How’s this for a new car? THERE was something for everyone at the Henty Machinery Field Days this week – including this hotted-up car-turned-tractor which Wodonga’s Christine and Geoff Male sit on. The vehicle was modified by David Woodward to run at modified tractor-pulling competitions, with huge back wheels and a 454 naturally-aspirated Chevy motor ensuring it has plenty of grunt.

Spring into a new home By BLAIR THOMSON THE Border housing market is strong but steady, with a large increase in the number of homes for sale expected in coming months, according to local estate agents. And that’s good news for both home buyers and sellers. Many people are keen to sell their homes during spring when homes and gardens are looking their best, meaning the market will be ﬂooded with available homes. And the warm weather means that prospective home-buyers are keen to get out and inspect properties and attend auctions. “I think most certainly if you’re looking to purchase a house over the next four to eight weeks, there will certainly be a lot more on the market with quite a reasonable selection to choose from,” Hutton Real Estate principal Barry Hutton said.

“There’s always a lot more property that comes up over spring, it helps people to sell their house in the spring.” Mr Hutton also said a slowing in the number of people looking to build new homes was forcing builders to be more competitive. “There’s a decline in the demand of new homes since the GST was introduced and the global economic slump struck,” he said. “You would say that builders have had to get more competitive with their pricing, so it’s made the building of a new home more affordable than it was a couple of years ago.” Alatalo Bros marketing manager, Rod Jones, said the time was right to buy house and land packages. “It’s quietened down since those heady days when there was a $36,000 government grant, but the market its still strong, there’s lots of good genuine enquiries,” he said.

By PAT KOOPMAN THE stage is set for the Border’s premier gala business event of the year. The 2010 Chamber Business Awards ﬁnalist announcement party on Tuesday night has set the scene for the gala dinner on Friday, October 15, at the Albury Entertainment Centre, when category winners will be announced. Albury Northside Chamber of Commerce Board chair James Stewart said it was important to be able to support local businesses. “The awards are getting bigger and bigger every year,” Mr Stewart told NewsWeekly. “At the moment we’re looking at hopefully selling out the

Albury Entertainment Centre.” Bar Sushi Pty Ltd is a ﬁnalist in four categories. Proprietor Jai Edwards said the business now has up to 16 employees at its Albury and Wodonga locations. “We’re just about to open our third store, which is very exciting,” he said. Bringing the city to the country is the secret behind its success, according to Mr Edwards. A third Bar Sushi, the second to be located in Dean Street, will open in two weeks. Wilson Transformer Company Pty Ltd is another multiple ﬁnalist. “The main reason we go in them is it’s one of the few opportunities we get in our busi-

ness to actually recognise our staff because it really doesn’t happen without them,” general manager Jon Retford said. “They come to work every day and this is one way that they get some recognition.” Mr Retford said the awards were growing in stature. “There’s a lot of prestige, but I think what you learn is that process of being reflective because you need to report your progress over the year. “You can’t win an award that you’ve won before unless you can demonstrate significant improvement. “I mean that in itself is a challenge. “The other thing is that process of reflection forms some ideas for the future.”

Strong demand to boost homes sales From page 1 “The ﬁrst home market we’re ﬁnding to be very quiet at the moment, but second and third home-buyers are quite strong. “I think it’s a good time to buy; the land prices are good and the builders are very competitive price-wise ... anyone looking to build will get a good deal on a house and land package.” Demand for rental accommodation is also strong on the Border.

Heidi Bourke from Wodonga Real Estate said the estate agents were seeing plenty of people inspecting rental properties. “The rental market is really strong, our vacancy rate is really low this year,” she said. “If you have an open home for rent, there’s 15 to 20 people turning up for that rental.” Ms Bourke is also predicting a strong end to the year. “It will be a strong six months,” she said.

Family’s sad break with past

By BLAIR THOMSON THE end of an era for the Reuss family in Wodonga is drawing near, with the family’s farm off Reuss Road to be sold after 83 years of ownership. Bert and Grace Reuss came to the property on their honeymoon in 1927 when the town of Wodonga was little more than a settlement. Bert cleared the redgums which covered the 70 acres over many years to create a vegetable and dairy farm, with 100 acres on the property next door rented and eventually bought. Joe Reuss, now in his seventies, was one of eight children who were born and raised on the farm, which lies on a floodplain on the Wodonga Creek. He has a wealth of fond memories of growing up on the property. “In those days, when I was a kid, Wodonga was a town of 3000 people, if you’re lucky,” Joe said. “It was great growing up here; you didn’t need any entertainment because you’d go ferreting, you’d go rabbiting, fishing, or you’d work out on the farm, so there was never a dull moment. “We always slept on the verandah rain, hail or shine, summer or winter, because

there was no room inside the house for eight kids.” It was a time when people did it a lot tougher, and things were a lot different. Joe remembers gypsies and drovers coming to stay at the property. “When we were kids, the gypsies would come down here ... you’d see two or three carloads come down to the old swimming hole down the other side of the bridge,” he explained. “They’d come across to get milk, and you’d lock everything down and shut the chook house. “They were good people and we’d play with their kids, and their descendants are still in Wodonga today. “But when they said they’d read your palm, you’d put your hand on your pocket. “And there were stockmen camped in permanent tent camps ... they’d have their wagons pulled by two horses, and they would drove cattle from here all the way to Queensland.” Joe said it wasn’t until the late 50s and 60s that Wodonga started to boom. “And then with the Albury Wodonga Development Corporation in the 70s Wodonga kicked off to what we see now,” he said.

“They bought most of the farms around here, bar this one … they came to acquire it but it wasn’t it the designated area. “My dad rang me, and I said: ‘they can’t buy it, tell them to piss off!’.” Land was acquired for the freeway in the 1960s, and again for the Wodonga rail bypass about four years ago. Most of the children, many of whom now have their own children and greatgrand children, moved on to other towns or passed away. Joe knows that with time comes change. The farm, which is owned by a family trust, will be auctioned off on October 29, which will be a sad day for the family. “They’re all getting older … they’ve got eight kids, 30 odd grandkids, and 50 odd great-grandkids. “We want to divide it up while the original family’s still alive. “My oldest brother who was a director of the company died last year, so it’s time to move on. “It will be a big break and I’ll be sad to see it go, but I’m in my seventies and I can’t look after it, it’s just one of those things. “But I’ll always keep my memories of this place.”

Apprentices show skills WODONGA TAFE apprentice chefs have “cooked up a storm” at the state final of the AUS-TAFE 2010 Culinary Trophy held at Melbourne Exhibition Centre. The talented apprentices brought home a great result. First year apprentice Jamie Cox won bronze along with Jarrod Pimm, who won silver. Second year apprentice Laurel Grose also won a silver medal. Wodonga TAFE’s commercial cookery teacher, Christian Beattie, said it was a great opportunity for regional students to compete in front of their industry peers at Fine Food Australia. “The students have practised in their own time under the TAFE chef’s tuition,” Mr Beattie said. “Their hard work has paid off … they were well prepared and although nervous competed to a strong standard. “Students were required to set up, prepare, cook and serve two plates of each dish and then clean up in the two hours that they were allocated. “They had to supply their own additional ingredients and had to work within a budget.” The final dishes were judged under a series of criteria including methods and techniques, workplace organisation, timing, hygiene and presentation and, of course, taste.

Thousands flock to biggest farm party By BLAIR THOMSON A MIX of great weather, new and innovative farming technology and lots of good people helped to make this year’s Henty Machinery Field Days a great success. The annual three-day event, which has grown into one of the leading farm machinery days in the country, was opened by Governor-General Quentin Bryce on Tuesday, with an estimated 50,000 people viewing a record-setting 800 exhibitors by the event’s conclusion on Thursday. While people could see traditional farming equipment, like tractors, trucks and ploughs, the field days also offered a few surprises. Air Borne Australia director Russell Duncan was busy showing off the latest in microlite planes, which look like hang-gliders with

an engine, while prospective buyers flew above the Henty site. “This is the first time we’ve been to Henty; we came just to check out the response, and people seem to be really interested,” Mr Duncan said. “With aircraft, it’s often tough for people to find out where they are and where they can train, but here people can touch them and look at them, it’s a good way to go. “They’re a great machine for properties, because you can fly from place to place, check out fences, or go and see your mate on another farm … they’re quicker than a car and there’s less gates to open.” David Woodward also had a unique display. His modified “tractor”, which in reality looked like a cross between a monster truck and a drag car, was a popular exhibit.

“It’s called Dirty Deeds, it’s a two-wheeldrive truck powered by a 454 naturally-aspirated Chev which runs at modified tractor pulling shows,” Mr Woodward said. “People have been quite interested in it, I suppose because it’s not something you see every day.” Geoff and Christine Male from Wodonga have been coming to the Henty Machinery Field Days for many years. Mr Male, who was looking for a new ute, said the event had everything he needed. “The weather couldn’t be better, there’s a hell of a lot of displays … we’re just up for today and checked out utes and vehicles and it couldn’t be more helpful for us … Henty’s got everything,” he said. “We usually come up every few years and meet a lot of cousins and friends and make a good day of it, it’s always good to check out.”

