borderline decision
I have one caller on tape threatening to bash me
By KEN DYASON A WEB site that has been a thorn in the side of Border councils and councillors will be back online on July 1. The author and host of Borderline, Paul Greene, says his work will continue to probe the activity of local, state and federal governments and their representatives. Mr Greene said he was transfer-
ring his site to a new server. “When we come back it will include all our past issues and archives,” he said. Borderline has upset many of those who have come under its notice over the past years. There have been numerous threats to sue the site and requests for articles to be withdrawn or for apologies to be published.
But Mr Greene says none of these have come to anything. “I have never published anything that I did not believe was true,” he said. “Of course people have come to me with stories that I have been able to prove were not true and so they have not been published.” Responding to a suggestion the site had been taken down as the

result of legal action, Mr Greene’s response was “that’s bullshit”. Among the threats have been at least one of physical harm to him. “I have one caller on tape threatening to bash me,” he said. “He didn’t take up my invitation for him to come and do it at the time.” Mr Greene said the sudden death of his wife last year from
acute leukaemia had led to him losing his drive to continue his work. “It certainly slowed me down, but the drive is starting to come back now,” Mr Greene said. Mr Greene said the removal of mature trees from a section of David Street was one issue in which he had become very interested. And it is a fair bet it will feature in a future edition of the new site.

By BLAIR THOMSON OPTUS has sought to clarify its plans for a 25m phone tower at the Thurgoona Golf Club following concerns from Thurgoona residents over the impact of the proposed tower. About 80 residents met with Optus and Albury Council officials in May to voice worries over the effect the tower would have on land values, health and the environment, and of what they said was a lack of community consultation from Optus. A second community forum with Optus and AlburyCity representatives will be held at the council chambers on July 4 and the council had extended the submissions process until June 14. Optus representatives told residents at the first forum that the plans met all relevant planning and communications laws, that the location near the greenkeeper’s maintenance grounds was the most suitable area and that the tower was necessary to meet growing demand for 3G coverage. Further information provided by Aurecon on behalf of Optus, which is available on AlburyCity’s website, details the selection process for the golf club site, lists why the site is the most suitable and again insists the plan meets all necessary planning and communication requirements. But Linda Winterbottom said the new information fails to address the key concerns of residents. “They failed to take up any of the offers from the

NIMBY view cannot be ignored THERE is little doubt that more and more of us are becoming participants in the brave new world of digital communication. Most of us at least have a mobile phone, even if it is just used for the occasional phone call. To the “true believers” mobiles are their connection to the world that is referred to constantly and used for a myriad of purposes. And if there is anything that annoys a mobile user it’s the loss of signal when moving around. While the major telcos tell us they have tremendous coverage, the reality is that there are many places where taking one step is enough to have a communication break down. And while we love our mobiles many of us do not trust them. There are plenty who believe that in years to come the community will face increased health problems linked to mobile use. And while we want the best reception we don’t want mobile towers anywhere near our homes. We cite health concerns and diminished property values as reasons why new towers should not be in our neighbourhood – while at the same time continuing the complaints about poor service. These apparent double standards must be driving the telcos mad. But they have to understand the reality of the situation. If they want to have their latest site approved they have to put up a good case and convince those living in the vicinity. Ignoring people’s concerns and adopting a crash through or crash mentality will not do. The Telcos are not known for their public relations finesse – just ask anyone who has been on hold or tried to get satisfaction over service. So it is not surprising there are right royal rows every time a new phone tower site is sought in residential areas. Objectors generally won’t just go away. And they won’t be ignored. They know they have the whip hand when it comes to local planning decisions and putting pressure on local politicians. The time has come for the Telcos to realise they are the ones working from the position of weakness. They ignore protesters at their peril.

Extending a helping hand
By trevor jackson BORDER children who are placed in out of home care could soon receive a more personal touch with Angels for the Forgotten looking to set up a branch in Wodonga. The organisation, founded by Melina Skidmore provides emergency packs and other advice and assistance to children living in care or crisis. Ms Skidmore was in care as a child and understands the experience, and hopes to open a branch here with the assistance of carers and the public. Administration Officer Out of Home Care for Upper Murray Family Care, Carolyn Gillard said
UMFC was keen to help get the program off the ground as soon as possible. “Melina was in foster care as a child and remembers going to homes and she didn’t want to ask for shampoo or soap, just the basic necessities,â€? Ms Gillard said. “She’s hoping to open a branch here in Wodonga, we have a few children that go into foster care ‌ they’ve just been taken out of home and don’t have anything with them and she will provide an emergency pack ‌ we’re just trying to get enough people to have a branch here.â€? Ms Gillard said they would source the packs from Wagga until they could open the branch here
on the Border and was hoping foster carers and others in the region would volunteer to ensure the important service takes place locally. “We’re hoping that we can supply our own packs so any child that goes into care can get one of these packs,� she said. “I think it’s just the ownership, people can feel proud that they are actually doing this for the children of their own town instead of having someone from an outside town helping us out.� Ms Gillard said there was definitely a call for the service here on the Border with “quite a few� children going into care in the region. The packs offered varied with age groups providing such items as
nappies, bottles and teddy bears for the 0-2 age group up to glue sticks and other activity items for other age groups and brushes, hair ties, deodorant, mental health packs and so on for teenagers. Ms Gillard said UMFC already provided items for the children placed in care but felt this service provided items very appropriate to what each child required. She said while there was a lot of work involved to ensure the service goes ahead she hoped something could be up and running within the next month. Of course services such as this require a volunteer base to survive and Ms Gillard said age wasn’t a factor to offer assistance.
“Every age group can come in and help us,� she said. “Even teenagers might want to come in and help us, to the people like old age pensioners who may need a hobby, they can come in and help out.� She said from a workers point of view they just wanted to help children that often didn’t receive the love and support they needed at home. She felt from a volunteers perspective, although they wouldn’t meet the children they could feel comfortable knowing that while the children were placed in a strange environment the little things they offered would make a big difference in that transition.

