Space stays public A POCKET of hotly contested land behind St Matthew’s Church will continue to remain a public space. Council voted at Monday night’s council meeting to compulsorily acquire the land that backs into QEII Square so it can continue to be used by the public. The church recently revoked a licence agreement that has been in place since 1966 that allowed the land to be occupied by council for another 99 years (until 2065). Mayor Kevin Mack said that change prompted council to negotiate and resolve the ownership or tenure of the land so that it could ensure it would continue to be public open space for the community. Cr Mack said the compulsory acquisition was a last resort because other options had been exhausted. “Council repeatedly offered to buy the 1355 square metres of land at what it believed was a reasonable price. Those offers were declined,” he said. “The amount we offered is confidential but we can say that it was based on a reasonable benchmark

between the Valuer-General’s recommendation of $500 per square metre and a commercial valuation estimate that the church put forward.” Cr Mack said the land, maintained by council at no cost to the church, had been open space for the community for the past 50 years and would continue to be open space for the community. “The war memorial on that land will also remain untouched,” he said. Cr Mack said the land was critical to AlburyCity’s Cultural Precinct Masterplan, which was adopted in February. “We asked the church for input into that plan at the time and it raised no objection,” he said. The land is currently occupied by builders working on the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) and will again become public open space when works are completed. “This land is significant to the community and it needs to continue to be open space for the community,” Cr Mack said.

Albury turns to MAMA

FROM an idea on paper to an imposing feature in the heart of Albury, the countdown to meeting MAMA has finally begun. AlburyCity has announced this week that the Murray Art Museum Albury will open its doors to the public on 2 October. MAMA’s opening exhibition Wiradjuri Ngurambanggu (On Wiradjuri Country) is to set the scene and visions for MAMA’s future, and features the work of five leading contemporary indigenous artists including Jonathan Jones, Brook Andrew, Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Karla Dickens and Nicole Foreshew. The long-awaited opening is set to kick off some of the biggest celebrations the city of Albury has ever seen. Read more on page 3.

Sleek fix to hearing woe THE iconic blue and white Australian Hearing bus is stopping by Albury to offer local residents free hearing checks for the first ever, nation-wide Big Aussie Hearing Check. The check-ups come as part of Hearing Awareness Week from 23 to 29 August. During the week, the Australian Hearing Albury team is rallying the local community to come together to prioritise their hearing and get their hearing checked. Kathryn Symes, centre manager of Australian Hearing Albury, said the Big Aussie Hearing Check aimed to give the local community an easy way to care for their hearing. “While Australians are well-known for loving a good challenge, research shows that getting our hearing checked is one challenge we are not willing to take on, because we’re either too embarrassed or in denial about our hearing loss,” she said. Australian Hearing is tackling this issue head-on with the Big Aussie Hearing Check, a national awareness day which urges Australians to get their hearing checked. “Hearing loss touches almost every Australian in some way or another. We know that typically people wait for seven to 10 years to seek help, which often not only affects the person

A hearing check takes less than 15 minutes, so there’s no excuse to put it off any longer.” Research also reveals that only 15 per cent of adults diagnosed with hearing loss choose to wear hearing aids. The main barriers which prevent Australians from taking action are the way hearing aids look and the fact that hearing loss is recognised as a sign of ageing. “Today’s hearing aids are sleek gadgets which can be hid-

Thurley said it was important to keep the passion for science alive in a time when funding for science was being cut in Australia. “My view is politicians and much of the public are largely ignorant about science. We want to encourage these kids to want to study science by experiencing that it can be lots of fun,” he said. “We need to have kids think and ask questions.” The week has been funded through a $10,000 Inspiring Australia grant, with many volunteers coming in to help run exhibitions.

Countdown to MAMA THE long anticipated wait for MAMA’s doors to open is nearly over, with 2 October being announced as the regional art gallery’s opening date. To mark the event, part of Dean Street will be closed for what will be the biggest celebration Albury has seen which will include international performers, live music, food vans, major projection works and public artwork in QEII Square. MAMA director Jacqui Hemsley said entry to MAMA would be free on opening weekend and continue to be free - except for major touring exhibitions. The anticipated celebration for opening day is expected to be so popular, however, that people will need to book to get through MAMA’s doors. “The opening of MAMA is more than about art, it’s about great fun, memorable experiences, new ideas and how we look at our beautiful city,” Ms Hemsley said. “There will be wonderous installations of light and sound, giant snails, street puppets and blow-up MAMA monsters.” AlburyCity mayor Kevin Mack said it would be the biggest celebration Albury had ever seen. “We should all celebrate MAMA because it is going to be a great asset to our community and attract people to the city,” Cr Mack said. “People will travel to Albury from around Australia and even overseas to visit MAMA. “That’s going to be great for our local economy.” MAMA’s opening exhibition is Wiradjuri Ngurambanggu (On Wiradjuri Country) and features the work of five leading contemporary Indigenous artists - Jonathan Jones, Brook Andrew, Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Karla Dickens and Nicole Foreshew. Details of how to book for MAMA’s opening day will be announced in early September. The full opening celebration program will also be announced in early September.