Nigel Stone points out the plans of the new facility to Rachael Webb.

Cash helps Woodstock By TREVOR JACKSON WOODSTOCK services has received a huge boost in funding with donations coming from the Rotary Club of Albury West and the Albury Wodonga Moteliers Association to assist in building an ability playground. “We are building a child care facility and early intervention centre at CSU all together,” Woodstock’s Nigel Stone said. “What the guys have raised money for now is a purpose built playground for children with a disability. “We’ve been given about $7000 from the moteliers and a further $36,000 from the proceeds of the Nail Can Hill run. “We’ll be looking at getting a raised trampoline with a net around it and a swing for wheel chairs.” Woodstock provide varied services to the disabled in the region from children up to adults and Mr Stone said the new playground would be a huge bonus for the area. He said the crucial time in a child’s development was between zero and six years of age

and play based therapy is a positive step in helping children reach their potential. “Early intervention is a range of therapies and educational processes to help children with a disability meet their milestones in life,” he said. “A lot of children will meet their milestones progressively, where children with a disability need a bit of assistance to get to those milestones. “This facility is all about a play based therapy, it’s about working one on one with some of our therapists as well as some special educators as well. “It’s a holistic view about the child and it’s a range of different options that are tailored to meet whatever the needs of the child are.” Mr Stone said the donations received from organisations and other members of the community were crucial for meeting the needs of Woodstock. Mike Kirby from the Rotary Club of Albury West said his group was more than happy to donate the funds to such a worthwhile community project.

Dose of Dorin

Unfair to pensioners IN many countries their elder statesmen are revered and honoured. It is not unusual for these societies to continue to look after their elderly as part of their family home well into their pensioner years. But it would seem that the Australian culture is far more cold and callous. These men and women who helped to forge this country into what it is today continually take “a beating” when it comes to being slugged with extra costs around the home. A proposed $18.40 rise in NSW public housing rents is the last straw for pensioners, according to Member for Albury, Greg Aplin. Pensioners are struggling to cope with savage electricity price hikes and are now being hit with a rise in their rents, according to Mr Aplin. The Border region is coming out of its “winter slumber” when overnight temperatures fell to extremely low ﬁgures. Just how many of our elderly citizens were forced to do away with heaters during this time in order to save money could well be mind boggling. The problem faced by many people where every dol-

lar needs to be accounted for, is that we will almost certainly experience another temperature extreme over the summer months. In fact, pensioners are not alone when it comes to having to contend with massive electricity bills over the winter and summer months. The hit in the pocket for the “average” family is just as taxing. Mr Aplin has heard of horrifying accounts of pensioners struggling to cope with the massive cost in electricity. There are almost certainly many more of these stories out there in the wider community. When faced with this dilemma, many people decide to have to do away with “luxuries” that they can no longer afford or justify. Our elderly citizens deserve much more respect. The NSW Government is under increasing pressure to reverse the rent decision. Once again it could well be decided at the ballot box. Our elderly citizens still have the right to vote. This region has already seen people power come to the fore, perhaps it is time for “grey power” to make its mark!

Pollies’ corner

Water rush comes at expense of country Sophie Mirabella By

Federal Member for Indi to bypass all environmental protocols, break a major election promise, ignore any semblance of a business plan, and build the daddy of all white elephants (so far) – the North South Pipeline. With the recent rains, our waterways are ﬂowing again, and, for now, the North South Pipeline has stopped robbing water from north of the divide. Yes that’s right, the State Government has been forced to shut off the pumps because the dam that receives the pipeline water, Sugarloaf, has al-

ready reached 92 per cent of capacity. It will be full in less than a month with the water it was originally designed to take from the Yarra Basin without the pipeline’s contribution. At an initial estimate of $750 million, the now-idle pipeline’s cost to Victorians blew out to $1 billion, 33 per cent over budget and has provided a paltry 24 billion litres of water. This pipeline will only be outdone in political stupidity by the Wonthaggi desalination plant which is estimated to cost around $5.7 billion to build and a further $300 million every year even if no desalinated water is used. Neither of these expensive and ill-conceived ideas takes the environment into consideration either through the construction or operational phases. The only way to stop this waste and mismanagement is to change the state government.

did not hold out much hope of this happening. Mr Aplin said he was hearing horrifying accounts of pensioners struggling to cope with the massive cost in electricity. “It is a cost they cannot avoid,” Mr Aplin said. “Pensioners cannot look to lower their bills by installing solar panels because most could not afford the cost, and those in public housing would not be allowed to have the work done on their residences.” The Combined Pensioners and Superannuants Association of NSW said the big rise in rents had come about because the NSW Government had decided to take last year’s special $30 pension rise into account when calculating rents. Policy co-ordinator with the combined pensioners association Charmaine Crowe said Queensland, Tasmania, Northern Territory and South Australian had agreed to permanently exempt the $30 rise from rent. “But NSW has refused to join them,” she said.

A PROPOSED $18.40 rise in NSW public housing rents is the last straw for pensioners, according to the Member for Albury, Greg Aplin. Mr Aplin said pensioners were struggling to cope with savage electricity price hikes and now were being hit with the double-whammy of a rise in their rents. NSW public housing rents are planned to rise $18.40 a fortnight, at the same time as the inﬂation-based increase in aged pensions sees the single pension increase $15 a fortnight and the family rate $23 a fortnight. Mr Aplin said his ofﬁce was receiving more and more calls about the burden pensioners are facing from rising power prices. Now for rents to rise more than the pension rise was just too much. “The double-whammy of these two major cost increases is a real issue for pensioners,” he said. Mr Aplin said the NSW Government was under increasing pressure to reverse the rent decision, but he he

THE recent rains in the North East have served to show how forgiving and resilient our wonderful region is. Before these rains we suffered what has been declared as a one in a 100 year drought, which continued for more than a decade. During that decade our waterways dried up, the countryside was ravaged by a number of bushﬁres, crops withered before farmer’s eyes, stock numbers were reduced to mere fractions of what the fertile pastures could usually hold. While this all continued the communities of the region rallied and supported each other through the rough times. The rough times continued to get worse as the city-centric State Labor Government in Melbourne told the people of Melbourne that it would create “New Water.” In reality, the Bracks, followed by the Brumby Government managed

By PAT KOOPMAN MARIE Hoffmann will celebrate her 82nd birthday on December 17. In many ways she continues to typify the sense of community spirit which envelopes the Thurgoona Rural Fire Brigade. On Saturday, her 68 years of devoted service to the Rural Fire Service was acknowledged at the Thurgoona Brigade’s 100th birthday celebrations, which were attended by 160 guests. The involvement of Mrs Hoffmann and her late husband, Percy, has represented a true family affair. “We did everything together Perc and I,” Mrs Hoffmann told NewsWeekly. “I was married to the best guy in the world. We had a lovely life together. “Perc just said to me only three weeks before we were made life members ‘mother … he always called me mother … I want you, if you’re happy doing it to keep going’.” Mrs Hoffmann said she felt “very excited” about the day. “Why didn’t somebody tell me,” she asked. “It was a lovely surprise and I’m going on still.” In all, 18 long service medals were awarded to Thurgoona volunteers. Shannon Britton, who is also a member of the NSW State Emergency Service, was awarded the National Medal for service above and beyond what is expected.

SERVICE: Recipients of long service medals, totalling more than 450 years service, presented by NSW Rural Fire Service commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons AFSM. Colleen Tankard received life membership with the Thurgoona RFS Brigade for her incredible fundraising efforts for the new $180,000 extensions, which were officially unveiled on the day. Fundraising efforts over a seven year period generated $120,000 towards the extensions, while Albury Council contributed $60,000 towards the project. Albury mayor Cr Alice Glachan said the Thurgoona Brigade played a significant role.

“Not only within our community, but they’ve been used as a staging point most recently with the horrific fires down in Victoria,” Cr Glachan said. “So they do play a very vital role, both locally within our community, within the region absolutely and also across the nation.” Superintendent George Alexander, manager of Southern Border Team of Rural Fire Service, said such days recognised the “volunteerism” of the Australian people.

“We are so grateful for people putting so much work into looking after their community by volunteering their services,” he said. “It’s a commitment 24 hours a day seven days a week, 365 days a year. “No matter what sort of day it is they make that commitment all the time. “It is a proud day and the efforts the Brigade has put in to raise the money to do this in conjunction with Albury Council is unbelievable.”

