The Barossa Council decided it was time to become more efficient and environmentally friendly in handling their

domestic community waste water systems. “Telstra is a valuable partner in helping us develop and implement a

communication network to manage our waste water systems”, Brian Hurn, Mayor of Barossa Council said. “The

Barossa Council operates seven Community Wastewater Management Scheme (CWMS) networks, three treatment

plants and thirty pump stations within the townships of Lyndoch, Mount Pleasant, Springton Nuriootpa, Stockwell,

Tanunda and Williamstown. The operation of the CWMS networks is required to be monitored continuously to

ensure their safe and effective operation. The coverage and reliability of the Next G™ network has given us the vital

link between our Network Control Centre and all our sites. This allows us to monitor and manage both normal and

fault conditions and deploy suitable resources to prevent any damage to the environment. Thanks to the continued

assistance of the local Telstra Country Wide team and the Next G™ network, in improving the operation of our CWMS

networks to allow maximum reuse of wastewater and protection of the environment.”

Brian Hurn, Mayor

Australia’s drought has proved challenging for the food and beverage industry, with wine grape growers turning to

telecommunications technology to assist with the production of South Australia’s local wine. “Telstra’s cutting edge

telecommunications technology has ensured that we can continue to produce during one of Australia’s worst

droughts, by helping us transport water from the Murray River to our local vineyards. Vineyards in the Langhorne

Creek area primarily received their water from Lake Alexandrina, which is now unusable! So together with CMV

Farms, we formed Marathon Water Pty Ltd and have built a 42 kilometre private pipeline from the Murray River to

our vineyards, which is linked by three sequential pump stations. Telstra’s Next G™ network links the three pump

stations and is pivotal in synchronising the water flow from the river to our vineyards. As a result, we consider

Telstra’s Next G™ network to be a critical link in this lifeline to our vines. The partnership we share with the local

Telstra Country Wide team has been key in improving the efficiency of our business.”

TELSTRA COUNTRY WIDE - A DEC ADE OF CHANGEBack in 2000, only 10 years ago, we communicated differently. While we were still

using the home and business phone, mobile phone coverage was building, internet

speeds were slow and we felt that the digital divide between city and country areas

was increasing.

Telstra made a commitment to turn around the digital divide. Extending our

commitment to regional and rural Australia, we established Telstra Country Wide.

This group became the local face of Telstra to understand the needs of Australians

living outside metropolitan areas and deliver the best in telecommunications for

regional and rural customers.

A decade later, we have come a long way. By introducing untimed local calls in remote

areas, upgrading and increasing coverage of our mobile network, introducing wireless

broadband and increasing fixed internet availability and speeds, we have delivered on

the original commitment made to customers – but it hasn’t stopped there.

Telstra’s innovation in regional areas has changed the shape of many communities.

Local businesses can compete on the world stage with improved internet capabilities;

regionally-based health care can offer remote diagnosis and monitoring; rural-based

schools can provide the same opportunities for their students as those in the city with

online learning; and environmental and farming businesses have improved their

productivity through mobile telemetry, possible with the advancements of Telstra’s

Next G™ network.

Telstra Country Wide’s staff also live and work in the regional and rural communities.

They have a greater understanding of the situations that are unique to regional

Australia. As we move into the next decade, Telstra has committed to being available

in more places through our expanded retail and company network across regional areas.

More local Telstra people are available to help you with your communications solutions.

And, just as we have been in the past, we are there when you need us. When natural

disasters occur, be it bushfires, floods or cyclones, the Telstra team is committed to

helping the community through at every turn. On top of this, we are there lending

a helping hand with community groups, through grants and sponsorships. We know

that this is important because we are part of the community too. Telstra has been

servicing regional and rural Australia for over 100 years. Telstra Country Wide’s 10 year

anniversary is a testament to that dedication and service. This will carry on into the future.

Telstra has a long and proud history as an

Australian company. Our vision is to improve the

way people live and work – no matter where they

live across this great country.

That’s why we are delighted to celebrate the 10th

anniversary of the creation of Telstra Country

Wide and recognise more than 100 years of service

to all Australians.

I hope that you will join us to mark these

important milestones.

STATE Agriculture Minister Michael O’Brien has backed down from com-ments he made yesterday suggesting RIverland irrigators could expect to lose up to 40 per cent of their alloca-tions.

After originally claiming sources had informed him of the alloca-tion reduction, he then revealed the “leaks” were based on public opin-ion.

As the Murray Darling Basin Au-thority prepares a draft plan for the

future of the basin, State Agriculture Minister Michael O’Brien yesterday told ABC radio the Riverland can expect high scale cuts to irrigator al-locations.

“We’re just working on the ba-sis of I suppose you could call them ‘leaks’,” he said.

“We believe it might settle around 30 per cent although our feel, par-ticularly for the Riverland, is that the reductions may be of the order of about 30, possibly 40 per cent,” he said.

However, Minister O’Brien told

the Riverland Weekly his remarks needed to be clarifi ed.

“I was referring to conjecture that’s been bandied about in the community and various public fo-rums,” Mr O’Brien said.

“I have no inside knowledge; it’s a matter for the Minister for the River Murray to respond to matters relat-ing to the draft plan, which is not due to be released until July at the earliest.”

Interesting week for O’Brien

AGRICULTURE Minister Michael O’Brien has had an interesting week in regards to the Riverland.

He has told the Riverland Weekly that the Riverland Futures Taskforce will gain an extension to complete its prospectus.

That extension is to be funded by the Riverland Recovery Fund, removing further valuable dollars from the $20 million promised to the region prior to the election.

Minister O’Brien believes the cost of the extension will not “make much of a dent”. Well why not take it from the government’s coffers, rather than from that already stretched fund?

Meanwhile, yesterday he announced that leaks have revealed irrigators will have allocations cut by up to 40 per cent under the new basin plan.

This news came just days after a Murray Darling Basin representative told the region the cuts would not be that drastic.

Minister O’Brien’s comments seem to have come from speculative rumour mongering, on an issue outside of his portfolio and are hardly likely to fi ll Riverlanders with confi dence.

Busy long weekend aheadHUNDREDS of visitors will fl ock to the Riv-erland this long weekend to experience the best the region has to offer.

The 32nd annual South Australian Country Music Festival and Awards at Barmera is the region’s main attraction, with entertainment across the region across the long weekend.

Festival president Murray McDonnell said the awards presentation will be at Bon-ney Theatre, Barmera, on Saturday night.

“It’s a family type environment and there is all kinds of country music,” he said.

Another feature event is the Riverland Balloon Fiesta, held in Renmark.

The hot air balloons will be sent into fl ight from the Renmark hockey fi eld twice a day over the long weekend.

Hundreds of utes will take part in the ever growing Loveday Ute Muster at the Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park from tomor-row to Monday.

Organiser Tony Whateley said activities at the event include mechanical bull riding championships and a visit from the Gui-ness Book of Records’ most stickered car.

“”It will be a good, fun family atmo-sphere,” he said.

Adding to the weekend’s colour, the 2010 SA Water-Ski Titles will take place on the Berri riverfront on Saturday and Sun-day.

The Cobdogla Irrigation and Steam Mu-seum (Sunday), Loxton’s Historical Village (Sunday) and the Waikerie and Districts Machinery Preservation Museum (Satur-day) all come to life over the weekend.

POKER star Phil Laak com-pleted the longest poker game in history at 115 hours early on Monday (US time), nearly two days longer than the cur-rent mark recognised as the

offi cial world record, abc.net.au reports.

The 37-year-old pro began playing at 12pm (local time) last Wednesday at the famous resort and fi nished at 7am on

Monday.The previous offi cial re-

cord, 72 hours and two min-utes, was held by Larry Olmst-ed set at the Foxwood casino in 2004.

FUNDS from the State Govern-ment’s $20million commitment to the Riverland will be used to pay for a proposed extension of up to two years for the Riverland Futures Taskforce.

State Minister for Agriculture, Food and Regional Development Michael O’Brien said the Task-force must remain active while the $20 million Sustainable Futures Fund is invested into lo-cal projects.

