PENNY DROPS INDROPS INMinister Wong to visit

By BRAD PERRY

FEDERAL Water Minister Penny Wong will today see the region’s water woes fi rst hand when she arrives in Renmark.

The Minister is meeting with irrigators and key government repre-sentatives to discuss water management issues as part of her Southern Murray Darling Basin tour.

Local experts are welcoming the senator to the Riv-erland, with many growers hoping to have questions an-swered.

Senator Wong said she is hoping to gain information about the diffi cul-ties faced by com-

munities along the River Mur-ray.

“I’m looking forward to hearing from a range of people across the southern basin about how we can build on our work to restore health to the Murray Darling Basin, as we deal with the continuing drought and the effects of climate change,” Sena-

tor Wong said.“In particular during this tour,

we will be focused on how best to deliver on our vision for a strong and vibrant future for agriculture and industry in the basin, along with the communities they sup-

port.”River Murray

Minister Karlene Maywald wel-comed the visit by the key Federal Minister.

Minister May-wald said it is im-portant for federal politicians to visit communities to gain a much better understanding of the water diffi cul-ties faced.

“We need more federal politicians to visit to see the plight of the River Murray,” she said.

“It is a good thing she is com-ing to the Riverland.”

Meanwhile, irrigators received more than the expected rise on Tuesday when water allocations doubled from fi ve to 10 per cent.

G’day Riverland

Dear Minister Wong, It is nice that after all of

this time you have been able to visit the Riverland, an economically important re-gion and part of our nation’s foodbowl.

Being a South Australian, we’re sure you have heard all about our woes, so it is nice that you can come and ex-perience our problems first hand.

Please do not be offend-

ed if some of our locals are angry about the lack of ac-tion over the national water plan, or the part being played by governments further up-stream in killing off our once great river.

You see, we’ve been strug-gling through this water crisis for a few years now and have been given very little indica-tion that the river issue is be-ing treated seriously by the Federal Government.

The federal take-over of the basin is barely inching along, while all along the Murray irrigators are being forced out of the industry.

We have a wonderful life-style and thriving commu-nities with their own strong identities but all of those things could be eroded if the situation is not fixed soon.

Yours sincerely, a con-cerned constituent.

A letter to Minister Penny Wong

SEVEN local primary schools were given a boost earlier this week after receiving $7.5 million in the the fi nal round of the State Govern-ment’s Primary Schools for the 21st Century funding.

Amongst the big winners was Waikerie Primary School, which re-ceived a total of $2.5 million for a new multi purpose hall and library refurbishment.

Barmera Primary also received $2 million dollars to refurbish its hall and classroom, while the Riverland Special School received $850,000 for a new library.

Other schools to receive sig-nifi cant funding were Kingston-On-Murray Primary, Loveday Pri-mary School, St Albert’s Catholic School and the Riverland Christian School.

Meanwhile, Riverland primary

schools have begun major projects using the Federal Government’s funding from the fi rst two rounds of the Building the Education Revo-lution program.

Loxton Lutheran School is well into planning a multi-purpose hall with its $2 million funding and principal Terry Sawade said using local builders and contractors is important for the community.

Mr Sawade said having the funds available not only benefi ts the school but the whole Riverland.

“It is something we would have only ever dreamt about,” he said.

“You only get one shot at this and we are looking at producing something for not only the school but all of Loxton.”

Renmark North Primary School principal Peter Hunter also praised the funding.

The school was succesful for $2 million dollars in Primary Schools of the 21st Century funding and

will use the money to construct a new library and building.

“It is a once in a century type opportunity,” he said.

Many Riverland schools also re-ceived an allocated fi gure of money based on school numbers known as National School Pride funding.

With this money, schools were able to use local tools and suppli-ers for such things as making-over classrooms or adding interactive whiteboards.

However, schools in smaller communities are fi nding the weight of hefty fees hard to bear.

Swan Reach Area School prin-cipal Tim Benger said it was great to receive the funding but was dis-appointed with the variability in costs.

“It is a certainty that we will get funding but exactly how much for our wish list items is still up in the air,” he said.

Mr Benger said the school may

have to look beyond the Riverland for contractors due to the short time frame in which the proposed projects must be completed.

“The costs associated with ac-

commodation for out of area tradespeople will be quite signifi -cant,” he said.

“If it comes off to plan, we will be signifi cantly better off.”

By BRAD PERRY

A LOCAL irrigator’s push to have the voice of the Riverland heard on the federal stage may be postponed for up to a year as his coalition gathers support and mo-mentum from around the state.

After organising a successful meeting at Grieger’s sand bar last month, Swan Reach ir-rigator David Peake is planning the fi rst offi cial meeting for a Coalition of River Murray com-munities in September and has been appointed chairman of that group.

Mr Peake said rep-resentatives, including a number of political heavyweights, met at Parliament House in Adelaide last week and decided to host the Co-alition’s fi rst meeting on September 14 at the same venue.

“Anything to do with the River Murray right through to Canberra will be done through the coalition,” he said.

The coalition will be moving along the River Murray over the com-ing months supporting the Lower Lakes Action Group and the Water Ac-tion Coalition, attend-

ing meetings in Mildura, Wentworth and Albury-Wodonga, as well as pro-testing on the steps of parliament in Adelaide and Melbourne.

Mr Peake said a Can-berra visit is still the ul-timate goal but believes the coalition will not meet its initial goal of next month for the visit.

“It (the Canberra trip) may not happen for 12 months but we are planning to get the whole River Murray there in the thousands,” he said.

“We are not just talk-ing about South Austra-lia now but the whole basin.”

A meeting is current-ly being organised for the Riverland in October and Mr Peake is hoping for great support to con-tinue to lobby the Fed-eral Government about the Murray Darling Ba-sin water issues.

Meanwhile, Indepen-dent Senator Nick Xene-phon visited Mr Peake’s property last week and met with several local potato and onion grow-ers.

“It was just to high-light how we are not get-ting any assistance down here” Mr Peake said.

“He has taken on the cause and is on board.”

■ From Page 1

At the same time last year, irriga-tors were only able to access six per cent of their water allocation, before a rise to 11 per cent half way through September.

Central Irrigation Trust chief ex-ecutive offi cer Jeff Parish said he was expecting the allocations to rise but not as far as 10 per cent.

“I was probably thinking eight or nine per cent, so I am really pleased with 10 per cent,” he said.

“We now dare to hope that we get another fi ve per cent next month...every cloudy day brings hope.”

Minister Maywald said there are no expectations on allocation in-creases because it is all dependent on rainfall.

“It is certainly moving in the right direction, which is good,” she said.

“We would like it to be much higher of course.”

Minister Maywald said while River Murray system in fl ows remain low overall, recent rainfall into the catchment in August and snowmelt in alpine areas has helped improve infl ows.

Liberal candidate for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said while he is re-lieved to get an additional fi ve per cent in water allocations, it is still not enough.

“As a citrus grower the addi-tional fi ve per cent will give me about two weekswater in Spring,” he said.

“Being a citrus grower I have already used the 10 per cent, as

would have almond and avocado growers, and I’m relying on carry-over and leased water to keep my trees alive.”

Education fairness

THIS debate continues in South Aus-tralia about equity of access to educa-tion services for our children.

What I fear most is that in spite of all this debate, nothing will change for country families and country stu-dents will continue to experience reduced educational opportunities and outcomes than their city based cousins.

Unless there is a change in politi-cal thinking in this nation.

Education is an important key to

sustainability of country communi-ties

What country families and their communities need is real incentives for teachers to live and work in rural, regional and remote schools in South Australia, a real commitment by gov-ernment to put additional resources into country schools to overcome the current educational disadvantage, and real fi nancial support for all country students who need to leave home to pursue tertiary studies.

The current lack of educational choice is a limiting factor for many

rural and regional families. Does our public education system

provide suffi cient secondary choices for country students no matter where they live?

It’s about time the SA Government carried out a stock-take, community by community, of the education op-tions available to country families.

If we keep on making the same old choices at the ballot box we are surely going to get the same old party hacks, and we will continue to lack the educational choices for our chil-dren.

It is time for country voters to act to ensure that more country community champions stand up in our parliament.

Local heroinesHAVING written a number of factual books, including my last publication Almost Human Dog-gies, endorsed by the RSPCA and distributed throughout Australia; I’m now researching my next work entitled Great Australian Heroines.

There are so many stories out there of women who have acted above and beyond the call of duty, without receiving much, if any, recognition for their actions.

I would be very interested in receiving any information about local ladies from settlement to 1960, who were born before 1940 and who have never been offi -cially recognised yet as “the real quiet achievers”, left their mark through their dedication, kind-ness, or who sadly committed the ultimate sacrifi ce and until today have received little or no thanks, gratitude, or formal appreciation for their actions.

If any of your readers have stories of family members, friends, or know of any wonder-ful ladies within the area whose good deeds, changed for the bet-ter the life of just one person, or the entire community, I would very much appreciate being con-tacted.

Contact me at [email protected] or by snail mail to P.O. Box 2009, Moorab-bin, Vic. 3189.

Pieces of silverCAN you be bought with thirty pieces of silver?

The Rudd government be-lieves so with its offer to only part of the ‘Grey Power’ community, to supplement the self funded re-tirees’ with the ‘silver’.

This he believes, with a twin-kle in his eye, and grin, will make him seem to be the good, caring, Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Rudd, it seems, is only seen on the TV/me-dia when there is good things to promote.

He has not the internal for-titude to be seen when there is ‘doom and gloom’.

He delegates these odious tasks to his ministers, thus Mr Rudd is only seen as squeaky nice.

Unfortunately the self funded retirees miscalculated their needs for the future.

But they accepted the tax breaks on their contributions in the past.

My question is: after the retir-ees have surrendered their super-annuation to create this proposed fund, where will Rudd get the extra billions of dollars to pay for the ‘top up’ and again, who will pay the vast interest bill?

