REPORT SUPPORTREPORT SUPPORTScientists explain 40 per cent cut callMUTUAL understanding best sums up the meeting between irrigators, community leaders; and the Went-worth Group of Concerned Scientists (WGCS) on Tuesday in Berri.

Recently maligned by growers across the basin after suggesting a 39 per cent cut in irrigation water use along the system in the Sustainable Diversions in the Murray-Darling Basin report, the group, if anything,

gained some support from the River-landers present.

WGCS environmental engineer and water program manager Tim Stubbs said the report by no means

spells the end for the region.“When you put the amount of

water back into the environment that we’re suggesting in this report, you’re still going to have 7500 gigalitres for irrigation,” he said.

“What we do need is the best ir-rigators using that 7500 gigalitres to grow the food we need.”

How will we be rewarded?

THE Wentworth Group of Scientists’ call for 4400 gigalitres, or 39 per cent of ir-rigator allocations, to be held back cer-tainly raised the hackles of many people in the Murray Darling Basin.

Berrigan Mayor John Bruce described the group as “mad scientists”, while lo-cal irrigators also derided the call.

However, if Tuesday’s meeting be-tween locals and a Wentworth Group representative was anything to go by, some locals are a little more receptive to the group’s ideas.

In fact, the civil nature of the meeting was not what would have been expected given the previous ructions.

While the group’s idea may have some merit, it offers little suggestion as to how our irrigators can make sure that, as the most effi cient in the country, they are rewarded for their foresight.

Between the Wentworth Group and the Federal Government, we have seen no indication of how irrigators in less effi cient areas are going to be made to change their ways.

If we could see some changes, or sac-rifi ces, made elsewhere, maybe we would be even more receptive to discussions about such cuts.

By LES PEARSON

THE Federal Govern-ment’s Water for the Fu-ture program has come under close scrutiny in a report released by the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists.

Wentworth Group water engineer and wa-ter program manager Tim Stubbs discussed the group’s report Sus-tainable Diversions in the Murray Darling Basin, released last month, which suggested a 39 per cent cut in irrigation water use in the region.

With cuts outlined for all irrigation areas in the basin, a further 3200 gigalitres of sustainable diversions water would go back into the system on top of the 1200 giga-litres already obtained by State and Federal Governments.

While many local ir-rigators were opposed to the group’s fi ndings in the report, most agreed that some form of ac-tion needs to be taken, and soon.

Mr Stubbs put par-ticular emphasis on changes needed to the Federal Government’s Water for the Future in-tiative, worth nearly $9 billion.

“We see that money is being spent, yet we still don’t know how much water will be in the system and where,” he said.

The report took two years to compile, lead-ing to the Wentworth Group’s outlook.

“If we’ve got to put water back to the envi-

ronment, let’s take that from the least produc-tive use,” Mr Stubbs said.

One criticism of the report is that it only uses one year’s worth of crop data but Mr Stubbs said that fact is irrelevant.

“The reason why we did this work was not to use exact numbers but to get a feel for the size of the reductions that are going to be felt and where they will be felt,” he said.

Mr Stubbs said the group was well aware of the social implications of such a cut.

“It’s not just going to hit the irrigators, it’s go-ing to hit everyone in the community,” he said.

The report suggests several options for the Water for the Future funds, currently being used in various projects around the basin.

“At the moment, that money is promised here, there and everywhere,” Mr Stubbs said.

One is to use the

money to buy back 3200 gigalitres of water at the cost of lost profi t to irrigators as a form of compensation.

The total estimated cost of this idea would be about $2.7 billion, leaving, hypothetically, about $5 billion left to help communities make a transition into a more viable industry.

The other option is to buy back the water by the cheapest means possible, costing about

$8.5 billion and leaving about $400 million for investment in water ef-fi ciency projects.

Both options, ac-cording to the Went-worth Group’s report, hit the desired fi gure of 4400 gigalitre target for sustainable diver-sions, something the current Water for the Future program won’t do.

“We’re just try-ing to put out the idea that we need to do things differently to what we are.”

■ From Page 1

“If you do a willing sellers approach, hope-fully those guys will be in those areas that aren’t as effi cient with the water as you guys.”

An issue raised was the price the government will offer to attract willing sellers to sell their water for sustainable diversions to the environment.

“If you put the SDLs out and say we’ve got this much money and we need this much wa-ter, people can work out a realistic price for them-selves,” Mr Stubbs said.

He said action is needed soon.

“I’m concerned the money won’t be there af-ter the election, so we’re look-ing at a pretty tight time-frame.”

Mr Stubbs said he received several angry phone calls when the group’s report was initially re-leased, which all eventu-ally turned to discussion about the confusion amongst growers feel in regards to the Federal Government’s Water for the Future program.

“To me, there’s some-thing seriously wrong if the people who, in theory, this money is be-ing invested to help have a future, are ringing and saying, ‘I really don’t un-derstand how this is help-ing me’,” he said.

Irrigators at the meet-ing were also angered by government spending helping New South Wales and Victorian growers be-come more effi cient when South Australian growers have already invested in their own effi ciency years before with their own money and are still get-

ting punished equally, if not more.

“I 100 per cent agree and I think South Austra-lian irrigators need to be standing up and saying that more strongly,” Mr Stubbs said.

“You’ve paid for the infrastructure.

“I don’t know how you can sit there and ac-cept that someone else is going to get paid a whole heap of money to do something you paid for yourself.”

Murray Darling As-sociation general man-ager Ray Najar, who also sits on the Water for the Future Board, alleviated concerns of a further 39 per cent cut on top of cur-rent cuts in place.

“What this means is because your block is sit-ting on the Murray, that fi gure is coming off of where the major catch-ment is that feeds you,” he said.

“You’ve already had a 20 per cent cut here.

“The government is not going to be that stu-pid to come up to you and say ‘we’re going to take 39 per cent of your water licence off you,’ that is not going to happen.”

Former Riverland Futures Taskforce direc-tor Peter Ackland also pointed out that to be sustainable, a transition to other crop types might be needed as well.

“If we can’t sell it, (ex-isting crops we’re no bet-ter off than where we are now,” he said.

“As a community, if we don’t do something, it will be done to us.”

SOME Riverland cancer pa-tients are waiting “extraordi-narily” long periods of times to receive treatment, accord-ing to a local doctor.

Riverland Division of General Practice chair Doc-tor Grant Baker said while the State Government will in-crease cancer services as part of the $45 million Riverland Regional Hospital upgrade, patients are currently still waiting too long for treat-ment.

“I had a patient the other day that had to wait what I felt was an extraordinary long amount of time,” he said.

“There is some ‘chemo’ that is given in Adelaide that we could quite easily give here, which would have the patient closer to their fam-ily and not having to travel if they are feeling unwell because of the cancer or be-cause of the chemotherapy,” he said.

“We just need to work

closer with the oncolo-gists and see if we can get more visiting oncology services.”

A Riverland cancer suf-ferer, who wished to remain anonymous, said he has had to wait more than six months to receive special treatment in Adelaide.

“What is the point of hav-ing a queue of people with cancer?” he asked.

Mr Baker said Adelaide hospitals do prioritise Riverland cancer patients where possible.

“They try and prioritise them and they understand the impact of stress on the

person waiting around and also the potential for the cancer to grow or spread,” he said.

For many Riverlanders, the State Government pa-perwork and rebates for the Patient Assisted Transport Scheme are also a sore point.

“That scheme seems quite bureaucratic and very red tape orientated,” Mr Baker said.

“From a GP’s viewpoint, there are lots of forms to fi ll out for little return for the pa-tients.”

According to the Country Health SA website, patients receive a reimbursement al-lowance of 16 cents per kilo-metre if driving a private car for treatment and up to $30 per night authorised accom-modation.

“I would like to see a few of the pollies stay in a $30 a night accommo-dation...I don’t think you would fi nd (a suitable) one,” Mr Baker said.