The Taskforce’s extension was not originally planned as part of the $20 million fund but Minister O’Brien said it isnecessary and will come at a minimal cost.

“I don’t think it is going to cost an arm and a leg and it could well be that someone in the possession of the knowledge does it on a part-time basis until the Taskforce are well and truly convinced that Re-gional Develop-ment Australia can carry on with the job,” he said.

“Ultimately, Regional De-velopment Australia, the new regional development agency, has got to run this project but it would be unfair to them and unfair to the Riverland for the Taskforce to close up shop in a

month or two’s time and just wheel in a couple of box-es of documents and say ‘you’re on your own now’.

“We are talking about $20 million over four years, so keeping at least one person in place for a period of 12 to 18 months, I don’t

think is going to make much of a dent.”

The Taskforce has already gone beyond a six month exten-sion on its original 12 month contract and it is understood the group, made up of locals and government representatives, is

requesting a two to three year ex-tension on its existence.

“I would hope we would be looking at 18 months to two years maximum,” Minister O’Brien said.

Minister O’Brien said the main project the Taskforce is working on, funded by the $20 million package, is a regional prospectus, a document that identifi es investment opportuni-ties in the region and it is expect-ed to be completed at the end of the month.

Last year the State Govern-ment also invested $475,000 towards the planning and con-sultation phase of the prospectus project.

Futures fund goes towards taskforce extension

FIFA fever grips travellers By LES PEARSON

MILLIONS of Australians will be glued to their television screens at 4am on Monday morning for the Socceroos’ opening fi xture against Germany at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

They will be joined by an equally enthusiastic throng of supporters from countries all over the globe backpacking their way across the nation.

Berri Backpackers interim manager Mark Garland said there will defi nitely be a number of noisy travellers keen to cheer on their team throughout the tournament.

With about 70 backpackers staying at the resort, Mr Garland anticipates a strong contingent of visitors from pre-dominantly British countries are sure to get in front of a TV set with gusto, de-spite the early hour broadcasts.

“It’s not going to stop anyone, I don’t think,” he said.

“The UK boys will probably be up watching the games with a few drinks.”

Mr Garland said there will also be strong interest in the tournament from a contingent of German and French ten-ants, while there are also a handful of Koreans who will be keen to see how their country fares.

Adoption of a second favourite team is common in the World Cup, with many of the backpackers happy to sup-port Australia in its quest to progress be-yond the round of 16.

Tom Benjamin, from Portsmouth, England, confi rmed the theory that foot-ball followers will adopt a team during the tournament.

“Even the Scottish boys will start go-ing for England,” he said.

Opinion remains divided about who will eventually win the tourna-

ment, although one thing is for certain, SBS’s Monday morning ratings are sure to receive a surge at 4am on Monday morning.

■ READY: The Berri Backpackers hostel will be alive in the early hours of the morning in the weeks to come as travellers such as (from left) Tom Benjamin, Philipp Eilts, Ole Winkelmann and Mark Garland keep an eye on how their respective teams are going in the FIFA Soccer World Cup.

Support for RannpaignCONGRATULATIONS for inviting the Premier to the Riverland.

I support you 100 per cent, keep it up.

Mike Rann needs to come and see that we are normal, hard working people who are proud of our district and want it to get ahead.

We want from this government to honour all of the things it has promised both before and since the last election.

Maybe Mr Rann, if and when he comes to the Riverland, will see what damage the Labor Government has done to the honest people of this area.

Not one ounce of soil has been turned at the Riverland Regional Hospital, will it ever happen?

Should we all send an invitation to the Premier asking him to visit the Riverland for three or four days and not a whistle stop blow in, as he has done in the past?

He should come and talk to the man on the street, not only his La-bor supporters, or his previous water minister.

Max Scholz,Barmera.

$950 for Life EducationON Sunday, May 30, the Riverland committee of Life Education held their annual nine hole ambrose golf competition at the Loxton Golf Club.

On behalf of our small com-mittee, I would like to express our appreciation to the Loxton Golf

Club, the 29 golfers who took part and the many Loxton businesses that generously supported us either by donations or nominating teams to take part.

An enjoyable time was had and around $950 was raised for this important cause.

The Life Education mobile class-room visits schools in the area annu-ally, reinforcing the health curricu-lum taught and providing valuable tools to teachers for ongoing use in their classrooms.

Any support we receive to help keep costs down is much appreciated.

We look forward to holding this event each year thanks to the great support we receive.

Liz Dymmott,Loxton North.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Great response to RannpaignRANNPAIGN

THE Riverland has responded strongly to the campaign to urge South Australian Premier Mike Rann to visit the region.

Over 150 people have joined the Riverland Weekly’s Facebook site requesting a visit from the Premier, who is currently on an overseas trip.

As of today, it is 919 days since Premier Rann formally visited the region.

Among the respondents to the Riverland Weekly was Duncan Davis who urged Riverlanders to unite behind the Rannpaign, while Sandy Ruediger shared sim-ilar sentiments.

“I hope all Riverlanders, and those who love the Riverland, join in this call to our Premier,” she posted.

RIVERLAND schoolchil-dren have joined the call for South Australian Pre-mier Mike Rann to visit the region.

Children attending last Friday’s Environmen-tal Expo at the Riverland Field Day’s site responded to the Riverland Weekly’s ‘Rannpaign’ with their own perspectives on why the Premier should visit.

Among those attend-ing were St Joseph’s Cath-olic School, Renmark, students, who were posi-tive about the region.

Nicholette Bakaj said the Premier should come to schools “to see all of the facilities and meet the kids that are the future of the Riverland”.

“He should come and see what a great commu-nity we have with heaps of sports and things for people to do,” added Christopher Dicerbo.

While, in line with the day, several other students had a more en-

vironmental message for their state’s leader.

Benjamin Pilgrim suggested Premier Rann should investigate the ef-fects of the current water crisis.

“He should look at the banks along the river

and the dead trees and the blocks with no vines anymore,” he said.

“If he had a look at Lake Bonney, he could see how salty it is,” Jack Agos-tino added.

Comments from the students covered a wide range of topics, includ-ing the region’s tourism industry.

Georgia Dyer said that Premier Rann “should come up and see the river and see how great it is to have a holiday”.

Riverland students extend invitation

received from the Riverland public by various means, including fax, email and verbal responses.

Appearances by Riverland Weekly editor Rob McLean on Life FM, WIN News, 5RM and Magic FM also pro-

voked much interest in the Rannpaign.The letter addressed to Mr Rann

has been forwarded on to his offi ce, via email and letter form.

As yet, no response has been re-ceived from the Premier’s Offi ce.

■ COME VISIT: Joining the call for the premier to visit the region were students (from left) Christopher Dicerbo, Georgia Dyer, Benjamin Pilgrim, Jack Agostino and Nicholette Bakaj.

AUSTRALIA is not a rac-ist country according to a prominent Indian media identity who visited the region last week.

Professor Kulbir Singh, World Punjabi Televi-sion and Radio Academy chairman, met with the Riverland Sikh commu-nity last week and is ada-mant the violence against Indian students, which earlier this year tarnished the country’s reputation in the sub-continent, is not a racial matter.

While in the Riverland, Professor Singh explored the region and the way of life for the local Indian community, with several owning farming proper-ties and feeling the effects of the drought.

Professor Singh, who plans to write a book about his trip, sung the praises of both the Riverland and Australia.

“Since I was in Austra-lia and Melbourne, I got feedback from local media people and realised that the press in India didn’t report it (the student at-tacks) in an honest man-ner,” he said.

“The Aus-tralian public are well man-nered, they are not racist, the problems lie under our people because they were doing the wrong things and blaming the Austra-lian people.

“Every society has some bad apples but you can’t blame the whole community.”

During his time in the Riverland, Professor Singh said the people he en-countered were polite and respectful.

Repairing Oz’s reputation

■ From Page 3

During the radio interview yes-terday, Minister O’Brien said the pri-vate sector must lead the recovery of the Riverland, with the State Govern-ment already committing $20 mil-lion to the region.

