Mayor fights off last-minute challenge

Monday night’s Albury City mayoral vote saw a few suprises thrown at the chamber. Mayor Kevin Mack faced an unexpected lastminute challenge for the role from his predecessor, while councillor Henk van de Ven stepped aside from his deputy mayor duties to create a close race between councillors for the position.

Terror backlash By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE Albury Wodonga Islamic community fears it could soon face hostility from residents with the heavy national media focus on Islamic terrorists. The comments come from Islamic Society of Albury Wodonga president Yakub Muhammad who spoke to the Albury Wodonga News Weekly following anti-terror raids on Islamic homes across Australia and a ramped-up national committment to fight the Islamic State, or ISIS. Mr Muhammad said the constant recent media coverage of a small percentage of Islamic extremists, who he said the peaceful local community condemn, threatened to create a fear mongering mentality against all Muslims, particularly in regional Australia. “Regional areas tend to cop it the most because there isn’t as much education or exposure to Muslims,” he said. “All of a sudden people can see someone with dark skin in a turban or Islamic costume or with a head scarf on, and I have specifically seen here some people get scared and some get angry.”" Mr Muhammad, Yakub Muhammad. who has lived in Albury for 27 years, said his sister and wife have recently been abused in a car park by a man for wearing hijabs (scarfs that cover the hair) and were left feeling shaken and too afraid to continue their shopping. His friend’s wife has also reported being abused by a man in Lavington shopping centre for wearing a niqab (veil that covers the face and shows only the eyes), and said she had to publicly defend her decision for wanting to wear one for religious reasons. Mr Muhammad said he is concerned about the effect current international events and media coverage will create, particularly on Albury Wodonga’s approximate 300 Muslim residents. “I’m just waiting to get more abusive calls, I think they are coming big time,” he said. “Islam is about peace, not violence or beheadings, that’s not Islam” he said. Mr Muhammad said he is making an effort to open the doors of the local Muslim community to residents who have any questions or are curious, including holding open days.

Victory over adversity in eye of Tigers By TANIA PHILLIPS JUST seven points separated the two teams as the Albury Tigers swept to victory over arch-rivals Yarrawonga in the Ovens and Murray Football Grand Final at Lavington on Sunday. It was a bitter-sweet moment for the Tigers who took the crown in front of 9189 supporters, including one of their own, James McQuillan. McQuillan, who suffered life-changing

spinal injuries in the opening game of the year, took to the field at the start of the game with his team mates. The Tigers chose to honour their injured mate, running through a grand final banner bearing his likeness before the start of the big game at Lavington Oval on Sunday afternoon. It was an emotional start to what proved to be a game of see-sawing fortunes before finally going to Albury by just one goal and one behind despite a Brendan Fevola-led

Yarrawonga fight-back in the final quarter. The game was also a victory for the Albury Council according to the council’s event team leader Ros Walls who said the successful staging of the Ovens and Murray showcase event showed once again “why the Lavington Sports Ground is the premier sporting venue in the region”.

Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

By ERIN SOMERVILLE

Thumbs Up TO Robyn at the Red Cross Blood Donor Centre for her kindness and patience with our Albury Wodonga NewsWeekly journalist who was very nervous about her first blood donation in years. You were amazing!

Thumbs Down TO Albury’s tiny roundabouts – so pointless!

Thumbs Up TO the man from the gas works. After replacing the gas meter, he offered to relight all the gas appliances.

Thumbs Up TO Scottish Bruce. He contacted us here at the NewsWeekly to help him look for an Albury woman by the name of Erica who he met at the Brazil World Cup in Porto Alegre and Curitiba after the Australia vs Spain game. Apparantly, he has a present for Erica and forgot to get her contact details. We think this is a pretty good effort from Scottish Bruce.

IT’S time to start revving your engines.The Border Bike Fest is roaring this way, and already locals of all ages are getting excited. With the Aspect Riverina School one of the many organisations and charities that benefitted from last year’s event, the students couldn’t hide their excitement when the bikes rolled back into the area last week to start fueling excitement for the event. In its seventh year, and with over $55,000 already raised for the local community so far, the Border Bike Fest is now a major fund-raiser for the Lions Club of Wodonga, the Albury Wodonga Ulysses Motorcycle Club, and the local Classic and Enthusiasts Motorcycle Club. It draws over 100 volunteers, and has grown into a major tourist attraction from the area. The event is a winner for all bike enthusiasts, meaning they get to show off their wheels, browse the latest goods, and enjoy the day for a great cause. “The Border BIke Fest is a way to show off the bikes, and shine them up,” Ulysses bike club trea-

Deadlines:

Wodonga resident Jeff Paini is taking part in the event this year, and feels prepared for the challenge. “This will be my fourth year competing,” he said. “While everyone has their own method to tackle the stairs, I’m the turtle of the team, walking, but without stopping, bursting out at the top to sprint to the finish line. “The thing that amazes me is the consistency of my times over the past three years. “I have tried different things, like two-stepping some levels, gripping onto the rail to assist up but the consistency persists. “Hopefully this year it continues. I look forward to many more and to achieve it with my son and daughter-in-law is an added bonus.” The Eureka Climb will involve participants walking, running or climbing the 1,642 stairs to level 88’s Skydeck – the highest observation deck in the Southern Hemisphere. A crowd of 188 locals attended the Stay Healthy, Look after your Selfie Night at Huon Hill Hotel recently and raised $16,000 for the Border Ovarian Cancer Awareness Group.