Colours of the rainbow on display BE inspired by the rainbow of the iris flower at the Annual Iris Flower and Art Show next month. It will be held once again in Wodonga and this year is part of the Wodonga Council’s Senior Celebrations program. Members from the Inland Regional Iris Society Inc conduct the show and also put on presentations and displays. Society secretary Maria Rosa said irises are referred to as the flower of the rainbow. “The word Iris alone conjures up visions of brilliant spring flowers and this is what visitors to the show can expect when they attend,” she said. “Irises come in all colours of the spectrum, covering solid colours through to variations which include bi-colours, stripes and spots.” The event has grown significantly since its inaugural show in 1995, which was held at the Wodonga Plant Farm, where it was held for the first two years. Due to the increase in size of the show and members, a new location had to be found, resulting in the show being held in Yarrawonga until 2008 before returning to Wodonga last year at Arts Space Wodonga. Art was included for the first time at last year’s event, which was sourced from well-known regional Victoria artists and featured the iris flower. Around 100 non-members attended last year. Ms Rosa said this year patrons will be able to view the Iris Show Championship, which is the major award. “Other categories include the open section for experienced exhibitors, novice where we encourage anyone who has irises growing in their garden to enter, and miscellaneous for those that have hybridised their own iris seedling,” she said.

Albury Local Area Command set to mark Remembrance Day with church service

Paying tribute to those who served Each year September 29 holds a special significance for police throughout Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and the Solomon Islands. It is a day for police to pause and honour officers whose lives have been cut short while on duty. This important day is also a time to remember police officers who have lost their lives through illness or other circumstances. On this day we commemorate those whose lives were cut short in service, those who strived to make this world a better place. Police swear an oath of office to keep and preserve the peace we enjoy, willingly and with a sense of duty place themselves between good an evil.

The loss of a member is felt deeply, not only by the family and friends, but also by all members of the NSW Police Force. The loss of our colleagues deserves the undying respect of every person who enjoys the peace and freedom that law enforcement provides. It is fitting we gather to pay tribute to our fallen colleagues. National Police Remembrance Day is observed on the main fest day for Saint Michael the Archangel, patron Saint of police. St Michael is recognised by the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths. Albury Local Area Command will be hosting the Remembrance Day ceremony this year at St Matthews Anglican Church, at 11am on Wednesday, September 29.

inspector LYNELLE RODWELL We also remember loved ones of fallen colleagues. Every officer is missed and will never be forgotten. It takes a special calibre of person to be a good police officer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a calling that involves an officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, and creates a special bond to a world-wide fellowship. National Police Remembrance Day is an opportunity to remember not only fallen officers, but their parents, partners and children.

The Thin Blue Line By Katherine Roburn

Among us, sent down from heaven, Are those that walk a Thin Blue Line, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a given. Like Guardian Angels to watch over me and you, Are those that wear the uniform of blue. We see them only as traffic stops, We do not call them friends, just cops. We pray we never have a chance meeting, We never pass along a greeting. But they are so much more than this, They simply do not see the world as bliss. But they look into the corners of our

deepest fears, They walk the beat, they wipe a tear. They bring a message to our home, When all is not well, and you are alone. They come to us, no matter the need, Handle the problem, complete the deed. They lay their personal feelings aside, They do their job, they have great pride. And if one should fall, among lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s things. The badge they wear, turns into wings.

By PAT KOOPMAN ALBURY Swim Centre still holds a special place in the heart of mayor Cr Alice Glachan. She has enjoyed a “lifelong and generational connection” with the centre. The Elm trees may be long gone, but she still vividly remembers the fun days she spent there as a young girl. With such a special affinity for the centre, it was particularly fitting that she was on hand on Monday to launch the swimming season for the summer of 2010-2011. Her love for the centre and what it means to the Albury and wider community was clearly evident. “It’s about this pool being in such a fantastic location, it’s right by the Murray River,” she said. “One might be tempted to hop into the river, but you can enjoy the scenery, the ambiance of this location but swim in the safety of the pool. “That’s what we’re encouraging people to do … to come and participate in the community pool.” Cr Glachan encouraged parents to enrol their children in the learn to swim programs at the centre. “Noting that it’s the start of the swimming season we want people learning to swim now, so that throughout the swimming season they can enjoy the facilities to their full,” she said. Cr Glachan said it was important that people of all ages learn how to swim. “If you can’t swim properly then you not only increase the risk of drowning to your-

self, but also other swimmers around you,” she said. “Clearly we want to minimise that risk in our community and so encouraging people to come and learn to swim early in the year is the way to go, so that for the rest of the season those children and those families can enjoy their swimming experience and their relaxation in our community.” Learning to swim is a great life lesson, according to Jennifer Mamouney, who is the lessee of Albury and Lavington swim centres, along with her brother, Matthew. “Not only does it give you confidence in the water, but it gives you confidence outside of the water as well,” she said. “As a person you feel good about yourself. You are never too old to learn and it is a great skill to have.” Private learn to swim programs at the centre cater for babies right through to adults of all ages. “So it doesn’t matter whether you’re 100 or six months of age we will cater for that,” Ms Mamouney said. “The NSW Government’s Sport and Recreation also runs learn to swim classes here, so from November right through to the end of March there is always learn to swim here for all ages. “It is a skill worth having. It saves not only your life, but a lot of peoples’ lives as well.” Lavington Swim Centre is scheduled to open on Monday, October 4. Pool membership details can be found on the Albury council website: www.alburycity. nsw.gov.au

Hairdressers impress the judges

TWO Albury hairdressers have been recognised as leaders in their business. Jessica Lean and Paige Maw from The Last Tangle in Albury have taken out the silver award at the young talent category in the annual Wella Professionals Trend Vision Awards. The pair also took out the

people’s choice award from more than 16,000 online votes cast from across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US. Judging for the awards took place on Monday, September 6 at Byron Kennedy Hall in Moore Park. The pair from The Last Tangle impressed the judges

with their dreamy portrayal of the Techno Poetry trend look. Jessica said the placings were a great achievement for the salon. “I am absolutely thrilled to have won both the silver award in the young talent category and the people’s choice award,” she said.

Rubbish program ‘is on track’ THE campaign to halve the waste being landfilled at the Albury Waste Management Centre is right on track. The two year campaign … “Halve Waste – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” … is endorsed by the mayors from Albury, Corowa, Greater Hume, Towong, Indigo and Wodonga and the 15 other councils represented by RAMROC (the Riverina and Murray Regional Organisation of Councils). Albury landfill receives 200,000 tonnes of waste per year and is the fourth largest landfill in NSW and the largest outside Sydney. Already over 150 businesses have signed the Halve Waste pledge thereby committing to generating less waste and exploring options to improve recycling. The target for the first year was 200, so the campaign is well on track. Albury mayor Cr Alice Glachan congratulated Albury businesses on their willingness to embrace the campaign to conserve and recycle resources. “Businesses contribute around 62 per cent of the waste we landfill, so it is great to see so many businesses signing the pledge,” she said. So far 35 businesses have taken advantage of the free waste assessment and over 120 recycling recommendations have been made by the team of waste experts. An A-Z Waste Guide and information fact sheets are now available on the campaign web site www.halvewaste.com.au The schools education program kicks off next month and the home composting program will be launched in November this year during National Recycling Week. AlburyCity has recently applied for, and received, a licence amendment to trial a new composting system at the Albury Waste Management Facility. It is hoped this will improve productivity, reduce odours and increase diversion from landfill.

Eye on men’s health

By PAT KOOPMAN THE Commonwealth Bank and the Rotary Club of AlburyHume combined last Friday to raise awareness of men’s health with the main focus on prostate cancer. Club members cooked up a storm with a sausage sizzle on Swift Street as part of Commonwealth Bank blue barbecue day in support of Men’s Health Month and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The Commonwealth Bank is a major supporter of men’s health. “Today we’re having a number of barbecues around the country to support research for prostate cancer,” Commonwealth Bank Regional and Agribusiness Banking regional manager Rod Bramich told NewsWeekly. “We (men) need to be pushed and encouraged often to go and

have a check-up. It really is important and it’s so simple. “So I certainly support that we need to create awareness and encourage men to go and have a vital check. “It is just critical that we get that check and make sure that we’re here for a long time.” Mr Bramich, who is also a member of the Rotary Club of Albury-Hume, expressed his gratitude to the businesses who supported the sausage sizzle. “We also got support from Bakers Delight in Albury, who have the stores in Centro and Myer Centre ... so John and Jodie House thank you very much,” he said. “Also Southern Cross media, the radio stations Star and River, have been promoting the day as well.” The day raised $210 for prostate cancer research through a gold coin donation.

By KEN DYASON READING food labels was the lesson from a recent supermarket tour in Wodonga. Albury Wodonga Health dietician Helen Still gave a group of people taking part in a healthy living program a guide to what is in the food they buy. The tour was held with the co-operation of Coles supermarket at Centro Birallee. “We aim to show people what the labels on products mean,” Ms Still said. “We want people to know what terms like ‘lite’ really mean. “By showing them how to find out how much salt and sugar are in products we can help them buy the right things. “If people don’t make good choices in the things they buy it will not lead to producing healthy food in the kitchen.” The participants are all taking part in a Life! Taking Action on Diabetes program, designed to avoid contracting type 2 diabetes. All courses are run by specially trained instructors like dietician Helen Still. Jacki Eckert, program manager for the Albury Wodonga Regional GP Network said research has shown type 2 diabetes can be prevented in nearly 60 per cent of cases by making lifestyle changes.

