SPECULATION over the future of the Riverland Renaissance has ended, with the Riverland Wine Industry Development Council announcing the event will go ahead as planned in time for its traditional October schedule.

The RWIDC is organising the

renaissance this year including the much anticipated Riverland Wine and Food Festival, which is being run in collaboration with the Berri Barmera Council.

RWIDC general Manager Shay Mc-Quade admitted preparations for the event are running late but said it has been given the green light to go ahead after uncertainty over its future.

“There were doubts early on be-cause a couple of people who were instrumental in delivering this had moved out of the district,” he said.

Despite concerns for the event’s future, Mr McQuade said all the ma-jor sponsors are on board and expects the three week wine and food show to be very successful.

G’day Riverland

FOR me, today is a sad day as no longer will Lyn Johnson be my boss.

Lyn is moving to Adelaide to take her next career step and will be missed by those at the Riverland Weekly and also the wider community in general.

Without Lyn’s vision and passion, the Riverland Weekly would not exist and it would not be operating in the suc-cessful fashion it is today.

It was Lyn’s energy and

committment to a massive task that saw the creation of this newspaper.

It was her broad contact base that enabled her to get the support of all the right people.

And it was her wonder-ful, bright nature that took the Riverland Weekly into the hearts of readers so quickly.

She has been a wonderful ambassador for this newspa-per and has developed some

great relationships with share-holders, staff and readers.

Lyn moves on to other projects, leaving behind a flourishing business provid-ing our region with an alterna-tive news source and employ-ment.

We’re sure Lyn and hus-band Mick will be back in the future - the Riverland’s like that.

Until then, from the bot-tom of my heart, thanks Lyn.

A bittersweet day for the Riverland Weekly

CONSTRUCTION works began at Chambers Creek on Monday to help secure the future of Lake Bonney by preparing for a partial refi ll of 26 gigalitres of water.

Lake Bonney Management Committee chairman Mike Fuller said the environmental water will be delivered to the lake via two box culverts and is pleased work has begun at the site.

“It is good news for the Barmera community and the lake in particular,” he said.

Barring any hiccups, Mr Fuller said the 26 gigalitres will start fl owing into the lake on August 24 and estimates it will take around 50 days for the full allocation to fl ow into the lake.

Earthworks began on the cof-fer dam construction this week and the base slab and aprons are expected to be prepared next

week.The following week, the

culverts will be placed with the construction of the wing-walls to stop erosion and a carp cage should be added shortly after.

Construction on the Cham-bers Creek site is expected to take almost a month. Mr Fuller said the refi ll indicates the govern-ment realises the importance of Lake Bonney to the Riverland.

“It is always a positive step

forward and it indicates that the government is committed to keeping Lake Bonney viable dur-ing the drought,” he said.

“We are extremely lucky that the government has the capac-ity to look after Lake Bonney the way they are.”

Mr Fuller hopes enough water is available to keep providing 26 gigalitres to the lake for the next fi ve years as proposed.

“We can only keep our fi ngers crossed,” he said.

Young singing stars raise their voicesBy BRAD PERRY

STARS have been born at the Riverland Primary Schools’ Mu-sic Festival this week with more than 450 children showing off their talents in front of hun-dreds of people at the Chaffey Theatre.

Spanning over three nights, children representing 25 River-land and Mallee schools have had their chance to impress on stage.

Muiscal Director Mary Ged-die, who has been associated with the event for the past 12 years, said a lot of hard work has gone into preparing for the event and the children have been spectacular.

“The performance on Tues-day night was fantastic and ev-erything went really well,” she said.

“They (the kids) are abso-lutely loving it and they are hav-ing a great time.

“The crowd starting clap-ping away to Nutbush City Limits.”

In its 13th year, Mrs Geddie said the music festival is a bril-liant concept for the Riverland and Mallee.

“It is the highlight of their year and mine,” she said.

“I absolutely love it with a passion.”

Mrs Geddie also praised the work done by the organis-ers and those involved with the festival.

“It is not just one person who puts it together,” she said.

Riverland Primary Schools’

Music Festival regional co-ordi-nator Anne Chase said the chil-dren have really shone during this festival.

“Last night they were very excited and happy,” she said.

“It is a little bit scary for those who have got solo parts but they have risen to the occa-sion,” she said.

Composer John Schumann was in the audience for last

night’s performance as the festival choir sung four of his songs.

The festival will wrap up with a fi nal performance tonight.

■ From Page 1“The sponsors have come on

board and the Berri Barmera Coun-cil have been very supportive in terms of their physical support on the ground as well as fi nancial,” he said.

“This is all about, I suppose, a feel good event for the region where we actually go and showcase the food and wines from here.”

With more than 2000 people at-tending the food and wine festival last year, Mr McQuade is confi dent of another strong turn out, despite the economic climate.

“There are probably one or two events less this time round than there probably were before,” he said.

“Bear in mind the times are rea-sonably tough and people don’t have the funds to go out three or

four times a week over two and a half weeks.”

Mr McQuade said the late organisation of the event will not be a problem.

“We are probably realistically only three or four weeks later than we should be but given that the ma-jority of the consumers that turn up on the day are locals, that is not re-ally a major issue,” he said.

With the winegrape crisis, Mr McQuade believes it is an oppor-tunity for locals to showcase the quality food and wine that can be produced in the region.

“It is an opportunity to have quality food and wine and have a good time with a bit of a positive spin on the region,” he said.

Berri Barmera Council chief ex-ecutive offi cer David Beaton said the Riverland Wine and Food Festival is

an important event for the region.“Council has been involved with

the event for a long time and want it to continue,” he said.

“(This year) it is more of an alignment with the industry and the event.”

While not all events for the three week festival are fi nalised, the Riverland Renaissance will kick off on October 2, with the Riverland wine show awards dinner at the Renmark Hotel.

Murray River Queen dinner cruises will occur throughout the renaissance and Ruston’s Roses will also be holding food and drink events during Rose Week, which will be held around the same time.

Chefs on the Murray will occur on October 15, with the Riverland Wine and Food Festival ending the festivities on October 17.

Whatever you’re trying to prove isn’t doing much to change anyone’s mind. Don’t keep wasting your time or your breath. They need to grow up before they’re able to see that what’s going on here is a good as it gets.

TAURUSAPRIL 21 - MAY 20

Multiple options have dwindled down to nothing. You can agonize over this or you can scan the horizon and beam in on what’s left. It’s defi nitely time to regroup and fi nd another way to make things work.

GEMINIMAY 21 - JUNE 20

You have too much going for you to be sacrifi cing yourself for this. Open your eyes! Love doesn’t mean putting up with anything. Whatever you’re doing here, it’s working better for others than it is for you.

CANCERJUNE 21 - JULY 20

It’s time to be realistic about what you can do. Don’t commit yourself beyond a certain point. Getting real could involve letting go of a lot of excess baggage. This will include people who suck you dry.

LEOJULY 21 - AUGUST 20

The better it gets, the better it gets; you’re living proof of that expression. Somehow in just being yourself things have started to come together. Remaining true to what’s real for you will keep it fl owing.

You’re not so sure about this anymore. Too much has changed, and time has revealed more than you want to see. Whatever this is about, it’s hardly worth the effort it will take to keep it going.

SAGITTARIUSNOVEMBER 21 - DECEMBER 20

Between a rock and a hard place your choices have faded to nothing; or so it seems. At times like this solutions are easier to come by if you’re willing to beam up and ask your guides to show you the way out.

Subtle hostilities call for a little distance in your relationships. All this bickering gets you nowhere. A dose of detachment will show you both what you’re really mad at - and it isn’t each other.

MORE than 200 Riverland ir-rigators applied for the Federal Government’s Small Block Irri-gators Exit Grant before its June cut off date but local experts be-lieve an extension of the pack-age is needed.

Rural fi nancial councillor Max Baker said while there is no guarantee all those who ap-plied will accept the exit grant, he believes if the offer was still available many more would take it up.

“There are probably more people out there now that would like to apply,” he said.

“We have had some enqui-ries that people would like to extend and have the opportu-nity to apply.

“(However) from what we have been told, it is unlikely it will be extended.”

Mr Baker’s main concern was a mass exodus of growers from the industry.

“If too many people leave the industry at once, it has a huge impact on the commu-nity,” he said.

“It is going to leave very scarred land right across the Riverland.”

River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald said if the grant was made available again, there are a number of areas that need to be reassessed.

“I think a lot of people, who were making decisions

about their future, were put off from exploring the exit grants because of what they perceived as complexity in the applica-tion process and concerns with things like termination fees,” she said.

“The number of people who would otherwise have applied was reduced because of those complexities.”

“I think the Federal Govern-ment should have a review of the success of the program and do some solid research into why and why not people were not successful in accessing the grant if they applied, or why people who thought about it, chose not to apply.”

Experts call for exit grant extension

■ INPUT: River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald beleives further assessment will be needed if the

extension is granted.

End of an era for the Weekly as...

Lyn leaves her legendary legacy

■ WILL BE MISSED: The Riverland Weekly’s inaugural manager Lyn Johnson has ended her tenure with the organisation.

TODAY begins the end of an era for the Riverland Weekly, with general manager Lyn Johnson fi nishing in her role after two years.

Mrs Johnson, who founded the paper with the support of local shareholders, has resigned in or-der to move to Adelaide to further her career and be closer to her two adult sons Mark and Peter.

She leaves behind a strong lega-cy, with a fl ourishing newspaper in a very competitive market.

“The Riverland Weekly has cred-ibility and is a very strong publica-tion,” Mrs Johnson said.

“I have been humbled by the popularity and success of the Week-ly.

“I’m extremely proud of what we have been able to achieve for this region, not only for business, but the community as a whole in such a short period of time.”

The Riverland Weekly’s fi rst pub-lication was on December 6, 2007, with a staff of seven.

Under Mrs Johnson’s guidance,

the business has grown to 13 staff and the Riverland Weekly is now a member of Country Press SA and has been successfully audited by the Circulations Audit Board.

Mrs Johnson feels it is time to move on to allow the newspaper to develop further.

“I can see that the Riverland Weekly is well on the way to being an extremely successful publica-tion,” she said.

“It’s time for someone else to take the reins and bring new ideas and promotional concepts to a very professional and talented team.”

Mrs Johnson will be taking on a role with a highly regarded media communications agency and will be joined in the city by her hus-band Mick.

“With tremendous sadness, I depart the Riverland Weekly…it has been an interesting ride to say the least,” she said.

The Riverland Weekly is currently searching for a sales manager to re-place Mrs Johnson.

What they say about Lyn:

Phil Rosenthal (Shareholder)“Lyn was a cornerstone of

putting the Riverland Weekly to-gether and just had a marvellous passion for the paper. Its success to date is thanks to her.”

Jeff McDonald (Shareholder)“Some people live in their

own little worlds and there are others who have a ‘go’ and Lyn is one of those people. What she has achieved with the Riverland Weekly is fantastic.”

Rob McLean (Editor)“The Riverland Weekly has

been lucky to have someone with so much energy, integrity and vision to get this paper off the ground. The foundations Lyn laid will ensure this organisation is around for many years.”

I have been humbled

by the popularity and success

of the Weekly.

FRIENDS of the PS Industry chair-man David Nattrass is calling for Riverlanders to help stop vandalism of the historic paddlesteamer, after a recent spate of attacks.

In the past month, four fi re ex-tinguishers have been misused or thrown overboard as the vessel sits in its dock overnight, causing more than $500 damage.

For the group, which volunteers its time to keep the region’s icon afl oat, any damage may temporar-ily stall other works to upgrade the PS Indusry.

