Hear good yarns and help a top cause By PAT KOOPMAN THE Border community has the chance to make a difference in the lives of ill children and their families. The Rotary Club of Wodonga has appealed for support for a sportsman night and auction dinner to be headlined by former Australian cricketer Rodney Hogg. The night will aid the Ronald McDonald Family Room at the Wodonga Hospital. The family room is joined directly onto the maternity ward and families who have an ill baby in special care nursery can make use of the facility. Overnight accommodation has been available since March. Rotary Club of Wodonga member Ian Shirley said the whole purpose of the event, to be held on Saturday, October 30, was to raise funds for the family room. “The club had a meeting at the venue there and it’s brand new,” he told NewsWeekly at this week’s dinner meeting. “While someone is in hospital they can go and have a sleep, freshen up and go back and attend to their children or whatever. “It’s a very important thing for some of the people.” Rodney Hogg played 38 Tests for Australia and took 123 wickets at an average of 28.47. “He does a lot of commentary, so he’s up with whatever is happening with the cricket,” Mr Shirley said. He will be joined on stage by other speakers, former AFL umpire Scott McLaren, AFL umpire Chris Kamolin and 2008 Mr Olympia, Tim Martin. “Scotty McLaren did the (2008) Hawthorn-Geelong grand ﬁnal, which was a great clash, so he has a great story to tell,” Mr Shirley said. The night will be held in the Banksia Room of the Commercial Club. Tickets cost $80 per person with discounts for tables of 10. Tickets are available from Ian Shirley 0411 063 807, Donna Shirley 0411 063 821 and Lorraine Lawry 0417 586 017.

PICTURE PERFECT: Milla and Liberty Nichol from Albury are just two of the many people who have been enjoying the beautiful spring sunshine on the Border lately. And with perfect weather forecast this weekend, it’s the perfect time to head down to the park or fire up the barbecue. The abundance of water in Lake Hume and the Murray is also good news for fishermen and those brave enough to try swimming. Picture: ROD HARDINGE

Applying the heat By BLAIR THOMSON

BORDER councils and local cancer groups are again putting the heat on federal politicians to fund a regional cancer centre. Border oncologist Dr Craig Underhill met members of the Alliance of Councils and Shires of the Upper

The NewsWeekly – Albury Wodonga’s locally owned free weekly newspaper

Murray, which includes Albury and Wodonga councils, and representatives from the Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation to discuss the push for the cancer centre. Dr Underhill is conﬁdent the Border will secure funding for a cancer centre from the $1.8 billion recently announced for regional

health by the federal government. A submission for the new cancer centre will be made under the new round of funding. “I guess it’s important that the community knows that we’re intending to apply and that it’s an ongoing process, and I’m very thankful for the broad support we’ve been

receiving from the community,” Dr Underhill said. “I think our chances are high, the case is very strong, and we hope to be successful under this funding, and if not, we hope to be successful under general state and federal government funding.

Children’s fair to draw 15,000 By BLAIR THOMSON THE Wodonga showground and racecourse will be a scene of fun and excitement on Sunday as the Wodonga Children’s Fair celebrates its 21st anniversary, with up to 15,000 people expected to attend. The main drawcard for the event will be characters from the action adventure show BEN 10, with a live stage show to get young minds racing, plus a chance for kids to meet and greet characters Ben, Gwen and Four Arms after the performance. The fair will also have roving entertainers and stilt-walkers, a giant bungee tramp, a Wild Action Backyard Biodiversity Show, art, and The Amazing Drumming Monkeys. Young local entertainers will also show their creative talents through music

and dance during the day. The Wodonga Calisthenics Academy will show why it won recent awards at the state championships in Melbourne. The group’s principal, Penny Clearly, said performers as young as three would be at the fair. “We’ve got people from age three to 26 in different age groups that are all performing,” she said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to get out there and show what callisthenics offers and show their skills.” Wodonga mayor Mark Byatt said he expected the event to be brilliant. “It will be an outstanding event … hopefully we can look forward to some beautiful weather to enjoy the occasion,” he said. The free fair runs from 10am to 4pm.

From page 1 “I think it’s been a stable case, for the centre to support patients right across the region. “And with the alliance group, all the councils across the region are supporting the initiative.” Chairman of the Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation, Eric Turner, said letters had been sent to several federal members of parliament asking for support for the cancer centre, and that several people were eagerly awaiting responses. “The letters have gone out to the ministers about two weeks ago, so we’re just waiting for answers from them,” he said. “Everything that we’ve done has created a situation of hope, because if we don’t remain active, then there will be no hope, and the encouraging part about it is the $1.8 billion now available. “We have written to the councils to support us by writing to the ministers as well ... the meeting today afﬁrmed that that is what will happen. “We’ve been meeting on a regular basis, and we will continue to do that.” Dr Underhill said both the NSW and Victorian health ministers had thrown their support behind the cancer centre. “We have support from both state health ministers, in terms of letters of support and public statements of support,” he said.

By BLAIR THOMSON CONSTRUCTION of the new aquatic centre at White Box Rise is expected to begin in the ﬁrst half of next year, with concept plans for the $11.2 million facility unveiled earlier this week. The initial design includes a 50m by 25m heated outdoor pool, a toddler pool, a splash pad fun area featuring water jets, a cafe and a meeting room. The area surrounding the pool will also have shade sails, trees, and an inclined grassy spectator area. Wodonga mayor Mark Byatt said the new centre would be a vast improvement on the Stanley Street pool which was built in 1958. “It’s quite modern in its thinking and quite modern in its equipment, with some focus on environmental aspects with reduction of water and energy usage, which I think is an important aspect,” he said. “We’re looking at a different size pool, it’s heated, it’s got a ramp access for more accessibility. “We can provide greater programs in there, and I think the fact that we’ve included a splash pad, which is essentially a play area, will prove to be pretty popular, as will the water play equipment which we’re still to ﬁnalise. “The new pool will allow us to increase our activities and cater for some state events, and we’re looking forward to the outcome.” The council will work with user groups and designers Williams Ross Architects to create

Applause festival set to bring new life to city centre

Buskers hit streets

By BLAIR THOMSON ROSES to remember those touched by breast cancer will be planted at the Belvoir Park Celebration Rose Garden in Wodonga on Saturday. Bravehearts on the Murray volunteer Anna Speedie said people were invited to plant a rose at the garden. “The gardens have been built by volunteers and this is the ceremonial part,” she said. “It’s a celebration of the lives of people who have been touched by breast cancer. “We’ve got 150 roses to plant, and even if people just want to come down and have a look or a chat, that’s fine.” For more information contact Anna on 0417 138 938.

“We’ve got a full program, a packed program,” event co-ordinator Glenys Atkins said. “We have got seven guest artists and around 30-35 festival buskers. “So it’s a fabulous mix of the amateur and the professional performers, as well as we’ve got the circus skills workshop and showbags … there’s lots of free activities for the kids.” Ms Atkins said the festival appealed to a wide variety of

performers and audiences of all ages. “We have young performers, as young as nine, who have been learning the guitar and singing for a year or two,” she said. “We have three festival busker sites and they’re all manned by an MC. “They have a bucket and collect audience rewards. Audiences are incredibly generous to the young ones, which is fabulous.” It is the festival’s ninth year.

“Our focus is very much about keeping it as something people want to participate in and come to,” Ms Atkins said. Dean Street will be closed off between Kiewa and Olive Streets between 11am and 4pm. There will be activities all through this area. As well they will spill into QEII Square. Performances will then be concentrated in QEII Square from 4pm to 6pm. 492086-KC38-10

By PAT KOOPMAN ALBURY High School student Clare Jones will be among up to 35 buskers who will perform in Albury Central’s 2010 Applause Festival. The festival buskers will be joined by seven guest artists when they hold centre stage on Saturday, October 16. It will be the second time Clare, 16, has performed in the festival. “It’s just such a fun event,” she told NewsWeekly. “You can just bring your family and everyone has such a great time.” Clare has been singing all her life. “I like performing and just to have so many other performers around you, it’s just such a great atmosphere,” she said. Clare has added the guitar to her musical repertoire, which also includes “a little bit” of piano, harmonica and ukelele. She generally likes to perform well-known songs, such as pop songs, but also has a secret love for jazz. The festival was launched at the Albury Entertainment Centre last week.

