    REPORT BY

    WORKS on Berris busiest road could be closed off to pass-ing traffi c following concerns raised by Berri Barmera Coun-cil staff over a high number of drivers speeding through the area.

    The Berri Barmera Council may be forced to close traf-fi c alongside the roadworks on Crawford Terrace as mo-torists continue to put the safety of workers at risk by ignoring the 25 kilometre per hour restriction.

    Berri Barmera Council in-frastructure services manager Greg Perry said outdoor staff have even been forced to sig-nal at motorists to slow down.

    With the jobs weve got

    set up on Crawford Terrace and Kay Avenue people actu-ally arent going down to 25 kilometres per hour like they should be, he said.

    The workers quite often either tell people or make ges-tures to slow down but some of them blatantly ignore them.

    The 25 kilometre per hour speed limit isnt very fast but it is designed to be slow enough so the workers out there have got some sort of mechanism to ensure their safety.

    MONASH teenager Lauren Knight is going through a whole range of emotions as she prepares to board a fl ight to Denmark tomorrow.

    The 17-year-old, who re-cently completed her studies at Glossop High School, has been given the opportunity to participate in a one year stu-dent exchange through the Ro-tary Club of Berri.

    While she is looking for-ward to meeting her host fami-lies in Denmark, Lauren will miss her own family, friends

    and most of all, her dog.Im a little bit ner-

    vous, a bit scared and a bit excited, she said.

    Every time I talk to someone on the internet

    like my host family and my host sister and other exchange students who are already there, thats really exciting.

    Home sickness is a pretty big thing in a youth exchange, however, the thing I am going to miss the most is my dog, I picked her up when she was

    two weeks old and we havent been apart ever since.

    Previously Lauren trav-elled to Japan and since then has wanted to head overseas again.

    Initially when I got back from overseas the fi rst time, I said to mum and dad, where to next? she said.

    Instead of just taking a gap year and working in the River-land which is a little bit diffi -cult, I thought I would travel.

    I went to a rotary meeting for a different topic and they asked, have you looked at our exchange programs?.

    Lauren has been prepar-ing for her trip by learning the Danish language, collecting gifts for host families and pre-paring presentations on Aus-tralia and the Riverland to be shown to schools and rotary clubs while she is away.

    Winkies Emma Pront will also take part in a student ex-change through the Rotary Club of Berri and she is head-ing to Belgium for 12 months.

    Italian pianist in the regionINTERNATIONAL pianist Luigi Fracasso will be playing in the Riverland next week as part of the Murray River International Music Festival.

    The renowned musician will play at the Chaffey Theatre in Renmark on Wednesday from 7.30pm.

    The performance is being hosted by the theatre in partnership with Arts Mildura and the Renmark Arts Council.

    Tickets are $20 and can be booked through the Chaffey Theatre.

    We need to show more patience on the road

    IT seems the Berri Bar-mera Council has almost been forced to take the law into its own hands when it comes to dealing with motorists speeding through roadworks.

    Fed up with motor-ists constant disregard for the speed limits, council

    workers have been stop-ping to signal to drivers to slow down.

    After all it is not only for the staffs sake but also for the public and the drivers.

    Lets be honest, it can be frustrating and cause delays but slowing down to obey the roadworks speed limit is the law, whether we like it or not.

    The Riverland has a track record of motor-

    ists ignoring speed limits at roadworks.

    Last year 27 drivers were caught going too fast through works on the Sturt Highway in Waikerie.

    There is a reason speed limit restrictions are in place during roadworks and if our motorists keep ignoring them, it is only a matter of time before we see what the consequences really are.

    OVERLAND Corner Hotel owner Phil Reddy will use the publics feedback to launch a bid seeking more appropriate signage to lead tourists to the historic site.

    After taking over the run-ning of the hotel last year, Mr Reddy and his wife Renske re-ceived comments from visi-tors for 74 days straight regard-ing problems with signage guiding people to the popular tourist attraction.

    It was disappointing that within the fi rst days of being in the hotel we got so many notifi -

    cations from people saying it is really frustrating trying to fi nd the Overland Corner Hotel because the sign postage is not there, Mr Reddy said.

