LIBERAL parliamentary strategy for the new term will be guided by meetings held in the Riverland this week.
The entire Liberal parliamentary group travelled to the Riverland yesterday for its offi cial conference, as well as to meet with locals.
During the conference, strategy for the coming parliamentary session was planned, while MPs were also elected to parliamentary committees.
Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said he is proud to have the party in the region for two days.
“I’ll be introducing them to as many people as I can,” Mr Whetstone said yesterday.
“They are here because they recognise the importance of the rural sector and the role the Riverland plays in that.”
Mr Whetstone said party policy will be developed following meetings with locals involved in major Riverland industries.
A less formal meet and greet gather-ing was held at Mr Whetstone’s home last night.

Sacred day’s stature grows
IT SEEMS entirely obvious that this week’s editorial would be about Anzac Day and its importance to the Australian psyche.
To me, and many other Australians, it is the most sacred day on the Australian calendar.
This year we saw large crowds at ser-vices right across the region and an inter-est in the day that seems to be growing across the nation.
Perhaps it is the mystique of the An-zac’s charging across Gallilpoli’s shores and up the rocky cliff faces that is inspir-ing the rise in interest.
Or maybe, it is just a sign of a nation growing comfortable with itself and its world contribution, far different to the confused times of the late 70s and 80s that followed the Vietnam confl ict.
So, with all of that in mind, it as-tounds me that on Sunday morning a motorist could be ignorant enough to drive past a dawn service with his stereo booming ‘doof doof’ music.
It did not ruin the beautiful Loxton service but the ignorance of the driver cer-tainly was noted.
Thankfully, most other Australians are now showing more understanding of the importance of this day.

STATE agriculture minister Michael O’Brien made his fi rst offi cial visit to the re-gion in his new portfolio last week.
Touching base with a number of irrigator groups and industry leaders throughout the Riverland, Minister O’Brien said he used the visit to refresh him-self with the farming circuit after working for Elders AgriBusiness for a number of years in the Melbourne head offi ce.
“I come to the portfolio with a reasonable under-standing of AgriBusiness and it’s really just a case of reacquainting myself,” he said.
“It’s going really well.“It all comes back to you,
so I will get back up to speed fairly quickly, I think.”
Minister O’Brien also has strong links with the region after being the inau-gural chair of the Riverland Futures Taskforce, before stepping down to head into parliament.
“As a part of that role, I was previously in the River-land every second week in an effort to map out a vision as to where we could take the Riverland in regards to population growth and eco-nomic activity,” he said.
“So as far as the River-land is concerned and the issues it faces, I have a pretty good understanding just from the work I did through the taskforce.”
So, why take on one of the toughest portfolios in South Australian politics?
“In part because I worked for Elders and really enjoyed the (agricultural) sector,” Minister O’Brien said.
“I also spent my teen-age years in a regional town (Whyalla), so I have a good understanding of what it’s like to live in a regional, non-metropolitan town and what the issues are.”
Bright future ahead?
MINISTER O’Brien said from the meetings he had with local growers last week, he developed a feeling that there are sunny skies ahead for an economically starved
regional climate.“I’m now detecting
a sense that the worst is behind the Riverland,” he said.
“The drought may well have broken and produc-ers, now, are trying to work out strategies to get back on their feet.
“My sense is that wine, citrus and probably almond producers are thinking we could be moving into a pe-riod of sustained prosper-ity…it’s just a case of get-ting their fi nancial affairs in order.”
Minister O’Brien’s visit included speaking with members of each of the irri-gation trusts, taking a focus
on developing an apprecia-tion of the particular issues they are dealing with as a result of people taking exit packages.
“I also spoke with pro-ducers about dealing with what was a glut and how the State Government can assist with opening up overseas markets through our trade offi ces,” Minister O’Brien said.
Locust problemTHE locust plague that hit the Riverland has taken grip of the Southern Mallee re-gion as well, farmers delay-ing sowing in hope the pests
disappear soon.Pinnaroo grower Corey
Blacksell said the plague reached his property last week.
“They hit really hard,” he said.
“I sprayed two days before they got here but there’s nothing left in some paddocks.
“They literally walk as a wall.”
Mr Blacksell said there needs to be government action to minimise the im-pact the bugs have come September.
“This is in the public in-terest,” he said.
Minister O’Brien con-fi rmed there will be a
government initiative in place come spring when the eggs are due to hatch.
“Each of the states work through the Plague Locust Commission, which is now doing the preparatory work for a whole scale eradica-tion project that will com-mence in September,” he said.
“We’ve got the people on the ground, doing the mapping and getting the co-ordinates, determining where (the locusts have) settled.
“Come September, we’ll do the widespread spraying.
“The co-ordinates will be established and given to the pilots who will do the spraying.”
Minister O’Brien said the cost of the eradication plan is yet to be determined.
“Not at this stage but they are going to be signifi -cant, it’s a major outbreak,” he said.
Loxton Research Centre
THE minister’s visit also took him to the Loxton Pri-mary Industries Research Centre, where he met with the Riverland Future’sTaskforce.
Minister O’Brien said taskforce director Peter Ack-land presented its recom-mendations for the facility’s future.
“The taskforce is rec-ommending turning it into a centre of excellence,” he said.
“Shifting its focus from conducting research to be-ing a one-stop shop for growers, producers, proces-sors to get information on new techniques, technolo-gies and the like.

NEWS ANZAC Day
By BRAD PERRY
THE Riverland’s Sikh community stood proud on the weekend, march-ing through the streets of Renmark during the Anzac Day parade to hon-our the soldiers who donned their religiously signifi cant turban during war.
Sikh community member Har-vinder Singh said many people are not aware that more than 83,000 Sikhs were killed and nearly 110,000 wounded during the two world wars, including at Gallipoli.
“We want to make aware to the local community that we were part of that history,” he said.
Mr Singh said participating in the Anzac Day march and laying a wreath were all part of remembering those who fought for the nation and the world.
“We unite and salute all those soldiers who gave their lives for the world,” he said.
The Sikhs were known as some of the most loyal soldiers in the two wars and joined the fi ght in large numbers in 1914, as an ally to Brit-ain.
Honouring their religion, the Sikhs chose to wear turbans on the battlefront, enduring shellfi re with-out a helmet to protect them.
“We fought hand in hand in
World War I and II alongside Aus-tralian and British troops,” Mr Singh said.
“They (Sikh soldiers) are known for their bravery.
“Because of our faith, we would rather have died than wear a hel-met.”
The Sikhs were awarded 14 cross-es (including the Victorian Cross) for conspicuous gallantry.
Following the ceremony in Renmark, more than 400 people at-tended the Visakhi festival at the Glossop temple (Guru Gurdwara), where the Sikh fl ag was raised.
The event celebrated the Sikh re-ligion, identity and way of life.
SERVING his country is an honour local soldier Corporal Matthew Blades certainly does not take for granted.
The 27 year old Berri man spent Anzac Day thinking of those who have worn the Australian uniform and refl ecting on his own experi-ences in Afghanistan.
“It (Anzac Day) is a time we need to refl ect on where we are going and improve from there and honour those people that have gone before us,” he said.
“It is the best experience ever to actually serve under your own fl ag.
“I can’t put it into words, it is an awesome feeling.”
Mr Blades recently spent over eight months working “hand in

BERRI Football Club play-ers continued a recent trend of entire teams attending Anzac Day dawn services, heading to Sunday’s com-memoration at Barmera’s Garden of Memory.
BFC coach Rod Hankin said Anzac Day teaches peo-ple many things.
“I think country football teams should be showing to the community that they are heavily involved within
the community,” Mr Han-kin said.
“I think that’s what An-zac Day is all about, fi ghting and standing up for your mates, like they do on the football fi eld.”
Mr Hankin believes young people need to be aware of the importance of the day.
“Let’s face it, if those blokes hadn’t gone to war, we wouldn’t be here really,” he said.
“I think the day is more
important than any other day in the year.”
Mr Hankin, having served in the Royal Austra-lian Navy, said Anzac Day is all about remembrance.
“I can remember blokes being killed, a good mate of mine was killed in East Timor, so it’s a day for re-membrance,” he said.
“Two of my dad’s uncles went to war and one was kept in a war prison, so for me, it’s got to do with my own family heritage.”

THE sound of the bugle call The Last Post rang out across the Riverland and Mallee on Anzac Day, as hundreds paid their respects to those who rep-resented Australia at war.
Near record crowds of more than 500 people attended memorial ser-vices in Barmera and Renmark, while other Anzac Day services across the Riverland and Mallee were also well attended.
Renmark RSL sub-branch presi-dent Chester Warren said 100 Dig-gers marched through Renmark, after more than 250 people were in at-tendance for the dawn service at the Cross of Sacrifi ce.
“A few stalwart World War II guys were able to march (as well as) Viet-nam veterans and other peace keep-ing contingents,” he said.
“The dawn service went well and we were lucky with the weather.”
The following memorial service in Renmark attracted signifi cant numbers, with the wreath laying an integral part of the event.
“There was a big community in-volvement (at the memorial),” Mr Warren said.
Up to 700 people attended a ser-vice at Barmera’s Garden of Memory, there were around 500 gathered at Loxton and 250 at Waikerie to hon-our those who sacrifi ced their lives for their country.
Dawn services at Swan Reach and Cadell were also well attended.
In the Mallee, Pinnaroo RSL pres-ident Cameron Gasmier said a record crowd was in attendance to witness a presentation in memory of four of its former residents.
“Four locals that were in France
and received the military medal for their heroic deeds (were honoured),” he said.
“Two ladies that were relatives of the soldiers read their citations out.
“It was quite stirring.”Up to 150 people attended the
service and Mr Gasmier said a num-ber were people that do not normally attend Anzac Day memorials.
Local farmer Peter Wallis played The Last Post as those in the Mallee remembered the large number of soldiers from their small towns who fought in Australia’s various wars.
Praise for road closureWITH such large crowds attending the Anzac Day memorial in Renmark, Renmark RSL sub-branch president Chester Warren has praised the Renmark Paringa Council for keep-ing roads around the service closed.
In previous years, Mr Warren said both noise and safety had been com-promised by passing traffi c.
“The year before last, at the dawn service, we had two semi-trailers go past,” he said.
“The noise drowned out every-thing for a long way.”
Mr Warren said council has ad-vised the RSL that in future it will ensure the roads will be closed for Anzac Day ceremonies.
“The road closures this year were excellent,” he added.

