ALBURY TO BECOME ART HAVEN AS COUNCIL LOOK TO SPEND $100,000 A YEAR – PAGE 3

DIGGERS from the 2/23rd (Albury’s Own) Battalion were proud to show their colours last weekend to mark the 70th anniversary of the group’s formation. David Geekie and Morris Amoore were two of the 14 ex-servicemen who marched down Dean Street and shared memories over a commemorative lunch and dinner. The Last Post was also played on a bugle that was carried onto the shores of Gallipoli in 1915, to remember those comrades lost in battle and those who have passed away since. Picture: ROD HARDINGE.

Family’s chaos Dad tells of 9 months apart in fight against cancer

By PAT KOOPMAN THE Johnson family of Albury had their lives turned upside down in November of 1994. It was at that time son, Kristian, was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, when aged just 19. A very private family, they have preferred to keep their ﬁght against cancer “in house”. But dad, David, has felt compelled to tell his family’s story in the lead up to this Sunday’s mass protest rally, to be held from 10am to 11am at Gateway Island on the Lincoln Causeway.

The event will continue the push for a Border regional cancer centre. By coming forward with his family’s story, David hopes that more than 1400 people will volunteer an hour of their day to represent the 1400 people diagnosed with a life threatening cancer in the Border area each year. The fact that families are still faced with the same problems nearly 16 years on, prompted David to sit down with the NewsWeekly at his home this week. “We have kept this to ourselves for 15 years,” David explained. “We haven’t high proﬁled anything, we haven’t been involved, we’ve

tried to just keep it ‘well it happened, let’s get on and forget about it’. “But then when I read all these reports about how we’re just not getting a regional cancer centre, I just thought to myself this is really not right. “What we went through is still going on today and it’s really not fair … it’s not fair.” It was the end of November, 1994, when Kristian went to a local doctor. “The doctor said ‘well there’s something wrong here, you need to go to a specialist’,” David said. A biopsy revealed Kristian had a very rare cancer called Ewing’s Sarcoma.

The family was told the prognosis was “not good”. And Kristian needed to be in Melbourne for the extensive treatment to ﬁght the cancer. “At the time my wife had a small business that she was running,” David said. “And I’d just started working in a new business that only opened a couple of weeks before. “Our second daughter had just got married and our oldest daughter was in Wagga in university. “So you can imagine what happened … it was just chaos.” Continued page 2

By PAT KOOPMAN A STRONG and loving family network support system was crucial to Kristian Johnson’s ability to overcome the rare form of cancer that attacked his body when just 19 years of age. Diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, the bone cancer targeted his pelvis. Right beside him during his ordeal were his loving family, parents David and Barbara, and sisters Sara and Kate. “They (Sara and Kate) were part of it as well and travelled down to Melbourne as often as they could,” David told NewsWeekly this week. “Sara had been married only two months before she had to take responsibility for looking after Barbara’s business for a whole nine months and that was pretty traumatic.” Kristian said cancer affected people, whether it be either directly or indirectly.

Border fans enjoy rare ﬁlm release SUPPORT: Kristian and David Johnson back Sunday’s rally. Picture: ROD HARDINGE “It affects you, even for the long term as well,” he said. “Nine months was a really long time because I thought it might have been the end.” The support of his loving family was crucial to his ability to overcome the rare form of cancer. “They supported me all the way through it,” he said. Kristian said the sad thing was that oth-

er people may not be as fortunate. “Some people haven’t got any support at all,” he said. Kristian also encouraged as many people as possible to attend Sunday’s protest rally. Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation chairman Eric Turner’s ﬁnal word before Sunday’s mass protest rally was “be there”. “The most important thing is that the

community needs to understand that their actions will make a difference,” he said. “We had two choices … hear the decision and do nothing or hear the decision and do something. “What we need as a community is to gather together on Sunday, August 29, at Gateway Island on the Lincoln Causeway next door to the Three Monkeys at 10am until 11am.”

Dad tells of family’s time apart

From page 1 David said his wife, Barbara, said at the time: ‘Well we have to go to Melbourne, we’re going to have to relocate to Melbourne’. “So she put the business in charge of our 20-year-old daughter, packed a few bags and we went down to Melbourne to the Royal Melbourne Hospital and we saw Professor Fox,” David explained. “Prof Fox said Kristian would need to have massive doses of chemotherapy and radiation, and that all factors going well he would be ﬁne.” David and Barbara rented an apartment in east Melbourne.

They also rented furniture, appliances and had a phone connected. “My wife stayed in Melbourne and I came back home here to work,” David said. “Kristian spent nine months down in Melbourne in the Royal Melbourne Hospital. “All that time my wife spent seven days a week for the whole nine months with him and I went down every weekend. “We spent Christmas down there, Easter, every holidays we spent down there and we went through the rollercoaster ride of having Kristian medicated with all these horrible things.

Sunday

“He eventually got better and then about August 1995 they said ‘he’s ﬁne now, go back home, get back to work and go back to normal’. “But of course, that doesn’t happen and it didn’t happen to us.” David said it can take years for patients to recover. “You just don’t get over it like that,” he said. The good news is that Kristian has not looked back as far as having another cancer. “It affected him, he only works part-time because he is fatigued too much if he tries to work full time,” David said.

By BLAIR THOMSON ALBURY’S Regent Cinemas hosted the second screening of the eagerly anticipated Australian movie Summer Coda earlier this week, nearly two months before its general release. Featuring Transformers star Rachael Taylor and Alex Dimitriades, the film is Richard Gray’s first feature and has created a buzz in the industry. Speaking to NewsWeekly from the Regent Cinemas, Richard said the film had exceeded what he first envisioned. The road adventure film was shot from October to December last year in Mildura and California, five years after the script came second in Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Project Greenlight Competition. Richard said he spent six years refining the movie and was glad it was complete. “It’s like getting a jigsaw puzzle together, you get money coming in and out, actors are ready at different times and then finally you decide that you need to do it this year and set a date and go for it,” he said. “It’s only the second time in the world that it’s been screened ... we wanted to come to Albury because I know a lot about your cinema here and we wanted to test it on a regional audience.” The movie is one of 23 films from around the world showing at the Regent until Sunday, September 5, as part of this year’s International Film Festival.

City to become art haven

By BLAIR THOMSON ALBURY is set to flourish with public art. Albury Council is looking to spend at least $1.3 million on public art, monuments and memorials over the next decade under a new urban and public art strategy. The strategy includes commissioning a large scale work of international standard every three years. The draft strategy commits one per cent of the council’s capital works budget to creating and maintaining the art each year, and is the first time a budget has been planned for such work. Mayor Alice Glachan said

the city would benefit from the new strategy. “We don’t have a lot of public art in Albury … I suppose you could say some of our public art could be older buildings, like the old courthouse, Burrows House, the old council chambers … but other than that we don’t have any statues like you see in the capital cities,” she said. “Everyone knows that when you go to the capital cities you often see sculptures and fountains and creative spaces put in by either the government or developers. “The strategy is trying to create opportunities for public art to exist.” The Lavington Library

Volt Land plans to be explained

site, QEII Square, Table Top and Thurgoona have been suggested as places for temporary and permanent art works. Albury currently has only nine pieces of public art, and 51 monuments and 56 heritage sites. Sculptures made from a range of materials, including glass, stone, steel, grass and string, could be created. AlburyCity cultural development co-ordinator, Vanessa Keenan, said the funding would be a significant boost to art in Albury. “It’s a substantial amount that’s building on the existing collection … we’re in a position to plan and develop large

scale works that we haven’t been able to previously,” she said. She added that there has been a positive response to the scheme from the community. “So far the public have been very supportive and people are recognising the role that public art can play,” she said. “Most people are familiar with public art in other centres both good and bad, and are very keen to see something happen. “I’d encourage people to have a look at the strategy and make a submission and we welcome all their feedback.”

Study shows platypus numbers are still strong By BLAIR THOMSON EARLY results from a Murray River platypus study in Albury are looking positive. While Australian Platypus Conservancy conservation biologists Geoff Williams and Melody Serena are cautious not to read too much into their initial findings, the mammals have been sighted at locations thought no longer to contain them. “There are platypus at most of the locations we are checking out,” Mr Williams explained.

ALBURY Council will hold an information session for the general public on the Volt Lane development. The public meeting will be held at 6pm on Monday, September 6 in the Robert Brown Room at the council offices. The meeting will be attended by Canberra-based developer, David Harper, whose company Volt Lane Pty Ltd is undertaking the redevelopment. Mr Harper will present details on the timing of various construction phases. He will also show detailed plans of the proposed offices, retail outlets, cafes, restaurants and public carparking. Director, Planning and Environment, Michael Keys says the Volt Lane development represents the single biggest development in Albury since the freeway.

“The good news is the platypus are more widespread, particularly in the town section of the river, than previously thought. “People initially said they used to see them around the swimming pool area years ago but they’ve all gone, but that’s simply not true. “The platypus are still here, they are still a very important component of the river.” Anyone wanting to help with the study should call 03 5157 5568.