I, and others on the aged Cen-trelink pension, again, get noth-ing. I personally believe if the Rudd scheme goes ahead, all and every self funded retiree must be in it with no exceptions.

Irrespective of who pays the contributions or in what scheme.

Mr Rudd, what will your min-isterial colleagues think of this, with their huge pensions at risk of having to surrender it along with the other ‘perks’.

Mel Smith,

Berri.

ALMOST 100 years ago, the Plush family purchased their property in Winkie for just 20 pounds and from there have seen the ups and downs of life on a block over several decades.

The Plush family was one of fi ve irrigator families on hand to cut a celebratory cake recognising the Berri ir-rigation district’s 100 years.

John Plush, the third gen-eration owner of his Winkie property, said that back in 1914, water rates were 30 shillings an acre and he was amazed at how things have changed over the years.

“It is great to see the chal-lenges that have come along and the massive changes in our lifetime since going from the open channels, when we got water when we were told to have it, as to now with wa-ter on order and computers,” he said.

“I have got some water running at home at the mo-

ment, at 7:55 I got on the computer and ordered it and by eight o’clock I had it running, whereas in the old days we had a meeting and it was plotted out months in advance, irrespective of the climate.”

Mr Plush said adjusting to the lack of available water

for crops has been the hard-est part.

“I think we are sticking in there because we have no choice, I am of an age where you think what do you do other than stay and hope?”

“We have all seen the crops and the ups and downs of the prices before

but the water supply is the one thing we haven’t really had before and that is the one that is hitting people’s confi dence.”

Representing the Wade family, Judy Roberts has spent 45 years involved with the family’s Glossop block and said it was an honour to be at the celebration.

“I have always been proud of the history of the Wade family and I think it is a great honour to be able to come down here and help cut the cake,” she said.

Mrs Roberts said growing up on a fruit block has many benefi ts.

“Living out on (a fruit) property, you are your own boss,” she said.

“I’ve enjoyed it, I have al-ways been brought up on the block and my grandfather, and even on my mother’s side, they were pioneers in Lyrup.”

However, Mrs Roberts has also seen the conditions for irrigators change over the

years.“It has usually been frosts

or mildew or things like that and it is the fi rst time we have had water shortage and it re-ally is bad,” she said.

“It makes you cry when you go elsewhere and you

see water running off roof tops and not into rain water tanks.

“It is a good life for peo-ple and I would like to see our son and daughter remain in the business but it is a worry that it is really out of

our hands unless we get big heaps of rain.”

Representing the Chap-ple family, which has lived in Berri for fi ve generations, June Chapple said it has been a great adventure.

“My father in law came here in 1912 as a single man and he took the land up in 1913 and on our own block there has been fi ve genera-tions in Berri,” she said.

“We have always had good neighbours, everybody helps one another.

“It was a good life on the block.”

Representatives from the Cawse and Fenwick families were also at the celebrations.

Central Irrigation Trust members make it clear that...

Costs forced CIT’s exit

from SAMIBy BRAD PERRY

MEMBERS of the Central Irrigation Trust have cited the ongoing cost of membership as one of the reasons why it terminated its membership with South Australian Murray Irri-gators at last Friday’s annual meet-ing.

Nine out of the 10 districts at CIT’s annual general meeting in Barmera last week supported a motion to cease membership with the state’s number one irrigation body.

CIT chief executive offi cer Jeff Parish said the current tough con-ditions facing irrigators played a role in the decision.

“The members who put up the motion from the Waikerie and Chaffey districts stated that CIT has been cutting staff and costs to keep water prices down,” he said.

“They believe they can ill af-

ford to pay membership fees when growers are doing it so tough.”

Mr Parish believes CIT is cur-rently doing a good job of repre-senting its members and therefore SAMI membership is not needed.

“Members believe CIT is very good at representing grower’s in-terests in water policy and poli-tics,” he said.

“We tend to operate in coffee houses, lifts and corridors trying to infl uence decisions that affect growers.”

Meanwhile, all 10 districts at the AGM voted on a motion in-volving water pricing.

Mr Parish said changes includ-ed going from consumption based pricing to a system introduced by the Commonwealth of mixed and variable costs.

“This also included termina-tion fees in the pricing,” he said.

During the meeting Mr Parish added that with the new changes, irrigators will need to look closely at the way they manage their wa-ter.

“We think in the next year there will be considerable numbers of people selling part allocation,” he

said. “It is just the circumstances we

have arrived at, the change to fi x the variable costs will lift up hold-ing prices and people need that cash fl ow.

“The circumstances will be-come very individual and I think

our growers will re-think water products as you become famil-iar with the changes and I would predict we will see a substantial number of people selling perhaps a quarter of their allocation to re-arrange the water products they have got.”

Banrock Station - MOVING FORWARD

EUROPEAN carp trap trials have proven highly successful in Banrock Station’s wetlands, leading to a rehabilitated breeding habitat for thousands of fi sh and birds.

Conservation and wetland manager Kate Thorn said the two different traps were ex-tremely successful in keeping the pest from re-entering the wetland after last year’s refi ll.

“I think one of the things that is fantastic about this wet-land is how fast the rehabili-tation has been from quite a de-bilitated state in the late 80s and early 90s,” she said.

“ W h e r e you’ve got carp in big numbers, you get really cloudy water with almost no aquatic plant growth and what does grow gets ripped up and that affects all other life in the water.”

Ms Thorn said the carp-free wetland showed some amazing signs of health, with the murky river water’s clarity rating at 45 to 50 per cent out of 100, dropping to two per cent, or practically clear, in the Banrock wetland system.

“With that clear water, we had almost 100 per cent cover of aquatic plants on the bed of the wetlands and that’s an ide-al breeding habitat for small

fi sh and invertebrates and that sort of thing.”

One trap snares the fi sh by having a cage on the other side of a small wall, which the carp jump over, while native fi sh swim under the trap.

“Carp will certainly jump clear of the water and na-tive fi sh just won’t do it,” Ms Thorn said.

The other is a push trap, targeting carp’s strong natural burrowing motion, enticing them to push through a barri-

er of fi ngers and into the trap.

Both types of traps re-corded similar amounts of carp caught, however, a large number were captured trying to get in the wetland’s out-let.

Around 5000 carp tried to gain entry via that route, while another four tried the inlet.

“SARDI were quite blown away by the result,” Ms Thorn said.

She said the organic, clean-er, lower water with low PH levels attracts the carp in really big numbers looking to breed in the warmer water.

“If you can take them out of wetlands and keep them out, it effectively excludes them from breeding in their preferred habitat,” she said.

It’s fantastic how fast the rehabilitation has been from a debilitated state.

Carp traps show stunning results as wetland recovers

WITH the main lagoon at Banrock Station’s wetland now dry since February, positive data continues to emerge during the wetland’s second dry sea-son since the locks were built.

Conservation and wet-land manager Kate Thorn said the natural benefi ts are starting to show.

“We’ve got a whole new young red gum for-est from just raising and lowering the water level,” she said.

“It’s pretty impres-sive.”

The wetland is due for another drink soon how-ever, although Ms Thorn

was unsure when, or even if Banrock will be wet again this year.

“We don’t know at this stage, although we’re really hopeful of getting a small refi ll this spring but that is dependant on water allocations,” she said.

“The fact that it is an internationally list-ed wetland does put it higher on the priority listing compared to oth-er wetlands around the region.”

On the back of an in-credibly dry July and Au-gust, Ms Thorn said there were other environmen-tal worries to weigh up

regarding the wetland’s health.

“We’ve got concern about the wetland, then on top of that we’ve got native seedlings that we planted in May and June that are already desper-ately in need of a drink,” she said.

“We’ve just got to hang in there and know that ev-eryone else is in the same situation I guess.”

Ms Thorn took on the job just after the re-fi ll last year and has been working on revegetation projects around the prop-erty, although dry weath-er is holding up progress slightly.

“We’ve just got to face the reality that we’re not going to have success ev-ery year with our revegeta-tion,” she said.

“We just work on a staged approach.”

It is a morbid busi-ness at times for a green-minded person, with large numbers of trees not making it past the seed-ling stage, with a 30 per cent survial rate around the mark.

Ms Thorn generally looks to the positive angle of the ledger.

“Often it only takes an average year to get a good outcome on reveg-etation.”

PENALTIES for water stealing have been increased by the State Govern-ment.

The maximum fi ne for water stealing is now $2.2 million for corporations and $700,000 for indi-viduals.

Previously the fi nes had been set at $35,000 for individuals and $70,000 for a cor-poration.

“If anyone il-legally takes water out of the Murray, the penalty will fi t the crime,” Pre-mier Mike Rann said.

Penalty hike

By BRAD PERRY

THE everyday work routine of a farmer can be tedious but for Loxton North farmer Ryan Arnold, it has been his two daughters, Ame-lie and Lila, which has made life on the farm all the more interesting.

This Father’s Day, Ryan is cel-ebrating with his family along the Riverland’s lifeline, the Murray.

This year’s special occasion is a celebration of a different kind as it is the fi rst Father’s Day for his seven month old daughter Lila.

“It is exciting...there are other little lives depending on you,” he said.

“You watch them start to grow up and change and all of a sudden these personalities turn up.”

As a child Ryan used to work on his dad’s dairy farm, getting up to milk the cows at 4am.

However, as an adult he has a different routine on his farm, now helping his wife, Rebecca, to feed, bath and change the children in the

While Ryan knows times are tough for irrigators and farmers, he is thankful to be able to continue doing what he loves while raising a family.

“It is a privilege to be able to mix family life with fatherhood and work,” he said.

For Ryan, fatherhood is an excit-ing but challenging experience but he said the rewards are indescrib-able.

“You think it would be the same but it was totally different for our second child,” he said.