hand” with the Afghanistan National Army in the war-torn country in a bid to halt terrorist action which has arisen from the area.
Once he arrived, he realised that no amount of training could have prepared him for the real thing.
“We spent a lot of time training before we went over but I think no matter how much training you do, you are never quite prepared for what you see over there,” he said.
“The thing that people have got to understand is what we are really do-ing over there is not actually fi ghting as such, we are actually mentoring the Afghan National Army.
“The fi ghting that we do do is more circumstance rather than us ac-
tively looking for a fi ght.”A proud soldier, Mr Blades moved
out of the Riverland and joined the Australian Army at the age of 19, fol-lowing in the footsteps of his father, who served in the British Army, and his grandfather, who was also an Aus-
tralian soldier.Being able to serve his country on
the warfront is something Mr Blades believes has added to his life experi-ence.
“I think it was a very positive ex-perience for myself,” he said.
“One of the best things I saw was the fact we were having a positive in-
fl uence on the local populace.“They live in a very different
culture, so what we think might be baby steps are really big steps for them.”
Following his tour of duty, Mr Blades returned to the Riverland re-
cently and said it was an emotional trek home, similar to his return from overseas duty.
“When you get off that plane, to fi nally see my family again, it was quite overwhelming but at the same time, it was the best thing to know I am well and truly home,” he said.
Mr Blades said if he is given an-other opportunity to serve his coun-try overseas, he would not hesitate to honour the Aussie fl ag.

THE RIVERLAND Farmers’ Market could be bustling with hundreds of patrons and celebrity chefs, if sup-port is given to the idea of building a multi-purpose hall, specifi cally for the market.
Newly appointed mar-ket manager Linda Bouch-er has dreams of turning the local market into a thriving haven for tour-ists and locals, with more than double the stall hold-ers the market currently has.
Mrs Boucher believes the only way to attract more people is to construct a bigger facility in a central location, similar in style to the way the Adelaide Mar-kets are set up.
“Our dream would be to have a purpose built building especially for the market that would have a commercial kitchen in it,” she said.
“Then we would be able to have more cook-ing demonstrations and be
able to entice chefs from Adelaide and Mildura.
“The main thing about the purpose built building is that everything could remain set up, so in other words, people could bring their things, leave them and then rock up on Satur-day morning...and all they would need to do is set their product up on it.”
Looking to the future, Mrs Boucher said if the markets were ever able to build a multi-purpose fa-
cility, the ideal location would still be Berri.
“Where we are right now, we are centrally lo-cated for the Riverland,” she said.
“The Berri Barmera Council is just fantastic in the sense that they want to work with us and keep the market in the town because it does benefi t everybody.”
The local market had a booming past month, as summer fruit phased out and winter vegetables took
their place.However, Mrs Boucher
said the market is always looking for more stallhold-ers as it has to become a lot bigger if it is going to be a major tourism attraction.
“Markets are starting to grow in their popularity, which is a fantastic thing,” she said.
“Our dream is (to match) Willunga and some of the other mar-kets who have 55 stalls every Saturday.”
Rubbish collection correction
THANK you for printing my letter in the Riverland Weekly (Rubbish collec-tion for Southern Mallee residents, April 22), however, I have been told there was some confusion regarding the cost of the rubbish collection from private property.
The ratepayer who has the rub-bish picked up on their land still pays the same rubbish collection fee as the ratepayers who have their rub-bish collected from the side of the highway.
There is no extra charge for the truck, driver’s time and the fuel used to enter the property to pick up the rubbish.
The reason given by the CEO for the truck picking up the rubbish on private property is that it is unsafe for the truck to pick up the rubbish from the side of the highway.
In my opinion, it is no more dan-gerous than it is to pick up a neigh-bour’s rubbish from the highway.
In an email to me, the CEO wrote “this matter has been discussed at length recently at a council meeting. I am satisfi ed that the earlier consid-eration and judgement of the works manager in approving with the col-
lection point meets with the approv-al of elected members”.
This was only discussed by elect-ed members after I contacted a coun-cillor about it, then sent an email to the CEO.
It had been operating for about 10 months without the knowledge of the elected members.
In my opinion, it is unfair to have this service available to only one rate-payer.
I know the CEO must support his staff in the decision they make but this service should be for all ratepay-ers, not just one.
Marilyn Smith,Parrakie.
Balanced responseMRS Staehr’s letter of April 22 (Pow-er imbalance) needs a response of a balanced nature: it almost comes into the sour grapes category, yet has to be accepted as a genuine opinion, possibly held by several other resi-dents in the Riverland.
The early comments in the letter were absolutely correct.
Ms Redmond and her senior par-ty colleagues are not ready to form a government, and, “yes”, Rann and Labor nearly lost that contest by de-
fault in both policies and practice.To say many irrigators were “ap-
palled” at the loss of Chaffey by the sitting member, however, almost comes into the ‘fl ights of fancy’.
That massive swing against Mrs Maywald must have included votes from irrigators and their families.
This is democracy in action.To say that Tim Whetstone “will
be marginalised for the next four years” hardly allows any leeway for our new member to get off the ground.
Already he has succeeded in calling upon the Federal Shadow Minister Barnaby Joyce to visit the Riverland.
But the last paragraph is a truly amazing conclusion by Mrs Staehr that “Riverland irrigators have lost their edge”.
How on Earth that can be said at this early stage of Tim Whetstone’s parliamentary career beggars belief.
The forecast almost rivals the statement a while ago, also emanat-ing from Barmera, that Lake Bonney was to disappear. Well, it hasn’t.
Doom and gloom attitudes are not all that popular in the Riverland, thank goodness.
Allen Bennett,Waikerie.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Kings of the ring hit the Riverland
By BRAD PERRY
WRESTLING has been de-scribed as many things, colour-ful, electrifying, egotistical and charismatic but for one group of wrestlers, the word painful springs to mind.
Energetic wrestler Joel ‘Liv-ing Death’ Bateman is part of Pro Wrestling Ignition, which has chosen the region as the perfect place to fl ex its muscles, hosting a show called Riverland Rampage.
Joel began wrestling when he was 11 years old and has helped to train others in a sport he has huge respect for.
“It puts together all my fa-vourite aspects of performance, physicality and creativity,” he said.
Fellow wrestlers Raneem ‘Rey Locur’ Abbouchi, Luke ‘Epic’ Verharen and commenta-tor and PWI commissioner Mi-chael Weaver have been in the region preparing for Saturday’s showdown.
“I have spoken to everyone and this is the most fun we have had (in preparation for a show),” Joel said.
Wrestling is often associat-ed with being fake but Joel said the pain is defi nitely real.
While the wrestlers have been trained professionally and know their opponents’ strengths and weaknesses, Joel said nothing can prepare you for what happens in the ring.
“It is unbelievably hard hit-ting, the injuries are real,” he said.
“I’ve got consistent prob-lems with my back, knees, neck, shoulder problems, so it is not
for everyone but it is unbeliev-ably good fun.
“There is nothing like being in front of hundreds of people under those lights, cheering you on or booing you.”
In fact, ‘Epic’ Verharen re-ceived an aneurysm from a kick to the head during an event last month and warned oth-ers to be professionally trained before participating in the sport.
“I copped a dropkick to the head and spent two weeks just sleeping,” he said.
“They did a CT scan and they said, ‘you have got three centimetres of blood in your brain that shouldn’t be there.’
“Everyone says it (wres-tling) is fake but I have three centimetres of blood in my brain to prove to you that you can get hurt very easily.”
With the wrestlers training in the region before the upcom-ing show, Joel said the response has been overwhelming.
“It (the Riverland) is an untapped resource, there are fantastic people up here (and) a fantastic atmosphere,” he said.
More than 20 wrestlers from Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, New Zealand and Greece will take part in the hard hitting event at the Berri Town Hall on Saturday night.
The Riverland Weekly is giv-ing readers the chance to win two double passes to the event.
All you have to do is be one of the fi rst two callers to phone the Riverland Weekly offi ce on 8582 5500 and mention the name of a wrestler who features in this article.

Locusts responseLocust activity has significantly increased in South Australia since Easter, with movement of locusts from south east Queensland and New South Wales. This has increased the risk of damage to early crops this season. Egg laying may pose risks of further outbreaks this spring.
The Department of Primary Industries and Resources SA is surveying key areas of the State currently experiencing heavy numbers of locusts to determine what management will be required in Spring when hoppers emerge and seek green feed. We are continuing to work with the Australian Plague Locust Commission.
It is important that landholders take action at the local level to reduce impact of the current locust infestations. Landholders should seek the assistance of a local agronomist if individual advice is needed on control and whether to sow.
Affected crop producers need to assess their situation and make local management decisions.
The PIRSA website contains important information on local control and suggested management. Information about chemicals for treating plague locusts, tailored to crops, horticulture, viticulture and livestock can be found at
www.pir.sa.gov.au/locustsOngoing surveillance is important to protect our agriculture industry.
To report locust activity please contact the PIRSA biosecurity

UP to 30 Riverland businesses have identifi ed plans to expand in the future, following a survey conducted as part of the Riverland Futures Taskforce prospectus project.
The Regional Infrastructure Audit Report, which in-volved more than 120 local busi-nesses, has high-lighted a number of barriers hold-ing back business growth in the region.
Taskforce director Peter Ackland described the identifi ed opportuni-ties for expansion as the “tip of the iceberg”.
He believes plans by small and medium sized enterprises, mainly in the hospitality and tourism sec-tor, to expand are key to the region’s
recovery.Other than the current economic
climate, access to funding to as-sist with capital expansions, infra-structure requirements, shortage of skilled staff and mentoring support were among the most common ob-stacles cited by the business sector during the survey.
“The Taskforce will now offer to meet with businesses that have taken part in the survey to work through the issues they have identifi ed,” he said.
Mr Ackland said feedback to the survey highlighted several key areas of need.
“Raising suffi cient funds to up-
grade or expand was commonplace,” he said.
Capital raising requirements ranged from tens of thousands to multi-million dollar investments in the larger projects, according to Mr Ackland.
“Many businesses clearly needed help, fi rstly identifying where they
might attract such investment and secondly, how they go about securing such funds,” he said.
“Identifying what funding levels are required and where we might be able to source some of it, is the next step in facilitating our recovery.”
Companies also highlighted in the survey a need for business men-toring and help with growth plans, strategies and business plans to gain funding.