WODONGA business, Hampers 4 You, has just signed an agreement to include Beechworth Honey products in its hampers. The hampers showcase the North East’s gourmet food and wine, making it easy for people to send this fine produce to their family and friends. Hampers 4 You owner, Karen Daglish said the business idea came when she found she was regularly making up hampers of local produce to take when visiting family and friends.

Street harvest shares bounty By BLAIR THOMSON WITH warmer weather and more sun the Border is springing to life, with fruit and vegetables set to boom in back yards in coming weeks and months. But according to Catherine Byrne, founder of the Street Harvest project, the sheer volume of fruit and vegetables grown here means much of it ends up going to waste. Instead of letting that produce rot on the ground and attract fruit flies, Ms Byrne figured it could be collected and used to help the needy. “I was looking at my neighbours’ yards and wondering why they weren’t picking their fruit,” she told NewsWeekly. “I though that I needed to get some money together to start the street harvest project.

Come and help

“The idea is that we encourage neighbours to share or swap any excess produce with each other, but if they do have lots of excess, to donate it to emergency relief, places like the VicRelief Foodbank and it gets distributed to other agencies, like the Salvation Army.” A tonne of fresh produce has already been given to VicRelief, located at 1 Nilmar Avenue Wodonga, since the project began about six months ago. “It’s about getting communities to work together, neighbours to talk to each other and getting the fresh fruit and vegetables to people that need it,” Ms Byrne said. “The major thing is getting volunteers, but if we can’t get volunteers, we hope people will still pick the fruit and drop it off, or we can pick it up. “The tonne we’ve received would have just gone on the ground, so that’s just great.” There are now five cooking groups that use the produce, including Wodonga TAFE, which has a special program that cooks specifically for emergency relief. Ms Byrne hopes more volunteers will join the group. “We need a push on volunteers,” she said. “There’s about 14 registered houses that donate the fruit and vegetables, but there’s also lots of people who drop off here that aren’t registered. “During summertime, we’re looking at all sorts of donations, like tomatoes, zucchinis … there’s always excess in people’s gardens.” She also hopes to expand the project into other towns. “Towns of any size can get into it … we’ve developed a kit which will hopefully go right around Victoria, which tells people how to start their own street harvest,” she said. “We’re quite pleased with how it’s all going.”

“Our family live away, so whenever we would go to visit them, I would make up a hamper of local produce to thank them,” she said. “I enjoyed sourcing the gourmet food and wines that I thought they would enjoy and the business idea came from this.” Beechworth Honey’s Jodie Goldsworthy said the hampers were a good fit for her business. “The hamper market is a competitive one where high quality is expected,” she said.

Making our lives richer YOU have to take your hat off to those people who selﬂessly volunteer their time to their respective communities. Included in this week’s edition of NewsWeekly are a number of classic examples. The Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to pressuring those responsible for a “one stop” regional cancer centre for the Border. Letters have been sent to various Ministers in the past fortnight seeking their support in this matter. They will continue to up the ante in a campaign which is designed to help improve a dire situation for us all. In another act of community selflessness, the Rotary Club of Wodonga is looking to raise funds for the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Wodonga Hospital. A sportsman night and auction dinner will be held on October 30 to raise

funds for this important family facility. It is a chance for the Border community to help make a signiﬁcant difference in the lives of ill children and their families. At the other end of the scale, but just as important, is a “Big Night In” to be held on Friday, October 15. Planned by university student Cassie Bates, the event will raise money for cancer research at the Border Medical Oncology Research Unit, as well as raising awareness of the disease. And on the sporting front, organisers of the Albury Wodonga Insurance Institute Charity Golf Day on Friday, October 22, are looking to raise $5000 for local charity, Faith Hope and Dreams Inc. Also, the Flutterby Foundation has organised a fundraising day on November 5 to raise funds for the Albury Base Hospital children’s ward. All projects are worth our support.

Plans for controlling the anticipated locust plague in NSW are well advanced and are being communicated to farmers. The Plague Locust Commission, farmer groups and government departments have detailed how they plan to control the outbreak. Landholders are an essential link in the campaign as ground control of locusts is a more efďŹ cient and cost effective method. Locust hatchings have started and will continue through October. I urge all landholders to do their part by being vigilant and reporting hatchings immediately to their local LHPA. Insecticide is available and farmers should prepare equipment so action can be implemented without delay. By working together to control the locust threat, we can do our best to ensure this season fulďŹ ls its potential to be the best for many years.

Schools study waste

492199-KC40-10

THE Halve Waste schools program will be launched this month in primary schools in the Corowa, Greater Hume Shire and Albury Local Government areas. Halve Waste has partnered with Keep Australia Beautiful and the Riverina and Murray Regional Organisation of Councils (RAMROC) to provide waste education to nine schools. Those involved are: Albury West, Thurgoona, Corowa, Corowa South, Mulwala, St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Primary, Brocklesby, Mullengandra, and St Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran School. The workshops titled the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wide World of Wasteâ&#x20AC;? will target ways everyone can contribute to the Halve Waste campaign. Wide World of Waste is one of the modules offered by KAB under a primary schools education program, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waste Watchersâ&#x20AC;?.

EXCHANGE: Hannes Olaison, Kicki Thiman and Henrik Mang Bjorklund in Albury on exchange. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON

Students on exchange By BLAIR THOMSON STUDENTS from across the globe have visited Albury to gain an insight into Australian farming practices. The 27 students from Canada, Germany, Denmark, England, Sweden, Norway and France were given an introduction to Australia, learnt about farm safety, had a talk from local police, and were told about Australian wildlife during a introductory seminar at Lake Hume Resort. They will stay with host families in the local region and beyond for the next six to 12 months. Kicki Thiman from Denmark hoped the trip would be the experience of a lifetime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been listening to the dangerous species of

animals that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not to pick up or get bitten by,â&#x20AC;? she said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also marked on a map where each of us live, because when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from Denmark, Victoria is huge, absolutely huge, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon to travel two hours to see a friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just hope to have an experience for life, and I hope to get really good at milking cows.â&#x20AC;? Victorian chair of the International Agricultural Exchange Association, Wendy Maloney, said the exchange would be invaluable to the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great experience for the kids â&#x20AC;Ś they learn how to farm and get that hands on experience,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the knowledge they learn in Australia back home, and hopefully take home some great memories as well.â&#x20AC;?

Giving girls confidence boost

YOUTH: Co-ordinator Laura Sheridan is hoping for a group of around 20 girls, aged 12-13, to take part in this month’s “Girls Day”. Picture: PAT KOOPMAN

By PAT KOOPMAN ZUMBA, games, relaxing, goal-setting and a barbecue are just some of the activities that will take place at a “Girls Day” to be run by Wodonga Council’s Youth Leadership Program participant Laura Sheridan. Titled “Marvellous Me” and coordinated by Laura, the day will be held on Saturday, October 16, at the Felltimber Community Centre from 11am to 3.30pm and is aimed at girls aged 12-13. Laura said she joined the program because it seemed like a great opportunity to learn some new skills and meet people. The 19-year-old, who is currently on a gap year, also wanted to do more with herself than just work this year and the program provided the perfect opportunity to do so. Her project involves running a “Girls Day” for early teenage girls.

��

“I didn’t really know so much about project management and just what’s involved behind it … the time and things like the planning and risk assessments,” she explained. She is looking forward to getting back into study next year and implementing some of her new found skills. Laura is hoping for a group of around 20 girls to participate in the day. No cost is involved, but numbers are limited and registration is essential. For further information or to register your interest, please contact Laura via email at marvellousme@hotmail.com.au or phone 0438 317 028. Laura’s project is supported by YWCA and Border Trust through the Young Women Leading Change Grant.

“This kind of day is just to give girls a chance to come together, have a bit of fun, relax, meet a few new people and learn a few new skills,” Laura told NewsWeekly. This will hopefully help them to make the transition from primary school to high school, assist with good self esteem and self confidence, according to Laura. “Just generally feeling good about themselves,” she said. Laura said it was planned to keep the day structured, but as open as possible. Other activities on the day will include discussion relating to personal strengths, managing relationships, and image pressure and misconceptions. Laura said her involvement in the Youth Leadership Program had helped her to develop many new skills.

