The initiative was a team collaboration between Carevan and the new Wodonga business Marina Radiology, which used its opening night to treat local doctors and guests to a slightly unusual celebration.

Wheels are turnin’ for a cause OVER 600 cyclists and more than a thousand wheels travelled along the mighty Lake Hume over the weekend to raise funds as part of
the Lake Hume Cycle Challenge. With winding roads, steep ascents, and scenic distances to conquer, it was a challenge well met
by the participants who raised over $25,000 for the region’s Cancer Wellness Centre. For all the details, see Page 23.
NEW charity bin regulations in Wodonga has seen the volume of donations to Aware Industries’ new clothing recycling service drop by more than half. Wodonga Council is tackling the problem of illegal dumping by relocating charity bins to private property with better surveillance and security, however the impact is being felt by the team at Aware. The business’s new recycling service that sees workers collect and process unwanted clothing and household goods relies primarily on donations from the public. Workers are involved in checking the bins daily for goods, before sending them to Southern Cross Recycling Centre in Melbourne to be diverted from landfill and reused at overseas’ charities. The team at Aware understand the reasons behind council’s policy, however the removal of their donation bins from public areas such as Hume Street to less-central locations on Kane Road and Moloney Drive means fewer donations to their service. The team was receiving around three tonnes of donated goods a week on the Border, but now this volume has dropped to barely one. With the business supporting 115 employees with a disability, Aware Industries CEO Sharon Muggivan is encouraging residents to help support the service. “The volume was really good and then council decided to target illegal dumping,” Ms Muggivan said. “Aware Industries is proud of the free service we now offer our community for recycling their unwanted clothing and household goods and we are seeking to work with more local businesses to gain their assistance in accessing sites to locate clothing recycling bins.” On average, every five recycling bins Aware Industries installs supports one full-time employee.

Aware Industries supported employees Adam Hanns and Neil Burke, and supported team leader Gail Reece donate goods to the business’ recycling service.135056 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE “Without the bins, it just means we have to absorb the workers into other areas and it puts more pressure on us.” The Wodonga-based business is also appealing to schools and community groups to help provide a collection service. The recycling program has been running since November, and is proving popular with the staff as well as saving tonnes of waste from landfill. “They love it,” Ms Muggivan. “You wouldn’t believe some of the toys that come through, there’s lots of laughing. “They also like getting out in the community.” In the past four months alone, Aware Industries has saved 50 tonnes of goods from going to local landfill and instead being put to use in poorer countries. Those interested in helping can phone Aware Industries on (02) 6022 8300. The business services clothing bins are available daily and keeps sites clean and graffiti-free, and includes a 24-hour call service to ensure any incidents are acted upon quickly.

Egypt art making us tents
Deputy Mayor Ross Jackson and Curator Dr Sam Bowker with the art. 134974
A RARE and spectacular artform rarely seen beyond Egypt has made its way to Albury. ‘Khayamiya’, or Egyptian tentmaker applique, will be on display until mid-April in an exhibition designed to help preserve the memory of this artform before it becomes extinct. For hundreds of years, the streets of Cairo have been transformed for public celebrations through the use of vibrant canopies and colourful screens known as ‘Khayamiya’. These intricate hand-sewn artworks adorned the spectacular travelling palaces of the Ottoman Empire. While they are still used across Egypt to host parties, weddings, feasts and funerals, this unique artform is now facing extinction as cheap printed fabrics reduce demand for authentic Khayamiya applique. According to Dr Sam Bowker, an art historian from Charles Sturt University, Khayamiya is designed to be breath-taking. “It is one of the most spectacular and littleknown forms of Islamic art, and very rarely seen beyond Egypt. “This exhibition gives this endangered art the international recognition it needs to sustain future generations of tentmakers. “One of these rare Egyptian textiles - the Syme Panel - is the first Khedival Khayamiya to be discovered in Australia, and is being displayed to the public in Albury for the first time.” Khayamiya is a free exhibition now open to the public at the LibraryMuseum, and entry is free.

In Brief Kayaker’s body found EMERGENCY crews worked around the clock at the weekend to recover the body of a kayaker from the Mitta River. Police and emergency crews were alerted to a missing 74-year-old Nagambie man about 1.30pm on Friday after his kayak capsized at Tallangatta. He was last seen attempting to swim to shore, before going under the water. The rescue mission was joined by police divers, who located the body of the kayaker at 3pm on Saturday. Emergency crews worked late into Friday night before pausing the search around 1am, and resumed searching again at 8am Saturday morning.
Police injured during fight over drug arrest THREE police officers were injured during the arrest of a man in Albury last week. About 7.15pm on Tuesday, 17 February, police attended licensed premises in Lavington after reports of alleged drug activity. Two officers searched a 53-year-old man and allegedly located prohibited drugs and cash in his possession. As police arrested the man, he became non-compliant and a third officer was called to assist. Police will allege the man’s female partner hindered police and was also arrested. As a result of the arrest, the man and the three officers all suffered lacerations. Many patrons in the licensed premises abused the officers while they were trying to effect the arrest. The man and his 29-year-old partner were conveyed to Albury Police Station where the man was charged with possessing a prohibited drug, assaulting police and resisting an officer in execution of duty. He was granted conditional bail to appear before Albury Local Court on Tuesday, 24 March. The man’s partner was charged with hindering police and was also granted bail to appear before Albury Local Court on Tuesday, 31 March.