Veterans put work on display By TREVOR JACKSON BORDER photo buffs will be treated to a classic collection of images when Rod Hardinge and Simon Quaass display their timeless work at Gateway Village, Wodonga. The Creators Artspace exhibition will be a display of “decades” of work through the 70s and 80s, mainly in the classic black and white medium and all shot on film. While Hardinge has been a well known face in the region, having photographed for over 40 years, Quaass is a more recent addition to the area having migrated to the Border two years ago. Although the two artists had little reference to each other over the years their paths managed to cross unexpectedly.

“The exhibition is work that we’ve both done through the decades,” Hardinge said. “At the time some interesting patterns formed that we didn’t realise, some parallels between our work. “We’ve both shot nudes and featured windows and rocks in our work. “In a sense it’s reflective of quite traditional photography … not altered in any modern way.” Quaass regularly used large format film while Hardinge said he used pretty much what was at hand, often the 5x5 inch format. Both photographers now teach in the photoimaging course at Wodonga TAFE. The exhibition continues until Tuesday, September 28, from 10am to 4pm.

Hard effort paying off By PAT KOOPMAN WODONGA businesswoman Darleen Eitler is a success story in her own right. The mother of two recently celebrated her 10th anniversary with environmentally-friendly cleaning company ENJO Australia. This milestone coincided with another significant achievement when she was awarded a nationwide Top Team Manager honour. The announcement was made at a gala night in Phuket as part of an ENJO business leader’s summit. It was also the second time she has won the honour. “I was humbled because I feel that in the country we work very hard, we don’t have the people to access like the city where there’s lots and lots of people,” she told NewsWeekly. “But our girls work very hard in their commitment to providing a fantastic product that cares for people and the earth.” ENJO has a wide range of microfibre cleaning products. “We like to say it’s a lifestyle,” Darleen said. “It eliminates the need for chemicals and detergents. “There’s solutions for inside and outside the home, including personal care items.” Darleen’s role is to turn “great customers into great consultants”. “Our consultant base comes

from customers that love the product and feel they want to go and share that and earn an income from it,” she said. “So initially I will get their training under way, give them the support and skills to get going, and then I’m their first point of reference throughout their journey.” Darleen embarked on her ENJO career a decade ago armed with the knowledge that the products worked. Since that time the environmental consciousness of people has also grown. “I had that belief … so the determination was to just keep getting it out there and the more people that wanted it then your confidence grows as well.” Darleen can be contacted on 6059 8516 or 0403 470 670.

WHETHER an elderly person should continue to drive is one of the most hotly debated issues within families. Most people respond to questions about their ability to continue driving with immense hostility – no matter how tactfully it is put to them. Yet it is not just an issue of the wellbeing of the individual driver but their responsibilities to other road users as well. In 2006, Queensland, introduced “Jet’s Law” after a tragic motorway accident. In that state an individual can no longer wait until it is time to renew their licence to report a long term or permanent medical condition that adversely affects the ability to drive safely. As soon as the condition develops, or as soon as there is an adverse change to an existing condition, individuals need to take steps to inform

Queensland Transport. But it should not be a matter of worrying about the law. Rather think about your own safety To help you to keep driving as long as possible consider the following: Choose a car that is light and easy to drive. A small automatic car is easier when you are a bit frail or have an injury. Use appropriate back supports to minimise strain. Make sure your garage door is easy to open and close. When the time arrives that you really do need to surrender your licence be honest about yourself and what you can and cannot do. Be honest about why you are so upset, you may need to address those issues. If you fear loss of independence, choose a home where services and

shops are available without a car and you’ll be independent long after you’ve stopped driving. Avoid a crisis by ensuring that you know how to get to places by taxi and public transport before you need to. You can get a lot of taxi rides for less than it costs to own, insure and maintain a car. If you feel that driving is part of being an adult, remind yourself that some very fortunate adults prefer to be chauffeur-driven. Are you being realistic about whether to stop driving? When people of any age refuse to stop driving despite having an injury or impairment that could make them a danger to others as well as themselves, it is usually better to approach a professional about assessment rather than cause more friction within the family.

No shame in seeking help

URINARY incontinence in women is a significant health problem in today’s society. Simple and successful treatments exist but many women never access them. Continence Clinic Albury believes that one of the reasons for this is shame and embarrassment. With one in three women suffering from incontinence throughout their lifetime, this hurdle really needs to be addressed. Continence nurse advisor, Susan Smith sees many women each week that could have benefited from treatment long before now. Symptoms of urinary incontinence include: • Wetting or dampness on the way to the toilet; • Wetting or dampness with exercise, coughing or sneezing; • Urinary frequency; • Getting up to go to the toilet more than once a night; • Weak pelvic floor muscles; • Constipation and straining; • Vaginal prolapse; • Inability to empty your bladder. As a first line of treatment women are offered a treatment plan that involves conservative management of their problem, Ms Smith said. While surgery is one option most women never need to go down that path. Continence Clinic Albury can be found at 1144 Pemberton Street, Albury. Susan Smith’s telephone number is 6041 2677, of her email is: susans@reproductivemedicine.com.au

Tidings for a great spring T

HE Flowering Apricots sneak into the position of first blossoms for the season when they brighten up dull July days. If it is a weeping specimen you have in your garden the cascade of fluffy soft pink flowers covering every branch and twig ensures a traffic stopping display. Almond blossom follows in August, undeterred by the winds and rain that traditionally accompany the large pure white flowers. But well before winter breathes its last icy sigh, however, the prima donnas of the garden, the Magnolias, begin to slowly unfurl, bursting upon the stage in a hesitant, breath-holding early proclamation of spring. The older Magnolia trees in our district have to be some of the best and despite intermittent rain this year, they excelled; white, pink, wine and cream

coloured flowers in their various cupped or tulip forms have given a regal show in nearly every street. The passing parade is, of course, just gearing up and if we can turn our focus away for a short while, now is an opportune time to act upon some of the plans and promises we have made for our own patches for the near future. We are fast approaching the most frenetic time of the year for the vegetable gardener. Over the last few months we have carted in horse manure (as stable mulch), dug it into the beds and left it to settle down in readiness for the tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, corn, lettuce, basil, eggplants and pumpkins that will be planted once the threat of frost has passed. There’s still time

STUNNING: “Black Tulip” is one of the newer Magnolias to grace Border gardens. to prepare beds for summer vegies and a new patch will benefit from the addition of any organic material-compost, soil from where the wood heap has been for 50 years, the decomposed old hay or straw from the bottom of the hayshed and of course whatever animal manure can be shovelled up, though it is a good idea to leave chook manure for six months prior to using as it can burn if used too fresh. Spread and dig in some lime for the future tomato crop to help ward off the problem of blossom end rot. Seed of most vegetables can be put in now or plants from punnets put into individual pots with potting mix for a few weeks to get them going. Any spent vegetable plants for the winter

Riesling - It’s worth another try! Winelovers PERSPECTIVE WITH

PAUL MUNTZ

iesling is one of the most extraordinary grapes style that is unquestionably of high quality and one of the great white variety “aristocrats”. For some unfathomable reason its popularity has been “patchy” for decades. In her marvellous treatise Vines Grapes and Wines Jancis Robinson MW (Master of Wine … or should that be Mistress?) describes Riesling as being “ludicrously unfashionable” – she can’t work out the reason why, either. Here in Australia, we have had (at last count) approximately four Riesling “revivals” since the early 70s. The first came with Australian winemakers mimicking the German style, leaving residual sugar in their Rieslings and creating a slightly sweet style which quickly fell out of favour. In the late 70s, German Rieslings were all the rage in Australia and I recall a memorable tasting put on by my wine group which was exclusively German Rieslings of every style imaginable. Then came along the Austrian wine scandal, when a rogue producer decided that a touch of antifreeze in the vat would add a bit of “weight” to his rather thin vintage. Overnight, that single act decimated the German wine industry (which is mostly based on Riesling) and there was a corresponding abandonment of the style back here in Australia. Personally, I thought the antifreeze was a good idea as it would help you get out of bed easier on a cold winter’s morning, but obviously my wine drinking friends didn’t agree. Since then, we have had the odd “flutter” of enthusiasm but for some obscure reason, Riesling does not seem able to get any “traction” in the market place. By the way, that is not a bad thing if you are a Riesling lover – the price of high quality Riesling is ridiculously low, and is likely to stay that way while faced with steep competition from other white wine styles.

So where is it grown? Indisputably, the home of Riesling is Germany where it thrives on the picturesque slopes of the Rhine and Mosel Rivers. Germany produces a vast range of Riesling styles, from bone dry through to richly sweet, and those styles have wonderful names like Spaetlese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. German Riesling is made under a very strict set of wine guidelines which are rigorously enforced, more so since the Austrian “antifreeze” scandal. The Riesling vine is hardy and thrives in virtually any wine area from Russia to New Zealand. Unusually, it seems to take on the character of its planted area, so that a South African Riesling is utterly different to one from, say, California, even if the same Riesling clone has been planted.

