Minister admits lack of consultation Renmark Paringa rates rise by 7.5 per centBy BRAD PERRY

THE Renmark Paringa Council is proposing residents take on a 7.5 per cent rate increase in the 2012/13 fi nancial year.

The rise will see residential ratepayers add another $54 to general rates bringing the average annual residential rates to $743.

Renmark Paringa Council Mayor Neil Martinson said the rise is in line with

council’s long term fi nancial sustainability goals.

“What we are endeavouring to do is over the 10 years of our annual fi nancial plan just to get back into the black,” he said.

“At the moment we are in the red, so over a period of time we want to try and get that back into a balanced fi gure.

TRANSPORT Minister Pat Conlon has con-ceded that the State Government did not undertake enough consultation with affect-ed communities before deciding to close the Cadell ferry on June 30.

During an estimates hearing yesterday, Minister Conlon said he would have liked more consultation on the closure.

“Can I say that I have discussed with my people that I do not think we did enough consultation with the locals,” he said.

“I do not think we did as much as I would have liked but what I can say is that the people in our department certainly had to convince me, and I explained it to cabi-net, of the underlying logic and reason for it.

Last week’s solution:

■ From Page 1

“They convinced me that the counts they took and the times they took them were compelling evidence.

“At the end of the day, can we make it clear, that we are talking about taxpayers’ funds here.

“That is the only sort of mon-ey we use and they convinced me that it should be used else-where.”

Minister Conlon said his de-partment advised the relevant government agencies about the closure.

“They advised me that they consulted with the government agencies, the education depart-ment and the CFS,” he said.

“What I have said to your counterpart, whom I have met on this issue, the member for Stuart, is that really on this there was some information that we had got wrong.

“I could not see how the deci-sion would be reversed.

“Nothing in longer consul-tation, in my view, would have changed that basic information but I would have preferred that our people had consulted earlier locally.

“At the end of the day, I do not think it would have made a material difference to the out-come of the decision because...the decision is made on a set of information that is persuasive and unless there is something wrong with that information I could not see why the decision would change.”

The usage counts of the Cadell ferry were not done during quiet times, according to Minister Con-lon.

“One of the key points raised at the meeting was that the de-partment had done the counts at the quiet time of the year and that is not correct,” he said.

“The department showed me that it had done counts, includ-ing months such as January and December.

“If the information needs to be changed because of something we did not know, that would be the way we would change the de-cision.

“But if the information I have received is correct, I cannot see the decision changing.”

Minister Conlon also denied that the $400,000 annual cost to run the ferry at Cadell is being re-duced due to State Budget cuts.

“It is not a question of tak-ing a small budget cut to give back to the Treasurer, it is about increasing the sustainability and the future viability of all of those ferry services that operate on the river,” he said.

“The truth is that this money has not been cut from the bud-get: it has been directed to get-ting a better outcome for a larger

number of people.”When asked why he kept the

decision a secret, Minister Con-lon said “it was not kept a secret, it was consulted...there was a public meeting on it”.

Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone, who was one of sev-eral members directing questions to Minister Conlon during the hearing, said the comments were disappointing.

“Adding insult to the injury suffered by the Cadell community and the Riverland region is the fact that this decision was taken with-out consultation by a Government that trumpets its ‘open and trans-parent’ credentials,” he said.

“Perhaps if the Weatherill La-bor Government had taken the time to consult with the people impacted by its decision, it would have realised that the relatively small budget saving was not worth the near destruction of a rural community.”

■ From Page 1“The longer council delays

trying to get the fi gure into the black it just prolongs the ago-ny of doing it at a later date, so council has made a conscious decision knowing full well of the circumstances.”

Mr Martinson said coun-cil’s general rates are still well below the state rural average estimated at $1009 annually for 2012/13.

“Renmark Paringa rates have been so low for such a long period of time and that doesn’t help us to sustain our asset base,” he said.

“Nobody likes the rates in-creasing but while other costs are going up and people are still requiring the same sort of level

of service that is being provided, the only way to do that is to ob-viously increase the rate base.”

In 2012/13, council is bud-geting for an operating defi cit of $825,186.

Council will also imple-ment a new waste manage-ment system as part of its annual business plan, which includes closing the current landfi ll by December 15 and building and opening a waste transfer station.

This will also include the introduction of a recyclables and greenwaste kerbside col-lection system.

Residents living within the major council towns will re-ceive a 140 litre general waste bin to be collected weekly, a

240 litre recyclables bin to be collected fortnightly and a 240 litre greenwaste bin to be col-lected fortnightly with the ser-vice charge of $176.

Rural residents will have a 140 litre bin collected weekly and a 240 litre recyclable fort-nightly collection for a service charge of $136.

Other major projects out-lined in the annual business plan include stormwater up-grades, the Renmark cemetery expansion, town centre pre-cinct upgrade planning, which includes a new toilet block and the introduction of a rec-reational dog park.

Comments on the draft annual business plan are being welcomed by council.

Lack of consultation

Inevitable rate rise for Renmark Paringa residents

When questioned over Cadell ferry closure, Transport Minister Pat Conlon admits...

Poor response PatSTATE Transport Minister Pat Conlon should be ashamed for the way he han-dled a bombardment of questions from the Opposition over the Cadell ferry clo-sure yesterday.

He made statements contradictory to those stated in the media by his department.

It was strikingly clear that the Minister is not happy with the way the Riverland public were consulted over the ferry clo-sure.

However, he is refusing to back down on his decision, despite being unable to provide solid answers to questions with evidence.

This is a snippet of what Minister Con-lon told the Estimates Committee yester-day.

“Taking away a service is not some-thing that is done lightly. It is not pleas-ant. It is certainly not pleasant for those people whom it affects and for that reason you do look at the information very care-fully and the information provided to me was persuasive to the point of being com-pelling. While I think consultation might have been better, the material difference it made is probably not large.”

Does the Minister realise he is play-ing with people’s livelihoods and their futures?

One way street proposalRenmark Club’s $2 million upgrades take into account...

By BRAD PERRY

THE Renmark Club is “fully backing” a proposal by the Ren-mark Paringa Council to con-vert Murray Avenue into a one way street.

Renmark Club manager Bren-ton Franks said a planned $2 mil-lion upgrade to its facilities takes into account the proposal.

Currently the club has a footpath and car parking space facing onto Murray Avenue but Mr Franks said the front of the facility will extend onto the road if council approval is succesful.

“With the Renmark Paringa Council going for the one way street, we are trying to get a little bit of room from them and push-

ing it out two metres if we can,” Mr Franks said.

“We’ll just lose two car parks out the front.”

Mr Franks said the internal renovations could begin as early as March next year including up-grades to the kitchen area, bar

facilities and a new alfresco out-door dining area.

The second stage of the proj-ect is planned to include the building of 10 apartments above the current car park.

Blocking off Murray Avenue

from vehicle traffi c will attract tourists to the area, according to Mr Franks.

“We think the one way street will be benefi cial to the whole town pushing people towards the one way street, having a look and wandering down and hopefully

all the shops can get on board and relocate and get down here as well,” Mr Franks said.

“The more people around, the more people will be happy and everybody will benefi t.”

While there are a number

of empty shops in the Renmark town centre and on Murray Av-enue, Mr Franks said creating the one way street concept will bring with it a new atmosphere.

“I’m sure if there were four more cafes down here, it’s not go-ing to worry me too much or the hotel or the cafes that are already here, because it will just attract more people,” he said.

“We think that what we’ve got planned will be benefi cial for everybody who wanders up here.”

Upgrades to the club are about “keeping up with the 21st century” and will go ahead regardless of the success of an application to the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund, according to Mr Franks.

We think the one way street will be benefi cial to the whole town.

Salvos call for blankets as winter kicks inTHE Riverland’s disadvantaged could be suffering through freez-ing winter mornings and nights without warmth due to a short-age of blankets.

Berri based Salvation Army is calling on the public to give generously and provide those in need with a blanket this winter.

Berri Salvos Store manager Helen Adamczyk said currently around four blankets are being donated per day but are being sold almost immediately.

“Naturally the cold weather brings people in for extra blan-kets and that can range from people who need extra blankets because they are doing it rough and sleeping out or it can range to just families who want an ex-tra blanket for the kids’ bed,” she said.

“At the moment as they (blan-kets) come in, which is maybe three or four a week, they are get-

ting priced and tagged and put onto the shop fl oor and almost sold straight away.

“We absolutely have no sur-plus blankets.

“I still think we could get a sale for 15 to 20 blankets.”

Mrs Adamcyzk said buying warmer items at the Salvos Store is the “end of the line” for some families.

“I would really just like to en-courage the community, whom is very generous and very supportive of the work that we do, to have an extra rethink about what’s per-haps in their cupboards, warm items they could possibly donate to sell,” she said.

“At this time of the year when it is a little bit cold, people are reluctant to clean out their cup-boards but if they’ve got surplus items, particularly in winter goods, and they no longer have a use for them, donate them to us.”

Premier commits $2 million to river campaignTHE State Government has fol-lowed in the footsteps of up-stream states by committing $2 million to a Fight for The Murray campaign.

About 1500 people have al-ready signed up to the campaign where they are able to partici-pate by sharing stories, com-ments and photos on Twitter and Facebook.

Premier Jay Weatherill yes-terday told the Parliamentary Estimates Committee that the funding will help bring the com-munity’s opinion to the forefront of the national debate on the River Murray.

He said the funding for the campaign will come from exist-ing resources in the Department of Premier and Cabinet, as well as new funding.

“This decision has not been taken lightly but if we believe the river is important, it is incum-bent upon us to fi ght for it,” Mr Weatherill said.

“The choice is clear – we can either stand up for what we know and believe to be fair and right, or we can settle for second best.

“I make no apologies for choosing to Fight for the Murray because if we lay down now we

will simply be walked over.“A detailed campaign strategy

is currently being prepared and our campaign effort will become more apparent very soon.”

Mr Weatherill said he is con-fi dent the campaign will make South Australia’s position on the Murray Darling Basin clear.

“In the past few weeks we have seen upstream states back-ing away from river reform,” he said.

“Within three days of being awarded nearly half a billion in federal funds, the New South Wales government cut its own funding for national river reforms

by 60 per cent, with further cuts planned.

“Victoria is actively seeking to reduce the volume of water to be returned to the river to as little as 2100 gigalitres or less.

“We already can see the effect of campaigns being run by up-stream interests at work.

“Billions being invested in irrigation infrastructure in NSW and Victoria while our state’s re-sponsible use of the river goes unrewarded.”

WAIKERIE repairer Stuart McKay believes a decision to close the Cadell ferry as of June 30 could “cost people’s lives”.