duce sitting right on the Border’s doorstep. As Australia continues to reel over the Hepatitis A frozen berry scare and the public demands better labelling laws for the origin of their food, Mr Dunnett hopes local residents will take this opportunity to better connect with the great produce flourishing in their very own region. “It’s the reality of the global world,” he said. “Production costs are lower in China, but there are risks associated with that. “Here, people have got great choices.” With bottles of anti-bacterial
BORDER berry farmer Bob Dunnett says the greatest thing about his work is seeing people pick their own produce. “I love the fact they can come here, they can see, and they can ask about the food,” he said. “I like the whole connection between the fruit, the people, and creating a deeper understanding about the food.” Mr Dunnett, who comes from a long line of fruit farmers, has been the owner and operator of Beechworth Berries since 2000. Describing his business as more of a lifestyle, the berry fruit farmer knows all about the great local pro-
hand gel placed around the Beechworth Berries property, the staff understand the importance of good sanitation and keeping their annual 15-tonne harvest that stays directly in the local region, and their consumers, healthy and disease-free. The business, like others on the Border, also practices integrated pest management, which aims to keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce risks to human health and the environment. For consumers who aren’t keen to get hands on and pick their own food though, Mr Dunnett said there was still a great opportunity to develop a better understanding and
relationship with local producers without even having to leave the city. “The farmers markets every Saturday are a huge opportunity for people to learn more about good quality local produce,” he said. “People can go to the farmers market and ask (suppliers) about the food and increase their knowledge. “It’s sustainable for the environment, good for health reasons, and they’re being mindful of what they eat.” Will the Hepatitis A scare from frozen berries impact your buying decisions?

Salvos feed on friends By ERIN SOMERVILLE
NSW Minister for Roads and Freight Duncan Gay with Member for Albury Greg Aplin at PIcture: ERIN SOMERVILLE Wednesday's funding announcement. 135062
$11m for road repairs By ERIN SOMERVILLE AS THE manager for Lake Hume Resort, Jennifer Wiencke has seen her fair share of problems on the Riverina Highway in the area. In the eight years Ms Wiencke has been managing the resort, she has seen enough car crashes and heard enough complaints about the state of the road from her guests to advocate for an upgrade. “There have been a lot of accidents on the road,” she said. “When (Member for Albury) Greg Aplin was doing a review, he would have received quite a few emails from me.” After almost a decade out at the resort, Ms Wiencke was pleased to be on-site last week as NSW Minister for Roads and Freight Duncan Gay announced an $11 million pre-election injection for Riverina Highway works east of Albury. “It’s great news,” she said. “We have a lot more tourists travelling on the road and it will be safer for cyclists. Mr Gay made the multimillion dollar announcement on Wednesday, guaranteeing that the money was already locked in as part of the general roads and freight budget, and produced from previous leasing of public assets. “That is a sign of the times that is going to continue,” he said.
A CAFE experience might be an out-of pocket experience for some Border residents, but the Salvation Army Wodonga thinks everyone should be entitled to a good meal in a friendly setting. For the past five years, the Sal Army cafe has been keeping the community well-fed and in great company each Tuesday and Friday lunchtimes for a very affordable price. With the help of $25,000 worth of internal funding, and access to FoodShare, the cafe is now open four days a week under the guidance of parttime employee Paula Daniel, and a staff of friendly volunteers. “Customers have just loved it,” Ms Daniel said. “It’s a friendly and nonjudgemental environment and we’re very welcoming.” As well as providing a warm and nutritious meal - something the team at the Salvation Army say pension-
Volunteer Edwin Finnen, cafe supervisor Paula Daniel, and volunteers Kim Schuback and Marilyn Shelley extend their welcome to four days a week. 135057 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE ers and those in a lower socioeconomic bracket often go without - the cafe can help boost well-being. “A lot of visitors don’t necessarily have a social environment that they can go to,” Salvation Army Wodonga Captain Russell Anderson said. “A lot are shut-ins and don’t get out very much. “This is great for those
who don’t have a social network, we do have a sense of community here.” The cafe is open to anyone who wants an affordable lunch or morning tea, including a roast dinner for $5, an egg and bacon muffin for $3, or a dessert for $2.50. The cafe is open Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 2pm at 210 Lawrence Street, Wodonga.
All the right moves here By ERIN SOMERVILLE
A section of the Riverina Highway that will receive upgrades. 135062 “The Albury community and local MP have been beating down my door to improve safety on the Riverina Highway, notably upgrades east of Albury towards Lake Hume.” The $11 million works package will be delivered over three years, and improve bends, widen culverts, and see additional guardrails and signs installed. Upgrades will occur on 2.5 kilometres of road from Bethanga Bridge to Lake Hume Villages, as well as 2.7 kilometres of road from Lake Hume Village to Sandy Creek. Works are expected to begin mid this year. “The road itself is in very poor shape,” Member for Albury Greg Aplin said. “Community feedback was clear - people wanted the highway to be widened in places to help share the road with tourist traffic and boats being owed to
Lake Hume, not to mention improving the surface condition of the highway.” The speed limit on the road between Lake Hume Village and Bethanga Bridge will not be reduced and remain at 80 kilometres per hour following Mr Aplin’s public consultation process in spring. Albury's Mayor Kevin Mack, who has been vocal in pushing for adequate funding for the works, was present at the announcement last week and hopes to see the development benefit the local economy. “It’s a testament to the hard work of local people and Greg for funding - without the noise we wouldn’t be listened to.” Labor candidate for Albury Ross Jackson said he welcomed the funding announcement. “This is something that is long overdue for the community,” he said.
FOR some, playing chess is more than just exercising the mind. When Albury Chess Club took on competitors at the Junee Correctional Centre this month, the positive benefits of the game on the inmates were undeniable. “I can’t express enough the appreciation our inmates feel from these type of events with community members visiting the gaol,” activities co-ordinator at Junee Correctional Centre Mick Perkins told Albury Chess Club members. “The changes I see occurring with these inmates are amazing. “Just a couple of behaviours I have noticed in the last 18 months to two years since we have begun our chess club are a few with low self-esteem have really come out of their shells and become more social. “Others have shown patience and a willing to help others that in the past would not have happened - and of course the exercise for the mind and thinking skills. “Who would have thought that playing chess would have these profound benefits!” Albury Chess Club were joined by competitors from Wagga and Canberra, who all

went through metal detectors, security, and gates to get to their game. “The inmates came from a broad spectrum of society, from young to not so young and a rich mix of cultures,” Albury Chess Club secretary Geoff Lindsay said. But sitting across from each other over the chessboard, all the competitors were equal. “A number of staff volunteered to come in on their day off to support the inmates - we were told about the services available to the inmates to develop their life skills, train them in cultural skills, trades and higher learning. “The whole direction of the gaol was not punishment but training and the development of responsibility and learning such that the inmates could make a successful graduation to society