Extraordinary wait for cancer patients

THE Berri Town Beauti-fi cation Committee has likened the plain rear of the newly installed town entrance signs to the back of a drive-in theatre screen and is concerned they could be a target for graffi ti attacks.

At a recent meeting, the committee proposed that a “Farewell” logo be placed

on the back of the signs be-cause currently the rear of the signs are too bland.

Berri has already experi-enced graffi ti on the recently redeveloped riverfront per-gola and the beautifi cation committee believes the back of the entrance signs are like a blank canvas for graffi ti vandals.

“It is just a big white large frame from the back,” Mrs Foley said.

Committee chair Robin Foley said there are a num-ber of other things that need to be done for the signs to be looking their best.

“They (the committee) would like to see some kind of neatening, ground cover or a little bit of minor land-scaping,” she said.

“What they would also like is a solar panel so you can see it at night.”

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

In early May, my stolen laptop reappeared at Cash Converters in Mildura, as I had given them the se-rial number in March, days after leav-ing Renmark.

A person was arrested by Mildura police and my laptop has now been returned (nothing else though).

Mildura police spoke to Renmark police, as the person was from Paringa.

Two weeks later the Rapleys were burgled.

We enjoyed our time in Renmark and have tried not to let the theft ruin our memories of a great town, with very good and friendly people.

Clarifi cationTHE Central District Football Club is extremely appreciative of the co-operation of the Berri Football Club with regard to allowing player Ja-son Sutherland play with our club at SANFL level.

Subject to speculation, both clubs have mutually agreed on the avail-ability of Jason to our club.

The Berri Football Club is very

supportive of players being given the opportunity to compete at a higher level and has provided us with dates which Jason is available to play.

We are fully aware that 2010 is an important milestone for the Berri Football Club, being their centenary year, and Berri supporters can be as-sured that Jason will be competing in their fi nals campaign.

Whilst Jason has relished the op-portunity to play SANFL league foot-ball, he is aware of his responsibili-ties to the Berri Football Club and is looking forward to playing his part in assisting the Berri Demons achieve success this year.

The Central District Football Club again would like to thank all at Berri Football Club for their unselfi shness and their professional approach in regard to Jason’s career and we trust that all parties will benefi t from these actions this season.

Kris Grant,CDFC CEO.

SDL progress

As a member of the group of con-cerned irrigators and community members reviewing the Sustainable Diversion Limits process, I thought it timely and appropriate to advise the river users of progress on this matter so far.

The group is concerned that eq-uity of the shared resource break-up may be lost without the environment being challenged under the same guidelines.

Whilst I strongly support the need for a healthy river system, I also believe government initiatives should be able to recover a sizeable amount of water from irrigators who either wish to exit their industry, or from those who wish to sell all, or part, of their water allocation to provide wa-ter for the environment.

This would leave those irrigators wishing to stay in the food produc-tion and other irrigation industries to have some real certainty for their fu-ture rather than the confusion there is at present.

As South Australian irrigators have already shown effi ciency over the years, limited savings would be achieved by infrastructure upgrad-ing.

The large sums of money that have been allocated for the upgrade effi ciency of irrigation systems by the Federal Government will by no means be able to provide the amount of buy-back water needed for the en-vironment.

The group questions whether those funds should be reallocated to enhance the water buy-back scheme which has had some success and also counts towards the Sustainable Di-version Limit targets.

The impact of the current pro-grams is clearly visible throughout the South Australian river irrigation area and must be addressed before the damage is irreversible to our communities.

THE staid reputation of the Country Women’s Associa-tion is getting a considerable makeover in the Riverland, with several new generations of ladies making their mark on the organisation.

Think of the CWA and an outsider’s impression is that the branches in each Riverland town are a group of grey haired, ‘old’ ladies indulging in their favourite pasttimes of making scones, crocheting and fl ower arranging.

However, the rganisation is far more than that, acting as a peak lobby group for women and children across Australia.

Here in the Riverland, membership of the group had become stagnant in recent de-cades and in many cases num-bers were beginning to make some clubs hard to sustain.

Cultural changes, includ-ing the growing number of women entering the workforce, much of the reason behind the declining membership locally.

All that seems set to change though.

At Loxton, three young mothers have recently joined that town’s CWA branch, much to the delight of their older fel-low members, while a yet to be named Riverland group, meet-ing at night, has been formed.

Claire Dalzell is among the Loxton women to have joined the organisation, doing so after learning of the signifi cant com-munity work that it does.

“The CWA gave us some drought assistance and I thought it would be nice to be supportive,” Claire said.

“They do a lot more than people think.”

The arrival of Claire, along with her friends Crystal Green-wood and Tully Bates, at the Loxton CWA, initially raised a few eyebrows.

However, the trio said they have been embraced whole-heartedly since and would recommend other women to become involved in the group, particularly if they are not involved in sport.

“It’s somewhere to go and meet people and be involved in the community,” Claire said.

Crystal said her new inter-est had been eye opening, learning much off the other members of the group.

“We want to learn from them and also help them with their campaigns,” she said.

Since becoming involved, the group has taken to organising events and training for young mothers, which is in many ways a return to the roots of the organisation.

Formed in 1922, the CWA has long been an advocate to improv-ing conditions for women and children.

In many ways, the revival of interest among the younger women is taking the local branches back to their roots, when young women involved in the pioneering of our communi-ties joined the group in order

to meet people and enjoy good company.

Maria Patterson, who has been involved in the develop-ment of the yet to be named Riverland branch, said it is im-portant the tradition and history of the CWA be maintained.

“As a group of women, we decided that we wanted to do something in the community but we wanted an organisation to do it through,” Maria said.

“The CWA has been a very vocal organisation on social issues for a very long time.

“It’s quite a power-ful lobby and action group.”

The Riverland branch meets at 6.30pm for a din-ner meeting once a month on the second Wednesday of every month.

The group’s fi rst offi cial meeting saw 11 women attending, with a number of oth-ers committing to its development.

Among them were a wide cultural cross section, with mem-bers of the Indian,

Greek and Italian communities involved.

Maria said the key social issues the new group will be pursuing over the next year are to support growers in our region and to address local poverty.

BERRI man Roger Dolling, a Riverland resident for all of his life, is leaving the re-gion next month to take up employment in Adelaide, leaving behind a lifetime of memories.

Roger will take up the position of se-nior technical offi cer at Zen Technologies (Power and Energy), a company based in Norwood.

After spending so much time in the region, Roger said he would miss many wonderful things that have made living here so enjoyable.

“Probably every-thing from the river to the outdoors will be missed and the lo-cal footy as well.

A strong support-er of the Berri Foot-ball Club, Roger has been involved with the club for over 26 years, with the high-

light being the 2002 premiership when he was president of the club.

He was also in-volved with Auskick and acted as under 13 and 15 team manager at different times.

Roger, together with wife Kerry, has raised three children in the Riverland, Jai-mie and Ryan, who are now living in Ad-elaide, and Bradley.

Roger believes his move to Adelaide will provide many fresh lifestyle and working challenges.

“It’ll be a chal-lenge basically to live in the city after I’ve lived in the country for so long.

“I will be senior technical offi cer and that will include be-ing in charge of a technical team and training people,” he said.

Mr Dolling’s busi-ness Berri Auto Elec-trical is up for sale.

IT’S that time of year again when Relay for Life teams begin ramping up their fun-draising activities in prepara-tion for the sixth relay event on October 9 and 10 at the Berri Oval.

Riverland Relay for Life organising committee chair-person Robin Foley said it should be another huge event, with total funds raised over the past fi ve years near-ing $500,000 for the Cancer Council.

“We’ve got not quite $300,000 since I’ve been involved so it’s probably up to at least nearly $500,000,” she said.

So far, eight teams have registered, with about 20 taking part in 2009.

“We’re well on the way to having as many as last year,” Mrs Foley said.

She said teams can regis-

ter right up to a week before the event but the sooner the better so teams can get their fundraising under way.