    Yet they saw sign postage like Loch Luna National Park, which is a huge sign.

    We even had the Nuriootpa Probus Club come here and they were so adamant, they sent me the copies of the letters they sent to the tourism commission re-questing better signage.

    Mr Reddy said the Riverlands oldest hotel deserves larger sig-nage off the main highways,

    along with new signage to replace those that are outdated.

    Its clearly evident that we dont have enough good signage to get to this location, he said.

    Its the oldest hotel in the Riverland, very much unchanged from its original condition.

    Its an icon and we should be trying to attract as many people here as possible.

    In a bid to upgrade sig-nage, Mr Reddy said he plans to meet with the local council and write to Senator Anne Rus-ton and Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone.

    BERRIS only DVD hir-ing business will close its doors at the end of January after the business failed to fi nd an buyer.

    The William Street store is selling all its stock with plans to close the doors by January 31.

    Video Ezy owner El-isha Brown said family reasons are behind the closure after operating the business in Berri for the past fi ve years.

    The decision behind it is family based, Ive got two small children and fi nd it diffi cult to run a business and have a fam-ily life as well, she said.

    The choice was hard because I really enjoy it but Ive been paying a manager who has been working in here for two

    years...so shes ventured on and got a new job for herself.

    Its sad for Berri to have the only DVD store and big name Video Ezy go.

    Mrs Brown said there was a little bit of interest in purchas-ing the business during its nine month stint on the market.

    Im surprised nobody has bought it, she said.

    Downloading of fi lms may have had an impact on the business but is not the reason behind its closure, according to Mrs Brown.

    Defi nitely the past couple of years it has de-clined, I think people are holding their money close to their chest, she said.

    Possibly download-ing may have had a small impact but defi nitely not enough impact to close the business down.

    Meanwhile, popular eatery Craggs Creek Cafe on the Berri riverfront has also shut its doors.

    The establishment did not reopen after going into the Christmas and New Year break.

    Berri Barmera Mayor Peter Hunt hopes the fa-cility is used again very soon given its popularity with tourists and locals.

    We certainly need something there for tour-ism, he said.

    It is sad to see it closed and we dont have a lot of sites in Berri or Barmera with views such as where that is situated.

    A 17-year-old Barmera male was arrest-ed by Riverland detectives on Monday and charged with intentionally setting a bushfi re.

    It is alleged the youth had set a fi re in the Loch Luna Game Reserve on Septem-ber 24, 2012, and police forensic evidence from the scene was used to locate him.

    He was bailed to appear in the Berri Youth Court at a later date.

    Meanwhile, children playing with matches are believed to be the reason be-hind a grass fi re in Matthews Street at Wai-kerie this week.

    CFS and local police attended the scene of the fi re at about 3.40pm on Tuesday where a small shed, a push-bike and some fencing was damaged by the fl ames.

    BERRIS busiest road is undergoing an upgrade to provide safer crossings for pedestrians and to add a more aesthetic appeal for motorists enter-ing the town.

    Despite concerns from some members of the public over the re-duction of parallel car parking on the western side of Crawford Terrace, the works, which will add a median strip to the street, have gone ahead.

    Berri Barmera Council infra-structure services manager Greg Perry said businesses along Craw-ford Terrace were consulted prior to works beginning.

    They loved the concept, he said.

    Funding from the Road to Re-covery program is being used to add a median strip with a pedestrian crossing and trees.

    The hot mix had basically come to the end of its life and it was actu-ally starting to break up and crocodile crack which means it cant be remedi-ated, Mr Perry said.

    It was going to get profi led out to relay asphalt or hot mix back down

    there but council took it to their Berri Beautifi cation Committee and they said theyd like to see it similar to Kay Avenue to have a median strip.

    What elected members said was it is one of the busiest roads coming into Berri and it actually is just a big black expanse and they said they would like to break it up a bit and make it a bit softer on the eye.

    Parallel parking will remain on the eastern side with the shaded site opposite Crawford Terrace encour-aged as another parking area.

