Gay marriage out of the question, legal or not

By BLAIR THOMSON SAME-SEX couples would find it nearly impossible to get married in Border churches if their unions were legalised. The Labor Party will allow its MPs a conscience vote on a private members Bill to change the Marriage Act to allow same-sex couples to marry. Some in the Liberal Party have also supported the notion of a consciousness vote. But of 10 church leaders NewsWeekly spoke to, only one said he would marry same sex couples if the law changed. Pastor Joel Kramer of St Peter’s Lutheran Church said he was op-

posed to gay marriage and would never marry a gay couple, a sentiment echoed by Faith City senior pastor Michael Geerling. “No I wouldn’t marry gay couples, I don’t agree with it,” Mr Geerling said. “The biblical definition of marriage is a man and a woman for life. “But I do openly state that our church is a place where people are welcome from any background.” Wodonga Baptist Church pastor Jonathan Stark said he would not marry same-sex couples. “Christian values are what shaped the early part of our history and I think that to this point that’s

formed a great foundation of families in our nation,” he said. “I just think that perhaps what’s being reflected in our laws are cultural values, I think we look to our culture to make laws but I think Christians look more towards God for what laws will work out well for people.” A Bill to change the Marriage Act is likely to be introduced into Parliament early next year. It’s understood the Bill, from Labor MP Stephen Jones, will not force churches to marry same-sex couples. Father Dennis Crameri from Wodonga Catholic Parish said gay weddings would not be conducted.

“The definition of marriage as it stands at the moment is of two people of the opposite sex,” he said. But Archdeacon Peter MacLeodMiller of St Matthew’s Church said he would embrace same-sex couples looking to wed. “To be quite frank, we happily marry people who get married for the sake of immigration or for financial matters, I’m really not sure whether marriage is a misnomer,” he said. “In our tradition, to affirm people’s choices is quite important to secure things like health, property issues and having real friendship affirmed in a public way, I think most Anglicans would support that.

“It’s a step toward affirming the interests of people God has created just as he has created us. “Let’s go for it, because the alternative is too horrible. “It’s about acknowledging humanity and compassion.” Hume Phoenix publicity officer, Kelly Dwyer, said the vast majority of same-sex couples would prefer their marriage to be in a civil ceremony. “I think there’s divided opinion on the issue of same sex marriage but there are certainly lots of people who would like the opportunity to get married and their friends, families, and people they work with Continued page 4

“If you remove the legal ramifications and the laws around it, it will change society and the way people treat each other.” Local civil marriage celebrant and former Wodonga Mayor Ian Deegan said about 56 per cent of weddings were civil, rather than religious services. But he added that some

IT is hardly surprising that Border churches are nearly all against gay marriage. Those spoken to by NewsWeekly this week said the coming vote in federal parliament would have no impact on them. In fact the vast majority have blankly said they will refuse to sanction same sex marriage even if our political masters vote to change the Marriage Act to allow them. Their opposition comes from the Bible which describes marriage as the union of a man and a woman. So it is going to take quite an effort for change to come about – despite the contrary views of Peter MacLeod-Miller of St Matthews. The really interesting fact is the time this matter has occupied the minds of our politicians and therefore sections of the national media. It would seem the rights (or wrongs) of gay marriage is the most important issue facing this nation. And yet to the average Australian it is in reality as far from their mind as flying to the moon. In fact the debate says a fair bit about the state of our national political scene. Real issues like global warming, carbon tax, interest rates and the general state of the economy don’t matter it seems. The real issue is apparently whether homosexuals can get married. A strange priority indeed.

Heart risks should not be ignored

SMILE: John Wood with his 1955 T-Type MG at the Pop the Top Festival in Jindera. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON.

Getting the wind in your hair By BLAIR THOMSON FORMER Blue Heelers star and Gold Logie winner John Wood was a guest at the first Pop the Top Festival in Jindera last weekend with 35 topless and convertible cars on show. The motor enthusiast drove his 1955 T-Type MG from Melbourne to the event and chatted to other car lovers and owners about their vehicles. “I bought it for $26,500 and restored it,” he said. “I love the way it looks, the lines of the car and getting your hair blown back.” While Wood’s car and many others on display were considered vintage, sleek modern vehicles including a Mercedes Benz SL500 with a powerful V8 engine were also on show. Event organiser Craig Dent said he had been happy with the interest shown in the show. “I’m really pleased with the number of cars we got,” he said. “They came from Canberra, Wollongong, Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula and all over the place and that’s a real boost to the Jindera economy.”

By BLAIR THOMSON BORDER residents are risking their health by failing to have heart checks. That’s according to Border cardiac technician Steve King. Mr King, who works at the recently-opened Nexus Diagnostics cardiology practice, said Sudden Cardiac Arrest, also known as Sudden Cardiac Death, appeared to be of growing concern. The issue is often a silent killer as many young, seemingly fit people can carry risk factors and not know it. “Cardiomyopathy and QT syndrome are often the cause of Sudden Cardiac Arrest,” he said. “A lot of people don’t know about it until it happens. “I recently had a patient that had an arrest while at the wheel of a car and put it down to having this QT syndrome. “It’s out there, it’s just about when it triggers, I guess. “Cardiomyopathy is the same. “Until you start getting symptoms, then you really find out that they’ve got it and you do the screening for the family and find one or two others have had it down the track.” Mr King said there were “quite a few people out there” with Cardiomyopathy. “There’s maybe 10 people

Picture: BLAIR THOMSON. a week that have had the existing Cardiomyopathy that we see through the practice,” he said. “Some of them have got pacemakers in to stop them having an arrest again and defibrillators are a big part of prevention. “There are definitely people out there that have it and don’t get checked.”

Mr King, who’s primary role is checking pacemakers, doing stress checks and using Holter monitors, said Sudden Cardiac Arrest appeared to be rising. “Statistically I wouldn’t have a clue how common it is, but it seems to be on the rise,” he said. “I’d absolutely encourage people to get themselves checked

if there’s any family history. “It’s probably worth people asking their parents if there’s a history of Cardiomyopathy, or if they know of anyone who has dropped dead suddenly,. “If you’re in doubt, go and get a check up but also look at all risk factors like your weight, cholesterol and family history.”

