Cumberoona will be sold: Sawyer UNSURE: The future of the Cumberoona is still uncertain despite Albury council calling for tenders to fix the vessel. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON.

By BLAIR THOMSON ALBURY Councillor Philomena Sawyer has slammed the state of Border tourism, saying Albury Wodonga has virtually no tourist draw-cards and is preparing to sell its main attraction. Responding to news the coun-

cil is seeking tenders to repair the Paddle Steamer Cumberoona and then seek operators for the vessel, Cr Sawyer said it was more likely the vessel would be repaired and then sold. “We’ll spend a lot of money on the walkway out to Wonga Wet-

lands but why are we going to do that if we’re getting rid of the Cumberoona?” she asked. “OZ.e.Wildlife’s just about ruined, the Ettamogah Pub’s gone. “The Murray’s beautiful and the Botanical Gardens is a jewel in our crown but we need more.

“I don’t understand why council would spend $400,000 a year attracting tourists when they stay at our hotels but then spend their money at places like Beechworth and Rutherglen.” Cr Sawyer said she attended a recent tourism conference that

highlighted the need for something, like the PS Cumberoona, to set Albury apart from other towns. “We need to look at ways to spend money and get people to stay and not just spend their money on accommodation,” she said. Continued page 2

By BLAIR THOMSON THE $50 million Volt Lane Development is running on schedule and on budget, according to its project manager. Nathan Smith from Doma Constructions said the massive development, which will house the seven-storey Australian Tax Office and five storey, 497 space public car park, had up to 60 people working on the project each day. “We’re on target to have the car park completed by Christmas and then the Tax Office building on the Smollett Street end will be complete by October next year,”

Mr Smith explained. “It’s going to look striking once it’s all finished.” The car park now stands at two-storeys with a concrete pump capable of pouring 50 cubic metres an hour recently laying the second level slab. Excavation for the ATO building is 90 per cent complete and the building of the structure has commenced. That should be complete by Christmas with a fit-out of the building to commence soon after. Concrete water tanks with a total capacity of 100,000 litres have also been installed.

Time to act on rising costs

Act now, and save WITH Energy prices rising and predicted to rise even more, now is the perfect time for home builders, home owners and businesses to investigate sound strategies and products that can reduce their power bills. The NSW, Victorian and Federal Government have recently announced changes to the solar bonus scheme which has led to confusion in the minds of people looking to use solar as a way to manage the cost of energy use in their premises. The fact remains that taking steps to reduce your home or office’s energy consumption is still a wise strategy moving forward. There are still excellent government rebates available for home owners and business that take steps to lower their electricity usage, and with the 66c premium feed in tariff closing soon in Victoria now is the time. Planet Power wants to get the message across that rebates are still available and system prices are reduced.

THE talents of up to 2,500 Border youngsters will go on show at the AlburyWodonga Eisteddfod from Sunday. For the next three weeks youngsters from as far afield as Wangaratta and Wagga will take to the stage of the Albury Entertainment Centre to sing, dance, debate and perform in the hope of impressing an array of judges, and in the process win some of the not particularly valuable cash prizes on offer. The Eisteddfod has become an institution in this region. In the 70s it began to struggle from the difficulties in getting enough people to run the event. But since being revived in 1982 it has continued to provide an outlet for young people to show off their artistic talents. This is not to say everything has been plain sailing. Each year the battle to find volunteers continues. And at times it seems things might be coming to an end. But continue it has, providing a very valuable event for the city. Much is often made of the economic benefit to our community of the various events that are attracted here from other centres. Literally thousands of people visit Albury and Wodonga because of the Eisteddfod. Parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers and the competitors themselves have to find accommodation while they are here. And their spending helps sustain many local businesses. Most of us know little about what goes on during the Eisteddfod. With entry fees as low as $5 a session, this year might be a good chance to go along and see some talented youngsters in action.

cil wanted the boat running by the upcoming November to March tourism season. “Given the high weir level we’re expecting we’d have a good season,” he explained. He added that works to repair boilers, the deck and some minor carpentry issues were completed about 18 months ago.

Mr Smith said such large developments were rare in regional cities. “You see developments of this size in Sydney and Melbourne but it’s quite rare for a regional area,” he said. “I think it will be the first building in the region to achieve a five-star energy rating through the Green Star initiative. “It’s got features like a lighting system which adjusts according to how much natural light comes into the building, a leading edge ventilation system and a grey water system.” The base of the tax building will house retail shops.

2500 youngsters to strut their stuff WInners: Beaudean Owen, Harry Jones, Cr Mark Byatt and Jeremy Kerr.

Three share city’s young achiever award

PERFORMERS: Students from The Scots School practice their moves ahead of the Eisteddfod. Picture: blair thomson By BLAIR THOMSON THIS year’s Albury Wodonga Eisteddfod is set to be a massive display of dance, drama and music with 2500 school students set to compete from Sunday. The competition will feature primary and high school students from Wagga to Wangaratta and surrounds, with adjudicators coming from as far as the Central Coast to judge the competitive event. Acting chairwoman Linda Martin said she was often amazed by the talents of Eisteddfod entrants. “Some of them are outstanding,” she said. “I go around to every section each year and have a listen in and I’m just amazed by the quality of the performers.

“For some it will be their first time in the Eisteddfod and it raises the benchmark, it gives them something to aim for. “The adjudicators can often struggle to pick out the winners.” The competition is divided into the categories of dance, music, speech and drama and will run at the Albury Entertainment Centre until Sunday, August 14. Ms Martin said most entrants had spent several months perfecting their acts. “They’ve practised, attended lessons with their teachers and it’s been arduous at times,” she said. “I think they need the support of their families but we’d also like other people to attend. “Admission is only $5 per session and

tickets are available for the whole festival.” The event should provide a big economic boost for the Border, according to Ms Martin. “It would probably be about 10,000 people that would attend, you would think,” she said. “They’ll buy meals and coffee, petrol, accommodation and spend money shopping so it’s set to be huge.” About 400 volunteers will help the event run smoothly. “It’s very well respected,” Ms Martin said. “This will be the 30th Albury Wodonga Eisteddfod following its revival in 1982.” Cash prizes are available to the winners of some categories and tickets can be purchased from the venue.