    There will still be parking on the actual shop side, the dentist side, that wont be any different to what it is now, Mr Perry said.

    Mr Perry said adding in pedes-trian crossings on the busy road is very important.

    Theyll be able to cross a little bit safer than crossing the whole width in one hit like they do at the mo-ment, he said.

    According to the November coun-cil agenda, council has allocated $80,000 towards the Crawford Ter-race works.

    From Page 1

    Mr Perry said council has spoken to police about the continued disre-gard for the speed limit around the roadworks by some motorists.

    We have talked to the police and they said for some of the sites that are longer term, if we ask, they will ac-tually sit there and book any offend-ers, he said.

    Even under the Road Safety Act,

    emergency services are still not al-lowed to speed through those work zones, even if they are responding to an emergency call.

    The signs are up for a rea-son and wed like people to do the right thing.

    Council may be forced to block off the area while work continues on the Crawford Terrace median strip if motorists continue to disobey the speed restrictions, according to Mr

    Perry. We could go along the lines of shutting one whole lane down to defi nitely make sure that we are not going to have any problems with traf-fi c but we are trying to keep two lanes open so the traffi c fl ows, so it is caus-ing minimal disruption to everyone because it is a very busy road, he said. But if it (the speeding) contin-ues, weve got no choice.

    The safety of employees is paramount.

    BIG name band members, including Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson, will visit the Riverland next Thurs-day as part of an initiative to raise awareness of mental health.

    Jamieson will be joined in Berri by up to 10 musician and media personalities, including CEO of Big Day Out Adam Zammit, Jamiesons wife Julie and mates Chris Joan-nou (Silverchair), Jake Stone (Blue-juice), Merrick Watts (MMM), Paul Mac (Musician/Producer on Big Day Out line-up), Nathan Hind-marsh (Parramatta Eels), Kate Peck (MTV Presenter) and Steve Andrews (Black Dog Ride).

    The group will jump on their motorbikes following the Big Day Out on the Gold Coast and travel to six regional centres across Australia in fi ve days playing music to pro-mote headspace.

    Headspace Riverland manager Kerril Vowles said the tour acknowl-edges the work that is done to tackle mental health in the region.

    The belief is that by having an entourage of high profi le musicians

    and media personalities dedicated specifi cally to raising the awareness of youth mental health we are actu-ally going to start breaking down

    the stigma that surrounds mental health, she said.

    What they are hoping the tour will do is encourage young people and people in the Riverland, in our instance, to talk more openly about these issues and perhaps even seek help for some stuff they have not been confi dent to do in the past.

    It provides us with an opportu-nity to showcase that we are a ser-vice that has now been in the region for four years, we are here to stay, we are here to help young people.

    The Rock N Ride concert will take place on the Berri river-front on January 24 from 12pm with acoustic performances from Phil Jamieson, Paul Mac and Chris Joannou.

    During the Berri stop, the Rock N Ride riders will meet and greet the local community, media and youths of headspace joining them for lunch, autograph sign-ing, photo opportunities, and giveaways.

    Local four piece band McKenzie will also be playing on the day.

    A HOUSEBOAT owner moored at Waikerie claims that waste is being dumped into the River Murray caus-ing potential health haz-ards to river users.

    Adelaide resident Di-ane Miller woke in the early hours of January 3 on her houseboat moored downstream from Lock 3 to a terrible smell.

    I was woken up by the sound of pumping and then there was a terrible stench of sewerage smell,she said.

    We closed the win-dow and the pumping continued.

    I got up and went out-side to have a look around, I did hear some voices but couldnt see anything.

    The river was covered in sewerage effl uent.

    Mrs Miller said this was

    not the fi rst time she had seen this happen.

    Sometimes when weve been on the river and weve moored overnight, weve got up in the morn-ing and there has been stuff that has collected around our pontoons and ropes, she said.

    Its always looked a little bit mucky but weve always put it down to the river being up and fl ow-ing and its just collected around our pontoon.

    With what we are see-ing and what has been occurring in the past, it (waste dumping) may have been happening on a regular basis.