A REVAMPED Trudewind Road Preschool has been officially opened in Wodonga. Close to $190,000 was spent upgrading the facility, which first opened more than 35 years ago. “The facility was in need of a refurbishment and these funds have provided the opportunity to ensure that the new environment supports national standards,” Wodonga mayor Mark Byatt said. “The environment has been designed to create a warm, safe and stimulating space for young children and families to learn, play and socialise.” The preschool is currently being used by Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation for their playgroup and Koori First Steps programs. Victorian Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development, Wendy Lovell, helped unveil the facelift. The Victorian Government gave Wodonga Council $188,340 for the work.

USERS of electric scooters will now be able to recharge their batteries at selected outlets in Wodonga. From Monday recharge points are now available at the Wodonga Council offices in Hovell Street, Gateway Community Health in High Street, Disability Advocacy and Information Service in Hume Street and the Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre in Hedgerow Court. Loretta Caunt from Rural Access Upper Hume said the scooter recharge scheme would allow users to be able to access an electrical outlet to recharge their scooters/electric wheelchairs while they are out in the community.

“The scheme is a simple and effective means of ensuring that people who use an electric scooter or wheelchair can travel without the fear of being stranded by a flat battery,” she said. “People can recharge at businesses and organisations that display a sticker in their window at no cost, and we encourage people using the recharge point to utilise the services provided by the business.” Rural Access Upper Hume is rolling out the scooter recharge scheme. For more information, or if you are a business that would like to participate, please phone Loretta Caunt from Rural Access Upper Hume on 0427 688 248.

HotHouse Theatre has received $153,750 annual funding to work with artists at a national level, encouraging them to use

HotHouse for their development. The Fruit Fly Circus has received $110,000 funding for year 1 of triennial program funding (2012-2014) to assist with its artistic program.

Full steam ahead for driver training centre as ...

Safety is high on the agenda

POSITIVE: Andrew Dean, site manager of the Driver Skills Training Centre pictured in the background. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON.

Gary Leo, Wodonga TAFE manager capital works and facilities, said the 130 acre site would be of great benefit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be looking at doing a lot of training with B-doubles and B-triples to take those trucks off the road during driver training,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those under training can come up to speed with the vehicles theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving before getting onto the public roads.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a few delays with the wet weather but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting wall framing for the main administration building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also got slabs going down for various external areas and we plan to start work on the driver training circuit later this month.â&#x20AC;? About 22,800 square metres of dirt has so far been excavated and moved as part of the project.

By BLAIR THOMSON A NEW driver training centre will improve road safety on the Border, according to those behind the development. The National Logistics and Driver Skills Training Centre, currently under construction at the Logic Hub at Barnawartha North and due to open June next year, will take vehicles off public roads for driver training under controlled conditions. Featuring a 1.6km by 8m wide circuit, a dirt section for four wheel drive training, dedicated motorbike and truck training areas, space for earth moving equipment training and a chainsaw training section, the centre aims to improve the driving skills of high school aged people upwards. The facility will be part of Wodonga TAFE but open to local groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opening it for use by other organisations in the community,â&#x20AC;? Wodonga TAFE CEO Michael Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Loughlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do training now for the CFA and SES, so presumably theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do some training out there and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a good relationship with the police so we would anticipate the Cool Heads program, which helps people with driving education, could also be used there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hopeful of offering a defensive driving program for teenagers once it gets up and running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trucks would be a major focus but we also want to get into driver education programs for young people, which is quite important.â&#x20AC;? Preliminary talks have been held with Wodonga Senior Secondary College staff to integrate their driver training program into the centre. The centre will also hold six classrooms when complete.

Scheme aids youth education

By BLAIR THOMSON HUNDREDS of young people are expected to benefit from a $3.25 million project aimed at improving higher education participation rates on the Border. The partnership between Wodonga TAFE, the University of Melbourne and the Victorian Government aims to create student pathways from high school to university. The Government expects 575 students will benefit from the program by 2016. Thirty seven per cent of regional Victorian students who complete Year 12 go on to higher education, compared with 64 per cent in Melbourne. Only 11 per cent of regional Victorians between 15 and 54 have

a higher education qualification, but more than 50 per cent of people in metropolitan areas have higher education qualifications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program is about getting people to participate in tertiary education,â&#x20AC;? Wodonga TAFE CEO Michael Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Loughlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very low in participation here so programs where students can stay in the region, live with mum and dad, still play footy and do a TAFE pathway and get into a degree and still finish the degree in three years has got to be a great advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the localisation which is the main part of this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already had very good responses to this and a very high degree of interest.â&#x20AC;? The program involves Year 12 students

completing diplomas that they will use as credit towards a University of Melbourne degree. Mr Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Loughlin said the TAFE was working to address limited higher education opportunities available in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re way above the state average in terms of apprenticeships and traineeships and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place to live so people often want to stay here rather than go off somewhere else to complete their degree,â&#x20AC;? he said. Minister for Higher Education and Skills Peter Hall announced the funding. He said the difference in participation rates in higher education is one that influences the prosperity of the region.

BORDER residents who have lost a loved one were able to remember them at a special annual memorial service offered by John Hossack Funeral Services, Albury. John Hossacks have offered the service for the past 10 years and funeral director, Andrew Bayston said it had proved very popular with between 100-200 people attending each year since the service first began. He said the service, held on Sunday, was all about remembering those who had passed away in a positive setting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the people do is write their own little message on a card for whoever has passed away,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bayston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the service they come and put them on the tree and the day after the service we put the tree in the chapel foyer.â&#x20AC;?

REMEMBERING: From left, funeral director Andrew Bayston, funeral celebrant Glenn Boyd, Anglican priest Mother Bethley Sullivan and funeral celebrant Barry Young OAM were present at the memorial service Sunday at the John Hossack Funeral Services chapel. Mr Bayston said he first started this style of service while living in New Zealand and while he was initially hesitant he said from day one it was a big success.

He said for many people who lose a loved one there is no assistance available after the funeral and this service was aimed at offering that support. And while he understood this type of service wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for everyone he felt it was important to offer it to those who needed the support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really warm experience â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get the odd person who says they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cry through the whole funeral process but were able to at the memorial service â&#x20AC;Ś they get a great deal out of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been coming for seven or eight years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we had one person who brought nine of their family along to ther service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows the idea is certainly needed.â&#x20AC;?