July’s third recipient was 12-year-old Harry Jones who was one of only three boys from North East Victoria to make the under 12 Victorian School Boys Football team. The Victorian team will play in the upcoming national championships in Canberra, starting on July 23. The selection process was intensive, with Harry being selected out of 80 North East boys.

Drug run aiming to boost service to men

By BLAIR THOMSON IT’S hoped that next month’s Granya House Drug Run will raise enough money to allow the local rehabilitation centre to expand its services. Granya House director Anne Newton told about 75 people at an official media launch this week she hoped to be able to provide more beds for men fighting a “life and death struggle” with drug and alcohol abuse. “We’ve probably got about 18 men undergoing treatment at the moment and a total capacity of 22,” she told NewsWeekly. “The need is huge and we want to increase the service that we provide.” Ms Newton said she often had to turn away people seeking help from the service, which receives no government funding. It’s hoped that more than 100 people will participate in the run, which starts at midday on Friday, August 26 and runs for 24 hours with a fund-raising goal of $70,000. Controversial former AFL player and Brownlow Medallist Jason Akermanis will be a guest speaker at an auction dinner at the Kinross Woolshed on August 26. He told NewsWeekly he can empathise with those being treated at Granya House. “To help these guys out is great,” he said. “I’m not saying I’ve been through what they’ve been through, but I’ve had a similar experience with a death in the family, nearly

and it seems to be getting bigger. “So I’ll help out and speak a bit about my story as well, it’s a good fit for me.” The run will be held between QEII Square, the Three Monkeys Tavern and the Wodonga Water Tower. “We hope to be able to raise money to expand our accommodation and staff numbers,” said Marty Cross of the Granya House fund-raising committee. “This will be the tenth time we’ve run the event and it originally started as a way of stopping the service from going under, and it’s just grown over the years. “We hope to get as much support and as many people running as possible.” Several Granya patients at the media launch credited the service with saving and turning around their lives.

WELL-known community music and event identity, Karen Roben, will take on the role of event co-ordinator for Albury Central’s major activity, the Applause Street Theatre and Buskers Festival. Her appointment has been announced by Albury Central’s acting president Darrin Halcrow. “Karen Roben is highly respected within the regional area, across all areas of music and local community events, and we’re looking forward to working with her on this special occasion,” Mr Halcrow said. This year’s festival, on Saturday, October 15, will mark the tenth year for the popular event and will include new community participation elements together with an exciting program full of festival favourites for the whole family to enjoy. In a second appointment, Albury Central has announced it has appointed Nardia Copeland to the role of co-ordinator, filling the shoes of Glenys Atkins. Ms Copeland will already be a familiar face to many within the Albury business community through her association with the Albury Northside Chamber of Commerce with whom Albury Central shares office space in David Street.

New uses sought for wool stores By BLAIR THOMSON THE owners of the current Australian Tax Office site are in discussions with several tenants interested in moving into the building. The Tax Office will next year move to the Volt Lane Development which is currently under construction, and part-owner John Colquhoun hopes to find a new use for the current site. “We’re working on various alternatives at the moment, we have to do something before they move out,” he told NewsWeekly. “There have been four enquiries for retail, office and apartments.” “The location in the centre of the CBD is a must-have site that must appeal to somebody.” The front facade of the old Wool Stores building is heritage listed and can’t be changed, but everything else can be redeveloped. “At this stage, I don’t know when we could secure an outcome,” Mr Colquhoun said. “It could take another six months, I’ve got no idea.”

$100,000 donation to accommodation centre By BLAIR THOMSON THE community fund-raising push for the cancer accommodation centre next to Albury Base Hospital has been bolstered by a $100,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Albury. The Fight Cancer Foundation is ahead of schedule in its fundraising efforts thanks to the support of various community donors. The group originally hoped to raise $1 million by Christ-

mas but expects to be about $250,000 ahead of its estimates. Rotary Club of Albury president Bob Walker said the project, which will create 20 units in stage one and a further 10 in stage two, was a worthy recipient of the money. “This Rotary Club of Albury Foundation donation is the largest single commitment of the Foundation to any project in its history,” he said. The first stage of the centre is due to open in 12 months.

Carbon tax phone scam

Service is part of our job Well after a long hiatus this weekly column is back! Many people whose work or personal life focuses around the fiscal year will be taking stock at this time and re-setting their goals and objectives for the next 12 months. We do the same. You may recall the large media education campaign that police on both sides of the Border produced into the high amounts of steal from motor vehicles that was occurring. In particular our con-

cern was for the number of reports where the vehicles were not secured. A review of steal from motor vehicles for the month of June showed a significant decrease in the number of reports. This can be attributed to the community members out there who were vigilant in securing their vehicles and who complied with our requests to do so. The challenge now is to ensure that this type of crime is minimal and does not reach the high levels

The Browns of Milawa – a family with vision winelovers with

paul muntz

W

hen George H Brown arrived in Melbourne in 1852 the wine industry was about the furthest thing from his mind. Hell-bent on making a fortune in the gold rush, he headed to the Bendigo goldfields. Having no luck, he ended up at Milawa to take up farming, eventually planting grapevines with the first vintage made by his son (John Francis – JF) in 1889. And, so the Brown wine dynasty commenced.