“There is something different happening every week.”

Banrock Station - MOVING FORWARD

By LES PEARSON

BANROCK Station is pioneering what vineyard manager Shylo Wil-liams believes to be the future in irrigation farming, sub-surface ir-rigation.

In a large-scale trial, Banrock Station has a quarter of the vine-yard, (about 65 hectares) with sub-surface irrigation installed beneath.

“We’re the fi rst ones to take it on in this scale,” he said.

The original concept has been long abandoned by growers after technical and root intrusion issues were found to hamper the system, making it more of a nuisance than anything.

Not issues any more, according to Mr Williams.

Banrock Station utilises the KISSS (Capillary Irrigation Sub-Sur-face System), an underground pipe installed 200mm under the vines, wrapped in plastic and topped with a unique fi bre textile mat that ap-pears to solve many of the initial problems.

“We can see that with the textile and the science behind it, that bar-rier is stopping the roots from pen-etrating and spreading the water laterally,” he said.

Mr Williams said there are only a handful of contractors that can install the sub-surface irri-gation for businesses and it can be quite time-consuming, tak-ing about four or fi ve weeks to get everything installed for the trial.

He said the trial needed to be big to ensure noteworthy savings on a large scale.

“We needed to have something that is going to have a signifi cant water saving for us on this site and still maintain productivity,” Mr Williams said.

“We want to maintain every-thing we’ve got while using less water.

“This year, a water saving of 20 or 30 per cent is our aim.

“This product seemed the best way to go.”

Mr Williams said Banrock Sta-tion is closely monitoring soil moisture, with probes and gypsum blocks, and preliminary signs look positive.

“For me, I can see we will make big water savings but as to what ex-tent, I’m not sure yet.”

Another reason for the large scale trial was to test the system over different soil types and grape varieties.

“We have over 17 varieties here, so we had to make sure this is going to work over all our soil types,” Mr Williams said.

With the progress and positive signs Mr Williams has seen, he be-lieves sub-surface irrigation could be applied to all irrigation indus-tries.

“Across any industry, not just vines but also almonds and other horticulture areas, they could have subsurface in now I reckon,” he said.

Cost is the real hold up for many, installation set at about $2 per metre, while conventional drip-pers are around the 30 to 40 cents mark per metre.

Mr Williams said the long-term viability of the system justifi es the cost.

“We can’t see ourselves ever go-ing back,” he said.

“We’re always looking at better ways we can do things and this is one big way.”

The funds have been provided as part of the Federal Government’s Veteran and Community Grants Program.

Expressive postcard release

MENTAL health awareness will come to the forefront in the Renmark Paringa Council area from today with the launch of post-cards allowing people to express themselves.

The Postcards Project is a state wide program promoting wellbeing in the community.

Postcards can be picked up from many locations around town, such as the council offi ce and library, and will allow people to anonymously express their deepest thoughts.

Once completed, the postcards can submitted for an exhibition to take place next month as part of Mental Health Week.

Free shower headsHOMEOWNERS are being offered free water effi cient showerheads as part of a State Government promo-tion announced last week.

Water Security Minister Karlene Maywald said the offer allows hom-eowners to reduce water wastage, as well as costs.

“The simple act of replacing old showerheads with water effi cient models can also help save people save money in decreased water and energy costs throughout the year,” Minister Maywald said.

The Loxton Waikerie Council is locked in for a swap program on September 14 to 26.

Workshop for budding writers...NEWS IN BRIEF...

By BRAD PERRY

THE 2010 World Future Cycle Chal-lenge will offi cially be held in the Riverland after the Renmark Paringa Council committed more than $15,000 to the event.

Offi cials and participants will spend two nights in Renmark as part of the deal, in a move which Renmark Paringa Council chief ex-ecutive offi cer Barry Hurst believes will have enormous benefi ts for the district.

“Obviously if we can attract a

large number of people to stay in Renmark for a couple of nights there is an obvious economic spin off on that,” he said.

“If they come here for two nights, they will more than likely spend a lot of money on accommodation and meals.”

Mr Hurst said there will be a full day of events to start the challenge and hopes the worldwide event will gain suffi cient coverage.

“It will generate wide media in-terest, including international inter-est and if we are able to see Renmark

promoted overseas, then there is an obvious benefi t to us from a tourism perspective.”

The proposed event for next year involves seven stages commencing in Renmark and passing through Berri, Loxton, Waikerie, Morgan, Blanchetown, Sedan, Swan Reach, Mannum, Murray Bridge and on to Adelaide.

The proposed timetable includes an overnight stop in Berri and two provisional stops for Loxton and Waikerie, on top of Renmark’s two nights.

SPECULATION about wheth-er the Renmark Paringa Com-munity Centre will close its doors has ended with the Renmark Paringa Council guaranteeing the facility will survive for at least another two years.

Renmark Paringa Coun-cil chief executive offi cer Barry Hurst said while the centre’s immediate future has been assured for now, the long term outlook de-pends primarily on external funding.

“We are getting over $200,000 a year in funding from various sources to pro-vide various programs,” he said.

“The future of the cen-tre will be contingent upon

us being able to continue to gain external funding to run the centre cost neutral, or at a very small cost to council.”

Hosting a number of meetings with key stake-holders, council decided it was in the best interests of the public to keep the centre running.

“It will operate the centre for at least two years to give some opportunity to get it back on track...with the long term aim that it may be able to be taken over by the com-munity in the future,” he said.

“It is providing services to the community that would otherwise not be available or would be diffi cult to access.”

Renmark secures cycling

Council secures centre’s future

CONTINUOUS littering along Industry Road, in Renmark, has prompted the Renmark Paringa Council to introduce a specifi c rub-bish campaign aimed at cleaning up the area.

Renmark Paringa Council chief executive offi cer Barry Hurst said it is a matter of persistence to get rid of the rubbish that builds up on In-dustry Road.

“At the end of the day, we have got to try something and we keep trying different strategies to hope-fully get a good outcome,” he said.

“It has always been a problem for us, Industry Road, with littering from packaging in the retail outlets in that area.

“So we are starting a very simple campaign called ‘Do the right thing’ and we will be putting up some appropriate signage on the rub-bish bins and signs in the problem areas.”

Mr Hurst said council will also be meeting with retail outlets in the area to seek their co-operation in promoting the campaign.

“In some places those outlets have local littering strategies where they manage the litter around the outlets and we will be talking to them about whether there is any

chance of that happening here,” he said.

Mr Hurst said the ‘Do the right thing’ program will also be spread throughout the district at a later stage but the initial con-centration will focus on Industry Road.

BERRI Barmera Council has confi rmed it will drop two councillor positions following the next local government election in November 2010, leaving eight councillors to repre-sent the community.

Council chief execu-tive offi ce David Beaton said the move is becom-ing common amongst re-gional councils.

“There’s a trend to go to smaller councils at the moment,” he said.

“We’ve had the amal-gamation for more than 10 years, so it doesn’t re-

ally need to be that big any more.”

Councils review their elector representation ev-ery two terms, with eight years since the last review was carried out.

Mr Beaton said coun-cillors were receptive to the motion to cut back the number of representatives on council.

“They see the merit in going to eight but some councillors did express some concern about the workload,” he said.

“If there are two less on, that can make it (hard-er) on those who are left.”

Once the change is car-

ried out, it would be an-other four years before the decision can be reversed.

“They could change

it back after the next elec-tion if they found it was too much to handle,” Mr Beaton said.

With less councillor positions up for grabs at the next election, Mr Bea-ton envisages the compet-itiveness for those vacan-cies may grow.

“There’s a possibility with two less positions, and I think it is always competitive when we have elections, but the people are generally pretty good at picking their represen-tatives,” he said.

Mr Beaton said with councillors Les Hill and Bruce Casey amongst oth-ers considering stepping aside next year, the tran-sition may be smoother than expected.

DEMOLITION is expected to begin on the Vaughan Terrace public toilets today to prepare for a new, refurbished toilet block.

Council has contracted local builder Michael Kregar to build the new toilets, which are ex-pected to cost about $200,000.

Council chief executive of-fi cer David Beaton said ini-

tial plans were to have an elaborate structure but those original plans proved too costly.

“They were going to be rath-er unique with sails and that sort of thing but they ended up being too expensive,” he said.

“It’s amazing how much they cost, you could build a rea-

sonable house for $200,000 and some of the quotes that came back were around $300,000.”

In helping keep the costs down, councillors Geoff Higgs and Barry Fletcher are each providing in kind works to the project.

Cr Higgs’ business will help with the demolition, while Cr Fletcher will be assisting with

transport and freight.Mr Beaton said this assis-

tance will help knock between $5000 and $10,000 off the over-all cost.

While the public toilets are being demolished, other near-by facilties can be found at the Berri Visitor Information Cen-tre and at the town hall during working hours.

THE fountain on Barwell Avenue in Barmera has been earmarked for a make over.

In a debate that split council-lors’ votes in half, Mayor Peter Hunt passed the over-riding vote on the motion to install a new fountain.

Council chief executive offi cer David Beaton said while prelimi-nary costings are established, the thoughts from councillors show they believe it is a worthy project.

“It still needs to be costed out and put into a budget, so what they’re (the councillors) indicating is that they think it is a worthwhile project to go forward,” he said.

Prices and building specifi ca-tions will be devised before the is-sue is reintroduced to council for further discussion.

Given the current fountain’s fea-ture piece has continually been sto-len, Mr Beaton said the idea is to re-place it with something that should be there for a while.

“It’s about making something that will last and be there for a rea-sonable period of time,” he said.

He said it is hard to determine exactly when the project will begin, its start depending on the budget impact.

“There’s nothing in this year’s budget but it depends on how big the cost is if we can stretch it into this year’s budget,” he said.

“If it’s a major cost, it will be done next year.”