SPERM DONORS URGENTLY REQUIRED For many women the only hope of having a child is by donor insemination. However, there is a drastic shortage of sperm donors in Australia and we are facing the prospect of being unable to offer treatment to many women.

Make our view clear who have been directly and indirectly affected by this insidious disease. People such as Marianne Warren, John Dobson and Kristian Johnson are representative of the 1400 people who are diagnosed each year in the Border catchment area alone with a life threatening cancer diagnosis. They have bravely tackled their respective cancer ﬁghts head-on with the support of a loving family and friends. They have also bravely been prepared to go publicly with their stories in an effort to humanise the impact of the Federal Government’s decision in April. This Sunday has been described as the “most signiﬁcant” hour we could spend in our lives. Collectively we can make a difference. It is up to everyone of us to make a stand for those cancer sufferers of today and those of tomorrow. Make no mistake about it, cancer will continue to strike. It doesn’t discriminate. Together we need to stand as one!

GOT an hour to spare this Sunday? Do you believe you can make a difference individually and more importantly collectively? Do you believe the Border has been unfairly treated by being overlooked for a $65 million regional cancer centre? If you have answered yes to these three questions, then your presence is needed this Sunday at Gateway Island on the Lincoln Causeway between 10am and 11am. Organisers are hoping to attract at least 1400 people to a mass protest rally so that “people power” can be seen and heard loud and clear. The nation spoke collectively last weekend when voters went to the polls. Now it’s the turn of the wider Border community to have their say and express their disappointment in the decision by the Federal Government back in April to overlook this region for a regional cancer centre. In the lead up to Sunday’s protest rally this paper has highlighted the need for such a centre through the very people

If it’s the

Opinion Pollies’ corner

Informal vote is far too high WITH just over 80 per cent of the vote counted in the seat of Farrer, one thing is very clear; the informal vote is at a record high. So far 5237 votes cast were informal. This means they were either deliberately spoiled or they weren’t able to be counted even though the person wanted to cast a valid vote. The preferential system of voting applies for both State and Federal elections in NSW with one important difference. State elections have optional preferential voting which means you can choose to number just one square on the ballot paper or you can choose to number some squares or all squares. In federal elections you must place a number in every square. If you do number just one square your vote will not count and your ballot will be invalid. It was disappointing to hear from those who assisted me by scrutineering (ie watching and checking) the count of the vote last Saturday night, that there were quite a few votes where the person just voted 1. Their intention was clear but their vote did not count. It was even more disappointing to hear of the numbers of blank ballot papers, ballot papers with crosses instead of numbers and ballot papers with a line drawn through the list of names.

Sussan Ley Federal Member for Farrer There is little doubt that, across the country, many were inﬂuenced by former Labor leader Mark Latham’s suggestion on the 60 Minutes program that we should vote informal as some sort of protest against the current political system. The informal vote in parts of Western Sydney was as high as 10 to 14 per cent and that is clearly a response to Mr Latham. In this electorate the percentage of informal votes was 6.84 per cent, over 3 per cent higher than it was last time. This trend is alarming. It is compulsory to turn up to vote but it is not compulsory to cast a valid vote. It is not against the law to vote informally. There is a vigorous debate about whether we should move to the British and American systems where voting is not compulsory. The low voter turnout at the

1922 election (59 per cent) led to the Parliament legislating to make the system compulsory by 1925. I am a strong supporter of compulsory voting and whenever I talk to groups of students I impress upon them the need to think carefully about their vote and make it count. Many of the young people I spoke to while handing out Liberal ‘how to vote’ papers at the Albury booths last Saturday told me they had made up their mind to vote informally. In some cases I believe they weren’t really sure of what to do and an informal vote seemed the easiest option. In the state of NSW it would certainly help if both state and federal parliaments had the same system so as to minimise confusion at the ballot box. There is also a need for parents, schools and universities to do more to explain our system of voting and why it is really important that we all do participate in this great democratic process. Finally, due recognition must go to the Australian Electoral Commission. Our AEC leads the world in terms of accountability, efﬁciency, independence and sheer dedication. We should be very proud of the system and its people!

Psychic Network, why do they need a phone number? ~ Robin Williams

A voter’s right to opt out THERE appears to be a lot of angst about the number of people who lodged an informal vote at this year’s election. And some of those upset at the situation are even giving credit to Mark Latham for persuading people to vote informally – come on now! What about the possibility that voters couldn’t ﬁnd a person they really believed was worthy of their vote? The number of informal lower house votes in this part of Australia meant nothing to the result. It would be interesting to see whether there were as many informal votes cast in the Senate. There, at least a vote has a chance of making a difference. Could it also be the informal vote is something of a protest at us being forced to vote whether we have any interest in the outcome or not.

My problem with compulsory voting is that those who push it tell us it is our right to vote. Then they say we have to be forced to exercise that right. If it is my right to vote, then it is most certainly my right not to cast a vote. And if I have to turn up at the polling booth and I think none of the candidates is not worthy of my vote then it is certainly my right to say so. Don’t get me wrong. I would walk over hot coals to ensure I cast a vote. But let’s face it, there are plenty in our community who have no interest in the political process and they make this clear at the ballot box. We should accept this as a fact of life and get over it. After all they are exercising their choice in the matter. GEOFF WILLIAMS Wodonga

LAST year I held an inaugural local walk in support of Parkinson’s Disease and am planning to hold the walk again this year on September 12. I would like everyone to consider supporting this cause, as it affects so many of our loved ones in the community and receives very little publicity or funding. My mum, who passed away last year, was an intelligent busy woman and “Parkies” devastated her life and that of the family. In memory of her, I want to

do what I can to help raise awareness of and funds for Parkinson’s Disease research and ultimately a cure. The walk will be in support of the Parkinson’s Unity Walk held in Capital Cities and starts at 11am at Hovell Tree Park, Albury, followed by a sausage sizzle. All welcome and free entry to Parkies sufferers and carers.

Councillor suggests bill reductions as a way to help improve his city

New rates thinking urged By KEN DYASON WODONGA residents have been urged to consider radical proposals including rate reductions for owners of heritage properties and rate relief for businesses to encourage them to improve their properties. Cr Rodney Wangman, who has chaired a committee looking at the city’s rating structure, said such ideas could help with the future development of the city. The committee’s draft rating strategy will go on public display in September. The council will hold community information sessions on September 7 and 8 and ratepayers will have until October 1 to comment.

Cr Wangman said the consultation period was the time for the city to take a close look at how it levies rates. “The last time the city looked at this issues was probably in the 90s when the commissioners were in control,” Cr Wangman said. Under the recommendations the committee has suggested a $100 municipal charge for all properties, a slight increase in farm and commercial and business rates and a reduction in the rate levied on land waiting to be developed. “The important thing is that we have not recommended any change in the total rate charge, of $23,110,821,” Cr Wangman said.

“The total pie will stay the same but there will be slight changes in how much each section pays. “With the municipal charge some home owners will pay slightly more, but many will pay less.” Cr Wangman said it was time for the city to look to the future. “With the major redevelopment planned for the central business district there is going to be pressure on many businesses to improve their property facades,” he said. “Should we then consider rate relief or exemptions for these businesses to help them improve our city? “The same applies to those with heritage-listed properties.

“If we expect these people to meet the costs involved in complying with heritage laws to preserve their properties, should we consider giving them some relief on their rates?” Cr Wangman said such relief need not be a huge amount but just a small percentage reduction to acknowledge the extra costs they face meeting conditions imposed by the community. The times for the community meetings are: Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 6pm in the council chamber, on level two in the Hovell St office; and Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at noon also in the council chamber.

The draft strategy will also be available on the council’s website at www.wodonga.vic.gov.au under Latest News and a hard copy will be available to read at the Wodonga Library, the Baranduda Community Centre, the Felltimber Community Centre and at the council’s customer service desk. Written submissions should be addressed to rating strategy review submission, Wodonga Council, PO Box 923, Wodonga, or emailed to info@wodonga.vic.gov.au Submissions close on October 1, at 5pm and those who wish to be heard in person will be invited to a meeting on October 4, at 6pm at the council offices.

Design tender let for White Box Rise pool WODONGA council has awarded a contract for the design of the city’s new aquatice centre. Williams Ross Architects have been appointed to prepare the final design and contract.

Designs are expected to be presented to the council by the end of this year, allowing construction tenders to be called next year. It is hoped this will allow the centre to be open in time for the 2012-2013 season.

In the meantime the existing Stanley Street pool will continue to operate as the city’s pool. It is planned the pool will open on October 1 with the season running until the end of march.

HELP: Wodonga Girl Guides Kirsten Roth, Freya Saunders and Annie Francis with leader Kylie Bray.