For a kinder kind of care New traffic lights will let pedestrians know how long they have to cross the road. 143436 Picture: ADAM WILSON

And the countdown is on DEAN Street pedestrians will no longer have to rush hesitantly across intersections with new countdown timers being rolled out. The pedestrian count down timers will be installed at Kiewa and Dean Streets intersection, and Dean and David Streets intersection. The timers will replace the flashing red signal with yellow countdown timers so pedestrians know exactly how much time they have to cross the road before the traffic begins moving. The roll-out has been welcomed by Albury MP Greg Aplin as part of a $1.5 million program across 29 New South Wales locations to cut pedestrian fatalities. “The $1.5 million program follows a recently completed trial which determined that these types of pedestrian countdown timers work best at intersections where pedestrians are the only people on the road with a green light,” he said. Minister for Roads Duncan Gay announced pedestrian countdown timers would start being installed at select locations across the state. The program will further investigate the types of timers that can provide benefits at more complex intersections like changing the colour of the countdown timer from orange to red as it runs out of time, or including an image - like a stop hand - next to the timer. This program puts NSW up there with a long list of countries right across the world using pedestrian countdown timers including New York, Tokyo and Singapore.

A new light system will improve pedestrian safety. 143436 Picture: ADAM WILSON “With 41 pedestrians already killed this year, which is 13 up from last year, we’re pulling out all stops to try and reduce these tragic statistics,” Mr Gay said.

By ERIN SOMERVILLE A LITTLE bit of kindness can go a long way for someone battling cancer. “A lot of people come in with increased levels of anxiety when receiving chemotherapy,” Albury Wodonga Health oncology nurse unit manager Brett Pressnell said. “The staff are very good at recognising and supporting that.” It was the small act of kindness on Wednesday morning, with the Cancer Council teaming up with Beechworth Bakery to donate a mouth-watering morning tea in the lead-up to the massive cancer fund-raiser Daffodil Day that helped bring smiles to the face of local cancer patients. Albury residents can expect to see the Cancer Council doing many acts of kindness in the lead-up to Daffodil Day to spread a message of hope that together, with the support of the Albury, cancer can be beaten. “Daffodil Day is such an iconic event not only within our community, but across the country,” Cancer Council NSW community programs co-ordinator Mel Nixon said. “Together we can make a difference in beating this horrible disease and every little bit counts, which is why I’ll be

Registered nurse Kris McMillan helps bring a smile to the oncology unit with an act of kindness. 143344 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE spreading the daffodil spirit by showing I care, this August.” Daffodil Day has raised over $133 million since its inception, which has helped significantly to reduce the impact of cancer in the community. This year is the 29th year the event has taken place. Mr Pressnell said the day was important to help support local cancer patients. “It’s supportive in that it creates awareness.” This year’s Daffodil Day comes along with excitement of the local Cancer Wellness Centre being constructed. “It’s getting busier and bus-

ier and the need for the building is paramount,” Mr Pressnell said. The Cancer Council’s Daffodil Day represents hope for Australians living with cancer and is the largest national fundraising event of its kind in the southern hemisphere. This year the event aims to raise $3.3 million in NSW, and $8.5 million nationally. Over 5000 volunteers will staff more than 600 Daffodil Day sites across NSW this year.

Nation’s defenders will be remembered By ERIN SOMERVILLE IT took the government 63 years to commemorate an event that saw around 25,000 Australian troops killed in action during World War II. Even today, many Australians are unfamiliar with Battle for Australia Day, held on the first Wednesday of September each year to recognise the service and sacrifice of all those who served in the defence of Australia in 1942 and 1943. “It’s just as important as Anzac Day, we were directly involved and it should be remembered,” Albury RSL Sub-branch vice-president Harry Hacking said. “A lot of people celebrate Victory in the Pacific, or Victory over Japan Day, but for me Battle for Australia is more relevant and more associated with us.” Australians fought hard to defend its shores during the end of World War II. In 1942, the country lost thousands of its service personnel in battles including Kokoda, Buna-Gona, Milne Bay, Goodenough Island, and more. Meanwhile, Australian soil was also being attacked, with the first occurring at 9.58am on 19 February, in 1942, when Darwin was attacked by 188 Japanese aircraft. “A lot of people don’t know, but Australia was attacked 83 times by air.” Members of Albury RSL Sub-branch will be commemorating Battle for Australia Day with a service at Anzac House on 2 September, at 11am, with this year marking 70 years since the end of World War II.

Albury RSL Sub-branch vice-president Harry Hacking says Battle for Australia Day is an Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE important time to remember the fallen. 143382

The world’s their stage By ERIN SOMERVILLE MOVING to the United States to be trained by the country’s best dancing academies is a big dream for any teenager, but for two Wodonga dancers, it’s about to become a reality. Zoe Cavedon, 15, and Casey Wallis, 16, have secured themselves full-time scholarships to dance in the US after catching the eye of directors when they competed in the Youth America Grand Prix in New York City earlier this year. At the time they were competing against dancers from China, Japan, Russia and France. Zoe will be heading to The Harid Conservatory in Miami, Florida, while Casey will be further north at The Rock School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It’s an achievement the girls have both worked very hard for. They dance 35 hours a week

at Wodonga’s Regional Academy of Performing Arts, have taken up distance education, and both have done intensive training programs in the US. The news was very exciting for the pair, who are now preparing to leave their families behind, and get their heads around the American education system, on top of making new friends, joining a new dance school, and adjusting to life abroad. “It was amazing, it’s such an honour to get to go to these schools,” Zoe said. The scholarship is a step in the future direction the girls hope to take to become professional dancers. While they still call the Border home, they see themselves staying overseas to pursue their dance dream. “There’s more opportunity overseas in the dance world,” Casey said.