Centrelink office on the move

MOVE: Hank Jongen says Albury Centrelink is moving.

PEOPLE using Centrelink services will find the Albury office in Wilson Street, closed until December 19. This will allow a refurbishment, which started on Wednesday, to continue until Friday, December 16. In the meantime the full range of Centrelink services will be available at a temporary Centrelink Service Centre site at the Mirambeena Community Centre, 19 Martha Mews, Lavington. Department of Human Services General Manager, Hank Jongen, said residents in the Albury Wodonga area can ex-

pect to see a significant office revamp following the two week office closure. “New signage, carpet and soft furnishings will be installed and the public contact area will be redesigned to provide better access to self-service facilities,” Mr Jongen said. “The waiting areas will also be redesigned so people feel more comfortable and at ease while conducting their business at Centrelink. “I’m sure locals will appreciate the refurbished Albury office, which will continue to deliver a full range of services.” Mr Jongen also encouraged

customers to make contact with Albury Centrelink before Christmas if they have any queries. “It is important for customers to ensure all their details are up to date, especially prior to the Christmas holiday period – this will help to avoid any payment delays,” Mr Jongen said. “During the refurbishment, I would also like to remind customers they have the option of using online services by logging onto www.centrelink.gov.au or by calling 13 6240 to use phone self service. “Customers need to be registered to use these services.” Self service facilities for

Centrelink, Medicare and Child Support will be available from the temporary site at Mirambeena. Face-to-face Medicare services will continue to be provided at 489 Dean Street, Albury or Shop 4, 123-125 High Street, Wodonga. A face-to-face child support service can be arranged at Mirambeena by appointment. The office at 430 Wilson St will reopen at 8am on Monday, December 19. For more information on Centrelink services and payments visit www.centrelink. gov.au

Online service lets budding authors publish themselves Budding Border authors looking to release their works can now access D Publishing - www. dpublishing.com – to create, print, publish and commercially distribute their books and eBooks with Dymocks. The new web-based publishing service allows every Australian to become a published author. By enabling authors to take greater control of the book production and publishing process, D Publishing provides the opportunity to produce one or thousands of books. Dymocks General Manager of eCommerce Michael Allar, says the publishing service begins a new evolution of the book industry; one that not only offers more books to Albury Wodonga readers, but gives budding local authors hands-on experience with the publishing process. “Unlike the conventional publishing model, D Publishing is driven by the author,” Mr Allara said. “The author can make decisions about book content, cover, distribution and printing via our website for a far lower cost than a traditional custom or vanity publishing house would charge. “Authors who publish with D Publishing will find we do not approve or reject authors based on perceived literary merit or

commercial viability of their work – the author determines whether they are good enough to be published.” Books and eBooks published through D Publishing will be available for purchase on the Dymocks website. Books will also be presented to Dymocks bookshops nationally and will have the potential to be stocked and sold in-store. “The service will see a manuscript turn into a published work within a few hours and the physical book itself can be produced within a week and a half,” Mr Allara said. The service is as much for individuals as it is for groups, institutions or small and medium sized businesses; and aims to provide Albury Wodonga authors with the tools they need to create and publish their own book from start to finish. “We look forward to seeing the new wave of D Publishing Albury Wodonga authors come through as we know everyone has a story to tell, and the purpose of this service is to realise this potential.” Further enhancements, including professional editing and review services, will be rolled out over the coming months. For more information on this new service visit www.dpublishing.com

WODONGA’S Carols by Candlelight will be held on Sunday, December 18 at Willow Park and provides a great opportunity for the community to celebrate in song. For many this is a tradition where family and friends meet, relax in a parkland environment and sing along to old favourites. With the exception of the performers the traditional program hardly changes from year to year. A strong emphasis is always on the development of local performers both on and off the stage. The program will be broadcast live from 7.30pm on 1494 2AY. It will be hosted by Sandra Moon and available over the internet. With plenty of space, Willow Park is a great place for a picnic.

An Apex barbecue and other food providers will be available from 6pm onwards. Pre-carols entertainment will be provided by the Murray Con Big Band, Wodonga Catholic College Choirs and the Wodonga Primary Schools Choir. At 7.30pm the main program starts with all performers supported by the 32 piece Wodonga Brass, the Albury Wodonga Sing Australia choir and the Livid Singers. The event is presented by the City of Wodonga and Wodonga Brass, with significant support from Hume Building Society, Centro Wodonga, PGC Security, Wodonga TAFE, Barlens Hire and 1494 2AY. Admission is free with proceeds from candle sales and any donations going to Albury Wodonga Health’s Community Rehabilitation Centre.

lIVINGnOW O

ne of the healthiest Christmas gifts you can give to family or friends this year is a box of locally grown fresh cherries. Look for them now at farmer’s markets or farm gates where some cherry farmers let you pick your own. Ruby red sweet cherries are one of the delights of summer and are in season from mid to late November to the end of February. There are over 500 cherry growers in Australia. Varieties grown locally include Black Douglas, Ron’s, Bing, Supreme, Chelan, Sylvia, Vista, Stella, Lambert, Merchant, Supreme, Sweetheart, Lewis and the Morello sour cherry that’s so popular in Europe.

How to select a good cherry ?

Look for firm and glossy, shiny fruit with a red blush and bright green stem.

How to store cherries?

Most cherry varieties keep well in a storage bag in the refrigerator for one week. Only rinse them just before eating or using in recipes.

