricketer of the Year Andrew Duffi eld mod-estly puts it, “it has just been a matter of being in the right spots at the right time”.

Duffi eld was referring to his recent appoint-ment as assistant coach of an under 18 team from the Gillespie Cricket Academy in Adelaide that will travel to play against teams in Kuala Lumpur on a 10 day tour from April 12.

Last winter, Duffi eld travelled to Adelaide to

carry out some coach-ing with individuals and with the academy at the centre before starting the 2011-12 season back with Waikerie-Ramco.

However, in Novem-ber last year he made his fi rst appearance in the right place at the right time.
