Motorists warned an organised group of thieves targeting valuables in cars

Gang at work By CAROLINE STRAINIG CAR owners have been warned to hide valuables and lock up their cars because an organised group of thieves may be at work in Albury Wodonga. Inspector Matthew Tishler of Albury police said a spate of thefts in recent weeks, with at least one or two incidents on most days, looked like the work of an organised group. “I think we have a hardcore group of

offenders at work here,” he said. “Stealing from motor vehicles is usually opportunistic. Someone walking past, seeing something lying around like a handbag, trying the door, finding it unlocked and taking it. “However, what I am seeing on our system indicates that thieves are actively trying to get into locked vehicles. It is mainly at night but during the day too.” Inspector Tishler said times had

changed and local motorists needed to take the same precautions as those in big cities. “You need to secure your valuables. If you have to leave them in the car, place them out of sight in the boot. Don’t tempt them,” he said. He also warned thieves were targeting older Toyota Camrys, with around six stolen in the past month. “The suspects may be using these

vehicles to become mobile to commit other offences – possibly they are even being used while stealing valuables from vehicles,” he said. “Until we apprehend them we don’t know.” The cars were being recovered with ignitions undamaged so it appeared the thieves had discovered an easy way to start older Camrys. Inspector Tishler suggested wheel

locks, immobilisers or leaving your car in a locked garage at night as sensible precautions. He also appealed for public help in apprehending the thieves. “Obviously the police cannot be everywhere at once, so if you see something suspicious let the police know,” Inspector Tishler said. “We rely on the community being our eyes and ears.”

By CAROLINE STRAINIG A MAJOR issue locally at the moment is the council budgets for the next financial year, with both councils releasing draft budgets proposing rate increases of just over six per cent or more. This is slightly more controversial in NSW, where a local government election is scheduled for September. Hammering councils for excessive rate increases is a popular way of winning votes and no doubt would-be Albury councillors will be doing just that. On the face of it, it does seem a good issue to campaign on. Most of us are on relatively fixed incomes and continuing rate increases above the CPI place added strain on the family budget. However, look behind the rate increases and do some investigation and you will soon start to understand why councils are opting for such increases. Aging infrastructure needs replacing and power bills and landfill costs will jump because of the carbon tax. It’s all too easy for would-be councillors to electioneer and criticise increases as excessive. What we need to ask ourselves in considering who to vote for at the next election is if the candidate in question can explain how they plan to keep rate rises down without compromising services. Just saying “Council should be more efficient� won’t cut it in itself. Cold, hard facts are needed. It should be an interesting few months in the lead up to the election as candidates trot out on their soap boxes.

MORE Australians than ever before are having difficulty paying their bills – if one statistic released by a government agency is any indication. According to the Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia, 14 people in Albury, nine in Lavington and 20 in Wodonga entered debt agreements with creditors during the March quarter, which is an agreement with creditors to pay off debts. Fifty two, 24 and 50 respectively filed for bankruptcy. Nation-wide, while bankruptcy figures did not reach record levels (5550), debt agreement activity for the March quarter was the highest result on record (2479), an increase of 33.86 per cent on the March 2011 quarter. Debtors entering debt agreements nominated excessive use of credit facilities, including losses

New valuations kick into force

Another year, another rise

Swings and roundabouts

By BLAIR THOMSON

By CAROLINE STRAINIG

HOW DID YOUR PROPERTY FARE?… New valuations will be factored into your rates from 1 July. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON dressing the Albury Northside Chamber of Commerce about council’s 2012-13 budget, Mr Keys said the valuations and whatever rate increase council adopted on 28 May would come into play when people received their next rates bill at the beginning of the financial year, which starts on 1 July. He said home and business owners could obtain an estimate by going online to council’s website and inputting the new valuation figures released in March in a rates calculator. To do so simply go to www.alburycity.nsw.gov.au, click on “Public exhibitions”, “Draft operational 2012-13 plan” and then “Rates calculator”. Mr Keys said said .04 per cent of the 6.09 per cent proposed rate in-

crease this year had been authorised by the state government because of the impact of the carbon tax, with a further .03 per cent to follow next year and .01 the year after. He said this was only a tiny fraction of what the carbon tax would actually cost council. “We expect next year’s power bill to go up 23 per cent, $1.27m, of which $450,000 to $500,000 will be because of the carbon tax. The extra rate increase allowed for the carbon tax will bring in only about $125,000 next year,” he said. Council had made provision for this in its budgeting. Anyone who envisages having difficulty paying their rates is asked to contact council staff to discuss avenues such as payment plans.

WODONGA ratepayers will soon have to dig a little deeper after the council announced a seven per cent rate rise in its draft budget. The $66m budget – about half of which will come from rates and charges – includes a $7m spend on the CBD and central business areas, $2.2m on roads, and $400,000 to upgrade the Stanley Street preschool. More than $500,000 will be spent upgrading the council’s IT services, $180,000 on playgrounds and $100,000 has been allocated to demolish the Stanley Street pool. Mayor Mark Byatt said while nobody enjoyed a rate rise, it was necessary to grow the city. “I don’t think anybody likes to see rate increases of any magnitude to be honest,” he said. “But the indications are that it costs around four per cent of an increase to maintain the status quo. “For a growing city like Wodonga – as I’ve said on many occasions, the fastest growing city in regional Victoria – we need to cater for that growth, that high level of services that we provide, that high level of lifestyle and amenity that we provide but also start to invest in that growth and development of our city.”

CEO Patience Harrington said the council hoped to increase childhood immunisations, improve housing affordability and grow the local economy. Cr Byatt said the budget didn’t rely on land sales and the council would only take that money into account “when it’s in the bank”. “Then we’ll allocate that resource into the appropriate space,” he said. “There are three main spaces for that: debt reduction, one is to reduce borrowings, and the other is investments in the city.” He added that “opportunity knocks in Wodonga” with 40 hectares of vacant VicTrack and

Places Victoria land. “That is something that is quite an exciting project, it is something we should take on board, we need to support with finances, we need to support with resources, and we need to support with our planning,” he said. Cr Byatt acknowledged the budget would put further strain on households, but added that ratepayers wanted a range of services and a healthy city, which came at a cost. A forum to discuss the budget will be held at Wodonga Library from 5pm on 24 May. Copies of the budget are online, at the council offices, library and community centres.