By BLAIR THOMSON THURGOONA schoolgirl Teagan Futcher is taking a leap into the ultra-competitive world of modelling. The 14-year-old will head to Parramatta next month to compete in the Girlfriend Rimmel Model Search after recently passing the first round of the competition. The winner will feature in several modelling campaigns and win a year’s supply of make up, but the relaxed, down to earth teenager is not too worried about the result. “I’d love to become a professional model,� she told NewsWeekly, “but I’m just going to go as myself, act like myself and not dress myself up too much.� She decided to enter the competition after hearing about
it through a friend and was encouraged by her classmates at Xavier High School. “It had never really crossed my mind until people said I should become a model because of my height and looks,� she said. She admitted to being nervous about the pressures of the industry were she to win, but her mum Sharon said she shouldn’t be concerned. “I’m trying to teach Teagan that whatever comes from whatever she tries to do, it’s the experience of doing it that counts and it’s great to have a go,� she said. “Certainly for this age, if it does lead to something, there will be a period where it will have to be under my approval. “But we’re not even thinking of that, it’s about having a go.�

Border Trust launches new grants program Border Trust in partnership with the Albury Wodonga YWCA and the Back to Reality Foundation has announced the launch of the 2011 community grants Program. Organisations seeking to deliver community based projects within the region are invited to apply for: • Border Trust 2011 Community Grants Program, supporting projects that will benefit our regional communities • Albury Wodonga YWCA, young women leading change grant program • Back to Reality Foundation grants, supporting youth initiatives across the region The Border Trust’s Executive Officer, Ms Glenys Atkins, urged community groups to find out more about the grants on offer through the Border Trust’s website or by telephoning the office. “We’ve kept the application process very user-friendly,” Ms Atkins said. “We realise that community groups are often manned by volunteers or staff who are stretched for time and can find the process a bit daunting.” “We know there are some fantastic projects out there which would really benefit from a small grant and we want to hear about them. “Sometimes as little as $500 or $1000 can have a huge impact on a group’s ability to deliver a program of real value and we’d love to be able to support as many projects as we can this year.” The Border Trust’s 2011 Community Grants Program is made possible by donations from people across the region it serves.
British veterans turn heads on Border
Morries real drawcard By BLAIR THOMSON THEY may be tiny but they certainly know how to draw a big crowd. Fifty three Morris Minors caught the attention of people at QEII Square last weekend, with a wide variety of the small British cars on display. Jeff and Julie Stanyer travelled from Numurkah in their 1958 Moris Minor Traveller for the annual Albury gathering. “It’s a fun car and a fun club,” Mr Stanyer said. “You meet people here today from about 10 clubs from all over the place and it’s great to have a chat about their vehicles. “The cars are easy to maintain, fun to drive and just a great car to ride in, which is why I love them.” Mr Stanyer said the Morris Minors Traveller series was quite rare. “They were never for sale here, they were only brought here by people who immigrated,” he explained. “You’ll see lots of other Minors around but only a few like this. “There’s probably only about 20 or 30 in the country that are registered.” While his car looks perfectly clean and tidy, that wasn’t always the case. “It belonged to a butcher

Making the most of new life
By TREVOR JACKSON BRIAN Hardaker has been living with Multiple Myeloma, a form of blood cancer since 2006. In April this year he and wife, Chris, departed their home in Western Australia on a three wheel motorcycle with the idea of raising awareness of the cancer and assuring sufferers of the disease that there was life after stem cell transplant. In Albury the pair shared their experiences with locals. Brian, who is in his 70s said he also hopes to raise around $50,000 for the Leukaemia
Foundation. “The foundation always quickly responded to our numerous needs during my treatment and this our way of repaying a little of is our debt of gratitude to all those people,” Brian said. Brian is currently in remission for the disease and said the treatment brought him close to death before his stem cell transplant and then the recovery process began. “We bought this bike and then decided that we’d do a trip around the country so we put a purpose to it,” Brian said.
“That is to talk to people who are undergoing treatment and try to convince them there’s life after a stem cell transplant because sometimes you think there isn’t and you don’t think you’re going to survive.” Brian said some of the most important factors in his treatment were pain control, setting goals and the support of his wife. “Chris has pushed me, sometimes mercilessly,” he said. “It’s tough, you think you’re going to die, there’s times you almost hope you are.”
A good crowd turned out to welcome Brian and Chris at Noreuil Park, a common theme of the trip. Brian and Chris met ballroom dancing and motorcycling back in the early 1960s and have been married for 48 years. Brian said it wasn’t important what you did for a hobby, the important thing was to set goals and to realise that an active life is a reality. “If Chris and I are stupid enough to buy a three wheel motorbike and ride around the country so can you,” Brian said.

By BLAIR THOMSON PARENTS with young children will attend open days at six Wodonga preschools this week to help them decide which facility best suits their children’s needs. Four preschools were inspected by parents earlier this week while Jamieson Court and Stanley Street will hold their open days today (Friday, June 17) from 9.30am to 11.30am. Natasha Styles said she hoped the open days would help her find a suitable school for her three-year-old-son Talan. “We’re going to go to four schools across the week,” she said. “We’re looking for quality facilities and small groups. “We’re also looking to see how the staff interact with the children and how the children interact with each other, and what the atmosphere’s like.” She said the new Southern Rise centre at Whitebox Rise was “absolutely beautiful”. “But I’m not sure; its a large group here and I might end up looking for something a
little bit smaller where they have a bit more one on one time with the teachers,” Ms Styles said. Wodonga Council early years team leader Shelli Hardwick said it was good for parents to see the preschools first hand. “It allows families to visit the services, talk to the teachers and look at how the program works in action,” she said. “Families tend to look at the program, how the program will meet their children’s needs and best prepare them for school, they look at the teachers and their specific programs and they might also look at the site and its surrounds.” Ms Hardwick said it was important that Wodonga residents applied for their preferred preschool soon. “First round offers close by July 31,” she said. “There will be opportunities to apply afterwards and possibilities of getting places for your children after that, but it’s always best to get in before July 31 because we can get 500 families over a preschool year.”

