RSL opens doors

By BLAIR THOMSON THE Albury RSL is set to open its doors to membership from the general public in an attempt to breathe new life into the group. While current rules dictate only war veterans can join, dwindling membership numbers will force the RSL to accept non-veterans. The group’s secretary Des Bailey said the RSL, based at Anzac House in Wilson Street, lost about one member per fortnight on average.

“The membership of our subbranch is 240 and falling rapidly because the bulk of our members, about 90 per cent of our membership, are World War II veterans and we’re losing them at a rate of about 30 or 40 a year,” he said. “We rely very heavily on the six local high schools … the principals in particular give us excellent support and without the students we’d probably be down the drain. “But we need more support.” Mr Bailey said NSW was one

of the only states that wouldn’t allow non-veterans to join as affiliate members despite a push from groups like the Albury RSL. “An affiliate member is whereby almost anybody can become a member of the RSL,” he said. “I think in Victoria they have well over 30,000 affiliate members. “We keep telling the idiots in Sydney at these RSL congresses that unless we can get this affiliates membership up and running, we won’t be here in a few years time.

Let us show you the difference Inspect: Monday to Friday 1-4pm Display homes: Elm & Beech Streets

“But the bulk of the membership belongs to the metropolitan sub-branches and of course they’ve got the vote and it keeps getting knocked back. “So at a recent meeting, we’ve decided that we’re going to go it alone.” The plan is to form a separate group that keeps ties with the NSW RSL. “I’d like to see more people get involved,” Mr Bailey said. “We’ll just write our own rules

but invite people to come along to become members in this other citizens auxiliary or whatever we want to call it. “One of the goals of the RSL is to maintain this welfare assistance to the veterans and also to carry on the commemoration so that the names of the those 102,000 that paid the ultimate sacrifice aren’t forgotten.” Mr Bailey said he expected the public would be able to join the group in early 2012.

Audit Period: 1/10/2010 - 31/3/2011

THE decision by the Reserve Bank to cut the official interest rate on Cup Day will come as a welcome relief to families struggling to pay off their mortgage. By world standards our interest rates are particularly high, and reflect the strength of the economy, fuelled to a fair degree by the mining boom. These rates have pushed the Australian dollar to heights many thought were unachievable a few years ago. For some of us the dollar’s rise has been a godsend, but for anyone trying to export their goods it has been more like a millstone for their business. And what happens when the dollar drops to its historical levels could have quite a severe impact on many consumer items, particularly petrol. The attitude of the banks on the reduction has again done little to give individuals any confidence they are interested in anything but their own profits, although to be fair most have acted quickly to give their customers the benefit of the cut. But while those with loans breathe a sigh of relief, we should spare a thought for people who rely on investments for some, or all, or their income. Self-funded retirees can look forward to reduced incomes as rates continue to fall, as they appear certain to do. And we should all be aware that credit card rates are not likely to be reduced.

hair-raising: This trio were among the hundreds who displayed a mixture of fear and delight on the many carnival rides at the show on the weekend. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON. By BLAIR THOMSON ORGANISERS of this year’s Albury Show have hailed the event a success. Show secretary Sue Hurst said many people attended last weekend’s show despite crowd numbers being slightly down. “It went very well and the Show Society committee is very happy,” she said. “Earlier on Saturday morning the weather was threatening and people won’t come out if they think they’re going to get wet, but as the weather cleared later in the afternoon the crowd was excellent and there was a good crowd on Sunday as well. “The feedback from the

people that came was great, they were all very happy.” Dozens of amusements, rides and events greeted revellers including wood chopping, an animal nursery, mini bike stunt teams and fireworks. Ms Hurst said showbags had proved popular with younger attendees this year. “The showbag court people were very happy; their sales had doubled from last year which they were excited about,” she said. “The general feel was the crowd numbers were down a little bit but I don’t feel as though they were down excessively. “People are probably looking at spending their

money in other areas because we are in a hard economic time. “But as a show society we offer really good entertainment … as an adult you can pay $15 to come to the show and spend the day here without it costing any more.” While the Show Society hasn’t met to discuss the future direction of the event, Ms Hurst wouldn’t rule out changing next year’s date so it won’t clash with other events in the region like the Wangaratta Jazz Festival. “We have to have our committee meeting and decide which way we’re going to go but we’re always looking at different avenues to improve the show,” she said.

Buy a poppy and help war veterams COMPOST: James Wightwick and Kevin Powell at the latest composting workshop at the Albury Botanic Gardens. Picture: trevor jackson

Program to help reduce waste

By BLAIR THOMSON COMPOSTING food scraps can help extend the life of Albury’s tip. That’s according to Julien Gastaldi, who recently held composting workshops with more than 150 Albury residents as part of the Halve Waste Campaign. “Albury landfill is the biggest landfill outside of Sydney and it’s filling fast,” he said. “Food waste makes up about 50 to 60 per cent of all household waste, so if we could reduce that then that would reduce landfill waste by about 50 per cent. “So we’re trying to get as many people involved as we can.” Six local councils, including Albury, are involved in the initiative which provides subsidised composting kits to local households. “The goal is to try to reduce waste going to landfill and improve recycling in the region,” Mr Gastaldi said. “We’ve got a whole range of programs for the community, one of which is the home composting workshop. “It tells people the means to get rid of their food waste in a responsible fashion; if you have a composter at the back of your house, you can put all your waste into it and recycle all that waste into compost.” Mr Gastaldi said 1000 Albury residents had taken advantage of subsidised compost kits in the last year with plans to distribute another 1000 over the next 12 months. “We want to get as many out there as we can,” he said. “Composting used to be quite a common thing ... a generation ago they would all do that but it’s gotten lost over the years. “But people are taking it up again. “It’s becoming quite a fashionable thing again.” Residents can buy a composting kit valued at about $100-150 for $10 at the monthly information sessions. “There’s also an hour long workshop which gives out step by step information on what to do,” Mr Gastaldi said. For more information call Albury Council on 6023 8111 or visit halvewaste. com.au