Cherry Antioxidant Power

Cherries are a smart food choice as they are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, iron and fibre. These cute fruit are just so delicious to eat anytime.

ardeners must be among the easiest of people for whom to shop! There are so many products with which they will be happy, apart from another plant. A gift need not be for the actual garden. Anything botanical, like soap or another body-care product with a floral scent or derived from a botanical base, is suitable. One long-lasting gift is a subscription to a gardening magazine. There are a myriad from which to choose, and application forms can usually be found included in the current months’ edition. Does anyone need reminding of gardening books? There are so many on the shelves. But could I encourage you to buy books which are applicable to Australia, if it is for a practical gardener? As beautiful as those from other countries are, they often have no relevance to our conditions. If gardening is a new interest for a gift recipient, a new edition of Yates Garden Guide has recently been released. It covers every topic of interest to a gardener, from the actual designing of a garden, to the choice of plants and which mulch might be good in the relevant situation. There are a number of excellent little books on specific issues such as “Sustainable Gardens”, “Plant Names, or “Composting” published by the CSIRO. Visit their web-site at www.publish.csiro.au for a full list of titles. There are a multitude of gardening tools now available, everything from simple trowels to sophisticated pruning sets of secateurs

– a different pair for different sorts of plants. Aprons with a number of pockets suitable to hold various tools are another idea. And large spades and long-handled forks are being produced in lighter materials so women do not find them too heavy! The array of containers on the market is amazing. They come in every colour, shape and size as well as in numerous materials, from plastic to pottery to terracotta. Make sure you choose one which will fit in with established décor. We all should be wearing hats with substantial brims at this time of the year, and there are lots to choose from. Either cloth or straw ones with a strap or chin-tie, are good so long as they cover the back of your neck as well as your face. Rubber garden clogs are a terrific item to find at the door. You just slip into them and start whatever job you need to do. They are fully waterproof and come in a range of colours. Knee pads are another helpful item for gardeners, as are light cotton scarves to shade the neck, and new gardening gloves. There are some pretty flash models called Deer Grain Gloves, which have deerskin palms and an elastic cuff. They are said to be very strong as well as comfortable. Birdbaths, bags to carry weeds and prunings, an ornament like a sundial, a piece of sculpture, fertilizer – there is so much to choose from. Maybe a husband, who is not the chief gardener in the family, could offer so many hours of his time to the lady who looks after their garden!!

garden tasks ✓ Three David Austin roses, all of which which flourish here, have just won awards for fragrance. They are the creamy white Claire Austin, best grown as a small climbing or pillar rose, which won the most fragrant rose in the South Australia rose trials, the

compact little Munstead Wood, a crimson flowering bush rose which is small enough to grow in a large container, and Skylark which has lilac-pink flowers and grows into a very nice shape. ✓ Have you thought of growing roses to create a hedge?

They flower for months here, and require little attention once they are established. ✓ Two herbs which can still be sown now are chives and dill. Both are very handy to have growing in your garden. Chives can be sown near roses.

Buy a Cherry Pitter

This humble little tool available from kitchen shops is essential to remove cherry stones easily and cleanly. It doubles up as an olive pitter and also reduces the risk of chipping teeth on cherry stones!

EASY WAYS TO USE CHERRIES

• • • • • • • • • • • •

Eat cherries raw for a healthy snack. Include in salads and salsas. Team them with goat’s cheese, camembert or brie. Add to Bircher-style muesli Make delicious cherry smoothies with added milk, yoghurt and ice. Include cherries in fruit salads Poach or microwave to use in fruit crumbles Add to sweet and savoury sauces Add cherries to brownie or cheesecake recipes Make a French cherry clafoutis or cherry and ricotta crepes Use cherries in luscious dessert cakes, pavlova or make cherry muffins For a simple dessert, serve a plate of perfect plump fresh cherries, roasted almonds or walnuts, pieces of dark chocolate and nougat – so easy and so delicious!

Paul’s Wine Pick

Its summer and the living is easy ... white wine drinkers –for this dish look no further than a nice chilled Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley or Margaret River . ABW (anything but white ...) drinkers should try a slightly chilled Pfeiffer’s Gamay or a “real deal” Gamay from Beaujolais (France) – try the Guigal, if you can find it.

salt and ground pepper 1 tblspn finely chopped tarragon

1 smoked chicken 1 butter lettuce, torn into pieces 2 cups rocket leaves 1 cup thinly sliced celery 1 small red onion, finely sliced 1 ½ cups fresh cherries, pitted 1/3 cup broken walnuts

METHOD

Strip chicken meat from bones and cut into bite-size pieces. Arrange lettuce and rocket on a large white serving platter. Scatter with celery, onion, chicken, cherries and walnuts. Place ingredients for dressing in a bowl and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Drizzle dressing over salad and serve immediately.

Celebration

occasionally come across a unique breed of wine lover – the person that will drink absolutely nothing else other than a particular style of wine. For many this is health related, with adverse reactions to sulphites (white wine) or histamines (red wine) not being uncommon. But others have a “one-track” palate. Whatever the occasion and whatever the time of day, they will drink only, say, a “big red”. What a great pity! They are missing out on marvellous opportunities to stretch the boundaries of their experience, and to match different wines to different food and occasions. I am often asked to pick wine for an event such as a wedding or dinner party. Before I do so, I conduct the wine equivalent of the “Spanish Inquisition”, getting details of the type of food, time of day, inside or outside, etc, before making wine choices. The reason? The environment and type of occasion will dictate the outcome for a bottle – Grange Hermitage is the vinous equivalent of ecstasy when served at an inside dining table with, say, a nice piece of roast beef. But take the Grange outside to a barbecue, and the subtle smells and complexities are (quite literally) blown away by the breeze, not to mention the mozzie spray and the adjacent barbeque odours. So here are a couple of tips for special events....

CHERRY & SMOKED CHICKEN SALAD Ingredients

and types from light to medium whites, rosé, light to medium reds, beer and the obligatory “sparkly” to toast the birthday person. A bit of fun is to also prepare a tasting sheet of, say, 10 wines with a couple of notes about each bottle (your merchant can help) – hand your guests the list and let them make choices of the style they prefer, and the order that they would like to drink. At my daughter’s post-wedding recovery I tried this idea out with huge success (although a few of the younger lads were dragged away by their wives and partners, kicking and screaming, and complaining that they had “only got to number 7”).

