SCHOOLS across the region have vowed to tighten education on cy-ber bullying following an incident in which derogatory comments between two students on a social networking site re-sulted in harassment claims recently.

District education director Brian

Featherston said the Murray and Mallee education areas have imple-mented a zero tolerance statement on bullying in schools but disap-pointingly harassment continues to occur.

“We have a regional statement that has been published, all our leaders have it and it is just a zero tolerance to bullying,” he said.

“We are probably the only re-

gion in the state that has a statement on bullying and that includes cyber bullying.”

Calls for students to come forward and report bullying come after an incident where a student’s Facebook post about another teenager received sig-nifi cant responses from fellow users of the site.

Last Week’s Poll Results

Election hits holding pattern

THE Chaffey election campaign seemed to be in a holding pattern this week, with little to excite those amongst us who thrive on political manouevering.

The candidates are still dancing around the possibility of an indepen-dent debate, while the likelihood of a hung parliament hove into view.

From the media side of things, we’re seeing many letters supporting various candidates - some maybe even apparat-chiks for those seeking election.

And some candidates are even questioning the impartiality of local media outlets.

Water was again a hot topic, espe-cially with Member for Chaffey Karlene Maywald introducing calls for a com-pensation package for irrigators who will be effected by the proposed Murray Darling Basin plan.

However, one thing that slipped by fairly quietly was Minister Maywald’s twice monthly water announcement, which indicated precious irrigator allo-cations would remain at 55 per cent.

It will be interesting if the next an-nouncement on March 15 is met with such quietude from candidates looking for a last minute campaign boost.

Locals represent NationalsTHE South Australian National Party has announced two Riverlanders will represent the party in seeking election to the South Australian Legislative Council.

Loxton’s Deb Thiele and Waikerie’s Kym Webber have been given the chance to have a voice on behalf of the Riverland and the Nationals.

SA Nationals Leader Karlene Maywald said the candidates were carefully selected.

“These candidates are just the people to represent them (Riverlanders) in Adelaide,” she said.

Mrs Thiele is an educator, agribusiness consultant and farmer, while Mr Webber is a small businessman and Loxton Waikerie councillor.

“If a student is going home link-ing on to Facebook and there are comments made, then that needs to come back to the signifi cant person (an adult),” Mr Featherston said.

“What that means is we need to know about it before we can imple-ment the strategy we have.

“Someone’s resilience can be di-minished over time if people come at you and at you and that is what we need to be aware of.”

With Facebook banned at schools across the region, Mr Feath-erston said parents play an impor-tant role in detecting whether their

child is being cyber bullied while using the internet at home.

“The hard thing about bully-ing is some of the kids think they are going to keep it to themselves because there is the possibility of retribution,” he said.

“It is very i m p o r t a n t that parents are aware of what their children are doing at home on the computer.

“If it is done after hours we need to know about it.

“Take time to listen to what your child is saying because if they

are making comments or react-ing differently, then there could be something that they (parents) need to be aware of.”

The students’ school princi-pal, who cannot be named due to

the issue being reported to police, said students need to be made fully aware of the complications of bul-lying on social networking sites.

“A lot of students still don’t ful-ly understand that there is no ano-

nymity in sites such as Facebook,” he said.

“It is public and what is put on Facebook sites can be open to all other people.”

The principal agreed with Mr Featherston in saying parents must play a role in monitoring their children’s online actions at

home.“It’s up to families, parents

and schools to continue educating students in things like Facebook appropriateness,” he said.

“There are legal conse-

quences if these sites are used inappropriately.”

Admitting the school will “in-tensify” teaching about cyber bul-lying, the principal said any wrong-doing will attract a penalty.

“Our school chooses to act quickly and decisively if inappro-priate content towards students is posted on Facebook,” he said.

“We have already run parent in-formation evenings on cyber bully-ing on what it is and websites where parents can get information on cy-ber bullying.

“We are going to intensify teach-ing around what is cyber bullying and what the consequences are.”

The cyber bullying battle

NATIONAL Foods’ Riverland site received an excellence award for its fi nancial perform-ance at the company’s 2009 Plant of the Year Awards in Melbourne last week.

The award is given to manufacturing sites that have exceeded their own individual targets and signifi cantly im-proved on the previous year’s performance.

National Foods corporate affairs manager Elise Sullivan said despite the Riverland site ceasing production in June, employees are still expected to work towards company goals and the reward is proof of their dedication to the task.

“As you are aware, the site is still operating at the moment,

therefore they (employees) are still required to obviously hit their targets,” she said.

Ms Sullivan said the award will not effect the juice giant’s

decision to close the plant.“The decision was made to

close the site following a re-view that identifi ed the site was not viable in the long-term due to the excess manufacturing ca-pability we have on the Eastern seaboard, where the majority

of the market is located and the declining fruit volume in the Riverland area,” she said.

While a majority of the workers who helped earn the award will no longer be work-ing for National Foods after June, Ms Sullivan said “our people” are still the company’s main concern.

“In relation to our people, I think the fact that we have great people working for our company across the various different manufacturing sites is fantastic for us,” she said.

“Where we can, we are looking for re-employment op-portunities for our people (at the Riverland site).

“Our people remain our main concern.”

The company was unable to provide specifi c details of how the award for the Riverland site was adjudicated, or how a factory that has been declared unviable can win an award for fi nancial management.

LOXTON’S fl oodwater recycling program has received a $1.12 million boost from the Federal Government.

The funding will allow council to enlarge eisting stormwater retention basins, aid in the construction of a new stormwa-ter retention basin with linkages to the Loxton effl uent lagoon and develop an aquifer storage and recovery scheme.

Loxton Waikerie Council infrastructure services manager Tom Avery said the funding is positive news.

Mr Avery said some of the town’s much loved gardens and green spaces have suffered as a result of the drought but will receive a fresh boost through the recycling program.

“The really positive part is we can enlarge the existing infrastructure in Loxton West and reuse that water on the riverfront so areas like the Lions Park, Aquatic Club and Apex Club Park can be watered,” he said.

He added that the extra stormwater will also revitalise the Loxton Community Conservation and Heritage Park.

“This will have a huge impact on lots of parts of Loxton rather than just the main street,” Mr Avery said.

The council had budget-ed $600,000 for stormwater retention projects in the current budget, with the laest grantlifting the investment in water saving infrastructure projects cur-rently under way to $3.65 million.

An apologyI WOULD like to say “sorry” to the three Riverland council may-ors for not showing the same en-thusiasm as they do towards the Riverland Futures Task Force.

From where I am seated after 14 months of consultation, meet-ings etc what do I have to form an opinion?

Chinese whispers and a lot of them.

After 14 months you would have thought a draft report should have been released for public con-sultation, with the community feedback incorporated in the fi nal report before being presented to

the Premier. The only announcement to

date has been the extension of the committee’s term from 12 to 18 months.

We lowly citizens of the Riverland do not have the same privileges as you three mayors have had (in) being informed on and progressing the plan.

I fi nd the nature of your comments about the Opposi-tion Leader (Isobel Redmond) offensive; she made the effort to be in the region for her party’s announcement, unlike the sit-ting member who made the $20 million commitment by phone to the local radio station.

But a mere $20 million to

compensate the region for the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars traded out of the region by irrigators fi ghting to stay viable?

A mere drop in the ocean one would have thought.

Again I will say “sorry” Mr May-ors for not showing the same enthu-siasm.

Andrew Kassebaum,Winkie.

Shame, shame, shame

IN REGARDS to Sue Beech’s letter (February 18, Jay confi rms priority) it highlights the fact that the Member for Chaffey and Minister for the River Murray Karlene Maywald has a lot to answer for.

Karlene has insulated the river communities above Lock 1 from South Australia’s worst ever natural disaster (words of the Minister’s spe-cial advisor) that is occurring below Lock 1. It was inevitable that this approach to the drought manage-ment would come to a head. Shame, shame, shame.

I am one of the aspirants re-ferred to in the letter and I am quite clearly on the record as saying “the day the river is once again allowed to fl ow to the sea is the day I will show you thousands of happy irrigators, healthy communities and an envi-ronment we can all be proud of”.

No political B.S. there, straight from the heart. The suspicions raised in the letter are well founded, particu-larly the suspicion of the Rann Labor Government of which the Member for Chaffey is part of.

Yes, the Riverland is in crisis. The entire Murray Darling Basin is in cri-sis. All the river communities are in crisis, irrigators, dairy farmers, small business, tourism, families alike.

It’s good to be proud and have the concern to fi ght for our own re-gions but ignoring the health of the entire river is at our peril.

The Riverland’s long term fu-ture is dependent on a healthy river, source to the sea.

All river communities are in this together and must be united if we are to ensure a future in irrigation.

Sue, I admire people with the courage and conviction to speak their mind.

I am not going to criticise your comments but I will make this offer to you.

Meet me at Lock 1 and I will give you a tour to see the disaster for your-self and the opportunity to talk with

the “hat full” of people you refer to. My offer is as a friend, a fellow

South Australian. I look forward to meeting you.

David Peake, Independent candidate for

Chaffey.

Promises, promisesJUDGING by what is being promised in the upcoming elections, I think it would be a wise thing to actually look where your vote is going to go.

We have Libs on one side and La-bor on the other, then we have the Greens, Family First and the Nats.

The Greens, Family First and Na-tionals votes go to Labor anyway, so leaves the Libs by themselves.

Bit unfair if the other three par-ties give their preferences to Labor, who by the looks of it cannot win just by themselves.

(Member for Chaffey Karlene) Maywald has already quoted as say-ing if Labor gets defeated, she will cross the fl oor to the Libs.

Would they have a turncoat like when she did exactly the same to the Nats when Rann asked her to cross?

I know the whole thing doesn’t rely on the river alone, as there are many other issues as well, which has to be sorted and should be.