Zoe Cavedon and Casey Wallis prepare to begin their journey of Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE dance in the USA. 143350 The news was also welcomed by the girls’ dance teachers Tim and Jennifer Podesta. “Both girls have been students of the Regional Academy of Performing Arts since a young age and it is so wonderful to see kids from regional areas grow up and match it with the best in the world,” Mr Podesta said. “Seeing Zoe and Casey do so

well also inspires other young dancers to follow in their footsteps and already we have students preparing to try to qualify for the YAGP finals for next year”. Zoe left for the US on weekend, and Casey follows in the next couple of weeks. Both have been training daily at RAPA in preparation for the next stage of their journey.

The high road of leadership By ERIN SOMERVILLE WHAT do you think of when you see a perfectly good hotel towering over Albury? Well, if you’re in the Australian Defence Force, the first thing to come to mind would be to jump off it. The Atura was turned into a practise abseiling ground on Friday morning for ADF personnel to overcome their inner fears and build as a team. The activity is part of a wing level training program aimed at increasing the soldier’s mental resilience, team work and stress management mechanisms. While the risk level with abseiling in this environment is quite low, as all the anchor points are tested and the equipment checked, it can still be a very nerve-racking descent seven storeys down into Dean Street. “The perceived risk to the participant however, is quite high, which makes this type of activity highly suitable for building resilience in our soldiers,” Major Brendon Sweeney said. “Abseiling forms a significant part of the ADF’s adventurous training techniques that utilise experiential learning to increase unit effectiveness by improving a soldier’s ability to function in an environment involving fear and consequence.” The exercise is also intended to build qualities such as leadership, resilience, teamwork, trust, physical and mental fortitude, courage, initiative, resourcefulness, self-discipline, risk

“Drawing on the theory of adventure-based learning, abseiling places participants in situations where there is fear and consequence, and facilitates transfer of the benefits of this experience to the workplace.”

Unique gift for every special Dad WE believe that every father is amazing - from the strong silent types to the helicopter hoverers, the dad that heaps unconditional love or gives you the nod of the head when you have done something good ... each and every one special in his own way. So this year, Animal Welfare League NSW says NO to the jocks and socks, rubbish to the robes and forget the food; waste the wallets, shred the slippers and cram the key rings, dump the deodorants and forget the fragrances. Every dad is special, so why not get him something unique to show your love on Father’s Day 6 September? An Animal Guardian Gift Card from Animal Welfare League NSW shows how much you care for your dad and for animals too - a gift that helps make a difference to our work with homeless and neglected cats and dogs. It’s just one easy step to get your dad a unique gift online. You will receive an Animal Guardian Gift card

Newspaper’s war effort impresses THE Albury Wodonga NewsWeekly has been recognised at a major awards event for media on Friday night. The publication made its mark at the Victorian Country Press Association Advertising Awards, winning the Best Adverting Feature award for its Anzac Souvenir edition “Anzac Day 100 Years Feature”. The judges deemed the publication as “classy, polished, professional, and most of all, insightful”.

Judges praised the sensitive and respectful layout treatment in keeping with the Anzac theme. “The layout allows the subject matter to tell its own story with poise and purpose. “It’s a great read and will probably be kept for its ageless and locally significant content, something the advertisers, who have also kept to the theme, will appreciate.” The newspaper also received a Com-

mended award in the Best Print Advertisement section for Margy Blomley’s ‘Johanna Mroz’ ad. This was the biggest category with 51 entries. “(This ad) was an outstanding example of quality merchandise being shown in a striking presentation format,” the judges noted. The 2015 Advertising Awards were presented on Friday at the Jasper Hotel, in Melbourne.

It’s time to get off the credit trap roundabout From ME bank ONE in two Australians are struggling with credit card debt. An Australian Senate inquiry is soon meeting to address some of thorny questions many Australians are asking about credit cards - like why some cards are still charging interest topping 20 per cent at a time when the Reserve Bank’s official cash rate is just 2.0 per cent. In fact, the inquiry couldn’t have come at a better time. Research by ME bank shows the top financial goal among the nation’s households is to pay off debt as fast as possible. Yet one in two credit card holders admit to being stuck in a ‘credit card roundabout’, unable to pay off the outstanding balance each month. These findings are worrying because real problems start to occur when credit cards become the mainstay of household finances. In particular, snowballing interest charges can make it increasingly difficult to clear the slate. Urgent action is essential WHILE it’s possible the senate inquiry will result in some changes to credit card offerings, it’s a process that will take time - if it happens at all. The critical thing is for anyone struggling with card debt to take action now. It pays to look closely at the fees and charges on your card. Expensive annual fees and hidden costs like a higher rate or fees associated for cash advances are easily over-

looked. Yet these all add to card costs. With a range of credit cards available that charge zero annual fees coupled with a single low rate, this is an opportunity to reduce your costs. Swing the pendulum in your favour Credit cards are a great cash management tool, but ideally you should be paying them off each month. Ultimately, getting - and staying - out of trouble with credit cards calls for a re-think of household money management. A sensible starting point is drawing up a budget. It’s a tremendously useful tool to regain control of money matters, yet around 57 per cent of Australians don’t consistently set a budget, and 40 per cent fail to stick to the budget they have. Part of the problem is that we tend to use ‘guesstimates’ for budget figures. The key to making a budget work is to track household expenses so that the numbers are realistic. Then commit to staying within set spending limits. For some of us the financial discipline of budgeting doesn’t come naturally. Setting up good processes can be helpful here. Arranging automatic transfers for example, is a foolproof way to ensure you are consistently setting some money aside for saving. With a pool of cash to fall back on, chances are you won’t need to resort to a credit card when bills arrive, and the financial pendulum can start to swing in your favour.