Currently, Mr McKay said he attends a number of vehicle breakdowns and accidents on Murraylands Road as part of his RAA and towing service and that will only increase with the ferry closure.

“What concerns me is that you get a lot of people staying in shacks that come up from Ade-laide and if there is a backlog on the Morgan side, they will shoot down the Murraylands Road to Blanchetown to link up with the Sturt Highway,” Mr McKay said.

“I can tell you now the amount of prangs we’ve picked up off the road down there that are all young kids from Adelaide and those accident statistics will only increase.

“They will get fatal accidents on that road because of this decision.

“To upgrade that dirt road is going to take a lot more than $400,000.”

Mr McKay, who raised the is-sue during a public meeting at the Cadell Institute last Thursday, said vehicles breaking down in that area will also be forced to wait longer for assistance.

“If people break down in that area and want the RAA, de-pending on where they’ve bro-ken down, they might have two to three hours to wait for assis-tance,” he said.

“Easter time that is going

to be horrendous because the Morgan ferry will not be able to cope.”

Following the 500 strong crowd attendance at the pub-lic meeting in Cadell, a rally is being planned outside Par-liament House in Adelaide on Wednesday.

A group of local delegates also plan to meet with Transport Minister Pat Conlon next week.

CONCERN continues to surround the Lyr-up ferry after the State Government failed to secure its future by signing a fi ve year extension, similar to other ferry operators around South Australia.

Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone will issue a please explain to the Depart-ment of Transport on why the Lyrup service has not been included.

Mr Whetstone said he has received a response from the State Government in re-gards to the ferry but it fails to give him a defi nitive answer.

“I did hear a response that the depart-ment has signed a contract for Lyrup but what he (Transport Minister Pat Conlon) hasn’t given me is what length that contract was for,” Mr Whetstone said.

“I want a clear answer from him that he will not proceed with the closure of Lyrup.

‘Other ferry services have been given fi ve year contracts, I want to know whether the Lyrup ferry has signed a fi ve year contract.”

A traffi c counter must be installed at the entrance of the Lyrup ferry to gain a real understanding of how much use it gets, ac-cording to Mr Whetstone.

“I spoke to the ferry operators on Friday and over the weekend and they are talking that they have between 500 and 600 people going across that ferry, or could have that many, in one day,” he said.

“What the government have done is they have a selective process of counting the numbers.

“They need to put rubber strips at that ferry site for a 12 month period so they can have the average use of the ferry, not just se-lected winter months or selected times that might suit the statisticians for the govern-ment offi ces.

“More importantly look at how many people use that ferry on a daily basis, not an annual basis, we need to get a clear pic-ture of just how important it is annually.”

AROUND 1000 people are expected to attend this Sun-day’s Bird Sale and Family Fair at the Riverland Exhibi-tion Centre in Barmera with this year’s event hosting an increased number of sellers.

The annual event, which has been running for more than 15 years, offers a range of colourfully exhibited birds with many of them available to purchase.

Sellers are expected to travel from across the coun-try to attend this weekend’s event.

Organiser Graham Mat-thews said not only will birds be up for sale but those in at-tendance will be able to wit-ness a wide array of bird spe-cies from across the world.

“There is an opportunity to see a lot of birds that they dreamed would never prob-

ably have existed,” Mr Mat-thews said.

“The way it is shaping up this weekend we actu-ally have more registered sellers at the moment than what we had for the whole

event last year.”The birds on show at the

fair range from small fi nches and budgerigars through to various species of parrots and large cockatoos.

Berri man Peter Philp, who will attend Sunday’s event, has been breeding birds for 35 years and said the fair is “a meeting forum for all breeders”.

“My thrill is to breed the birds,” he said.

Mr Philp currently travels across South Australia attend-ing different bird sales.

Amongst his current col-lection are eight different species of lorikeets and the eclectus green bird.

There are a number of interesting trade stalls on dis-play this year with the trading of birds taking place between 12 and 2pm.

Concerns over Lyrup ferry’s

long term future

A local repairer believes decision to close Cadell ferry will...

Cost people’s livesSHADOW Tourism Minster David Ridgway has called on Tourism Minister Gail Gago to insist the decision to close the Cadell ferry must be reversed or resign.

Mr Ridgway said Minister Gago must lobby Premier Jay Weatherill, Treasurer Jack Snelling and Transport Minister Pat Conlon to keep the ferry open.

“The ferry doesn’t cost,” Mr Ridgway said.

“It more than pays for itself by promoting tourism, stimulating economic activity, growing regional investment and providing an essential service to the people of Cadell and beyond.

“Tourism is a $5 billion industry in South Australia.

“A good government should be encouraging tourism, not killing it.

“The Riverland has already had to handle the impact of drought, water cuts and higher water charges, low export prices and a changing economy.

“I say this to Minister Gago; keep this ferry open or resign your commission as Tourism Minister.”

Ridgway: Reverse decision or resign

IRRIGATORS and wineries are con-tinually being hit hard by high utility bills as electricity costs continue to rise.

Central Irrigation Trust has been talking to its growers over the past week about the increasing electricity expenses.

The electricity price rise for the Central Irrigation Trust is on par with the announcement that domestic power fees will rise by 18 per cent, according to chief executive offi cer Gavin McMahon.

“The 18 per cent is the domes-tic tariffs, ours are slightly harder to interpret but when you work it all it out it is similar across the entire bill,” he said.

“We have been talking to custom-ers over the past week.

“They are very disappointed that the carbon tax is implemented and it’s impacting on them and they are disappointed that ETSA just seem to have an unsustainable attitude to-wards power increases.”

Mr McMahon said CIT has faced

price hikes in electricity of almost 100 per cent over the past three years.

“It fl ows right through the whole community,” he said.

“The cost to the wineries will go up, every sort of input cost you’ve got just keeps going up.

“It affects business as much as it affects every individual.

“We have been discussing more broadly in government both here but more particularly federally and I think people are really starting to un-derstand the impact this is having.”

A LOCAL activist is warning Riverland pet owners to take extra precautions after she claims several animals have been stolen from homes to be used to breed.

Loxton’s Martina Roberts, who has been involved with the Moorook Animal Shelter for the past 13 years, said she has been told a vehicle was go-ing around the Riverland steal-ing animals.

“A lot of pedigree dogs have been stolen for breeding,” she said.

“They want to get them breeding because then they are going to sell them.

“A lot of dogs too are being pinched for fi ghting.

“Someone was telling me about this truck going around and pinching dogs and every-body is pretty quiet about it and nobody is game enough to

speak up.”Mrs Roberts said she has

heard several reports of dogs going missing in the Riverland in the past month.

“We are also a bit worried about the fur trade,” she said.

“A lot of dogs and cats are actually skinned alive for their fur.

“I’ve had a few people who have just come up and told me about dogs that have gone missing.”

Pet owners need to make sure their animals are secured in their property before going to work and they need to be microchipped and desexed for extra protection, according to Mrs Roberts.

“They go off to work and don’t have their gate padlocked and the next thing you know, the dog’s gone and that is a fact,” she said.

RIVERLAND residents will soon be able to see up-to-date infor-mation about the waiting times and the number of patients be-ing treated in local hospitals.

The dashboard, which is available online from mid-day tomorrow, will be updated every 30 minutes to provide real-time information about bed occupancy, average length of stay and patient admissions and discharges.

Minister for Health and Age-ing John Hill said the launch of the inpatient dashboard is an-other step in making the health system even more transparent.

“People will be able to see

the same information used by their doctors, nurses and health professionals to manage capac-ity and plan services in our busy hospitals,” Minister Hill said.

“The inpatient dashboard gives detailed information on the number of patients in hospi-tal at any one time.

“The dashboard also includes information specifi c to Riverland hospitals about the number of patients currently within each clinical area.”

From midday, you can see the inpatient data at the on the ‘Our hospital dashboards’ page of the SA Health website at www.sahealth.sa.gov.au

WAIKERIE ELECTRICITY EXPENSE

MEMBER for Barker Patrick Secker said the pressure on household budgets in the re-gion will rise following the an-nouncement of an 18 per cent increase in electricity prices from July 1.

The announcement was made last week by the Essen-tial Services Commission with South Australian households to pay on average an extra $275 per year and small busi-nesses to pay an extra $527 per year.

“The Labor Government is introducing the world’s biggest Carbon Tax and as a result Bark-er residents and businesses will pay the world’s highest electric-

ity prices,” Mr Secker said.“The Commission’s an-

nouncement also revealed South Australian’s can expect their gasbills to increase by $1.47 per gigajoule from July 1 this year.

“The carbon tax is a signifi -cant contributor to this 18 per cent electricity price increase and it is a blow to local families and local businesses.

“Families in Barker are al-ready feeling the strain of high cost of living and small busi-nesses are struggling with a two speed economy.

“The Carbon Tax will be a huge burden and it is only go-ing to get worse.”

By ROBIN FOLEY

A VISIT to India wasn’t on my bucket list until former Berri dentist Kosha Jhalla invited me to attend her wedding to Grishm Bhatt.

I decided that the privilege of attending a Hindu wedding in India was a “once in a life-time opportunity” and that I had to go.

Kosha and her husband are both young people of Indian heritage who came to Ad-elaide as students, completed their degrees and became Australian citizens.

About 20 Australian friends trav-elled to the wedding in April, includ-ing about six young doctors of Indian or Malaysian heritage.

Relatives and friends came from all over India, the United States, Kenya and Dubai.

Flying into Ahmedabad, I had time to look at the markets and visit Mahatma Gan-dhi’s Ashram, a 600 year old stepping well and an ancient Muslim Mosque.

Two days later we travelled to Gandhi-naga (named in honour of Gandhi) for the Mehndi ceremony and pre-wedding party with the following day being the formal wed-ding ceremony.

The groom arrived on a decorated white horse with a band playing and his fam-ily, friends and relatives dancing around the groom.

Of course, Kosha looked stunning in all

her wedding costumes, jewellery and henna painting on her hands and feet.

The women looked absolutely stunning in their beautiful sarees, all in beautiful colours, many with gold threads in them.

I wore Indian clothes for the whole trip but I chose not to tackle a saree instead choos-ing to wear salwar kameez, which is basically a long tunic with loose pants and a dupatta (a large scarf).

Our local Indian women often wear this costume.

The Indian people seemed to appreciate seeing us in their traditional clothes, in fact, these costumes were very comfortable and appropriate for the 40 plus degree weather.

Following the wedding ceremonies, the groom’s uncle (who owns a large travel agen-cy in India), arranged a six day tour specifi -cally for us.

For the start of our tour, we fl ew to Delhi and viewed some iconic sites and then trav-elled by bus to Agra and on to Jaipur to see all of the top tourist spots.

