Time to soak up the spring sun SPRING has finally sprung and the mercury is set to (slightly) rise in coming days, with many residents no doubt hoping the low of -1.6°C recorded in Albury last month won’t be repeated any time soon. 15month-old Connor Pascual was one of many people keen to soak up some sun at the Albury Botanic Gardens this week as colourful flowers slowly started to bloom back to life.

$1m playground not just for kids Picture: BLAIR THOMSON.

By BLAIR THOMSON THE long-awaited Oddies Creek Park Adventure Playspace is set to open today with facilities to entertain people of all ages. While the playground, which cost close to $1 million to build, will have a flying fox, birds nest swing, net climbers and large slide

for young people, parents can make use of new barbecue facilities and sitting areas. The opening comes as a relief to Albury Council, which first announced the project in early 2008. “It’s been a long haul, with the weather and everything,” project manager Jim Kelly said.

“But there will be lots of excited kids around who will get to play on a playground and it will be a hub for the whole community, people of all ages. “This is totally custom built and when you get up close, people will be able to see why it took so long to build.

“It will be a real drawcard for Albury.” The playground, which is surrounded by a leash-free dog area and Noreuil Park, was due for completion in December last year, and costs are about $500,000 above initial estimates. “It’s been a really muddy and

wet year which has made things tough,” Mr Kelly explained. “Not only did the crew have to contend with the weather, they had to deal with a custom build playground and to their credit, a lot of quality workmanship has gone into it.” Continued page 2

Cup runs over for the Jones team DARK and threatening skies at Winton weren’t enough to dampen the emotional weekend for the Border’s V8 Supercar race team of Brad Jones Racing. Sunday’s race win by Jason Bright was celebrated by the whole team, including Jason (JR) Richards who has been absent from the series due to his on-going battle with cancer. JR was present on the winner’s podium standing alongside Bright and was showered with champagne as the drivers celebrated their placings. And in a moment that no doubt touched many in the crowd the call went out for JR to give Bright a kiss, and he simply turned to his team-mate and obliged. Team co-owner, Brad Jones reflected on the moment with NewsWeekly. “It was fantastic having a win at Winton,” he said. “A lot of our guys that don’t come to the races as a part of the team were there. “JR was there ... I said to him after the race, you get caught up in the excitement and it’s great that he could share it, it was fantastic. “It’s always great to have him there, he’s a great team player ... it really highlighted how important he is to the team.” Full report, page 30

Gateway health looks to expand essential service

$1.4m health win

By BLAIR THOMSON MENTAL health services in Wodonga and North East Victoria have been boosted by a $1.4 million federal funding injection. That money will be used by Gateway Community Health in Wodonga to continue its Personal Helpers and Mentors Program, which sends staff to the homes of people with mental health issues.

Gateway’s mental health manager, Loretta Foster, said the program had helped about 100 people since it started nearly two years ago, with hopes the new funds would help a similar number. “An underlying philosophy of this program is that people with mental illnesses can recover, they can live a better life than they’re living and the job of personal help-

ers and mentors is to help them to understand that and then show them the things they need to do to achieve that,” she said. “The program specifically focuses on people experiencing fairly significant disruptions to their lives through mental illness. “The funding means the clients that we’re working with now won’t lose that support and we can con-

tinue to offer that support to new clients.” Ms Foster said recovery was an active process that clients had to work on. “Whether that’s linking with services, re-establishing contact with friends and family, making new friends, getting back into work or study, our workers show them how to do that,” she said.

Ms Foster revealed that of the six staff involved in the next round of the program in Wodonga and Wangaratta, two have a mental illness. This enabled people who have a mental illness to meet others with mental illnesses who are well on their way to recovery and are functioning well, and enjoying life. Continued page 2

Playground now ready for action From page 1 Nine aboriginal people from the Wagirra Works Crew helped construct the playground with other council staff. Their next project is the continuation of the Kremur Street boat ramp development.

The 70km Wagirra Trail, which will run along the Murray River, will link the Kremur Street project with the playground and other sites of interest, and possibly extend through to Wonga Wetlands. “There’s one big masterplan for the area which could

HOW many of us can claim to have had a traffic accident? Of course every one of us who has had some sort of car crash is quick to refer to it as an accident. But was it truly an accident? Or was it because we, or the other driver involved, did something stupid which resulted it our vehicles heading anywhere but where we really wanted them to go? Today’s police column by Inspector Lynelle Rodwell of Albury Police puts the accident excuse into its correct perspective. She quite rightly points out that the word accident infers that nobody was really to blame for the crash, when the reality is just the opposite. Even the most careful of drivers among us from time to time have done something that could easily cause us to lose control of our vehicle. Stand on any corner in the central business district of Albury and Wodonga and watch the passing drivers. It’s a fair bet you will see plenty of them using their mobile phones, talking animatedly with other passengers with their eyes anywhere but on the road, or driving with one hand. All of us have seen drivers doing their hair or makeup, or reading the paper as they cruise to work in the morning. All these behaviours are recipes for trouble, but if questioned none of those drivers would admit they have done anything wrong. “What’s wrong with using the mobile phone – everyone else does it, etc etc,” is the usual reply. Much of the public criticism of drivers is aimed at L and P-platers – in other words younger drivers. But who taught them? We did. Their mums and dads, who too often took the attitude of do as I say, not as I do. So no wonder they take risks and do stupid things – they have been taught by the best! Insp Rodwell says getting a ticket should not be the reason for doing the right thing, and she has challenged us all to make a difference on the road. It is a sentiment we share.

Gateway venue to expand for Chisel New trees go in to finish David Street work By BLAIR THOMSON DAVID Street in Albury will once again be lined with trees after council workers replanted 12 trees cut down in May. But the Plane trees, which are close to five years old, will take many years to reach the height of the removed trees. 12 mature English Elm and Plane trees, deemed to be nearing the end of their life cycle by Albury Council arborist Leah Warburton, were lopped in May. That raised the ire of Cr Paul Wareham, who erected a protest sign at the front of his business, and several residents, who felt the council’s decision lacked transparency. Albury Council group leader engineering services, Andrew Lawson, said the new Plane trees would bring the street back to life. “I would hope that it creates an avenue effect that you see with the streets that have older trees and it should create a good streetscape,” he said. Road and drainage work has also been carried out along David Street and bollards will be installed to protect the trees.

BIG SALES: Stuff N Footy Shop (formerly Balls N Bumpers) owner Sonia Harbridge said the store had sold at least 1500 Cold Chisel tickets. Picture: blair thomson “It’s a real reward for the people in the area that have supported live music.” Dave Larkin, formerly of Dallas Crane, will fill the second support slot for the show,

with You Am I to open for Cold Chisel. The Wiggles are also set to play at Gateway Lakes with three shows planned for next month.

Choir to call Corowa home The National Boys Choir of Australia, perhaps recognised by most Australians from the Qantas television commercials that feature the choir, will perform in Corowa this month. The performance will be part of a tour of country Victoria and NSW. Co-Artistic Director Peter Casey said this year’s tour heads to inland areas rather than the coastal fringe. “We have been up and down the coast many times, but this year we wanted to move away and bring our performance to other areas of the two states,” Mr Casey said. “Our choristers love to get out into our own country areas where they can meet the locals and experience what our regional towns and cities have to offer.” The Corowa performance will be at the Corowa Memorial Hall, on Tuesday, September 27, at 7.30pm. Ticket prices are adults $20, concession $15, children $10. Enquiries to Gail Goodall’s Jeweller.

