Albury Wodonga’s largest circulating newspaper
Super Rugby Albury’s first Super Rugby game attracted a crowd of nearly 4000 on Saturday evening in a game that saw the clash of the Melbourne Rebels and NSW Warratahs. FOR DETAILS TURN TO PAGE 31
Taken too young By KRYSTEN MANUEL
Wodonga Police Inspector Tony Davis is calling for more information on Friday’s double fatality crash.
“IT WAS a perfectly normal day. It was sunny, the road has a good surface and it’s a major thoroughfare for the area,” Wodonga Police Inspector Tony Davis said. Devastatingly, this perfectly normal day brought with it a major tragedy. Two young girls were killed in a singlecar collision and their 40-year-old father now remains in a serious condition at The Alfred hospital, Melbourne. The girls’ father is a former Wodonga policeman who was medically discharged from the force in 2008 due to epilepsy. The accident occurred at about 3.50pm last Friday when the Holden Commodore travelling towards Wodonga on Baranduda Boulevard left the roadway, striking a tree and flipping onto its roof. The two girls, aged seven and 11, died at the scene. Victoria Police Major Collision Unit detectives from Melbourne arrived in Leneva at about 7.30pm on Friday, resulting in the road being closed for most of the night as they conducted their investigations. But police say they need more information from the public in addition to the two civilian drivers who stopped and assisted at the time of the collision. “What we’re seeking is assistance from the public – any person who may have witnessed a silver/ beige Commodore travelling along the road at that time, to help us piece together the movements of that vehicle,” Insp Davis said. Insp Davis said he was hopeful for more information. “At that time of the day, there are a couple of schools there and vehicles travelling down the road quite frequently.” Anyone with any information should phone Wodonga police on (02) 6049 2600 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Simply the best choice of LAND. Both sides of the border.

Population proves a worry By KRYSTEN MANUEL
Professor Black said respondents were actively involved in conservation behaviours around their homes like recycling, observing and providing water for birds in their gardens, saving electricity, and composting, and they considered these important. “They had rainwater tanks, solar panels, Australian native plants in their garden, home insulation, and energy efficient light bulbs. However, using transport other than cars was not considered important - they weren’t committed to changing their car behaviours,” she said. Professor Black and Dr Shelby Gull Laird completed the Understanding Thurgoona/ Wirlinga Community Knowledge and Values of Biodiversity project on behalf of the Albury Conservation Company to assess local community knowledge and understanding of conservation and biodiversity. The project included a survey of 300 respondents as well as ten in-depth interviews to further delve into issues raised by the survey. The survey shows respondents were connected to nature, with 60 per cent feeling it was very important or important to have places set aside for native plants and animals. Respondents said they liked living
POPULATION growth and its associated issues of sustainability and conservation is a concern for residents on the fringe of Albury. Charles Sturt University (CSU) researchers found residents in the Thurgoona and Wirlinga areas north east of Albury were also concerned about projected population growth for the area. Findings demonstrated that while residents know about local sustainability and conservation issues, they are unsure how to take their concerns about future development beyond their homes. “In its Thurgoona/Wirlinga Structure Plan, Albury City Council proposes that the population of the area will grow to 50,000 over the next 50 years, a very significant increase,” CSU social researcher Associate Professor Rosemary Black said. “The area will transition from a rural to a more urban environment. However, we found that most survey respondents had moved to the area because they were attracted to its ‘rural country feel.’ “Increasing development will also affect local native plants and animals and their habitat, particularly local threatened species such the squirrel glider and regent honeyeater.”
close to nature, found it peaceful and relaxing, and liked seeing and hearing birds. “Features such as tree hollows, patches of native vegetation, and creeks and tree ‘corridors’ were thought important, but fewer people considered roadside bush which is concerning as these strips have been shown to be vital for moving native species across cleared agricultural landscapes,” Dr Laird said. “Residents also said it was important to set aside land for native plants and animals for future generations and to balance nature and development, and were concerned about the projected increase in the area’s population. “Therefore, we need to promote community organisations that involve conservation and volunteer opportunities so people can channel their concerns and interests to a broader community level.” As part of the project, the researchers recommended a number of activities to address the results, including school-based education programs, developing guidelines for local residents on how to attract and support biodiversity in their own gardens, supplying nest boxes, and getting people involved in voluntary conservation activities.

Expressions of interest in leasing the PS Cumberoona are now open.
Paddling tourism “We want a suitably qualified operator for the vessel who has experience in the tourism industry. We’ll accept expressions from all over Australia. “We’ll particularly target Mildura and Echuca to attract similar operators who may be interested in expanding their operations to Albury.” It’s anticipated that the suitable operator will be identified by April 2014. Once appointed they will be required to conduct final maintenance on the vessel and update its operational manual to obtain a certificate of survey from Roads and Maritime Services which will be the final approval required to enable the vessel to operate commercially. “There is still a stringent process to go through but we
ALBURYCITY has started an expression of interest process for the PS Cumberoona, seeking parties interested in operating the vessel as a tourism venture on the river. Council began advertising on Saturday and is seeking expressions from individuals, businesses, organisations or community groups. The successful party will be offered a three-year lease with an option to extend by two years. “There is potential for the Cumberoona to once again become a great tourist asset for our city,” AlburyCity mayor Cr Kevin Mack said. “A lot of work has gone into upgrading the paddlesteamer and we are keen to start the next step in the process that will pave the way for the boat to get back onto the water.

are hopeful that everything can be finalised in time for the Cumberoona to be back on the water by the next operating season,” Cr Mack said. The Cumberoona was drydocked in 2006 due to low water levels. Some 90 per cent of its hull has been replaced and works carried out to help prevent future corrosion. Council has continued maintenance work on the vessel in dry dock, including repairing timber floorboards and stairs, sealing leaks and holes. The Expression of Interest will be a two-stage process.