A brave face

JF may have been ambitious and imaginative, but his timing was poor. In 1890 the banks crashed and the Depression set in. The wine industry had massive over production and no one wanted to drink the stuff. Just as things started to improve, the dreaded parasite phylloxera began to devastate vineyards, and growers started to leave the wine industry in droves. Did JF bail out? No way! He cannily purchased casks and equipment from those exiting the wine game, and, in a superb piece of fiscal “two fingered salute”, built a new winery and cellar in 1898! As the industry languished around him, JF worked out that there was money to be

made with fortified wine and so he built a wood fired pot still, which produced 54,000 gallons of spirit over the next decade. Although the first Brown vineyard was a bit of a “mixed bag” of grape varieties, JF had pride in his infrastructure. Rather than let the vines run amok as “bush vines” (as many did), JF carefully trellised his vineyard in unique rows. In a lovely piece of self-reward, JF went out in 1916 and bought his own T-model Ford (I suspect the first in the North East). But the same year, things went pear-shaped. Phylloxera finally hit Milawa and wiped out the local vineyards. As his contemporaries left the industry, JF started all over again with advice from Francois de Castella (viticulturist for the Victorian State Government). Francois had been sent by the Government over to France to come up with some solution to the phylloxera problem – he found one – the solution was to graft vines onto American rootstock which was resistant to the pest. JF followed his advice and the rest, as they say, is history. A nice little side benefit from this relationship with de Castella was a shared fascination for new and different grape varieties. Just as Morris Wines at Rutherglen were introduced to Durif by de Castella, Brown Brothers embraced a range of new grapes including the unusual Mondeuse, which became part of the legendary and almost indestructible Shiraz Mondeuse blend championed by JF’s son (John Charles – JC).

The vision continues

When JC joined the family business in

FAMILY: Ross, Katherine and John G Brown.

1934 the family wine interests were relatively modest, hidden away in a diverse farming operation of cropping and sheep production. JC continued the Brown family fascination with unusual grape varieties, continually experimenting and occasionally having a “Eureka moment” as a new variety hit the market successfully. Was JC in the shadow of his famous father? Not so – in fact JC picked up the baton and achieved such success that he is often hailed as the “father of the Victorian wine industry”. Reflecting his close affinity with the art of wine making, he was the first vigneron to introduce unique processes to retain grape flavours in white wine, and to control wine fermentation temperatures with refrigeration. And just to top things off, he was the first (in 1962) to produce a “sticky” from botrytis affected Riesling grapes, at a time when other wine makers thought botrytis was just an unwelcome fungus. A fitting culmination to JC’s career was the opening in 1989 (Browns centenary year) of what is affectionately known as the “Kindergarten”. This small and separate winery facility was dedicated to new grape varieties and ongoing research. The luxury of such a facility is usually reserved for the “corporate big boys” in the industry, and not for smaller family run operations. But the Brown family have never been small thinkers. Successful styles like Barbera, Moscato and Tarrango all started life years ago in the Brown Brothers “Kindergarten”. This sort of experimentation costs a poultice, and would be hard to justify to the “bean counters” of even the big corporates. It is unheard of in a regional family vineyard. But sometimes it can be a waste of time and money – I wonder what happened to the Brown’s experiment with the Russian white wine Rkatitseli ....?

Looking for greener pastures

After the war, JC recognised that his fascination with different varieties and wine making techniques would not be satisfied from the family’s Milawa vineyard. Differ-

ent climates and different “terroirs” were needed, and so the family commenced selecting and planting new vineyards. In 1950 “Everton Hills” was purchased and became a great source of cool climate red wine grapes. In 1968 “Mystic Park” was created in the Murray Valley, ensuring a supply of fruit from this frost free area (the whole of the 1968 crop at Milawa had been wiped out by frost). Then, in 1970, recognising that the King Valley had huge potential, the Brown family encouraged Guy Darling and John Liviny to establish the “Koombahla” and “Meadow Creek” vineyards, the first commercial plantings in the area. What vision that was, at a time when tobacco reigned supreme as the “big dollars” crop! In 1982 the Whitlands vineyard was planted over to cool climate varieties, adding to the vast range of wine styles in the Brown Brothers portfolio. Next week: The story of this unique family needs a bit more time and space. Next week, the tale continues....

fter several years at Wardens in Beechworth gaining an “Age Food Guide” Chef’s Hat in consecutive years, Douglas Elder was recently appointed as Head Chef of Brown Brothers Epicurean Centre at Milawa.

{

At their recent “A Feast Fit For A King” celebrations, Douglas and his cheerful team wowed hundreds of discerning food and wine lovers’ with a superb grazing menu accompanied by expertly matched wines. Doug says he has a simple philosophy “to serve food that surprises people with its flavours and techniques and food that has broad appeal”. So recently our intrepid wine writer Paul Muntz, his delightful CB and I decided to venture to Milawa to join the punters on a Friday afternoon at the Epicurean Centre and Cellar Door and the restaurant was buzzing – always a good sign.

Door Supervisor Ernie Menichelli joined us to add a few options to wines chosen to match each dish. (Appetisers, Entrée, Mains and Dessert courses all offer a recommended wine, included in the price of each dish.) For appetiser, Sicilian-cured Salmon was topped with slow-cooked calamari and fennel salad garnished with aioli atop a very crisp fried croute.

ENTREE

As this passionate chef revels in showcasing the best locally produced foods, the North-East Charcuterie Plate included cured and smoked products from boutique butchers Formicci and Morrison’s. A highlight was the spicy Smoked Chorizo tempered with caramelised red onion and tangy cornichons. Milawa Ciabatta and Myrtleford Hand-churned Butter with salt flakes were on offer. One of my favourite dishes was the locally grown silky roasted Jerusalem artichokes, baked beetroot, Milawa Goat’s Curd with a hint of lemon zest, superfine beetroot wafers topped with spiced walnut praline, baby rocket and a “Pro Hart – like” splash of beetroot paint. The multiple flavours, textures and colours were sheer bliss for the palate. Then followed the most succulent Fried Quail imaginable served with classic celeriac remoulade, candied apples, cauliflowerettes and palest green parsley oil cleverly transformed into a powder. Our Chicken, Wild Rabbit and Mustard Fruit Terrine with pickled mushrooms and a puree of local organic Chestnuts, was an exciting flavour combination in a dish that employed multiple clever techniques.

