UNDER THE PUMPUNDER THE PUMPBy BRAD PERRY

THE Riverland health system is un-der intense strain as the swine fl u pandemic heightens, with patients suffering minor health issues being forced to wait for up to six weeks to see a doctor.

Riverland Division of General Practice chairman Dr Grant Baker said people with fl u like symptoms are swarming to clinics and hospi-tals throughout the region.

“It has just been crazily fl at out,” he said.

“The bottom line is general prac-titioners up here are trying to handle it as best they can, as you know, there is a shortage of rural doctors.

“If we had more of a clinical workforce, we would probably be able to concentrate more on pre-ventable health measures.

“At the moment we are fl at out with acute problems.

“Practices are trying to be adapt-able as well, some are using their practice nurses to assess patients but they are not able to perform all the same tasks as a GP.”

Dr Baker said doctors have been inundated with cases of swine fl u and people looking to be tested for the virus.

“If you are suffering from fl u symptoms, please contact the prac-tice fi rst to let them know and fi nd out what protocol they have in place for fl u patients,” he said.

According to Dr Baker, it is im-portant to keep fl u patients segregat-ed from other unwell people so the virus does not spread.

IT was an early start for the stu-dents at Berri Primary School yesterday morning but no one was complaining as it was all for a good cause.

The New South Wales Va-riety Bash was in town and had chosen the school to be the benefi ciary of some new play equipment.

In return for the Variety Club’s generosity, the school put on a hearty breakfast for around 400 people from the 110 bash cars, 19 offi -cial vehicles, two helicopters, two planes and a v-double trailer.

Berri Primary School was chosen to receive a donation after organiser of the bash Stuart Telfer had mapped out where the bash would visit.

NEWS that staff at the Loxton winery are being offered re-dundancy packages is another blow to the community.

It is understood 14 staff members have been offered packages, adding to the 10 staff who were suffered the same fate earlier this year.

This, along with the failed sale of the winery to Indian company Champagne Indage, paints a very bleak future for the Loxton institution.

All of this follows on the heels of job losses at Berri Ltd and a vandalism attack that caused over $1 million damage to the factory owned by National Foods.

A further public attack has been made on National Foods with a poster being circulated urging people to boycott the company’s products, a range that includes (among oth-ers) Pura, Farmer’s Union and Dairy Farmers milks.

Understandably there is much anger surrounding these situations.

However, our region is go-ing to need some wise heads to prevail as we face a new fu-ture.

The last thing we need are fateful decisions being made by hotheads intent on taking matters into their own hands, as quickfire responses may only make matters worse.

By BRAD PERRY

HUNDREDS of people ascended on a former thriving river bed, known as Grieger’s sand bar, be-tween Blanchetown and Swan Reach, yesterday to protest against the current conditions of the River Murray.

The 400 people at the meeting witnessed the current dry condi-tions of the sand bar which has resulted from the ongoing drought and warned its fate could be the future of the River Murray unless there is an immediate takeover of the Murray Darling Basin by the Federal Government.

Swan Reach irrigator and meet-ing organiser David Peake said it was ironic that it rained during the meeting.

Mr Peake praised the public for getting behind the meeting and

said those in attendance agreed that the Federal Government needs to take control of the Murray Dar-ling Basin before it is too late.

“They have come from every-where, it has been a fantastic day,” he said.

“There was no hint of the River-land or the Lower Lakes (parochial-ism), it was all about the Murray.”

With people coming from Mil-dura, Adelaide, the Lower Lakes, Whyalla and beyond, Mr Peake said it was a great opportunity for everyone to unite towards the cru-cial issue of saving the river.

A petition was signed and several prominent politicians, in-cluding Family First MLC Robert Brokenshire, Liberal Candidate for Chaffey and South Australian Mur-ray Irrigators chairman Tim Whet-stone and Member for Hammond Adrian Pederick, spoke about their

thoughts on the current basin set-up.

“Now everyone can see we are all on about the same thing,” Mr Peake said.

“They (the government) have got to take notice now.”

Mr Peake organised the meet-ing in just two weeks and is hope-ful of getting a number of River-land growers on buses to lobby in Canberra.

“If they (the people) want some action, I know we can get busloads of people to Canberra,” he said.

Murray River Queen goes on the market

By BRAD PERRY

STRUGGLING with the cur-rent economic climate, iconic paddlesteamer, the PS Murray River Queen, has been put on the market.

Chairman Robert Lo-chert said he hoped the pad-dlesteamer, which employs seven full-time Riverlanders, would stay in the region.

“It has not been as suc-cessful as we had hoped for

and we decided to put it up for sale and see what interest we get,” he said.

“We are hopeful we can fi nd a buyer and they will operate it the same as it has been.

“We can’t guarantee it will stay in Waikerie.”

An advertisement for the vessel appeared in the city press on the weekend and Mr Lochert said there has already been much interest.

Mr Lochert believes cruises will continue as planned this week however, future cruises are still up in the air.

While admitting that it would be sad to see the pad-dlesteamer leave Waikerie, Mr Lochert said it was not viable for the current owners to con-tinue running it.

“It has certainly brought business to the town, prob-ably not as much as we’d like but everything is diffi cult in

the Riverland and the econo-my is not helping,” he said.

“If it’s a loss, it’s another loss to the area and that is not where we want to see it go.”

However, Mr Lochert is confi dent the PS Murray River Queen will continue to run in the Riverland.

“It has got to operate on the River Murray because it can’t go below Lock Two with the current water levels,” he said.

Thieves fl ee to MilduraTWO women from Mildura were arrested last weekend for allegedly stealing goods from several stores in Renmark.

One of the women was bailed to appear before the Berri Magis-trates Court at a later date and the other was refused police bail.

“This is particularly an issue for patients with underlying medical condi-tions,” he said.

Dr Baker also warned workplaces and education-al institutions against ask-ing people with respiratory symptoms to see a doctor to obtain a medical clear-ance, as this procedure is overloading busy medical practices.

“Businesses need to use commonsense and fl exibil-ity because unfortunately, due to the shortage of ru-ral general practitioners, not everyone who needs a (medical) certifi cate can access a general practitio-ner in a timely fashion,” he said.

“There are other busi-nesses who are excluding parents from going to work because their child has got swine fl u, that is highly in-appropriate.”

Due to the infl ux of people going to the doc-tors with fl u like symptoms, patients with other medical problems are experiencing lengthy waits.

Dr Baker said patients needing blood tests are experiencing a four to six week wait in some cases.

According to Dr Baker, the Barmera Medical Clinic has kept 35 appointments free each day but those are being booked out early in the morning and a number of people who cannot get an appointment are going to the hospital, overloading staff there.

He added some schools around the region have had

Industry truthsTHINGS seem a little strange to me.

One person loses his job from the Loxton Research Centre and it makes news-print in all Riverland papers.

Thirty-four people from National Foods’ factory at Berri and four from Fletch-er’s warehousing division lose their jobs and not even a mention in any Riverland paper.

Why not let people know what is happening to the Riv-erland’s industries?

Ian Haigh,Loxton.

Successful startTHE rapid success and won-derful community accept-ance of the Riverland Weekly throughout the Riverland and Mallee is phenomenal for a new country newspaper.

Credit must be given to the original planners and or-ganisers whose vision turned an idea into reality.

The staff, with their obvi-ous commitment, creativity and skill, must be congratu-lated also.

Having Lyn Johnson at the helm with her knowledge of the workings of country media, her drive, her com-mitment to only excellence

and her vivacious personality has been a real bonus.

I know that I join many other residents in wishing her every success and fulfi lment in her new endeavours.

May the Riverland Weekly continue to fl ourish under new leadership.

Flu has local surgeries at full stretch

THIS week I experienced the Riverland health system under full stress when I attempted to book a doctor’s appoint-ment.

Making calls to Loxton, Berri and Barmera medical clinics, I was repeatedly told I would need to wait until the end of the day where I would be added to ex-tensive late waiting lists.

The Loxton Medi-cal Clinic already had 22 people on its late list for the on call doc-tor, Berri Medical Centre said there would be a long wait because it was so busy and Barmera Medical Clinic said there was no doctor available until late.

I was told if it was

urgent enough, I would need to go to the hospi-tal in the nearest area, so I did.

At the hospital I was told to wait, while my details were taken down by a nurse.

After more than an hour waiting, I was given a piece of paper with advice from a doctor, who the hospital had phoned.

Ironically, at the bot-tom it read: “if you have further problems, see a doctor”.

While waiting in the hospital, I could over-hear doctors mutter-ing to each other about swine fl u and patients in another room coughing.

Although my situ-ation was painful, and the wait annoying, I have plenty of sympathy for our health profession-als who are just trying to do their job in trying circumstances.

up to 50 children a week away with fl u like symp-toms.

Predicting both fl u and swine fl u to escalate over the next month, Dr Baker said a community response to the outbreak was need-ed.

“The virus will affect us all in one way or an-other, one way to avoid contracting swine fl u is

for employers to give their workers time to recover from the illness and not infect their colleagues,” he said.

While the Riverland attempts to shake off the swine fl u crisis, Dr Baker believes the Riverland health system must soon turn its attention towards vaccinations for the com-ing season.

RIVERLAND Weekly read-ers have come out in force to support the Member for Chaffey Karlene Maywald.

Mrs Maywald, who is also the River Murray Min-ister, has received a resound-ing nod of support from the region in our weekly website poll.

Answering the question “do you think that Member for Chaffey Karlene Maywald has been doing a good job for the electorate”, 75 per cent of respondents said “yes”.

The poll result follows

comments from Liberal Op-position leader Isobel Red-mond in last week’s Riverland Weekly stating that Mrs Maywald had been weak in support of her region.

By LES PEARSON

THE State Government has announced a new support system for irrigators with the abolishment of the Critical Water Allocations Scheme.

As part of its emergency response to over-allocation and over-extraction from the upstream states, Acting River Murray Minister Paul Caica last week announced the State Government will provide grants to irrigators to help keep permanent plantings alive over summer.

The scheme requires growers to purchase water, after which the gov-ernment will reimburse $260 a mega-litre once closing allocation levels are established.

River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald explained the change of pro-cess.

“We weren’t able to continue with Critical Water Allocations because wa-ter sharing rules have excluded State Governments from purchasing water for irrigators,” she said.

“We’ve had to rethink our irriga-tion industry support program.”

Applications for the grants can be lodged in a similar process to the Criti-cal Water Allocation scheme, at local drought response centres.

Applications close on October 31.

By LES PEARSON

GROWERS are being encouraged to be patient despite the announcement on Monday by River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald that allocations will remain at fi ve per cent.

AgriExchange senior agronomist Trevor Sluggett offered some advice for concerned irrigators.

“Options are pretty limited so we strongly advise growers to have carry over water,” he said.

With water prices nearing $600 a megalitre at the moment, Mr Sluggett also advised growers to stay calm.

“With the current embargoed in-terstate trading, it’s hard to get water at anywhere near a good price at the moment,” he said.

“Sit tight and wait, unless you’re absolutely desperate.

“Usually in September through to October you can get better prices for water.”

With in-fl ows into the catchment low again, early estimates predict sim-ilar allocation levels as last season.

“We would hope for at least the same allocations as last year,” Mr

Sluggett said.“We had hoped we might get bet-

ter allocations but early signs aren’t good.

“There is no need to panic but it is concerning.”

Mr Sluggett also suggested grow-ers be prudent with their water usage and to target their more productive plantings.

“We expect it to not be an easy

year, so growers need to make a deci-sion now on plantings that are mar-ginal economically,” he said.

“Focus watering on areas that they are reasonably confi dent that they can break even or make some money.”

Mr Sluggett reiterated the need to be patient with water purchases and focus on fruitful areas.

“Have confi dence, hold your nerve and wait for a better price.”

“Look at what should be watered to make a profi t.”

Minister Maywald said it was nearly impossible to predict what fi -nal allocations will be but going on current infl ows, the outlook is not good.