Weddings

Don’t worry about the bulk Sherry – that’s a tad too retro. Most people love a cold beer, or an equally cold glass of bubbly on arrival, or the option of a lighter white wine such as Sauvignon blanc or Semillon sauvignon blanc. But you would be amazed at how many people, at this point of the function, will ask for a glass of red! And don’t complicate the event – have a single choice of red and white for the whole of the wedding breakfast. Also, forget the sweet wine with the pudding – no one is interested. Similarly, this is not an occasion for postevent digestifs like port, muscat, tokay, etc. Instead, after the breakfast, continue the bubbly and beer, along with the red and white wine. As long as the quality and quantity is right, everyone will be happy! Next Week: Wines for the barbie or dinner party

Birthdays

It will depend on the time of day and location, but the best approach is to have a range of different wine styles

Understanding grief can help lessen the burden

To have an insight of what someone is going through at a time of loss can allow you, as a friend to support the grieving person or family by understanding the seven stages of grief that they will be experiencing through this time of upmost turmoil and sadness. 1 Shock and denial You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks. 2 Guilt and pain As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs. You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn’t do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase. 3 Anger Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion. You may rail against fate, questioning “Why me”? 4 Depression, loneliness, reflection Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad

reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be “talked out of it” by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving. During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You

A tradition of personal and professional care for over 6 decades

may sense feelings of emptiness or despair. 5 The upward turn As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organised. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your “depression” begins to lift slightly. 6 Reconstruction and working through As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her. 7 Acceptance and hope During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled you that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward. You will start to look forward and actually plan things for the future. Eventually, you will be able to think about your lost loved one without pain; sadness, yes, but the wrenching pain will be gone. You will once again anticipate some good times to come, and yes, even find joy again in the experience of living. Keep these stages in mind when you are supporting your loved ones through this sad time and remember, whilst we can struggle for things to say and comfort, just being there is comfort enough.

A monument to years of professional service

Three generations of skilled craftsmanship in design and monumental masonry has secured the Border’s Brosolo family as one of the most trusted and professional businesses in the region Brosolo Memorials offer a variety of memorials and headstones and can accommodate your wishes to create something special and different. The team specialises in design and erecting memorials, renovations, additional lettering, granite, bronze plaques and cement memorials. All granite and marble used is of the highest quality and all memorials have fully reinforced foundations and are guaranteed by Brosolo Memorials. “We often tell our clients not to rush memorials because it is forever,” Tania Brosolo said. “We allow the client to work at their own pace to ensure they are one hundred per cent happy with their selection, after all it is an artwork and it is designed to last forever.” The team can assist you with your selection and offer quotes free of charge. “Paul has been with the family business since he was 17 and he is a qualified monumental mason,” Tania said. “We have sustained an 80 year reputation built on excellent product, longevity of memorials and excellent workmanship.”

A sensitive, caring team John Hossack Funeral Services has built up a team of professionals who care a great deal about the work they do. They are sensitive to the individual needs of each person they see. The subject of death is something not many people choose to talk about freely. Almost the only time we do is when it concerns someone else. Talking about our own death or the death of someone close is very hard. We all think “it’s not going to happen to our family”. Or, how many times have I heard “aw mum, you have years yet”. Let’s all hope she does, but if someone wants to talk about their death, or asks for certain things to happen at their funeral – please do listen to them. Many times I have heard people say, after they have pre arranged their funeral, “well, now we can get on with living”. It is becoming more common for people to “pre-arrange” the details of their own funeral. Funerals can also be prepaid, with the money being placed into a funeral bond. These bonds pay an annual interest into the bond, so when the time comes there are sufficient funds to pay for the funeral. These bonds are very flexible to suit the requirements of the individual. They can be paid in full, or in instalments. For further informartion contact John Hossack Funeral Services on 6041 3855, or www.hossackfunerals.com.au

Ensure peace of mind for yourself and those you love by preparing now for the future.

Our peaceful gardens are set against beautiful bushland, with manicured lawns, shady trees and stunning roses oﬀering a serene space to reﬂect on those special occasions, anniversaries or tough days.

Family wishes are always the priority SERVICE: The Howard Squires Group is working hard to serve a wider community base.

Continuing the commitment Howard Squires Funerals has joined with a number of trusted funeral providers in the past year to improve the reach of quality funeral services into more of regional Victoria and southern NSW. A trusted member of the many country communities for generations, they merge with renowned groups like Bamford Funerals to create an expanded network of funeral services committed in their aim to bring expert funeral care and comfort to all of the country. From their early begin-

nings at Corowa in 1875 to the expanded funeral group they have become today, Howard Squires Funerals continues to build on the solid country values of respect and dignity for all. The sum of many great funeral companies from Melbourne to the Murray, Howard Squires Funerals is led by a wealth of experienced directors who know exactly what to do in any situation. With staff dedicated to going the extra mile for your every need, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. “We are committed to

providing adequate time and support for families to pay a fitting tribute” said Dianne Jones, Victorian State Manager. “Drawing on 135 years of experience and empathy we assist families ‘pen their lasting remembrance’ in a fitting commemoration” Servicing funerals right across Victoria and southern New South Wales with a fleet of hearses and chapel facilities, Howard Squires Funerals will continue to bring comfort and peace to the community for perhaps another 135 years.

It is inevitable, our bodies will lay to rest, one day. During this time of mourning, it is comforting to know our families have the support and professional care from the team at one of the finest funeral directors on the Border, Lester & Son, Funeral Directors. The team conduct more services than any other operator in the Border area. “We are proud of our reputation for professional and thoughtful service,” business partner Pauline Harbick said. “Funerals only happen once so it is important that everything is done properly and in line with the wishes of the family.” There are many things to consider such as deciding on a burial or cremation, chapel, church or other location, minister, priest or celebrant. Then there is the added thought of catering for a wake, production of service sheets and broadcast of service over the internet. It is comforting to know however, Lester and Son are full service providers and they can organise a wide range of service to fit with a families budget and requirements. “Pre-planning a funeral can give peace of mind and remove much of the burden from a family during their time of loss,” Ms Harbick said. “Plans can be very simple with just a few basic ideas for the service or they can be very detailed specifying readings and music. Plans can be kept on file until they are needed and can be changed or updated at any time.

TEAM: Directors Darren and Julie Eddy with Pauline and Andrew Harbick. “Consideration can also be given to investing in a funeral bond to assist with expenses at the time of death.” Lester & Son is the only funeral service with funeral homes in both Albury and Wodonga and are proud of their accredited membership of the Australian Funeral Directors Association. Established in 1907, their commitment to excellent service has awarded them in previous years in excellence in customer service and best small/medium business at the Chamber Business Awards.