“I think it is disappointing that people get pleasure in vandalising other people’s property,” Mr Nat-trass said.

“Maybe their time would be bet-ter used coming to volunteer for the group instead of vandalising.”

Mr Nattrass said two of the fi re

extinguishers were thrown over-board by the vandals and were spot-ted fl oating down the River Murray.

“Generally we have enjoyed a very good safety record at that spot,” he said.

The latest vandalism comes af-ter a boat trailer belonging to the paddlesteamer was pushed into the river two months ago, causing mi-nor damage.

Mr Nattrass hopes the local community can keep an eye out for vandals and report any suspicious activity near the PS Industry after hours.

“We are currently investigating some sort of security,” he said.

Friends of the PS Industry is still seeking volunteers and anyone is invited to attend its annual general meeting at the Renmark Hotel, Au-gust 19, at 8pm.

BY CREATING a unique high fashion style, Berri hairdresser Jaye Brand competed admira-bly in the state Hair and Beau-ty Comptitions in Adelaide this week.

Up against more than 30 competitors from across the nation in each of her catego-ries, Ms Brand took out third place in the senior cut and high fashion colour areas.

However, it was her unique outlook towards her haircuts that earned her a placing.

“It is not something you would see on the street, it is very high fashion,” she said.

“To win you have got to do something a bit out there.”

Ms Brand works at Cindy’s Hair and Beauty in Berri and was proud to be placed so highly in the Hair and Beauty South Australia awards in her fi rst year.

“It is pretty good for some-one from the country,” she said.

“It was really unexpected.”

SWAN REACH irrigator David Peake is calling on organisations to support his quest to take a bus fi lled with lo-cal growers to voice concerns on the federal stage.

After a recent article in the Riverland Weekly, Mr Peake said many people are talking about the protest but none have committed at this stage.

“It has not been fantastic but we haven’t done any campaigning yet,” he said.

“It might not even get off the ground, now it is up to the will of the people.”

A sponsor from Adelaide has al-ready offered to help and Mr Peake hopes Riverland organisations will get on board.

“If I can get some support from organisations in the Riverland, we can get the ball rolling.”

Mr Peake plans to hold sausage sizzles in the region to talk to people and help the campaign gain mo-mentum.

At this stage, Mr Peake said he hopes to get a group together to turn up to Canberra uninvited in Octo-ber.

“We want people who are look-ing for answers rather than talk,” he said.

“We need to put the river fi rst (and) we have got to tackle this as South Australia.”

He also hopes to gain support from Riverland councils.

Mr Peake said four prominent politicians are coming from Adelaide to meet with him and any other in-terested local irrigators to talk about the low water levels.

He recently put a challenge to Agriculture Minister Paul Caica to visit the region.

“The response from his offi ce was ‘why are you the only one that is complaining?’” he said.

AN IRON sculpture of the Flannel Flower, the national symbol to promote aware-ness of mental health, was unveiled in Berri yesterday.

Rainbow Connection, the Mental Health Activ-ity and Resource Centre, received $1000 in funding through Country Health SA with which four mem-bers constructed the sculp-ture out of iron.

Country Mental Health executive director Mike Melino, who unveiled the sculpture outside the Berri mental health facility, said the Flannel Flower is an ap-propriate reminder of men-tal health and illness.

Rainbow Connection volunteer Julie Wilksch said the beautiful sculp-ture is a reminder that the resource centre is always there to help.

“It is open to anyone who is on the journey to re-covery and people can just come and drop in and have a tea or coffee or just a chat if they want to,” she said.

Mrs Wilksch said three white rose bushes had been planted by members of the general community in memory of loved ones and the sculpture is to en-hance the signifi cance of those rose bushes in a vi-

sual way.“Rainbow Connection

felt they (the rose bushes) seemed a little bit lost in our garden... so we decided to build the sculpture.”

The plaque underneath the sculpture reads: “Dedi-

cated to the members of our communities who con-tinue to struggle and live with mental illness, their carers and those whose lives have been lost through the tragedy of mental illness”.

AG ART Wear is a new competition being in-

troduced to the fi eld days this year.

Entrants will make gar-ments, guys or girls, from materials actually used on the farm or block.

The style of garment can range from casual to formal and is limited only by the imagination.

The garment must be able to be worn and there-fore, made to a size.

Entries will be on display at the fi eld days, where they will be judged.

The competition

started at the New Zealand National Field Days about 10 years ago.

Since then, it has be-come popular at fi eld days in Australia.

It is creative, colourful and a lot of fun.

An AgArt wear display of garments created last year, is currently showing at the Berri Public Library.

A video of the 2008 New Zealand entrants is also showing.

Entry forms are avail-able at the library, or from visitor information centres.

The AgArt Wear competition co-ordinator Krysty Leibich, of Waikerie, is keen to see as many entries as possible.

There is no cost to enter.

Queries can be made to Krysty on 8543 2238 (after hours) or Tim Grieger 0409 099 122.

Entries must be lodged by August 21.

The Field Days are very pleased to have Vaughan’s Shoe Store & Sewing Centres – Berri, Renmark and Loxton, sponsoring this event.

Field days’ new compA DV E R T I S E M E N T

Locals support “IT’S a life changing experience to go and work in a place like that.”

Like many Australians, Berri cou-ple Ian and Kaye Campbell were so touched by the devastation and hu-man tragedy which was carved into the national psyche by the Victorian bushfi res earlier this year, that they headed east to help resurrect the communities involved.

The Campbells travelled to East Kilmore, joining many other regular Aussies working with the Blaze Aid program to replace fencing that was destroyed in the fi re.

By no means young, the Camp-bells decided that by becoming in-volved in a physically demanding project they could contribute to the resurgence of a struggling commu-nity.

“We decided we were fi t and healthy and could do something to help,” Kaye said.

“There’s something special about doing something person to person.

“It was a wonderful feeling to go over there and volunteer.”

Tough work■ JOINING other volunteers, the couple tore down old fences and installed new ones in their place for four weeks.

Among those who spent time there at the same time were Ian’s brother Ern Campbell and his wife Lois, also from the Riverland.

It was tough, unforgiving work in territory that was not for the faint

hearted in places where vehicles can-not gain access.

All of this work, done on sloping terrain, was completed by hand.

It is no wonder the Campbells were exhausted by day’s end and were ready for bed by 8pm.

“It’s bloody hard work,” Kaye quipped.

The average working day started

at 8.30am, once the volunteers had reached their work site, and fi nished at about 4pm.

Many volunteers continued to work for as long as there was still light in which to do the job.

After returning to the Blaze Aid compound each day, the volunteers would get together and discuss their daily experiences.

Environment& Heritage

MATTERS

THE Riverland fl oodplains re-quire fl ooding to maintain a healthy ecosystem.

Prior to river regulation, a large fl ood event occurred in the lower Murray (below Wen-tworth), on average, every two to three years and this would provide water to the majority of fl oodplain communities.

Flooding of this magnitude has not occurred since 1993.

A fl ood kick starts a boom of new life, encouraging plant re-growth and regeneration, nutrient cycling and stimu-lates breeding events for birds, fi sh and frogs.

Floods also provide critical connectivity between fl ood-plains and the river.

The SA Murray-Darling Ba-sin Natural Resources Manage-ment Board (SAMDBNRM) is working in partnership with the Department for Environ-ment and Heritage to install major infrastructure at three important fl oodplains along the River Murray in South Aus-tralia.

The aim of this is to achieve signifi cant environmental ben-efi ts, through environmental watering, across the landscape at Chowilla, Katarapko (part of the Murray River National Park) and the Pike Complex.

Through the Murray-Dar-ling Basin Authority Living Murray Initiative, the SAMDN-RM is managing the Chowilla ecological watering program, which includes a major pro-posal to construct an environ-mental regulator across Chow-

Communal feeling■ IT is these sessions after a day’s work that allowed Ian and Kaye and the other volunteers to refl ect on the magnitude of the tragedy they were dealing with.

“We had no idea what to ex-pect,” Kaye said.

“We had seen it on the tv…

but we couldn’t properly imagine it until we’d seen it.

“It was clean, black ground under black, dead trees.”

Tears were shed regularly as the volunteers recounted the de-struction they had witnessed.

“When you work together in that kind of fairly emotional situation, you grow really strong

bonds pretty quickly,” Kaye said.The volunteers were also reg-

ularly in contact with the victims of the bushfi re.

It was not easy to talk about the tragedies that had been ex-perienced, but occasionally one of the victims would reveal their story.

It was not something you asked about though.

You waited for the locals to share, if they felt the need to dis-cuss their harrowing experiences.

The volunteers had to show a high level of discretion.

“We were entering into their grief and we would not even take pictures of these people,” Kaye said.

“Even if they were happy and smiling we didn’t take their picture because we felt we

were intruding.”

Work continues ■ WHILE there are some volun-teers on hand to continue the work, it will be a long time before the project is complete.

Since Blaze Aid began, around 400 kilometres of fencing has been erected, however, the sheer size of the job at hand is placed into perspective when estimates show that there are still over 3000 kilometres to go.

Kaye and Ian are keen to go back and contribute some more.

She said, “it was a troubled place but there is also plenty of hope”.

Planet Ark gets kids planting trees

LOCAL school children will again be involved with Planet Ark’s National Tree Day in Berri tomorrow.

Organised by the Berri Lions Club, it is the sixth year students have planted trees along the Lions Walking Trail, on the Berri riverfront.

Lions Club member Terry Kearney said previous plantings have a 50 per cent survival rate, with some trees af-fected by a lack of water.

However, Mr Kearney said the event is still an important project.

“Whilst we have to replace some 200 trees, Tania Kearney from Trees For Life has propagated some 400 trees for this year’s tree day and so we will be able to extend our planting,” Mr Kear-ney said.

The planting session will kick off at 11am, with a barbecue at the Berri Caravan Park from midday.

Ruston honoured with award

RENMARK rose expert David Ruston has again been honoured for his contribution to the worldwide rose community.

Mr Ruston received the prestigious President Emeritus Award for his work with the World Federation of Rose Societ-ies at a conference in Canada recently.

The President Emeritus Award is a rare accolade, having initially been given to past Royal National Rose Society and World Federation of Rose Societies presi-dent Richard Balfour, who died earlier this year, resulting in the award transferring to Mr Ruston.

Meantime, a local group is continu-ing work towards erecting an artwork in Renmark to refl ect Mr Ruston’s contribu-tion to the Riverland and rose commu-nity.

It is hoped the structure will offi cially be opened at the Renmark Rose Festival in October 2010.

Eleven businesses making a point of difference!


By BRAD PERRY

ON THE back of a small business tax incentive, local car sales have surged, with car dealers predicting the boom to continue right through until the December cut off.

Over the past year, the global fi nancial crisis has signifi cantly af-fected new car sales, so the 50 per

cent investment allowance for small businesses has stimulated the local car dealerships.

Under the tax incentive, small businesses are able to claim a bo-nus tax deduction on the cost of vehicles acquired before December 31.

Rosenthal Motors co-owner Jim Rosenthal said June was the best

month on record.“June was a record month for

us,” he said.“That (the tax incentive) has

been a big help to us.“It was certainly a lot more

(sales) than we expected.”Mr Rosenthal encouraged those

thinking of purchasing a new vehi-cle to make use of the offer.

“Any business with under two million dollars in turn over can take advantage,” he said.

Big River Toyota dealer principal Sav Sarro agreed that recent months have been better than expected.

“It has certainly been one of the best Junes in a long time,” he said.