By BLAIR THOMSON COLD Chisel’s November show at Gateway Lakes in Wodonga is close to sold out, and organisers of the event have had to modify the venue to accommodate the higher-thanexpected ticket sales. And promoter Duane McDonald said the interest in the show could lead to more big acts coming to the Border. “It will be good to see fans come out and support Chisel and it will help to attract a lot of big acts to the area,” he said. “We’ll be more confident of heading to the area for shows. “There haven’t been any inquiries yet, but we expect them to get them afterwards.” The gig was to be held under a big top with standing room only. But with 11,400 tickets now sold, the show will be open air and fans of the rock act can bring their own chairs. “They can sit up the back of the venue, and that should open up better lines of sight and create a better concert experience for everyone,” Mr McDonald said. “People weren’t interested in standing for six hours so they can now move up the back and sit down.” He confirmed the stage would be big enough for everyone to see the reformed rock act, with at least one screen to show a live video feed of the band. “It’s one of the biggest stages in the country,” Mr McDonald said. “I don’t have the exact figures, but with screens it’s about 50m wide, similar to what they use at the Big Day Out. “It’s a massive production.” Tickets, which cost $99.90 each, are capped at 12,500, with no additional seating to be made available. “Once the 12,500 tickets are sold, that’s it, it’s sold out,” Mr McDonald said. “We expected about 7000 to 8000 to buy tickets but we smashed that in the first day and we’re up to 11,368. “The numbers that we’ve done right across the country have been amazing.

Border residents flock to chance for expert help to healthy life

Health challenge closes on 500 mark NEARLY 500 Border people want to do something to improve their health and fitness. This is shown from the response to the Your Best Body 12 Week Challenge run by Josh Dickinson from Physique Essentials. Mr Dicksonson said he has been “astounded” by the response. “In my wildest dreams I could not have envisioned the response that we have received,” Mr Dickinson said. Mr Dickinson is a a renowned fitness professional with 11 years

of professional experience who has called the Border region home for the past four years. After coming up with the program Mr Dickinson and his team “are still in shock by the numbers.” And that list continues to grow by the hour. “Our Your Best Body Challenge has really proven itself to be a community event, with such a deserving composition of entrants, and I am humbled that myself and my team have the opportunity to

offer some much needed help,” Mr Dickinson said. Participants of the Your Best Body challenge won’t be subjected to a restricted eating plan, or a torturous exercise regime. That is not the purpose of the challenge. Rather, the aim has always been to inspire, motivate and to educate, to bring the community together with fitness, and to show them what can be done by making better nutritional choices, and understanding the role the right type

of exercise plays in a person’s life. The Your Best Body Challenge officially commences on Saturday with a registration event at Galvin Hall; Wodonga Senior Secondary College. Registration will be starting at 10.30am and will go through to noon. From noon, The Physique Essentials team will deliver an introductory-style exercise program, teaching the participants some of the basic exercises that will be delivered through the course of the

12 week challenge. “This is going to be a sensational event,” Mr Dickinson said. “The difference that we are going to potentially make will be sure to be one of the most humbling experiences in my professional fitness career, and I personally cannot wait!” Proudly supported by NewsWeekly and Star FM, for more information or to sign up please visit www.yourbestbodyalburywodonga.com or call Physique Essentials on 1300 390 760.

By BLAIR THOMSON THE Border RV and Camping Expo will return next year after last weekend’s event massively exceeded organisers’ expectations. More than 15,000 people attended the inaugural event at the Wodonga and District Turf Club, beating the 14,300 that attended this year’s biggest Bendigo RV and Camping Leisurefest which has run for a decade. “From a numbers perspective, there have been bigger shows than the Border but for a first go, it was pretty close to the biggest show,” Caravan Industry Association of Victoria CEO Rob Lucas said. “The North East was chosen because we thought it would be a place that would give us great support, which was correct, and a chance to lay a foundation for the future.”

Mr Lucas said the event would be back for at least the next two years. “We’ve got a three year agreement with the Wodonga Race Club,” he said. “Next year we’ll be able to bring more brands and products, so it’s quite exciting.” The event gave those in attendance the chance to view and buy products ranging from fifth wheelers and caravans through to cooking utensils, food, navigation systems and washing machines. “It had everything you could think of,” Mr Lucas said. “And there were a number of products that people wouldn’t normally get to see.” Organisers of the expo also donated $5000 to the Ronald McDonald Family Room in Wodonga.

Pharmacies join cancer screening

Caption: Maddy Wood and pharmacist Amanda Brndusic of Gardens Chemmart Pharmacy Albury display the new BowelScreen kit now for sale.

Bowel cancer is one of Australia’s most common cancers – killing more people than breast or prostate cancer. Across the country, it claims almost 80 lives every week and one in 12 Australians will be affected by the disease in their lifetime. The good news is around 90 per cent of bowel cancers can be treated successfully, if detected early. The BowelScreen Australia program was launched last week and local Chemmart pharmacies are urging the community to undergo annual screening. A kit costs $20.95. Customers take the kit home and do a swab. It is then packaged and sent away for a pathology test which costs $15.40. Medicare covers $15.30 of that cost and most private health insur-

Here’s your chance to star at Albury’s carols evening

TALENT: Young Border singer Melanie Taylor performing at Albury’s 2010 Carols by Candlelight.

By BERNADETTE CANNIZZARO Want to be a possible star at Christmas? If you are musically talented and would like your chance at becoming this years Albury City Carols by Candlelight star, this is the time to put your best beat forward. Simply send in your bio to the Events Team of Albury Council by Friday September 9. “The bio should consist of the artists name, age, style or genre, experience in major or minor performances, skills and musical career and contact details for their chance to be invited to the audition,” team leader events co-ordinator Ros Walls said. Albury City Carols by Candlelight is in its 34th year and attracts thousands annually. Successful applicants will be notified of audition times on Sunday, September 25.

ance companies will cover most of the cost of the kit. “Basically for little more than a cost of a stamp, Australians are able to get tested for bowel cancer,” Pharmacist Amanda Brndusic of Gardens Chemmart Pharmacy in Albury said. Bowel cancer can develop with few, if any, early warning signs. If symptoms of the disease are present, these may include: blood in or on the stool, a recent and persistent change in bowel habits, general stomach discomfort, frequent gas or pains, unexplained weight loss. “Having the testing available in pharmacies makes it more accessible for the community. The test is mainly for customers aged 50 and over, with no symptoms or family history of bowel cancer,” she said However, bowel cancer affects those under 50 as well, making the

service something that people of all ages should consider,” said Chemmart Pharmacy Executive Director Johnathon Layton. “The BowelScreen Australia program is run in partnership with Bowel Cancer Australia and the Pharmacy Guild of Australia,” he said. “This program provides an easy to use test, which is carried out in the privacy of your own home.” BowelScreen Australia says it uses an advanced test that simplifies the screening process and detects a higher rate of cancers than some other tests currently available. Miegels Pharmacy Rutherglen, Miegels Pharmacy Corowa, Gardens Chemmart Pharmacy Albury, Mayos Chemmart Pharmacy Albury, and Mayos Chemmart Pharmacy Lavington are all part of the BowelScreen Australia program.

Bear is more than a helping paw in life for Border student

vision: Daniel Searle with his guide dog, Bear.