Fire chief says a simple inspection could prevent disaster

Check out the barbie

THE stage is set to wipe off the dust and brush away the cobwebs and have your antiques and collectables valued tomorrow (Saturday). A valuation day will be run by the Albury and District Historical Society, in conjunction with AlburyCity, from 10am4pm at the Albury LibraryMuseum. Valuer will be Elizabeth Stevens, an antique dealer from Antiques and Collectables on Radio 2UE. She is a specialist diamond valuer and gemologist. Among the many items expected to be presented for valuation will be artwork, jewellery, old artefacts, family heirlooms and pieces of china. The day could well unearth a “hidden treasure” which has been left to sit idle for years and years. Items could also reveal a history that could well prove to be intriguing. Cost per item for valuation will be $4. For further enquiries, phone 6021 6529.

AWARE: Station officer Simon Huggett with firefighters Bridget McCloskey and Ron Baroni at the barbecue in the grounds of the Albury Central Fire Station in Mate Street. “They should keep the barbecue on a firm level base sheltered from wind gusts and well away from anything flammable.

SUMMER is time to dig out the esky and fire up the barbecue. But just how safe is your barbie? How long since you have checked the gas bottle and all the hoses and fittings to ensure there is no possibility of a gas leak and fire? For most of us this is something that generally does not cross our mind. But for Simon Huggett the station officer at Albury Central Fire Station, barbecue safety is on his list of priorities. He says now is the time to give barbecues, that have probably been sitting unused for months, a proper once over. “We want to ensure that family events do not end in tragedy because something went wrong with the barbecue,” he said. The NSW Fire Brigade has issued a checklist for ensuring barbecues are always safe. High on that list is regular checks of gas bottles to see they are not rusted or damaged. All hoses should be checked for damage or signs of perishing. And all fittings should be checked for gas leaks. A simple way to do this is to spray suspect connections with soapy water. Bubbles will form as gas is escaping indicating it is time to replace the fittings. Station officer Huggett has also urged people to use common sense when using the barbecue. “People should always comply with fire restrictions,” he said.

Jamie kicks off seniors’ month

Relaxed lifestyle proves a winner

PACKED: There was hardly room to move in the Wodonga Civic Centre as Jamie Redfern kicked off the Senior Celebrations. By BLAIR THOMSON WODONGA’S Senior Celebrations kicked off with a bang on Monday when almost 500 oldies enjoyed a free concert by 1970’s singer Jamie Redfern at the Wodonga Civic Centre. The founding member of the Young Talent Time show and former Liberace touring partner played a range of classic songs including What a Wonderful World, We’ve Only Just Begun and an Elvis medley, and shared stories from his career and jokes with his audience. There was also plenty of crowd participation as the singer walked through the aisles of the Civic Centre and met his fans. The celebrations will continue throughout the month of October with ﬁtness days, art exhibitions, learning classes, exercise activities, a Caulﬁeld Cup race day and plenty more. Wodonga mayor Mark Byatt said the Senior Celebrations were getting better each year. “It’s a pretty action-packed month of October for us all,” he said. “This is the the tenth time that we’ve run the seniors festival and I think it’s got better each year. “We’ve got in excess of 50 odd activities and workshops … I think it really makes a statement about our seniors and their contribution to the community and their ongoing contribution to our community. “Our community is made up of many layers, of which seniors are one very critical component.” For more information on the Senior Celebrations pick up a brochure from Wodonga

By PAT KOOPMAN ALBURY Lifestyle Village threw open its doors on Monday when it hosted an open day. Up to 200 people took up the invitation to inspect the Springdale Heights complex. A free sausage sizzle and music by the Ethanol Bros added to the atmosphere. Albury Lifestyle Village is an award winning resort for people aged 55 and over. “A month ago we won the Best Village in NSW awarded by the MHIA,” Albury Lifestyle Village sales manager Colin Barrow told NewsWeekly. “We were up against 50 other villages and absolutely thrilled to bits that we won it, particularly given it was our ﬁrst year. “I don’t think another village has ever won in its ﬁrst year, so it says something about the place.” Mr Barrow said Albury Lifestyle Village offered residents a “fantastic lifestyle”. “We can offer them really good value for money, beautiful homes … really well equipped homes. “Particularly if people are prepared to downsize and are happy with a house that is large enough for a couple, with a grandchild or relatives visiting occasionally.

STAR: Jamie Redfern was a hit with the audience.

“Have your gardens looked after … have all the facilities here like bowling green, heated pool, gymnasium and movie theatre … fantastic fun.” Mr Barrow said the privacy of residents was highly respected. “If you want to be part of the village and part of the activities you can be, if you want to take a day off or a year off people don’t mind,” he said. “They are quite happy to let you do your own thing.” The gated village provides a safe and secure lifestyle, according to Mr Barrow. “We’re pet friendly, we make it easy for people to come in and buy into the village. “It’s a very small deposit to have a house built. “We can coincide that with the sale of people’s houses, so that their new house here is ready when their house is sold.” Mr Barrow said if people did decide to move out of the village, no exit fees were involved. This, he said, made it ﬁnancially very attractive. “So coming in is cheap, living here is cheap and moving out is cheap,” he said. “In the meantime, while you’re here, you just have a fantastic life in a nice part of Albury.”

Elderly more at risk of ﬁre

Bright in spring will dazzle you

THE elderly represent more than 30 per cent of fire death victims. And those over the age of 65 are nearly three times at risk of a fire fatality than the rest of the community. So while summer is not a time normally associated with house fires Albury fire chief Simon Huggett says it is never the wrong time to talk about fire safety. Station officer Huggett from the Albury Central Station wants to remind the elderly of the importance of working smoke alarms. He says elderly people who have trouble replacing the batteries in their smoke alarms can take advantage of a NSW Fire Brigade service to do the work for them. The SABRE, smoke alarm battery replacement for the elderly, program has fire brigade members visit the homes of those who do not have family relatives or friends to help them and replace smoke alarm batteries. Mr Huggett said people in this situation should ring their local fire brigade for assistance. “Arrangements can be made for firefighters to visit the person’s home and either install their smoke alarm or replace smoke alarm batteries,” he said. “At the same times firefighters can provide smoke alarm and fire safety tips, and hopefully help ensure they do not have a problem with fires in their homes.” It’s a service worth using.

BRIGHT is always a pleasanst place to visit and there is no better time than during the Bright spring festival. The 22nd festival festival runs from October 22 to November 2, and showcases all the region has to offer. Festival president Maureen Beattie says visitors will be dazzled by the colour and the birdlife, and the people with their warm, friendly hospitality who are proud to show off their region. “The local restaurants will tantalise your senses with delicious local seasonal food, some with a taste of France or Italy and even Mongolia,” she said. “We are very cosmopolitan in Bright catering for all ages and tastes.” She says visitors should consider local wineries for cool climate wines and the locally brewed beer to tantalize your senses. “The focus upon seasonal slow food is a delicious way to laze away a beautiful spring afternoon or evening in the company of good friends,” she said. “This year we are fortunate to have Angus Stewart from ABC’s Gardening Australia holding workshops in some of our delightful open gardens as well as Patrizia Simone from the famous Simone’s restaurant. “You may like a walk in the high country to see the spring wild ﬂowers or ride your bike along the bike track, or a pleasant stroll along the beautiful Ovens river.” For more information about the events during the festival go to www. brightspringfestival.com.au

Foot Health Month...

NewsWeekly – Albury Wodonga’s locally owned free weekly newspaper

Foot care vital to our overall health

COMFORT: Ross Evans finds the correct fitting for Barbara Chomatek.