TAFE interactionLAST Wednesday saw 360 year 10 students from the Riverland partici-pate in a massive TAFE SA open day in Berri.

Students were able to sample the broad range of training pro-grams available to TAFE students in the region.

Staff member Sussan Parkes said the students enjoyed wonder-ful interaction at the event.

“The students got to make pan-cakes, bookmarks, fruit cups and play doh. They also built webpages, fi xed trailer lights and worked out soil pH levels,” she said.

Gone on safariBOOK Week was celebrated at schools across the region last week and a wonderful display enti-tled Book Safari was presented by Monash Primary School.

School principal Brenton Chap-man was delighted by the display, describing it as one of the best he’s seen in a school.

How bazaarUNFORTUNATELY I was unable to attend the 44th anniversary Petti-coat Lane Bazaar last Friday, but I’ve been assured it was a success.

The major fundraiser for Berri’s St Catherine’s Home for the Aged saw $10,000 raised for the cause – a great effort.

Much of the produce on the stalls was home made and a feature of the day was a performance by the Our Lady of the River school choir.

Petticoat Lane Bazaar has been held since 1964 and over $300,000 has been raised for the community in that time.

CWA celebratesLAMEROO’S CWA branch celebrat-ed 70 years of service with a party at the Lameroo Bowling Club last Friday.

A feature of the day were place-mats featuring CWA members and activities through the year, while notes from the branch’s fi rst meet-ing were read out.

The birthday cake featured a colourful image of the club’s head-quarters, and 95 year old member Linda Steer, who was also presented with life membership, fanned the candles.

Members thoroughly enjoyed the day, which included perfor-mances by the Community Singers.

CREATING a unique, tasty sausage is a diffi cult task to master but for one local busi-ness, its sausage making abil-ities have been rewarded with the state’s top honour.

Monash butcher Muller Meats was recently named South Australia’s kings of the lamb curry sausage in the open class at the Austra-lian Meat Industry Council awards.

After winning an impres-sive trophy, owner Daryl Muller said the sausage mak-ers will now turn their atten-tion towards the Australian titles at the Gold Coast early next year.

Mr Muller said it was his own fondness for the lamb curry sausage which made

him enter it into the regional sections of the competition and then on to state wide honours.

“I always quite like them myself and I thought they might do all right,” he said.

“We’ve been selling these lamb curry sausages for 12 months and I decided to put them into this year’s compe-tition.”

The small business has earnt a reputation for creat-ing delightfully, tasty alterna-tive sausage recipes.

“We make a continental one or what I call an Italian sausage and a pork and apple and a lamb curry,” he said.

Customers have been so impressed by the lamb curry sausage that what started out as an experiment is now an award winner.

“People seemed to like it so we kept on making it,” he said.

“I wouldn’t consider it a hot spicy curry but there is a little bit of chilli and pepper in it.”

Mr Muller promises to try and create several new fl avours for his customers in the future and is also hoping to fi nd a unique taste for his mettwurst.

“I would like to get a fi rst prize in our mettwurst, I have played with that a little bit so the judges look more kindly,” he said.

Loxton’s Hygienic Meats also won an award at the ti-tles, taking out the honour of the best Australian barbecue sausage.

Tasting a great Australian dessertADVERTISING FEATURE

AS vanilla slices from across the Riverland are scrutinised and tasted by judges at The Great Australian Vanilla Slice Triumph in Ouyen, Victoria, selected Riverland bakeries are giving you the chance to try the quintes-sential pastry at a special price for tomorrow only.

The Country Bake-house, in Loxton, is of-fering its fresh, delectably delicious vanilla slice and coffee for just $5.

Owner Tim Vivian is calling on the Riverland to come and try the bakery’s version of the vanilla slice, which is up against some of the best from around Australia at the Vanilla Slice Triumph in Victoria.

“It really has put the vanilla slice on the map for The Country Bakehouse.”

For one day only, Tim believes the Riverland should come to the bake-house and be the judge of its freshly baked vanilla slice.

“My belief is that a vanilla slice should have a crisp pastry with a creamy vanilla custard that isn’t too gluggy,” he said.

“Last time we did it (promoted the vanilla slice) we sold nearly 70

vanilla slices and we hope to top that tomorrow.”

Tim believes South Aus-tralia has its own version of the vanilla slice with a chewier style of pastry and a creamier custard on the inside, which is different to elsewhere in Australia.

Mary’s Berri Patisserie will also be hosting a one off special which includes buying a fresh, home made vanilla slice and receiving a coffee for just $2.

While you may think the vanilla slice does not have many versions, it does, and baker John Stone learnt from the very best.

During a trip to Tus-cany, Italy, John took up a cooking course which helped him perfect the art of creating a beautiful custard for the patisserie’s vanilla slice.

“I just adapted the vanilla that I learnt to make in Italy into our vanilla slice and that makes the difference,” he said.

The Renmark Patis-serie and Pieman’s Kitchen both have a large range of different fl avoured slices to choose from as part of tomorrow’s $4 vanilla slice and coffee special.

During a visit from

The Great Australian Vanil-la Slice Triumph committee earlier this year, owners Sal-ly and Tom Komar added three new fl avours to the menu including strawberry vanilla, passionfruit and chocolate ganache.

“They are delicious, look at them, they are out-

standing, they just grab

you, the whole

lot,” The Great Australian Vanilla Slice Triumph com-mittee member Graham McKechnie said.

A $4.50 vanilla slice and coffee will be on offer at the Barmera Bakery tom-morrow, while the Mallee will be represented by the Pinnaroo Bakery which has a $5 vanilla slice and mugaccino deal.

So make a visit to these bakeries throughout the

region and you be the judge on the Riverland and Mallee’s best vanilla slice.

■ WHEN: Tomorrow (one day only).

■ WHAT: Vanilla slice and coffee deals.

■ WHERE: Country Bakehouse, Loxton, Mary’s Berri Patisserie, Renmark Patisserie, Pieman’s Kitchen, Renmark, Barmera Bakery, Pinnaroo Bakery Cafe.

IN its 12th year, The Great Aus-tralian Vanilla Slice Triumph held in Ouyen, Victoria, has been a successful way to promote bak-eries throughout Australia, while helping ignite the taste buds for the delicious pastry.

Professional judges will taste hundreds of slices in four cat-egories, including a professional section, professional novelty sec-tion, amateur section and student section.

The event began by chance for the small town in Victoria’s Mallee region when former pre-mier Jeff Kennett stopped to try a vanilla slice at the local bakery in Ouyen and claimed it was the best he had ever eaten.

From there the event has at-tracted entries from all over Aus-tralia, including several from the Riverland, hoping to be crowned the King or Queen of the vanilla slice.

The Great Australian Va-nilla Slice Triumph committee chairman Mark Wilson, during a visit to the region earlier in the year, said it is a fantastic way for the vanilla slice to build a great reputation.

“It’s a real opportunity to come along and see what they are producing,” he said.

“There is a lot of vanilla slices I enjoy, I wouldn’t single out any one vanilla slice over the other.”

■ I SPOKE to former Riverlander and Syd-ney’s Merrylands Bowl-ing Club bowls secretary Neil Lemmey recently about the nine test se-ries held over four days at his club against the South Australian High Performance men’s and women’s squads.

Neil, who is going to become a Croweater again shortly when he returns to take up em-ployment in Berri, said “the South Australians had surprised the Mer-rylands people a bit, “had done better than he thought they would”

and currently had a “pretty good squad to-gether”.

SA defeated Mer-rylands 67-37 overall, with the men about square and the women winning comprehen-sively.

The tour by the state squads to Sydney was born when Lem-mey met up with the SA high performance manager, former Aus-tralian test cricket fast bowler Jeff Hammond and his assistant Trevor Lloyd at the masters tournament at the Ad-elaide Bowling Club earlier this year.

SA is endeavouring to lift the skill levels of its squads and from these results seems to be on the right track.

Australian squad silver tier member and state skipper Ashley

Klose, who was in the SA squad, is a nephew of local riverland cham-pion Dennis Treloar.

Others in the SA men’s squad were silver tier member and Ade-

laide masters champion Scott Taylor, who could not compete in any of the tests due to injury, and former Australian under 25 representative and current state skip-per Wayne Ruediger

– and lets not forget lo-cal Andrew Hill who is apparently returning to Berri this season after playing in Adelaide in 2008/09.

In the Merrylands

women’s team were former international players, Berry Herbert-son and Arleen Jeffrey (Australia) and Willow Fong (Australia and Fiji), along with NSW representatives Corinne

Crouch and Cheryl Gil-lard.

And in the men’s, premier league, import Trent Healy (Tuggera-nong) and marquee players Brent Norman

(St John’s Park) and Shannon White (North-mead) and former Aus-tralian under 25 Jesse McKenzie – and Neil Lemmey, when he could get away from his secre-tarial duties, featured.

Of interest, no animosity came out of the one meeting be-tween Hill and Lem-mey as their fours match ended up all square.

Also, Neil remarked on the absolute maul-ing he received from SA’s Max Kleinig in a singles match and also highlighted an amaz-ing high quality singles

contest between McK-enzie and Ruediger.

Ruediger, who is the son of present Monash bowler Kym and grand-son of Ron (who rep-resented SA on more than 200 occasions), produced a brilliant backhand draw bowl with the final delivery of the contest to fin-ish all square at the bell.

By the way, Neil Lemmey is adamant that his return to the Riverland will not in-volve bowls – he has of-fered to take me fishing instead.

Charlie looking to an outsider

■ AS this is just about opinions and not based on any scientific research, my stab at the Whillas Medal results; I am stick-ing to the recent trend of favourites to rob each other of votes:

1. Jim Thomson (Waikerie), 2. Dillon Mil-lard (Barmera-Monash), 3. Peter Safralidis (Berri).

Old footy menu■ THE mention in last week’s local Foot-ball Budget of the food from yesteryear enjoyed at Waikerie’s recent 1934 and 1936 premiership remembrances sent me searching recently.