From part to permanent care By ERIN SOMERVILLE A SERIES of workshops will be held on the Border over autumn to better help carers in transition and understand their changing role. Often, carers have to face a range of emotions and challenges when considering putting a loved one in permanent care. The series of workshops, run by CarersVic, aims to empower carers as they make difficult decisions and transition from fulltime carer to working with an organisation to better meet the needs of a loved one. “The idea of the workshop is to acknowledge these feelings, validate them, and express what they’re going through,” Upper Murray Family Care carer Support Options Jan Kowarzik said. “Caring can be very isolating.” The first workshop will offer emotional support and practical information to carers/families trying to decide about the future care of a person in their care, and cover topics from dealing with guilt through to financial management. The second workshop is for family carers who have recently placed someone they have cared for in a residential care facility, and explore the next phase of a carer’s journey and include responding to change and loss, dealing with stress, and selfcare. ‘It can be very difficult for

“People have described the workshops as empowering.” Feedback from carers who previously attended the workshops included gaining more confidence and assertiveness when dealing with permanent care staff, better understanding legalities and finances, how to best tackle problems, and feeling less isolated.

WILD weather hasn’t dampened the spirits of dozens of participants in this year’s Murray Charity Meander who were caught out by high winds and rain on Monday afternoon. Rescue services were called to Lake Hume after around a dozen boats were caught in choppy conditions. Four boats had been left on shore overnight as the storm passed. The event, which sees teams take on the full length of the Murray in stages in their tinnies over three weeks to raise funds for cancer, was still full-steam ahead yesterday afternoon despite the weather that forced the teams to pull in to Albury for a pitstop. Event co-ordinator Dick Phillips said he was grateful the event’s 100-plus participants were safe following Monday’s unexpected storm, which saw waves reach over one metre. “Probably the highlight
so far is the fact everyone got home safe,” he said. Mr Phillips said safety was a main priority of this exciting fund-raiser. “Everybody has to carry safety gear and we scrutinise all of that before they leave.” This includes carrying UHF radios, wearing life jackets, being supported by a sweep boat which has a satellite phone, and ‘tagging’ each boat to keep track of them. Weather dramas aside, the field has enjoyed its time cruising in the Upper Murray region, and even caught some unusual sights. “Someone took a photo of an echidna swimming, we didn’t even know they could swim,” Mr Phillips said. Participants have come from as far as the Hunter Valley, Hay, South Australia, and Melbourne to explore and relax on the Murray, and raise funds for breast
and prostate cancer. The Meander started in 2006 when Mr Phillips came up with the fund-raising idea four years earlier over a few drinks with some mates. Since then, the event has raised over $1million for charities, including establishing seven oncology nursing scholarships in the Albury Wodonga region. This year’s event will see contestants travel Leg One of the 2500km journey along the Murray. Their journey was launched at Bringenbrong Bridge on Friday and will finish in Echuca this Saturday. Leg Two will see participants journey from Echuca to Mildura, while Leg Three will pass from Mildura to Goolwa. Both Legs Two and Three will be carried out at separate times.

Doctors try out some streetlife LOCAL doctors got a taste of some bad medicine last week when they were left to rough it and eat on the streets. The initiative was a team collaboration between Carevan and the new Wodonga business Marina Radiology, which used its opening night to treat local doctors and guests to a slightly unusual celebration. Instead of the best restaurant in town, the doctors got a taste of what it is like to eat like a number of the Border’s homeless and disadvantaged often do; on their feet, off a paper plate, with delicious food served up by Carevan volunteers. “Obviously, it’s a little bit of a risk
but we hope they will enjoy the experience and embrace the spirit of the occasion,” said Marina’s chief sonographer and business partner Stephen Crosbie in the lead-up to the event. “We are donating $100 to Carevan for each doctor who will join us for the opening ceremony and the following dinner.” Mr Crosbie said the business was eager to support Carevan and the great work they did for the local disadvantaged population. “We are big fans of the work Carevan does and seeing that they are new to Wodonga too, it seemed like a good
chance to do a little work together," Mr Crosbie said. “Carevan is a strong symbol that this community cares. “That fits well with our philosophy. They fight hunger and poverty. With the doctors, we contribute to the fight against disease.” Carevan CEO Di Mant voiced the foundation’s excitement of their continued growth and support they have received. “Carevan is delighted to be operating south of the Border now and we are very pleased to work with Marina Radiology in this inventive sponsorship.”
ALBURY has received more than $700,000 in State Government funding for boating projects across the electorate. The announcement was made last week by Minister for Roads and Freight Duncan Gay and Member for Albury Greg Aplin, with the money funding eight projects to boost safety and accessibility for boaters. The work forms part of an overall $37.5 million funding commitment on almost 200 priority projects state-wide. “All work will be delivered as part of the NSW Boating Now program, a NSW Government initiative to deliver accessible, modern and safe boating infrastructure where it is needed most,” Mr Gay said. “This is about giving boaties in the region what they need - better quality facilities and continual improvements in safety and accessibility. “Close to 2.8 million people go boating in NSW each year and this figure will only increase, so we need to act now to ensure the prosperity of boating in this state.” Mr Aplin said close work with everyday boaters, councils, local sporting organisations and other key community groups had played a role in identifying key issues. “Thanks to the feedback received from our stakeholders, I’m confident that we now have the right plans tailored to meet the needs of boaters in the region.”
The NSW Government will now work with each council and other delivery partners to finalise the scope of each project, including funding contributions and timeframes. It is expected that all of the priority projects identified in the regional boating plan will be delivered by the end of 2017. NSW Boating Now funding has been allocated to the following key projects in the Albury electorate: Improving boating facilities at Apex Park, Lake Hume $100,000 allocated; Installing solar lighting at Mungabareena Reserve boat ramp, East Albury - $20,000 allocated; Installing non-powered vessel launching facility at Wonga Wetlands, East Albury $60,000 allocated; Supporting concept planning to improve the boating experience at the Murray River Riverside Precinct, Albury - $50,000 allocated; Upgrading boat ramp and car/ trailer parking at Lions Park, Corowa - $245,000 allocated; Upgrading boat ramp and car/trailer parking and install pontoon and sewage pumpout at Purtle Park, Mulwala $255,000 allocated; Extend boat ramp at Mannus Lake, Tumbarumba - $6500 allocated; and Reconstruct pontoon at Mannus Lake, Tumbarumba - $12,900 allocated