RECENT RAINS and predicted fl oodwater have seen river levels rise at Swan Reach, reinvigorating confi dence in the local tourism sector.
With the area recently expe-riencing some of its biggest tour-ist numbers for many years, local
trade is witnessing the benefi ts, according to Swan Reach Progress Association committee member Graham Barlow.
Hundreds of locals, visitors and shack owners are enjoying the rising water levels on the riverfront and great weather on offer over the past month.
Mr Barlow said it is a joy to
see so many people in the small town.
“It was one of the biggest Eas-ter crowds we have seen down here for quite some time,” he said.
“The shops in the town and the hotel, they all would have ben-efi ted from it.”
Mr Barlow said River Murray levels have risen by 300 millime-
tres at Swan Reach, giving river users more confi dence to visit the area to participate in water sports.
“I guess a bit of extra water might have drawn them up here with their boats and jetskis,” he said.
It was reported in Adelaide media recently that due to the low water levels, houseboats had not
moored in Swan Reach for a sig-nifi cant amount of time.
Mr Barlow said that is simply not true.
“We have had houseboats coming in here and they haven’t stopped (coming in),” he said.
“Over the last few days, I have seen three or four houseboats up here.”
Many businesses needed help identifying where they might attract such investments.

Riverland Tourism Association man-ager Paula Bennet said adding extra in-centives to stays is a great way to attract people to the region.
“Deals and adding on to product is what a lot of the tourism industry does everywhere, so certainly it is something that we need to do, or at least think about doing, to keep up with what other regions are offering,” she said.
“It is called packaging and we cer-tainly encourage our operators to get into packaging and work with businesses on enhancing the visitor experience.”
With prices throughout the Riverland remaining affordable during the busy holiday breaks, Ms Bennet said value is also important.
“I know capital city businesses get questioned and queried a bit for putting up their prices (during holidays) and cer-tainly in the Riverland we do tend to have a bit of a seasonal (approach),” she said.
“There is a high season for house-boats and so forth, generally speaking the consumer is not a fan of that and will try to (plan their holiday) outside those high season prices.
“That is not necessarily a bad thing because we do want people coming outside the times where we are already packed.”
Retaining visitors in the region for more than one night is something Ms Bennet believes is vital for the area.
“It is really important to try and keep people here,” she said.
“I think it is really important to have excellent customer service.
“Many of our travellers to the Riverland are repeat travellers, so you need to make sure you are looking after your repeat travellers really, really well because they bring friends and family with them.”
Recently returning from a visit to New Zealand where she promoted the Riverland, Ms Bennet said the response was huge.
“They were overwhelmingly inter-ested in the Riverland and the Murray River,” she said.
“It is nice to see water coming through at the moment but even when that is not around, it is still a lovely, peaceful, tranquil experience.”
Holiday bargains suit budgetNew TV show discovers Riverland
By LES PEARSON
BUDGET holidays are becom-ing even more popular over re-cent years, according to Discover Down Under travel show host and former Olympic champion, Brooke Hanson.
Hanson was in the region last week fi lming for the show, which will feature an episode based on holidaying in the Riverland.
“We get to tour around the best destinations in our country and show the viewers a holiday that they can afford,” Ms Hanson said.
“That’s the best thing about Discover Down Under, it’s the affordability of a holiday and
getting back to what it was like when I was young.
“Camping and caravanning was huge in the 80s and it’s get-ting back to that popularity now.
“Younger families are see-ing it more as a budget holiday, where they can stay in a caravan park and we show them the ac-tivities they can do around the area.”
Hanson said she was thor-oughly enjoying her time fi lming the show.
“We defi nitely enjoy it,” she said.
“It’s such a fantastic lifestyle and socially, the people that we’ve met at all the different lo-cations that we’ve been to so far are just so friendly.”
The crew visited a number of Riverland holiday hotspots, in-cluding the Monash Adventure Park, Berri, Loxton, Kingston-on-Murray and the historic Overland Corner Hotel, where the crew sampled a chicken parmigiana as part of an ongoing competition throughout the series.
The competition involves sampling parmigianas from all of the locations the show visits and giving them an overall rating.
“It rated pretty well,” Ms Hanson laughed.
“I won’t give it away, so you’ll have to watch the show to see how the ‘parmy’ rating went.”
The Riverland episode is scheduled to air on Channel 9 on Saturday, June 5.
AS a baby-faced blonde, Brooke Hanson won the nation’s hearts in the pool but is now en-tering a new phase in her life.
Hanson has now had a baby and turned her attention to the small screen.
“I achieved every-thing I ever wanted, and I’m an Olympic medal-list and always will be now,” she said.
After retiring from swimming, she stud-ied journalism and still does a bit of freelance work.
She also did some minor sports commen-tating roles and guest appearances before joining lifestyle show What’s Good For You.
Hanson then did a screen test for Discover Down Under with co-host Tim Smith.
“We just hit it off re-ally well and they said ‘yeah, you’ve got the gig’ and what a great gig to have,” she said.
“I’ve always been a big talker, so I’ve never had big problems with that side of thing.
“I’ve gone from be-ing an elite athlete and having that confi dence to get up and be the best in the world to now set goals for myself as a presenter, to be the best that I can be and continue to better my-self.
“It’s nice to show another side of my personality,”

ALMOST 200 Australian Gold-wing Association (AGA) mem-bers will be attending their an-nual general meeting in the Riverland for the fi rst time this weekend.
Up to 150 of the popular Goldwing touring bikes cruised into Renmark yesterday and AGA member Paul Capper said hosting the event is “a feather in the cap” for the region.
“Normally the annual gen-eral meetings are held in the eastern states and this is a break away from tradition,” he said.
“We will see bikers from Western Australia, Northern Ter-ritory, Queensland, Tasmania and all round the country come here.”
Mr Capper, who hails from Renmark, owns a distinctive yellow Goldwing, which he has converted to a motor trike.
“The people that are in the club are very passionate about them (their bikes) and that is why they boost them up with lots of lights and chrome,” he said.
“Some of them you will see over the weekend have got side cars on them.
“Mine has been converted to a trike, so instead of a bike, mine has got two wheels at the back.”
Describing Honda’s Gold-wing as “the ultimate touring bike”, Mr Capper said he often

TEACHING dance and drama to Riverland Youth Theatre members is a long way from performing in the United Kingdom but it is a challenge Loxton based Claire Dalzell has thoroughly enjoyed.
Welsh-born Claire has been in Aus-tralia for nearly fi ve years, moving to the Riverland after meeting her husband Daniel, having grown up in the north of Wales in the United Kingdom.
She became involved with the RYT almost immediately after arriving in the region, helping out as a drama tutor and participant, using her considerable back-ground in theatre, especially dance.
“My background is mainly in dance, drama as well, but mainly in dance,” Claire said.
“I was a member of my local youth company back in Wales for seven years and I also worked in a dance class taking classes.”
Claire is only being modest when she refers to her “youth company”, as her re-sume, which features on the RYT website, is quite extensive.
From a young age, she was involved with dancing and theatre, leading to ex-periences with pantomime companies and the Welsh National Opera.
Claire studied broadcasting at uni-versity and worked for a company called SB Entertainments, assisting and leading dance and drama classes for young peo-ple, even touring a Dr Seuss production throughout the UK.
It is these experiences Claire is draw-ing on to teach young dancers at the RYT, as well as making dance as much fun as possible.
“To get the opportunity to work with people is very nice,” she said.
“The dances are by no means curricu-lum, which is what I had to do in Wales with exams, they are purely fun.”
Claire said dancing is also good for the students’ confi dence, keeping them fi t and active and even giving them a chance to listen to their favourite music.
“Dance is confi dence building and it gives the kids a chance to express them-selves, while keeping active at the same time,” she said
“We work as a team and we do it to the popular music that the kids like,” she said.
For inquiries into the RYT’s programs, phone 8586 3437.
THE Border Track is 50 kilometres of spectacular scenery through the imposing sandy dunes of Ngarkat Conservation Park.
As of April 1, this 4WD track was reopened to the public by the Department for Environment and Heritage (DEH).
Open only outside of the fi re danger season during the cooler months, the track traverses the lofty sand dunes that mark the eastern boundary of the splendid Ngarkat Conservation Park, a vast area of banksia heath, wildfl owers and whipstick mallee.
Before heading out on your ad-venture to Ngarkat, there are a few things you should know about the journey ahead.
The Border Track takes around four hours to complete.
The track is one-way only for
29 kilometres in a north-south direction, so begin your jour-ney from the north-east corner of Ngarkat Conservation Park if you wish to drive the entire track.
Driving the Border Track is a remote and challenging experi-ence, so let someone know that you are going and when you are likely to return and travel in a group if possible.
There is no phone coverage on the track and no recovery service, so all vehicles must be self suffi -cient in the event of an emergency or getting bogged.
Make sure you carry plenty of water, spare tyres, recovery gear and fi rst aid supplies.
Consider taking a satellite phone if you have one.
Damage to the Border Track
by inappropriate usage is likely to result in track closure, so treat the track kindly.
Remain in your 4WD whilst on the track, adhere to the 40 kilo-metre per hour speed limit and do not drive off the established track.
Also, reduce your tyre pres-sure; pressures of between 15 and 20psi leave the track in optimal condition and lessen the chances of becoming bogged.
Finally, check the weather be-fore leaving home.
Rainy weather can be hazard-ous and make driving the Border Track dangerous and diffi cult.
For more details, including maps, track conditions and cur-rent weather reports, call DEH on 8576 3690 or go to www.en-vironment.sa.gov.au/parks/pdfs/TRACKS_MALLEE.PDF

“It is the most amazingly comfortable bike,” he said.
“I have done it many times, jumped on the bike and gone for a 1000 kilometre ride during the day.
“It is a real love affair.”Riders from the AGA will
demonstrate their LED light fi t-ted bikes on Friday night in a display in Renmark.
The police escorted bikes will travel from the Renmark Big
4 Caravan Park at 8.30pm and travel along Pyap Street, Wattle Street, Murtho Street, James Av-enue and Meander Avenue and fi nish at the fountains near the riverfront.
On Saturday, the bikes will be on display during a parade start-ing from the caravan park, then travelling along Murray Avenue and Renmark Avenue.
Following the parade, the public can view the bikes at the Renmark Plaza, where people can mix with riders and vote for
their favourite bike.The AGM will be held on Sat-
urday afternoon at the Renmark Club.
Mr Capper said having the association in the region is also a boost to the local economy.
“A lot of these people will make it their holidays for the year and will stay for either a week or some cases even more and have a look around the area and fi nd out what else there is to do,” he said.