    Mrs Miller said she is concerned about the health impacts the waste dumping could have and believes the

    waste has not come from another houseboat.

    Its not good for the environment and my other concern is for the people recreationally using the river, she said.

    We shower with the water from the river.

    The Environment Pro-tection Authority conduct-ed tests following concerns from Mrs Miller but were unable to detect the waste.

    EPA environmental protection offi cers have been conducting a series of houseboat audits along the River Murray this week to crack down on those ille-gally dumping wastewater.

    Possums miracle surgery

    HEALTHY: Riverland Veterinary Clinic head nurse Melissa Lewis with her healthy possum Pandora following ground breaking surgery and (inset) an x-ray of the possums bloated stomach. Photos: BRAD PERRY

    PANDORA the possum is a little miracle after a lo-cal clinic performed break-through surgery to save the very sick animal.

    Loveday resident and head nurse at the Riverland Veterinary Clinic Melissa Lewis recently brought the possum in to be assessed after it became bloated.

    Mrs Lewis, who cares for a number of animals at her Loveday home, feared for the health of Pando-ra when she noticed its stomach swelling.

    She had a condition called gastric dilatation, its where the stomach swells, Mrs Lewis said.

    Shed eaten too much of a grain, swelled up and she couldnt pass it, crush-ing her chest and she couldnt breath and all of her intestines were full of air.

    Initially Riverland Vet-erinary Clinic surgeon Doctor John Hammond at-

    tempted to defl ate the one-year-old possum

    with a needle but was unsuccessful.

    Following x-rays, Dr Ham-mond decided to perform an operation

    which Mrs Lewis describes as ground breaking.

    Usually they would euthanise them, she said.

    Prognosis for surgery with possums is pretty much nil.

    My motto is where there is life there is a chance and she still had life in her so we fi gured wed have a go, there might be a chance.

    After the successful surgery was complete, Pandora returned home only to be brought back to the clinic.

    Unfortunately on the Monday morning she was on deaths door, so I rushed her back and she was in in-tensive care for three days, Mrs Lewis said.

    Today the small possum is recovering and is healthy and Mrs Lewis could not be more happy.

    Its just amazing to see an animal that most clin-ics would have put on the burner as going to die, to see her bright well and back to normal, she said.

    Mrs Lewis fi rst came across the possum about 12 months ago after it was brought into the clinic from Renmark by a resident who found it by itself.

    Skills for All funding reductionTHE states Opposition believes plans to slash funding and cap places for vocation-al training will be a blow to thousands of job seekers.

    Shadow Training and Further Educa-tion Ministet David Pisoni said the State Governments decision to reduce the funding follows a six month review of the Skills for All program and will see over 50 training schemes lose their funding from March 2013.

    Despite the cutbacks, Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said he hopes this funding will not come from the Riverland.

    Im not aware of any impact in Chaffey of Labors cuts to Skills for All programs, he said.

    However, education and training opportunities are already limited in our region and I would be disappointed and very concerned to learn if they were further reduced.

    Local education and training op-portunities are crucial to retaining young people in regional areas like Chaffey.

    Own a Holiday Shack & need a power solution?

    Many of us head off to our little bit of paradise over the holiday period. Not all shacks have grid-connect power and for some of us, holidays may involve packing a generator to deliver the power to run some modern day conveniences we nd necessary at this time of year.

    Apart from the obvious fuel costs, sole reliability on a generator and the associated noise and smell can at times take the shine off a tranquil and relaxing holiday, especially at night.

    Thankfully, passive, green power solutions for shack owners are available and they wont cost you the earth.

    New DIY systems are now available in kit form that consist of Solar Panels, Batteries and a Control box with provision to connect a voltage regulated, inverter generator. Being low voltage on the DC BUS side of the system and also being a complete plug together solution, these are a true DIY kit and do not require an electrician to install.

    These small systems may have up to 2000 watts of solar power and 120 Ah of battery storage, perfect for running a small holiday shack with lighting, refrigerator and numerous small electrical devices.

    NEW JOBS: Transpacifi c will construct a new resource recovery facility at Monash this year.