HELP: Des Bailey with poppies, which are sold to raise money to help local war veterans and their families. Picture: Blair thomson By BLAIR THOMSON BORDER residents are being encouraged to buy a red poppy in support of local war veterans. Local RSL clubs are selling the poppies, a symbol of the blood shed by soldiers, ahead of Remembrance Day. Funds raised from the sales will go towards support services for current and former soldiers and their families. “We provide a pension and welfare services for veterans whether they’re members of the RSL or not,” Albury RSL Sub Branch secretary Des Bailey explained. “And to keep funding the operation we rely on the income from the poppies and whatever paraphernalia we sell on the day. “We’ll have people collecting in Lavington, the CBD in Albury and Thurgoona.” The Wodonga RSL has already started selling the poppies in several locations.

“You can get them in High Street at the back of Coles, at Wodonga Plaza on various days and at the Birallee Shopping Centre on Wednesday next week,” Wodonga RSL Sub Branch secretary Gary Mansfield said. “We’re pretty short on volunteers this year so if anyone wants to help out we would be most grateful.” The poppy appeal has been held in Australia since 1921 with many wearing the symbolic flowers at Remembrance Day services on November 11. Mr Mansfield said Remembrance Day was a chance for people to thank those who have served. “To me it’s a day in which Australians can enjoy the freedoms that we’ve got and remember those that have won it for us,” he said. Services will be held at QEII Square at 10.30am and Woodland Grove at 10.40am.

Painting helps stroke victim regain a ...

New lease on life By BERNADETTE CANNIZZARO LOW vision has proved to be no obstacle for talented artist Carmel Strutt. Over two years ago, a stroke left Carmel struggling to find ways to pass the time while she recovered. The stroke had led to her losing the ability to read or write, as she had lost part of her vision. “Then a very dear friend Jo Clifford, who is an artist told me that I was going to paint,” Carmel said. “The only thing I had ever painted before was my toenails!” Carmel proved to be very talented, and now her imaginative piece titled “Swirls and Dots”, an acrylic on paper has been selected to appear in Vision Australia’s 2012 calendar. The calendar showcases the artwork of 11 other artists, ranging from adults and children who are blind or have low vision. “I am gradually re-learning about colours and there are so many aspects of painting which help the brain to work,” Carmel said. The pastime has resulted in Carmel gradually regaining motor skills. “My doctors have been impressed with the improvements I have made since I began painting,” she said. “Using a paint brush has helped me to learn how to hold cutlery again.” This unique calendar along with an array of Christmas cards and cards are available to order by calling 1300 847466 or visit www.visionaustralia.org/shop. Proceeds will helps support thousands of adults and children who suffer from blindness or low vision.

It’s hair today for the best of causes

By BLAIR THOMSON NOT all men are blessed with the ability to grow a decent moustache. But now that November has arrived, many are giving it their best shot. Countless local males began sprouting moustaches of varying quality and style from Tuesday as part of Movember, a month long fund-raiser that raises awareness of men’s health issues like prostate cancer and depression. Chris Jones and about a dozen other Bunnings staff have joined the cause this year. “It scrubs up all right once

it gets going,” he said. “I’m going the bikie moustache and this is about the third time I’ve done it. “We did it at Bunnings about two years ago and had a fair few grow their moustache and raise a bit of money.” Fellow employee Lucy Vidovic said it was great to see people get involved in the event. “Most of the guys would prefer to be clean shaven but it’s good to see that for 30 days they’re willing to support a charity,” she said.

Heat on as Hume ups art prize to $5000 OUCH: 18-year-old Tahlia Quinlivan from Lavington gets a tattoo at Wizards of Ink. Picture: blair thomson

Tattoos take centre stage By BLAIR THOMSON TATTOOS of all shapes, sizes and colours will be on display at the SS&A Club tomorrow (Saturday) as part of the first Albury Wodonga Tattoo Show. Inked Border residents are encouraged to attend the event with prizes to be awarded for the best designs. According to organiser Donna Carroll, every tattoo tells a story. “I’ve met so many interesting people that want to show off their tattoos and artwork,” she said. “They’re so personal and it’s fascinating to hear the stories behind them. “There will be three or four judges there awarding prizes for what they think are the best designs.” While the art form was once considered a taboo by many, Ms Carroll believes it’s now accepted

by wider society. “It’s very popular at the moment and we’re about encouraging safe tattooing, not back yard jobs,” she said. “It’s about discouraging people from getting their mates to draw up a tat for them and we’ve worked with Albury Council and the Department of Health to make sure everything’s safe.” Wizards of Ink manager Scott Raymond, who will be in attendance with employees from three other Border tattoo shops, said the industry had changed since he entered the profession about 15 years ago. “It was definitely more popular with guys, it was probably about 80 or 90 per cent male customers,” he said. “Now we’re seeing more females than males. “I think the girls get more tat-

toos than guys but guys tend to get bigger tattoos like full arms, whereas the girls get lots of small tattoos.” According to Mr Raymond, it takes at least six years for tattoo artists to learn all aspects of the trade. “A lot of people think if they buy a machine from eBay they can tattoo, but it’s not that easy,” he explained. “Skin’s not flat, it’s round and it moves and most people end up making a mess of their mate’s arm. “Blokes that have been tattooing for 25 years are still learning about it and constantly improving their knowledge.” The tattoo show will run from noon to 6pm at the SS&A Club auditorium with live tattooing, music and a fashion parade as key features.

