Great start for refugee kids

GREAT Start Group has started again – a playgroup for local refugee children aimed at making the transition from home to school smoother for both children and parents. FOR DETAILS TURN TO PAGE 6

Jungle mission By KRYSTEN MANUEL

AFTER a local event in August that raised nearly $4000 to save the orangutans, Casey Murtagh has returned from her gruelling 25-day trek, and what a story she has to tell. Having battled exhaustion, severe humidity and a leech that delivered a mysterious water-borne infection to her femoral artery, Casey is already looking to fund-raise in Albury again thanks to her previous success. “It was a real tribute to small towns - a credit to the community,” Casey had said. “I grew up in a small town as well but there’s nowhere near the sense of community there is in Albury Wodonga - I was completely impressed!” Her upcoming fund-raising plans could even involve flying Leo Biddle, head of conservation for several rescue centres in Borneo, to Albury for a guest speaking event. “You might change someone’s life and the direction they’re going to take - that’s the exciting part,” she said. “Someone might come to a lecture and decide to volunteer for two weeks - that’s an extra $5000 that would not have come in if you hadn’t organised that lecture.” Casey personally delivered the money from the first fund-raiser as part of her participation in the Trans Borneo Challenge that started on 15 August. The program required $6000 of her own money, not to mention training, fund-raising and 900km of trekking through hot, dense forest filled with dengue fever and malaria carrying bugs and mosquitoes - all to save the orangutans. “It was more of an emotional

challenge, although it was definitely physically challenging,” she said. “The emotions of being in a developing country, the logistics - it was extremely difficult to get from A to B, the challenges that were faced in the jungle - being constantly damp, carrying a heavy, wet bag, leeches, bee-stings, wasps, fire ants and then surviving on micro-sleep. “The exposure you feel within that environment was very challenging for me. The largest predator in Borneo is the Bornean leopard, but it’s not the big predators you’re worried about, more the smaller things that are really going to give you a nasty bite. “I ended up getting some mystery water-borne parasite that infected my femoral artery in my left leg from a leech. The lymph glands in my groin were huge and it caused a severe amount of pain. The femoral artery almost looked like it had burst down my left leg, so I had to head to hospital with a course of antibiotics and a few other concoctions, but I seem to have fixed that all up. “Everyone was quite lucky not to get seriously injured or sick because it would have been incredibly hard to get access to medical facilities for a large chunk of the trip.” The group started the trek at the International Animal Rescue Centre in West Kalimantan, where Orangutan Odysseys gave the majority of funds raised to the orangutan project. “It was great to physically see the centre which is still in its building stages,” Casey said. “It’s good to know where our money is being spent and how important it is for the continuation of fund-raising for orangutan conservation.” Continued on page 6

There are only between 5000 and 7000 Sumatran orangutans left.

Editorial For love of others GENERALLY, when an event catering to minorities is organised, you would expect the organiser to be part of that minority. Readers may be pleasantly surprised to find that Alburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Equal Love Rally, successfully held last weekend in QEII Square for the second time, was thought up and run by heterosexual woman, Rhiannon Konigson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m known after the last rally as hetrosexual-Rhiannon,â&#x20AC;? she joked. What a testament to the Border to have an individual at the helm of an event thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invaluable to the gay, lesbian and bisexual community for networking, social support and sexual health. Ms Konigson started the group in response to the negative attitude some of her gay friends were receiving, but said both rallies had received a positive response and were particularly beneficial for participants. It seems somewhat more powerful when someone who isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personally affected by negative attitudes stands up for those who are - hopefully the Border will see more people advocating for others like Ms Konigson.

MUCH to the disappointment of summer thrillseekers, installation of safety screens on Union Bridge will start next month. The NSW Government is providing $900,000 to install safety screens which aim to reduce the risk of injuries from people jumping off the bridge into the Murray River and endangering other road users. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roads and Maritime Services fast-tracked the improvements to the bridge on the old Hume Highway near Oddies Creek Park to ensure community safety after representations from myself, Albury Council and NSW Police,â&#x20AC;? member for Albury Mr Greg Aplin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People continue this dangerous activity, sometimes running across the northbound traffic lanes to jump the pedestrian railing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an accident waiting to happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The safety screens aim to improve safety for motorists travelling from Albury and Wodonga needing to avoid people running across the lanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roads and Maritime carried out community consultation last year on the safety upgrade with stakeholder feedback considered in selecting the screen design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A heritage and visual impact assessment of the existing bridge and surrounds was also carried out as part of the work,â&#x20AC;? Mr Aplin said. Work to install the screens is scheduled to start on 1 November and be completed by mid-Decem-

Stop nets $7m drugs haul By KRYSTEN MANUEL AFTER an estimated $7 million worth of ephedrine was seized during a traffic stop at Mullengandra in August, two men are due to appear in court later this month. Police stopped the hire car on the

Hume Highway approximately 35 kilometres north of Albury due to a traffic incident shortly before 11pm on Thursday, 15 August. Police will allege that when the vehicle was searched they located a substance which proved to be ephedrine, and later estimated its potential

street value at $7 million. Police also seized almost $2000 in cash, four mobile phones and drug paraphernalia. Two men were arrested and charged. A man, 29, from Eagle Vale was charged with five offences; supplying a large commercial quantity of a

prohibited drug, two counts of possession of equipment for administering a prohibited drug, dealing with property suspected to be the proceeds of crime, and possessing a prohibited drug. A second man, 32, from Chester Hill, was charged with four offences; supplying a large commercial quan-

tity of a prohibited drug, dealing with property suspected to be the proceeds of crime, goods in personal custody suspected of being stolen and possessing a prohibited drug. Both men were granted conditional bail to appear in Albury Local Court on 22 October.