MAINS

The Berkshire (Black skin) Pork Rib-Eye aka kassler was another winner, served with smokey eggplant puree, an intriguing and delicious boudin noir (black pudding) and potato gratin plus a delicate mustard “foam”. When I asked Douglas if he was a follower of “molecular gastronomy”, he replied “I like to teach my chefs to be creative, to stretch the boundaries and surprise our guests.” For beef lovers, you couldn’t go past the grass-fed Eye Fillet with an exceptional 18 hour Ox-Cheek Sauce. The fillet was topped with pangretto, being toasted breadcrumbs with house-made mushroom powder. A velvety parsnip puree completed this dish.

DESSERT

How many chefs could combine chocolate and kiwifruit to make it sing? Douglas can! He created a semi-freddo because he was inspired by a box of kiwi-fruit grown in Beechworth by greengrocer Peter Mim. He crowned his dome-like dessert with salted caramel, then petite meringues and cubes of chocolate jelly seemed to “dance” around the dome. Finally, suitably wobbly True Blue Honey and Buttermilk Panna Cotta with a border of rosy, diced pot-roast quinces in lemon and rosemary syrup punctuated with tangy lemon oatmeal crumbs was magical.

THE VERDICT ?

Paul and I were both knocked out by the flavours of local ingredients, the exciting textures that Douglas fashioned from each ingredient, the artistic presentation of every dish and the sheer number of techniques evident in each dish. We could well have been eating in a finediner in Sydney or Melbourne, but the casual atmosphere and professional service in Milawa was relaxed yet outstanding. Would we return ? You bet – how about tomorrow ! Brown Brothers Epicurean Centre is open for lunch 7 days from 12-3pm. Bookings advised on (03) 5720 5540

Summer flowering annuals W

e have had good rains, a cold winter, and last years’ summer conditions were very good for gardeners. After suffering drought conditions for so long, there is a trend back to planting annuals in gardens. There are lots of reasons for planting annuals. It doesn’t take long to sow some seeds or plant a few seedlings, and flowers appear without a long wait, adding colour to your garden. They can be placed in areas where they help cover bare stems of shrubs (like standard roses), grown in small bare patches around the garden or along paths to create a border, or else in containers and hanging baskets. You need to understand the conditions liked (sun or shade), the size they will reach and the colour of the flowers, before making your choice for a particular area. We learned from the drought which ones are really tough and survive in sunny conditions. Think of rudbeckias, sunflowers, marigolds, petunias, zinnias and celosias, as well as small varieties like portulacas. These varieties love the sun, and will all survive if given a little water and are planted in reasonably fertile soil. Alyssum also does well in the sun and the variety called “Snow Princess” is outstanding. It is very vigorous and flowers for a very long period, creating a cascade of white blooms. Another sun-loving annual which falls in a cascade of colour is the Happitunia petunia which is available in fuschia, blush and pink. Their flowers go on and on too, providing a carpet of colour in a mounding habit. Nemesias are very popular but need a little shade later in the day. The Innocence series is particularly good for colour in the garden. They have a compact form with strong upright snapdragon-like flowers, mostly with yellow/white throats which stand out against the colours of the petals. A relative newcomer to the annual shelves is Petchoa SuperCal, bred mainly for containers and baskets. It bears a rusty orange mass of flowers all through the summer months, growing into an open mound of petunia-like flowers. It will tolerate a sunny spot. There are so many others from which to choose and seeds are available in nurseries now. Seedlings will start coming in when spring arrives and the frosts finish.

GARDEN TASKS

✓C amellia japonica varieties are coming into

flower and so are the reticulatas, the very large-flowering varieties. Camellia reticulata “Arcadia” is a particularly pretty pink one. ✓M ollis azaleas can be planted now.

There are special products available to promote healthy growth and good fruit production. ✓A new petunia called “Raspberry”, in the Shock Wave range, will be available in September. The flowers are smaller than many other petunias but there are masses of them. It has a spread of 80cm.

Double glazing now essential DOUBLE-glazed windows have for many years been considered an expensive non-essential item for your home. It has only been since 2004 when the government decided that all new homes needed to meet a minimum of 4 stars and now beyond that you the consumer have decided to investigate the possibility of double glazing windows and doors. Fortunately the change in regulations has meant that companies within Australia have invested money into establishing very efficiently run and managed double-glazed manufacturing lines. Hence the product has become much more cost effective. Considering windows and doors often make up the majority of the external wall space it only seems practical to install windows and doors that will reduce the annual costs of heating and cooling your home. Single-glazed windows are often the weakest link in relation to the energy performance of your home. On a cold winter day single glazed window can lose an enormous amount of heat,

sitting or standing near them you can feel the cold air seeping through the glass, some traditional central heating outlets are often placed over the windows to heat this air before it enters the room. Just imagine the saving in running costs if this air was not as cold. Think of a double-glazed unit as a speed hump for air. Air will always transfer through a surface but as glass can be a thin as 3mm it’s less resistant than walls, ceiling and floors. Therefore it transfers through at a quicker rate. A double glazed unit is made up of two pieces of glass that have a spacer between and the outside silicone sealed. By using argon gas between the layers of glass a higher reduction in heat transfer can be achieved. DLG has a large range of double-glazed windows on display. Call into their showroom at 869 Mate Street Albury, or visit their website – www. dlg.net.au, or phone 6041 6844 to arrange a free measure and quote.

More windows double-glazed In DGU’s, the space is filled with air or flushed with dry nitrogen just prior to sealing. In a standard sealed glass insulating unit, air currents between the two panes of glazing carry heat to the top of the unit and settle into cold pools at the bottom. Filling the space with a less conductive, more viscous, or slow-moving gas such as Argon minimises the convection currents within the space, conduction through the gas is reduced, and the overall transfer of heat between the inside and outside is reduced. There are various glass options that will add further benefits to the double glazed unit such as tints that reduce the heat from direct sunlight penetration and coatings that will further reduce heat and cold penetration. After installation of double-glazing, the common thread in customer’s feedback is always a similar positive response, that their home is cosier and quieter and that they should have done it sooner.