Mayor Mack still paddles for steamer THE Retro Youth Cafe, the Cumberoona paddlesteamer and the Albury Art Gallery will be among Kevin Mack’s top priorities following his reelection as Albury mayor on Monday night. In an unexpected move, councillor Alice Glachan also put her hand up for the role during Monday’s vote, but Cr Mack won the position on a six to three vote. This will be Cr Mack's sec-

ond consecutive term as mayor after he took long-service leave last year from Victoria Police to focus on the role. Cr Mack said he is looking forward to delivering even more in the 2014-2015 term. “I think it’s fantastic to be returned, I really feel it’s an opportunity now to spread my wings a bit more,” he said. “It’s a privilege to lead this city and it’s great to have a second year and an opportunity to do that.

“I’ll lead this city with the confidence I have in the last 12 months.” Meanwhile, councillor Henk van de Ven chose not to run again for the deputy mayor position, leaving the path open to council’s youngest councillor, Ross Jackson. In a tight vote, Cr Jackson won the title five votes to four over Cr Graham Docksey. “It’s nice knowing you have the support of your fellow councillors, so very chuffed,” he said.

Border best at keeping it clean THE Border region knows first impressions count. Beechworth, Rutherglen, and Chiltern’s efforts in keeping up appearances have paid off, with the three towns being nominated in 2014’s Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria’s Tidy Towns awards. The towns have been nominated in the Sustainable Communities Awards section. The three Border towns have compiled over a dozen projects that have led to the nominations, including the Lake Sambell Bird Hide Project, Rutherglen’s recycled art project, and work on the Chiltern grandstand. The three towns were congratulated on the nomination by Sustainability Victoria CEO Stan Krp, who described their initiatives as exceptional examples of environmental stewardship. Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria’s Tidy Towns Sustainable Communities Awards program includes 11 categories, culminating in the overall Tidy Town - Sustainable Community of the Year Award. The Tidy Towns - Sustainable Communities Awards event ceremony will be held at Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre Wangaratta on 11 October 2014 where winners of each category and the Tidy Town of the Year 2014 will be announced. Tickets are now available to

all members of the public. For tickets or further information, visit www.sustainability.vic. gov.au/kabv.

Fake abduction frustrates police By ERIN SOMERVILLE ALBURY police are frustrated that a fake report last week about an abduction attempt cost them time and resources. The 13-year-old boy untruthfully reported that he was approached on Pearsall Street by a man at 4pm on 9 September.

Police spent time creating an image of the alleged offender and appealing to the public for help. “There is certainly something to be said in that it takes a fair bit of effort into working with the public and putting on extra police in school areas,” Acting Inspector Daniel Finch said.

Police are hoping the false alarm has highlighted the reality of stranger danger, and are hoping parents have used the opportunity to educate their children in the ‘Safe People, Safe Places’ message following further genuine reports of abduction attempts across New South Wales.

Green scene By ERIN SOMERVILLE GREEN bike lanes are expected to make Albury a safer place to cycle, following concerns that many local motorists are not bike friendly. AlburyCity has introduced the trial green lanes in Smollet Street in a bid to curb the illegal parking across bike paths that jeopordises cyclists’ safety. While local cyclists said Albury was a generally safe place to cycle, many motorists still needed more education and tolerance. Cyclist Jo-Ann Lancaster says she has encountered some ugly behavious from Albury drivers, including rude gestures and verbal abuse. Occasionally, her children have had to witness these incidents. “There is still some hostility driv-

ers have towards bike riders, it’s irrational,” she said. “It is often seen as something perverse to ride a bike.” The statistics back cyclists’ concerns that Border motorists need education, with the January 2009 to December 2013 bicycle crash rate sitting at 8.6 per cent. This is significantly higher than the South West region's 3.2 per cent, and the state’s 5.6 per cent. Smollett Street is heavily used by cyclists as a route through central Albury, and its green lanes are expected to extend between Olive and Young streets. This will allow cyclists to use a dedicated bike lane directly into the city. The green lanes mean motorists must not park on the green area, but

in the parking bay beside the lanes. Fines up to $242 could be dished out to motorists who do not comply. Cyclist Chris Pidd, who regularly totes his three-year-old Oliver around via a bike, says the designated lanes will greatly improve his cycling journey. “Parking across bike lanes is an occasional problem,” he said. “Generally, I find drivers very courteous and patient.” The move to place the cycle lanes on the footpath side of the parking bays has been praised by Ms Lancaster, who feels it will help reduce tragic bike accidents. “This is how they do it in Europe,” she said, having cycled in places such as Denmark and Germany.