“A total of 330 gigalitres fl owed into the River Murray System last month, well below the long-term av-erage July in-fl ow of 1190 gigalitres,” she said.

She said River Murray storages are also low, sitting at just 21 per cent.

Growers will be updated on allo-cations on the fi rst and 15th of each month, or the next business day if those dates fall on a weekend.

Farm smart with low allocations

COTTON production and irriga-tion giant Cubbie Station is up for sale.

River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald said she fully supports the Federal Government’s interest in buying the most controversial piece of real estate in the nation.

“The State Government is strongly supporting the Federal Government looking to purchase the station and getting access to its water,” she said.

While the State Government gives the green light in regards to the purchase, Minister Maywald said there are further measures to be made to ensure the water ends up in the right place.

“Negotiations need to be made with the New South Wales government to ensure the water is used for environmental uses rath-er than getting sucked out of the system by growers downstream,” she said.

South Australian Murray Irri-gator’s chairman Tim Whetstone agrees but feels action needs to be taken immediately.

“The sale of Cubbie Station could be good news for the Mur-ray Darling Basin if the Federal

Government is prepared to put its money where its mouth is and purchase Cubbie Station’s 500 gigalitre water entitlement,” he said.

“The Federal Goverment has a bucket of money, over $3 billion, available under the National Wa-ter Plan which could be used to purchase Cubbie Station.

“I think everyone is sick of the government talking about all this money, it’s time they spent some of it.”

Similar to Minister Maywald’s thoughts, Mr Whetstone also wants assurances the water does not disappear elsewhere in the system.

“This water needs to, not just be bought but retired,” he said.

“So far none of the water that has been purchased has been re-tired it’s just ending up somewhere else in the system, meaning no wa-ter for SA or the Lower Lakes.”

According to Mr Whetstone, further steps also need to be taken at a Commonwealth level.

“The Federal Government must demand that the Queensland Gov-ernment not issue any further wa-ter licences in that state,” he said.

Expanding to meet demandBy LES PEARSON

BASED on current plantings, Al-mondco Australia expects to triple production in the near future, with the fi nal phase of its fi ve-stage capi-tal investment plan to be fi nished about this time next year.

Group general manager Bren-ton Woolston said the capital in-vestment plan is timed to coincide with the growth in production.

“This year we’ve already pro-cessed more in fi ve months than we did a couple of years ago in a whole year so the capital investment has been effective in managing this growth,” he said.

“This particular investment is a signifi cant amount of money so we had to make sure it was going to de-liver the outcomes we need for our growers.”

The State Government, in allo-cating a $388,000 regional infra-structure grant to help cover some of the costs, indicated its support for rural industries.

The grant recognises Almondco as an important regional food busi-ness, which is delivering a range of key components to the state’s stra-tegic plan, including, for example, export growth.

“The grant sends a positive mes-sage to our growers and industry stakeholders,” Mr Woolston said.

The grant will be put towards the costs of upgrading the compa-ny’s power supply, telecommunica-tions systems and logistics.

“The infrastructure grant was important for the automation of our natural packing line,” he said.

“Getting additional power for the next stage of capital works was crucial to the business.”

The telecommunication up-grade is based around electronic

data capture technology, providing instant information on incoming and outgoing produce.

“This upgrade is planned to be fully operational by December this year,” Mr Woolston said.

“Almondco was the fi rst almond

processor in the world to incorpo-rate electronic sorting technology back in 1997 when we introduced colour and laser sorting, allowing us to process larger volumes with enhanced quality.

“This is one of the reasons why

Almondco is a preferred supplier around the world.”

Work on the overall plan com-menced in 2005.

The raw material warehouse and production facility was enclosed to make an all weather receivals area.

The company also doubled its fumigation capacity, installed an automatic bin-tipping line and upgraded its electronic sorting sys-tems.

This was followed by the in-troduction of a unique conveying system, which has less impact on kernel quality.

The fully automated packing line, currently under construction, includes a robotic stacking system for cartons of fi nished product.

Mr Woolston said the State Government’s support is more than justifi ed.

“Despite a majority of our sup-ply currently coming from other states, most of it will be exported through South Australia, so SA will get the export dollars,” he said.

“We actually fi t really well with-in the state’s strategic plan and that is because we will continue to be a signifi cant exporter.

Production is currently at about 10,000 tonnes per annum and an outlook, once the fi nal upgrade stage is complete, is of up to 30,000 tonnes by 2015.

“We’ll have a reasonable jump in our output over the next few years,” Mr Woolston said.

“We’re a very commercially driven business but principally we want to get as much returns for our growers as we possibly can.”

The future of the industry is looking sturdy.

“The demand for our brand and Australian almonds has contin-ued to be particularly strong.” Mr Woolston said.

MTA announces the ap-pointment of Steven Toth, as the Riverland-based HLB Mann Judd managing partner.

HLB Mann Judd is a business partner of MTA.

Mr Toth comes on board at an interesting time, with fi ve key areas under ATO scrutiny in 2009/10.

“In the May 2009 Feder-al Budget, the government provided the Australian

Taxation Offi ce (ATO) with additional funding to ex-pand compliance and audit activities,” Mr Toth said.

Executives■ The ATO will focus

data matching activities on correct reporting of shares and options received by directors and executives of both public and private companies.

Wealthy Australians■ With the increased

funding, the ATO will expand their compliance activities to include those with a net wealth between $5 million and $30 mil-lion.

Work Expenses ■ The ATO will con-

tinue reviewing income tax returns where work related expenses are claimed.

Data Matching■ Each year the ability

of the ATO to receive data from fi nancial institutions and other organisations, and then match this to your income tax return is increased.

Obligations■ Employers must meet

their obligations to remit the PAYG amounts with-held from employee wages to the ATO, and to make superannuation guarantee contributions on behalf of their employees.

Fuller: Bonney refi ll a must

By BRAD PERRY

WITH work well under way at Napper’s Bridge to install temporary culverts to refi ll Lake Bonney, one local lob-byist believes without the 26 gigalitre allocation, the lake would be nothing more than a salt interception basin.

Lake Bonney Manage-ment Committee chairman Mike Fuller said the instal-lation of temporary culverts is progressing well with the concrete foundation, upon which the culverts will sit, re-cently poured.

“You don’t want the struc-ture to be breached or beaten around the sides by the wa-ter, so that is why everything is being so precise and well built,” he said.

Mr Fuller outlined the im-portance of the proposed 26 gigalitres into Lake Bonney for the next fi ve years by stat-ing without the refi ll, salinity levels in the lake could rise to

700,000 EC units by 2012.“It means effectively the

ecological situation would be irreversible, it would be good for nothing other than a salt interception basin, pump-ing salt water into it because it would be gone beyond all saving,” he said.

With up to 50 centime-tres of erosion already to the coffer dam due to blustery weather conditions over the weekend, Mr Fuller said the structure has been well built so far.

“It showed how well it has been constructed, where there was some erosive ac-tion, as a result of the waves, but it has certainly nowhere near breached the integrity of the coffer dam,” he said.

With a cost of more than $150,000, Mr Fuller said the culverts are better value for money than the $200,000 spent on 18 siphon pipes when the previous 10 gigali-tre application was put into

the lake because the culverts can be removed and reused.

Mr Fuller said completion of the culverts is still expect-ed to be within the original timeframe.

“It is still within parame-ters that they were hoping to (achieve), where it should be ready for use by the last week of this month, or at worst, the fi rst week of September,” he said.

The culverts will also incorporate a carp capture cage..

“Ultimately the commer-cial fi sherman will benefi t from it but there is a possibil-ity that volunteers from with-in the community could take that work over,” he said

“If we, as a committee, can get our thinking caps on, we can work out ways where we could utilise any fi nancial gain from that to go back into improvements around the lake.”

MEMBERS of the Lake Bonney Management Committee have expressed concern about Loch Luna being left out of the $100,000 project brief to study the long term management op-tions for the lake.

At its last meeting, the committee was told by Murray Futures, the State G o v e r n m e n t group which is funding the proj-ect, that its geo-graphical scope would have to be lessened or the cost would be doubled.

Lake Bon-ney Manage-ment Commit-tee chairman Mike Fuller said there have been concerns about the project changes.

“Some members of the committee have lodged strong objections to the project brief being reduced, specifi cally that Loch Luna was being taken out of the study,” he said.

“We are obviously looking at the concerns of the members and just trying to determine what is the best way to move forward from here, because ultimately we want the whole community to be with us as we move forward.

Mr Fuller said regardless of whether Loch Luna and Cham-bers Creek are left out of the study, it needs to go ahead.

“In as much as I do agree that it is vitally important Loch Luna and Cham-bers Creek be included in the

brief, I’m still happy to go along, if necessary, with only the lake being the subject of our study because we do need fact opposed to fi ctions when it comes time to making deci-sions on how to manage the lake in the long term,” he said.

A CALL for volunteers has had an excellent response for the Loxton Rotary Op Shop, with up to 18 new volunteers lending a hand recently.

Rotarian Marian Wood-berry said the shop has been undergoing major renova-tions, so the extra hands were needed but overall, the response was fantastic.

The Rotary Club is also looking at opening the shop four days a week in the near future.

Meantime, Loxton CWA is sewing shopping bags for sale at both Loxcare and the Rotary shop to raise money for charity.

Mrs Woodberry said the Rotary store and Lox-care are looking to work together more in the future.

Volunteer boost

By BRAD PERRY

A BOOK refl ecting decades of history along the Pike River is set to be re-leased after a fi nancial boost from the Renmark Paringa Council.

The Pike History Committee, in conjunction with the Pike Implemen-tation Program, researched and devel-oped a book focusing on the history of the Pike River and fl oodplain area.

Originally the committee sought $4000 through council’s Major Community Development Grant but was only successful in receiving $2400.

Written by Elizabeth Nicholls, the book called Pike River Refl ections: Dreamtime to 2009, encompasses stories, quotes and photos collected from past and present residents from aboriginal times to European settle-ment, to the current day.

The book provides information for the development of a plan for a sustainable future on the Pike fl ood-plain and is set to be launched in Oc-tober.

Renmark to the Border Local Ac-tion Planning Association project

manager Phil Reddy said it is a bril-liant recollection of history.

“There are some good stories of what they have done on the Pike,” he said.

Mr Reddy said one of the many stories in the book involves the wealthiest man in Pike River, William

G Bruce, who owned dairy farms and free range pigs and supplied fresh frozen lambs and cattle to any steam-ship across the Atlantic.

If anyone is interested in ordering a copy of the book, please contact the Renmark to the Border Local Action Planning Association.

BERRI’S Uniting Church will celebrate an important milestone this weekend as parishioners commemo-rate 100 years of services in the region.

The fi rst Methodist Church service in Berri was held under a gum tree and later services transferred to Denny Street where they are held to this day.

The congregation also changed names, becoming the Berri Uniting Church in 1972, following the merger of the Congrega-tional Union, Methodist and Presbyterian churches of Australia.

This weekend will see some signifi cant celebra-tions, according to organ-iser John Chase.

“We would love to see any community members, who have had a connec-tion with our church, join us for the celebration,” Mr Chase said.

“People who were mar-ried in our church, or who have had their children baptised, or have a fam-ily connection are all wel-come, as are any of our

community who would like to celebrate with us.”

The Uniting Church’s South Australian Modera-tor Reverend Rod Dyson will be a special guest.

Celebrations include a bus tour of the district on Saturday from 2.30pm and a dinner that night, while a service will be held from 10am Sunday.

Just Like Rocky…NEW column title, but - yep! I’m back! McLean and his Riverland Weekly minions tried to run me out of their paper. But I am a persistent bugger!

Yes, you could probably contain your excitement, but still, this is Pam Perre’s big come-back; I can almost hear Eye of The Tiger ringing in my ears, a montage fl ashing through my head, of me typing on the computer, at different times of the day/night – consequently becom-ing a much better columnist!

And fi nally I climb the stairs to the Riverland Weekly news room and punch my fi sts in the air, because I know that vic-tory is upon me...I’m just like Rocky.