THE South Australian Fresh Fruit Growers Association believes a move to allow land division of horticul-tural zones will deny growers the right to farm.
Riverland coun-cils and the Riverland Futures Taskforce are considering changes to development plans to enable those exiting the industry to sell off their land and house for residential use.
Association chair-man Dino Ceracchi said there would be several major issues arise if the zoning was changed.
“We don’t want these areas built up, we want people grow-ing in there,” he said.
“We are concerned that what will happen is that there will be an intensity of residential living in a horticulture zone.”
Mr Ceracchi said problems such as noise agitation, due to early morning and late night spraying hours, is a factor that could cause distur-bance to residents liv-ing on vacated irriga-tion blocks.
“We (growers) don’t have any issues with each other so much but we have got to do our spraying and do our sprinkler work at all sorts of hours of the day and morning where weather per-mits,” he said.

AN itinerate Baptist evan-gelist has found it hard to get his message across in the Riverland town of Barmera.
In order to indulge in public preaching, Da-vid Richardson must seek a permit from the Berri Barmera Council.
However, he believes that as soon as he opens his mouth, he would be breaching the permit’s conditions.
It is proving to be an interesting test of faith in a secular world for Mr Richardson.
One particular stipu-lation of the permit is he must ask all nearby shop owners for permission to preach near their busi-nesses.
Mr Richardson did not hold much hope in being able to get a positive an-swer out of all shop own-
ers in the vicinity of the war memorial on Barwell Street.
“Sadly, I fi nd myself lacking in that area of faith,” he laughed.
Mr Richardson, who also preaches at the Syd-ney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, said he was more than willing to fol-
low local laws but found the permit’s details too restrictive.
“I’m happy to comply but as soon as I raise my voice, I am also violating
the permit’s conditions,” he said.
Another stipulation was to not offend people in the vicinity.
“Some will be offend-ed by what I have to say,” Mr Richardson said.
“The Bible says that it will offend people but I’m not here to cause offence.
“I’m just looking to give some exposure to the Christian message.”
Mr Richardson did stipulate, however, that his gripe was purely with the permit’s conditions and not council itself.
“The lady I dealt with was most helpful and I’ve been surprised at the level of co-operation I have received while I’ve been here,” he said.
Mr Richardson’s Barmera permit runs out today, although he is considering moving on and preaching in other Riverland towns.
land).”With a signifi cant
number of irrigators accepting exit grants in recent times, Mr Ceracchi said the re-gion must be careful not to lose its prime producing lands.
“Just because we are going through a tough time now, doesn’t mean that we can’t pick up our feet and grow a more viable product,” he said.
“We expect that by and large most of these properties (will) become viable properties in their own right for the fu-
ture.”Meanwhile, a
proposal from the Riverland Futures Taskforce to intro-duce a second phase Supported Exit Pack-age has attracted criticism from the Renmark Paringa Council.
The council does not support wording in the Sustainable Futures Fund Pro-posal and chief ex-ecutive offi cer Barry Hurst said it must be highlighted in the proposal that land must not be left un-productive.
“We have a prob-
lem with the current provisions of the exit package which re-quires the land to be taken out of produc-tion for fi ve years,” he said.
“Our concern is that the more land that is taken out of production in the region, the more unsustainable the re-gion could become.”
The current proposal from the Taskforce reads that a second exiting op-tion should be of-fered to growers “to provide a dignifi ed exit...to remain part of the region’s popu-
lation and continue to drive demand for service within the re-gion”.
While council supports a second exit package, Mr Hurst said it is the terms of the second exit package which must be modifi ed to keep the region’s primary producers in the region.
“We think the Riverland has a bright future and that future shouldn’t be impeded by this land being taken out of production for fi ve years,” he said.

IT IS A privilege to witness the positive changes unfolding in re-sponse to the massive challenges confronting modern agriculture.
In a classic example of the silver lining that can sometimes be found in storm clouds, two looming crises are set to trigger tremendous outcomes for the soil, the people and the planet.
The twin spectres of peak oil and global warming are prompt-ing much needed change.
Fungicides, herbicides, pesti-cides and fertilisers are all petro-chemical-based, so how does oil thirsty agriculture prosper in the face of oil prices that are destined to rise and rise?
Climate change is the other stressor.
How do we counter the profound effects of a man-made fever?
In the case of peak oil, it becomes an obvious economic imperative to reduce reliance upon petro-chemicals in agriculture and this involves the inevitable embrace of biologi-cal principles.
The climate change story is even more exciting as it may her-ald the dawn of a golden era.
Agriculture will prove the saviour here because there are no other options.
If we consider the CO2 that has been released into the atmo-sphere since 1850, we fi nd that 470 gigatonnes has come from mismanagement of our soils, via humus losses in conventional agriculture.
In that same period, the total contribution from all other human enterprise (including industry, coal fi re power stations, motor vehicles and six billion people breathing out CO2) is 260 gigatonnes.
The vast majority of the of-
fending excess in the atmosphere came from the soil and we need to return it there, as humus, as a matter of absolute urgency.
Farmers will be paid to do this and it will be the ultimate win/win because humus is the essence
of high production fertility, profi tability and sustainability.
An increase in humus means less fertilisers, less chem-
ical intervention, better water retention and a substantial overall reduction in the carbon footprint.
An average increase of one per cent organic matter, for example, would be diffi cult, but achievable (and this is actually more than what is needed to save the day).
Cellulose digesting fungi are one key to the turnaround but their numbers have been deci-mated by conventional farming practices.
When this is widely recognised, anything that com-promises the most important crea-tures on the planet at this point in time, will simply not be accept-able, and the smart operators all over the world are recognising this inevitability and initiating change.
If you would like to be better prepared for the coming biologi-cal revolution then contact Bio-Tech Organics on 8380 8554 or John Norton on 0412 305 158 for more information on the Biologi-cal approach to 21st Century farming.

DURING the three years of severe water restrictions in South Australia, soil test-ing on Riverland proper-ties has shown a general increase in soil salinity.
Many plantings are now growing on soils with salt levels that reduce the quality and yield of horti-cultural crops.
The reason for the increase is mostly due to the reduction in volume of water growers are using.
Other factors include the large scale conversion to drip irrigation systems without irrigators using adequate water.
The pressure on wine grape growers to reduce yields by reducing the amount of water applied, has particularly resulted in rapid increases in vineyard salinity levels.
Wineries are beginning to monitor fruit chloride and sodium levels in grape juice and reject fruit with excessive levels.
A recent study con-ducted by Adelaide Univer-sity has shown chloride accumulation in shiraz vines grown on K51-40 rootstock.
The study indicates that for vines irrigated with saline water, or growing with saline soil condi-tions, chloride levels are signifi cantly elevated in the grape juice.
The problem of exces-sive soil salinity is not, however, confi ned to the wine industry.
Almonds have particu-
larly high water require-ments and where growers have not applied the water volumes required, soil salinity has increased.
In addition, the yield and fruit size of many crops including citrus and stonefruit is signifi cantly reduced by high soil salin-ity levels.
Autumn and winter is a good time to monitor soil salinity and take remedial measures.
A Soil Salinity Test Kit is available from River Rain, 55-57 Renmark Av-enue, Renmark (08 8586 1271), which contains instructions and sampling
bags that allow growers to collect their own soil samples.
The soil samples are analysed at the local Agri-Exchange laboratory.
Growers can also choose to have their data interpreted by a qualifi ed Agronomist.
All interpretations are supplied in a brief report with practical recommen-dations for their property.
AgriExchange also of-fers a complete service of soil sampling, analysis and interpretation of data.

BIG River Toyota’s employees have once again proved they are dedicated to customer service after their hard work was recognised last month at the Toyota Regional Awards.
The Berri based car experts were up against Toyota Regional dealers in South Australia and the Northern Territory and won two silver, two bronze, a sales excel-lence award and, for the seventh
time, Toyota’s Regional Dealer of the Year.
Big River Toyota Dealer prin-cipal Sav Sarro said the awards were a result of the staff’s commit-ment to offer genuine care to their customers.
“It’s great to have our staff’s efforts recognised nationally by Toyota,” he said
“It’s all about our absolute commitment to meeting our cus-
tomers’ needs”To win silver excellence is a big
honour for Big River Toyota, as it was the only dealer in the state to receive these awards.
The silver winners included Mark Rudiger, David Schultz and Callan Mann in parts and acces-sories and Mick Cenko in fi nancial control.
Our sales manager Tom Babaniotis won an award in sales
excellence, with Chloe Leenders winning a bronze excellence award in customer service and Leon Menz and Mark Charlesworth winning bronze excellence in the service department.
Mr Sarro is proud that every department won an award and said it was a testament to the over-all culture of a leading dealership operation.
“We strive to do the best we
can for our customers and these awards are a direct refl ection of our customers’ feedback to Toyota,” he said
“In the end, we are not looking for awards.
“The awards are just the icing on the cake”
Big River Toyota is going strong in the Riverland and Mr Sarro would like to thank the com-munity for its ongoing support.