My search bore fruit as I uncovered a copy of a menu from one of Loxton’s end of season dinners from its first few years in the Upper Murray Football Association after joining in 1946.

And talking of 1946, football, of course, was played prior to that in a big way independently in the Loxton region for many years.

While various mentions of the neigh-bouring competition of that time have been made in the Riverland Football League’s magnificent Centenary celebra-tions in 2009, it needs to be remembered that football in the surrounding Loxton district is of course very much an im-portant part of the sport’s history in this overall region.

I know of at least one Loxton stal-wart who is making a study of those early years in Loxton and the near Mallee with his research suggesting some keen rivalry with the UMFA and its clubs.

More later perhaps?Meanwhile, back to that menu – I

imagine it was from 1946, 47 or 48 (as it has John Neuen featured and he was a member of those title winning teams).

• Nude – ole Soup a la Neuen (served without knickers)

• Indian Runner Duck - A la Waechter

• Hot Grilled Freundt Chicken A la Woon

(with green peas – a treat for Joe)

• Tripe (served up by the barrackers)

• Hot Toddy

• Playground Pancakes (happy landing Giff) served with Glaxo, for

Bob, the baby of the team.

• Blow-away sponge Umpires special.

In a round about way, the obviously mischievious document would be refer-ring to speedy wingman Roy Waechter, star players Don Woon, Joe Westbrook, ‘Toddy’ Thompson, Giff and Bob Proud, as well as Neuen.

And of course, the mind boggles at what may have prompted those refer-ences. Hot grilled Freundt chicken asso-ciated with Ben Freundt for example?

It is a all a puzzle. I have heard ru-mours about the menu’s origins...but?

They did better than he thought and currently had a pretty good squad together.

Renmark Two wraps up women’s soccer title while...

Gold carve up Black with Barber’s blades

■ THE inaugural girl’s open soccer premiership has been decided by a nil all draw between Renmark Two and Loxton but officials have de-scribed last Sunday’s virtual grand final as “a fabulous, ex-citing game watched by some very vocal supporters”.

Renmark Two has taken out the pennant finishing on 31 points, followed by Lox-ton (29), Renmark One (12), and Berri (11).

Loxton cre-ated a num-ber of scoring chances near the end of the game but it was held out by Renmark’s Eleni Papageor-giou and goal-keeper Rhian-non Grosse.

Junior pre-mierships went to Berri (39 points), three clear of Ren-mark; under 13 to Renmark Two (39 points), from Berri One (36).

While Renmark Olympic celebrated its senior men’s title with a bye, Berri River Rangers and Barmera Gold went on goal scoring frenzies last Sunday as a warm up for the approaching Top Four Cup.

Steve Atkinson and, with four goals each, Dale Har-wood and Tyson Schrapel spearheaded Rangers to a 12-0 victory over Renmark Development Squad, while Barmera Gold took no pris-oners as it accounted for Barmera Black 22-3.

Martin Barber, 10 goals, and Anthony Ielasi, seven, seemingly conducted goal shooting clinics for Gold.

Encouraged by the popu-larity of the girl’s open competit ion introduced in 2009, a spe-cial camp con-ducted by Ad-elaide coaches will be held at Renmark on Thursday/Fri-day, October 8/9.

All of the players from this inaugural season are welcome – however, all en-quiries should be directed to association president Steve Poutakidis 8595 3205.

This weekend under 11, 12, 14, 15 and 16 boys and under 16 girls teams from the Riverland will be in Port Lincoln competing in the SA Junior Country Champion-ships.

Dogs back to Barmera

■ GREYHOUNDS re-turn to the Barmera track this Saturday after the last meet-ing was transferred to Gawler for TAB cover-age.

The Riverland club continues to at-tract around the 100 nomination mark for its race days.

A bookmaker is track side so that you can take an interest in the local dogs, as well as racing around Aus-tralia.

This is also anoth-er venue where I can vouch for the quality of the catering.

■ THREE local children Callum Morrison, 12, Kyall Morrison, 10, and Annalise Rapson, 11, will be in Gladstone, Queensland, from October 2 for the annual Sho-tokan week.

Members of Kingston-on-Murray instructor Robert Mat-thews’ Riverland Shotokan Club, the trio will grade for their first black belt (1st Dan) and then take part in national competitions.

Achieving black belt status in-volves attending a week of various training sessions with Australian instructors, as well as Hirokazu Kawazawa Kancho, who is 10th Dan and head of the Shotokan Karate International Federation.

At the end of training there will be grading in front of Kancho with black belts being awarded to those that are successful.

Callum, Kyall and Annal-ise will compete in individual and team events at the national competitions after extensive lo-cal training under Sensei Robert Matthews and also involving themselves in extra sessions away from their official schedules.

All three children com-menced karate in early 2007 and have worked their way through

the various gradings and belts.In particular, the eldest, Cal-

lum Morrison, has already won a number of medals along the way, his gold including one gained at Shotokan week in Sydney last year and three at the AKF State titles.

Sensei Robert Matthews and, work commitments permitting, possibly another Riverland mem-ber, Waikerie’s Peter Santella, will be in Queensland with the juniors and will take part in the veterans competitions.

The pair competed in the vet-erans AKF Nationals in Adelaide recently.

Instructor Matthews is pleased with the growth of the Riverland Shotokan club with 25 beginners currently attending training.

Various sessions are held at Berri on Tuesday, Barmera on Wednesday, Waikerie, on Tuesday and Friday, Kingston-on-Murray, Monday, Thursday and Saturday afternoon and Monash, Saturday morning.

Anyone interested in further details should telephone Mat-thews on 8583 0140 or 0418 503 207.

■ OVER 120 visitors from all over the state, Kalangadoo to Eyre Peninsula, Adelaide to Port Elliot, joined 20 locals at another successful annual Renmark RSL and District Bowling club Or-ange Carnival from August 22 to 28.

Many of the visitors have been enjoying the splendid greens, recognised as being amongst the best in the state, at this carnival for more than 20 years and a number stay to participate at oth-er Riverland clubs in the ‘season of carnivals’.

Each of the eight days car-ried prize money and locals amongst the winners of the major purses included the host club’s Ken Knight, who teamed with Port Elliott’s Jenny Wright, Raylene Johnson and Robin Binney in the mixed fours, Ren-mark RSL’s duo Malcolm Inglis and Mavis Elsworthy in mixed pairs and teenager Tamzin Jenke

(Loxton), Dixie Lee and Steve Hume (Renmark RSL) in mixed triples.

Money was spread around the state as other winning bowlers came from Port Elliott, Kalanga-doo, Victor Harbor, Goolwa, Port

Pirie and an Adelaide group call-ing themselves Black Point.

In the main, the Riverland turned on its usual splendid weather for the events, although on one particularly windy day these bowlers did their best to

employ the reverse swing more associated in modern times with their cricketing counterparts.

Didn’t delivering the bowl on the wrong bias once mean the launcher had to buy a jug of beer?

■ A FEW weeks ago we reported on Loxton’s Boxing Australia of-ficial Phillip Goodes intending to take a back seat at his River-land Boxing Club to allow his just retired champion Paul Rose to pursue a career in coaching.

Well, talking to Phillip on Saturday morning radio, he was glowing in his praise of Rose af-ter his appearance in the corner for three of the gymnasium’s promising young fighters at a recent 18 bout tournament at the Waterside Workers Hall, Port Adelaide.

The boxers are now prepar-ing for the state titles on Sep-tember 19/20 at that venue.

As far as their appearance at Port Adelaide was concerned,

12 year old Matthew Wilson produced a strong and skill-ful performance to defeat Ad-elaide’s Marcus Howard, four points to two, over three one and a half minute rounds, in the 46 kilogram schoolboys division.

Bradley Wilson, 18, showed superior fitness over three two minute rounds in the 75 kg ju-nior open division to account for Matthew Bell (Adelaide) five points to four. Wilson had defeated Bell at the Riverland tournament held at Renmark in April this year.

And in his third bout against Mildura’s Ashley Bobbin, 13 year old Ryan Goodes finished level on points 3-3 but was beaten on

a countback by the equivalent of one punch.

These two youngsters have already created quite a rivalry.

In their first meeting on the Renmark program, Ryan won in a split decision.

Then in their next fight the Victorian took the honours by the equivalent of two punches.

Meanwhile, Phillip Goodes, apart from keeping an eye on the emergence of Paul Rose, the coach, is kept extremely busy in his duties as an official with the national body.

Reportedly, Rose has already won an appointment as team manager/assistant coach of the state boxing team bound for Canberra.

After qualifying fi rst for the fi nal, Pfi tzner was the last to complete his run as conditions deteriorated.

Arriving home on Monday and recovering from an ex-hausting trip, Pfi tzner described his moment of anguish.

“It got really rough and pretty windy,” he said.

On his second trick, Pfi tzner struck trouble.

“I just got caught in the wind and didn’t quite get around,” he said.

The resulting fall was dam-aging to his overall score and although he believed he may have done enough in the fi nal run, the scores proved other-wise.

“I knew what I had to do and I thought I might just get it,” he said.

Minor disappointment aside, Pfi tzner said the overall experience was sensational and his preparation could not have been better.

“It was really good,” he said.

“I probably should have been a bit nervous but I do my best when I’m just riding and having fun and that’s what I did.”

Looking ahead, Pfi tzner is hopeful his second placing will earn him a wildcard on to the fi ve-month World Cup circuit.

“Hopefully I get a wild-card…that would be pretty cool,” he said.

Pfi tzner’s father and grand-father also made the trip over to South Korea.