Good fit is essential WALK a mile in any shoe and you’ll soon discover how comfortable it is. A correct fitting shoe offers more than just comfort, in many cases being a necessity for the health of the wearer. Those who suffer from such health problems as diabetes find a good fitting and comfortable shoe paramount to their health. Young children need to be fitted correctly because at an early age the foot doesn’t mould the shoe, the shoe actually can mould the foot. Therefore it’s important to seek a retailer who is dedicated to providing a quality shoe to fit your specific requirements. Evans shoes, a family business that has been operating for 113 years and has been established in Albury for 14 years, is dedicated to fitting their cus-

tomers properly, not just selling shoes. “We’re passionate about our ﬁttings and making sure that ﬁt is paramount,” Ross Evans said. “We also like to have a close relationship with our podiatrists that work in town.” Over the course of Foot Health Month Evans will have podiatrists in store at certain times to discuss any issues customers may have. Brands such as Kumfs, (now know as Ziera), and Hush Puppies are among quality brands at Evans Shoes. The old saying, ‘you get what you pay for’ is never more pertinent than in the shoe industry, providing that money is spent on quality rather than status. Evans Shoes will be happy to answer all your questions about good shoes.

PREVENTION: Podiatrist Jess Laws takes a plaster cast of the foot of Josh Nelder, 4, during a regular foot check. “MY feet are killing me.” How often have you, or someone you know, said this? Foot pain is not something anyone should put up with, according to Wodonga podiatrist Mandy Taylor. As part of Foot Health Month being promoted by the Australian Podiatry Council, Ms Taylor wants us to stop taking our feet for granted. “Many of us think that foot pain at the end of the day is normal, when it is not,” she says. “The fact is that foot pain is not normal and is something that can be treated. “It might be something as simple as ensuring the shoes you wear are right for you through to getting orthotics ﬁtted.” Ms Taylor, who operates Wodonga Podiatry with Jess Laws, says podiatrists specialise in everything to do with the feet and lower limbs, including wounds, sprains and fractures. And she says that while many

of us realise the importance of foot health as we age – especially for those who develop diabetes – children too can gain from a visit to the podiatrist. “Parents should remember that children do not limp for no reason,” she says. “If a parent is concerned about the gait of a child they should seek advice rather than just hoping the problem will go away.” Ms Taylor says children’s feet continue to develop until at least 10 years of age. A child’s feet will grow about 9mm a year between the ages of five and 12. “Shoe and sock sizes should be checked at least 1-3 months up to the age of three, every four months up to five years and every six months from five years of age,” Ms Taylor says. Getting the opinion of a podiatrist does not mean you will be pushed to buy expensive shoes. “It is important that a child’s foot

be measured for length and width when selecting footwear,” Ms Taylor says. “What is important is that whatever shoe you buy actually ﬁts your child’s foot.” And if you wonder why podiatrists believe we need to pay more attention to our feet consider the following: • Our feet house a quarter of the bones in our body. • Working feet can cover more than 20km in a day. • In our lifetime our feet can cover more than 100,000km. • By the age of 50 our feet have lost up to half their shock-absorbing ability. • The feet account for 20 per cent of rheumatoid arthritis and 35 per cent of stress fractures. As part of Foot Health Month in October all Border podiatrists are keen to give advice on any problems or queries people may have with their feet.

THROUGH her involvement in the Wodonga Council’s Youth Leadership Program, La Trobe University student Cassie Bates is putting on the slumber party of the year. The “Big Night In” will raise money for cancer research at the Border Medical Oncology Research Unit, as well as raising awareness of the disease. Cassie would like to help contribute to the building of the proposed $65 million cancer centre in the area and is calling on the community to support her. She said it is an issue she feels very passionately about. “Everyone has the right to the same health services and health opportunities, regardless of where they live,” Cassie said. “It is important to add value to the lives of cancer sufferers and their families who are also affected.” Originating from Melbourne, Cassie can now see the disruption that can be caused to the lives of sufferers and their families in having to travel to the major cities for treatment. Cassie has been a participant of the Youth Leadership Program since early May, along with six other participants. Throughout the program, participants have had the opportunity to listen to different speakers covering a range of topics and skills sessions, aiming to provide them with an understanding of the qualities and skills that make up a leader. Participants were encouraged to utilise the skills they had learned through the investigation and development of a community project, reflective of a community need. The “Big Night In” will be held on Friday, October 15, at 7pm in the function centre at Birallee Park (Wodonga Raiders Football Club). People can either pack their pyjamas and stay the night or just come along and show their support during the evening.

Crabapple floribunda – simple but beautiful blossom.

Simply gorgeous.... Gardening GURU

WITH

ROBYN GIBBS

HILE the sheer beauty of the Weeping Cherries has been known to cause drivers to nearly run off the road as they strained to exclaim at a front garden feature, it is the flowering crab apples that, over a six week period, will actually compel a driver to pull over and simply stare. This is a small tree with great depth to its showiness; yes, individual flowers, typically apple blossom like, do present as rather fragile and delicate, but

when massed over every branch and twig the effect is one of strength and daintiness, a sort of rugged beauty that has much appeal to inland gardeners. Of course it is not just the far from frivolous spring blossom that makes the crab apple such an appealing small tree. In the rose family, Rosaceae, in the genus malus, it is the small fruit size that differentiates crab apples from the well-known large fruited apples even though not every crab bears many or even any fruits. The cultivar called “Gorgeous” is one of the best fruiting crabs with bunches of bright crimson-red small apples giving a delightful autumn show. Although it is not renowned for its spring display, the single white flowers making for an insignificant show, this is the

one to grow if crab apple jelly is desired. Hardiness has to be a vital attribute for any tree growing in our drought-affected times. Many an old apple tree grows by the roadside where a core was flung from a passing car and the crabs are no less tough than their large fruited brothers. They are at their best in our cold winters and hot summers, mostly disease resistant, and require little pruning. Their small to medium size too, makes them appealing. “Floribunda”, one of the first to flower with branches covering in pink buds opening white, is a rounded tree growing about 3½m high and the same width. “Aldenhamensis”, another very early flowerer, has a slightly more spreading habit to about 4m. This is a beauty when in full

show; the massed semi-double flowers are dark claret red. Summer foliage is deep green with purple tones and the autumnal fruit too, is a dark, black-red colour. Flowering latest of all the crabs, the “Ioensis Plena” is a broad spreading tree with a rounded crown to about 6m. The buds of this beauty are rosy pink, the double flowers opening white with delicate pink dusting on the petal edges. Its massed floral displays ensures it’s popularity both with the home gardener and civic authorities. Wodonga Council has lined a couple of roads with the “Ioensis” in recent years so come early to mid October it will be worth strolling along Chapple Street and the cemetery side of Melrose Drive to admire them.

Sunshine in a bottle ~ the wines of Winelovers PERSPECTIVE WITH

PAUL MUNTZ

F I had to pick a favourite season, spring would win hands down. It signals an end of depressive cold mornings out with the dog, and evening drives home in the dark. The season signals warmth, new growth and a sense of personal rebirth. The bad news? Time to get rid of the “winter coat” that magically seems to appear around the tummy – brought on of course by big heavy alcoholic reds washing down rich casseroles and creamy sauce pastas. The good news? The social calendar comes instantly alive with barbecues and long lingering lunches – the opportunities are endless for a return to “spring wines”.

The rites of spring Saying goodbye to winter means farewelling rich heavy wine styles and revival of thirst for lighter fresher wines. Warm to hot days and alfresco dining cry

MATCH: Old Aussie Riesling with Salmon Blinis.

out for chilled glasses of easy drinking grape varieties. New season asparagus begins to appear regularly at the table and the first spring lamb can’t be far away.