Well, smaller, more feminine, with less muscle and I’m a little more cowardly when it comes to physical violence; other than that – Me, Rocky…same.

I was watching Q and A the other day, it was a special one for ‘Youth’ – amazingly they seemed to fi nd the most intel-ligent youth in the whole of Australia to be panel-lists (I don’t know why I wasn’t asked; but that’s beside the point) – a law student, a law/business student and a climate change activist.

I watched the show after it aired, of course, on the internet (www.abc.net.au/tv/qa-nda)– yes, I’m one of the faultless examples of ‘Gen Y’, when it comes to technology stereotypes.

There was a ques-tion on there about the whole ‘Youth Allowance Debacle’ – in regards to regional kids, directed primarily to Julia Gillard.

Being a youth in my gap year at the moment, my ears naturally pricked up; I scooted forward on my offi ce chair and leant closer to the screen to be sure I heard the response.

Gillard seemed to lose me after I heard “lalala –something about parents having a higher income, lalala”; I rolled my eyes and sighed as some of the ‘young adults’ on the show nodded their heads, understanding her point of view.

Okay, so fair enough, there are people out there who are living at home, who receive youth allowance and their parents rake in a lot of cash…and shame on them for abusing the system.

But for regional kids who have to move out of home in order to go to uni, and don’t have an accumulation of cash building, it is unfair!

Not everyone can fi nd that amount of work

needed to get through...especially 17/18 year olds – who are old enough to cost a lot to hire but young enough to have no experience.

“Well, I was abso-lutely fl abbergasted that Julia has seen an inequal-ity and decided to try and solve it by creating another inequality in a different spot.”

I jumped up in my chair; it was a different voice, one of the younger people on the panel had just -metaphorically- come in with a blow.

Of course it was the law/business manage-ment guy, Mitchell Grady, and, apart from the use of the word “fl ab-bergasted”, he was right on the money!

Mitchy said that “you don’t close that loop-hole - fi x that and create another problem.”

This was a student who, he said, never received youth allowance – I’ve realised, for some time now, that I’m not the only young person of this opinion.

But to see the young-er generation fi ghting back, on a national level; it’s quite satisfying.

I have seen montages of people petitioning against the new changes, in the past few months, amongst these; schools, students, ex-students, politicians – you name it.

Let us just hope this will end up with us little guys in regional Aus-tralia, on the top of the stairs, punching our fi sts in the air, with victory showering upon us…just like Rocky.

‘MATE’ Osborne has been an iconic part of Danggali Conservation Park and after 23 years, he is hanging up his boots.

Mate worked for the Department for Environ-ment and Heritage as a con-struction and maintenance worker at Danggali and lived at Canopus home-stead (park headquarters).

His hard work was recognised in 1998 when he received a Public Service Medal for services to con-servation.

“It was often hard work but very satisfying,” he said.

“My favourite parts of the job included meeting new people, fi re manage-ment and the challenges of keeping the feral animal numbers under control.”

Mate was known for his sense of humour and often joked that he would never see his chooks because he was gone before the chooks got off the perch and home after they were back on the

perch.Mate is unsure what he

will miss about Danggali the most and says working there has been a major part of his life.

“I haven’t lived in a town since I was 14 years old, so I’m looking forward

to moving to Berri, sitting under a gum tree and going fi shing,” he said.

Danggali will continue to have a DEH ranger pres-ence in the park and visitors are encouraged to experi-ence the remote, natural and cultural values the park has to offer.

Danggali, which has recently been declared a Wilderness Protection Area, contains some of the larg-est continuous stands of mallee left in Australia and has been part of the Uni-versity of South Australia’s environmental education program for many years.

The area provides im-portant habitat for a num-ber of rare and threatened species, including the Major Mitchell’s cockatoo and the black-eared miner.

For more information about Danggali Wilderness Protection Area, contact the DEH Murraylands Offi ce in Berri on 8595 2111 or visit www.parks.sa.gov.au

Great fi rst year for challengeBy LES PEARSON

THE Be Active Community Team Challenge wrapped up last week after a resoundingly successful inaugural year.

Riverland Be Active fi eld offi cer Adrian Pipe was thrilled with the local re-sponse.

“Just by the number of people involved, it really does indicate that people were looking for a different challenge and have really em-braced it,” he said.

Awards were announced by Life. Be In It co-ordina-tor Wayne Bambrick with Mr Pipe and Berri Barmera Mayor Peter Hunt as guest presenters.

Mayor Hunt said the challenge has had a posi-tive infl uence on the region and suggested he may join in when the challenge rolls around again.

“From what I gather, my name’s on the list for next year,” he said.

He also announced coun-cil’s intention to continue supporting the challenge.

“We’ll certainly be on board.”

With 500 competitors taking part, Mr Pipe said he was satisfi ed with the interest from locals.

“I think we aimed for 500 people and that’s basically what we got and has people really interested in physical

activity,” he said.“Just to see 15 or 20 peo-

ple going around the track at once has really created a fan-tastic buzz around the com-munity.

“It was fantastic consider-ing we haven’t run an event like this before and people have really embraced it.”

Work has already begun on organising next year’s challenge.

“We’re in discussions with Life. Be In It right now and they’re seeking funding but we’ve already got the other Riverland councils on board and we’ll certainly look at how we can support it any way we can,” Mr Pipe said.

“My role is to work with

anyone who is interested in looking to get involved with other activities and I would encourage anyone that wants to have a chat to me about how to get involved with a sport to do so.”

THOSE looking for other ways to stay active now the community team chal-lenge is over, have touch football as an option.

Riverland Be Active fi eld offi cer Adrian Pipe said the competition will be getting under way in October at the Berri tennis courts with a come and try session in Berri today.

The game can be played by anyone 10 years old or older.

“It’s one of the few opportunities in the

Riverland for families to be physically active to-gether and compete in a sport together, so that’s very new and exciting,” Mr Pipe said.

“It’s very fun, very so-cial sort of activity.”

He said if the Berri competition works, the same competition can be launched in other Riverland towns.

“It is a bit of a trial and we’ll see how it goes from there.”

You could easily walk away from this but you haven’t given yourself that option. You might consider it: staying here may satisfy your need to believe in it but it won’t keep what isn’t working from dragging you down.

TAURUSAPRIL 21 - MAY 20

Once you give something your All, there’s not much more you can give it. Let someone else step in and be the one with the answers. This situation may need a transfusion, but, you’re no longer the doctor on call.

GEMINIMAY 21 - JUNE 20

Over defensive reactions won’t resolve this. You’re dealing with someone who’s using you as an excuse to stick up for themselves. The more you push the more they’ll resist. Ease up. Don’t turn this into a contest.

CANCERJUNE 21 - JULY 20You keep coming up against the same

old thing. Life wouldn’t feel so hard if you were open to an alternative route. Break the rules. Changing your approach will open the space for things to work.

LEOJULY 21 - AUGUST 20

Taking on more than you can handle only works for just so long. Sooner or later you’ll snap if you don’t slow down. Set limits on your time. Make sure there’s enough joy and fun to justify the work effort.

VIRGOAUGUST 21 - SEPTEMBER 20

Recent changes have opened the space for you to grow. Your life will expand to the extent that you can understand that it’s an inside jovb. As you move on to bigger and better things don’t neglect your spirit.

LIBRASEPTEMBER 21 - OCTOBER 20

It’s time to stick up for yourself. Stop letting everyone walk all over you. Getting pushed around by your ex, your kids, or over the top authority fi gures should be seen as an opportunity to just say No!

SCORPIOOCTOBER 21 - NOVEMBER 20

It’s too soon to tell but I have a feeling this will go exactly where you want it to. Others aren’t there yet, but they’re getting closer everyday. Your power lies in knowing that this was meant to be.

SAGITTARIUSNOVEMBER 21 - DECEMBER 20

You won’t get the answer to this question from your head. It’s obvious to your senses that something isn’t working. In times of crisis, or when principles fail, all we have to go on is what’s in front of us.

CAPRICORNDECEMBER 21 - JANUARY 20

Dealing with other people’s inconsistencies is making you crazy. Too much of your energy goes into picking up their slack. At this point it’s a waste of your gifts and your time to be feeling this responsible.

AQUARIUSJANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 20

You’ve agreed to disagree but the pressure of unresolved issues will come to a head. For too long you’ve bowed to others and their needs. It might be time to stand up and let them know how much you want this.

PISCESFEBRUARY 21 - MARCH 20

The risk of losing it all is less than what’ll happen if you try to hang on to this. We only get to have it all when we’re willing to let everything go. This is a hard choice to be sure. It’s time to make it.

The Riverland Field Days are a focus for the region’s businesses providing an excellent opportunity for business and service providers to showcase their products and promote their services.

We at the Field Days, understand the tough pres-sures on many businesses and the whole of the horticulture industry at the present time.

When we look at the his-tory of the region over the past 50 years or so, we fi nd that there has been almost a regular ebb and fl ow of the fortunes of this region.

We are now experiencing perhaps one of the tough-est periods in the region’s history.

And yet, we fi nd that

there is a certain resilience, unique to the Riverland, that has been the ‘hallmark’ of the Riverland’s survival over the decades.

It makes one feel proud to be part of such a deter-mined and dynamic region.

The Field Days are an opportunity for the region to come together and support our businesses – but they are more than that, though.

They are a time when we can share in the social experience as well.

A time to get away from the routine of daily life, en-joy the different experiences and have some fun too.

It is really fun to explore what our businesses have to offer – to see new prod-ucts – to learn about new services and where technol-

ogy is at. And then there are so many other fun things to do too:

■ Relax to the musical talents of students from schools across the region;

■ Experience the taste sensations from the Celeb-rity Chef;

■ See the unique 4WD Show by the Extreme Love-day 4WD Team;

■ Have some fun for the kids in the new Kids’ Corner marquee;

■ Be amazed by the internationally acclaimed Xtreme Motorcycle Trials Show.

The Riverland Field Days are working for business in the region and we look for-ward to sharing this event with everyone.

In great Aussie fashion, the cook-off will involve eight cooks hoping to impress those who attend with a unique brand of food.

The cook-off is being held in the Commercial Hotel’s Beer Garden, starting at 11am, with a cost of $15 per head, which in-cludes a delectable, not to miss two course meal.

Favourite Russ Bennett is tough opposition after winning the past two cook-offs and or-ganiser Heather Pinnington said he has some serious competition this year.

“Russ Bennett has won the past two years in a row and they

are out to get him,” she said.“The competition is very

tight.”In fact, Mrs Pinnington said

a number of contestants had just brought new camp ovens and they are raring to go for this weekend.

The two course meal con-sisting of your choice of en-tree, mains and desserts, are all cooked by contestants dur-ing the competition, with three guest judges inspecting the food.

“Everything goes on prepara-tion, presentation, taste and au-thenticity,” Mrs Pinnington said.

As for the day's menu, it is up to the cooks' creativity.

“It is the cooks' decision and they are playing their cards close to their chest at the moment,” she said.

“Everybody will get the op-portunity to try everything.”

Entertainment will be provid-ed by well known band Rob, Dig

and Marg and a raffl e and auc-tion will occur with some prizes, including a framed Port Adelaide guernsey, bottles of wine and meal vouchers.

Money raised from the day will go to the hotel’s charity of choice and towards Morgan’s riverfront development.

With a limited number of tickets available, se-cure yours by contacting Heather Pinnington at the Morgan Riverview Cafe and come along this Sunday and help support the community.

■ LOCATION: The Commercial Hotel at Morgan will be the place to be this weekend.

Pet’s Life In my day we didn’t have dogs or cats. All I had was Silver Beauty,

my beloved paper clip. ~ Jennifer Hart

ARE you a forgetful pet owner? Many of us neglect our once a year

pet care jobs because we forget when those duties are due.

Nevertheless, it becomes easier to remember such things when we link them to a par-ticular annual event such as the holidays.

It is easy to be complacent about pet care because many deadly diseases are so easy to control nowadays.