By the way, just in asking, where in the hell was that 40 ‘gigs’ of water hidden?

Bevin Nickolai, Christies Beach.

PrioritiesI SEE with interest in Adelaide media last week that both Chaffey candi-dates (Tim) Whetstone and (David) Peake were at a rally in Adelaide on the steps (of) Parliament House last Thursday.

Strange that they could fi nd the time to get to a rally in Adelaide in the middle of a weekday but couldn’t fi nd the time to attend the Waikerie or Barmera candidate ‘town hall’ meetings right here in Chaffey.

Begs the question, where are their priorities and what are they fright-ened of?

Perhaps if they can fi nd the time to turn up this week to the Renmark and Loxton meetings, we as voters in Chaffey would have a great opportu-nity to hear from all the candidates in the one place at the one time and be able to form our own opinions to help us make an informed vote on

March 20.If they don’t turn up this week –

how could we possibly think they are the leaders that we need to represent us in parliament?

K. Hayward,Waikerie.

How many jobs?AT THE recent Waikerie town hall public meeting, Karlene Maywald said election promises are mainly funded by increasing taxes/levies or reducing services.

Further that $600 million Labor ‘razor gang’ post election cuts prob-ably would be to administration du-plication.

Surely if this much money has been wasted annually, then all rel-evant Labor ministers should resign.

Given Loxton police station clo-sure, Loxton Research Centre job losses and reduction of Renmark Hospital services, will Karlene Maywald please inform Chaffey elec-tors the specifi cs of how many jobs may be axed, where spending cuts are to occur and which services reduced in the Riverland eg: law enforcement, education, health, agriculture etc.

Tom Loffl er,Waikerie.

Warranty neededTHE Murray Darling Basin’s average annual infl ows are approximately 10,000 gigalitres per year.

Storage capacity within the Mur-ray Darling Basin is well in excess of 10,000 gigalitres.

The Rann Labor Govenrment’s desal plant running at full capacity will produce 100 gigalitres per year.

So in 40 years time, the desal plant will replace one per cent of the water the Murray Darling Basin pro-duces - or less than one per cent of what can be stored within the basin.

For the Mother of Mary, Mike, I know you have been distracted but next time you send Karlene out shop-ping for a $ 1.8 billion dollar bottled water machine, could you at least make sure we have got a power point big enough to plug it into and that it comes with a 40 year warranty - you know how much it cost to fi x Pat’s tram set.

Shane Warrick,

Barmera.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Have your say about the issues that affect you.

A 34 year old man has been arrested following the dis-covery of a large cannabis crop on a property near Blanchetown.

Sixty eight plants were discovered on the property, which followed a lengthy investigation into drug ac-tivity in the Riverland.

Riverland police attend-ed the site on Monday and

found the man at a camp located 100 metres away from the cannabis crop.

A police spokesman said items used in the culti-vation of the plants, along with an amount of dried cannabis product were also found at the site.

Included in the drug haul was evidence of an-other eight cannabis plants

which had recently been cultivated.

The man has been ar-rested for drug and fi rearms offences and will appear in the Waikerie Magistrates Court on April 9.

Picking positives Picking positives from a toughfrom a tough vintage vintage

By BRAD PERRY

WINEGRAPE growers are sell-ing uncontracted grapes that were originally predicted to not fi nd a home this vintage, as wineries seek extra fruit to meet yield demands.

Over the past two harvests, growers were forced to leave grapes they were unable to sell on the ground or on vines but with the exiting of many grow-ers, this year’s vintage will see little wasted.

Kingston Estate Wines managing director Bill Moular-adellis, in his 25th vintage, said this year the winery is taking up most of the fruit being offered.

“We certainly aren’t sug-gesting that any of our grow-ers leave fruit on the vines,” he said.

“As they (wineries) have been picking individual variet-ies, if they have been coming up short, then that means they can actually buy a bit extra to make up that shortfall but still the overall tonnage they are taking in won’t have gone up.

“It is just to make up what they were expecting.

“The demand is pretty fl at and remains the same, there is just less supply to meet that demand, so it is apparently not in surplus and that is a good thing.”

Mr Moularadellis said this year’s vintage will create some “breathing space” for the local wine sector.

“I think the lower crops are a positive for the indus-try (because) it gives us some breathing space to clear some overhang stocks and be able

to command some prices from our customers that relate to what it actually costs us to pro-duce,” he said.

Looking into the future of the wine industry, Mr Moular-adellis is confi dent things will turn around.

“I think it is an absolute tragedy that growers are leaving their properties,” he said.

“I think the over reaction is regrettable and I’m confi dent that within a year or two grape prices will be above the loss making area that they are now.

“I am encouraging any grower that can hang in there to do so because to give away a lifetime’s work to leave their vineyard because of a couple of years (of low returns) is an ab-solute tragedy.

“I am absolutely confi dent the industry will turn around sooner rather than later and that returns will increase back to viable levels that re-ward growers for their endeavours.”

Riverland wine in-dustry development offi cer Tim Smythe said wineries are ac-cepting certain quality variet-ies of grapes and price returns are looking positive.

“What I am hear-ing is that there is price movement and that is encouraging,” he said.

With winer-ies looking to accept extra fruit, Mr Smythe said it is

a positive in what has been a tough vintage for many grow-ers.

“For people sitting back in November and thinking they won’t have the opportunity to sell a portion of their grapes...at least they will get a return this season,” he said.

“I’m absolutely certain that prices will increase, I think it is very, very diffi cult to sustain prices at the current levels and hopefully with the lower vin-tage this year, that will enable lower stocks, which will enable us to attract more from our customers going forward,” Mr Moularadellis added.

While Mr Smythe said there are positives coming out of the current vintage, he said this year’s tonnage has dropped sig-nifi cantly from last year’s crush and the industry will continue to face many challenges going

forward.

Mardi Gras’ ongoing success

By ROB McLEAN

LOXTON’S Mardi Gras continues to rake in the big bucks for the commu-nity, this year raising nearly $40,000 for town projects.

The event, held last Saturday, again attracted a hearty crowd to Loxton’s main street, reinforcing its popularity as an event which brings the commu-nity together.

Mardi Gras chairman

Peter Magarey said he was delighted by the success of the event.

“I think the way the community pulled to-gether to make it work was great,” Mr Magarey said.

Beautiful weather greeted the Mardi Gras, which included a parade featuring 60 fl oats, 33 vin-tage cars and two marching bands.

Street stalls were also popular among those in

attendance.The celebrations con-

tinued into the afternoon, with the announcement of ambassador winners across three categories.

University student Ja-mie-Lee Jones was named Mardi Gras Ambassador, Fiona Kupke Senior Am-bassador, Gemma Tuhoro and Keaton Ferber won the Junior Ambassador titles.

Gemma Wood was named Charity Ambassa-

dor, having raised nearly $11,000.

Float winners were also announced:

Most Outstanding Float - St Albert’s; Most humourous - Loxton Apex Club; Judge’s Choice - Loxton Aero Club; Best Film Theme - Damien Fielke and Renee Schmaal; Best Sporting/Service Club - Loxton Lions Club; Best Ambassador - Gemma Wood.

ACCORDING to newly crowned Loxton Mardi Gras Ambassador Jamie-Lee Jones, it is every girl’s dream to be a princess for a day.

The Flinders University student had the opportunity to be a princess on Sat-urday, when she won the prestigious title.

Supported by the Loxton Lions Club, Jamie-Lee showed signifi cant poise to take the honour, having collapsed only minutes before the presentation cer-emony.

However, she recovered enough to shine on stage as she was announced the winner.

“It was a great experience, I didn’t ex-pect to win at all,” she said.

The daughter of Cheryl and Peter, Jamie-Lee is studying a bachelor of arts in applied linguistics and international business.

Despite that heavy load, she said she will be back in Loxton as often as pos-sible to undertake her ambassadorial duties.

“It gives me ongoing opportuni-ties to give back to the community and get out there and meet a whole lot ofpeople,” she said.

■ THE FUTURE: Liberal candidate for Chaffey Tim Whetstone talks to Kent Hooper (left), of Paringa, Reese Van der Biezen, of Barmera, and Hayden Schepel, of Renmark,

who are some of the region’s young builders.

ONE of the Chaffey region’s most valuable assets are the young people who grow up and live here and nothing is more im-portant than ensuring they have a healthy and safe environment, education and employment op-portunities, modern facilities and lots of things to do.

Retaining young people in our region is essential to its future and attracting young people from outside the region is also an important part of it.

To do this, we need a State Government which is committed to Chaffey and regional South Australia.

We need a government that will invest in the region’s future

– better funding for schools, better funding for health infrastructure, better access to public services, better funding for recreational facilities, safer roads and driver education and most importantly, more jobs.

Our schools must have access to the best programs, facilities and education professionals. Our hospitals must have the funding to enable them to treat more people locally and assist in improving the health of the region.

Other public services must remain here, and be improved, to ensure a growing population’s needs are met.

New business must be

encouraged to set up shop in the region with appropriate support and incentives, a fair, affordable tax regime and a minimum of red tape.

Existing businesses in the region will also benefi t from such policies.

Without these businesses, job opportunities will be few and far between for our young people.

The Chaffey region is a great place to live and raise a young family.

We stand a far better chance of retaining and attracting young people to Chaffey by improving job opportunities.

Community groups in the Riverland region are invited to apply today for Telstra Connected Seniors® grants worth up to $50,000 to help seniors make the mostof modern-day communications technology such as mobile phones and computers.

Grant amounts range up to $5,000 for local community organisations and up to $50,000 for state and territory organisations. Eligible community organisations can apply at www.telstraseniors.com.au until Friday, 5 March 2010.

Grants are accessed in the order they are received, so interested parties are encouraged to get their applications in early to improvetheir chances.