“When all’s said and done, it’s got to be a private sector-led recov-ery,” he told the ABC.

“There’s probably nothing more debilitating in the longer term than have communities year in, year out reliant on government assistance.”

Minister O’Brien said his com-ments were made in context to the current issues facing the Riverland.

“The challenges confronting the Riverland are not just related to low rainfall,” he said.

“Water and commodity issues are also prominent.

“That’s the context in which I made my comments.”

Member for Chaffey Tim Whet-stone said Minister O’Brien’s com-ments were made outside of his portfolio.

“I think it is absolutely irre-sponsible that he can come out and scaremonger like he is doing on an unsubstantiated rumour that he is

hearing,” he said.“It is almost a throwaway line

and if he thinks he can walk away from it, I assure him that will not be happening.”

Mr Whetstone said a 40 per cent reduction in irrigator allocations, as suggested by Minister O’Brien, would be devastating.

“(If that occurred) it would see the demise of the majority of the river communities not only in South Australia, looking further upstream,” he said.

Minister O’Brien’s comments contradict views of the Murray Dar-ling Basin Authority (MDBA) ex-

pressed by its members at Monday’s Riverland meeting.

“She (MDBA member Di David-son) gave a very clear indication that South Australia would be held in high regard or high esteem for...the way we have used water and adhered to the cap,” Mr Whetstone said.

Minister O’Brien also said the $20 million Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund will cover the irriga-tion sector.

“I have strong confi dence that money will assist the whole process of reconfi guration of irrigation and agricultural activity,” he said.

THE Berri based Riverland Drought Response Centre will be relocated to the Loxton Research Centre as part of the State Govern-ment’s $4.3 million support fund to regional communities recover-ing from the drought.

As part of a drought recovery program, two full time rural com-munity counsellors will be ap-

pointed for the Riverland, while exceptional circumstances assis-tance will continue in the Murray Mallee, River Murray corridor and Lower Lakes until March 31 next year.

The funding will ensure the Men and Women in Com-munities farmer peer support programs continues.

I am going to clean up the whole perception about Australia in India.

■ IMPRESSED: Professor Kulbir Singh and Indian preacher Mohan Singh.

According to Professor Singh, the Indian media “over reported” incidents involving violence against Indian students, scarring Australia’s reputation in the highly populated country.

“The Australian image was quite bad because of the adverse publicity,” he said.

“I am going to clean up the whole perception about Australia in India.

“We were particularly concerned in India that it was racial attacks and when it becomes a racial issue, that is much more serious and that was the biggest concern.”

Tension rose between

India and Australia after the murder of 21 year old student Nitin Garg in Mel-bourne earlier this year.

While, Australia’s image in India is on the mend, Pro-fessor Singh said his country will be told about the posi-tive experiences of his trip.

The Indian media iden-tity met with people in Loxton, Berri and Renmark while in the region.

“I am also quite im-pressed by the Australian traffi c system and the public behaviour and well man-nered society,” he added.

A member of the lo-cal Sikh community Har-vinder Singh said it was an

honour to have such an acclaimed interna-tional journalist in the Riverland.

“It is a fi rst time op-portunity for Australia on behalf of the Austra-lian people, as we are citizens of Australia and members of the local community, to get the facts right to the Pun-jabi media in India, so that will bring the rela-tionship back on track government wise, com-munity wise and cul-tural wise,” he said.

COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAMEADVERTISING FEATURE

ANOTHER handful of country music legends will be inducted into the South Australian Country Music Hall of Fame in Barmera this weekend.

The Hall of Fame is dedi-cated to preserving the history of Australian country music and the Pioneer’s Museum incorporates a huge collection of memorabilia.

Meanwhile, the landscaped Pi-oneer Park features the handprints of renowned country music artists such as Slim Dusty, Reg Lindsay, Joy McKean, John Williamson, Beccy Cole, Casey Chambers, Smokey Dawson, Lionel Rose and Chad Morgan and countless others.

Visitors can view memorabilia from national and international artists.

In relocating and establishing the Pioneer Park and the SA Coun-try Music Hall of Fame in 1995, the Berri Barmera District Council has preserved Australian country music history.

A handprint of each artist is placed in a concrete guitar, with their name inscribed on a stainless steel neck set into the guitar.

Each inductee writes their sig-nature on the guitar with a wooden pen crafted by Dennis Wutke from Riverland timber.

The 2010 inducteesAnthony Stewart

ANTHONY’S musical career started at the tender age of eight, infl u-enced by the songs of Slim Dusty, Barry Thornton and Lindsay Butler.

Anthony (pictured below) has had a signifi cantly successful career to date, touring with, and playing on, the albums of some of Austra-lia’s most notable country per-formers, including Adam Harvey, Corinna Cordwell, Barry Thornton, Lindsay Butler and Reg Poole.

In recent years, Anthony has been an avid supporter of the Junior Country Crossover Club for young performers, providing work-shops on PA systems and acoustic guitar.

Harry Letton

HARRY’S music career kicked off at the age of 14 when his parents bought him an acoustic guitar.

In the 1990s, Harry (pictured left) released two CDs (Country

Picking and Country Style).He toured through farm-

ing areas in 1997, entertaining farmers who had hit hard times, and received recognition from the Shadow Minister for Regional Development.

He toured again in 2009 and has become a popular fi gure on the

country music scene. Brian ‘Chooka’ Williams

‘CHOOKA” Williams’ (pictured above) career took off in 1964 at the Ouyen District Hospital Fun-draising Concert playing rhythm guitar and as lead singer for the Owltones.

During the 70s and 80s he continued with Marton Barton and Fargo.

‘Chooka’ participated in the Olympic Torch Song Contest and co-wrote the winning song that was performed while the cauldron was being lit at the 2000 Sydney games.

SIX more workers have been made redundant at the Australian Vintage winery, Loxton, adding to growing fears that the winery may close its doors.

The redundancies, which are understood to have been voluntary, occurred last Friday and leave only a handful of staff employed at the site, which is owned by McGuigan

Wines..A source, who wished to re-

main anonymous, said they be-lieve another round of job cuts will see the end of operations at the winery.

The winery has been dogged by concerns about its closure for a number of years. The concerns have increased since a failed bid to pur-

chase the winery by Indian compa-ny Champagne Indage.

Last week’s redundancies follow a round of job cuts late last year.

The winery has a capacity of 90,000 tonnes.

The Riverland Weekly contacted the company about the Loxton winery situation but was unable to obtain comment.

AN EXTENSIVE upgrade of the Nippy’s Moorook processing plant, costing millions of dollars, is al-most complete, instilling confi dence in the local job sector with a 25 per cent in-crease in employment for the well known Riverland juice company.

The two stage upgrade, which began in 2008, equips the Riverland facil-ity with the latest state-of-the-art technology, giving the company the ability to source contract work from outside the region on top of what the company al-ready produces.

Nippy’s Group man-aging director Jeff Knispel said the company contin-

ues to grow.“There is some con-

fi dence in the money we are spending, or investing, back into that equipment because we are picking up some contract work,” he said. “All the positions there are certainly more se-cure and we have taken on some additional staff.

“We are probably expe-riencing a 25 per cent in-crease in employment but it is from a very low base.

“We have also picked up one or two of the Na-tional Foods people.”

The next generation of equipment at Nippy’s Moorook facility, which produces long life juice and milk products, in-cludes new pasteurising, fi lling, packing and end of

line equipment.“Everybody might be

able to produce six packs, whereas we have a piece of equipment that will let us do threes or fours or twelves, whatever they re-quest,” Mr Knispel said.

Mr Knispel played down the status of being among the biggest compa-nies in the Riverland.

“We are just taking it all in our stride,” he said.

“Our company has just evolved over 40 or 50 years and it hasn’t been in massive leaps and bounds, it has just been a gradual growth over a long period of time.

“We are not overawed by the thing but are at least quietly confi dent that money we are reinvesting

back into our business, we will be able to recoup that investment and continue to grow.”

With the soon to be va-cant Berri National Foods plant on Mr Knispel’s shopping list late last year, he said the multinational company’s decision to strip the site of its existing ma-chinery was a factor in de-ciding not to purchase the site.