While this complacency can lead to forgetfulness, neglecting tasks, such as your pet’s yearly ‘jabs’ for instance, can have dire con-sequences.

So, for a great activity, get the kids together so the whole family can take your pets to the local veterinary surgery for their annual check ups.

That way, your whole tribe can become immersed in the responsibilities of caring for the family pet.

■ Vaccinations: Ask your vet about the new vaccines that are available for your dog and cat and be sure you are getting the optimum cover for your pet.

New vaccines for dogs in-clude canine leptospirosis and canine coronavirus.

For cats, vaccines can now also include protection against feline chlamydia.

■ Heartworm: Easter is also a good time to check on how well you have been getting on with your pet’s heartworm protection.

Have you been the perfect

pet owner and given all the heartworm preventatives your pet needs or have you forgotten some?

If you feel you have missed a few, then a simple heartworm test will show if your dog has a problem and if the worst hap-pens and your pet has a heart-worm infection, at least you will know this and your vet can implement treatment before seri-ous problems commence.

If you are forgetting your dog’s heartworm pills regularly, perhaps you would be better to change to the once a year heart-

worm preventative so that you can adopt the principle of ‘inject and for-get’, thereafter giv-ing your vet the job of reminding you about your pet’s yearly injections.

■ Intestinal worms: Intestinal worms are another consideration.

Your pets should be dosed with a good-quality intestinal wormer every three months, so make sure you ear-mark a time for this task.

Use an all-wormer that lays a claim to zapping away all the wrigglers that your dog and cat can harbour, including tape-worms.

To make life easier there is a new spot-on product for cats that controls hookworms, round-worms and tapeworms in one easy treatment.

Quarterly applications for adult cats kills all infective stages of the relevant intestinal worms in cats in Australia.

■ Teeth: It is very important to think about your pet’s teeth.

Being such a responsible pet owner, I am sure you have been brushing your pet’s teeth every day, but just in case you have missed a day or two in the last 365, maybe having your pet’s teeth cleaned at your vet’s clinic is a good idea.

This will probably involve an anaesthetic because, unlike humans, pets don’t stay still when their teeth

are cleaned, and unlike human patients, pet sometimes bite the dentist.

Don’t let the anaesthetic concern you – modern anaesthetics are very safe and the risk of an anaesthetic is a drop in the ocean compared with the risk involved if your pet has diseased teeth.

■ Behaviour problems: Lastly, with a bit of extra time, why not tackle some of your pet’s problem behaviours?

That annoying barking behav-iour your dog is practising, or your calamitous cat’s claw sharpening behaviour, that is wreaking havoc on your furniture, could be remedied quite easily.

The sooner, you can look into behaviour therapy, the change oc-curs much more quickly.

All you need is the right advice and your veterinarian can help with that, too.

It becomes easier to remember

things by linking them to an

annual event.

A retired husband is often a wife’s full-time job.

~ Ella Harris

By AMP Financial Planner, PETER AITCHISON*

THERE is no doubt about it - retirement looks a lot different these days.

Current economic condi-tions, legislative developments and even rising life expectancy mean planning for retirement is more important than ever before.

Rising life expectancy means that Australians are now spend-ing more than a quarter of their life in retirement.

For those looking forward to life after work, this is good news, but it also emphasises the importance of preparing care-fully – and well in advance – for retirement.

The current global downturn is reminding us that planning for retirement is about more than simply deciding which golf club to join, or which road trip to take.

And attitudes to funding re-tirement have also changed with many people no longer relying on or expecting to survive on the age pension in their golden years.

Being well prepared for all that retirement holds is a must.

As well as being able to fund the trip around Australia or the latest landscaping project, people also need to consider the phase later in retirement when their health starts to become more of an issue.

When planning for retire-ment the fi rst thing people need to consider is how much they will need to keep their lifestyle in retirement.

Financial planners generally estimate that around 65 per cent of pre-retirement income is a good guide for most people.

On this basis, someone who earns $60,000 a year while they are working will need around $39,000 a year when they’re retired to maintain their lifestyle.

Although it might be a long time before someone will be liv-ing off their retirement income, the sooner people start building their nest-egg, the better they will be when the time comes.

So the second thing people

need to do when thinking about retirement is to start saving as soon as possible. This can make a signifi cant differ-ence to a person’s retirement income.

It is impor-tant for people to identify their own retirement savings gap and to take concrete steps to do something about it.

The third, and perhaps most important golden rule for people planning for retirement, is to use the benefi ts already in the system - superannuation remains one of the most tax effective ways to save for retirement.

While investment market volatility has impacted super-annuation, there still remains compelling reasons to invest in super for the long term.

People can boost their super-annuation savings – and reduce their tax bill – through ‘salary sacrifi cing’.

This is where someone ‘sac-rifi ces’ some of their gross salary for the same amount in extra employer contributions paid directly into that person’s super.

These extra contributions are made before tax so they can effectively reduce the amount of income tax the person pays and boosts the amount going into the person’s super.

For people on lower incomes, the government’s co-contribu-tion scheme can also help.

The government will con-tribute $1 for every $1 a person contributes into their super, up to a maximum of $1000 a year for someone who earns up to $31,920 a year.

Superannuation is a long term investment and is likely to be the largest asset a person will own outside their home.

Having the right investment strategy over the course of a person’s working life can make a big difference.

Most people would not think twice about spending time to

The golden rules of retirement

fi nd their dream house but when it comes to their super, many people just tick a box.

Having the right investment

strategy can make a big difference to a person’s fi nal super balance.

What is impor-tant is that people are clear about the level of risk they are prepared to accept.

They have to strike a balance between their risk tolerance and the return they are aim-ing for.

It is time for people to stop and ask themselves if their current retire-ment planning is setting them up for

the type of life they want to lead in retirement.

Before making any investment decision, people should seek advice from a professional fi nancial plan-ner who can help them put strate-gies in place to fund the lifestyle they want now and in retirement.

a quarter of their lives in retirement,

good news for those looking forward to

life after work.

■ LOXTON Bowling Club has just completed another successful an-nual winter carnival with a capac-ity fi eld including visiting bowlers from all parts.

It was interesting to see former Loxton footballer and one of the real characters of the game, Gra-ham ‘Rusty’ Schubert, in a team that grabbed third prize money at the end of the eight day tourna-ment.

The blind back turns from the ruckman of yesteryear were obvi-ously absent, as he joined with Holdfast Bay team-mate Margaret Taylor, Payneham’s Carol Prior and Prospect’s Bernie Mullins.

The $1200 fi rst prize went to Lyn and John Scudds (Millicent) Eddy and Sandy Schulz (Ren-mark) for the second year in a row, second to Mount Gambier four Marika and John Heaver and Gill and Bryan Vorwerk, and fourth to Loxton’s Lyn and Peter Kim-ber, Graeme Huppatz and Doreen Wright.

Meanwhile, in a year when cel-ebrating milestones has been fash-ionable in our sporting domain,

Barmera Bowling Club held its 75th anniversary early this month with it being well supported by

members past and present.Amongst special guests were

Berri Barmera Council Mayor Pe-ter Hunt, Bowls SA vice president Ivy Kluske and representatives of other Riverland clubs.

The fantastic memory of long time member and club patron

Vonnie Fletcher came into play in an historical presentation and I am told that, along with another patron Glen Jenke, this wonder-ful lady can really tell some stories about goings on around the greens over the years.

Current president Willie Wei-denhofer, in welcoming guests, refl ected on the club’s great social atmosphere and reputation which is recognised as one of the best in the state

In the winter off-season, up to 60 players take part in organised bowls on Wednesday afternoons, Friday night social bowls is also well supported, while the Autumn Carnival is popular with bowlers from throughout SA.

Out on the pennant greens, most of the strength has rested with the ladies in recent times as they have been up amongst the leading teams.

Nevertheless, the strength of the club’s organisational skills and some promising results on occa-sions right across the board, sug-gests the day of the Lakesiders is never far away.

And, of course, over the years the club has boasted amongst its former players people that have gone on to represent their state and even their country.

The outstanding Audrey Hef-ford, her daughter Kerry and her husband Dennis Treloar and, an-other young man going places at higher level, James Gregory spring readily to mind. Congratulations Barmera Bowling Club.

Blazers registration■ BASKETBALL is not far away and I had a note from the Berri Blazers advising of their junior and senior registration days on August 30 (5-6pm) and 31 (5-7pm) at the Berri Club.

Interested players must register on these days.

And the Blazers camp may not be a bad place to be in 2009/2010 as late last season there were signs of a more professional approach and resultant improved showings at senior level, while in some en-couragement for the future, six of the club’s junior sides reached grand fi nals.

Who knows, Berri may indeed take a leaf out of their netball coun-terpart’s book as it has produced amazing results in 2009 - fi nishing minor premiers in A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, under 15A, under 15B1, under 15B2 and under 15C1 grades and, in fact, ending up top three in all 13 grades it contested.

I recall over recent years refer-ring to Renmark and Loxton-Lox-ton North as netball’s premier-ship ‘cities’ on occasions but this has the potential to become an absolute capital.

That’s digressing – back to basketball and I notice recent history repeating itself with the Renmark Steamers failing to get a quorum at their AGM and the club again needing an urgent infl ux of volunteers to avoid folding .

I reckon that article is nearly the same one that has appeared annually in the past few years with changes to a few names and dates.

It must be extremely frustrat-ing for offi cials but this has been surely one of our region’s out-standing sporting bodies with so many teams, so surely we can ex-pect the same rally of support that has come in the past.

Tegan Schwartzkopff is the lady to call (0417 588 353).

Hockey country carnival■ LOCAL hockey families are be-ing urged to spend a few days en-joying themselves in Victor Har-bor during the October school holidays and at the same time give their children the opportunity to participate in the SA Regional Jun-ior Championships.

According to organisers, nomi-nations are pouring in from across the state but those from the River-land are a bit light on.

This will be the fi rst time in the event’s history that all matches will be held on grass.

Information is available on southcoasthockey.org.au or by phoning Jacqui Best (0419 831 549).

■ RENMARK Olympic stitched up yet another senior soccer premier-ship with a hollow victory over Barmera Gold 8-1 at Renmark on Sunday.

A feature of the Olympic win was a return to top form by Hari Singh, who was outstanding with his powerful runs and good fi nish-ing, something that has deserted him for much of 2009.

Singh scored four goals.Gold was disappointing and

there was not enough support for Kyle Lehman, who was a stand out

with his work in defence and runs into the attacking half.

In the other match, it was no real surprise that Renmark Devel-opment Squad won in view of their recent improved form, boosted by the addition of experienced Attilla Djirdjinovic, but the 4-0 margin over Barmera Black was.

RDS played 90 minutes of good soccer and was able to frus-trate Black star Anthony Ielasi with markers not allowing him any qual-ity balls.

On a disappointing note, of-

fi cials reported a lack of discipline with seven red and four yellow cards issued on the day.

This Sunday’s games are at Berri, with Barmera Black playing Olympic and Berri River Rangers up against Barmera Gold.

Saturday, August 29, will see a fun day for under six, eight and 10 age groups at Renmark with the fi nal round of games in the senior premiership season the following day at Berri.

The Top Four Cup competition starts at Berri on Sunday, September

13, and in view of Olympic fi nding its best form for 2009 at the busi-ness end of the season, it will start short priced favourites for another title.

On the other hand, Rangers and the Barmera teams, the other top four members, have shown enough at times this season to be threats.

Availability of players and atti-tude seem important ingredients if Renmark is to be challenged.

In the girls open competition, a three all draw between top side Loxton and bottom placed Berri

and a 4-0 win by Renmark Two over Renmark One, saw the Renmark Two side get within one point of top position. Points are Loxton 28, Renmark Two 27, Renmark One 9 and Berri 8.

With both of the leading sides favoured to win this Sunday, their clash in the fi nal matches at Berri on the August 30 could decide the premiership.

Berri, 36 points, leads Renmark, 30, in under 15s and in under 13s Renmark Two is on top, with 36 points, followed by Berri One, 30.