Be savvy with your savings HALF of Australian Gen Ys have less than $100 per week to spend on food and incidentals. A survey of over 1700 Australians aged 18-24 found that almost one in two (48 per cent) have only $300 or less to spend each month after rent and bills. The figures were released by EatNow.com.au, an online takeaway ordering platform popular with young Australians. The survey data found that in addition to having little cash to spend each month, 40 per cent of 18-24s have only a part-time or casual job. Matt Dyer, spokesperson for EatNow, says: “In our most recent survey of over 1000 under 25s, we found that 71 per cent said groceries are too expensive, and over half (53 per cent) have trouble affording organic and whole foods. We also found that one third of Aussie Gen Ys opt for things like home cleaners, taking their car to the car wash and using taxis on a weekly basis - so while they’re not rolling in cash, they’re certainly not struggling to make ends meet. They just have to be a bit creative when it comes to making their budget last longer.” The data shows that Gen Ys are actively seeking ways to be more frugal, with 60 per cent of them consistently using vouchers and promotions or coupons to stretch their budget further.

“I recommend always looking for bargains online first, as many places will not advertise deals instore. For example, EatNow offers discounts such as 50 per cent off when you order from a new restaurant for the first time, however these deals aren’t always available when you order directly with the restaurant.” With this in mind, EatNow offers 10 tips for thrifty living: 1. Scour buy-swap-sell sites. Moving out of home and in need of a study desk or extra lounge chair? You’d be surprised how many people are offering their unneeded furniture and other items for free on buy-swap-sell sites. If you’re willing to pick it up and give it a good home - it’s yours free of charge! 2. Use the amenities at work. Instead of wasting money on a printer and toner for all those university papers, concert tickets and resumes, print them out at work for free. Don’t work in an office or know anyone that does? You can print at your local library for as little as 10 cents a page. 3. Stick to the list. Shopping lists are perceived as something only soccer mums with four kids use, but they have the potential to save you a whole heap of cash. Write a list of things

you actually need before hitting the shops and stick to it strictly to avoid impulse buys - remember, there’s a huge difference between ‘need’ and ‘want’. Date night in. In EatNow’s recent survey, 50 per cent of under-24s said they spent more on food when in a relationship. Loved-up couples should take advantage of a romantic night in and use online takeaway sites like EatNow.com.au, which has an abundance of special offers and deals, plus delivery straight to your door. Switch banks. You don’t have to stick with the bank account your parents opened for you in primary school. Several banks now offer cash-back on pay pass or tap-and-go purchases as well as zero ATM fees - why would you pay to access your own cash when there are free options available? Light it up. Candles are a definite craze at the moment, but in addition to the heavenly aroma they give to a room, they also have the potential to save you money on your electricity bill double win! Get cash back. EatNow’s recent survey found that 71 per cent of under 24s postpone buying fashion items when money is tight. By using cash-back sites such as cashrewards.com.au, you not only have access to ex-

clusive discounts across your favourite retailers, but you receive cash back in your pocket for simply making a purchase. 8. Cut up your cosmetics. Do you spend a small fortune on good quality face moisturiser? When you think it’s empty and time to discard, think again. If you cut the tube open, there will be enough left on the sides to last you another week at least. Just remember - it all adds up over the space of a year. 9. Enforce Secret Santa. The Christmas period can be super pricey and it’s easy to blow your budget. Rather than buying each family member a gift, suggest Secret Santa instead - this way everyone only purchases one gift and you get the added thrill of not knowing who yours is from. Suggest the same for your workplace Christmas party and among your friendship circle and reap the benefits with your budget. 10. Buy home-brand drugs. Every chemist will have their own ‘home-brand’ drugs available at a cheaper price, even for prescriptions, so always ask the pharmacist for a generic drug instead that includes the same ingredients. Prescription medications including antibiotics aren’t the same price at every chemist - look for discount chemists.

Lisa’s loving life on the land By TANIA PHILLIPS FARMER Lisa McCabe still laughs when people do a double-take if she’s driving a big tractor down the road and they notice the ponytail hanging out the back of her cap. She’s probably not what most people think of when they hear the word “farmer” but while she mainly grew up in the city, being a farmer is what she has always wanted. And now in her forties, this mum couldn’t imagine wanting to do anything else. She and her husband have a small farm but she also works next door at the nearby dairy farm - a job she obviously loves. “When I was little, my pop had a dairy farm,” she said, admitting loving going out to help out. “I lived in the city most of my life but I’d always wanted to farm.” Instead though she worked in various jobs in retail and eventually working in a laboratory but when she was offered a redundancy from the lab four year’s back Lisa and her husband decided it was time to chase their dream. “After the redundancy I did a skilled training course learning to drive in earth-moving equipment, fork lifts, tractor driving,” Lisa said. “It was a six-month course aimed at maybe getting a job in the mines.” Instead, a job came up at the

dairy farm next door, and having helped out before and at other neighbours’ properties with the milking, it was an offer too good to turn down - particularly as it was a chance to work outside and to work with animals. “I work there five days a week with optional weekends - they are eight to 10 hour days,” she said. “But I love farming, it’s in the blood.” She must - she is up at 3.45am every weekday morning tending to “the girls”. “We have about 350 milking at the moment but there more - a lot are still calving - there are 600 mainly Friesians but some Jerseys,” she said. And when she’s not with “the girls” she’s sowing paddocks, plowing and irrigating. It’s a long way from working in a laboratory but Lisa says she wouldn’t go back now. “I wouldn’t swap it for an office or a laboratory,” she laughed. “I like working outside, I like the elements, I love animals - I love working with them.” And when she’s not working on the dairy she’s working on her own farm. “We have 100 acres and we run cattle and sheep,” she said. “It’s not really a money-making venture it’s more a hobby we do for fun.”

