Tour of dutyBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

SINCE Albury councillor Graham Docksey took the reins as Albury RSL president, one issue in particular has played on his heart and mind.

This month, this issue will finally come to light when the Albury RSL calls out to young veterans in a bid to break down the barriers of age, draw in the younger veteran community and offer assistance – especially to those suffering post-traumatic stress disor-der (PTSD).

Only last week, the Australian De-fence Force released figures showing this year’s suicide toll brings the num-ber of suspected or confirmed suicides to 85 since Australia entered Iraq - more than double the number of Aus-tralian troops killed in combat.

Currently, there is no mandatory re-porting of suspected suicides of former soldiers. Experts suspect the toll could be much higher.

Further statistics show 780 defence personnel showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome over the past three years. In Cr Docksey’s mind, this is all the more reason for our local community to reach out to the 90-odd young veterans locally who could be suffering.

“We don’t want them to suffer the same thing we Vietnam vets suffered from,” he said.

“We want to open our doors. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are, the situation is the same.”

Due to privacy laws the veterans cannot be contacted, but the message is still clear.

“I’m trying to get back to what the RSL is all about and that is the welfare

and the needs of our veteran and ex-service community,” Cr Docksey said.

“I’ve done a lot of things in my life and after 46 years in the army, having worked in army community service, I understand the system doesn’t always provide for you and the difficulties friends of mine have had with DVA (Department of Veteran Affairs) and similar organisations.”

The Younger Veterans Forum on Sunday 27 October is hoping to attract visits from the national president and state president of the RSL, as well as providing stands from the DVA and veterans/veterans family counselling services.

Among the sea of support will also be Lance-Corporal Matthew Maw, a 41-year-old veteran, PTSD sufferer and advocate for getting young veter-ans back into their local RSL.

L-Cpl Maw served in East Timor in December 2000 – June 2001, was post-ed to Perth in 2003 and in Afghanistan in 2006.

“I was at Tarin Kowt in Afghanistan and I looked after the guys’ vehicles,” he said.

“You see some pretty horrible stuff and some things happened…

“You’re always anxious and on the

go, not sleeping, getting agitated. For the first three months we were there we were working 18 hours a day. It wasn’t uncommon, if you had to go to another base, to get small arms fire.

“The thing that hurt me the most was I lost a friend. He died back in Australia in a car accident. I was al-ready in a fragile state of mind and the worst thing was that I couldn’t get to

the funeral because I was still in the army.

“It’s hard coming home. We would come out of country and have a psych interview but there would be 20 people in the waiting room. At that time you didn’t know if you had problems – you were going home, you were happy, the cracks don’t seem to appear until later.

Curves fight By KRYSTEN MANUEL

CURVES in both Albury and Wodonga have again put up their hands in support of the Cancer Council’s Pink Ribbon Day.

From 14-26 October the clubs will waive their usual joining fee of $149 when any donation is made to the Cancer Council’s I Heart Pink cam-paign - even a simple gold coin donation is wel-come.

The club will also run a series of events and initiatives throughout the month, including host-ing a Girls Night In party and selling Pink Ribbon Day merchandise.

“On 18 October from 7-9pm we’re hosting a Girls Night In party,” Curves Wodonga manager Rebecca Allard said.

“We’re going to have Tupperware, Bodyshop, Nutrimetics, Avon and a designer clothing label. We will also have some professionals out to show ladies how to check their breasts.

“Our members are pumped, they can’t wait. They’ve taken some brochures home and their family members are coming as well.”

The aim is to raise funds for vital breast and gynaecological cancer research, prevention and support services during Breast Cancer Awareness month.

This year, Curves clubs across Australia are striving to meet the fund-raising goal of $250,000.

“Curves clubs have been fund-raising for Cancer Council for the past seven years and have raised more than $1.4 million,” Ms Allard said.

“The funds raised have helped Cancer Coun-cil’s work in women’s cancer research, preven-tion and support services for Australians affected by cancer.

“One of these services is Breast Cancer Con-nect, where a newly diagnosed patient is paired with a volunteer cancer survivor to ease them through their cancer journey.