MOTORING MODIFIED SCENE with Graham Matthews
Vision, passion and energy needed to build local drag stripI SPOKE recently with Kingsley Kuchel, a representative of the Sunraysia Drag Racing Association, to ascertain the success and fi nan-cial outcomes of the Slamfest drag meeting held on March 20.
Some of the information is absolutely astounding.
Five additional grand-stands were erected for the event to cater for the 7500 to 8000 spectators that began arriving at 9am in the morning, even though the racing didn’t begin until noon.
The majority stayed until the fi nal Doorslammer race at 11pm and the balance were there until the racing fi nished at 1am. That meant some people were at the track for over 15 hours.
There were about 100 cars in
the various classes raced over the day and drivers and support crews for all these totalled in excess of 450.
Accommodation for these and the infl ux of spectators for the weekend resulted in accommoda-tion houses being stretched to the
limit, as was the catering
which supported local businesses and service clubs.
Kingsley said that prior to the event the local council was sup-portive but somewhat dubious as to the realisation and success of a meeting of this size.
Their doubts were well and
truly put to rest when the follow-ing week the mayor unoffi cially quoted that the Slamfest and the days prior and after returned in the vicinity of a staggering $2.5 million dollars to the Mildura economy.
The event was so successful that it’s been pencilled into the calendar for March again next year and the council has now budgeted for major upgrades to the track prior to that event. These include
concrete protec-tive barriers to replace the Armco fencing for the length of the track and the relay-ing of the fi rst 200 metres of the track with
concrete. Once these upgrades have
been completed, the club has also been assured of a round robin meeting with four of Australia’s top fuel dragsters to be run during the Slamfest next year.
In closing, Kingsley made
mention of the invaluable help the Riverland Motorsport Club members provided as volunteers over the weekend.
Their efforts were very profes-sional and highly commended by his club and their contribu-tion aided in the success of the weekend.
This experience will certainly help as they move forward with the development of their own track he said.
All I can ask is, “why do the wheels of progress turn so slowly?”
Our Riverland economy is missing out on these dollars while we procrastinate over building our own drag strip.
The Riverland Motorsport Club members have the vision, passion and energy to run the show, so come on Riverland let’s make it happen.
It will be a Riverland facil-ity run by a Riverland club, so that means the whole Riverland should get behind it, including the Loxton Waikerie and Renmark Paringa councils, as they are part of the Riverland also.
THE 2010 Riverland Weekly All Cars Day will be held again in Barmera on Sunday, June 20.
Riverside Rodders will orga-nise the event, while the families and students of Barmera Primary School will look after the catering and activities on the day.
In 2009, the majority of
entrants were from the Riverland with a few others travelling from Mildura, Adelaide and Murray Bridge, so following this success invitations are being distributed further afi eld this year.
Once again hot rods, vintage cars, street machines, classics, sports cars, performance cars and
modern contemporary vehicles will be invited to participate but all vehicles entered must be registered.
It doesn’t matter what class your vehicle fi ts into, just as long as it’s special to the owner and of interest to others.
This is not a day for polish,
mirrors and fencing as there will be no offi cial show judges in sight.
An award for best in each class will be selected by our fel-low car enthusiast peers, as well as other awards by various guest personalities and the general public.
Further information will be publicised through the Riverland Weekly and other media outlets over the coming weeks but in the meantime should anyone require further information or have an interest in assisting with sponsor-ship, please contact me on 8588 7169 or 0419 807 837.

FROM humble beginnings in Renmark, Rosenthals have been sell-ing vehicles to the Riverland for over 100 years.
While it would be easy for the Rosenthal family to take the loyalty of the region’s motoring public for granted after all of that time, that is certainly not the case.
The new Rosenthals dealership, owned and operated by brothers Jim and Phil Rosenthal, on the Old Sturt Highway at Berri provides ample evidence that the 100 per cent locally owned family business is here to stay and working for its valued custom-ers.
The dazzling new multi-million dollar development opened for the fi rst time last week and staff have been busy dealing with customer enquiries since.
Some of the dealership’s star-tling design features include the Riverland’s largest new and used car display, large front windows provid-ing excellent views into the classy showroom and plenty of natural light.
The 1200 square metre show-room features new Holden, Mazda and Mitsubishi vehicles, while a Hyundai showroom is also nearing completion.
Customers to the extremely successful multi faceted Rosenthal Automotive business will be greeted by highly visible staff and adminis-tration areas, along with a state of art coffee machine and lounge area.
Along with product satisfaction, customer comfort is an important part of the Rosenthals experience.
A kids play area is also available for use by customers.
Visitors will also notice the show-room’s beautifully designed history wall which depicts the beginnings of the Rosenthal motor business.
And while all the trimmings have been provided in the deluxe front of house area, no expense has been spared out the back in the mo-tor technicians’ workshops either.
From purchase through to regu-
lar servicing by the Rosenthals team, the new site ensures the customer is getting the best treatment available.
Purchasing a car is an experience and your transportation decisions are a major life milestone.
Rosenthals has witnessed many of these milestones over the past 100 years and the Riverland based third generation family business will be here for many, many more years to come.

Jim and Phil Rosenthal his bosses, he considers them his friends.
So, it is with great delight that he has joined them on the latest stage of the Rosenthals journey.
Unabashedly he describes the new premises as like coming “from a general store to a supermarket”.
“This is a fantastic upgrade to the services the business can provide,” he said.
John said while he always looked forward to going to work each day, the new dealership made it an even more enjoyable daily experience for himself.
“It’s (the new development) like an old pair of shoes,” John explained.
“They feel comfortable but then you buy a new pair and it feels so much better.”
Phil admits the move should have happened fi ve years ago as the company was overdue for an expan-sion.
Jim describes the move as a new lease of life.
It is a lease of life that has seen a site change and a name change from the old familiar Rosenthal World of Motoring to Rosenthal Automo-tive; however, as John pointed out, “it may be a new location but you still get the same friendly staff and service”.
Phil believes that his forebears would be very proud of the direction that has been taken by the com-pany under the guidance of Jim and himself.
“I’m sure that we have done something of which grandpa Mick would approve of,” he said.
“This is very much about continuing the tradition of quality service and customer care that was set up by Mick and then his sons Ron and Doug.
“You don’t build up a business over 100 years without learning a thing or two about making the customer happy and bringing them back to us again.”

The company’s fresh start, merging its Berri and Renmark operations, provides a chance for Rosenthal Automotive to look forward.

business must refl ect on what has made it so successful, in order to not lose the valued loyalty of its Riverland customers.

MICK Rosenthal was the founder of Rosenthals at Renmark in 1908.
Mick sold and serviced pushbikes and was an avid bike road racer.
Mick’s two sons Ron and Doug followed him and ran the businesses, expanding into two other Riverland towns of Berri and Barmera.
Today the current and third generation joint dealer principals are brothers Jim and Phil Rosenthal.
Over the years, the Rosenthal dealerships at Berri and Renmark have won numerous awards from all manufacturers, including Holden’s Grand Master award.
Holden only award Grand Mas-ters to their top 30 national dealers.
Rosenthals have also been awarded the Time Magazine, Dealer of the Year for Australia.
With the opening of the new dealership and the combining of the
Berri and Renmark outlets, the busi-ness name has been changed from Rosenthal’s World of Motoring to Rosenthal Automotive.
It is time to start a new chapter in the unique history of this well known and respected Riverland business.

A PROJECT the size of the new Rosenthal Automotive dealer-ship at Berri could not have been built without the support of quality contractors.
Signifi cantly all of the contractors employed for the massive job came from the Riverland.
The stunning development was project managed by Hand Built.
Rosenthal Automotive joint owner/operators Jim and Phil Rosenthal were very vocal in praising the work of one of the region’s most innovative busi-nesses.
“Mark Hand and Gary Schultz and site manager Colin Bilske have done a fantastic job,” Phil Rosenthal said.
“Colin has done an excep-tional job and we couldn’t be happier with the quality work-manship displayed.
“We’ve not had a building issue to speak of in six months of construction.”
The Rosenthal brothers were
Stunning project completed with local contractors
also keen to acknowledge the work of a number of other local tradespeople for the work carried out during the multi-million dollar development.
All air-conditioning was completed by Devilee’s, Neville Chamberlain undertook the massive plumbing job, while Hoffmann Engineering did the
construction.Brett Hammerstein
completed the massive concreting job.
Jim and Phil Rosenthal hope the contractors involved in the development of the new Rosen-thal Automotive dealership have gained as much pride from the completed project as they have.

any new development there are many requirements that have to be met.
Among them are environ-mental and work, health and safety requirements.

WITH Rosenthal Automotive joining several other dealer-ships in the region’s ‘Auto Al-ley’ on the Old Sturt Highway at Berri, there is no reason for you, the driving public, to leave the region when considering the purchase of a new car.
Rosenthal Automotive’s new state of the art dealership is fi ve car yards in one with Holden, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Hyundai and used cars all on the huge lot.
The new facility accom-modates over 100 new and used vehicles and is not only
the Riverland’s largest car display area but country South Australia’s.
In fact, Rosenthal Automo-tive would rival many of the city’s highest profi le dealer-
ships.Including show-
rooms and work-shops, the dealer-ship is 3000 square metres.
Third generation owner/operator Phil Rosenthal said the dealership is the end result of a vision developed from an
extensive tour of some of the best car yards on Australia’s east coast.