Mud brothers By ERIN SOMERVILLE LOTS of mud, plenty of laughs, and challenges in all shapes and sizes. That’s what Border Battlefield organisers have in store for competitors who are gearing up for this weekend’s epic obstacle challenge. The third-annual AllFit Albury event is expected to be bigger and better than ever, with its inaugural 9.9-kilometre course at Great Aussie Holiday Park set to have many surprises and fun in store. Three-metre high obstacles, a 300-metre mud channel, and a hill run are just some of the hints organisers are giving participants to what lies ahead. “Going through first will not be too hard, but after 100 people have gone through it is going to be a lot harder,” Border Battlefield organiser Paul Azzi said. While the course may sound like an overwhelming challenge, organisers say anyone can finish it and can even tackle it as a team. Participants use the the event for different purposes, whether as a competitive challenge, pre-season sports training, team bonding, or just for a laugh. “We have a lot of sporting teams and gym teams, and the super-fit through to the team event. “A lot of it is about working together to get through it. “Last time we had people from age 60 to 16 take part, and everyone finished the course.” Organisers have hinted that the course may be a little more challenging than last year, but bringing even more fun. ‘There are a few more hills and a bit more mud, that always helps in slowing people down a bit.” The course will feature 30 obstacles and will take roughly between one to three hours to complete. Organisers expect the new venue to be so popular they have even established several permanent obstacles for future Border Battlefields, as well as other sporting events and training.

Facing up to fear By ERIN SOMERVILLE The Border Battlefield promises to be a lot of fun. 134294
Above: Some challenging obstacles will test participants. Right: It’s going to get messy at the Border Battlefield. Don’t miss the Border Battlefield this Saturday for a great day out, whatever your objectives may be. Check-in time is 8.30am for a 9am start. Registrations close today, but walk-
ins will be accepted on the day, although they can’t be guaranteed a T-shirt. To register visit http://allfit.com.au/ border-battlefield/
THEY say the fear of public speaking is second only to death. For those who get the sweaty palms, jelly legs, and the dreaded blank mind when preparing to speak in public, you’re far from alone. The newly-established Indigo Valley Speakers Toastmasters Club is now giving rural residents the chance to find their voice and take the fear out of public speaking. “I can still remember my first Toastmasters class when I was in my early thirties, which back then was called Toastmistress, and I can remember standing up and my legs just shaking,” Indigo Valley Speakers Vice-President of Membership and Treasurer Elizabeth Mourik said. Many years on, Ms Mourik has managed to overcome her fear of public speaking through the help of Toastmasters, and is now confident to give a spontaneous speech or speak in front of a crowd when need be. Even after 16 years of working with Toastmasters in Albury Wodonga, she and other long-term members still continue to develop skills and learn something new at each class. “We mainly focus on building con-
fidence when speaking to a group of people who may or may not be known to you,” Indigo Valley Speakers Toastmaster Club President Carole McCulloch said. “The other half is about leadership.” The Indigo Valley Speakers team has seen how mastering public speaking can open the door to a whole range of opportunities for people, whether aged 18 to 80. “People come from all different walks of life,” Ms McCulloch said. “Most people are scared of not knowing what to say and not being able to step up to the mark.” The team behind Indigo Valley Speakers have seen participants go on to gain confidence, develop their careers, nail job interviews, and maximise the potential of any timeframe given to them. The Indigo Valley Speakers Toastmasters Club invites you to their next meeting at Baranduda Community Centre, Sage Court, Baranduda on the last Thursday of each month at 6.30pm. Those who are simply interested in observing the workshops are also welcome to attend.
All-round effort makes Indigo home of heritage By ERIN SOMERVILLE NOMINATIONS are now open to recognise people and groups who have made outstanding contributions to cultural heritage in the Indigo Shire. Indigo Shire’s heritage awards will feature in the National Trust’s Heritage Festival, which runs from late April to late May, but Mayor Bernard Gaffney is encouraging locals to begin nominating now and prove that Indigo has some of the best heritage towns in Australia. “Indigo Shire’s heritage and environment makes it a unique place in Australia,” Cr Gaffney said. “Our community values our heritage and are active and keen
Letters
to see it looked after. “These awards recognise the efforts that members of our community make in preserving heritage aspects on their own land or in their town.” Indigo Shire’s commitment to preserving heritage can be seen throughout the towns and villages including its many gardens, streetscapes, heritage parks, and forests. The award night, to be held on Friday, May 29, will also feature Indigo’s Person of the Year and secretary of the Rutherglen Historical Society Judy Harrison as guest speaker. Council’s Heritage Advisory Committee and the National Trust (Victoria) are encouraging
people to enter the shire’s Heritage Awards for 2015, with applications now open. National Trust (Victoria) advisory committee representative Pamela Thomas has been involved in the awards program for the past few years, and says it is a great chance to recognise worthy local residents and groups. “The awards program is a major initiative of the Indigo Heritage Advisory Committee and provides an ideal opportunity to encourage Indigo communities to celebrate and promote the shire’s heritage,” Ms Thomas said.