“Excess weight, lack of physical activity and unhealthy diet are among the most preventable causes of the disease.

“It is our hope that this month local women

are motivated enough to come through our doors and take those first steps towards leading a more cancer-smart lifestyle.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Australia, with one in eight being diag-nosed by the age of 85.

“We are proud to support Cancer Council’s in-valuable work which supports countless women affected by cancer in Australia each year.”

Curves Wodonga has proven to be a key player in local fund-raising, having just held their first clothes swap to benefit Wodonga Hospital, the Women’s Refuge and members.

Members brought in items of clothing they wish to swap and paid a gold coin donation for each item.

“Our ladies were losing so much weight, so I said ‘bring the clothes in then’,” Ms Allard said.

“We raised $57 for the hospital and the rest of the clothes went to the women’s refuge. They were so excited, I thought they were going to cry, it was beautiful.

“We were supposed to do it for a week but we did it for three weeks! They loved it so much they want to do it every few months.”

For more information, call Curves Wodonga on 0260 565 890 or 0260 458 524, or visit www.curves.com.au

Curves Wodonga manager Rebecca Allard is hoping to attract 50 women to the Girls Night In this month.

EditorialVeterans should seize the supportTYPICALLY, when people think of RSLs, young veterans don’t spring to mind.

But people like Albury RSL president Graham Docksey are working to change this, and for good reason.

RSLs aren’t just a place for the public to go to have a cheap meal.

They’re not just a place for old men to get together and talk about war.

They’re an invaluable place for people to network, support and encourage each other - especially the young vets of our community.

With so many of our men coming home from overseas, having been surrounded by death and violence, this is the perfect time for the older generation to step up and lend a hand.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is exactly the same as it was when the troops came back from Vietnam, and while modern day soldiers have a world of support to come home to in comparison, the system is still difficult to navigate, especially when you’re suffering.

Around Australia, there are whispers that not all RSL clubs are as receptive to their younger vets as they should be - an attitude that feeds the stereotype.

But Albury is lucky to have a club presi-dent that leads its older members to wel-come young vets so readily, understanding the importance of mentorship and support.

So young vets - grab this opportunity with both hands!

Tour of dutyFrom Page 1

“I knew I had a problem when I got out of the army and was working for John Deere. I had to drive a long way to do ser-vices and I found I was just crying and cry-ing ...

“I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2008 and I had a breakdown in 2009.

“I ended up in hospital and did a course for PTSD for about five months. I was ac-tually married with four kids. Our relation-ship broke down so I moved out and was by myself suffering PTSD, it was pretty bad.

“I was very low, I had a lot of struggles with DVA, just trying to get recognised and get help which is a long and arduous task.

“The journey is like an insurance claim, almost. You have to give information and have witnesses for things that happened and nearly put a case forward. I couldn’t see my kids and I battled for over three years. It’s only just now I’m able to see them.”

L-Cpl Maw has now made himself a tool to encourage younger veterans to not only seek the help they need, but seek help through their local RSL, who will welcome them with open arms.

“I want to help the younger guys to re-alise that help is there and networking is probably the best thing you can do,” he said.

“It’s bridging the gap between the older and younger vets, learning what help is out there and not getting lost, which is easy to do.”

The Younger Veterans forum is open to veterans, their families and friends and will be held at Anzac House, 527 Wilson Street Albury, Sunday 27 October from 9.30am until lunch.

First deathBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

THE first death on NSW roads for the long weekend was recorded in North Al-bury last Friday night.

53-year-old Kim Mitselburg of Thur-goona died when he lost control of his Har-ley Davidson motor-cycle around a corner, heading east on Fallon Street.

He leaves behind Lynn, his wife of al-most 30 years, two daughters Chelsea, 28, and Casey, 24, and granddaughter Ruby, 11 months.

Police have con-firmed Mr Mitselburg crashed into a fence and died at the scene. A passing truck driver discovered the crash and contacted emer-gency services, with police from Albury Local Area Command attending the scene.

A crime scene was established and exam-ined by forensic offi-cers.

Investigations into the circumstances sur-rounding the crash are continuing and police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

Riding against povertyBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

CAREVAN has put up their hand for Anti-Pov-erty Week from 13-19 October with their annual Carevan Anti-Poverty Ride, this time in memory of one particular tireless volunteer, Marg Fisher.