It’s not just a cemetery ... it’s personal. AlburyCity Cemeteries and Crematoria provides the community a beautiful, tranquil setting which is as much about visitation for families as it is a resting placed for our loved ones. The tranquil Glenmorus Memorial Gardens nestled at the base of the hills provides an atmosphere to assist in healing, peace and remembrance. The garden setting, with manicured lawns, rose gardens and water features provides options for personalised memorials. The friendly, understanding staff on hand, are compassionate and provide professional guidance while assisting you every step of the way. “We discuss all available options and then work with families on all aspects from site selection to memorial creation and placement,” Melissa Jacobs of AlburyCity’s Cemeteries and Crematoria said. Burial options now include hilltop monumental, granite wedge along with the standard lawn option. Cremation service is provided within the gardens, along with cremation memorial sites ranging from basic gardens through to memorial trees. Families have the option of holding services in the soon to be renovated chapel overlooking the gardens or they may choose to hold it outdoors with the lawns, trees and hills as the backdrop. With an office on site for assistance, the team also assist you in memorial design using the latest technology to create plaque visuals including colour, emblems and photos to personalise the plaque. “There is no hurry with plaque creations,”

Ms Jacobs said. “Families are encouraged to contact us when they are ready.” As Christmas sets upon us, it can be a difficult lonely time for those who have lost loved ones, which is why the team is holding a Christmas remembrance service on Wednesday, December 14, at 6.30pm in the grounds of Glenmorus.

By BLAIR THOMSON IT’S been a hectic year for Hetty Kate. The talented vocalist has spent the past 12 months touring the world, playing in Vietnam for four months, followed by stints in Hong Kong and Thailand, London and New York, and a three week tour of Europe. Now back on Australian soil, Ms Kate will perform at the Jazz Basement tonight (Friday), shortly before venturing to India to play a series of Christmas shows. Speaking to NewsWeekly ahead of a function prior to Elton John’s Rod Laver Arena show, Ms Kate said she certainly has the travel bug. “I love to travel and I’m fortunate enough to get work overseas,” she said. “When I get a chance to go overseas, I go. “It’s been a pretty good year but I guess the highlight was releasing the album in June with the band, The Irwell Street String Band, that’s coming to Albury.” Titled 11:60PM, the LP features songs made famous by Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Mildred Bailey and more. “My lead guitarist and partner in crime, Sam Lemann, helped pick some weird songs from our vinyl collection and gave them the Irwell Street treatment,” Ms Kate explained. “There’s ballads, blues and it’s western swing that’s very guitar focused, with mandolin as well.” The band’s first album, 2009’s A Late Brunch on Irwell Street, will feature heavily at the Jazz Basement. “People can expect lots of bright, fun swing songs, some that they know and some

Fun, danger, world first technology By BLAIR THOMSON THE young creators of the Flying Fruit Fly Circus’s new show promise a production never before seen on the Border. CRUNCH, which opens at the Albury Entertainment Centre next Thursday (December 15), integrates cutting edge media technology with modern forms of movement like free running and parkour, along with break dancing and high flying stunts. In what could be a first for the region, a wireless feed from video cameras on the performers’ heads will be screened during the show. “Not only will there be GoPro cameras on the kids’ heads, but it will actually be Wi-Fi equipped,” CHRUNCH director Markus Michalowski explained. “It’s technology that has just come out this year so we can actually, as the audience, see in projection what the kids can see when they’re flying through the air, live, which is exhilarating, intoxicating and sometimes sickening. “There’s only one company in America that produces the system and we have adapted that to work for our safety requirements.” The show, which was co-created by the students who are aged between 12 and 18, follows the story of a loner geek. “He sets up his lair in a back alley and hacks into an advertising screen and projects his dreams and desires and longings onto that screen,” Mr Michalowski said. “He pulls out a couple of avatars that come to life off the screen and on to the stage. “They live out his desires, his dreams and give him some impulse to change throughout the course of that story. “It’s absolutely been developed by the students, with the students, and it’s a really great reflection of where we’re at in terms of technology. “They’re digital natives and when we asked to do a scene where they each have a digital device they all pulled out iPhones or other smart phones and iPods, things like that which they pretty much all have.” The 22 students have been training 35 hours a week ahead of the show’s debut. “Most of them, especially the boys, would have done free running in their time and really enjoy that sort of thing,” Mr Michalowski said. “Some break dancers from Wicked Force came and inspired the kids and a few of the boys took part in the very first b-boy battle in Wodonga and one of the cast actually came second. “This is quite a game changer for the Fruit Flies; we’re working with

boxoffice By BLAIR THOMSON MOVIE: The Ides of March (M) DURATION: 101 minutes. UNLIKE the grubby reputation of Australian politics, the American presidential race has a certain prestige. Millions of dollars are spent crafting the images of candidates with flags and banners, and carefully scripted policies spun to the public. There’s no room for error; an ill-advised comment can quickly make global news while scores of opponents drudge through the candidate’s past looking for any misdeeds.

(MA15+)

But win the game, and you become the most powerful person on earth. At first glance, Governor Mike Morris (George Clooney) ticks all the boxes – he’s charming, charismatic, quick on his feet and inspires people with his liberal ideals and broad themes of fairness. He’s similar to Barack Obama, inspiring change in the general public with an air of being a “regular, nice guy”. Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) propels his campaign forward by working the media, edging his boss a step closer to the top office. But as the movie progresses a fuller picture of Morris and those

around him emerges – one of manipulation, dishonesty and mistrust which comes not from the individual, but the entire system. In order to gain power, you have to get down in the mud and fight. It’s a murky and brutal world where even the good guys are bad. Ryan Gosling must be an Oscar contender after brilliant performances in three movies this year and Clooney, who sits in the director’s chair, perfectly embodies the presidential candidate with a mix of charisma and intelligence while his piercing eyes give away his true nature.

With house prices lower than they were at the most recent peak a year ago, now is a sensible time for those considering buying their first home to take the step into home ownership. To assist first home buyers, the Victorian Government offers a range of grants and incentives. Established over a decade ago, the first home owners grant provides eligible buyers with $7000. While the grant is not meanstested, the home you want to buy must not cost more than $750,000; an upper limit that covers almost all purchases a first home buyer is considering. The home must, of course, be your first and you must live in it. Other eligibility criteria are available from the State Revenue Office. The state Government has also introduced a discount for first home buyers on Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very high stamp duty rates. For the next 12 months that discount is 20 per cent and it applies to homes valued up to $600,000. On a purchase of $600,000, that equates to a saving of $6214. Those interested in a new home will find they can access the first home or regional

Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria bonus along with stamp duty savings when buying off the plan. In the same way that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prudent to get pre-approval for a home loan, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensible to ensure you fully understand the eligibility criteria before you start house hunting. The REIV website has an overview of the financial assistance for first home buyers, with links to the relevant sections of the Victorian Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Revenue Office.