Guides looking for leaders By PAT KOOPMAN WODONGA Girl Guides are in desperate need of leaders. Wodonga only has a senior and junior unit based at the Jamieson Court Hall. “We’ve had to merge juniors and seniors because we only have one Guide leader,” committee secretary Rachel Saunders told NewsWeekly. “The position of leader is a voluntary one. “At the moment we desperately need some volunteers to come and help the girls because we have a waiting list of girls. “Currently we’re having

to leave them on the waiting list because we can’t bring them in while we’re a merged group.” Ms Saunders described the merger of the two groups as the best solution at this time. “Ideally because the age range is now from seven to 16 … ideally the girls would be in their junior ages, which is seven to 10 and then 11 to 16,” she said. Ms Saunders said there was a time commitment involved in being a leader, but it was not an overbearing one. “It’s someone who is prepared to get in and help the girls learn new skills,

develop friendships, develop confidence, things like that … that’s the main goals of Guiding,” she said. Ms Saunders said leader Kylie Bray was doing an “absolutely fantastic” job. Ms Bray is in her first year as a leader after having joined Girl Guides this year as an adult. “I really enjoying working with the girls,” she said. Ms Bray said Guides provide new leaders with the necessary training. She encouraged females, aged 18 and over, to take on the role. Those interested can contact district leader Brenda Roberts on 6056 0250.

Proceeds of Granya drug run saving lives

By BLAIR THOMSON BRENDAN Coleman credits the Granya House rehabilitation program with saving his life. His world collapsed about six months ago under a cloud of marijuana and amphetamine abuse, costing him his wife, kids and job. But now, thanks to Granya, he has a positive outlook on life and is looking forward to the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It saved my life, it really has,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came here, I had no hope and no future, and this has given me hope and a future and made me a good father to my kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was living day to day with a drug habit and spending all my money on drugs and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mentally, physically or emotionally stable â&#x20AC;Ś I was a mess.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be a good father to my kids and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually going to go somewhere in life.â&#x20AC;? Located about 30km from Bellbridge, Granya House is a not-for-profit live-in centre currently treating 19 men for substance abuse problems. The youngest resident is aged just 16, while the oldest is 49, with the men coming from a wide variety of backgrounds and jobs. While a portion of the attendeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Centrelink payments and funds from Faith City help run Granya House, its director Anne Newton said events like this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Run are required to keep the facility going.

ARTS: Kristie Young will be sharing her views of Border cultural activities.

Putting focus on arts scene

TRAINING: Scott Jacobsen, Brendan Coleman and Grant Carpenter get some practice ahead of this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Granya House Drug Run in Albury Wodonga. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an annual fundraiser and it enables us to run Granya House, because we get no government funding,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the fundraising, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to run Granya House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This facility was a pub built back in the 1920s, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of things that need fixing and replacing.â&#x20AC;? Organisers hope to raise at least $90,000 this weekend to help run the unique rehab clinic. Most of the staff and patients at Granya

are involved in the event, and the community has shown strong support with 160 runners, 90 tin rattlers and 60 marshals signed up earlier this week. The 24 hour run starts at noon today (Friday, August 27) with participants running in stages between QEII Square, the Three Monkeys Tavern on the Lincoln Causeway and the Wodonga water tower. Ms Newton said those being treated at the centre were more than happy to get the exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love to be involved because they know that the whole weekend is about them and about people that are committed in the community to helping them get their lives back together, and they really appreciate that,â&#x20AC;? she said.

WHEN Kristie Young thinks about cultural and arts events her focus has generally been on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on in Melbourne. But the Albury occupational therapist is taking a closer look at the Border scene as part of a program being run by Albury and Wodonga councils. They are looking for volunteers to attend nominated events and then share their views on what they have seen. The councils are seeking more people to join Kristie in the program. They will be asked to attend six events between September and December and then pass on their views of the event. This information will help both councils gain more information to determine and shape their future cultural programs. Ms Young said the events she would be attending had already given her an appreciation of just what is available in Albury Wodonga. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will be a valuable experience and hopefully it will help encourage more locals to attend these events,â&#x20AC;? she said. Anyone wishing to join the program can call Vanessa (AlburyCity) on 6023 8753 or Chelsea (City of Wodonga) on 6022 9223 by next Wednesday.

Police gearing up for a busy time as winter lull gives way to spring revival

Working together to prevent crime HELLO everyone, I have returned after a short time away. Thanks to Insp Tony Moodie who has been doing these articles in my absence. The drenching that our area has been receiving and will continue to receive may contribute in some small way to the very good crime figures that we have achieved over the past few months, although this is fairly representative of the winter months. Last week local police apprehended two young men responsible for graffiti in and around East Street and the railway station. This type of malicious damage continues to occur but the incidences reported to police have dropped substantially since

ous intake of alcohol and often, the subsequent anti-social and violent behaviour by team players, supporters and spectators. As the weather warms up and more people enjoy the outdoors, we will be among you. This spring and summer more police will be patrolling with all operational police now being trained and issued with taser guns. State-wide proactive traffic operations will get into full swing in the September/October school holidays, and high visibility policing will continue to be a focus. There has been an ongoing collaborative approach between the police, late night traders, and the Liquor Accord to address alcohol related crime, and there is the ex-

inspector LYNELLE RODWELL the same time last year. It’s also pleasing to see the quick and swift response by business owners and members of the community to remove the ugly scribbles. With only a week of winter remaining, we are gearing up in preparation for the increase in activity that spring delivers. Typically at this time, we brace for the onslaught of end-of-season footy trips which involves a copi-

For many, drinking is an acceptable and enjoyable part of life. Gunnedah in northern NSW recently had a significant success with a 23 per cent reduction in alcohol-related assaults between July 2009 and February 2010, when licensees voluntarily served only mid-strength alcohol after midnight. This trial came about after concerns were raised about intoxicated people and their anti-social behaviour in and around licensed premises after midnight. There are a multitude of strategies around to address alcohol related crime in an effort to reduce drunk and disorderly incidents. We must ALL work together to achieve results in this area.

pectation that individuals will take responsibility for their own behaviour. It is a fact, that many of the people involved in violence or anti-social behaviour often consume a prohibited drug or too much alcohol at home before entering public places. There is an expectation that individuals, their families and friends will take some responsibility for this in a combined effort with businesses and your local police to reduce the violence in our streets. Any strategies we implement to address harmful alcohol consumption must acknowledge the role that alcohol plays in people’s lives.

New tune brings field days into modern era

By BLAIR THOMSON THE old Henty Machinery Field Days theme song was a simple tune with simple lyrics, but it had a habit of getting stuck in people’s heads in the 20-plus years it was used Lavington based musician Paul Gibbs, creator of the new Henty theme tune, believes he has created a modern song for this year’s event, to be held in September. “I’ve written the theme song to really bring the Henty Field Days into the new millennium,” he told NewsWeekly from his home studio. “I’ve tried to include some lyrical content about the new farming technologies and moving forward with the times, but also tried to keep the tradition that’s been established with Henty already. “I really had to come up with something new from the ground up ... the old one was really well established in people’s minds, so I had to make something catchy and identifiable with the field days, so there was a fair amount of pressure on.” It took the musician, who works at the Murray Conservatorium and is the musical director of the Albury Carols by Candlelight, several weeks to create the new song. “I sent demos to the field day committee over several weeks,” he said. “I’m very happy and believe the field day committee is very happy with it, and I guess time

will tell how the public responds to it.” “I had to do some research into farming and farming technology, and I really wanted to give it a real down to earth feel so that rural people can relate to it.” He also understands that many people will prefer the old song, which can no longer be used to promote the event after a falling out between the field days management and the song’s copyright holder. “I think when you’ve had the same thing for years and years, any time you bring in something new it’s going to cop a certain amount of resistance, but I believe by the end of this year the old one will be out of people’s heads and we’ll move on and and it’ll be forgotten about,” Mr Gibbs said. He plans to attend the event this year and has positive memories of his previous visits. “I’ll be going back there this year for sure,” he said. “I went there a couple of times in high school back in the early 80s, and I remember what a huge event it was then ... it was a real iconic event and it’s just grown to be enormous. “It was real eye-opener for me to see what sort of machinery was available. “I’m thrilled and honoured to be given the chance to write such a song.” The Henty Machinery Field Days will be held from September 21 to 23.