Men’s health barbecue By KRYSTEN MANUEL THE Big Aussie Barbecue is coming up in support of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and is shaping up to be a fantastic event. But it’s also a great reminder to support our local prostate cancer support group. “It’s a bit of a hard flog when you try to convince men to look after their health,” Albury Wodonga Prostate Cancer Support Group president David Ryan said. “It’s a big job and the more support we get from the community in general, the better we can share the load. “It’s very hard for us to get men to sit down and face the reality that their health is important. Men are pretty stubborn mules and you have to push them rather than wait for them to come on board themselves. “The Albury Wodonga Prostate Cancer Support Group is a great group of people and we’ll keep persevering no matter what, but the more help we can get from the broader community the better.” Mr Ryan is a prostate cancer survivor himself and had a radical prostatectomy five years ago. Since then, Mr Ryan has been on the bandwagon to both get the word out to local men

not to leave it too late, as well as offer support for those who are suffering. “I’m one of the lucky ones, it was detected early and I’ve had no side effects. Our group is made up of men who have had all sorts of side effects from prostate cancer, they’ve all had different treatments and such, so we have a pretty broad base to work from with regard to working with other men who are about to go through operations and the rehabilitation that follows.” The Great Aussie Barbie is an Australian-wide event by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia to raise awareness and much-needed funds for research into prostate cancer and why it is such a prevalent disease. Held at the Kinross Woolshed on Friday 25 October, the Big Aussie Barbie offers quality raffles with prizes including tickets to Grease The Musical courtesy of Martin’s Travel, as well as entertainment by Danny Phegan and special guest speaker David Parkin OAM. Mr Parkin’s experience as an educator, VFL/ AFL coach and his personal history has placed him in an ideal position to talk to men about prostate cancer. A four-time premiership coach,

David Parkin OAM is the guest speaker at the Border’s Big Aussie Barbie to raise money and support for prostate cancer. Mr Parkin was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame in 2002 - always a good ice-breaker for the boys. His own health story began with his grandfather who died a painful and protracted death from prostate cancer. His father suffered prostate cancer as well, which painfully spread to the pelvis and spine.

With this information, Mr Parkin began having an annual prostate check, blood test for the prostate specific antigen and digital rectal exam from the age of 40. From 60, Mr Parkin had the check done twice a year which ended up showing a lump resulting in a prostatectomy.

The Big Aussie Barbie is on Friday 25 October at the Kinross Woolshed from 12-3pm. Visit Bendigo Bank in Albury, Lavington or Wodonga for tickets ($100). To support or receive support from Albury Wodonga Prostate Cancer Support Group, call David Ryan on 0407 691 636.

Love of equality By KRYSTEN MANUEL

LAY-BY

NOW

THE second annual Equal Love Rally was warmly welcomed again by the Border last Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was more successful in the way that you could tell people were a bit more confident to turn up and engage themselves,â&#x20AC;? organiser Rhiannon Konigson said. The rally included a myriad of stalls including forget-me-not cupcakes, ACON for sexual health and safe sex, Hume Phoenix and Way Out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People in rural communities are feeling the effects of homophobia which is quite sad,â&#x20AC;? Ms Konigson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing I found with doing the rally is that people were deciding to come out - they felt a lot more comfortable, they made a lot of friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the political side - maybe the government will take note, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely that community vibe to the whole thing where young and old can feel like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little safe haven for them.â&#x20AC;? Ms Konigson began the rally last year after a chance discussion with a friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My friend Evan and I were speaking

Joel Krautz, Karem McMillian, Aimee Oakley, Anna Konieczny, Rhiannon Konigson, Sheridan Williams and Mark Green. on the phone and saying how it would have been lovely to go to one of the Melbourne rallies,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said it would be so much easier to have one in Albury because I could just go to that without having to travel and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we started calling people and we started it together, then we made our committee.â&#x20AC;? Ms Konigson herself is heterosexual,

but is passionate about opening doors for local gay and lesbian people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of gay friends who have gone down the street and been called names and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the most beautiful people,â&#x20AC;? Ms Konigson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why someone would want to speak to somebody like that, I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it. It annoyed me so much to see people suffering at the hands of bullies.â&#x20AC;?

And miles of smiles By KRYSTEN MANUEL IT WAS healthy smiles all around for the children at Glenroy Public School last week thanks to a visit from Carevan. Armed with healthy food, dentistry students from Charles Sturt University (CSU), some toothy puppets and even an appearance from Dr Brushwell, the entire school learnt about the importance of healthy teeth and received a fluoride varnish with the new Sun Smiles Program. The $10,000 program was made possible with a grant from Albury Rotary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first school in NSW to have the program,â&#x20AC;? Sun Smiles Program manager Catherine Carboon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the morning we go to classrooms with the children and teach them how to brush, enforce the value of using fluoride toothpaste, looking at oral hygiene practices and giving them a better awareness of the importance of that for their general health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Carevan then arrives and

Lemuel Lee, Dr Brushwell (Alex Robertson), Eddy Wells, Mike Azer, Clarence Da Cruz, Adelle Gormly, Campbell McTernan, Samara Sergi, Adam Owens, Lachlan Coates, Rylee Pontt and Soraya Doubleday enjoy the Sun Smiles Program. the kids get to look at healthy eating with fruit and cheese platters and a milk drink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the afternoon we have a program where all children are able to have a free dental screening which helps us identify and prioritise children that may need future dental care.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most exciting thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is putting fluoride varnish on the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teeth. We simply paint it on - it has a nice banana bubblegum flavour - it stays on the teeth overnight and the children brush it off the next morning. It delivers a lot of fluoride into the tooth to strengthen the teeth. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of early

decay in the tooth it can actually re-mineralise and strengthen, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also good for preventing decay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know from research if we can put the fluoride varnish on twice a year we can reduce the amount of decay by about 30 - 40 per cent.â&#x20AC;? And that is exactly what the Sun Smiles Program intends to do. Carevan will be back at Glenroy Public School in just six months time to re-apply the varnish and remind students of the importance of healthy teeth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite holistic because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just looking at teeth, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about healthy eating and the importance of their teeth to their speech, so it really compliments what the school already has in place,â&#x20AC;? Ms Carboon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glenroy Public School has a breakfast plan that we hope to introduce a tooth-brushing program into, because if kids have great teeth, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling healthy and not in pain, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning better.â&#x20AC;?