THE ONLY VIEW THAT MATTERS

| HOUSEANDLAND

Woolworths brand on rise ONE of Australia’s most modern supermarket concepts came to Wodonga on Wednesday with the opening of the new Woolworths store in the White Box Rise development. Under the project name of “2015 Market” the new $5million development has many features that in the future will be commonplace in all Woolies’ stores. The 3300 square metre Woolworths supermarket, which took a year to build, was opened by Cr Mark Byatt, Mayor of Wodonga and member for Indi, Sophie Mirabella. 150 locals will work at the new store on Victoria Cross Parade. Woolworths store manager, Michael Donovan, said he was pleased to be opening the new supermarket. “I’m really excited about a new concept Woolworths being part of the modern White Box Rise residential area and I look forward to the store being a valuable addition to the local community,” Mr Donovan said. He said the 2015 Market format has been in development for more than two years and has seen Woolworths adapting the best international design concepts to the demands and needs of the Australian shopper. “We have set about creating a food market which brings customers into the fresh area, inspires meal ideas, provides a wide choice of healthy options and delivers a huge range of grocery lines at great prices,” Mr Donovan said. “In the 2015 Market store the aim is to connect our customers directly with our fresh producers as

much as possible. “With approximately 97 per cent of our fresh produce sourced from Australia our 2015 Market store will highlight the wonderful seasonality of Aussie produce, our growers, their regions and the best uses for their products.” Woolworths White Box Rise includes a full working bakery baking fresh bread each morning, as well as a delicatessen, fishmonger and butcher. A Woolworths Liquor store is located adjacent to the main store. The store has a focus on wellness and healthy-living products, such as Woolworths’ own macro wholefoods market brand, that are growing across all categories. “Energy efficient lighting is used throughout the store reducing the amount of power used,” Mr Donovan said. “Meanwhile, blinds descend over the fresh produce fridges at night trapping the cold air inside.” There will be 15 checkouts available, including three express checkouts and six self serve checkouts, allowing customers to scan and pay for their shopping themselves. The 2015 Market concept will progressively be introduced as new supermarkets are opened or stores are refurbished across the Woolworths network. Woolworths White Box Rise is celebrating the new store opening with specials across all departments plus activities for shoppers and visitors to the store. The store offers convenient parking and will be open seven days a week from 7am to midnight.

Expressions of interest (EOI) are sought from suitably qualiﬁed and experienced operators to manage a café and bar at Wodonga’s new performing arts centre called The Cube Wodonga.

APPROVED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS

The Cube Wodonga is currently under construction on the same site as the former Wodonga Civic Centre in the city’s central business district. The venue will be contemporary and exciting and be available for hire as well as being the premier venue for the council’s performing arts program and various annual events, conferences, meetings and dinners. The café will operate seven days a week from 8am until a minimum of 4pm, and at other times agreed upon with the venue co-ordinator. The Cube Wodonga cafe will feature indoor seating for approximately 60 persons, plus outdoor seating (under an awning) of approximately 20 people. This is a great opportunity to service not only The Cube Wodonga patrons, but also visitors to the nearby High St (main street), Woodland Grove (park across the road), Wodonga Library, Arts Space Wodonga, Wodonga Seniors Citizens Hall and Wodonga Council offices.

Ph: 1300 666 808

EOI documents may be obtained by contacting customer service on (02) 6022 9300 or visiting the ‘Tenders’ section of the council’s website at wodonga.vic.gov.au

Joyce to pass on his knowledge to coaches INSPIRATION: Afghanistan veteran, Pte Damien Thomlinson was all smiles after his ride with Mark Winterbottom. Picture courtesy BAM Media.

Now this is what I call a hero HOW often do you hear sports fans referring to their favourite sporting star as a hero? I still recall the time our then former prime minister, Kevin Rudd labelled Jessica Watson a hero after returning from her solo around the world yachting endeavour. And Jessica put him straight denying the hero status lumped upon her. But last week motor racing stepped up to the plate, putting a real hero in the hot seat during the final round of the V8 Supercar series. As part of the event Australian Special Forces Commando, Private Damien Thomlinson joined Mark Winterbottom for a ride in his Ford Falcon race car around Sydney’s Olympic Park. Pte Thomlinson, a serving member of our armed forces had to have both his legs amputated after a Taliban explosion in Afghanistan back in 2009. Since then he has dedicated himself to raising awareness for the Commando Welfare Trust, established to support the members and families of the Special Operations Command Unit injured or killed in battle. “In battle you have to have faith in those beside you and today I put my faith in Mark to take me around the track, and I couldn’t have had anyone better,” Pte Thomlinson said of Friday’s drive. “It was truly amazing, just an unbelievable thing to have the opportunity to do. “We’re doing everything we can to raise the profile of the Commando Welfare Trust and the work we’re doing with the Commando unit. “Our guys are doing a great job and it’s a real case of Aussies helping Aussies, just the way we do.” And Winterbottom was more than pleased with his “inspirational” passenger. “Damien and all of our soldiers serving overseas are a real inspiration,” Winterbottom said. “What he’s been through and to have such a positive outlook on life is quite remarkable. “Meeting someone like Damien really puts into perspective what we do compared to the challenges he faces on a daily basis.” Pte Thomlinson said it was a great experience and opportunity to raise the profile of the work being undertaken for our fighting heroes. Of the 32 fatalities Australia has suffered in Afghanistan, 15 have been from the Special Operations Command Unit and approximately half the 200 Australian soldiers injured have represented the unit.