NEXT time you pay your rates, you may be in for a bit of a surprise if you live in NSW. Not only is Albury Council expected to adopt a draft budget when it meets on 28 May which will result in rates going up by 6.09 per cent, but new property valuations will kick in. The NSW Valuer General reviewed residential and property valuations in March and because rates are calculated on a percentage of those valuations the new figures will impact on how much you pay. Adopted rate increase aside, if your house or business valuation has gone up, you will pay more; if it has gone down, less. Albury Council acting general manager Michael Keys said residential property in the Albury region actually decreased in value by 2.2 per cent across the board since the last valuations were conducted three years ago. But the decrease was not universal and some areas where development was pushing ahead had gone up considerably. These included Thurgoona, Table Top and Splitters Creek. “I think that basically the valuations are a recognition of what has been happening around the city in terms of development for the past five years,” Mr Keys said.

Thieves target cafĂŠ in bungled ram-raid By BLAIR THOMSON

BURNT OUT‌ The remains of the vehicle used in the ram-raid. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON

THIEVES targeted the St Ives Biere CafÊ on the Lincoln Causeway in a bungled ram-raid last Saturday morning between 2am and 3am. An older model Nissan utility, which had been stolen from Albury, was reversed through the doors of the pub, smashing two large glass windows. A hooded passenger in the ute’s tray jumped from the vehicle and tied a rope on the tow ball around an ATM. They then drove off, snapping the rope, and the would-be thieves left without any money.

Restaurant falls foul of hard times By BLAIR THOMSON NANDO’S in Lavington has closed, leaving six staff without jobs. But co-owner Sally Mutton hopes to re-open the restaurant in a more prominent location. Ms Mutton said the future of the store had been “up in the air� since it closed last weekend. “We probably feel we would be better situated in a Dean Street environment,� she said. “We’ll possibly be looking at that. “There wasn’t enough trade here, that’s the bottom line. “We haven’t got any plans whatsoever for the site at this point. We just want to get

through this week and then think about the future.� Ms Mutton said a lack of customers had forced the restaurant, which opened September 2010, to close. You.4.Coffee will continue to trade from the same building. “We’d like to thank our loyal customers and my staff, who have been absolutely great,� Ms Mutton said. Ms Mutton and her husband Alan bought out Scott and Yolana Andrews some time ago. The franchise is up for sale, and if the current owners wanted to move to a new location, they would have to keep ownership of the franchise.

SHUT SHOP‌ Nando’s, located at the Five-Ways in Lavington, has closed. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON Nando’s replaced a Blockbuster video store at the site. Albury video game store GAME is also on shaky ground after the head company was placed into administration

He said the ram-raid was the first such incident since thieves used a ute to break into KTM Motorcycles in High Street in July 2011. Thieves also left empty handed after breaking in to the Wodonga Middle Years College around 12.30am Monday morning. “They managed to prise open an alloy sliding window with a tool of some description and broke into the staff room,� Det Sleep said. “The alarm was triggered but nothing was stolen. There was minor damage to the window.�

“They appeared to have done some planning and been prepared,� Detective Murray Sleep said. “But the ATM is fairly well secured; they’re designed to be hard to remove.� The vehicle was found burnt-out near the Wodonga Creek at about 3.30am. “The damage to the building is fairly significant,� Det Sleep said. “There’s the two glass doors and frames that needed to be replaced, which would be fairly expensive.� Det Sleep said there were no witnesses to the incident and police were relying on security camera footage in their investigations.

this week. A staff member said it was business as usual in the short term, but the long-term future of the store can’t be guaranteed.

Cat-napper on the prowl CAT owners have been warned a cat-napper may be on the prowl. A reader rang in to let other pet owners know five cats had been stolen from Townsend Street in Howlong in mysterious circumstances. “Four went missing from one house and one from my son’s house and all vanished within a week or so,� she said. “We have no idea what happened to them. “None of the cats was known for wandering, and we have contacted the pound and all the vets and looked everywhere for them without success. “It is a real mystery. All

we can think is that someone took them. We hope if that is the case that it is because they wanted them as pets.� All the cats were microchipped and desexed and reasonably tame, although would not normally approach a stranger. Seven kittens at one of the properties were not taken. Anyone who finds a cat which may be one of the missing cats – not necessarily in Howlong as it is possible they may be dumped elsewhere is asked to contact their local council ranger. Anyone who has information relating to who took the cats should contact police.

Leaping for a lost cause Screens on the way for Union Bridge By BLAIR THOMSON LEAPING from the Union Bridge into the Murray may soon become a thing of the past, with plans to install safety screens by the end of the year. NewsWeekly ran photos of three high-school students jumping from the bridge three months ago; now the Roads and Maritime Service wants to ban the practice once and for all. “That coverage does persuade someone that a barrier is required, because the signs aren’t having an effect,” Albury MP Greg Aplin said. “It’s foolhardy behaviour and where it’s identified, authorities should try to take preventative action. “The government is keen to undertake action on it and there is now money behind it.” Warning signs were installed in 2008, but the practice remains common. Mr Aplin said thrill-seekers risked hitting submerged snags, floating logs, or the

program,” Cathy said. “Liam has been with us almost two years. He started on camps and quickly became invaluable.” Liam’s situation is unique. On a family holiday in New Zealand he suffered a heart attack at just 15 years of age and was clinically dead for around 55 minutes. After recovering he returned to Melbourne and following an extended stay in hospital returned to the volunteer role he’d grown to love. Liam said the reward he gained from helping was enough to keep him involved. “You know, that feeling you get, like meeting Jacob each week and having his smile and people reminding me of what I’ve done,” he said.

TWO young volunteers from Upper Murray Family Care’s Interchange program have been nominated for Wodonga Council’s annual Red Carpet awards. Sixteen-year-old Liam Shay and 15-year-old Clare Rowland, both volunteers for Interchange, have been nominated for their work helping children with disabilities. Interchange recreation coordinator Cathy Prior said the pair were worthy to receive the award given their level of commitment. “Clare has been with our program about six months and in that time she has volunteered almost every week for camps, youth groups, school holiday programs and the after-school

“It’s self-pride. Personally I feel as if I gain knowledge; knowing that you do something that affects someone’s life. I love it.” Clare was equally as passionate about her role. “It’s definitely been good just getting to see they have fun and helping them have fun,” she said. Liam and Clare said that their volunteer duties were far from being a burden and actually improved their social life. Clare offered this advice to those contemplating a volunteering role with Interchange. “If you want to do it just come in and say hi to Cathy,” she said. “You get to do a lot of fun things and the kids are just brilliant fun.”

the safety screen. “I think it should be something that still allows people to have a view over the Murray and its banks,” Mr Aplin said. A workshop seeking input will be held on 30 May. For more information call 131 782.