By BLAIR THOMSON STEELINE and McRae Motors have shown the benefits of local businesses working together. The Steeline Roofing Centre in Lavington recently took delivery of 14 Nissan Navara utility vehicles from Wodonga based McRae Motors. According to Steeline communications manager Emily Jones, the partnership shows that local companies can benefit by working with each other. “It’s all about local businesses supporting each other,” she said. “We’ve got a long standing relationship with them and we’ve been using them since we started business here in 1986. “We can access national fleet pricing but use a local dealer. “Being a local business they can give us the right price to purchase at that volume.” The dual cab utes will be used by Steeline staff to liase with customers. “It allows us to source work and ensure that our customers get service over and above,” Ms Jones said. “We’ve been going really strongly in the local area, most of our customers have been very successful and we’ve been really busy of late.

“So it’s been good.” The cars replace a fleet of Holden Crewman utes as part of an upgrade made every five years. “We’re really happy with McRae and how everything went so smoothly,” Ms Jones said. “These cars are certainly an upgrade, and are the biggest fleet we’ve ever purchased. “We’re the national Steeline base and our stores in Bathurst, Wagga, Shepparton and Corowa also purchased new fleet vehicles at the same time.”

Meeting to form activity club VICTORIA’S newest Life Activities Club will hold its inaugural public meeting in Wodonga on Wednesday, June 29. Wodonga Council first called for expressions of interest in forming the club in February and received 60 responses. The response has paved the way for the first public meeting to get the newest club off the ground. The meeting will be held in the Wodonga Council Chambers.
Wodonga LAC organiser Lindsay Doig said he was still hopeful of attracting more people to the club and urged those interested to attend the public meeting. Life Activities Clubs are made up mostly of people who are retired or approaching retirement who wish to maintain an active physical and social life. LACs (see www.life.org.au) are self-sustaining social networks offering a wide range of social and
recreational opportunities, run by the members, for the members. Members are usually over 50 years of age, male or female, singles or couples. There are more than 20 clubs around Victoria so far. They don’t compete with existing groups such as sporting clubs or University of the Third Age, rather they work with them. Typical activities for clubs include eating/drinking, cinema, mu-
sic (listening and playing), cards, computers, photography, armchair travel, family history, writing, reading, dancing, bike riding, table tennis, craft, bird-watching, tai chi, philosophy, current events discussion groups, caravanning, Scrabble, cooking ... the list is endless. Mr Doig, who is president of Life Activities Clubs Victoria, said he was hopeful a Wodonga club would be formed. “We have had tremendous sup-
port from from the Wodonga council,” he said. “They have gone out of their way in helping us out.” Mr Doig said the Life Activities organisation encouraged its member club to join community events. “We are looking at supporting a “brain health” walk in the new year, we always get involved in seniors week activities and later this year we are organising a combined clubs day at Ballarat,” he said.

Expert to judge prize Highly acclaimed Australian arts patron, Dr Gene Sherman will return to Albury later this year to judge the Albury Art Prize. Dr Sherman, who is Chairman and Executive Director of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, judged the prize in 2009. AlburyCity Visual Arts Co-ordinator, Bianca Acimovic says the gallery is thrilled that Dr Sherman has agreed to again judge the art prize. The art prize is one of Australia’s oldest art awards, and was set up to identify emerging and semiprofessional artists. First prize is a $20,000 international residency. Ms Acimovic says the prize provides these artists with a significant boost in their career development – 2009 winner, Cathy O’Donnell travelled and studied in Venice.

THE new Soden’s Hotel is now open for business following a renovation worth more than $3 million aimed at restoring the historic venue to its former glory. About 800 people attended a preview party last Thursday prior to the official re-opening of the pub the following day. Gone is the ageing interior, sticky floors and the stench of old beer, replaced instead with a sleek, modern interior and range of new features and facilities. The entire building was gutted in the renovations with structural, plumbing and the electrical system all replaced. Licensee Craig Shearer hopes the new venue will attract a range of patrons with a new family-friendly feel.

Driving myths put to the test STUDENTS who believe they can control a vehicle while under the effects of alcohol could have their beliefs put to the test at PCYC Albury next week. Sidne, a modified go-kart that simulates impaired driving, will be in Albury for a week with a public launch of the scheme next Tuesday, June 21. Phil Thorneycroft of MICEEP said the aim of the visit was to show youngsters just how dangerous drink-driving can be. Students are given the opportunity to drive the go-kart around an obstacle course, wearing fatal vision alcohol goggles. The go-kart is under the
control of an instructor with a remote control to ensure safety. The program is aimed at students in Years 10 to 12 who have their learner’s permit. Mr Thorneycroft said the organisers were looking for community groups to become involved in the project, to run regular events in the future. The whole Sidne program involves a range of information about the dangers of drinkdriving. Included are the physiology of how alcohol affects the human body, the law and traffic penalties, drunk driver dangers, strategies to prevent impaired driving and standard drinks
and first aid. Mr Thorneycroft said the program has been run successfully in schools in southern NSW, and it was hoped there would be sufficient support for it to be conducted in Albury. “If we can save one life it is worth it,� he said. Interested individuals and groups can find out more about the program from Mr Thorneycroft at MICEEP on 6023 4488. The launch of the project will be held at Albury PCYC at 10.30am on Tuesday. The launch will include an explanation of the sessions, morning tea and a presentation by the Volunteer Rescue Association.