IN another coup for the Border, former National Basketball League head coach, Brendan Joyce has been confirmed as the guest presenter for the 12th annual Tasman Coaches Clinic to be held in January as part of the Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup at Albury. The Tasman Coaches Clinic is held each year in conjunction with the ACJBC and provides coaches from regional New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania with a quality development opportunity. With over 400 games coaching experience in the NBL Joyce is one of the most successful coaches in the country. During his illustrious career

Joyce guided the Wollongong Hawks to a championship in 2001 and the Gold Coast Blaze to their first final series in 2008 and was voted NBL Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2001. The announcement is a significant coup for country coaches according to NSW Development and Participation Manager Scott Balsar, one of the clinic organisers. “To once again have a coach of the calibre of Brendan agree to present at the clinic is exciting news and will be a significant bonus for the coaches who attend from regional Australia,” Balsar said. “Over 400 games coached in the NBL and stints as the Boomers assistant from 2001 to 2008

including two Olympic games, a World Championship and a Gold Medal at the Commonwealth Games, is confirmation Brendan is one of Australian basketball’s finest coaches and to have him agree to spend time with volunteer coaches is fantastic. “The organisers of the clinic and the directors of the ACJBC are looking forward to hosting Brendan, as no doubt the 100-plus coaches who will be attending the clinic are.” In its eleventh year, the free clinic has featured the likes of Patrick Hunt, Dean Kinsman, Gary Fox, Tab Baldwin, Rex Nottage, Shawn Dennis, Marty Clarke, Damian Cotter, Jan Stirling, Guy Molloy and Ian Stacker as present-

Summer swimming lessons provide valuable skills WITH school holidays upon us it’s timely to remember our children’s education doesn’t end at the classroom door. Swimming is a life saving skill children require and with water sports being high on the agenda throughout the summer months it’s well worth thinking about providing these skills to your most precious loved ones. “Swim & Survive” is a program offered by the Office of Communities Sport and Recreation, is based on the Royal Life Saving Soci-

ety’s national industry standard program and is taught by AUSTSWIM-qualified instructors. The program is being offered throughout regional and rural locations across NSW including Albury, Lavington, Culcairn, Holbrook, Walla, Corowa, Howlong, Jindera and Tumbarumba. Classes begin on January 3 at Lavington and other areas from January 9. Sport and Recreation project officer Paul Kelly said local affordable swimming lessons are a great

opportunity for Riverina kids to learn potentially life-saving skills. “Whether you like to spend your summers by the beach, pool or river, water safety and swimming skills are important for every Australian child,” he said. “Sport and Recreation’s Swim & Survive is an intensive program that’s ideal for the school holidays, with most classes held over eight or nine consecutive days. “Kids and parents will notice the results that come from the extra practice of a daily program.

“The classes are fun and ageappropriate, ranging from water familiarisation activities for infants through to stroke development for young kids who dream of being the next Ian Thorpe.” The costs are $45 for infant and preschool classes or $61 for school age classes, plus pool entry fees, with sibling discounts available.

Jess set to tackle endurance racing, showing ...

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never too old AT a time in life when most athletes would be thinking of slowing down Border cyclist, Jess Laws, now 37, is upping the ante. Not satisfied with her swag of medals in the Masters track cycling competition and very impressive performances at the elite level, Laws has now decided to switch her focus to endurance racing. Previously concentrating on sprinting the new format promises to throw up even more challenges. Now in only her sixth year of racing Laws said she finds the sport at the elite level extremely competitive here in Australia and enjoys the challenges she faces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really competitive,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won as much as I did

with masters but the racing for me was more challenging and the goals I set were mainly time based goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve predominantly had that focus on sprinting the whole time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been riding and even though I did do well in the last couple of months of racing I was thinking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;where am I going to go with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy with my times so I thought I might switch over and start doing some endurance work and see where we go.â&#x20AC;? Having just taken delivery of a new road bike and with just a couple of weeks of endurance training under her belt Laws is heading back to Melbourne this weekend to tackle a criterium event where she hopes to learn more of the technical side of road racing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking at competing in a team at the Bay Crit Series,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plan is, because I can sprint, if we can build up my aerobic fitness and my threshold fitness and be able to stay with the pack and work out the technical side of things then I should be a good sprinter at the finish.â&#x20AC;? Laws said it was all about learning to ride at a high intensity for a longer period of time to handle the rigours of endurance racing. She said the techniques of riding in a bunch, with gears and brakes was a completely different style than track racing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it sounds funny but you feel safer on the velodrome because no-one else has brakes,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to change gears on the velodrome when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re racing so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big difference and I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to benefit from that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the race you ride the right gears at the time then when it comes down to the sprint, because I am strong, if I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spent all my pennies I should be able to pop on a nice big ring and go for it.â&#x20AC;? In a recent trip to Melbourne Laws tackled an Elite omnium event, a series of races including a 500m time trial, a flying 200, a 5km scratch race, a 2000m pursuit and a 40 lap points race which included four sprints throughout the race, and all over a one day period. Not having trained for the event her bronze medal placing was very

impressive and gave her confidence as she set about training seriously for her endurance assault. But what motivates someone to push themselves so hard approaching 40 years of age? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have that sense of achievement,â&#x20AC;? Laws said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really lucky, my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great support, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken on new coaching staff with Bob and Helen Kelly â&#x20AC;Ś they are fantastic, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at my age, they look at my ability and potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always liked having a challenge in my life and I love cycling and riding on the road is something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to do anyway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all to do with finding something you have a passion for and then just go for it.â&#x20AC;?

Staying upright a challenge for all skippers

CHALLENGE: Sinead Stone, helped by dad Daryl, excelled in the challenging conditions and skippered her 29er, AUS1875 to several top results on Sunday on Lake Hume. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON.

MOTHER Nature showed her hand on Lake Hume on Sunday for the latest round of the Albury Wodonga Yacht Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer race series providing challenging conditions for sailors. A fleet of 13 boats faced 1m waves and consistent 8-15 knot winds across three full races. Five trailable yachts were among the competitors, revelling in the choppy conditions while the remaining eight off-thebeach boats were challenged with many capsizing throughout the events. But those who took the challenge in the lighter craft reaped the rewards and making the most of the conditions was young member, Sinead Stone aboard her 29er, AUS1875. Stone, sailing with father, Daryl, crossed the line first in heat six of the Commodore Trophy, Off-The-Beach boats Championship and Handicap races, heat five of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Third Raceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Handicap series and finished second in heat five of the Third Race Yardstick series. Donald Thomson, aboard Pure RS and Wes Ward skippering The Grey Ghost were also prominent in the results. For the trailable yachts Peter Kalin skippered Plane Sailing home ahead of Herman van Ree aboard Executive Suite.