    Waste facility to create jobsWASTE management company Transpa-cifi c will build a new recycling facility in Monash which is expected to create more than 15 jobs.

    The company, which was hired by the Riverland councils to run the new three bin pick up system, has confi rmed it will construct a resource recovery facility in the region, to reduce the amount of waste going to landfi ll.

    In a signifi cant step forward, Transpa-cifi c will partner with the Renmark Par-inga Council, District Council of Loxton Waikerie and Berri Barmera Council to deliver a large scale recycling program to the region for the fi rst time.

    The strategy has seen the councils move to a three-bin system, with recycla-bles and green waste collected separately.

    The recyclables will then be processed at a sorting location and green waste re-used rather than ending up in landfi ll.

    As part of the new three-bin system, Cleanaway recently commenced the col-lection of kerbside general waste, recy-clable and green waste bins for the Ren-mark Paringa and Berri Barmera Council regions, and this will follow shortly in the Loxton Waikerie region as well.

    Transpacifi c general manager of post collections Geoffrey Webster said Trans-pacifi c was excited to be working with the three local councils to deliver such an im-portant change for the region.

    Credit is due to councils for working together and taking a regional approach to deliver an effi cient and cost effective modern waste strategy, he said.

    As part of this historic agreement, Transpacifi c will manage the construction and operation of a brand new Riverland resource recovery facility.

    Due to open in the second half of this year, the facility will cater for general waste, recyclables, commercial and indus-trial waste, and construction and demoli-tion waste from the local area.

    The design will be similar to the na-tionally recognised and award-winning Transpacifi c Resource Recovery Centre at Port Augusta.

    The facility will also be designed to maximise recycling from various waste streams, with residents cars and trailers able to safely unload into designated bays.

    Once complete, the facility is expect-ed to create over 15 jobs for the region, Mr Webster said.

    Transpacifi c looks forward to being not only a local employer of choice, but a respected member of the community.

    The waiting gameCouncil waits on green light for Berri development

    THE Berri Barmera Council is hoping a project to turn prime riverfront land into a thriving tourism area and relocate sport-ing facilities to Glassey Park will be given the green light to pro-ceed by the State Government next month.

    Plans for the riverfront land next to the Berri Resort Ho-tel include residential living, multi-storey buildings and po-tentially cafe and shops on the 30 allotments.

    The current bowling club will then be relocated to Glassey Park in a state-of-the-art facil-ity with the overall project cost being estimated at more than $1.5 million.

    Council plans to take on some of the costs upfront in or-der to restrict any further delays

    and is now playing the waiting game with the State Government for development approval.

    Berri Barmera Council Mayor Peter Hunt said he is hoping the project will be ap-proved when Cabinet sits in early February.

    Weve done everything by the book, weve got everything in that they require, he said.

    Weve had various ministers and even the Premier is all for it, weve just got to wait and see.

    This is a venture that is not going to put a burden on the gov-

    ernment, it is actually going to enhance it.

    The project has been on the books for some time and Mr Hunt admits it has been a long wait.

    It has been very frustrating considering it has taken so long,

    not only for us as council but also for the bowling club members as well, he said.

    We see this as a great ven-ture of trying to get our sporting bodies into one area which will help in everyones eyes as far as I am concerned.

    Weve had various ministers and even the Premier is all for it.

    Berri Barmera Mayor Peter Hunt.

    Riverland Australia Day eventsLETTERS TO THE EDITOR

    Bypass responseWE thank Kevin Datson (Riv-erland Weekly, January 10 2013) for raising the matter of a Sturt Highway bypass of Renmark.

    Along with replacing the Paringa Bridge, the bypass was identifi ed by the South Australian Freight Council (SAFC) as a high priority infrastructure project, cost-ing approximately $300 million, which should be pursued by the Federal and State governments.

    In December the SAFC recommended $1.2 billion of upgrades to the Sturt High-way to be completed by 2025, identifying productivity gains particularly for the grain, wine and citrus industries.

    This is certainly a debate the community needs to have and we welcome an opportu-nity to be part of it.

    What will be the impact on businesses and residents in Renmark?