Students ‘on trial’ DOZENS of local high school students appeared in court this week. Teenagers from four schools took part in mock trials at the old Albury Court House as part of Law Week, education and crime prevention the main aim. The experience further cemented Year 10 Xavier High student Taylor Roberson’s desire to become a lawyer. “It was quite fun and quite challenging to think on the spot,” she said. “I think we went really well, and I think we presented our evidence and cornered the witnesses very well. “I expected it to be very formal and scary and it’s nothing like you imagine … it’s nothing like TV.” Taylor acted as lead prosecutor in Tuesday’s court case, which focused on

a break and enter allegedly committed by an Albury High student. Actual lawyers and judges were involved in the proceedings. “I think it’s very important for kids to realise how complex the system actually is and what happens if they were to get into that system,” Sen Const Louise Smuthwaite said. “It educates them on how the legal system works and the different procedures that make up a court trial. “It also aims to keep them out of that system.” Trinity College and Scots School students also participated in the activities, and legal professionals held an educational talk to share their experiences.

Hume lunch helps hit the right note

By BLAIR THOMSON

THE Hume Building Society Mother’s Day Lunch staged last Friday raised $12,000 towards equipping the Fight Cancer Foundation’s Albury Wodonga Accommodation Centre. As if that wasn’t enough in itself, the society used the occasion to announce it was donating a further $25,000, bringing the total to $37,000. All the money will go towards providing the necessary equipment, furnishings and other items for use by residents of the new Fight Cancer centre. The special event for Mother’s Day – held at the Gypsy Gardens function centre – featured Tom Burlinson performing songs from his extensive repertoire, including hits of Dean Martin, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr, Bobby Darin and the legendary Frank Sinatra.

Holler for all your battery needs HAVE you hollered for a Marshall lately? Marshall Batteries in Lavington can help, and not just for your car. Kyle Wandel and Gary Poidevin branched out and opened the doors of their Lavington business around 12 months ago after four years of servicing the region through their Corowa store. The two stores have the knowledge and the products to keep you powered up whether it be for an automotive, leisure or even medical application. Marshall Batteries are a major dealer in the region for Sonnenschein batteries, the number one product in the world for dry-fit gel applications. Sonnenschein provide batteries for such applications as wheel chairs, mobility scooters and golf buggies, are manufactured in Germany and according to Mr Wandel are “the best of the best”. Marshall Batteries cover solar needs for mobile situations such as camping, they provide batteries for heavy machinery, farms, tractors, boats, motor-homes, fishfinders, alarm battery back-ups, roller doors, spot-light kits, model aeroplanes, ultra-lights and have a range of charging systems available. Mr Poidevin said mobile applications were becoming quite popular with more people taking all the comforts of home on holiday. “If you go away for a week you can take a set of solar cells with you

and stay there,” he said. “The off-roaders are able to take their panels with them and follow the sun. People are requiring better electricity because the energy required to run a computer or microwave is a pure electricity and you’ve got to be able to produce it.” Mr Wandel said the business concentrated on not being the cheapest supplier in town but being the best. He said the personal service offered by the business ensured customers were given the right advice and the best product for their requirement. “There’s plenty of places you can buy a battery but what we do is fit the battery to the customer’s needs,” he said. “We sometimes have customers who we may spend up to an hour with. They might buy one unit after that but they go not only with the right application for the job but hopefully with some information on how to care for the product so we don’t see them back with issues.” Marshall Batteries not only provide the most modern battery technology but also provide the correct application for older vehicles, ensuring longevity for the customer’s specific needs. “Marshall Batteries are one of the only companies still to offer older technology in batteries,” Mr Wandel said. “If you have a pre-97 vehicle the new maintenance-free calcium

batteries are not designed for your car. If you buy a battery that’s not designed for your car it will cause you grief and will have a shorter life than it should.” Marshall Batteries also offer service and repairs for such electrical applications as golf buggies and forklifts either on-site or in their workshop. “If we fit batteries to a golf buggy we’ll service it for free twice a year,” Mr Wandel said.

“We give a report to let the customer know of the condition of the battery and give them advice on maintaining it. “If the batteries aren’t maintained they can leak acid which causes corrosion. “We have the ability to pull the batteries out, clean and rust-proof everything. It’s not just a matter of wham-bam, thank you and good luck down the track.” Mr Poidevin said this attention

to detail and a willingness to go the extra mile has paid dividends through positive customer feedback. “We’re very proud that we are getting customers coming back saying ‘thank you very much, what you told us was correct’,” he said. So if you need a new battery for any application or advice on what product might best suit your needs be sure to give the team at Marshall Batteries a call on 02 6025 9414.

Frock up – but don’t forget your sand shoes By TREVOR JACKSON “FROCK up and wear a pair of sand shoes.� That’s the advice from Border Cystic Fibrosis president Mark Blackley ahead of its annual cocktail party on 26 May at the Albury racecourse. The night is dubbed ‘Running the Race for Cystic Fibrosis’ with a dress code of semi formal ‘with runners’. The idea of the runners came about after two young men from Melbourne decided to run from the Victorian capital to Albury to participate in the night and raise awareness along the way. Popular entertainer Steve Bowen will be on hand and is sure to provide a night of fun and entertainment. Silent auctions and raffles will be running throughout the evening as well as other fun events such as yabby racing and hobby-horse racing with the focus on raising funds and awareness for CF in the local region. Mr Blackley said he was looking forward to another good event after the success of previous years. “It’s our main fundraiser for the year, and we use all the money we raise to support local families,� he said. “This year we hope to get over 300 people and we will be running a courtesy bus from Albury and Wodonga to take people out to the race course then bring them back to town for the

Army needs a helping hand to come knocking PARTY TIME‌ Steve Bowen and Mark Blackley are dressed up and ready to party for this year’s annual Border Cystic Fibrosis cocktail party. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON night clubs.â€? Mr Blackley said the event was generally well patronised and with around 20 families in the region having children suffering from CF it’s no surprise. “It’s always been well received,â€? he said. “It’s a struggle to get items for auction night but the group works very hard on the function. We don’t have a financial target. We’d love to raise $5000 but it’s about raising awareness, having a good night and getting the message out there about cystic fibrosis. “All money raised goes to a good cause and stays locally.â€?