Transforming their lives By KRYSTEN MANUEL AN ABORIGINAL Youth Traineeship project spanning the last two and a half years has resulted in 18 full-time jobs for participants locally. Last week bike racks featuring a unique Aboriginal design, one of the more creative projects participants undertook, were installed at Wodonga’s Gateway Village. “That’s what it’s all about – to showcase what they can do,” chief executive officer of the Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation Matt Burke said. “It’s about telling people out there ‘Look, we do exist. Give us a chance to do something as good as this’.” Some 16 Aboriginal youth were behind the design and manufacture of the bike racks. The project provides job readiness skills and a certificate two in engineering, spending two days a week at the “shed” where they learnt to measure, cut and weld followed by two days at a company where on the job training was facilitated. “About two and a half years ago we signed up a contract with Workways and Wilson Transformers to get a traineeship that has a difference,” Mr Burke said. “The difference with this one is that the end result is they get a job. They stay with us, we skill them up and then go out and actively find them a job. “My philosophy is you can get a piece of paper from any TAFE, but I wanted an outcome that’s job related. You can smile at the end of a course, take a photo and be put out into the bad world of unemployment. “But they (students) love it. For me, the emotional part came when
The colourful bike racks made by indigenous trainees are located at Gateway Village. one young man stood before a television camera. To see any young person saying ’If it wasn’t for this I wouldn’t be able to buy a house,’ I was quite emotional. As tough and old as I am, I went ‘Wow, that’s an outcome I never forecast’.” Wilson Transformers training and assessor Rodney Anderson has been training the participants and said the experience had been mutually beneficial. “They’re very mechanically minded – they can make something out of noth-
ing,” he said. “They’ve been brought up to come and go as they please, but now at 9am they’re here and 3pm they finish, they have a structured lifestyle. “It’s very rewarding. The boys appreciate what you’re doing for them. I’m learning stuff off them as much as they’re learning off me – their life skills are a lot better than what ours are. We just go to work and come home, but every day they live just to live.” Mentor Ollie (Uncle Ollie) Patten said the success of the project had already encouraged other young indig-
enous men to put their hand up for the project. “It’s a plus for us and the community,” he said. “Since that’s happened we’ve had guys knocking on the door, young fellas that have seen the other young blokes buying things and they want to jump on the wagon. “When we first started off, these people really had nothing. Wilson’s put out a hand, we grabbed it. “These guys here, they never had anything in their life, there wasn’t
Rural childcare focus for review By KRYSTEN MANUEL ISSUES affecting rural, regional and remote parents will be carefully considered as part of a holistic view to reforming childcare, Assistant Minister for Education Sussan Ley said. Time-poor parents from both cities and the country can also have their say on the nation’s first major review of childcare since the 1990s, without having to make a full-length submission. Ms Ley said the Productivity Commission inquiry into childcare and early childhood learning had incorporated the option for people to leave a brief comment via a simple online form on their website.
It is the first time such an inquiry had offered this type of opportunity, she said. Ms Ley said it was a timely reminder for the 729,780 families who used childcare in Australia, given submissions closed on Monday. “The work lives of Australian families are no longer strictly nine-to-five and have never been busier,” Ms Ley said. “I’ve been a working mum with young children myself and it’s hard enough to get five minutes to yourself, let alone sit down and lodge a full submission. “However, this ever-growing pressure on our family lives is exactly why we want to hear from parents to ensure
Australians have access to childcare that’s both affordable and flexible. “It’s fantastic the Productivity Commission is pulling out all the stops to make it easier for busy parents to take part in this once-in-a-generation inquiry.” Ms Ley said the online form could be accessed from any device with internet access, meaning it was perfect for people “on the run”. “This is a quick and easy way to ensure you have your say that you can easily do on your morning coffee break or on the bus or train to work,” she said. “It’s also a perfect way for educators, operators and parents and grandparents who’ve
much future there. Now some of them have bought houses, they’ve changed their way of life.” Uncle Ollie’s son, Martin, said the most rewarding thing to come out of the project was self-satisfaction. “I like making my own projects, seeing the finished product and what I’ve done – I’m really proud of it,” he said. “I made my Mum a chair with a table in the middle for Mother’s Day – I just make gifts for family.”

used childcare in the past to share their views and experiences.” Ms Ley said the Coalition had tasked the Productivity Commission with taking a holistic view to reform, including looking at issues facing mothers returning to the workforce, rural, regional and remote communities, shift workers and disadvantaged and vulnerable children. She said the Productivity Commission had also released a short discussion paper posing key questions to help guide responses.

The power of $50 By KRYSTEN MANUEL “FIFTY dollars can go quite a long way,” Border Trust’s executive officer Glenys Atkins said. This couldn’t ring truer for some disadvantaged local families who will be receiving vouchers adding up to $45,000 over coming weeks. Border Trust announced last week that registrations are now open for schools within the region to participate in the 2014 Sidney Myer Fund / Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) Back to School Program. An additional $10,000 grant from the QBE Foundation towards the 2014 allocation has resulted in a total of 900 $50 vouchers being available for distribution to schools across the Local Government Areas of Albury, Alpine, Corowa, Greater Hume, Indigo, Towong, Tumbarumba and Wodonga. “We all know that the costs of a new school year can be quite steep, and that it can be a stressful time of year for many families,” Border Trust’s executive officer Glenys Atkins said.
Always hand injured wildlife over to authorities or licensed wildlife centres.
Caring for wildlife A $50 cheque can take the edge off back to school stress. “A $50 voucher can make a big difference towards the purchase of essential school items and we’re pleased that we can contribute in this way. “We’ve been receiving feedback as schools are registering this year, they’re telling us some of the impact from last year. We’re hearing things like kids having to go to school without shoes or proper uniforms it’s for assisting people who most need it.”

THE Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) is reminding people who find injured wildlife to contact an authorised wildlife carer. DEPI senior compliance officer Brady Childs said officers recently collected a joey from an unauthorised person near Bendigo. It was assessed then handed over to a licensed wildlife shelter. “Inappropriate care by members of the public, who think they are doing the right thing, can significantly decrease an animal’s chance of recovery,” Mr Childs said. “In some cases, even if the animal recovers from the initial injury or illness, it may have developed behaviours that mean it cannot be released back into the wild. “Wildlife has specialised handling, dietary and housing requirements and cannot be treated in the same way as domestic pets or livestock. “To give injured wildlife the best chance of survival and release back into the wild, it is vital they receive the right treatment and handling and they are kept in an appropriate environment. “There are volunteer wildlife shelter operators and carers that have been registered and licensed by DEPI across the Loddon Mallee region. “These people have completed training courses and have proven experience in the care and rehabilitation of native wildlife. Under the Wildlife Act (1975) the unlawful possession of protected wildlife can result in a maximum fine of $7218 and/or six months’ imprisonment. If you find a sick or injured native animal please call DEPI on 136 186 or RACV Wildlife Connect on 13 11 11.