“I think a lot of it has been through the work of Chrissy Eleftheriadis’ strong junior fo-cus on development and a lot of these players playing in se-nior teams this weekend have come from those junior devel-opmental phases,” Ms Shannon said.

“As a club, this year it has been amazing to see the support coming from everywhere.”

The club also inducted three life members recently, including long time servants Di Kearney, Chris Eleftheriadis and Lyn Pin-nington.

Ms Shannon encouraged other netball clubs in the re-gion to focus on a similar

pattern.“Development of juniors is

the forefront,” she said.“We’ve had to build this over

fi ve or six years.”Ms Shannon said with the

backing of a strong commit-tee and senior coaching roles, which also included A2 coach Donna Kitto, the club looks set to continue in a successful vein for years to come.

MEANWHILE, star recruit Tori Jachmann has stormed home to win the Riverland net-ball A1 best and fairest.

Jachmann was an outside chance to win the award, but her consistent performances this season, particularly in defence were duly rewarded with the title.

Renmark defensive veteran Jo Haynes and fellow defender, Loxton’s Sally Wright, rounded out the top three.

NERVES, tension and sleepless nights.

Yes, the Riverland A1 netball grand fi nal is upon us and it is not just supporters feeling the above symptoms.

This is all new territory for a majority of Berri’s squad, while much of Loxton’s unit has tasted premiership glory in recent sea-sons.

Expectations surrounding Berri are high and essentially, this is the one it does not want to lose.

Nor should it.From the outside, the Berri

squad is a good netball team

but look a little deeper and there is a strong friendship structure amongst the squad as well.

This should work to its ad-vantage.

Both team’s coaches are smart taskmasters of the local game.

Chris Eleftheriadis is a bril-liant motivator and the Berri girls respond well to her leader-ship.

On the other side of the fence, Loxton’s Sharona Edwards is a tactical operator with plenty of talent at her disposal.

Starting from Berri’s defence line, Bec Parkinson as goal keep-er and medallist Tori Jachmann in goal defence shape up as for-

midable foes for Loxton attack-ers Tess Dempsey and youngster Amber George.

George performed well in the preliminary fi nal but Parkin-son and Jachmann are two tough cookies for this young rookie to crack.

Into the centre court, Rhea Ward will take on Jackie Dahlitz from the circle, while the height of Michelle Wenman in wing defence will match the strength and experience of Eve Will at wing attack.

The match-up attracting the most attention will be close-wearing defender Carly Wheel-don in wing defence on Berri’s young play maker Kimberley

Wade in wing attack.Both players share a similar

build, with Wade’s sheer pace to test Wheeldon, who rarely lets her opponent out of sight.

Heading into Berri’s attacking goal circle, where Kelly Moore will take the goal attack bib, teamed up with Louise Beech in the shooter’s shoes.

Loxton defender Sally Wright has had a stellar year and teamed up with Leah Fisher, these girls look really tough to beat.

That said, Moore is a star, while Beech has settled into her spot.

It should be a great contest and we’re tipping Berri to win by six goals.

Semi fi nal

Men - Renmark v LoxtonAFTER a long season with just two wins, Loxton goes into this Friday night’s fi nal against Renmark with a sniff of victory after last weekend’s draw.

With Danial Shawyer leading the way, Renmark will be hoping to bounce back for a fi rst up win in the fi nals.

The experience of Callum Benda mixed with the smarts of Jarrett Casey has been a reason why Renmark achieved fi ve wins and two draws during the regular season.

Daniel Fforde has had a solid year in de-fence, while Aaron Weir and Aden Shaw are capable of providing run.

Loxton’s youth have given it some real hope towards the end of the season through skilful players such as Sean Burgess, Aaron Evans, Steven Trezise and Matt Hammond.

Nigel Rutherford and Karl Hennig have been reliable contributors and will need to play well if Loxton is going to win.

We are tipping Renmark to step it up a notch in a tight, low scoring contest.

Berri v WaikerieIT is the battle of the top two teams on the ladder in Riverland hockey and this match up could be a shoot out.

Berri has proven it is the measuring stick this season after fi nishing top but Waikerie ruined its winning streak with a one goal win last round.

Waikerie has had some high contributors on the scoreboard including Ryan Edwards (12 goals), Rowan Hope (14), Lachlan Sea-brook (fi ve) and Tom Wickham (fi ve).

However, Berri’s attack has also proven potent with Paul Santos (seven goals), Fred Vallelonga (15), Brett Stokes (12), Jason Golding (13) and Matthew Baird (16) fi nd-ing the goals.

So this match could come down to who makes the most of their opportunities.

Under coach Shaun Kelly, Berri players Simon Wundenberg, Simon Trimper, reli-able Tony Herbert and Tony Halupka have all gelled well.

Waikerie will look to Rowan and Cam-eron Hope to create the play with their fl ashy skills as they have done all season.

Still disappointed about last week’s loss, Berri will regroup and beat an improving Waikerie by three goals.

Women’s - Berri v WaikerieWAIKERIE’S inability to put a score on the board during the season saw it on the los-ing end more times than not but last round’s draw with third placed Berri offers some hope for a competitive effort in this fi nal.

Under 18 players Merinda McMahon, Catherine Starr and Karina Payne have fi lled key positions for Berri this year and have not disappointed.

For Berri to win, Tamara Gilgen, Kris-ten Hibberd and Aislin Curyer need to hold strong in defence.

Using her skills and knowledge of the game, Karri McMahon (13 goals) is one to watch in attack in this fi nal.

Waikerie has been well served by Brianna Seabrook, Lauren Dutton and Kimberly Ful-wood throughout the season and these play-ers will need to perform.

There is a reason why Berri is fi ve games clear of Waikerie on the ladder and it will win by two goals after a spirited effort early from Waikerie.

Loxton v RenmarkA STRONG team effort during the regular season has left Loxton in good stead to put its fi rst foot forward in the race for the pre-miership cup.

However, Renmark has closely followed Loxton in second place and is capable of up-setting the minor premier.

Talented duo Danielle Weeks and Kate Coden have caused problems for opposition sides and expect nothing less in this contest.

Loxton strikers Sara Jenzen, who has scored 25 goals this year, and young gun Stephanie Baird (13 goals) could be the dif-ference in this match.

With the ever reliable BJ Hammerstein controlling the midfi eld, Renmark will have a hard time fi nding the back of the net.

In an absolute thriller, Loxton should take a step closer to the fl ag with a one goal win.

GRAND FINAL PRELIMINARY FINAL

Armchair ExpertsArmchair Experts

Paringa v WunkarTHE 2009 Independent competi-tion’s two in form teams Paringa and Wunkar lock horns in a bid to raise the much sought after pre-miership cup on Saturday.

Coming off one of the biggest upsets of the year against Cobdogla, Wunkar has built together a strong team unit, led by the exceptional skill and leadership of Howard Duthie Medalist Daniel Evans.

Bulldogs supporters and play-ers, past and present, are desperate to see the side win the fl ag after a 32 year drought dating back to 1976.

However, Paringa has arguably been the best team in the competi-tion for the latter half of the season and easily accounted for Cobdogla in the second semi-fi nal.

The end result of this match will hinge on which team’s midfi eld is more dominant and the match ups of Evans and Sean Gray against Andrew Lloyd and Chris Gardner could be pivotal.

Swans spearhead and league leading goal kicker Anthony Lippis is in top form and the ‘Dogs will need to restrict his leading space.

We were impressed by the way Wunkar rebounded off half back against Cobdogla and the likes of

Chad Staples, Nick Allen, Jason Goodes and Tim Hucks will pro-vide plenty of run this weekend.

The Bulldogs will need to keep a close eye on Paringa hard ball win-ner Dom Portolesi, while Dean Hill has snuck forward to kick several goals over previous weeks.

Shannon Hissey is always dan-gerous in the midfi eld and Brendan King can never be underestimated.

The Swans have many ball win-ners and plenty of recent fi nals ex-perience and the Bulldogs may fi nd them hard to stop if they get a good start.

However, Wunkar is playing a spirited brand of football and work-ing hard to help each other out at

every stoppage.Bulldogs ruckman Shane Schulz

will need to use all of his experience if his side is to get up and could be a key goal kicking option out of the ruck.

The smaller Moorook Oval may suit the game style of Paringa, which likes to go long and direct to gun forward Lippis.

This promises to be one of the most exciting and closely fought grand fi nals in the Independent competition for many years.

We are tipping Paringa to take out the 2009 premiership, to tak-ing control in the third quarter and holding on for a memorable victory.

Karoonda v LamerooTHIS looks like being a fasci-nating match.

Karoonda played a tough knock ‘em down contest against Border Downs Tint-inara last weekend, while Lameroo had a week off after winning the fi rst semi-fi nal.

It will be interesting to see if that scenario has any impact on the outcome of this con-test.

The Magpies have invested a lot of energy into this season, with recruiting starting well before the end of 2008, and will feel that missing the grand fi nal will be a failure.

Lameroo hasn’t had as consistent a season as it would have liked but still is a chance to defend its title.

Karoonda’s midfi eld has been good all season, although Justin Jackson was reasonably well contained in the semi.

If he fi res in this game, along with Brodie Chinner and Jacob Neary, the Magpies will take a major step to victory.

The big task though is for ruckmen Michael Houston and Trevor Wohlfi el to prevent Lameroo big man Ben Grieger from establishing too much dominance around the fi eld.

A best on fi eld perfor-mance from Grieger will see the Hawks get up.

Add his skills to those of Shaun Walker, Hayden Thorpe and Shaun Williams and there will be some interesting battles in the midfi eld.

The other man the Magpies will have to shut down is Chris Philbey, who had a rip snort-ing start to the fi rst semi-fi nal.

He can be hard to stop and can turn a game on its head in a matter of minutes.

It’s going to be a hard ask for the Magpies but we think they will get up – just.