Mrs Foley said the relay brings out the best in a lot of people.

“Teams are very com-mitted to it and they fi nd all kinds of interesting ways to raise money,” she said.

Such ideas include the release of a recipe book, auctions, selling bingo tick-ets, holding bingo nights, hosting quiz nights and even preparing and serving morning tea at various fac-tories once a week.

On the weekend, teams show their true colours with clever themes and costumes for the event.

“People really get into that,” Mrs Foley said.

“The staggering part is just how many candles are lit that night and the mes-sages from so many people.

“It’s not just age either, it’s a lot of young ones too.”

She said it is a great event to be part of.

“It’s very rewarding to see so many people so com-mitted,” Mrs Foley said.

“It’s also an amazingly easy event to raise money for because people are so gener-ous towards the cause.

“Almost everything is donated and donated so willingly and that’s a fabu-lous part about it too.”

The relay is family friendly, many camping the night out on the oval.

“It can also be a bond-ing thing for people to get to know each other in a dif-ferent format from how they interact from day to day con-tact,” Mrs Foley said.

Registrations can be made by calling the Cancer Council on 1300 656 585 or visiting the website www.re-layforlife.org.au.

SOLAHART has moved to reassure South Austral-ian home-owners that the Federal Government’s solar hot water rebate is still available under the new Renewable Energy Bonus Scheme, despite the home insulation program being put on hold.

Homeowners replacing an electric hot water system with a solar water heater will receive a $1000 Federal Government rebate under the new scheme.

Solahart national manager Stephen Cranch said Solahart is pleased the Federal Government is continuing its commitment to assisting homeowners to make the switch to sustain-able energy.

“Right now, South Australian homeowners can still get $1000 back through

the Federal Government scheme when replacing an electric storage water heater with an environmentally-friendly solar water heater,” Mr Cranch said.

This rebate is on top of the Renewable Energy Certifi cates which are cur-rently worth over $900 for a typical Solahart 300 litre system.”

Mr Cranch said that in addition to rising energy prices and concerns about the environment, the gen-erous government rebates are another key reason many families are making the switch sooner rather than later.

“A Solahart solar water heater can reduce your water heating energy use by up to 50 to 70 per cent by harnessing Australia’s abundant sun,” Mr Cranch

said. “Switching to solar has

long-term, as well as im-mediate environmental and fi nancial benefi ts.”

About Solahart: SOLAHART has been man-ufacturing solar hot water systems in Australia since 1953 and has sold over 1 million systems worldwide.

Solahart has installed systems in places as diverse and famous as Antarc-tica, the Mount Everest base camp and Nelson Mandela’s private home in Houghton, South Africa.

Systems are available to suit all climates and geographic locations.

Solahart’s interest-free payment options enable consumers to pay off their Solahart hot water system over 12 months.

Thursday July 15, 2010 – Riverland Weekly • 7

By LES PEARSON

AN online petition has been launched in the on-going campaign for truth in food and beverage labelling.

The petition at www.truthinlabelling.com.au is strongly supported by In-dependent Senator Nick Xenophon, who told the Riverland Weekly if people get behind the cause, it will strengthen his case for labelling legislation to be introduced.

“This online petition is just one way for consumers to send a message in num-bers to our regulators,” Sen Xenophon said.

“The website has had thousands of hits already from Australians calling for

greater truth in labelling.“I plan to table this pe-

tition in the Senate when Parliament resumes to show my colleagues just how strong the public call for change to labelling laws is and urge them to support these Bills.”

Sen Xenophon joined the fi ght for transparency on food labels over 12 months ago.

He said his focus on the issue is as strong as ever.

“I think the resolve is only growing,” Sen Xeno-phon said.

“Consumers are send-ing a loud and clear mes-sage that our labelling laws need to be changed.

Citrus grower Ron Gray has been pushing his con-cerns for misleading juice labelling for years, Sen Xenophon taking up the cause with gusto.

“It’s misleading that juice can be called ‘fresh’ when it’s actually two years old and it’s lying to disguise ‘palm oil’ as ‘vegetable oil’ on the list of ingredients,” Sen Xenophon said.

“It’s harming our lo-cal producers and deceiv-ing customers to label a product as ‘made in Aus-tralia’ when in fact, with some products, virtually only the packaging was produced here.”

RETIRED Murray Darling Associa-tion Region 5 (MDA) chair Les Hill is calling on the Riverland to offer up vacant blocks of land at a cheap-er price in a bid to attract growers from outside the area.

At last month’s MDA meeting, Mr Hill said growers and horticul-tural experts raised questions as to what the region is doing to attract growers in Virginia who are being pushed out due to urban expan-sion.

“We should be encouraging them to come to the Riverland and take up these empty blocks,” he said.

“We should be offering this land to them.

“They (local grow-ers) are all in favour of it, bring more in and take up these vacant blocks.”

Virginia growers are known for their diversifi cation, pro-ducing a range of vegetables including cabbages, caulifl owers and carrots and Mr Hill said it is the change in production the region needs.

According to Mr Hill, some of the Virginian growers are moving to Mount Gambier instead of the

Riverland.“The land is being

overridden by houses and they have to go somewhere else,” he said.

“I reckon this is the ideal place (for them to come), we have got the best in-frastructure in the world.

“I think it will cre-ate employment here.”

While it is understood the Riverland Futures Taskforce has been in contact with Virginia grow-ers, Mr Hill said something must be done before the near metropolitan

growers move to Mount Gambier.Sunland Irrigation Trust chair-

man Mark Doecke said he has spo-ken to the Riverland Futures Task-force about attracting the Virginia growers to the region.

“We are virtually the next clos-est spot to grow anything,” he said.

“It is a good option, a lot closer to Adelaide than Mount Gambier.

“They (the Virginian growers) can do their numbers, if it works, it works but it will.”

Loxton’s Mark Ward has re-placed Mr Hill as chair of the Mur-ray Darling Basin Association Re-gion 5 group.

THE Motor Trade Association of South Australia is leading the country with the development of a new Certifi cate III training course in heavy vehicle trailer maintenance and repair.

Responding to industry demand, the MTA, through its Group Training Scheme, has an-nounced the introduction of two exciting apprenticeship courses taking the total number of courses delivered by MTA-GTS to 20.

The newest courses on offer are:■ Certifi cate III - heavy vehicle

diesel mechanics;■ Certifi cate III - automotive

specialist trailer technician (heavy);

The course topics include oxy,

electric, MIG and TIG welding procedures; service and repair suspension; service and repair braking systems; overhaul air braking systems/components; assemble and fi t braking systems/components; general trailer main-tenance, service and repair trailers (heavy); automotive electrical maintenance and repairs.

The MTA had the new Certifi -cate III Trailer course approved under the AUR-05 training pack-age late last year.

“This is a most exciting initiative for the MTA-GTS – we provide apprentices with skills for a changing industry, an industry where there are rapid advances in the use of technology,” MTA executive director John Chapman

said.“The MTA-GTS apprentice-

ship courses meet the immediate needs of the heavy vehicle sector of our industry and also provide additional opportunities for post-trade training as well as training in the repair and maintenance of agricultural and heavy machinery.”

Employed under Contracts of Training, apprentices in the new courses will undertake off-the-job training in the $2.7 million brand new purpose-built automotive workshops situated at Royal Park.

Specialised features of this $2.7 million facility include:■ a 15 metre ventilated truck pit

equipped with a fully ducted ventilation system;

■ 8 overhead vehicle hoists;■ an all wheel drive 1200 dynom-

eter;■ a four bay drive facility for semi

and b-double trailers for repairs and maintenance;

■ additional training areas to expand their post-trade training including hybrid and electric vehicles;

■ a new 10-bay welding area for welding and fabrication training which is essential for semi-trailer maintenance and manufacture.

The MTA-GTS is a nationally accredited training provider and Group Training Organisation, employing over 520 apprentices in South Australia.