Still a baby TO PIETER Mourik for saying that a mother is not having a baby until she is pregnant for 20 weeks. Check out early scans again, Pieter! Very much a human baby - not any other species,no matter how one likes to play with words! Helen Greenhow, Wodonga.
Feet made for walkin’ I WRITE to congratulate Albury Wodonga Health on the success of the 2015 Hume Bank City2City Run Walk. What a fantastic day! More than 3500 people of all ages ran, walked, ambled, strolled and pushed prams along the Lincoln Causeway from Albury to Wodonga on Sun-
day, 22 February. Scots School and Albury and Wodonga brass bands provided entertainment and the hundreds of volunteers decked out in orange added to the great atmosphere. City2City helps celebrate the two border cities and the $100,000 raised will be a great support forAlbury Wodonga Health. Thanks to the City2City committee Michelle Hudson, Jen Hayes, Jemma Galvin, Jacquie Carroll, Megan Zawertailo, John Roberts, Wayne Williams and Jacinta Ducat. To the committee and sponsors, you have done your communities proud in organising a fun event, with a health and well-being focus and fund-raiser for local health. Cathy McGowan AO MP, Independent Member for Indi.
Check section 83 IN HIS letter Majority Rules (NewsWeekly, 18 February) Associate Professor Pieter Mourik again seeks to obscure the facts concerning the Englehardt Street clinic operated by the Melbourne company Fertility Control Australia. His portrayal of abortion law in NSW as being archaic and based on the 1861 Offence Against the Person Act is false. The Levine Judgement and the Kirby Decision to which he refers, both involved establishing a partial and limited defence to the crime of abortion in NSW, a crime which is a criminal offence under section 83 of the Crimes Act NSW. Try as he might to portray abortion as being “legal” in NSW, it remains a crime. The last conviction of a doctor in NSW, a Dr Suman Sood in
2006 (R v Sood [2006] NSWSC 1141 31 October 2006) was hardly an archaic or 19th century legal action! Further concession of the fact that abortion is a crime in NSW is that Dr Mourik himself helped organise an Albury forum attended by The Greens who bragged of the bill they hope to introduce into the NSW Upper House to legalise abortion! Dr Mourik’s constant need to spread misinformation about the legal status of what is done in the Englehardt Street Clinic should give pause to anyone who might be considering using their services. Is the so-called “ right to privacy“ campaign being run by Dr Mourik really about medical privacy? Denise M. Cameron, President Pro life Victoria (Inc) Fitzroy.

Jupiter on the descent along with some careers Jupiter Ascending (M) Starring: Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton, Doona Bae, Tim Pigott-Smith JUPITER Descending is a more accurate description of this film. That, along with what this film might do to the actors’ careers as well as its audience’s intelligence levels. But I’ll leave that for later. In the beginning, we meet Jupiter Jones. If the lead character’s name alone hasn’t made you get up and leave the cinema yet, you deserve the suffering of the next two hours. Set on the streets of futuristic Chicago, Jupiter dreams of big things, but in reality is stuck working in a dead-end job. Let that be a lesson to anyone thinking of naming their child after a gas giant. What Jupiter doesn’t know
is that beyond Earth, the House of Abrasax has ruled life on every habitable planet in the universe for the past millennia, waiting to harvest the evolved living once they reach a Darwinian state of perfection. Once the matriarch of the royal alien family dies, the House comes to war as three brothers fight it out for the crown. Enter Jupiter Jones. This unsuspecting Earthling carries the genetic legacy, offering her power beyond her wildest dreams and the chance to take over the reins of the Abrasax legacy. With the help of Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered warrior who came to Earth to reveal to Jupiter the reason behind her ridiculous name, she must leave her Earthly life behind and take hold of her true destiny. I can’t even deal with the
fact Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne, who appears as the villainous Balem, is in this fatal flick, and he should have to hand his Oscar for simply being involved in such garbage. They got Sean Bean, too. Oh, the humanity. Coming from the Wachowski siblings, who are behind ground-breaking stuff such as the Matrix, this film should have been better. It wasn’t. The project simply got too big for them. The dialogue is gibberish and needs a lot of focus to understand the mythology, the Cinderalla story falls flat, and actors’ performances fail to pull off the random intergalactic mess this film is. On a good note, the visuals are okay. Take tissues though, you’ll be in mourning for the actors’ careers and two hours and five minutes you won't get back. - Erin Somerville

Benedick (Matt Lane) and Beatrice (Tanya Harvey) prepare to meet in the Botanic Gardens.
Much ado in the gardens By TANIA PHILLIPS SHAKESPEARE for everyone. That’s how director Tony McCaughey sees The Other Theatre Company’s forthcoming production of the much-loved romantic comedy Much Ado About Nothing. The amateur company will return to the Albury Botanic Gardens next month, the scene of their performance of Midsummer Night’s Dream, to stage their adaptation of the story of reluctant suitors Beatrice and Benedick. For four nights the Botanic Gardens will become the gardens of a grand villa in Messina during the Renaissance wars and noble Leonato will host a party of important officers on leave from the battlefield, and entertain them with a grand masque ball. The performances will be the end of almost a year’s work for Tony McCaughey who is not only directing but has written this adaptation to ensure a modern audience will understand this delightful comedy. Tony admits it was a big task but as a big fan of the Bard, it seems like a labour of love and he says he has been careful to bring the story to life in a way that maintains the original story but also makes it accessible to everyone. “This is something for the community,” he said. “Come along and bring a chair, a bottle of wine and a picnic basket and enjoy the play,” he said. And what a story it is - matchmaking plans are made to bring together two young couples: the young and willing Hero and Claudio, and the very unwilling spinster and bachelor Beatrice and Benedick. Throw in a dastardly plot to ruin a wedding, a staged funeral and a group of useless constables - what could possibly stand in the way of a happy ending? When: 13-14 March and 20-21 March, 7pm Where: Albury Botanic Gardens, Wodonga Place, Albury Price: $22.35 adult, $17.35 concession, $12.35 child under 15, $17.35 group 10+, $49.40 Family of 4, children 5 years and under free. The Allbury Wodonga News Weekly is giving away three double passes to see Much Ado About Nothing on its opening night on 13 March at 7pm, valued at $44.70 each. See our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/awnewsweekly to see how you can win. Competition closes Monday 2 March at 10am.