Time for the jab By KRYSTEN MANUEL BORDER children are back at school as of last week and reminders to parents to immunise their children couldn’t be more topical. The Labor Opposition in Victoria has promised to bring in a ‘no jab, no play’ policy if it wins the state election in November, requiring parents to provide proof of their child’s immunisation before being accepted into childcare, with objectors only eligible for exemptions if they consult a medical professional. A similar law was introduced into New South Wales last year and came into force last month. Labor’s position comes as the government teases out whether to strip parents of family benefit payments or childcare rebates if they refuse to vaccinate their children. While the battle rages, it has been revealed the Hume Medicare Local (HML) area – which stretches north to Jerilderie, east to Corryong, south to Mansfield, and west to Tocumwal - has one of the highest rates of childhood immunisation. But HML Chair and Beechworth GP Dr Wendy Connor says there’s always room for improvement. “Of course, we’d love to see 100 per cent of children immunised - or at least as close to that figure as possible,” she said. In a 2012 report by the National Health Performance Authority, the HML area placed second in Australia for immunisation rates with 94 per cent of one-year-olds up to date, 95 per cent of three-year-olds and 93

However, Dr Connor says it is timely to make sure children have had all the necessary jabs, particularly after a number of measles cases were recorded throughout Australia this summer. “With families often travelling to different states and countries over the Christmas break, it’s very important our children go back to school fully protected,” Dr Connor said. If Labor wins the state election, it promises to restore funding for whooping cough vaccines, with a full immunisation policy planned for release closer to the election. The current National Immunisation Program protects children against measles, diphtheria, pertussis or whooping cough, polio, Hepatitis B, Hib, Menigococcal C and invasive pneumococcal disease. Dr Connor said parents could have their children immunised by making an appoint-
ment with their family GP or through their local council’s immunisation services. “Protecting your children now will in most cases protect them for life - and others around them,” Dr Connor said. Around Australia, the number of conscientious objectors has risen sixfold in two decades, to 36,320. Parents can find out about their child’s vaccination history from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register. By accessing this site and logging onto MyGov and Medicare Online Services, parents can request a history statement for download or to be sent in the mail. Alternatively they can visit the local Department of Human Services centre or call 1800 653 809. NSW parents who are enrolling their children in childcare centres will now need to show their child’s history statement at the time of enrolment.

Hot cars in the heat By KRYSTEN MANUEL, Pictures: ADAM WILSON DESPITE a sweltering 41 degrees on Sunday, the RSCA’s 25th Picnic in the Park was another success, thanks to overwhelming support from local car enthusiasts. The Riverina Sports Car Association Inc (RSCA) put the word out to other local car clubs, resulting in a response well above expectations. “The weather was a little bit hot which was disappointing, but you can’t dial up the weather unfortunately,” RSCA president Howard Anderson said. “We were a little worried we might not get the numbers but we had 120 cars - I think the best we’ve ever had before was 80. “We think there was probably 70 or 80 cars from our membership and the other 40 or 50 were from other car clubs we had invited along. We even had one car from Wagga and one car from Shepparton, so some people had come quite a distance. “We had quite a range of classic motor vehicles the owners have lovingly restored and painted. We had everything from your family Falcon of the 1980s that now had multiple layers of paint and air-brushing, to quite a few Porsches and MGs and Triumphs.” The Volunteer Rescue Association provided a barbecue and drinks in an effort to raise funds for their essential community work, while the RSCA had the books open for new memberships and they weren’t disappointed.
“Our secretary told me we had 20 applications, so that was pretty good,” Mr Anderson said. “We’re pretty chuffed it was such a great day despite the unbearable heat.”

Foot & Leg Facts with Dr Marni Gray, Sports Podiatrist
Are your feet fit for the year ahead? FEET are one of the body’s most complex and relied upon structures, yet they’re often the most neglected. We take, on average, around 7000 steps everyday. Add to that the amount of time we spend standing, playing sport and engaging in recreational activities and you start to realise just how important our feet really are. With the holidays behind us it’s a good time to ensure your feet and legs are in good shape to tackle all our activities for the year ahead. Following, are some tips to help you keep painfree and active in 2014. Always get foot and leg pain or soreness checked by an experienced sports podiatrist. Simple soreness can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues, but there is often a simple solution. Evaluate your footwear. Choose shoes that are comfortable, have decent cushioning and support, especially if you’re going to be on your feet a lot. Wear activity/sport appropriate shoes. Ensure kids change out of school shoes and into appropriate shoes for after-school sport/recreational activities.
On average, we take around 7,000 steps a day! Don’t rely on technological advances in footwear to treat pain and discomfort or decrease risk of injury. Proper advice and treatment from a sports podiatrist is the best way to prevent and treat problems. Women should opt for lower heels whenever possible. If you have to wear high heels try a wedge heel for more support/ stability, also look for shoe straps with a bit of substance for extra support. Don’t buy shoes that require a “break-in period”. Shoes should be comfortable immediately.
Shop for footwear at the end of the day to accommodate for normal swelling. Feet can swell by up to 10 per cent during the course of a day. Be careful of off-the-shelf foot products including orthotics, innersoles and arch supports. Only proper devices prescribed by an experienced sports podiatrist should be used to ensure they are correct, effective and safe. If you’ve been advised you need surgery or medications get a second opinion. There is now significant proof that antiinflammatory medications and cortisone injections can delay healing and/or cause further damage. Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments better, safer, more natural alternatives are available to assist most pain and injury. If you have foot and leg pain, injuries or concerns you can see me at Foot + Leg Pain Clinics in Albury, Wangaratta or Wagga or you can attend any of our other clinic locations. Call 1300 328 300. We’re still offering $50 off initial consultations to readers, just mention the offer at your consultation.

Heatwave hits animals hard IT’S not just people being hit hard by recent heatwaves - native animals have also been struggling, with local wildlife carers calling on the community to help keep them cool. The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) has thanked the 125 or more volunteers who operate out of 55 shelters in the Hume Region. DEPI’s program manager Compliance (Hume Region), Geoff McClure, said the volunteers did a terrific job, especially in these hot conditions. “At present, we are seeing a lot of marsupials struggling with the heat especially koalas, gliders and possums,” he said. “Anything with a pouch tends to throw their young to survive. “We also monitor bats if a string of hot days is forecast, in particular, grey-headed flying foxes which are listed as a threatened species. “There is a double colony of red and grey-headed flying foxes at Nathalia and a larger colony at Numurkah that our officers and volunteers have been keeping a close eye on. “As native animals, the flying foxes have evolved to deal with very high temperatures, but only for short periods of time. The younger flying foxes are particularly vulnerable to heat stress as they are unable to fly down to the river to drink alone and may just drop from their trees with dehydration and exhaustion.” Wildlife Rescue licensed shelter operator Loretta Saunders in Yarrawonga said she had had a busy start to the New Year. “I’ve been caring for baby gliders, possums and koalas, as well as lots and lots of birds,” she said. “When the temperature reached 47 degrees in mid-January, they were literally dropping dead out of the trees. “We’ve had micro-bats finding shelter in the main street that just want somewhere cool to hang out and have a drink. “I’m currently caring for an old female koala that a witness spotted falling from the tree. She has a bruised spine and is receiving lots of tender loving care including anti-inflammatory medication and physiotherapy.
Local wildlife carers have seen first hand the harsh effects of recent heat-waves. “People can help out by turning their sprinkler on to cool the ground and leaving out large bowls of water for wildlife. We know the effect extreme heat can have on humans and it is no different for our wildlife.” Husband and wife team at Dutch Thunder Wildlife Care and Rescue in Koonoomoo (near Cobram), James Leonard and Kylee Donkers, have been inundated with dehydrated koalas. “In the initial heatwave in mid-January, I received a total of 50 calls in a 24-hour period and attended to 28 rescues,” Ms Donkers said.
“I was tending to 11 koalas including an orphaned young that is still in care. “We lost one koala, but we have been able to nurse the others back to health with oral fluids or a drip. “The first two days of extreme heat are okay, but on the third day the phone goes crazy. We are expecting a busy weekend with 40-plus degree days forecast.” Members of the public should report stressed or injured wildlife to DEPI on 136 186 or Wildlife Victoria on 1300 094 535.