With more than a third of people with eye disorders living in country areas, visitors to this year’s Henty Field days are being urged not to take their sight for granted. Latest research from Guide Dogs NSW/ ACT shows that many people with vision loss wait too long before seeking help, increasing their risk of accidents and depression. The Roy Morgan survey also revealed that almost 60 per cent of respondents were unaware that even people just starting to lose their vision can access the organisation’s free services to stay mobile and independent. “To prevent vision loss, we encourage everyone to have regular eye health checks,” said Jane Bryce, guide dogs community education co-ordinator, who will be representing the organisation at Henty Field Days with an information stand within the Lifestyle Area of the event. “With farms being a hotspot for eye injuries, wearing protective goggles when welding and UV protected sunglasses when working outside are effective measures,” she said. “But if vision loss is affecting your ability to get around, our southern NSW-based instructors travel to you, be it a remote property or small country town to train you in appropriate skills and aids so you can achieve your mobility goals – and it’s all free.” As well as guide dogs, the organisation trains people in how to use long “guide” canes, electronic travel devices and public transport. Albury physiotherapy student Daniel

Searle, who lost his sight at 16 to a rare eye condition, Leber’s Optic Atrophy, will also be at the field days to talk to visitors about how his guide dog, Bear, provides him with independence. Daniel, who grew up on his parents’ dairy farm at Barham, encourages people to drop by the Guide Dogs stall, saying if people have any form of vision loss they shouldn’t wait until they are blind to learn mobility skills. “The sooner you get help from Guide Dogs the better in terms of regaining or maintaining the ability to get around independently and safely,” said Daniel, who last year represented Australia in blind cricket. Henty visitors can meet Daniel and hear more about his story at the Guide Dogs stand. As Guide Dogs receives no government funding, visitors can also support the organisation by purchasing a raffle ticket or merchandise, or considering leaving a gift in their will. “Residents across southern NSW are loyal supporters, whose generosity continues to enable us to increase the provision of our services in line with the growing incidence of vision loss,” Ms Bryce said. For more information about bequests visit www.guidedogs.com.au or call (02) 9412 9319. To learn more about the services available to those with vision problems in the Border area, contact the Guide Dogs office in Albury on 6041 5201.

CAPTION: Students, parents and carers gaining insight into the different pathways available to them in post school life.

Students look to bright future HIGH school students with a disability and their families from across the Albury area attended a Post School Transition expo at the Mirambeena Community Centre in Lavington on Wednesday. This was an opportunity for the students, their parents and carers to meet with the various service providers and government organisations who will provide support to them when they leave school. Over 18 organisations were on hand to provide valuable information about attending university, completing TAFE courses, gaining employment and participating in community programs. Many of these students have the same hopes and dreams as anyone else and strive to gain careers and feel part of a community. Knowing who and where to find help is often challenging for these people and their families. The Disassembled Dancers, a dance group from SITE Inc provided entertainment for the evening and inspiration for the 70 people that attended this important event.

The human factor is too often to blame for rising road trauma

We can all reduce road ‘accidents’ ON so many occasions when reporting road trauma it is described as a “terrible accident�. Accident is defined as being a specific, unpredictable, unusual and unintended external action which occurs in a particular time and place, with no apparent and deliberate cause but with marked effects. It implies a generally negative outcome which may have been avoided or prevented, in short it’s “no one’s fault�. But a true crash investigator calls a road trauma incident a “crash� as there is always a cause. Internationally, road crash

investigators utilise a systematic approach to crash examinations called the “Haddon matrix�. This matrix examines human, vehicle, equipment, and environmental interactions over three time periods, pre-crash, crash and post- crash. In the vast majority of instances an investigation will identify the primary or secondary causal factors to a crash and sadly on many occasions these factors are completely preventable. According to the World Health Organisation, World report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention Worldwide, an estimated 1.2 mil-

Policenews with

insp lynelle rodwell

lion people are killed in road crashes each year, and as many as 50 million people are injured. Projections indicate that these figures will increase by about 65 per cent over the next 20 years. While tour trauma statistics pale into insignificance in relation to our global injury/death rate, I often wonder why our roads are

%$.(5 027256 We’ve got you covered

such a dangerous place. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on building better and safer roads. The vast majority of motor vehicles in the market place are sold with significantly improved safety components. When we review crashes we can identify a continuing trend of good people being killed or seriously injured where clear and defined causes were identified. These included speed, alcohol, drugs, not wearing a seat belt, fatigue, and using a mobile phone. Not one of these horrible crashes can be called an accident,

they’re all crashes as there is an identifiable cause to each crash. The biggest group of people that can cause a positive change to our road trauma statistics is the entire community. It’s simple, we slow down, we wear a seat belt, we don’t drink and drive, we don’t drive when we are fatigued, and we turn the mobile phone off when we’re in the car, and we don’t play games with others in our vehicles. Getting a ticket should not be the motivation for complying with the road rules. I challenge you all to make the difference.

5th pink night sure to be winner By Barb Lowery When Mandy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, she bravely faced the many uncertainties that confront one in 11 Australian women who will develop breast cancer at some stage in their lifetime. Finally after the trauma of the diagnosis and subsequent surgery, Mandy was determined to contribute to breast cancer research to help others be it mothers, sisters, daughters and friends who may one day face the same predicament. In her treatment year Mandy’s first Pink Night was achieved to raise funds for breast cancer. To date over $40,000 has been raised, with the support from friends and businesses in the Beechworth, Albury, Wodonga and surrounding areas. Now in its 5th year, Mandy’s Pink Night will be held on Saturday, September 17, at the Beechworth Memorial Hall in Ford Street, Beechworth from 5pm to 11pm. Tickets are $15 per person, guests are asked to wear something pink and to gather a group of friends to make up a table for this event. Expect entertainment, auctions, raffles, door prizes and a prize for the most memorable pink outfit. All proceeds of the event will go direct to The Breast Cancer Council Research Foundation. To purchase tickets please phone Mandy on 0431 118 242, Sadie on 0400 953 218 or Pauline on 0429 631 007.

Don’t mess around, act FAST on stroke risks

By BERNADETTE CANNIZZARO The statistics are shocking. One in six people will suffer a stroke in their lifetime, while every six seconds someone, somewhere, regardless of age or gender will die from a stroke. September 12 to 18 is national stroke week and the National Stroke Foundation is urging all Australians to follow these six steps to reduce the risk and danger of a stroke. 1. Know your personal risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high blood cholesterol. 2. Be physically active and exercise regularly. 3. Limit alcohol consumption. 4. Avoid obesity by keeping to a healthy diet. 5. Avoid cigarette smoke. If you smoke, seek help to stop now. 6. Learn to recognise the warning signs of a stroke and act F.A.S.T. F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember and recognise the signs of stroke. Face. Has their mouth drooped? Arms. Can they lift both arms? Speech. Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you? Time. Time is critical. If you see any of these signs call 000 immediately. National Stroke Foundation CEO, Erin Lalor says by following these steps, the rate and severity of a stroke can be dramatically reduced. “Everyone, no matter who they are, can lessen their chance of stroke disability and death by understanding and then reducing their own risk of stroke.â€? Steve Boyle wishes he could have his time again. He considered himself a reasonably fit and

STROKE: Steve and Roseanne Boyle. healthy man. At 54 years of age, he and wife Roseanne were on the trip of a lifetime, touring Australia in their caravan when tragedy struck. Extreme fatigue and slight weakness in the left hand were the only symptoms Steve could recall prior to having his stroke which has now left him reliant on his wife and carers for 24 hour support. “My wife noticed early symptoms and took me to the hospital. In the hours that followed I felt the gradual loss of motor functions to the left hand side of my bodyâ€? Steve said. â€œI was diagnosed with a large blockage on the right side of the brain – smoking may have been a contributing factor.â€? Steve spent five months in hospital and rehab, while Roseanne had to find suitable accommodation with wheelchair accessibility for Steve to come home to. â€œThe stroke turned my life upside down. It

stopped me being able to work, drive and travel in our caravan which we were doing at the time of the stroke,â€? Steve said. “I have no movement down my left side. I am often fatigued which makes planning daily activities difficult.â€? Regular blocks of physio, hydrotherapy, trying hobbies one handed, working with occupational therapists, and counselling assist in Steve’s recovery along with monthly meetings held by the Wodonga Stroke Support Group. “The support group has enabled me to get out and talk to other stroke survivors in a positive manner,â€? Steve said. The Stroke Support Group is for people who have been affected by stroke and their carers or family members. The aim of the group is to provide an opportunity for people to meet others who have had similar experiences, share information about services and strategies that may be helpful in recovery after stroke, and promote recovery with a positive focus on living from the effects of stroke. Rochelle Shackelton the group’s co-ordinator, says they meet monthly at the Commercial Club Albury (usually in the Elizabeth room), from 10am-11am on the last Thursday of each month. Meetings generally include a guest speaker, education or activity for the first half followed by social time/ informal chat. The group is supported by the Stroke Recovery Association NSW and the National Stroke Foundation. Membership cost is $11 per year or $16.50 for families, which goes to the Stroke Recovery Association NSW. People can contact Rochelle on 6051 7400 for more information about the group and strokes in particular.