WUNDERBAR Aluminium Products window and door manufacturing factory in Wodonga receives delivery of double glazed panels several times a week. Over 50 per cent of new orders are double-glazed, and this figure is steadily increasing with the star rating requirements of new homes and renovations. DLG experts can replace 99 per cent of existing windows and doors in homes with double-glazing, replacing the single pane of glass. Double-glazed units can both be measured and fitted by the specialist team at Wunderbar, or for those who like to have a go themselves, the units can be purchased individually and fitted by the client. The units are constructed of two panels of glass, which are spaced apart from 8-16mm depending on the window or door being glazed. Wunderbar uses Argon Gas filled DGU’s. An improvement that can be made to the thermal performance of insulating glazing units is to reduce the conductance of the air space between the layers of glass.

upfront, as well as producimg long term savings. “We are lucky to be offering Australia’s top performing solar hot water systems and issue customers the highest certificates for their energy efficiency,” she said. By replacing an old Electric or Gas hot water system with an EcoSmart solar hot water system, homeowners can slash up to 80 per cent off their hot water heating bills. Over a 10 year period, the saving adds up to around $4000 for a family of four. In addition, homeowners can still claim the $1000 Federal Solar Hot Water Rebate. EcoSmart Solar, Albury, have now also added Solar Power Systems to their product range, so they can help you save even more money on your electricity costs – with massive Federal and State Government rebates still available to customers.

Emily says that she is proud to be associated with an Australian owned solar hot water business. “EcoSmart Solar is a great Australian company that we are pleased to be able to work with,” she said. “Being Australian owned, their solar hot water heaters offer quality assurance and gives customers longevity and value for money.” With a business philosophy of offering customers high quality products, competitive pricing and second to none service and product know-how, it’s no wonder the Steeline Roofing Centre and EcoSmart Albury are thriving.

By BLAIR THOMSON THE 14-piece Mace Francis Orchestra returns to the Jazz Basement tonight (Friday, July 22) as part of its national Big Band Road Trip. It was a little over a year ago that the orchestra, headed – as the name would suggest – by conductor Mace Francis, played on the Border. Francis told NewsWeekly it had been a busy 12 months. “We’ve been playing pretty regularly over here in Perth and we’ve released a new CD which we’ll be promoting on the tour,” he said. “We also collaborated with prolific Japanese songwriter Satoko Fujii and that was the first time she’d worked with a big band in Australia. “She records with a different band each year and we were lucky enough to do some gigs with her.” Performing with an outside musician can have its challenges for the MFO. Organising 14 musicians into a fluid, streamlined unit can be tough at the best of times. “It’s hard to get people in sync; the more people there are, the more problems can happen, but that’s why we rehearse,” Francis said. “There’s that much more impact with more people and it’s like a symphony; when they play a big chord, it wows you because there’s so much energy and coupled with the drive and spontaneity of jazz, it multiplies the effect. “Satoko bought over some music which was interesting because there was some stuff written out but then a lot of freedom for individuals or groups of people within the band to improvise together. “We rehearsed with her for a few hours but she was really open to us interpreting her music the way we wanted and it doesn’t often happen that they give you that freedom. “But it all worked out really well and we hope to have the opportunity to do an exchange where we get the full band over there or her band comes over here.” Fancis said the members of the MFO had played together long enough to form a firm bond. “We’ve been together for more than six years with many of the key players so you build up that relationship,” he said. “It used to take months to rehearse things, now, when I bring a new piece in, they know where I’m coming from. “I hope to have the orchestra for a lot longer because that relationship gets stronger and stronger and you can

Mario Milano the link to a golden past By BLAIR THOMSON PROFESSIONAL wrestling is set to hit the Border tonight (Friday, July 22). Australian Wrestling Entertainment will run the Turbulence Pro Wrestling competition at the Commercial club with two hours of bodyslamming action planned for fight fans. Featuring competitors from Australia, New Zealand and Italy, the event will be judged by special guest commissioner Mario Milano. Milano was one of the biggest names in wres-

tling in the 1970s, fighting against opponents including Killer Kowalski, Cyclone Negro, Killer Karl Kox and Abdullah the Butcher, and he was infamous for his feared abdominal stretch. Spectators will see wrestlers including Mr Downunder, Tukahe, Lou Marcello and Phil Picasso perform the pile driver, the boston crab and the famous sleeper hold. Tickets to the event cost $10 for children under 12 and $20 for adults. For more information contact the Commercial Club on 6057 2000.

try new things and everything comes up roses.” Described as a blend of traditional big band stylings and modern ideas, the MFO thrives on the enthusiasm of its members. “Energy is what I really like,” Francis said. “And it doesn’t have to be a rocking piece, you can get energy out of a slow tune too. “I also like having some great improvisers in the band and sometimes I’ll write a piece for one of the soloists. “It’s mainly original stuff that we do but this time around we’re doing a tribute to Stan Kenton who had a band from the 1940s to about the 1970s. “And after performing around Perth for so long we’re all really keen to get on the road again and perform.”

The 500-year-old choir features 28 vocalists aged between 18 and 25 and creates a “heavenly” sound, according to St Matthew’s archdeacon Father Peter MacLeod-Miller. “They’re the best in the world,” he told NewsWeekly. “In wine terms, it’s like tasting a rare vintage; it’s something that will linger, it excites your palate and makes you realise how wonderful it is to be alive. “A lot of the music written today, you forget about it next week but this music has been sung at some of the finest venues in the world over 500 years.” Garden and stone-masonry work was undertaken at the Kiewa Street church this week in preparation for the arrival of the choir and dignitaries including NSW Governor Marie Bashir. Extra seats and lighting have also been added to St Matthew’s with 350 people expected to attend tonight’s performance.