TEMPERATURES may have been only in the single digits, but that did not stop eager swimmers from waiting at the gate of Albury Swim Centre at 6am Friday to start their first laps of the season. The pools were steaming at a delightful 26 degrees, making it hard for even the most hesitant swimmer to resist a morning dip in the morning spring sunshine. The team at Albury Swim Centre is ready for a big season, manager Paul Tanner said. “It’s a beautiful place to be,” he said. Swimmer Nan Brandt has been doing laps at the pool for 35 years, and wasted no time jumping back in the water on Friday. “I really love the space here, it’s not cramped,” she said. With triathlon, swimming clubs, and water polo sessions all soon approaching, it is expected the season

will heat up very quickly. Luckily the eight-lane 50-metre pool, six-lane 25-metre pool, and children’s pool ensure there is plenty of room for everyone. Parents are reminded that their children should be wearing sun protection at all times, even in the spring months, and those with younger children should be starting to build on their swimming skills now, rather than when it is busier in the season. The pool management says the centre won’t be used as a day care centre, and children under the age of 10 will not be admitted if they do not have adult supervision. Lavington swimmers won’t have to stay dry for much longer, with their pool set to open on 3 October. Visitation to the Albury and Lavington swim centres in the 2013-’14 season topped 160,000, and the managers are keen to see just as many faces there again this season.

It's footy out, and carols in By ERIN SOMERVILLE

More investment in freight rail infrastructure could benefit the Border's economy, says Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE Associate Professor Ian Gray. 127630

Freight needs fast tracking By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE Border could be making better use of its freight rail system, says Charles Sturt University Associate Professor Ian Gray. A forum held in Albury last week, headed by Prof Gray, has many local government and industry representatives talking about getting freight back on track, as freight volume increases every year. Prof Gray said Australia was doing well with the rail infrastructure it had, and commended the Ettamogah Rail Hub. But he said there was vast room for improvements in infrastructure to take some of the

load off the road. “What we’re looking at is, given that the amount of freight moving across Australia is rising rapidly, it’s going to be important we make the most use we can of our rail system,” he said. Up to 30 per cent of freight between Queensland and Victoria is moved on the railway, compared to about just five per cent between Melbourne and Sydney. Regional Australian areas, like Albury Wodonga, could miss out on good industry opportunities if rail freight was not made a priority. “It has the potential to ben-

efit the local economy,” he said. “Container trains can carry just about anything.” Australia still lags behind countries such as the USA and Canada, whose infrastructure allows freight trains to carry up to 30 per cent heavier loads. Prof Gray said a focus on railways would not detract from road freight, but would simply help carry the increased loads expected to come over the coming years. Last week’s forum was attended by about 30 people who are interested in the further development of the area’s freight system.

THE sound of football’s whistles and cheering will be replaced with a ‘Silent Night’ and singing, with Albury Sports Ground named as this year’s host of Carols by Candlelight. The carols previously held in QEII Square have had to move following extensive renovations to the nearby art gallery. The Albury Tigers Club was only too happy to help provide the event with a temporary home. “I think it’s an iconic event and we want to help people celebrate Christmas prior to 25 December in a nice, family-friendly environment with fantastic entertainment,” Albury Tigers Club president Gavan Schultz said.

The event will be made even more special for the club, with funds from the candle sales going towards the James McQuillan Future Fund to support the injured Tiger. Council predicts up to 10,000 people could come to this year’s event which is the highlight of the city’s calendar, with organisers promising it will be as wonderful as ever in its new, temporary venue. “It used to be here in the ’90s, and it will be a great event,” AlburyCity event team leader Ros Walls said. With a home now secured for the 2014 event, musical stars can shine brightly on the night as council opens its applications for auditions. Carols by Candlelight musical director Paul Gibbs, who has had 13 years' experience in running the musical pro-

gram, is looking forward to performing in a new location. “There is plenty of room and it’s in a central location and a scenic setting,” he said. He hinted there would be some traditional carols and modern twists to appeal to the diverse audience the event attracts. A large band and choir is also expected to hep ramp up the celebrations on the night. Those auditioning should prepare two varities of material, including a Christmas song, along with a different piece. Applications close on Friday 3 October. Auditions will be held on Saturday 11 October at the Albury Entertainment Centre.People can apply at council’s website www.alburycity.nsw.gov.au/carols

Love of the open road By ERIN SOMERVILLE WHEN John Dinan first began driving trucks in the late 1950s, everything loaded onto his vehicle was done with his own two hands. “When I first started I loaded wheat, and would put a twelfth of a tonne on my shoulders to load the truck,” he said. “We would load 20 tonnes each truck in one afternoon.” The Howlong resident has this month been inducted into the 2014 Shell Rimula Wall of Fame in Alice Springs for his achievements and lifetime dedication to the Australian transport community. Mr Dinan began driving dozers in Mount Buller in 1954 after leaving school.