As a busy fitness professional, I want to help as many people get fit and healthy. Sometimes the struggle comes in solely, getting our message out to the people! We recently decided to run a community fitness challenge; meaning we needed to get that message out to the community. I contacted Anna Crothers from !LBURY 7ODONGA .EWS7EEKLY to see if they could help. The first thing that struck me was Anna’s willingness to help and acceptance of our cause. Many other businesses were sceptical and wanted to know, solely, what was in it for them. With !LBURY 7ODONGA .EWS7EEKLY I could sense a genuine support and commitment, thus ensuring our decision to allow them to come on board as our official print media supporter.

BOLOGNAISE SAUCE (Serves 5-6)

So our goal – to reach as many people within our local community and encourage them to join our free 12 week fitness challenge. Initially, our goal was maybe 100 to 200 people. That number would have been absolutely fantastic! A result - 3 days prior to the official start date we had 500 people and a new problem – how do we cater for so many people? Our media advertising worked TOO well, reaching people as far as Rutherglen, Myrtleford, Corowa, Mt Beauty and more‌ for a campaign advertised through Albury Wodonga. How can I be sure that !LBURY 7ODONGA .EWS7EEKLY had contributed so well and made the difference? From past campaigns, we have NEVER had a response like this, and we can track it back to the support that Anna and all the !LBURY 7ODONGA .EWS7EEKLY team have given us! I cannot recommend them more. Not only have they helped to promote our challenge, but they have shown genuine support to their local community for a great cause! Regards, Josh Dickinson, Owner/Director Physique Essentials

S

paghetti Bolognaise, Spag Bol or Ragu’ alla Bolognaise has become a favourite Aussie comfort food. It’s now the most-cooked meal in Australian homes, yet everyone’s recipe is different. You could travel the world and never have the same Bolognaise sauce twice. But one thing is for sure. If Bolognaise is made in an Italian home, it will generally contain pork and veal mince, rather than beef. The latter can become a little “grittyâ€? in texture and take far longer to cook, whereas pork and veal gives a silky texture and cooks in the mandatory 30 minute cooking time we often allow for dinner these days. As a friend of mine says, â€œthere will always be a pig lurking in any self respecting Italian Bolognaise recipeâ€?.

Is Bolognaise Sauce traditionally served over spaghetti?

Centuries ago Tagliatelle was always the preferred pasta as wider noodles were thought to hold up the sauce better. Today I’ve used Pappardelle.

Best Cheese?

Parmesan Cheese is the traditional topping for Bolognaise Sauce over pasta, but make sure it’s good quality. Parmigiano Reggiano is the ultimate and Grana Padano comes a pretty good second. However, I thought I’d try the best Australian version of Parmesan. Aussie award-winning Dairy Farmer’s Mil Lel, is a fresh “grana� (grainy-textured) cheese and not a bad effort for everyday dishes.

4 00g lean pork mince 4 00g lean veal mince 3 tblspns virgin olive oil 2 onions, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 x 400g cans diced tomatoes 1 /3 cup tomato paste 1 cup chicken stock 1 cup red wine 1 tblspn each chopped thyme and oregano 2 tspns chopped fresh rosemary s alt and ground pepper to taste freshly cooked pappardelle or tagliatelle, for serving f reshly shaved Parmesan cheese, for serving

Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute onion and garlic until soft but not brown. Remove to a large dish. Add remaining oil and half of the combined mince to the pan and brown it well, breaking up mince with a fork. Add to the onion. Brown remaining mince well. Return mince, onion and garlic to pan and stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, stock and red wine. Cook stirring occasionally over medium heat until half the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook a further 15 minutes. Taste and season again if necessary. Serve over freshly cooked pasta and top with Parmesan cheese. PAUL’S WINE PICK: If you want to stick with the Italian theme, try a Pizzini Sangiovese (from the King Valley) or a genuine Chianti Classico from Tuscany. If you are feeling a bit macho, it is hard to go past a good ole Aussie shiraz or Grenache from South Australia.

Wine grapes in Australia – a mix of cultures

A

ustralia is an egalitarian nation – we welcome immigrants of all cultures and (mostly) live in harmony in a land of (mostly) wealth and prosperity. Over our very short history we have left a size 12 imprint on the wine world, with the best yet to come.

– meaning all our wine labels had to be changed. Litigation is pending!)

Other grapes and origins

With much success, we have embraced well-known grapes like shiraz (originally from the Northern Rhone Valley in France), chardonnay and pinot noir (from Burgundy, France) and riesling (from Germany). Although we have done pretty well in local conditions, the reality is that the “homeland” of many of these grapes took a century or more to get it right, pulling out all the stuff that didn’t work and insisting that only grapes that “fitted” be allowed within specified areas. It will probably take us a century or two before we get it right in Australia. But already, we know that riesling does best in the Clare, Eden and Barossa valleys north of Adelaide, and that (mostly) you can’t grow pinot noir north of the Murray River.

Apart from more well known grapes, the following varieties are planted extensively here in Oz, but are still best from their (country of origin): Chenin blanc (Loire Valley, France), gewurztraminer (Alsace, France), sauvignon blanc (Loire Valley, France), verdehlo (Madeira, Portugal), grenache (Southern Rhone Valley, France), merlot (Italy), gamay (Beaujolais, France) Strangely enough, we have actually done better with a couple of varieties than the original overseas growers. For example, semillon has thrived in the Hunter Valley, producing “honeyed” whites that take prodigious bottle age, and our favourite Aussie “wine for heroes”, durif, has all but been grubbed out in its home town of Montpellier in France. That’s an odd thing to do, as durif is going gangbusters in Australia (or at least, in Rutherglen). I can only think that the Froggies have got too many grapes to choose from ...

New boys on the block

My conclusion?

Traditional varieties

Over the past couple of decades, we have seen a rush to plant new and exotic varieties here in Oz, some with success and other plantings being pure disasters. For example, the vermintino, sangiovese, barbera and nebbiolo grapes have done very well in the King Valley near us, and are all of Italian origin. Spain gave us tempranillo and albarino (or at least we thought we had albarino – it turns out that there was a stuff-up in the vines and we ended up with what was savignin blanc – different to sauvignon blanc

very year at this time new plants come into nurseries. It is amazing how horticulturalists continually come up with new cultivars of well-loved species like Hydrangeas. This year there are beautiful new hydrangeas in the “Tea Time” series, with the old-fashioned mophead style flowers in many different colours ranging from white, all through the pinks and blues. They are small, compact plants, with

of light

branches growing in a very balanced way, making them ideal for containers. Tea Time hydrangeas like part sunny conditions (not late afternoon sun), and prefer moist, loamy soil. There is a new Begonia range called the Beleaf series, which have the most stunning coloured foliage. It is said to be less vulnerable to mildew attacks. They have names like Evening Glow and Inca Fire, and are ideal for use in containers as centerpieces for a table, or on a terrace or verandha, as they prefer to be indoors or else in a very protected outdoor situation. Another range of Begonias, the Betulia series, also has some new varieties which grow to about

20cm tall and wide. They produce masses of really beautiful, showy flowers (bright pink, blush pink, orange and red) right through the warmer months. Like the Beleaf series, they do well in containers in a sheltered environment, protected from frosts. A new Cordyline called “Electric Star” has very distinctive green and burgundy striped, arching foliage. It is said to be a very compact grower that will not develop a bare single-stemmed trunk but will grow side shoots, causing the plant to become very dense. It grows to about 2m x 1.5m and would make a terrific statement at an entrance, either in a container or in a garden bed.