THE winner of this year’s Arts Wodonga Hume Acquisitive Contemporary Art Award 2011 will win $5000. This follows the decision by the Hume Building Society to increase the prize from $2000. The winner will be announced on Friday, November 11. The announcement, at Arts Space Wodonga at 6.15pm, will be followed by a free public exhibition. This year’s award is very diverse and includes paintings, drawings, prints, photographs. It is the only award for regional artists living within 120km of Albury Wodonga, and will go to one of a selection of 30 of the region’s best contemporary visual artists. Now in its eighth year, the award has previously been won by David Jones (2004), Bronwyn Cosser (2005), Stephen Anderson (2006), Nan Hoysted (2007), Lyn Gasperov (2008), Stephen Anderson (2009) and Linda Fish (2010). From the award’s humble beginnings in 2004, the Hume Building Society has been its major sponsor. Hume now has one of the finest collections of regional artists on the Border gracing its walls. Arthur Wicks is this year’s judge and will have the difficult task of selecting the winner of the $5000

award and the winners of four $250 highly commended awards. Mr Wicks is a highly-sought after, respected and acclaimed visual artist who works as a performance artist, sculptor, painter, photographer and printmaker. He has held more than 50 solo exhibitions in Australia and overseas, having travelled and worked extensively in many different countries. His work is held in many private collections and he is represented by all major Australian galleries and is well-known on the Border. He lives and works in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. The highly-commended awards have been donated by Cremer’s Stationary and Art in Albury, Albury Picture Framers, Shades of Art in Wangaratta and Albury Printing. A free exhibition displaying the works will be held at Arts Space Wodonga from November 11 to December 3. An artists’ floor talk will take place at the same venue on Saturday, November 12. This provides an opportunity for the public to ask questions about the artworks in the exhibition and to hear artists talk about their art practice. A people’s choice award is also a popular event at this award.

Special event for cancer survivors Cancer survivors will benefit from a special Cancer Council group session in Albury in November where they will share their experiences on coping with life after cancer with local survivors. In the South West Region about 1600 people are diagnosed with cancer each year. More than 60 per cent of people treated for the disease survive and many face challenges adapting to life afterwards, which can also affect

their families and loved ones. Megan Savin from Cancer Council’s South West Region Office said that cancer survivors often viewed the world differently after treatment, due to emotional and social impacts of the disease, coupled with the changes in their appearance and body function. “Life after cancer can be a confronting and challenging time,” she said. “Many survivors feel as

though others don’t understand what they have gone through, and others suffer from problems like depression and fatigue. “But, it’s important to realise you’re not alone. “We’re encouraging anyone who’s affected by cancer to book their place in this free session to connect with others who have been through a similar experience. “Attendees will benefit from tips, ideas, and activi-

ties which may help them to live their life well after cancer.” The session is also open to carers, family, friends and work colleagues of those who have been affected by cancer. They too can feel deep impact from their loved one’s diagnosis and the effects of diagnosis and treatment. To date, almost 1400 people have attended Living Well After Cancer workshops across NSW.

The Albury event will be on Saturday, November 12, and will run from 10am to 12.30pm. The Living Well After Cancer program is held throughout the state and run by Cancer Council NSW with trained cancer survivors. Bookings are free but essential.

Lake level to be reduced THE level of the lake at one of the Border’s popular tourist attractions is to be lowered. The work at Rutherglen’s Lake King is aimed at reducing leakage from the lake wall.

Fashions, families make day NUMBERS attending Border race meetings on Melbourne Cup day seem sure to continue to grow if this year’s results are any judge. A visit to either Albury or Wodonga race courses on Tuesday was proof in itself. Both courses showed promising attendances with around 3000 cramming Albury and 2000 gracing the Wodonga lawns. Typical of the day was the feedback received from Wodon-

ga punters which was all positive according to club manager, Bradley Thomas. He said the club focused on attracting families to the meeting and all had gone to plan. “It was a fantastic day,” Mr Thomas said. “It was a good turnout and attracted an abundance of families and that’s the best part. “With the public holiday and schools not operating it’s ideal for people to have a day out with their families and enjoy the Mel-

bourne Cup day.” Mr Thomas said crowd figures on the day were up this year with last year’s figures estimated at 1800. He said the Fashions on the Field was a big success and the sheer numbers watching the Cup from the lawns showed the big screen to be a major attraction on the day. All in all the Border racing fans have spoken and the continued success of such days is sure to continue.

Students ‘hands on’ in design partnership

performers: Some of the dancers to appear at the festival on the weekend.

Celtic festival to draw crowds to Beechworth Beechworth is gearing up for one of the town’s biggest annual celebrations this weekend, the Beechworth Celtic Festival. Among a packed program of events are performances by the popular O’Shae Ryan Academy of Dance which has just returned from a major festival at Nanchang in China. Geraldine Ryan, principal of the academy was invited to bring some dancers to participate in the fourth China-Nanchang International Military Tattoo. “The City of Nanchang has a history of 2200 years – and is the birthplace of Chinese People’s Liberation Army,” Ms Ryan said. Visitors to the Beechworth Celtic Festival will have several opportunities to see members of the O’Shae Ryan Academy of Dance perform as part of the “free” entertainment provided at the Ford Street stage. The festival program kicks off in true Celtic style with a gala dinner dance featuring a fantastic evening of live entertainment on the Friday night and continues with a series of free and ticketed events across the weekend. Attractions include: The free Ford Street stage showcasing choirs, dancers and a host of entertainers throughout the weekend, the ever-popular lunchtime Parade on Saturday, a huge Celtic market, workshops with leading artists, and a family concert at the Memorial Hall Full program and booking details at: www.beechworthcelticfestival.com.au or call 1300 366 321.