Great start for refugee kids By KRYSTEN MANUEL BORDER refugee children looking at starting school next year are invited to Great Start Group - a playgroup for local refugee children aimed at smoothing out the transition from home to school. Great Start Group is part of a program called Beginning School Well and is run in various places throughout NSW. “It gives the children an experience of play because a lot of them haven’t had that opportunity, and their play might also be very different from what we do here - if you’ve grown up in a refugee camp you wouldn’t have all the toys or equipment we do,” Lavington Public School ESL teacher Vicki Newman said. “We received funding because we have quite a few refugees in this area and the idea is to help their transition to school be a more positive experience and to help strengthen those cultural links between the

families and the school. “It was really successful last year. There were mainly Bhutanese children because they’re our main refugee group in Albury. “The parents come along with the children and play, we had different arts and crafts, an animal nursery, and we had people available so the parents could find out about other agencies in the community as well including dental and road safety. “The kindergarten teachers came to the playgroup to say hello so the students and parents got to meet them. “I also did some things with literacy with the parents - I showed them how to do home reading and if they couldn’t read in English we encourage them to maintain their first language but still talk to the child about the book in their first language so they’re still building comprehension. The group was composed of 11 families, including toddlers

right up to those starting school this year. This year, Ms Newman is expecting a larger crowd, with 16 families having signed up already thanks to last year’s success. “Those children were happier coming into school and they felt more relaxed and comfortable,” she said. “When they come into school, if you feel happy and a connection with the school, it’s easier to start learning. If you come in very anxious and worried, you can’t learn.” The playgroup is still taking numbers, but children must be refugees or have had a refugeelike experience to participate. The group meets on Mondays - 21 October, 28 October, 4 November, 11 November, 18 November and 25 November from 10am - 12pm at Lavington East Public School. Albury North Public School are also running a playgroup Monday afternoons.

The transition for Govinda Sapkota and Kritika Poudel was a lot smoother thanks to the Great Start Group.

“It’s a country very rich in natural resources, same as Australia, and the land has just been raped for its natural resources at an incredible rate, and that’s to the demise of the wild species over there.” Casey has been offered a 12-month volunteer position in Borneo, but is keeping her

options open - still co-ordinating events, applying for jobs within the not-for-profit sector and applying for university courses in relation to conservation biology. “For me, it’s easy, it’s a passion. You can do anything when you’re passionate, nothing seems like work,” she said. 1096637-HM42-13

The stories reveal the powerful inﬂuence of both family and place in their decision making. The talk also highlights the role of education in enabling young people to reach their goals.

Professor Wyn’s talk draws on her recent book about young people who have built their lives in rural and regional communities. The book is based on stories of individuals who left secondary school in 1991 and provides a 20-year view of the hopes, challenges and achievements of this generation. In our increasingly urbanised society, urban-based lives have come to be seen as the standard and it is all too common for

Schools up in lights COROWA South Public School and St Mary’s Primary School will receive flashing lights under the next NSW Government rollout to increase school zone pedestrian safety. Member for Albury Greg Aplin said the NSW Government was delivering on its commitment to ensure every school in the state would have a set of flashing lights by December 2015. “I’m delighted Corowa South Public School and St Mary’s Primary School will receive flashing lights as they provide extra road safety by slowing motorists down around our children and school communities,” he said. “School zone flashing lights alert drivers they are entering a 40 km/h school zone and to slow down, reducing the risk of a crash or the severity of a crash if it occurs. “Children can be unpredictable and do not always act safely around traffic. They may also take risks in the traffic environment without realising they are doing so.

“Put simply, flashing lights make the roads around our schools safer.” The State Budget increased funding for the flashing lights program from $19.5 million to $32.5 million - meaning an additional 1500 schools will get lights by December 2015 that otherwise would have missed out. Last financial year, 280 sets of flashing lights were installed, the largest number ever installed in a single financial year. “Flashing lights will be installed on Hume Street and Federation Avenue in Corowa and will operate automatically when school zone speed limits are in force on gazetted school days, increasing motorists’ awareness of school zones,” Mr Aplin said. Trials found flashing lights helped to slow motorists by an average of seven kilometres an hour when they entered a school zone. Roads and Maritime Services will consult with local residents and schools about the timing for the installation of the lights.

Cash for the circus ALBURYCITY will receive $12,350 from the NSW Government for circus performer, Stuart Christie, to create and present a contemporary vaudeville event - A Little Bit of Shhh, in Albury LibraryMuseum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is vitally important that we support the development of new creative events in our community,â&#x20AC;? Member for Albury Greg Aplin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Albury is a city that is proud of its circus tradition - as home to the wonderful Flying Fruit Fly Circus - and it is great to be able to help bring other circus events into our midst.â&#x20AC;? In A Little Bit of Shhh three circus performers will transform a library space into a contemporary performance venue to entertain with skilled physical theatre.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NSW Government has set a target under the NSW 2021 strategic plan to increase participation in arts and cultural activities in rural and regional NSW by 10 per cent from 2010 to 2016,â&#x20AC;? Mr Aplin said. AlburyCity is one of 62 arts and cultural organisations across the state to be awarded funding for its annual program in 2014. Minister for the Arts, George Souris, said NSW Government support for new arts and cultural projects across the state would encourage participation in a wealth of arts and cultural activities including dance, music, theatre, writing, visual arts, as well as work that crosses over a range of artforms.

IN SUPPORT of CanTeenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Bandanna Day, Wendys Lavington is offering customers the chance to win a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply of Wendys â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ice cream by taking the best photo of their dog wearing a CanTeen bandanna. The promotion will run throughout October in support of CanTeenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Bandanna Day on October 18. As with previous years, the store will once again be supporting CanTeen by selling bandannas to help raise awareness and funds for young people living with cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved with CanTeen for many years and getting behind National Bandanna Day has always been a big part of our support,â&#x20AC;? Wendys Lavington owner Brendan Hynes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we thought we would encourage the local community to get behind this cause by giving people another idea of how the bandannas can be worn - we think our Wendysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mascot Ace looks

By doing so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be making a difference for young Australians living with cancer - something no young person should have to face alone.â&#x20AC;? With the help and funds raised on National Bandanna Day, now in its 19th year, CanTeen will continue to provide specialist services to help young people cope with the physical, emotional and practical impact of living with cancer.

Mother and Son in theatre AN OLD television favourite, Mother and Son, will entertain crowds at The Cube Wodonga from October 31 to November 3. Staged by the Albury Wodonga Theatre Company, the hilarious performance is one of the last events on the calendar for the City of Wodonga Senior Celebrations 2013. The script comprises three episodes from the multiple Logie Award-winning Australian television sitcom, Mother and Son, produced by the ABC from 1984 to 1994. The original show starred Ruth Cracknell, Garry McDonald, Henri Szeps and Judy Morris. It was created and written by Geoffrey Atherden. The plot of Mother and Son addresses the problems of ageing and caring for an elderly parent with an often sharp-edged humour which carried with it a tinge of sadness. Despite its unlikely subject matter for a comedy, the show was a favourite with audiences. Maggie and Arthur’s relationship was presented with a fascinating complexity. Rehearsals for the local production began on August 4 and the nine-member cast has developed a close working relationship. Taking on the roles of Maggie Beare (the mother) and Arthur Beare (the son) are wellknown local actors Jenny Cartledge and Leon Walsh. Peter Uniacke is portraying Robert Beare and Katherine Chamberlain is Liz Beare. Other cast members are George Pender, Peta McGrath, Maria Aivaliotis, Joseph Thomsen and Judy Walsh. The cast is in the capable hands of director, Lorraine Monshing, who has previously directed a production of Mother and Son for Wangaratta Players. The show will be held at 7.30pm on Thursday, 31 October, Friday, 1 November and Saturday, 2 November.