Bush comes alive with exhibition ARTIST Ken Raff has lived in the North East for the past 31 years and has taught art in secondary schools and tertiary institutes on the Border while maintaining his professional practice as an artist. Ken is probably best known for his public sculptures which include Porta, the three coloured spheres on the Lincoln Causeway, The River located outside the Regional Art Gallery and the Bonegilla sculptures completed in collaboration with fellow artist Steve Anderson. Each year Ken drives inland to remote locations and sets up camp with the aim of immersing himself in the landscape. When painting on location keen observation and an eye for detail is called for. His latest exhibition “Conversations With Landscape” references the feelings and thoughts he has when experiencing at first hand the ancient rugged rock formations, red dirt, Spinifex, trees, wildlife and characteristic dry river beds. Ken said that when he is standing alone gazing at the far horizon with not a sole in sight, he is keenly aware of his own fragility, the brevity of his mortality and of his not being at the centre of everything as can be the delusion of urban living. Conversations With Landscape is an exhibition which for the first time includes watercolour and gouache paintings, together with studio works completed upon his return from trips over the past two years. The colours in his works are vibrant and reflect the richness and diversity of the land. The exhibition officially opens on Friday, September 3, at 5.30pm at the GIGS Fine Art Gallery at Gateway Arts Village on the Lincoln Causeway and runs throughout September. The gallery is open from 10am-4pm, Tuesday to Sunday, each week. Entry is free.

Giving disabled a simple pleasure

“I have two sons, one with an intellectual disability and poor balance, which prevents him from using the usual swings at playgrounds,” she said. “He requires a fully supported swing similar to a chair. “There are also many children in the community who are physically disabled and I have also been approached by a woman who told me her elderly mother, also conﬁned to a wheelchair, would enjoy the joy and freedom of using the Liberty Swing. “These swings provide community inclusion so everyone can use our city’s facilities.” the

Bill Tilley

The Liberty Swing complies with the relevant Australian safety standards, and is simple to use. It is an enclosed apparatus that enables a wheelchair to be placed inside it and then swing from its frame. The Liberty Swing is also ﬁtted with a pop-up chair to cater for those with limited mobility. Wodonga Council’s team leader for neighbourhood projects Tracey Farrant has been assisting Ms Perry in obtaining funding, and donations of goods and services. To make a donation, or to help in any way, please contact Tracey Farrant on 6022 9347.

PLANS for new saleyards at Barnawartha will soon be put on public display by Wodonga Council. A planning application for the $23 million development has now been submitted to the council. Regional Infrastructure Pty Limited in conjunction with Palisade Investment Partners is planning to develop what it terms as a “state-of-the-art saleyard facility” at the Barnawartha site. The 103ha site is adjacent to the Logic Centre on the Murray Valley Highway, bounded by Mildrens Road and Margerys Road. As part of the planning process it has lodged a works approval application to the Environment Protection Authority (EPA); a water determination and catchment assessment application with Goulburn Murray Water; and a by-law application for drainage approval (within the Black Dog Creek Improvement District) to the North East Catchment Management Authority has also been lodged. Wodonga council will advertise the development for public comment once it has ﬁnished its examination of the plans. Palisade Investment Partners says the development will provide substantial beneﬁts to the community. These include improved livestock handling, management and welfare and improvements in OH&S for operators, agents and livestock transporters; Palisade acquired the Wodonga Saleyard Business from City of Wodonga in December 2008. Palisade leases the current sale yard site at Bandiana and Regional Infrastructure operates and manages the business. The CEO of Regional Infrastructure Andrew McCarron said there had been many technical assessments undertaken in assessing the proposed facility and to support the feasibility for development.

SWING: Cate Perry and her son, Alexander, at the site in the Belvoir playground where the new swing is planned to be constructed.

A BORDER transport company has been recognised for its approach to worker safety. Border Express is a finalist in the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission annual safety awards. In its 10th year, the awards recognise and reward excellence in work health and safety, rehabilitation for return-to-work achieved within the Comcare scheme. Border Express was granted a self-insurance licence in January 2008 for its 750 employees across Australia. The company is a finalist in a section recognising an individual, in this case Jacinta Macaulay, the senior welfare officer in rehabilitation and return to work. She said the nomination was a reflection on the focus of Border Express in assisting injured workers. Winners of the national awards will be announced at a presentation event in the Great Hall of Parliament House in Canberra on September 23.

DEVELOPMENT: The plan for the new saleyards at North Barnawartha.

By KEN DYASON THE simple pleasure of a swing is something most children love. And yet there are some who are denied this activity because of a disability. But plans for an addition to the equipment at the new Wodonga Belvoir Park playground could could soon mean disabled youngsters, including anyone conﬁned to wheelchairs, are able to enjoy this activity. Wodonga Council is investigating the possibility of installing a Liberty Swing at the playground. The swings come at quite a price, $24,000 plus installation, and the council is seeking donations to help defray the cost. Already the Variety Club of Australia has offered to match community contributions towards the cost. The Wodonga West Rotary Club has committed to constructing the swing. But donations towards the cash cost, plus assistance with preparing the site and fencing it plus a sail shade, are needed to make the proposal a reality. Many Victorian councils including Bendigo, Shepparton, Colac, Mildura and Traralgon have the swings in community parks. Cate Perry is the community champion behind the project. Ms Perry, realised after visiting the new Belvoir playground that it did not cater for children with a disability.

Apprentice bonus extended

KICKSTART: Melanie Howell promotes the Apprentice Kickstart Bonus. Picture: PAT KOOPMAN

By PAT KOOPMAN THE Federally funded Kickstart program has been extended until November 12, 2010. The Apprentice Kickstart Bonus applies to businesses who employ an eligible apprentice between May 12, 2010, and November 12, 2010. Employers can now access up to $8350 in Federal funding for employing an apprentice between 15 and 19 years of age. Field manager with employment services provider ATEL AUSNAC, Melanie Howell, spoke to NewsWeekly about the positives of the program’s incentives. “It encourages employers to go the next step and actually employ a person because sometimes they’re a little unsure whether or not to employ that person,” she said. “But giving them an extra financial incentive sort of pulls them over the line.”

Employers can “kickstart” their business with the Apprentice Kickstart Bonus of $3350, which is additional to the existing incentives of $5000. Ms Howell described it as a “winwin” situation for all involved. “It’s nice to see a young person getting a job,” she said. “That’s what it’s all about, getting people in the workforce and giving them a trade qualification. “We’ve got hairdressing, plumbers, electricians ... there’s even things like engineering, tool makers and tree surgeons, as well as chefs. “Employers have actually put on apprentice builders, electricians, plumbers, and landscaping as well. “We’ve had a lot of people take it on, which is good.” In her time with the employment service provider, Ms Howell has seen apprentices go full cycle. “I’ve been here for eight years and

a lot of them have gone through their apprenticeship and now they’re an employer they’re actually employing someone,” she said. “I think that’s a nice thing that they’ve actually set up their own business after they’ve done their trade and then they actually get to employ somebody as well.” Employers can contact Ms Howell at the ATEL AUSNAC office at 2 Michael Drive, Wodonga, or phone 6024 0800. “They just need to contact the local apprenticeship centre, which we are,” she said. “We actually do all the paperwork for them on behalf of the government, so we make it as easy as possible and simple. “It’s all streamlined, we look after all that worry about the paperwork and for them to get those financial incentives.” Ms Howell said the response to the Kickstart program had been “fantastic”.

Mrs Lappin said the family had “basically slowly grown the business” since it purchased the Albury shop. “We work on the motto ‘service is everything in our business’ so we’re here for customer service and we’re here to service our customers,” she said.

Picture: BLAIR THOMSON ple coming up from Melbourne, Canberra, Wagga and I’m pretty sure there are people from Sydney,” Mr Baldock said. “I’d be a bit disappointed if we got less than 300 … I’d love to get up to 1000 but it all depends on the weather and how the day goes. “Making any money out of it isn’t the major pri-

ority, it’s about getting out there and promoting the sport.” He added that there was the possibility of the expo being run every two years. “I don’t think we could do an annual event, but we might look at making it a bi-annual event,” Mr Baldock said “It’s a brilliant area

for fly fishing, you’ve got to travel a little bit most of the time, but catching a fish is a bonus. “When you get up to the Alpine areas, the scenery and the ambience of the area is just fantastic.” The Greenwells Fly Fishing Club Fly Fishing Expo runs from 9am to 4pm at Greenfield Park on Sunday, August 29.