There are two new bicolour grasses in the Carex ssp. called Everest (silvery-white and dark green stripes) and Everoro (Gold

and green stripes), which look great cascading from large containers, or else, used in mass planting as a groundcover. They grow to a decent size – about 50cm high and 45cm wide – and are very easy-care with a good frost tolerance. If you are looking for a new climbing plant, several new Mandevilla ssp. are coming into the nurseries in the “So” series. There are new Hibiscus, a Phormium called Chocomint Mist, a lovely new red-flowering, semiprostrate Grevillea and other new plants too numerous to mention, so if you are looking for a replacement plant or have extra space needing to be filled, have a look at all the new varieties in local nurseries.

Let’s celebrate the diversity of Australian grapes and wine growing areas – it’s been great fun experimenting (as long as you are not a wine grower), and meeting the challenge picking out the best regions for any grape or favourite wine style. We may need another 100 years to get it right, but although we have a bit of the larrikin in us, we are also a gifted child and I reckon the best is yet to come – watch out World!

HURRICANE Irene is not only huffing and puffing. She’s also tweeting. A Twitter account with the handle @ irene is pouring out a stream of tips on how to stay safe in the storm along with occasional quips. “My first time in Kitty Hawk!� Irene said when the hurricane touched down in the North Carolina town famed as the site of the first powered flight. “Where’s the Wright Bros museum?� As for Cape Lookout, also in North Carolina, Irene said it “doesn’t look anything like the brochure my travel agent gave me but still a very charming town�. The @irene account, which has more than 8600 followers, is also forwarding messages from the US Federal Emergency Management Agency, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others. “There are 78 hurricane shelters and eight special medical centers across the city. There is plenty of room. No one will be turned away,� @mikebloomberg said. According to The Wall Street Journal, the @irene account belongs to Irene Tien, a 28-year-old New York woman who was convinced by her colleagues at a digital media firm to lend her handle to the hurricane moving up the US East Coast. Tien told the newspaper she was initially reluctant because “it’s a hurricane, it’s sensitive, it’s potentially dangerous and horrible�. She was eventually, persuaded, however, and co-workers in New York are posting the tweets while Tien enjoys a weekend on the other side of the country in Los Angeles.

By TREVOR JACKSON APPS has been the buzz word regarding Apple products for quite some time. As far as the iPhone is concerned there’s a myriad of options in the app store depending on what you want from your handset. I’ve used my iPhone and many different apps extensively for photography with varying results. But I wanted something more, something that offered real creativity and processing options ‌ then I stumbled across Photoshop Express. It allows me more creative and artistic options than any of the other apps I’ve used with an easy to use touch and drag interface, and it’s also available for

other handsets. I can crop an image to any size I want and I can rotate, straighten or even flip an image. I can adjust the exposure, saturation, add a tint, soft focus or reduce noise in an image. A big feature to me is the option to sharpen an image, and while some care needs to be taken, good results can be obtained with a steady hand and a watchful eye. Most of this can be achieved by simply choosing the option, touching the screen and dragging your finger until the desired result is achieved. And then there are more preset options such as vibrant, pop, rainbow and vintage, but one of my favourites is the soft black and white option which works

great for portrait shots. And of course your photo can be finished off with varying frames, soft edges or even a vignette. Overall I’ve found the app to be user friendly and produce good results but there is a downside. Photoshop is power hungry on a computer and the app on an iPhone is no different. Be sure to have a power supply close by if you intend to do any serious processing. And one last thing, remember, there is only so much you can achieve with Photoshop. Take a bit of care when you snap your subject and you can achieve printable quality photos worthy of display on a wall or online.

By Geoff Haberecht ONE of the tragedies of the modern era is the quality level of most music systems sold in the homes today. While surveys show more people hear music more today than ever, for most they have not experienced a quality sound other than live performances. With the strong Australian dollar the window of opportunity awaits with the premium products filling the price tags of where mid range equipment were only a few short years ago. Probably one of the best stories of 2011 is the emergence of the full sounding systems reduced in size. Not only do they have a sound that defies the size, along with the capacity to play thousands of different radio stations, or pay $5 per month to access any song ever made or stream music from your computer. Today even if you are downsizing you do not have to downsize tonal performance. Unlike the economy plastic packs sold on today’s mass market the quality hifi systems still exist and provide a full tonal performance. In the 1970s the average price a family spent on the musical sound experience was $800 when the family car was $3000 and a typical electricity bill was $30.

By BLAIR THOMSON LEO Sayer’s goal for this year is to play more gigs than his age. While that may have been quite easy when he was in his twenties, at 63, it’s quite a challenge. “It’s nice to cheat age,” he told NewsWeekly. “I don’t mentally think of myself as my age at all and I think that mindset is in most older artists in the way they go about things. “We can have fun with that, thinking about how I’m now parking in the seniors section of the car park, but most of my friends are people around 24 to 25.” While he may still view himself as young at heart, it was only a few years ago that some people considered him to be too old to be taken seriously. Moving from his home in England to Australia in 2005 was a chance to reinvent his career. “Sometimes you’ve got to push the envelope and do something major,” he said. “I just wasn’t enjoying it any more and I had a friend saying that down in Australia they love me. “If I had have wanted to do a new album in England, they would have said ‘no Leo, your career was over years ago mate’ but in Australia they’d say ‘bring it on’. “It was a different culture and once I got it all together, I knew moving here was the right thing; it’s been enriching.” Originally a graphic artist, with highlights including the creation of Bob Marley’s Catch A Fire album cover, Sayer leapt into the world of professional music after realising his design work left him unfulfilled. “I think music was always there for me,” he said. “If I’d been a more successful graphic artist, music would have been more of a fun thing in the background but I found it tough to mark myself out in art and in graphics. “And that frustration of not feel-

ing fulfilled only spurred me on more to do the music thing. “I’m a writer and a creator and I found something in music that I could create something better than what I could do on canvas.” Most people would best remember Sayer from his work in the 1970s, with his ultra-colourful wardrobe just as memorable as his music. But that’s not to say tracks like You Make Me Feel Like Dancing and romantic ballad When I Need You weren’t hugely popular. “I think that we made great records in the 70s and the most impressive thing is that all my records sound contemporary now,” he said.

“That might just be my opinion but there are a lot of young people that come to my show and think my music’s really hip. “I’m good at selling myself, but you’ve got to have the stuff to sell. “It’s because of the songs that I’ve had such a long career.” 2011 marks Sayer’s 40th years as a musician. “All the records I’ve made are different, but they’re like chapters in a book; they sit together,” he said. “It’s important not to get stuck on one thing.” Leo Sayer plays at the SS&A Club on Saturday, September 10 at 7.30pm.