“In terms of the Moorook plant, which is a long life plant, we have just about outgrown our-selves there, which is why the National Foods facility had some interest for us,” he said.

“They have virtually stripped that plant, it is just a building now.”

REPORTS that Riverland produce is being sold under the wrong country of origin tag is yet another hurdle for the region’s horticulture indus-try, as experts push for stronger leg-islation for truth in labelling.

Stickered local citrus has been spotted in various city based super-markets on several occasions with an overseas country of origin label on the price point.

Citrus Australia Limited value chain co-ordinator Kym Thiel said fruit across the state is being misla-belled in supermarkets.

“You will have Australian fruit labelled as imported fruit and im-ported fruit labelled as Australian fruit,” he said.

Mr Thiel said truth in labelling must be implemented and policed.

“Then the consumer has a choice, they know what they are get-ting,” he said.

“Nine times out of 10 they (the consumer) will support local pro-duce, at the moment they are not being told the truth.”

The offi ce of business and con-sumer affairs said it has come across country of origin issues in the past.

“A search of the Consumer Complaints System reveals three complaints since 1999 regard-ing alleged misrepresenta-tion of the country of origin of food products,” an offi ce spokesperson said.

“Two of these issues were re-ferred to the ACCC and the third appeared to be a mislabelling issue which was quickly corrected.”

Mr Thiel said in a recent incident, a citrus industry repre-sentative noticed a Riverland stick-ered fruit with a label displaying another country.

Oranges’ altered origins

First-hand evidence

I HAVE personally seen Aus-tralian and Riverland fruit mislabelled and presented un-der a foreign country of origin badge.

During my stint working at a well known supermarket in the city, the country of origin requirements were continually drummed into us.

However, enforcing country of origin labels and then polic-ing them was something that was certainly lacking.

Fresh produce managers were constantly receiving new fruit, different varieties and of-ten from different countries.

Whether it was laziness,

confusion or a lack of experi-ence, workers would often fi ll Australian produce in with the imported varieties.

While there may have been three or four different stickered oranges in the one display, the main label would say ‘country of America’, when really it was Australian produce.

When managers would come to check out the quality of the produce, there was very little policing of whether the country of origin was listed correctly.

This was left up to the fresh produce manager and staff, who were often confused about the situation.

The end result was a misla-belled, expensive orange that failed to sell because many con-sumers refuse to buy overseas produce if it is available in their own backyard.

BRADPERRY

REPORT BY

The store attendant was un-aware of the problem and even after they were told about the inci-dent, nothing was done, according to Mr Thiel.

Loxton citrus grower Ron Gray has been an avid supporter of truth in labelling and said it is all well and good to enforce country of ori-gin labelling but believes it must be reported and policed.

“I think it (the mislabelling of Riverland fruit) highlights the inac-curacy of labelling and the policing

of labelling laws,” he said.“At the end of the day, if the la-

belling is not right we (as growers) are losing value.

“The labelling laws aren’t tight enough, so they (supermarkets) can actually do what they like.”

Industry members are also con-cerned that Riverland fruit is be-ing mixed with imported varieties in supermarkets.

“If they (supermarkets) are putting them (imported varities) next to ours and the consumers

are thinking they are picking up an Aussie orange, the price is more and it is not as good quality,” Mr Gray said.

“They (supermarkets) may sell more oranges, so that is why they let the mistake happen.”

While it seems unlikely fruit will ever be identifi ed to a specifi c grower at retail level, Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said con-sumers will buy local produce if it is identifi ed properly.

“We have to have the appro-

priate labelling so the consumer is aware where that produce is grown or where it originates from,” he said.

“Once things are processed, we get lost in, not so much where it is grown, but where it is made or reconstituted.

“I think the truth in labelling and making the consumer aware about what they are buying is all about educating them so they can make a much more informed decision.”

“There is a prospectus that I am yet to see, which basically details a lot of the propositions and some of them may be implementable immediately but I am yet to have that briefi ng,” he said.

“The way that it has been put to me, I think there is probably a whole list of fair-ly solid proposals within the prospectus.

“We are trying to facili-tate a greater involvement by the Flinders University in the delivery of health edu-cation in the Riverland and projects like that, that the Taskforce is also behind, but the prospectus is the main driver.”

According to Minster O’Brien, the prospectus project has been successful in other parts of South Aus-tralia and therefore he be-lieves it will succeed in the Riverland.

“This has been done elsewhere in the state with very positive outcomes,” he

said. “My belief is the prospec-

tus will be something that the Riverland can get behind and will produce very, very tangible benefi ts in the short to medium term.”

Riverland Futures Task-force director Peter Ackland will return to his role as Loxton Waikerie Council chief executive offi cer in coming months and will not lead the group into the ex-tension period.

The Taskforce has attract-ed criticism from local com-munity groups and Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone since its formation in Janu-ary last year but Minister O’Brien said it was unwar-ranted.

“I think that was prob-ably uninformed politicking in the context of the state election,” he said.

“I have given Tim Whet-stone a pretty comprehen-sive brief on what the Task-force is all about.

“Once it was explained to the Liberal party, I am not

going to put words into any-one’s mouth, but they realised that there was some real sub-stance behind what we have done.”

Minister O’Brien said the Taskforce was formed to ad-dress ongoing problems in the region.

“The issues confronting the Riverland are fairly sig-nifi cant,” he said.

“We have got this over-arching issue of water but then we have got, sitting underneath that, probably too great a reliance on wine-grapes and we have got a na-tional glut.

“We have got two big is-sues in the Riverland and it was felt that it was such a large task that we ought to basically call on resources of the State Government and the three councils in the Riverland and the then Riverland Development Board to map out a future for the Riverland.

“It has done, I think, an excellent job in mapping out that future.”

Taskforce extension likely

Club facing recessA MUCH loved Riverland or-ganisation may be forced to go into recess unless new mem-bers can be found.

Rostrum Club 15, a branch of the popular public speaking organisation, has had only fi ve people present at its most re-cent meetings.

President Steve Patching said it would be disappoint-ing if Rostrum Club 15 went into recess as once clubs close down, they often do not re-turn.

The next meeting of the club will be at the Berri Resort

Hotel from 7pm tonight.A vote on the future of the

club will be held at that meet-ing and all members are urged to attend.

Zonta’s delightORGANISERS of this year’s Riverland Women in Business Awards are delighted by the re-sponse to calls for nominees.

Around 50 women have been nominated for the pres-tigious Riverland Zonta Club awards.

The nominees have been asked to apply for the awards and the fi nal entrants will be

announced next month.It is understood that the

number of nominees is the highest the club has ever had for the biennial award.

Drew’s hair cut loomsBERRI man Drew Nelsson will have a decidedly cooler outlook on life from around midday this Saturday when he loses his hair to raise funds for palliative care.

Remember, the event will be held at the Riverland Central Plaza, Berri, from 12.15pm.

If your business would like

a chance to sponsor Drew’s bald head once it’s shaved, contact him on 8582 3655, or head along on the day.

Village comes aliveTHE Loxton Historical Village will be holding its popular Alive Day this Sunday from 11am to 4pm.

Special features of the day will be the usual action involv-ing working exhibits, along with a ‘saddle bag’ full of country music entertainment.

It’s always a great day out, so make sure you get along for a look.

ABOUT 225 pairs of new pyjamas were recently donated as part of a campaign organised by the Berri Li-ons Club for the Salvos.

The pyjamas have been handed over to the charitable organisation to be distributed within the Riverland.

With the Riverland recently be-ing on the end of some very chilly nights, the donations couldn’t have been more timely!

ST Catherine’s Berri re-cently had the sad task of farewelling a long time volunteer – Pat Noyce.

Pat has been ‘around’ St Catherine’s for over 20 years and originally came on board to “help out”.

Since, she has been a visitor, board member,

residents’ representative committee chair and Chatterbox editor.

That’s a fair lot of work from one person, no wonder Pat was hon-oured with a musical morning tea recently.

Well done Pat, you’ll surely be missed.