These workshops are the perfect solution for seniors to conquer any technology fears. No-one is ever too old to learn about technology.

They teach the elderly a wide range of practical skills such as how to communicate via SMS or the internet, using the internet to research information and hobbies, pre-setting emergency numbers into their mobile phones andpaying bills online.

Recent South Australian recipients of one of these grants, Barossa Village, found the workshops provided an exciting opportunity to open new doors of communication for their elderly residents.

IT is not only a fi rst name that they share in common but independents David Winderlich and David Peake have released similar campaign signage.

The similar campaign advertising has raised eyebrows across the region.

Mr Peake said he is receiving strong support from the former Democrat in the lead up to this month’s election.

“David and I are working very close together on the campaign but you should probably note his post-ers have got a bit of colour on them but mine are black and white be-cause that is all I could afford,” Mr Peake said.

While Mr Winderlich is in a Legislative Council election battle and deals with a number of differ-ent issues to Mr Peake, the Chaffey candidate said the pair have similar views on the River Murray.

“We’ve got fairly common views on the environment and manag-ing the river but as you know I am focused on the social impact of the drought,” he said.

Mr Peake said Mr Winderlich has played an important role in helping him begin his campaign.

“David has directed me on how to nominate, other than that I’ve been just tackling my own issues,” he said.

“He is certainly helping with

ideas and how to put things but I am trying to run my own campaign as best as I can.”

Demonstrating vast respect for Mr Winderlich, Mr Peake said he is one of the most honest politicians he has ever met.

“I’d put him in the same class as Nick Xenephon, that is how much respect I have got for him and that is saying something because Nick has got everyone’s respect,” he said.

“It is very rare you will fi nd a politician that will take on all of the issues David Winderlich takes on and he is the one that has shown an interest in our situation right from the start.”

When asked whether his pref-

erences are aligned with Mr Wind-erlich’s, Mr Peake said that is cer-tainly not the case.

“My preferences are Karlene last, anyone that doesn’t support that will not get my preferences,” he said.

Mr Peake has called on the Family First party to reveal its preferences.

“At this stage Family First haven’t declared what they are do-ing, I would certainly consider put-ting my preferences to Family First but they have to declare what they are doing,” he said.

“I would be absolutely amazed if Family First could even think of putting preferences to Karlene.”

THE Federal Government should provide compensation to irriga-tors who will be affected by the Murray Darling Basin Plan, ac-cording to Member for Chaffey Karlene Maywald.

Mrs Maywald said the new in-dependent Murray Darling Basin Authority is developing a plan that will see irrigators’ water en-titlements reduced.

The new plan will reset sus-tainable diversion limits from all of the basin’s catchments to deal with the current over allocation of water.

“It is no secret that this will mean a reduction in the amount of water available for irrigation, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria,” Mrs Maywald said.

“It is likely there could be some impact here as well.

“This will see irrigation en-titlements reduced and the South Australia Nationals are strongly in the view that any reductions whatsoever, the government should be required to provide compensation.”

Mrs Maywald said the deci-sion could have a large impact on Riverland irrigators.

“It is a really important one for the Riverland because this plan is going to be developed in the next 12 months and we need to start fi ghting this now,” she said.

Calling for both the Labor and Liberal parties to support an amendment to the state Natural Resource Management Act 2004 to give irrigators their entitlement of fair and equitable compensa-tion, Mrs Maywald said the loss

of entitlement in the new plan would come about because of previous mismanagement by state governments upstream.

Meanwhile, town hall meet-ings held in Waikerie, Barmera and Renmark by Mrs Maywald have been labelled a success.

With attendance of more than 30 people at each meeting, Mrs Maywald said it has given the public the chance to ask questions about issues that are important to them.

“The discussions have been really good, obviously water has been the major issue,” she said.

While all other candidates, ex-cept for Labor’s Roly Telfer, turned down Mrs Maywald’s invitation to attend the meetings, she said they are still welcome to attend, with remaining meetings scheduled in Loxton (tonight) and Berri (Wednesday).

“I am still hopeful the other candidates will change their mind and attend one of the other meet-ings held this week or next week,” she said.

ELECTORAL polls are sug-gesting the state election is heading towards a hung parliament, again putting Chaffey independents in the spotlight.

Current member for Chaffey and independent National Karlene Maywald knows what it is like to be in-volved in a hung parliament situation and did not rule out supporting a conservative party if the situation occurs in this month’s state election.

“I’ve already operated in the hung parliament situa-tion in the past and under that circumstance I support-ed the Liberal Government in government,” she said.

“I see no point in align-ing myself to one party or the other prior to seeing what they have to offer.”

Mrs Maywald said a

hung parliament has been of benefi t to the Riverland in the past.

“I don’t belong to the Lib-eral Party or the Labor Party and the leverage that the people of Chaffey are able to extract as a consequence of having a non major party member is quite evident and it is more evident when there is a hung parliament,” she said.

“If I was going to swear allegiance to a particular party, then I may as well go and join it but that wouldn’t provide Chaffey the kind of leverage it is currently getting as a consequence of being a marginal seat.”

Mrs Maywald said she would continue working on the Murray Darling Basin plan and River Murray if the Liberals are elected.

“If I am re-elected for the seat of Chaffey, it’s my ut-

most commitment that I will do my best for the Riverland in relation to the River Mur-ray regardless of who’s in power,” she said.

“I will never say that I am unable to assist the constitu-ents in my role as Member for Chaffey just because the par-ty I belong to is not in power, unlike some other members in parliament.”

Independent candi-date David Peake knows a hung parliament could turn things in his favour if he is elected.

“If it is a hung parliament independents will come into their own,” he said. “I reckon it (a hung parliament) certainly could help because when you get to the situation and it’s line ball, all of a sudden, the possibility of having an inde-pendent in your seat gives the whole electorate enormous power.”

IT IS unknown whether South Australia will ben-efi t from a low weather system currently above Queensland and Northern Territory, which is predicted to provide substantial amounts of rain to the Murray Darling Basin.

While River Murray Min-ister Karlene Maywald said the state is constantly negoti-ating for further water for ir-rigators, she said it cannot be predicted where water will go before rain events.

“There is a low depression up there that might result in rain (but) it is hard to say we would be up there negotiat-ing for water before it falls out of the sky,” she said.

“We have a plan in place every time it rains and we know how much water is available on the table and the plan is still to continue to do that.

“There is a proper pro-cess in place that puts South Australia at the table on every rainfall event that occurs.”

However, River Murray Shadow Minister Adrian Ped-erick blamed the failure of the national water deal for not dictating how much of the fl ood waters will make it to South Australia.

“(Premier) Mike Rann and Karlene Maywald held up the national water agreement as the deal to save the River Murray Basin but until there is a true national approach to water, SA will continue to get the raw end of the deal,” he said.

“The New South Wales Government is likely to make decisions based on their industry and their irri-gators’ needs well before the environmental needs down stream, or the SA irrigators and communities reliant on the River Murray.

“SA remains a poor cous-in when it comes to how wa-ter is allocated.”

Riverland irrigators will be praying for more rain into the catchment, with the lat-est allocation announcement showing irrigator allocations remaining at 55 per cent,

with little hope of increasing this water year.

Minister Maywald said any increase is dependent on rainfall.

“At this stage any in fl ows into the system beyond March will be held back in the dams for reserves for conveyance water for the following year,” she said.

With the previous irri-gator allocation rise (from 48 to 55 per cent) occurring due to a miscalculation of water between states, Min-ister Maywald said feedback from growers about the un-expected rise has been very positive.

“It provides people with the opportunity to manage their crop over a couple of years and provides them the opportunity to carry over wa-ter if they don’t need it this year,” she said.

With applications to carry over water closing on March 19, Minister Maywald urged anyone who would like to apply to do so as soon as pos-sible, as no late applications will be accepted.

Impact from system unknown

Candidates consider hung parliament

■ Independent candidate David Peake.

By LES PEARSON

KNOCK knock. Who’s there?Apparently it has been Liberal

candidate for Chaffey Tim Whet-stone over the past nine months.

Mr Whetstone is closing in on his aim of doorknocking every household in the Chaffey elector-ate as part of his campaign to win this month’s election.

Generally considered more of an old school political tactic, Mr Whetstone believes his on-foot campaigning is reaping rewards.

“The response from most peo-ple has been really, really positive,” he said.

“I’ve been invited into sev-eral homes for well over an hour, for people to chew my ear for a while.”

Mr Whetstone said he has been pleasantly surprised how the peo-ple of Chaffey have responded to

his door-knocking.“I’m fi nding it really does

give a more personal approach to people,” he said.

One Kingston-On-Murray resi-dent said Mr Whetstone was the fi rst politician to knock on his door since the 1970s.

Amongst talking the real is-sues of Chaffey, he has also found himself assisting with household chores while discussing the region’s future, including changing batteries in fi re alarms, replacing lights and fi xing blinds.

With busy modern schedules becoming more and more of an is-sue, Mr Whetstone said he found the doorknocking a way to access people who generally miss out on public forums to air their views.

“Some people are too busy to engage in public meetings, so this is a great way to get their opinions heard,” he said.

Come cleanLAST week Liberal Party politician Stephen Wade advised on talk-back radio that the Liberals think it’s good policy to utilise unoc-cupied public housing in country towns to accommodate post release prisoners from Adelaide.

We haven’t seen that in Mr Whetstone’s policy statements yet.

Why not, Mr Whetstone? Mr Whetstone should come

clean and let us know which River-land neighbourhoods the Liberals will be targeting for this policy.

E. Adams,Waikerie.

Cold feelingHAVING seen in my local paper the vision of Patrick Secker door knocking with Tim Whetstone, I was left cold.

Here is our Federal Member for the Riverland (i.e. as the Mem-ber for the Federal seat of Barker) as a shining light for how the Liberals operate.