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that primarily affects the lungs of young sufferers but also the outward secreting glands and digestion. Their bodies produce a thick, sticky mucus that’s difficult to remove and can harbour bacteria. They require daily physiotherapy to clear the mucus from their lungs and their bodies don’t absorb fat and nutrition like we normally do. CF kids need to take enzymes and many of them are on antibiotics their whole lives. There is no cure. For further information about the night contact Mark Blackley on 0400 913 992.

By CAROLINE STRAINIG THE Salvation Army will be knocking on your door this Sunday as part of their annual Red Shield Appeal– but they need your help to do so. “We are desperately short of door-knockers,� Lieutenant Bindy Lupis of the Albury church said. “It’s not just in Albury Wodonga, but across the country. “If anyone can spare even a couple of hours, we’d love them to come along. The more people we have, the more houses we cover and more money we raise.� To make it more appealing for volunteers, in Albury Wodonga they have also put their traditional starting time of 9am back until 11am.

Volunteers can visit www. salvos.org.au for more information or just front up at 11am at their local church in Lavington or Wodonga. Lieutenant Lupis said the army might have to look at updating/revamping the doorknock appeal next year if there was not a last-minute surge of volunteers. “Maybe we need to look at something a little more modern,� she said. She said the appeal was the army’s major fundraiser of the year, with most of the money going to social programs, both local and in capital cities, which include drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres. The army has never had more demand for help of all kinds.

%$.(5 027256

“People are hurting and we are seeing many more firsttimers asking for help, people who never thought they’d be in this position and have always been able to just get by, who now need help to pay their electricity bills and buy food,� Lieutenant Lupis said. “It is very hard for them because a lot of pride is involved.� All door-knockers will be given 2012 Salvation Army identification and work as part of a team. Where someone is out, they will leave a donation envelope, which can be dropped off at any Salvation Army church or shop or at any Westpac branch. Border residents can also help boost funds by patronising army second-hand stores in Lavington and Wodonga.

Your opportunity to help out overseas

INSPIRING 22-year-old Emma Hallam will share her experiences about volunteering in Poland in 2008 at a forthcoming information evening in Albury. Emma volunteered as a teacher at Laski Institute for the Blind and gained an immense amount from her time away. “My volunteering experience broadened my mind to discover what is actually out there in the world,” she said. “I was able to meet new people on the other side of the world and at my placement I was able to help them.” Emma organised her placement with Lattitude Global Volunteering, an international youth development charity that offers a wide variety of opportunities in 12 countries. Ideally suited to 17 to 25-year-olds who are looking to challenge themselves, Lattitude is now recruiting volunteers for 2013 and will be holding an information session on Monday 21 May at the Albury Entertainment Centre starting at 7pm. For more information about the Lattitude program, visit www.lattitude.org.au or call 03 9826 6266.

home entertainment WITH GEOFF HABERECHT OF TRU HIFI

Putting vinyl on hard drive RECENTLY I enjoyed the performances of the Beatles tribute bands and I had to stop and wonder why these artists are as popular today as 40 years ago, whether it be Abba, Elvis, or The Doors. The first reaction was that music provides the memory timeline to your life and the reliving of those experiences, good or bad. It was time last weekend that I started to practice what I have preached to customers for some time about putting favourite vinyl records to the hard drive. While doing this I looked for the logical reason why I shouldn’t record my albums, with recording engineers 30 years later that have all this new high technology and digitized wizardry taking the originals to new technical higher level of audio excellence. Versions of 20 and 30-year anniversary remasters, surround sound, DTS versions and so forth, having bought several versions of the same album along the way. To further justify “why not� to do it I looked for the

With iTunes at 128K vs. the original CD at 600K, it was easy to understand CD was going to be better, the 20th anniversary now reaching 850K and recently a later version topping 1000K. Technology had improved over the past 25 years. After an hour of recording my beloved Rolling Stones album I decided to do the AB comparison just to prove

it once and for all so I can let the albums gather dust. I now know why more record-producing plants and more turntable models are entering the market than CD plants and CD player models. To my ears I like the sound. The Beatles Tribute bands rejuvenated one of my things to do. I now wonder why I did not do it years ago.

By BLAIR THOMSON A SHOW which mixes old-school glamour with the burlesque revival comes to the Albury Entertainment Centre tonight. Bring Back the Showgirl, described as a “glamorous and sexy” performance, features award-winning Australian performers including current Miss Burlesque World Cassandra Jane. Jane has performed since 1999 and said the show was similar to the traditional performances held in Parisian and Hollywood burlesque venues. “When I first started in 1999 we would be working in up to 15 venues a week and would perform with big-name adult entertainers such as Cassie Tyler and Gorgie Girl,” she said. “Yes, they were adult entertainers or ‘strippers’, but their style was all about elaborate costumes, presentation, glamour, choreography and class. “This craft has been lost over the past 10 years, as the showgirl has gone from being sexy to sexual. “Bring Back the Showgirl is bringing the ‘show’ back into the girl.” Albury is the only regional city the show will visit during this tour and a tour of the US is expected to

NEW… Dallas Frasca has a new album and a new sound to her name. She plays with her band at The Albion tonight.

New sound, new album By BLAIR THOMSON (M)

“IT’S JUST a really exciting time for the band,” says red dreadlocked musician Dallas Frasca with passion in her voice. “I feel we’ve kind of been away for a long time, two years where we’ve been playing shows, but nothing like what we’re now embarking on.” The blues rocker and Wangaratta native recently released her latest album, recorded with her self-titled band. Featuring “big, fat-assed guitar riffage” and a distinct soul and blues vibe, Sound Painter was recorded in Brooklyn with renowned producer Andy Baldwin, with songs from the album to feature at tonight’s (Friday) gig at The Albion. While the recording process is a hard slog for any band, the three-piece had a few extra issues to deal with. “There were mishaps, adventures and things we had to overcome,” Frasca said. “We came back from a tour and had a large sum of money stolen from us. “We ended up putting it out to our fans and they raised $5500 to cover the

“We’ve definitely evolved from the blues and roots band that we started as.” Currently on tour, Frasca has noticed more people attending the band’s gigs. “It’s so great to be where we want to be,” she said. “I find I’m settled in my soul when we’re on the road and we’re travelling, meeting people, seeing Australia and the world. “I love it. “All of us are content, we’re in our prime when we’re on our way to a gig.” Frasca is certainly keen to return the region. “I’m looking forward to getting home,” she said. “That’s where all my favourite bands are, those big, amazing bands from around that area. “After this we’re looking to tour Europe and play some shows in the US so it’s all very exciting.” Dallas Frasca plays at The Albion tonight.

stolen cash. “Then after the album was finished we had a listening part in NY with a laptop with pretty much the only copy of the album, and it was stolen. “But we figured out who it was and said ‘you’ve got an hour, we know it’s you, give it back’ and got it back with no police involvement.” Dramas aside, Frasca is happy with the record, saying it captures the essence of the band which has been missing from previous releases. “We sat down when we found our drummer Pete McDonald towards the start of last year and said we wanted to capture everybody’s strength in every single song, in every moment that the album went for,” she said. “I just really felt people had only heard 10 per cent of what Jeff’s capable of as a guitarist and myself as a singer. “It was about capturing everyone’s strength. “Until we were 100 per cent sold that okay, that song’s done we’d keep working.