“Marg Fisher was a volunteer for Carevan since its inception,” Carevan’s Jodie Tiernan said.

“We held our first anti-poverty week bike ride three years ago and she was very much a part of that. She was a fantastic volunteer that just gave everything she had back to the community.

“The first bike ride was successful but unfor-tunately Marg passed away the weekend before the second bike ride.

“All her family were still in mourning but they still came along to the bike ride. They were griev-ing but they wanted to play their part because our whole vision is to unite in the fight againstpoverty.

“I thought it would be quite fitting if we could do our ride in memory of Marg Fisher this year.”

The day includes four different rides for all levels of fitness. The family ride is 8km, leaving from Hovell Tree Park and goes to Wonga Wet-lands and back. There is also a 52km Jindera ride, 110km Walla ride and 137km Walbundrie ride.

“When everyone gets back to Hovell Tree Park we have lots of things going on including enter-tainment, refreshments – Daryl from Sweethearts is providing pizza,” Ms Tiernan said.

“It’s a great chance for everyone to get out and be aware of what’s going on in our community.”

Carevan actively aims to diminish poverty in the Albury Community, not only by providing meals for those in need, but by building relation-ships with the people they service.

“Carevan isn’t just about going and dumping a meal, it’s about sitting down at a table, getting to know them, seeing if we can assist them to make positive life choices and letting them know what services are available along the way,” Ms Tiernan said.

“All the funds raised go towards Carevan and us helping those less fortunate living in our com-munity but it’s also time to get Carevan over to Wodonga and hit the streets to help those families in need.

“We’ll use the van we have so we can go there one night a week next term, but we will put funds we get from the bike ride towards getting another van.”

Anti-Poverty Week is an expansion of the UN’s annual International Anti-Poverty Day on October 17.

The week has grown to become an important week for advocacy and education.

Last year, figures from the Australian Council of Social Services showed that 2.2 million Aus-tralians live below the poverty line, with one in six children growing up in poverty.

Michael Perusco, CEO St Vincent de Paul Society NSW and NSW Co-Chair of Anti-Pov-erty Week says the face of poverty in Australia is changing.

“We have moved away from the definition of poverty as solely a measure of income and now looking at a range of indicators for social inclu-sion such as access to health services, education, employment opportunities and public transport, which many Australians do not have,” he said.

For more information or to register for the Carevan Anti-Poverty Ride in Memory of Marg Fisher, visit www.antipovertyweekbikeride.com

Mark Hore, Steve Kilpatrick and Declan Gregory are already in the spirit of the ride with their Carevan jerseys at The Full Cycle.

Sticking their necks outTHE Department of Environ-ment and Primary Industries (DEPI) is reminding motorists travelling through regional Vic-toria to keep their eyes out for freshwater turtles during their breeding season.

“Spring and early summer is the traditional start of the breed-ing season for two of our com-mon freshwater turtle species,” DEPI’s Arthur Rylah Institute ecologist Katie Howard said.

“They have begun to move about, making them particularly vulnerable to being hit by cars.”

“Roads that run through or beside Victorian wetlands, riv-ers and lakes may have common long-necked turtles (Chelodina longicollis) and Murray River

turtles (Emydura macquarii) crossing them over the next two months and we’d ask drivers to keep an eye out.

“The freshwater turtles will be searching for appropriate nesting sites, so this is the time they are at the greatest risk of being hit by cars. The common long-necked turtle is the most active and tends to move around the landscape more.

“Turtles are long-lived and some of these animals will be over 30 years of age. It can take some species 10 years to reach maturity, so it is important they are able to nest successfully and are not interfered with.”

If you see a turtle while you are driving, the DEPI asks you

to slow down to avoid hitting them, don’t touch them unless it is to move them off the road in the direction they were already travelling, do not take them home as pets, and do not let domestic animals such as dogs attack them.

“All our freshwater turtle species are protected and it is illegal to take them from the wild,” Ms Howard said.