What infl uence, what pos-tion and what power does Secker have and what has he delivered for the Riverland, especially as a ‘professional back bencher’, and es-pecially in opposition, over the last three years?

If Tim Whetstone is elect-ed, what position, what power will he have?

One can only assume that should Mr Whetstone be success-

ful in winning the seat of Chaffey, his offi ce will run the same line to constituents needing assistance, as I have heard from Secker’s, “ we can’t help you, we are in opposition”.

What infl uence does a ‘green’ backbencher have?

Chaffey cannot afford to have both their state and federal mem-bers of parliament as Liberals in opposition, backbenchers with no power or infl uence and therefore “unable to help you”.

We need to think beyond all the rhetoric of an election and vote in someone with infl uence, who will hold key positions of power, this is a crucial election for the future of the Riverland.

Deb Thiele,

Loxton.

Thanks CharlieON behalf of the lawn bowlers of the Riverland bowls clubs, I would like to express my thanks to Gra-ham ‘Charlie’ Charlton for the ex-cellent media coverage he has pro-vided our sport for many years.

Charlie has given lawn bowls a fantastic run with reports appear-ing as if by magic in local papers, Sunday Mail (and), as well, he has always given us a top billing on his Saturday Morning Sports show on Radio 5RM.

It is very good to know that oth-er sporting associations in the area who have time slots with Charlie and/or receive his excellent media coverage of their sport at least show him the courtesy of a thank you

from time to time. It seems our bowls adminis-

tration has this season been more intent on scrutinising what Charlie decides to talk about on the bowls segment, who he talks too and what he talks about.

I must say that I have enjoyed our Saturday morning banter very much, we endeavoured to make our 10/15 minutes a bit of fun and provide listeners with some results, as well as put up any issues that are of current topical interest.

It seems when he invited people’s opinions on air about heat rules, it was seen by the administration as a possible disruption to bowls, causing clubs to ring with concerns.

He decided to drop the whole thing.

It is pleasing to note that the clubs are showing concern about the comfort and safety of their memberships.

Any opinions I have ever expressed on air on Saturday mornings have always been my personal opinions and I have always had the welfare of a sport I love with a passion at heart.

‘Dixie’ Lee,Kingston-on-Murray.

A positive changeIT WAS great to read an article on wetland rehab, for a change.

Too much negativity about where water should or shouldn’t go of late, so to see the environment start receiving some well overdue

water was terrifi c news. For those which (sic) don’t understand the importance of our dying wetlands, is that we need them for the actual health of the mainstream.

Without them functioning cor-rectly, the salinity and other nasty nutrients would build up, no fault of the river itself but our fault for neglecting our environment.

I am personally looking forward to cooler weather to start our re-veg program again.

Over the years I have, with the help of some caring friends, planted up to 10,000 trees and bushes plus groundcovers.

It now looks very nice on the fl oodplains, even through the drought.

I only hope with the water that they put in on fl oodplains are held for a period of time then released, if not then all they are doing is creat-ing an evaporation plain and given time this will work against the river and surrounding environment.

So to all those volunteers who care so deeply for their river, keep up the good work it’s nice to see smiling faces for a change.

Also a special thanks goes to Karlene for her hard work in secur-ing water for these very important environment projects.

Gavin Abraham,Blanchetown.

Long weekend request

IT IS pretty obvious from the me-dia activity over the past few weeks

that we have another long weekend upon us.

A time when we can attract visi-tors and tourists to the area.

Bring that elusive outside dol-lar to an area suffering a severe economic down turn.

The media activity is created by a sector of the Barmera commu-nity and grand standing politicians wanting to s..t on our door step, de-terring these visitors.

It happens on the lead up to all of our peak visitor periods.

The majority of businesses in Barmera rely on these visitors to help keep their businesses viable as a service to the community the rest of the year and employ locals.

I greet these visitors with open arms, not an image of a smelly t...rd on their welcome mat.

No one is happy with the condition or management of Lake Bonney, me included.

There have been too many know alls, too many experts and far too much bull.

This weekend, the lake is safe, it’s been tested in 90 odd places weekly for the past 18 months, it is a lot saltier than normal than we would like but there is enough water for safe aquatic activity and a great beach, a bit more than we would like but there to enjoy anyway.

So stop sh...ng on the door step to this great community, welcome and be welcoming to our visitors and save your grievances to better suited times.

Ian Penno,

Barmera.

FREE seminars on how Buteyeko breathing helps with sleep disorders and asthma will be held in the Riverland on Monday, March 15.

These will be followed by Buteyko breathing courses, an additional four sessions of 90 minutes over the next four days.

Snoring is a problem for many people and of-ten leads to sleep apnoea – a condition in which people stop breathing during sleep.

This can result in constant waking and the resultant day time fatigue.

Buteyko breathing

helps people to sleep more soundly and reduces reliance on CPAP ma-chines, splints and other oral devices.

People with asthma safely reduce the need for medication as they fi nd their symptoms quickly decrease when they learn Buteyko.

The breathing method is named after Konstantin Buteyko, the Russian pro-fessor of medicine who developed it in the 1950s, and reached Australia in the 1990s.

Paul O’Connell was in the UK in January last year teaching Buteyko breath-ing on a pilot for sleep

apnoea.The very signifi cant

results obtained by the study participants have resulted in interest from researchers to conduct a larger clinical trial.

For a free informa-tion pack, contact Paul O’Connell of the Buteyko Institute on (free call) 1800 001 700 or email info@sleepingallnight.com

Free seminars on Monday, March 15:

Adventures to be had at Loveday

THE Riverland’s playground for four wheel beasts will host the inaugural Australian 4x4 Muster this long weekend.

Ever popular, the Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park will live up to its name, providing a spectacle for all the family as four wheelers from all over the country get down and dirty at the muddy track.

Starting on Saturday (with gates opening for sign-in at 9am

on Friday), the muster kicks off with expo sites at 9am.

The action continues throughout the day with the not to be missed 4wd TV remote control rock crawler display be-ginning at 11am, which involves a demonstration of miniature, lifelike 4x4s manoeuvring around obstacles in the rock garden.

The DP Chip muster photo shoot will be taken with all four

wheel drives at 1pm.In the afternoon, the sprin-

klers will wet the competition track before the playground is open to all four wheel drives to slip and slide around.

Into the evening, enter-tainment will be provided by Barossa’s Lungfi sh Solo and they will be sure to have the crowd involved.

There will also be a show and shine, giving you the chance

to check out some of the 500 four wheel drivers expected to attend the event.

The fully catered event, with a number of food and drink op-tions, including the well known Schirmer Shack Cafe’s hamburg-ers, roast and schnitzel packs and pizzas, is a delicious option.

Cheap alcohol ($3 beers) will also be available to adults, while there are plenty of non-al-coholic drink options as well.

■ PRIZED: The door prize at this

wekend’s 4x4 Muster is a

Thursday March 4, 2010 – Riverland Weekly • 15

The gates and bar open at 9am on Sunday, with drivers attending a briefi ng, before kicking off Sunday Fun Day, which includes drivers com-pleting crazy tasks to win prizes.

On Monday, the adventure park opens up all property tracks at 8am for drivers to use.

Organiser Tony Whateley said the event is a great weekend out for the whole family and any keen off road adventurers.

This is a family event where every-one gets involved,” he said.

Tony is hoping the fi rst muster is a success and will build a plat-

form for coming years.There are a lot of four

wheel drive clubs that hold little get togethers but there is no big national muster event,” he said.

“I thought I would make this the fi rst.”

With enthusiasts coming from all parts of Australia, including Perth, Cairns, Sydney and Melbourne, to participate in the event, Tony is ex-pecting a bumper crowd.

It’s something we have dreamt of doing,” he said.

“Even if you have never taken your four wheel drive off road, you will enjoy it just as much as the bloke who has driven a monster truck.

“It’s just fun for everybody.”The children will have just as

much fun as the adults with plenty of give aways and a chance to sit in a huge range of four wheel drives.

The general layout of the park is very family friendly,” Tony said.

It’s quite easy for people to come along not knowing anyone and come out with a new group of friends.”

Tony also added that the na-tional event is a major boost for the Riverland.

Accommodation places will do really well out of the event,” he said.

Visitors can choose between camping at the Loveday Tavern, or if you are quick, you can book a spot on the river, with two wheel drive access also available at the adventure park.

The door prizeEVERYONE who attends the Austral-ian 4x4 Muster at Loveday will have the chance to win a $15,000 cus-tomised FJ45 tray top Toyota Land-cruiser.

The one of a kind vehicle will be up for grabs as part of a door prize to be drawn on Sunday at 6pm.

All you have to do is sign in as a driver or camper and you could win one of the best looking vehicles on Riverland streets.

It’s got an air brush paint job that will blow you away, new seats, refurbished interior, Light Force spotties, dual batteries, surf rod holders and a set of brand new MTZ 33 inch tyres,” organiser Tony What-eley said. Tony warns Riverlanders to look out for the ‘pimped up ride’ as it cruises around the streets prior to the muster.

“It is almost a street machine style four wheel drive,” he said.

Attendance costs $50 per car, which will enter you in the draw to win the modifi ed landcruiser.

Extra tickets are $50 each and if you don’t have a four wheel drive and just want to come in for a drink and have a look, entry is free.

Sunday’s Fun Day

THIS Sunday the Loveday Adventure Park lives up to its name, with each

vehicle in attendance for the fun day competition needing to complete fi ve random tasks to earn prizes.

The tasks promise to provide plenty of fun and entertainment for the crowd according to organiser Tony Whateley.

Drivers will receive fi ve different coloured cards with tasks on them to complete and some of the tasks include driving to the river and do-ing a ‘bomb’ off a rope swing, driv-ing blindfolded through the track and bowling tyres at coil springs.