By PAT KOOPMAN IT’S been a big fortnight for Dick and Michelle Lappin, and their daughters Kazja and Denika. In that time the family has opened Poolside Wodonga to complement their Poolside Albury shop. Then, last weekend, at the Just Spas National Conference in the Hunter Valley, they claimed three awards. They returned home with the 2010 Top Sales, Customer Service Excellence and Most Innovative Marketing Campaign awards. Mr and Mrs Lappin have owned Poolside Albury since 2006. The success of this shop led them to expand their operations and open Poolside Wodonga, at 2/155 Melbourne Road, on August 16. “Basically we needed to expand our range of spas that we offered, so we needed to provide more spas for customers,”

By BLAIR THOMSON HUNDREDS of Border anglers are expected to attend an expo in Albury that will highlight the latest in fly fishing innovations and technology. The event will be held at Greenfield Park this Sunday, August 29, and will feature several competitions with prizes, demonstrations from respected fly fishing experts, trade displays and boat displays. Greenwells Fly Fishing Club vice president, Jeff Baldock, said he believed the expo was unique. “My understanding is it’s the first of its kind for a regional area, they’ve had these events in the city, but never in a regional area before, so we just thought we’d have a go,” he said. “It’s meant to be all up to date fly equipment ... in regional areas we don’t get the opportunity to get access to the up-to-date equipment like fly rods, reels and lines, and you have to go through the internet to get it. “But this way you can actually try it before you buy it and get good access to it.” Several exhibitors and fly fishing enthusiasts will travel long distances for the event. “There’s definitely peo-

The super rules: THE following very strict conditions of release rules spell out precisely when you can gain access to your super. If you are aged 55–59, you must have retired from gainful employment or have no intention of being gainfully employed again. In some cases, you will have to sign a statutory declaration to that effect. Declaring permanent retirement does not restrict you from returning to the workforce at a later stage. However, avoid declaring retirement, cashing in on super and then returning to employment in the same week. This will not be viewed kindly by the Australian Taxation Ofﬁce! If you are aged 60–64 and

leave gainful employment, there are no cashing restrictions on accumulated super when you cease employment. If you return to employment while still in this age group and make further contributions to super, the resulting super is “preserved” until you stop work or turn 65. Note: Those who are aged 60– 64 and self-employed may find it difficult to satisfy a condition of release prior to reaching 65. This is because they usually have no intention of later commencing other employment or terminating their business until they actually retire. People aged 65 or more can withdraw benefits at any time, regardless of employment.

Strict rules for taking your cash THE introduction of tax-free superannuation benefits for people aged over 60 and transition to retirement income streams for those aged over 55 has added to the level of confusion about when and how much superannuants can access from their accumulated super. In some circumstances it has resulted in people drawing on their super prematurely or drawing more than they are legally entitled to. In a nutshell, the implementation of tax free benefits means that if you are aged over 60 and are drawing a super pension, you no longer have to declare these withdrawals in your personal taxation return. The TRIS provisions mean that if you are aged 55 plus, you are entitled to draw a maximum of 10 per cent of your balance each year as an income stream. Unfortunately, it seems many erroneously believe that these changes have given those aged between 55 and 65 the green light to withdraw whatever they want from their super, irrespective of their circumstances. To add to the confusion, some superannuants are also under the misapprehension that they can borrow from their super. This tends to happen with people buying a home before finalising the sale of their existing home. They find they have a shortfall and decide to take from their super with the intention of paying it back later.

The thinking is: the money’s mine, so why the heck not? But this thinking is very wrong. You cannot borrow from your superannuation fund. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the majority of confusion around access arises among people who are members of self managed super funds (SMSFs), rather than those who are members of public offer or managed funds. If you run your own SMSF, now could be the time to bone up on the conditions of release rules, because the penalties for illegally accessing super are severe. They can include: • Prosecution of trustees for contravening the super law • Your SMSF being made non-complying, which has serious taxation consequences: the tax rate could be increased from 15 per cent to 46.5 per cent • Your disqualiﬁcation from being a trustee of a superannuation fund, with you having to transfer your entitlements to another fund or appoint a professional trustee: either outcome could be expensive • Taxing beneﬁciaries at their marginal rate for the amount withdrawn: this can push people into a higher tax bracket, possibly up to 46.5 per cent • Preventing the superannuation fund from operating, including freezing its bank account.

Warning of scam danger THE Australian Tax Office warns about people who offer to help withdraw super savings early. It says that some people promoting illegal super schemes will tell you that they can help you access your super savings now for reasons like paying off credit card debt, buying a house or car, or even going on holiday. These schemes are illegal. They will cost you a lot more than you expect and get you into a lot of trouble. Illegal schemes usually involve a promoter offering to help you access your super early. The tax office says that those taking part in such schemes risk becoming a victim of identity theft. The tax office says that anyone who has been approached by someone telling them they can access your super early should: • Stop any involvement with the scheme, organisation or the person who approached you • Do not sign any documents • Do not provide them with any of your personal details • Urgently phone the information line on 13 10 20 and advise the tax man of your situation.

HELPING: Milica Bukvic, Mary Smithenbecker and Nancy Robinson with some of the jumpers knitted for disadvantaged young Australians. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON

‘Angels’ help disadvantaged By BLAIR THOMSON AN army of special ladies are helping young children across the nation keep warm. Since customers of the Guardian Pharmacy in Wodonga started knitting jumpers for the disadvantaged about ﬁve years ago, dozens of boxes containing the garments have been distributed, according to pharmacy assistant Maureen Fleming. “We’ve sent boxes and boxes of the clothes to our headquarters and they’ll be given to the underprivileged through the Salvation Army,” she said.

“We’ve got about 70 or more ladies here that have knitted garments and we get a lot of donations from other groups. “They’re mostly old ladies and I hope it continues into the next generation.” Last year’s jumpers were sent to areas affected by Black Saturday, and Ms Fleming said it was good to see such a positive response from the knitters. “It’s just amazing … they buy the wool, spend their time knitting and then give it all away,” she said.

“It just warms your heart to see they’re so open to doing this for people that they’ll never meet, or see where the clothes go to. “They’re all quite happy to do this for other people, which is quite impressive.” Guardian has run the Guardian Angel Knitting Program Australia-wide for more than a decade, with more than 100,000 garments handed out to the needy last year. A morning tea to thank local knitters was held at the High Street Pharmacy this week.

My Own

TWO FEET WITH

ROBYN FLEMMING

OVE was definitely in the mountain air when I spent six days recently in the Piedmont region in Italy, on the border with France. I fell in love with the city of Turin, where my good friend, Giorgio, a true gentleman of Torino and a fellow member of the Dead

Runners Society, took me on a 15-kilometre early-morning run to see sights that date back to Roman times. After crossing a bridge on the River Po that had been built by Napoleon, we climbed up to a vantage point from where we could see the city laid out beneath us. Back at the foot of the hill, we had a drink from a centuries-old waterspout of a type that one commonly sees in Italy. We then ran through some landscaped gardens beside the river. Giorgio’s family has been here for generations, and he shared with me stories he was reminded of by places along our route.

I also fell in love with the winter ski resort village of Cesana, very near the French border and an hour’s drive from Turin, where my home for four nights was a charming small hotel, La Ginestra, on a cobbled street beside a snowmelt stream. Everywhere, the flower boxes were in vibrant bloom in this last month of the northern summer. On a couple of early mornings I saw a uniformed equivalent of our Park and Recreation friends inspecting the flower boxes that lined the bridge next to La Ginestra and tossing into the turquoise-coloured stream any flower head that was past its prime. I fell in love with the Italian/French Alps,

where, over two days, Giorgio and I hiked about 50 kilometres, to the top of two of his favourite peaks. And I fell in love with the sound of Italian being spoken by everyone around me. How could one not grow up to be socially gracious when some of the most beautiful words in any language are the Italian words for ‘please’ and ‘thank you’? The mountains in the Piedmont region attract visitors from Italy and France both for the winter skiing and the summer hiking and mountain biking. Continued page 21 466589-KC25-10

Pinot Noir - The Winelovers PERSPECTIVE WITH

PAUL MUNTZ

VER the past 40 years I have put many different types of grapes through the kidneys – some varieties have given me great pleasure but many have not lived up to expectations. But no grape has ever been as stubborn, ambiguous and just plain ‘ornery than Pinot Noir. In a previous article I called it “the elusive mistress” for the reason that the grape has this strange and mystical personality – occasionally giving incomparable wine pleasures (just often enough to keep your interest up …) but often bitter disappointment as it fails to deliver. And nowhere is the grape more unpredictable than from France, where the price you pay for a bottle gives absolutely no indication of what will come out the other end. I have seen grown men on the verge of tears as they open their precious bottle of Premier Cru Burgundy, long held and with the expectation of the celestial choir ready to rip, only to be greeted with a dull and only marginally interesting result. On the other hand, when the mistress is “firing”, there is no greater wine in the world.

of grapes

My scoreboard? From France, many 5 out of 10 (or below) results but still just enough 9.9’s to keep my interest and enthusiasm going (not to mention the flow of bucks to pursue this vinous “Holy Grail”).

A difficult child Some wonder why the results are so variable with Burgundy. Well, starting in the vineyard, the grape can be a difficult child indeed. Often shy bearing (small production), prone to disease and the elements, and sometimes simply changing its character for no explicable reason. And the problem does not stop in the vineyard – in the winery it also needs careful management but paradoxically is best “left alone” during the ferment, with nature being the senior partner in the exercise. Minimum oxidation and handling, avoidance of mechanical equipment to pump or stir, hand plunging and gravity transfers, all make this an extremely expensive wine style from creation until birth. So why do winemakers persist? There are lots of other options out there, such as Shiraz or Grenache which are virtually indestructible in the vineyard and pretty much make themselves once crushed. The reason is because Pinot represents the pinnacle of excellence in wine making – if you have an aptitude for making great Pinot, you have basically “arrived” in the wine community. In some ways, it is a bit like Sherry – often no money in it, but most winemakers

have a dream that they would like to do it at some stage.