MOVIE: The Dictator (MA) DURATION: 83 minutes ONE OF my old high school teachers once told me Sacha Baron Cohen, best known for his breakthrough character Ali G at the time, was a one-hit wonder. It would be impossible to back up the success of Ali G, he said, and people would soon tire of the dimwitted white-boy gangster character, just like they did with Effie, Con the Fruiterer and Guido Hatsis. A decade later, Cohen is still turning everything he touches to gold. Borat and Bruno were both highly successful on the big screen, their in-

terviews with unsuspecting victims a source of great mirth. He pushed the boundaries of good taste, creating unique and edgy comedy with a touch of witty observation. It was always going to be tough for Cohen to create another successful character, but with Admiral General Shabazz Aladeen, he’s again hit the mark. The Dictator, shot with a standard storyline rather than spliced interview clips, follows Aladeen as he risks his life to make sure democracy never comes to his oppressed country of Wadiya. The tyrant, who lists Bin Laden, Gaddafi, and Kim Jong-il as friends and allies, is forced by the UN to visit

New York and explain his nuclear program. Once there, things go awry and he finds himself dishevelled and lost on the streets like a common hobo. The film is littered with jokes about 9/11, life and politics in the Middle East and the occasional slapstick gag, most of which create an eruption of laughter. While it’s all in good fun, a pot shot at the state of democracy in America is as succinct and poignant a comment as has ever been made on the topic. It’s brilliantly funny and certainly up there with his best work. It will be interesting to see what Cohen’s next move is.

Changes on way at Hume Resort European experience adds new zest to menu ALL SEASONS Albury Lake Hume Resort is going from strength to strength. While the resort - which is a holiday retreat, function, conference and wedding centre, and a restaurant with bar and wine list - has always provided a level of excellence, further improvements are being made. “Our new general manager, Rhys Van Camp, was appointed last week,” event sales coordinator Jennifer Wiencke said. “And our talented new chef Jason Gratton also joined the team recently, bringing with him an extensive new menu which has seen standards jump up. “He is originally from the local area but has spent 16 years in Europe cooking for some top restaurants over there. “So there are definitely some exciting things happening here.” One of the best things about the resort, apart from its service, is its facilities. “We usually have 35 to 40 weddings here each year that can fit 220 people nice and comfortably,” Ms Wiencke said. “We do value add; if somebody is after something in particular, we’re more than happy to help them out.” Previous events have seen 400 people stay at the resort. “They come out, relax, may-

be have some dinner in the BBQ pit, which is always popular, and we’ve got a wide range of accommodation for them to stay in,” Ms Wiencke said. “The group we had in last week we had organised yabby racing one day, then karaoke the next. “We can definitely arrange any special request.” The resort is also popular with car clubs with the number of carports a positive for owners. “Last year we had the Wheels Car of the Year out here with some well known car writers, and they flew in Eric Bana by helicopter for the day,” Ms Wiencke said. “They had lunch here and tested and used all of the roads through Talgarno to see how the cars performed. “They loved the location. “Being so close to the lake, which is about 85 per cent full, it’s great, it’s beautiful.” Some rooms have already been refurbished at the resort, and there are plans for further refurbishments. The All Seasons Albury Lake Hume Resort serves dinner each night of the week. For more information call the resort on 6026 4444 or visit lakehumeresort.com.au

Walking to inspire Energy at expo CHARLES Sturt University’s (CSU) new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Andrew Vann, officially opened an interpretive walk around Australia’s first truly environmentally friendly university campus in Albury earlier this month. “The Albury Wodonga Campus is a developing, dynamic model of how communities can address environmental concerns and create sustainable environments,” Professor Vann said. Among the features of the campus are rammed earth buildings, ‘natural’ air conditioning, composting toilets, and an award-winning building rated at six green stars for energy efficiency, the highest rating in Australia. All these features are explained as part of an extensive system of signs placed around the campus grounds and buildings. Various buildings on the campus have also won local, state-wide and national building and architectural awards and have been recognised and opened by the current Governor-General, Her Excellency the Hon. Quentin Bryce, AC, as well as various federal and state leaders and ministers. “Hundreds of people – school children, special interest groups and university students as well as local ‘walkers’ – visit the campus each year to learn about these features. We have responded by putting up signs that help explain these sustainable design principles,” Professor Vann said. The campus water management system, which has won NSW and national awards, features artificial

This includes the endangered Southern Pygmy Perch, for which a refuge has been established in the wetlands. This species is part of a research project being undertaken by CSU research student and Fisheries NSW conservation officer Luke Pearce. Visitors can commence the selfguided walk between the Gums Café and the CD Blake underground lecture theatre, which are near the main car park off the Elizabeth Mitchell Drive entrance, Thurgoona. “The new signage allows Border people to get a better insight into what we have achieved and continue to do on our Albury Wodonga Campus,” Professor Vann said. The development is supported by

staff, students and courses offered on CSU in Albury Wodonga, with Drs Jonathon Howard from the School of Environmental Sciences and Dr John Rafferty from the School of Education coordinating the project. They were assisted by students enrolled in degrees in early childhood and primary education and parks, recreation and heritage which are offered at CSU in Albury Wodonga. A recent addition to the buildings on the campus is the Murray Children’s Centre, which caters for 0 to 5 year olds and is open to the people of Albury Wodonga as well as CSU students and staff. A new Wellbeing and Health Centre, which will include the Allied Health Clinic currently located on Olive Street in central Albury, is due to open at Thurgoona in 2013.