“The only time we would suggest handling one is if it has been seriously injured and needs to be taken to an accred-ited wildlife carer for treatment, or if you are moving it off the road and out of harm’s way.”

Anyone finding injured wildlife should call RACV Wildlife Connect on 131 111.

Keep your eyes peeled for turtles on the roads.

Call goes out to veteransBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

BORDER veterans are being called to participate in two ac-tivities for Veterans’ Health Week from 14-20 October.

The week provides an op-portunity for veterans, war widows, widowers, current and ex-Australian Defence Force members and their families to participate, connect and influ-ence the health and well-being of themselves and their friends.

DVA will be partnering with ex-service organisations and community groups to develop a program of fun and interactive VHW activities at a local level.

This year’s theme is Physi-cal Activity - Fitness, Strength, Flexibility, and Balance.

Across the country, a range of activities will focus on key messages of the week, includ-ing find the strength, develop the flexibility, maintain the bal-ance, and enjoy the fitness.

“A number of us from the Albury RSL sat down and talked about how we’re going to implement this and I decided we would lead the first event,” Albury RSL President Graham Docksey said.

“The Murray River is part of Albury Wodonga, it’s a great venue, and I thought I’d get a historian to talk about parts of

the Murray and some of the iconic landmarks around there, for example the Hovell Tree, Oddies Creek, Oddies Park.

“We then have a fellow to come and talk about exercise programs, then we will have a healthy meal back at the RSL.

“It’s an opportunity for peo-ple to socialise and learn a bit more about their local history.”

The second event of the week includes two games at Al-bury Tenpin Bowl followed by afternoon tea at Legacy House.

“To cover costs, because it’s $18 for two games, we’re ask-ing $5 from participants and that includes the game and their shoes,” Murray Border Asso-

ciation Vietnam Veterans’ presi-dent Gary Treeve said.

Both Mr Docksey and Mr Treeve have high hopes for the events, which will hopefully at-tract large groups.

“Graham and I were over at the Veterans Affairs Office in Wodonga the other day and we folded up 1234 invitations and posted them all out!” Mr Treeve said. The Murray River walk is on Monday 14 October from 10am, meeting at the Hovell Tree in Noreuil Park Albury.

The tenpin bowling will be at Albury Tenpin Bowl from noon. Participants are asked to book their place by phoning 0407 480 201.

Seniors should stay happyTHIS week (6-13 October) is the Victorian Seniors Festival, which is a great time to focus on the role of older people in our community and the wonderful contribution they make.

Beyondblue also want to remind people that as they get older, they don’t have to put up with depression and anxiety - and people shouldn’t think it ‘goes with the territory’.

Research shows that older people experience higher rates of depression than the general pop-ulation, but ageing itself doesn’t cause depression or anxiety.

While exact rates are un-known, research by the National Ageing Research Institute sug-gests between 10 to 15 per cent of older people living in the com-munity experience depression.

Frail older people, those liv-ing with chronic conditions, and those needing a high level of home help are even more at risk of developing depression and anxiety.

Research also shows that a quarter of older people wrongly think depression is a normal part of ageing, over two-thirds believe

it’s embarrassing to admit to hav-ing depression, and significantly fewer Australians over 65 recog-nise depression as a major men-tal health issue compared with younger people.

“These figures highlight the importance of raising aware-ness among older people about the symptoms of depression and anxiety, and making seniors aware that their GP can advise on treatments that work,” CEO of beyondblue Kate Carnell said.

“When you’re older, you can be more likely to develop de-pression and anxiety because of physical health problems, loss of independence and self-worth, loss of relationships and social isolation.”

If you are feeling down and sad, can’t be bothered participat-ing in activities you once enjoyed or you’re having unexplained aches and pains, these could all be signs of depression or anxiety.

Older people shouldn’t think depression just ‘goes with the territory.’

Veterans are being urged to get out and get active during Veterans’ Health Week, 14-20 October.

Don’t let grass seeds get you downNORTHERN Victorian sheep pro-ducers should be preparing their spring and summer grass seed man-agement strategies to help minimise the negative impact of grass seeds on their flocks.

Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) district veterinary officer Jim Walsh said strategies to reduce the impact of grass seed contamination of sheep and their wool should include pas-ture management, breed selection, animal management and fleece prep-aration.