A number of different tasks means the day will be both unpre-dictable and exciting for spectators.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAYADVERTISING FEATURE

THE Riverland has its own way of recognising International Wom-en’s Day, with a celebratory Zonta UNIFEM breakfast each year.

However, this year the group celebrated with a dinner on Tuesday night.

This year’s function was held at the Berri Resort Hotel and like every year, a number of awards were handed out, acknowledging the contributions from women in our community.

Event co-ordinator Jenny Boyd said while there are too many con-tributors to recognise each year, the event usually singles out a particu-lar sector to acknowledge.

“This year is the 100th year of the Girl Guides in Australia, so we recognised that area with its great contribution to the development of women through young girls,” Ms Boyd said.

The disability and migrant women sectors have been other areas recognised in recent years.

The event also raises funds for the United Nations Develop-ment Fund for Women (UNIFEM) through a raffl e and silent auction held over the course of the evening.

Ms Boyd said the activities raise awareness for the plight of women the world over.

“A lot of women around the globe get it pretty tough, even though we think it’s pretty hard on us here, so I believe this event is pretty important,” she said.

On Tuesday night, Zonta

recognised the contribution of four women to the Guides movement.

Diana ScullyDIANA continues to be a very active volunteer in the Berri community.

Since 2004, Diana has been a district Guide leader and prior to that time, Diana was a parent helper.

Diana established, manages and leads the Berri Special Guides Unit and has taken the students on many camps, offering the young people, experiences to empower them and to remember all their lives.

As well, Diana is active in co-ordinating district and regional events including Thinking Day, other exciting activities and camps.

Diana has also been involved for many years in providing Christmas dinners for the under-privileged, catering for fundraising dinners and running activities for children in holiday times.

For seven years Diana was chairperson of the Berri Child Care Committee and for three to four years was chair-person for Out of School Hours Care.

Diana is also on the Berri Primary School Council.

Sue WebberSUE was born in Bar-mera and has lived most of her life there. Her family have always been

strong contributors to the Barmera community.

Guiding is a passion for Sue, who joined as a Brownie at age eight and was a Queen’s Guide at 16.

Sue has now been involved with guiding for 40 years; leading for two years in Millicent and then continuing to be a guide leader in Barmera for 30 years since return-ing to the Riverland.

Sue has consistently led guides every week with camps, activities and community events, as well as participating and planning leadership meetings and annual leaders training.

In her role as leader, Sue is able to play a key role in helping the girls achieve and acquire leader-ship skills so that they are better prepared to contribute to their community.

Sue is also a great and trusted community worker, contributing her services to the governing coun-cil for Barmera Primary School and undertaking to be treasurer for a number of community groups in-cluding Barmera junior netball and kindergarten, as well as working tirelessly for the Barmera Uniting Church and Sunday school.

Alma WhimpressALMA’S daughter, Sheryl, began in Brownies in 1964 and Alma lent a hand.

So began a 35 year career as a volunteer with the Berri Brownies.

In November 1964, Alma was qualifi ed as a Tawny Owl of the 1st Berri Brownie Pack and by April 1967, Alma passed the Tenderfoot Test.

On May 19 1967, Alma became Brown Owl of the 1st Berri Pack.

During these 35 years, Alma undertook many training courses

to update her skills. She has also been involved in

jamborees, swimming carnivals, cookouts and pack camps.

Her passion for Brownies was outstanding and her caring has helped many generations enjoy Brownies and later guiding.

In 1989, Alma was awarded the Riverland Citizen of the Year for outstanding community spirit.

In July 1997, Alma retired from guiding.

Alma has provided her time and energy to a range of commu-nity services.

Alma and her husband were in-volved in St John’s, Berri, manning the centre for many years.

Alma has also been a driver for Red Cross blood pick-ups in the Riverland towns.

In 1991, Alma was an entrant in the MrsSA Award.

Alma is always ready to lend a hand in any way on the many commit-tees that she has been involved with.

Joy StoeckelJOY has lived all her life at Monash and has been married to Graeme for 46 years.

Joy began her guid-ing life in 1950 in the Monash Girl Guide Company.

This company was very active and one high-light was the Queen’s visit to Renmark in 1954.

In 1976, when her daughter Ngarie became a Brownie at Barmera, natural progression saw Joy serve on the local association (now support

group) and became treasurer. A few years later, the leader re-

tired and Joy was asked to become Barmera Guide Leader. This was a position Joy held until 1997 when she took over the role as junior guide leader at Barmera until 2001.

The Barmera Guides trip to Norfolk Island in 1991 saw the guides and parents working to-gether to raise the funds.

How wonderful it was last year when Joy was collecting in Adelaide for the Salvation Army and a guide who had been on that trip said to her young friends, ”this is my old guide leader”.

From 1982 until today Joy has been the Riverland region outdoor activities advisor and co-ordinator.

Also for three years during the 1980s, Joy was assistant Venturer leader at Barmera Scouts and on the Barmera Scout Committee.

With the support of Riverland Scouts, a combined patrol lead-ers training was held and this was a wonderful way for both Guides and Scouts to share training and activities.

Joy has seen the amalgamation of the Barmera Scout and Guide Hall into one complex.

Joy has also been active with the Monash Primary School Wel-fare Club, St Oswald’s Anglican Church, Lone Gum and Monash Trust, Berri Barmera Anglican Church council, as well as support-ing her husband Graeme in his many community projects.

THE paved p a t t e r n e d

driveway will be just the start to introduce and inspire you to want to own this luxurious residence that is impeccably presented from top to toe.

From the mo-ment you step inside this magnifi cent home through hand-made ‘slumped glass’ door features and side lights, the quality, the atten-tion to detail and the endless features are immediately apparent.

From its exquisite formal lounge to its divine dining room; from its intriguing interior to its exciting ex-terior, this home is a perfect example of modern architectural design at its best.

Large Italian fl oor tiles meander from the hallway into the kitchen and incorporate both bathrooms and laundry. The master bedroom has a parents’ retreat with lounge space and room for the plasma TV. The makeup room will please any lady of the house and adjoining is a large walk-in robe to be home to four season fashions.

The separate ensuite has striking white wall tiles with gorgeous pebbled feature tiling and vitreous china suites are throughout the home.

With a fl oor space in excess of 282m2 and with a brilliant architec-turally designed fl oor plan, the own-ers of this versatile designer residence were always committed to ensuring that this home was conceived and developed well above normal expecta-tions.

‘Sydney Cove’ cornices fl ow throughout the rooms with dim-ming down lights to create the perfect atmosphere of romance, entertaining or dining.

Plush quality carpets are under-foot in each bedroom zone and qual-ity pearlescent Holland blinds, Luxaf-lex block out furnishings and luxury box pleated sheers are decorative as the chosen window furnishings.

Remote control roller shutters are installed to all sleeping zones.

In the formal lounge, ‘spotted gum’ solid timber fl ooring with diamond patterned leadlight look window trims are debonair and add additional character and warmth.

The contemporary design with its broad range of fl exibility can be enjoyed by the large family, through to the executive couple or the discern-ing retiree.

With so many room options and the highest quality appointments throughout, this designer home is wanting for nothing other than some-one new to take advantage of all the hard work that has already been done.

This prestigious kitchen is perfect for the surrounding home and makes excellent use of the open-plan space.

Its more than just a place to cook – it’s the hub around which your household revolves. Thoughtful design and uncompromising quality with German made AEG appliances offer both class and functionality with diamond fi nish bench tops and raised breakfast bar, white tiled splashbacks, extra provision for large side by side fridge freezer, walk in pantry and abundant drawers, cupboards both fl oor and overhead.

Whether it be the imported Ger-man kitchen appliances, the gas log fi re, the seven zone ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, the Dutch gabled outdoor entertaining or the expansive lane accessed shed, it would be diffi cult to not want to call this home.

Car accomodation for two allows entry access into the home but clev-erly positioned at the back is quality colorbond shedding for another two vehicles plus workshop and has easy access from the rear lane.

Being just four years old and with such an extensive array of highest quality features, take the time to step inside and say welcome to your new home…because dreams really can come true!

THE family friendly Monash Club in the heart of the Riverland is a must stop for a cold, refreshing drink or deliciously hearty meal.

Set opposite the famous Monash Playground, the club offers friendly service with food and beverages at affordable prices catering for everyone.

Meals are served from Wednesday to Sunday, with counter lunches Friday and Saturday and the club is open seven days a week.

Many locals and visitors take advantage of schnitzel night on Wednesdays, roasts on Sunday and members draws and raffl es on Friday.

The club is also a great place to host a function and the venue regularly hosts birthdays, wedding receptions and other types of celebrations in the generously large function room.

Gaming facilities including TAB, pokies and Keno are available for adults.

Club manager Peter Scotford encourages people to come to the club and experience the Monash hospitality after watching local sporting

teams, or even come for a tantalising, juicy steak after taking the kids to the giant playground across the road.

For visitors, why not drive through pleasant Monash, taking in the beauti-ful scenery of the surrounding vineyards before stopping for lunch or dinner at the Monash Club?

Peter said the club always provide the freshest salads and prides itself on value for money meals.

If you are looking for another dining option on those nights you do not feel like cooking, make sure you visit the Monash Club and say hello to the friendly locals.

Soul finalist Soul finalist in World Car in World Car

ofof YearYearTHE popular Kia Soul urban crossover vehicle has been named by the World Car Awards as a fi nalist for its prestigious World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year awards.

Winners will be an-nounced at the 2010 World Car Awards press confer-ence on Thursday, April 1, at the New York Interna-tional Auto Show.

A jury of 59 distin-guished international auto-motive journalists from 25 countries across the globe selected the top 10 fi nalists for World Car of the Year by secret ballot, based on their experience with each candidate as part of their professional work.