The Burgundy side of the family The true home of Pinot is in Burgundy, where it is the only red grape permitted to be grown. It was not always so – it has just taken a few hundred years to work out that the soil, climate and topography of that region were perfect for the grape, and it has truly flourished. A very strict system of appelation controlee divides up the vineyards into Bourgogne (from lesser classified vineyards with plenty of loamy soil), Village (higher quality areas starting up the hill), Premier Cru (half way up the hill) and Grand Cru (at the highest point, but often with virtually no soil and only deep roots down through lots of limestone). Get the picture? The best vines struggle for life in the meanest soil – this means less grapes but their quality is fantastic. Less grapes of course means less bottles and so up goes the price. Vineyards get handed down through the generations, under the Napoleonic code of succession which automatically gives each child a “slice of the action”. This means that family vineyards often go into multiple ownership and frequently Son “A” ends up with only a row or two of a Premier or Grand Cru vineyard. And you had better hope that your neighbours are good little Vegemites – not much good looking after your row (remember that by now you are probably on first name terms with each of the vines, there are so few) if your next door neighbour is ignoring his row and it is full of bugs. I am told that World War III occasionally breaks out between adjacent owners but, thankfully, this is a pretty rare event as the Froggies realise that they have something fairly precious and need to look after it.

So what does Pinot smell like? For such an exotic and desirable grape, the descriptions of the smell of Pinot are singularly unflattering. Terms such as “rotting vegetation”, “fungal”, and “vegetative” are common descriptors. Appealingly, it often has odours of “berries and cherries” – surely more inviting to a young Pinot acolyte. Make sure, whatever you do, that you smell the wine in a proper glass. Pinot is best drunk in a “bowl” rather than in a traditional elongated “tulip”. Thus, Pinot glasses tend to be wider and deeper, a shape designed to accentuate that wonderful “funky” smell.

Pinot goes with a remarkable range of food. Usually, fish and red wine tend to be enemies because of the way in which the tannins in the wine react with the proteins in the fish. However, Pinot is absolutely

delightful with lightly seared tuna or a piece of Atlantic salmon. For the more carnivorous, Pinot goes down a treat with “furred” and “feathered” game – duck is a natural, but spatchcock, quail, rabbit and venison are all magical partners with Pinot.

LEADER: One of Australia’s top Pinots, Gary Farr’s “Serre” from Geelong. In Burgundy, where Pinot reigns supreme, there is an even more diverse range of food dishes specifically designed to match the grape (fois gras, cassoulet etc). Pinot also seems to have an affinity with slightly spicy foods such as Thai or Indian (as long as you restrain the chilli and curry).

Where to find it? Overseas, I would not stray beyond France (Burgundy) although there are some pretty good examples coming out of America (Oregon and the Russian River area in particular). Here in Australia, Pinot tends to lend itself to cooler climates. Victoria is at the top of the tree with the Yarra Valley, Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong, and also Macedon Ranges. Elsewhere, Tasmania and the Adelaide Hills are the best Pinot options. From New Zealand, we are starting to see some extremely good Pinot out of Marlborough for very modest sums of money. Central Otago and Martinborough have stylish but more expensive versions. If I appear to have got a little carried away about Pinot, it is because of my love affair with it. It disappoints and frustrates, but when all the boxes are ticked, there can be no better wine. So find yourself some duck breasts, throw them on the barbie and take the top off a bottle of Aussie Pinot – I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

The role of shrubs in the garden Gardening GURU

WITH

PRUE SMITH

HRUBS are probably the most popular and well-used group of plants used by domestic gardeners. There are thousands of them, ranging in size from those which can be used as ground-covers (eg Juniperus horizontalis and Gardenia radicans) to those which grow as big as small trees (eg Rhododendrons and Magnolias). The usual definition of a shrub is a woody perennial that branches just above ground-level, which doesn’t die back to ground-level each winter, but builds up a permanent framework of branches each year. This definition gives no idea of course, of the variety of shape, size, form or the habit of the thousands of shrubs available to the home-gardener. It is this enormous diversity which is their greatest virtue. Shrubs can be either evergreen or deciduous, and the range of colours and shapes of their leaves is vast. One of their greatest attractions is of course their flowers, and many of them produce huge, showy flowers which give much pleasure. Think of magnolias and the superb white flowers of an

Tasks in the garden ✓ Deciduous Magnolias are starting to flower. Take note of the ones you like, if you are looking for an attractive shrub. There are many different shapes and sizes. ✓ You should have finished pruning roses and fruit trees by now. ✓ If you have a pond, now is the time for cleaning. ✓ The lovely, old-fashioned Japonicas (Chaenomeles spp.) are now flowering. Older bushes benefit from being cut back regularly, so picking a big bunch for a vase is a good way to do it. They are a good subject for espaliering if you are looking for a plant to use in such a manner. ✓ Prune wattles lightly as their flowers finish, to prevent them becoming scraggley.

EVERYWHERE: There are very few keen gardeners who do not have a Daphne shrub. established Tree Poppy (Romneya coulteri). Others have small flowers which nearly cover the bush such as Japonicas (Chaenomeles ssp.), while yet others carry blooms which are prized for their fragrance such as Gardenias, Daphne, Lilacs, the Mock Orange (Philadelphus ssp.) and the winter-flowering Woodbine (Lonicera fragrans). Shrubs can be used in any number of ways in garden design. Many of them grow naturally under a taller canopy of trees which create protection. They in turn hide the trees’ bare trunks, and benefit from the mulch created by their falling leaves. Shade-tolerant plants such as Mahonias, Camellias, Rhododendrons and the witchhazels (Hamamelis ssp.) all enjoy this type of situation. The creation of borders or hedging is currently a popular aspect of gardening, and shrubs are easier to maintain in this situation than perennials, for example. Of course you need to understand the eventual size the plants will reach, so you allow the necessary amount of room, and also ensures you don’t plant a tall species in the front. If you are planting an entire shrub border, remember to prepare the soil properly, and learn whether or not the plants need sun or shade. Check on the colour and size of the leaves and flowers, and understand whether they are deciduous or evergreen. If you have chosen a deciduous variety, you may care to underplant with a variety of bulbs for a late winter/early spring splash of colour. Their leaves will be hidden as they die back, when the shrubs start their spring growth. Some of the deciduous shrubs you can consider as a border are the Lilacs, Deutzias, Mock Orange, various species of Viburnums, and of course, Roses.

POPULAR: The sweet white flowers of our native waxflower make it a popular shrub for domestic gardens. Many species of shrubs can be used as hedging subjects. The decision needs to be made as to whether it is to be a formal or informal hedge. Once again, prepare the soil well, maybe adding manure and/or compost. The plants will benefit as they are going to be there for a long time. Size of course will dictate to a point, what variety of shrub you choose. Holly makes a wonderful impenetrable, quite high hedge, as do some of the Cotoneasters with their brightly-coloured berries. The evergreen Prunus varieties (P. lusitanica and P. laurocerasus) create a good-sized hedge. Box (Buxus), Hebes, and Camellia species, especially the sasanquas, are great hedging subjects too. For an informal effect think about Roses, Hydrangeas, Viburnums, Mock Orange and Abelias. Shrubs can also be used as specimens in the lawn. Choose a variety which has a special feature which you love, such as an interesting bark, or which has an attractive appearance all year. It is a good idea to plant shrubs in the lawn in groups of uneven numbers, either three, five or seven, depending on the space you have and the plants’ eventual size. Magnolias or Michelias, the beauty bush (Kolkwitzia amabilis)or something like the beautiful Bridal Broom make a spectacular floral display when in groups. Many shrubs of course do very well in containers if you maintain a regular water-

ing and fertilising regime, and you have an understanding of the aspect needed. Camellias, Fuschias, Azaleas, Daphne and Gardenias immediately spring to mind along with Pelargoniums and Geraniums. Shrubs can create a screen, or alternatively, be used as a focal point in your garden. Put some thought into your choice of variety, taking into account what the plants’ eventual size will be and what it will look like during all four seasons.

SUCCESSFUL: The beautiful rock rose (Cistus ssp) does very well in our region.

Escape to Oz tour brings hot acts to Wodonga gig

JUMPING: Local band I Am Atlas are ready to hit the stage this Sunday after a two month hiatus.