Olympic continues stellar form as Hari Singh hits a note

■ BARMERA’S cham-pion powerlifter Rose Gow is preparing to leave for Bradford, England, with the Australian team that will compete in the World Drug Free single lift championships from September 11 to 13.

Rose, dubbed the ‘Pocket Rocket’ by her proud coach, Kingston-on-Murray’s Don Juers, will lift in the 53kg body weight class masters divi-sion M2 (45 to 49 years) and possibly also in the

open division.Entering the sport

in 2003, Rose achieved a squat of 60kg, bench press of 37.5 and dead lift of 75 kg in her fi rst com-petition.

Considering her size and weight, her best lifts since then: squats 105.5 kg, bench press 52.5 kg and dead lift 142.5, are not only a credit to her-self and her coach - but are amazing.

She has lifted in 50.5, 53 and 55.5 bodyweight

classes and has taken out state, national and world records in each of them.

Along the way she has

competed in four nation-al competitions, grabbing overall best female lifter trophies as well as state,

national and world re-cords in each event.

In England, Rose will lift in all three disciplines with the champion-ships adopting a special body weight formula to formulate the strongest lifter over all bodyweight classes.

Rose Gow is aiming at more world records – par-ticularly in the squat and deadlift.

We wish the ‘Pocket Rocket’ well.

Gow prepares for London trip

■ THE Annual General Meeting of the Riverland Turf Cricket Association will be held shortly.

Talking to outgoing pres-ident Peter Roberts, I under-stand that he expects little change in nominations as far as teams are concerned, although it is reported that the Berri club decided at its recent AGM to put all of its teams up to play in the Riv-erland competitions, intend-ing to withdraw its side from the Renmark District associa-

tion.Roberts did hint, how-

ever, that on an individual basis we can possibly expect some signifi cant recruits, re-tirements, comebacks and transfers.

Looking at the wider pic-ture in the zone, it would not surprise if amongst Pinnaroo and Border, Mid Murray and Renmark District associa-tions, the struggle for player numbers may intensify for some clubs.

Meanwhile, as I said in

this column recently, I be-lieve our administrators in all sports, cricket included, simply have to be more proactive than ever in these times.

Cricket? Greater junior – senior co-operation, return of twenty/20, more compe-tition and interaction right across the Murray Districts zone, a move towards twi-light and games under ad-equate lighting.

Oops – only thinking out loud.

■ THE football career of Ka-roonda stawart Bill Murdoch was well documented not so long ago when he took out a prestigious SANFL Legends award.

From champion player, to coach from senior and junior grades to administrator at lo-cal and higher levels, he has done it all – excellently.

And he duplicated much of the effort in cricket too.

As I said at the time of Bill winning his big award, I have considered him a real mate since I fi rst met him some 20 years ago.

And it is strange really be-cause I haven’t seen Bill and his wife Irene on a regular ba-sis over those years.

But we did share a special, personal bond.

So I was privileged last Friday night when Bill rang me to say that he had decided to retire from perhaps his last offi cial role with football – coach of the Karoonda colts.

It was a job he loved and had the ideal approach for and something that had com-

menced with the kids “way back in the early 1960s”.

Bill was surprised that his sons Ian (Loxton), Colin (Port Lincoln) and Roger (Mount Gambier) were turning up in Karoonda last weekend.

His fi nal day at the helm of the Karoonda colts was to be at Pinnaroo, “I don’t know, something must be go-ing on” he said.

It did, as his contribu-tion and retirement was suit-ably acknowledged by his club and indeed it has been by counterparts from oppos-

ing clubs, but that would not have been the only reason the boys were back – they were home out of respect and ad-miration for their ‘Old Man’ and his efforts.

Digressing slightly, Bill refl ected on his early days in the 1950s when he was playing coach of the senior team but still not eligible to go into the ‘local’ for a beer with the boys after the game – a privilege reserved then for over 21 year olds, and strictly monitored by the law.

Well it seems Bill’s play-ing group used to include the local policeman who conve-niently, after siren time on Saturday afternoons, used to tell his coach what time he intended to get to the pub that night.

And he advised Bill to make sure he wasn’t present drinking upon his arrival, “or else I’ll have to pinch you”.

Having been through that period myself, Bill, you had a ‘good cop’ – but I would have still cleared him to Murray Bridge or beyond.

■ REMEMBER that upset two point win by those great survivors Karoonda over top team and pre-miership favourites Border Downs Tintinara in the Mallee Football League a couple of weeks ago?

Well, it was apparently an after the siren result in most unusual circum-stances.

Karoonda’s Jacob Neary was controversially awarded a mark some 65 metres from goal right on fi nal siren time with his team trailing by four points.

Many in the crowd, and indeed most BDT players and supporters, thought the siren had sounded prior to the grab but some people, including the um-pire, disagreed.

Neary’s opinion is un-clear but obviously he was

either frustrated at believ-ing he was late with his mark or too far out to score that he just threw the ball onto his boot without any preparation or thought.

Result – he managed a freakish torpedo punt which cleared BDT de-fenders (who were advanc-ing and celebrating what they believed was an excit-ing victory) and bounced its way towards the point posts before doing a Shane

Warne leg break and fi nd-ing the goals.

Realising the threat, BDT players had set off like a charge of the light brigade after the elusive Sherrin but it was now their turn to be frustrated – as they arrived too late!

An amazing game in what has been another ter-rifi c Mallee season and for the second major round in a row, BDT will go in as fi rm fl ag favourites. Karoonda and reigning champions Lameroo have qualifi ed as serious threats, while Pinn-aroo shook off some poor form to push Karoonda all the way in the last game of the season.

By the way, in that fi nal round, Murrayville’s Drew Crane booted exactly the fi ve goals he required to reach his century for the season.

■ A HIGHLIGHT of the Mallee League season is normally the pro-fessionally conducted Mail Medal count dinner that rotates around the various clubs.

Well, this year’s should be no exception. It will be held at Ka-roonda next Monday night with the special guest former Peebinga lad, the one and only ‘Lehmo’.

This very funny radio and tele-vision personality Anthony Lehm-ann is the son of Stan and Jenny, of Loxton, formerly Peebinga.

He attended Brown’s Well Area School as a youngster and for a time pulled on the guernsey for

the Bombers, booting nine goals in a grand fi nal win in the early 1980s.

A qualifi ed accountant, his profession helped him to survive when he went off to England and Scotland in pursuit of a career in comedy – something of a gamble surely but one that is today paying big dividends.

As usual, there will be a lot of interest in voting for the best and fairest player.

BDT’s former Sturt player Josh Richardson has dominated the award in recent seasons, tying with Pinnaroo’s Sunny Vogt in 2006,

Lameroo’s Shaun Walker in 2007 and winning outright in 2008.

And along with team-mate, former Waikerie premiership player, Josh Keller, he should be around the place again in 2009, although he has carried some in-juries this season and has missed a few games.

Others likely to poll well are Lameroo’s star ruckman Ben Grieg-er, who played for a time at West Adelaide, Walker, Karoonda pair Jarrod Graetz and Justin Jackson, Brad Sheridan (Pinnaroo), Drew Crane (Murrayville) and Kym Mar-wick (Peake).

Lehmo to feature at Mallee count

■ Television personality Lehmo. ■ 2009 winner Josh Richardson.

■ LOCALLY trained dogs Shangai Sin and Digital Speed both put in impres-sive runs at Sunday’s River-land meeting that was con-ducted at the Gawler track.

Shangai Sid, prepared at Renmark by Nicole Price started in the opening event and later her father Don Gordon (Barmera), had recent Angle Park win-ner Digital Speed in race seven.

Shangai Sid, out of box seven, failed in a bold bid to get to the front by the fi rst turn, and after appear-ing out of the running for much of the journey, fl ashed home to fi nish fourth.

Digital Speed always looked for the lead and in something of a return to form, was just edged out of second place in a good run.

One of the feature events on the 10 race program, the Barmera Graduation fi nal, was taken out by one of the heat winners Drudwyn Bale ahead of Dyna Nash and Black and Bend.

Drudwyn Bale paid a surprising $6.30 with a plunge on Hell Blazer from the Slater kennels in Bro-ken Hill installing it as fa-vourite.

The result meant a qui-nella for Murray Bridge trainer Shaun Matcott, with

his other runner, Dyna Ja-clyn, also a heat winner, fi ghting on to fi nish fourth.

Drudwyn Bale was one of fi ve Matcott winners on the twilight card.

The father and son Mur-ray kennels at Two Wells and Virginia shared three winners between them ;Good Riddance, Sydney Vella, and Connor’s Girl.

Riverland offi cials re-ported another successful meeting as part of their ar-rangement to run twice a season at the TAB serviced Gawler track.

The next race day at Barmera is on Saturday, September 5.

Waikerie v LoxtonWAIKERIE snared second spot, and rightly so, after beating Renmark convinc-ingly last round.

Led by Matthew Mor-gan and sharp shooter Alex Fulwood, Waikerie has po-sitioned itself on the ladder well with only one round to go after this match.

Facing a struggling young Loxton side, Waikerie should all but cement second spot with a win.

Rowan Hope and Ryan Edwards continue to provide run through the midfi eld and have been rewarded with goals.

Loxton was humiliated at the hands of top placed Berri by 13 goals, after being nine goals down at half time in a slow start.

Steven Trezise, Tim Cass and Matt Hammond put in commendable efforts but its defence is under seige.

Waikerie is on the way to a successful fi nals series and will beat an uninspired Lox-ton by six goals.

Renmark v BerriSTILL yet to lose a game, Ber-ri’s rich vein of form has seen it as outright premiership fa-vourite.

Renmark has had a very inconsistent season so far and will be hoping to win in an attempt to take back sec-ond place from Waikerie.

Berri was unchallenged in a 13-0 whitewash of Loxton, despite thunder and light-ning at Glassey Park ending the game prematurely.

The experience of Brett Stokes and Paul Santos in front of goals has been im-portant, combined with the skill of Tony Herbert.

Under 18 player Matt Baird has scored 15 goals in the top men’s division this season and should dominate against Renmark.

Daniel Shawyer and Cal-lum Benda have capitalised on their opportunities for Renmark, while the youth of Aaron Weir and Aden Shaw has helped the side win.

Berri beat Renmark by fi ve goals last time the two sides met and it should be a similar result this time around.

Women

Waikerie v LoxtonWITH an 11-0 trouncing of Berri, Loxton showed the vast difference between top and third spot last round.

On the other hand, we were impressed by winless Waikerie’s effort to get with-in a goal of Renmark.

Could Waikerie cause the upset of the season by beat-ing Loxton? It appears the chances of that are very slim but if the likes of Breanna Seabrook and Anna Kroehn can play well, this could be a top match.

The problem for Waikerie is Loxton’s vast depth with

Steph Baird, Eloise Hampel, Brittney Cass and Sara Jen-zen.

Jenzen snared seven goals against Berri and could pro-duce a similar effort against Waikerie.

Loxton will win this match but Waikerie will be determined not to go down without a fi ght.

Renmark v BerriLICKING its wounds, Berri comes into the match against Renmark lacking confi dence after being crushed by an in-timidating Loxton outfi t.

Berri faces Renmark, which has wrapped up sec-ond spot on the ladder after beating Waikerie by a goal.

The consistent goalie Tegan Schwartzkopff and play maker Kate Trautwein have been in good touch for Renmark, while Nina Frahn is dangerous in the goal cir-cle.

For Berri, youngsters Karina Payne and Catherine Starr have all put in good ef-forts.

Kristen Hibberd has used her experience up forward, while Catherine Starr’s re-bound off half back has been good to watch.

Amanda Altschwarger fi lled in as goalkeeper last round and may have to do the job again this weekend.

Berri will be hoping to put in a better effort than last round but Renmark should win by three goals.

SAF: Reno, I’ve gotta ask you this, because there have been a lot of requests from our readers: how’s your SuperCoach team go-ing in the fi nals?

Reno: I got knocked out in straight sets. Here was me thinking I made it through to the prelim fi nal and lo and behold, I hadn’t. Put all my good players on the bench to give them a rest and I just happened to be playing that week. Oh well. That’s life.