MOVING: Father Peter MacLeod-Miller said tonight’s choir performance at St Matthew’s Church will be moving. Picture: blair thomson

“If you want to listen to English choral music, the acoustics of St Matthew’s in Albury creates the finest venue for miles,” Fr MacLeod-Miller said. Fr MacLeod-Miller, who visited Christ’s College during his time as a young member of St John’s College at Cambridge University, said the raised roof of St Matthew’s, which was rebuilt after a September 1991 fire, helped create the “amazing” sound. “We’d be looking at the sky here if it wasn’t for the brilliant contribution of the people of Albury who rebuilt it after the fire,” he said

“20 years on from the fire, it’s a great chance to celebrate the people of Albury who thought it was worthwhile to rebuild it. “If people are interested in the future, interested in excellence and something that will really last, then this should be a fantastic performance. “It should be a transporting experience, taking you to the halls and chapels of Cambridge and Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, it’s that wonderful. “It really has the capacity to move people.” For more information call 6021 3022.

THE ONLY VIEW THAT MATTERS

THE REIV June quarter median prices reveal that the median price of a house in regional Victoria has increased by 1.6 per cent to $325,000 from $320,000 in the March quarter. Over the past 12 months the increase has been 8.5 per cent. In Melbourne the median house price increased by 5.4 per cent to $590,000. This result confirms that, following a few years of turbulent conditions in the residential market, the last 12 months have recorded moderate and sustainable price growth. This result is reflective of a market that is now stable, following the GFC. Over the medium term, local factors will continue to have an impact, in particular the health of the Victorian economy, population growth and the level of construction and supply. Of the three main regional centres, strong demand was recorded in Bendigo, with a 4.5 per cent increase in the quarter to $287,500, followed by Ballarat, with a 1.3 per cent increase to $288,500; and in Geelong the

median fell by 3.9 per cent in the quarter to $370,000 but was stable over the year. In the City of Greater Shepparton there was a 3.6 per cent reduction to $280,000. In the Hepburn Shire a 0.9 per cent decrease to $353,000 was recorded. The Shire of Macedon Ranges saw a 17.1 per cent increase to $575,000, similar to the Shire of Mount Alexander, where the median increased by 16.5 per cent to $405,000. Median house prices in the Surf Coast Shire dropped by 12.8 per cent to $567,000.

Increased construction costs as a result of the new carbon tax are likely to further erode housing affordability across Australia. The details of the new tax show increases in construction materials will hit new housing development hard and will push median house prices up – making it even more

difficult for people to realise the great Australian dream of owning their own home. The impact on new residential development will inevitably result in higher prices for home buyers. Increases in the cost of construction materials including bricks, steel and aluminium will be simply passed onto purchasers, pushing the price of new housing higher. The knock-on effect of this could see median house prices pushed out of the reach of many prospective home buyers. Let’s be clear – the carbon tax has the potential to push the home ownership dream into the realm of fantasy for many Australians. The direct and indirect impacts of the tax on the cost of living will seriously erode housing affordability and result in a generation of Australians who will never know the feeling of owning their own home. The Federal Government must acknowledge the impact of the new tax on housing affordability. It must also remove high property taxes and other imposts to redress the balance and keep the dream of home ownership alive.

“There are always people coming through, there’s never a dull moment.” The Sierra and Cambridge homes, among the many Simmonds designs, are both on display. “They’re both a modern design,” Ms Filinski said. “We still do the Victorian style but we generally find people seek out the modern look.” The 29 square metre Cambridge display home contains a double garage, gas fire place, outdoor entertainment area with kitchen, several lounge areas and a raft of other features. Several staff members are available at the site to guide people through the homes and the range of design options available. The display homes are open from noon to 5pm each day. All Simmonds homes come with guaranteed start and completion dates with a guaranteed fixed price, along with a seven year structural guarantee and six months free home insurance. For more information call 6056 0367.

NEW: Courtney Filinski said two new Simmonds Display homes at White Box Rise have been well attended. Picture: blair thomson

TWO new Simmonds display homes at White Box Rise in Wodonga have been attracting a lot of attention since their unveiling. Located on Victoria Cross Parade, the two homes show what the company is capable of creating for interested home buyers. “The displays really look fantastic,” Simmonds sales associate Courtney Filinksi said. “There’s a really fine attention to detail in the buildings and each day we go through to make sure everything looks perfect. “It shows the level of detail that we put into each and every house that we build.” While Simmonds display homes are always well attended, Ms Filinksi said she had been surprised by the popularity of the new displays. “We’re probably getting more than 30 people come through in an average week and at least 20 on weekends alone,” she said. “We’ve really been getting quite an amazing response.