WITH the carbon tax cutting in on July 1, many things will increase – including power and tipping fees. This makes it a great time to look at cutting costs and minimising your impact on the enviornment at the same time. North-east Victoria’s first Energy Expo on Sunday 20 May at the Oxley Hall, in the Milawa gourmet region near Wangaratta, is a great opportunity to bone up on the latest information and products. Entry is free and the expo will feature a diversity of presentations and exhibits, including an innovative solar oven used by Michelle Croker and her family. “This cooker was a birthday gift for my husband and in summer it gets used most weekends to cook up a curry or stew. It works like a slow cooker using only the heat of the sun and bringing a wonderful flavour out in the food,” Ms Croker said. Regional Landcare facilitator David Cromarty said Michelle’s solar cooker was a bit of a curiosity item, but other exhibits at the expo

JUST COOKING… Michelle Croker’s innovative solar oven will be on display at the expo. Picture: AMBER CROFT would feature some serious cost-saving ideas. “Exhibits will include everything from solar panels and solar water pumps to make-your-own biodiesel, double-glaze retrofits, biofuel heaters, and farm telemetry, to name a few,” he said. The speaker program will include a panel discussion on the merits of various heater stoves. The ‘Speed Date a Sustainable Designer’ event – 15minute consultations with

experts – has attracted considerable interest and bookings are essential if you want to be sure of a spot. The expo will run from 10am until 4pm and includes children’s entertainment and food stalls. Oxley is located just 10 minutes from Wangaratta in the heart of the Milawa gourmet region. For more information phone Lizette Salmon on 6059 4185.

Halve Waste winning waste war Eleven per cent overall reduction achieved THE Halve Waste Campaign is celebrating an 11 per cent reduction in total waste buried at the Albury Waste Management Centre and an astounding 31 per cent reduction in household waste entering. “This reduction in household waste, measured against pre-campaign figures, is one of the most significant in Australia,” a spokesperson for the campaign said. “Overall, when combined with commercial and industrial and construction and demolition waste, the reduction stands at 11 per cent, which is testament to the commitment of not only households but local businesses too.” Last Saturday, Sue Smith from Beechworth claimed the 2000th compost bin when she attended a compost workshop at the Botanic Gardens, one of the campaign’s initiatives to aid households in diverting their organic waste from landfill. As well as working with residents, the campaign is assisting local businesses to reduce waste through two campaign initiatives - the signing of the campaign’s pledge of commitment and the offer of a free waste

assessment for any business by waste experts. To date over 600 pledges have been signed and nearly 300 waste assessments have been conducted. One such business which has reaped the benefits of this program is Mercy Health in Albury. “Mercy Health, Albury have been setting high targets to reduce their contribution to landfill and to reduce their carbon footprint,” Aileen Ferguson of Mercy Health said. “Halve Waste have conducted two audits at Mercy Health over the past 18 months, and have provided strong guidance with recommendations to assist in reducing waste. “Mercy Health are very happy with the support of the local council in proving a service such as Halve Waste, the audits and promotions used highlight the need to improve waste management facility wide.” A student-based video competition to write and film the new Halve Waste ad campaign to be aired on Prime and Win television is also underway. See www.facebook.com/pages/ halvewaste for more details.

Saving power can save you money

Five ways you can cut it YOU can save money on your energy bills by applying simple energy efficient rules in the home. Mark Brownfield of AGL said straightforward lifestyle changes could make a noticeable difference to a household’s power bills, especially heading into the chilly season. “Combining these steps with other incremental changes to our daily lives can make a big difference to the power bill, he said.� The fist rule is to wipe the lights. Dusty lights can dim lighting by up to half. Next, keep a lid on it when you are cooking. Hearty home meals are a winter staple but be sure to keep a lid on saucepans, using just

enough water to cover vegetables to reduce cooking time and energy usage. Switching to the microwave when appropriate also cuts energy use. Water usage is another area. Fill the sink half way and avoid washing dishes in hot running water; instead fill the sink with only what is necessary. A fridge can account for seven per cent of total household energy use so open it as little as possible, and try and keep it three-quarters full. Water containers are useful to fill empty space because the fridge operates most efficiently when it’s at least three-quarters full. In the backyard, running your pool filter for 6-8 hours during winter is plenty. MURRAY VALLEY RECYCLERS 106 Fallon Street, Albury NSW 2640 (02) 60 401 304

WITH energy prices rising and predicted to rise even more now is the perfect time for home builders, home owners and business to investigate sound strategies and products that can reduce their power bills, according to a spokesperson for Planet Power. “The NSW, Victorian and federal government have recently announced changes to the solar bonus scheme which has led to confusion in the minds of people looking to use solar as a way to manage the cost of energy use in their premises,� they said. “The fact remains that taking steps to reduce your home or office’s energy consumption is still a wise strategy moving forward. “There are still excellent government rebates available for home owners and business that take steps to lower their electricity usage. “We want to get the message across that rebates are still available and with heavily reduced system prices Planet Power makes the investment even more affordable for your household.� Planet Power’s focus is to provide the broadest range of top-quality products including hydronic heating, split-system

Patients with heart issues, and those wanting to check their general cardiac health, now have more options for checkups at The X-ray Group’s service at Albury Base Hospital. “We’ve almost doubled the number of appointments that have been made available to patients,” general manager Wayne Ashton said. “We have a fully qualified cardiac sonographer, Moira Du Plessis, who does all heart ultrasounds for anything relating to heart conditions. “And anyone with a heart condition often has a scan as a first check when they start their treatments, and to monitor patients during their treatment.” The cardiac ultrasound service covers both in-patients and out-patients at the hospital and complements the nuclear medicine cardiac imaging services introduced in 2011. “It’s an area we’ve been growing very rapidly,” Mr Ashton said. “Moira has enabled us to open more of our services to patients, which is just fantastic.” The X-Ray Group now runs cardiac services from the hospital on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with no out-ofpocket expenses for Medicare eligible examinations.

Try to stay away from excessive sugars and fats. Exercise before meals It’s very difficult to exercise before every meal so let’s just focus on EBB, exercise before breakfast! This little heart-starter only needs to be 10-15 minutes but it needs to be aerobic to get your heartrate up and your metabolism racing, this will warm you up and kick-start your day. Recover Adequate recovery is equally as important as each training session. The faster we recover, the sooner and stronger we can train again. Training doesn’t stop when the workout finishes. You need to recognise recovery as a part of your training. Have a protein shake, take a hot and cold contrast shower and then stretch for 15-30 minutes after every training session to ensure your body is in tip-top shape for the next one. Reward yourself! Working hard is made so much easier when there’s a reward at the end. Maybe try an alternate activity, like gokarting or something extreme to reward yourself for your efforts.