“May and June were as busy as I have seen it in many years.

“It is really obvious the invest-ment allowance has kicked in.”

However, Mr Sarro believes the next few months could be a bit qui-eter, with another rush before the tax incentive ends in December.

Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries fi gures show it is not only the Riverland recording high sales

but also the rest of the country.June became the third high-

est selling month on record with 102,847 vehicles sold, while busi-ness purchases were up by 12 per cent on the previous year, with the sale of utes, vans and light trucks re-cording a 26.9 per cent increase.

INDICATIONS of a warmer and drier August, September and October have been announced in the Bureau of Me-teorology’s latest Seasonal Climate Outlook.

“Generally it (the outlook) is giv-ing an indication of lower than average rainfall and warmer than average con-ditions being a little more likely across the period,” Climate Services senior meteorologist Darren Ray said.

However, forecasters are still un-sure if the dreaded El Niño weather pattern, the likely cause of dry, warm conditions, will have an impact.

“The situation is a complex one at the moment with an El Niño that has developed in the Pacifi c and this usu-ally means below average rainfall in SA,” Mr Ray said.

“But this can be moderated mark-edly by Indian Ocean conditions and there are mixed indications from the Indian Ocean, as well the development of this El Niño not being typical.”

With this news, there may just be some hope on the horizon.

Mr Ray said the bureau is working on providing a more accurate seasonal outlook using upgraded technology for further feedback.

“The bureau is continuing to devel-op improved seasonal forecasting tools through the Predictive Ocean Atmo-sphere Model for Australia (POAMA) ocean-atmosphere model, currently in experimental mode,” he said.

“This is also part of global season-al forecasting multi-model ensemble efforts and this extra information pro-vides some useful insights on top of the latest broadscale Seasonal Climate Outlook release.

“The latest release indicating Au-gust, Spring and October rainfall will most likely remain near average over SA, despite being slightly more likely to be below average.”

“Also, the warmer conditions, which the latest Seasonal Climate Out-look indicates are more likely across the three month period, are more like-ly towards the end of the period like late October and into November.”

Main Street Markets and

published them in a book.

By BRAD PERRY

IT started out as an idea to attract people to the re-gion and bring the com-munity together and now the success of the award winning Barmera Main Street Markets will never be forgotten with the re-lease of a new book.

Known as the Pink Ladies, Julie Krollig and Gail Kohlman are proud-ly showing off the newly published book through-out the Riverland, remi-niscing on the highs and lows through a series of photos and reports from 2002 to 2007.

“A lot of people have said ‘why on Earth haven’t you put together an expose that will show people what the market was about’, so we decided what we would do is put (one) together,” Mrs Krol-lig said.

“All you would have to do is talk to anyone with-in the Barmera township, or region, and the 5RM Barmera Main street Mar-kets were actually known not only state wide, re-gion wide but also within Australia.”

Held six times a year, the markets feature many stalls and entertainment,

something which the Pink Ladies made sure to highlight in their book.

“Our market was ac-tually a market with at-titude, it was a different market,” Mrs Krollig said.

Mrs Krollig and Ms Kohlman have put to-gether some memorable anecdotes in the book.

“The fi rst market, I don’t think we slept in the week leading up to it,” Mrs Krollig said.

“The second market, where there had been a power fl ick overnight, so all the sprinklers came on, that was really excit-ing.

“Our wish for when we fi rst started the market was that we would actu-ally have 25 sites and 500 people and we ended up with 30 plus sites.

“We wanted to make it a market for people to remember,” Ms Kohlman said.

The market is current-ly run by the Pink Ladies’ successor, the Pink Bloke.

“We are actually go-ing to wait for the Pink Bloke to do something like this at the end of his fi ve years,” Mrs Krollig laughed.

The Pink Bloke’s OpinionTHE Community Market at Rocky’s Hall of Fame/Pioneer’s Park has been accepted by the people of Barmera so well it has ex-ceeded my expectations by far.

Even now I still get people telling me every week how much they appreciate the market being there and how they go to each of the stalls and spend, just so the stallholders will keep coming.

As a rough guide, I count the number of customers every 15 minutes, discount-ing those I have seen in the previous count and so far we are averaging around the 450 to 500 people every week.

Now that might not sound much to you but in a town the size of Barmera, that is a better than average percentage of the population that make the effort to come to the market every Friday morning.

Trust me, lately we have had some shocking mornings but they still come.

I have it on good authority (a couple of hundred times) the stallholders have good quality produce at the right price, we have a certifi ed organic grower that a lot of peo-ple buy from, plus some craft people that fi ll that need for just the right gift, a pet food supplier who makes his own product and has a good following, and we even have a lovely lady selling jams, pickles and orchid fl owers, all in a good casual family atmosphere.

Why does it work? Buggered if I know, it just does.

I have to give credit to the Berri Barmera Council, I would not have got it off the ground and without its continued support, the people of Barmera wouldn’t have the market (although rubbish bins are a bit light on the ground but you can’t have it all).

The stallholders and the people of Barmera should be proud of their ongo-ing commitment to the market, without it there wouldn’t be one.

I can proudly say community spirit and community pride are alive and well in Barmera, if only we could get it through-out the Riverland.

DOCUMENTING 100 years of family history can be a bit of a mountain to climb but for the Evans family of Mantung and sur-rounding districts, they have ef-fectively reached the summit.

Leanne Parker, of Maggea, and a close-knit committee has committed some 12 months to the cause and now the fi n-ished product is heading to the press.

Mrs Parker said time has liter-ally zipped on by but it was still a big effort.

“It has really fl own between our fi rst meeting and now,” she said.

“There hasn’t been a day go by where I haven’t done some work towards it.”

The book Evans Family His-tory 1840-2009 celebrates the 100 years the family has been farming in the Mallee region, after making the move from greener pastures just outside of Adelaide.

“I don’t know whether they made a wise move in coming out here,” Mrs Parker laughed.

The 250 page, hard covered book follows the bloodline of John Evans, who arrived in Aus-

tralia in 1840.The family tree then branches

out into a bundle of stories that have accumulated over 100 years in the region.

Mrs Parker said she is proud of the end product, although mildly disappointed with some areas of the book where infor-mation was scarce and hard to source.

“I don’t know if you can ever be fully satisfi ed and I would have liked to have taken some areas further but overall I’m fairly hap-py with it,” she said.

She said from the stories that emerged from the early pioneer-ing years and the hardships faced, she developed a real sense of ap-preciation for what her family has achieved.

“You do realise how easy our life is today compared to back then,” Mrs Parker said.

The book will be launched at a huge family reunion arranged for the October long weekend, where hundreds of relatives will descend on the small community to celebrate.

“We’re looking at getting around 200 there, so to have that many would be fantastic,” Mrs Parker said.

LOCALS are hoping the boat ramp facilities at Swan Reach are upgraded as soon as possi-ble before the weather warms up and water sports begin again.

Swan Reach Progress As-sociation member Graham Barlow said the boat ramp is-sue has been on the agenda for some time.

“At the moment they have put down a temporary boat ramp but at the end of that, it drops off quite steeply,” he said.

Currently, the Mid Mur-ray Council is applying for funding through the South Australian Boating Facilities Advisory Committee and is seeking planning approval

for a new ramp. Mid Murray Council chief

executive offi cer Dean Gollan said council is optimistic of receiving funds for the proj-ect and said it is looking very positive at the moment.

Mr Barlow said low river levels and a lack of or current ramp facilities has taken trade away from the community.

“The little caravan park has certainly missed out on trade because there is no suit-able boat ramp,” he said.

“We have got the sand like a beach, a lawn area and we just need a new boat ramp to use.”

On the Mid Murray Council website, it advises the Swan Reach boat ramp is suitable for four wheel drive and tilt trailers only.

Local hopes for boat ramp upgrade to get under way soon

■ HOPEFUL: Swan Reach locals are hopeful a new boat ramp facilitty will be installed soon.

Show society eagerly awaits building completion

Council helps with pavilion funding

■ SITE: The site where the new Pinnaroo Show pavilion will be built after storms destroyed the old one in late 2007.

By LES PEARSON

THE Southern Mallee Council has granted the Pinnaroo Show Society a $40,000 loan to complete the funding gap required to build a new show pa-vilion.

The storms of Decem-ber 2007 left the 90 year old pavilion in a wreck and the decision was made to start from scratch, according to show society president Giles Oster.

“It simply wasn’t fi t for repair,” Mr Oster said.

“We boarded it up to

prevent further damage and had a look at what direction to take.

“We weighed up all our options and decided that to rebuild on to what was left there was not vi-able.

“We decided a leaf of history and tradition had to be pulled down.”

Mr Oster estimates that the pavilion would have been some 90 years old, with different parts added over the years.

The new building is costing about $85,000.

Mr Oster said getting

near that fi gure was al-ways going to be tough.

“The insurance pay-out was nowhere near the amount required to cover it,” he said.

“Costs have also blown out a fair bit be-cause of building codes and the likes, being a public facility.

“These sorts of things usually take time and don’t happen overnight.”

Along with council’s support, Mr Oster said the show society will be looking for help from the community to help meet

the cost.“We always do it and

they have been very good to us in the past,” he said.

The society could only source an expensive solution to the missing pavilion for last year’s show, hiring a marquee at around $6000.

“It wasn’t a long term option for us,” Mr Oster said.

The new pavilion is ex-pected to be completed in time for this year’s Pinna-roo Show, on Wednesday, October 7.

THERE are few things that can shatter a personal or business reputation more than being

embroiled in a high-profi le tax investigation.

Anyone contemplating, or already involved in, dodgy tax practices should consider the risk they are taking.

Businesses or individuals who abuse Australia’s tax system by en-gaging in tax crime, place an unfair burden on the majority of Austra-lians who do the right thing.

As a result, the penalties for people convicted of tax crime are severe.

Conspiring to obtain a fi nan-cial advantage by deception and money laundering carries maxi-mum penalties of 10 and 20 years imprisonment respectively.

Penalties can also include heavy fi nes and, on top of that, courts generally order offenders to pay the taxes they owe.

Data MatchingSOURCES of information for the ATO’s data matching programs include: ■ Employers, labour hire fi rms, building contractors and Work-Cover authorities;■ Industry registrations, profes-sional associations and various licensing bodies; ■ Land, real estate and property-related sources, including titles offi ces, planning authorities and tenancy agreements; ■ Government agencies, includ-ing the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and; ■ Banks and other fi nancial insti-tutions, the Australian Securities Exchange, share registers and man-aged investment funds.

Investigation Case StudyMs Y was married to a partner in a restaurant business which em-ployed a number of staff.

Ms Y was responsible for the business’ bookkeeping.

The takings of the business were a mix of cash sales and credit card transactions.

Information received by the ATO indicated that the business was paying cash wages not record-ed in the pay books for the staff, as well as cash purchases being made from the till.

There were also allegations of a second set of records for the business.

Initial compliance activity has identifi ed that not all cash sales were recorded in the books of

account.Being suspicious that fraud

offences might have been commit-ted, the ATO sought the assistance of the Australian Federal Police to execute search warrants to obtain evidence of the potential offences.

The execution of the search warrants identifi ed a second set of records prepared by another per-son for a four-week period in one fi nancial year.

These records indicated sales in excess of those recorded in the books of account that Ms Y pro-vided to the tax agent to prepare the income tax returns.

An audit and an investigation were carried out concurrently.

The audit identifi ed that for the period covered by the second set of records, the percentage of cash

sales was signifi cantly higher than for the balance of the fi nancial year.