Every moment of the bus trip was a fas-cinating being able to see all the different forms of transport as the Indian population went about their daily chores.

On the road were cattle, elephants, cam-els, tuk-tuks, cars, trucks, tractors and buses.

We saw grain crops being harvested by hand and women working on the roads, mud-brick making and stone carving.

The all marble Taj Mahal at Agra was stun-ning with the forts and palaces about 600 to 700 years old and the sheer magnitude of the structures was truly amazing.

The guides kept me fascinated with all the history and romantic love stories of the kings and their wives.

Following our six day tour, we fl ew to Mumbai for the groom’s reception hosted by his parents.

Here we enjoyed more warm Indian hos-pitality, Indian food and more colourful In-dian sarees.

The bride and groom greeted about 450 friends and relatives on a stage decorated with hundreds of Singapore orchids.

On our last day, the groom’s parents took us on a tour of Mumbai, viewing all of the English and Indian buildings in the central business district and also the Gates of India.

AS JEFF Drogemuller looks out across Yatco Lagoon, he hears noth-ing but the call of birds near the water’s edge.

There is something so peace-ful and tranquil about the lagoon, located in Moorook, that brings a smile to Jeff’s face.

Jeff’s passion for Yatco Lagoon and his local community over the past three decades was acknowl-edged this month during the inau-gural Riverland Natural Resources Management Volunteer Awards.

However, the modest fruit grow-er does not volunteer his time for awards but for the love of his town and community.

Jeff’s ancestors

THE Drogemuller name dates back more than 100 years when Jeff’s great grandfather emigrated to Yatco Lagoon in Moorook.

Back when his ancestors were on the land in the early 1900s, they experienced the natural wetting and drying cycles of the wetland.

Growing up Jeff knew all about the history of his family and its in-volvement with Yatco Lagoon and also on the land.

“I was brought up in the times when there were plenty of jobs and my parents had a farm,” he said.

“When I left school I had an in-stant job to go to so I worked for my dad.

“We established our current orange block and that was to help offset prices when wheat was down or during the drought, so we could grow some irrigated stuff and we’ve been in that since about 1960.”

Early on Jeff decided to travel but it made him appreciate what he had at home.

“We got to India, a friend and myself, and hitchhiked through to Israel and across to Europe, trav-elled around there and then to Eng-land,” he said.

“Like most people it made me appreciate what we have here so

much more.“I came back from that trip

thinking that we’ve got as much of what I’ve seen in Australia, maybe not as big or as high, but we’ve got everything, it’s all here.”

From there Jeff joined a tour group in Central Australia as a part time driver where he got to see an-other side of the country during the winter and was back on the farm at Moorook in the summer.

Jeff got married and decided to concentrate on fruit growing and once his father retired, he took on the responsibility of the fruit block.

“The block was really good and there was enough money there to educate our kids,” he said.

“Now things have changed, it’s harder to make a living and we’ve had to rethink what we are doing. “

Through the drought we suf-fered a lack of water and it was hard to understand that when we owned our water, we’d worked and paid for it all and we weren’t allowed to take it, so we had to spend our retire-ment money buying water.”

Giving to nature

AT his mother’s funeral at Moorook, a realisation came over Jeff.

“When my mother died, we buried here at Moorook Cemetery, it was a shocking day, windy, dusty, bits of rain and not a shelter any-where,” Jeff said.

“So through our primary school both my wife and I were very heav-ily involved in that and we got a grant through Greening Australia, enough to supply 200 trees and council helped put water onto the cemetery and we established that.

“That was the start of involve-ment in seeing what you could do by tidying up the place and growing trees.”

Jeff then turned his attention to Wachtel’s Lagoon.

“We decided we’d like to do something along Wachtel’s Lagoon on the main nature strip,” he said.

“There was nothing much there so we got a grant to plant trees there and we were told that the trees wouldn’t grow because once they

get their roots into the water table they will die.

“We were lucky enough to be involved with Moorook irrigators at that stage and instead of putting a lot of water through the growth line in the soil, they restricted their irrigation, changed their irrigation practices and that water table abso-lutely dropped.

“The trees today are still looking beautiful and that was 25 years ago.”

A love for his wetlandGIVEN the Drogemuller family’s

long association with Yatco Lagoon, Jeff began to become more involved with the picturesque wetland.

“When we had the water re-strictions we were told by the gov-ernment that we were going to block Yatco off and dry it out,” he said.

“So instead of protesting, we de-cided if it is going to happen it will, so we might as well help as much as can and see if we can improve this into a wetland, so we can get it back to like it was before the Locks went in during 1925.

“We’ve seen it dry out once and we know we’re on a winner.

“We are working with nature and nature is just wonderful with

what it can do and that gives my wife and I enough enthusiasm to keep going.”

Jeff is co-chair and a founding member of the Yatco Wetland Land-care Group and through this asso-ciation, he is constantly monitoring groundwater, tree health, salinity and bird life.

“By returning this to a wetland we hopefully will achieve getting more of the softer feeding birds such as the pink-eared duck and musk ducks,” he said.

“I want to see Yatco through to its fi nal plan, so our wetting and drying can be introduced.”

One thing is for certain, Jeff will spend many more hours sitting watching out over his beloved wet-land, thankful for the path life has taken him.

Proud town suffersAS A Cadell resident and manager of The Cadell Community Club, I am writing this letter with a heavy heart.

Cadell is a very proud town that has suffered quite a substan-cial amount like many other small communities in the region in recent years.

During long drought we battled through with heavy water restric-tions for block owners and also during the fl ood, our undervalued fruit industry suffered at the hands of an ignorant government.

We have coped with that and just got on with it.

No whinging. No begging for handouts. No worries. That’s what living in this great

country in a country town is about.The impending closure of the

Cadell ferry is sadly a remind-er to us all that we simply do NOT matter.

We, along with the whole River-land region, provide a huge amount of income to the Government purse but we just don’t count when it comes time to be repaid in-kind.

This decision affects us all. It will have a domino effect

throughout many towns.We were NOT consulted and

given only nine days notice until the meeting to put forth our case upon deaf ears.

We have been doing everything we can to fi ght back around the clock, 24/7, and we are growing weary but we will not give up.

Put simply, if we allow this to happen to us on June 30, who will be next?

Please consider our fi ght and join us in saying to Transport Minis-ter Patrick Conlon and the Premier Jay Weatherill – Enough is Enough!

Jo Willington,Cadell.

Is the State Government listening?

Is Mr (Pat) Conlon listening?One wonders whether the De-

partment of Transport and Mr Con-lon are even listening to the resi-dents of Cadell after the extremely well attended meeting at Cadell on Thursday night.

The Transport Department has come out the day after the meeting saying that the ferry will close as they have learnt of no more reasons to keep the ferry open.

Were they even listening? Many of the questions raised

at the meeting and on local radio remain unanswered with the big-gest being, where is the regional impact statement that this very government implemented when making such decisions that affect rural communities?

We heard the emotional plea of the family that lost a son due to an accident on the north side and would have lost another had the Cadell ferry not been there.

Is there going to have be a trag-edy to realise that $400,000 is a small price to pay for one’s life?

The only reason that the Depart-ment of Tansport could come up with for closing the ferry was based on counting cars on a ferry once a year, over a two week period, going back 10 years.

These are very rubbery fi gures at best.

It was blatantly obvious that the Department of Transport has a cul-ture of waste and overruns.

Surely a saving can be found, perhaps one or two ‘fat cats’ could be replaced?

To hear the passion and anger of the Cadell community, surely Mr Conlon, you can acknowledge and face the people of Cadell.

Give them the real and hon-est reason why you are closing the ferry.

For it is you Mr Conlon and no-one else that, with one simple tick of a pen, can guarantee the survival of the Cadell ferry.

Let’s not rip the heart and soul out of this small community of South Australia.

Paul Liebich, Taylorville.

Proud and then disgustedTHE support that rolled up at the Cadell Institute on Thursday night to hear from the Transport spokes-man was incredible.

People came from everywhere. The support of the Waikerie,

Morgan, Ramco, Sunlands, Tay-lorville, Murbko, Blanchetown and surrounding communities was fantastic.

It was great to see so many Cadell people come along.

That’s the thing about country people, we might be bitter rivals in sport but we all come together when it is needed.

We were supported by a contin-gent from the Mid Murray Council and the Loxton Waikerie Council.

Apologies were received from two other Riverland councils.

Three elected state members also were in attendance, which in-cluded both local members.

We were asked to supply infor-mation about how the closure of the Cadell ferry would adversely af-fect people.

They told the meeting that they wanted to take these reasons back and for us to supply fi gures and in-formation.

So it was with most DISGUST that I heard their spokesperson an-nounce on Adelaide radio, less than 12 hours after the meeting, that they had not learnt anything new and that their recommendation was that the ferry service be closed.

So basically there has never been consultation with our com-munity or other communities that the closure would affect.

The meeting at Cadell was an announcement.

I am, like so many others, inthat I am sick of people in the

country being ignored, not consult-ed and being treated like second class citizens.

Daniel McGurgan,

Chairman Cadell Community and Tourist Association.

Ferry closure beggars belief

THE SA Strategic Plan is described as the ‘long term blueprint for our future’.

At the risk of boring readers with jargon, I will quote from the plan.

Our State Government Strategic Plan states that “our identity and economic prosperity has been, and continues to be, shaped by regional South Australia”.

One of the plan’s targets is to “increase regional populations, out-side of Greater Adelaide by 20,000 to 320,000 or more by 2020.”

The plan also says “our eco-nomic prosperity began within our regions and today we still rely on our agricultural industries. Our wine regions are world renowned, with overseas exports totalling $1.6 billion in 2008-09. Our food ex-ports, both to overseas and inter-state, totalled over $4.1 billion dur-ing 2009-10”.

The plan aims to see regional communities grow, prosper and strengthen their economies through areas such as businesses

Goal - “Take risks to innovate in new industries; continuously

look for ways to increase produc-tivity”.

Food indus-try goal - “Grow the contribu-tion made by the

South Australian food industry to $20 billion by 2020”.

Exports goal – “Increase the value of South Australia’s export in-come to $25 billion by 2020”.

Tourism goal - “Increase visitor expenditure in South Australia’s to-tal tourism industry to $8 billion by 2020”.

So to sum up the State Stra-tegic Plan, it is a vision and goal for our region to increase its pop-ulation and grow its economy through business expansion, par-ticularly in the areas of food pro-duction and exports and also to substantially increase our region’s tourist visitation.

To close the Cadell ferry would, in essence, be closing a road in our community.

Since when in a growth com-munity do we close a road?

Growing communities need ex-pansion in their road infrastructure, not closures.

One of the goals in the SA Stra-tegic Plan is that “South Australia’s transport network enables effi cient movement by industry and the community”.