Revamped clinic to meet
AC Chiropractic Clinic senior chiropractor Charlie Kathopoulis sees people with a wide range of health problems each day. Whether it’s pain, sports injuries or a common headache, Mr Kathopoulis and his staff know how to solve a range of issues that clients present with. “We have a whole gamut of problems that people come in here for,” he said. “We get kids with bed-wetting problems, people with lower back pain and headaches, which is what everyone associates chiropractors with, sports injuries, we do a lot of work with the Department of Veterans Affairs and we have a huge Workcover base,” he said. “We focus on muscular-skeletal problems and keeping people in alignment and functioning as well as they can. “On top of that, we’ve got basic podiatry, a huge supplement range and a naturopath on board as well.” To ensure accurate and effective treatment, Mr Kathopoulis will first look at a new patient’s health history. “Usually we’ll get them x-rayed and do a comprehensive case history first to see what’s going on,” he said. “From there we’ll generally do, for lack of a better term, a grease and oil change. “It’s about keeping the spine in line and getting their body to work better, more efficiently and make them feel better. “If we feel that someone else can help them, we’ll refer them to someone like a physiotherapist, massage therapist, a GP or a specialist.” The AC Chiropractic Clinic, located in Englehardt Street in Albury, has an interesting history.
friendly: The staff at AC Chiropractic Clinic provide a wide range of services and know how to solve a variety of health concerns. Picture: blair thomson “This building was apparently one of the farms that belonged to a guy called Charles Englehardt, who the street is named after,” Mr Kathopoulis explained. “They subdivided the farm in 1901, so it was a rickety old building with a few extensions on it and it was quite small. “Because the building was so old, there were no foundations, and some of the walls were leaning out and about to collapse. “We wanted to renovate it in such a way to make it more usable and modern.”
Thanks to builders Fredericks and McClelland, the clinic now operates in a muchimproved facility. “They did a great job,” Mr Kathopoulis explained, “and we didn’t have to shut the practice except for one Saturday morning to finish off the flooring.” Thanks to modern techniques and a range of safety measures, Mr Kathopoulis is certain that his treatments are both safe and beneficial. “There are a fair few studies on how safe
it is … statistically the probability of a catastrophic event, depending on who you read, ranges from one in one million to one in 10 million,” he said. “The techniques use very low force and are very quick, so we don’t have that traditional danger of fractures or breaks. “Our patients comment that they experience a range of health benefits from our work and feel fitter and much healthier following their visit.” To make a booking phone 6021 3879.

BUILDERS: Fredericks & McClelland, located at Wagga Road, Lavington, is a true success story. Picture: blair thomson
BORDER building company Fredericks & McClelland is a true success story. The company has built a reputation over the past two decades as a quality builder specialising in new homes, light commercial buildings and renovations. The company is the brainchild of Robert Frederick and John McClelland. Amazingly, the two have worked together their entire working lives. “We both did apprenticeships, and we’ve worked together in one way or another ever since,” Mr McClelland said. “It’s been about four decades now and we’re still going strong.” The success of the company lies in the ability of the duo and their team to meet customer needs. According to Mr McClelland, their reputation is what’s allowed them to excel in the building industry for such a long time. “We don’t really advertise … we pretty much do everything word of mouth,” he explained.
“That means people out there are happy with our results and are telling their families, their friends and their colleagues about us. “The finished product is what brings us work. “Plus, we’ve had many repeat clients that have built with us several times.” Fredericks & McClelland works with clients to create a design that suits their needs, and their budgets, ranging from small jobs right through to million dollar projects. “It’s all about meeting the client’s needs and dreams,” Mr Frederick said. “We create something that suits them and work closely with them to ensure that they’re completely happy.” Prospective clients can visit their showroom at 315 Wagga Road, Lavington, to chose from the range of options and accessories on display. Recent customer Charlie Kathopoulis from the AC Chiropractic Clinic was impressed with the renovations Fredericks & McClelland made
to his Englehardt Street facility. “We wanted to renovate it in such a way to make it more usable and modern,” he said. “They did a great job and we didn’t have to shut the practice except for one Saturday morning to finish off the flooring. “We’re extremely happy with the results, it couldn’t have possibly gone any better.” The renovations created a bigger waiting room, new and improved toilets, a new roof and created more modern facilities. With a keen eye for detail, the company has been the recipient of many awards. “We’ve won nearly 20 HIA awards, which we’re quite proud of,” Mr McClelland said. “It really is a fantastic partnership and we hope to continue providing our customers with fantastic results and service for many years to come.” Fredericks & McClelland can be contacted on 6025 8211 or 0418 578 134.

A comedy of errors – the great dinner debacle PAUL MUNTZ
F
or the past 35 odd years, I have been an enthusiastic member of the Border Wine and Food Society. Under our rules, two members organise each monthly dinner, with complete control over the venue, food presented, and the wines to match. It is always a challenge, and the job comes around just often enough (about once a year) to keep the enthusiasm quotient up. My turn came around again a few weeks ago and I was partnered by a newer member of the Society. Our planning began a couple of months ago, with wines accumulated, venue selected, concepts discussed (always over a bottle of wine), tasks allocated and generally the wheels put in motion.
The first “sniff” of trouble
For the bus trip to the venue (Waddingtons at Kergunyah), we decided that a cleansing ale would be nice, matched with a “digestif” brew for the trip home. I had a particular beer in mind for the post-dinner trip, a sweet and full flavoured drop from
It just got worse …
After a successful first course of canapés and two lovely French Champagnes, we repaired to the dining table and were served a superbly presented entrée of seared scallops. The matching wine was a rare 1997 Macon Clessè, of which I think I had the last three bottles in Australia – not an expensive wine, just hard to find. And that’s when I broke the first cardinal wine rule – always check the wine before serving.
But I didn’t, did I?
Firstly, only one of the three bottles was
So was that the end of it?
My partner and I sank into a sea of complacency, as the main course came and went with great success, and the cheese course appeared. I wandered over to the bar to collect the matching wines for the cheese. The sensation I experienced, when I realised the wines were on the front seat of the bus (now back in Albury), is hard to describe. Let’s just say that divorce, a death in the family or a force nine hangover all take second place to that sinking feeling. My first reaction? I phoned the bus driver and told him to hurry back – we would pay all speeding tickets he picked up on the return trip to the restaurant. My second reaction? Grabbing a couple of bottles from a nearby wine rack
to keep the “troops” from revolting (food NEEDS wine).
A happy ending?
Yes and no. The cheese dish came and went (without the matching wines, which arrived a half an hour too late), but the house brulee of gorgonzola dulce, matched with a 15 year old French “stickie”, was just yummy. And the 25 year old Morris Vintage Port (lovingly shipped back by the bus driver just in time) was a delightful finish to the evening. The lessons? After about 40 years of putting the fruit of the vine through my kidneys, you would think that I had picked up a few “street smarts”. Reassuringly, all members said they had had a great time and seemed to ignore/ overlook our “hiccups”. But I learnt there is no room for complacency – attention to detail is everything and a smug wine person is only a “bees proverbial” away from disaster. And before I forget – Waddingtons was magnificent, with superb food lovingly prepared and beautifully presented. Our problems were all ours, not theirs.
Tip for the week?
- Always check the condition of wine before serving, and - Plan a Sunday lunch at Waddingtons – 6027 5393 – it’s good for the soul. Next week: Uluru – not quite the “red” centre.
A six-month head start Apply direct to La Trobe now for a July start Don’t wait for the beginning of next year when you can start uni mid-year. It’s as simple as applying direct to La Trobe Uni. Undergrad and postgrad courses are now available in the study areas of Accounting, Arts, Business, Environmental Management and Ecology, Psychology and Sciences. The advantage of starting halfway through the year is obvious. The courses take no longer, so you are immediately six months closer to achieving your goals. Don’t wait. Your time has come.