students: Jes Skarfe, Caitlin Peirce, Tracey Basham (teacher), Sophie Mitchell and Jordyn Burles at Bev Marks in Wodonga. Picture: trevor jackson BY BERNADETTE CANNIZZARO Students studying their Diploma of Visual Merchandising at Wodoga TAFE have been getting hands on experience at Bev Marks in Wodonga. The project is an opportunity for the students to put into practice techniques being learnt in class, and to experience first hand the realities of visual merchandising in a commercial setting. The concept was initiated by Chris Jones, also a teacher at Wodonga TAFE. “Chris was assisting one of our staff with some training and put the idea to me,” Kerrie Burzacott from Bev Marks said. “She arranged for me to meet Tracey Williams, facilitator of the visual merchandising course. “Instantly we could see the benefit for the students and for our business so it was an overwhelming yes from both of us. “The first project was in September

2009, we had a second group of students in October 2010 and then again this year.” The key objective was to redisplay half the free-form section of the store and to finish by the time the store closed and work with no budget or approval to use any additional props or furniture. Creating the challenge, students Jordyn Burles, Sophie Mitchell, Caitlin Peirce and Jess Scarfe set off on the task to create display areas. “The open section of the store is the most difficult to merchandise – there is no physical structure and as such needs to be created in the way the furniture is displayed,” Mrs Burzacott said. “It is also important for one area to flow through to the next; for the display to be inviting to the customer and for there to be access at different points for customers to walk through.” The project involved displaying at

least 20 lounge suites and eight dining suites plus occasional furniture. While the students had visited the store prior to view the furniture they would be working with and come up with a plan, they had to show flexibility on the day since some of the furniture had been sold and new furniture had arrived in store. “Aside from the creative aspect of the project, the students had to work safely; protecting themselves against possible strain from lifting; protecting the furniture to ensure no damage; and keeping the store safe for customers,” Mrs Burzacott. “They also had to think about working as an individual as well as part of a team. As a team they were required to collate furniture and placement of and move furniture into place. “This is the third year this project has been run and we look forward to it again next year.”

Famed mountaineer to help to Meg’s children BY BERNADETTE CANNIZZARO The opportunity to see Australias most famous mountaineer Andrew Lock will be a feature of a charity fund-raising being held on Sunday, November 13, at Culcairn. And proceeds from the event will aid Megs Children’s Home in Nepal. Organiser Trish Ryan set up Meg’s Home after losing her daughter, Meg, after years of bravely battling Spina Bifida. After finishing school and working as an integration aid with disadvantaged children, Meg decided she would like to become a teacher, her goal being to help those children who needed that extra bit. That goal was never realised as Meg passed away while a stu-

dent at CSU in Albury during her second year of studies Trish elected to spend that first anniversary of her daughter’s death on the other side of the world. “I visited Nepal and volunteered at an orphanage on the outskirts of Kathmnadu in 2004,” she said. Trish met Bikash, a young Nepali man who was volunteering at the home, which at the time was being run by a man described by Trish as “corrupt and evil”. The 30 children who lived there were malnourished, attended school sporadically and the building was damp and filthy. “Bikash spoke of his wish for someone to come and simply take over their care,” Trish said.

“On my return to Australia I spoke to friends and anyone who would listen about the plight of these kids and fortunately there was a lot of support. “I returned to Nepal shortly after with a friend and put a plan in place to remove the children to a safe house and take over their care.” And so the Meg’s Children name was born. “We are committed to enabling the children obtain training and education that will enrich their lives and eventually lead to their independence,” Trish said. Andrew Lock is the most accomplished mountaineer in Australian history. He is the first person in the Commonwealth and just the 18th man in the world, to climb all 14

of the world’s 8000m mountains, including Mt Everest. His exceptional achievements in the face of such adversity have demanded supreme levels of endurance, motivation and leadership and he is donating his time to speak at the Megs Children fund-raiser at Orange Grove Gardens, Orange Grove Lane, Culcairn. Tickets for the day are $40 for adults, $35 for students and $5 for children under 12. The function includes canapés, reserved seating for the presentation and entry into the charity auction. Entry is strictly pre sold tickets only that can be purchased at KG’s Hair Design, Temple Hair Body Soul, Smiths Office Solutions and Albury Rock Climbing.

MOUNTAINEER: Andrew Lock will speak at the event to raise funds for Meg’s children.

PRODUCTREVIEW By TREVOR JACKSON AVID followers of Nikon may be disappointed with the brand’s latest interchangeable lens offering, however, those wanting high performance in a compact package, read on. Nikon have recently introduced the Nikon 1 series consisting of the V1 and J1 plus a range of vibration reduction (VR) lenses to suit, and the boys at Foto Supplies in Albury were kind enough to give me a full run-down on the Ferrari of compact cameras. The format fits somewhere between the old 35mm size and the current crop of compact point and shoot cameras and has received mixed reviews so far, but I had to look deeper. Firstly the cameras feel heavy and well constructed, like a real camera should! Blinding shutter speeds are on offer with around 60 frames per second available for a one second burst, or 10 frames per second continuously depending on which body you choose. Full HD video is also a feature with a 10-100mm VR lens designed specifically for that purpose. A pop up flash is offered on the J1 while a hot shoe allows a larger flash to be used on the V1, although that does come at an extra cost. The V1 features a through-the-lens view finder along with the rear screen

while the J1 is stuck with just the rear screen, similar to most current compacts. Sensors make a camera and the sensor in the Nikon 1 is considered to be a 2.7x crop. That is, a 10mm focal length will be equivalent to 27mm in the 35mm format, but what does that mean in real terms? Quite simply it means smaller bodies and big focal lengths with a big enough sensor to provide images printable to a reasonable size without suffering loss of quality. An adapter is also available allowing use of current Nikon lenses on the new system. Sensitivity is a big feature with the V1 shooting good quality images at 3200 ISO, something most compacts just can’t match. So where does the new system fit in the overall scheme of things? If you currently own a full bodied Nikon SLR the little 1 series could well be the pocket rocket you’ve been looking for, something to carry around with minimal fuss but still able to capture decent images with all the advantages of interchangeable lenses. For those who currently own compacts the new system is a big step up providing high quality holiday snaps and full HD video, all small enough to hide in the average shoulder bag.