Ms Y maintained that the cash not banked was used to meet ex-penses that had not been claimed as deductions. A review of the busi-ness records indicated that there were, indeed, cash expenses but they were signifi cantly less than the additional income that was not recorded in the books of account provided to the tax agent.

Amended assessments were issued based on estimating the percentage of cash sales, compared with credit card transactions from the second set of records for the full fi nancial year.

Allowance was also made for additional cash expenses based on the gross profi t margin that applied

to the second set of records. A review of prior year returns

also showed that the percentage of cash sales was lower than the percentage in the second set of records.

Amendments were also made for the previous years for which records were available.

The behaviour of the taxpayer was considered to be an intention-al disregard of the tax laws and a base penalty amount of 75 per cent of the tax shortfall was imposed plus interest.

At trial, Ms Y was found guilty of fraud offences.

She was sentenced to three years’ jail, with a minimum of 12 months to be served.

Sound business managers will simply not take these risks.

ATO steps up tax fraud investigations

■ HONESTY: The old saying of “honesty is the best policy” certainly is true when it comes to businesses or individuals fi ling their tax returns, with severe penalties being enforced on those who try to manipulate their fi gures.

THE Orange Grove subdivision is located near Peppertree Hill

and has easy access to the town centre and primary school in the Berri west precinct.

Civil works for the fi rst stage of 14 lots will be com-pleted by the end of August and therefore buyers wishing to build immediately will have access to their blocks by about August/September this year.

Four lots have been sold and building on these lots is expected to commence as soon as possible.

All the lots in this fi rst stage on Phillips Road have a minimum frontage of 20 metres and overall minimum size of 600 square metres.

These lots will suit many styles of homes that are available from the builder’s designs.

The lots are reasonably level, which will assist with saving costs on site prepara-tion, meaning you will have extra money to put towards the building and/or fi ttings.

All lots have excellent rural views.

The lots are all serviced with underground power, water and the common effl uent sewerage connects to the new infrastructure recently completed by the Berri Barmera Council for the Berri west area.

This subdivision will be-come one of the most sought after locations in Berri as the total development will

eventually boast 144 lots over several stages in the next few years.

Priced from $82,500, in-cluding GST and rear fencing to each lot, the opportunity for all buyers wishing to build a new home (and par-ticularly fi rst home buyers) is here now in this fi rst stage.

Liberal settlement terms are available, if required, from developer Berri Devel-opments Pty Ltd.

The developer is keen to consider sensible offers on these last remaining lots in stage one.

So take advantage now and save money today.

For all purchases and enquiries ring Angelo Kalivis on 0412 897 265.

EVER wanted to save water, money and time when installing synthetic

grass and always have that lush looking lawn without the associated hassles?

Riverlanders Maureen and John Sullivan are now your local distributors for the Australian made Synthetic Turf products.

Synthetic Turf products offer a selection of the latest high quality grass that can be used over concrete, paving and bitumen or timber for almost

every sporting or recreational situation.

It is perfect for use around the family home, swimming pools, schools and playgrounds, apartment complexes, caravan parks, retirement homes, restau-rants, auto dealers and anywhere else you may fi nd lawn.

Synthetic lawn is ideal for all sporting surfaces, such as netball, basketball and tennis courts, golfi ng greens, as well as soft fall surfaces.

Unlike the older carpet style

grass, the new synthetic grasses feel very similar to a natural lawn and offer many years of hassle free use.

With a seven year guaran-tee and life expectancy of 20 years, Synthetic Turf is very cost effective and provides seven good reasons to swap the hassle of caring for live lawns to syn-thetic grass:

• Always looks good;• No water required;• No maintenance;

• No mowing;• No pesticides;• No ongoing costs;• Cost effective.

"The new synthetic lawns are the way of the future," John said.

"With drastic water restric-tions, the rising cost of water and fuel, caring for living lawn is going to always be a drain on the hip pocket.

"Synthetic lawns, once they are laid, are cost free as there is nothing to do but sit and admire

the lush green turf."There are no more problems

with drainage - in fact, the syn-thetic grass, installed properly, has more drainage than natural grass.

Fading is also not a problem with an expected life span of 15 to 20 years.

What about pets? They are not a problem,

with animal faeces easily re-moved with a shovel and urine washing right through, not unlike natural grass.

Riverland Weekly journalist shares his house purchasing experiences

Securing home loan no walk in

the park

GETTING a home loan is certainly not an easy process but the end re-sult is extremely rewarding.

As a fi rst home buyer, my ex-perience applying for a loan took time and could have been helped if I had pre-approval (something I new little about).

I decided to ap-ply for my home loan through a mortgage broker, who helped me fi nd a number of differ-ent banks, loan op-tions and how much I could bor-row.

I found it very important to fi nd the right loan option for me, with the lowest possible interest rate.

Many banks have introduc-tory rates, which can save a bit of

money.The fi rst thing I found I did not

know is that generally you need 10 per cent of the total loan in sav-ings and with the current fi nancial climate, most lenders now require those savings to be kept in an ac-count for around three months.

I found the fi rst home buyers grant a saviour, as it paid for the majority of my fees and advise any-

one eligible to take advantage of that.

Many people do not realise that stamp duty is quite a large sum and with mort-gage insurance on top of that, you may fi nd your loan a bit bigger than you initially an-ticipated.

So it is important to save up as much money as pos-sible to account for any extra fees.

Once you have applied for the loan, which takes a chunk of pa-perwork, the next option is to de-cide whether you would like it to be a variable or fi xed loan.

I drew on past family experi-

ences, where a relative had fi xed their loan and then the interest rate dropped leaving them paying the loan at eight per cent, rather than the current fi ve per cent.

Therefore, I decided to jump on to the rollercoaster that is the vari-able rate and at this current time, it

seems a very good idea with some rates dropping as low as four per cent.

The last thing my mortgage broker advised me of was to pay off more money on the loan than the recommended repayments, ad-vising me it could cut a number of

years off the loan.After plenty of hardwork and

nervous waiting for approval, I suc-cessfully gained a home loan and like many others, am enjoying the great Aussie dream of home own-ership.

Keeping a short and sharp eye on what’s happening around

the Riverland and Mallee

CWA to celebrate 80RIVERLAND based Country Wom-en’s Association members are pre-paring to celebrate the organisa-tion’s 80th anniversary.

As part of the celebrations, a banner will tour the state and will visit Loxton for a regional gathering on Thursday, September 17.

Members of the Waik-erie, Renmark, Loxton and Brown’s Well branches recent-ly met to discuss plans for the celebrations.

It is hoped current and past members of the CWA will take part in the occasion.

Young art exhibitionYOUNG people from across the Riverland have submitted their art to an open exhibition to be held at the Renmark Institute as part of the South Australian Living Arts Festi-val.

Riverland Youth Theatre, Riv-erland headspace and local youth groups are working together to produce the exhibition for 12 to 26 year olds.

The exhibition will be launched at the Institute next Friday night from 6pm and will continue until August 9 and then from August 13 to 16, from 2 to 5.30pm each day.

St Joseph’s win awardBARMERA’S St Joseph’s Catholic School recently won an award for innovation in rural education.

The school won the award at the Society for the Provision of Rural Education Conference at Flinders University.

The award recognised the com-munity impact of the Riverland Fla-menco Fiesta, held last year.

St Joseph’s principal Joyce Stark said the Spanish Fiesta provided a social event that celebrated the Spanish and arts program within the school over a full week.

LOXTON girls Adison and Ken-zie Grose recently had a brush with stardom when they bumped into MasterChef star Poh in Norwood.

The girls, with their mum Ko-bie, were in the city for the week-end and saw the tv star walking her dog.

Although Poh could have had other things on her mind, given

that the program’s fi nale was to be screened the next night, Ko-bie said she was very friendly and only too willing to have her photo taken.

Unsurprisingly, Adison and Kenzie were excited to watch the fi nale, which Poh unfortunately lost, the next day and are hoping to see her on television again in the future.

■ MEETING: Fay Laube (left), Betty Parker, Audine Scheer and Cate Brennan at the recent gathering of CWA members.

HOLOCAUST survi-vor Regina Zielinski entranced the recent Lameroo Combined Churches gathering with her life story.

The 83 year old spoke to nearly 60 people and told how at 14 she and her Pol-ish family were impris-oned by the Nazis.

She fl ed the clutch-es of the Nazis in the famed Escape From Sobibor, immortalised in book and fi lm.

After migrating to Australia, Regina moved to Adelaide over a decade ago, where she continues

to tell her story.The presentation

certainly inspired those in attendance at the gathering.

DOZENS of River-landers attended the international hockey matches in Adelaide last weekend to see former Loxton star Grant Schu-bert play his 150th game for Australia.

The Olympic gold medallist played in two games, with his mile-stone game on Sunday night.

Unfortunately, de-spite winning 8-1 the previous night, the Kookaburras were un-able to honour Schubert with a win, going down to Malaysia 1-0.

It was the fi rst time Schubert had appeared in an international in SA.

Renmark Club’s menu revampTHE Renmark Club is revamping its lunch and dinner menus with a focus on quality local produce and small goods.

Overlooking the majestic River Murray, the club is a relaxing get away from life’s hustle and bustle and the available delicious food and wine is a fantastic accompaniement to the club’s million dollar view.

New head chef Pip Rugless has created an antipasto share plate showcasing some of the region’s fi n-est produce, one of many new dishes on offer.

Riverland produce makes up the plate which includes beetroot dip, hand rolled dill and caramelised

onion skinny bread, olives, met-wurst, sun-dried tomatoes, fetta cheese, basil and sun-dried mini breads, pumpkin and sunfl ower seeds mini breads, cherry tomatoes and cucumber.

This is just one of the dishes available in the new lunch time menu and there is no doubt it will excite your taste buds.

If you miss the lunch time rush, a delicious dinner from the new menu surrounded by great entertain-ment is a must.

Pip believes the new menus offer something for everyone at any time of the day.

“There will be more pan dishes. Of course you will still have your old favourites, but it is going to be fresh and healthy,” she said.

With over 25 years experience in the hospitality industry, Pip said the Riverland is one of the best places

she has cooked. “I really love the at-mosphere up here and the whole set up of the Renmark Club,” she said.

The revamped lunch time menu runs seven days a week and platters are available all day Saturday and Sunday.

One of Pip’s favourite dishes on the new menu is risotto with roasted butternut pumpkin, pine nuts, baby spinach and a garlic cream sauce.

The Renmark Club also has excellent coffee and cake specials including gluten free cakes and tarts.

Can the Aussies turn it around at Birmingham?

The Ashes and all that

IT’S make or break time now for the Australian cricket team, trailing one match to nil in this Ashes series, with the Third Test under way tonight.

By this evening, some key selection issues will have been decided.

Will the Aussie selectors kept faith in Mitchell John-son bowling, after another poor game in Northants, and will Phil Hughes live to fi ght another day and open in the match?

Johnson went for boundary after boundary in the tour game and af-ter a fi rst innings failure, Hughes did score some runs in the second dig, but needs runs in this Test, otherwise Shane Watson will come in. Brett Lee still isn’t fi t but with Stu-art Clark going well, surely he must come in at some stage.

England was in simi-lar disarray heading into Lord’s, can Australia turn it around at Birmingham?

With a weekend off from Test duties, I managed to make my way to Essex to watch some club cricket.

Saffron Walden Cricket Club, which is celebrating its 150th season, was the venue for a match against Fakenham Cricket Club.

Most games start at 11am and conclude at 7.25pm, with the team bat-ting fi rst allowed 66 overs maximum, the team bat-ting second a minimum of 54. It does takes some explaining as to why these are the playing conditions but all I can offer is that is the English way.