chilled (because of a mix up in my instructions to the house) – so, we decided to pour the chilled wine into the glass and then “top up” with the room temperature bottles. Good idea? Nope. Half way through the second bottle, one of our astute members called out “cork taint”. So the first bottle and a half were “chucked” and we had to settle for a bottle and a half of wine for the whole table. Two bad mistakes – failure to check bottle temp and not sniffing before serving. The course could have been a disaster, but the remaining wine was good and the food was brilliant. Phew!

the Bootleg Brewery in Margaret River. After many phone calls and enquiries, my partner placed an order for two boxes from the Brewery, some three to four weeks before the dinner. Two weeks later, when the consignment had not arrived, he called the Brewery and was told – “Mate I remember the order – we really must get it away to you soon”. The first sense of panic developed. On the afternoon of the dinner itself, the beer had still not arrived and “plan B” (a trip to Uncle Dan’s) was called for. Predictably, the beer arrived the day after the dinner (or at least half of it did – the other half still hadn’t left the brewery). My partner and I worked out that we had got all the bad luck out of the way early, so it should be a dream run for the rest of the event. Wrong. At 4pm that afternoon, two last minute cancellations. Nothing else could go wrong, could it?

Gina loves to mentor stars of the future
By BLAIR THOMSON OUNTRY music star Gina Jeffreys will give country music fans a taste of the old and the new during her gig at the Commercial Club tonight (Friday, June 17). Jeffreys, 43, will be joined on stage by four budding female musicians known as The Apprentices who are aged between 17 and 19. “We came up with this idea to support these young artists because lots of them release an album and you never hear from them again,” she told NewsWeekly from her NSW Central Coast home. “I’m doing hands on work with them once a week talking to them about media, the stage, costumes, live shows, image, every single thing about the music industry. “It’s me being in a position to introduce the future of country music to the audience. “I’ve been in the industry for 20 years and they’re just starting out, which is an exciting concept for a show.” Life in the country music scene is quite enjoyable for Jeffreys. While she rates her Toyota Star Maker Quest and multiple Golden Guitar awards as high on her list of achievements, she describes the friendships made through the industry as more important. “I met my husband through the music industry and Casey Chambers too, and Beccy Cole, she was my bridesmaid,” she said. “Those friendships mean more than the Golden Guitars. “It’s like a big family where we are all mates. “We’ve all got kids the same age and they’re all friends and there’s no jealously,

no competition amongst my peers, it’s a really nice scene.” Jeffreys first developed a love of country music while growing up in Toowoomba in Queensland. “My parents played it when I was little and you’re really captive to the music that your parents play,” she said. “I couldn’t go out and buy my own music, so I think that’s where I’ve ended up. “Songs like Crazy, He Thinks I Still Care and I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry, that’s what I grew up listening to … there weren’t too many other genres in their collection.” She first started performing at the tender age of 12 at local restaurants and eventually formed a band at 15. She would continue playing local gigs until the Star Maker Quest thrust her into the spotlight at 22. “I didn’t just step onto the stage at Starmaker but it certainly was my first and only talent quest,” she said. “It was the beginning of it taking off. “I went to Sydney and got a manager and got a record deal and then we sold platinum albums pretty quickly.” She never looked back, touring tirelessly throughout Australia to large audiences and much applause. But nowadays she is more focussed on mentoring up and coming artists and playing the role of wife and mother, playing far fewer live shows. “But playing live is still a heap of fun,” she said. “I definitely prefer playing in nice big country towns like Albury, Wagga, Shepparton, because we always get good crowds.”