Leon Walsh and Jenny Cartledge play the main characters in a local production of Mother and Son. It will also take place at 2pm on Saturday, 2 November and Sunday, 3 November. Cost for senior citizens is $20. Bookings are required on (02) 6022 9311, in person at The Cube Wodonga or online at thecubewodonga.com.au The City of Wodonga Senior Celebrations are being held throughout the month of October with a wide range of activities including concerts, movies, bus tours, shopping and sport.

Letters Get to work now

I WAS intrigued to read the article in the Border Mail (12 October) that the new Indi MP’s office would be opening for business on Monday, 14 October. However, Cathy McGowan advised that “even though the office was opening she would not be able to fully immerse herself in the role until next year”. This is preposterous from someone whose campaign claim was to fix the rail by Christmas. In a taxpayer funded position of nearly $200,000 per annum, to suggest you won’t be able to properly do your job for another three months is outrageous. ENID Donadio, FREEBURGH.

Life experience

RE: LETTER to the Editor “Voice of experience” (NewsWeekly, 2 October). Dr McGowan’s assertions in her article that the pro-Life and pro-women’s health, “women protesters” standing outside the fertility clinic in Englehardt Street, who offer alternatives to women seeking termination of their pregnancy “are non-experts with outdated, biased and irrelevant statistics,” again her assertions are inaccurate and offensive. In response to Dr McGowan’s letter “Voice of experience” on this page (NewsWeekly, October 2,) I wish to have the right of reply in the form of the following article from a colleague of mine, which your readers have the right to read. I’m sure Dr McGowan will recognise Anne Lastman’s expert qualifications in the area under discussion in your paper. Yours sincerely, MICHAEL T. O’Callaghan, JINDERA.

Abortion pain

IN RECENT comments on media services the term Abortion, a Fact of Life was flouted. How tragic that the intentional killing of in utero children by their own parents is something to be demanded as a right and as a fact of life. And further how tragic that those celebrating this “fact of life” do not make themselves available to these same mothers who then go on to regret

and grieve for their loss and the decision made under duress. Loud voices in pro-abortion advocacy lead the demands for more participants to this way of thinking and there has been comment that very real concerns exist that the experiences of women who sought and had abortions were not heard. Yet I would suggest that the concerns of women who wanted to have abortion on demand were well catered for when the abortion laws were changed in 2008 opening the doors wide to abortion to full term, that is 40 weeks gestation. This seems to say to me that their voices were indeed very much heard but the only voices left unheard were those who have wept and continue to weep behind closed doors over their decision. It appears to me that the only voices unheard were those who have suffered grief, trauma, regret, shame and who cannot reconcile their decision with their innermost being. These are the voices which are unheard and not those whose “real concerns” are not being heard. The greater tragedy is the reality that proabortion advocates refuse to recognise studies which clearly indicate that abortion is not a procedure which leaves the woman unscathed but very much wounded (see Coleman Study 2011 enormous increased risks in all psychological domains, and two recent Chinese studies 2012 and many studies linking abortion and breast cancer.) It seems that the pro-abortion supporters are not particularly interested in the pain of women who hurt, so long as the killing of the children is made available and passed off as a guilt-free procedure. How tragic that the mental health of all women is not important. Including the mental health of those who suffer as a result of the procedure which promised them an easy way out of a difficult situation and having an abortion because of perceived lack of genuine alternatives which would be good both for the mother and her unexpected/unintended pregnancy. It appears to me, as a long-term post-abortion grief counsellor, that there is little interest in hearing the voices of women who suffer lifelong grief and regret, like me and tens of thousands like me. It seems that is it OUR voices which are not heard over the chaotic clamour made by pro-abortion advocates. ANNE Lastman, (BA Psy/Rel Stds) Dip Edu. MTS., M.Rel Ed., Counsellor MACA.

Be smarter with medicine BE MedicineWise Week is on again from 14-20 October and this year will highlight how older Australians can get wiser about their health and their medicines. Now in its third year, Be MedicineWise Week reminds Australians about the importance of understanding the medicines they take and how to manage their medicines better. NPS MedicineWise clinical advisor, Dr Andrew Boyden, says focusing on the health of Australia’s ageing population is particularly important because often as we age, we need to increase the number of medicines we take - and we need to take them safely and wisely. “Australia’s ageing population will have significant impacts on our health and aged care systems; but on a more personal level, getting older can mean significant changes to the way we think about our health and manage our medicines,” he said. “Chronic health issues become more common with age so people typically find themselves taking more medicines as they get older. And while medicines are intended to keep us healthy, taking multiple medicines can be challenging and could lead to serious problems if we don’t manage them properly. “It’s also important to re-

Be medicinewise week encourages people to familiarise themselves with and manage their medicines better. member that as we age, medicines may start to work differently in our bodies. Being medicinewise means keeping track of both the intended and unintended effects of the medicines we take and maintaining good communication with our health professionals.” In the National Census of Medicines Use in Australia, NPS MedicineWise found that approximately 43 per cent of people aged 50 or older had taken five or more medicines in the previous day. The same was true of almost 50 per cent of people aged 65-74, and two out of every three people aged 75 years or older. “At last count, more than five

and a half million Australians were 55 or older and the average Australian was approaching their 40th birthday. “This Be Medicinewise Week we’re providing the tools and information people need to help them get the most out of their medicines and be medicinewise.” During Be Medicinewise Week in October, NPS MedicineWise will release new findings about older Australians’ attitudes and behaviours when it comes to taking medicines. During the week, they will encourage people to take a daily medicinewise challenge and access a range of online resources.

Cate Dyde, Judy Briggs, Stephanie Lamfranchi, Kate Oates and Annette Walkerden (pharmacist) at Elmwood Medical Centre know the value of home medication reviews.