When he turned 18, he got his first break as a truck driver carting hardwood logs to Mansfield sawmills. He said he never expected he’d be in the driver’s seat for so long. “It was just a job I got into, and now I couldn’t do without it.” He moved to Albury after he was married and took a position driving for H.R. Hanel on routes to Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. His passion for the job kept him at it for so long. “I love the freedom,” he said. “They pay me to see Australia.” During his driving career he has carted most things: general freight, livestock, grain, wool, logs, and he remembers loading 20 tonnes of flour each on up to six trucks

from Albury’s old Allied Mill. “Forklifts are handy now, but I’m not as fit,” he said. Mr Dinan’s last job was running from Wagga to Euston with Epsom Express, carting for Australia Post. In May, 2011, at the age of 73, he decided he’d had enough of being away from home. He now has plenty of time to spend with his seven children, and many grandchildren. Every now and then, though, Mr Dinan can’t help but wish he was back on the road. “I’ll see a new truck up in Alice Springs every now and then and I think I’d like to be in one of them, but I just can’t do it now.”

Border’s melting pot By ERIN SOMERVILLE AUSTRALIA is indeed the lucky country, and now 18 new people are also able to call it home. Australia’s newest citizens living in the Border made their pledge last Wednesday under a cloud-riddled spring sky in Albury’s Botanic Gardens, which co-incided with Australian Citizenship Day. The new Australians come from seven different countries, adding to the nation’s large melting pot of multiculturalism. Although AlburyCity welcomes new citizens every month, the celebration was extra-special having co-incided with Citizenship Day. The Patel family, originally from India, gathered at the event to see their mother and wife Jamki become an Australian.

“It feels good,” Mrs Patel said about her new citizenship. The Patel family have been in the country for around six years, and moved to Albury from Sydney for a better lifestyle. They say it was a great decision. “Albury Wodonga is a really nice place to live,” Ketean Patel said. AlburyCity Mayor Kevin Mack said the community was ready to welcome them with open arms. “It’s fantastic that these people will take their oath of Australian citizenship on the very day we celebrate our own allegiance to the country,” he said. “It’s important we recognise the significance of our Australian citizenship. “It’s something that’s highly prized, and comes with the favour

Yesha, Ketean, and Tisha watch Jamki Patel become the last member of their family to become an Australian citizen. 127588 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE and fortune people from other nations risk their lives for.” Albury is a very multicultural

community, with the 2006 Census showing 7247 residents were born overseas, making up 9.1 per cent of the population.

ON BEHALF of Cancer Council NSW, I would like to sincerely thank the community of Albury, surrounding towns and its volunteers, businesses, and schools for showing they care on Daffodil Day, 22 August. Through the support and donations from Albury and surrounding locals, Daffodil Day has become the largest national fund-raising event of its kind in the southern hemisphere. In NSW, it is predicted that 45,245 people will be diagnosed with cancer and 14,438 will die from the disease in 2016. Chief Executive Officer, Jim L’Estrange says: “Every donation counts towards the hope of a cancer-free future and our wonderful supporters came out in their thousands to support Daffodil Day this year. “All funds raised from Daffodil Day are channelled back into the Cancer Council’s research, prevention, advocacy and information, and support services, which all aim to reduce the impact of cancer in the community and lessen the burden for people affected by cancer. “Without the support of the people from Albury and the surrounding communities we wouldn’t be to continue the important work we do.” Community involvement is vital and means we can continue to run services in your local area including our Cancer Council Information Centre located within Murray Valley Private Hospital, our community speaker program which provides cancer information and prevention presentations to community groups and workplaces, as well as our ‘Eat it to beat it’ program that focuses on educating parents on the importance of providing healthy options in school lunchboxes as well as the need for adequate fruit and vegetable consumption for our children. Thankyou to the Albury and surrounding communities for showing they care about helping Cancer Council in its mission to beat cancer and for their ongoing support of Daffodil Day. Emma Ryall, Communication and Event Co-ordinator, Cancer Council NSW, Western Region.

THEY may have been cuter than they were scary, but these pint-sized pirates had no problems letting their imagination run wild on the high seas of Wodonga. The Wodonga Library hosted ‘Pirates on the Grass’ outside the Wodonga Cube, and

children were treated to craft, games, and storytime. The event was held ahead of international Talk Like A Pirate Day. Each year on 19 September, people around the nation loosen their ties, lose the school uniform and get ready to Talk Like a Pirate.

Throughout Australia, Talk Like a Pirate is dedicated to raising awareness of the impact childhood cancer has on families while raising vital funds for a great cause. By the looks of it, the children in Wodonga certainly had fun doing that.

When two tribes go to war By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE Border could be invaded by a sea of red and white this week as thousands of Sydney Swans fans make their way to the MCG for this Saturday’s AFL grand final against Hawthorn. Local residents could have a challenge on their hands getting tickets to the coveted match, with up to 30,000 tickets made available earlier this week through a ballot system to both clubs’ members who had registered earlier in September. Die-hard fans were queueing outside Ticketek on Melbourne’s Exhibition Street first thing Monday morning, and tickets have already been found on ebay at a whopping $4000 each. While those lucky fans who score a ticket could be rolling through Albury Wodonga towards Melbourne on a fleet of buses later in the week, Qantas and Virgin have also been reported to be adding extra flights for the match. For local Hawthorn supporter Sarah Murray, seeing her beloved team play in the grand final for the second year running is something she has been waiting all season for.