Help to identify rural black spots NSW Farmers has launched a telecommunications survey to gather information from farmers to help represent their views to government on current issues including the National Broadband Network and mobile black spots. The Federal Government is currently reviewing the NBN and has made a commitment of $100 million to fix mobile black spots across the country. “The survey provides an important snapshot of the telecommunication is-
sues facing farming communities across NSW,” NSW Farmers telecommunications spokesperson Anthony Gibson said. “The information gathered will help us to represent farmers on improving access and pricing of mobile and internet services in rural and regional areas.” A similar survey conducted by the association in 2011 found that close to 80 per cent of respondents had no or very little on-farm mobile coverage with 50
per cent of respondents unhappy or very unhappy with their mobile coverage. Mr Gibson said it would be interesting to see if, in the space of three years, there had been any improvement in telecommunication coverage or satisfaction. To complete the survey, visit the NSW Farmers Association’s website www.nswfarmers.org.au and click on the telecoms button under the survey tab. The survey is open to all farmers across NSW.

How to help your cool cows chill out
AS SUMMER turns up the heat, producers are being urged to manage their cattle for heat stress, which can become a major issue both for production levels and animal welfare. Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) Senior Veterinary Officer Mike Jeffers said the ideal temperature range for cattle was between five and 25 degrees, so as the temperature rose, it became more difficult for cattle to cool themselves. “At temperatures above 27 degrees, cattle have to divert energy away from production to cool themselves,” Dr Jeffers said. “This is done via heat loss through their surface skin and respiratory tract. Feed intake is also reduced and as the temperature rises above 32 degrees a decrease in milk production may be observed.” Heat-stressed cattle may show some of the following signs: Seeking out shade which they often will not leave to drink or eat, increased water intake, reduced feed intake, standing rather than

lying down, increased respiratory rate, increased body temperature, increased salivation, reduced milk production and reduced conception rates. Dr Jeffers said in recent years cattle deaths had been observed due to heat stroke on very hot days. “While it is not possible to eliminate the effect of heat stress, there are a number of management factors, which can reduce the effects of heat stress.” These include: Placing cattle in paddocks where they have access to adequate shade, ensuring cattle have adequate access to good quality, cool drinking water, allowing cattle to take their time when moving, avoiding overcrowding in yards, providing cattle with better quality feed during the evening (when it’s cooler, and cattle are likely to have better intakes).

Letters Moral king hitters THE arguments of Albury’s ‘moral king hitters’ pale into doubtful significance when exposed in black and white. Sir, the letters of Anna von Marburg and Doreen Spalding are like reading an X-ray of their difficulties in swallowing other points of view and perhaps reveal the logical blockage that prevents them passing onto more tolerant perspectives . Mrs von Marburgs “helpers” have continually employed tactics more akin to storm troopers than any activity contemplated by the sainted and enlightened Pope Francis (or the differently sainted Dr Pieter Mourik for that matter ). The brutal attempts employing financial pressure and even the blunt Instrument of litigation to “king hit, or coward punch” discussion on the subject of medical termination and choice seem totally unworthy of the Christian tradition as some of us have been fortunate to experience it at the feet of other living saints such as Arch-
bishop Desmond Tutu following the steps of the Prince of peace, Doreen Spalding‘s confident suggestion that human behaviour should follow the example of Kookaburras and Cats is curious indeed when considering the natural authority for celibacy. (I have yet to hear of a celibate koala but perhaps I should pay more attention ) and the forgiveness of cats is similarly undocumented, as is the kookaburras championing of the disabled. I have however witnessed the way that big animals push small animals away at feeding time and use their size and power to get their own way. The Venerable Peter MacLeod-Miller, Archdeacon of the Hume, St Matthew’s Anglican Church, Albury.
Prove a human isn’t dying EVERYBODY talks about what goes on outside that abortion house. Nobody mentions what goes on inside.
You can talk about the police, the council, the law, bubble zones, where we stand, where we don’t stand, the pamphlets, the baby models, choice, surrounding businesses, religion, harassment, statistics ... anything to distract people from what is going on inside that house. But until you can prove to me that no human life is being violently ended in their mother’s womb during an abortion in that house, I will continue to accompany those dying humans with prayer as Christians do. I will continue to offer women an alternative with ongoing help (YES, we do give them “ongoing” help). I will continue to pray for the abortionist, the clinic workers and all those involved in abortion to change their hearts. And I will continue to be there for the mothers as they enter and pray for the post-abortive mothers as they leave that place of death. Regina Dawson (a Helper of God’s Precious Infants), Albury.