A target is to “ensure the provi-sion of key economic and social in-frastructure accommodates popula-tion growth”.

I suggest that the State Govern-ment refer to its own strategic plan and therefore reverse their decision to close the Cadell ferry.

Liz Frankel, Waikerie.

Reconsider closureDEAR Minister, I am writing to im-plore you to reconsider the decision to close the Cadell ferry.

I attended the meeting last night (Thursday) in Cadell and listened to the offi cials from the Transport Department.

You need to understand how this will effect the community as a whole, not just be concerned with saving $400,000.

There needs to be impact stud-ies done on the effect on business, tourism and extended travel times, just to name a few issues.

During the normal course of my business I utilise both ferrys and I can guarantee you that the Mor-gan ferry will in no way cope with larger traffi c volumes especially in peak season.

I am also concerned that mo-torists frustrated in delays at Mor-gan will begin to travel the Mur-rylands road between Morgan and Blanchtown.

This road is notorious for its poor state and I know accident rates will increase in proportion to the delays experienced at Morgan.

I see this fi rst hand as we are called to do accident towing in this region and this road tends to catch out the younger inexperienced city drivers.

I know because I pick them up. In closing I can only ask you

once again to reconsider what you have been told by your Transport Department and think of the com-munity impact for our region.

Please study the broader impact this closure will have on the River-land community.

Stuart McKay, Waikerie.

What is the real cost?THE government are closing the Cadell ferry to supposedly save $400,000 but what is the cost of a) removing all the infrastructure from the site, b) closing off the two access roads securely, c) sign post-ing throughout the Riverland and Burra areas advising of the closure and what alternate routes to be tak-en and d) upgrading the alternative road routes and especially the inter-section with the Sturt Highway?

Chris and Ian Bodinar,Cadell.

Poor treatmentJAY Weatherill and Pat Conlon,is this the way you let your depart-ments treat the people of South Australia?

First of all you coerce the people with the ferry contract into shorten-ing their contract by eight months in the belief that a new contract will be renewed after June 30, 2012.

You then make a phone call to hire the Cadell Institute to advise the people of the closure but give no notifi cation to any residents that this meeting was going to be held.

Did you expect to hold this meeting with noone present?

It certainly looked like it when the presenters turned up with one piece of A4 paper with fi gures on it.

Where were the written hand-outs to substantiate your supposed impact study on the effect of the closure on all Cadell ratepayers and surrounding areas?

This is not a Government of transparency Jay.

What happened to the agree-ment you signed with the councils to “work together to achieve bet-ter outcomes for South Australian communities, better collaboration and co-operation”.

The Mid Murray Council were not even advised.

I have no confi dence in this Government.

Country people pay taxes too.

Janelle Anderson,Cadell Lagoon.

HARVEY World Travel and renowned photographer Italo Vardaro have teamed up to offer a unique

personally escorted tour to Italy, called the ‘Italian Mosaic’.

The tour, departing on July 12, 2013, will encompass Italy’s most famous and historic elements.

Experience the romantic scenery of Ven-ice, the tranquil waters of Capri and the re-markable history of Rome, all through the lens of a camera.

Italy is a movable feast of endless cours-es.

No matter how much you gorge yourself on its splendours, you always feel you haven’t made it past the antipasti.

Few countries offer such variety and few visitors leave without a fervent desire to re-turn.

“We are going to concentrate on seeing things and discovering things, rather than just being a tourist, we are going to be explorers,” Italo said.

“Photography plays an integral part of your holiday because as you are photograph-ing you are learning and that’s what gives an-other dimension to your travels.”

The Italian Mosaic tour is for camera en-thusiasts across all levels from the beginner to the advanced photographer and even for the non-photographers who want to indulge in all the beauty that Italy has to offer.

“For the beginners, it really is sticking to the basics,” Italo said.

“They may be taking photographs and not understanding what they are doing and I’ll be able to enlighten them on the basics, meaning basic composition, basic lighting and basic camera skills.

“For the person who is a little more ad-vanced in photography, we start delving into the exposures and the capability of the cam-era.

“And the really die hard camera enthusi-asts and camera club members will then start seeking the ‘wow’ shots, which is getting up early in the morning or staying out late at night and trying different exposures and dif-ferent ways of seeing things.

“We’ll be up early to get in the light and the magic of a new day breaking and explor-ing all the nooks and crannies.”

Whilst visiting landmarks such as the Col-osseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa and the water-ways of Venice and much more, you will have the opportunity to capture all of this whilst having the photographic expertise of Italo Vardaro along the way.

So, why join a personally escorted holi-day?

Being accompanied by a travel escort on your journey means extra personal assistance to make your holiday a more enjoyable, has-sle free adventure.

You can rest assured the travel providers Harvey World Travel uses are only those with the highest reputation to ensure your holiday experience exceeds your expectations.

Much research has been put into the de-sign of these tours to maximise your precious holiday time, giving you value for money and the inclusions of many special highlights.

No consultation, no impact assessment and no logic

ONE hundred vehicles on a quiet day.The Cadell ferry makes just as much profi t

for the State Government as any other ferry on the river – none.

Just the same as any stretch of road. It is with this infrastructure that South

Australians go about their lives and generate wealth to underpin the economy.

The Department of Transport has devised a formula to depict the Cadell ferry as a black hole, vortexing state wealth in at no return to taxpayers.

This is far more palatable to assert than the fact Cadell ferry makes a politically “soft target” for closure.

The Department of Transport simply an-nounced the Cadell ferry will close with three weeks warning, no community consultation, no impact assessment, no logic and no ben-efi t to this state, now or in the long term.

A “suck it up” meeting was subse-quently convened to rub our noses in it after the event.

It appears a culture of arrogance emanat-ing from the ministry fi lters down through the bureaucracy, culminating in the insulting behaviour of the Department of Transport representatives at last week’s meeting.

We were told it was important that we get to speak, listen and be heard.

That’s the defi nition of hypocrisy as the decision had already been made.

Riverland communities are asked to show responsibility to the “broader taxpayer” to save Government ministers that obligation.

If the Department of Transport represen-tatives at last week’s meeting had been listen-ing, the message was quite clear.

To put it politely, there is plenty of scope to save money through better management without closing a vital service.

We are, after all, talking about $400,000 per year.

Jock Gordon,

Cadell.

Join rally over ferry closureLAST Thursday night I attended a packed meeting at the Cadell Institute to hear the Department of Planning, Transport and In-frastructure tell the local community that as of June 30, they would no longer have a ferry service.

This message was delivered by departmen-tal staff, no prior consultation of the commu-nity from the Weatherill Labor Government, no explanation from Transport Minister Pat-rick Conlon and worst of all, we are yet to re-ceive any response from Minister Gail Gaigo.

Gail Gaigo as Minister for Agriculture, Tourism and Regional Development has been silent, when all three of her portfolio responsibilities will be negatively impacted by this decision.

We were told at the meeting of the impact on young farming families who have man-aged to survive through low water allocations and now see an opportunity to rebuild hor-ticultural production and utilise the modern effi cient irrigation infrastructure to help the district recover.

Young farmers like Steve Liebich should be given support from the Agriculture Min-ister to grow their businesses not have vital infrastructure taken away.

All river communities need to be con-cerned about the Cadell ferry closure, as it was made clear if there is an alternative route that has a sealed road and the department be-lieves the ferry, due to lack of patronage, is not viable you may be next.

If the Department needs to save money in the future then Lyrup, Purnong, Narrung and potentially Tailem Bend are all at risk.

I call on the State Liberals or a cross bench member to move a Private Members Bill to suspend the closure of the Cadell ferry pend-ing a more comprehensive vehicle movement survey based on complete annual data.

The community also demands a compre-hensive economic impact review of the im-pact of the removal of the ferry.

If you believe, as I do, that this penny pinching State Labor Government is removing services from rural South Australians to help prop up their poor budget position, then I en-courage you to help the community of Cadell and the Riverland West Region by attending the planned public rally on Wednesday, June 27 at Parliament House in Adelaide.

James Stacey,Senate Candidate SA Nationals.

A done deal?A WELL constructed and somewhat dramatic plea from the Cadell community and Tour-ist Association has been circulated of late, seeking a reversal of the SA Government’s announcement that the Cadell ferry is to be discontinued from July 1.

Many of the statements and arguments to support the views of Mr (Daniel) McGur-gan and his committee cannot be refuted or criticised in any way.

The facts, in most cases presented, are plain for all to see and accept.

The writer of this letter does not, however, entirely agree with the arguments against clo-sure but I do accept them as being geniune.

Firstly, my observations for quite a while now indicate that many travellers driving west to east or vice versa, ex-Victoria, use the Sturt Highway and turn to the Waikerie ferry to reach the Morgan-Burra Road.

Traffi c on the Monash-Morgan Road is relatively light in comparison.

Secondly, the township of Cadell will not ‘die’ as claimed by many.

Other SA towns that have been subject to

a form of by-pass over recent years have sur-vived various enforced changes.

Living at Mount Barker years ago allowed me to see how that town had fl ourished once the freeway was in place, despite the gloom and doom furore at the time the freeway was proposed.

The bottom line however, is the dilemma of the SA Government to offset the much lower income that GST has been generating for it up until now.

Each and every department has to some-how reduce their budgets to offset this, plus annually expanding costs of total governance.Hence, Transport SA needs to do so with the Cadell ferry being a $400,000 proportion of that need (a cynic may be excused for com-ment that, after all, votes out of the Cadell/Morgan area are not a large proportion of the total rural/remote SA electorate).

Workers, growers and school children will be obliged to undertake longer journeys and this is possibly the major supporting point of Mr McGurgan’s letter.

A point not to be ignored. Yet, to place a more constructive viewpoint upon the whole matter, may I emphasise an area that needs to

be considered?Pupils at the smaller rural schools do miss

out to a degree by not having the social and competitive contact that occurs in the larger country schools, so many educationalists tell us.

Added to this is often a desire for older primary school students to receive a wider syllabus to effectively prepare them for high school years.

Such is not always possible in smaller schools that cannot budget for extra staff to provide guidance focused upon these needs.

A daily journey to larger primary schools at Waikerie or Morgan, inconvenient and tire-some as it may be, could be benefi cial to our younger generation.

Add to this the fact that one fi ne day the Government (with Federal help) may serious-ly consider building a bridge across the Mur-ray at a convenient location between Cadell and Morgan.

After all is said, isn’t the ferry closure a done deal anyway?

Allen Bennett, Waikerie.

TAX TIMEFEATURE

By AMP Financial Planner Danny Kearney*

DON’T forget!Make sure you are

claiming all possible deductions this tax time.