The jury members constitute a balance of representation from Asia, Europe, North America and South America, as well as other parts of the world.

All hold signifi cant stature within their own regions and countries.

Meanwhile, Kia Soul was also selected as one of four fi nalists for the 2010 World Car Design of theYear award.

Cars eligible for the award are taken from the list of 30 World Car of the Year candidates nominated by the World Car jurors.

The World Car Design of the Year category, and the corresponding award, is meant to highlight new

vehicles with innovation and style that push estab-lished boundaries.

“Kia is honored to be recognised by the es-teemed World Car jurors for our Soul crossover urban vehicle,” Kia Motors Corporation Soon-Nam Lee said.

“Since its introduction in early 2009, the Kia Soul has dramatically trans-formed perceptions of the Kia brand in many markets around the world.

“It appeals especially to the young, and the young-at-heart, and is a car that challenges consumers to rethink everything they know about Kia vehicles.”

Along the way, the Soul has picked up more than 30 awards and accolades from infl uential motoring organisations and media outlets around the world, including the ‘red dot’ Design Award (honour-able mention), Grooviest Interior on the Ward’s AutoWorld Interior of the Year list, Top Recom-mended vehicle for 2010 by Edmunds.com and Most Exciting Cars of 2010 by TIME.com.

In Australia, the Soul earned the Best Small/Me-dium $26/31K category in the Wheels Gold Star Cars awards, Wheels magazine’s annual rating of the best ownership propositions in the Australian car market.

Wheels praised the funky Soul for its thrifty 1.6-litre turbo diesel en-gine, its unlimited kilome-tre fi ve-year warranty, its 15,000 kilometre service intervals, its long list of standard safety features and its competitive insur-ance costs.

With Soul, Kia has demonstrated that its products have ‘stand-out’ design qualities and an emotional appeal to consumers in addition to offering consumers class-leading safety features, value and options.

On the safety front, Kia Soul was recognised by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the U.S. and given a 2010 Top Safety Pick award in the Small Car category.

Soul was also awarded a fi ve star safety rating (the maximum score) in the latest Euro NCAP crash test results.

Soul’s Euro NCAP safety ratings – with scores of 87 per cent for Adult Occupant Protection, 86 per cent for Child Protec-tion and 86 per cent for safety assist equipment – place the Kia among the safest B-Seg-ment sized family cars in Europe.

MOTORING MODIFIED SCENE with Graham Matthews

FOR THIS issue I thought I’d indulge a little in my own personal passion, the Willys motor vehicle.

Since fi nishing the building of my fi rst Willys Hot Rod in 1988, I’ve become captivated with the 1933 through to 1941 Willys models.

They need not be modifi ed, although I would much prefer they were.

Other car enthusiasts can take or leave them but I reckon they’re an acquired taste.

Today we’ll look at the second Willys added to my collection back in 1999.

I was seeking a sedan hot rod at around this time so the whole family could be more involved in this great sport/hobby.

A very well built 1940 Willys sedan with matching hot rod trailer became available in Melbourne, so I checked it out and quickly arranged to meet half way and bring it home.

It drove really well, was comfortable on the road and I was very happy with the economy.

Over the next few months I set about making changes that gave the sedan the look I wanted.

It sat too high (almost like a four wheel drive), so I dumped it.

The wheels looked like pizza plates, so I ordered new ones from the USA and while they were being freighted we narrowed the diff so the new wheels would fi t without scraping inside or out.

The grills were painted so I had them repaired and rechromed and, for something different, we added splash graphics down the sides,

breaking up the red.Starting a rebuild with a car in

very good condition certainly helps as this means minimal structural and body repairs.

Such was the case with my sedan, although care was taken to ensure all the modifi cations were well thought out and undertaken safely.

The original chassis has been completely boxed with extra cross members added and a complete HK Holden front suspension fi tted together with a Morris Major rack and pinion steering and P76 disc brakes on dropped stub axles.

The rear has HKHolden leaf springs and bolted to these is a 9” Fordlimited slip diff, narrowed to the correct width.

Updated stabiliser bars have been fi tted front and rear also.

In the basic engine bay is a relatively stock 350 Chev V8, with a small amount of bling to give it a lift and bolted to this is a turbo 350 auto trans.

The body has been left original in appearance, although the front and rear bumpers and all body mouldings and badges havew been removed.

The top is painted in Porsche red acrylic and all the underside, chassis and running gear is a similar colour in enamel.

Whilst the splash graphics down the side took some time to paint, I’m more than happy with

■ HOT: Graham Matthews’ 1940 Willy’s sedan is quite the eye-catcher.

the end product which, if you look closely, contains all the colours of the rainbow.

The new wheels, ex the states, were Billet Specialties, 15” x 8” on the rear and 15” x 6” at the front, these being a really high class highly polished soft aluminium that makes any car look good.

On the inside, the dash has been left completely original, including the gauges and speedo.

The steering column is from a 1982 Mazda and the steering wheel from a Mazda RX5.

Bucket seats from a Ford Telstar are fi tted to the front, while the back seat is original.

All of these, including the doors, retrimmed in light and dark grey velour with cloth inserts.

All metal surfaces on the interior have been painted in light grey and obviously new carpets and hood lining were fi tted.

It has a stereo system with speakers front and rear to make cruising with the family that bit more enjoyable but, alas, it’s a radio cassette fi tted in one

of the glove boxes. I guess CDs weren’t discovered

when the Willys was rebuilt.Over the 10 years it’s been in

the family we’ve attended many rod runs and cruises, there’s been many good times, we’ve enjoyed looking after and maintaining it and at the end of the day, if I were to sell it tomorrow, I could double my dollars on the cost.

Tell me what car you can buy today off a showroom fl oor and do that with in 10 year’s time.

Graham’s bright red captivation

MOTORING Cars in the news

MORE than 30 world premier vehi-cles will be unveiled during the fi rst press day of this year’s Geneva Motor Show BBC News reports.

Small cars will dominate the show, as even luxury brands like Audi, Lexus and Aston Martin try to meet growing demand for frugal, fuel effi cient cars.

Many electric and hybrid models will be displayed - the fruits of gov-ernment aid to help carmakers cut emissions.

And on the corporate front, Toy-ota and GM Europe will outline their

plans to recover from recent diffi cul-ties.

Meanwhile, Europe’s biggest carmaker, Volkswagen, will outline plans to take advantage of trouble elsewhere in the industry as it pur-sues ambitions to overtake Toyota as the world’s largest carmaker by 2018.

Premier vehicles unveiled

■ NEW TECHNOLOGY: The new Porsche Spyder, a plug-in hybrid, will be a

big attraction at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.

Parked cars a hazardLEAVING the car at home and catching a train to work may not be as good for the environ-ment as you think, the Sydney Morning Herald said.

Vehicles sitting in the sun for days at a time can spew out damaging hy-drocarbons – one of the main ingredients in smog, a Federal Government study has found.

Hydrocarbons are in the vapour that escapes from pet-rol tanks on a warm day.

Most newer cars have can-isters that trap them before they are released but if cars are left sitting for longer than 24 hours, the canisters can fi ll up and stop working until the vehicle is driven, the Second National In-Service Emissions Study found.

As many as three million

Australian cars may not con-form to Australian standards for evaporative emissions.

“The results indicate that when vehicles are parked in warm conditions for an ex-tended period (more than a day), the evaporative emission control systems may not be able to effectively control the build-up of evaporative hy-drocarbons, as even the latest systems are only designed to provide effective control for a continuous 24-hour period,” the report said.

Emissions downAUSTRALIA’S peak car indus-try body reports that national carbon dioxide emissions zfrom new cars have dropped to their lowest level on record.

The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries said average CO2 emissions fell al-

most two per cent last year to 218 grams per kilometre, ac-cording to the ABC.

It said emissions in Europe are much lower but these measurements do not factor in vehicles like commercial utes.

The industry body’s Andrew McKellar says improvements in engine technology have helped Australia cut its emissions.

“Motorists are, I think, very conscious of achieving re-duced emissions and they are moving towards more fuel effi -cient vehicles and also vehicles with lower carbon emissions,” he said.

Halo car criticalIF YOU want to reinvent your brand, or attract new buyers, having a halo car is critical, ac-cording to caradvice.com.au

Nissan knows this, as the

company has made a consider-able effort to maintain the GT-R as of one of the world’s most desirable cars. Now Ford Motor Co. has announced that it will produce a global performance car based on the re-engineered, restyled Focus.

Of course it won’t be a GT-R killer but the new Ford per-formance car will go head to head with the traditional Japa-nese affordable sportscars such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolu-tion, Subaru Impreza WRX and Mazda3 MPS.

“You will be seeing an in-creasingly global approach to both performance and mo-torsports from Ford in the future,” Ford’s Derrick Kuzak said.

The shift to focus on a glob-al level performance car is dif-ferent from the previous idea of developing performance models regionally.

THE Courier Mail reports that Brisbane’s fi rst road tunnel was opened on Sunday.

The tunnel is the longest of its kind in Australia, connecting Woolloongabba with Bowen Hills, avoiding up to 24 sets of traffi c lights in the process.

Celebrations start-

ed on Saturday when 51 vintage, sports and luxury cars made a charity run through the tunnel.

On Sunday, the public were allowed its fi rst view of the tunnel, with festivities led by a 10 kilometre tunnel run which attracted about 5000 runners.

A handful of locals are expected to be competing, including Matthew Chap-ple, Ben Tanner, Ryan Selga and Trevor and Ben Marcus-son.

Mrs Gale added the in-vitation is open for others to join in.

“If there are any senior players out there wanting a game, by all means come along and bring your gear and we’ll see if we can get them on the court,” she said.

The sport has a strong history in the region, al-though in recent years inter-est seems to have dropped.