Helping you to be wise By KRYSTEN MANUEL ELMWOOD Medical Centre has hit the nail on the head when it comes to Be Medicinewise Week with home medication reviews. A Medicare initiative, home medication reviews are available annually to any person who takes five or more medications or has difficulty managing their medications. Elmwood bulk bill and have a convenient pharmacy on site. “The home medication review involves the doctor and the pharmacist liaising together to ensure that the patient is up to date and taking the correct

medications,” Elmwood Medical Centre practice manager Kate Oates said. “They come and see the doctor who writes a referral to our pharmacist, Annette Walkerden. “Ms Walkerden contacts the patient and makes an appointment to go out and visit them. She talks to them about their medications - what they take when, how they’re going with it, how the medications are being kept as some things need to be kept in the fridge or in the dark. “Once Ms Walkerden has visited the patient they will report back to the doctor. The doctor requests the patient

comes back in to discuss if there is any follow up from the visit. “It might mean a change to a medication if something wasn’t working particularly well.” Elmwood Pharmacy also offers Webster-paks for patients for just $5 a week. “The pharmacy can pack two weeks’ worth of your medication into a convenient box that guides you to take the correct tablets on the correct day of the week, and time of day,” Mrs Oates said. “Patients with a Webster-pak would still need semi-regular appointments with their doctor to maintain their medications.”

The right medicine, always By KRYSTEN MANUEL WHEN being ‘medicinewise,’ an important role in the medical field is that of a pain management clinical nurse specialist, like Pamela Goldspink at Albury Wodonga Private Hospital (AWPH). The role includes patient education, constructing time medication management profiles and advising on medication reduction. “One of my main roles within the pain management service is patient education,” Ms Goldspink said. “I work as a patient advocate to ensure their pain is managed adequately. “Patient education is a lot about what medications work well together, adding additional medications and educating on the right time to take medication, so I will often do a time management profile for them - particularly helpful for older patients”. “We also talk about medication reduction - reducing medications adequately and at an appropriate time, and advising them to follow up with their GP after their discharge. “I also give patients information on disposing of medications correctly and advise them to return any unused medications to their pharmacy.” Ms Goldspink’s role is crucial at AWPH, which is a surgical, medical and psychiatric private hospital, offering both inpatient and day patient services. The hospital has six operating the-

AWPH also has a Cardiac Cath-

eterisation Laboratory which performs interventional cardiac procedures. This enables non-acute cardiology to be carried out locally rather than having patients travel long distances to capital cities.

Also owned and operated by Ramsay Health Care is Murray Valley Private Hospital (MVPH). This uniquely designed hospital provides rehabilitation services, day patient and inpatient oncology and a sleep disorder unit.

Both AWPH and MVPH are among the top regional private hospitals in Australia and both facilities provide quality and supportive health care services for their patients, ensuring that they have a positive experience and successful outcome of care.

The Border’s One-Stop Bulk Billing Medical Centre Elmwood has both male and female full-time GPs, who are all taking new patients.

WITH all the media dos and don’ts floating around the C-word, you can count on exercise as a sure thing to lower your risk of cancer. “Evidence shows that 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity per day significantly reduces the risk of breast cancer,” said a report written by the World Health Organisation. So why not start now with Fernwood’s latest offer - 14 days’ gym access for just $20, with all funds going towards the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Studies have also shown strenuous exercise through adolescent years and constant exercise throughout life will also reduce the risk of women getting cancer. One study concluded that women who exercised moderately after a diagnosis of breast cancer, had improved survival rates compared with more sedentary women. “All our personal trainers are fully qualified and can help women achieve their health and fitness goals,” Fernwood Albury owner Ann Wilkesmann said.

their confidence back. “It’s really nice to see ladies walk out with renewed confidence, their head up, looking excited with the way they feel and look - it’s very rewarding.” House of Lingerie is a finalist

in three categories in the Albury Wodonga Chamber of Commerce business awards - excellence in retail, contribution to community and excellence in health and wellness. House of Lingerie is located in Suite 7/1 Stanley Street, Wodonga. Call 02 6056 9536 for details.

BJ Campbell and Grace McEwan are just two of the many friendly faces to help you achieve your fitness goals at Fernwood.

FOR women who have been touched by breast cancer, House of Lingerie is your local accredited fitting specialist for Amoena breast forms. At a time when you need it most, you can expect high quality products with private, personalised and gentle service from owner and operator, Anne Lafferty. “In 2006 I opened House of Lingerie and after trading for a while realised there was a niche in the market. “That niche, which was not being attended to by any small, intimate boutique was prosthesis fittings,” Ms Lafferty said. “There wasn’t that intimate, personal environment available. So about two years after my business was established, I travelled to Sydney to train in prosthesis fitting with Amoena. “Amoena is the world leader in breast care, with a range that spans breast symmetry products. Its mission is to improve women’s quality of life after breast surgery and to be a companion throughout their life’s journey.” Amoena’s founder, Cornelius Rechenberg, set out to develop a breast form as natural as a real breast. Amoena’s bras are specially designed to combine comfort and good looks with the security you need following breast surgery. It doesn’t take long to find out whether you’ve got the perfect fit it just takes a little know-how.

WITH a beautiful new women’s wellness centre, state-of-the-art technology and seamless client care, the X-Ray Group at The Gardens Albury have taken the pain, inconvenience and uncomfortableness out of women’s cancer prevention. “Our level six expansion is brand new,” The X-Ray Group general manager Wayne Ashton said. “We’ve put in a new 3T MRI, expanded CT with a new 256 slice Philips CT and nuclear medicine services, but we’ve also developed a well-women’s centre which includes one of the only direct digital mammography systems between Canberra and Melbourne, a bone-densitometry system and ultrasound targeting women’s

imaging,” Mr Ashton said. The women’s wellness centre was deliberately built away from other services in a bid to make what can sometimes be a stressful, uncomfortable process as easy as possible. On top of this, only women work in this area, which has been very well received. “It’s to give the women a bit more comfort and privacy, and make the whole experience a little bit nicer and it’s turned out beautifully,” Mr Ashton said. “Zauner’s done a fantastic job with the building as well, it’s really the medical precinct of Albury now. The parking is great and the position is great it’s not far from the main street, easy to find, all roads lead to this spot - it’s a one-stop-shop medically.”

Vicki Hodgson, Rita Otto and Vera Craik of Wodonga Real Estate actively support Pink Ribbon Day. not fully realised until someone has come through the other side. The high cost of treatments, time off work and travel can send families to financial ruin. However, the real backbone of financial assistance for cancer sufferers stems from fundraising. With so many selfless people donating and organising fund-raisers, women with cancer can be comforted in knowing they are not alone - financially or otherwise. Like many groups in Al-

bury/Wodonga, the women of Wodonga Real Estate are doing their bit. Last year the team held a Girls Night In party, but this year, staff will be showing their support by attending a number of fund-raisers, as well as selling Pink Ribbon merchandise. “You cannot let the side down,” Wodonga Real Estate owner Vicki Hodgson said “You have to do all you can to support and fund that research.”