FOURTEEN unemployed River-landers are putting in the hard yards to gain qualifi cations to launch themselves into a career in the building and construction industry.

Working at the Riverland Field Days site, participants in the Federal Government’s Productivity Places

Program (PPP) are paving their way to a new career.

The government anticipates the program will deliver 711,000 quali-fi cation commencements nation-wide over fi ve years.

These qualifi cations are being delivered in an industry-driven sys-tem, ensuring that training is more responsive to the needs of business-es and participants.

AWC Training senior trainer Paul Maynard is run-ning the Riverland program, which will continue over the coming fortnight.

“Basically, it’s designed to build these blokes up as skilled labourers for the building and construction industries,” he said.

“It is mainly aimed at up skill-ing young Australians, getting them

qualifi ed and able to enter the workforce.”

While in the program, work-ers will learn a number of new skills and pick up different quali-fi cations needed in the indus-try, including the White Cer-tifi cate and a Certifi cate II in Civil Construction.

Mr Maynard said the program is run in conjunction with the River-

land’s main employment agencies, including CRS, Madec and Mission Australia Employment.

The program has travelled around Australia, Mr Maynard com-ing to the Riverland after a three month stint in indigenous com-munities in the Western Australian gold fi elds.

He said the program will move on to Victor Harbor next.

THERE are 15 species of bats that live along the Murray.

Bats are an important part of our environment, especially when it comes to keeping mosquitoes at bay.

Increasing the awareness of bats within our region will help main-tain their population. These mam-mals are tiny insect-eating creatures which help to control fl ying in-sects.

It is said that bats can eat up to half their body weight in insects each night and are even known to catch small fi sh.

As bats rely on insects as their main food source, they are prone to the accumulation of insecticides, so minimising insecticide use is criti-cal for bat survival.

Not all bats live in caves, so

protecting hollows and placing bat boxes in trees is also a way to pro-vide shelter for bats.

The Department for Environ-ment and Heritage (DEH) is work-ing with local community groups to raise awareness of bats within our region and how they are an impor-tant part of our local ecosystem.

Part of this awareness has been through conducting surveys in the Mallee, including at Gluepot.

The surveys are conducted to educate people on how to identify the different species and also about how to place anabats out in the bush which record the sounds the bats make, many of which are too high a pitch for us to hear.

DEH has recently been working with students from the University of South Australia at Danggali Wil-

derness Protection Area. The students have caught and

identifi ed many bat species which live within the park and learnt about the different habitats of these nocturnal creatures.

DEH is holding a training week-end at Gluepot in December to in-crease the awareness of this incred-ible mammal.

Anyone interested in this should contact the DEH Murraylands offi ce on 8595 2111.

NEW looks, extra kit and more power are the headlines for Nissan’s facelifted 2010

Navara ST-X Dual Cab ute. The newcomer is identifi ed by a revised

front end with a new bonnet and bumper, which adds 80mm to the overall length and is more rounded for improved aerodynamics.

New six-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels en-hance the side view.

Inside are new seat fabrics, new door trims, new switchgear, new centre-fl oor console and revised instrumentation with chrome high-lights.

Nissan has also added dual-zone climate control air-conditioning, power folding exte-rior mirrors, Bluetooth telephone connec-tivity and an auxiliary input for the audio system.

Electronic Stability Program is now standard.

Major improvements are under the bonnet with the 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine now providing 140kW of power

(up from 126kW) and 450Nm of torque (up from 403Nm). The common-rail diesel ben-efi ts from a new direct injection system (now operating at 2000bar), revised internals and a new variable nozzle turbocharger.

The extra good news is fuel consumption is down by 13 per cent to 8.5l/100 kilometres and CO2 emissions are cut to 224g/km.

Navara’s 198kW, 4.0-litre V6 engine re-mains unchanged.

PASSION and commitment to excellence in customer service has seen Berri’s Big River Toyota recognised at recent national awards.

Big River Toyota’s fi xed operations manager Mark Rudiger received a Gold Award at a glittering ceremo-ny in Sydney last month.

The award recognises Mr Rudiger as being the best in his fi eld in the nation, a wonderful commenda-tion according to Big River Toyota dealer principal Sav Sarro.

“Mark’s commitment to excellence is exceptional and his passion for the customer is refl ected throughout the operations of Big River Toyota,” Mr Sarro said.

It is the second con-secutive year that Big River Toyota, using certifi ed world class operating procedures, has been named the nation’s best for parts and service delivery, ahead of 260 other dealers.

Mr Rudiger has been with Big River Toyota since the inception of the business at its Old Sturt Highway site.

As such, Mr Sarro said he is much respected by his workmates and his example fi lters through to the rest of the staff.

“It’s a team effort,” Mr Sarro said.

The award follows Mr Rudiger’s reception of a Silver Award at the SA/NT regional commendations

MOTORING MODIFIED SCENE with Graham Matthews

ALL Cars Day is shaping up really well and entry num-bers are starting to build.

Due to wonderful sup-port from sponsors, a new motorsports car class has been added to cater for those motorsport vehicles that cannot legally be driven to the event.

So anyone owning a car used in motorsport that they wish to display are welcome to enter and give exposure to their chosen sport.

These may be off road, drag cars, speedway or even go-karts.

A trophy will also be up for grabs. Another new ad-dition to the All Cars Day is the ‘Parts Mart’ board where entrants who have either cars or parts they want to sell will be able to display a sign free of charge.

These may be complete cars, engines, parts, wheels, or anything relative to cars and the building of them.

Members of the River-land Motorsport Club are making All Cars Day a club event, which will not only provide them with the op-portunity to get their cars out but also to discuss the recent developments on progress with their drag strip and the driver training facility.

During discussions with these people you may even become inspired to come up with a potential winner in the drag strip facility’s name and logo competition.

Once again a cruise from Waikerie has been planned as a result of the interest from down that way, as well as Adelaide.

Those travelling from

Adelaide should leave in time to meet the Waikerie area entrants at the council depot car park on the Sturt Highway, opposite the bak-ery at 9am.

They will depart at ap-proximately 9.15am for an enjoyable cruise in convoy to Barmera for a great day.

Last minute entries will be available at registration from 10am at Bruce Oval on the Sunday morning.

The Barmera Primary School fundraising commit-tee is working hard to ensure we have a successful fun day, so I urge all special interest vehicle owners to get their cars out, clean them up and cruise along.

Anyone requiring further information, please phone me on 8588 7169 or 0419 807 837.

By ANDREW WALLADGE

I WAS reading a little book the other day on fl owers of the French Alps.

I can’t read French to save myself, however, with some delight I could read the botanical names.

Names such as Allium, Narcissus, Aq-uilegia and Ajuga I could match with pic-tures quite easily.

Chives, daffodil, grannies bonnets and a European Alp form of our local Ajuga australis were like familiar friends, rather than seemingly unpronounceable, or just plain stupid names.

The main advantages of botani-cal names are their accuracy and their accepted world wide use long before the internet.

Those interested in gardening will, by default, start using botanical names sim-ply because if one is describing a plant by a botanical name you can be sure that with a reasonable reference, your garden-ing companion will quite easily under-stand what you mean.

I’ve heard of a Convolvulus sp. being referred to as a toilet creeper.

The actual truth is, it just happened to grow on someone’s toilet in the days of outside ‘loos’, so the name stuck.

Try telling that such and such plant is a bathroom climber to a botanist in Si-beria, whereas the name Convolvulus will light his eyes up with understanding.

The other thing that happens with botanical names is the student of botany suddenly realises how simple it really is.

Most of us would recognise a gum tree.

If you take a close look at the fl ower (and most fl owering plants are identifi ed by their fl owers and/or buds and fruits) there is a certain way a gum tree’s fl owers are put together.

This puts them in Myrtaceae, a fairly big family group that includes our 800 or so eucalypts.

Go anywhere and recognise a fl ower in myrtaceae and you have halfway iden-tifi ed the plant.

Grasses are even easier. Get to know a grass fl ower head and

yes, they do fl ower and you have sud-denly narrowed it down to the 9000 or so species in the grass family.