The formidable reputation of

the state’s largest group training scheme which combines practical on-the-job skills with off-the-job training is renowned within the industry.

“Industry partnerships are crucial and play an integral part of the development of training pro-grams to give course participants the best education and training options available,” Mr Chapman said.

“MTA-GTS employs appren-tices and trainees (staff) under a Contract of Training and ‘hosts’ staff to businesses (host employers).

The minimum requirement for apprenticeships is Year 11, SACE stage 1 and Year 10 for traineeships.”

PUBLIC Accountant Tracey Was-gind has notched up two years in business in the Riverland.

With tax time now upon us, there are a stack of reasons why Tracey is the person to call with your fi nancial queries.

Tracey has a number of quali-fi cations in various areas includ-ing audit, bookkeeping, man-agement reporting and MYOB certifi ed consulting.

The services Tracey offers include:■ Data entry including entering

sales and purchases, tracing debtors and creditors, bank reconciliations etc;

■ Payroll services including pay-roll, super accruals, work cover and payroll tax calculations;

■ End of month procedures in-cluding reconciliations of bank, other cash clearing accounts, debtors, creditors, payroll clear-ing accounts, etc.;

■ Automation of manual man-agement reports if MYOB is used as an accounting package;

■ Consolidation and/or division of departmental management reports;

Tracey also holds her Public Practice Certifi cate through the National Institute of Accountants.

Any businesses looking to switch to an automated account-ing package such as MYOB Ac-count Right, this is the best time of year to do so.

Tracey is ready to get you set up as soon as possible.

“Keeping your bookwork up to date ensures you have useful

fi nancial information at your fi ngertips to help you make wise business decisions,” she said.

For those businesses with a small retail outlet, Tracey can also set up point of sale systems such as MYOB Retail Manager.

She is also the region’s local MYOB Certifi ed Consultant based in the Riverland.

Services in this area include product sales, software installa-tion, company fi le set up, training of individuals or small groups, ongoing phone and email support and regular MYOB health checks.

MONEY FEATUREYour Finance

By AMP Financial Planner VERONICA RUTHERFORD

JUST as the Federal Government recently handed down its annual budget – its fi nancial plan for the nation – now is a good time for people to take stock of their personal fi nances and establish a plan of their own.

With rising interest rates leading to higher home loan repayments, many Australians may be feeling the pinch.

By taking time to reassess their spending and making sure their money is working as hard as pos-sible, people can make a real differ-ence to their fi nancial fi tness.

Whether it is the government or families, small businesses or indi-viduals, setting a budget and sticking to it is the cornerstone of good fi nancial management.

Without a budget there is no real way of knowing how much is left at the end of the week to save, invest or go towards reducing debt.

Budgeting requires people to look ahead and consider their future goals.

By establishing a budget, people can set fi nancial goals and more eas-ily monitor their expenses.

After all, unless people take con-trol of their fi nances, it could soon take control of them.

Let us look at a few things people need to consider when tackling a budget:■ Always over-estimate your expendi-

ture for the next 12 months. It allows a buffer for price rises and increasing loan repayments.

■ Ensure you either have an emergen-cy fund or access to cash through a mortgage redraw facility as a contingency for life’s unexpected expenses.

■ With rising property values, do not just get a line of credit and use your house like a personal ATM ma-chine. The life expectancy of a loan should refl ect the life expectancy of the asset.

■ Use a separate working account. It is okay to use credit cards if you are disciplined but set aside money into the working account to cover fi xed expenses like phone bills, rates and body corporate expenses. And do not touch the working account – it is not really your money.

■ Save for the long-term goals fi rst. People could consider saving 20 per cent for the long term for things like retirement funding and kids education and then save for the medium-term goals such as a deposit on a fi rst home. Saving for the short term for things like end of year holidays and Christmas presents should come last.

■ Differentiate ‘wants’ and ‘needs’. Don’t be too hard on yourself but do you really need the $100 per month cable TV package?

■ Always reconcile your bank state-ments and credit card statements. Human error can cost you. It is also a good way of tracking your spending habits.

Once a person has successfully prepared a budget, the biggest and most important step is to be disci-plined with spending and stick to it.

It is also very important for people to strategically use any excess funds in their budget to their best advantage.

Depending on a person’s personal circumstances, and with the help of a fi nancial planner, people may choose to reduce debt, create wealth through strategies such as managed funds and gearing, or salary sacrifi ce into super to boost their retirement nest egg.

Having a budget puts people in control of their fi nancial future and will enable them to own tomorrow.

Budget wisely so you can own tomorrow

■ BUDGET: Just as Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan delivered the nation’s budget recently, you too should be considering your spending decisions.

NATIONAL Foods has donated the Berri Direct Kiosk to the Berri Bar-mera Council, which will now run the business.

Current manager Rhonda Voigt will continue on in her role at the iconic store.

Council chief executive offi cer David Beaton said it will be busi-ness as usual for the outlet in the short term future.

“It’s going to operate similar to what it’s been doing,” he said.

However, Mr Beaton said the window is now open for others to put their wares on display.

“It’s another opportunity now for some other local producers that might want to put their prod-ucts through there, so it might be another outlet for local produce as well,” he said.

“We’ve only just started advertis-ing that, given we’ve just taken it over.”

Mr Beaton said council has grate-fully accepted the donation from National Foods.

“It is a generous gesture, given the corporate environment at the mo-ment,” he said.

“There’s been a lot of community input into the profi ts of Berri Limited and National Foods, so it is good that they are paying respect to that and trying to give something back.”

While there are no big plans for the store in the pipeline at the moment, Mr Beaton said council will review operational changes in the near future.

“We’ll see how it runs and works within the new operating structure and just progress it from there,” he said.

“We just need to see how profi table the business is, how it runs and some corporate information about the business before we make a decision.”

Mr Beaton said the council run business model is not unique to this particu-lar case.

“There are certainly similar sorts of ventures all over Australia,” he said.

Such examples include council owned and operated community stores, tourism outlets and other small ventures.

With Mrs Voigt still at the helm in

the store, Mr Beaton said her experience is extremely valuable with council now run-ning the business.

“By taking over the current manager of it, it makes the transition of it a lot easier,” he said.

The shop could well be seen as a bur-den for a busy council to take on but Mr Beaton believes it has a strong importance in the region. “It might be a bit more work for us to co-ordinate it but we want to continue to have that business there because it is a bit of an icon in the Riverland,” he said.

An Irresistible An Irresistible Riverfront EntertainerRiverfront EntertainerAN amazing property set on

almost 2 acres, the home has been carefully considered to cater for life’s entertaining luxu-ries whilst absorbing wonderful sights of the mighty Murray River, Katarapko Creek and eco wildlife back fi lled waters. At night time, it’s almost an all season wonder-land that provides sights of inter town lights and at fi rework sea-son, it’s almost like a private per-formance of striking sound and colour. As you arrive and wander up the cobble brick path, you will be witness to a home that boasts palatial elegance throughout.

Wide verandahs engaging col-umns wrap the home and pictur-esque gardens splashed with or-namental color meander through the serene romantic gardens that allow play or solitude.

Within the heart of the abode, it’s easy to see the level of care and detail that has been considered. Laden with warmth, character and charm, accentuat-ing beautiful blends of old world charm coupled with contempo-rary features fi t perfectly and are timeless.

Three large sleeping zones with the master retreat having full length robes and the striking bathroom has thoughtful touches including a large semi-frameless shower alcove, claw foot bath and the Jarrah timber vanity with corrugated fl ute trims blends in beautifully with the white fl oor and wall tiles that enclose this space.

At the front of the home, the kitchen captures enviable river views whilst still being an ideal place to whip up signature dishes

while chatting with guests as they ebb and fl ow from living and out-door entertaining areas.

Behind the family living zone consisting of French glass doors and polished timber fl oors, the internal space serves to create a feeling of expansiveness and opulent living. Your young ones sleeping quarters are just that: a buffer zone between sound and silence.