Lisa McCabe enjoys the challenges of life on the land. 143522

Services known far and wide WALWA Veterinary Practice is settled in the hills of the Upper Murray. With the tranquil Murray River running past, it’s a great location on the Border for both its NSW and Victorian clients. At Walwa Veterinary Practice, clients have peace-of-mind putting their beloved pets and valuable livestock in the hands of their four friendly and knowledgeable full-time vets. Principal vet Dr David Hall started the practice 25 years ago, and it’s still going strong today, with a great reputation in the local community. Walwa Veterinary Practice is a genuine mixed practice that treats large and small animals of every description, from guinea pigs to camels, and all in between. The vets also complete pregnancy testing, calving, bull testing and general well-being of livestock for large animals. The practice’s equine clinic began last year, and offers equine breeding and reproduction. The team also castrate colts and are able to deal with all horse injuries. The small animal component of the practice’s clinic is growing rapidly with routine desexing, vaccinating and microchipping, along with the general small animal sicknesses being treated, including parvovirus and injuries. Walwa Veterinary Practice also services a number of animal rescue groups who rescue dogs and cats from surrounding pounds, as well as pounds as far away as Lighting Ridge and Forbes. The dogs and cats are transported to Walwa to be desexed, vaccinated and microchipped then taken home to their foster carers to be rehomed. The good work of Walwa Veterinary Practice has spread far and wide. In April 2014, the practice opened another clinic at Tennant Creek in NT to service the Barkly Shire, which had been left without any veterinary services in their area. Vets from Walwa Veterinary Practice rotate from the Upper Murray to Tennant Creek on a monthly basis. This Tennant Creek branch (Barkly Vet Practice) also works with outlying areas to do bulk dog and cat desexing, and vaccinating programs. So the next time your animal is in need of a healthy, helping hand, visit Walwa Veterinary Practice.

More hatchback than sedan in appearance, the latest Mazda2 sedan has a sleek tail. give it a slightly different ambiance, it’s hard to describe so perhaps pop down to a dealer to get your own thoughts. There’s a stubby instrument binnacle in front of the driver with a large central dial and two smaller ‘wings’ either side of it. The centre dial is either a speedo or tacho depending on the model. The dash centre has one of two infotainment screens, a basic shallow one for the Neo and a deeper, 7.0-inch colour screen for the topline Maxx. The latter gives access to Mazda’s MZD Connect system, note that satellite navigation is an extra cost option, albeit at a modest charge of $570. Note that the upmarket Genki which sits a level up from the Maxx in the Mazda2 hatchback isn’t offered as a sedan; an apparently surprising decision that may, in our opinion, be reversed later. Under the skin, things are virtually identical in the Mazda2 sedan and hatch. Both are offered with a choice of two 1.5-litre four-cylinder engines. Power and torque outputs are very similar in the two engines: 79 kW and 139 Nm in the one called standard-spec engine that’s fitted to the Neo sedan, and 81 kW and 141 Nm in highspec unit in the Maxx. Basic numbers don’t always tell the full story, and during our initial test drives in the Adelaide region we felt the 79 kilowatt unit had enough power, but not a lot to spare. Whereas the 81 kW has a sense of purpose and was much nicer to sit behind, probably due to its more complex exhaust system. The 81 engine doesn’t exactly make the Mazda2 a sports machine, but its performance will suit most people.

Six-speed manual and sixspeed automatic transmissions are offered in all variants. We much preferred the manual for the control it gives you, but realise the majority of buyers will prefer the convenience of the automatic. The manual has short, easy gearshifts with a nice feel. Mazda2 is fitted with front and side airbags for the driver and front seat passenger and curtain airbags to protect the heads of occupants in the front and rear seats. Mazda tells us the side airbags are specially tuned to provide the best protection within the relatively short occupant-to-door distances of a small car and to reduce the possibility of contact with the door. Stylish, well priced and pleasant to drive, the new Mazda2 sedan looks like adding at least two to three thousand sales to the 100,000-plus that Mazda Australia looks set to score by the end of 2015.

MAZDA’S inexorable advance in Australia continues, growing in strength with each new model, the latest of which is a four-door sedan variant of the Mazda2 sedan. This joins the five-door hatch launched last November. Small hatches with a horizontal bootlid grafted to their rumps typically look so wrong that just about no-one buys them. So the designer of the Mazda2 sedan has penned it with a sloping tail to give it the appearance of an extended hatch. Well aware of the importance of style to its sales success, Mazda Australia invited the design chief, Shigeki Nakamura to meet the motoring media in Australia to explain his version of the company’s Kodo styling philosophy. The long nose and strong grille shape of the outgoing ‘2 sedan is unchanged, but Nakamura-san has shaved a little off the height at the rear of the cabin, to give the whole vehicle a sleeker look. That’s clever. Everything else being equal, sedans have more rigid bodies than hatches and, obviously, a much larger luggage area. A sedan’s body has added rigidity provided by the crossmember at the base of the rear window. And Mazda2 sedan’s luggage volume of 440 litres isn’t far short of some cars a couple of classes larger. The bigger boot has been achieved by extending the body by 260mm over that of the hatch. It sits on the same platform as the hatch, so the wheelbase is unchanged at a substantial 2570 mm. We are impressed with the boot hinging arrangement that lifts it up and out of the way for ease of loading. The big squared-off hole make every one of the 440 litres accessible. This boot holds two large suitcases, and can probably handle a pushbike with the front wheel removed. Rear seatbacks fold down for added versatility. In the cabin, there’s no real difference in styling between the Mazda2 sedan and hatch. However, the use of different materials in the two bodies does