Over 55s ..... Life starts Now! Fix these paths to fitness VICTORIA’S inadequate footpaths, dogs not leashed or under control, poor street lighting and irresponsible drivers are preventing thousands of seniors from getting vital exercise vital, a new Victoria Walks report has found. Commissioner for Senior Victorians Gerard Mansour has launched Senior Victorians and Walking: Obstacles and Opportunities at VicHealth. The research, which includes a survey of 1128 seniors from across Victoria, focus groups and an international literature review, was conducted by Dr Jan Garrard for Victoria Walks and the Council on the ageing. The report highlights that 58 per cent of senior Victorians do not get the recommended level of physical activity. The survey revealed the key barriers to seniors walking, the following issues were moderate or major constraints: Dogs that were off leash or not under control (50 per cent of respondents). Poorly maintained footpaths (47 per cent). Poorly lit footpaths (42 per cent). Drivers failing to give way when required (39 per cent). Cyclists on shared walking and cycling paths (39 per cent).
·
· · · ·
A new Victoria Walks Report has found seniors aren’t walking nearly as much as they need to. “Traffic-related and fall injuries among older pedestrians impact on their walking, yet we expect them to just fit in,” Victoria Walks executive officer Ben Rossiter said. “We need to stop telling seniors to take extra care while walking and create road environments that take care of them.” Results show that walking is
extremely important for older adults. Walking is their most common form of physical activity, comprising 77 per cent of total physical activity for those aged 75 years or over. Mr Mansour said the Victoria Walks report will make an important contribution to the development of a whole-of-government action plan, commissioned
by the Victorian Government for supporting better participation among senior Victorians. “Walking is vital for the health and fitness of seniors as they age, as well as being a crucial means of transport to ensure seniors can continue to participate in their community,” Mr Mansour said. “Improving walkability and transport options is a key focus for the new ministerial advisory committee for Senior Victorians. The committee is busy working on a new action plan that will detail strategies to promote an age-friendly society, enhance community participation of older people and co-ordinate plans across government.” The research found that walking for transport becomes more important as seniors get older. The proportion of walking trips for shopping or personal business increases from 53 per cent of trips by 60-69 year olds to 81 per cent of trips by those over 80. Even those aged 80 years and over are willing and able to walk up to about one kilometre to get to places like shops and services. “Victoria’s relatively low rate of transport-related walking among seniors is the result of poor walkability rather than seniors’ ill health or functional decline,” Dr Rossiter said.
Little relief for working poor NEW figures out show that the vast majority of older workers with chronic health conditions are on low incomes and cannot afford to retire. The second study for National Seniors Productive Ageing Centre (NSPAC), headed by Professor Deborah Schofield of the University of Sydney, shows 80 per cent of those aged between 65 and 74 with ongoing health problems are earning $500 a week or less. Only two per cent earn more than $1500 per week. This is in sharp contrast to the 54 per cent in the same age group but without chronic health problems who earn $500 a week or less and the 12 per cent who earn $1500 a week or more. National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said the new report Working Beyond 65 - What’s Realistic? Backs up existing evidence that it’s in the interests of both governments and individuals to have older people working longer - if they are willing and
able to do so. “Staying in the workforce past age 65 lightens the load on taxpayers,” Mr O’Neill said. “It also helps older people enjoy a higher standard of living in retirement and gives them the social interaction of the workplace which has its own mental health benefits. “If they have chronic health conditions but can manage to keep working, they will be better able to afford the medical care and equipment they need. “Unfortunately, many older people in poor health but still working believe they will never be able to afford to retire.” Mr O’Neill said Flexible working hours or workstation modification may help an arthritis sufferer stay at work beyond the traditional retirement age of 65. “But further preventative measures for a range of health problems are perhaps the best solution to keeping older people at work so they can better fund their own retirements,” he said.

Over 55s ..... Life starts Now! Keen to make the move
Friends help seniors keep their cool WITH temperatures peaking in many parts of Australia, consumer lobby group for the over-50s National Seniors Australia today called for the public to help older people who may not be coping well. “The heat is stretching the resources of ambulance services,” National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said. “Unfortunately, many seniors may be unable find any relief. “But younger people can help out their elderly relatives, friends and neighbours by checking to see if they are drinking enough water or if their homes are well ventilated.
“If someone has mobility issues, taking them to an air-conditioned shopping centre or cinema for a few hours may bring much welcomed relief. “People who are aged over 70 are particularly vulnerable to heat stress which could cause them to become dehydrated, fall ill or worse.” Preventative measures against heat stress include drinking water regularly, avoiding alcohol, coffee and sugary drinks, keeping cool by increasing air circulation in the home, wearing light clothing and, if going outside, staying in the shade and keeping physical activity to a minimum.

“Having enough savings for retirement is a much greater issue for women than for men as they tend to earn less during their lifetime, and therefore have lower super savings, and they live longer, on average, than men.
1080386-JJ27-13
A SURVEY has revealed just 18 per cent of women believe they will have enough retirement savings for a comfortable retirement. The survey commissioned by AustralianSuper shows that 86 per cent of Australian women believed that they are more likely to retire with less super than men. AustralianSuper’s general manager for growth Rose Kerlin said that the results reflected women’s own understanding of the issue and its causes as well as their suggestions for addressing the situation. Women cite the demands of caring for family, less than full-time work and earning less than men for the same work as the main reasons they are more likely to retire with less super than men (the super gender gap). “Women are well aware of the situation they are facing and over 70 per cent are quite concerned or very concerned that they are retiring with a little more than half the retirement savings of men,” Ms Kerlin said.

Don’t miss Sweet valley Sounds this weekend.
IT’S a celebration of valley life - the sweet life, that is. Nestled in the beautiful Mt Beauty and overlooking the stunning Kiewa Valley, Sweet Valley Sounds is a one-day festival sure to tempt the eyes, ears, nose and tastebuds of all who attend. The idea was born of a passionate group of locals who met and discussed the lack of family-friendly summer music events in the Kiewa Valley. “We started from scratch three years go,” organiser Matt Gardiner said. “We scrimped, grovelled, begged, borrowed everything to get the festival going from people in the community, funding from the council and Bendigo Bank, and we managed to get this thing off the ground and it’s staying off the ground!” Their intention was to put on a relaxed, picnic-style music event on the flank of Big Hill. A fun, colourful, vibrant and participative day of family appropriate music overlooking the magnificent Kiewa Valley, set to entertain, bring together and benefit the local community. The day is comprised of several activities to delight the senses, including the ‘Make It, Bake It, Grow It’ market area, fun and games in the kids tent, hearty food, local wines and beers, and
of course - quality live music. Acts this year include Bomba, Bobby Alu, Quarry Mountain Dead Rats, Genevieve Chadwick, Claude Hay, Flap! and a buskers tent. Bomba is known as one of Australia’s grooviest dance/reggae/funk band. Renowned for their energetic live shows and passionate performances, the secret of Bomba’s success has always been their eclectic and righteous party blend of riddims, beats, dubs and funky soul. Bomba blends all these sounds with their impeccable reggae sensibilities and finds them poised to convert new fans not only in Australia, but overseas as well. Bobby Alu is the musical alter ego of Charles Wall, an accomplished songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. His Polynesian heritage and passion for world music lie at the core of his music. An obsession with percussion and drums has led to him becoming one of the most sort after drummers in the country playing with people such as Xavier Rudd. The uniquely named Quarry Mountain Dead Rats are a five-piece band from Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. They play a gritty and exciting blend of banjo-totin’, mandolin pluckin’, guitar twangin’, throat scrapin’ tunes expertly executed.