Open spaces encourage the children to utilize their energy levels whether on bikes, playing in the tree house amongst native gums, or diving off your very own free fl oating pontoon into the refreshing Murray during those summer months.

30 x 20 feet of qual-ity shedding with con-crete fl oors & power will excite the handy man, while double roller doors and a 2 bay free-standing carport is sure to keep all the boys toys safe.

A rare invitation

to have the opportunity to pur-chase a unique and distinctive river property on the fringe of the Loxton Township that would want family and friends to stay and enjoy the fruits of a relaxing lifestyle.

Barina continues its Barina continues its competitive pushcompetitive push

HOLDEN Barina continues its competitive push into the value end of the light car market with

a fresh new look and feel for the Barina three door and fi ve door hatchbacks, plus the addition of side impact airbags across the range.

Starting from $14,490, the upgraded Holden Barina hatchbacks represent exceptional value for money, boasting a 1.6 litre powertrain and refreshed exterior

and interior styling.Most notably, the Barina three door and

fi ve door hatch-backs have

been given a

more dynamic body design, highlighted by a strong Euro-styled front fascia and rear end treatments.

Inside, the interior is signifi cantly upgraded and features an updated instru-ment panel, console and new fabric trim.

From a safety perspective, all Barina models, including the four door Barina sedan, receive driver, front passenger and side impact airbags as standard.

GM Holden director of marketing Philip Brook said the latest Barina range offered customers choice, style and func-tion at a great value price.

“With three body styles, striking ex-terior and interior design improvements, Barina will appeal to a broad range of customer groups,” Mr Brook said.

“Add side impact airbags and the package becomes even more attractive.

“Barina represents great value for money in a growing segment

of the market that appreciates fuel economy and the conve-

nience of a small vehicle.”Barina three door and fi ve

door hatchback’s updated design is refl ected in the strong signature radia-tor grille fl anked by large, curved and jewelled head-lamps.

Dynamic detailing includes sporty contours

which fl ow from the bonnet

to the A-pillar with prominent shoulder lines, rear roof spoiler and a rear bumper fascia surmounted by clear, round tail lamps.

The Barina hatch models also get a cleverly packaged interior characterised by the new instrument panel which fea-tures a matt chrome-trimmed, four-circle instrument cluster.

Air vents on the new centre console repeat the circular theme and the fully integrated audio unit is MP3 compatible.

Heating and air-conditioning controls are large and user-friendly.

The Barina range improves occupant safety with the inclusion of side impact airbags for driver and front passenger, which extend upwards to provide head as well as thorax protection and comple-ment the driver and front passenger airbags already standard.

Barina is powered by a 1.6 litre DOHC multi-point fuel injected engine that produces 76kW of peak power at 5800rpm and develops peak torque of 145Nm at 3600rpm.

The 16 valve, 1.6 litre, powerplant returns 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres (manual transmission) and 7.6 litres/100 kilometres (automatic).

Ventilated front disc brakes are stan-dard and alloy wheels and four-channel ABS braking system are available in an option pack.

Colour selectionOn sale now, Barina offers a choice of eight exterior colours, fi ve new to the range:

■ Arctic White;■ Chilli Red;■ Fayence Uni (metallic) -

(three and fi ve door hatchback only)

■ Impression Blue (metallic) ■ Urban Grey (metallic) ■ Mercury Silver (metallic);■ Horizon Blue (metallic);■ Carbon Flash Black (metallic)■ Flame Red (metallic) –

(sedan only).Metallic paint is an optional extra.

MOTORING Cars in the news

HYUNDAI, the world’s fastest grow-ing car company, is about to launch another member of its ‘i’ family of cars in Australia and the buzz is that it is going to be another sure fi re hit for the carmaker with the Midas touch caradvice.com.au reports.

Hyundai’s i20 will be presented to the Australian motoring press to-morrow and expectations are high,

after the company’s huge success with the i30, along with the recent release of the ix35 compact SUV and i45 sedan.

Sitting somewhere between the company’s best selling Getz (due to be replaced with the i10) and the i30, the all-new i20 has been selling off the charts in Europe, where it was launched in February 2008.

AUSTRALIA’S vast outback is remote and arid but the ex-pansive landscape could also play a cheap and effective role in the Federal Government’s climate change solution, the ABC reports.

A new study has found around six million square kilometres of Australian out-back is also a massive carbon bank, storing huge amounts of atmospheric pollution.

The area, from the central west of New South Wales to Cape York, across the Top End and down to the Wheat Belt in Western Australia, absorbs more than 9.5 billion tonnes of carbon.

Patrick O’Leary, from the Pew Environment group, which commissioned the study, said if managed prop-erly it could reduce carbon pollution by fi ve per cent by 2050.

“Right now our estimates are there’s about 9.7 billion tonnes of carbon stored in the trees and plants of the outback so that’s in the roots, stems and leaves and so on,” he said.

“About another well over a billion tonnes can be stored between now and 2050 if we can put into practice better land management.”

TOYOTA has an-nounced it will unveil the second it-eration of the Toyota FT-86 concept; the Toyota FT-86G Sports Concept, at the Syd-ney Motor Show in October, according to caradvice.com.au

The addition of the ‘G’ in the car’s code name is Toyota shorthand for sports

conversion models. It sees the addi-

tion of a large carbon fi bre rear wing, car-bon fi bre rear diffuser and a much more aggressive front end design showcasing an intercooler and bon-net vents.

Toyota also said the new version will use a turbocharged engine and retain the

traditional rear-drive chassis layout as originally intended.

This announce-ment also reignites new hope for potential Australian buyers with recent reports speculating that a production version based on the Toyota FT-86 concept would not be sold in Australia.

■ VOCAL: Gun’s ‘N’ Roses lead singer Axl Rose.

GUNS ‘N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose wants to tear up the track when his band headlines the Sydney round of the V8 Super-car race, the ABC reports.

The US rock band is re-turning to Australia for the fi rst time since 2007 to perform at ANZ Stadium on December 4.

“Bring on Sydney and the V8 Supercars,” Rose said.

“Fast cars and rock ‘n’ roll...to mix Guns with this massive Sydney event will be a blast.

“Some of our biggest fans are Aussies and we love com-ing down there.”

Gigs in other cities have not been ruled out, but the V8 Supercars will be Guns ‘N’ Roses only Sydney date.

MOTORING Tavern Talk4x4

Enduro a great local Enduro a great local eventeventBy DANNY HANRAHAN

THE look on the kids’ faces as the turbo charged buggies and trucks roared past was a joy to behold.

Young Matt announced dur-ing a quiet spell, “my dad is go-ing to buy one for Christmas; it’s going to be a surprise for Mum”.

I suspect that Dad may be dreaming, just like many of the spectators that took up the van-tage points around the track.

Nothing wrong with dream-ing about buying a Trophy Truck and racing, I’ve been doing it for about 30 years.

Welcome to the Hi-Tec Oils Waikerie Enduro organised and run by the Waikerie Riverland Off Road Association.

One of the great things about this event is that you can actu-ally see two days of racing.

Hundreds of spectators lined the fence on Saturday afternoon to watch the prologue.

This was over a six kilometre track laid out right in front of the canteen and camping area.

For over two hours specta-tors watched the buggies roar around, fl ying over the jumps, spraying clouds of dirt high into the air as they spectacu-larly bounced around corners and sped past down the main

straight.The kids cheered for Dad

and, in many cases, Mum as well.

Many had picked out their favourite on Friday night at scru-tineering held on the Waikerie footy oval.

This was a great chance to get up close and inspect the cars and chat to the drivers and navi-gators.

Many a comment was heard along the lines of, “look but don’t touch”, but how often do the small and big kids alike get a chance to be that close to elite racing machines?

At the completion of the prologue, the fastest cars got to compete in the Top 10 Shootout over a track designed so specta-tors can see the whole race.

This was obviously a crowd favourite going by the amount of cheering.

The Apex Club had been working hard running the can-teen and preparing a roast din-ner to feed the multitude on Sat-urday night.