Riesling in Australia German immigrants first brought the Riesling grape with them to South Australia, where it thrived in the Barossa and Clare/Eden Valleys (which still remain the benchmark areas for the grape). That said, amazingly the grape has done well elsewhere in unexpected areas, where dedicated winemakers have produced quality Rieslings despite the odds. Examples of this are Rieslings from the Canberra region (notably from the Helm vineyard), King Valley (Christmont), Mansfield (Delatite) and Nagambie (Mitchelton), to name just a few.

“Winemaking isn’t a matter of life or death – it’s much more important than that!” Leo Buring 1876 - 1961. Different names – confusion reigns! The popularity of Riesling in the 60s and 70s was not aided by the proliferation of wine styles which used “Riesling” as part of their description. In California the grape is called “Johannisberg Riesling” and in Australia and New Zealand “Rhine Riesling”. However, there is also “Hunter River Riesling” (which is in fact the Semillon grape) and years ago (but not now) we also had “Clare Riesling” (which was the Crouchen grape, and also used for the grape Colombard). In California there was “Sonoma Riesling” (made with Sylvaner grapes) and in South Africa “Cape Riesling” and “Paarl Riesling” are used for Crouchen. Little wonder the drinking public, thoroughly dissillusioned, abandoned the Riesling style. But these days, with Riesling being less popular and the label “police” being more vigilant, there is little mis-description – basically if you buy a bottle of Riesling, you are likely to be getting just that.

Wine styles In Oz Just like Germany, Riesling is produced here in Australia in a variety of forms. It’s natural acidity lends itself beautifully to late picked styles, and Riesling avoids the “boiled lolly” sweetness of “stickies” made from grapes such as Semillon and the like. Riesling does not have any oak treat-

If you are wanting to stay I had the remarkable experience in “safe” I think it best to stick around the recent years of trying a 1982 Yalumba “Pewsey Vale” Riesling that had been placed Barossa, Clare and Eden Valleys in South Australia – it has been said that there is under screw cap during that early “flirtation” no such thing as a bad Riesling from these period when the industry tried out Stelvin areas. Otherwise, stick to the cool climate closures (and later abandoned them). The Rieslings from other parts of Australia screw cap was intact and the wine, although including the names I mentioned earlier in showing the complexity of age, drank with this piece. all the freshness of a two or three year old I cannot think of a grape that has been wine.

However, it was not an aroma that everyone enjoyed, except the Riesling “die Next week: Wine and Health – A bottle a hards”, and thus will not be missed, I am day keeps the doctor away? sure.

Food matches At the risk of getting shot down for my views, I have a firm opinion that Riesling is a lunch time wine rather than for evening consumption. Its lightness and fresh crisp acidity make it a stand out style for quaffing over lunch on a warm day. The quintessential food match with Riesling is King George Whiting, now regrettably approaching the price of prime eye fillet. But promise me that if you head to Adelaide (home of said Whiting), make sure that you grab a plate full or two of this magnificent fish and wash it down with a 5-10 year old Clare Valley Riesling – as a food/wine combo, it just doesn’t get any better! Apart from fish, Riesling lends itself to all sorts of light dishes such as omelettes, lighter chicken dishes and egg or vegetable based flans and tarts.

Which ones to buy? Where do I start? In Australia, the

My Own

TWO FEET

WITH

ROBYN FLEMMING

’M now back in New York, where I’m faced with the daunting prospect of getting in good enough shape to run the New York City Marathon on November 7. I have a training program, but I also need training partners – especially for the long runs that are an essential part of preparing to run 42.2km. I miss the support network I was lucky to have in Albury, so I’m in the process of cobbling one together here. Luckily, the apartment I’m renting on the Upper West Side is located right on Central Park, which offers running routes of various distances at my doorstep. On my third day back in the city, I did two runs. The first was 8km of a planned 20km solo run. To try and make up the shortfall, I fronted up that night for a run with the New York Hash House Harriers (www.hashnyc.com). Visitors to a Hash run are always warmly welcomed. The starting point for the run was Central Park South, so I expected to spend another hour or so exploring the park. But true to Hash form, the trail took the couple of dozen runners in a completely unexpected direction. For an hour we followed white chalked arrows through the streets of midtown Manhattan, including through building lobbies and parking garages, during the early evening rush hour. It was a novel way to revisit the area that

encompasses Times Square and Broadway, Bryant Park (until this year the home of New York Fashion Week, which has just finished), the New York Public Library, the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building and on down to 14th Street, where the trail led to a bar and post-run drinks. There were some familiar faces from the Hudson Dusters, the team I run for in New York. A regular running buddy is Tamar, who conveniently lives just 10 short blocks north of me. We were on the same team last year for the 12-person, 320km Green Mountain Relay in Vermont. Tamar is a faster runner than I am, but I’m lucky that she’s happy to run 10km a couple of mornings a week at my pace. Another piece in the jigsaw puzzle that is my running schedule is Val. A fellow member of the Dead Runners Society (which I’ve mentioned before in this column), Val works at a hospital on the Upper East Side. We have started meeting at least once a week at around 7.30am, when she finishes her night shift. For up to an hour we run on the bridle path that encircles the Jackie Kennedy Onassis Reservoir in Central Park, so named because Jackie O used to run here. One morning this week, while I was waiting for Val to arrive, I saw two young men running in place, side by side, at the main entry to the park near the Frank Lloyd Wright-

designed Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. In perfect unison, their feet pushed alternately off the concrete curb and the roadway, creating a rhythmic, hypnotic sound. They were dressed identically: shirtless, to show off their lean brown torsos; khaki shorts to just above the knee; running shoes. In their right hands they each held a dark blue shirt. Dark, curly hair – picture early Michael Jackson – framed their heads like halos. The sight made passersby smile. “I thought I was seeing double,” one woman said to me, as I sat on my park bench watching them. When Val arrived, and we walked over to the bridle path to start our run, I looked across at them and raised my right thumb in a salute. They raised their right thumbs in return. Was it running ... or performance art? The smaller field that competes in my age group in events organised by New York Road Runners means I sometimes have a chance of an age group placing, depending on who else turns up on the day. My new pal Marie can generally be expected to win our age group if she has entered a race. Last week, I contacted her through a mutual friend from the Hash and invited her out for coffee. Marie is described by some members of the Hash as a running machine.

But it’s not always about her: she is a running coach and also volunteers as a running guide for blind runners. This past weekend, I ran the New York City Marathon Tune-Up event (29km, or 18 miles) organised by NYRR. I needed to start doing some really long runs, in addition to the shorter morning runs I’m doing with Tamar and Val. I was fortunate to have the company of my Hudson Dusters pal Heather for the whole distance. Although the tune-up – three circuits of Central Park – was a timed event and was conducted like a normal race, we ran it at a comfortable pace and talked the whole way. Next weekend I’m participating in the Fifth Avenue Mile. This iconic event will be followed a week later by a half marathon in Hershey Park, Pennsylvania, sponsored by Hershey Chocolates. I’ll give both events my best shot, before completing one more very long run and then tapering for the marathon. I really enjoy the social aspects of running. I feel a little more confident now that, with the help of friends old and new, I may start the New York City Marathon in November with some expectation of finishing it and having fun along the way.

Ready for the glory of spring From page 15 I know that it has nearly been too wet to be digging but if Gladiolus are to flower for Christmas, then the corms do need to go in as quickly as possible. If old chicken manure is not available then organic chicken pellets can be mixed with the soil as Gladdies thrive on the more alkaline manure. When the Dahlias are creating a stir in late summer and autumn, many of us declare that we will enjoy some in our own gardens next year. From now until Melbourne Cup, the tubers of these flamboyant plants can be planted. Drive a sturdy tomato stake in with each clump for tying the multiple stems up as they grow. These are no fuss plants – a well drained spot, compost and old manure dug into the soil before planting, a regular deep soaking in summer and a deep layer of mulch will guarantee success. Dahlias have been favourites forever but with a wonderful choice of flower shape and form, many new colour ranges and the introduction of varieties with burgundy or nearly black foliage, they have taken a lift in the popularity polls these last few years. They fit into a mixed border so well but many gardeners give them a bed of their own, and for picking their flowers are among the best. Lastly and most importantly, check on the mulch in

the garden and decide if more should be added. Summer does seem to be a while away but just to get a new supply in readiness will be one less job later and once done, you can succumb to the wiles of the beckoning spring and rest a while on your laurels.

A delightful climber

Although it is an annual, the Mina Lobata is an interesting old-fashioned climber

that flowers in the later warm months. It deserves to be more widely grown as it is easy to raise from seed, sown now. It is a gentle grower, and the long racemes of rust and cream coloured flowers will attract the eastern spinebills into your garden in the autumn. If the usual seed stands don’t have Mina, then the New Gippsland Seed Farm in Silvan and 4Seasons Seeds usually stock it.