Business owner/operators Jim and Phil Rosenthal are still very proud of their Renmark history and are maintaining a part of the busi-ness in that town.
Rosenthal Automotive custom-ers can still have their vehicle ser-viced at the premises on the cor-
ner of Ral Ral Avenue and Murtho Street.
“We will continue to offer the full services on all Holden, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Hyundai vehicles with factory back-up on those brands,” Phil said.
“Plus we have the ability to ser-vice and maintain all other makes and models.”
Other services still available at the Renmark site include SGIC,
Phil said the changes may take some time to adapt to but were necessary for the business’ develop-ment.
“I am extremely proud of our new service centre in Renmark as it will, together with the new Berri dealership, offer customers a new level of service and customer care.”

“We visited about 30 dealerships in total to get in our heads what we wanted to build.
“That was the best thing we did because to get away and have a look at the new dealerships was bril-liant.”
Now, Phil and his joint owner/operator brother Jim would proudly show off their ‘baby’ to anyone in the industry keen to undertake a development of their own.
“We couldn’t be happier with the design,” Jim said.
“It’s friendly, welcoming and really airy.”
The dealership has been de-signed with both staff and custom-ers in mind.
It provides customers with a new level of air-conditioned comfort and convenience.
There are customer waiting lounges, which incorporate coffee making facilities, throughout the building.
And among the other highlights is that there is ample and easy park-ing so that you can get out and see the wide range and number of cars on display.
The vehicle workshop is com-pletely state of the art and features 10 hoists, a four post wheel aligner and on-line factory communication.
The workshop fi t out includes all of the latest and newest equipment to service your vehicle.
Rosenthal Automotive also features a full spare parts depart-ment, housing the required parts
for Holden, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Hyundai, all serviced by long term experienced staff.
There is also a full range of the highly popular Holden apparel on display and available for purchase.
The new dealership only opened last Monday but Phil said the move has been successful right from the kick off.
“We’re already seeing the ben-efi ts, the inquiry factor is keeping us very busy,” he said.
Rosenthal Automotive looks forward to the public being able to have a proper look at the new mod-ern facilities at tomorrow night’s offi cial opening (from 6.30pm). Families are encouraged to attend the opening, with fi reworks con-cluding the celebrations at about 7.30pm.

THE question “why move” has been asked of Jim and Phil Rosenthal many times since news broke that they were merging their longstanding Rosenthal family Renmark and Berri based motoring opera-tions to a new facility.
The third generation Rosenthal brothers, business partners, debated that same question themselves prior to embarking on the ambitious development at the Old Sturt Highway, Berri.
Why would you give up the tradition and central loca-tions in Berri and Renmark?
Ultimately, the passing of time made the decision to move inevitable.
The businesses simply out-grew their former locations, while motoring trends mean that ‘Auto Alleys’, where con-sumers can look at cars in one busy strip, are now the trend among motor dealerships.
Ultimately, the move was about customer comfort and giving consumers the best pur-chasing experience possible.
Rosenthal Automotive now has a one stop shop for its new and used cars, including its Holden, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Hyundai dealerships.
“The impetus was that we (Jim and Phil) both had old, out dated facilities in the centre of town which had massive customer parking problems and service issues,” Phil Rosenthal said.
“It was time to take the
next step.”And take the next step they
did, undertaking the biggest construction project the family had been involved with in around half a century.
Clearly, it was a wrench to move from the traditional centres in Berri and Renmark, which were so deeply en-twined in the family’s history but it was necessary.
Rosenthals had been based at Renmark since 1908, while the Berri site had been used since 1923.
“We were very conscious that we had strong roots in both towns and we didn’t want to offend any of our loyal customers but we had to take this step,” Phil said.
“We probably should have done it fi ve years ago.
“We were well overdue.”So, once the decision was
made it was important to make sure that the business’ loyal customers did not feel put out by the changes.
The majority of the com-pany’s 40 staff are now based at the shiny new Berri facility, in addition, the Renmark service centre has also been upgraded.
Maintaining the business in Renmark was vital to the company and the site, includ-ing the workshop, is a modern service centre.
“In Renmark, we are still offering full workshop facilities and services, includ-ing RAA Roadside Assistance,
Moving brings exciting new synergies

spare parts and SGIC,” Phil said.The new dealership also
continues to offer these services, along with a variety of others, including a new Bridgestone Tyre Service agency.
Therefore, while vehicles are being serviced new tyres can be fi tted too.
Due to the site’s location on the fringes of Berri, the company
has also purchased a courtesy bus, to ferry people between the dealership and the town centres.
The new location is a bonus for customers looking for a vehicle.
The major highlight, of course, is the large number of vehicles on display but a further plus is the design means that they are accessible to the cus-
tomer 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
A customer sales pod is in the process of being completed in the centre of the used car lot. All enquiries can be carried out in the outdoor offi ce, rather than walking up to the main build-ing.
“This is all providing customers with a nicer buying
experience,” Phil said.“We picked the best of the
designs from other car yards and incorporated their design to ben-efi t our customers,” Jim added.
“It’s very important to be customer friendly and this site is.
“We look forward to shar-ing it with the people of the Riverland for many years to come.”

makes and models.

On the outer boundary within this 12½ acre prop-erty, individual personal paddocks with stables/shel-ters, tack room, hay shed and the chicken house all
add to the country eques-trian scene.
The chef’s kitchen is spaciously roomy com-prising of two dishwasher drawers, a walk in pantry, plus heaps of cupboards for the largest hoarder, stain-less steel gas cook top with overhead exhaust canopy, under bench oven and over-looks the outdoor dining or entertaining choices which include paved undercover areas, or surround your-selves around the sunken fi re pit for the chilly nights or persistent party people that is close to the rustic corrugated iron shed that has the bar for sharing the jokes over a few bourbons and beers.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSSWITH GRAHAM CHARLTON The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...
■ LOXTON Boxing and Fitness Club chief Phillip Goodes leaves with a group of eight fi ghters tomorrow, bound for a tourna-ment in Canberra at the Woden Tradies Club.
The party comprises locals Ryan Goodes, Matthew Wilson, Ashley Bobbin and Liam Bob-bin, with three from Adelaide and another from the Barossa.
According to Goodes, his own boxers will take good form with them as “last weekend we almost had our own competi-tion at the Loxton gym, so good was the sparring”.
He was referring to some of the action at a successful Boxing
SA National Training Identifi ca-tion and Development camp he had organised which attracted about 40 participants, including coaches.
Goodes’ contacts through his offi cial role with Boxing Austra-lia led to Brad Hore, who rep-resented Australia twice in both Olympic and Commonwealth games and is currently working at the Institute of Sport in Can-berra, making a trip to Loxton to head the camp.
Hore was inspirational and his expertise in instructing on the various styles and skills currently being employed in the sport around the world proved benefi -
cial to those who attended. Phillip is convinced the pro-
gram will increase the standard of boxing in this state and in-tends to hold more camps of a similar nature at his gym in the future.
Boxers and coaches from Adelaide, Barossa, Mildura, Port Pirie and the new Renmark club attended.
Hore was also obviously im-pressed by the event, as he con-tacted Goodes after the weekend to praise the camp and thank him for the opportunity to par-ticipate.
The absence of Phillip Goodes’ squad to Canberra will
mean Loxton will not have a fi ghter on the card at a tourna-ment being held simultaneously in Mount Gambier.
However, the Goodes family will still be represented in the South East as Phillip’s wife, Ali-son will be there in her position as president of Boxing SA.
Alison took the the position on a temporary basis last year but was elected unanimously into the permanent role earlier this year.
Apparently the majority of her committee are women and those in the know report that Boxing SA is in extremely good hands.
■ WOMEN’S senior soc-cer becomes a fi ve team competition, as it enters its second season, with Barmera entering a side for 2010.
Several training camps and clinics over the summer months for women have im-proved skill levels and over-all knowledge of the game considerably.
The 2010 season starts this Sunday at Renmark’s Steve Poutakidis Sports Ground, with the senior men’s divi-sion also increased to six teams with the committment from Loxton to enter a side.
Mark Kershaw is Loxton’s coach and he will welcome any new players to the club.
Nick Sotiroulis remains at the helm at Renmark Olympic as it chases a fourth straight league title, while Renmark Development will be headed by Daniel Clark.
At Berri, Adrian Pipe
takes up the senior coaching role, while at a very enthusi-astic Barmera, the Gold side will be handled by Kevin Barber and Black by Theo Gaitantzis.
As far as the teams’ play-ing ranks are concerned, Olympic have apparently lost some key personnel, including Rohan Vardaro, and there have been some reports concerning Anthony Ielasi’s plans with Barmera in 2010.
The popularity of the small sided concept sees growing numbers in the 6/8 years age group, nine teams will be in Under 13 and four, Loxton, Renmark, Berri and Barmera in Under 16.
Senior men’s matches for the opening round are Barmera Black versus Berri, Barmera Gold against Loxton (1.15pm), Renmark Olympic versus Development (3pm).