Fernwood opens doors for a day FERNWOOD fitness centre is a gym with a difference. The centre is for women only and caters for women of all ages. Any women thinking about joining a gym who may have some reservations are being invited to attend an open day on 23 May to see what it is all about. “The open day is for everyone to come and have a look and see what

Fernwood Fitness has to offer,” owner Ann Wilkesmann said. “If they want to they can try a class on the day but they will need to book.” Fernwood offers complete programs for women with weight management and all-female personal trainers in a comfortable environment. “Our trainers and staff are all girls,” Ms Wilkesmann said.

“Ladies can feel comfortable here. We have a large variety of group fitness classes to suit all fitness levels as well as all the cardio and strength equipment you could ever want. We have state-of-the-art cardio equipment that has personal TV, internet access and iPod connectivity.” Having operated on the Border for around 18 months, Ms Wilkesmann said the centre had been very well received.

“It’s a really nice sanctuary for women to come to and it’s fairly comfortable for them to be amongst only women,” she said. “For our open day we will be running a one-day-only special. If you join for 12 months on the day we will waive the joining fee, and give you 10 per cent discount on your membership. “If you have ever wondered what a gym would be like, or whether you

would fit in, now’s the time to find out.” For more information call Fernwood on 6021 0986 or to book for the day.

New pilates studio at Flex Out Physio PILATES is a method of body conditioning that integrates muscle control, flexibility, strength training and body awareness and is now being offered by Flex Out Physiotherapy. “Based around developing powerful core postural muscles, all exercises are low impact and are performed either on a floor mat or special pilates equipment,� a spokesperson said. “Pilates can help to alleviate pain, tone and strengthen muscles, improve posture and balance, enhance sporting performance and assist in injury recovery and rehabilitation. “Pilates focuses on activating the deep postural stabilising muscles, in particular the abdominals and pelvic floor, as well as increasing flexibility and improving the body’s movement efficiency. “Because of this, pilates is highly effective in managing low back pain, neck, upper back and shoulder pain, hip and knee pain, work-related pain, pregnancy and postnatal recovery, specific sports injuries and technique enhancement, arthritis and general stiffness and osteoporosis.� Due to its low-impact nature, pilates can be beneficial for people of all ages and fitness levels. “If you are in general good health and have no injuries, you

would normally be suitable to undertake spinal fitness classes (SFC),� the spokesperson said. “However, if you are suffering from any injuries or certain other conditions such as osteoporosis then SFC may not be suitable. “In this case we would recommend a pilates equipment program. Pilates equipment is often used for rehabilitation purposes as well as for specific body conditioning requirements, such as those of sports people and dancers. “During your assessment the

physio will recommend the best option for your needs. “Like any exercise regime, the more you do, the quicker you will see results. “We generally recommend that you attend twice a week for six weeks to get the full benefits that pilates is renowned for.� Anyone who would like to start pilates for the first time is required to book in for an assessment and to determine suitability for a class. For further information contact the team at Flex Out Physiotherapy on 6023 2831.

Homes&Property Homes Property ❯❯ Albury Wodonga

A touch of country right in the city THE colours of Autumn are on display now and this stunning Federation Park home depicts the scene perfectly. Street appeal is commanding with mature hedging offering privacy and well established deciduous trees adding a pleasant splash of colour, all sitting high on a large corner block. A cathedral roof line on the garage, classic tin roof and front and side verandah all add the country charm of this four-bedroom family home. The scene is inviting from the lead-light entry to the tranquil back yard with tasteful décor and quality window furnishings throughout. Formal lounge and dining offer a peaceful retreat for entertaining while a spacious living area ensures room for the growing family. The large kitchen is well appointed with stainless cooking and dishwasher and pleasant country views from the window above the double sink. Ample bench and cupboard space takes the hard work out of meal preparation and a breakfast bar provides for relaxed morning dining. The four bedrooms all include

built-in robes, two of which are doubles. The master suite is both spacious and stunning with a tasteful ensuite while the main bathroom and separate toilet more than adequately provide for the remainder of the family. From the over-size double garage you gain access to a large study, the spacious laundry and a third toilet for extra convenience. Outside the scene is set for stylish entertaining with an expansive covered, paved alfresco dining area. The A-frame roof adds to the style of the property and a built-in brick barbecue allows for the impromptu family or larger party gathering. Lazy Sundays could easily be wiled away here with a cuppa or a beverage looking over the cosy back yard with its large maples and bordered gardens providing a real haven right on your doorstep. Double-gate access to the rear of the property allows for the family boat or trailer to be parked off-street while ducted heating and cooling complete this picture-perfect package.

PRIDE… Australia’s blind cricket team head coach Neil Mackay says a lot of pride will be on the line when his team tackles England for the coveted Ashes trophy.

THE Aussies will again be taking on the Poms to claim the Ashes when our national team heads to England at the end of the month. And the players taking the field will all have less than 10 per cent vision. Currently ranked fourth in the world our national blind cricket team, coached by Border cricketer Neil Mackay will be hoping to bring the coveted trophy back to our shores and hold bragging rights over England when they face off again later in the year at the World Cup. The team will compete in three one-day international matches to decide the ashes and a further four Twenty20 games. Mackay, himself vision impaired, is looking forward to the opportunity to take on the English and said there was a lot at stake with his boys wearing their Baggy Greens with pride. Mackay has been coaching the team since 2010 and said one of the highlights for him so far was his first series as coach. “My first series with this side was against New Zealand and to be able to beat the Kiwis bowling underarm legitimately was a great thrill,” he joked. Mackay said the underarm style of bowling was one of a few differences to sighted cricket.

The boundaries are shorter but the ball, which contains a rattle, is much lighter and therefore doesn’t travel as far when hit. The only other major difference to sighted cricket is the totally blind players receive double run scores. He said in a 40-over oneday match the team would be aiming to score upwards of 350 runs; an impressive total to aim for in anyone’s language. The team will be based at Worcestershire during the Ashes tour, playing games at Malvern College, although Mackay said they were hoping to secure a game at the famed Edgbaston ground. “Everywhere we go we try to get a game on an international ground,” he said. “We played Pakistan in Adelaide last year with the last game on the Adelaide oval. The year before the boys went to the West Indies and played at Kingston in Barbados. They do get a great experience.” Mackay suffers from Retinitis Pigmentosa which affects his peripheral vision, something he said caused nightmares in the field during his latter years as a player. He felt his own situation probably helped to relate to the players in his team and while he’s been involved only for a short time he said he was enjoying the appointment so far.