By BLAIR THOMSON AUSSIE songstress Sarah Blasko will take a break from her European music assault to tour Australia, with a show at the Albury Entertainment Centre on October 6 the first on her list. The acoustic indie pop darling has spent the past eight months in the UK, where she hopes to raise her European profile and craft songs for her fourth album. “It’s pretty early days ... it takes a while for people to get to know you and know your music, but things have been good, I’ve had some really good responses to the album and played some really good shows,” she told NewsWeekly with a slightly British accent. “I’d like to record a new album next year, so I’ve started writing that. “It just feels like it’s time to make a new album.” Blasko takes a quite unique approach to writing her songs, and feels she has nailed down a style that’s entirely her own. “You always start with a mood and a feeling, and from there you try to craft words,” she explained. “When I was starting, I was trying to find my voice a bit, and I feel much more comfortable with my voice and what I want to do now. “To begin with I was doing a lot of collaboration but now I’m mostly writing on my own. “But I think my style has kind of changed … I guess I’ve probably got clearer about the kind of things I like. “I’m really happy with the way things have just slowly developed.” That development started in her teenage years, growing up in a highly religious family. Her parents were Christian missionaries and members of a Pentecostal church which eventually

became the controversial Hillsong ministry. Blasko came to find faith in the freedom of artists like Kate Bush, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey and Nick Cave. “I guess when I was around 16 or 17 and I thought I wanted to be a songwriter,” she said. “I started listening to a lot of bands that were really about self expression and not all about being a perfect singer and I think that really made an impression on me at that point. “I went to university to study English literature and film but I never really thought that would take me anywhere in particular ... I thought I might have got into journalism or something, but there’s never been anything that I’ve been as interested in or passionate about.” It’s that passion that has seen

her become one of the most popular female artists in the country. She won the Best Female Artist award at last year’s ARIA’s, and for Best Pop Release in 2007. Her last album, As Day Follows Night, also won the J Award for Australian Album of the Year. While she will always be Australian at heart, she’s currently enjoying life in the seaside town of Brighton in England, known for it’s lively art scene. “I think being in Brighton’s really nice, it’s an arty seaside town ... it’s just got a nice feel to it,” she said. “There’s always just so much good music coming out here. “Things are really going quite well.” She will play her 23-date Australian tour before returning to Europe in November. Catch Sarah on October 6.

CD Review Artist: Lizz Wright Album: Fellowship

LIZZ Wright has an interesting mix of spiritual music and gospel tunes on her new album, Fellowship. Her amazingly powerful voice, which has a tender and comforting quality, proves that Wright is a highly talented performer able to tackle a number of different styles, and excel at them all. Fellowship is best described as an exploration of faith. Wright tackles religion from a number of different viewpoints and seems to suggest that deep thought, reflection and questioning is required to attain true knowledge of the world, with lyrics giving rise

to interesting thoughts and ideas to the listener. Fellowship, which borrows a few verses from Bob Marley, sets the mood for the record with a grooving, soulful swing.

They were guided through the process of developing the works over the past three months by talented local artist Janene Castillo. To mark the opening the young artists put on a short performance before all the costumes and puppets went on display. The singing group Musicability’s Wild Choir provided musical support for the evening and added their special touch to the Wild Side theme. The exhibition is free and will conclude on Saturday, October 9.

Albury Wodonga’s new guide to real estate ~ First on Friday! Friday September 24, 2010

A fresh, new alternative

THIS issue sees the launch of a new property guide for real estate buyers and sellers in Albury Wodonga. The new guide is supported by both the REIV and REINSW and is branded realestateVIEW.com.au, the industry’s own national online property listing services. In addition the guide will also include a New House and Land section covering that sector of the property market. We welcome the input of Enzo Raimondo and Tim McKibbin the CEOs of the REIV and REINSW respectively. The columns from both Enzo and Tim will ensure that local vendors and real estate agents will be up to speed with all the industry news. It is our objective to ultimately provide the marketplace with the best local guide to real estate and property sales and to support the

local real estate industry, sellers and buyers. For many years now there has been only one option for agents and vendors and we believe that a section targeting the core population of Albury Wodonga and with very affordable rates will provide a much wanted alternative. However our capacity to deliver competition is dependent on advertising support from local vendors and agents. With this in mind we have put together some advertising packages that offer great value. realestateVIEW.com.au will provide local agents and vendors the opportunity to double the value of their marketing budget. With advertising rates signiﬁcantly lower than Domain, agents and vendors will now have the opportunity to advertise with larger ads, for a longer frequency to a

bigger local audience – greatly increasing the potential of a faster and more successful sale. realestateVIEW.com.au is offering as an eight-week introductory package of full page colour advertisements at $550 + GST per page. Following the eight-week period the rates will rise to $650 + GST per page – making large ads affordable to all property sellers. Combined with the 39,500 copies of NewsWeekly being distributed each week into Albury Wodonga, vendors can now double the value of their property marketing budget to ensure the prospect of a fast and successful sale. Breaking old habits always takes time but some of the most experienced and established local agents and property developers are already using NewsWeekly’s realestateVIEW.

Agent’s Choice

They include Alan Hodgson, proprietor of Wodonga Real Estate who states: “We have advertised in NewsWeekly since its launch. We love it, our ads stand out and that is great. “On top of that, the fact that NewsWeekly gets into a lot of letterboxes in the marketplace on Friday is a real plus for our vendors.” Barry Hutton, proprietor of Hutton Real Estate in Lavington also says, “Basically we looked at the distribution and NewsWeekly now has more copies distributed than The Border Mail, particularly in our core market area. “Secondly, it is more cost effective so we can offer our vendors greater exposure for their property and, thirdly we like the idea of being in the market ﬁrst on Friday. “This allows people to plan their inspections and open homes well in advance.

A credit to its only owners

THIS delightful home is presentation perfect both inside and out and is an absolute credit to its owners, John and Jan Rogers, who have owned the home for the whole of the 11 years.

This beautiful home offers three bedrooms, main with ensuite facilities provided by the two-way bathroom and walk-in robe.

Family home in a rural town

OLD world charm and a large dose of elegance provide the perfect combination for this four bedroom home situated in a popular central location in Tallangatta. The home has been lovingly maintained by its current occupants. From the moment you enter the front door you can feel that it is a true family home in every sense. The four bedrooms are complemented by a large lounge and separate family room, a second shower and toilet, along with a single carport and lock-up garage. The fourth bedroom could also be utilised as a sewing room or study.

Gas heating and split system cooling ensure you maintain your levels of comfort all year round. The well appointed kitchen, complete with ample cupboard space, also includes a walk-in pantry and has been freshly painted. Once again, there is ample cupboard space in the laundry. The single garage also has room to accommodate a workshop. A well established garden will also appeal to green thumbs, while the roses at the front of the home are “pretty as a picture” when in bloom.

If you’re tired of seeing the same properties listed week in week out, then it’s time to switch to realestateVIEW.com.au. With easy to use search features and powerful mapping, realestateVIEW.com.au will help you find new and unique properties that aren’t listed on any other site.

First on Friday!

You always speak to the boss By PAT KOOPMAN A VERY personal and professional service are the cornerstones on which Barry Hutton and Nigel Horne have built their Lavington-based real estate business. Mr Hutton established Hutton Real Estate three years ago. They are uniquely situated in that they can provide their clients with hands-on service. “I ﬁnd that when you’re working for someone you’re always doing it to their way of thinking,” Mr Hutton said. “To be able to go and offer your vendors a service that you don’t have to base on someone else’s thinking and decisions … you can make your own decisions to suit the individual vendors ... gives you a greater advantage. “We can offer a very professional service and a very hands-on service because there’s Nigel and myself, and we’re controlling the business.” Mr Hutton said the real estate market was steady after having peaked about two years ago. “It’s probably dropped back a little bit since then, but it’s holding steady

now and I think that there will be no signiﬁcant change in real estate prices in the foreseeable future but the market will hold steady,” he said. Mr Hutton spoke of the advantages of advertising through NewsWeekly’s real estate guide. “Basically we looked at the distribution and we ﬁnd now that it’s getting a bigger distribution than The Border Mail … that was reason one,” he said. “Reason two was it’s more cost effective so we can offer our vendors greater exposure through it. “Number three, we like the idea that it comes out late on Thursday for distribution on Friday which allows people to plan their inspections and open house visits well in advance. “In the couple of weeks that I’ve been advertising the response to my open houses and inspections has been fantastic.” Mr Horne, who joined Hutton Real Estate as a partner 12 months ago, echoed Mr Hutton’s sentiments in regard to their personalised service. “The bottom line is buyers are dealing with the decision makers,” he said.

“Whilst we may consult with each other, which is normal, we’re the ones making the decisions. “So there’s no ﬁltering of information or miscommunication. “It is much more personal, people can walk in here, sit down and have a chat.” Mr Hutton has been in the industry for over a decade. Together, they have a wealth of experience in the real estate industry. “Having been in the industry … this is my 15th year … you tend to have a groundswell of people that have dealt with you and want to continue dealing with you,” Mr Horne said. “Quite often they will follow you or they will come back to you and it’s very pleasing. “Just recently I leased a property where the owners were tenants of mine about six years ago. “They came to me and said ‘we know how you dealt with us, that’s how we want things done now’.” Mr Horne said it was pleasing to see people who were his clients going from renting to owning.