Though they may have some bluegrass traditionalists scratching their heads, those with ears to hear something new and powerful will gladly welcome the sounds of the Quarry Mountain Dead Rats. Aside from the music, a kids tent is also open from noon-4pm. Activities include pasta necklace-making workshops, jumbo noughts and crosses, wands, tails and crown-making workshops, facepainting (gold coin donation), jewellerymaking workshops, cookie decorating and more. “It grows every year,” Mr Gardiner said. “We print 1000 tickets, we sell 1000 tickets and that’s it. I think that’s the beauty of it - it stays small and it’s not crowded and commercialised. “It’s a ripper day out!” BYO picnics and alcohol are welcome, though local beer and wine will also be available for purchase. Organisers are encouraging people to come cashed up as there will be no ATMs or eftpos facilities available at the event site. Gates close at 7pm; no further tickets will be sold or entry permitted after this time. Sweet Valley Sounds is on from 11.30am-10pm, Saturday, 8 February at Big Hill Mountain Bike Park, Bogong

Too close to the bone 12 Years A Slave. If shockingly realistic violence, themes of abuse and suppression, or the chilling reality that this is just one of thousands of true stories just like it is too much for you, stick to the book. 12 Years A Slave is Soloman Northrup’s (Chiwetel Ejiofor) story. He was born and raised a free man in New York but was kidnapped and made to work on a plantation in New Orleans in the 1800s. Throughout his journey, Soloman was beaten, whipped, hanged, threatened and forced to hide his education and intelligence.
The everyday circumstances surrounding people of the time and place aren’t news to many who know a little about American slave history. But it’s the way McQueen drags the audience through the victim’s journey that will make you feel as though you’re there - sweating beside the slaves in the cotton fields, feeling the fear rise in the back of your throat as Edwin Epps walks slowly towards you ... This truly humbling film will take your breath away.

Teen idol all grown up By KRYSTEN MANUEL
time, it was really great.” With celebrity careers lucky to span five years, Bobby has managed a career that spanned six decades across television, film, stage and of course through music - quite an achievement. So what is the secret to such a successful, respected career? One would suggest it might not involve the stunts Justin and Miley pulled recently. “I guess it’s the era we all came up in, the music that was recorded back then by all of the various artists,” Bobby said. “Our music has really tested time. It’s been around since the early ’50s and now here we are in 2014. The music still relates to all of those fans who were fans back then and still are today. “That music will live forever. I don’t know exactly what the hell is going on today, I can’t understand anything ... at least our music had lyrics and things you could relate to - nothing heavy!” Bobby Rydell is touring Australia with the AllStar Orchestra with The AllStars during February 2014 and will perform on Friday 21 February at the Albury Entertainment Centre. Bookings: 02 6043 5610 or www.alburycity. nsw.gov.au/entertainment
“If I had any talent within me whatsoever, my Dad was the first one to see it when I was seven years old. He used to take me around to clubs here in Philadelphia asking the owner if it was OK if his son got up and sang a few songs. “I can remember my Dad taking me right outside of Atlantic City, I was sitting in the band playing drums and Frankie Avalon was playing trumpet. Neither of us had hit records back then, but that’s what we did.” Thanks to TMZ and a plethora of magazines devoted entirely to celebrity lifestyle, everyone knows what it’s like to be a teen idol these days. But what was it like at what was basically the time of the first teen idols? “It was kinda nice really,” Bobby said. “I remember driving to New York with my first manager, Frankie Day, and my first hit record was a song called Kissing Time. So it was 1969, we were driving to New York, had the radio up and all of a sudden - boom! It comes on the radio. I’m only 17 years old at the time and I go ‘Wow, that sounds great! Listen to that! Isn’t it fantastic!’ “Doing the the Dick Clark Show going East Coast to West Coast, and then of course there were the concerts with all the kids screaming and yelling ... it was absolutely a marvellous
FOR those of us lucky enough to enjoy the easy times of the ’50s and ’60s, the pedal pushers and slow dancing, Bobby Rydell is a name burned into your memory for good. He was the original teen idol. The 17-year-old spunk that had the girls swooning and the boys happily catching them. To give you an even clearer picture of his prominence back then, the makers of Grease even named Rydell High after him to enforce the strong sense of time and place in the play and film. With the Justin Biebers and Miley Cyruses of today’s world, the comparison between teen idols is worlds apart - even to Bobby himself. “I feel kinda sorry for a lot of the young talent today,” he said. “You look at Justin Bieber right now, he’s having a lot of problems and that’s unfortunate. “All of a sudden, you’re 13, 14, 15 years old and going from doing nothing one day to becoming an multi-millionaire the next day. I think that happens much too early in their life and I don’t know how they handle it - going from relatively nothing to overnight sensation. It’s gotta be tough. “People like myself and Bobby Darin, Frankie Avalon - we paid our dues.
The timeless voice of Bobby Rydell is coming to Albury.

Cafe Amore Chalkie champions By KRYSTEN MANUEL IT’S a teacher’s dream, a parent’s reprieve and a child’s place of possibilities. “It’s synonymous with teachers and staff rooms,” ‘Chalk and Chat’ owner, Judy Redman said. “Coffee or tea are the things you look for at recess and lunchtime to keep you going, so I planned the café as an important part of the business as well. The smell of new books and coffee - wonderful!” As you may have gathered, ‘Chalk and Chat’ is not your average coffee shop. While it does offer all the types of coffees - from chai to chinos, milkshakes and delicious gluten-free Beechworth Bakery delicacies, ‘Chalk and Chat’ also offers a wealth of educational resources. “My dream for this place was to be able to support the teaching and learning of children, and to also support teachers and parents as well,” Mrs Redman said. Mrs Redman is a teacher herself, with over 35 years’ experience and expert knowledge of curriculum and teaching resources. “I was an Assistant Principal at Howlong Public School until a car accident sidelined me from that career path. But once a teacher, always a teacher!” she said. “You always find a way to get your finger back in the pie!”
And between curriculum-focused books, teaching resources, Koorong Books and tutoring, Mrs Redman has certainly jumped into business feet first! “There are changes happening in education with the Australian Curriculum, so that’s a focus of some of the books that are in store now - they’re very current,” she said. “We are also building the Children’s Literature section because the Australian Curriculum focuses on authentic literature. “We have the Koorong Book section to support Christian schools and the local Christian community and I’m working together with some speech and occupational therapists to provide resources they recommend for children. We have some specific resources already but I would really like feedback from the community so I can source and provide what they need.” Chalk and Chat’s tutoring options cover both primary and secondary, as well as some specialist areas. “I am primary trained myself. So Reading Recovery, English as a Second Language and Learning Support - all of those things you do in a career of 30plus years - are being used to support children’s learning during tutoring,” Mrs Redman said. “I am getting more tutors involved we are looking at having an ‘English For Living’ class, which is aimed at support-
ing new arrivals, or anyone really, who wants to better read and understand their child’s report and communicate effectively with teachers. “Down the track it would be nice to use our conference facilities in the back room to host some professional learning for schools as well.” In a brand-new, centrally located shop, ‘Chalk and Chat’ is beautifully appointed from top to bottom, with everything from fresh flowers and chalkboard table tops to antique furniture. “It’s a provincial style I suppose,” Mrs Redman said. “The idea was for it to be fresh and open. I don’t want a lot of clutter because I think that can be really distracting.” “I also want it to be very inviting, so one half is set aside for resources and the other is about having a great coffee and relaxing. I always wanted a child-friendly area so parents could relax a little and drink their coffee while their child is happily playing. I have five children myself and now grandchildren so I understand the need to get out and be with friends.” Chalk and Chat is located at 472 David Street Albury and is open Monday - Friday 10am-6pm and Saturday 10am-2pm.