The bonfi re was lit and the crowd began to gather, taking in the wafting delights of roasting meats while enjoying a few ales.

The camping ground was lit with the essential bonfi res, pro-viding enough light for the kids to ride their bikes around as the

cars underwent last minute re-pairs.

With a big day on Sunday, the camp settled early accompa-nied by the glowing embers of the fi res.

Sunday morning saw the main race and again crowds lined the track, taking in over fi ve hours of hair raising motor-sport.

All this for a $2 entrance fee, $6 camping fee and without the need to build a $800 million dollar stadium.

C o n -gratulations to the Riv-erland for a fantastic w e e k e n d of afford-able, excit-ing family orientated m o t o r s -port.

M a k e sure you make the effort and I’ll see you there next year.

Check out a few hundred of my photos at www.daydreampho-togrpahy.com.au for a sample of the weekend’s action.

■ ACTION: The racing at the Waikerie Enduro had the crowd,

young and old, in raptures over the weekend. Photo: DANNY HANRAHAN

2009 BEST VAN OF THE YEAR

30 • Riverland Weekly – Thursday July 15, 2010

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

■ HOW DO you measure the potential boost that net-ball, right down through the ranks, will receive from the Adelaide Thunderbirds’ 10 goal grand fi nal victory over the NZ Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic in the Trans Tasman competition last Sunday?

History tells us that any success by a state team in a major sporting event like this has an uplifting effect on the community as a whole.

How many of our juniors will now want to emulate the performance of one of the Thunderbirds from Sunday, Emily Beaton, who was born in Loxton?

Emily, the daughter of Berri’s David and Cathy, started playing the sport as an eight year old and the 180 centimetre centre/wing at-tack has always had an ambi-tion to play for Australia.

She is among a squad of 22 players vying for spots in the national side for the Commonwealth Games later this year.

After starting with the Thunderbirds in the fi rst year of the Trans Tasman compe-tition in 2008, she has been the perfect example that per-

Beaton’s success a shining light for locals

sistence pays off and tha t when opportunities do pres-ent themselves, you should make the best of them.

After playing in the 2009 grand fi nal, Emily has seldom been in the club’s starting line-up, with Erin Bell fi lling the wing attack position.

Then, after much frustrat-ing bench time, she was told just before the warm ups for the semi-fi nal against NSW Swifts, that she would be in

that spot, with Bell moving to goal attack.

And Emily starred in the Thunderbirds’ triumph.

It was her fi rst chance in the starting seven since round two.

Emily ‘Bells’ Beaton was reportedly lost for words after the club’s fi rst Trans Tas-man title win but did manage to describe “an amazing feel-ing”, adding “it is what you play sport for” and that “we

have worked so hard”.The victory in front of a

huge crowd of 9300, came in Emily’s opinion, because of the Thunderbirds’ experience in play-offs over the years.

We had “too much ex-perience in fi nals, too much mental toughness,” she said.

Already, a number of our local youngsters, as well as many former Riverlanders, are rising through the ranks in the sport and last week

several others from the re-gion perhaps took some gi-ant steps towards the same path.

Following the annual SA Junior Regional Champi-onships in Adelaide, Taylee Howard (Berri) and River Murray pair Ashley Horsell and Nikki Dougall, from the Murray Academy under 17 team, and Meg Gillespie (Barmera), Stephanie Sarro (Berri) and Stacey Hein (River Murray), from the under 15s, were selected in SA Academy Squads for those age groups.

They are currently in Mai-tland (NSW) playing in a na-tional tournament.

Also at under 13 level, Marlee George (Loxton North) was named in the competition’s top 10.

That group gained the benefi t of special coaching sessions.

At the regional cham-pionships all three Murray teams won four of seven lead up matches.

From there, the under 17 side went on to retain its title under considerable diffi culty in the keenly contested tour-nament.

By day two, the squad

had been reduced from 10 to eight, with the loss of Ren-mark’s Lauren Gardner and Waikerie’s Jess Smith due to injury, while star player Tay-lee Howard was ill early and only managed to turn out for the second half of the last of fi ve matches on day one.

After they had been beat-en convincingly by South East in earlier matches, they reversed that result in a semi-fi nal to defeat their rivals (top at that stage) by one goal.

In the fi nal against North-ern, they led by only a goal at half time but in their best form of the tournament, shot clear for a 31-20 win.

The under 15s missed the fi nals by 0.3 per cent, despite defeating top team Eyre by one goal in the last of the lead up games, while the under 13s made it to the semi-fi nals but went down in extra time by one goal against Southern.

The Murray Academy is obviously doing a lot of good work with the region’s ju-niors and if these girls work hard and make the best of their opportunities, we could have more Emily Beatons just around the corner.

What is the Digital Switchover Household Assistance Scheme?

What is the Household Assistance Scheme?

For most people, switching over to digital TV will be a relatively straightforward and inexpensive exercise. The Australian Government understands that some people will need help to get ready for digital TV and has introduced the Household Assistance Scheme to help eligible households to receive digital free-to-air TV signals.

Who is eligible for the Household Assistance Scheme?

A household is eligible for help where they have a functioning TV; do not already have access to digital TV and at least one or more of its residents are in receipt of the maximum rate of the Age Pension; Disability Support Pension; Carer Payment; Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Service Pension or Income Support Supplement.

When can I access the Household Assistance Scheme?

If you are eligible, you will receive a letter from Centrelink during July inviting you to participate in the scheme. The letter will provide details on how to receive help through the scheme.

What help is provided by the Household Assistance Scheme?

Eligible households will receive a high-defi nition set top box, have the set top box installed and its operation demonstrated, and, have any necessary antenna and cabling work performed if eligible and required. This package is free of charge, with a maximum of one per household (including if you move house or change residence). If you are eligible, a qualifi ed government contracted installer will then call you to make an appointment for an installer to come to your home and provide the installation. The installer will send you a letter to confi rm the appointment time. The government contracted installer will not charge you for this service. If you have any doubts about the identity of the contractor, please call 1800 20 10 13.

Is there a difference if I rent or ownmy home

If you live in a rented home, the installer can supply and install a set top box and upgrade the indoor antenna or cabling, but they cannot make changes to external antennas or cabling. You may wish to speak to your landlord or the relevant owners corporation to arrange these upgrades, if required. If you own your home, the installer can supply and install a set top box and make any necessary changes to your cabling and antenna system. Depending on where you live, you may need permission from your owners corporation or local council before any changes can be made to external antennas.

For more information on getting ready for

digital TV, visiwww.digitalready.gov.au, or call 1800 20 10 13.

The age of Waikerie Enduro winner Bob Strawbridge.

Oi, leave our fl ies alone, Jardine. They’re the only friends you’ve got here. ~ Yabba 62 SPORT

■ AS USUAL, the annual Waikerie Off Road Enduro last Sunday was a dra-ma packed event, boasting a number of triumphs but also with its share of hard luck stories as only 28 of the 68 cars starting the 350 kilometre jour-ney made it to the fi nish line.

The overall winner of the race was 62 year old Bob Strawbridge, of Ade-laide, with his pro buggy, followed by Gawler’s James Maddern with anoth-er pro buggy and Waikerie’s Lindsay Foster, who had worked feverishly to get his new American prolite going.

Up to 2000 people watched the event, with the new spectator friendly sections of the track proving popular.

Big crowds also attended Friday,

family night at the Waikerie Town Oval and the exciting prologue – top 10 shoot out double on Saturday.

Brad Gallard (Renmark), with his Geiser Bros trophy truck, won the prologue, ahead of Waikerie’s Toby Francombe, while the top 10 shoot out went to multi Waikerie Enduro winner Gary Turnbull (Mount Gam-bier), who beat home Francombe and Trevor Copeland (Adelaide).

Also celebrating on Sunday night were local identities Paul and Darran van der Woude who were amongst those to fi nish with a new car that has only recently been built and tested.