Award-winning play brings back the memories
School days on stage By BLAIR THOMSON AWARD winning play Silent Disco is now showing at the Butter Factory Theatre following rave reviews in Sydney and Penrith. The script is the creation of drama and English teacher Lachlan Philpott and was crafted from his experiences in the classroom. It tells the story of Tamara and Squid, two year 10 public school students that recently started dating. “They both come from broken, disadvantaged homes and it follows 16 weeks of their relationship,” said Sophie Hensser, who plays Tamara. “You get introduced to their family lives and what’s going on at home ... it’s a beautiful, intimate look into the lives of the characters and what’s going on with kids in public schools.” Hensser hasn’t been a student for five years, but said she instantly felt younger when she donned her character’s school uniform for the first time. “It was strange putting on the uniform again,” she said. “It brought back that kind of cheeky side of my personality. “I’ve been so focused on work and being an adult and it kind of gave me a new freedom. “When me and Meyne Wyatt, who plays Squid, get into our uniforms we instantly feel much younger and we start messing around more; there’s a freedom to being a kid and being rebellious and loud.”
RAVE REVIEWS: Camilla Ah Kin and Sophie Hensser star in the award winning production of Silent Disco. Picture: blair thomson
She believes Lachlan Philpott “nailed” the high school experience in the script. “This is his story, his experiences from the classrooms as a teacher,” she said. “These are his kids, he knows these people. “He’s essentially celebrating the school community and a lot of the problems, a lot of the
themes he’s written about are real.” The character of Ms Petchall, played by Camilla Ah Kin, is also central to the Silent Disco story. “Everyone’s had that teacher that cares about the students so much and hopefully she has the essence of that teacher that everyone in the audience will recognise,” Ah Kin said.
“The kids that come to the performance think it’s all about them, then the teachers come and think it’s all about them. “It’s got a much broader appeal than what we realised when we first started.” Silent Disco will run at the Butter Factory Theatre on the Lincoln Causeway until Saturday, June 25.

MOVIEREVIEW By BLAIR THOMSON MOVIE: Super 8 (M) DURATION: 112 minutes HE problem with the sci-fi and action genres often lies in their overreliance on big explosions and computer generated graphics to make up for scripts which can be criminally bad. Remember how good the first Matrix was with its intriguing, thought-provoking story line? Remember how that was soured by the next two instalments that focused almost entirely on wowing viewers with overblown graphics and pointless action scenes? Thankfully the creators of Super 8 (no less than J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg) have crafted a story equally as masterful as the first Matrix with perfectly balanced special effects and the right blend of action and dialogue. The film focuses on a mysterious train crash in the small Ohio town of Lillian in 1979. A group of young children, lead superbly by actors Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning and Kyle Chandler, are filming a home movie at the local train station when the crash occurs . Engines and assorted metal items along with pets and people go missing and the air force refuses to explain why it’s giving so much attention to the train wreck and its cargo. The unknown protagonist is ever present in the film, making it incredibly gripping to audience members who will be questioning what is happening almost to the end. The film slowly builds up, gaining momentum with each passing minute. While the eventual conclusion to this brilliant film is not entirely befitting of the proceeding 100-odd minutes and almost feels a bit rushed, Super 8 is one of the best releases this year and is certainly a must see.

SUPER SALMON RISOTTO
(Serves 3 as mains, or 4 as entrÊe) - 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil - 50g butter - 1 large onion, finely chopped - 1 small clove garlic, chopped - 1 cup arborio rice - 250g button mushrooms, sliced - 2 cups (500 ml) hot chicken or veg stock - 1 cup (250 ml) dry white wine - finely grated zest of ½ lemon - salt to taste - freshly ground pepper - ½ cup frozen baby peas - 300g salmon fillet, cut into 5mm thick strips In a large, deep microwave-safe dish (two litre capacity) microwave the oil and butter on high for 30 seconds. Add onion and garlic and cook for four minutes. Add the rice, mushrooms, stock, wine, lemon zest, salt and pepper and stir well. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes. Stir well and cook a further eight minutes, or until rice is cooked. Stir in the peas, cover and leave to stand for two minutes when peas will cook in the heat of the rice. Fold the salmon through, cover and leave a further two minutes when salmon will cook through and be beautifully moist.Gently flake rice with a fork and serve.

oses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create as much work as people think and it is hard to imagine a garden without at least one bush. Not only do they produce some of the most beautiful flowers but they need very little care, and not much water at all, if their needs are attended to when you first plant them. They are good here along the Border because they are tough enough to withstand heat, drought and frosts. They like the sun, though will flower better if protected from the late afternoon summer sun. These bushes will even withstand wind, though the flowers will suffer of course. Choose the variety you want according to the role you hope they will play in your garden. You may want them to be an outstanding feature, either one alone such as a weeping rose, or in a bed of their own, or you might just want the odd one in between other plants. They may be required to develop as a border, to provide colour behind a low hedge (standards are good in this situation) or even as a container plant. Then again, you may have a pillar or pergola you want roses to cover. Roses are ready in the nurseries now. Always buy good strong plants. Make sure the root system is well-developed and that there are no signs of disease or bugs. Have some knowledge of the colour. Even know the variety you want. Roses will appreciate going into soil which has been prepared with decomposed manure or compost dug into it. Ensure drainage is good. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like their roots to be constantly wet. Have a hole ready for the little plant to go into. Most of them are sold as bare-rooted plants. Create a little mound in the hole and spread the roots of the plant down over it. Never cover the graft with soil when you fill in the hole. Give them some water.

Our views are put to leaders At the recent REINSW mid-year State Conference attended by Anthony Roberts, NSW Minister for Fair Trading, we were given an opportunity to express our concerns about some of the issues impacting our profession and industry. As a consequence of the Minister’s attendance and presentation, REINSW was afforded a further opportunity to talk with the Minister’s office and on June 10 we were able to set out some of the problems, the effect of these problems and the solutions, as we see them. One of the major issues discussed was the entry-level training requirements rumoured to be set out under the National Occupational Licensing System (NOLS), the associated harmonisation project, and the apparent failure to introduce compulsory professional indemnity insurance as part of NOLS. Under NOLS, which is due to commence on July 1, 2012, it is rumoured that national educational requirements will fall in line with what we believe to be the woefully inadequate system currently in place in NSW, where a person can be trained to receive a Certificate of Registration and start practising as a real estate professional after as little as two days’ training. We also raised some concerns about the Residential Tenancies Act 2010. We provided examples of areas where the new act is failing and the remedial action required to address these issues.

www.reinsw.com.au While we are supportive of the Government’s one-year extension of the “empty nester’s” stamp duty exemption to include those over 55, we believe the exemption can be extended further to include existing homes, rather than just new dwellings. The NSW Treasurer Mike Baird attended the REINSW/Direct Connect ‘Industry inFocus’ lunch on June 10. This lunch gave senior industry stakeholders an opportunity to discuss a wide range of contemporary issues impacting the industry. REINSW has an important role to play in the development of policy that affects our profession and industry. We will be working with the new Government on planning and taxation, and the regulatory environment of the real estate industry.