Pocket rocket offers plenty

lIVINGnOW UNRAVELLING THE MYSTERIES – SOME WINE QUESTIONS ANSWERED

gardenguru with

PRUE SMITH

his week we look at clearing up a few wine conundrums for you.

My son has just been born – what wine should I put down for his 21st?

Firstly, make sure it’s not an Aussie Chardonnay or sparkling wine! The wines with the best track records are classic Australian reds (Grange, Hill of Grace etc) or Vintage Port (from Stanton and Killeen, Morris, Hardy’s) – these are most certainly going to be there for the long haul. From overseas, first growth wines from Bordeaux (red and sweet) will age 20 years in an eye blink, if they are from good vintage years. Another option is to look for a single vintage Armagnac (brandy from France) which will last 100 years but probably shorten the life of your son if he drinks the bottle at his birthday bash. Remember, some of these wines may not be available for a few years after your son’s birth – keep an eye out for the right vintage, but there is no rush.

Does price equal quality?

Well, yes and no (typical lawyer answer). Production costs of some wines (low yield vineyards, use of new oak, handcrafted winemaking etc) means a bigger price tag. On the other hand, some vineyards rest on their laurels, gaining a reputation, and then producing indifferent drops for eye-watering prices. If you are after a quality/value bargain, there is no better time than the present. Successive good vintages (creating a wine “lake”), the collapse of the export market, and other like factors have resulted in unprecedented bargains in wine shops. For example, there is a “sea” of Shiraz out there at the moment, at bargain prices. No need to look for “cleanskins” any more – for a dollar or two more you can drink high quality wine. The big makers are spoilt for choice with their contract grape quality, and are driving hard bargains with the grape growers – this means that high quality material is finding its way into cheap bottles (try the Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay, and you will see what I mean), and thus no longer is a cheap bottle necessarily made from ordinary grapes from irrigated areas. So buy up and enjoy the party while it lasts!

I hear a lot about “decanting” – what does it mean?

“Decanting” is basically the transfer of the contents of a bottle into another container (usually glass). There are a couple of reasons for decanting a bottle. In younger wines, an hour or so’s decanting, when the wine mixes with some fresh oxygen, can soften it and make the wine appear a year or two older. But for older wines in particular, careful decanting means accumulated sediment in the bottle is removed so you end up with a clear liquid. Young whites also benefit from some decanting, although it is rare to see people doing it. A word of warning, though – older reds need decanting but not much time in the decanter. For old reds, usually decanting should be done less than an hour before you are going to drink the wine. The best way to decant is to leave a bottle standing up for a couple of days, ideally on a bit of an angle, and to then pour it into a glass container, but pouring over a candle or torch, so you can see the sediment coming up the bottle neck and stop pouring just in time!

How long will a wine keep after it is opened?

Best approach? Drink it the same day! If that is not practical, my own approach is to pour off the wine into a smaller container (to keep oxygen to a minimum). Many friends use a vacuum pump to get rid of the oxygen, but I personally don’t think that’s a hot idea for the wine. The reality is that wine starts to go downhill basically the minute it is opened – with fortified wines (Ports, Sherries, Muscats etc) the change is less obvious. But that half empty bottle of Port on your shelf, opened two years ago, is a pale imitation of the fresh wine you enjoyed on day one. Young table wines will last longer when opened – old wines will go off within hours. I’m told putting leftover red wine in the fridge helps, but I’ve never tested it – at best, it might give you an extra day, I’d reckon.

Do you have a question?

If you have a question that you think I can help with, please shoot me an email (winelover@awnw.com.au). Next week: Penfolds Special Bins – true Aussie icons.

HERBS

e live in almost the ideal climate for herbs, and there are many reasons for growing them. They add to the appearance of your garden as many have attractive foliage and very pretty flowers. Also of course, their scent is lovely. They are such an asset in the kitchen, adding greatly to flavour in so many dishes and drinks, as well as providing attractive decoration when you want to present the results of your labour! You don’t need to grow a huge number of plants to meet your needs, so they will grow in quite a small area, as long as they get sun. Most need lots of sun, but mint, lemon balm and parsley will grow in a little shade. There are lots of traditional designs if you want to create a stand-alone herb garden. A “herb wheel” can be set out, using the design of an old cart wheel. You can use bricks or pavers to create the spokes, or else a small hedge of chives or rosemary, and then plant a different herb in each triangular area. However herbs will also grow well mixed in with vegetables, flowers and shrubs, adding to the garden display as well as acting as insect repellants. Many insects don’t like the strong fragrance of many herbs. Dill is good in this situation with its aniseed perfume, and so are chives, especially near roses, because aphids don’t like the smell of anything with an onion-ish fragrance. Most herbs will thrive quite happily in contain-