“I have been a fanatical Hawks supporter my whole life, thanks to my Dad and Mum who both came from Hawks-loving families. There was no avoiding it, and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she said. Despite the club testing many fans’ loyalty over the past years having lost many great players to other clubs, including Sydney, and missing out on premierships, Ms Murray said her loyalty was still as strong as ever. “Heartaches aside, in the past few years we have seen some insane accomplishments. “We’ve accumulated a bunch of brilliant players, who not only play incredible footy together, but they honestly look like they have a ripper time together as well. “What more could a club want than to beat this team and earn a back-to-back premiership? We have proven to all AFL lovers that we are not a ‘one man team’ and that together, Hawthorn Football Club can be premiers once again.” It is expected to be a long week for both of the clubs’ fans as the build-up for the game continues, but Ms Murray has high hopes for Hawthorn. “Bring it on!”

THE BMW M4 looks great, goes like a rocket, sounds the part and has brakes that make the eyes bulge forwards when fully applied. The M4 coupe has a sleek rear end and a low-slung look that grabbed plenty of attention during the just completed week of road testing. The lower area of the front is extremely complex, which looks great, but the repair bills would be high if it touched a kerb. BMW is one of the many European makes that have parking sensors at the front that don’t work unless they are turned on manually, thus increasing the chances of the aforementioned bills. The long sculpted bonnet has a power bulge that gives it a purposeful look and the rear spoiler is particularly well integrated into the boot lid. The roof of the BMW M4 follows the lead of the M3 coupe in being made from lightweight carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) to reduces the centre of gravity and further enhance road grip. They were in black and provide an eye-catching contrast to the deep red body colour on the test car. A glass sunroof is available as a no-cost option. The M4 coupe weighs about 60 kilograms less than the previous M3 coupe thanks to clever engineering and the use of added aluminium. BMW has moved from a naturally aspirated V8 engine in the previous model (M3 coupe) to turbocharged straight-six in the M4 coupe. The six generates an impressive 317kW of power and 550Nm of torque from just 3.0 litres. That’s well above the output of the 4.0-litre V8 (309kW / 400Nm). Transmission options are seven-speed M double-clutch automatic or the no-cost option of an upgraded six-speed manual. In a sign of the times, the manual is available only on special order. The BMW M4 comes with six airbags, enhanced braking systems and dynamic stability control. However there is an extra charge for some items that cheaper cars provide as standard. The option list includes Lane Change and Blind Spot Warning ($1000), Head-Up Display ($1700), Tyre Pressure Warning ($550) and Parking Assistance($675). The impressive BMW Connected Drive electronic system includes Intelligent Emergency Call which transmits vehicle crash information to a BMW call centre from where emergency services are alerted if required. Similarly, TeleServices transmits breakdown information if the driver gets really stuck. BMW M4 uses a widescreen

Spring shines on road bikes SPRING has really kicked in and what a great time to be a motorcycle rider with warm days and longer sunshine hours beckoning us to go riding. That’s just what we did last weekend, with a day ride over to Jamieson brewery. We headed up the King Valley through Whitfield, and the delightful ride up over the hill to Mansfield, and on to the brewery. It proved to be a great day’s ride that I can highly recommend if you haven’t tried it. September also heralds the start of a very busy time for us. As I write this, we are busy setting up for Henty Field Days, and it’s looking better than ever with some great deals on offer, so if you get a chance drop by one of our three distributor backed sites (Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki) and come and say hello. We are also gearing up for October with the Triumph demo fleet due to be at the shop for a demo day on Saturday 1 October, offering the chance to have a ride on one, so please give us a call and we will book you in for a ride.

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP The next day is the Border Bike Fest on the Lincoln Causeway, run by the Wodonga Lions Club, the local Ulysses Club, and the border Classic and Enthusiasts Motorcycle Club. This is a great event with a Show and Shine Competition that always brings out some amazing motorcycles, as well as trade displays. It is an event not to be missed if you are into motorcycles. The following weekend is the Australian motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island, and I hope the whole country is behind Jack Miller as he strives to become Australia’s next motorcycle world champion. Speaking of champions, it would be remiss of me not to

mention a fund-raiser for one of our local champions like Ross, or Snoop, as she is more affectionately known. Snoop has the chance at 15 years of age to compete in a support race at the Malaysian Grand Prix following Phillip Island. This extremely gifted and determined rider is running a fund-raising night at The Bended Elbow on Thursday 9 October. They have legendary Australian racers Cam Donald and Albury’s own former world superbike racer Robbie Phillis as guest speakers. Contact The Bended Elbow for details. Until next month, safe riding!

All things automotive

Your name: Dave Payne Make and model: Mazda RX7 FC3S How long you've been working on your vehicle?: I’ve had the vehicle for about 12 years I spent the first 6 customising it, and the last 6 maintaining it. Tell us your 'toy story'. . . I originally purchased the rotary engine that’s in the car to put in a corolla wagon I have but it was taking too long to get the conversion done (before I had the skills to do it myself) and this RX7 came up at Alessi Mazda so I grabbed it, I took it straight to the workshop and pulled the motor out and then decided to change the colour (as i don’t love white) and it snowballed from there. I changed the colour, painted or polished everything underneath, replaced every part that would come off, got a full custom interior built from some drawings i did, upgraded the audio and had the engine built with a bunch of upgraded parts (turbo, fuel system, cooling system etc) and it now makes about 500hp, I got aftermarket suspension to lower it so much and fitted 20” wheels. Too many mods to mention...