ONE of Albury’s most expensive properties is again on the market. The property at 730 Fellowes Crescent (above) was bought by its present owners for $1,700,000 in 2006 (source: PriceFinder.com.au) and is due to go to auction on October 16. Gabrielle Douglas of Zelle is the selling agent in conjunction with Andrew Dixon of LJ Colquhoun Dixon. The property was compiled and developed by Curt Leonard, a then senior executive of the Mars family’s Uncle Bens at Wodonga before he sold in June 1999 for $1,100,000. FOR landlords who need to know how changes to the Residential Tenancies Act in NSW could make life difﬁcult then an information seminar next Thursday, September 30, may have the answers. Stockdale&Leggo Albury (6023 7400) can help with details of the seminar planned for 6pm at the Commercial Club. IF anyone is keen to get into the real es-

tate game then they have an opportunity to get a running start by acquiring the Elders Real Estate franchises in Albury and Wodonga. Geoff McGilvray at Elders (0400 935 435) is taking expressions of interest. It helps to start up with an existing rent roll and the support of the national Elders network. THE power of competition is amazing! It is no surprise then to see The Border Mail aggressively discounting advertising rates to counter NewsWeekly. Now Fairfax is a huge gorilla when it comes to comparative size and depth of pockets so they can afford the heavy discounting. However it is worth speculating on where those rates would be if NewsWeekly was not in the market. So take advantage of the new market rates, but remember to also support the local business that is creating the competition.

What does median price mean?

HAVE you ever wondered that the term median house price means? According to the Real Estate Institute of Victoria the median price is the middle price in a series of sales. For example, if 15 sales are recorded and arranged in order from lowest to highest value, the eighth sale price is the median price. In the case where there are an even number of sales in a series, the median is the average of the middle two prices.

Median prices are used rather than average prices because median prices are unaffected by a few unusually high or low prices, making them a more accurate indicator of true market activity. The lower quartile is the point where one quarter of the sales are of lesser value and the upper quartile is the point where one quarter of the sales are of a higher value. Median prices are a guide to market activity, and the REIV does not intend for

median price measures to be regarded as a valuation tool. The assessment of an individual property’s value is a job for a qualiﬁed professional. The REIV is acknowledged as the major source of authoritative research data and analysis on the Victorian real estate market. A key element of this research is the median price surveys of residential properties in Melbourne and major regional centres which are released quarterly.

CELEBRATING: Falcons men celebrate after their grand final victory. Picture: PAT KOOPMAN

Sports GOSS WITH

TREVOR JACKSON

BORDER cyclist, Rhys Pollock has added to his growing list of quality performances by coming home in third place at the gruelling Tour of Tasmania. Confronted on the first day in Strahan by snow, sleet and buffeting winds, Pollock rode two solid stages to take the lead in the race. He led for three days overall before being separated from his team with only one member left to aid him. With strong teams attacking him he was looking for help from other teams who didn’t step up so he settled for his position and continued through the hilly terrain. Pollock was hoping to win at least a stage during the race and exceeded those expectations with his final placing. “Overall I’m fairly pleased with the result,” Pollock said. “Once you get the lead and you’ve had it for a few days you start to talk about how you’re going to keep the jersey in the team. “It’s disappointing when you lose it but at the end of the day to win a stage and get third overall is a good result.” IN hockey both the men’s and women’s minor premiers, Falcons and Norths, have claimed their respective premierships to cap off a great season. Norths women were dominant all game to claim the title 5-0 against SS&A Magpies while Falcons men narrowly defeated NASC Wombats 2-1. The men’s final was expected to be onesided but grand finals rarely seem to run that way. Wombats came out very controlled in their approach, giving Falcons very little space to work in. Both teams were able to set up penetrating attacks in the first half and it was only solid defence that prevented either team finding the back of the net. It wasn’t until the 14-minute mark of the half that Jason Russell was able to flick the ball past Wombats keeper, Ben Hooppell, to give Falcons a one-goal lead going to the break. The second half was as tight as the first with both teams on the attack, NASC unlucky not to score from a couple of forward forays. Falcons also had their chances, and Gareth Hoddinott added to their lead when he was able to thread the ball into the net from a position near the base line. Wombats had a good chance to pull a goal back when a long ball into the shooting circle went just wide of Tim Hartwich’s outstretched stick. With two minutes remaining in the game Jacob MacVean was able to convert a penalty corner opportunity to make the final score 2-1 in favour of Falcons.

For the women, in a repeat of the semi final, Norths had more depth to call on than SS&A as both teams lost players through injury and the State League finals. Norths got the jump on Magpies and after just four minutes were able to force a penalty corner that was converted by Leah Wilesmith. Norths had the larger amount of possession in the first half but SS&A were able to repel all their attacking moves and held the score to 1-0 at the break. Norths again scored early when Angela McDonald converted a penalty corner variation to take their lead to 2-0. With Norths starting to take command of the game SS&A began to feel the pressure and with 15 minutes to go Tori Watts scored from another penalty corner. Another goal came a short time later when Alison Hovar found herself with just the keeper to beat and after luring Danielle Martin off her line was able to push the ball into the net. With just 30 seconds left in the match Hovar found herself in a similar situation and was able to beat Martin’s desperate dive to post her second and make the final score 5-0. VERY light conditions faced competitors in round one of the Albury Wodonga Yacht Club’s Commodore Trophy and club championships series over the weekend. This created difficulty for all boats involved testing the ability of the crews. Ten boats took to the water ranging from trailable yachts to off the beach boats. The sailing proved to be very competitive with some close finishes resulting. Heat one of the Commodore’s Trophy saw Jeff Stirling skipper Live Wire across the line just in front of Donald Thomson on Impressions and Wes Ward aboard The Grey Ghost. You could have thrown a spinnaker over the three competitors, such was the closeness of the race. With the wind shifting markedly for heat one of the club championships Paul Ransley skippered Joint Adventure to a win in the trailable yachts division in front of Terry Caldwell’s Pisces with Herman van Ree coming home in third. In the off-the-beach boats division Donald Thomson managed the win ahead of Wes Ward with Mitch Harris aboard William Tell taking third place. Ransley also took top spot in the handicap series with Ron Peel skippering Raptor to second, Caldwell and van Ree coming home in equal third. With new names popping up in the placings, the season is shaping up to be hotly contested and should provide plenty of action for sailing fans. Those interested in trying the sport are very welcome to attend and see if they can be placed in a boat as a crew member. Have a look at the club’s website for contact details at www.awyc.yachting.org.au. Don’t leave it too late.

Junior riders show potential on track WINNER: Stuart White in action.

Forest the top setting

PEDAL POWER: Border junior cyclist, Ruth Little in action at the Noreuil Park cycling criteriums. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON By TREVOR JACKSON STAND out junior performances and brilliant spring weather was highlighted in Noreuil Park on the weekend when Lavington Panthers Cycling Club held a series of criterium events as part of NSW bike week. A full program of events was staged from a Kidz BMX class right up to under 17 men and women. The event attracted riders from the Border region, Wangaratta and included a big turnout of Wagga riders. The races were based on the criterium format with timed and lap numbers to be completed over the cordoned-off road circuit. Competitors faced scratch races to give them times for later handicap events with some great results coming across the board. “One of the ﬁrst races on the day was the little kids, the novice BMX class,” club secretary, Russell Smith said. “They are our future stars … it was a fun race just to see the determination on their faces. “One little bloke, Seb, had a smaller bike than the others and his little legs were really

pumping … he just never gave up.” Seb Laws ﬁnished third in the scratch event behind winner, Fin North and second placed Mattea Little, but turned it around in the handicap section to take the honours. Mr Smith said all races were hotly contested and noted the additional riders from Wagga added an extra spark of competition to the day. “Wagga is a very good club, a very strong club,” he said. “They do very well at state titles so it was very pleasing to see a strong representation from them. “Parents are keen to get their kids more racing experience and see how they stack up against others in the region so it was good. “Both Wagga and our local riders fared well against each other.” Another notable performance for the day was under 15 Border rider, Ryan Allen. Due to a lack of numbers in the under 17 class he was asked if he’d like to contest that class to have an extra ride. He proved to be more than capable of mixing it with the bigger boys and ﬁnished a credible second in the scratch event.

Mr Smith considered under 15 girl, Kirsty Deacon to be one of the outstanding riders for the weekend. “She’s a national level triathlete and has come to our club to learn a few more bike skills,” he said. “It was her first criterium race and she wasn’t sure what to do. “She and her mum came and asked before the race what she should do and I was more than happy to give her some advice. “Hopefully we can get her along to a couple of weekend rides where she can learn the finer points such as bunch etiquette and taking turns and those sorts of things. “But she listened to what we had to say and she followed the instructions quite nicely.” Kirsty won her first event, the under 15 girls scratch race from Wangaratta rider, Nicci Clark and Border rider, Bec Thomson and went on to take out the handicap race with the same placings. Overall Mr Smith said the event ran smoothly and was hopeful of holding similar events utilising the Noreuil Park venue in the future.