We’re helping spread the word “People are generally not confident about the economy and the future … there does not seem to be a lot of confidence in the government and this is having an impact on the market.” Mr Hutton cited uncertainly over the proposed carbon tax as one reason for people being reluctant to take the plunge and make major purchases like a new home. But advertising in NewsWeekly helped get the message across to the maximum number of potential buyers that there were many good value properties for sale in the region. This was an essential part of making the most of the opportunities available for both sellers and buyers.
Simply the best choice of land

Hutton Real Estate is continuing to kick goals through its advertising with NewsWeekly. Business principal Barry Hutton said that in a quiet market he was still achieving sales that are directly attributable to its NewsWeekly advertising. Mr Hutton said the sale of a property at 417 Stephens Street, was a prime example. The three bedroom plus sleepout home which included all the features for family living sold quickly when advertising in NewsWeekly. Mr Hutton said he was happy with the response from his advertising. “There is no doubt the market is quiet at the moment,” Mr Hutton said.

Cycling club adds to its talent pool ALBURY Wodonga Cycling Club Development has continued its growth with the addition of two under 17 riders to the squad. Ryan Allen and Liam McAlister have been given the opportunity to be part of the development program provided by the squad in what junior development officer, Brendan Washington said was a positive move forward for both the squad and the Border juniors. “It’s something we’re fairly passionate about, to always keep growing, and we’re particularly trying to develop younger guys,” he said. “It offers them the opportunity to ride in a team situation and become familiar with cycling as a sport in the team aspect so if they go on and ride for a bigger team or go overseas they have that process in place.” The team has expanded from four members in 2007 to almost a full team with six senior riders, two under 17 riders, a manager and two coaching support staff. Washington said it would allow the junior riders to compete in junior and senior races and allow them to grow in a team environment and progress through to the senior ranks. “The best example would be Declan Gregory,” he said. “He’s gone from being an under 19 kid who started out with us to riding in the Victorian Country Road title and being a big part of that race.” “It’s exciting for the team to take on these young guys and develop them into successful athletes.” “The guys we have are all good, they’re dedicated and the younger guys are definitely showing dedication to the sport.” He noted that the recent results from the squad were proof the system they have in place paid dividends. “We’ve gone from being over the moon about winning a race to having won three races with four or five top 10 finishes this year so it works,” Washington said. Allen is a relative newcomer to the sport with some road experience at Wangaratta with Lavington Panthers junior club and a bit of experience on the velodrome while McAlister is more experienced with a couple of seasons under his belt.
Border boys display heaps of fight at titles ALBURY Cougars under 18 boys basketball team have returned to the Border after a big Queen’s Birthday weekend of competition in the NSW Junior Country Championships as runners up. The team was defeated in the grand final by just five points by powerhouse club Newcastle in a big turn around from their first round pool match. “We’d played Newcastle in the first pool game on the Saturday and they beat us by 25,” coach Andrew Harmer said. “We made it very difficult for ourselves by dropping two pool games so it was a struggle to get into the semi. Once we were there we won the semi against Moss Vale by two points.” Harmer said the team approached the weekend with a lot more confidence than their previous NSW Southern Junior
League games and he felt their defensive effort paid dividends throughout the competition. “A couple of the younger guys like Tyler Lampe really stepped up this weekend,” he said. “He did a real good job defensively ... whoever their best players were Tyler and Lachlan Fraser were playing on them and did an outstanding job.” He said after coming together early in the year to train for the SJL competition the team was beginning to peak and was controlling the floor well. “The big fellows are starting to get some of the ball now so it’s not just about the little fellows any more,” he said. “We’ve actually got two fellows that are six foot five and it helps us out a lot. They hadn’t done a lot of post work so it’s actually good to get them into sets
now and let the big fellows bang bodies and get the job done for us.” Harmer said the team approached the Country tournament as they had done with the SJL all season running their usual offensive sets but applauded his young charges for their knowledge of the game and ability to apply change when required. “With our defence, we hadn’t pressed all year or played any zone whatsoever and the boys picked it up straight away and knew what was going on,” he said. “All I had to do was a little diagram on my white board and they were laughing … they’ve all got good basketball brains.” Harmer considered his team performed exceptionally against much bigger sides like Newcastle
and Dubbo and praised the boys for their fearless approach. “They went really good,” he said. “They would have been worried to start off with I would imagine but once they got out there and figured we could keep up with these teams that are bigger and quicker they really took the bull by the horns and did everything they could.” With seven games across the weekend the team’s fitness was certainly tested and Harmer put that down to personal commitment by each player. “A couple of them are in the Bandits squad, like Luke Campbell, so they’re all doing their own training,” he said. “We also had Jacob Cincurak for the weekend and he’s an under 16 state team captain so that made it a lot easier for us.”
Struggling Bandits looking for a way to lift profile
STRUGGLING: The Bandits will welcome the return of US import Travis Gabbidon to their ranks. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON
THE Border Bandits are suffering. A very ordinary first half of the SEABL season doesn’t look like abating any time soon following their comprehensive defeat at the hands of Geelong on the weekend. Excuses can be made – injuries, poor form, problems with import players – but the fact remains, they’ve won just a solitary game this season and fans are disappointed. A lack of funding seems to be one of the biggest issues the club faces as they compete in the second strongest basketball league in the country and sponsorship dollars are desperately needed to ensure this valuable asset remains in our region. Despite a seemingly bottomless pit of cash for other mainstream sports such as country football the national based Bandits can’t seem to attract the dollars they need to compete at a much higher level of competition than our O&M footy clubs. The Bandits run the tightest budget in the league with player payments basically non-existent and thus struggle to keep local
talent involved in the sport or attract other quality players to the region. The question needs to be asked: despite having competed in the competition for over 25 years, will the team continue struggling or will the already tight budget simply dry up and the team become a distant memory? And while coach, Ian Gallaway described the situation as dire he said there were positives from the largely negative year and that lies in the three year plan imposed some 18 months ago. Gallaway told NewsWeekly that the idea of building the ranks through local player involvement was in fact coming to fruition but in itself created another set of issues for the struggling club. The team has progressed from a playing roster of around 11 last season to 15 this season providing more competition for court time. The return of US import, Travis Gabbidon also stands to bolster the line-up and provide the team with as talent boost.
Matthew runs into plenty of form ALBURY’S Matthew Gibney has again placed the Border region on the international stage with AllAmerican honours after a fourth place finish in the 1500m run at the NCCA championships in the US on the weekend. His finishing time of 3:44.38 was his best of the season despite a stumble on the final lap. After running in 11th position an impressive effort down the home stretch gave Gibney the honours in a stellar season to date. This includes a Championship of America distance relay title for Villanova, All-Big East recognition in the 800m and the fastest 1500m time in the national quarter finals at the NCAA East Regional event. HOCKEY Albury Wodonga’s senior men’s team has taken a decisive 9-1 victory over Warnambool at the Victorian Country Championships in Melbourne over the weekend. The team consisted mainly of Spitfire state league team players
and were favourites to make it a hat-trick of titles, and didn’t disappoint, dominating the event. The team were undefeated throughout the tournament scoring 20 goals and conceding only two. The one sided final was a true indication of the the strength of the Border outfit. Also successful at the tournament were the veteran men’s 1 with a 3-1 win over Geelong, the veterans 2 finishing runners up to Central Victoria and the under 17s who finished in third place. In the wash-up 12 Albury Wodonga players have been selected in the Victorian Country team to compete in the Australian Country Championships in Port Lincoln from July 30 to August 6. The association also sent three junior girls teams to compete at the Canberra Junior Girls Carnival recording its best results since attending the competition. The under 17 and under 15 teams both managed a third place
finish with the under 13s coming fourth. AS the V8 Supercar series heads to Darwin’s Hidden Valley Raceway for the SKYCITY Triple Crown, Border racer, David Reynolds is looking for a good result on the mix of soft and hard tyres. “Running on the hard tyre for most of the weekend should suit both me and our Stratco Commodore,” Reynolds said. “My driving style seems to suit the hard tyre more. “Funnily enough, in 2009 it used to suit the soft tyre better but I’ve changed my driving style and the cars have changed a bit since then, so that’s just a case of things evolving. Hopefully we have a good weekend in Darwin.” And the Brad Jones Racing stable would be hoping to emulate its winning result from Winton with another podium at Hidden Valley. Jones was eagerly awaiting the Darwin round of the series with the
his drivers and cars currently being some of the fastest in the field. “It doesn’t really matter whether it’s Barbagallo with no grip or Winton under tough conditions, we can get the job done which is exciting, I can’t wait to get to Darwin,” Jones said.