BOXOFFICE | Email: blair.thomson@awnw.com.au MOVIE: Horible Bosses DURATION: 105 min By BLAIR THOMSON WE’VE all had terrible bosses at some point in our lives. But few of us can say we’ve ever worked for people as abhorrent as the characters in new black comedy flick, Horrible Bosses. Dave Harken, played by Kevin Spacey, is an aggressive, cunning and manipulative 2IC at a financial firm, Jennifer Aniston plays a blackmailing dentist that threatens to break off her male assistant’s engagement unless he sleeps with her, and Colin Farrell is a cocaine snorting wanker at the helm of a chemical company. Their long suffering employees, played superbly by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, want to exact their revenge of their superiors. While murdering them might seem a tad extreme at first glance, the three men soon convince each other that their bosses are so atrocious that they need to be knocked

off by a hitman. Cue a surprisingly funny Jamie Foxx (he somehow manages to make drinking through a straw a side-splitting spectacle). Fresh from jail, Foxx tells the trio he can “sort them out” for only $5000. But they soon realise his bark is far worse then his bite, when he explains he’ll be their “murder consultant” for the five-grand fee. So they set about killing each other’s bosses. While this might all sound a bit dark for a Hollywood comedy, the blundering lead characters execute the story with disarming, brilliant hilarity. Bateman, Day and Sudeikis riff off each other like old friends and each actor brings their own comedic style to the film. A few plot twists, which see the guys left in a sticky situation for crimes they didn’t commit, keeps the story interesting and viewers guessing. There’s nothing not to like about this film.

Jade again a favourite

LABELLED “Australia’s King of Country Rock” by Johnny O’Keefe and having shared a stage with the late-great Johnny Cash, Jade Hurley is not to be missed at this year’s Wodonga Senior Celebrations. Hurley will play a free concert on Monday, October 3, at 10am at Faith City in De Kerilleau Drive, Wodonga. Hurley was first noticed as a 14-yearold singing in a talent quest in the beer garden of a Sydney hotel by O’Keefe, who saw enough to launch his career on the historic television program Six O’Clock Rock. From Six O’Clock Rock and Bandstand to his own regular segment on The Mike Walsh Show, Midday with Ray Martin and Kerri Anne, to appearances on Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton on the TEN Network along with many others, he has

always, during all of these years, been in huge demand. His over the top flamboyant costumes and performances coupled with his unique ability to mix his classic rock ‘n’ roll hits with country music, brings every audience to its feet. In recent years, Hurley has been recognised for his nurturing of up and coming musicians and entertainers as well as being a major supporter and fundraiser for the Australian Cancer Foundation for Medical Research, The Arthritis Foundation, Heart Foundation, Camp Quality, and he is Patron of the Blind and Visually Impaired. For this reason, as well as for his contribution to the Australian Music Industry and the community at large, he was awarded the highly prestigious Order of Australia Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honors List.

FLAMBOYANT ENTERTAINER: Jade Hurley continues to tour nationally and will be in Wodonga next month as a highlight of the Senior Celebrations.

Hurley has recently released a new album, titled I Can’t Make It On My Own and an autobiography, The Jade Hurley Story. Hurley is the ultimate survivor in the Australian music industry, and has without doubt, lived up to the tag bestowed on him by the late-Johnny O’Keefe. His Wodonga concert, which will run for an hour, will be followed by a light lunch, an acrobatic display by The Fruit Bats and a movie matinee. Bookings are required by phoning 1300 796 222 before Friday, September 30. The event was a sell-out last year, so if you want to participate this year get in fast. Wodonga Council would like to thank Wodonga Senior Celebration’s major sponsor, Westmont Aged Care Services Ltd, and all supporting and community sponsors.

DURING the Wodonga Senior Celebrations 2011, Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre will be giving participants the opportunity to participate in two great programs. They include aqua aerobics and pilates, and are both free. YMCA’s dry programs director Craig Hortin said the programs are aimed at healthy living and wellness. “We are aware of the benefits aqua exercise has by helping increase cardio vascular fitness while reducing the stress on the body from impact,” Mr Hortin said. “However, the benefits of participating in pilates can at times be overlooked. “Pilates helps elongate and strengthen muscles, improve balance, posture, flexibility, stamina, muscle tone and primarily focuses on breathing and quality controlled movements with little to no impact.” Both of these programs are featured in a host of opportunities offered by Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre during Wodonga Senior Celebrations.

A new approach to retirement living at White Box Rise THE Grove, a boutique gated precinct of 25 lots located at White Box Rise, is pushing the boundaries of traditional retirement living with new affordable housing being designed for people who have better things to do than grow old gracefully. Today’s seniors want lifestyle options better suited to active independent living, not traditional retirement villages that have expensive monthly fees and limited choices. The Grove is their ideal lifestyle solution. The entire precinct is purpose designed for active seniors, with limited steps, low maintenance gardens and security. The selection of house designs are stylish, single level and low maintenance with an emphasis on outdoor living. All 25 lots are centred around

a private park with themed landscaping that includes lemon, mandarin and cumquat trees, as well as a barbecue and entertainment area all managed by an Owners Corporation. Each property will be connected via remote to the precinct front gates for added security and residents will have the option of being connected to a 24 hour emergency call system.

You’re in safe hands

SKILFULL: Lloyd Curtis has 20 years of experience in remedial massage.

LLOYD Curtis is the newest member of the team at AC Chiropractic. Educated at St Paul’s College, Walla, Mr Curtis has worked as a banker, a police officer and as the first franchisee of The Athlete’s Foot in Albury. He owned that business for seven years, before selling it and starting his own Remedial Massage Business. He holds a diploma of remedial massage and has practiced for 20 years. He is well known for his involvement with football, and was a premiership player for North Albury in the Ovens and Murray league in 1980. He also played for Culcairn, Howlong and Burrumbuttock. During his footy career he suffered different injuries and had a troublesome lower back. He had various types of treatment and built up an interest in different modalities and techniques which led him to study remedial massage. Over the past 20 years he has been to many courses as well as developing his own techniques and expertise in diagnosis and treatment of many complaints. The following testimonial is from patient Norma Prior: “I had a pain in my side for a month, I went to the doctor who sent me to a specialist to have a scan. “They could not find anything

wrong with me. “This went on for 2 ½ months. My only relief was lying down, standing and sitting were very painful. “I got instant relief from Lloyd’s treatment and the pain has not come back. “He also helped me with my dizziness.” Mr Curtis said he was not suggesting that people not go and see their doctor. “In many cases it should be the first port of call,” he said. “However if they do not get relief from their problem they should look elsewhere. “There are many very good remedial massage therapist, chiropractors, osteopaths, naturopaths acupuncturists and physiotherapists in Albury Wodonga. “Sometimes it may be a combination of treatments between practitioners which will help someone.” Mr Curtis said arthritis is blamed for many ailments. In his experience, in many cases significant pain relief can be gained through massage and gentle non-manipulative release of the facet joints of the vertebrae. “For example, Mrs Prior’s facet joint at C-3 was locked, once released her dizziness improved considerably,” he said.

RESULTS: Rita Lazauskas with one of the results of a two week tour of Morocco. The other works are currently on display at the GIGS Art Gallery on the Lincoln Causeway. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON. By BLAIR THOMSON AN exhibition showing at the GIGS Art Gallery gives an intriguing insight into the north African nation of Morocco and its culture. Drawing On Morocco features photographs and drawings, mainly from local artists, who created their works while touring the country with artist Rita Lazauskas. “It’s an interesting insight into the lives and minds of the people there,” Ms Lazauskas said. “We went to places like

the Djemaa el Fna Square which has had a market every night for the last 1000 years with things like snake charmers and monkeys. “Then there’s things like camels, sand dunes, and ancient cities that are 1000 years old with buildings made of mud, but they’re now peppered with satellite dishes and contemporary signs of life as well.” While there were challenges for the artists along the way, including a bombing at the square three weeks

before their arrival, Ms Lazauskas said the results were impressive. “There are charcoals, pastels, ink, a few oil and acrylic paintings and digital photography,” she said. “They’re fantastic. “We also interacted with children there, so there’s a few examples of drawings from Moroccan children. Ms Lazauskas said nine people had already signed up for next year’s art tour. The display shows at the gallery until September 25.