THE myriad of effects of cancer are not strictly limited to the person with the disease. Emotionally, mentally, and to some degree physically, families experience a high cost when one person is struck ill. But what about practical hardship? Sadly, Wodonga Real Estate see first-hand the devastating effects of families struck with cancer. “I worked with a lady and she found some lumps - they removed both breasts, she thought she got over it - and down the track she lost her sight and couldn’t walk,” Wodonga Real Estate’s Rita Otto said. “It was just so devastating because she was the sort of person that couldn’t do enough for everyone else. “She didn’t even reach 40. She left her daughter and husband behind. “It really got to all of us because everyone loved her and you wouldn’t think it would happen to a young person, but it did.” Be it a landlord, vendor or tenant, cancer has a massive impact financially. Sadly Wodonga Real Estate have a number of landlords, vendors and tenants who have gone through breast cancer. It affects them financially, it affects their children, relationships, even the maintenance of the house, with the impact often

Plants that make a statement PLANTS that make a statement, either as a result of clipping or have a naturally striking form, have a place in every garden, no matter what sort of style or design the gardener has adopted. They can enhance either a formal or informal design by adding constructional elements to the garden planting - the trick is to use them sparingly. Stand-out, or architectural plants, which create highlights in your garden, can be used in every way, maybe to lift an otherwise dull border with their form or interesting foliage. The shape alone might transform part of your garden, adding height and helping create the framework. They can certainly be planted to act as an individual feature plant, or else as an exclamation mark at the end of a bed, at your entrance, at the top or bottom of steps, or even to introduce a new part of the garden. Architectural plants always have a distinct, strong form and this is as important as colour. Their foliage is usually attractive as well, either its shape or the colour. Flowers are often a bonus. Plants which are evergreen with strong structure can form the backbone of your design because they are always there. This can be particularly important in a cottage garden in which many plants only flower once a year, and others are deciduous. A good idea when choosing an architectural plant for a particular spot in your garden, is to look at a black and white garden photo in which the plant features, so you can see how its form adds to the photo. You are not distracted by flowers and colour. Plants with good form stand out. Architectural plants can be perennials, shrubs or trees. Many of them come originally from drier climatic regions which is good for us! Think of many of the succulents like yuccas and agaves. Their colour, the shape of their leaves as well as the texture of the foliage allow the plants to make a

statement. Among the most often used architectural plants today are the ornamental grasses because they are softer than so many plants. Not only do they have a defined shape, but they cause plants nearby to stand out. They can be used as a uniform border too. Slender conifers are also used regularly to make a statement, especially in creating an avenue and guiding the eye towards something the gardener wants seen. \Good examples are Juniperus scopulorum â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skyrocketâ&#x20AC;?, and where a tree is required, the Italian cypress, Cupressus sempervirens.

Hedges can be an architectural feature in any garden. They can divide the garden into rooms or else create the boundary. Hedges can be formal or informal, high or low, dense or allowing a glimpse into a new area, depending which plant is chosen. Box (Buxus sempervirens) of course is one of the most popular hedging plants. It can be clipped into any shape, or to whatever height is needed. Rosemary and lavender are two popular choices for hedging too. They offer the added benefits of flowers and fragrance, especially when they are freshly clipped. For a taller hedge, yews are the traditional plant used, but they are very well-known as being very slow growers. Other conifers, such as Port Jackson pine or Leightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green cypress, are being chosen instead. Whatever the statement you want to make in the garden, and whatever size you imagine it being, there will be a suitable plant. Make sure it will be happy in the conditions which you have to offer or it will look neither healthy and happy, nor make a statement.

The Outdoor Furniture Specialists have everything you need to create ‘the best room in the house.’

Best room is outside By KRYSTEN MANUEL THE Outdoor Furniture Specialists believe the best room in the house isn’t in the house. For this reason, Paul and Jodie Richardson provide the widest range of quality outdoor furniture and accessories in the Albury/Wodonga area. As franchisees and store owners they believe every outdoor area has the potential to be the focal point of a home. “Australians enjoy living and entertaining outdoors, with more homes being built with outdoor entertaining in mind,” Ms Richardson said. “Good quality furniture is important, especially in the harsh Australian climate, in order to ensure longevity and receive value for money. “As much as any Aussie does, I love being outside for breakfast, lunch and dinner, utilising these fantastic products we offer at The Outdoor

Furniture Specialists.” And with the help of the staff at The Outdoor Furniture Specialists, you too can create the perfect entertainment area for any occasion. “It doesn’t take a lot to turn an ordinary looking outdoor area into a stylish and relaxing setting,” Ms Richardson said. Be it an intimate dinner for two, lunch for a family of five or a huge birthday celebration, there’s nowhere better to celebrate than the great Australian outdoors and you don’t necessarily need a large area to entertain. The Outdoor Furniture Specialists have options to suit any size outdoor area. This season, wicker furniture and the new teak range have been extremely popular and can be viewed in store. Mix and match chairs and tables are also available. New wicker lounge settings all have three years’ warranty and are easy to clean, requiring

just a simple hose down. Wicker lounge settings are utilised by resorts around the world thanks to their general high quality, UV protection, stability, durability, colour fast qualities and low maintenance. But when it comes to style, Mr Richardson believes that there is no ‘one fits all’ answer. “Everybody has individual tastes and style, and that is more important than what is the newest or latest fashion trend,” he said. “That’s why we give people the option to mix and match tables and chairs, so they can create their own perfect setting that reflects their lifestyle and tastes.” As the name suggests, they are the specialists - able to deliver the best advice, best quality and best price. Call into see Paul and Jodie at their Wodonga store to discuss how to create your perfect outdoor entertainment area.

and cook the eggs over low heat, stirring regularly until cooked to liking. Place eggs into the ramekins and fold smoked salmon over the edges to make a parcel. Turn parcels onto plates, remove the plastic wrap and

Audience horror-fied

By KRYSTEN MANUEL

THE gleefully gruesome cult classic Little Shop of Horrors by the Chiltern Lions Amateur Players entertained delighted crowds in Chiltern over the weekend. With a host of energetic songs and an assortment of zany characters, the show particularly spoke to those with a taste for the unusual. The story begins with down and out skid row florist assistant Seymour, who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an ex-

otic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Seymour, infatuated with his co-worker Audrey, (who insists on dating a sadistic dentist) allows his craving for fame and fortune to seduce him into feeding the man eating plant. The plant quickly grows in to an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed carnivore who offers him his secret desires ... The performance opened on 10 October and will carry through to 19 October.