ISN’T it disturbing when adult egos take over junior sporting events. There’s nothing worse than sitting on the sidelines watching your child participate in their chosen sport and seeing the crowd erupt aggressively or the coach verbally abusing his players for not winning the game. I always considered the job of a coach to be one of encouragement, win or lose. And I’ve seen it happen time
and time again across a range of sports, begging the question, who is the coach there for? Are the coaches stroking their own inflated egos or are they really there for the children? And to be fair, what about the attitude of those parents sitting in the wings? The abuse that is hurled at children on the opposite team by so called responsible adults is often as bad as you’d witness at a professional sporting event, hurled at children, that is, who have not even reached their teenage years! And of course there are those who bend the rules to hand pick teams with the sole intention of winning at all cost with no regard for those playing by those designated rules and competing on what should be an even playing field. What a sad state of affairs our junior sporting fixtures have become when the message being sent by those they respect is one of utter disgust!

Saints to stumble over Roos
MY fears last week regarding my support of Myrtleford have proven to be unfounded with the Saints taking a solid 73-54 point win over Wodonga. Of course I never doubted they’d rise to the challenge! What it does is place them one win clear of the Bulldogs now with three victories for the season and almost a certainty to stay clear of bottom position for the remainder of the season. I have to say I expected a little more from Lavington but their 108-85 win over Corowa-Rutherglen was more than enough to take the points. A strong third term kept the Roos in the game, helped along by a big eight goal effort from Dean Bruce but a four goal final term gave the Panthers the nod. The Hoppers finally managed to expel their demons and take a 79-47 win over the Rovers to stay ahead of the resurgent Saints on the ladder and return some form of respectability to their season. Albury, as expected, returned to form to take a comprehensive 153-87 win over Wangaratta with their inclusion of Marty Thompson proving beneficial up forward. Thomson would have to be pleased with the way his season has panned out, the lifeline offered by the Tigers taking him from villain to victor in a matter of days! However the surprise of the round would certainly have to be the Raiders’ 94-70 win over Yarrawonga, and the Pigeons must be kicking themselves after their last big effort against the Tigers. Maybe a little complacency crept in but either way it keeps
against the Panthers and I think they can continue that momentum this week and take the points in a close tussle. Albury will need to be on their game against Lavington but the Panthers won’t have the fire-power to overcome the Tigers. Yarrawonga are sure to bounce back against the Hoppers and Wangaratta won’t have a problem accounting for Wodonga. In the last match the Raiders will take another victory over Wangaratta Rovers.

MYselections LIFELINE: Marty Thompson repaid the Tigers faith in his ability with four goals for his new club Picture: blair thomson the Raiders in touch with the top four and an almost certain win this weekend could close the gap, should the Pigeons have another momentary lapse of reason!
On to this week’s games and ardent Saints supporters may be excused for thinking last week’s victory could herald the beginning of a three game winning streak.
However, while I put my neck on the line last week and the Saints repaid my faith I’m hesitant to take another punt this week. The Roos looked too strong