Saf: Don’t make ex-cuses big fella. The season of bragging and boast-ing came to an end very abruptly at the hands of the man who predicted a straight sets exit! My team, Rundle Mall, will knock off Todd Glen’s double fi rst namers this week to go through to the GF as well!

Reno: Mate, I delib-erately lost, because I felt sorry for you, seeing the team you captain will not be playing fi nals this year. This was the least I could do. Not quite the real thing but the next best thing I suppose.

Saf: Harsh Reno, very harsh. Netball fi nals are on this week. How’s the Lox-ton North girls sneaking

in at the last minute and Berri snatching the minor premiership as well?

Reno: Barmera wouldn’t be too happy would they. Congratula-tions to Loxton North getting through though. They had to claim some big scalps to get in, so good on them. Congratu-lations to the Berri girls too. If they keep up this form, they are going to be hard to beat. Independent footy fi nals start this week-end too. What’s going on with Cobby?

Saf: Don’t know mate. They might be planning to come good in the fi nals, rather than dominating and bragging all minor round only to go out in straight sets. You might want to take some advice from them in relation to your SuperCoach team.

Reno: I’m picking them to win the fl ag. Til-ly is just getting his body right for fi nals and will come out and kick some massive bags. They have been there before and know how to win premier-ships. It is a huge advan-tage come fi nals time.

Saf: I think that’s pret-ty much what I just said. Speaking of footy fi nals, I’m probably going to stir

up a bit of controversy here but I don’t like the rotating venues rule.

Reno: I’m not go-ing there.

Saf: I understand they do it for money

sharing but why not re-ward the teams who per-form well and just share the proceeds. As an exam-ple, Waikerie could win straight through to the GF from top spot and have to play Barmera at Barmera. Hardly fair I would have thought. Any comments, or are you going to sit on the fence?

Reno: No comment.Saf: You’re soft Reno.

Any tips for this week?Reno: Don’t get too

close to me this weekend, because I might have a few beers seeing it is the last game of footy for the Berri seniors, so I might get a bit cuddly after my 48th pint of Super Dry.

Saf: Then my tip is for everyone to stay away from you at our Sad Sunday at Loxton North. Good luck in SuperCoach this week-end too mate...oh, that’s right. You’re out.

Catch ya after I’ve tak-en out the fl ag.

Reno: Maybe next year you can concentrate a bit more on making the fi nals with the team you actually play football for, rather than some fantasy football team you coach online.

A distinguished uncompromised residential property nestled on a

double corner allotment is reluctantly up for sale as the owner is relocating.

This lifestyle property will truly engage a prospective purchaser to fall in love!

It’s perfect for the executive fam-ily or the upper lip retirees who seek a perfectly positioned quiet resi-dential address that has privy water views of beautiful Lake Bonney.

This double brick residential estate was established in 1960 and has gorgeous English gardens which enhance its surrounds with a spar-kling tiled pool with a liquid cover that will provide endless fun in the forthcoming months for friends and family to enjoy.

The tennis court has been trans-formed into a secret landscaped gar-den and will be the gardeners dream to manicure and rove amongst colourful and ornamental foliage. Areas for entertaining are end-less whether choosing the decking overlooking the glistening pool or a nearby bbq area for larger gatherings, maybe under the veranda for quiet champagne in a secluded sheltered spot adjacent to the kitchen and formal dining.

The character residence has endless features throughout with a versatile timber kitchen, gas cooking, marble bench for preparation of meals

and an impressive black & white chequered fl oor. Large sash window panes throughout the home capture and allow the picturesque views from outside to come in and French doors on selected rooms invite you to freely escape back outdoors.

The master bedroom is large and has a stunning full tiled en-suite and each sleeping zone has built in robes and decorative window drapes. The family bathroom is three-way and centrally located. The large library room will enable you to utilise as

fourth bedroom, music, and study or hobbyist room.

One of the features is the all season climate control with effective under fl oor reverse cycle air-conditioning having vents in each room. High lofty ceilings are throughout and the open formal lounge and dining are splendid. The open fi re under the sprawling mantel will

add warmth and romance during the wintery months.

Dual access into the prop-erty with under cover garaging for two and brick workshop storage shed with a lean to wood house. Monitored security will care for your prized possession and short strolls into town for retail therapy or maybe cycle your bicycle along the fore-shore of the Lake.

Whether for local or interstate buyers, these stunning estates present an opportunity to experience life on a superb scale in complete privacy whilst within easy reach of every modern convenience.

One of the fi ner residential secrets in life!


Thousands of Australians are being prevented from entering the real estate market due to a lack of savings.

While credit was more easily accessed in the past, a byproduct of the global fi nancial crisis is the banks have imposed a much stricter lending regime and it’s now essential for people seeking housing fi nance to have a decent deposit.

Unfortunately, a lot of people have lost the knack of saving money, which makes it diffi cult if you want to fi nd the fi nance to get into the residential property market at the moment.

What we at Loan Market are tell-ing would-be buyers is to set up a savings plan where they aim to put away at least $100 a week.

We believe if you follow this plan it will enable you to save the

money needed to obtain a home loan deposit and break free from the rental cycle.

The discipline of saving is no dif-ferent from meeting a fortnightly or monthly mortgage payment.

In just a few months a sub-stantial amount will be in your savings account to go towards that home loan deposit and place you within reach of the great Australian dream of home ownership.

DESIGNED around its water-front environment, a family

now has an unmatched opportu-nity to fulfi l their aspirations of owning this majestic river idyll property which possesses almost 470 metres of absolute riverfront. You don’t have to ‘just add wa-ter’ to this property, it’s already there!

The four bedroom brick homestead proudly sits on an undulating rise to absorb capti-vating sights of the Berri Town-ship, Caravan Park, Berri Hotel and Bowling Club with privacy still in place.

It can be your choice wheth-er you transform the 24 year old brick veneer, colorbond roof home into a masterpiece that is positioned in an idyllic setting amongst soaring River red gums and roaming ornamental gar-

dens that circle the homestead.There is a sprawling parcel

of 64 pristine acres, four sec-tions on one title, with fenced paddocks for grazing the cattle, horses or whatever you choose to use it for.

With direct river access, you may create an environment per-fect for relaxing and entertaining on a personalised ski beach and grassed setting underneath the gums witnessing commanding views of the Mighty Murray River right before your eyes. It really is an ideal site for development due to its perfect location.

The brick dairy is still in perfect condition to house the old girls for milking or utilise as perfect stables for the ponies. The holding yard will allow the animals to enjoy the river view as well, and the sheltered lean to will be perfect for the caravan or horse fl oat.

If we do the little things properly, the results will look

after themselves.~ Andrew Duffi eld

■ From Page 52

“Further to that, un-less you’re playing at that A grade level, you’re not really in the running to play in those higher repre-sentative sides.

“There just seems to be a massive lack of commit-ment in sport these days.”

Meanwhile, Loxton Cricket Club has an-nounced the appointment of veteran player Andrew Duffi eld as senior coach for the upcoming season.

After being transferred for work from Waikerie to Barmera, Duffi eld agreed

to take on the role, which he describes as “coach and part time player”.

Duffi eld’s experience will be invaluable to the Loxton A grade team, which has lacked stability in matches over the past few seasons.

“I’ve always said for the last few years that Loxton should be playing fi nals cricket,” Duffi eld said.

“Basically, I will be putting different players under pressure in differ-ent situations and see how they react.”

Duffi eld’s input

should be invaluable to a club with plenty of num-bers but not a lot to show for a number of seasons’ work.

He said the change of clubs and senior coaching role will be refreshing.

“I was feeling a bit stale and I was looking for new things,” Duffi eld said.

“I love playing cricket, so I thought it would be great to be able to put something back into the game.”

While fi nals cricket would be the ideal, com-mon goal, his focus lies

with developing stability the senior team has been missing.

“Most would say you want to play fi nals,” Duff-ield said.

“I just want to see some consistency.

“If we do the little things properly, the re-sults will look after them-selves.”

Duffi eld, 40, will also be accompanied by local cricket champion Michael Gutsche, who will play an assistant coaching role working predominantly with younger players at the club.

Netball fi nals unveil intriguing battles

Renmark v Loxton NorthHERE we are, fi nals time again!

These two teams met last week with Loxton North storming into the fi nals with an unlikely victory.

Renmark has been in the top three teams all season and would consider itself unlucky to go out in the fi rst week of the fi nals.

Injuries and fl u have unsettled the team that looked like a genuine fl ag contender mid-season.

Jo Haynes should return to her usual defensive role this week, which will make Loxton North shooter Kylie Wooldridge work much harder than she had to last game.

Renmark’s shooting combination should be a bit of a mystery, having tried multiple set ups in the lead in to the fi nals.

Given both teams boast strong

defences, this one should be won and lost in the mid-court.

The experience of Lyn Sweeney and Kerri Griffi ths will be invaluable for Renmark, while Lisa Koehne and Renee Williams are tough to crack in Loxton North’s defensive end.

Renmark will want to capitalise on a season’s work and go through but it will be up against a Loxton North side that battles on with ‘shin-boner spirit’.

Renmark by fi ve goals in a tense one.

Berri v LoxtonBERRI should be brimming with con-fi dence and looking to book itself a grand fi nal spot in tomorrow night’s second semi-fi nal.

The team was defensively sound last week and will look to repeat its

efforts in this one.Tori Jachmann and Bec Parkinson

combine well from defence, while Louise Beech has struck rare form in goals, having battled a back injury throughout the year.

Loxton is an experienced side and should bounce back well.

The switch to bring Amber George into the goal circle early last week was an interesting move. Just how Loxton uses the bench and how it lines up this week will also be pivotal to its chances.

Decision making under pressure will be crucial to either team’s chanc-es, although Loxton’s efforts early last week just about cost it the game.

Stars like Jackie Dahlitz, Leah Fisher and sharp-shooter Tess Dempsey have the experience but we don’t see them knocking off a red-hot Berri team.

Berri by seven goals.

AS MANY of us hoped, the 2009 Ashes series is going to come down to the wire at the Oval.

It should be a great match for many reasons.

Andrew Flintoff will play his last Test, Brett Lee may be given a recall in what could be his own personal fi nale and can Australia come from behind in a series for the fi rst time since 1997 and win, thus retaining the Ashes?

England has played its selection cards early by dropping Ravi Bopa-ra and including Jonathon Trott.

Some here say it is a big risk to debut Trott but it is a gamble worth taking, given Bopara’s poor run and the fact that Trott is one of the form batsmen in the country.

Suggestions in the press here that Marcus Trescothick or Mark Ramprakash should come in were pure rubbish.

If Trott is ready get him and give him a chance.

In between Tests I have been

fortunate to have helped out the Lashings cricket team, which is made up of notable ex-players who play in corporate days around the country.

It is a great concept, as clubs and schools can hire the Lashings team, as not only a fundraiser but as a chance for their players to come up against some ex-Test greats.

This year’s team has included our own SA lads Jason Gillespie and Greg Blewett, former West In-dies champions Richie Richardson and Gordon Greenidge plus Zim-babwean cricketing exile Henry Olonga, whose Adelaide born wife Tara regularly attends the games.

Henry is blessed with the voice of an opera singer and is put to good use at the pre-match lunches – a wonderful talent and a lovely guy.

I have the great fortune to have been doing a bit of commentary work with the BBC’s Henry Blofeld, who is one the nicest chaps you would ever want to meet in the

cricket world.There have been plenty of other

things going on, the English Pre-mier League got under way, with some interesting results.

I was in a pub in Essex on Sun-day watching Tottenham beat Liv-erpool and it was quite an atmo-sphere.

Spurs had some great chances to score a number of times in the fi rst half and the emotions of the fans were made quite clear when they weren’t taken.

Fortunately, they won 2-1 and the roar in the pub, along with a lot of hugging, reminded me of the AFL grand fi nal, yet this is only round one!

So what’s going to happen in this vital last Test?