Fest of the Border By TANIA PHILLIPS

BORDERVILLE - the weekend of circus, performance and art to mark 35 years of the world-famous Flying Fruit Fly Circus and their home on the Border - is just a week away now. Based at Circus HQ in Albury and Gateway Village in Wodonga, Borderville, from 3-5 October, will celebrate the story of Australia’s most successful cultural community development project with exclusive shows and exhibitions. The three-day celebration kicks off with a musical performance by Belgium’s international cabaret chanteuse Micheline Van Hautem at the Butter Factory Theatre at 7pm on Friday night. Recognising the shared history and successes of Hothouse Theatre and the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, this musical evening stars Micheline in a unique evening of songs by Jacques Brel. On Saturday the Gateway Village at Wodonga will present classic documentaries from the early days of the Flying Fruit Fly Circus (Butter Factory Theatre); Borderville visual art exhibitions (GIGS, Creators, Printmakers, Butter Factory Theatre); Musikids open house. Two documentaries, The Greatest Little Show on Earth and Nanjing Project 1 will be screened in the Butter Factory Studio throughout the day, gold coin donation only - 10am to 4pm. From 3pm at the Butter Factory

What’s Box office on

Theatre, former Fruit Fly Tom Flanagan, one of Australia’s youngest leading acrobatic clowns, will perform his award-winning international hit in his hometown for the first time. Kaput is the story of a clumsy ‘Mr Fixit’ who, despite his best efforts to perform the simplest of tasks, only manages to fuel the catastrophe unfolding around him. Silent movieesque slapstick, physical comedy at its best. And then on Saturday night at the Flying Fruitfly headquarters from 6.30pm there will be the Nanjing Project. Three decades ago, Australian circus was changed forever when the Nanjing Acrobatic Troupe came to Albury to teach our young performers the art of Chinese circus. Now, Borderville welcomes five of Nanjing’s new generation of circus artists for an unmissable program of skill and acrobatics, joined on stage by performers from the Flying Fruit Fly Circus and the National Institute of Circus Arts. Last but by no means least there will be - A Little more Shhh at the Vaudeville Club in the LibraryMuseum, 4 (adults) and 5 (kids!) October. The next manifestation of the cabaret ‘A Little Bit of Shhh’, and last in the sell-out series for AlburyCity’s LibraryMuseum. This final one is called ‘A Little More Shhh’, 'cause some people don’t

The bumper Borderville edition of the hugely popular adult evening, and kids morning, is carefully curated by stellar circus performer and Fruit Fly trainer Stuart Christie. On Saturday evening the LibraryMuseum is transformed into a club.

The Maze Runner (M) STARRING: Dylan O’Brien, Aml Ameen, Ki Hong Lee IT IS action from the opening scene with this film. The Maze Runner will throw its audience immediately into the middle of giant maze along with our soon-tobe hero Thomas, who has lost his memory but can thankfully remember his name and how to speak English. If you haven’t read the book, like myself, you will be just as confused as he is about the place. We spend a little bit of time in the peaceful eye of the maze storm, aka The Glade, watching Thomas learn how the young men and boys have been periodically brought into the maze, and turned their safe zone into a home away from home. It is a complicated and structured society, that works around a handful of speedy and brave men who run the maze every day to map it and attempt to find an escape. They must be back before dark, though, because as we are repeatedly told ’no-one survives a night in the maze’. The introduction and background to the maze is very quick, and it doesn’t take long before the action kicks off. Soon, the young Teresa, the first woman and the last person to be offered to the maze, is sent into The Glade. She and Thomas start to

piece together their fragmented memories about a mysterious organisation known as W.C.K.D. that has sent them to the maze. It is upon their arrival that the peaceful and structured way of life the men have created starts to crumble, and all they thought they knew about their world starts to change. In a period where young adult science fiction and fantasy films are hitting screens around the globe, it was great to see The Maze Runner stand apart by cutting to the chase of the plot, and thankfully focusing on mateship and action instead of an awkward romance. The film also suprisingly offered no comic relief, creating a deliciously dark atmosphere for the entire 113 minutes. While it seemed that the group found their way out of

the maze a little too quickly, with only a few bumps along the way, I was interested to know that this was only the first phase of their test. The temptation to see how they fare next, and to just basically understand what is going on, is too good to resist. The movie will leave you feeling a little bit like a rat in a maze, coming away with more questions than answers, but I guess that is the perfect objective of a potential movie franchise. The love child of The Hunger Games and Lord of the Flies, The Maze Runner is a good choice for those looking for a bit of fast tension and action without the cliches of a young adult fantasy flick. Now screening at Regent Cinemas. - Erin Somerville