“In Victoria, grass seeds usually affect sheep during late summer and autumn,” Dr Walsh said.

Common problem grass variet-ies in northern Victoria include bar-ley grass (Hordeum), and Stipa and Erodium commonly known as cork-screw.

“Eyes can be infected and seen to be inflamed or closed; the affected sheep will become listless or unwill-ing to move freely since they can’t see properly,” Dr Walsh said.

“Some may show skin irritation and can be seen trying to scratch or rub because the seeds are penetrating their skin.”

Dr Walsh said it was important for producers to develop an aware-ness of the impacts of grass seed to

the wool and meat industry. Trim-ming and quality downgrades at the abattoirs means lower prices to the producer and seed in wool means lower returns.

“By monitoring your flocks for seed infestation plus seeking feed-back from meat processors and wool traders, producers will be able to measure the size of the impact from grass seeds,” he said.

“It’s important not to underesti-mate the negative effect that grass seed contamination can have on your flock’s productivity.”

Once producers have identified problem grasses, a management plan should be put in action.

Dr Walsh said different grazing strategies could have both short and long-term results. Increased stock density rates for short-term heavy stocking could help reduce problem grass infestations and feedlotting can avoid contamination.

“Livestock management strat-egies include strategic timing of lambing and shearing,” he said.

“Agronomic management can be applied using pasture manipulation, fodder crops and fodder conserva-tion and timing of marketing and turn-off can assist reducing infesta-tions.”

Prepare your spring and summer grass seed management strategies and help minimise the impact on flocks.

Down to weatherAS ONE actor says to another as they prepare for the performance of a life-time - ‘break a leg.’

DEPI’s Chris Sounness describes this season as shaping up like a theatre performance.

“In autumn the hard work was ahead. There were just the memories of past performances and little insight on how it could all look,” he said.

“The dry start meant the ’read throughs’ were very subdued and who to pick and why, was quite difficult.

“Choices made in April and the hard work turned into having some potential. With the coming of winter this potential started to look like some-thing that was coming together.

“August and the hard grind of re-hearsal kicked in. Management deci-sions were being made with the di-

lemma of the potential upside of more rain coming, the reality of very little subsoil moisture, or the expectation that making decisions around an aver-age spring is best.

“Early September and many crops started to come under pressure and questions started to be asked. “Was this performance going to be like a Shakespeare tragedy?”

In the past week or so there have been great rains throughout most of Victoria and with them, a real sense of optimism.

“We are at the stage of the season for most people where all the choices are made and the weather and climate become the main determinant of the final performance,” Mr Sounness said.

“The next eight to 10 weeks are like a dress rehearsal and the actors’

concept of break a leg sits at front of mind.

“Some good luck from here on in and this could be, for many, a per-formance which will get a standing ovation from all concerned. Family, friends and community are all wishing farmers, ‘break a leg’.

“While every season is a drama, a happy ending (like a good Disney fairytale) is far more appealing than a performance of Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet. Even though the writing is far stronger in the latter. Mind you, no matter what the season is like, the tri-als and tribulations of family interac-tions always provide a bit of drama, especially around the assumptions and unsaid.

“Here’s hoping for a Cinderella story in 2013.”

“We are at the stage of the season for most people where all the choices are made and the weather and climate become the main determinant of the final performance,” Mr Sounness said.

Country Hope to benefitRIVERINA charity Country Hope is set to benefit to the tune of more than $30,000 raised at this year’s Henty Machinery Field Days, thanks to the gen-erosity of two regional busi-nesses.

Farm machinery dealer Hutcheon and Pearce donated $500 from the sale of every spe-cial anniversary edition tractor sold over the field days, while Coles raised $12,800 from a community barbecue at Henty.

The 6150M Anniversary Special limited edition John Deere 150hp tractor was of-ficially launched to celebrate Henty’s 50th anniversary and the 60th birthday of Hutcheon and Pearce.

Group sales manager An-drew Sands said 40 of the 50 tractors were sold over the field days, resulting in $20,000 for Country Hope.