With the June 30 just around the corner, now may be a good time to start planning strategies on how to minimise taxation.

In the lead up to tax time we often spend time sifting through old receipts to see what expenses we can claim when we should be looking deeper into our accounts and using fi nancial strategies to en-sure we are making the most of all possible deductions.

Here are some points to

remember in the lead up to June 30.

PREPAYMENT LIST:

Fixed rate investment and property loans

Prepaying some, or all, of your 2012/13 interest before July 1, will bring forward your tax deduction in this fi nancial year.

General insuranceIf you have insurance

cover on your investment

property, you may also be able to prepay this and claim a tax deduction in this fi nancial year.

Income protection insurance

Similarly, by paying the 2012/13 premium before July 1, you will be able to bring forward this tax deduction to this fi nancial year

Private health insurance

With the reduction of the Private Health Insurance rebate from July 1, now is the time to consider pre-

paying all, or part, of the 2012/13 year premiums to maximise the current rebate.

Some Private Health Insurers, such as Bupa, will allow you pay up to 14 months premiums in advance, maximising the current 30 per cent rebate.

Bring forward capital losses

If you have any n o n - p e r f o r m i n g investment assets, you may want to consider selling them in order to realise the capital loss in this fi nancial year.

This money can then be freed up to go into investments with greater potential.

Note that capital losses cannot be claimed against ordinary income and can only be offset against capital gains.

DonationsAny donations over $2

made to legitimate charitable organistaions are 100 per cent deductable, so don’t forget to donate to these worthy and needy charities.

SUPER STRATEGIES:

Government co-contribution

bonusThis fi nancial year is

the last chance for eligible individuals with incomes less than $61,920 to qualify for the full $1000 co-contribution bonus, as it will be halved from July 1 onwards.

You will need to make a non-concessional contribution of up to $1000 to your super fund for the full bonus.

In a world where a 5 per cent return on investment is bearable, this represents a return on investment of 100 per cent, so don’t miss this opportunity.

Personal deductible or salary sacrifi ce

contributionsIf you are aged between

50 and 74 and still meet the work test, this is the last chance to access the $50,000

concessional superannuation contribution limits, as they will be reducing to $25,000 next fi nancial year.

Individuals under 50, can still access the full $25,000 contribution limit this year and save paying tax at their marginal rate.

Be sure to check that these limits for this fi nancial year are not exceeded.

Spouse contributionIf eligible, you can make

a non-concessional super contribution into your spouse’s super account and receive a tax offset of up to $540, where your spouse’s income is less than $10,800.

The $450,000 “bring forward”

non-concessional contribution ruleWhile it’s still possible to

contribute up to $150,000 per annum into super, providing you have met the work test, it may be possible to access the $450,000 bring forward rule.

This allows individuals to access the greater contribution limit, depending on your other non-concessional contributions since July 1, 2007.

If you have, or are, turning 65 this fi nancial year and have met the work test, this is your last opportunity to transfer assets up to this amount into the tax

friendly super environment and subsequently the more generous tax environment of Allocated Annuities in preparation for your retirement..

While tax can have a signifi cant impact on how soon you reach your fi nancial goals, it’s important to remember that the different strategies available to minimise your tax should be considered all year round, not just in these last remaining weeks of the fi nancial year.

Each strategy or investment should also be able to stand on its own merits and should not be used solely as a tax-effective instrument.

Seek advice, speak to your fi nancial adviser, accountant or tax adviser now, and control the things you can.

IT MAY not seem like much time but what you do this month could have a signifi cant impact on your upcoming tax bill or refund.

June 30 is coming around quick and the coming weeks represent a last chance op-portunity to organise your affairs to save on tax.

It’s time to dig out your paperwork and get organised.

“There are so many dif-ferent types of government benefi ts and tax conces-sions these days that it is no wonder we don’t understand what we are entitled to,” Mr Raftery, aka the taxman said.

“It is confusing and con-sequently some people are not claiming everything they should be entitled to.”

Here are tax tips from Mr Taxman Adrian Raftery:

1. Family trust resolutions

After years of abuse, this year it is mandatory for those with family (or discre-tionary) trusts to have a writ-ten trustee resolution before June 30 showing the intend-ed distribution of income to family members.

Careful tax planning is required otherwise it may cost your family thousands in unnecessary (and unwant-ed) taxes.

2. Car log book If you use your car for

work purposes and keep a log book for 12 weeks then

the deductions can be in the thousands of dollars.

Make sure that you keep all costs associated with the running of your car (such as petrol, insurance, regis-tration, servicing, lease pay-ments) for the whole year, not just the period that you kept the log book.

3. Minimise capital gains tax (CGT) The share market has had

a roller coaster year in 2012. If you made a nice capi-

tal gain or two earlier in the fi nancial year then you can reduce CGT by selling any non-performing shares that you may be currently holding.

Any unrealised gains should be sold after 1

July to defer tax for another year.

And remember that if you hold shares for more than 12 months you reduce CGT by half.

4. Keep your re-ceipts

With the ATO continu-ing to ramp up their audit activity yet again, it is im-portant that you keep your receipts.

The ATO motto is no re-ceipt, no deduction, so you could be costing yourself dollars by not keeping those dockets.

5. Get a great accountant

Avoid paying too much in tax or leaving yourself to a visit from the taxman.

Great accountants are like surveyors they know where the boundaries are.

And their fees are tax de-ductible.

This information is of a general nature only and does not constitute professional advice. You must seek professional advice in relation to your particular circumstances before act-ing. These tips were provided by Mr Taxman, Adrian Raftery, author of 101 Ways to Save Money on Your Tax - Legally! 2012-13 edition

With June 30 fast approaching, author of 101 Ways to Save Money on Your Tax - Legally! Adrian Raftery shares his tips and advice on how to make the most out of your refund.

■ TIPS: Author Adrian Raftery believes preparation for

tax time is vital.

Education Tax Refund

IN the 2012 Budget the Gov-ernment announced that the Education Tax Refund would be replaced by a new payment called the School-kids Bonus, to be paid by the Department of Human Services.

As part of the transi-tion to the new Schoolkids Bonus, the Education Tax Refund for 2011-12 will be paid in full to all eli-gible families as a one-off payment from June 20, 2012.

This means you will no longer need to claim the Ed-ucation Tax Refund in your tax return during tax time.

If you do not receive the one-off payment in June, contact the Department of Human Services to fi nd out if you are entitled to receive it.

For more information visit department of human services website and search for Schoolkids Bonus.

Flood levyTHE Government intro-duced a fl ood levy for the 2011-12 year only, to assist fl ood affected communities to rebuild essential infra-structure.

The fl ood levy applies if your taxable income is greater than $50,000 and you do not fi t into one of the exemption categories.

If you are liable to pay the fl ood levy, the ATO will work out the amount of levy and show it on your notice of assessment.

This year the ATO also has some new and im-proved online tools to help you stay on top of your tax and superannuation.

Dependent Spouse Tax Offset

THERE have been changes to the eligibility criteria for claiming the dependent spouse tax offset.

If your spouse was born on or after July 1, 1971, you can no longer claim a de-pendent spouse offset.

However, taxpayers who maintain an invalid or permanently disabled spouse, support a carer or who are eligible for the zone, overseas forces or the overseas civilian tax offsets are exempt from the new age limit and will still be able to claim the value of the dependent spouse tax offset via an expanded invalid spouse, zone, overseas forces or overseas civilian offset.

What’s new in 2012?When completing your tax return there are a number of things you may need to be aware.

WITH home loan interest rates currently very

competitive, many home owners will be wondering whether to refi nance or switch lenders.

While it is an opportune time to do so, receiving the best advice about what you can and can’t do with you loan is essential.

Robin Foley Mortgage Bro-kers can help you remortgage, consider debt consolidation or fi nd the suitable loan so you can own a home.

“I don’t work for the banks, I only work in the best interests of the borrower or customer,” Mrs Foley said.

By calling into Mrs Foley’s home based business in Berri, she can help home buyers choose the most competitive interest rate from a large range of reputable lenders that are available.

When dealing with home or car loans, Mrs Foley does not just look at interest rates but she assesses other costs, including expenses such as annual fees.

“Upon assessment of the borrower’s situation they may be better off adjusting their existing loan by changing to a different package in the same bank,” she said.

“If that is the case, I can ar-range that.

“People who are wanting to reduce their power and water costs could be considering in-stalling solar panels, an irriga-tion system or extra insulation.

“I can help them look at a loan increase such as borrow-ing off their equity.

“This is better than tak-ing out a personal loan or credit card.”

Mrs Foley is a fully licenced and qualifi ed credit advisor and is a member of the Mortgage Fi-nance Association of Australia.

The local business can also provide services such as residential and investment loans, self-managed super fund loans, equipment fi nance and much more.

Mrs Foley said she can also help with equipment fi -nance with the Federal Gov-ernment announcing tax and depreciation incentives in the recent Budget.

“It may be an opportune time for business owners to purchase or replace their equip-ment or vehicles,” she said.

With the current economy, many people are also con-cerned about their superannua-tion fund losing value due to the share market fl uctuations.

“A person can have their own self-managed super fund, this may suit people who want to be in control of their own su-per,” Mrs Foley said.

The Government now al-

lows people who have a self-managed super fund to borrow and purchase investment prop-erties within their fund.

“I have several lenders who are keen to fund this type of loan,” Mrs Foley said.

It is important that people with large debt also seek advice, according to Mrs Foley.

“People who have excessive debt have got no reason to be embarrassed about coming to see me and talking about it,” she said.

“We can see what other options are available to them to prevent default on their credit report.”

Mrs Foley enjoys making the customer happy, so they go away satisfi ed.

“It is very rewarding when you get the approval for some-one to get into their own home because I know how special that experience is,” she said.

Mrs Foley is also very com-munity minded being a mem-ber of the Berri District Busi-ness Association, involved in planning the new entity Busi-ness Riverland Inc, president of the Berri Rotary Club, chair of the Berri Town Beautifi ca-tion Committee and a member of the Regional Development Australia Riverland and Mur-raylands Board.

Ruston’s nominatedNOMINATIONS in two different categories could make local business Ruston’s Roses a statewide winner in the 13th Advantage SA Regional Awards.

With nominations closing tomorrow, Advantage SA chief executive offi cer Kar-en Raffen is urging those in the region to nominate suc-cess stories in the Riverland and Murraylands in the 13 award categories.

Renmark based business Ruston’s Roses is just one of more than 80 nominations so far, with the local business entered in the tourism and small business categories.

Advantage SA Regional Awards co-ordinator Myri Timotheou said the awards are all about rewarding out-standing excellence by com-munity individuals, busi-nesses and organisation in South Australian regions.