England will play better than they did in the last Test but I fan-cy Australia is back on track and should win the match.

To you all at home, enjoy the viewing on tv – hopefully it will be a cracker of a match.

Second semi-fi nalCobdogla v

ParingaA HUGE crowd will be on hand at Paringa Oval to see which side will be the fi rst to cement its spot in the grand fi nal.

Minor premier Cobdogla has had its confi dence dented over the past month after looking unbeatable midway through the season.

However, Cobby’s player list has immense depth and with a double chance, the Eagles are al-most assured a shot at the premiership.

The Eagles would be encouraged by the re-turn of star forward Kym Sampson, who bagged eight goals in the loss to Wunkar.

Its defence continues to be an impenetrable for-tress, conceding just 916

points so far this year, led by Zac Walker, Rob Smyth and Damian Crowe.

Deane Mitchell is al-ways strong at the football, while Leon Henderson, Luke Hefford, Matthew Golding and captain Lyn-don Fridd have plenty of fi nals experience.

The return of match winning forward Dar-rel Tilbrook, who has kicked 49 goals, will be a welcome addition to the side.

Cobby will face the in-form team of the compe-tition in Paringa, which is on a roll after eight wins

in a row.The Swans beat the

Eagles by 50 points last time the two sides met and have a golden oppor-tunity to do it again this weekend.

Captain Andrew Lloyd has been amongst the best players in the compe-tition this season, while Shannon Hissey and Jono Wood are consistent con-tributors.

Brendan King hits the footy hard and Chris Gardner will be closely watched by Cobby’s de-fence.

Leading goalkicker Anthony Lippis, with 77 goals, has been quiet to his standards over the past two rounds and could kick a bag against Cobby.

The intense pressure in this game will make it an absolute ripper and we think Cobdogla will not give up an opportunity to play in another grand fi nal, winning by two goals.

First semi-fi nal Lameroo v Pinnaroo

IT’S that time of the year again, spring is in the air, eve-ryone’s shedding their clothes and fi nals football is being played.

Reigning premiers Lameroo go into this match against the very up and down Pinnaroo.

The Hawks wouldn’t be de-lighted with their premiership defence so far.

However, this is the time when dreams are made and Lameroo surprised everyone but themselves last season in knocking off Border Downs Tintinara in the grand fi nal.

The Hawks are ripe to do the damage again at the pointy end of the season.

Pinnaroo has been starved of premierships in recent times and has the side to head deep into the fi nals.

It’s whether the Suparoos have the heart and consistency to do so that will decide their fate.

The big question for

Pinnaroo will be whether its tall man brigade of Ryan, Wade and Chad Nickolls can contain the dominance of Ben Grieger, who is the big favourite for the Mail Medal.

Grieger proved the differ-ence in last year’s fi nals and could do so again.

The big man provides good service to Shaun Walker, Hayden Thorpe, Stephen Kerley and Brad Zerk.

Brad Sheridan leads a Pinnaroo midfi eld which will be set a massive task. If Sheri-dan and his mates Brett Gum, Leith Dabinett and Clint Mus-ter can all fi re, an upset is in the offi ng. The forward lines of both sides are exceptional, with scoring options a plenty.

Chris Philbey is the man to stop for the Hawks, while Thomas Keogh is the man, along with the diminutive Sunyl Vogt, up forward for Pinnaroo.

We’re tipping a close game throughout but Lameroo will pull away in the last to win by six goals and set up a prelimi-nary fi nal berth.

■ LEADER: Assistant coach Rodney Maynard will need to help get the best out of the Hawks this weekend.

First semi-fi nal Ramco v Wunkar

FOR one of these clubs the end of the season is near but for the other, it could be the start on the road to the premiership.

Looming as one of the best games of the year, both teams have proven to be worthy fi nals contend-ers and will hit the ball harder than ever at Cobdogla Oval.

Ramco found the going tough against the three teams above it on the ladder towards the end of the season and this will be a real test of character for a side that is capable of winning the fl ag.

On the other hand, Wunkar has had a yo-yo season but its win against Cobdogla in the fi nal round holds it in good stead for the semi-fi nal.

After a six year absence from fi nals in the Independent competi-tion, the Bulldogs appear ready to match it with the best.

Captain Daniel Evans has been a leader for the club in the middle of the ground, while four time Duthie Medalist Shane Schulz has enjoyed playing out of the goal square this season.

Nick Allan and Sean Gray had good matches against Cobby, while youngster Nathan Brown managed three goals.

It was a spirited effort against the reigning premiers and when Wunkar plays as a team, it is almost unstoppable.

Harley Bennell looms as a game breaker with his exquisite skills, while Steven Crouch will feature prominently in hard ball gets.

Lincoln Evans and Tim Hucks could be important contributors to the score against Ramco.

The Roosters know too much is at stake to take this game lightly and will be fi elding a strong side af-ter a season plagued by injury.

While Ramco fi nished above Wunkar, the latter will be favourites going into this fi nal.

A clinical display against Brown’s Well last start saw the side gel together superbly in time for this match.

Midfi elder Jason Marr has been a stand out performer through the midfi eld as well as up forward, kicking 42 goals.

Alastair Geeham and Marcus McGrath are important in front of goal and need to kick six pointers this weekend.

The Roosters will be hoping to keep the services of Ricky Ebert, who can add to the number one at-tack in the competition after boot-ing fi ve goals against the Bombers.

The Hole brothers Nigel and Ja-cob are vital to Ramco putting in a four quarter effort.

On paper, Ramco has scored 210 more points than Wunkar and has let through 417 points less than the Bulldogs.

We are fi nding it hard to choose a winner in this one but think Wun-kar will win by three goals.

THE BOTTOM LINE

THE BOTTOM LINE

BERRI youngster David Han-kin is this week’s rising star nom-ination, after a brilliant fi ve-goal haul against Loxton last week.

Hankin has played every game for the Demons this year, after fronting up for West Ad-elaide under 17s last season.

Playing predominantly a half-forward role, Hankin has combined fi tness with fi nesse this season, snaring regular goals and working hard around the stoppages.

He also has a great set of hands on him for a short player, while his skills are just about im-maculate on both sides of the body.

At just 16 years old, he cer-tainly has a bright future ahead of him, possibly at a higher level. Well done David.

First semi-fi nalSedan/Cambrai v Morgan/Cadell

AFTER again testing BSR in the fi nal minor round, Sedan/Cam-brai goes into this weekend’s fi rst semi-fi nal against Morgan/Cadell determined to prove it can match it with the league’s best.

Despite not winning a game, an undermanned Morgan/Ca-dell will be wanting to put in a credible performance to fi nish the season.

Nearly at full strength this weekend, Magpies coach Dean Adam said the side needs to bounce back after its “worst game of the year” last round.

Full forward Simon Noack is a key player in the Magpies fi -nals campaign and will need to boot plenty of goals for his side to kick a winning score.

With a formidable back unit, Sedan/Cambrai will starve Morgan/Cadell of scoring op-tions, with captain Tarrant Smith leading the way.

Scott Starkey has had plenty of challenging jobs on talented forwards this season and has ex-celled.

Off the half back fl ank, Ryan Johns is a quick, creative player, while young Matt Linton is an-other solid defensive option.

Ashley Klose has been dan-gerous from the half forward line but will need to contribute more on the scoreboard to help his side further, along with Paul Burgemeister and Callan Waye.

In previous encounters this

season, Sedan/Cambrai beat Morgan Cadell by 191, 239, 213, 72 and 116 points.

Morgan/Cadell is capable of putting up a competitive per-formance after getting within 12 goals of Sedan/Cambrai in round four.

Veteran Andrew Modistach starred on that occasion, while Mark Woods and Bryce Mat-thews kicked three goals.

While a selection of those players will not be available this weekend, Max Baddack and Nick Black will put in com-mendable efforts.

Ben Dreckow and Matthew Doecke need to kick goals in what could be the club’s last ever fi nal.

Watch out for big games from Magpie pair Russell Loffl er and Alex McGorman this week-end.

After not scoring at all in the fi rst round, Morgan/Ca-dell managed to kick a score every game of the season, with only 11 scoreless quarters since round fi ve.

In fact, if the Tigers had kicked more accurately this sea-son, kicking 48 goals and 52 points, they may have not lost so many games by such large margins.

Sedan/Cambrai has been more accurate and its 231 goals and 155 points for the season, shows the difference between itself and Morgan/Cadell.

We are tipping Sedan/Cam-brai to be victorious by a hefty margin but hope Morgan/Ca-dell put up a fi ght in what will be its last game of the season.

Loxton v Loxton NorthWITH Pete Smith out, Loxton North may see itself in with a bit of a sniff to record its fi rst win of the season since round three.

Getting the match-ups right with Loxton is half the battle, the Tigers boasting plenty of height all over the park.

Shane Schubert wreaks havoc in the air, his sheer size and strength a tough match-up for any defender.

He could possibly be a job for young Panther Josh Voigt.

Nick Uren, Pat Portolesi and Leigh Kru-ger’s impact in the midfi eld has freed up

Renmark v Waikerie

BOTH teams are fi nals bound but what form will they carry into the year’s pointy end of the season?

Waikerie was pounded by a re-lentless Barmera-Monash last week, while Renmark has won its last two matches with conviction.

Waikerie still remains the Rov-ers’ bogey team this year and will

need to rebound strongly to re-es-tablish some of the confi dence built throughout the season.

Renmark’s forward structure will be of interest, with Matt Camplin, Craig Seekamp and Peter Dempsey all playing roles deep in attack.

Aaron Bland’s return to defence has been stellar and he will take a key defensive role along with Ben Kayser, while the run and carry be-tween youngsters Waikerie’s Tim

Bevan and Gerard Dutton and Ren-mark’s Jaryd Rowe and Harry Beavis will be vital.

Simon Callahan sets up a lot of Renmark’s play from the half-back line, so a tagging job to shut him down might be the key to Waikerie knocking off the Rovers and we’ll t i p them to do so by about 20 points.

Rhys Mitchell to play a variety of roles, particularly up for-ward, and he will need to be watched closely.

For the Panthers, Brett Stephens fi ghts hard week in, week out and is a goal scoring option, while Chris Kropinyeri can be dangerous around goals and tackles well.

Ash Montgomery is almost the forgot-ten star of the Ti-gers, yet another key player who will come i n handy come fi nals time.

Loxton by 10 goals.

Barmera-Monash v Berri

ANOTHER hard-hitting contest is on the cards, the Demons looking for one last win un-der Grant Russell and the Roos coming off a surprise pasting of Waikerie.

Things just clicked for Barmera-Monash last week, as they had earlier in the season, with utility Tyson Swanbury, Whillas Medal roughie Dillon Millard and midfi elder Jack Selfe all playing stellar roles in the win.

With wingman Chris Hughes playing reserves last week, Barmera-Monash pos-sibly has the depth to give the fl ag a real shake.

Berri will be out to sap all the confi dence it can out of the Roos.

Dylan Brooks should be over his cold and ready to tear the game apart, while Geor-die Franks looms dangerous around goals.

Defenders Stephen Raeder and Nathan Geyer have been great for the Demons and Raeder’s likely match-up on ei-ther Brad Wilksch or Ryan Villis should be a cracker.

There’s plenty of fi re in the belly and considering there is so little on the line, the hype surrounding this encounter is almost fever pitch.

We’ll go with the Demons in their grand fi nal by 20 points.

■ CONSISTENT: Dillon Millard has been a solid contributor all season

for the Roos.

Stop looking at me, Swan!

~ Adam Sandler,

as Happy Gilmore.

SPECTACLE Lakes at Loveday have been reborn with an environmental water allocation.

What was recently a barren ba-sin surrounded by dying gums trees has been transformed into a living, vibrant wetland.

The fi rst thing visitors encoun-ter is a ‘Road Closed’ sign as they approach the lakes.

Property owner Tony Whateley has closed off the tracks surround-ing the lakes to all vehicle traffi c.

“There are so many birds on the lake, I decided to keep the 4WDs away,” Tony said.