Country greats share stage AS A young child, Beccy Cole (who’s about to release her first novel) like most of us grew up listening to the classic country songs. Little did she know that one day she’d be singing them on stage. This weekend Beccy will team up with another brilliant voice of Australian music Melinda Schneider to bring their new album “Great Women Of Country And The Songs That Made Them” to Albury. It’s a project close to their hearts and one that’s been a long time coming. Both have wanted to work together for a while, but hadn’t found the time. However, when Troy Cas-
sar-Daly and Adam Harvey put together their Great Country Songbook album, the germ of an idea started for Melinda and Beccy - why not do something for the women of country. And let’s face it who wouldn’t want the opportunity to sing songs like Stand By Your Man, I Will Always Love You, Blue Bayou, D.I.V.O.R.C.E., and of course, the first single off the album, 9 to 5. Melinda and Beccy are music royalty in Australia. Renowned for their successful solo careers, between them these outstanding talents have amassed 18 albums, five of them Gold status, together with numerous awards and accolades.
Fifteen Golden Guitars adorn their mantlepieces, with both of them having taken gongs for Female Vocalist Of The Year and APRA Song Of The Year. They both also proudly boast a swag of songwriting awards and Entertainer Of The Year awards. It seems only fitting and natural that these firm friends not only record an album of some of the all-time great country songs by women but also perform them live and in concert. “Both Beccy and I had always thought about doing an album like this individually ... but I woke up one morning and the idea wouldn’t leave me
alone, so I called Beccy and asked: wanna do it together?” Melinda said. And so they have. “I loved revisiting the songs that were such a big part of my childhood, they’re timeless, they were old even then!” says Beccy. “These are some of the songs that I drew from to make my own music, to get to pay tribute to them by recording and performing new versions is a great responsibility but such an honour. The duo will perform on Saturday 28 February - Albury Entertainment Centre Book on 02 6043 5610 or alburycity.nsw. gov.au/entertainment.

Family clutch By ERIN SOMERVILLE THIRTY years after his father Arnie started Wodonga Brake and Clutch, Darren Leitch and his wife Amanda are now proud to be able to call the business their own. The local family business aims to provide quality customer care and really understand their clients’ needs, as well as offering vast knowledge and experience, and competitive prices. The business has been part of the Leitch family over many years, and the team prides itself on maintaining Wodonga Brake and Clutch’s great reputation. It was at this business where now-owner Darren first developed his passion for mechanical work under the guidance of his father Arnie almost 20 years ago. While the business changed hands for almost a decade, Darren and Amanda were pleased to put the Leitch stamp back on it last year. Since taking over the reins, the team is eager to continue developing the business.
The company offers a lot more than just brakes and clutches. Darren and his mechanical partner Ben have almost 40 years of industry experience under their belt, and can be trusted to take the best possible care of your vehicle. “We specialise in brakes and clutches, but we do all sorts of mechanical repairs and servicing,” Darren said. The team’s extensive experience also means they are welltrained in working with older vehicles, as well as newer models for repairs. Wodonga Brake and Clutch also supplies an increasing number of mechanical stock, including pads and rotors, shoes, drums, brake hoses and the like, suitable for high-end needs down to budget-friendly options. Providing great customer service and working with clients is an element of the business Amanda says the team prides itself on. “We service and repair customers’ vehicles as if they were our own.
“Safety is our number one priority. “We build a relationship with the customers,” she said. “We like to look after people so they come back.” The team also understands car repairs and maintenance can be quite a daunting and an overwhelming task for those not in the industry, and are happy to warmly guide customers through the process without judgement if they are a little unsure or feel intimidated by the mechanical industry. “It can be male dominated and people assume women don’t know what they’re talking about, but women own and drive vehicles too and deserve the same fair service,” Amanda said. “We can help provide a better understanding. “Everyone is treated equally.” Visit the team at Wodonga Brake and Clutch the next time your vehicle is in need of a repair, service, or upgrade. You can find the friendly team at 8/41 Hovell Street, Wodonga, or phone on (02) 6024 7155.

REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL GAS STRUTS
DARK clouds may be amassing on the Ford Australia horizon with the approaching demise of manufacturing but there is some sunshine still in the blue oval skies. Heading the Falcon flight is the FG X XR8 sedan, with which Ford has returned a V8 engine - the 5.0-litre supercharged Boss unit - to the Falcon XR Series line-up. The FG X XR8 six-speed manual selling for $52,490, plus on-roads, and six-speed automatic for $54,690. The latter was our test vehicle. With the new Falcon FG X series already in showrooms and the arrival of the updated Focus and Focus ST, all-new Mondeo, Mustang coupe and convertible and Everest SUV, by 2016 Ford will have reworked in some way its entire model Aussie line-up. Also making a push into new territory is the company’s myFord Capped Price Servicing program, which has now been extended up to seven years and 135,000 km, whichever comes first, up from six years and 105,000 km. The service also is extended to include brake pad replacements. The capped price brake program provides a maximum rate for brake pad replacement. Front and centre is Ford’s global design DNA with a signature trapezoidal grille, chiselled headlight treatment and smoother, wraparound taillamps with LED technology. A daytime running light set-up is unique to the XR8. On the outside the Falcon XR8 has strong visual differences over other XR Series models, with a bonnet power bulge, quad-tipped exhaust system, power side exterior repeater mirrors and unique shadow-line five-spoke 19-inch x 8.0 (front) / 9.0 (rear) alloy wheels.
NEW MT-07
The Falcon XR8 stands alone from the rest of the XR series. Inside, generous seats offer outstanding support, cushioning excessive lateral body movement when taking to twisty bits in spirited driving. Seat inserts are natural perforated leather with the seat bolster in Nudo print leather. Instruments and controls are clearly defined, the latter readily falling to hand, while front and rear parking sensors help drivers with greater accuracy by providing a proximity warning tone of hidden obstacles. The new Falcon is replete with smart technology led by Ford’s SYNC2 connectivity system with emergency assistance standard across the range. Microsoft-based SYNC2 enables occupants to use voice commands to control phone, music, radio, air-con, and navigation with single-shot GPS for destination entry, where fitted. A high-resolution 8.0-inch colour touch screen with four colour-coded quadrants enables easy access to features. As well, customers gain a digital radio (where there is coverage) and twin antennas for improved audio quality. The Boss 5.0-litre, supercharged 32-valve V8 puts out maximum power of 335 kW at 5750 rpm and maximum torque of 570 Nm all the way from 2200 to 5500 revs. That’s bulk grunt under your right foot virtually all the time. To match the performance of the sporty sedan, the FG X XR8 features front Brembo four-piston calliper brakes and rear single-piston calliper brakes, high-spec cooling fan, limited-slip differential, heavy duty battery and sports steering gear. Ford has fitted the FPV GT R-Spec suspension to the new Falcon XR8. A passenger safety cell, incorporating ultrahigh strength steel for all-round protection, is augmented by six airbags, including curtain airbags.
Dynamic stability control limits over-steer and under-steer by working with traction control and ABS braking to help keep the vehicle under control. A fatigue warning system lets the driver know when it’s probably time to pull over and rest after prolonged periods of continuous driving. It all adds up to the entire Falcon FG X range earning the top five-star ANCAP safety rating. Front and rear parking sensors are standard. Emergency assistance comes into play in the event of the vehicle being involved in an accident in which airbags deploy or the emergency fuel pump shutoff is activated. SYNC2 uses its handsfree phone capabilities to attempt to connect the driver directly with a triple-zero operator through the paired phone. Compared to the last FG Falcon XR8, Ford claims the FG X XR8 has better turn-in, more rear grip, less body roll and an increased sense of control from behind the wheel. This was put to the test at the vehicle’s launch when the FG X XR8 was committed to road and trackwork. The animalistic sedan was raced around a slalom set-up, its characteristic 335 kW V8 growl ringing out at any power-packed manoeuvre. At no time was there any hesitation in the vehicle’s response to driving input. In another part of town, fuel consumption was shown to be within large V8 parameters, with the XR8 showing the creditable figure of 11.6 litres per 100 kilometres on the motorway. But hovering around the 20-litre mark in stop-start city traffic. Ah well, think of the fun factor. Parking especially in skinny shopping centre spaces was relatively stress free due to a reversing camera with guidelines. Getting in and out was not so easy at times, the wide opening doors a threat to close neighbours. There will be many things familiar to the Falcon V8 aficionado in the new FG X XR8 and those not so familiar will soon find their way around the new surroundings. It’s a bit like coming home really. Model range Falcon FG X 4.0L Petrol (auto) $35,900 Falcon FG X XR6 4.0L Petrol (manual) $35,590, (auto) $37,790 Falcon FG X XR6 Turbo 4.0L Petrol (manual) $42,990, (auto) $45,190 Falcon FG X G6E 4.0L Petrol (auto) $40,110 Falcon FG X G6E Turbo 4.0L Petrol (auto) $46,550 Falcon FG X XR8 5-litre supercharged (manual) $52,490, (auto) $54,690

HELLO fellow motorcyclists, this year is off and running and what a great start to the year for the Albury Wodonga Motorcycle Club, with the very successful running of the first round of the Sky Lift Short Track series at the Lincoln causeway the other weekend. It was an action-packed event with a large field of very talented local and interstate riders competing. This Saturday night will see the final round being run. If you want to see top class racing under lights, this is an event not to miss. There is also a calendar full of activities for the year ahead.
The Albury Wodonga Classic and Enthusiast’s Motorcycle Club ran a very successful show and shine event last weekend at the Wicked Virgin Winery with a great variety of very well loved and unique classic motor cycles on display. This is another great club with a very busy calendar and well worth looking into if you love the older classics that make up motorcycle history. And let’s not forget that we are only one month away now from the largest motorcycle event to ever hit the Border region with the Ulysses AGM being run in Wodonga over the last week in March. This will be a truly huge event with thousands of mo-
torcyclists descending on our region to enjoy everything that is on offer to motorcycle lovers. It is a huge achievement for the local branch of the Ulysses Club to bring this event to our district, and I’m sure it will be a ripper. Albury Wodonga and the surrounding region is full of great motorcycle clubs offering a huge variety of activities for the local motorcyclist to be involved in no matter what type of riding you are into. So, as we head into the best time of the year for riding motorcycles in our fantastic part of Australia, I hope you find the time to enjoy your riding pleasure. Ride safe.

just across the road and shops nearby. The kitchen is large and functional, complete with plenty of storage space and enough room for a small dining area or breakfast bar. The lounge room offers plenty of space with natural light, and also comes with a large gas wall furnace. A set of double sliding doors ensures the room can be closed off and made into a private space from the rest of the home. All three bedrooms in the home come complete with builtin wardrobes. The main bedroom has plenty of space, while the
other two also offer generous room and great potential. The bathroom and separate toilet area are in need of upgrading, but the space leads itself to a wonderful bathroom area after a simple makeover. The laundry area is also very spacious, and offers extra storage space, which is a great feature throughout the home. Built in the early ‘70s, the home has been in the ownership of one person for almost four decades. Now ready for a little bit of TLC from a new owner, this home is just waiting for the right first home buyer or investor.