“It’s all about regional pride and it’s all about re-

ceiving that recognition that you truly deserve,” Miss Timotheou said.

“Some people just go on with their everyday lives and are not really recognised for the region and for their community.

“It’s a great platform

to promote your business as well.”

Ruston’s Roses owner Anne Ruston said it is an honour to be nominated for the award.

“I think it is extremely important to be judged by our peers,” she said.

Lyrup v Brown’s Well

AFTER a slow start to the season, Lyr-up has a genuine chance of securing a top four position.

However, the Lions must beat Brown’s Well this round with Cobdogla, Paringa and Ramco all tough oppo-nents in the following fi xtures.

The timely return of premiership captain Jason Marr from Pinnaroo will certainly contribute towards the Lions’ objective to play fi nals football.

A 10 goal third quarter against East Murray gave Lyrup the advantage last round, while Brown’s Well managed its fi rst win of the season over Wunkar.

Simon Sumner will miss at least

one week with a groin injury, while the team is hopeful Troy Harrison will return.

For Brown’s Well, Digby McNeil is an inclusion, as is Andrew Schultz, Scott Hyde and Jake Singh with Kane Thiele not playing.

The Bombers got great use out of ruckman Matt Hampel against Wun-kar and that could be an advantage with Dave Grenfell and Tom Smith swapping in the ruck for Lyrup, giv-ing up several centimetres in height to Hampel.

Lions defender Brad Healy, who kept Jason Berger to one goal last round, is likely to attempt a shut down role on Geordie Franks.

Both teams have some promis-ing youngsters with Troy Braun and

Hamish Sanford performing well for the Bombers and Bradley Cook and Dylan Johnson for the Lions.

Brown’s Well coach Lance Degen-hardt said he hopes last week’s perfor-mance inspires the team.

“If we put in a repeat performance of the fi rst game against them, we’ve got every opportunity to beat them,” he said.

For Lyrup coach Shane Healy, being in the top four has given his charges confi dence.

“It’s defi nitely a plus to be in the top four and hopefully we can have a shot at some of the top teams,” he said.

This match should be very close with Lyrup breaking away in the last quarter for a four goal win.

Karoonda v Peake

SITTING comfortably in second place, Karoonda will not want to show any complacency against lowly ranked Peake.

The Magpies easily ac-counted for Murrayville last round, while the Saints were more than disappointing in a 96 point loss to Pinnaroo.

Luke Hocking has been

missed at Karoonda and his inclusion, along with Brodie Chinner adds more depth.

Unfortunately the team is likely to be without Mark Corrie.

Peake has really lacked scoring options with much reliance on Jeffrey Lines, who may seek the attention of Andrew Smithson.

The Lions need a win to keep in touch with the top four.

Injury has plagued Pat-

rick Casey’s season and the team’s best players con-sist of a defence including Bryce Jaensch, Rick Berling and Sam Patterson.

Gun Karoonda onballer Corey Knight could match-up on Travis Carling and Zakk Bullard could run with Lachlan Wilson in an exciting encounter.

It’s make or break for Peake, so it will be desper-ate but Karoonda is simply too strong across the fi eld.

Lameroo v Pinnaroo

AN unexpected mauling of Peake last round would have to give Pinnaroo some confi dence going into this encounter with Lameroo.

After losing seven matches in a row, the Supa Roos are now just one vic-tory away from fi nals con-tention.

On the other hand, Lameroo will be hoping to keep in touch with the top

two after a big loss to BDT.The Hawks are hopful

Billy McNeilly will return from injury, while Vaughan Noonan will spend more time on the sidelines.

The contest between the in-form Chad Nickolls and Kym Benham in the ruck should be one to watch.

David Philbey may get the job on Ryan Nickolls, who has been in good touch up forward.

Pinnaroo recruit Tyron Bennetts, who booted six goals last round, has been

a premier midfi elder with Andrew Purchase, Shaun Walker or Josh Keller likely to shut him down.

After 22 consecutive loss-es, it was a sigh of relief for Pinnaroo fans to fi nally get a win on the board last round.

The Supa Roos will lose Thomas Keogh who is re-turning to West Adelaide, while Athony Lippis is still trying to regain fi tness.

Pinnaroo will put up a good fi ght this round but Lameroo is the better of the two teams.

BDT v Murrayville

WITH fourth position on the line, Murrayville will be hop-ing to restrict the scoring when it travels to Coonalpyn against Border Downs Tintinara.

The Crows are without key forwards Ty McKenna and Kevin Kock but do not appear to be having too many problems scoring with Shane Binns booting

nine majors last round.Hayden Schilling has

been really impressive in the ruck and will compete with Murrayville’s Todd Jones.

Having Patrick Barrett back from West Adelaide at the moment adds to BDT’s midfi eld which already boasts Josh Keller, Josh and Clint Richardson, Jarran Crabb and Jarred Brock.

Despite not kicking high scores, Daniel Fry has been

a stand out up forward for Murrayville and Chris Greg-ory or Lee Slape will be next to him all day.

Michael Worsman may be forced to run with Barrett or Keller, while left footer Nick Rees could also feature.

Nick Noblett will need to stop Binns from scoring.

BDT are the powerhouse of Mallee football and it’s hard to see when the Crows will lose their next game

Moorook-Kingston v East Murray

TWO games behind a position in the top four, East Murray must beat Moorook-Kingston this round.

The injury ravaged Warriors, with the worst percentage in the competition, will be hoping to be competitive.

The Tigers have not won since round two and are desperate for a win.

Moorook-Kingston has a long injury list in a squad with lacking depth.

Jarrod Munn broke a collarbone and will be out indefi nitely.

On the positives, the Warriors expect several players to return this round including Todd Griffi n, Chris Cooper, Ash and Russell Boatswain, Blair Dillon and Nathan Klingberg.

The club is also hopeful of clear-ing two new players with Matthew Crisp, from Two Wells, likely to pro-vide a physical contest.

The team that loses this encoun-ter may kiss the season goodbye.

There is some promising match-ups with Matt Raison and Chris Rudiger in the ruck, Kenneth Dixon on Kenny Wright in the middle and

Brett Smith on Jason Berger.After recently booting nine

goals in a match, Joe Abdulla has now become an importnat part of the Moorook-Kingston defence.

Warrior coach Cecil Rigney said the club may also not have Rusell Boatswain much longer due to work commitments.

Rigney is hoping of turning the club’s fortunes around this weekend.

“If I can get a couple of bigger bodies in this week, we can match them up well,” he said.

East Murray should break a fi ve game losing streak to win easily.

BSR v Cobdogla

BLANCHETOWN/Swan Reach showed it is the team to beat this season after taking outright spot on the ladder with a win over Paringa.

However, the Redbacks face a young Cobdogla team that has shown it can perform against the better teams.

The Eagles will not get the services of Darell Tilbrook, while Danny Kassulke and Deane Mi-chell are out.

Luke Wegener is also in doubt after pulling up sore.

Dylan Clarke will return.Greg Sobey may be out with

a bruised shoulder for the Red-backs.

BSR has a prominent midfi eld with Zac Walker likely to play on Troy Cowland, Anthony Thomp-son on Dale Payne and Kyle Cole-man to curb the infl ucence of Max Martinson up forward.

BSR coach Peter Zadow said he will approach the game “cau-tiously”.

Cobdogla coach Brad Gillespie said it will be a tough task for his team.

“If we could push them and know we made them earn it, I’d be happy with that,” he said.

The Redbacks have been out-standing and should win this contest by more than six goals.

Wunkar v Paringa

WITH Shane Schulz back in the team, Wunkar can stretch Paringa’s defence this round.

The Bulldogs lost to Brown’s Well last weekend, while Paringa were defeated by BSR.

However, the inclusion of several players including Jack Bobilak and the transfer of Kyle Worsfold has boosted the Bulldog list.

Wunkar produces its run from half back with Jordan Hentschke, Daniel Evans and Harley Bennell all rotating in the back half.

Paringa needs service from Dean Hill who has had a quiet patch over the past month.

Unfortunately exciting forward Ryan White has bro-ken his leg but Nathan Rover and Wayne Priest, returning from Pinnaroo, will be back in the team.

Paringa coach Arrod Westley said his team needs to get back to kicking big scores.

“It’s a chance for us to re-ally turn things around from last week,” he said.

Paringa should win by 10 plus goals.

THE OTHER GAMES

Thursday June 21, 2012 – Riverland Weekly • 29

Waikerie v Berri

WITH just percentage separating the two teams, a win for either Waikerie or Berri will give it the advantage towards the double chance.

Waikerie has really slipped under the radar with a lot of focus on Barmera-Monash and Berri in recent weeks. This Magpie team is classy, skilful and can match it with the best in the competition.

Berri will need to bring its top game this weekend as it travels to Magpie territory.

Both teams have injury worries but the Demons will struggle to replace Kirk Harwood, who injured his knee on Saturday and Ryan Porter with an ankle problem.

The club is hopeful both are short term injuries.

David Hankin also reportedly pulled up sore from last round but we believe he will play.

Injury replacement for the Demons could come via in-form B graders Daniel Brown and Bradley Dolling.

It is understood forward Martin Barber will also return to the fi eld early next month following injury.

The Magpies lose Matt Butcher but Tom Eldridge and Daniel Smith

come into the team.Craig (elbow) and Matt (knee)

Underwood are both still sidelined.Ben Venning booted fi ve goals

last round and Berri will need to stop his strong presence on the ground and is likely to do so through reliable defender Steven Raeder.

Craig Miller has also been good in the ruck for the Magpies and he should be given a big challenge against recruit Aaron Gepp.

Adam Beauchamp, who has been quiet in recent weeks, may check Damian Stevens.

Berri coach Alby Brand admits he cannot cover the loss of Harwood and Porter but he said there is plenty of depth coming through the reserves.

“It’s pretty hard to cover the quality there,” he said.

“We really need to work hard on what we’ve got.

“As I said to the group after the game (against Barmera-Monash), this is what footy is all about, a test of character.”

Waikerie co-coach Craig Griffi ths said he will be wary of Berri, who need to bounce back.

“Like all other teams, we are looking to go into the bye with a win,” he said.

Berri should be competitive but Waikerie has too much talent and will record a fi ve goal victory.

Loxton North v Renmark

AS Renmark coach Brett Blackwell puts it, it is “do or die for the season” this round against Loxton North.

The Rovers are battling with just one win and a victory to the Panthers will give them a two game lead in the four.

Renmark retains Drew Gallard and potentially James Bentley, while Reece Glazbrook will not play.

Jamie Ferguson has been a shining light for Loxton North and he may be tagged by Brodie Redpath, who kept Waikerie’s Michael Bratton quiet last round.

Despite having a tall, strong marking forward line, Renmark is ranked last in attack.