Family home with room to move TRUE value and real potential perfectly describe this week’s featured property which will ideally suit those wanting a family home with room to move and entertain. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac the three generous bedrooms with built in robes and a fourth bedroom or study set the scene for comfortable, private living. An L-shaped lounge room with new carpet leads to the recently renovated kitchen with gas stainless cooking and dishwasher. A large dining area adjoins with enough space for the large family gathering or dinner party.

A glass sliding door allows the guests to spill out to the piece de resistance, a 12m x 5m covered timber deck for year round entertaining. Complete with built in barbecue the deck overlooks the expansive rear yard which backs onto parkland. A 7m x 6m powered workshop keeps the tinkerer or handyman satisfied while a double carport ensures the daily drive is under cover while providing easy access for the boat or camper. A full bathroom, separate toilet, ducted floor heating and evaporative cooling complete the package.

With the introduction of any new legislation, there is always a period of adjustment, and commencement of the new Residential Tenancies Act 2010 on 31 January this year was no exception. REINSW has been working with property managers to make sure they fully understand the impact of the changes to their obligations, while also identifying issues with the legislation and bringing them to government attention. At a time when the rental market is already tight, government should be encouraging purchasers to invest in the residential property market, rather than introducing obstacles that make investing in real estate less attractive. There is a rental crisis gripping NSW and while REINSW acknowledges there are a variety of investment opportunities out there, our fear is that there are some aspects of the legislation that will deter investment in residential property at a time when it is so desperately needed. Alarmingly, it’s just seven months since the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 was introduced and we are already hearing anecdotally that existing landlords are moving away from property and choosing other investments – further exacerbating the already chronic shortage. Forcing a landlord to install prescribed water efficiency measures, whether a tenant wants them or not, or risk not being able to recover water usage costs from a tenant, is

Tim McKibbin Chief executive officer Real Estate Institute of NSW

www.reinsw.com.au just one of the areas causing concern. REINSW has received feedback from property managers that many tenants are unhappy about these enforced requirements and this is in line with the warnings we gave the NSW Government that these provisions would be unpopular and cause confusion in the market. Another key concern for REINSW is the change to limit the period a defaulting tenant can be placed on a database to just three years. It’s simply not long enough when a judgment debt can be pursued for up to 12 years. REINSW will continue to lobby the government to ensure the best outcomes for property managers, landlords and tenants alike because unless we see the government take action in these areas we fear the rental shortage will continue.

HOUSEANDLAND | THE ONLY VIEW THAT MATTERS

Investment First step is to property buy check all costs made simple and assistance Michelle Winzer, regional general manager service and sales regional Victoria and Tasmania said the rationale behind the development of Investorville was to assist people considering making the leap from owning their own property to buying an investment property. “Buying an investment property can appear a daunting task,” Ms Winzer said. “Investorville helps to break down common misconceptions and show the financial practicalities of property investment. “It simulates every financial aspect of buying, managing and selling an investment property. “It looks at, for example, the typical cost of properties by suburb, individual affordability, operating costs and maintenance, rental income predictions, loan repayments, your net monthly position and expected capital growth. “Users can virtually try before they buy. “The properties and data reflect the Australian property market and the types of properties available.” Investorville is the most recent digital innovation developed by the Commonwealth Bank to enable people to be better informed about real estate. It follows the Commonwealth Bank Home Buyer’s Index, which categorises regions as buyers or sellers markets, and the Commonwealth Bank Property Guide iPhone App. Investorville can be found at www.investorville.com.au

4HINKING OF BUYING AN ESTABLISHED HOME Think again! Transfer duty exemptions and concessions are available for certain new home purchases, off the plan purchases, and vacant land purchases on which a home will be built within a specified time.

There is also a specific exemption for eligible seniors purchasing a new home as their principal place of residence. Visit:

www.awc.gov.au

to view our available land in NSW and then click on the link to the NSW Office of State Revenue for details and to see if you qualify.

Albury-Wodonga Corporation 2/620 Macauley Street, Albury NSW 2640 Phone: (02) 6023 8000 or 0418 492 397

FIRST home buyer numbers have decreased recently as interest rates have risen, assistance has dropped and prices have increased. This makes it even more important when working out your budget to be aware of the many costs associated with purchasing your own home; after all, you want to have as much money available for the actual property. Financial assistance In addition to the $7000 first home owner grant, those buying or building a new home can access thousands more through the bonus scheme. Check with the State Revenue Office to ensure you understand the eligibility requirements. Borrowing costs Before beginning the search for a new home, you should ascertain how much you can afford to borrow then obtain loan preapproval from the bank. When combined with your savings, the amount you borrow has to cover more than just the cost of the property, such as the loan establishment fee, mortgage insurance and stamp duty. Fees will vary from lender to lender, so be prepared to shop around for the best loan to suit your needs. Stamp duty In Victoria, stamp duty on a property is currently as high as six per cent, depending on the value of the property. However, the State Government has cut

Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

stamp duty by 20 per cent for first home buyers. Valuation report It may be worthwhile obtaining an independent valuation report on a property to indicate its current market value. The valuation must be conducted by a certified practising valuer. Legal costs Obtaining assistance and advice from a solicitor will help you navigate the relevant contracts. Fees are negotiable, so shop around and compare rates. Building and pest inspection reports Undertaking such a report may save you thousands of dollars in the future and will highlight the need to perform work on the property and make allowances in your budget for it.

Wodonga residents considering buying an investment property can now simulate real life conditions in Investorville, the Commonwealth Bank’s new online tool for budding property investors. Investorville helps de-mystify the often complex world of property investment, including simulating ongoing costs, without risking capital. Based on insights from RP Data, Investorville allows potential buyers to compare the investment opportunity in Wodonga to that of other close by regional hubs such as Wangaratta and Shepparton, where they may also consider buying. Investorville mimics reality, providing Wodonga residents with real-time exposure to the market and allowing them to make more informed property decisions. Several sample Wodonga properties are available for “purchase” within Investorville, based on the median price for houses and apartments. Wodonga’s average rental yield of 5.2 per cent for houses and 5.3 per cent for apartments is also factored in, along with its predicted capital growth. Investorville is aimed at existing home owners with potential to invest in real estate and those who already own an investment property. Available online at www.investorville. com.au the site is designed to be as fun and engaging as it is educational and informative.

localSPORT Charity ride warms up team for tour Email: trevor.jackson@awnw.com.au

OVER $600 has been raised in support of the Children First Foundation from Border cyclists with the second annual Genesys Pro charity ride. This year’s event provided an extra test for cyclists wanting to push a bit harder and attracted around 20 more riders as a result. Two circuits were offered with a 20km ride for the more social or youngsters and a 60km ride taking in the Trout Farm hill for those a little keener. Event organiser Matt Battye said he was pleased with the turnout and the support shown from the Border’s cycling fraternity. “It’s been really good, the weather’s been perfect and we’ve had a really good turnout this year,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of support from the Albury Wodonga cycling club and Brendan Washington from the junior development team has been a really big help to us. “He organised the route and organised a lot of the support from The Full Cycle. “We’ve had more people ride this year and the feedback’s been fantastic.” Mr Battye said while the event concentrated on helping the chosen charity it also allowed cyclists in the area to experience riding with a professional team. He said the Albury location was ideal with the proximity to the Tour of the Murray that the team was competing in, and the extra distance this year helped the riders to prepare for the event.