Mr Sands said 16 tractors were sold on the opening day of the field days, and 36 by the end of day two.

“The rain was the main driver of confidence ... It was a good Henty, the wet weather added to it and it was a lot more

positive for us,’’ he said.“Everyone (buying the trac-

tors) was conscious of the fact money was being donated to Country Hope.”

Mr Sands said the fact Country Hope was a children’s charity and regionally based resonated with Hutcheon and Pearce staff.

“There was a good spread of inquiry but without doubt the anniversary tractor was the focal point, and that definitely drew a lot of attention to our site,’’ he said.

Coles Wodonga manager Andrew McGrath said the community barbecue raised $3800 and raffle $9000, to total $12,800.

The winner of the raffle prize, a holiday to Fiji plus $1000 spending money, was Andrea Temple, of Wodonga.

Country Hope, of Wagga Wagga, provides family centred support programs to country children diagnosed with cancer and other life threatening ill-nesses.

Country Hope manager Chris Blake described the

$32,800 total in donations as “fantastic’’.

“It was quite staggering that happened and it will help an awful lot with ongoing funding for the organisation,’’ Mr Blake said.

“We were totally gob-smacked to learn of the Hutch-eon and Pearce fund-raising - we were over the moon as ul-timately that money goes to the good cause of supporting our families locally.

“Being a local company, Hutcheon and Pearce knew what Country Hope is and what we do.’’

Mr Blake also praised Coles staff for their ongoing support and enthusiasm, vowing to re-turn to Henty next year along-side Coles.

He said feedback from field day visitors to the Coles com-munity barbecue indicated there was a misconception Country Hope was a nationwide organ-isation.

“We are regionally based and not just working with kids with cancer but with any life-threatening illness,’’ he said.

Andrew Lewis keeps a tally of the limited edition tractors sold at Henty to raise money for Country Hope.

$46,000 boosts identity of our museumsMEMBER for Albury Greg Aplin is pleased to announce $46,000 of funding from the NSW Government 2013 Re-gional Museum Networking Grants program for the Albury LibraryMuseum toward the ‘Identity’ project.

“The ‘Identity’ project ex-plores a unique identity within a region by working in partner-ship to determine what is sig-

nificant in local history and the volunteer museum collections,” Mr Aplin said.

“Working collaboratively, participating museums will de-sign, develop and implement one exhibition in each volun-teer museum, ensuring a legacy of skill development and tangi-ble exhibits in each community.

“The volunteer museums in-

clude Jindera Pioneer Museum, Holbrook Submarine Museum, Henty Header Museum, Yarra-wonga-Mulwala Pioneer Mu-seum and Corowa Federation Museum.

“Our local museums play an important part in retaining our local heritage and the vol-unteers deserve our support for the important work they do for the community.”


As of Monday 8th July, both businesses will trade out of our Albury site located at 58-98 Bennu Circuit, Airport Industrial Estate.

The Wodonga store will cease trading on Friday 5th July. The Albury site is newer and, with the consolidation of people, vehicles and stock, will be able to offer a higher service level in the Albury-Wodonga region.

Seniors in the gardenVISITING the Taylors’ spectac-ular open garden and iris flower display has been described as like “dying and going to heav-en.”

Tim and Maria Rosa Tay-lor will again open the gates to their West Wodonga property this month as part of the City of Wodonga Senior Celebrations 2013.

Members of the public are invited to view their extensive plantings of dwarf, median and tall bearded iris, as well as roses, annuals and flowering perennials.

The event last year was one of the most popular on the se-nior celebrations calendar, at-tracting more than 1000 people.

“We had almost every aged

care and disability group (in Wodonga) come and see us,” she said.

“It was massive, and the feedback we received was fan-tastic.

“One lady said it was like dying and going to heaven, without the inconvenience of dying.”

Mr Taylor, a qualified nurs-eryman and iris hybridiser, will provide short talks and demon-strations each day.

All varieties will also be named for easy identification.

The barn will be set up with a cut flower display and pho-tography section for those who are unable to walk around the garden.

The free event will be held at ‘Riversdale Irises’, 14 Riv-ersdale Place, from Tuesday, 22 October to Friday, 25 October between 9am and 6pm.