“What powerful forwards are kicking goals this year?” Renmark coach Brett Blackwell said.

“It’s more the small forwards.

“We are improving but we are a very unclucky team.”

Renmark has shown enough to beat Loxton North and should do so by two goals.

Barmera-Monash v Loxton

AFTER a heartbreaking one point loss in the annual Proud Cup against Loxton North, Loxton will be hoping to be more than competitive against league leaders Barmera-Monash this weekend.

The Roos made easy work of Berri and affi rmed itself as the premiership favourite.

Loxton is likely to go into the match with a similar team to last round, while Barmera-Monash will see some familiar faces into this week’s team in Justin Bonney, Jake Schwertfeger and Robert Price.

Chris Bonney returns to West Adelaide.While on paper this match is a top ver-

sus bottom affair, the Tigers have strength across the ground to make this game com-petitive at the very least.

The midfi eld is fi nally settled with Brett Manuel, Wade Pritchard, Brock Birkin, Josh Norman and Michale Kirk rotating.

With a solid midfi eld, it means Jamahl Liddle has gone back into the forward line and Leigh Kruger and Nick Uren can play off half back.

Raph Liddle has been in good form and he is likely to play on Barmera-Monash’s in-

form forward Murray Middleton.Both are similar in height and quick

across the ground, so it should be an even contest.

Jake Smith has provided plenty of run for the Roos and should watch Kruger, while Jamahl Liddle will have his work cut out against Dillon Millard.

Barmera-Monash coach Lyndon Burns said he is content with top position but he is taking it week by week.

“We’re sitting all right but there is still a long way to go,” he said.

“I’ll be really letting the boys know that last time we played Loxton they had six or seven blokes out.

“We’ll be going in with respect for them.”

Burns said he may also decide to pro-mote some of the under 18s with Callum Buchecker and Danyl Drabsch playing well.

Loxton coach Mick Zerna said he is hap-py with the improvement of his team.

“They know they can play good footy,” he said.

“We’ve just got to go in thinking we can do our very best.”

The Roos are really in cruise mode but want to be careful not to lose momentum.

They will win this clash by 12 goals.

IN what could possibly be one of the most even B grade com-

petitions for some years, it ap-pears anything could happen.

Last round Loxton upset Loxton North and Berri knocked off Barmera-Monash.

Coming into round nine, Loxton trav-els Lakeside to take on Barmera-Monash in what will be an exciting match.

Bronte Manuel returned to football on Saturday and was superb in the reserves, al-though it is unknown how often he will be available.

Interestingly, coach Russ Charles has also donned the boots again.

Matt Benson has been a focal point up forward, while Grant Dahlitz always works hard.

The Roos have been led by captain Dave Whitebourne and the likes of Nick Kuhn (if available), Jordan Roissetter, Zak Butter-worth and Andrew Svensden.

The Roos should win this contest at home.

Berri has a huge task ahead taking on top side Waikerie.

The Magpies are yet to lose but the De-mons will be confi dent.

While Berri may lose a few players due to A grade injuries, David Centofanti, Rory Correll and Daniel Brown have been con-sistent performers.

Waikerie has so many ball winners in-cluding Ben Chidlow, Michael Beelitz and Steve Leibich to name a few and should win comfortably.

Bottom placed Renmark travels to Loxtom North where it will be looking to climb the ladder.

Paul Burne and Aaron Gill will lead the way for the Rovers, while the re-turn of Steve Inglis for the Panthers is a major factor.

We are picking Renmark to win - just.

CHILDREN from across the Riverland were given the chance to train with their idols on Tues-day as part of a country coaching clinic with the Adelaide Crows.

Taylor Walker, Bernie Vince, Will Young and Nick Joyce con-ducted an invite only session at the Berri Oval, interacting with the local students and passing on their football knowledge.

Joyce said the support from country towns is very impor-tant.

“Being a country boy myself, I know how much the kids and parents appreciate the players coming down and spending time teaching them and coach-ing them through some basic football skills,” he said.

“It’s great knowing that all the country towns are behind the Crows and supporting us and watching us on television

as much as possible and wear-ing the guernsey.”

The Riverland participants in the training session at Berri were all enthusiastic, according to Joyce.

“We hadn’t even started and already the kids were just diving round after the footy and hav-ing fun,” he said.

“There’s more guernseys here than I’ve seen in a lot of other country towns, so it’s fantastic to see the support out here.”

With the likes of Crows’ legends Mark Ricciuto and Tony Modra hailing from the Riverland, Joyce said it is some-thing that is spoken about.

“As we were driving up here I mentioned we were heading into ‘Roo territory’ so there was a bit of talk about past play-ers that have come from the Riverland,” Joyce said.

■ BARMERA Golf Club held its annual Open Championship last weekend with Will Swinstead, on his home course, producing rounds of 79, 83 (162) to win by four shots from Mick Healy with 81, 85 (166).

The handicap winner was Den-nis Hodgson on a countback from Barmera club mate Mark Evans (both on 151), while the B grade title was won by Neville McPher-son with 87, 85 (172) from Ron McBride on 91, 85 (176).

The C grade was won by Shane Smith with scores of 93, 95 (188) from Dallas Zeliff with 96, 96 (192).

Tracey McHugh carded rounds of 93, 97 (190) to win the ladies competition ahead of Julie Turner with 100, 93 (193).

The handicap winner was Lorraine Bond.

Meanwhile, at Waikerie last Thursday, Sandy Schultz, with 33 points, took out the grade one title, while grade two went to Elaine Kratopoulos, 38 points.

Kath Watkins scorched the number three and six holes for birdies.

Saturday’s stableford saw Derek Greenfi eld, with 39 points, successful in division one and Kym Lehmann, 38 points, in di-vision two.

During the last week at Berri, Neville Wait, with 38 points, won a Wednesday stableford by one shot from Alan Dand.

Derek Howes took the hon-ours on Saturday with 34 points and on Sunday Ryan Dale won with 36 points from Ron Nagy on 35.

Swinstead wins open

■ BERRI River Rangers reacted strongly to the untidy and wasteful out-ing against Renmark Ol-ympic to destroy defending champion Barmera Unit-ed 8-2 in Sunday’s round of A grade men’s soccer at Loxton.

The man to head the Rangers’ scoring with four in the net was the veteran that had masterminded that draw against Renmark, Paul Eleftheriadis, while other better players in-cluded Dale Harwood and Russell Frankel.

Kosta Zois and Nathan Hamood were best for Barmera.

In the other game, Renmark (Josh Tsorotiotis, James Wallace and Kyle Col-linson with two goals) won a competitive contest against Loxton (Stan Antonopoulos, Joe Perre) 3-1.

There were some excit-ing contests in other senior grades with Barmera and Renmark fi nishing 1-1 in men’s B grade and Barmera (Amalia Alvanos, Angelina Hambi) also 2-2 against Berri (Ebony Hoffmann,

Amanda Exarheas) in the women’s competition.

A quality contest in un-der 16 division resulted in Berri (Peter Karagiannis, Dylan Eleftheriadis) just edging out Barmera (Locky Morrison, Brock Van der Biezen) 6-4.

In the under 14 com-petition, Renmark No. 1 accounted for Renmark No. 2 2-1.

McKenzie Bristow, Mitchell Thomas and Kallan Head starred in the game.

This Sunday’s matches are being held at Barmera.

■ LOXTON North follows a 58-44 loss to Loxton in the annual Obst-Warneke Cup clash by running into undefeated top side Renmark tomorrow night in A1 netball.

North had stalwart duo Kylie Wooldridge and Karina Tschirpig back in its line-up to support its young teenage talent against Loxton but whichever way you look at it, running into Renmark, refreshed after a bye, will present a huge challenge.

Renmark coach Ann Noack was scratching her head early in the season trying to rebuild a 2011 premiership combination decimated by injury and unavailability but it now seems any concern she has

will surround how to fi t the talent available in the line-up.

Friday night’s other game is another meeting between teams from the top and bottom sections of the ladder with Loxton en-titled to travel to Barmera in a confi dent mood.

Loxton seems to have extended its group of con-tributors in recent outings with Eve Will and Amber and Skye George promi-nent after Hollie Bullock, Jackie Dahlitz and Alysha Proud showed the way early.

Barmera will therefore need everyone contribut-ing.

Cobie Drogemuller and Sheri Beech were outstand-ing for the second game

on end against Berri last week, so if Mackella Arm-fi eld, Sue Whitbourne, Meg Gillespie and company can really get into the act, this clash could be closer than positions on the table in-dicate.

Berri will go into the bye with its label as the greatest threat to the top two sides intact after a 45-34 win against Barmera.

It achieved the victory in the absence of young dynamo Ellee Eleftheriadis but with Tegan Moldovan, Nicole Hall and Taylee Howard continuing their consistent form of 2012.

In last weekend’s Inde-pendent competition, the closest A grade game saw Brown’s Well, with Jayne Brown and Hayley Reich-

stein starring, defeat Wun-kar which was best served by Wendy Owen and Jo Schutz, 40-35.

BSR, with Jen Steer and Jo Schmidt named best, matched the efforts of its dominant football side by defeating Paringa 46-32, while Ramco (Jess Walding, Ainsley Irving) accounted for Cobdogla (Hayley Kruger, Chantelle Sharkey) 35-21.

In B grade, Brown’s Well completed a winning dou-ble against Wunkar, 59-22, with Natasha Boxall and Emily Nitschke and Lauren Brown and Jess Hucks the respective best players for each team, while Paringa won against BSR (Abbey Davies, Lucy Martinson) 34-26.

■ THE Riverland Boxing and Fitness Club had boxers return to the ring at a tournament at West Adelaide Football Club last weekend after a long layoff.

Speaking to manager/head coach Phillip Goodes on Monday morning, he said that his team was just return-ing for training but three members had been anxious for fi ghts and had entered in this 20 bout tournament, the third of the season, in front of a capacity crowd of some 400 people.

Ryan Goodes, 16, scored a good win on points 10-3 against senior fi ghter Kevin Taylor, of Adelaide, a former state title holder who is on the comeback trail, in a light welter weight contest.

“This was a good fi rst up win,” Phillip said.

“Ryan had only had minimum training and one spar but was anxious for the fi ght after about six months out of the ring.”

Ryan is currently at around 62 kilo-grams but is working towards 60 kilo-grams as Phillip pursues arrangements to have the promising youngster join a team from interstate for a trip to Eng-

land later in the year where he would gain three international bouts.

The other boxer from the Loxton Gym to engage in a competitive fi ght was in fact a backpacker from France.

Remi Droux has been attending the gym on and off for the past six months or so but recently advised Goodes that before he returned home later in 2012 he was keen for some actual bouts.