Sonata has changed for the better trol. It probably rolls a little more than the keen driver would like but it’s an immensely comfortable and quiet car to tackle the morning commute. One black mark, almost literally, are the headlights. They are so meek we have to keep checking they’ve been turned on. It’s a great pity they’re like this because Hyundai headlights are generally good. Other details that have been sorted are the stability and traction controls. Again, older Hyundais chopped the power to the wheels as soon as any slip was detected, sometimes hanging you out to dry. Turning off the traction control became part of the startup routine because it was too vicious. The new Sonata is a lot more finessed, with a little bit of slip allowed before a gentle intervention. The traction control stays on even when there’s some fun to be had (there has so far been little opportunity) but we’ve certainly come to enjoy having 180 kW underfoot, noticing some mild torque steer when booted. SUMMING UP 3.5/5 Minor niggles aside, it’s been a great start with our new car. The neighbours, while used to the parade of metal on the driveway have taken a keen interest, asking which Audi it is. Imagine their surprise when they’re told it’s a Hyundai. LIKES: Strong engine, great looks, huge space. DISLIKES: Unfinished infotainment system, no stop-start, headlight strength.

By PETER ANDERSON IT’S okay, it’s okay, hush now - things have changed. Hyundai has dusted off the nameplate it put out to pasture after adorning a series of fairly unspectacular midsized sedans, whipping off the covers of a much more attractive and capable car to take on a segment dominated by Toyota’s recently perked-up Camry, with Mazda’s 6 some way behind. The Sonata joins the i40 (which, oddly, is known as Sonata in the US) in the local range, offering two very different-looking cars in roughly the same segment. Confused? Don’t be. They’re quite different. The new Sonata range is spearheaded by the entry-level Active at $29,990 and topped by the $41,990 Premium. Sandwiched between the two at $36,990 is the Elite that will grace our driveway for the next few months. Your money buys you a six-speaker stereo with DVD player, Bluetooth and USB, dual-zone climate control, 17-inch alloys, cruise control, sat-nav, electric driver’s seat adjustment, automatic headlights and wipers, keyless entry and start, entirely convincing fake leather seats, front and rear parking sensors with rear view camera, full-size spare. Hyundai Sonata shares its design language with the very impressive Genesis, with buckets of Germanic influence, which makes sense given the head of design is Peter Schreyer. Finish, particularly the paint, is up there

Hyundai has resurrected the Sonata nameplate. with the Genesis too. The sharp creases cut through flatter, less curvy sheetmetal than the rest of its stablemates and the gentle arc of the roofline has a lot of Audi A5 in it, ending in a short deck. The boot itself is gigantic and as you work your way forward, space is a recurring theme. The rear seat has limo-like space if not a particularly luxurious bench seat, but three adults will fit side by side, with plenty of leg-room but not a lot of personal hip space. The distinctive headlights and daytime running lights give Hyundai Sonata a strong new face, along with the corporate Hyundai grille. It’s an assured design and is as subtly detailed as any Hyundai. We’ve gotten used to the Korean company’s offerings looking good, now we’re starting to see a real maturity with this new direction. Inside isn’t quite as assured as the exterior. The dash structure is a bit of a cliff and again draws on the interior design of the Genesis. It doesn’t hang together as well as the exterior, but the materials are good with mostly good fit.

As the youngest member of the family continues to test the upper limits of every rear seat that arrives on the driveway, it’s nice to get in and not hear complaints from the rear seat about leg-room. The Sonata lands with six airbags, ABS, brake assist, traction and stability controls and scored five ANCAP stars. Hyundai’s software boffins have been a bit hit and miss over the years. The better examples tend to be found in the lower, Active models where there’s less ambition. It all works, but sometimes it doesn’t activate after having to agree not to crash while using it. It sometimes forgets to find your phone and, embarrassingly, there’s a few typos. The Sonata is powered by the company’s own Theta II four-cylinder turbo. It’s a strong unit with 180 Kw (!) of power and 350 Nm of torque. It’s mated to the Korean company’s own six-speed automatic. Sadly, it’s missing stop-start which is starting to look more unfortunate

as more and more companies use this emission reducing system. The claimed fuel consumption on the combined cycle is 9.2 litres per 100km and as we’re still running it in, we’re seeing 10.9 L/100km, which isn’t bad considering the outputs. It’s slowly sinking, but without that stop-start, it’s unlikely to get too much lower. We’ll see. We’ve been most impressed with the Sonata straight off the bat. The first impression is one of impressive refinement. Some of Hyundai’s petrol engines have a habit of sounding a little coarse under load but this one barely makes a peep, even when revving. The transmission has always been a good one, and handles the duties of moving the 1645 kg Sonata about. There’s also been a huge improvement in the driving dynamics. A rigorous program by the Australian suspension team has seen the Sonata’s road manners elevated above the usual tunes we used to have to put up with. While this isn’t a hard-riding sportster, an excellent balance has been struck between comfort, grip and con-

well-run meetings, hosting a round of the Victorian motocross championships and a round of the Riverina Golden Wheels dirt track series. Both meetings were run in a very professional manner and provided some great racing for spectators, and some stand-out performances from local riders. The end of August also heralds the start of a couple of busy months for us at the shop with Henty Field Days coming up in late September, and with the promise of a good year for our pri-

mary producers, it’s going to be very hectic, getting bikes ready and setting up. October is flat out with our Triumph demo day and Border Bike fest locally, and not forgetting the Moto GP at Phillip Island, followed the next weekend by a round of the World Speedway Championship at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium. It’s going to be an exciting time to be involved. I also can’t stress strongly enough to all of you riders that have had their bikes in winter hibernation to give

your bike a good once-over before you head out to enjoy the better conditions coming. Check the battery, tyre pressures and oil and coolant levels and make sure your fuel is fresh and your chain and cables lubed. A basic quick check over like this can save a heap of disappointment, or worse. Until next month safe riding everyone!