What DO I drink? Happily, the options are endless, but tailor what you drink to the occasion. Some options … • Sparklies For those of you with Beemers in the garage, there is no choice but Champagne. Choose non-vintage – it’s fresher, cheaper and (dare I say it) more “casual”. For those of us who are on a budget, an Aussie bubbly in the $15-$25 range is going to get you a pretty good slurp. If you feel adventurous, try a Prosecco from Italy (or from the King Valley near us) – it’s the Italian equivalent of Champagne, but heaps cheaper. • White wine Where do I start? The obvious head of the list is Sauvignon Blanc which, as well as being the perfect match to asparagus, can easily be drunk on its own. Look for the freshest wine (2010 is fine) from New Zealand and it is pretty hard to go wrong. For moi, the preferred tipple is Riesling from South Australia – if God has made anything better in white wine, he has kept it to himself. Riesling is a perfect lunchtime or afternoon style. Throw some Whiting in a pan on the barbecue and listen to the celestial choirs sing as you wash it down with a glass of crisp cold Riesling. There is of course always Pinot Grigio (aka Pinot Gris) but I guess that depends on your taste. If you are looking for something with a bit more “oomph”, look for a lightly wooded Chardonnay or if you are feeling adventurous, try a Spanish Albarino. • Rosé The beautiful salmon pink colours of Rosé make it a natural for a spring luncheon, with reflected soft light giving it eye appeal as well as fang appeal. And for the macho men that think Rosé is for girls, remember that it is actually made from red grapes such as Grenache and Shiraz. But it gets only a light contact with the skin pigments, so it comes out the other end with just a touch of pink. Rosé is perfect for pre-luncheon antipasti, or just for drinking on its own. • Red wines Weaning the boys off the big gutsy reds in spring can be a bit of a Herculean task. There is of course Beaujolais (made from

Gamay) from France, but for many of my mates it is just a touch too “woosy”. To wean them off the winter Shiraz, I prefer to look at Sangiovese (from the King Valley, or from Chianti from Italy), Barbera (again from the King Valley, or from Piedmont in Italy), or maybe Tempranillo (King Valley or from the Rioja in Spain). If the boys simply won’t drink anything but Shiraz, look for some leaner more restrained styles from Coonawarra, Heathcote in Victoria, or perhaps the Margaret River (WA), and try to get something with around 13%-14% alcohol. Before I forget – don’t forget to give the reds some fridge time before drinking. On hot days, 15-30 minutes is heaps, and don’t forget to then keep it in a wine cooler on the table (with just a smidgen of ice). • Stickies Quite frankly, I find myself steering away from sweet wines in spring. For some reason they just don’t seem to “fit” at lunch or a barbecue, and I think it better to plan a menu around savoury food to give the whites and light reds a bit of a “run”. • Muscats and Ports A bit like the stickies, I am afraid – just a

bit hard to do at a barbecue, if you are going to see out the day. (But I want to rush to dispel the urban myth that Ports, Muscats and Tokays go back in the cupboard over Spring and Summer. Definitely not! Keep a bottle of each in the fridge and they can be absolutely yummy on a warm night. If the temperature rises too much, just pour the Muscat over some ice cream!) So remember – spring is a time of revival and rebirth. Phone some friends and organise a long Sunday lunch. What about an Italian theme with lots of mates and conversation? There can be nothing easier than telling X to bring an antipasti platter, and for A, B and C to do pasta salads and some cheese to follow – as host, some magnificent stuffed veal rolls with tomato sauce, freshly baked from the oven, will help make it a memorable day. Who knows, maybe someone will surprise you with a sweet treat for the end of the meal, instantly reminding you that you have cold Muscat in the fridge for such an occasion … Next week: A Serious Look at Rosé – The Non-serious Wine

TWO FEET WITH

ROBYN FLEMMING

On the waterfront I

’VE been walking and running all over Manhattan, but this past week I made my way around its shoreline – or as much of it as was accessible on foot.

Day 1: Battery Park to Harlem via the Hudson River

My friend Tamar met me just after dawn at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, at the foot of Manhattan, to retrace in reverse a run we did last year. I fancied that the Statue of Liberty, visible from Battery Park, had her arm raised in a gesture of goodwill at the start of my journey along New York’s waterfront. After rounding the tip of the island, we ran north along the Hudson River. Across to our left was New Jersey. On our right, the new Freedom Tower is being built where the World Trade Center once stood. (On September 11, I came here to see the Tribute in Light, two vertical columns of light that, on each anniversary of 9/11, reach far into the sky.) A pedestrian/cycle pathway hugs the shoreline, forming part of the East Coast Greenway. In Tribeca, the trail joins the Hudson River Park, which borders Soho and the West Village and, further north, Chelsea. At 42nd Street, in Midtown, we were

joined by Ran, a CouchSurfer friend (www. couchsurfing.com) from Vancouver. As we approached the Upper West Side, it started to rain. The Greenway trail runs parallel to the West Side Highway, which restricts access to Riverside Park to those few cross streets with overpasses. Tamar left us at West 96th Street, and Ran and I continued running north – in the steadily heavier rain – to 125th Street in Harlem.

Day 2: Harlem to the Upper East Side via the Harlem River

My photographer friend Holly joined me for the second leg, a walk starting where I had ended my run at West 125th Street. A scenic pathway took us to the stunning George Washington Bridge, which spans the Hudson River in the Washington Heights area. Tragically, two people had jumped to their deaths from the bridge in the past week alone. There are wonderful views across to The Palisades, sheer cliffs that tower above the river. We detoured through Fort Tryon Park, home to The Cloisters art museum. At the top of the island, the Spuyten Duyvil (now closed) and Henry Hudson bridges span the Harlem River, linking Manhattan with the Bronx. Inwood Hill Park, which crowns the island, is allegedly where the local Indians sold “Manna-Hatta” (“Hilly Island”) to the Dutch in 1626 for a handful of baubles and trinkets. Our route then took us through a built-up area before we could rejoin the Harlem River at Swindler Cove Park, from where we walked south to East Harlem beneath the WashHARLEM RIVER: The Washington, Alexander Hamilton and High bridges. ington, Alexander Picture: HOLLY VAN VOAST

Hamilton and High bridges. Further south, where vehicular traffic predominates over pedestrian pathways, we again had to leave the shoreline. In Spanish Harlem, when I asked a slightly menacing-looking, hoodie-wearing youth for directions to the riverside esplanade, he couldn’t have been more helpful – or more polite. “You’re welcome, Miss,” he said, when I thanked him. You’ve got to love New Yorkers! The very attractive section of the riverside walkway south from East 120th Street provides views back to the Triboro Bridge, which links Manhattan with the Bronx and Queens, and across to Randall’s Island. The day’s walk ended at East 96th Street, where the Harlem River joins the East River. It had been a gorgeous day, and I even got a touch of sunburn.

Day 3: Upper East Side to Battery Park via the East River

I started the last leg, which I walked on my own, late the next afternoon. For four hours I battled a very strong headwind as I followed the East River Bikeway south. I was able to hug the shoreline almost to the Queensboro Bridge (also called the 59th Street Bridge), which crosses to Roosevelt Island and Queens. On Sutton Place, just south of 59th Street, there are a number of tiny parks that provide excellent views of the bridge. The area around the United Nations building has restricted access, and it wasn’t until I was down around the 30s that I was able to return to the river. Three of my favourite bridges are the Williamsburg, Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. I was especially happy to see them this night, as my feet were becoming quite sore and the wind was still gusting hard. It was also becoming dark. As I walked along the rather dingy streets beneath the bridges, I felt a tad vulnerable. South Street Seaport appeared like an oasis. I popped into the food court for a watermelon bubble tea that sustained me

for the last push past Wall Street and the Financial District, having missed finding my way on to the East River Esplanade. Suddenly, I was back at my starting point: the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Over three days – in rain, sun and wind – I had run and walked 50km or so around the shoreline of Manhattan. The total time was about 13 hours. Each May, the Shorewalkers group (www. shorewalkers.org) organises “The Great Saunter”, a walk around Manhattan’s rim in a single day. I don’t know how they do it! I used as a guide the book by Cy Adler, the founder of Shorewalkers, called Walking Manhattan’s Rim: The Great Saunter (available through Amazon.com). See their newsletter for other organised walks. 466589-KC25-10

Crab apples simply gorgeous From page 16 For a magnificent autumn foliage display, the very upright, narrow growing “tschonoskii” is one of the best. If spring flowers, white with a slight pink tinge, do happen, they are not showy. For planting where lateral space is restricted, this tree to about 7m is hard to beat. Growing upright like a pole, the Ballerina apple range includes the crab apple “Maypole”. This is a specimen to grow in the garden where an upright accent is needed or in a patio tub, and when in full spring splendour, the carmine flowers clothing the upright branches are stunning. Bronze foliage follows for summer and autumn brings large purple fruit. Highly decorative too are the tiny fruit of the variety “Golden Raindrops”. This Flemings introduc-

tion has finely textured foliage and a spring show of tiny white blossom on a vase shaped and elegant small tree. Other newer varieties of crab apples from Flemings include the 3m by 3m “Tom Matthews” which has vibrant dusky red flowers and bronze red foliage. “Strawberry Parfait” too, is already becoming popular with its deep red buds opening to fragrant, large single pink and white flowers. As with all trees, particularly during the early establishing years, crab apples do require mulching (though not against the trunk) and a regular deep watering. They are tough small trees but a little attention in the early years will set them up for a long life of spring splendour, autumn colour, shade and general delight.