ers, and you will use them more regularly if they are near your kitchen, which is possible with a pot. Several which enjoy similar conditions, such as chives, thyme and sage, can be planted together if you choose a large container. Use a good soil, such as your own compost. Decomposed manure can be added to whatever medium you choose. You can buy herbs as seedlings, or you can grow them from seeds. While browsing at the nursery the other day, I saw a punnet containing several different types of basil – sweet basil, lemon basil and the purple leafed variety which is most attractive. They would make a lovely pot and all need the same conditions, which include a little more water than most other herbs. The more invasive of the herbs, like mint and lemon balm, should be kept in their own pots. So should coriander, as it rushes to seed very quickly, and needs to be replaced regularly during the hot weather. Many herbs come from the Mediterranean area. Oregano and marjoram, rosemary and sage are among them, and grow well together. They all like a limey soil, so add some dolomite or garden lime before planting them. Growing herbs will add to the pleasure you get from your garden in so many ways. They are attractive plants, most of them needing little care. They have interesting foliage and flowers, both of which last well and look attractive in vases, and they can contribute to your cooking skills enormously.

Garden tasks: ✓ Knight’s Roses of South Australia have released a rose in honour of the late Peter Brock, the racing car driver. It is

a beautiful deep pink. A percentage of proceeds from the sale of every bush will go towards a foundation to help special needs children, set up in his memory.

✓ There are a lot of new solar and low volt lighting lines from the company, Gardman, available on the market. They

are all different shapes and sizes, suitable for different uses in the garden.

✓ Feed climbing plants as they are all growing very quickly. ✓ Sow the seed of sweet corn directly into well-manured or well fertilised beds in full sun. They are very hungry plants,

so you need rich soil to have success. Keep them in clumps to ensure pollination, so you get cob development.

Wilbur’s just wild about performing By BLAIR THOMSON FORMER Hey Hey It’s Saturday personality Wilbur Wilde is coming to the Border. The talented saxophonist and jazz enthusiast will perform with his band, The Troublemakers, at the SS&A Club on Saturday (November 5). According to Wilde, punters can expect “hit after recognisable hit”. “The Troublemakers are a five piece playing Australian rock ‘n’ roll,” he told NewsWeekly. “I played in a band called Old 55, so we’ll do a few of those songs, some Daddy Cool, Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons and also sprinkle some Chuck Berry in there. “But we don’t just play the songs … we entertain as well and I think that’s important.” The 56-year-old Wilde, born Nicholas Aitken, started playing music while still in primary school. “I had a collapsed lung when I was 10 years of age and the doctor suggested I should do some swimming and maybe even play a wind instrument,” he said. “So I got a clarinet from my parents and switched to saxophone, started playing at school, sung in the choir, marched in the cadet band, played in the school concerts and just had a really good time. “I supposed I developed a bit of a passion for it and I liked the idea of being up on stage with people dancing and enjoying your music and laughing at different bits and pieces. “It’s like showing off for money.” He would develop a reputation as a skilled performer, going on to play with Elvis Costello, Split Enz, Roy Orbison, Tom Jones and Paul Kelly, and featured on Cold Chisel’s first album. “I played a couple of gigs with them too,” he explained, “the last one being at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl for the tsunami relief gig.” “Barnesy was a pretty intense performer and loved being the singer of Cold Chisel. “He’s loving it even more these days on the road, so I hear.” Wilde was asked to play in the house band on the hugely popular Hey Hey It’s Saturday’s in 1984. According to Wilde, the show was organised mayhem. “Yes, we knew what segments were going to be on the show but the whole two hours was written on two pieces of A4 paper, telling you what segments were coming up,” he said.

WAS SHAKESPEARE A FRAUD?

ANONYMOUS (M)

WILDE: Wilbur Wilde is heading to the Border tomorrow night. “And what happened during those segments was sometimes mayhem, but I’m not sure how organised it even was on occasions. “Live TV is about the funnest thing you can do. “They turn the cameras on and two hours later they turn them off and in the middle it’s a bit like the running of the bulls.” Despite the show’s short lived reunion in 2010 being panned by many and considered a failure, Wilde said reviving the show was the right decision. “I thought it was great,” he said. “And it looks like we’re going to

have a tilt at some live performances too. “Darryl’s come out in the paper and said that, so we may well be touring country Victoria, maybe even playing at the Albury Entertainment Centre, who knows?” In the meantime, Wilde will continue with his live shows. “I’ll just continue to play golf and jazz until the money runs out,” he said. Wilbur Wilde and The Troublemakers play at the SS&A Club tomorrow night. For more information call the venue on 6041 2222.

DESPITE sticking closely to boxing and sport film cliches, the creators of Warrior have made a gritty, emotionally engaging and brutally realistic movie. Aussie actor Joel Edgerton plays ripped former UFC fighter turned physics teacher Brendan Conlon, brother to rabid former Marine and fighter Tommy Riordan (Tom Hardy). Both men suffered during their early years at the hands of their alcoholic father, Paddy, played by Nick Nolte and have estranged themselves from him for years.

But their aging dad has changed his ways, dropping the drink and finding God. The movie opens with Tommy showing up drunk and drugged-up on his father’s front porch. While Paddy’s excited to see his kid after more than a decade apart, Tommy treats him with malaise. He’s only after someone to train him to fight, not a father, making it clear that he hasn’t forgiven the old man’s errant ways. Meanwhile Brendan, who hasn’t seen his brother or father for years, is training for a different reason with the bank threatening to foreclose on his family home. Scratching for some quick cash, he wins a mixed martial arts com-

petition (a mix of boxing, jui jitsu and any other forms of fighting) in a strip club car park but his bruises raise the ire of the school board and he’s suspended without pay. Fighting got him into the trouble, but he’s going to fight his way out of it and starts full time training in MMA. Both brothers aim for the $5m prize money offered at Sparta, a tournament featuring some of the best fighters from America and abroad, with intriguing results. The movie’s fight scenes are superb, capturing the brutality and anger of MMA and the troubled souls of its lead characters.