Heavy overnight rain delayed the start until 11.15, the match ending at 7.44pm with the hosts chasing down 180 with one wicket left and eight balls to spare.

In a tight, hard affair, it was Saffron Walden’s fi rst win for about two months, with the home team’s bowling attack boosted by 37 year old debutant

Graham Welch, currently Essex bowling coach, who was looking for a game.

He took two wickets in his fi rst two overs and was joined with the new ball by Tim Smith, a 55 year old cereal farmer, who bowls left arm swingers that are very, very hard to get away.

Some might say pick-ing these older players ne-glects the youngsters but I would suggest that they are well and truly worthy of a spot in what is otherwise a strong club with four se-nior grades in all.

The club is welcoming to overseas types like my-self and don’t worry, they are all keeping a close eye on the Ashes.

Despite the fact the Tests aren’t on free to air TV, ev-eryone knows what’s going on and a win for England in the Third Test will do more for the game in these sort of competitions, where soccer is never far from be-ing the main game on the sporting pages.

Loxton v Loxton NorthTHE battle is on this weekend for the coveted Warneke/Obst Trophy.

Loxton North has the real chal-lenge before it in subduing Loxton’s drive from the midcourt, with the likes of Jackie Dahlitz and Eve Will prominent in that department.

Loxton has also been rotating names through its goal circle, with Alison McDonald and youngster Amber George spending some time around Tess Dempsey, who has been a great inclusion this season.

Both teams are defensively sound, so if Loxton can stack both its attack and defence with quality,

experienced players, the game could come down to the midcourt result.

North will need Sheridan Pur-vis to continue her good defensive work of late, while the youngsters in the centre will need to be equally as impressive if it is to be in with a chance.

Loxton to win by 23 goals.

Berri v BarmeraTHESE two rivals renew acquaint-ances in a grudge match for Berri, after Barmera stole an upset victory last encounter.

With new coach Kendyl Knotts

at the helm, this one looms as a very different game.

Where players line up will be of particular interest.

Barmera welcomes back Kate McKinlay into defence and word i, she brings with her some excellent form from recent representative level games.

McKinlay will no doubt have her hands full with the Berri star Kelly Moore in goal attack, while Kelly Scholefi eld, or even Louise Beech, may take the shooter’s bib.

Youngster Abby Heaven will have another opportunity to im-press at senior level but Berri seems to have too much class across the

court.Barmera has lost its way a bit of

late and is trying to fi nd its feet at the moment.

Berri should get up by 10 goals.

Renmark v WaikerieRENMARK takes on Waikerie this weekend in what should be a one-sided affair.

Waikerie will know it has a big task on its hands if it is to keep the defi cit down.

We brought you the news the Anita Modlinski will be out for a while with a bad injury last week

but her replacement Reenie Leud-ers has immersed herself in the goal shooter role well, under the guid-ance of Sonja Modlisnki in goal at-tack.

Lyn Sweeney has shared some of the attacking responsibility lately and Waikerie will need to be equal-ly mindful of the pair’s undeniable natural ability.

Renmark’s midcourt is also very patient with its delivery into the at-tacking circle and is equally accu-rate once in, so Waikerie must value possession this weekend.

Waikerie will put in a good ef-fort but Renmark should be too strong and win by 30 goals.

Women

Berri v WaikerieTHIS match gives Berri a chance to consolidate some form, with a win over struggling Waikerie.

The McMahon sisters form a potent duo and if both are play-ing, Berri will have no problems taking the full points.

Lauren Dutton and Kimberly Fulwood will need to be at the peak of their powers to give Waik-

erie a sniff of a rare victory.It is unlikely to happen and

Berri will win convincingly.

Loxton v RenmarkTHE top two sides are evenly matched and have shared some fi erce rivalries over the years.

Another tough encounter awaits and will add to the history of great matches between these two teams.

Veterans Danielle Weeks (Ren-mark) and Billie-Jo Hammerstein (Loxton) will lead the way.

However, there is more than a smattering of young tal-ent to be on display with Kate Coden and Georgina Sylvia playing well for their respective sides.

Sara Jenzen has been in best and fairest form for Loxton and could prove the difference in this contest for top spot.

Men

Berri v WaikerieAS usual Berri is blazing a trail at the top of the premiership ladder in the top men’s division, account-ing for Loxton by eight goals on the weekend.

On the other hand, Waikerie is struggling along, picking up the odd point here and there.

With Jason Golding fi ring, Brett Stokes’ strong leadership and the youth of Matt Baird as opponents, it is hard to see Waikerie sneaking a point from Berri.

Jason Redemski and Grant Simpfendorfer always contribute and offer stiff resistance but that won’t be enough.

Loxton v RenmarkCOULD a Loxton inspired by the exploits of its favourite son, 150 game Kookaburra Grant Schubert, score a win against Renmark?

It will take a concerted effort from the Tigers’ experienced core, along with mature efforts from youngsters like Shaun Burgess to get them over the line.

We are not saying it cannot happen but Renmark looks to have too many options for Lox-ton, despite losing to Waikerie last weekend.

Jason Sluggett and Scott Mor-ris are just two players who loom large as someone capable of end-ing Loxton’s hopes.

Renmark by one goal.

Top two to do battle in women’s hockey

Netball rivals meet again

RENO: Don’t leave your wallet in a taxi when in Melbourne. There is a good chance you will never see it again. Especially when it has $1600 cash in it.

Saf: Classic Reno! Don’t tell me, when you went back to ask for it, the entire taxi de-pot had burnt down?

Reno: Yep. True story. If it’s going to happen, it will happen to Reno. At least I saw the Cats have a magnifi cent win. Hawthorn are fi nished now.

Saf: And there it is. I knew you wouldn’t be able to get through a column without mentioning them.

Reno: Ha ha. Had to get that in. True story about the taxi incident though. So, what has been happening in the

Riverland over the last week I’ve been away?

Saf: There’s been lots of sport going on, but speaking of fi re, I heard a rumour that the Riverland might not exist any more if it wasn’t for your heroics. Do you want to fi ll everyone in?

Saf: Now, now Saf.Reno: You saved Berri, at

least, I heard. And then went straight for the oxygen mask. Anyway, maybe another time. Too bad the T-Birds weren’t quite “go” on Sunday. They had a good season though.

Saf: Yeah they did well. I see Geva Mentor may be heading back home. Will be a shame.

Reno: Speaking of the land of whingers, I reckon there will be some whing

ing and whining once we are done with England in the Third Test.

I really hope so. If Mitch-ell Johnson plays, he has some improving to do and if Stuart Clark doesn’t get picked, I will not be a happy camper.

Saf: It’s a bit of a seamer apparently, so Hauritz might drop out for Clark. Bank on a Ponting century and plenty of wickets for Siddle. He bowls with a seam that’s straighter than Brett Duffi n’s facial ex-pressions.

Reno: There is nothing more certain this weekend than a Geelong win minus half their backline over the Crows. Go you mighty Cat-ters! Speak to you next time.

Saf: You had better hope the Crows don’t get up, be-cause you will not be hearing the end of it from me.

I’m sure there will be other people who will be lin-ing up to give it to you too.

Another eightball champion emerges over the weekend as...

Tough tournament

wraps up■ WHEN leading Melbourne play-er Ben Nunan remarked to tourna-ment director Neil Lemmey, at the conclusion of last weekend’s ma-jor eightball weekend at the Berri Resort Hotel, “I hate you Neil and I hate the Berri Open”, he was actu-ally throwing away compliments.

They were compliments to the way the 22 year old Berri Resort Hotel Open Singles Champion-ship has been organised and con-ducted at such a magnifi cent venue so that it is undoubt-ably one of the most prestigious events on eightball’s Australian calendar.

In a roundabout way, Nunan was sim-ply saying how great the tournament is and even for a player of world class like him, how tough it is to win the major prize money.

In Lemmey’s own words, the Berri Open is “brutal”.

With 2006 champion and this year’s runner up Mark ‘The Ma-chine’ Williams saying to his grand fi nal conqueror, Barossa’s Adam ‘Junior’ Andretzke, at the trophy presentation ceremony “you will remember this for the rest of your life”, it can be seen how hard it is to win this event and how it is

perceived by the players that come from far and wide to compete in it.

The Who’s Who list of previ-ous title winners and aspiring 2009 champions was decimated by quarter fi nals time with players like defending titleholder Brenton Collier, Jake McCartney (2007), Paul Hancock (2005), Mick Dela-hunty (1991, 2001) and Alec Evre-niadis (1989,1997) exiting early.

Only Adelaide pair Williams and former Riv-erlander Russell Youlten (2002, 2003) made it through to the last eight.

Youlten in fact was a shade unlucky as he ‘won’ and ‘lost’ his quarter-fi nal against Steve See-bohm (Adelaide) within seconds.

After potting a black to ‘win’ the contest, his white ball appar-ently meandered on into foul ter-ritory to end his run towards pos-sibly becoming the fi rst player to win the title on three occasions.

A total of 373 players nominat-ed for this year’s $15,000 tourna-ment with Andretzke taking home $3500 plus trophies after defeating Williams ($1700) 4-2 in the fi nal in front of nearly 200 spectators.

■ COMPETITIVE: The Berri Resort Hotel eightball tournament draws hundreds of quality competitors each year to vie for the coveted trophy against some of the nation’s best players.

“I hate you Neil and I hate the Berri Open”,

- he was actually throwing away compliments.

■ FORMER Loxton netballer Michelle Kuller (nee West-brook) has been back ‘home’ recently visiting friends and family but there was another reason for her trip from WA where she now resides.

Michelle and her husband, Marcus, had with them their three children, with two of them, Reid and Zane, compet-ing in the World BMX cham-pionships in Adelaide, in the eight and nine year age groups respectively.

And for Reid, it turned out a very successful event because he fi nished third in his compe-tition and automatically qual-ifi es for next year’s world titles in South Africa. Now world number three, Reid went into the event as Australia number one after winning at the last nationals in Perth.

Michelle is the daughter of Loxton identities Robert and Marlene Westbrook and sister of Steve, who recently reached 300 games with the Loxton Football Club, after starting at senior level in 1990 aged 16.

Local connections to young BMX stars

■ THE Brown’s Well Foot-ball Club is holding a double header celebration at Paruna this weekend.

A 40 year reunion will encompass a reliving of pre-mierships the Bombers won in the 1980s.

On Saturday, proceedings will start with football match-es against Lyrup with an an-niversary dinner at 6.30 that night in the local community complex.

Bookings and enquiries to club stalwart Rob Lehmann 0400 916 224.

The Bombers entered the Riverland B grade in 1969 with two senior teams (number one and two) after a shortage of players resulted in the folding of the Brown’s Well Football League that had involved Paruna, Meribah, Taplan, Alawoona and Pee-binga.

Football was fi rst recorded in the area around 1916.

In 1971, Brown’s Well, still with two senior sides and a colts team, joined the new Independent competition and this structure remained until the number two side ceased in 1976.

In that fi rst year, the Bombers’ number one team made the fi nal four by less than one per cent in the 14 team B grade competition but won through to defeat Loxton at Berri for the 1969 premier-ship.

Former Loxton ruckman Alan Todd coached the team.

During the 1970s the club continued to be a regular fi -nalist with three more titles, 1972, under former Loxton North big man Don Logan, 1975 (Daryl Cearns) and 1978 (David King).