BEING a specialist retailer in audio and visual products, you can be criticised for not promoting the very latest gadget, and at times not being understood as to why you do not get involved in certain elements of the market. In our trade, the main show in Australia, Integrate, and in Europe, the IFA, and the USA Cedia shows have recently competed to create the editorial to desire the next new hot product. Electronic products have become almost a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top 40â&#x20AC;? type industry, having created a generation of technophobes that live and die by the phone and other technologies. Unless you are part of the rotational evolution, there is a feeling you have missed the boat. The specialist retailer takes almost the opposite position, that is we are more conservative and less hit-and-miss with our products. It can be some time after the launch of the next new item before we enter the field. Considerations revolve around identifying the products that are built, designed, and developed as a value for money investment. We often find that the first and second generational products are designed by engineers or techno designers with little

HDMI version 2.0 is backwards-compatible with all previous HDMI versions. HDMI 2.0 will support up to 60 fps (frames per second) content at 3840 x 2160 resolution. It also supports the next generation audio. Other features include simultaneous delivery of dual video streams on the same display; support for 21:9 aspect ratio content and displays. HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is the latest version of the encryption/decryption scheme used by HDMI to prevent copying of audio/videocontent as it travels from a source through additional devices (an A/V receiver, for example). It is anticipated that the new generation blu-ray players that support UHD will not play without HDCP 2.2. HEVC stands for High Efficiency Video Coding (also known as H.265). HEVC is said to be about twice as efficient as the current MPEG-4 coding, which in turn means a higher compression ratio for more manageable streaming of UHD content. This is the expected format the streaming video services will use. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing market, when the desire to have the latest first creates the dilemma for the specialist retailer versus the ultra-efficient public relations and marketing machines.

understanding of user ability. It takes a few generations of the product to make the product friendly for the customer, which is an issue that repeats itself frequently. Waiting for the second or third generation of a successful product or innovation today does not reap the sales to the manufacturers as it did in the past, and in the past, the typical customer appeared more aware and a little more patient. We have the classic case in the new crop of ultra high definition television or 4K terminology. From a theoretical prospective, the more pixels therefore the television must be better. Like digital cameras, the more megapixels does not guarantee you the best product. The first generation of ultra high definition televisions has the possibility not to function as a true UHD television and issues are expected to occur in some models including the next generation. The reason is the lack of software, the first generation of ultra high definition players and recorders are not set down until the October releases in 2015. A very important feature missing from a number of current ultra high definition televisions are these three features, all of which will be essential to get the best out of the future technology.

1/7 Glendaloch Crt, Lavington

Loads of potential IN THE prime central location of Wodonga’s Woodland Street, there is an abundance of potential for a wonderful future at this cosy home. Just blocks from the CBD, and close to schools, this is a property for those who like to be at the heart of things. A large front yard and verandah lead into the home, which proves to be suprisingly spacious and light inside. Branching off from the entrance hallway is a roomy lounge area, big enough to fit the entire family, or simply to spread out in on your own. A large gas heater, air-conditioning system, and plenty of shelf space leaves room to turn the area into your comfortable and ideal living space. Tucked around the corner is a smaller dining area, offering the chance of intimate dining. The large kitchen, with a little bit of tender loving care, could be the envy of your friends and family, offering plenty of room to whip up a storm. With a direct view in the spacious backyard,

it could very well become one of your favourite rooms of the house. The three bedrooms all offer plenty of light, with the house’s back bedroom also possibly being used a study area. The front bedroom has plenty of room, and can be made into a lovely master bedroom. While the bathroom will need a bit of upgrading, it has all the basic features that can easily be given a modern facelift. The potential continues out the back door, with a large backyard proving great for a game of cricket with the kids, or for keen gardeners looking to work their green thumb not too far from the shops for when inspiration strikes.

Pigeon pair flies into view THIS pair of two-bedroom units provides an opportunity to simultaneously be a first-home buyer and an investor. You can live in one and lease the other. Alternatively they may suit an investor who likes to add their own style to a property.

The units have the same floorplan, and one is ready to occupy while the other needs renovation and TLC before occupancy. Both units have an open living area, gas heater, built-in robes, separate toilet, combined bathroom/laundry, carport, and a storage shed.

0.46% 0.5%

Being located on a triangular corner results in the block being open to both Hague and Moffat streets, so the units have a feeling of space around them. They’re in an established residential area opposite Lavington Primary School, and only a few minutes’ drive from Lavington Square Shopping Centre.

course, for example. Agents in major regional centres such as Bendigo and others within commuting distance of Melbourne, such as Gippsland towns, say a tree change used to be associated with retirement, as older people sought to relax, downsize and get more value for their superannuation dollar. Now, though, lifestyle and affordability mean many young families are making the move and the tree change home could range from a small home to one in a subdivision on the fringes. It is a story being repeated in centres such as Kyneton, Birregurra, Daylesford, Traralgon and Barwon Heads, where the regional house price of $690,000 is higher than Melbourne’s. Bendigo, also with excellent schools and infrastructure including the new hospital project, even has a laneway culture now. Other areas where the median topped the half-million mark include beachside Apollo Bay, OceanGrove and Torquay, Newtown in Geelong, Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree, and the Macedon Ranges towns of Gisborne, Macedon, Woodend. The good news is that, for regional home owners in these areas, prices are likely to continue to grow as more Melburnians opt for a rural lifestyle, while still being able to work in the city - or even just visit the CBD - when they choose.