By BLAIR THOMSON AMERICAN rapper Vanilla Ice is set to play at Paddy’s next Thursday. Best known for his early nineties anthem Ice Ice Baby, the 44-year-old (real name Robert Matthew Van Winkle) has had a roller coaster career. Ice Ice Baby, the first hip hop song to reach number one on the Billboard charts, propelled him into stardom. But with success came problems in the form of drug addiction, hangers-on and concerns over the image forced upon him by his record company. While the single was massive, backed up by three years of hard touring, the public soon lost interest in Ice and his second studio album, Mind Blowin, failed to chart. A fall from grace and suicide attempt followed as Ice fell into obscurity and his career hung in limbo. But like all good performers, Ice rebounded from his slump and picked up gigs on television programs and touring, going on to release a total of eight albums. “The way I look at it is, ‘we are who we are because of who we were’,” he said in a recent interview. “Meaning that anything that’s happened in my past is a great thing. “I turn my negatives into my positives because one of my mottos is ‘yesterday’s history, tomorrow’s a mystery’. “And as far as the quote unquote dream of being a rock star, rich and famous, it just wasn’t as good as the dream.” Fans still flock to see Ice with a legion of dedicated supporters throughout Australia and abroad. His upcoming Australian tour will take in five shows and is a follow up to 2008’s run of gigs which included Wagga.

Veteran goes it alone in new speed machine BORDER skipper, Donald Thomson is enjoying his racing on Lake Hume at the moment. A new boat has renewed his love of smaller yachts and given him the opportunity to perform in his own right on a single handed boat. Thomson said the RS 100 was a relatively new boat to Australia imported by the builders of another popular sailing dinghy, the Laser. “They’re a very unique concept and good for older sailors to relive their youth,” Thomson joked. “It’s an exciting boat to sail and a little more forgiving than some of the boats that are of similar design … it’s still pretty quick and it’s nice and light and easy to handle.” Thomson said he’d been sailing bigger boats for some time now and decided to look for something more along the lines of the skiff style boats he used to race in his youth. He took delivery of ‘Pure RS’ prior to the Albury Wodonga yacht club’s current season and so far has been more than impressed with the performance of the little dinghy, taking a swag of first place finishes in the club races on Lake Hume. “It’s really, really good fun,” Thomson said. “There’s a lot to learn, I’ve had a bit of trouble staying on

SOME of the region’s best sailors gathered on Lake Hume on the weekend to participate in the annual Rose Festival Regatta hosted by Albury-Wodonga Yacht Club. Consisting of five races the annual event drew competitors from as far as Melbourne. The premier Dash for Cash, sponsored by Hume Building Society included all boats in the series and was held on Sunday morning. The south-westerly breeze challenged the skills of all skippers and crews with AWYC skipper and sailing coach, Donald Thomson proving the power of his RS 100, Pure RS to take the honours. Mornington sailor, Glenn Collings skippered AWYC boat, Pisces across the line to second with AWYCs Phil Clements third on Rum Runner.

Brendan takes win despite ‘brutal’ end LOOKING GOOD: Alaana Northey and Tristan Wright proudly display part of the uniform the children will be wearing while on the Kentucky Bound basketball tour. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

Kentucky bound group counting down the days WITH the Qantas drama unfolding over the weekend there were more than a few nervous travelers here on the Border hoping all would be sorted out quickly. Around 20 youngsters are about to head off on the Kentucky Bound basketball trip organised by Albury basketball legend, Allen McCowan on Friday and for them the decision for Qantas to return to the air couldn’t have come any sooner. “It was real stressful,” McCowan said. “Everything had gone well, we hadn’t had any hiccups and then on the weekend I think everyone had a huge lump in their throat.” McCowan said all involved in the trip from the children to the parents were relieved and once again excited about the tour. “They’ve been waiting for a long time and now that’s it’s here, it’s very exciting,” he said The children will be playing plenty of basketball while on the tour and to ensure they look their best uniforms have been supplied. McCowan said it was important that the children felt good while on and off the court. He said there didn’t seem to be too many nerves regarding the games at this stage but said that would probably come soon enough. “I don’t know whether the impact of the basketball has set in, it’s the excitement of the trip actually happening,” he said. “It’s something they might not get the chance to experience or have never experienced before, it’s a great opportunity.”

BORDER cyclist, Brendan Washington has taken a hard-earned Tour of Two Rivers series win after an eighth place finish at the gruelling Bellbridge round on the weekend. The series win is the first for an Albury Wodonga cycling club member since Washington last claimed the title in 2006. AWCC’s Declan Gregory managed to hold on for outright third in the series while Cootamundra’s Shaun Williams split the pair to claim second. Washington said he was pleased with the series win but felt disappointed for Gregory missing second place by just a point. He said Sunday’s final round at Bellbridge was “brutal”. “It was quite a stressful day on Sunday,” Washington said. “We only had a four or five point lead and had first and second before the race and it didn’t quite go to plan, that’s for sure. “I was in big trouble at the start just from the fact that the race started at the bottom of the hill. “I was lucky that Declan and the other guys looked out for me and made sure that I was all right and we salvaged what we could.” Washington said after the lead group broke away he was left in a group of three including Gregory and another rider who wasn’t keen to help chase. “That meant that Declan and I had to try to chase by ourselves,” he said. “When it was evident we weren’t going to get back we had to make a decision that if Williams was in the top five I’d have to finish eighth to win overall. “I got away from the other guys with about 15km to go and managed to finish eighth but Declan missed out on second by one point which was a bit of a disappointment.” Despite the tough final round Washington said he was pleased with the performance of the team throughout the season and praised their commitment. “It’s somewhat of a relief because it’s been since 2006 that we’ve managed a win overall,” he said. “It’s good to know we can put a plan into place and pull it off. “I’m really happy with the guys and the team, it’s by no means been an individual effort. “It’s taken a good team of good guys to do this. “There were a lot of races that we wouldn’t normally do but that’s what team-mates do.”