We only use a handful of species for food production but there is a world of

grasses to explore.The excitement of recognising seem-

ingly familiar plants grows as more fam-ily groups become identifi able.

Take the orchid family for example. The fl ower is generally quite easy to

recognise and with 18,000 species (this doesn’t include all the hybrids) you will be unfortunate not to see any when you walk in spring through native vegetation.

The pea family is quite easy to know. While they are an important plant

in food production, Australia is rich in ‘peas’.

The family has 17,000 different spe-cies and includes all our wattles.

If you doubt they are in the pea family, wait until one has fi nished fl owering and take a look at the fruit (or seed pod).

The king of plant groups is the highly developed daisy family.

The daisy would have to be the most easily recognisable fl owers in the world.

Take a look at any drawing of a garden by children and daisies feature heavily.

They come in many sizes and forms, have an incredibly wide distribution over the world and contain a mind blowing 25,000 species.

This is 25,000 recognisably different species that reproduce after their kind and again, Australia has our fair share of different daisies.

My point is that with a little under-standing of some of the larger botanical families, understanding of gardening and the natural world around us grows.

With that understanding our appreci-ation of it grows and in turn, our garden-ing skills grow.

So why put up with a narrow band of ‘accepted garden plants’, when there are simply thousands upon thousands of plants to enjoy?

Match of the round

Lyrup v ParingaIT is a battle of second versus third when Lyrup hosts Paringa in round seven, in what is expected to be a physical encoun-ter.

Lyrup welcomes back 2004 premier-ship ruckman Heath Willmott, who will play at full back and may line up on Paringa leading goalkicker Anthony Lip-pis.

Several Swans players face off against their old club and coaches from both sides are expecting it to be a red hot con-test.

Despite an extensive injury list, Paringa is combining well as a team and beginning to regain the form which won it a premiership last season.

Recruit Tyson Stowers has been a positive inclusion for the Swans and may tag Lions captain Jason Marr, who is starting to regain last season’s Duthie Medal form.

Paringa’s Andrew Lloyd has led from the front and been assisted by Chris Gardner in the middle of the ground.

Lyrup is looking to stop the run of the Swans’ midfi eld and stem supply to its potent for-ward line.

Lippis, Deane Hill and the strong marking Steve Lehmann are all dangerous targets around goals for Paringa.

Nathan Rover is cur-rently playing a key role in the ruck and will battle with the Lions’ Joe Finn to get fi rst hand on the foot-ball.

The Swans need to stop Na-than Willmott and defenders such as Daniel Dimitrijevic and Tom Wood may play the loose man in defence to block his run.

Lyrup coach Sam Lloyd said Willmott has knee soreness but hopes he will be back to his fi ttest come Saturday.

What has been outstand-ing about Lyrup this season is the strength of its depth, with Tom Smith, Harley Rudd, Alan Penola and Matt Gregory in top form.

The Swans injury list includes Michael Miller, Jason Grover, Adrian Knight, Brett Robertson and Shannon Hissey and could be a telling factor in the coming weeks.

In a cracker of a match, Lyrup will kick away in the fi nal quarter for a three goal victory.

Ramco v East MurrayAN inconsistent Ramco requires a win in its fi xture with East Murray to remain a top four contender this season.

We feel the Tigers’ Achilles Heel is its forward line, relying on several midfi eld-ers to kick goals.

Matt Stasinowsky and Todd Col-lins are targets in attack but need Sam Hoffmann, Michael Kirk, Ashley Hissey and Justin Andriske to contribute on the scoreboard.

Solid defender Josh Norman ap-pears to be hitting form and the Roost-ers will need to make sure he is not left unmarked.

Ramco’s strength is its defence, with the likes of Al Geeham, full back Craig Thiel and changing half backers Marcus Mcgrath and Dave Watkin.

However, there is no doubting the Roosters will need to be on top of

their game to prevent the football from consistently heading into the Tigers’ forward line.

East Murray has been playing

fl owing football this season and we ex-pect an eight goal win will secure its place at the top of the

Independent ladder.

Brown’s Well v Cobdogla

THIS match against bottom placed Brown’s Well is one not to be taken lightly by

Cobdogla.The Eagles have the

opportunity to regain a spot in the top four with a comprehensive win and playing/coach Dar-rell Tillbrook is looking for nothing less.

However, Cobby will be without several of its star players follow-ing a tough loss to Lyrup

last round.Leon Henderson

suffered a broken jaw and word is that his season has ended, while in the same match, Damien He-

inicke broke his nose and it is unknown whether he will front against the Bombers.

On top of that, Brad Thompson has a knee injury and Tillbrook himself is over-coming an injury to play this round.

Brown’s Well is undermanned and its defence has been under seige and will need Daniel Cass or one of the Hampel brothers to block Tillbrook’s path to goal.

Bomber coach Steve Watson remains confi dent his charges are improving and the last two outings have proven that but they are still a long way off the mark.

Blake Milich is a notable ball win-ner and coming off a hard working game against Wunkar, will need to stand up again this round.

Forwards Daniel Marincus, Sterling Crowe, Luke Wegener and Zac Walker will have a fi eld day and guide Cobby to a 20 goal victory.

BSR v Moorook-KingstonBlanchetown/Swan Reach was impres-sive against league leaders East Murray last round and will take that confi dence into the clash with Moorook-Kingston.

Captain Brett Gierke overcame in-jury to be best afi eld against the Tigers and along with Dale Payne and Matt Griffi ths, provides a midfi eld engine that can match it with some of the league’s best.

Coach Peter Zadow has been im-pressed by the efforts of Tom Sobey on the wing and up forward.

The Redbacks are lacking depth and must get more from their second tier players.

Moorook-Kingston has produced competitive fi rst halves this season but will be looking for a four quarter effort against BSR.

The Warriors welcome back Matt Raison, James Leach and John Robert-son from injury, while former Barmera-Monash junior Michael Geromichalos will play his fi rst game for the club at centre half forward.

Warriors coach Murray Voigt is hop-ing for the return of Eugene Abdulla this round, replacing the absent Todd Grif-fi n.

BSR have several tall players in its side, including Scott McKenzie and Mark Coleman, and the Warriors will sorely miss ruckman Darran van der Woude.

Tagger Ryan Dick will follow Payne and Moorook-Kingston’s defence, in-cluding Mick Svenson, David Hogg, at centre half back, and Adrian Hogg will need to stand strong.

This match will be an interesting en-counter with BSR overcoming a gallant Moorook-Kingston by 10 goals.

By LES PEARSON

NOT many people get to have a friendly yarn with St Kilda coach Ross Lyon but that’s exactly the op-portunity Eddie Stanley, grandfather of former Berri footballer Rhys Stanley, had following the rookie ruckman’s re-cent clash with Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.

“All dad wanted to do was meet Ross Lyon,” Stanley’s mother Andrea said.

Following the match, Eddie was allowed back into the players’ rooms with Rhys to quiz Lyon on Stanley’s progress.

“Better than what I have asked of him,” and “he’s my three year proj-ect player,” was report-edly Lyon’s response.

“When he (Eddie) started offering coaching advice, Peter (Stanley’s father) had to drag him away,” Andrea laughed.

While only Peter and Andrea were able to get to Stanley’s debut match against West Coast in Perth late last month, most of the Stanley fam-ily made it across to Mel-bourne for his second match against the Crows.

“They (Rhys’ grand-parents) were bawling the whole time,” Andrea said.

“Mum and Dad get pretty emotional when it comes to the grandkids.”

Stanley also kicked his fi rst goal during the match, a highlight the whole family will re-member for a long time to come.

Rewind a few weeks and Stanley’s parents were watching the debu-tant hopeful playing for VFL team Sandringham.

With daughter Bodelle’s 18th birthday approaching the follow-ing weekend, Andrea jok-ingly suggested to one of Stanley’s coaches not to select him for the Eagles game.

But come Thursday afternoon, Stanley was named in the St Kilda team.

What followed was a hectic weekend, with Bodelle’s 18th taking place on Saturday night.