Local Sport Riding on wave of cash
Belvoir in last push for finals
By TANIA PHILLIPS
By JAMES MCNEIL
IT WAS a nice day for a bike ride at the weekend as 608 participants in this year’s Lake Hume Cycle Challenge found out. Riders from as far away as Gosford and Melbourne and everywhere in between took part in the event run by the Rotary Club of Bellbridge Lake Hume, raising an estimated $25,000 (the actual amount is yet to be finalised). And although the riders returned home to all over the place, the money didn’t stay in the district and is going to The Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre. The Wellness Centre section will house various support groups that provide information and emotional support for people affected by cancer, both patients and their carers. Not bad for a club with just 11 members according to organiser Colin Maginnity. They get plenty of support on the day with club members' family members coming out to help and the support of both the Rotary Wodonga Central and Tallangatta. Held for the past 15 years, these days the event includes three rides and a short walk/ride. The road rides are 133km, 100km and 40km in length and take riders through the picturesque rolling hills and valleys
AN AMAZING turn of events could see Belvoir yet sneak into the Crick Albury Wodonga finals with an outright victory pending against Wodonga Raiders. Belvoir had been all but written off by all involved in the competition after last week's drawn match due to inclement weather. Suddenly Belvoir finds themselves with an opportunity to knock either Tallangatta or Lavington out of the finals race. A superb batting display at Birallee from Drew Cameron (73) and John Spencer (59) enabled Belvoir to declare in just the 47th over at 7/236. Cameron Lodding was the other main contributor with 40 quick pre-declaration runs. The best of the bowlers for Raiders were Jonathon Carson and Kori Stevenson with two wickets apiece. In response, Belvoir has already got Wodonga Raiders on the back foot at 5/97. Unsurprisingly, Zac Simmonds has already bowled nine of the 30 overs which takes him to a mammoth 232.5 overs for the year. Belvoir will look to take Josh Warren Marmo’s wicket early next week and try and roll the Raiders for a second time to sneak into the final six. St Patricks have already taken first innings points against New City at Xavier Oval at the end of day one. New City won the toss and elected to bat, but didn’t show much resolve with Jarryd Hatton the main destroyer for St Pats with 5/23 off 9.2 including the final three wickets. Hayden Wishart was the only player to score double figures for the Phoenix with 36. St Pats made quick work in chasing down the target and have already finished the day at 7/207 off their 37 overs. Luke Restall (69) and Andrew Lade (73) were the main contributors for St Pats who will look to post a big score and then take New City’s 10 wickets for an outright victory.

Christopher Bridle, David Farrell and Craig Taylor in the field with James McNeil at the striker's end. In what is finishing up to be an incredible year for young gun Darcy I’Anson he has taken all seven wickets to fall in the St Pats innings which has taken him to the top of the league wicket takers with 36 wickets. Albury captain Kade Brown has struck fear into Tallangatta with an innings of 102 at Rowen Park in what will be Albury’s last game of the year. Chris Ball was the second top scorer with 27 while Brown’s ability to bat long periods helped the Titans post 265. Tallangatta skipper Mat Armstrong bowled 27 overs for the miserly figures of 5/58 which helped keep the Bushies in it while Sam Stephens also took three wickets. Tallangatta will have to bat well against Albury’s attack to chase down that score, but it is far from out of their reach. East Albury won the toss at Alexandra Park and took the opportunity to bat versus a North Albury side which has been playing quality cricket. The Crows were in a bit of early trouble at 3/47, thanks to some tight bowling from the North Albury seam attack. Chris Bridle batted well for the Crows with 39 while James McNeil (94) and the lower order combined to get the Crows to 9/222. Brandon Purtell had a day out with the ball, taking figures of 6/41 off 17.3 overs. Lavington may be poised to hand Wodonga an upset in the lead-up to CAW Provincial finals with a Sam Har-
Cyclists up to the big Challenge By CRAIG McMILLAN BENDED ELBOW CYCLING TEAM LAST weekend’s Lake Hume Cycle Challenge proved to be a solid early season tune up for the region’s top cyclists, as well as providing hundreds of social and visiting cyclists enjoyable rides on a variety of courses. With distances to suit all levels of fitness and experience, it was encouraging to see the level of support from riders of all ages and the enthusiasm of those involved, whether riding or volunteering. The Granya Grind, as it is affectionately known, is traditionally a relaxed ride through Tallangatta to the bottom of the Granya climb, with a more sporting contest on the leg home through Bellbridge. The presence this year of the Bicycle Super Store Women’s Cycling Team, Neil Van Der Ploeg fresh from his 3rd place in the Australian Championships and the Bended Elbow Cycling Team, soon had the tempo high. The fast pace set by the road riders was soon
picked up by the Border’s top mountain bike riders, with these riders often training on road bikes, they took advantage of the ride to build their fitness for upcoming events. Their hard work to maintain a high tempo had the first few riders complete the 133km course in well under four hours, with the remainder of the 200 plus field finishing over the next two hours. Overall the event was a huge success, raising funds for the Cancer Wellness Centre and enticing numbers of cyclists to enjoy the Border over the weekend. The Bended Elbow Team tuned up for the event with the latest round of the summer Time Trial Series. Albury’s Aaron Moffat continues to impress with a 22.36 for the 16km course, tied for 1st spot with Tully Lyster of Wangaratta, who also took out the Masters category. Matt Clark of the Avanti Professional team also travelled up from Wangaratta to use the event to ease back into competition following an injury, and impressed with a solid 3rd place in 22.52.

Harris ended up with 108 while Tom Hargreave (42) and Josh Jones (34) provided lower order cameo’s to get the Panthers to what looks like a defendable score. Brendan Klein-Boonschate was the best with the ball for Wodonga with 3/54 off 19 overs. Lavington will be looking to make early inroads into the Wodonga order to prevent them from taking the points while also guaranteeing themselves a place in finals cricket.