And it was much the same in the 1980s, the fl ags to be celebrated this weekend, out of seven grand fi nal appear-ances, are 1982 (Gary Menz), 1985 and 1986 (Lew West-brook) and 1988 (Neville Grills).

Over the years Brown’s Well has boasted many league medalists and trophy winners but its most decorated player Leon Braun was at the helm as coach when the last premier-ship was won in 2000.

A proud and respected club the Bombers – you can only wish them well for this weekend and the future.

Bombers celebrate 40 year anniversary

■ WORLD CLASS: Reid Kuller, son of former Loxton woman Michelle Kuller (nee Westbrook), took out third place at the BMX World Championships held in Adelaide last week.

The open provides plenty of match opportunities for players of all standards.

The Friday night restricted knock out competition resulted in Don Colbert (Ballarat) and Sam Faehrman (Adelaide) defeating Jason Camilleri (Melbourne) and Kon Haritos (Loxton) in the fi nal.

Invitational knock out number one had Jake McCartney (Ballarat) accounting for Nunan and num-

ber two Mick Delahunty, defeating his son James.

The under 18 knockout ended in Melbourne’s Kurt Dunham win-ning the fi nal against Adelaide’s Nathan Nemes who was also run-ner up in 2008.

James Mifsud (Melbourne) won the Saturday night pot out.

A keenly contested ladies competition went to Tara Butte (Adelaide) from Joy Sullivan (Mil-

dura), while the non-qualifi ers knockout saw Greg Sumner (Eliza-beth) account for Michael Swift (Adelaide).

Bruce Knight did the best of local entries in the main singles event winning through to the last 64.

The Berri Resort Hotel’s duty manager Darren Baker assisted in handing out the major prizes.

Registration and CTP are for 12 months only. Based on information released by Treasury on the 25/02/2009. Eligibility is subject to satisfying specific requirements which may vary. Business owners need to obtain their own independent tax advice.

■ THE 21st annual Loxton Bowling Club – Loxton Hotel Motel August bowls clas-sic starts on Saturday and continues to be one of the best supported events of its type in the region as far as both local and visiting club members are concerned.

Nominations have come from all of our major towns, as well as places like Ceduna, Parndana, Port Lincoln, King-scote, Victor Harbor, Mount Gambier, Morphett Vale, Curlwaa, Kimba, Cleve, Cowell and Payneham.

Entries are at capacity, 24 teams of four, who will play in a mixed fours com-petition on Saturday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday in the eight day event.

Finals on Saturday afternoon August 8 offer prize money of $1200 to the win-ning rink and $700 to the runners up.

On the Sunday/ Monday and Wednesday/ Thursday, in between, two sections, A and B will contest men’s and ladies pairs competitions for daily prize money.

Meanwhile, further to our recent report on Neil Lemmey, (who played bowls for Loxton at one stage during his career in the Riverland) and his achieve-ments both on and off the greens with Merrylands in Sydney, I chatted with him during his return ‘home’ in his capacity as tournament director of the Berri Resort Hotel Open Eight Ball Singles Champi-onship last weekend.

Since that last report Neil has been a member of his club’s winning team in zone 10 of the State Pennant series and

this weekend Merrylands will be chas-ing their fi rst ever victory in the 16 zone round robin state pennant fi nals.

It should be some sort of a standard as a competition, as after being exempt previously, Premier league bowlers are able to play this year.

Merrylands, for example, will have six Premier Leaguers in their 12 man line-up and with Lemmey and Peter Stockham also new additions, only four remain from earlier teams.

Neil partnered Stockham, a brother of Adelaide identity David, to win the zone 10 pairs recently and will soon play off in the fi nal 16 teams for the state trophy.

He also points out that while he and Stockham are “in their 50s”, the average age of Merryland’s State Pennant team “is around 30”.

As mentioned previously, Neil is also in his club’s Premier League squad and with such good form, he must now have a strong chance of playing in that pen-nant competition, ranked amongst the best in the world, later this year.

Of local interest, I understand Berri based bowler Andrew Hill will have a chance to play at Merrylands from Au-gust 20 to 23, when he is a member of a SA party of 10 men, 10 women that will travel to Sydney.

Arrangements between Neil Lemmey and Bowls SA offi cial Jeff Hammond has the group being involved in Merrylands trial matches in preparation for their Pre-mier League competitions.

■ WAIKERIE-Riverland Off Road Club’s only two entries in last weekend’s Sunraysia 500 on Tapio station just out of Mildura, Brad Gallard and Scott Modistach, and Geoff, Liz and Tyson Roe both ran into mechanical troubles.

The event was round three of the AORRA championships and in overall results, Gallard, driv-ing a Chev V8 Pro Truck on loan from fellow club member Robbie Gwynne, fi nished 18th and Geoff Roe, 20th.

Both were in the Extreme 2WD class, with Gallard, the reigning Australian champion, fi nishing third and Roe, fi fth, behind Greg Campbell, NSW, in class.

In the prologue on Saturday morning, Gallard had the fastest time for a truck and fi nished in

sixth place but in the four 115 ki-lometre rounds of the main event, he had mixed fortunes.

In round one on Saturday he was crippled by ignition failure.

But then on Sunday over three laps, he was again the fast-est truck.

On the other hand, the Roe vehicle was right in the Extreme 2WD mix in the early lap but on Sunday unfortunately it was their turn to cop mechanical prob-lems.

The feature of the week-end, was the ‘dog fi ght’ between David Fellows and Andrew Kittle (Adelaide) and Shan-non and Ian Jaensch (Victoria) throughout.

Fellows grabbed pole position for the main race by winning the prologue from reigning Australian

off road title holder Jaensch and Travis Robinson, Adam Trewella (WA).

Fellows and Jaensch again went one, two in the fi rst section of the 500 later on Saturday and on Sunday, after the three laps of section two, positions were un-changed.

Fellows fi nished under a min-ute ahead of Jaensch after a titan-ic, no holds barred struggle and took outright top spot in the fi ght for the 2009 title.

I am told the Fellows-Kittle team, initially out of Alice Springs, will divide in 2010 with the latter to move from navigating to driv-ing his own vehicle.

Also, I believe this round of the Australian titles may not be held at Tapio station next year with plans on the table to make

the Sunraysia 500 a biannual event as the round is rotated with another venue.

Back to last weekend.The prolite buggy class went

to Victorians Justin Watt, Joel Matthew, Super 1650s to Werner and Susan Zetti (NSW), Extreme 4WD to Queensland’s Colin Hunter and Margot Knowles and the Production 4WD to Clayton Chapman and Adam McGuire (Qld)

Two rounds of the Australian Championships remain with The Pines Enduro, Millicent, September 4 to 6, followed by Goondawindi. Meanwhile, local cars will be out in greater num-bers at Mannum this weekend for round three of the SA multi club series, then round four at the Wynarka Enduro.

■ WITH fi ve rounds remain-ing in the 2009 soccer pre-miership season, defending champions in the senior men’s competition Renmark Olympic sit on top of the lad-der with 19 points followed by Barmera Gold 16, Berri River Rangers 15, Barmera Black 7, Renmark Develop-ment Squad 1.

Wise money would be on another Olympic title but more will be revealed when it meets its two main rivals over the next few weeks.

On the other hand, cur-rent form suggests it will be no one horse race when the Top Four Cup gets underway on Sunday, September 13.

In the inaugural girls open competition, an inter-esting situation exists at the top of the ladder with Loxton on 25 points and Renmark Two, 23.

Last Sunday in the senior men’s matches Barmera Gold defeated clubmates Black 5-1 and Rangers continued their hot form with a 7-0 win against Renmark Develop-ment.

In the all Barmera clash, Gold were without Anthony Ielasi and Kyle Lehman but Ben Dorombozo returned for three goals and a best on fi eld performance that helped to sink an undermanned Black.

Despite a splendid effort from young Jim Vlassopou-los in the midfi eld and Mi-chael Struchlak’s courageous game for Black, Gold simply enjoyed far too many scoring opportunities agency of mid fi elders Jim Fournaros and Kevin Barber.

In the other game, the Development squad, with-out senior ‘stabiliser’ Attila Djurdjinovic, was completely overwhelmed by Berri who were at full power and boast-ed a midfi eld of Dave Grego-ric, Dale Harwood, Marcus Drogemuller, Tyson Schrapel and Steve Atkinson.

The young Renmark side had a few standouts includ-

Dorombozo slots Gold hat trick, Rangers continue run

Loxton bowls classic nears

ing Tom Athanasiou, with some spectacular saves, and determined trio David Strongman, Umberto Cata-lano and Peter Athanasiou.

This Sunday, matches are at Berri, Renmark Olympic to meet Renmark Develop-ment and Barmera Black up

against Rangers.Before that on Saturday,a

leading Adelaide offi cial and former national league player will be at Renmark Three oval 12.30 to 3.30 pm to conduct ‘Coaching of Coaches’ sessions.

According to RSA Presi-

dent Steve Poutakidis, this event will give anyone inter-ested in developing or com-mencing a career in coaching soccer at any level an oppor-tunity to learn from a quali-fi ed person.

Steve will welcome any enquiries on 0418 953 205.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Murrayville v BDTTHE Bulldogs would be disap-pointed to kick 15 goals last match and still lose by nearly 90 points.

While Drew Crane is pro-viding outstanding service up forward and is scoring goals a plenty, it seems the midfi eld will need to work harder to pre-vent BDT from destroying Mur-rayville’s top four chances.

Better service will be re-quired from Rian Crane, Da-mien Fenoughty and ruckman Chris Webb if the ‘Dogs are to have a chance.

BDT, on the other hand, is as fi nely tuned as a Mercedes and with Josh Keller, Josh Rich-ardson and Luke Remfry on fi re, appear almost unstoppable.

The Crows to win and virtu-ally squash Murrayville’s fi nals hopes for 2009.

Pinnaroo v PeakeTHIS week sees another big game for Pinnaroo as it tries to settle its spot in the top four.

Although, the Suparoos are taking on the lowly Peake, the home side will not be able to give the desperate visitors a sniff.

Peake is keen for a win and might see the inconsistent Pinnaroo as a target.

However, if Wade and Chad Nickolls, Sunyl Vogt and Brad Sheridan play at their peak, the ‘Roos should get home safely.

Travis Gray and Nathan Spry will match up against the Nick-olls brothers, while Travis Car-ling and Scott Crouch will have key midfi eld roles.

We’d like to pick Peake but we can’t see it happening.

Pinnaroo to win and put it-self a game clear of fi fth placed Murrayville.

Karoonda v LamerooEVERYTHING is set for this match to be a crackerjack en-counter.

Reigning premier Lameroo must win if it is to go into the fi nals with the double chance.

A game behind the resurgent Magpies, the Hawks go into this contest with a winning record against the home side.

Contests between Justin Jackson for Karoonda and Lam-eroo’s star midfi elder Shaun Waker, along with Ben Grieger

and the Magpies’ tall duo of Lucas Neumann and Michael Houston will be important.

Corey Knight bagged a mas-sive 13 goals last start and will need some looking after, how-ever, he will not get the latitude he received from the Murray-ville defenders.

The Hawks have their own forward dangers in Matt Ridg-way and Chris Philbey.

We’re going to pick Lameroo, just so the battle for the double chance will continue deeper into the season.

Brown’s Well v LyrupIT is the battle for the wooden spoon when Brown’s Well meets Lyrup this round and it will be a heated contest with more than just pride at stake.

Celebrating its 40th anniver-sary, Brown’s Well is expecting a big crowd to turn up on its home turf but if it loses and slips to bot-tom place, the celebrations may be dampened.