Peter and Andrea fi -nally got to bed at 2am after cleaning up and were up again at 6am to get to the airport to fl y out to Perth.

While they were rather sleep deprived and some-what fl ustered, Andrea said, in contrast, Rhys was rather calm before the game.

“He didn’t seem ner-vous at all, which sur-prised me,” she said.

“He just took it all in his stride.”

Rather, it was the fam-ily who felt the nerves.

“I wasn’t nervous until I was walking to the sta-dium (and thought) ‘that this is it, what he’s been working so hard for, for so long’,” Andrea said.

Stanley has now strung three consecu-tive games together, after playing for the Saints last Friday night against Rich-mond and is likely to be in the side to play against Fremantle this Sunday.

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

■ From Page 46

It runs 230 kilometres from Alice Springs to the small Aputula (Finke) community on Sunday and returns on Monday.

The prologue will be held in and around Alice Springs on Sat-urday after competitors have spent this week in the Red Centre fi ne tuning their machines and getting in some practice on parts of the course.

Geoff Roe reports that to con-form with a CAMS direction on speed safety standards, the track has some alterations this year with a bend “either left or right or up or down required at least every two kilometres”.

The 2010 race is a far cry from its 1976 origin when it was a ‘there and back’ challenge between a group of local motor bike riders and it is estimated that this year up to 12,000 people will camp beside the track for the biggest an-nual sporting event in the North-ern Territory.

In an effort to douse a fi erce ri-

valry between two and four wheel-ers, somewhat separate ‘King of the Desert’ titles are now up for grabs but there is still keen interest in who completes the 460 kilome-tre round trip the quickest.

Meanwhile, David Schultz, navigating for his Adelaide based cousin John, will be the only Waikerie-Riverland member at the annual Mallee Rally at Sea Lake, Victoria, also this weekend.

Twenty or so cars from SA are amongst the 83 overall entered for the event, which is part of the ‘Donlakerie’ series involving the Donald, Sea Lake and Waikerie clubs.

By the way, the increase in the Waikerie track from 40 to 80 kilo-metres means there will be more recovery vehicles required for their Enduro on July 14 and 15 and Da-vid (8582 2968) is asking for any-one with a 4WD, UHF radio and tow rope that may be able to help out to contact him.

I am told it will give an op-portunity to see some great racing action ringside.

■ READY TO RACE: Brad Gallard is one of several locals taking on the Finke Desert Race this weekend.

■ 5RM Radio announcer and ardent motorsport fan Trevor Scott is predicting this Sunday’s fi nal meeting for the sea-son at Waikerie’s Sunline Speedway “will be something special”.

Firstly, there is an action packed pro-gram with super, modifi ed and junior sedans, street stocks, wingless sprints, super modifi eds and an all ladies race, to be followed by a sponsors’ evening.

Gates open at 10am and racing starts at noon.

Admission is $18 adults, $38 per family, while there is full catering and bar facilities.

But the real reason Trevor, who will call the races at the meeting, is predicting there will be a bigger than normal turn-out of both drivers and supporters will be the respect those in the sport have for the track promoter, Rob Stevens.

Rob, who also runs the Whyalla Speedway, was seriously injured while fi tting a tyre to his super sedan recently and is facing a long period to recovery.

Having built up a tremendous repu-tation in the sport from car owner, en-gine builder, promoter and more, we are assured that Rob is going to make it to Sunline for this fi nal meeting of the sea-son.

All the best Rob.

■ THE main observation from last Sun-day’s round of A grade soccer is that Barmera Dev Estates (formerly Barmera Black) are the real deal and confi rmed that on the strength of their draw against Renmark Olympic seven days earlier, they are the major threat to Olympic’s suprem-acy.

On Sunday, with Kyle Lehman and Kevin Barber showing the way, they de-feated another of the likely threats, Berri River Rangers 4-2, in a seesawing contest.

In other matches, Olympic defeated clubmates Development 5-1 and Barmera Gold accounted for Loxton 6-2.

There is no local soccer this week but the Riverland will have eight teams, boys under 11 to under 16 and girls under 13 and under 16, competing in the SA Junior Championships in Adelaide.

Also in soccer news, the Mildura Cup in which our individual local clubs have participated in recent seasons, will this year be replaced by an interleague chal-lenge competition involving Sunraysia, Broken Hill and Riverland sides.

The inaugural event will be played in Mildura on July 10 and 11 with each league fi elding a senior men’s, senior women’s and under 18 (or 19) team.

The challenge winner will be the league that accumulates most points across all three of the grades.

Locals target champs■ WITH a couple of leading players added to their ranks this season, Noel Peatty and Cheryl Kelly, the Riverland will fi eld a strong side at this weekend’s SA Country Darts Championships in Murray Bridge.

Eleven other country teams will take part, with Murray Bridge to start as title favou-rites.

Brian Hawley will captain the local team with the other players involved Jason Willett, Shaun Pankhurst, Kim Pilmore, Wendy Jones and Justin Bon-ham.

Statisticians are Gloria Dyer and Kendall Hayes.

Bulldogs have a kick■ THE Wunkar Bulldogs are one of the leading clubs in the Army Challenge Award ‘Kick for Your Club’ football game.

Supporters can kick once a day on the Army Challenge award website www.defence-jobs.gov.au/armyaward.

At the end of the season, a club in each state that has had its supporters ‘kick’ the most amount of points will win $5000 to spend on something of benefi t to them.

The 2010 Army Challenge award, with one of football’s most courageous players ever, former North Melbourne champion Glenn Archer, as its ambassador, highlights values synonymous to both the Army and Australian football and focuses on grassroots footy, while rewarding and recognis-ing the support local commu-nities give to the game.

Also a player in each state who has demonstrated cour-age, initiative and teamwork in local football will win a trip to Melbourne for them and a mate incorporating a kickoff with Archer and a 2010 Army Challenge Player Award me-dallion.

There is no reason why we all can’t have a kick for our local Bulldogs.

■ TWO trainers completed win-ning doubles at the Barmera grey-hound track last Saturday, includ-ing Renmark’s Nicole Price who continued her successful run when Crazy Quin scored by half a length in the 405 metre race three and Speeding Teddy bolted in by fi ve lengths three events later over 512 metres.

One of Crazy Quin’s owners certainly was confi dent of the dog’s victory.

Apparently he fl ew from Mel-bourne to Mildura, hired a car

and drove to Barmera, invested on his runner, then had some capital to follow up on its kennel mate Speeding Teddy and returned home having well and truly paid for his trip.

The Turner kennels from Freel-ing also picked up the winner’s reward in two races with Gem of Mine and Lighting Flood and nar-rowly stole any ‘trainer of the day’ tag by adding a third placing when Manatoo followed home Crazy Quin.

Lighting Flood’s win came in

the race of the day over 512 me-tres and the last of the seven event program and was something of an upset.

The Turner prepared dog started at 8-1 and won from 10-1 chance Uno’s Shadow and locally trained form dog Coup De Loot ($2.20).

Race favourite Buddy Bandit ($2) fi nished fourth.

Of the other Riverland trainers, Kingston’s Vern Anderson contin-ued to introduce promising young-sters when Tiana Boy ran third to highly rated pair Kachina Queen

and Stormin Pedro, from the two Fullerton kennels in Red Cliffs, in the only maiden race.

Honorary local, Norma Mill-ington, from Cardross, had Ready to Explode fi nish second to Navel Gazing, from Lewiston, and Diffi -cult end up third behind Speeding Teddy.

The next Riverland meeting will be another of those transferred to Gawler to attract TAB coverage.

The date, Sunday, June 20, I un-derstand, may be the fi nal Gawler transfer under this arrangement.

Young hockey hopefuls■ RIVERLAND-Barossa teams will have a tough task in equaling last year’s performances in the state junior hockey championships in Adelaide this weekend.

In 2009, three of our teams won their division and the fourth fi nished third.

Participating in this tourna-ment is necessary for players to be considered for state selection.

Twenty four Riverland players are involved in the teams.

In the under 15 girls will be Steph Baird, Eloise Ham-pel, Brittney Cass (Loxton), Ja-mie Butters, Morgan Trautwein (Renmark) and Amelia Harkness (Waikerie).