Team looking ahead ON the back of one of their best seasons to date Albury Wodonga Cycling Development squad will launch its spring racing campaign at Griffith in the annual 60km Griffith Spring Classic on Saturday, September 10. Wins from squad captain, Kade Brown at the Rutherglen Classic and more recently Declan Gregory’s John Woodman Classic victory have highlighted a big year of racing for the team. Development squad co-ordinator, Brendan Washington said 2011 had been the most successful year for the squad for some time with a recipe that is proving successful. “The guys have taken the team to another level,” Washington said. “We’ve had our best year since 2007 with wins at Rutherglen and the Woodman … we’ve got such a great group of guys.” Brown will lead the team as it takes on some of the best riders in the Riverina with recruit and AWCC criterium champion, Aaron Last to make his debut in the Riverina series alongside Washington, Gregory and Shane Way. Washington said the importance of the team environment in the development squad could not be underestimated. “Riders like Shane, who started with us in 2007 and two years later rode the Tour of New Caledonia, and Declan’s win recently really shows the importance of having that team environment,” Washington said.

“The two under 17 guys we have now have got so much potential, who knows where the sport may take them in 2-3 years.” The young riders, Ryan Allen and Liam McAlister will join the senior team at Griffith. Allen recently tasted success winning the North East Road Championships at Wangaratta while McAlister is the current AWCC road champion in his division. “I’m really looking forward to seeing how the guys go,” Washington said. “They’re great kids, they’re friends as well as team mates, which makes them really valuable members of the squad.” The Griffith Spring Classic takes place on the Saturday with an individual time trial held the following day.

Flat tyre ends Featonby’s Europe season BORDER triathlete, Jesse Featonby has finished his European ITU season with a disappointing DNF. A flat tyre at the Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia event destroyed his chances to finish and his push for selection in the upcoming Australian world cup events. A deflated Featonby said he was disappointed with his European season after suffering various problems that marred his efforts to show his ability. “I can’t begin to describe how disappointed I am and once again this trip of never ending disasters continues to throw more bad luck and trying times than I think I’ve ever dealt with,” Featonby said. “I had a lot of opportunities presented to me for the remainder of the year if I could show myself … however, it has all been taken away from me. “I had to witness a lot of rewards slip away, but worst of all, I had to walk away with a feeling of not accomplishing anything from this ITU European season. “I do feel privileged to be over here doing what I am doing, but the physical, emotional and financial demand of these setbacks have really taken their toll.” Featonby began the race in strong style positioning himself in the main group after the 1500m swim leg. Looking forward to the 40km bike leg Featonby pushed hard and was placed well as they headed into the seven lap city section of the race which included tight corners, cobblestones and a 500m long, 21 per cent grade climb with a sprint at the top. The lead group soon diminished from 15 to 10 riders and Featonby was feeling confident of a good result but in a cruel twist of fate it was all over. “I was growing with confidence and feeling fantastic and by the half way mark back to the second group was over two minutes,” he said. “I positioned myself well, rode smart but in a flash I heard my race come to an end by a tiny piece of glass. “The hissing of my rear wheel with two laps remaining was a cruel blow to end my race and to end my European season.”

Bring it on: Thunder ALBURY Thunder roared on the weekend with a strong 34-18 victory over Cootamundra at Greenfield Park, in a preview of this week’s finals clash. Both teams will again face off at the same venue on Sunday in the do or die elimination final scenario in an attempt to progress through the finals series. And while the weekend’s match was dubbed by some as simply going through the motions, for Thunder coach Josh Cale it was an important game to win. “We had a couple of losses on the trot so it was good to just get that winning feeling back and get a bit of rust out of us,” he said. “We’ve been on the road for a while so it was good to get back home and it was definitely an important win, especially playing them again this weekend.” Despite the strong showing from the home side Cale said he wasn’t reading too much into the result, more so the way each player performed in readiness for the finals assault. “You always want to win every game,” he said. “Whether they turned up ready to play or not, I’m not sure but we definitely weren’t taking it easy. “I’m sure some blokes struggled mentally but it was definitely pleasing to get the win.” Cale said going into this weekend’s clash the home ground advantage would certainly play a part in the match but expected a tougher hit-out than last week. “It’s not easy for them to have to come down two weekends in a row and we always love playing at home,” he said.

“It’s going to be a good match … I think it’s going to be a lot tougher than what it was on the weekend because both sides are going to be desperate.” The Thunder’s finals preparation took a backward step during last weekend’s game with a shoulder dislocation to Andrew Cowhan but was buoyed by the possible return of Joe Bobbin and Cale said the remainder of the team pulled up well and were ready to tackle the finals series. This season has shown strong support from Border fans and Cale said he hoped that would continue this weekend to help spur the home side on to victory. “Coota’s not as big as us but they move the ball around quite well … I’m hoping our boys can come out in the first 20 minutes and really stick it to them,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll get a really good crowd and can pay them back with a good win.”

Pigeons’ run to end against solid Tigers

STATISTICS: Bandits Ed Morris turned in some impressive numbers in the SEABL statistics for the 2011 season. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

Players show out in rankings IN the wash-up of a disappointing SEABL season for the Bandits and Lady Bandits some highs have been achieved by the Border players in the statistical rankings for the league. For the men Ed Morris was a stand-out performer with a bag of top 10 finishes. Morris managed a fourth place for points per game averaging over 19 and an impressive 55 per cent shooting from the field to give him a second place finish. He also managed a fifth for offensive rebounds and sixth for defensive rebounds to give him an overall fifth position for total rebounds for the year. He continued with an eighth place for steals and fifth for blocked shots. Travis Gabbidon finished with a ninth place for points per game and free throws adding a tenth place for steals. Nick Payne finished with an eighth place for free throws and assists. Dan Briglia finished with an impressive first place for three point shots while Mitchell Boyce managed an eighth place for blocked shots. For the girls the two import players were the top performers with both Lisa Wallbutton and Amber Land dominant under the hoop. Wallbutton achieved an impressive first place in total rebounds after finishing first and sixth respectively on the offensive and defensive ends. She also managed a tenth place finish for points per game averaging over 15. Wallbutton will join the Bendigo Spirit in the WNBL 2011-2012 season. The Bandits hope to have her back for their next season. Land finished just behind Wallbutton with a second place for total rebounds, a big effort on the defensive end bagging her first place and seventh on the offensive end. Alex Duck also featured with a second place finish for her free throw efforts shooting at an impressive 83.3 percent from the line. She also managed sixth place in steals and assists to give her an overall seventh place in the Golden Hands award, determined by adding assists and steals, subtracting turnovers and then averaged per game.

Top team struggles against cellar dwellers IN men’s domestic hockey top of the ladder Falcons found the going tough against a determined bottom placed Magpies. After conceding the first goal Falcons had to regroup and pull out all stops to eventually salvage a two-all draw. Ben Allen played a strong game for Magpies scoring from a penalty corner and was ably assisted by Simon Wright who contributed a field goal. Jason Lamb and Michael McInerney were two of Falcons

better performers. Falcons coach John Jewell said last week he was expecting a tough hit-out and the scenario unfolded in that manner. “It was just as I said, they are a tough defensive unit to crack and we had more than our fair share of the play but just couldn’t find a way through into goal,” he said. “We had a lot of penalty corner chances in the second half but were too stereotyped in our application … this was the best

hit-out we could hope for before the finals.” A Peter Barber hat-trick helped Wombats to a 5-3 win over Norths and showed they would have been a strong title contender had they started the season well. Second placed United made a statement with a demoralising 8-2 defeat of Wodonga but didn’t have it all their own way. After leading 5-0 at half time United allowed Wodonga a little more latitude resulting

in two quick goals by John Waters. But United were able to regroup and score another three to seal the game. Magpies women took a comprehensive 7-0 win over arch rivals Falcons sending a clear message to top team Norths that they have the flag well and truly in their sights. But another scintillating performance from Nan Latta with five goals ensured Norths were not troubled, taking a 6-3 victory over Wombats.