shower, heated towel rack, Caesarstone bench tops and classy chocolate brown colour scheme. The walk-in robe is also located from the ensuite. Easily tucked away with a sliding door, the walk-in robe is an enormous, cavernous space with every inch made useful. The formal lounge, located at the front of the home, features triple sliding doors leading out to the verandah - a chance to drink in the evening sun when the days begin to cool off. The room also has a wood fireplace and ceiling fan. Through to the open-plan living area the first thing to catch your eye will be the kitchen. Following a white, red and frosted glass colour scheme, this room will bring out the inner chef in anyone with its Caesarstone bench-tops, quality stainless-steel Smeg appliances, roll-away and pot drawers. To the right of the kitchen is the airy, light-filled dining room, with a clever sliding door to conceal the laundry. The main bathroom again features an over-

With six sliding doors of storage covering an entire wall, sliding doors to the outdoor entertainment area, open fireplace and built-in study nook, this room is by far the most visited area of the home.

House values hit new high THE median price of a home in regional Victoria reached a record high in the last three months of 2013. Statewide, the December quarter median house price for regional areas was $320,500, an increase of 2.6 per cent on the September quarter price of $312,500. But across the state there were huge variations in price growth with some areas increasing by more than 10 per cent while others fell. Median house prices in the three major centres - Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong - all grew and their prices remain at their peaks. Bendigo was up 1.6 per cent on the September quarter, the highest growth of the three centres. Such growth reflects the strong price increases in Melbourne over this period, with buyers taking advantage of record low interest rates. But across Victoria it was a mixed story with economic conditions and local factors impacting on prices. In Queenscliff, for example, sought after by both retirees and holiday home buyers, the median price was $687,000
- an increase of 13.6 per cent on the previous quarter. Among the other best performing areas were Ararat, where the December quarter median price of $179,750 was up 17.9 per cent on the September quarter, Colac-Otway where the increase was 8.1 per cent, Wellington Shire with 3.5 per cent and Wangaratta, with 7.3 per cent. By contrast the overall median house price for East Gippsland fell by 1.7 per cent, compared with the previous quarter, while Horsham’s fall was 7.7 per cent. There was a 2.2 per cent fall in Warrnambool. Medians include the highest sales as well as the lowest, which can push up the median price. But this does not necessarily mean all homes in the area will reach such heights. This is worth remembering if using the medians to price your own house - they are a valuable starting point but many individual factors - location, quality and size, for example - may mean your home is worth more, or less.

Heat on to know the lay of the land LAST month’s heatwave was a reminder just how punishing Victoria’s summers can be. Our air-conditioned homes are refuge from the heat, but it is also essential to be prepared for the possibility of bushfires and to develop a bushfire plan. The first step is knowing whether your home is in a bushfire prone area. From 31July last year, vendors must provide that information in the Section 32 statement for would-be buyers. The change, the result of an amendment to the Sale of Land Act 1962, followed a recommendation by the 2009 Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission into the Black Saturday bushfires. REIV member agents know that this is the vendor’s responsibility and that it is their role to remind the vendor to include this information. Not doing so could be potentially serious - providing inaccurate or incomplete information in a vendor statement could mean the buyer has the opportunity to rescind the contract at any time before settlement. For buyers, this is extremely valuable information and should be
read carefully. If you have engaged a buyers’ advocate to advise you, they should make sure you know the bushfire status of any home you are thinking of buying. While the requirement may seem relevant only to rural areas, in fact it applies right across the state including properties on the outskirts of major regional towns and outer Melbourne suburbs such as Frankston. Don’t make any assumptions, just because the property is near a town or in an estate. In August 2013 the state’s Bushfire Prone Area maps, specifying areas prone to or likely to be prone to bushfire, were updated. Almost 236,000 properties were removed from the regulations as a result of the review, but another 119,000 were added for the first time. These reviews ensure the maps are as up-to-date as possible, and with another having taken place in late 2013 further changes are likely. So be sure you have the most up-todate information by going to Victorian Government’s Land Channel www.land.vic.gov.au where specific addresses can be searched and bushfire prone area maps are available.