Big weekend for Wolves WODONGA Wolves men and women both tasted victory over the weekend in a tough double header. The men took a strong 64-52 victory over Shepparton Gators on Saturday night on the road before backing up on Sunday at home to post a 94-71 win over Echuca Pirates. The Lady Wolves continued their undefeated season with a decisive 83-38 win over the Lady Gators before dissecting the Lady Pirates on Sunday in a run and gun 99-62 victory. The Wolves were off to a sluggish first term against the Gators trailing by six points at the first break but Matt Asquith, in his first game for the season drained three big triples to keep in touch with the hosts and the Border boys went to the long break with just a four-point deficit. The Wolves continued from there in the third stanza to claim a six-point lead going to the final quarter and it was Asquith again who showed his class, hitting his seventh triple for the game in the final minute to ensure victory. In contrast Sunday’s game saw the Wolves hit their straps from the outset with a 30-point first term giving them a strong 10-point lead at the first break. From there they were never in trouble and continued to rack up the points to take their third win from four starts this season. The Lady Wolves are now undefeated

and it’s hard to imagine who could stop their barnstorming start to the season. Coach Mark de Koeyer has been working on a fast paced running game and he said all was running to plan at this stage. And the depth of the young side continues to go from strength to strength with all players racking up court time and improving with each game. De Koeyer said the team’s shooting percentage had also been on the improve, something he was hoping would continue throughout the season.

Nick leads scoring sprees SOME impressive performances by both teams and individuals were a result of this week’s round of junior O&M water polo on the weekend. The biggest personal bag was claimed by Nick Dempsey with six goals in Tigers Black’s strong 13-3 win over Sharks in the under 16 boys division. Dempsey spent the final term in goals making his effort even more impressive. Pool Pirates Bones managed a strong win over Makos while Northside Stingrays took a tight 8-6 win over Pirates Skulls. Liam Hickey for Stingrays and Isaac Edgar for Skulls both contributed four goals. For the girls Denika Lappin (4), Brooke Dickey (3) and Sarah O’Brien (3) combined to give Sharks a solid 12-7 victory over Tigers Yellow. Olivia Gallaway contributed three goals for Tigers. Northside Stingers managed a 4-2 win over Tigers Black while Pirates took an 8-4 win over Northside Rays. The 14 boys saw Sharks take a 12-8 win over Northside Stingrays with Michael Brownsea for Sharks and Brady Moreland for Stingrays both adding four goals. Harry Duck top scored with five goals for Sharks in their 11-4 win over Wodonga. Abe Spargo also chipped in for Sharks with four goals. Pirates Skulls struggled against a tough Tigers Black line up, going down with an 8-2

And for the girls Lappin and Dickie again combined with three and two goals respectively in Sharks’ 8-5 win over Northside Stingrays. Tigers took a well deserved 8-5 win over a combined Albury Wodonga team while Makos took a strong 8-1 win over Pirates Skulls, Ashleigh Gould adding four for the victors.

Nick’s big chance National squad selection drives will to succeed

BORDER water polo rising star, Nick Dempsey has been rewarded for his hard work with selection for the 2014 world junior championships target squad. Nick is among 21 other players and now has the chance to further enhance his skills through a national training program and possible international tour games leading up to the competition. And Nick was more than pleased with the selection, albeit a little surprised. “I didn’t even know they were picking a team then I got a text from Matt Hogan,” he said. “He just said ‘well done, you’ve made the team’, and I didn’t even know what team it was. “Then I had a look on the internet saw my name there … it was a buzz, I wasn’t expecting it.” At just 15 years of age it’s something Nick said he didn’t expect this early and after just his third real season of water polo is certainly a great effort. He now trains five days a week, a combination of gym, basketball pool work and plays water polo the remaining two days with the selection certainly adding to his passion and drive to succeed. “I’ve been training a lot more now that I’ve made that, I just want to do it even more,” Nick said. “I just love going to training, swimming in the morning … I’m still doing a little bit of basketball but I’m not playing representative basketball now because of this, I have to concentrate on this.” Nick’s mother, Trudy, said her and husband, Peter, were very proud of Nick’s efforts.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity,” she said. “For a country kid to be able to do it, it’s pretty special … we couldn’t wipe the grins off our faces!” David Lyall, media spokesman for Water Polo Australia said the squad was chosen with the aim of putting together the very best team for the 2014 world junior championships. Lyall said the recent fourth place by the national junior team in Greece was a good indication of the popularity and strength of the sport in the country and offered the juniors a superb opportunity to play water polo against some of the strongest nations in the world. “If we can finish in the top three or four in the world we’re doing really well,” he said. “Our senior team is currently ranked ninth in the world so for these junior teams to place much higher than that, it all looks good for the future.” Lyall said historically an international tour was organised prior to the world champs and international teams were offered tours of Australia which all provided invaluable experience for the young athletes. “This year they went over and had a training camp in Croatia and went on and played in Hungary,” he said. “It really is the home of water polo in Europe. “For these guys to get to go over and train and play with guys from Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Montenegro, Spain and Italy, the sort of countries where they pick up a water polo ball at age five, it’s a tremendous experience.”