“It is one of those sports that is starting to go by the wayside,” Mrs Gale said.

However, she hopes with this weekend’s exhibi-tion, more players may be-come interested.

“It’s not like ice hockey in the sense that it’s not as rough and inline hockey tends to have more rules,” Mrs Gale said.

“It is similar to ice hock-ey, without the excessive violence.”

Inline hockey is a fast sport without an extensive amount of body contact.

It is played with inline skates (roller blades), a hockey stick, puck and pro-tective equipment including

gloves, helmet, elbow and shin pads.

Hockey can also be played on roller skates, which is usually known as roller hockey.

Mrs Gale said new play-ers are welcome to come along and try the sport, all you need to begin is your own skates, the club can loan you the other gear.

“It’s a fast paced game but if you can skate, you can play,” she said.

There is a gold coin en-try fee for this Saturday’s games, while canteen facili-ties will be provided.

The inline hockey rink is situated near the Barmera skate park.

Inline hockey rolls into town

Lyrup Baseball Club’s best and fairest■ JUNIORS: Under

16 winners of the Lyrup Baseball Club’s awards were (from left) coach’s trophy winner Nathan Bradford, best and fairest Sam Hill and runner up Darren Barton-Ancliffe.

■ SENIORS: Senior winners for the Lyrup

Baseball Club were (from left) runner-up Brendan Hill, coach’s

trophy winner Matthew Recchia and best and

fairest Roy Grenfell.

lete, Peter Fisher, who won the under 20 1000 metre event in 2009, competed in the open race over that dis-tance this year and ended up around sixth in an impres-sive display, while former Loxtonian Michael Nitschke ran in the 120 metre Gift heats and also the 300 me-tres, where he fi nished in the placings.

The chairman of the local organising committee, Denis Hann, felt that the crowd of around 1000 people that at-tended this ninth annual Gift meeting under lights at the Loxton Oval was the biggest yet.

“It is the fi rst time I have seen the grandstand com-pletely full for the occasion,” he said.

“It even surprised offi cials from the SA Athletics League,

as they don’t get crowds like that for their city meetings,” he added.

The 2010 Gift was taken out by former Glossop High School student Ryan Ros-souw, who started from 7.5 metres and just edged out one of the race favourites, an-other Adelaide runner, Rob-bie James.

David Gross (Adelaide) ran third.

Lucy Buckley was a popu-lar choice as athlete of the carnival after the consistent performer won both the women’s 120 metre sprint and the 300 metre events.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSSWITH GRAHAM CHARLTON The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

■ I WOULD not reckon Loxton footballer Josh Mann’s coach would be too concerned about his player’s fi tness.

Josh ran at the 2010 Loxton Gift athletics meeting last Saturday night and with-in half an hour or so com-peted in a heat of the under

20 years 120 metre sprint, a 1000 metre race and then the sprint fi nal, in which he fi n-ished third.

Much acclaim for young Mann

■ WAIKERIE Gold’s Andrew Bevan has added the 2009-10 Mid Murray senior Cricketer of the Year trophy to the nine he already has on the shelf.

Actually, he probably needs a bigger cupboard as he has also taken out 10 bat-ting aggregate, 10 average, fi ve bowling aggregate and seven average awards along the way.

At the risk of repeating myself, I recall this time last year raising the question of how far this talented all-rounder would have gone in the game if he had set his sights higher?

That be as it may, he has been a fabulous contributor to his club’s dominance of the Mid Murray competition that last Saturday saw anoth-er chapter completed with a fourth premiership on end.

Andrew scored 628 runs at an average of 104.66 in

2009/10 with the nearest to him in the aggregate BSR’s Matt Griffi ths (380) and in the average, Claypans’ Mal-colm Waechter (64.75).

This is the second time Waikerie Gold has won four consecutive titles (hav-ing achieved it in 1989/90 – 1992/93) amongst 12 pre-mierships since 1989/90.

Pinnaroo and Border’s minor round ends on Satur-day, with Lameroo going into the series four points clear of a fast fi nishing Parilla with Pinnaroo well back, third.

With only four teams in the competition, the associa-tion plays, to me, a common-sense fi nals option with the top side automatically into the grand fi nal and second and third engaging in a play off for a shot at the pennant.

And the position of the last minor round clashes at the half way mark suggested

a real battle for top spot.Pinnaroo, with half cen-

turies to ‘Sunny’ Vogt and Brad Sheridan, had Lameroo under pressure scoring 225 and then grabbing four wick-ets for 110.

Josh Richardson captured fi ve wickets for Lameroo and is 20 not out and along with Haydon Thorpe (41 n.o.), he is his side’s main hope of keeping a challenge from Parilla for a grand fi nal direct pass at bay.

Parilla will want outright points against fourth ranked Parrakie and are well on the way, declaring at 5/334 and having their opponents 1/22.

For Parilla, allrounder Drew Crane scored 162 (in-cluding 13 sixes, 12 in his fi rst 100 runs) and Nick Dabinett 123.

There are reports that speedster Crane will not be available for the fi nal day.

■ RENMARK pitcher Tegan Schwartz-kopff won her second consecutive A grade best and fairest softball award when votes were counted at the Riverland association’s presentations last Saturday night.

Tegan polled 29 votes to fi nish two ahead of Loxton’s Cara Venning.

The B grade trophy went to Cobdogla Blue’s Jo Gregory by one vote from Waikerie’s Helen Johnson and C grade to Melony Briscoe (Waikerie), ahead of Loren Selfe (Renmark).

Gerard’s Gary Abdulla was named Rookie of the Year and Cobdogla’s Chloe Passmore received the Rising Star award.

Schwartzkopff was named as pitch-er in the Team of the Year with Danni Nixon (Berri) as catcher and Amanda Altschwager (Loxton), Hayley Carey (Berri) and Mandy Rossack (Berri) oc-cupying the bases.

Loxton’s Haylee Symens was in-cluded at short stop, the outfi elders were Tyson Lindsay, Gary Abdulla (Gerard), and Taylee Healy (Berri) and utilities Cara Venning, Berri’s Tammy Dowdy and Gerard’s Eunice Abdulla and Kathy Johnson.

WHEN school holidays roll around, many kids are desperate to get into the pool or go to the beach.

That’s why it’s important to ensure kids receive constant learn to swim and water safety education all year round.

When looking for a learn to swim and water safety program for the kids, seek one with a positive and welcoming environment that include parents as part of the learning process - as the children learn, so do the parents.

A well-rounded program will also include all the essentials of water safety, water familiarisation, personal water safety, survival knowledge and skills and steps towards stroke and swimming development.

Most importantly, the teacher should be an accredited AUSTSWIM Teacher™.

Start by familiarising your child with water in the bath at home.

This allows your child to experience the buoyancy effects of water, the movement and force of water and the feeling of water showering and splashing over the body.

At six months of age, infants can join formal learn to swim and water safety classes.

Formal class participation before six months of age is not advisable as medical and child experts have identifi ed that not all infants under six moths of age are physically or developmentally ready to be in a formal aquatic education program.

Class ratios vary according to the age and competencies of students and the venue.

From six to 24 months, one-on-one baby and parent learning

is best, and by 42 to 48 months of age a one-to-fi ve teacher/preschooler ratio is suitable.

AUSTSWIM recommend swimming and water safety classes to be 30 minutes in duration and include a variety of activities, songs, games and equipment to enhance the learning experience of swimming and water safety skills.

These programs are generally offered to children over the age of four.

Many parents are keen to know how quickly their child will learn but learning is a continuous personal process unique to each individual child and a child’s skill will evolve over time.

Ongoing consistent participation is the best way to aid the learning process.

Water is everywhere and it’s not always clear, clean and heated.

Learn water safety knowledge and personal survival skills for the

beach, river, lake and even your pool at home.

AUSTSWIM – the Australian council for the teaching of swimming and water safety™ provides accredited training and licensing of teachers of swimming and water safety™, industry standards, advice and support services, teacher advice and support services, community advice for specialist groups including parents.

AUSTSWIM has over 550 AUSTSWIM Recognised Swim Schools nationally which provide a range of learn to swim and water safety classes catering for ages six months through to adults.

Classes are taught by accredited AUSTSWIM Teachers of Swimming and Water Safety™. To fi nd a swim school in your area or if you are interested in becoming an accredited AUSTSWIM Teacher™ go to www.austswim.com.au

The number sixes Drew Crane hit for Parilla in his innings of 162 against Parrakie.

Millman fi ghts back■ GOOD crowds witnessed the fi -nal stages of the 13th annual pro tennis Futures tournament at Berri-view and were treated to a top class singles fi nal between Queensland’s John Millman and New South Welshman Greg Jones, the top seed.

Jones was out of the blocks like a rocket to take the opening set 6-1 but Millman fought back tenacious-ly to grab the next two 6-4 6-4.

Jones appeared to be hampered slightly by a leg injury as the contest progressed.

Players were again impressed by the local organisation, courts and facilities.

State triples at Loxton■ REGION Four state triples bowls will be played at Loxton this Sun-day and Monday.

Sectional play takes place on Sunday and knockout fi nals on Monday.

Host club Loxton has four teams entered, Renmark three, Berri and Renmark RSL two each and Waikerie one.

Meanwhile, at the same venue last Sunday, a Loxton rink skip-pered by Peter Kimber and includ-ing Trevor Schulz, David Kimber and Graeme Huppatz won the Riverland Champion of Cham-pions Fours competition, defeat-ing Renmark’s Bill Dopson, Chris Karantonis, Eddie Schulz and Rick Stoeckel 13-7 in the fi nal.

Renmark took out second divi-sion and Waikerie third and fourth.

Loxton will represent the local association in the regional cham-pionships at Broken Hill on March 27/28.