But, as I suggested earlier, these triumphs were in stark contrast to the

customary hard luck stories.Brad Gallard starting from pole

broke an axle, Scott Schilller came to grief while in second position on the last lap and in unusual circum-stances, Adelaide’s John Schultz lost third spot when he stopped to give an old hockey mate, Loxton’s Tim Cass, a ‘ride’ as a new navigator.

And there was one amazing com-parison to come out of the Enduro.

The van der Woudes had built their fi rst car for the event while the overall winner of the race, Bob Straw-bridge, of Southern Cross Frames, has injected well over 500 pro buggies into the sport over many years.

■ WITH a number of the Riverland’s top players sur-prisingly making themselves unavailable for last week-end’s inaugural Interleague Challenge at Mildura, local soccer association offi cials had to make some hard calls at lunch time on Friday be-fore the trip over the border.

Committed to fi elding a senior men’s team, it was decided to withdraw the under 18 men’s side and to use the younger players at top level.

The RSA secretary Adri-an Pipe said, “most of the lads are playing A grade lo-cally at any rate, as we have no under 18 competition with our juniors starting atunder 16”.

“In fact, neither of our opponents, Sunraysia or Broken Hill, have an under 18 grade either,” he added, “so it is something that may have to be tinkered with for the future”.

Pipe also suggested that there may be a neces-sity to look at the timing of the event, as this time of year seemed to clash with a number of things, including school holidays.

Despite the loss of one of its three teams, Riverland fi nished a pleasing second in the three grade competi-

tion.The senior women lost

6-0 to a strong home team on Saturday, before fi ghting back to defeat Broken Hill 3-1 on Sunday, while the senior men won 2-0 against Broken Hill but then went down 7-1 against a slick, well drilled Sunraysia.

Only 11 of the required 16 players were available for the second game, leaving Riverland undermanned.

The weekend gave local offi cials the opportunity to gauge the strength of Broken Hill, who they will meet in a curtain raiser to an Adelaide United pre-season game at Hindmarsh Stadium on Fri-day, August 6.

“They may well come with a stronger side,” Adrian said.

However, he suggested a Riverland side, that would be chosen from the senior and the many junior play-ers that have committed to Federation Cup and Inter-league Challenge engage-ments so far, would be competitive.

And surely, playing some of the youngsters in such a big game at ‘Headquarters’ can only be good for the future as far as tournaments like the Interleague Chal-lenge are concerned?

■ MY WEEKLY report on eight-ball arrived with the heading ‘An all Albanese Af-fair’. And it certainly was.

A high standard mystery doubles at the Renmark Club was won by Robbie and Deb Albanese, with a win in the fi nal over Kath Michael and Ray Kubenk.

In the semis, the Albanese duo defeated Shane Irons and Corey Rudiger and Mi-chael-Kubenk eliminated Ray Kuchel and Krystal Albanese.

The plate fi nal went to Tony Rover and Jesse Al-banese, defeating Perry O’Connor and Dane Carroll.

Robbie and Deb Albanese have four children, Krystal,

Jesse, Brodie and Lena, and all play eight-ball, with all but Lena playing in the mys-tery doubles tournament.

This year, Robbie, a quali-ty division one player, is turn-ing out in the Renmark Club’s division three side with his four children as team-mates.

Tough fi elds■ RACE three on the sev-en event program at the Riverland Greyhound meet-ing at Barmera on Saturday was one of the toughest fi elds of the afternoon but the John Rees, Monash trained, Mr Miller continued its

consistent run.Starting favourite, Mr

Miller beat home Norma Millington’s Cardross entrant Diffi cult by a length with Bil-lie the Bar third.

Mr Miller has now won eight of its 17 starts.

Rees was the most suc-cessful local trainer on the day.

He also had Try Street ‘Em and Coup De Loot both fi nish second in their events.

Spider Boy, from the Da-vis Kennels at Moorook, also ran second, while Renmark’s Nicole Price had Prince Ben fi nish third.

The next meeting is on Saturday, July 24.

Loxton v Loxton NorthTHE prowling Panthers notched up their third win in a row on Saturday against a previously undefeated Berri.

Win this battle against rivals Loxton and they could well make their way into the top four.

The unexpected resurgence has tight-ened up the race for the last two fi nals positions, the Tigers and Magpies now fi nding themselves with a battle on their hands.

The Loxton North defence was excel-lent in nullifying Berri’s forward thrusts and the forward line was kept open, giving the attacking players, particularly Justin Proud, plenty of room to move.

Loxton plays a good fl ooding game, getting midfi elders Leigh Kruger and Rhys Mitchell deep in defence and countering, which should test Loxton North’s forwards and starve them of opportunity.

If Raph Liddle can make it back for this weekend, it will add to the Tigers’ height stocks and possibly stretch the Panthers for key attacking options on him.

Loxton North went with a small for-ward line in round 10 and may go into this one with a similar system.

Brad Mules on a wing has plenty of

time and space to move, while Brad Wil-liams and Michael Arnold are steadily working themselves back into match fi t-ness (although Williams may miss this match).

The Panthers have shown a lot of heart lately but the Tigers appear to be their hoodoo team, unable to fi nd the right match up for Pete Smith in the past and he should snare a bag in a win for Loxton.

Other games

BARMERA-Monash and Berri meet in what is sure to be another exciting encounter between these two rivals.

Jason Sutherland should be back for the Demons, who will be looking to rec-tify the upset loss to Loxton North last weekend.

Berri will need to regroup this week, while Barmera-Monash will carry a high level of confi dence going into this match.

The hapless Rovers face Waikerie strug-gling for form at Renmark.

After four consecutive losses, the Mag-pies will be looking for a win to start re-building the season.

With Damian Stevens in stellar touch and Whillas Medal form, Waikerie should have too much class and run out easy winners.

Wunkar v LyrupWUNKAR will be looking to turn the ta-bles on the Lions after going down by three goals in the round three clash earlier this season.

The two competition powerhouses will be keen to keep their solid records intact, Lyrup undefeated after 10 games.

Gun midfi elder Daniel Evans missed the round three encounter for the Bull-dogs, adding some grunt in a midfi eld dominant in recent weeks.

However, Lyrup goal kicker Nathan Willmott also missed that match, levelling up the scales once more.

Willmott has jagged 27 goals in his past two games and will attract close at-tention from the Wunkar defence.

Shane Schulz emerges as the key for the Bulldogs.

His ruckwork is great but his work around the ground will be twice as piv-otal.

Schulz’s ability to take strong contest-ed marks and his penetrating delivery deep into the forward line will test the Lions.

However, Lyrup’s midfi elders, includ-ing ball magnet Jason Marr, have been working well with ruckman Joey Finn over the past few rounds and getting better at reading the big man’s taps.

Given the Bulldogs do have a number of lighter, younger bodies in the team, including the talented Nathan Brown, Lyrup’s around the contest and overall strength should see the Lions get up in an-other titanic struggle.

By BRAD PERRY

ALTHOUGH the June clearance deadline has passed, the Brown’s Well Football Club is planning for its future in the Independent com-petition.

The club is getting in early and seeking recruits for the 2011 season in order to improve its competi-tiveness.

“At times it can be diffi cult to have the side completely settled for varying reasons,” coach Steve Watson said.

“We hope to be able to change this with additional players.”

Brown’s Well currently is sit-ting bottom of the ladder without a win and Watson said he cannot guarantee his future leading the club next season.

“I don’t have a crystal ball but in the past seven seasons Brown’s Well has not had a regular coach,” he said.

“For the club’s success, the committee will have to consider stability and ultimately the future direction of the club.”

For many people who live out-side of the Riverland, the Brown’s Well community is not one that is well known but according to Watson, it can offer a lot for a foot-baller.

“If people make the 32 kilome-tre journey from Loxton, they will be provided with time to think about their training and game, catch-up with the family if travel-ling together and unwind from work,” he said.