492027-RMB34-10

By BLAIR THOMSON OME of the best young metal, punk and hardcore acts in the country will be on show when the Escape to Oz tour rolls into Wodonga next Sunday. Melbourne prog-rockers House vs Hurricane headline the all-ages gig at the Wodonga Civic Centre, with a swag of new tracks from the recently released debut album, Perspectives, to blast out. Hardcore band Confession is set to bring its fiery live act following a recent tour of Europe, with Heroes For Hire joining Legacy on the bill. Local metalcore outfit I Am Atlas will also take to the Civic Centre stage, having won a position on the tour thanks to their undoubted musical talent. It will be the band’s first live show since playing alongside 50 Lions and Blkout at the Albury PCYC in June. Band member Nathan Miles told NewsWeekly the two month hiatus had invigorated and energised the group and given members time to let their creative juices flow. “I’ll definitely be nervous, which I suppose is a good thing ... I wasn’t as excited getting up on the stage as I should have been and nervous energy is always good when you’re doing a stage show,” he said. The band spent the downtime writing tracks for its untitled upcoming EP, with the new songs to be launched at the gig on Sunday. As with many heavy bands, a wide range of genres and artists provide inspiration for I Am Atlas. Most members of the band played in a variety of groups of different genres before coming together for the band’s inception in 2008. Nathan believes this colourful

mix gives I Am Atlas a unique and interesting sound. “It’s kind of hard to pinpoint our sound; we’re influenced by a lot of different genres so whatever is influencing us at the time seems to come out,” he said. “We’re definitely a metalcore band, but no two songs are the same, which is good, it gives us a very different sound. “I was in a jazz band and a blues band before I joined Atlas, and Atlas has been the only band close to a metal band I’ve played in … I think that’s the same for all the other guys.” Nathan said he was looking forward to the Escape to Oz tour, and relishing the thought of playing on the same bill as the other artists. “It’s always good to play with

high calibre bands; if you can cut it with them you know you’ve got something good going on,” he said. “It will be good to see House vs Hurricane. “I was into them before they were signed but it will all be good, it’s a good selection of different styled genres and definitely a gig worth seeing.” He’s also hoping for a solid crowd that’s switched on and ready to jump around. “All of our energy comes from the crowd, if the crowd gets into it, you get into it and feed off each other,” he said. “We try to put as much energy into our live shows as possible.” The Escape to Oz tour comes to the Wodonga Civic Centre on Sunday at 2pm.

CD Review Artist: The Audreys Album: Sometimes the Stars THE third album from The Audreys, titled Sometimes the Stars, is easy listening. The angelic voice of Taasha Coates shines over the minimalist, alt-country backing music of the rest of the band. Opening with Comfort Me, the 10 tracks have a consistent sound that doesn’t waver from a smooth, flowing, somewhat melancholy vibe, which is a bit of a melting pot of several different styles. The track Sometimes the Stars stands out, along with Poorhouse, which has a much darker flow than the rest of the album. Falling Down also has a pleas-

ant sound, with Lonesome Valley rounding out what is an impressive creation from The Audreys. Well worth a listen if you’re into the alt-country scene.

Big performance by young Cougars Sports GOSS WITH

TREVOR JACKSON

IN basketball Albury Cougars under 12 boys have returned from a tough second round of NSW state championships with an overall strong performance. The team managed to ﬁnish second in their pool, losing a crossover game to Sutherland Sharks, 51-44. On top of that performance Cougars’ Jessy Shipard ﬁnished third in the top scorers for his age division with 63 points at an average of 15.8 per game over four games. He missed second place by just one point from Hills Hornets’ Marcus Duffy. Coach Jim Wilson said he was very proud of the way the boys played all year. “As the year went on they were runners-up at the Country and Southern Junior League tournaments,” he said. “They improved every time we played, not just as a team but individually as well which

in turn helped the team improve overall. “From the start to where we we finished was a huge improvement.” In the crossover game against Sutherland Wilson said they were well in the game for the main part but in the final term they just couldn’t get across the line. “The margin was just seven points,” he said. “The game see-sawed a bit and they were lucky enough to make a couple of layups at the right time where we missed a couple of opportunities. “I said to the boys it was just one game … if they keep working on their game there will be many more opportunities.” IN hockey Wodonga women have taken a strong 6-3 win over Falcons despite approaching the game without a goalkeeper. With their two main goalies absent they decided to opt for the different approach which proved fruitful as the game progressed. Early in the game Riley Sutherland, 12, performed a back stick flick pass across the goal to Stephanie Bracher who scored Wodonga’s first. That was soon followed with

scores to Kyrie Cockayne and Sutherland. Wodonga suffered after a corner penalty with no goalie in place, Falcons’ Kate Bardy able to thread the ball between defenders to score their first of the game to trail 3-1 at the break. Wodonga continued in the second half with two goals to Sinead Coleiro but another one to Bardy and a further goal to Amy Bardy kept Falcons in the contest. However a late goal to Cockayne sealed the victory. SS&A Magpies have assured themselves of a second chance in the finals with a 2-0 defeat of United. For the men a 4-4 draw between SS&A Magpies and United has put an end to United’s bid for a semi final berth. Falcons were too strong for Wodonga taking a 4-0 victory while NASC Wombats managed a decisive 8-0 win over Norths, stamping their authority on the competition. ALBURY Wodonga Mountain Bikers will be holding their second annual Super D event this Sunday at the Nail Can Hill course. The event is described as a

point to point gravity fed cross country race, predominantly downhill, with a vertical descent of 200 metres and suited to downhill and cross country mountain bikes. Club president Anthony Cheesman said the race was suitable for many different levels of rider. “It’s a course that can be completed on a number of different styles of bike,” he said. “It’s not just a cross country race but designed to be a bit of fun.” “B-line” options are available for the less ambitious riders and the ride is said to be achievable by varying levels of ﬁtness. The race is part of the club’s championship series but Mr Cheesman said that shouldn’t prevent people from coming up and trying their hand at the sport. “All you need to compete is a serviceable mountain bike and an approved helmet,” he said. “You also need to be registered and MTBA licensed, which can be completed online or on the day.” Mr Cheesman said they were varying the start this year to allow more space for riders to complete the course.

Top riders lining up for charity event By TREVOR JACKSON SATURDAY’S ride for charity is the latest cycling fundraising effort on the Border with the team from Genesys Wealth Advisors sponsoring the event. Genesys is heavily involved in the cycling scene with a pro cycling team taking on major events around the country and overseas. “We sponsor the Genesys professional cycling team that races in the national road series,” Matt Armstrong, member ﬁrm principal of Genesys said. “We use our sponsorship as a good platform to be able to raise money for our chosen charity which is Children First Foundation.” The Children First Foundation will be the recipients of funds from this latest ride.

The foundation’s mission is to help those children who suffer from debilitating illness or deformity and bring them to Australia for treatment. Such help was recently in the world news with conjoined twins, Trisha and Krishna, who beneﬁted from the program. The foundation’s founder, Moira Kelly, was given an Order of Australia for her work. Mr Armstrong said the ride this weekend was designed to be the ﬁrst of an annual event prior to the running of the Tour of the Murray. “The guys from the pro team will be coming to town every year to do the Tour of the Murray about this time,” he said. “So we’re going to try to do it as an annual event, there’ll be a small donation and we’ll give

away some prizes and try to raise some money for Children First. “It’ll be a participation event rather than a competitive ride so we want to try to get as many numbers as we can. “It’ll be a bit of fun and people will get the chance to meet the professional cyclists, so anyone who has an interest in cycling around the town is welcome to come along and meet the guys and have a ride. “We like this team because they are a developmental team. “They’re very good and perform well domestically in their competition they’re top three in their events at the moment. “The aim of the team is to get as many of these guys overseas onto the real pro tour. “One of their guys has

stepped up and raced recently for Saxo Bank in the Tour de France.” The course will be run over approximately 30km and should take around an hour to 1½ hours to complete. The ride will start at The Full Cycle, head out to Thurgoona, then back along the Riverina Highway down into South Albury and on to the Botanical Gardens. “We’ll ﬁnish up in the gardens where we’ll have a stationary bike set up and some competitions for people,” Mr Armstrong said. Pre-registration at The Full Cycle, 523 Macauley Street, or at Genesys Wealth Advisors, 481 Townsend Street, by the end of today, (Friday). People can also register on the day.

Zach keen to lower his handicap From back page “It should help me make more friends, get into more tournaments and lower my handicap.” While Zach hoped to meet Appleby he understood the logistics involved. “Maybe I’ll meet him ... he’s been a bit busy in America lately,” Zach said. Zach’s success in the game has brought a new sporting interest for the family. “I sort of brought dad into it,” he said. “He only started a couple of months ago.” Zach recently competed in the North East district squad at Heathcote where the team finished an impressive fourth against ages up to 18. “I was the youngest in the team,” he said. “I didn’t play that well, it was wet, but it was good fun.” Indeed Zach seems to have been bitten by the golfing bug, using his spare time to watch the game on TV or read golfing magazines, something normally associated with a more mature age. However his maturity is in no doubt and with an average length of 210 metres off the tee Zach has real plans for his golfing career, albeit with the realisation of the work involved to achieve success. “I want to get my handicap down to four by the end of the year,” he said. “I’ve hovered around seven for a while, got it down to six then back up to seven. “I had about three months off to decide whether to play football or golf then came back and shot five under my handicap. “That helped reassure my decision. “I’ll just keep trying to stay in the Victorian teams and hopefully go over to America, and eventually become a pro I guess, but we’ll see what happens.”