GORGEOUS: crab apples make a fiery autumn show and beautiful jelly.

SHOW: Crabapple aldenhamensis giving a stunning show in the garden of Mrs Gloria Spencer.

Your last chance to see Powderfinger on Border

FINALE: Powderfinger will play one of their last shows at the Albury Sportsground on Wednesday, October 13. By BLAIR THOMSON WO of the biggest names in Australian music are set to play at the Albury Sportsground on Wednesday in what should be one of the most spectacular live shows to ever come to the Border. Jet will join Powderfinger on the Sunsets farewell tour, with a similar crowd to the 8000 that attended the band’s Border gig with Silverchair in 2007 expected at the October 13 show. Something For Kate frontman Paul Dempsey will also play tracks from his solo repertoire. But of course the biggest attraction on the night will be headliners Powderfinger, who are finally calling it quits after 21 years together. Powderfinger’s current tour, which began in September, is the band’s biggest to date. A quick look at the history of Powderfinger shows the sheer volume of brilliant songs the band has to its name. The group has sold more than 2.5 million albums and won 16 Aria awards amid critical acclaim. The Brisbane based five-piece band first gained the attention of the public with their second album, Double Allergic, in 1996. The album spent 10 weeks in the Aria charts top 10, and was eventually certified triple platinum, but it was the third LP, Internationalist, which really thrust the band to the forefront of the Australian music scene. Featuring singles including The Day You Come, Passenger, Don’t Want to be Left Out and Already Gone, Internationalist went on to win

492331-RMB40-10

four Aria awards for the band. The following four albums all reached number one on the charts, with My Happiness, My Kind of Scene, Love Your Way, Sunsets, Lost and Running, and All of the Dreamers just some of the many brilliant tracks created by the band. But after more than two decades together, which has more recently included whisperings of rifts within the band and breakups, the band members agree that the time is right to call it quits. “We have decided, after much deliberation and agonising, that after this final tour we will call it a day as a recording and touring band,” singer Bernard Fanning said in April. “With the completion of our last

album, Golden Rule, we feel that we have said all that we want to say as a musical group. “We firmly believe that it is our most complete and satisfying album and can’t think of a better way to farewell our fans than with music that we all believe in and also with, hopefully, our best tour to date.” The band has added additional shows to the Sunsets tour since announcing it in April, such has been the demand for tickets. Main support act Jet are also worth seeing in their own right. The rock act, formed in Melbourne nearly a decade ago, has sold more than four million records and sold out countless shows across the country.

CD Review Artist: Example Album: Won’t Go Quietly

THE latest release from UK hip-hop artist Example has a remarkably similar feel to the music of Dizzee Rascal and the slew of artists that followed on the coat-tails of Rascal after his success. It features 14 dancefloor numbers and endless boasting, bravado and self promotion from the 28-yearold rapper, who’s real name is Elliot Gleave, in his heavily-accented style. Despite the fact it “borrows” heavily from many artists before him without adding anything particularly revolutionary or innovative, it’s not too bad. His lyrics are a touch on the basic side and his delivery a bit stunted, but his producers have managed to create a nice electro sound,

especially on energetic tracks like From Space and Sick Note. Watch the Sun Come Up is another highlight of the album, telling the seedy story of a relationship while on holiday, with Millionaires the token slow, heartfelt number.

Albury Wodongaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new guide to real estate ~ First on Friday! Friday October 8, 2010

When experience counts â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have created a data base of something in excess of 4000 people or parties who have dealt with us. We entered the data base back to those that are currently involved with our company and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a number of 1100.â&#x20AC;? Mr Unthank said the biggest singular target market for properties in Albury Wodonga are people from rural townships and rural properties within the inďŹ&#x201A;uence area of Albury Wodonga. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest target market and we have direct access to 1100 of those people and that makes us different,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still maintain that our philosophy is rural property, rural lifestyle property and for want of a better word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;selectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residential property without sounding at all elitist in that matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve concentrated on this philosophy over the years and we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re branded along those lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re synonymous with rural property, rural lifestyle and (perhaps) lesser in the residential.

PRIME grazing land, complemented by a farm house which exudes rustic charm, provide the perfect combination for those looking for a simpler life. Away from the hustle and bustle of modern day stresses, but only minutes by car to the Wodonga CBD, this farming property also provides its owners with panoramic countryside views. The three bedroom, plus study, home is situated on 180 acres. The home needs some TLC, but an open fireplace in the lounge, â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesomeâ&#x20AC;? views from the kitchen, good size bedrooms and a bathroom with an old

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to emphasise that in our promotion from here in that we do sell a lot of residential property and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all select property that relates to our rural scene â&#x20AC;Ś 85 per cent of it.â&#x20AC;? Mr Unthank said the company underwent a change of philosophy in 1999. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We divided the company into two sections and concentrated solely on the marketing of real estate in one half of the company and solely on the marketing of livestock and general commission on the other side of the company,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In doing so we were always regarded as a rural property sales company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suppose in all fairness, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a longer company for that matter selling real estate or rural property in the southern region of NSW and North East Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably been as long as anyone if you combined the whole lot.â&#x20AC;? Situated at 597 Ebden Street, South Albury, the family business specialises in rural, residential, property management, livestock and clearing sales.

fashioned deep bath are some of the special features. The property has eight paddocks, with excellent fencing, while there is a dam, two bores and town water. It is evident the property has been a working farm throughout its history. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good shedding, complete with steel stockyards. One of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden treasuresâ&#x20AC;? is a good size workshop, which includes an old fashioned stove. Many hours could be spent just letting life pass you by while you tinker away at your favourite pastime.

Marketing a residential property is one of the most substantial business decisions that vendors undertake in their life. life . . . . . . It needs to be carefully planned and orchestrated to ensure that it is carries out properly. The marketing process is quite simple after the decision has been made by the vendor to sell. Most importantly all marketing processes should commence with the selection of an agent with whom the vendor feels most comfortable. Agencies in the main are all similar in that they are mostly all honest, have some degree of training and procedure and all offer similar charges but it is so important to choose an agency that has the experience and correct procedures that will assure the vendor of a satisfactory result. Brian Unthank Real Estate sees itself much different to the vast majority of agencies in that in addition to all the standard marketing strategies Brian Unthank real Estate specialises marketing residential properties to a huge rural client database. Brian Unthank real Estate is not a list, advertise and hope agency but works strongly on marketing directly to the rural target market. This rural client target market is by far the largest group if potential buyers available t the Albury—Wodonga residential property market. Design a marketing campaign that ensures the property gets the maximum exposure. Everyone must know the property is on the market. There are a number of marketing methods around that could be described as soft options but the reality of proper marketing is that there are only two proactive methods of sale—Auction and Private Sale. Brian Unthank Real Estate with extremely experienced auctioneers and support sales staff can and will adapt the marketing of any property to allow the property to obtain the absolute maximum exposure. Advertising costs are always a discussion point but without properly planned advertising or more importantly with only very low cost advertising budgets then it is impossible to give maximum exposure. No plan, no exposure, no result! It must stressed that there is only one opportunity to promote your number one asset, don’t shortcut this opportunity. Genuine, well motivated vendors should discuss values with their selected agency and discuss the marketing process, assess the feedback as presents from the market place, allowing them to asses good offers on their merit.

Give yourself kitchen fit for master chef From page 33 Whatever ﬁnish you choose for your kitchen is available including laminate, 2 pac paint and timber. Or you can choose solid surface bench tops including the new Granite Transformation range which is proving to be a real hit. The Flair kitchen consultants will come to you to prepare an obligation free quote on your new kitchen. They can give you design advice and help you make the most of the available space. This service is not just available to Albury Wodonga customers with consultants prepared to travel to outlying centres. When your new kitchen has been completed Flair put it together in their workshop and give customers a chance to see how it looks before it is installed in their home. And according to Ted Lawrence this is a particularly popular service.