EXPERIENCE… Andrew Monte is looking to bring his wealth of experience to the Spitfires team and push for the premiership this season. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

ALBURY Wodonga Spitfires state league hockey team are off to a good start to the season with an undefeated record so far and just one draw. They face Brunswick this weekend on home soil and will be looking to send a message to the league that this is their fortress and they won’t be giving it up easily. At least that’s according to new assistant coach Andrew Monte. Monte returned to the Border late last year and brings a wealth of knowledge to the team after stints in the European league with English club Beeston and coaching a university and a women’s team along the way. He said this experience would assist what he considers to be a very talented team. “I think I can bring the experience I’ve had overseas in terms of what to do in certain situations during pressure games,” Monte said. “Hopefully I’ll be able to teach the

guys a level of calmness during pressure situations. Also my playing experience, being able to bring that into the group and help them on the pitch and lead by example, I think helps as well. “I’ve always thought Albury’s had a lot of talent … any sport would love to have some of the kids we have because they’re just talented. It’s getting them to realise their potential and getting them to perform and do the right things at the right time. I think they are a very good team and they’re certainly going to push for the premiership this year; that’s if they want to. I think we can beat any team on our day.” As for this weekend’s game, Monte was confident his team could turn it on for the home crowd and show the visitors what it means to play hockey in Albury. “We want to come out with a high work rate and show them this is our fortress and you’ve got to work really hard to beat us up here,” he said. “It would be great to go through undefeated at home.”

Beath passes magic milestone SPITFIRES veteran Ian Beath passed another milestone on the weekend when he lined up for his 250th state league hockey game. Having begun his state league career at the tender age of 15 Beath, now 33, said it had been a long road, but well worth the effort in a demanding competition. “I’m pretty happy to still be playing now,” he said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. You push yourself to play with new players and new coaches and it’s just really enjoyable.” Beath said he approached the weekend’s game as he would any other and was simply pleased for the team to take a solid victory. “I’ve played enough milestones now that it didn’t really matter to me as far as how I played, as long as the team won and

to get 11-0 was pretty good,” he said. “The guys did a good job for me … I was pretty happy at the end of the day.” But the years of travelling and playing at the elite level may well be coming to an end and Beath is contemplating retirement and hopes to bow out on a high. “I’ll see how the body holds up at the end of the year but I’ve got more family commitments now,” he pondered. “If I do decide to retire it will be a tough decision because of the camaraderie in the team. We have a bus trip nearly every second week and you make really good mates. “With the team we’ve got and how we’ve been playing I’d like to firstly make the top four and then make the grand final.”

MILESTONE… Ian Beath reached yet another milestone on the weekend when he lined up for this 250th state league hockey game for the Spitfires. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

PTY LTD

AS IS quite often always the case, current trends in the AFL eventually infiltrate into the Ovens and Murray. We have seen that in recent years with things like the press, rotating benches and a lack of big numbers on the goal-scoring tables. The last man to in fact kick 100 goals or more in an Ovens & Murray season was Lavington’s Chris Stuhldreier some 14 years ago. For the spectator this has been a bit of an issue. The Ovens and Murray’s district cousins, the Hume and Tallangatta leagues, have produced regular centurion goal kickers and in fact three players achieved this feat alone last year in the Tallangatta League. There is nothing more exciting that watching a single player grab the game by the scruff of the neck and dominate on the scoreboard. Trend reversed The good news is that the Ovens & Murray key forwards have already reversed this trend and spectators are now guessing how many will kick the tonne rather than who. With just five games gone and still 13 remaining two players are already a quarter of the way there. In the following column I will look at the big forwards and make a prediction of how many goals they may end up with come round 18. Brendan Fevola (27 goals) Without doubt the big Fev has been huge for our game and his impressive tally after just four goals could have been even higher with some inaccuracy from the trade-mark sharp shooter. Brendan’s physical strength combined with an open forward line and an A-grade midfield hitting him up makes him near impossible to curtail. Once Fev is eliminated from his TV dance escapade Yarrawonga should have his services on a regular basis With this in mind and outings still to come against Myrtleford, Wodonga, Nth Albury and the Raiders, I am predicting the big Pigeon will reach the hundred. Prediction 104 goals. Patrick Rose (25 goals) Stellar pre-season form has seen Rose heavily manned each week. At times he has threatened to blow the opposition apart but has been unable to maintain it for the duration of an entire game. That was until last weekend with an impressive bag of nine against the Hoppers and for Raider fans I reckon there is plenty more to come. Rose is very powerful for his size and reads the game like few others. His toughest challenge is that his team has few other forward-line options which sees him at times being stood by two defenders. Consistent outings of 5-6 and the odd big bag should see

him notch up a century. Prediction 108 goals. Andy Carey (21 goals) The big Tiger has kicked 17 goals in his past two games and given off countless others. He is perhaps the most intimidating forward in the league and like Fev is also the beneficiary of a polished on ball brigade. Hard to think Carey’s football had almost passed him due to regular injury issues. The club’s management of Andy could determine exactly how close he gets to three figures. With another Premiership clearly more important than individual achievements, I think Carey will possibly play only 10 of the remaining home and away matches. Prediction 85 goals. Dan Leslie (18 goals) The high-marking Hopper has kicked exactly one-third of his team’s score this season thus far. Teams put a lot of focus in Leslie and it has meant much of his work is done up the field. His return this year has been outstanding with all things considered. Hard to see him kick regular bags without a dramatic improvement in the Hopper’s win-loss ratio. Still one of the most exciting players to watch. Prediction 58 goals.

795 Centaur Road Lavington Phone 0260 251555

James Wong (17 goals) This champion tennis player is also an ace on the footy field. Wong has slipped into the league fairly innocuously but he is certainly making opposition take notice now. Wong is also one of few forward options for his side but his lower body strength and safe pair of hands have enabled him to have plenty of goal-scoring opportunities. Wangaratta have played a majority of the top sides already so James may have a few big bags up his sleeve. Prediction 71 goals. Add former Sydney and Bulldogs forward Barry Hall to the list and I’m sure even the toughest critic would agree that this year in the O&M we are blessed with bonified goalkicking superstars.