Fishing club angling for members

ANGLING: The Kinross fishing club is back in action. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

By TREVOR JACKSON AFTER an extended time in the wilderness the Kinross Fishing Club is back in business. Club secretary-treasurer Gary Simonis said the club was emphasising family involvement in its activities. NewsWeekly caught up with Mr Simonis at Bowna Reserve during the club’s ﬁrst meet and greet day over the weekend. “We’re just a young startup ﬁshing club,” Mr Simonis said. “There was a club before but I believe it all went pearshaped, with the same people doing the work all the time. “We’re trying to get a good broad base of members, including heaps of kids running around having fun to make it very family friendly.” The near perfect weather on Sunday made for a good open-

ing day for the club with a good turn out of members showing up. “We want to come out on days like today and try and catch a fish,” Mr Simonis said. “If we don’t catch a fish, bad luck, we’ll just have a social day out.” He said one of the main goals of the club was to raise funds to organise a charter fishing trip over to the coast and take on a bit of salt water sport fishing. “With all our paid members hopefully we will get enough money,” Mr Simonis said. “With all the things that we’re doing and running, our joker poker and meat trays, hopefully we get sufficient funds to go over. “It’s all nice coming out here but a lot of times you don’t catch fish, but over the coast you do.

“And everybody loves eating salt water fish so we’ll see how we go. “Currently we’re travelling along pretty well, we’ve got a good base of members, all good people and we hope it stays that way.” The club has now been together for around five months and has about 30 members. But there is still plenty of work to do. “We’re still in our infancy and we have a lot to learn,” Mr Simonis said. “Hopefully we don’t make too many mistakes and learn from the ones we make, and have a good profitable little club.” The club hadn’t planned to run weekly fishing competitions, feeling it was a little too demanding on members but had planned to take various trips around the region.

Top tipsters continue battle on the airwaves, but it’s ...

Curtains for feathered duo By TREVOR JACKSON THE final round of the home and away games in the O&M have produced some interesting results. Wangaratta Rovers did their finals chances no favours going down 63-84 to Wodonga. As expected Yarrawonga took the win over Wangaratta 86-60, with Albury taking the points from Corowa-Rutherglen, 98-69. Lavington struggled in the wet to kick just six goals but held Myrtleford to just one, taking the points 49-16. The big game of the week was the Raiders-Hoppers clash and it lived up to the hype with the Raiders prevailing in a closely fought 64-53 point encounter. Anthony Pierri managed four goals for the Raiders, giving him the nod in the goal kicking stakes with 71 for the season. Despite the Raiders’ win North Albury still remain in third position going into the finals series. Week one of the finals sees Yarrawonga take on North Albury at

the WJ Finlay Oval in Wangaratta while the Raiders take on Wangaratta Rovers at Bunton Park. The Pigeons would have to start favourites against the Hoppers and should rightly take the points but I’m tipping the Hoppers to get across the line in a tight contest. It should be a no contest at Bunton Park with the Raiders taking a comfortable victory over the Hawks. The end of the home and away rounds also sees the end of our inaugural tipping competition and it was as hotly contested as the top four on the O&M ladder. As stated last week our two leaders could not be separated so Mark French from BF Panels and Simon Corr from 2AY take out the joint title. Congratulations guys and thanks to all who competed. Third place was just as tight with Helen Goldsworthy from Simple Indulgence on 68 points, myself and Lochie Altmeier from Lochie’s Countryside Meats both

on 69, but it was Mark Treloar from Lawton’s Interiors who took third with 70 points. Lochie made a last ditch effort with five in the final round to reel in the gap, as did Lauren Schmutter from Zabuui Hairdesigners who brought up the rear of the field. I have to say, had Simon backed his beloved Raiders and not jumped ship he would have taken out the title by a solitary point, but hindsight is a wonderful thing, and not many of us expected the Raiders to take the win. Either way Simon did state a few weeks back that if he didn’t win the competition he would invite Mark French to take part in his Saturday morning radio program, the Critic, a statement he is more than happy to stick to. “I’ve had a ball with the tips this season,” he said. “But like the Collingwood football team, when the pressure was applied I crumbled, but it’s been fantastic. “It’s given me something to look forward to on Friday morn-

ings, but not always on Mondays.” Simon went on to say that it pleased him not to be topped by anyone else but pleased him more to have beaten me. We’ll see how he goes in the finals series against Mark! “I’ve acknowledged that Mark is the expert tipster in the NewsWeekly,” he added. “Now I want to find out if he is the expert in the Albury Wodonga region. “So for the entire finals series we’re going to throw down the challenge to one of our listeners to see if they can beat Mark. “We will test his expertise on the O&M, Tallangatta and the Hume leagues. “If one of our listeners selects more tips than Mark they will be rewarded from the 2AY prize cabinet.” This sounds a like a great opportunity for our readers and Simon’s listeners to participate in the final series and Mark was more than happy to take the challenge on board.

“It was good to win the competition,” Mark said. “It was a bit of fun. “I always checked the scores and knew I was in it but when I caught Simon towards the end I thought it was looking good.” As far as the challenge Simon has now set, Mark was more than happy to participate even though he doesn’t follow all the games that will be played. “When he said it was about the Tallangatta league and others I was a bit worried,” he said. “I don’t really follow the other leagues. “I think he’s also incorporating the AFL so that’s all right … I follow that a bit. “It should be a good way to finish the year off.” Both Simon and Mark have tipped Yarrawonga and the Raiders to take the points this week so I’m hoping to take a 2-1 advantage going into the finals having favoured the Hoppers. You can follow Simon on 2AY on Saturday mornings.

STRONG: Thurgoona’s Lucas Mellier breaks through the pack in Saturday’s clash against Yackandandah.

Ground comes up a treat for finals

By TREVOR JACKSON THE Tallangatta district football league began its finals last weekend with games played at the Sandy Creek ground. Despite the negative statements made recently regarding the venue, the ground seemed to come up a treat and some good contests resulted. In Saturday’s qualifying final Thurgoona managed an inspiring 115-82 victory over Yackandandah. The Bulldogs began with the aid of a possible four goal breeze and kicked out to a seven goal lead at the first break.

However the Roos took advantage of the conditions in the second term and kicked back to within four goals before Thurgoona again cleared out in the third to set up the victory. In Sunday’s elimination final Rutherglen managed to take the points from Kiewa Sandy Creek in a close 81-71contest. Inaccurate kicking almost cost the Cats the game which saw a 5.1 to 3.12 scoreline at the long break. Rutherglen regrouped after half time and managed a better conversion rate, kicking five goals to three in the third and holding on to take a hard fought win.

ATTACKING: Thurgoona defender Amanda Finn was caught out of position against Barnawartha’s Alison Leech in Saturday’s netball match at Sandy Creek. Pictures: TREVOR JACKSON Semi finals take place this weekend with Beechworth taking on Thurgoona and Yackandandah facing Rutherglen. In the netball Thurgoona weren’t quite as lucky and went down to a hard charging Barnawartha, 49-44. The Bulldogs took it up to the Tigers and for the most part were well and truly in the game. A big third quarter effort by Barny helped their girls to make that break and they held on from there. Best for Thurgoona were Annika Sturday, Lisa Beckett and Rebecca Linehan. Thurgoona now face Kiewa Sandy Creek

in the first semi final this Sunday in what will be a tough contest. Kiewa has had the wood over Thurgoona this season so the Bulldogs will have to draw on all their talent and experience if they want to be able to progress any further in the finals series. Rutherglen were knocked out of the contest in the elimination final against Kiewa Sandy Creek by just a single goal. In the other game this weekend top of the table Mitta United take on Barnawartha on Saturday. All the league finals are played at the league’s Sandy Creek ground.

PROMISING: Zach Murray at Wodonga golf course with his favourite club, the putter. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

By TREVOR JACKSON AT just 13 years of age Zach Murray plays golf off a seven handicap. He has only been playing the game for 2Â˝ years and has already been included in the Victorian junior state development squad. The Wodonga youngster is not from a golďŹ ng family, having become interested through friends and watching the game on television And when he proved to have a natural ďŹ&#x201A;air for the game he decided to stick to it. Zach has achieved some good results both locally and in state competitions, his best effort being a two over the card in a club championship at Wodonga.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played to two the other week â&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my best round,â&#x20AC;? Zach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was playing against a guy in matchplay â&#x20AC;Ś I made it to the ďŹ nal but lost it on the last hole.â&#x20AC;? Selection in the development squad has ďŹ rmed up Zachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in making a career in the game after having a break to consider his future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state development squad is run by Stuart Appleby and the Victorian Golf Association,â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;About seven or eight juniors get picked from around Victoria for the team â&#x20AC;Ś I think we go down to the Moonah Links in Melbourne about four times a year.