Iain’s country sounds THE Iain Archibald Band is bringing their country rock sounds to Albury this month. The Iain Archibald Band comprises lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Iain Archibald, bassist Cameron Archibald, guitarist Mark Carniato and drummer Krste Stojanovski. The band released its first EP, Dirty, earlier this year, and have been celebrating its success ever since. They are regulars on the Melbourne live music scene; having played at the Forum Theatre, Federation Square and the Corner Hotel. Iain first started playing music at the age of 12, and has never looked back since. He brings his own unique style to the role of frontman, drawing the crowd in and taking them along for the ride. Iain has spent two years perfecting his live show and has built an impressive

catalogue of catchy, toe-tapping country rock songs. He has also worked with other bands, and was hired session musician for SonyBMG. Iain’s younger brother, Cameron shares his passion for music and is now the band’s bassist. He began playing music around the same time as Iain, but gave it up briefly to focus on sport. A few years later he returned to music with a vengeance, picking up a bass guitar and joining his brother’s band. Mark loved music as a child and was a keen saxophonist, who was incited to rehearse with his teacher’s big band. However, in the interests of employment, he decided to become a carpenter instead. The passion came back a few years ago when he bought a guitar for fun, and now he finds himself as the band’s guitarist.

Box office

Krste has been playing the Melbourne pub rock scene since 2006, has studied music and while completing this, worked as a drum tutor. His influences range from ’60s jazz to ’70s rock and ’80s fusion. The one and a half hour set showcases Iain’s songwriting skills, with original songs dominating the playlist. There’s something for everyone, with a few covers featured as well. The talent and energy of the Iain Archibald Band will leave you impressed and wanting more. The Iain Archibald Band will be playing the Boomerang Hotel in Lavington on 18 October at 8pm and at the Albion Hotel in Albury on 19 October and 16 November at 9pm. All gigs are free, but restricted to people over 18.

A weepie for sore eyes By KRYSTEN MANUEL MOVIE: Diana DIRECTOR: Oliver Hirschbiegel STARRING: Naomi Watts and Naveen Andrews

DURATION: 107 EVERYONE knows where they were when they heard Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in the devastating car crash in Pont de I’Alma tunnel, Paris. For my generation, we remember our mothers sobbing in front of the television, more so than the details of Diana’s life and love - just one reason why this film serves what I feel is a very worthy purpose, though critics don’t seem to concur. The story starts two years before Diana’s death. It covers her work with land mine clearing operations, the

difficulty she faced trying to see her children and the famous interview regarding her painful marriage to Prince Charles. But primarily it covers her complex love life, namely that with Dr Hasnat Kahn - a heart surgeon who could never accept the lack of privacy he would have to endure if he made his relationship with Diana public. While the story needed to be told, why start just two years before Diana’s death? Why not start from her marriage to Charles and then move into her story with Dr Kahn? I feel a great deal of detail and interest has been lost on this for the sake of turning what should have been almost a biography into another typical Hollywood romance.

However, a fellow movie-goer, who sniffed and sobbed beside me at the climax of the film, would disagree. “I just loved it, it was a winner for me all-round,” Caitlin Davey said. “I loved learning about her life and what she had to go through, and realising that love stories happen to everyone, even her - it was definitely relatable. “I also like the way it started with the finish and then told the story from two years before that point because it keeps you thinking.” In three words? “Inspiring, educational and tragic,” she said.

SINGER-SONGWRITER, Clare Bowditch and design expert, Mark Tuckey will be keynote speakers at this year’s Bright Sparks conference in Wodonga. The conference aims to inspire and advise people seeking to enter the creative industry. A team of talented professionals will provide speeches and workshops for the participants, offering practical advice and skills they have learned from working in the industry. The conference had its inaugural event in 2012, and it was a roaring success. About 60 participants attended from all areas of the creative sector. These included graphic and fashion designers, writers, publishers and performing artists. Clare Bowditch, an ARIA award winner, has had much success turning her creative talents into a career. She is a star of the hit TV show Offspring, was Rolling Stone’s 2010 Woman of the Year and launched Big Hearted Business this year. Big Hearted Business aims to teach creative people about business, and business people about creativity. It teaches participants how to make a living from their artistic talent. Clare will provide a singing workshop at the conference, as well as her keynote address titled Sensitive Creative Types A Real Life Survival Guide. Mark Tuckey is a celebrated furniture designer and maker.

Clare Bowditch will be one of the keynote speakers at this year’s Bright Sparks conference.

He has showrooms in Sydney and Melbourne, and a homewares store on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Mark has come a long way since he started. He began with $200, a truck and some recycled timber. Now his designs are sought after. Mark’s speech is themed Turning your Passion into your Business, a feat he accomplished when he found a way to environmentally friendly creative enterprise. Presenters joining Clare and Mark at the conference include award-winning filmmaker, Helen Newman, sisters from Koolaman designs, Lisa O’Keefe and Stacey Clayton and photo media artist Joan CameronSmith. These successful professionals and other practitioners will take afternoon workshops and discussions on topics including creating business plans, social

media, partnerships and networking. Participants at last year’s event have already seen commercial success. Katherina Rattray, creator of Doodle Bug Arts, attended a one-on-one business planning session. Not only did she find the experience “incredibly inspiring” but she has since been commissioned to illustrate two new children’s books. “I would definitely encourage anyone thinking a creative business to take up this opportunity,” she said. The Bright Sparks Conference will be held 18 October at the Gateway Island, Wodonga. The day runs from 9am-4pm and costs $75, including a light lunch at La Maison and two workshops.