No matter your ability, come along

WODONGA United golf club is calling on those in the community interested in playing golf on a social basis. Based at the Wodonga Country Club, United is a small social club that welcomes all-comers to the sport in a relaxed atmosphere. Club president Geoff Evans said membership had sat around the 20-30 mark for some time and they were looking to expand after separating from the SS&A club around four years ago. “We still have the same members but the only thing that missed out was getting sponsorship from the SS&A club,” Mr Evans said. “We were virtually under their umbrella for a long time, they gave us some concessions like certain tee-off times but now we have to be self-funded. “We’ve been holding our own through a lot of input from the members such as running raffles and that sort of thing and the people that are there are the ones that are keeping the status quo … we’re just trying to drum up a bit more support.” Mr Evans said the United club was somewhat unique in the region with a wide range of skills through their membership. “You can’t go to another place where, for instance dad’s playing off 20, I’m playing off five, another bloke’s playing off 40, it’s the variance in the status on how people play,” he said. “We’re all members of different backgrounds and we all enjoy the different aspects.” He said the club catered for new players who might want to come along and play but but felt intimidated by other players. “We’re trying to get everyone involved,” Mr Evans said. “We’ve got ladies and men of all ages and of all areas of expertise, plumbers and dentists and all sorts of different people who come to the club and say they’ve never been involved in a club like this where everyone takes part in getting to know you … it’s that friendly atmosphere that some of the bigger clubs don’t have. “We try to draw on the social aspect as much as we can … you can come along, there’s no inhibitions, you can get on the first tee and the bloke hits it in the air or duffs it off the tee, it makes you feel a lot better, you’re not sitting on the tee shaking, everyone tries to make everyone feel relaxed.” The club also runs trips away during the year to other courses and offers a handicap system for their members. Members are also able to participate in Wodonga Golf Club competitions on the weekends if they choose. But more importantly Mr Evans said the club was about introducing new people to the sport. “We’re just looking for a few more fresh faces,” he said. “You want to put it out there that’s there’s an option if you want to play socially especially if you’re new to the area or new to golf.” Geoff Evans can be contacted regarding membership at United Golf Club on 6040 2482 or club captain, Grant Smith can be reached on 0418 579 099.

Charity cash and a win make big day ALBURY Thunder celebrated their annual charity day with a hard fought 23-16 win over Gundagai Tigers on Sunday at Greenfield Park. And while Brett Biles managed an impressive three tries to help the Thunder across the line, the focus of the day was the recipient of the club’s charity efforts, Aspect Riverina school. “It was a big day … we raised a bit of money throughout the day and got a win to top it off,” Thunder coach, Josh Cale told NewsWeekly. The team donned a new playing strip for the day that looked quite impressive and was designed in conjunction with the school children and players. “I was really happy with the way they came up,” Cale said. “The kids from the school and a few of the players went in and got some coloring pencils and did some drawings and made them into a bit of a collage in sections and they came up really good … they were auctioned off and it was all about raising money. “I think before the weekend we’d already raised $25,000 and from all reports we raised another $5000 on the day.” And to manage the win was the icing on the cake against a determined Tigers’ outfit. Cale said they’d expected a tough hit out against a team that had been improving all season. “We came together early in the year and we got them by one point so we knew they were going to be tough,” he said. “They turned up to play so we were really happy with the win.

Juniors get chance to shine A group of youngsters from Wodonga Stormz under 10s Rugby League club will have the experience of a lifetime when they front up to AAMI stadium tonight, (Friday) during the half time break of the Melbourne Storm v Brisbane Broncos NRL fixture. And in an interesting twist three sets of twins will make up the numbers who take to the field in two separate games against a group from Waverley. Caitlin and Connor Mann, Jarrod and Matthew Condron and Brayden and Samantha Clegg will compete along with Corey Brice, Joshua Capewell, Anthony Dugdell, Ronan Kohlmeyer, Caitlin Cullen, Joel Newley, Bradley Douch, Kallum Oakes, Hannah Barton and Sonia Maiden coached by Reg Simmonds and Craig Martin. Goulburn Murray Rugby League secretary registrar, Jo Perini said everyone involved was extremely excited about the opportunity and while many of the players have previously attended a league game for some it will be their first taste of the top level competition. “It’s going to absolutely awesome because it’s nearly sold out!” she said. As an added bonus one of the player’s parents, Justin Brice has been chosen to referee one of the games. Brice is currently a referee in training which Perini said was a big boost for the league. “Referees are hard to come by in any sport,” she said. “He’s got a daughter playing in the girls league tag but it’s just mind boggling really! “Hopefully out of this we might be able to get more referees.” HOCKEY Albury Wodonga is turning blue for this week’s round of matches to raise awareness of depression and anxiety.

The Blue Round is part of their participation in the Good Sports, Good Mental Health – Build Your Game program, an initiative of the Australian Drug Foundation and supported by beyondblue, the national depression initiative. HAW operations manager Dennis Martin said it was an exciting opportunity to promote such an important health message in Albury Wodonga. “Build Your Game is an important initiative for us to be involved in and we are looking forward to some great games of hockey, but also providing a vital service to the widercommunity,” Mr Martin said. “The program is helping us to identify signs of depression, anxiety and related disorders in players and members. This can lead to earlier intervention and helping a mate who is not travelling well.” Spectators are also encouraged to show off some blue and will receive free showbags including information from the Australian Drug Foundation and beyondblue. ALBURY Steamers have taken a solid 33-24 win over CSU Reddies on Saturday at Murrayfield. But despite the victory coach Don Cameron was disappointed the margin wasn’t far greater. After holding a 33-12 lead by the 48th minute the home side failed to capitalise and simply settled for the win. Early in the game it seemed the Steamers would dominate when Matt Cook crossed for their first try after just five minutes play. Justin Wheatly converted and within 10 minutes found the try line himself and another conversion set the scene. A further Cook Wheatly combination took the score to 21-0 early in the first half and the signs looked ominous.

But a lapse in offensive pressure allowed two tries to Reddies before the break to make the score 21-12 and the Steamers failed to capitalise in the final half of the game. ALBURY Wodonga Cycling Club enjoyed a great day for racing on Saturday for its Stead Street to Plunketts Road 31km handicap race. 28 riders took the challenge of the undu

IT was interesting to see a couple of Aussie Rules players caught up in a betting scandal recently. Obviously it’s a taboo area for sports stars to be betting on games and providing information to others regarding game plans, even if the recipients are family members. It just goes to show how serious the AFL take their rules and regulations … or does it? I remember reading this last week about how those involved in the scandal were well educated in regards to the regulations and seemed of reasonable intelligence. And yet they still allowed this situation to unfold. Others have said the AFL was too soft on the culprits with a partly suspended sentence for one player hardly worthy of such a discrepancy. Corruption in sport regularly rears its ugly head and while this situation may seem insignificant, it was just a $10 bet after all, the fact remains … the rules were broken by those who should have known better and have brought our game into disrepute. Corruption is corruption at any level and has no place in sport!