If you are a DIY enthusiast Flair can provide your kitchen as a flat pack leaving you to install it. Flair Cabinets are the authorised outlet for the magnificent range of St George appliances. St George have over 60 years of experience in the Australian cooking appliance market and have a reputation as a leader in quality and innovation. Whether it be an oven, gas cooktop, ceramic cooktop, induction cooktop or canopy and slideout rangehoods, St George has something for you. And if you are put off by the noise of traditional rangehoods consider the new Schweigen silent canopy. With the patented IsoDrive fan and motor above the roof line your Schweigen range hood will not sound like a 747 taking off when operating at full capacity. NEXT WEEK: From concept to the finished product.

BORDER racing driver, Amin Chahda, has again returned a solid result in round three of the Victorian Motor Racing Championship at Winton Motor Raceway on the weekend. His second place for the round, behind a V8 Supercar, leaves him in a strong second place overall for the championship with just the one round left to run. Despite the good result extensive work off the track was required to enable him to contest Sunday’s three races, an overnight engine change ensuring he continued his strong season. “We qualified third on Saturday, which we were rapt with,” Chahda said. “In the first race we had a bit of an engine issue … we had water going into the oil … but as normal race car drivers do, we tend to ignore it, which I shouldn’t have. “The engine actually started seizing on the last lap … you’d come round a corner and you’d have to clutch it to get it to go again but I had that much of a gap to fourth place … I only got him by about a second and a half across the line.” Chahda then put the car on the trailer and returned to Albury, not planning to contest Sunday’s races, but his team decided on the way home to change the engine and go back in the morning. “We pulled in at 5.30 and by 7.30 we were sitting back having a beer, all done,” he said. “We got up at 6.30, loaded up and went back.” In the second race of the round Chahda managed another third place and a second in the third race. “In the last race we started second and were passed by the Swedish Taxi, (a turbo charged Volvo),” Chahda said. “He got past me for a couple of laps then we got him back and finished second to give us a second overall. “So it was good to go back on the Sunday with the spare engine, even though it’s about 60 horsepower down on the other one.” The only car ahead of Chahda now in the series is the V8 Supercar that has been running the series, a much more powerful and better handling car than the V8 Falcon Chahda drives. Chahda will be looking to contest the final round in around four weeks time with a new engine and is hoping to take the second place overall for the whole series. O&M water polo is back with games set down across the weekend at Albury and Lavington pools. The seniors begin their games tonight, (Friday) with junior games set down for 1.30 Saturday afternoon. Administrator and secretary of O&M water polo, Karen Scannell said the season was looking good with a doubling of numbers in the junior ranks and the seniors looking as strong as last season, with an added C grade women’s competition. “Our competitions start this week and run for 17 weeks in the junior competitions and 18 weeks for the seniors,” Ms Scannell said. “We have more teams than we did last year with our under 14s going from four teams to eight. “We want to let everyone know water polo is starting again and anyone interested in playing can come down and see about getting a game. Ms Scannell said the game of water polo offered a great deal to a wide variety of athlete from the young to the not so young. “It’s a good sport for those who have issues with running or jogging,” she said. “Playing sport in the water is a lot easier on your body. “We have players who are well into their 50s so it’s a game you can play late into life.” Anyone interested in playing can contact Karen Scannell on 0428 412 518.

Men give up control as ‘crew’ learn the finer points of handling lake waters

Women show yacht skills By TREVOR JACKSON ALBURY Wodonga Yacht Club held its inaugural women’s helm race at Lake Hume on Sunday in near perfect conditions. A six to eight knot breeze greeted competitors providing exciting racing. Kaye Harris took out the first race with Jacqueline Landon coming home in second, places reversing in the second race to create a healthy start to the series. Mrs Harris said the club had decided to introduce the series this season to give the women an opportunity to show they have as good skills and sailing ability as the men who tend to dominate the sport. Only four boats took to the water but given daylight savings, the long weekend and a couple of football games going on Mrs Harris felt it was a good start. “This is the first of three races over a series of weekends,” she said. “We only had four starters today but it was a great day, great weather, great wind and the girls have come off really confident and feeling really happy with how they’ve performed this morning. “I think word will spread and even since we’ve finished the race a couple have come out and they’re feeling the vibe. “I’m sure we’ll get more female competi-

Mrs Harris said the ladies were excited about the series and hopeful of more competitors as word got out. “I can’t promote it enough,” she said. “I think it’s a good lifestyle, it’s social, it’s got every aspect of sport that you’d want.” For more information regarding the series go to the yacht club club website for contact details.

Course at its best for annual inland golf tournament By TREVOR JACKSON FEMALE golfers in the region are gearing up for the Commercial Albury Golf Club’s annual Inland Golf tournament to be held on October 11-12. The tournament has proven to be a popular one on the calendar, its 79 year history testament to that fact. Committee member, Bernadette Percy, said the club was hoping to attract around 120 players from Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra as well as all the Riverina clubs. She said the popularity of the competition came from friendships formed through other tournaments around the region, offering an opportunity to reconnect with those friends on a challenging and enjoyable course. “It’s a good opportunity to rekindle those friendships and people return each year,” she said. “The course is challenging but not too difﬁcult … the players dislike it with a passion but love to play here.” The winter rains have left the course in pristine condition which should carry through to the tournament date. The tournament caters for A, B, C grade and veteran golfers and has plenty of prizes on offer for participants. “A lot of the surrounding business houses have helped the tournament grow being generous with their sponsorship of prizes,” Mrs Percy said. “When people play here they can’t believe the prizes they get.” The format of the tournament is stroke play for A grade while B and C grade is stableford. Local favourites that the club hopes will perform well include Lou Briers who has played for Australia, and current club champion, Donna Rohrich. Entries for the event are ﬁlling fast and the closing date is October 1. Those interested in playing the tournament should contact the club to ensure a spot.

IN MEMORY: Women from the Commercial Albury golf club hold mauve balloons in memory of Bev Sawyer. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

Mauve balloons pay tribute to Bev By TREVOR JACKSON THE Commercial Albury golf course was a sea of mauve on Friday when female members held a day in memory of one of their friends and fellow members, Bev Sawyer. Bev recently lost her battle with ovarian cancer and her daughter, Nicole Bulle, said it was comforting to see so many of her friends turn out for the day’s competition.

“Mauve was a favourite colour of mums and the girls have run with that,” she said. “Mum had been playing golf in the region for around 20 years and was quite a popular ﬁgure around the course. “She had a lot of really good friends here and these ladies here have been a great support to us as a family as well. “That’s evidenced by today with the effort they have gone to.” Mrs Bulle said the ladies had also

raised around $200 for the Breast and Ovarian Cancer Society during the day, something she wanted to continue with in the future. “Next year we’re looking to pull a fairly big competition together to raise funds for ovarian cancer,” she said. “I’d really like to thank all the ladies today that have made such a big effort and to acknowledge that mum would have been stoked to see that this has been carried on in her memory.”

ANTICIPATION: Albury golfers, Raeleen Hocking, Bernadette Percy, Raylee Noordennen and Donna Rorich are ready for the Inland Golf Tournament at Commercial Albury Golf Club.