While Dalton Casey (Renmark), Chris Allister, Zachery Schubert, Zac Bartsch (Loxton) and Grady Campbell (Berri) will appear in the under 15 boys.

The under 18 sides will in-clude Brianna Seabrook, Kim-berley Fulwood, Cheryse Hope (Waikerie), Merinda McMahon, Karri McMahon (Berri) and Tara Allister (Loxton) in the girls and Shaun Crouch (Renmark), Sean Burgess, Aaron Evans, Matt Ham-mond, Steven Trezise (Loxton), Jason Redemski and Matthew Morgan (Waikerie) in the boys.

Loxton’s Tim Schubert will coach the under 15 boys and Gavin McMahon (Berri) will be an assistant coach with the under 18 girls.

The number of goals Barmera Dev Estates scored against Berri River Rangers on the weekend.

I’ve been here two and half years and I cannot remember one time that I had to be a nasty guy towards my players. ~ Pim Verbeek 4 SPORT

■ SOME more details have come to light on Renmark’s Linton Price taking out the Australian 550cc Supersports speedboat ti-tle in only his fi rst season in the sport.

After winning all of his 21 races, including fi ve heats of the titles at Mildura, in his short ca-reer so far, if anyone deserved

any slice of good fortune that was about in the last race, the championship decider, it was Linton.

Leading by 200 metres or so, imagine his shock and disap-pointment when a faulty propel-ler bush left him sitting in Show-bags crippled out on the course without any ‘drive’ whatsoever.

But also imagine his relief when he found that offi cials had simultaneously red fl agged and stopped the race when another boat had capsized.

It just gave Linton and his crew time to replace the prop and return to drive somewhat ‘gin-gerly’ but still quickly enough to win the re-run comfortably.

■ THE special concessions being made to new AFL clubs from the Gold Coast and Western Sydney are, I suppose understandable, but they are hardly fair to some long suffering ex-isting teams and their supporters.

You can see that to break into these non Australian football regions there has to be some guarantee of pretty quick success to attract player, offi cial, corporate and supporter in-terest to the new clubs.

Hence fi rst grab at the sport’s crop of youngsters from across the Nation and also a shot at some of the estab-lished stars from rival clubs.

But what about some of the clubs that are already there, particularly St Kilda and Western Bulldogs?

St Kilda was established in 1873 and became a foundation member of the VFL in 1897.

Since then it has won only one premiership – in 1966 via a one point victory over Collingwood in the grand fi nal.

Footscray, today’s Western Bull-dogs, started in 1883 and was a force in the VFA with nine fl ags before it joined the VFL in 1925.

It also has won only one premier-ship since then, accounting for Mel-bourne by 51 points in 1954.

If we look over the complete VFL/AFL history, the records between the top and bottom brackets, as far as titles are concerned, are wide apart and it is amazing that both groups still have armies of followers who are passionate about their club, even though one group ‘expects’ to win the fl ag, the other, ‘hopes’ to win one day, perhaps.

That latter lot deserve medals.Carlton and Essendon (16),

Collingwood (14), Melbourne (12),

Richmond and Hawthorn (10) have impressive trophy cabinets, although several are gathering dust.

Sadly, St Kilda and Western Bull-dogs are right amongst those at the other end of the scale which naturally includes the clubs that only joined the all Australian AFL competition after it commenced in 1990, Sydney/South Melbourne (four fl ags), West Coast, Brisbane (three), Adelaide (two) and Port Adelaide (one), with Fremantle the only club yet to win a title.

No doubt those modern clubs, the non Victorians if you like, share the ‘expect’ to win culture.

So what about St Kilda and West-ern Bulldogs?

And you can throw in Richmond, Melbourne, of course Fremantle and a few others who have struggled since the birth of the AFL?

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to have continued to assist them (or dropped some of the Victorian clubs out of a saturated situation) to give us a truly level playing fi eld in an all Aus-tralian competition, instead of going on a power kick that indeed could yet prove Mission Impossible?

It seems ironical that just when some of those clubs with premier-ship droughts appeared to be making some headway under AFL player dis-tribution measures, that organisation is moving on to hand its concessions to newcomers.

Perhaps it’s just me but there is something out of whack in this pas-sion to expand, rather than trying to make what we have more even.

I think it was Max Walker who once said at a sports night, “winning isn’t everything but it sure beats los-ing”.

C’arn the Saints ‘n’ Bulldogs.

“It’s the fi rst time I’ve ever really had an injury,” he said.

With extensive rehabili-tation, he made a return for West Adelaide in round sev-en, collecting best on ground accolades in a good win over South Adelaide, before again being named best player in West’s loss to Port Adelaide in round eight.

Schiller said his form ahead of state team selec-

tion was probably key to his selection for South Australia, an experience he will cherish forever.

“Yeah, it feels great and it’s an honour to wear the guernsey,” he said.

After taking out the under 18 best and fairest trophy for West Adelaide last year, Schil-ler said he is unsure where his game has improved over recent seasons, although he said his mental approach has certainly evolved.

“I think I’m just more confi dent about my footy,” he said.

West Adelaide has also indicated to Schiller that he may play some senior footy this year, after mak-ing his reserves debut in the fi nal match of the 2009 season.

The fi nal South Aus-tralian list of 40 was trimmed to a squad of 25 last night, including three emergencies.

NAME: MICHAEL SCOTT

RISING STAR AWARD

ONE of several under 18s playing A grade football at Loxton North this season, Michael Scott has been a stand out contributor.

Speed and a smart foot-ball brain have served Michael well, along with the ability to take a strong overhead mark.

A best on ground per-formance against Barmera-Monash earns him this week’s Riverland Weekly rising star nomination.

MICHAEL SCOTT IS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR PERPETUAL

Schiller seeks SA selection

Locals takes on desert duelFORMER Australian Ex-treme 2WD champion Brad Gallard and his navigator, Scott Modis-tach and Geoff, Liz and Tyson Roe, with their Geiser Bros trophy trucks, and Scott Schiller and Leanne Walker, with a pro buggy, are representing

■ AT THE HELM: Brad Gallard will be behind the wheel in the coveted Finke Desert Race this weekend.By LES PEARSON

WAIKERIE footballer Josh Schiller will know this morn-ing if he has been selected in the South Australian under 18 team to take on the pow-erful Victoria Metro team at Norwood Oval this weekend.

The 17 year old has already played for the South Aussies in Darwin against the Northern Territory on the weekend and also in the belting of Western Australia in horrid

conditions at AAMI stadium two weeks ago.

He played about three quarters against WA, predom-inantly in the midfi eld in the 65 point victory.

But Schiller admitted he is lucky in some ways to don the Croweaters guernsey, after dislocating his shoulder earli-er in the season while playing for West Adelaide.

TELSTRA IN THE COMMUNITY

Telstra people are a part of many local communities throughout Australia. We play an integral role in keeping

people and communities across the country connected, using the very latest technology. It is Telstra Country

Wide’s vision that people in regional and rural Australia have access to the same innovative communications

that are available to people and businesses in major cities across the world.

We believe that a smart kid living in rural Australia should be able attend any university in the world online.

A fruit grower should be able to video call their customer in Japan to show the quality of their fruit on the tree.

An elderly sheep grazier should be able to video conference their city-based medical specialist from their local

regional health centre. Working hand in hand with our communities, we will make this happen.

Brett Riley, Group Managing Director, Telstra Country Wide

TCW ’S PL AN FOR THE FUTURE

The growth of our community support over the past 10 years is testament to the commitment we

have to the communities that our people live and work in. Whether it be financial assistance to

purchase much needed equipment and maintain facilities, or people, being there to deliver services

and rebuild in times of adversity, in essence it’s about bringing local communities together.

“Receiving a Telstra Connected Seniors Grant has helped us learn how to use mobiles

and computers in a relaxed, welcoming environment which makes it easier for them to

keep in touch with their families and friends.” Rosalie Crocker, CWA State President.

But it’s just the start; we look forward to continuing our commitment, now and into the future.