Independent football’s battlers have shown glimpses of brilliance but have too often been steamrolled in the second half.

Last time the two sides met, Lyr-up recorded its only win of the sea-son after Ken Karpany and Nathan Willmott dominated up forward.

The Lions will also be looking for Adrian Abdulla to continue his good form, while Jeremy Drewett and Ben Kaesler played well in last round’s loss.

Brown’s Well would fancy itself

to win this match with rover Russ Charles in great touch and Brad Hoffmann capitalising on his op-portunities.

The main problem for the Bombers is their lack of forward options and the side has relied on Ash Smith and Craig Hyde to do the bulk of the scoring.

Willmott could be the decisive factor in this match and we are pre-dicting Lyrup to crawl off the bot-tom of the table with a win.

Wunkar v East MurrayWUNKAR has worked hard to ce-ment a fi nals spot this year and a big win against East Murray could see it move into second position.

East Murray is looking for three wins in a row and is facing an uphill battle against an in form Wunkar.

With its multi-pronged for-ward line, the Bulldogs are sure to ruffl e a few feathers in this sea-son’s fi nal series.

Shane Schulz, Sean Gray and Harley Bennell have regularly kicked goals in past rounds and will need to do so against East

Murray.The run of Adi Lovegrove is

hard to match up on, while Dan-iel Evans and Steven Crouch have had stellar seasons.

The Tigers have been served well by solid contributions from David Andriske and Brian Par-sons, while Matt Stasinowsky has also been good.

Todd Collins is dangerous up forward and youngster Jack Bo-bilak will want to return another good haul of majors this week-end.

Wunkar needs to consolidate its position in the top four by beating an East Murray side on the rise by fi ve goals.

Ramco v Moorook-Kingston

AFTER two consecutive losses, Ramco fought back with 28 shots at goal in its 11 point loss at the hands of undefeated Cobdogla.

Now in fourth place, a win against Moorook-Kingston will guarantee a fi nals berth in the Roosters’ fi rst year in the Inde-pendent competition.

The Warriors took until the fi nal term to score a goal in their match against Paringa and an-other slow start could see a much bigger margin than the 78 point loss last weekend.

Last time the two sides met, Moorook-Kingston was competi-tive in a six goal defeat.

Captain Darran van der Woude has led the way but has lacked help from his team-mates.

The Cooper brothers, Kris and Matt, have been good and Roger Taylor is an avenue to goal in the absence of leading goal-kicker Travis Voigt.

Ramco is still searching for a key forward, with Jacob Hole, Andrew Bevan and playing coach Kym Thiel all contributing in last week’s loss to Cobby.

Midfi elders Daniel Maywald, Jason Marr and Josh Murphy will need to play well for the Roosters to win.

Shaun Zimmerman is in sea-son best form and Nigel Hole is a reason why Ramco has had many centre clearances this year.

The Ramco midfi eld will make the difference in a 10 goal win.

Cobdogla v ParingaTHE two top sides lock horns in a what could prove to be a memorable encounter.

Cobdogla is looking to make it 12 wins in a row and with only East Murray and Wunkar to come after this match, a season without a loss is a major possibility.

Boasting the competition’s leading goalkicker, Anthony Lippis with 63 goals, Paringa has a chance to show it is a premiership contender this season.

Cobdogla has had a range of good players with Leon Henderson the latest to fea-ture in the best.

The ever reliable Rob Smyth continues to lead a strong defence, which has

only let through 613 points, while Luke Wegener, Deane Mitchell and Lyndon Fridd have impressed.

Troy Dawson added to his tally of 27 goals with six against Ramco and has been the main target in the forward 50 in the absence of Darrell Tilbrook.

For Paringa, Andrew Lloyd has been a standout player, while Shannon Hissey and Johnathon Wood have had the best of their opponents.

Young Tristan Jackson bagged three goals against Moorook-Kingston and works well with Craig Baxter around the ground.

Cobdgola will continue its winning streak but not with-out a scare from Paringa in this match.

THE BOTTOM LINE

THE BOTTOM LINE

WAIKERIE youngster Cam-eron Hawke is this week’s nomi-nation for the Rising Star Award.

The developing ruckman has been elevated to the senior ranks after showing real progress from the under 18 competition last year.

Hawke has spent some time in the ruck but has been particu-larly damaging when going for-ward and even in defence.

His height and athleticism is a real bonus, while his decision making and footy brain is really coming along well this season.

Hawke has taken every op-portunity that has come his way so far in 2009, showing a great work rate and attitude.

Congratualtions Cameron, a very worthy nominee.

*Drawn game

Loxton North v LoxtonTHE Panthers again showed they are on the improve after a few big losses and will take some confi dence out of last week’s efforts.

Loxton, on the other hand, knocked off the league leaders but still dropped to third on the ladder on percentage.

These rivalry clashes always bring some-thing special with them but Loxton’s, and in particular Pete Smith’s form, will be a tough force to counter.

For Loxton North, Brad Williams is a battler, while both Ryan and Justin Proud

Morgan/Cadell v BSRCELEBRATING his 400th game, Morgan/Cadell veteran Mick Dreckow will lead his side into the match against BSR, hoping for a spirited effort.

Morgan/Cadell will be hop-ing to build on its four goal sec-ond quarter effort last round and stay competitive in the fi rst half against BSR.

However, BSR forward Ja-son Rosenzweig will dominate up forward for BSR, kicking his 100th goal of the season and a haul of 20 goals for the day is

possible.Young guns Kyle Coleman

and Sam Sobey showed they are future stars with outstand-ing efforts against Sedan/Cam-brai.

Veteran centre half back Mark Coleman, full back Clin-ton Griffi ths and back pocket Matt Mattner lead a strong de-fence for the Bulldogs.

BSR is in unfamiliar terri-tory after not winning for two consecutive rounds and will need to build up confi dence with only three games to go in the season.

Waikerie v RenmarkYET another top of the table clash emerges this week when a resurgent Renmark fronts up to Waikerie in the Gill/Lehmann Cup.

Renmark has been putting some big scores on the board lately, aver-aging over 120 points a game in the past four weeks.

Brett Exelby, Matt Camplin and Harry Beavis have been especially dangerous up forward, while Craig

Seekamp’s sheer size and strength has been more than handy.

The most damaging forward line in the business now fronts up to the tightest defence in the league in-cluding Aron Bland, Jackson Sutton and Steve Liebich.

The Magpies missed the usual impact of reliable forwards Tom Hyde and Ben Venning last week and while Venning still managed two goals, Waikerie will need a big-ger return from their key targets to

roll Renmark.On the fl ip side, Renmark can

learn from Loxton’s defensive work last week and quelling the two key forwards will be the fi rst step in the right direction for a win.

Waikerie enjoys the home ground advantage but Renmark knocked it off there last year.

We tossed a coin to tip this one and Renmark came up, so we’re going with Renmark by under 20 points in a physical encounter.

Sedan/Cambrai v Robertstown

BOTH teams have stepped up their game with the fi nals cam-paign looming and this week-end’s match is sure to be an absolute thriller.

Robertstown is on a high after its courageous victory against BSR two rounds ago and will be looking to consoli-date second position with a win against Sedan/Cambrai.

A 19 goal haul from Jarred Mosey was the backbone of a 214 point win over Morgan/Ca-dell and the Roos will be look-ing for more goals from him this round.

Chris Pfi effer and Simon Schmidt have worked well in the centre of the ground and the Roos will rely on the duo against Sedan/Cambrai.

Recruit Ben Coppin played his best game for the club against Morgan/Cadell and could be dangerous off the for-ward fl ank this round.

Young Kurubyn Floyd con-

tinues to impress and his pace could be a problem for the Magpies.

Sedan/Cambrai drew with league leader BSR last start, with only inaccuracy costing it a win.

Centre half back Scott Star-key held BSR forward Jason Rosenzweig to just two goals, a rare feat this season.

It is more than likely he will take Jarred Mosey this round and will starve the forward of touches.

Ball magnets Ryan Johns and Corey Redden will be prominent this round and the backline looks solid with Tar-rant Smith playing well.

Simon Noack will be look-ing to kick more goals against Robertstown, while Rowan Waye is also an option.

With both sides struggling with injuries, this match is set to come down to the wire and it is time for Sedan/Cambrai to prove it can match it with the top two teams with a two goal win.

and Brad Mules are good carri-ers of the ball.

The contest between the runners will be of interest, with Loxton boasting an in-form Mitch Fazekas, the returning Bronte Manuel and Jackson Fielke all covering big distances in games.

Loxton has plenty of height as well, which will test the likes of Michael Arnold, Ben Miller and Matthew Hampel.

The Tigers have too many avenues to goal for the Pan-thers to plug all the gaps, so with that in mind, they should run out relatively easy winners by about 40 points.

Berri v Barmera-Monash

TWO old rivals clash again this week and while the coveted Fisher Cup is not up for grabs, another tough hit out is ex-pected.

The Roos were disappoint-ing last week but there have been plenty of positives in a promising season to date.

Chris Bonney’s defensive and now ruck work has been stellar and he would be right up there in the club’s best and fairest count to date.

The Roos also have a for-midable forward set up with Brad Wilksch, Robert Price and crumbing youngster Terry Packer all capable of kicking a few each.

Berri’s defensive line-up has worked well of late with Ste-ven Raeder, Steve Renfrey and Nathan Geyer a solid match-up for what Barmera-Monash throws forward.

The midfi eld battle is in-triguing with Roos Andrew Nunan, Matty Leyson and Jack Selfe lining up against Demons Jake Langdon, Dylan Brooks and Dean Storic.

The wings will be of interest too, with Chris Scholefi eld and Chris Hughes renewing their on-fi eld battle this week.

Barmera-Monash had a bit of confi dence sapped last week so this clash with Berri is a must win for both sides.

The Roos are favourites and should get up by about 15 points.

The Modifi ed with GRAHAM MATTHEWS

MOVING from New Zealand to Australia in 1985, Brian ‘Kiwi’ Fuge of Monash

can’t really remember a time where he wasn’t doing something with cars.

He recalls as a young boy modifying his go-kart to make it go faster and handle better.

Then when he wasn’t outside playing with cars, he was inside building models and col-lecting diecast cars, in particular Chevs.

His fi rst real memorable car was a 1972 Ford TC Cortina that received major body modifi cations and a complete drive train upgrade to a 400ci Chev V8 with four speed manual gearbox and a 9” Ford diff.

On arriving in Australia, Kiwi didn’t take long to get into the car scene and purchased a 1957 Chev four door sedan that was fi nished and debuted at the Adelaide Hot Rod Show in 1988…but that’s another story.

Today we’ll concentrate on his new wheels completed just in time to enter the Tri State Campout in November last year.

He has a 1947 Chevrolet ute that origi-nally came from Adelaide and is now fi tted to a complete HQ Holden ute chassis.

As the wheel base of both vehicles was the same, Kiwi decided rather than modify the original Chev chassis, it would be a lot easier to simply fi t the complete Chev body on to the HQ chassis.

This means all the running gear is com-pletely HQ Holden, from the original front suspension and disc brakes to the rear springs and 10 bolt Salisbury diff.

It even uses the HQ steering column, which connects to the original power steer-ing and as for motivation, well that comes from the original 253 V8 and trimatic auto transmission.

The external appearance has been changed by lowering the bonnet front 60mm, which has given the ute a more appealing side pro-fi le, and of course, being built by Kiwi meant the roof was chopped and lowered consider-ably.

The remainder of the body is as it came from the factory but is now covered in a more modern colour of the Ford XR8 Phantom Purple variety.