Lilly), to become Ant-Man. Ant-Man’s main mission is to defeat Darren Cross (Corey Stoll) who becomes Yellowjacket in order to save the world. The fight scene between Ant-Man and Yellowjacket may seem small, but in a strange way escalates into quite an epic battle. Although it appears humorous with the use of simple props such as a toy train, as a viewer you can still sense there is a risk of failure and loss. The fact that such props can be used just adds to the character of Ant-Man. Rudd’s performance as AntMan was a home run consider-

SURCHARGE APPLIES

ing many of his roles are either a hit or miss. He seemed to fit the role well with his sharp sense of humour. Rudd’s projection also seemed to flow well with the supporting actors. It was easy to believe that this was in fact Ant-Man. All in all, Ant-Man is a fun yet mediocre superhero film for all ages, especially if you’re a fan of the Marvel cinematic universe. Ant-Man has an unrealistic plot - but so do the majority of superhero films and it is definitely worth a watch, even if it is just for the sneak peek at Captain America: Civil War. - Chloe Allison

ANT-MAN, being one of Marvel’s least anticipated films, was a surprisingly satisfactory superhero film. Although many fans would have preferred a Black Widow movie exploring the depths of Natasha Romanoff, Ant-Man will just have to fill the void until that wish comes true. Based on the marvel comics, Ant-Man follows the story of witty ex-con Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) as he is released from prison. Scott tries to find honest work so his ex-wife will allow him to spend time with his young daughter. Unfortunately, even with a degree, Scott can’t seem to escape his criminal record and falls back into the crime scene. He, along with three other unlawful friends plan to break into an old man’s vault in his home while he is away. There, Scott finds the suit. When Scott is alone he tries on what he thinks is an odd-looking motorcycle suit and shrinks. The old man then makes contact. When Scott tries to return the suit he is arrested. The old man, Dr Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) helps Scott escape his cell and makes him a proposition. Scott then works alongside Hank and his daughter Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline

Big demand for space THE desire for space is driving growth in the price of larger homes in regional Victoria in the year to 30 June. Three and four-bedroom houses increased by 5.8 per cent and 4.9 per cent respectively over the past 12 months. The location that saw the highest bedroom median was Gisborne where four-bedroom homes increased 8.8 per cent over the year to a median of $608,000 - the highest in regional Victoria. This was followed by fourbedroom houses in Ocean Grove, up two per cent to a median of $577,500, and four-bedroom homes in Highton which rose 1.4 per cent to $527,500. Four-bedroom houses in Alfredton near Ballarat increased 5.1 per cent over the year to a median of $410,000

while three-bedroom homes in Geelong West ($492,500), Ocean Grove ($471,250), Highton ($451,250), Kyneton ($407,600), Belmont ($390,000) and Bendigo ($382,500) made up the top 10 most expensive regional centres over the year. The latest REIV data only includes suburbs which had 50 sales or more over the year. When this criterion is excluded, Barwon Heads was the most expensive suburb in regional Victoria with a four-bedroom median price of $835,000 and a three-bedroom median price of $735,000, up more than 15 per cent over the year. The popular surf coast location reached an overall median price of $811,000 in the June quarter, significantly higher than the metro Melbourne me-

dian of $706,000. Other regional centres performing well, but with less than 50 sales, are Point Lonsdale with a June quarterly median of $647,000, Woodend with a $605,000 median and Macedon with a median of $590,000. The majority of these regional centres benefit from their location - either on the coast or surrounded by natural forest, yet still relatively close to Melbourne. Regional Victoria is also home to the state’s most affordable locations, especially for three-bedroom homes. The data, available free on our website reiv.com.au, offers valuable comparisons for buyers because it provides further analysis of median prices for homes across the state.

Home is still where the heart is THE great Australian dream is still alive and well, with nine out of 10 Australians still aspiring to own their own home, according to a study commissioned by NRMA Insurance. The study ‘Celebrating Our Home’ reveals what homes mean to Australians and what it is that makes a house a home. Across age groups and ethnicities, when it comes to home 82 per cent say it is the family, or the people they share a house with, that make a house feel like a home while a further 78 per cent said their furniture was an integral part of making the space feel like their own. NRMA Insurance Head of Marketing Jane Merrick said; “We commissioned this unique study because we wanted to better understand what homes really mean to Australians. What we found is that for most

of us creating a home is less about the building itself and more about an emotional connection.” “Above all, home is still where the heart is and a sense of belonging, safety and security are the main things that make a house feel like home.” Social researcher Mark McCrindle said: “We’re a contented nation because whether we own or rent our homes, two thirds of us (65 per cent) state that we love our homes.” Despite the perception of an ‘always-on’ culture of overachievement, technological distractions and16 hour work days, almost half of all Australians still find the time to eat together at least once per day with an astounding four in five eating together at least once per week. Meals are most often shared

at the dining table (45 per cent) or in the lounge room (34 per cent). “It’s warming to see that despite Australians’ increasingly busy lifestyles, people are still finding time to sit down together and enjoy each other’s company and share their news from the day. We are a house proud nation with the majority of Australians (96 per cent) prioritising time in their busy lives to keep their homes clean. As many as four in five Aussies made changes to their home since moving in. The kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home, however according to the research the living or lounge room (47 per cent), followed by the bedroom (19 per cent) are seen to be the most important rooms in the home.