“Remi must have been in a bit of a hurry,” Phillip said. “Both he and his opponent, Adelaide’s Ashley Agars, were on debut but Remi fi nished the middleweight clash in 40 seconds.

“However, he did have his own personal cheer squad.

“A busload from the Kingston-On-Murray backpackers travelled down to support him and boy were they vocal.”

Barossa’s Uschi Artym, who con-templated retirement at one stage, was the other boxer to appear and took part in an excellent exhibition match to open the program against Victorian Samantha Rogers.

There can be no doubt about Uschi’s enthusiasm for the sport be-

cause she climbed out of the ring and immediately turned her attention to judging.

Phillip Goodes is set for a very busy season with his commitment to the Australian team at the London Olympics but he is still enthusiastic about the local scene with Mathew and Bradley Wilson and the Bobbin brothers from Mildura also still listed on the boxing team and expected to train shortly.

Phillip is also high in his praise for the efforts of Tammy Hansen who ar-rived at the Boxing and Fitness Centre about six months ago and is doing an excellent job in assisting with the coaching.

“With my workload and other commitments, Tammy’s appearance has been very welcome,” he said.

“Not only is she handling the training and exercise sessions but a number of ladies have been interested in using her for general fi tness reasons as well.”

For further enquiries telephone Phillip on 0419833369.

■ THE Waikerie Hockey Club made all opposition A grade teams sit up and take notice when it scored two surprising victories over Renmark at Glassey Park last Friday night.

Surprising in the men’s clash because of the size of the win, 7-1, and in the women’s because of the clinical way Waikerie won 2-0 against hot favourite Renmark for the fi rst time in something like six seasons.

With all of this weekend’s matches at Glassey Park, the Waikerie men will go into the early 5pm game confi dent against Berri on Saturday with players like Jason Redemski, Brenton Kroehn, young Caleb Catford and Shaun Pick in superb form.

Former local and Premier

League player Patrick Sutherland also returned to boost the side against Renmark.

At 6.30pm the Waikerie wom-en, now boasting an impressive depth of talent headed by Kris-ten Pick, Carlye Waye and Amelia Harkness, should make it another winning double.

Last Saturday against Loxton, Berri lost both matches but had Jason Bowers, Scott Moldovan and Dylan Couzner in the men’s game keeping the 2011 premier honest for a 2-0 scoreline. Jane Hustley, Emma Burge, Sarah Oldfi eld and Kristen Hibberd again ensured the women’s team also re-mained competitive despite going down 5-0.

For Renmark, this Friday night

against Loxton (the men at 7pm and women at 8.30pm) will be very much about righting the ship and regaining some confi dence.

The men’s team badly missed new playing coach Brett Stokes last week as it really lacks senior mem-bers and is relying heavily on the many promising juniors coming through the system.

I asked Brett about his reported absence through injury.

“No that was not the case,” he replied. “Just before the game I rea-lised that I had 17 players to pick from so I decided to stay on the sidelines and give the youngsters the chance to play.

“Remember I was appointed by Renmark to look to the future with sustainability and structure the aim

rather than instant success and Fri-day night was part of that policy.

“It is about the players learning and I am sure they benefi tted from the experience of playing against a quality Waikerie side.”

Stokes is also resisting the temptation to bring players from Adelaide to compliment his young squad. “I am sure that with my contacts I could get three or four good players to travel up butthat is not part of the strategy,” he said.

On the other hand, the Loxton men were without some of their big guns last week and it is defi nitely one of the teams effected week to week by player availability.

However players like Ty Othams, Chris Allister and Jeremy Hansen

stepped up against Berri to illustrate the depth of talent in the line-up.

In the women’s match, Loxton has a host of contributors including Steph Baird, Trish Gillard, Tara Al-lister, Louise Smith, Eloise Hampel, Rachel Finnigan and Billie Jo Ham-merstein in top form.

Renmark went down to Waikerie in one of the biggest upsets of the season so far and it was a credit to the winning side for the manner it held off a team boasting players like Danielle Weeks, Juliet Mallinson, Sally Giles, Ally Palat, Lauren Scott and Bec Keynes.

Last weekend’s form would sug-gest Loxton will win but of course that prediction would be ignoring the traditional rivalry between the two teams.

Waikerie puts teams on notice with upset victories

■ BROWSING for some detail on the annual Waikerie-Riverland Off Road Association’s Hi-tech Oils Riverland 300 to be held on the weekend of June 30 to July 1, the most descriptive word I found was 'great'.

To quote, "great event, great spectator viewing, great food, lots of great camping room and great facilities”.

It is no surprise then that the event, which is expected to involve up to 80 vehicles across the vari-ous classes this year, draws huge crowds.

But on this occasion there will obviously be an added attraction.

Word has it that an in-creased number of vehicles will enter the Extreme 2WD

class to have a crack at our new 'King Of The Desert', recent Finke Desert race winner Renmark’s Brad Gallard.

On seven occasions, Gallard with his USA Gei-ser Bros Trophy Truck Beast could have been deemed the hunter as he chased the elusive crown but now he has become the hunted.

Already 2007 Austra-lian champions Bernard

and Robert Gwynne and current title holder Chris Western are said to be pre-paring to head towards this event at Murbko, 17 kilo-metres west of Waikerie.

John Schultz is also likely to be there and ques-tions are being asked about Geoff Roe, Greg Gartner and others.

And there are other classes as well in which we will have a lot of local

interest with drivers like Francombe, Schiller, Fos-ter, Copeland and Carl and Aaron Haby likely to line up.

Again in 2012, organis-ers of the weekend will continue to bring the cars to the people with scruti-neering and a display at the Waikerie Oval on the Fri-day night from 4 to 8 pm.

On Saturday, the pro-logue over a six kilometre course will start at 12.30pm followed by promotional rides and a hot lap from 3pm and a Top Ten Shoot Out at 3.30pm.

Sunday’s main event, which incorporates SAOR-RA’s round three of its championships and round four of the Multi Club se-ries, starts at 9am over a a 75 kilometre course.

■ FOLLOWING round three of the State Motocross champi-onships held at Crystal Brook last weekend, Loxton’s Tyler Lange is sitting in second posi-tion outright, 18 points behind the leader in the 250cc Junior class.

Tyler won the class at Crys-tal Brook and is now working towards overtaking the leader in the fi nal round of the com-petition at Murray Bridge on Saturday and Sunday, August 4 and 5.

In the meantime, he is cur-rently the class leader on the Eyre Peninsula circuit and will attend meetings at both Kimba and Port Lincoln prior to the Murray Bridge event.

A number of Riverland club members competed at Crystal Brook with other prominent performances including Coby Rollbusch fi nishing third in

85/150cc Big Wheel and Jack Stauton fi nishing fourth in 65cc class.

It is sometimes easy to over-look the effort some of these youngsters put into their cho-sen sport.

For example, apart from practising with his bike at every opportunity, Tyler regularly at-tends the Phillip Goodes Gym at Loxton to work on his gen-eral fi tness.

Big enduro expected

■ WRONG WAY: A competitor found the Waikerie Enduro track quite challenging during last year’s event.

Lange sits second

■ QUICK: Local Jack Staunton put in a good effort in Crystall Brook.

■ FOLLOWING a successful inau-gural event in 2011, plans for the Adelaide Triathlon Club’s second Murray Man event to be held at Bar-mera’s Lake Bonney on Sunday No-vember 4 are on target, according to club president Andrew Bartlett.

Speaking to him earlier this week, Bartlett said “the event is now the Berri Resort Hotel Murray Man and fi ve months out from the day we already have some 200 entries”.

“So with arrangements with the council and local organisations and volunteers coming along nicely it is all looking good.

“A feature of arranging an event such as this is the co-operation and support we receive from the local

community.”The Murray Man on the Sunday

involves a two kilometre swim, 80 kilometre bike ride and 20 kilome-tre run, while there is also a half distance event of 1km, 40km and 20km stages.

But that will be only a part of a full weekend of activities at the lake.

On Saturday morning, a work-shop is proposed for junior and novice participants and in the af-ternoon, a short course triathlon is planned. Bartlett said that “we have a number of various groups involved in helping to run the weekend but would also welcome any families or individuals as vol-unteers as there is an abundance of

things we can put them to.”Further details can be found on

www.murrayman.com.au.Talking to Bartlett, he indicated

that a number of things were still going on behind the scenes that could see the Murray Man increase in profi le and boost the benefi ts to the Riverland and to the sport in general. Meanwhile, a number of Riverland athletes have been in the news in recent weeks.

Firstly at the annual Barossa Half Marathon, Barmera’s Peter Weston made his 19th appearance in the event only shortly after recu-perating from major surgery.

At the same time, Renmark’s Robyn Milich was extremely satis-

fi ed to complete her fi rst fi ve kilo-metre fun run but experienced tri-athlete Ruth Strout did not fare so well when she strained a calf muscle and was forced to take a few weeks off to recover.

“I probably dodged a bullet,” she said. “At fi rst I thought I had suf-fered a tear.”

Announcements at the Triathlon SA Presentation Night in Adelaide that followed would have cheered Strout up a bit though because she took out the State Aquathon, State Olympic Distance and State Series awards for her age group.

Another to be acknowledged at the function was promising young Loxton athlete Jacob Otto who re-

ceived the junior awards for the Sprint Distance and State Series Elite categories.

More recently Jacob won the ‘Mallee 12’, a twelve Kilometre run against a strong fi eld at Mildura but word has it that when it comes to fam-ily profi le right now he may well be in the shadow of his dad, Malcolm.

Nothing to do with athletics I am told but apparently Otto senior has donned a knights helmet to fea-ture in a television advertisement that promotes a variety of potato.

Jacob may soon get an opportu-nity to fi ght back however as there is a suggestion that he may be part of the marketing campaign for the Murray Man event.

COMING COMING HOME?HOME?

Something Something to Crow to Crow

aboutaboutPopular Roos player may returnBy BRAD PERRY

BARMERA-Monash may be bol-stered by the return of West Ad-elaide player Chris Bonney for the rest of the 2012 season.

The talented footballer has been starved of opportu-nities at the top level at West Adelaide and is considering returning home.

Bonney played for the Roos in the Fisher Cup last weekend and was awarded best-on-ground.

Barmera-Monash coach Lyn-don Burns believes that if Bon-

ney does not get a chance at the top senior level within the next fortnight, he may return to Barmera-Monash.

“He’s still making up his mind on what he wants to do,” Burns said.

If Bonney follows in the same footsteps as Berri’s David Hankin, who returned from West Adelaide to the Demons several games into the Riverland Foot-ball League season, it will be a major boost for the top of the ladder Roos.

“He’s very versatile for us,” Burns said.