“Visitors can walk around the lake and take in the sights without disturbing the fl ora and fauna.”

I was lucky enough to wander down to the edge of the lake as the sun was setting.

Quietly sitting on a log was a family of black swans with newly hatched cygnets cruising past.

The only sounds I could hear were that of the many frogs that croaked late into the night.

I was amazed at the num-ber of birds that fl ew from tree to tree along the corridor of gums surrounding the lake that surely must be appreciating a very long drink.

Apart from the regular galahs and ringneck parrots, numerous grey butcher birds, white plumed honeyeaters and laughing kooka-

burras were sighted. I returned the next morning

and parked on top of the near-by hill to take in the panoramic views.

With binoculars I was able

to spot the Australian white ibis, spur-winged lapwing and black-winged stilts dotted around the lake.

“Every day I come out, there are a few new varieties of birds on and

around the lake,” Tony said.A member of the Local Action

Planning Committee, Tony is keen to share this unique environment with visitors.

A number of walking tracks

around the property, along with a bird hide overlooking the lakes are in the plans for the near future.

“We are looking at catering for a wider range of visitors with diverse interests,” Tony said.

Water brings life to Loveday

■ SPECTACLE: Spectacle Lakes at Loveday have been reborn with an environmental water allocation, bringing with it an abundance of wildlife, including black swans.

GET THE EDGE WITH TOYOTA

NEW LOOKS MEET NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Toyota has recently launched two new models: the new look

Camry and the all-new 3rd Generation Prius. The Camry

now boasts an 11% improvement in fuel efficiency on

automatic models with fuel consumption of 8.8L/100 km* on

the official combined cycle. It also comes standard with six

SRS airbags, BluetoothTM^ hands-free mobile compatibility,

a six-speaker sound system and an auxiliary audio-input

jack. And its good looks are now even sharper with a newly

designed grille and front bumper, large lower intake, restyled

projector headlamps and restyled tail lamps.

As for the Prius, the Hybrid Synergy Drive system

mates a bigger and more powerful petrol engine with

an improved electric motor to boost its power output by

21% to 100kW. It’s also the cleanest production car sold

in Australia with CO² emissions of 89 grams/km which

makes it the only car on the local market under 100g.

Equally amazing is the fact that the Prius uses the heat

it absorbs to power its air conditioning while it’s parked

(i-Tech model only); and state of the art technology even

means Prius can park itself for you~.

WORK HORSES THAT WORK EVEN HARDER

Toyota’s workhorses, such as the HiLux (wholesales

September 2009), LC70 and LC200 ranges, now work

even harder thanks to upgrades delivering enhanced

specifications. And don’t forget, if you’re running a

business with an annual turnover of less than $2 million,

you may be eligible for a 50% tax deduction if you

purchase a Toyota before December 31, 2009. |Talk with

your tax advisor to see if your business is eligible.

On top of this, from August production, the unbreakable

3.0L HiLux 4x2 Turbo Diesel range has upgraded

specification and is now at a sensational new price over

$3,000 better than the previous 2009 model.

The new Toyota Camry Altise exceeded many of my initial

expectations.~ motorpoint.com.au

THE appeal of Toyota Camry, Australia’s best-selling mid-size

car for the past 15 years, has been boosted by upgrades that further improve its fuel effi ciency, styling, features and value.

Fuel-consumption on the volume selling automatic models has been improved by more than 11 per cent to 8.8 litres per 100km on the offi cial combined cycle.

The lower fuel use has been achieved by changes to the powerful 2.4 litre four cylinder petrol engine and the fi ve speed automatic transmission.

Camry has also been enhanced inside and out with new styling, as well as added safety and conve-nience items.

All Camry models now have six airbags, Bluetooth hands free telephone com-patibility, sound systems with at least six speakers, an auxiliary audio-input jack and LED tail lamps.

Ateva and Grande are now fi tted with a rear cam-era.

The improvements, along with revised prices,

some of which have been reduced, have increased the overall value represented by Camry.

Styling updates CHANGES to the nose incor-porate an integrated design with feature lines on the bonnet fl owing down to the body coloured bumper.

The curved grille bars on Altise, Ateva and Grande models accentuate the Toyota logo, while chrome accents add a prestigious appearance.

Sportivo is clearly dif-ferentiated by a distinctive black lattice-shaped pat-tern for the grille and lower intake.

It also features a rede-signed front spoiler that is wide and low to enhance the car’s sporty appearance.

The side of the Sportivo is now sportier and more contemporary with the removal of the side mould-ings.

Rear styling for all mod-els has been improved with new garnishes in chrome for Grande and body-colour for

other models. The 12 LEDs in the

tail lamps enhance safety because they activate more quickly than fi lament bulbs.

They are also more effi -cient, consuming less power.

Altise gets a new seven-spoke cap for its 16-inch steel wheels; Ateva’s 16-inch alloys feature a new 10-spoke design; and Sportivo and Grande are now fi tted with machined fi ve-spoke 17-inch alloys.

A new colour, Liquid Metal, is added across the range, while Inferno and Tungsten have been deleted.

Inside, the surround for the upper instrument panel on all models is darker.

New interior colour trims and seat fabrics have also been introduced.

Instrument panel chang-es include improved appear-ance for the combination metre and clearer indicator and warnings signals.

A warning signal will sound continuously if the car is moving while the handbrake is engaged.

Altise now joins all other models by gaining a shift position indicator and out-side temperature indicator.

On all models, a storage area with auxiliary audio input and 12 volt socket has been added in place of the ashtray and cigarette lighter.

Better fuel economy FUEL consumption for fi ve-speed automatic Camry drops to 8.8 litres per 100km, compared with 9.9 litres per 100km for the previous model.

The introduction of fl ex lock-up control allows the clutch in the torque con-verter to maintain a half-en-gaged position, enhancing fuel effi ciency and increasing the lock-up clutch’s operat-ing range.

During acceleration, ef-fi ciency is improved by con-trolling the amount of drive power distributed from the lock-up clutch and torque converter.

When the driver’s foot lifts off the accelerator pedal and the car is decelerating, the point at which fuel will be injected to prevent rough idling or stalling has been reduced to 800rpm (previ-ously 1100rpm).

At the same time, fl ex lock-up control remains activated to take advantage of the engine’s fuel-saving capabilities.

Mapping for the elec-tronic throttle has been revised to take greater advan-tage of reduced engine fric-tion at lower engine speeds.

Shift points have also been altered to improve fuel effi ciency and enhance the overall driving experience.

Camry’s alternator pulley now has a one-way clutch to reduce belt tension, thereby reducing drag on the crank-shaft.

The adoption of LED tail lamps also contributes because they consume less energy.

Engine output remains unchanged with maximum power of 117kW at 5700rpm and peak torque of 218Nm at 4000rpm.

Fuel economy gain for Camry

■ UPGRADE: The Toyota Camry is now even more fuel effi cient.

Without a load onboard, however, Proton’s Jumbuck

will rattle your fi llings.~ drive.com.au

Samoans change sides

Samoa will switch to driving on the left hand side, like New Zealand, in three weeks despite the biggest protests in the nation’s history, TVNZ reports.

Two years ago, the government un-expectedly decided to switch from right to left.

They say the aim is to boost the num-ber of drivers on the roads by switching to cheaper right hand drive vehicles.

“The only way we can make these people accessible to vehicles is to bring down the cost of vehicles, bring cheaper vehicles and one of the easier ways to get cheaper vehicles is to ask their families in New Zealand and Australia,” Tuisuga-letaua Sofara Aveau, Minister of Works, Transport and Infrastructure said.

The Samoan government is confi -dent it has done enough to avoid a driv-ing disaster when the right to left change occurs but the local population is not convinced.

Samoans have taken to the streets in protest at the switch and lack of consul-tation.

Fiat/Chrysler movesUS automaker Chrysler, which has partnered with Italian Fiat as part of its bankruptcy plan, is considering produc-ing Fiat 500 subcompact cars at its plant in Mexico, The Wall Street Journal report-ed Monday.

Citing “people familiar with the matter,” the newspaper said Chrysler is considering what other Fiat models to introduce to the US market.

Chrysler is looking at making a small Fiat engine for Fiat 500 at a Chrysler plant in Trenton, Michigan, the report said

It is also considering building a Fiat-derived compact car slightly larger than the 500 in the United States, The Journal said, citing an unnamed “person famil-iar with the plans.”

Chrysler and Fiat sealed a deal in June to create a new global auto giant in a milestone for the world industry after the Italian champion stepped in to sal-vage the bankrupt US fi rm.

Get on the trainsForget regenerating one of the most rundown areas of the capital, fi nding a lasting use for the Olympic stadium or delivering a sports participation legacy for London, The Guardian reports.

Mayor Boris Johnson has set himself the bigger challenge of persuading Inter-national Olympic Committee offi cials to forgo their favoured form of transport – whizzing down cordoned-off lanes in chauffeur-driven cars – in favour of London’s oft-maligned public transport network.

Following the successful fi rst run of the Olympic Javelin train last month, which will zip visitors from King’s Cross to Stratford’s Olympic Park in seven minutes, Johnson has written to the IOC president, Jacques Rogge, in the fi rst step in a campaign to persuade the “Olympic family” to give up cars.

In the letter, he recognises that while athletes and some offi cials will have to use roads, as many as possible should travel by rail. The media and other staff will also be encouraged to use “our great public transport system”, allowing them to “sample everyday London life”.

PROTON has announced that its Jumbuck model will be phased out in Australia over the next few months, the Asia News Network reports.

The renamed Arena, which was introduced into the market in early 2003 as a low-cost half-tonne pick up, will be replaced eventually by a new model Jum-buck, which the company is in the process of developing and which is based on the Exora plat-form.

In keeping with the current Jumbuck philosophy, the new

model will be a cost effective, economical and simple pick-up with the possibility of a number of different confi gurations for commercial or personal use.

While details of the new Pro-ton Jumbuck are still yet to be announced, the car will still be powered by a small economical four cylinder engine but will have the benefi t of both a manual and an automatic transmission op-tion.

Jumbuck herded out

Imagine if we found some really hot alien one day? Would she then become Miss Universe? Keep dreaming space geeks.

From Western Australia to tropical Queensland, the young Australians sing their hearts out on the latest ‘I Still Call Australia Home’ campaign.

Has the shelf life of an uncooked prawn left outside in the summer.

Fifth Test7pm, SBS 1Cricket is back and with the domestic season looming, it’s time to announce a bet I have this season with Dr Phil lookalike and Berri cricketer and barman Danyal Reynolds.

Every six he hits off my bowling, earns him a schooner of beer and vice-versa.

Sure, I might not have much hope but neither did Steven Bradbury...

Renmark commits to turf team

By LES PEARSON

THE probable addition of another team to the Renmark District Cricket Association will not prevent Renmark from fi elding a team in the region’s senior competition this season.

RDCA president Tony Victor told the Riverland Weekly last week he has heard rumours of a new team form-ing in the Renmark district associa-tion, but Renmark has committed to entering a team in the Riverland Turf Cricket Association (RTCA) for at least the next two years.

Mr Victor said the club is com-mitted, with a valuable three-year sponsorship deal heading into its second year this season.

“We can’t afford not to have a team representing the town at A grade level,” he said.

Problems with player commit-ment surfaced last season according to Mr Victor, who said only about seven or eight players showed genu-ine dedication to the team.

With loyalty at A grade level, Mr Victor believes Renmark has what it takes to be a genuine force in the as-sociation.

“We’ve got the potential to be the best cricketing town in the Riverland by a country mile,” he said.

There are also issues to resolve at an administrative level when the club holds its AGM in late August or early September.

“The problem is having all the different personalities and getting them to come together and agree on a common goal,” he said.

Mr Victor plans to suggest shift-ing the Renmark District competi-tion to a Sunday to free up players to compete on Saturday in the River-land association.

“We have plenty of talent here, we just need those blokes aged be-tween 24 and 40 to put their hands up and want to play at a higher lev-el,” he said.