Magpies to swoop on Grand Final

opportunity

Swans tipped to pip ‘Dogs

By BRAD PERRY

WUNKAR’S Daniel Evans created history on Monday night when he became the fi rst player to win the highest honour in both the Inde-pendent and Riverland football competitions.

Evans and Ramco’s ball mag-net Jason Marr tied for the Howard Duthie Medal after a tense fi nal round where Marr secured three votes in the fi nal game to clinch the tie.

With Lloyd and Ramco big man Nigel Hole in close pursuit, Evans and Marr both caught the umpires’ eyes in the fi nal round and could not be split in a high voting medal count.

Both Marr and Evans featured in the top three best players on the ground in nine of the 14 matches.

A humble Evans accepted the medal with praise for his co-winner Marr and his Wunkar team-mates.

“It is a bit humbling...it is a real honour to win the medal,” he said.

“I reckon we have got the goods to do it (win the premiership).”

Evans, a premiership player with Loxton, won the Whillas Medal in 2002.

The fi nal round upset of minor premier Cobdogla, was Evans’ high-light of the season.

After winning the Mail Medal in

2007, Marr also etched himself in the history books as the only Ram-co player to win two league best and fairest awards, having previously been accorded the honour in the Mid Murray competition.

Marr was lost for words when he made a stirring comeback in the fi nal rounds of the count to win the medal.

“To step into a new league and

Evans and Marr share honour

a higher league and to tie with such a great player is an honour,” he said.

“I knew I needed three votes but I was pretty lucky in the game against Brown’s Well, I played somewhere near the best football I can play.”

In just his seventh year of football, after turning from rugby, the hard working ethic of Marr has earnt him the highest of praise.

Lloyd fi nished runner-up with 18 votes, while Nigel Hole (17) and Paringa’s Shannon Hissey (16) both polled well.

In other awards, best fi rst year player went to Cobdogla ruckman

Brad Thompson, while the Barry Wyman award for the colts best and fairest was shared by Brown’s Well’s Blake Milich and Lyup’s Ty-son Lindsay.

Wunkar captain Daniel Ev-ans was awarded best team-man, while Russ Charles from Brown’s Well was awarded junior coach of the year and Arrod Westley from Paringa was named A grade coach of the year.

Veterans Leon Braun, of Brown’s Well, was acknowl-edged for playing his 300th game, while Darren Zadow, of East Murray, ran on to the fi eld for his 400th match during the year.

■ REWARD: Ramco’s Jason Marr (left) and Wunkar’s Daniel Evans (right) were winners of the Howard Duthie (centre) Medal on Monday night.

■ CONTEST: Karoonda and Lameroo will do battle this weekend for a berth in the Mallee Grand Final.

BSR


BSR v Sedan/CambraiBLANCHETOWN/Swan Reach is on its last legs and fi ghting to keep its premiership hopes alive after dominating through-out the season.

The side has everything to lose when it takes on Sedan/Cambrai at Blanchetown Oval this Saturday.

Both sides are fi ghting for a spot in the grand fi nal against Roberstown and one would think this match will come down to the wire.

Sedan/Cambrai had a very up and down season but its late form has been impressive enough to suggest it is a geni-une chance to knock off a BSR side lacking in confi dence.

The Bulldogs’ forward line looked one dimensional in the second-semi, with Jason Rosenzweig unable to make a real impact.

There is no doubt this is the game he must step up.

However, the Sedan/Cam-brai defence led by big man Scott Starkey has been able to restrict Rosenzweig’s infl uence in past meetings.

The Magpies are capable of playing direct football with midfi elders Russell Loffl er Co-rey Redden, and Ryan Johns dangerous.

Simon Noack and small for-ward Paul Burgemeister must kick goals for the Magpies to win, while centre half forward Alex McGorman needs to take plenty of marks.

Watch out for Shane Beck-mann and Joel Grieger re-bounding from defence.

We just cannot see BSR letting this opportunity go to waste after consecutive years of fi nals experience.

Experienced on ballers Ja-son Oliver and Grant Beau-mont will be very important in helping BSR’s cause.

Young Ryan Schiller has added pace off the half back line and full back Clinton Griffi ths will make it hard for Simon Noack to get a kick.

Ruckman Simon Mattner has returned to form, while Dale Payne looks a really strong player of the future.

The game will be won in defence, with BSR holding tight for a three goal win.

WE don’t like to blow our own trumpet too much but The Armchair Experts were right on the mark with our prediction that Robertstown’s Jarred Mos-ey would win the Mid Murray’s Mail Medal.

Mosey polled 23 votes to clearly win from Blanchetown/Swan Reach’s Dale Payne (17) and Sedan/Cambrai’s Ryan Johns (12).

It was a big weekend for Mosey, with his team knocking BSR over in Saturday’s second semi-fi nal to go into the pre-miership decider.

The Wally Herrmann Medal for the B grade best and fairest was won by BSR’s Craig Lind-ner (18) from Sedan/Cambrai’s

Bradley Willis and Bulldog Mi-chael Nitschke, both on seven votes.

The under 17 medal went to BSR’s Sam Sobey (24) and the under 13s medal was won by Shannon Tanner, of BSR, on 35 votes.

The best fi rst year A grade footballer award was won by Robertstown’s Kurubyn Floyd.

Coaches of the year were Robertstown’s Peter Burman (senior) and BSR’s Peter Zadow (junior).

Meanwhile, Morgan/Ca-dell’s Mick Dreckow (400) and Robertstown’s Greg Kotz (300) were recognised for major games milestones.

Renmark v WaikerieIS this game the war of the wound-ed?

Both teams showed signs of niggling injury issues last week but make no mistake, this one will be a physical encounter.

Still smarting from last season’s devastating grand fi nal loss at the hands of Mark Ricciuto, Renmark will want revenge on the Magpies who are struggling to overcome a rough patch of form over the past month.

If the Rovers can mimic their fi nal half from last week for four quarters against Waikerie this week-end, they should come out on top.

Renmark fi elds a versatile team of players, with the likes of Pete Dempsey, Mick Townsend and Har-ry Beavis all capable at either end of the park.

Simon Callahan continues to cut teams up and hasn’t been tack-led properly since birth.

While his disposal is questioned by many, Callahan’s decision mak-ing and creativity is at times impec-cable.

Waikerie would be well and tru-ly aware of this by now and wheth-er it tries to either shut him down

or counter Callahan’s infl uence will affect the outcome.

What Waikerie does have is some star potential at its disposal.

Matt Gibson can tear games apart but does go missing at times.

A big game from him would do Waikerie the world of good.

Young Tim Bevan has given his all on the wings and fl anks but the consistent efforts appear to be com-ing from the same people of late.

Aron Bland’s season is expected to be over, requiring knee surgery.

Ben Venning’s form of late hasn’t been match winning but he is an honest contributor who will need support from the half forward line.

This one really depends on which Renmark team shows up, be-cause if Waikerie gets half a sniff, it will run away with it.

The Rovers were labelled as the team to win it early in the season and since then have been labelled every name under the sun, except a good team at the end of the day.

This is the week it can change that opinion.

This is the week it can play for one another and show its support-ers that Renmark is a good team, rather than a team of good players.

A loss here would effectively rule this year as a missed opportu-nity for Renmark.

A loss for Waikerie would be hard to accept but one that really signifi es a team that has peaked at the wrong time.

There is pressure on both squads.

Whichever deals with the expec-tation best will win.

We’ll go Renmark to win with a team building momentum into the big one next week.

MORE history will be made this Monday night at the Berri Resort Hotel when the 2009 Whillas Medal count is held.

It has been another tumultuous season for many, with injuries and star recruits all having a major infl uence.

We’ve established a mock market we have de-vised for the award.

The obvious early fa-vourite is Loxton’s Pete Smith.

Smith smashed 55 goals this year, coupled with countless best on ground performances to really announce his ar-rival to the RFL.

At $1.30, he is no cer-tainty…but just about.

Late injuries and rests in some games may be his biggest enemy.

Second favourite is fellow Tiger Leigh Kruger.

Kruger is generally loved by the umpires with his silky play and coura-geous leadership.

He would be Smith’s biggest threat.

Team-mate Nick Uren is traditionally over-looked, so his price of $9 probably doesn’t repre-sent his great year.

Renmark’s Simon Callahan is a genuine chance at $5, setting up play from the back line and consistently rack-ing up disposals each week.

His performances in losing matches may also win votes.

Fellow Rover Adam Bryant is next in the mar-ket at $7.

He had a great year

last year, with only injury cutting him short of what may have been a Whillas Medal.

B a r m e r a - M o n a s h youngster Dillon Millard is a personal smoky at $7.50, while team-mate Jack Selfe at $12 has also had a stellar year, al-though whether he caught the eye of umpires might be another question.

Berri’s best shot will be captain Peter Safrali-dis and last year’s win-ner Dean Storic, whose rucking efforts through-out the year might draw more votes than many expect.

Loxton North’s hope-ful will be Josh Nelson, who has been brilliant across the backline in a team that struggled in 2009.

The longest journey begins with a single step, not with a turn of the

ignition key.~ Edward Abbey

Kia has announced a small run of a Limited Edition Cerato with features valued at $1200 being of-fered to customers at no extra cost for a limited time only, and drive-away pricing from $20,990 with fi ve-speed manual transmission or $22,990 with four-speed automatic transmission.

Based on the well-equipped Kia Cerato S Option Pack, the limited edition model adds 15-inch fi ve-spoke polished alloy wheels fi tted with 195/65 R15 tyres; a chromed version of the ‘Schreyer’ corporate grille penned by world-renowned Kia global design chief Peter Schreyer; and high-quality tailored front and rear fl oor mats, all for no additional cost.

In addition to the $1200 worth of extra equipment at no extra cost to customers, the Limited Edition Kia Cerato is fi tted with all the standard features that have caused a number of Australia’s leading motoring journalists to view the all-new Cerato at its launch in January this year as the best car ever to be built in Korea.