claim the points 17.18 (120) to 9.10 (64). It was a goal-kicking spree for North Albury with Kristian Cary, Nick Holman, Joshua Lloyd and Jordan Harrington all kicking three each for the game. Meanwhile, Senta O’hAilpin kicked 10 for the game as competition leaders Albury bounced back from their loss to Lavington last week with a decisive 90-point victory over their 2014 grand final opponents Yarrawonga. Fifth-placed Yarrawonga proved no match for an on-fire Tigers outfit at the Albury Sports ground with the home side kicking 25.10 (160) to 10.10 (70) to put last week’s loss well and truly behind them. O’hAilpin has now kicked 55 for the year and was well assisted on the day by Chris Hyde who kicked five. The giant killing Lavington continued on their winning way with a solid victory over Wangaratta Rovers 21.12 (138) to 8.6 (54) while Wodonga Raiders proved too strong for Corowa-Rutherglen 16.15 (111) to 10.5 (65). The final round of matches will see (home team first) Yarrawonga play Wodonga Raiders, Wodonga face Lavington, Corowa-Rutherglen at home to North Albury, Myrtleford host Wangaratta and Wangaratta Rover face the might of Albury. Ladder: Albury 64, Lavington 56, Wodonga Raiders 48, North Albury 44, Yarrawonga 36, Wodonga 24, Wangaratta 24, Corowa-Rutherglen 20, Wangaratta Rovers 12, Myrtleford 12.

SPRING arrived in earnest this weekend, and while the magpies are just warming up their swooping routines, the racing in the local region was hot and showcasing the best in Australia. Local riders mixed it with the elite of Australian cycling at a true spring classic run from the Sam Miranda Winery in the King Valley. The Bended Elbow Cycling Team tasted success on multiple levels over the weekend. A major goal for the team is to support young riders to transition to the National Road Series (NRS) level which is the highest grade of domestic racing in Australia. Thirty teams compete in the series around Australia, and this weekend the Sam Miranda winery supported a four stage tour consisting of a time trial, criterium and two road stages. The Saturday stage is known as the strade nero, or black gravel road as the race through the upper King Valley and hills behind Whitfield, takes in four dirt sections including a 6km black gravel climb. Two of the young Bended Elbow riders, Declan Gregory and Gerard Wild both made their NRS debut with guest rides on the Swiss Wellness Cycling Team. The 100-plus peloton included the cream of local Australian cycling, and on the queen stage covering four distinct dirt sec-

Bended Elbow team in the early break.

Masters B Grade early break featured two Bended Elbow riders. tions, riders and spectators were not disappointed. Both Declan Gregory and Gerard Wild, finished in the second group, just two minutes down on the German winner Michael Schweizer, who narrowly beat tour leader Patrick Bevan, a rider who has just signed a deal with the Cannondale Garmin squad to ride at the pro tour level in 2016. Two other local riders participated in NRS teams, with young Ryan Allen riding strongly in the criterium for the Seight team, and Albury’s experienced Timmy Guy, from Search2 Retain, unfortunately crashing out on the final dirt section

on Saturday and breaking his collar bone. We wish him a fast recovery. In the lower grades, local riders delivered consistent results from the time trial on Friday through to Sunday’s handicap race held for non NRS competitors. The Bended Elbow tasted success with Angus Harris picking up first place in the C Grade time trial, and Mat Hamblin third in the B Grade. On the Saturday, Nathan Tooley won the King of the Mountains in the B Grade open race. The Masters B Grade featured five Bended Elbow riders, plus local cyclist Lachlan Hutchins. Paul Ingwersen

and Craig McMillan made the early break, requiring other teams to chase and giving an armchair ride to their team members. On the main climb, they were passed by the main bunch while the remnants of the early break stayed up the road. Eventually, Lachlan Hutchins and three others bridged across, on the long flat roads down the King Valley, and in a six-way sprint, Lachlan picked up one of his best results with a third place, and Angus Harris lead in the main bunch.To cap off a strong weekend, the Full Cycle’s Stephen Kilpatrick picked up third place on the Sunday handicap which covered a tough course including both Taminick and Ryan’s gaps over the Warby ranges. All up, a mix of warmer weather, sunshine, great hospitality at the Sam Miranda winery and some hard and enjoyable racing through some of the most scenic country in Victoria. What a weekend.

North Albury, Albury win thrillers By TANIA PHILLIPS NORTH Albury have held on to defeat Myrtleford in the weekend round of Ovens and Murray Netball action. Playing at Bunton Park, North Albury’s home ground, the local team held on to defeat

the visitors 45-35. Meanwhile at Albury, the home team won a thriller over Yarrawonga 39-38 while Lavington proved too strong for Wangaratta Rovers beating them convincingly 73 to 34 at Lavington Sports Oval. Wodonga were also big win-

ners, travelling to Wangaratta’s Norm Minns Oval to beat the local team 75-51. In the remaining game of this round, Wodonga Raiders, at home to Corowa Rutherglen, proved just a little too strong, defeating the visitors 48-41.

Going for goal. Chloe Senior and Amber Quirk going for goal.