    Is a bypass of Renmark a greater priority than a bypass of Truro?

    Where exactly would the bypass be built and who would be affected by it?

    These are just some of the questions that need to be addressed.

    We are interested in the views of the community and we urge people to express their opinion.

    Anne Ruston, Senator for South Australia.

    Tim Whetstone, Member for Chaffey.

    Open letter to the Premier

    DEAR Premier Weatherill,Look on the bright side

    you say....see our cup as half full rather than half empty.

    Whats half full about re-cord high prices for water and power that put frugal people at risk in times of extreme weather conditions for fear of debt collectors?

    Whats half full about governments awarding con-tracts to interstate bus com-panies and rubbish collectors that deliberately destabilises local businesses?

    This puts a lie to your promises of regional sup-port and making a mockery of the Buy locally and save a job campaign.

    Whats half full about the massive job losses in manufacturing?

    The Riverland has lost most of its manufacturers, who were once large employ-ers and huge producers of fresh and dried and canned food, especially when ex-perts say there is a world food shortage.

    Whats half full about cutting welfare to single par-ents whose job opportunities traditionally relied on the seasonal manufacturers that have disappeared?

    Australias clean, green, safe quality food controls and high wages, Work Cover and Superannuation is all well and good but they price Australian food produc-ers and manufacturers out of business to uncontrolled

    cheaper, often inferior, for-eign produce that is imported duty free.

    Australian governments foolishly allow foreign in-vestors to buy up Australian farms, ship their raw produce back to their own countries for processing where they make and keep the profi t.

    Where are the tax oppor-tunities in that for Australia?

    Whats half full about Australians risking capital investment and production outlays to be producers, al-ways at the mercy of season-ally variable weather condi-tions, paying harvesting and freighting costs to take whats left, if anything, after the sell-ing agents commission?

    To not even recover their costs.

    Its a whole years work for nothing!

    Why are Australian pro-ducers the only ones expect-ed to work for nothing or less than nothing?

    The system is out of balance.

    Present Australian gov-ernments are throwing people on the free market scrap heap.

    Whats half full about that?

    It just doesnt make sense.

    Rural communities are fl oundering.

    Shop keepers and manufacturers desperately need people with spending money.

    Governments need to light a candle of hope not just with a few scholar-ships to agriculture college but support for Australian producers of quality pro-duce against cheaper, less healthy imports.

    Workers need work; pro-ducers need to be profi table, to pay the taxes governments operate on.

    So please Mr Premier, we need sensible solutions not more spin.

    Jeanette Staehr,Barmera.

    Controlled burn offs not done?

    IN THE past several days we have seen devastating fi res throughout the Eastern sates and Tasmania.

    Homes and businesses have been lost.

    Fortunately, no lives have been lost.

    Admittedly, there have been unusual hot and windy weather conditions that have aided the fi res in their sweep across the land.

    However, allegations are starting to emerge that proper controlled burn offs had not been done last spring.

    Why is this so?Anyone who lives in

    country areas would know that it is not easy to do con-trolled burn offs.

    There are a number of conditions that need to be met before permits are issued.

    Consequently, it is all getting too hard for land owners to do their once-a-year burn offs to reduce the fi re hazard when the warmer weather arrives.

    Perhaps the Greens have something to do with the increased regulations, as they dont want burn offs to be done.

    No government is game enough to outlaw burn offs entirely, they just make it too diffi cult, through regulation, for burn offs to be done.

    Unless controls are re-laxed concerning controlled burn offs, we will see more devastating fi res.

    Jay Nauss,

    Glen Aplin.

    FEATURE Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular

    TO the small commu-nity of Cobdogla, celebrating Australia Day is something the small town looks forward to each year.

    The eagerly anticipated Bruno Bay Fireworks Spec-tacular is taking place this

    Saturday with up to 2000 people expected to attend and show off their Aus-tralian colours and strong community spirit.

    Growing each year, or-ganisers of the Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular have already had much interest

    for the event from people outside of the area.

    Organising committee vice president Shane Corner and Mark Shugg said the cel-ebrations will begin at the Cobdogla Oval on Saturday from 6pm.