“They can enjoy a cold beer or other refreshments, hot showers, dynamic club culture, family en-vironment, soon to be completed new netball and tennis courts, secure playground for kids, good food and most importantly, be familiarised in all aspects of the game from the numerous genera-

tions of experts.”Watson said many of the club’s

juniors are currently playing two games on a Saturday.

“We have juniors that are capa-ble of stepping straight into senior football and we encourage this de-velopment,” he said.

If Brown’s Well does not re-cruit any additional players, Wat-son said the club will “continue on as it is now”, struggling to remain competitive.

However, Watson is confi dent the club has a bright future ahead.

“With the continued develop-ment of the juniors, the continued support and contributions of the committee, players and supporters, Brown’s Well will continue to grow as a club well into the future,” he said.

If you are interested in playing for, or supporting the Bombers, contact Steve Watson on 0418 848 364.

Future focus for Battling Bombers

■ FOCUS: Brown’s Well coach Steve Watson believes stability is the key if Brown’s Well Football Club is to survive in the Independent competition.

■ IT’S ON: This weekend’s clash between Loxton and Loxton North will be a big indicator on who will

play fi nals football this year.

Lameroo v KaroondaLAMEROO is clearly in need of a victory, if only to give itself a chance of getting off the bottom of the ladder.

Second placed Karoonda is in the mid-dle of a dour struggle for second spot.

Corey Knight returned from injury last round for the Maggies and along with Jus-tin Jackson and Lucas Neumann will be too good for the Hawks.

Murrayville v PeakeMURRAYVILLE will also keep itself in the hunt for the double chance with a com-

fortable win over Peake.The Bulldogs have been looking a bit

more settled in recent weeks.There are plenty of goalkicking options

for the Dogs with Damien Bates, Mick O’Malley and Justin Bailey all capable.

BDT v PinnarooLIKE a well oiled machine, BDT keeps on rolling on, demolishing Peake last week.

This match will see the Crows playing a Pinnaroo side keen to prove it is a premier-ship contender.

Brad Sheridan and Alex Keogh must work overtime in the midfi eld, if they don’t it could be a rampage.

Other matches

THE Redbacks are highly rated by op-posing coaches in the league and have stunned many about just how competi-tive they are.

It is a surprise to many they haven’t notched up more wins, with fl uent ball movement and a fairly solid line-up.

While boasting the likes of Russell Boatswain and Max Baddack, Ramco lacks the depth of BSR, which should get up at Blanchetown.

BROWN’S Well is only a handful of quality players from being a genuine fi -nals contender, depth really taking its toll on the Paruna-based team.

While the Hampel boys (Brian and Matt) continue to show the way, they are lacking support from others to win matches.

If Travis Voigt plays for Moorook-Kingston, mark him down for a bag of fi ve but if he doesn’t, the Bombers could well notch up a win at Moorook.

THE clash between East Murray and Paringa is pivotal to the fi nals structure.

If the Swans lose in the Mallee this weekend, they are in deep trouble and likely to fall out of the top four.

With only three games to go for Paringa after this week, one of those being against Lyrup in the fi nal round, it could be a tough scrap for fourth with Cobdogla.

If the Tigers can cut the infl uence of Anthony Lippis and Andrew Lloyd, they’re a good shot to get up.

Youngsters making their mark

Wrestlers ready for RampageBy CALLUM TRIFONOFF

“THE Riverland will never know what hit them.”

That is according to hard-core wrestler Jarek Craven, ahead of Saturday night’s Riverland Rampage 2, hosted by Pro Wrestling Igniotion, at the Berri Town Hall.

Craven, along with Liv-ing Death Joel Bateman, and many others, will slug it out in the ring for the honour of winning several title belts.

Bateman spoke exclu-sively to the Riverland Weekly and said everyone involved in Riverland Rampage 2 was looking forward to the event.

“Yeah very much so, ev-eryone is really keen,” Bate-man said.

“Everyone has been really cool to us, like you guys, ev-

eryone has been great.”Riverland Rampage 2 is,

of course, the second PWI show the region has seen, the fi rst being Riverland Rampage in May, and Bateman believes a third show is on the cards.

“Riverland Rampage was awesome and at the moment I’m speaking to the council to lock in that third date for us to come back again.”

Many wrestlers will take

to the ring this Saturday, each with their own individual style.

“They’ve all got their own signature moves,” Bateman said.

“(Hurricane) Heath Fury has ‘Hurricane Larry’, a move where he grabs his forearm and swings it into his oppo-nent’s head. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end from that one.”

“My move is the ‘pile driver’, while Justin Newman has the ‘kill switch’ and Alexi (Papadopoulos) does a bicy-cle kick and that’s something I defi nitely wouldn’t want to face either.”

Tickets for Riverland Rampage are still available and those interested should ring 0422 019 365 to reserve ringside seats.

He grabs his forearm and swings it into

his opponent’s head. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving

end.

“She’s (George) been nurtured with such magnifi cent players and really improved her game,” Ms Gambling said.

“Under Sharona’s (Edwards) coaching, she has also become more confi dent and certainly

grown as a player.”But George is only one of many

young netballers making their mark on the A1 grade this year.

Berri already has school-aged players Kimberly Wade and Mi-chelle Wenman in their third sea-son, while the club has introduced 15 year old shooter Taylee Howard

into the fray. “She (Howard) has

fi tted in really well,” Ms Gambling said.

Ellee Eleftheriadis was also showing great signs before her devas-tating leg injuries a few months ago.

Barmera has un-earthed Tracy-Lee Jones amongst a plethora of young talent, including Charlotte Richardson,

Keira Middleton and Katie Saville, while Waikerie coach Lauren Os-wald has been working a number of rookies through the ranks this year, including Lucy Eldredge and Jess Smithson.

Loxton North’s Sherrin Koch has also impressed.

At Renmark, 16 year old wing attack Reeni Leuders has enjoyed a consistent season on court.

She has been joined by Kelly Nelson in the A1s, while Shannon Watchman and Lauren Gardner have been performing well in the A2s.

Ms Gambling said the number of young players making their way into the senior teams is evidence of the Murray Netball Academy’s in-fl uence on junior development.

“Their skill levels have im-proved and the academy is teach-

ing them how to play tougher net-ball,” she said.

“There are 11 academy of for-mer academy girls playing either A1 or A2 grade this year.”

Under the guidance of Anne Noack and Lyn Leuders, the acad-emy has fast-tracked junior play-ers into higher levels of netball, something that must be paying dividends in a league where youth infl uence is continually growing.

NAME: SAM FRAHN

SAM FRAHN IS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR A PERPETUAL TROPHY AND PRIZE MONEY

RISING STAR AWARD

SAM Frahn has taken on some huge roles in the key defensive positions in his fi rst year of senior footy.

He has impressed all with his work ethic and application to the role at hand.

He lists junior coaches Henry Du Rieu and Allan Brand as being big infl uences on his football development.

While he is suited to the half back position, he can adapt to most roles.

LOXTON LOXTON THREAT THREAT LURKSLURKS

Under the radarBy LES PEARSON

AS Renmark sits pretty atop the A1 netball ladder, a threat lurks just below them.

Last year’s premier Loxton is steadily building heading into the second half of the season following the mid-year break.

Riverland Netball Associ-ation publicity offi cer Wendy Gambling rates Loxton as a big chance to take the title out for the second consecu-tive year.

“Its (Loxton’s) defenders are strong, the goalies have an excellent shooting percentage and the mid-court players are rated very highly,” Ms Gam-bling said.

“Renmark will be tested when these two teams meet.”

The clash looms on July 23, which will be a great in-dicator on where each team is at.

Loxton has retained its core group of premiership players, a team that knows how to win big games.

“They l o o k e d so sharp (against Berri),” Ms Gam-bling said.

“They have picked it up a level and it’s showing in their play.”

Experienced attacker Tess Dempsey has been in great form along with youngster Amber George (pictured right) who has devel-oped even further after winning a premiership in her fi rst season in the A1s.