SEVENTEEN year old former Renmark lass Nicole Seekamp is faced with a diffi cult deci-sion as her basketball career appears to be moving into overdrive.

Nicole, who moved to the Aus-tralian Institute of Sport under a scholarship in 2009, and has been playing in the Women’s National Basketball League was setting her sights on a place in the Austra-lian under 19 Gems team to travel overseas.

But her performance for SA in the under 20 National Champi-onships at the Starplex Stadium in Gawler last week may have changed her plans.

The SA Girls won the tourna-ment, defeating Tasmania, New Zealand, Queensland, NSW, Vic-toria and West Australia to be un-beaten in preliminary matches.

They had beaten Victoria by 19 points but there were claims the Big V had stood some key players down to keep them fresh for the fi nal.

SA met Victoria for the title – and won 77-50.

So good were Nicole’s perfor-mances that she took out the pres-tigious Bob Stannton award as the best player overall in the tourna-ment.

Previous winners of the trophy included household names of to-day Lauren Jackson (1999) and Erin Phillips (2004) and many others that have gone to the top of the sport.

Not bad company for Nicole

to keep, particularly as she was at the lower end of the age group, so it is no surprise that she is being contacted from the USA about be-ing part of their college intake in August.

Of course playing in the States would be on any budding young basketballer’s radar and Nicole is no different, albeit probably fur-ther along the way.

But her success at Gawler has perhaps fast tracked things?

Maybe a bit home sick, she was contemplating leaving Can-berra, where she is also studying in certifi cate three fi tness and re-turning to play with her SA team, Sturt in the state league while

working towards selection for the Gems.

Now she will sit down with AIS head coach Phil Brown to discuss the merits of her wider options – SA or USA - or even an extension of her AIS scholarship contract.

No matter what, this young lady who left Renmark to pur-sue her dreams with a little bit of doubt and trepidation is really on her way.

By the way, the under 20 age group is unique as unlike other levels, team members are a combi-nation of metropolitan and coun-try players.

Also SA did pretty well at the nationals with the young men fi nishing runners-up to Victoria – mind you the grand fi nal loss came after they led by 20 points at half time.

Seekamp’s tough choice

THE success of Loxton High School at both the annual interschool swim-ming carnival at the Loxton pool and the SA Team Triathlon competi-tion in Adelaide continues an amazing history in a va-riety of sports over a long period.

The effort in defeat-ing established rivals St John’s Grammar School by one point (85-84) to become the state’s cham-

pion triathlon school for the fi rst time is obviously considered a real jewel in the school’s already magnifi cent sporting crown.

St John’s is recognised as a specialist triath-lon school and had rel-egated Loxton to run-ner-up status 12 months earlier.

Three members of the 42 strong team, senior boy Ian Worsfold, intermediate

boy Jacob Otto and inter-mediate girl Ellie Garrard, are off to the National Schools Triathlon Cham-pionships in Adelaide shortly after winning state championship medals.

Obviously for one organisation to have so many sporting triumphs over such a long period of time, there has to be a history of talented young athletes but surely it has to have been much more

complicated than that?But if you talk to people

in the know, the formula has been simple, “dedi-cation and hard work by both students and staff”.

You can talk to any of the staff working in the sports arena at LHS today and they ooze enthusiasm and dedication for the task and that obviously rubs off on the students.

And perhaps not a lot has changed over the

years. I am sure that some

other oldies like me from the old pre-1959 Loxton Area School period will remember the days of se-rious preparation engi-neered by teachers of the day like Noye, Sibly, Ar-gyle, George, Pearson, Ab-falter and Baird as sporting events approached.

Indeed a proud tradi-tion rolls on and on – with dedication and hard work.

Great efforts from LHS sporting teams

Two great opportunities follow strong performances

Solar energy the way forward

Thursday March 4, 2010 – Riverland Weekly • 45

■ CONCEPT: The advances in solar technology alone

present a very attractive investment

opportunity worth looking into.

u u u u

LIKE many great enter-prises, Alternative Energy Engineering had humble beginnings.

Starting in a backyard shed in the Riverland town of Morgan nearly 25 years ago, Alterna-tive Energy Engineering has grown into one of the major players in the solar power industry in Australia.

In the early days, founder, and now direc-tor of engineering, John Vandeleur had to work with solar panels with a maximum power of 38 watts, inverters and other components which could only be classifi ed as hobby equipment.

Today, solar panels have up to 10 times the power of the early ver-sions and inverters can be up to multi megawatt size, capable of supplying power to whole towns.

Since those early days, Alternative Energy

Engineering has expanded and moved to very large premises at 55 Dunk Road, Cadell.

John Vandeleur has been directly involved in early industry bod-ies, which eventually led to the formation of the Clean Energy Council.

As the solar indus-try and the technology behind it developed, John ensured that his skills were well ahead of these advances by attending solar and solar thermal courses run by a number of universities across the country, including UNSW, ANU and Murdoch Uni-versity, WA.

Alternative Energy En-gineering has completed a number of large and technically challenging projects, including work with the Department of Defence in the 1980s, Optus fi bre-optic repeater stations and Telstra satel-lite ground stations in the

1990s, numerous remote station properties, remote tourist accommodation complexes, national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.

Today Alternative Energy Engineering has stayed ahead of the latest industry trends and now designs, manufactures, installs and commis-sions diesel, wind and solar hybrid systems, grid connected systems and remote area stand alone systems for: government, mining, telecommunica-tions, commercial, rural and domestic applica-tions.

The advances in solar technology have made it a far more cost effec-tive alternative, with government incentives and guaranteed feed-in tariffs it represents a very attractive investment op-portunity that is certainly worth looking into if you are interested in good fi nancial returns.

By LES PEARSON

LOCAL dance music magician DJ Sarez (aka Andrew Sarakinis) is spinning out after being named on the bill to play at the Future Music Festival in Adelaide this weekend.

Sarez said he is extremely excited to play alongside some of the biggest names in modern music, such as dance giants The Prodigy and superstar DJ/pro-ducer David Guetta, with acts across a wide range of genres in-cluding electronic, hip hop, pop, indie rock and beyond.

“It’s all kind of surreal,” he said.

“If you look at the line-up, they’re all pretty much house-hold names.

“I’m absolutely stoked to be on the same bill as The Prodigy.

“They were the reason I fi rst got into dance music way back in 1994.

“It’s not every day you get the chance to be a support act to your favourite group.”

Other major acts include Empire Of The Sun, Franz Fer-dinand, Booka Shade, Eric Mo-rillo, John Digweed, Sven Vath, Above & Beyond, Spank Rock, Dubfi re, Boys Noize and many more. With his music on dis-play in front of a crowd of about 15,000 people, with 400 ex-pected to make the trip from the Riverland, Sarez said he’ll be looking to make his own mark

this weekend.“I’ll try to play my own unique blend of indie/electro and really mix it up for the crowd,” he said.

“There’s so much variety at these big festivals, so I think it’s important to play your own style.”

With the big acts come the bigindustry players, Sarez hopeful of catching the eye of

Survivor: Heroes and Villains8.30pm, WIN 9Russell Hantz returns from the most recent series of Survivor in this special series pitting the heroes over the history of the show against the villains.

Problem is, if all the villains are known to be villains, would it defeat the purpose of being a villain.

An identified criminal has no place in society. Except Hamburglar.

Monster-In-Law8.30pm, WIN 9After years of looking for Mr Right, Charlotte finally finds the man of her dreams only to discover that his mother is the woman of her nightmares.

There are two things wrong with this movie.

1) It’s usually the bride’s mum that is crazy and 2) It stars Jennifer Lopez.

Stay well clear.

American Pie11.30pm, WIN 10After a double episode of House, Ten has mysteriously slotted this movie into the 11.30pm timeslot.

Those awaiting their late news and sport update will be disappointed but nowhere near as badly as last week, where an episode of Dharma and Greg was broadcast in its place. Disgraceful!

Highway Patrol10.30pm, WIN SAHeck yeah!

You’ve got to love blonde tough nut officer Megan de Winne as she pulls over random drivers and stomps all over their dignity on camera.

She’s the type of woman that wouldn’t flinch about kicking you in the delicates.

■ FEAR HER: Senior constable Megan de Winne is tougher than your mum’s handbag.

the right people.“Playing next to some of the

world’s best acts is defi nitely a good way to get your name out there,” he said.

“A lot of important people from the music industry attend these festivals, so it’s a good op-portunity for me to showcase my style.”

With numerous festivals now behind him, Sarez will be relying on years of experience as a crowd pleaser to really deliver on what is arguably his biggest stage yet.

“The stage requirements for a festival of this scale are extravagant and the opportunity to play to such a big audience

is a privilege,” he said.“I’m looking forward to

playing on the amazing sound, lighting and stage production.

“It’s truly world class.” The gig is another stepping

stone in an emerging career for the Riverlander, who has landed yet another residency, this time at hot new Adelaide club Apple.

“After my set from Summadayze, I was noticed by the owner and he offered me a residency to play there,” Sarez said.

“The club’s pretty fl ash, a real classy joint and I’ll be supporting Basement Jaxx in late March as one of the launch nights.”

Locals snap up chance to play with inline hockey pros

By LES PEARSON

IT IS time to get your skates on as some of the state’s best inline hockey players descend on the region for a tournament this weekend at Barmera.

Barmera Inline Hockey sec-retary Colleen Gale said after visiting the Riverland last year, the Pro IHL (Inline Hockey League) based in Adelaide was keen to bring the sport back to the region once more.

Six teams from the league

will be taking part in a round-robin tournament as two minor rounds of the league’s regular season throughout Saturday and under lights that night.

Mrs Gale said the Barmera rink is the only outdoor facility of its kind in the state.

She said the state league players enjoy the changeof venue.

“It’s a different atmosphere outside under lights and a dif-ferent surface too,” she said.