    We know weve got people from Adelaide coming up especially for the event, Mr Corner said.

    Weve already got a table of 30 booked in from town.

    The Australia Day celebrations at Cobdogla began at Bruno Bay, where a small group of peo-ple gathered around in chairs socialis-ing, enjoying each others company.

    With the popular water spot inacces-sible during the 2010

    high river, Cobdogla Oval be-came the temporary home of the event.

    However, an overwhelm-ing showing of people at the 2011 and 2012 events dem-onstrated just how big the Australia Day celebrations at Cobdogla are and organisers decided to continue holding the event at the oval.

    We got fl ooded out but the Gods did some-thing good for us by moving it down there, Mr Corner said.

    Weve gone from a few people sitting around a bonfi re to live bands and large crowds.

    One of the reasons for the Spectaculars recent suc-cess has been the popular entertainment and fam-ily atmosphere, according to Mr Corner.

    This years drawcard is AC/DC tribute band High

    Voltage, as well as popular musos Hard Rock.

    There is plenty to do for the whole family with a number of sideshows for the children and young at heart.

    The introduction of market stalls this year will add to the great atmosphere and performances from a local gymnastics club and Rosie Clark School of Dance are further entertainment options.

    There will be no shortage of food choices from gour-met hamburgers by the Bru-no Bay Development Com-mittee to pizzas, hot spuds, chips and much more.

    Proceeds from the Bruno Bay Fireworks Spectacular will go to the Bruno Bay Development Committee to continue improving facilities at the popular tourist site, as well as the Riverland Make-A-Wish Foundation.

    We are a little group try-ing to do our bit for the com-munity, Mr Corner said.

    A recent clean up follow-ing high river events in previ-ous years has the Bruno Bay boat ramp in top condition.

    It looks great down there, Mr Corner said.

    There will also be the chance for one lucky person to win a 42-inch fl at screen television by entering the major raffl e.

    Several other prizes will be on offer during the raffl e including a barbecue with all prizes donated by local businesses.

    We are very thankful to the great committee we have this year and the community support, Mr Corner said.

    There will also be the op-tion of buses running to and from the event from all ma-jor Riverland towns.

    If you would like to take

    Family day out at Cobby We are a little

    group trying to do our bit for the community.

    Its good to have that option so people can be responsible.

    There are people that come here and say wow, a little town did this? Mr Corner said.

    Its just getting big-ger and bigger and better and better.

    One of the main high-lights of the night is the fi reworks, which promises to be even more impressive this year.

    The event is fully catered with people encouraged to bring their own chairs but no BYO alcohol is allowed.

    Entry costs just $5 with

    under 12s free.This year those in atten-

    WAIKERIES AUSTRALIA DAYFEATUREand Weekeeekeeeeeeeeeeeekeekekeeeeekeekekeeekeekeeekeekkeeeeeeekkkeekeeeekkkkkeeeekkkkekkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeee lylllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Thurs

    THE award winning Waikerie Australia Day Extravaganza is growing with this years event having more entertainment and attractions.

    In fact, organisers believe it is the biggest Australia Day event ever organised in the small town.

    Fittingly this years Waikerie Australia Day Extravaganza will be held on Australia Day, Janu-ary 26 from 6pm, with more than 3500 people expected to fl ock to Waikerie Oval.

    This is perfect timing for us, Waikerie Australia Day Committee chairperson David Gwynne said.

    I cant wait.One of Waikeries biggest

    events has gained a reputation with locals and visitors alike, meaning more people are head-ing to the town each year for the Australia Day celebrations.

    Mr Gwynne is encouraging ev-eryone to embrace the Australian culture and enjoy a great family night out.

    We get people from all around the Riverland, the Barossa Valley, Clare and Adelaide, he said.

    Theres lots of kids rides and games.

    The kids can run around on the football oval, while mum and dad can sit back, have a bite to eat, have a drink and talk to all of their friends.

    Of those who bring their fami-lies to Waikerie each year is local football legend Mark Ricciuto.