New book pays tribute to football’s man of facts

Magpies to provide the upset

History at his fingertips

O&M footy returns this week and kicks off with a cracker! The Wangaratta v Lavington clash is sure to provide the match of the round and more than a few headaches for tipsters across the Border. And while the Panthers are sitting a couple of games clear of the Magpies it won’t be an easy win by any means. In fact I’m tipping Wangaratta to take the points at home. Most other games seem a mere formality. North Albury should be able to account for Wodonga, Albury will have no problem disposing of the Rovers and Yarrawonga will comfortably take the points from Corowa-Rutherglen. That leaves the Raiders and the resurgent Saints. Myrtleford has had somewhat of an improved season and have the home ground advantage this week. But I just can’t see them having the goods to go the distance against the Raiders who should be too strong.

THE Border’s own football historian, Les O’Brien has been involved with the Ovens and Murray league for over half a century. In that time he’s seen some champion footballers leave the region for the big time in league football. He’s been instrumental in helping clubs in the area trace their history and was asked by football author, Miles Wilkes to help with a book called Grand Final Champions of Melbourne. More recently his services were again called upon by Wilkes to research and write for his latest publication, Australian Football Clubs in NSW and their contribution to the AFL. With such a vast knowledge of football in the region there could be none better equipped to tackle such a task and Les was more than happy to assist. “He (Wilkes) asked me if I would help him put this together because I know all the Ovens and Murray and I gave him many, many stories,” Les told NewsWeekly. “I spent months on this going back through my Critics and papers and making sure I was right, ringing up clubs to make sure I was exactly right … we scrutinised this pretty well.” Even with such a good knowledge of football Les said he was still surprised at how many players from the surrounding country towns had made their name in league football. “It’s unbelievable when you go through the book,” he said.

MYselections Wangaratta North Albury Albury Yarrawonga Wodonga Raiders

HISTORY: Les O’Brien displays the new Miles Wilkes publication in front of his extensive archive of O&M football history. Picture: trevor jackson

“Albury had the most players that made league football, they had a total of 45 … there’s 23 from Corowa-Rutherglen, North Albury had 16, even little towns like Finlay had 12. “There’s a lot of players that made league football from country towns.” Les’s involvement with the O&M spans 53 years and he was recently involved as historian for the league’s Hall of Fame dinner. He has collected Critics dating back to 1933 and numerous newspaper clippings, all providing the wealth of information utilised in

Wilkes’ latest book. Through it all Les said he was hard pressed to highlight any individual players. He said names such as Hayden Bunton and Gordon and Doug Strang popped to mind and said much of the imagery brought memories flooding back. In fact he felt that with so much information contained in the book anyone who loved the game would surely want a copy. And an added bonus for Les arrived with a copy of the finished product via a page dedicating the publication to him.

“I’m humbled by Miles doing this for me,” he said. “I was just honoured when he sent the book down and said that he dedicated it to me for my input for not only the book but my 50 years service to Ovens and Murray football. “I was absolutely delighted when I saw that … that doesn’t happen very often in your life. “You put a lot of work into it, it’s all for the sake of football, you wouldn’t do it if you didn’t love it. “I’ve dedicated my life virtually, as my family would tell you, to football.”

Formula Ford test

Test: Matt Chahda in the Formula Ford he will test for the Wodonga TAFE Motorsport division. Picture: trevor Jackson

Border youngster’s chance to impress big boys BORDER racer, Matt Chahda is taking the next step in his motor racing career with a test drive in a Formula Ford at Winton Motor Raceway next month. The test, organised by the Motorsport Training division of Wodonga TAFE will give Chahda the opportunity to prove himself in a category most V8 Supercar teams look to for up and coming talent. It will also provide the chance for Chahda to go racing next season in the category, and a further Formula Ford test later in the year with Dick Johnson Racing will be the icing on the cake for the young Border driver. “I’m pretty excited,� Matt said.

“I only heard about it the other day ‌ Dad set it up, he talked to a few people.â€? Matt’s father, Amin, said he was very pleased that Wodonga TAFE was offering Matt this opportunity. “They’re shipping the car and everything ‌ they’ve got an engineer coming to spend a day with Matt ‌ he’s the same guy that sets up Tom Williamson’s car from BJR,â€? Amin said. “He’s coming to set it up and go through it with him for the day ‌ it’ll be a full day down there so that’ll be good.â€? Matt said he knew little about the performance of the vehicle but expected it to be grippy and re-

sponsive and said he understood the need to progress through the category to reach his eventual goal of driving a V8 Supercar. “It seems to be the way that people expect kids to go these days,â€? Matt said. “Almost everybody you talk to says you have to go through Formula Ford ‌ it’s what Supercar teams look at. “They say it’s good for race craft, especially for kids coming straight out of go-karts which is pretty much a contact sport, it’s pretty messy, so it’s good for them to learn how to treat the cars good before they do step into something more expensive.â€?

Amin echoed those sentiments after having a recent conversation with Aussie motor racer, Steven Richards. “When I was up in Darwin three or four weeks ago Steven Richards was in the garage and we sat down and had a real good chat,â€? Amin said. “I asked what path he would take ‌ he said to put him through a year of Formula Ford at least. “I didn’t want to go down the Formula Ford path but it seems to be the go ‌ I’ve spoken to a lot of other guys in Supercars and it’s the same thing ‌ you sort of have to do it. “Either we just keep go-karting

and have a bit of fun or get serious which is what he wants to do. “You get one shot at it at this age ‌ by 22-23 I want him in a Supercar.â€? The test later in the year with DJR is something Matt is also very excited about. He said it had been his dream for many years to drive for the team but at this stage he was simply focused on what lay ahead. “I’m just trying to figure it all out at the moment,â€? Matt said. “The good thing about Formula Fords is you’re racing with the V8 Supercars and you’ve got big crowds and more potential sponsors watching.â€?