Local Sport Gorski calls the shots
Runners across the board
By KRYSTEN MANUEL, PHOTOS: ADAM WILSON
MT BULLER hosted its biggest running event to date last weekend the La Sportiva Mountain Running Festival. The two-day event is designed for all types of participants, from ultra – marathon runners and mountain runners to families and road runners. The event took place on the picturesque trails throughout Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Alpine Resorts. The festival saw the return of the Victorian Mountain Running Championships for the first time being held in conjunction with the Mt Buller Sky Run, which consists of three courses of 22km, 36km and 45km, taking in Mirimbah, Mt Buller, Mt Stirling and Craig’s Hut. The inaugural and gruelling Mt Buller Vertical K was also included in the program, where participants ascended from 680m at Mirimbah Park to 1805m at the Mt Buller summit - one vertical kilometre on a course of less than 9km. Mt Buller/ Mt Stirling Resort Management marketing and communications manager Gillian Dobson said with optimum weather and over 150 entrants across the four events, the event was a massive success. “We had a fantastic weekend,” she said. “It was the third running of the Mt Buller Sky run, but the first year we’ve actually run the Mt Buller Running Festival, which was comprised of four events. “Up here is a little bit cooler, so we’ve had temperatures that are about 10 degrees lower than that of the lowlands - we had only about 30 degrees which was lovely.” The competitions were very competitive, with Emma Kraft the first female to cross the line in the Vertical K as well as the first person over all to finish the 22km Ridge Runner.
THE strong skills of Jessica Woods were no match for Australian champion Margaret Gorski at the Albury Classic Women’s Snooker Championships over the weekend. With competitors sourced from every corner of the country, the national ranking tournament for the Australian Billiards and Snooker Council (ABSC) was a great success, according to ABSC president Frank Dewens. “The competition went extremely well,” he told NewsWeekly. “It was supported possibly by the biggest field we’ve had for a long time for a women’s event. “All up there were 29 nominations, but unfortunately due to illness, five dropped out at the last moment, so that reduced the field to 24.” The tournament began with players playing groups of round robin, with the top four from each group advancing through to quality for the knockout round. From Friday to Monday, competitors battled their way through the event, with Friday and Saturday morning covering the preliminary round robin stage, leading to the final held on Monday. “The eventual winner was Margaret Gorski from Albury,” Mr Dewens said. “Margaret’s a past Australian champion on quite a few occasions. “She defeated Jessica Woods, who’s a young girl at just 20. Jessica is our most promising woman player at this stage. She’s just returned back from Latvia playing in the World Championships and she acquitted herself very well. “Predominantly, Jessica is an extremely good pot - she can put balls in the pocket quite easily.
Jessica Woods is the most promising young female player for the Albury club. “Margaret, being a well seasoned player, played a lot of safety and kept Jessica right out of the game the whole way through. She virtually nullified her potting ability by playing safely.” From this competition, the girls will progress to the Oceania Championships, also held in Albury between 29 March and 6 April. Competitors will be sourced not just Australia wide, but from Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and possibly Fiji. Mr Dewens said the weekend’s competition would count towards a possible world title. “This was the first national ranking event Australia has had for the women,” he said. “What it means now is each state championship will carry ranking points and the women accrue the ranking points to find out who is the number one within the country. “The higher the ranking the player, the more chance they have to represent Australia at the World Championships.”
Margaret Gorski “played it safe,” paying off with an overall win.

Chris Ord trail running at Mt Buller. “In the vertical K which was an 8km course that had a vertical elevation of a kilometre, the winner was Jordan Harries and the first female was Emma Kraft,” Ms Dobson said. “The Mt Bulla Sky Run was a 45km course and the overall winner was a fellow by the name of Moritz Aus Der Heride. Lucy Bartholomew was the first female. “In the 36km course, the Stirling Sprint, the winner was Steven Upton. The first female was Jackie Hansen. “In the 22km ridge run, the winner overall and the first female was Emma Kraft and the first male was Jeremy Walker.” Ms Dobson said Mt Buller had made a long time effort to attract trail runners to the mountain, and with the success of the weekend it had paid off. “We’ve been working really hard in the last seven years developing our mountain trail product, which essentially are multi-use trails,” she said. “People are absolutely loving them, the variety of trails is fantastic - great terrain and of course the climate is perfect for this sort of sport. “Mt Buller will certainly be one to watch in terms of trail running into the future.”

Local Sport Rebels in come-from-behind win ALBURYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S first ever Super Rugby match saw the Melbourne Rebels storm from behind to beat the NSW Waratahs 33 - 28 after being down 21-12 at the half-time break. Despite sweltering heat as the mercury reached 41 degrees, a crowd of 3856 entered the Albury Sports Ground on Saturday for the game between two of the countries top Rugby Union teams. As well at the main game, fans were treated to a rapid fire tens round robin tournament which kick-started the day. In a unique twist, the locally based rugby league club, Albury Thunder, entered a team in the tournament and faced off against their Union counterparts, Albury Steamers. Teams from Shepparton, Wagga and Box Hill (Melbourne) also competed in the event which featured seven-minute halves with a short break in between. The result of the round robin was a draw with the League team almost stealing the event. However, Box Hill was eventually declared the winner on a countback, scoring 16 tries to 14. It was the first trial of the season for the NSW Waratahs and despite a solid start, they were not able to capitalise. However, coach Michael Cheika said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly disappointed about losing their opening trial, although he was disappointed with the lack of discipline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the score, I care about the rules of engagement and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver on what we said we would,â&#x20AC;? Cheika said afterwards. But the coach was not overcritical of the early season result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fit enough and will improve for our next game,â&#x20AC;? he said. The match, played in four 20-minute quarters to account for the heat, proved a tough opening battle for both teams. The heat seemed to have little effect on the Waratahs in the opening minutes, with the NSW on the board just two minutes in when scrum half Brendan McKibbin scampered through a massive hole, 20 metres out to have his side 7-0 up after the conversion. Despite chances on both sides, it was the last time either team troubled the scorers. With the Rebels coming closest, being held up over the line right on the stroke of quarter time.
The Rebels atoned early in the second quarter, with Mitch Inman crossing in the corner for Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first try, an effort that put them just two points off the pace, at 7-5. However the Tahs hit back with quick hands from a scrum putting the straightrunning Matt Carraro into space with Brendan McKibbinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversion taking the Waratahs to 14-5 midway through the second quarter. But the good work was undone minutes later when Rebel Scott Higginbotham kicked from the scrum base to allow flyer Ben Meehan to win an 80-metre race to cross on debut, with the conversion making it 14-12. But with the clock ticking down, injury-plagued former Wallaby and Brumbies skipper, Stephen Hoiles, trialling for the Waratahs, stormed over for a converted try to have the Waratahs in front at the break. The Waratahs were reduced to 14 men in the third quarter with Tim Metcher yellow carded for a deliberate offside infringement. The Rebels took advantage, turning momentum their way and allowing young flyhalf Bryce Hegarty to cross for their third try which Jason Woodward converted to put Rebels back within two points at 21-19. The Rebels finally hit the front at the 66th minute mark when fullback Woodward crossed after backing up a break by hooker Pat Leafa . After converting his own try, the Rebels assumed a 26-21 lead. Momentum swinging their way, the Rebels scored again in the final minute of the third quarter through Tom English extending their lead to 33-21 at three-quarter time. The Waratahs improved in the final quarter but despite Peter Bethamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runaway try late in the match, they were unable to overtake the Rebels, going down five tries to four. Melbourne Rebels 33 (tries: Inman, Meehan, Hegarty, Wooward, English; cons: Woodward 3, Roberts) def NSW Waratahs 28 (tries: McKibbin, Carraro, Hoiles, Betham; cons: McKibbin 3, Foley) Half-time: NSW Waratahs 21 - 12 Melbourne Rebels Yellow cards: Tim Metcher