IN RECENT years we’ve seen a changing face of the regional property market. The growth in the number of tree changers and sea changers has seen a number of areas growing in value and popularity. Agents in towns within commuting distance of Melbourne are reporting more competition for properties in and on the outskirts of their towns - and also a change in which areas are most sought-after. In Castlemaine, for example, areas west of the railway were previously regarded as the wrong side of the tracks, while streets on the eastern side were seen as among the town’s finest. Now, though, west side property values have been driven up by demand from commuters wanting to be close to the station. This is a trend not confined to small towns. In Ballarat, agents say that in areas close to the station, such as Soldiers Hill, where the median house price rose by 49 per cent in the five years to June 30, the market is being driven by commuters. They are attracted to period homes at far cheaper prices than in Melbourne and to the city’s excellent schools. Meanwhile, areas near the new Wendouree station are being marketed into Melbourne - Lake Gardens, near the station, lake and golf

Local Sport Tigers show their stripes A CROWD of 9189 football fans turned up to watch Albury take out this year’s Ovens and Murray football grand final in a thriller at Lavington Oval on Sunday and to honor the young man injured in the opening round of the competition. Despite leading at every break, the Tigers finished the game just seven points ahead of the tough Yarrawonga Pigeons outfit, 13-13 (91) to 12-12 (84). AWNW Football writer and 2AY sports editor Simon Corr said it was a day of high emotion living up to everyone’s expectations especially when James McQuillan, took to the field. “The National Anthem was spine tingling and when the inspirational James McQuillan, who suffered life altering spinal damage when representing the Albury Football Club in the season’s opening round, entered the arena to be with his Tiger team mates pre-game, emotions were at an all-time high,” Simon said. “The tension of the close finish, combined with strong expectations and the presence of James McQuillan resulted in an out-pouring of emotion and joy as the Tigers embraced on the ground to celebrate a historic victory and confirmed that they are once again the Premier Football Club in the competition. “In a wonderful sporting gesture opposing players, officials and even supporters then acknowledged one another, and it was evident that the two staunchest of sporting rivals had an over-riding friendship and respect for one another. “Don’t get me wrong there was no sympathy or apologies for the defeat, but the two clubs have shared a bond this year that came on back of McQuillan’s unfortunate accident and the constant criticism they both received for their on- field dominance. “It was a great Grand Final, played between two great teams and hosted by one amazing league and if they happen to meet again next year for an amazing seventh time and deliver a bit more of the same ... . Football will still be the winner!” He said that football fans of all levels would have been more than satisfied with this year’s final, despite the presence of Yarrawonga and Albury for the seventh straight year. “The social on looker who sees the day as an event and the sport as merely a secondary by-product was well and truly catered for,” he said. “Beautiful sunny weather, a picture perfect oval, a massive crowd and entertainment galore. “The traditional parade of champions were rounded up by former Brisbane Lion champion Johnathon Brown, who brought with him the Premiership Cup and was the man who tossed the coin. “For the football purists, who gathered to watch yet another chapter in country football’s biggest rivalry, the two teams Yarrawonga and Albury delivered in spades.” And while the Tigers started favourites after their semi-final win two weeks ago, it was Yarrawonga that got off to a flyer. “The Pigeons caught both the Tigers and the large crowd at the Lavington Sports Ground off guard as they kicked the first three goals just nine minutes into the game,” Simon said.

“The Tigers responded well and held on to a four-point lead at quarter time. “The game continued to be a close encounter with immense physical pressure the overriding constant of the day. Albury relinquished the lead in the third term, but regained it shortly before three quarter time courtesy of two brilliant individual goals to Brayden O’Hara. “The Tigers then steadied the ship in the final term as they added another two, but in true Yarrawonga spirit the Pigeons rallied and threw everything at their opposition.” Simon said the Pigeons refused to give up and led by former AFL star Brendan Fevola, who kicked six for the game, put in a big display in the final quarter to almost steal the game. “They were coming like the proverbial steam train and when Brendan Fevola, marked 25 metres out from goal, stress levels of the Yellow and Black army were at an all time high,” he said. “With the time clock still an issue, Fevola proceeded to play on and hit the post with a rushed snap shot, a kick he would normally slot nine times out of 10. The margin was back to just seven points, and to Albury’s sheer relief the siren sounded just seconds later.” Albury Council was proud the city had the facilities to host such a major sporting event. “It was great to see another huge turn out for the grand final,” AlburyCity Team Leader of Events Ros Wall said. “We saw once again why the Lavington Sports Ground is the premier sporting venue in the region. “It was a great game and we were very pleased to partner with the O&M and Lavington Panthers to deliver another hugely successful grand final.” Council oversees parking and traffic management in surrounding streets, waste management, cleaning and logistical support. “The top priority however is preparing the venue and the council’s ground staff did an amazing job once again,” she said.