Successful autumn bowls■ ON THE bowls front, Renmark has just completed another successful au-tumn carnival with bowlers from all over the state competing, after last week around 100 people were entertained at Barmera during their fi ve day autumn carnival.
Organisers were “over the moon” with the full greens every day.
Next week sees a four day event being run at Berri (contact Ken Stokes 8582 2937), followed up by what many judges say is one of the highlights of the autumn calendar - the Moorook Cosmo Fours.
This normally fi lls very quickly but you could try Neil Pollard 8583 9198 to see if there are any spots still open.
Last weekend, Moorook held the annual Moorook versus Kingston chal-lenge fundraiser for Legacy.
I am told that around $300 was raised for a great cause.
Meanwhile, Andrew Hill (Berri) teamed up with Margaret Cooper from Hope Valley (ex Berri) to make it through to the semi-fi nals of the state mixed pairs competition last weekend in Adelaide.
Unfortunately they went down 15-13 in an extremely tight affair.
Former umpire’s new lease on life
■ REMEMBER our story on former long serving football umpire Greg Reeks and the start he had made to a new rowing career.
Although he had been a member of the Berri Rowing Club for only a mat-ter of days, he was attacking training like there was no tomorrow and immediate-ly wondering what he had to do to get his photo amongst others on the club-house wall.
Well, I gather Reeksy’s photo is to be mounted there after only four months of taking up the oars in competition.
And no, it will not depict Greg fall-ing out of the boat, or losing his seat at the start of a race but as a member of a winning crew.
Yes, he, along with stroke Paul Othams, Andrew Vowles, Bill Othams (on loan) and cox Aileen Phillips won a third grade quad at a Riverside regatta at West Lakes a couple of weeks ago.
With the season about to end, Greg will now be amongst six or so Berri row-ers to take part in the SA Masters titles back at West Lakes on May 1.
As an aside, I am also reliably in-formed that Reeksy is sticking to his school teaching profession and that there is absolutely no truth to reports that he is to enter into business as a bi-cycle repairer.
Skinner welcomes back Riverland cycling event
■ THE Norwood Cycling Club’s race director for the annual Tour of the Riverland was in the region last week making preliminary arrangements for the 2010 weekend, over May 29/30.
The 36th Riverland cycling weekend will be hosted for the 36th time by the Berri Resort Hotel.
And it will be directed for the 36th year by one Mr Barry Skinner.
Yes, that’s right, after he assured me I could announce his retirement from the role after the 2009 event and even name his replacement, Rod Anderson, he chose to do ‘a Macarthur’ and return.
The reason? Anderson received a promotion shortly after accepting the Norwood job and his new duties in-clude random overseas travel, some-times at short notice, so he retired from the Riverland gig even before he had started.
After speaking to Barry during his visit, I quickly gathered his enthusiasm for the Riverland weekend is as great as ever.
He is always seeking sponsorship and has some excellent opportunities for businesses to promote themselves via this major Riverland event.

The number of teams competing in the women’s soccer competition this year.
Everyone knew the rules. The line was put in the sand in 2002 with what happened with the Bulldogs. ~ Dr Ron Moodie 5 SPORT
NAME: JAKE LANGDON
RISING STAR AWARD
BERRI’S Jake Langdon has been awarded the Riverland Weekly’s round two Rising Star nomination.
Jake had an excellent four quarter game against Waikerie on Saturday at league head-quarters.
He accumulated plenty of the ball while shutting down dangerous opponent Nathan Tape.
Jake is playing top football at the moment and relishing his leadership role in the A grade team.
JAKE LANGDON IS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR A
PERPETUAL TROPHY AND PRIZEMONEY
Hockey action returns to
Glassey Park■ THE 2010 hockey season starts tomorrow night at Glassey Park.
Senior teams for both the men’s and women’s competitions will continue to come from Berri, Loxton, Renmark and Waikerie.
At executive level, the presi-dent’s chair has been taken over by experienced player-coach-ad-ministrator Brett Stokes, who re-places Renmark’s David Benda, while Teresa Shawyer is secretary.
Chatting to Brett over the weekend, it seems that the highly promoted zonal competitions of the past few seasons may be scrapped by Hockey SA.
Remember the zonal approach to ‘a talent identifi cation op-eration’ replaced the old country championships which Riverland was part of for many years.
Riverland-Barossa, in fact, won the men’s zone champion-ship last season.
Now a number of new ideas are on the table, including a com-petition incorporating all of the premiership winning teams from the various associations.
I asked Brett what would hap-pen to players from other teams who were up to state country representation and he said there was talk of the premiers ‘drafting’ players from rival clubs for the event.
A bit messy and good luck.Another suggestion is that
either individual associations or zones play in a pre-season car-
nival that also involved Premier League clubs from Adelaide.
As I understand it, the purpose of ‘talent identifi cation’ is to fi nd players for the SA Country side and to give Hockey SA and city clubs a better grasp on who with any real talent is running around in the country.
And there have been certainly some promising youngsters doing just that, including Berri sisters Karri and Merinda McMahon and Loxton pair Steven Trezise and Matt Hammond who have just returned from national carnivals with SA under 18 teams.
The women’s team played on world class facilities in Port Lin-coln.
SA fi nished fi fth in the eight team competition and Karri and Merinda were both amongst the better performers as the team saved their best for last.
After winning one, drawing two and giving the strong NSW side a fright in the seven round robin matches, SA won both divi-sion two fi nals over Northern Ter-ritory (4-1) and against Tasmania (1-0) as they fi nished powerfully.
Victoria won the champion-ship defeating Queensland, previ-ously undefeated, in the fi nal.
Karri McMahon, who moved to Adelaide this year to study para-medics at Flinders University and to play at top level with Adelaide, has only recently been named in a squad of 22 to represent the state
in the Australian Hockey League season.
Merinda is also playing Sun-day matches for Adelaide when she is able to travel.
Vice captain Steven ‘Mango’ Trezise and Matt Hammond were part of one of the state’s best ever efforts at men’s under 18 level when their team fi nished third in Canberra.
SA won four of seven lead up round robin matches to fi nish on 12 points behind Queensland (17), NSW (15) and Tasmania (14).
Then in the semi-fi nals it went down to eventual cham-pion Queensland (2-5) but then clinched third by crushing Tasma-nia (who it had lost against nar-rowly 3-4 in round two) 4-0 on the last day.
Queensland won 5-3 over NSW in the overall fi nal.
By the way, Brett Stokes is in for a busy season in view of his many roles in the sport.
He is coach of the SA Coun-try men’s side which has held its selection trials and the squad, to be announced shortly, will train in Adelaide in July in preparation for the nationals to be hosted by the Australian Defence Force in Canberra from August 28.
Then he will have another trip to Fiji, hopefully with no cyclones this time, as coach of the Austra-lian under 21 team at the Pacifi c Cup competition.
■ EARLIER this year, in an arti-cle on the 48th Australian Multi Class National Championships being held at the Waikerie Glid-ing Club, I acknowledged the exceptional efforts of a number of the organisation’s stalwarts in making the event happen in such a professional manner.
Missing from that list was Mark Morgan and to anyone familiar with the club’s opera-tions that would have been a surprise.
But no mystery really. Mark, simply, was not about.
He was in Santiago, Chile, acting as crew for former Riverland anesthetist Graham Parker who was competing in the FAI World Sailplane GP fi -nals.
Parker, who was a member of the Renmark Gliding Club, now lives in Adelaide, fl ies with the Adelaide Soaring Club near Gawler and is one of Australia’s most respected glider pilots.
He started fl ying in 1977 with the Adelaide University Gliding Club and from the late 1970s to early 1980s competed in many club class competi-tions.
After that he turned to study but resumed fl ying with an LS4 in 1992 and has gone on to compete in a number of multi-class National competitions graduating through ASW24, ASW27 and ASG 29 classes.
In all he has won fi ve na-tional titles in various classes
and up until January, when he did not defend his title at Waikerie, he was the current 18 metre champion.
Apart from his appearance in Chile this year, he also rep-resented Australia at the World Championships in South Africa (2001) and in Germany (2008).
A highlight of those two ap-pearances were two ‘day wins’.
Parker’s name is often ranked with other top Austra-lian glider pilots such as David Jansen, John Buchanan, Paul Mander and Bruce Taylor.
It is therefore testimony to the ability of Mark, Waikerie’s chief fl ying instructor, that he was invited to crew for Parker in Chile.
Mark has been fl ying his own glider for 30 years and also runs his own glider repair busi-ness, Morgy’s Glider Works.
He considers himself fortu-nate to have been able to learn his trade virtually at his home club, fi rstly through his asso-ciation with a previous mainte-
nance engineer Bob Martin and also via guidance from one of the most respected men in the sport, the highly credentialed German Rudi Gassmauier who was a member at Waikerie at the time.
“Even when the Gliding Federation of Australia has a rel-evant problem they ring Rudi,” he says. “He is that good, that well respected.”
Mark worked in the indus-try in Japan in 1997 and 1998, returned to continue the follow-ing year but after about a month went as crew for that country’s team at the Pre-World champi-onships in Barruth, Germany.
He was with Graham Parker at the Pre-Worlds in Lusse, Ger-many, in 2007 and at the actual world titles at the same venue in 2008.
Now the pair is due to team up again in July for the World championships in Sege, Hun-gary.
Speaking to another stalwart at Waikerie, Bill Mudge, who
instructed Morgan in fl ying all those 30 years ago, I gathered his former pupil is recognised as the best engineer on gliders in Australia.
“His overall knowledge in gliders of all types results in aircraft coming to him from throughout Australia for atten-tion,” he said.
“He is also called on to is-sue certifi cation to satisfy Aus-tralian requirements when new aircraft arrive in this country,” he added.
“He has handled four such cases in recent years.”
On another matter, Bill said that since the January nation-als at Waikerie there had been a big increase in the number of people wanting to learn to fl y at the club.
“We should have some eight new pilots by the end of the year,” he said.
“I am currently working with three full time students and have others waiting in the wings.”
Former local fl ies through Chilean skies

Bergen’s sister Renae won the ladies competi-tion and fi nished seventh overall with a 170/200.
“That’s damn good shooting,” Mr Hansen said.
Of the locals, Rob Shawyer had an excellent weekend, claiming 28th overall with a 161/200.
Field and Game
Federation of Australia president Tony Trevor-row ended up in 74th while youngster Kailan Markham, at just 14, out-shot both his parents to place 103rd overall and eighth in the junior cat-egory.
“That’s some fi ne shooting from such a young lad,” Mr Hansen said.
Best of the local ladies
was Deanna Vanderzalm who fi nished sixth in the category, while Alicia Austin (ninth), Jo Brown (10th) and Sheryl Beer (11th) also shot well.
“Alicia surprised a few as she has only shot about three times in the past few years,” Mr Hansen said.
It was a huge weekend for the tiny club, with vol-unteers fl ocking to the re-gion from Adelaide, Yorke
Peninsula and Victoria to help with the high de-mand on the club’s mem-bers.
“Without people like that, these events would never happen,” Mr Han-sen said.
He said it was an hon-our to host such a presti-gious event.
“Defi nitely, it was a huge thing for us, espe-cially because we’re such
a small club,” Mr Hansen said.
With interna-tional shooters travelling from the likes of New Zealand and New Caledonia, as well as inter-state, Mr Hansen said it was a great opportunity to showcase the best of Riverland tourism.
“There was a large New Zea-land contingent here and they had a ball,” he said.
“Being a long weekend, we used it as a bit of an opportunity to get people out and look around the place at win-eries, do a bit of touring.”
The club also handed out showbags at the na-tionals event held earlier in the year, to help pro-mote the region’s tourist attractions.
“We ended up with 159 shooters here, so it’s been good for the River-land,” Mr Hansen said.
With a spot of rain on Friday night to settle the dust and the locusts, Mr Hansen said the event turned out to be a fantas-tic success.
“It all came togeth-er and became a great shoot,” he said.
“The shooters from overseas thought it was great.”