What the median really means

THERE are many different calculations of the median price available to the public. While having more information can be helpful, it can also be confusing. Last month, the Valuer-General released the March quarter 2013 median prices. These showed a 5.4 per cent decrease in Melbourne’s median house price. And yet the REIV recorded a 3.1 per cent increase. So why is there a difference? The answer lies in the methodology. The Valuer-General publishes the raw (original) median price, while the REIV publishes a seasonally adjusted median price. Both are valid calculations and show a different aspect of the market. Other data providers like the Australian Bureau of Statistics provide original, seasonally adjusted, and trend series of their data. The REIV adopted a seasonally adjusted median price to account for changes that occur periodically within the year. In general, median house prices increase in the December quarters and decrease in the March quarters. This is because there are more sales and more auctions during the December quarter. Conversely, by the March quarter,

there are fewer sales and auctions. Prices of homes sold at auction are around 50 per cent higher than others. This is because many auctions are held in the inner city, so house prices are more likely to increase in quarters where there are more auction sales. While the REIV has adopted the seasonally adjusted median price, the original and trend series are also available on our website at www.reiv.com.au

There was a decrease in the weekly house rent from $280 to $270 but rents for units remained stable at $250. Bendigo recorded a decrease in vacancy to 1.9 per cent and has the lowest vacancy of the key regional centres. There was an increase in the weekly house rent from $281 to $301 per week although there are monthly fluctuations. Other towns also recorded decreases in vacancy.

Vacancies stay tight THE vacancy rate for regional Victoria decreased in September 2013, marking the fourth consecutive month of decreases.

The weekly rent increased from $290 to $300 for houses and from $240 to $250 for units. While there was a decrease in vacancy throughout the region, two of the three key regional centres Ballarat and Geelong - recorded increases. Geelong continues to have the highest vacancy rate of the key regional centres. The vacancy rate increased from 4.7 per cent to 4.9 per cent.

Lifestyle blocks near lake

MANY people regard living out of town on a few acres as their great Australian Dream - a place where kids can run free, they can build a nice home, dad can enjoy a shed and generally one can live a reasonably unrestricted lifestyle. Throw in gently undulating land plus some blocks with a view to Lake Hume, as is now available, and Bay Creek Lifestyle development at Tallangatta ticks so many of the boxes. An auxiliary benefit is the fact the township is close enough for the older children to ride their bikes to one of the three schools in town while mum or dad have got a pleasant 25-minute drive to Albury or Wodonga for work. All blocks have new or near-new boundary fencing, entrances and driveways have been created while power is either at the boundary or runs through

the properties. Water will be by catchment into tanks. Interest in the blocks has been great to date with contracts issued on several of the blocks for which titles are expected to be issued either just before or just after New Year. The blocks as mentioned are close to Tallangatta on the western side of town off the Murray Valley Highway about a kilometre along Hardy Road. Block sizes range in the 2.4-2.55 hectares that is 10-11 acres in the old scale and are large enough for a horse or any other animal to be housed on the property. Recreationally, with the lake brimming at the moment one is very close to launch the boat and maybe catch a fish or plenty of room to design and lay out your own garden. Tallangatta offers so much in the way

of sporting facilities with football, netball, hockey, swimming, tennis and lawn bowls, to mention a few. A new sports complex is under construction and will be ready for occupation by a multitude of sporting and cultural groups in the middle of next year. It is also an active community with regular events in the town such as the Fifties Festival that takes place in the next week or so which attracts rock and roll stars from that music’s golden age. There are also many very active service and social groups in the town as well as a friendly shopping centre with supermarket, renowned bakery, butchery, chemist and a host of other shops such as the community op shop. Tallangatta is widely regarded as a centre for excellence in aged care facilities, with an adjoining hospital.

Velocity speeds up By KRYSTEN MANUEL WHILE athletes across the Border are just starting to warm up for the athletics season, Team Velocity simply hasn’t stopped - and it’s paying off. Coach Ken Little’s athletes from primary school age right through to masters are hungrily eating up their competition, with Sam and Abbie Little making their mark at the Buffalo Sports NSW All Schools Championships last weekend. Sam, 17, walked away with a silver in the 400m and a personal best time of 57.18, qualifying to represent NSW in the 400m and 4x400m relay at the Australian All Schools Championships (AASC) in Townsville in December. This is the second time Sam will compete at the AASC, having competed in Year 7. “I think she’s running really well at the moment,” Ken said. “She’s down to 57.18, but we’re hoping by December she will be running 55 seconds, which will make her very competitive nationwide, probably in the top three in Australia.” Sam’s sister Abbie is also proving to be a threat on a national

Abbie Little took home bronze in the pole vault at the Buffalo Sports NSW All Schools Championships last weekend.

level, having jumped a personal best height in pole vault at the same event, 2.70m, taking home a bronze medal. “Because she jumped higher than the 18-year-olds they look like taking her to Townsville as well,” Ken said. “Abbie also jumped well over the qualifying for the national juniors in March. “She’s represented Victoria and NSW in five different events nationally in running, throwing and jumping, so she’s pretty talented. But she’s going to concentrate on the pole vault now.” From Townsville, the girls, in addition to another three runners from Team Velocity will head to the Australian Junior Athletics Championships in March. “We actually peak for the two events - December and then again in March,” Ken said. “March is fairly important for the kids because they can then qualify for the World Juniors. “You have to qualify on times at a sanctioned event for March.” The next competition for the girls will be the Victorian Schools Athletics Championships from 25 October. Competing with them from Team Velocity will be Mathias Eversheim, Victoria MacKenzie and Jason Young. And the primary school athletes are also proving themselves with 10 athletes through to the next round this Friday - the North East Regional Championships. Finally, in the masters category, Donna Burgess and Rachel Little are continuing their winning streak since taking home four gold and two silvers in the 2013 World Masters Games in Italy in August. The pair competed in the Australian Masters in Geelong two weeks ago, with Rachel taking out the 100m, 200m and 400m in the 45 age group.

Records broken By KRYSTEN MANUEL

THE Albury Wodonga Triathlon Club has had a flying start to the season with Sunday’s Allan’s Flat duathlon seeing two records smashed. Mount Beauty Triathlete Cassandra Richardson, 13, beat the previous record for the three-kilometre run, six-kilometre ride and three-kilometre run by a staggering two minutes, coming away with a time of 54 minutes, 46 seconds. Following her was Sarah Kilner and Ella MacLean came in third. Heading up the men was Chris Moscher with a time of 44 minutes, 18 seconds, followed by Nathan Rodgers in second and Josh Roy in third. Joanne Deacon also smashed a record - her own record that is - by nine seconds in the overfifties age groups, and Peter MacLean broke a record in the over-fifties men’s group. Club president Chris Westwood said the duathlon events were ideal for anyone curious about the sport. “We’d encourage anyone who wants to give triathlon a go to join in,” he said. “You don’t need a fancy bike, just one that’s in working order, a helmet and some runners.” The club will return to Allan’s Flat for another duathlon in two weeks.