Cycling the key to Rhys seeing the world

By TREVOR JACKSON BORDER cyclist, Rhys Pollock, has been a top performer in the sport of road racing for many years. He has ridden professionally in Europe for around 10 years and competed recently for the Drapac Porsche team here in Australia with some solid results, his most recent a third place at the Tour of Tasmania. Although having been involved with the sport for many years it wasn’t his first passion in life. “My mum wouldn’t let me have a motor bike or a go kart until I could drive so I thought a mountain bike looked pretty good,” Pollock said. “That was the catalyst really … I wasn’t allowed to have one of those other toys … when I was old enough to buy a motor bike I wasn’t interested any more, I enjoyed riding bikes.” Pollock began riding mountain bikes and competed at two world championships in the Australian team. His training included cross training on the road which bought about his passion for road racing. “I began doing more road racing as a part of training and was enjoying that more,” he said. The sport of cycling requires a great deal of personal commitment with many hours spent training alone and balancing work and sport. Pollock trains on a daily basis but still manages to fit work into his busy schedule. He is a draftsman for a local architect and has almost finished an advanced diploma. Having began his course at the age of 21, Pollock soon put that on the back burner to pursue his cycling passion, spending much of the next 10 years racing in Europe. Returning to Australia he again picked up the course and continued part-time study to gain his qualifications. “I think I’ve got two part-time jobs,” he joked. “I get paid from Drapac Porsche to ride so you have to have a fair bit of commitment to it. “There’s no one standing over my shoulder telling me to go training but if I come to a race and I’m not going well they’re going to say something, they won’t be happy. “So every day I get up and go to that job then get home and have a shower and go to the other job.” Pollock said he was glad he looked into the career as a draftsman because he holds no real desire to continue in cycling as a coach or sports management. He said it was necessary to have the extra income of his profession as not many cycling teams in Australia paid their riders. “There’s not a lot of money in Australia,” he said. “We don’t get paid enough to live the sweet life or anything. “We get enough to help us set aside extra time for training rather than having to struggle through with just a part-time job.” Everything else he needed to compete in the sport is provided by his team which he said was a huge bonus as many in the sport spent a lot of money on equipment. He says not many made the big money in cycling, but it was a sport that offered the chance of travel. He has been racing overseas for the past 10 years. Having had the chance to travel through Europe and Asia Pollock rates the Tour of Qinghai Lake as one of the highlights of his career. “Europe doesn’t surprise me like it used to I guess,” he said. “But it’s still nice to go over there and race through some of the cities and towns but we do a race in China, up near Tibet that is a pretty big race. “It’s all high altitude, around 4000 feet … it’s pretty spectacular up there. “It’s one of the most amazing races you could do.”

By TREVOR JACKSON MOTOR racing fans across the country, and indeed across the globe, will be glued to their TV sets on Sunday when the V8 Supercars take to Mount Panorama to contest the biggest race on the Australian motor racing calendar. The Supercheap Autos Bathurst 1000 has been a race that many regard as the holy grail of Australian motor racing and one Border residents will be able to look to with a great deal of enthusiasm this year. The Brad Jones Racing stable has had an up and down championship season this year but team driver, Jason Richards, is sitting in tenth position overall and looking forward to the 1000 km endurance event. “I’m going there very conﬁdent,” Richards told NewsWeekly. “I think I’ve got all the key elements pretty well tidied up with regards to the efﬁciency of the car. “The way it uses its tyres is good and the team has been good, one of the best in pit lane, so I think my chance of winning Bathurst this year is very real.” Teaming up with 2006 co-driver, Andrew Jones, Richards says his chances in the big event were as good as they’d ever been. He rates Jones as a capable driver who can handle all the challenges thrown up by the event. “We’ve done a bit of work together at Bathurst,” he said. “He’s been part of every test day for Brad Jones Racing and my car. “Jonesy did a great job at Phillip Island and we expect the same from him at Bathurst. “He likes the car slightly different to

Insurers to chip in heaps of cash for big golf day By PAT KOOPMAN ORGANISERS of this month’s Albury Wodonga Insurance Institute Charity Golf Day are hoping to raise $5000 for a designated local charity. Faith Hope and Dreams Inc, which supports children and families at the Woodstock Early Intervention Service, will be the beneﬁciary of the day. “We are very appreciative to the local insurance association for inviting us to be their recipient this year for their charity fundraising day, which should be very fruitful,” Faith Hope and Dreams committee member Yasmin Keating told NewsWeekly. “We have 35 families in this service that need ongoing help from time to time and that little bit extra goes a long way. We’re truly grateful to get the support and also the community awareness across Albury is really great. “Being a newly formed association, of course, in their local community it’s great for people to get the knowledge and to know what we’re doing … that it’s a good thing … and getting that support is just tremendous.” The golf day will be held at the Commercial Albury Golf Club on Friday, October 22, with lunch at 11am and a shotgun start at 12.15pm. Organisers are seeking donations of prizes and are looking to Border businesses to become sponsors for the day. Albury Wodonga Insurance Institute president Warrick Armstrong, from Lanyon Partners Insurance Brokers, said it promised to be a fantastic day.

me but unfortunately he’ll have to settle for what I need. “Ultimately it’s going to come down to the last couple of stints where all the lead drivers will be in the cars so he’ll have to settle for a little bit of the way I do it and at Phillip Island he proved to not mind it. “We certainly know that he likes things slightly differently but that shouldn’t impede our performance too much.” Richards said a win was his only goal this year, having come so close in recent years. “Last year was my third second place up there,” he said. “In the last four years I think I’ve missed winning the race in total by 5.4 seconds. “There was disappointment on the podium last year and while I was rapt to be second at the biggest race we have I was .7 of a second away from winning so there was an element of disappointment. “I’m going there with the attitude of win it or bin it so I’m not going to let anything get in my way to achieve the ultimate success.” Richards said he felt the team had the same attitude and considering they weren’t racing for the championship they could attack the race without concern of losing points in the overall championship. “If you can’t win a championship then winning Bathurst is the next best thing,” he said. “We had an expectation of eighth this year so we’re well and truly on target to make that. “We went into quite a big lull in the middle part of the championship

but clearly we’ve improved greatly and consistently over the last few race meetings. “Hopefully that trend will continue and we can have a very strong finish.” The team’s effort at Phillip Island, coming from a lap down to finish third, showed it has certainly improved overall performance. And the team is known for its ability to be at the pointy end of the field in the endurance events. “Phillip Island was another example that we can come from being a lap down,” Richards said. “Ultimately we were in a position to win that race if we called a perfect strategy … we displayed that we had a lot of car speed. “It’s come down to a change in philosophy we adopted going into Darwin and we’re certainly reaping the rewards for changing philosophy. “It’s absolutely a team effort.” Richards said as a team they were performing as one of the best in pit lane from a servicing aspect, one of the most important parts of an endurance race of Bathurst’s stature. “We are performing like a championship team,” Richards said. “Our strategies and decisions have been some of the best in pit lane, the efficiency of the car is exceptional and the way it utilises its tires over a stint is excellent. “Every aspect is performing very well and you don’t often get in a position where you do have everything going for you. “This year I’m heading to Bathurst with all those things covered. “Barring bad luck I think we are well in contention.”

In the shadows, but mum happy as support act

By TREVOR JACKSON JO Deacon is getting used to being shown a clean pair of heels by her daughter, Kirsty. Jo recently decided to give triathlon a go after driving Kirsty around to events conducted by the Albury Wodonga Triathlon Club. And she is well aware there is little chance of her matching the feats of her talented daughter in the sport. Such was the case at the club’s Allans Flat duathlon on Sunday when Kirsty was long finished before she came home. “I was driving Kirsty to so many events and just sitting and watching,” Jo said. “I just thought instead of watching I would do a little bit. “I did it to fill in time and now I like to keep fit.” Mrs Deacon said she didn’t have any high expectations other than to cross the finish line and if she achieved that she was more than happy. “I just feel physically better for doing it,” she added. “I’ve never done any sport before, this is just something I’ve taken up in my later years.” One of the more enjoyable parts of the events for Mrs Deacon is watching her daughter compete and improve with each race she contests. “She’s always way out in front of me,” Mrs Deacon said. “I just watch her go past and wave to her and say ‘well done Kirsty’.” “I like seeing where she is in the field because she’s usually coming back past me while I’m still on the out trip.

“When she races in Melbourne it’s really very exciting. “There’s some very competitive girls down there and that brings out the best of her.” Kirsty competed in Sunday’s Allans Flat event against senior members of the club as there are only a few juniors in her age group currently competing. Although she’s only in her second year of competition she is already performing well, completing the course on Sunday in under an hour, and enjoying the challenge of the sport. “I used to do a bit of swimming and a bit of running then I got into triathlon,” Kirsty said. “I did a clinic at the start of the year and just ﬁnished a training camp last week.” To be competitive in the sport Kirsty trains six days a week, two sessions a day, sometimes an hour at a time. She felt the swim leg was probably her strongest but has been working hard on the bike and run legs to improve her overall performance. “I wasn’t very good at running so I’ve been working on that through the winter,” she said. “I like racing and this year I’m going to try to make the national all-schools team. “I like racing in Melbourne because I’m racing more against people my own age. “I’m pretty sure here there’s no one in my age group so down there I get to race people my age who are about the same level or a bit better than me. “There’s lots of really fast people down there.”