Match of the round
Loxton v Barmera/MonashTOP of the table Loxton faces a genuine challenge this week after two relatively easy wins in the opening rounds.
Barmera-Monash fell just short against Berri in round one and accounted for that loss with a confi dent win over Loxton North last week.
Recruits Jake Lynch, Darren Perry and Simon Maddern have all had solid starts to the sea-son, while youngsters Matt Leigh and Chris Bonney have been fi nd-ing plenty of it.
With Raph Liddle back in Tiger colours, things are looking up for Loxton.
While the veterans continue to hold the team together, the young up and comers like Pe-ter Fisher and Braden Kurtzer have stepped up so far this year.
Barmera-Monash have been rebounding from defence well, set-ting up attacks from the half back fl ank.
The Roos simply block up that half back line with an infl ux of midfi elders and tall de-fenders, getting num-bers to the contest and breaking back through the centre corridor.
Loxton will need to be wary of this and look to either switch the play or get the ball deep into
attack as quickly as possible.The Tigers took until the last quarter to
fi nally kick away from a gallant Renmark side, they will want to be far more lethal earlier in the match if they are to get away with a win this weekend.
Loxton’s forward structure might take some reshuffl ing for this weekend’s clash, while the Roos will be looking to get the ball in long to the height of Josh Buchecker, Rob Price and Aaron Net-telbeck.
It should be a great hit-out but we’ll go with the Roos to get up by about 10 points af-ter a long struggle.
The other matches
WAIKERIE should defeat a struggling Loxton North outfi t after falling in the last quarter to the Demons last week.
Berri also face Renmark at home, with the Rovers search-ing for their fi rst win of the season, while the Demons will be look-ing to make it three in a row for the fi rst time in a long spell.

Eagles aim to tame young Tigers
Match of the round
East Murray v CobdoglaEAST Murray’s imports Michael Kirk, Sam Hoffmann and Josh Norman immediately made an impact in their team’s convincing round one win against Moorook-Kingston, sending a message to the rest of the compe-tition that it is a contender this season.
Cobdogla easily accounted for an un-dermanned Ramco last weekend, with playing/coach Darrell Tilbrook proving he is still a dominant force, booting 11 goals.
The Eagles have one of the strongest attacks in the competition, so expect Troy Dawson and Darren Starkey to be consis-tent scorers this season.
East Murray youngster Zac Schubert is a handy inclusion into the side, boosting height stocks, while David Andriske is an experienced ball winner.
With several players missing from the Eagles’ team in round one, including Deane Mitchell, Luke Hefford, Leon Hen-derson, Zac Walker and Rob Smyth, they will certainly be around the mark again this season.
There is depth in this year’s Tiger camp but whether they can match it with the seasoned fi nals campaigners is another question.
In a relatively close contest, Cobdogla will hold on to win against an improving East Murray.
The other matches
IN other fi xtures, the reigning premiers Paringa, take on the competition’s new comers in what will be a match watched with much interest.
Blanchetown/Swan Reach is an un-known quantity but expect Matt Griffi ths and captain Brett Gierke to feature.
The Swans are a solid unit with Chris Gardner, Dom Portolesi and captain An-drew Lloyd to guide them to a 10 goal win over the Redbacks.
Despite a fi rst up loss, Wunkar will rebound to beat Moorook-Kingston by a hefty margin.
Although Darran van der Woude will work hard for the Warriors.
Lyrup is another of the big improvers this season after a demolition of Brown’s Well in round one.
Up against a developing Ramco, the Lions will come out on top with a fi ve goal win.
Nathan Willmott is set for a big year up forward and Adam Caputo has had plenty of the footy early.

Roos look for two on the
hop at Loxton
Match of the round
Karoonda V BDTKAROONDA and BDT have been impres-sive in their opening fi xtures and this top of the table clash is a chance for one team to claim the outright number one spot on the ladder.
For BDT, recruit Matthew Sampson has been the spark at half forward and Josh Keller and Luke Remfry have been ball magnets.
With Karoonda possibly missing Luke Hocking, BDT will be too strong and win easily.
Pinnaroo v MurrayvilleAN inconsistent Murrayville will be hop-ing to bounce back after last round’s big loss.
The Supa Roos will miss Thomas Ke-
ogh, who will return to West Adelaide, but Wade Nickolls and Brad Sheridan are class that could fi ll his loss.
Alex Keogh is becoming more con-sistent and Chris Reid has been a handy recruit.
The difference in this match is up for-ward and Murrayville has too many op-tions.
Lameroo v PeakeA SOLID win over Pinnaroo last round has Lameroo in a good position coming into its match up against Peake.
Brad Zerk and Chris Philbey missed last week and will be big inclusions if they return this week.
Peake is still searching for its fi rst win and need continued service from Scott Crouch and Chad Freak.
Lameroo will beat the league cellar dweller in comfortable fashion.
BDT look too strong for ‘Pies

YOUNG singing sensation Kristal Collins headlines a list of quality performers taking to the stage at this Saturday’s inaugural Lam-eroo Country Music Festival.
It will be the fi rst time the bubbly 20 year old has performed in the Mallee.
“I’m a bit excited,” she said.With her second EP fast near-
ing release, Collins is fast build-ing a reputation in the Austra-lian music circuit as one of the promising up and comers in the industry.
With eight years of perform-ing behind her already, her pro-fessionalism shines through in her shows, which cater for a broad audience.
“I do everything really,” she laughed.
“If you come to one of my shows, ex-pect to hear a good mix of originals and covers.
Collins said she also takes some pop and rock songs and “tweaks” them with a bit of country.
Some exam-ples include Ride The Night Away by Jimmy Barnes, Run To Paradise by the Choirboys and even Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry.
Collins said while her music is classed as country, she tends to relate her style to artists such as Martina McBride and Taylor Swift
“I do a lot more contemporary coun-try, because that’s what I am,” she said.
While some art-ists like to write mu-sic to their lyrics or vice-versa, Collins said she can really go either way but there’s one habit she cannot break.
“All of my songs refl ect what’s going on in my life,” she said.
Her inspiration
comes from both the way she is feeling, to people she has met and places she has been.
“I also keep my phone on me at all times, so if I hear or think of a lyric I can write it down straight away,” she said.
Currently locked away in the small Northern Territory town of Mataranka working during the tourist season, Collins said her busy lifestyle tends to mean she isn’t a regular performer at coun-
try music festivals.The opportunity to play at
Lameroo, though, was too good to pass up.
“I tend to do a lot of concerts on my own with my band but I would love to do more festivals,” she said.
To catch Kristal Collins in show, get on down to the Lam-eroo Country Music Festival this Saturday, being held at the com-munity’s town hall.
W H A T ’ S O NEntertainment
The 7pm Project7pm, WIN 10I can’t believe how long this show has lasted and credit to all involved.
I originally gave it about as much chance of surviving as the Adelaide Crows have of kicking the ball once every quarter, yet they seem to have come up with the goods.
Not the Crows, The 7pm Project.
It’s going to be a long season.
Survivor: Heroes v Villians8.30pm, WIN 9I’m sensing fan favourite Russell is deeper in the poo than a zoo keeper’s elephant thermometer.
But fear not, as I believe Russell could survive a nuclear meltdown in much the same way a cockroach can.
In fact, it would not surprise me if Russell’s parents were a cockroach and a snake. Awkward conception though.
Essendon v Hawthorn6.30pm, WIN 10Brad Sewell had his chops busted up by the velvet sledgehammer Matty Lloyd last year, sparking yet another fierce scrap between these two clubs.
They meet again this Saturday night in what is sure to be yet another intense clash.
Ahh, sporting related violence.
Lap it up like sweet, sweet nectar.
Logies7.30pm, WIN 9The awards honouring the best in Aussie entertainment are on again this year.
You would almost be tentative in winning one of these awards, given their strange name.
The word ‘Logie’ is so close to ‘loogie’, it is almost like winning a giant piece of booger. Congratulations! Here’s a tissue to wrap it up in.

1st Glee
8pm, WIN 10Cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester returns after her suspension and is back to being a first class pain in the...
Finn and Rachel are now dating, but it seems Finn might not be over his ex, Quinn.
Fair enough too. Who cares if she got preggers with one of his mates? Idiot!
What a Girl Wants8.40pm, WIN 9You can’t make a movie like this unless it is able to be changed at the viewer’s discretion.
Let’s face it, what a girl wants changes by the hour, if not the minute.
Present a girl with a menu, sometimes even they don’t know what they want.
Right now though, it appears it might be Justin Bieber.
The Dog Squad7.30pm, WIN SACorrections Officer Maurice and his trusty shorthaired pointer, Ted, are called in to screen the prison mailroom where Ted spots two suspicious packages.
An interesting fact is, the cabinet where all confiscated mail in prisons is kept is where the term ‘filing cabinet’ was developed, due to all the files being smuggled in to prisons. Not really.
■ TASTE: Glee heart-throb Finn is now dating Rachel, a big step down from ex Quinn.

By LES PEARSON
IN a tense fi nish to three days of competition, Mel-burnian Socrates Pilipasidis pipped current world cham-pion Damien Burgen at the post in what was a clash of the titans at the weekend’s Oceania Clay Target Cham-pionships.
Renmark Berri Field and Game Club publicity offi cer Paul Hansen said Pilipasi-dis won by one target over Burgen, while Chris Brown ended up in third with a fi -nal score of 177/200.
The major prize was a Miroku shot gun, valued at over $3500.