    He comes down ev-ery year and loves the show, Mr Gwynne said.

    travaganza will host talented cover band Jungle Jooce this year.

    They are probably Adelaides biggest party show bands with hits from the 1970s to today, Mr Gwynne said.

    Those in attendance are guar-anteed to be entertained with amusements, games, rides and sideshows.

    There will also be demonstra-tions from local dance groups, as well as councils Australia Day citizen awards.

    Another element to this years event is the addition of a big screen so cricket fans can watch the Twenty20 match between Australia and Sri Lanka from 7pm to 10pm.

    The food options are also end-less from barbecue, hot roast lamb and beef, Asian, Italian, Indian, yiros and baked spuds.

    Do not forget the sweets with traditional Australia Day pav-lova, fruit salad and ice cream to name a few.

    Weve got it all covered, Mr Gwynne said.

    A popular attraction is the wine marquee, showcasing local

    wines and offering nibbles with the purchase of a bottle of wine.

    Mr Gwynne is also encourag-ing everyone attending to dress up for the occasion.

    We are encouraging people to dress up in red, white and blue, the Aussie colours, he said.

    We want everyone waving fl ags and celebrating in a big way.

    I think we should be proud to live in such a fantastic country.

    The Extravaganza is well known for its monster fi reworks display and Mr Gwynne promised nothing less this year.

    The kids love fi reworks, he said.

    Last year was fantastic but this year will be even bigger and better.

    Mr Gwynne believes the Ex-travaganza will be the perfect way to celebrate Australia Day and especially for Waikerie residents, it is also a chance to relax.

    The 2012 Waikerie Commu-nity Event of the Year is again ex-pected to live up to its reputation.

    Mr Gwynne said it is impor-tant to acknowledge volunteers who run stalls and the work that is done by the committee.

    Sponsorship has also been the best it ever has, he said.

    Entry is $2 for adults and $1 for those under 15 years of age, while no BYO is allowed.

    People can also book a table with 10 chairs for $20 by drop-ping in to see Mr Gwynne at Waikerie Tyre & Mag Centre on Smith Drive.

    Aussie pride in Waikerie

    We want everyone waving fl ags and

    celebrating in a big way.

    TRUE SPIRIT: Those in attendance at the Waikerie Australia Day

    Extravaganza are being encouraged to don the Aussie colours, while (inset) the impressive fi reworks

    display is a highlight of the night.

    MEDIA around the world have described Australian music icon Jon English as an ageing rocker but he is happy to shake off the stereotype and show audiences he still has plenty to give.

    Following the successful Rock Show tours, Jon is bring-ing his latest show Rock Revolu-tion to the Riverland.

    The talented musician, ac-tor and performer is loving life and still being able to engage audiences across the world.

    While he may not be able to produce the energy from

    his early years, Jon believes his band can do that for him.

    The average age of the band is about 23, Jon said.

    Theyve given it the sort of grunt and energy I used to have when I was 23, he laughed.

    Rock Revolution will fea-ture an array of classic hits from the 1960s and 1970s with songs from the likes of The Beatles, Led Zepplin, Queen, Billy Joel and the list goes on.

    The music is of the success-ful era of the baby boomers, according to Jon.

    After playing at the Chaffey

    Theatre in Renmark in the 1980s, Jon said he is looking forward to returning to per-form at the top class facility.

    Over the years, Jon has had some career defi ning roles and learnt to take opportunities as they came, fi rst audition-ing in the 1970s for Harry M Millers production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

    He played the lead role of Judas at the age of 22 and the show became a phenomenal success.

    That was the big break ev-eryone looks for, he said.

    The secret is just to grab it, not think you will get a better off because then it will be gone.

    Jon went on to star in many television shows, perform in theatres and sing on stage but one of his fondest memories is the award winning Pirates of Penzance.

    In the end I didnt have a dresser, I had a strapper like the football players, he laughed.

    Jon English will be bring-ing his Rock Revolution show to the Chaffey Theatre on Jan-uary 31 at 7.30pm.

    Aussie icon ready to rock the Chaffey Theatre

    ROCK: Aussie icon Jon English is playing in Renmark this month.