Standard equipment includes air-conditioning; remote audio controls (steering wheel-mounted); cruise control; powered and heated door mirrors; power windows (front and rear); keyless remote central locking; MP3 compat-ible CD player with power bass; auxiliary input (for external audio

device); USB audio input with iPod compatibility; repeater lamps on door mirrors; and speed-sensing auto door locks.

The all-new Kia Cerato is powered by a 2.0-litre Theta II CVVT petrol engine producing a class-leading 115kW of power and 194Nm of torque, mated to either

the smooth-shifting fi ve-speed manual or Sportsmatic four-speed automatic transmission.

Cerato delivers an offi cial combined fuel economy of 7.8 litres/100kms, meaning a manual Cerato is capable of travelling more than 660 kilometres on a single fi ll of 91RON unleaded fuel.

With an Australian Govern-ment Green Vehicle Guide rating of 4.5 stars, the new Cerato is one of the ‘greenest’ vehicles in the small segment, emitting just 186 grams per kilometre of CO2 with the manual gearbox (187 g/km for the four-speed automatic) despite being the most powerful vehicle in

its class. The Limited Edition Kia Cerato offers the same traditionally low running costs as the rest of the Cerato range, with the confi dence of a comprehensive standard unlimited kilometre/fi ve-year warranty package for private users (fi ve-years/130,000kms for busi-ness and commercial users).

Kia’s limited edition model hitting the Riverland’s roads

■ LIMITED: Kia’s limited edition Cerato has many features that will excite the new owner.

Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.

~ Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) in Back to the Future.

First we stuff the Murray, then we move on to the Cooper Creek. That seems to be the philosophy of the cur-

rent Queensland Government. The Cooper is considered the last free fl ow-

ing water system in Australia. Cattle fattening country and pristine wetlands in the far north could be under threat if dormant water licens-es along the Cooper Creek are reactivated.

And what will these water licenses be used for?

You guessed it, the world’s biggest user of agricultural chemicals, the cotton industry.

When fl ooded, these properties will leach the chemicals back into the system and then fl ow on into South Australia. Thanks Premier Bligh.

On a trip across the Simpson Desert, we ventured east along the Eyre Creek for 80 kilo-metres and camped at one of the many water-holes along the water course.

These water holes are an important refuge for aquatic organisms, wildlife and stock.

“These habitats are completely dependent on surface fl ows because there is no groundwa-ter connection,” Professor Stuart Bunn, director of the Australian Rivers Institute, said in a recent Stock Journal ar-ticle.

“If the fre-quency of the fl ows is dimin-ished, or the duration of dry spells is in-creased because of extraction upstream, then they will disap-pear,” he said.

“If these go, so does the wild-life and every-thing else that depends on them.”

Although the volume of water associated with these licenses is unlikely to affect fl ood fl ows into Lake Eyre, it is these waterholes right throughout this country that will cease to exist, along with all wildlife and associated activities.

Not to mention the majority of profi ts from this toxic industry will also go straight to their US fi nanciers.

The above mentioned licences were never used but also never cancelled.

South Australia will work to ensure that any proposed changes are scientifi cally as-sessed and that an environmentally- sustain-able result is achieved for the whole system.

This must be very reassuring for the cattle properties as they watch with interest and wonder if the Lake Alexandrina and Coorong disaster will be replicated in their backyard.

It is no wonder that the Coongie Lakes, just above Innamincka, are a RAMSAR (The Con-vention on Wetlands of International Impor-tance, especially as waterfowl habitat) listed site.

One of my favourite trips is via Milparinka, Tibooburra and up the Bore Track to the Coo-per Creek.

Anyone who has camped on the banks of Cooper Creek will understand the unique beauty of this country.

Following in the footsteps of Sturt and Burke and Wills to arrive at this magnifi cent place is an adventure that surely must rival most in Australia.

Let’s all hope that the adventure will still be there for our kids to enjoy and not a poi-soned wasteland.

Please save the Cooper

Anyone who has camped on the banks

of the Cooper will understand.

“To arrive at this magnifi cent place is an adventure that surely must rival most in

Australia.”

■ ENDANGERED: Beautiful scenery such as this on

the Cooper Creek could be under

threat if dormant water licences are

reactivated.

The group is now planning its full length release hav-ing spent time in the studio.

Now the group is spreading its wings even further, head-ing west for its fi rst Riverland gig.

Off The Han-dle will play at the Renmark Hotel tomorrow night, with popular fellow Mildura outfi t Super Turtle.

Super Turtle is well known for its fun, cover versions of popular songs and is sure to have every-one partying on the night.

City Homicide8.30pm, WIN TVWatched a full episode last week and was reasonably impressed.

This week, the focus is on dorky and average actor Shane Bourne’s character Stanley Wolfe.

He is somehow connected to the deaths of three people.

The team want to stand by their Sarge, not sure why, he’s a terrible actor.

The Spearman Experiment7.30pm, WIN 10These guys keep telling me that it is the show I voted for.

No it isn’t.

Unless you actually drugged me and made me vote without my knowledge, there is no way I voted for this show.

I want a recount of the votes.

I know my rights.

Jamie at Home12pm, WIN TVPommy celebrity chef Jamie Oliver explains how easy it is to grow your own produce, sometimes in weird and wonderful ways.

The problem is, he always grows ridiculous food and cooks it in ridiculous ways.

Like double glazed eggplant with sauteed pomegranate.

Me, Myself and Irene9.50pm, WIN 10Classic movie and possibly Jim Carrey’s best work.

The late timeslot doesn’t justify its quality but such is life.

The scenes where he fights himself are golden, although the fact he is trying to crack onto Renee Zellweger’s character is quite unbelieveable.

World’s Greenest Homes6pm, ABC 1I grew up near Darke Peak, a remote town on Eyre Peninsula known for its ‘green’ homes.

No matter how hard I looked though, no homes were actually green.

This show more or less profiles ecologically ‘green’ homes, known for their energy efficiency and the likes.

Crows v Bombers8pm, WIN TVCrows fans will be amped with the news Matthew Lloyd will miss this one after his minor collision with Hawthorn’s Brad Sewell.

Half of the Essendon team is either suspended or on good behaviour bonds this week, so if Adelaide lose this one, I’ll be launching an official inquiry into match-fixing in the AFL.

Viewtubewith LES PEARSON

The 7pm Project7pm, WIN 10I don’t understand this show’s concept.

Sometimes it talks about real news events, while others it goes on about parody news skits and the likes.

Make up your mind 7pm Project.

I bet you’ll be more confused than a 15 year old in a dress, dancing to Britney Spears’ Hit Me Baby One More Time in front of the mirror.

■ RUBBED OUT: Matthew Lloyd will miss this Friday’s contest with Adelaide.

A CHANGE of names, new band members and a move from cov-ers to originals has proved worthwhile for Mildura band Off The Handle.

The Mildura Battle of the Bands winners are growing in stature as their musical tastes develop and more gigs are booked.

Starting off as Carpe Diem, the band was a four piece, which was soon down to three members.

By early 2007, the band had made its debut at the well

known venue Setts.Playing just three

songs, which in-cluded one original, punters heard a new, likeable sound.

Now a four piece again, following the addition of a bass-ist, Off The Handle has extended their set list and is kick-ing on hard with some great original sounds.

A band that likes to party, Off The Handle has a sound that anyone who likes rock music will enjoy.

Answers: 1. Parrot; 2. Carlton; 3. Toasted sandwiches; 4. Wunkar and Paringa; 5. Cheetah; 6. Darth Vader; 7. Sir Robert Menzies; 8. False – Berri and Loxton; 9. Ukraine; 10. Australian Crawl; 11. A sow; 12. The Komodo dragon; 13. The size of earthquakes; 14. True; 15. Work; 16. Mount Kilimanjaro; 17. Bel-gium; 18. Russia; 19. 1981; 20. False - Domino’s.

Trif’s Triviawith CALLUM TRIFONOFF

MALLEE residents will be in guitar heaven when the ac-claimed shows per-forms in Lameroo next Wednesday night.

SHOT AT HISTORY

13 teams Berri Netball Club teams gear up for...

■ WITH A CHANCE: Berri Netball Club’s A1 and A2 squads will be part of the club’s record 13 teams playing in grand finals this weekend. Photo: LES PEARSON

HISTORY has already been made at the Berri Netball Club, irrespective of results this week-end, with the club represented in the grand final in all 13 of the Riverland Netball Asso-ciation grades it has nominated for.

Club president Mary Shan-

non is ecstatic with the way the season has panned out.

“There’s certainly some his-tory there, absolutely,” she said.

Last night, the club had a photograph taken to recognise all of the history making mile-stone.

Mrs Shannon said the club is out to break Renmark’s record of eight premierships in one season

set in 2003.Berri’s A1 and A2 grades

have defeated its grand final opponents earlier this season, while the A3 and B2 grades are undefeated heading into the final.

At junior level, the 15A and 15C1 teams also look good chances, undefeated this year.

“There are some real hopeful

chances with those undefeated teams, while we have some sur-prise packets there as well,” Mrs Shannon said.

Mrs Shannon believes the club’s focus on junior develop-ment over the past few seasons has ultimately led to this season’s success.

RENMARK wakeboarding prodigy Ryleigh Pfitzner is a world champion after the Australian team took out the internation-al title at Chuncheon, South Korea, last weekend.

The Australian team knocked off teams from the United States and Italy to claim the title.

Individually, Pfitzner finished an un-lucky second in the junior men’s division, falling just two points short of his Japa-nese opponent following a fall on his final run.


■ CHAMPION: Renmark wakeboarder Ryleigh Pfitzner was part of the Australian team that won the overall teams category at the Wake-

boarding World Championships in South Korea.