The true fi re airbrush fl ames were applied free hand by Airbrush Venturi from Adelaide.

Rather than use mag wheels, ‘Moon discs’ have been added to the 14 x 51/2” front and 15 x 6” rear wheels to give the Chev a differ-ent look.

All the chrome trim inside and out has been redone, however, the front bumper bar is still under repair and due to be chromed and fi tted in the near future.

On the inside, bucket seats complement a Nissan Pulsar have been fi tted and trimmed in an XR8 Falcon cloth, as is the rest of the interior.

A new hood lining and carpets are fi tted, as are modern accessories like electric win-dows, central locking, cd player and aircondi-tioning from a Datsun 200B.

The dash insert is made from aluminium in the shape of the Chev emblem and houses a set of HQ GTS Holden gauges and all the wiring, fuses and switches are concealed.

All the glass has been replaced with lami-nated safety glass and was cut and supplied by Kingston on Murray Glass, in Barmera.

Whilst not building it to win awards, the Chev received Rodders Choice overall at fi rst outing, so Kiwi is absolutely rapt in how his new wheels have turned out.

“It gives me modern performance with excellent fuel economy and has that nostalgic look and appeal that I like,” he said.

“I had a vision of what I wanted and it turned out exactly how I planned, so there’s nothing to change, I’ll just have fun cruising whenever and wherever I can.”

Salt lake racing is his other passion and Kiwi has been heavily involved in building and crewing for the 000 Racing Team HK Holden Monaro owned by Dave Pluckhahn, from Loxton.

His ultimate car to own would be a 1969 Big Block Chev Corvette.

Kiwi built Chev■ COLOURFUL: This 1947 Chevrolet ute,

owned by Brian ‘Kiwi’ Fuge, is a real look

back at motoring history.

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.

~ Erma Bombeck

Mazda’s diesel power hits the roadMazda has bolstered its per-formance and environmental credentials with the arrival of a high-performance MZR-CD 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine to the Mazda6 range that will change the way Australians perceive diesel.

The new Mazda6 Diesel wagon and Mazda6 Diesel Sports match expensive European diesel luxury cars available at a more affordable price, bringing turbo-diesel performance and exemplary environmental credentials within reach of everyone.

The 2.2-litre, com-mon-rail, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine is a new generation, environmentally friendly Mazda powerplant, which employs variable geometry turbo-charging and direct-injection to deliver an impressive 136kW of power and 400Nm of torque, up 31kW and 40Nm on the 2.0-litre engine it replaces.

All this extra performance - 30 per cent more power, 10 per cent more torque, 11 per cent quicker acceleration from zero to 100 kilometres per hour - comes at no extra cost to the environment.

The new Mazda6 Diesel delivers a combined-cycle fuel economy of 5.9L/100km in hatch form, exactly the same as the less-powerful 2.0-litre engine it replaces.

Mazda Australia manag-ing director Doug Dickson said the new engine cements Mazda’s leadership as the only Japanese brand offering turbo-diesel passenger cars to Australians.

“This new 2.2-litre turbo-diesel delivers on the once confl icting attributes of robust and refi ned, powerful and effi cient,” Mr Dickson said.

Mr Dickson said the Mazda6’s high-tech new engine makes diesel synony-mous with exhilaration.

The new Mazda6 turbo-diesel is the fi rst step towards Mazda’s ‘Sustainable Zoom-Zoom’ commitment to improve fuel effi ciency by 30 per cent across its range by 2015.

“The new Mazda6 Diesel wagon and Mazda6 Diesel Sports hatch is proof that environmentally-friendly cars can also be fun to drive,” Mr Dickson said.

■ ROAD STAR: Mazda has bolstered its performance and

environmental credentials with the arrival of a high

performance diesel engine.

Portable conveniences for public hire

LOXTON Tank and Drain Clean-ing has tapped into a relatively un-touched market in Loxton, now of-fering a fl eet of brand new portable toilets and shower facilities for hire.

Owners Terry and Julie Mowbray offer dedicated service through-out the Riverland, cleaning septic tanks, rain water tanks and clearing blocked drains.

The business also pumps out houseboat and portable toilets and Mrs Mowbray said all pumping and cleaning of hired toilet and shower facilities, are taken care of by the business, saving you time and the hassle of a somewhat unpleasant job.

Loxton Tank and Drain Cleaning has a vacuum truck, equipped with the latest pumps for removing sand and sludge from tanks, taking away any nasty smells or odours.

The business is also able to per-form pot hole boring, which means it can locate underground drains and pipes, as well as a water pressure gun to clean run off drains, concrete, pav-ers and graffi ti.

Mrs Mowbray said the further addition of portable toilets and now shower facilities has been long required at local events.

“If you want to hire a portable toilet for a weekend party, special occasion or to complete renovations, we can certainly help.”

At Loxton Tank and Drain Clean-ing you are assured a top quality job every time.

For all your tank and drain clean-ing needs call Brenton on 0447 646 481 or Terry on 0409 646 481.

Enquiries on hiring portable toilets or showers should be directed to Julie on 0408 822 351.

■ SERVICE: Loxton Tank and Drain Cleaning now has a range of portable toilets and showers for hire.

Meteor: Path to Destruction8.30pm, WIN TVTacky Saturday night movie involving meteors flying into the Earth’s atmosphere.

What this movie lacks is a real hero.

Which got me thinking about how unsuper Batman is.

Sure, he has muscles, but a meteor would kill him. Not such a super hero!

Eragon6.30pm, WIN 10Yep, despite the fact we’re all sick of wingnuts with bowl-cuts, Ten in its infinite wisdom has unleashed another fantasy drama upon us on Sunday evenings.

Orphaned farm boy Eragon becomes the keeper of the last surviving egg of the dragon race.

In the depths of starvation, he cooks an omlette up. Series over. Magic.

True Beauty9.30pm, WIN TVProducers have assembled a handful of the most attractive, yet ridiculously stupid people in the USA and based a show around their behaviour.

This week, they are divided into two teams, each person will take a photo while performing one of four sports actions and together the teams must create a sports poster. Don’t know how I didn’t get an invite...

Third Ashes Test7pm, SBS 1It’s even better on a Friday night, while waiting for the footy to start.

Then, when the footy does start, flick back and fourth between the two for optimal sport television coverage.

It’s like a solar eclipse. Only happens every now and then but when it does, it is hauntingly beautiful and causes stampedes in India.

RIVERLAND radio program director Matt Stephens has settled into the region well after moving from Longreach, Queensland, at the start of the year.

His career behind the mic has spanned about 15 years, after breaking into the indus-try through stints at a Bris-bane community radio sta-tion and he is now popping up on both 5RM and co-host-ing the Magic FM Morning After Crew breakfast show.

Stephens took every op-portunity he had to get into the studio and gain invalu-able experience, including the odd stint between mid-night and dawn.

“If you’re keen enough, you will take any shift you can get to learn more and get better at it,” he said.

He began working at Longreach in 1996, working there for over 10 years, before heading into the tourism in-dustry and fi nally ending up here.

Stephens said given wife Lucy’s local family connec-tions and the opportunity presented, the move to the Riverland was the logical next step.

“Coming here was defi -nitely a step up professional-ly, compared to where I was,” he said.

“It was time to get up, dust off and move on to the

next thing.“It’s a bigger market and

there’s a lot more people in the station to work with, so it’s been a lot of fun coming here.”

With those close family ties here, Stephens found the earlier trips to the region have helped the settling process.

“It’s been good to have those few visits beforehand, so I had a rough idea about where everything was and what was in the area but I’m learning so much more about the Riverland and through the Mallee as well since I’ve been here,” he said.

His role has considerable responsibility attached to it also, so knowing what prod-uct you are putting out there takes on reasonable signifi -cance.

Stephens listens to both Magic FM and 5RM at once

as part of his quality control process.

It is a talent he hasn’t quite been able to apply in other facets of life.

“I haven’t mastered it in other situations, that’s the problem,” he laughed.

Now, back in the industry he is very passionate about, a big smile is etched onto his face.

“You might have a plan for the day but you’re never exactly sure where it’s going to go and I think that’s part of the excitement of it,” Ste-phens said.

“There are very few areas of the radio industry that I don’t enjoy.

“It’s a heap of things, I don’t know if I could put my fi nger on exactly what it is.

“It’s hard work but you have to have fun at the same time or else there is no point doing it.”

A FUN, exciting musical with a very talented cast will be ap-pearing in the Riverland early next month.

24 Carat Bombshells features three performers on stage who play identical triplets but in a twist, only one of them is the real bombshell.

Among the performers is the amazing Libby O’Donovan, a regular visitor to the Riverland.

“It’s a fun show and we ex-plore who we are,” Libby said.

There’s a broad selection

of music, including jazz, the-atre and cabaret, which will be mainly from the Baby Boomer era.

It is based on famous mu-sical trios, for example, The Supremes, The Three Tenors, The Rat Pack and The Andrews Sisters.

There also will be songs from famous musicals, like Singing in the Rain.

“They are wonderful songs and people know them, so they enjoy them,” Libby said.

“We get a great response.”The show also stars Melissa

Langton who has previously featured in Jesus Christ Super-star, Les Miserables and We Will Rock You.

“Melissa is great and well loved,” Libby said.

“We’ve done big musicals together before.

“We have a great relation-ship and we both have big per-sonalities.”

The pair has previously per-formed together at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in Everybody’s Got Something to Hide (except me and my monkey), along with several other shows.

There will also be a surprise performer in the show, who is the third triplet.

24 Carat Bombshells will be performed at the Chaffey The-atre on Monday at 11am, with morning tea available before the show.

Tickets can be ordered at either www.chaffeytheatre.com.au, by calling 8586 1800, in person at the Chaffey The-atre or at any of its Riverland agencies.

Tickets are $17 each or $15 with Friends Club Tickets.

Bombers celebrate 40 years

WHEELS ARE IN ARE IN MOTIONMOTION

By BRAD PERRY

THE RIVERLAND is set to host one of the biggest events on the national cy-cling calendar after local councils met with repre-sentatives from Bicycle SA on Tuesday.

Riverland councils re-ceived an invitation from Bicycle SA to host the World Future Cycling Challenge scheduled for November next year and are now just waiting on specifi c costs to determine whether hosting the event is viable.

The proposed event will be a seven stage fi xture commencing in Renmark and passing through Berri, Loxton, Waikerie, Morgan, Blanchetown, Sedan, Swan Reach, Mannum, Murray Bridge and fi nishing in Ad-elaide.

The event will be part funded by the communities wishing to host the event and it is targeting up to 30 teams, involving up to 400 competitors, from overseas and interstate.

Loxton Waikerie Council acting community services director Des Schliebs said while there are a number of factors still to be discussed about hosting the event, it could be of huge benefi t.

“I think the program cer-tainly has merit and there was considerable support around the table (at the meeting),” he said.

“As a region we are cer-tainly keen to have a look at it, see what economic ben-efi t we will actually receive from the event.

“Road racing and bike racing is exciting and does create a lot of excitement for the region and communities

could take the opportunity to have a look at road cy-cling at its best.”

After successfully host-ing cycling events such as the Tour of the Riverland, Mr Schliebs said Riverland councils are confi dent the event can have huge eco-nomic benefi ts for the region but are wary of the costs.

“It does come with a cost,” he said.

“There is a base rate of $5600 per host night for each town.

“To get some real mile-age out of it, you have to have some host nights.

“Obviously the whole event does rely on the region and on towns and commu-nities becoming involved in the program to give it that feel and carnival atmosphere that goes with these types of events.”