From back page White’s winning time gave him a 2½ minute margin over second-placed Julie Gollan-Foard. Competitors were faced with a 3km, run followed by 12km on the bike before finishing with a further 3km run. The idyllic setting in the forest meant competitors were free from traffic, only needing to dodge a large mob of kangaroos to remain in contention! The bike leg saw four laps of a forest track with a reasonable hill towards the end of each lap making competitors work hard to maintain a good time. Peter Kudec said it was good to get the new season under way even though the mountain bike format was a little different to the normal duathlons and mini triathlons the club hosts. “The feedback we had from a couple of members who don’t normally do that kind of racing was really good,” he said. “It’s a great starter event for the season.” He said mountain biking was an important part of core training, very beneficial to triathlon or any sport requiring that core body strength. The junior section of the event covered a shorter distance but showed the younger members of the club are keen to be involved in the sport. Best for the juniors was Benjamin Megson. Another good performance was by Kirsty Deacon, someone who Kudec described as an up-and-coming junior. Kirsty managed an eighth place finish overall. The club now looks to its Allen’s Flat location for future events with two duathlons set down prior to the first of the mini triathlons. The Allen’s Flat duathlons utilise road bikes rather than mountain bikes and should be a good lead-up to the triathlons to follow.

Little athletes ready for another top sesaon

By TREVOR JACKSON ALBURY Little Athletics Club kicked off its new season last weekend with a registration day for those interested in the sport. A good turn up heralded a positive season for the club, with organiser, Cynthia Power, happy with the attendance. “We generally get a membership of over 200,” she said. “It’s great for the kids to be out there and be active. “Sometimes the other team sports take over because there’s so much to offer in the region but we ﬁnd a lot of the kids are still keen as far as keeping up their team sports and athletics. “They go hand in hand,

athletics keeps them ﬁt for their other sports.” The club is one of three in the region with Wodonga and Jindera both having little athletics clubs, creating a great competition base for the children. “We’re quite fortunate to have that diversity,” Mrs Power said. “Occasionally we have open day carnivals between the three clubs where we can all come together. “We also have what’s called a Border Challenge cup that’s held in November and will be held at Wodonga this year.” The club has been in operation for around 25 years and offers a whole range of

track competition for budding athletes from high jump to discuss and javelin. “We run relays that will be held in Seymour this year,” Mrs Power said. “We ﬁnd that’s good because it brings the kids together as a group. “Athletics can be a very personal sport but this brings them together and they get that camaraderie and that team environment.” The club also offers members the opportunity to progress through to regional and state level competition. Albury Little Athletics runs Saturday mornings from 8.30am at the Alexandra Park track.

ON TRACK: Emma Hoopell, Natasha Anderson and Riley Power are happy to be back at the track.

Jubilant Tigers are in the record books GOAL: Nan Latta scored a goal.

Strikers move up a rung By TREVOR JACKSON ALBURY Wodonga Strikers women’s hockey team took out the grand final for the Victorian state league division two competition on the weekend. The team defeated a tough Altona side, 2-1, which had previously beaten the Strikers three times throughout the season. These included a 3-2 result in their semi final match-up. Despite the pressure of facing an undefeated team the Border girls went out hard but struggled to contain a determined Altona who opened the scoring to take a 1-0 lead. The Strikers, held their composure and stuck to their game plan, exploiting the weaknesses of their opponent. “We played really well,” coach Nan Latta said. “We put a lot of pressure on them in defence, trying to force them to make mistakes. “After they scored the first goal we just held our composure and put on a couple of goals to take the lead.” With the score at 2-1 going to the break the Strikers needed to continue to apply the pressure and hold out Altona’s attempts at goal in the second half. This was achieved via a great effort in goals from Jocylin Bartram. “She managed some brilliant saves,” Latta said. “They have some very talented strikers but she was the difference between the two teams. “Their goalkeeper wasn’t as strong.” The win has now elevated the Strikers to state league one for next season, something Latta said they had been working towards for the whole season. “I think we’ll do it tough next season but we only lose one player, and the way the girls have grown this season, anything is possible,” Latta said. Kathryn McInerney will be leaving the team now that the season is over having played 150 games for the Strikers. Fittingly she scored one of the two goals for Strikers, Latta scoring the other. Other than that the team will be unchanged and Latta said the aim in reality was to stay out of the bottom two to remain in division one. The girls are now looking forward to a break from hockey before beginning preparations for next season.

ELATION: The Albury Tigers players celebrate their second consecutive grand final victory after receiving the premiership cup. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON By TREVOR JACKSON WHAT an entertaining day it was at Lavington oval for the grand final of the O&M last weekend. The perfect weather saw the ground in impeccable condition providing the platform for a top quality game. Many footy fans, including myself, thought Albury were a shoe-in for the flag but Yarrawonga had different ideas and everyone in attendance was treated to a thoroughly entertaining grand final. Of course the Tigers got home by 10 points, 13.11-89 to 11.13-79, but it was certainly no easy going affair. From the first bounce Albury seemed to be on the ball with fast movement around the ground but not quite able to convert that to any kind of decisive lead, just a point separating the

two teams at the first break and fans were on edge. The physicality of the game was a stand out feature with bodies being placed on the line and tempers flaring as a result. By the long break Albury had taken a two goal lead and seemed poised to break the game open. Going into the third the Pigeons really needed to pull something out but again it was the Tigers that attacked and managed five goals in their premiership onslaught. The writing seemed to be on the wall at the third break, Albury having the ascendancy by four goals, but no-one told Craig Endie, and his boys came out in the final quarter determined to make a fist of it. They booted four goals to the Tigers’ two and had they been a little more accurate – an additional five behinds showing their dominance –

they could well have rolled the favourites. But it’s all over now and the Tigers have gone back to back, taking a Pigeon pair, with two wins over Yarrawonga in as many years. Matthew Fowler kicked four goals for the victors, and Andrew Carey added three with Craig Ednie managing three for the Pigeons. In the reserves a similar situation took place, however Albury was far more dominant, taking the game by 36 points from Yarrawonga to give the Tigers real reason to celebrate. In the thirds, Wodonga Raiders managed a comfortable 97-61 win over the Alpine Eagles. In netball Yarrawonga made amends, taking the grand ﬁnal by a strong 12 points from Wangaratta Rovers. The B grade saw a tighter game with Albury Tigers taking the win with a nail biting 39-38 score while in the C grade North Albury comfortably accounted for Lavington 56-44.

Antone bridges gap with big performance

FLYING: Some of the action at Diamond Park on Sunday.

By TREVOR JACKSON PEARSON Antone has powered through a big day of dirt bike racing with three wins in three separate classes during Sunday’s round of the Albury Wodonga Motorcycle Club’s championships at Diamond Park. In an impressive display of riding Antone managed victories in the premier 450cc class, the unlimited class and the over 35s class. Despite this top performance, club vice president, Joel Mallett still leads both the 450cc and unlimited classes for the season. Mallett said the day’s racing was well attended by members of the Border club with a wide range of racing on offer from pee wees right up to the open unlimited riders. “Junior numbers were really good and senior numbers were a little bit down but still enough to run all the classes,” Mallett said.

“The premier class in Australia is the 450cc so we run that but we also have the unlimited, which is any size bike providing you’re a senior rider and the over 35 class. “They’re generally parents of the younger riders who put on a bit of gear and get out and have some fun.” In the junior events the 65cc seven to under 10 age group saw Patrick Ceh take the weekend’s honours to remain in the lead for the series, with Mason Fuller coming home in second and Aden Clare ﬁnishing third. For the 65cc 10 to under 13 division Jahkai Nelligan took the overall win with Iilish Ross taking second to remain in top spot for the season. Dale Bonet came home in third place. For the 85cc nine to under 12 Jahkai Nelligan took another win with Adam Garoni placing second to hold onto the lead in the series.

Dale Bonet again finished third. A small field for the 250cc 13 to under 16 division saw Gahge Nelligan take the honours from Jack Guinery, who currently leads the series. Of course it was Antone who stole the show in the senior divisions with Mallett holding on to the series lead in the 450cc and unlimited classes. Owen Ross is the series leader in the over 35 division. Mallett said the club was going along well but is always looking for new members. “We’ve had a good turnout so far this season with enough competitors to run all our classes but we’re always looking for members,” he said. “This season we’re running four rounds of the club championships and we hope to go to five or six next season.” Anyone interested in the club can check out their website at www.awmcc.com.au

By TREVOR JACKSON IT was a case of son taking on dad when the Albury Wodonga Triathlon Club held its first event of the season on Sunday. Although they were racing in separate sections young Cobey Kudec did his best to keep his dad, Peter, at bay when they met each other in the cycling leg. Cobey, in his second season with the club, finished second in junior section of Sunday’s event. After switching from little athletics to triathlon last year Cobey won the sub-junior section in his first season. Peter Kudec, who is the club’s media person, said his son was enjoying the challenge of the sport. “I don’t know if he understands what he’s getting into yet, but I try keep it all positive and ensure he has fun.” Sunday’s racing had featured a change to mountain bikes which had proven quite popular. In the seniors Peter White set a cracking pace, finishing with a time of 57 minutes, seven seconds. The duathlon was held in the Chiltern Forest. The event was to have been the second in the series but the first round was rained out a couple of weeks ago. Continued page 46