Wangaratta duo, The Twi-lights, will entertain guests on Thursday, 24 October from 10am to 4pm.

Groups of four or more are requested to book in advance on 0413 188 375.

The City of Wodonga Se-nior Celebrations will be held throughout the month of Octo-ber, with a range of activities planned including concerts, movies, bus tours, shopping and sport.

Full details are available at wodonga.vic.gov.au/sen-cele-brations

Heading?Heading?Stuck in the middle with youBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

BLOOD, violence and raw talent meshed together last week in Cabot Productions’ Reservoir Dogs.

Reservoir Dogs originally stemmed from a 1992 American crime film that depicts the events before and after a botched diamond heist, but interestingly, not the heist itself.

The film itself will forever spark interest in film and theatre buffs, being the debut of famous director and writer Quentin Taran-tino.

Cabot Productions held four per-formances at the Wodonga Second-ary College Theatrette, with crowds leaving awestruck and utterly im-pressed.

LettersExperts all rightEVERYONE is such an expert! Whether or not the women attending the Englehardt fertility clin-ic are victims of rape or not, the fact remains that abortion is legal in Australia and the patients at-tending the clinic are entitled to privacy.

Dr Rebecca McGowan is a highly regarded, compassionate general practitioner that Albury Wodonga should be proud of - shame on you for disrespecting her.

Could the protesters please find some other way to help others?MS Maree Andrews,WODONGA.

Voice of experienceTHANKYOU for the right of reply to the letters on this page (NewsWeekly, 2 October).

I do not wish to have an argument with non-experts who bring outdated, biased and irrelevant statistics, as this is meaningless, but I can speak from my local experience over the many years in our community as the Forensic Medical Officer.

All the women I have seen who have become pregnant to a rapist, have chosen to have a termi-nation (100 per cent), even when all alternatives are explored, support has been offered for keep-ing the pregnancy or adoption has been consid-ered. But this is not really the main issue I wish to highlight.

My main concern is for the vulnerable women I have seen through my many years of expert ex-perience in the medical and forensic field. These patients tell me they feel assaulted all over again when confronted by what they see as angry and judgemental people invading their privacy when they choose to attend the fertility clinic in Engle-hardt Street . These patients make a legitimate and legal choice to terminate their pregnancy and this is their right. They also have a right to go about their own medical business in private with-

out being intimidated.If any one of those protesters found them-

selves pregnant to a rapist, I would respect their right to decide what they would do with their pregnancy. They do not have the right to harass another woman in that position and berate her for her medical decision.

The majority of Australians agree with the right of a woman to make the choice to have a termination. I find it appalling that the vulnerable women in our community who are in the position of being pregnant to a rapist have to be exposed to what they see as yet more violence when entering a lawful medical clinic.

I have been told in private by many patients and their partners that these “protesters” employ thuggish and bullying behaviour to intimidate them. They are definitely not ‘peaceful’.

I reiterate that the protesters must be stopped and that we as a community commit to having zero tolerance to the emotionally and physically violent tactics employed by the people who stand in front of the medical clinic.DR Rebecca McGowan,FORENSIC Medical Officer Albury/ Wodonga.

Leave them aloneAS A social worker in private practice, I have been working with women through the victims of crime counselling scheme for the past 17 years. I have seen first-hand the terrible consequences of rape and unwanted pregnancies many times.

These women who have been violated do not need or more to the point should be protected from further harassment from the lunatic protest-ers at the Englehardt street clinic.

These people should take their concerns to the local courthouse and vent their anger towards the perpetrators of these crimes and not the victims.NADIA Mellor, social worker,ALBURY.

Window laws to prevent child fallsNEW window safety laws introduced into State Parlia-ment by Minister for Fair Trad-ing Anthony Roberts have been welcomed by Member for Al-bury Greg Aplin.

Mr Aplin said that in 2011-’12, 39 children aged nine or younger were hospitalised in NSW after falling from windows.

“Under the new laws, own-ers corporations will be re-

quired to install window safety devices in residential strata buildings on all openable win-dows located above the ground floor,” Mr Aplin said.

“These devices will al-low windows to open to a maximum of 12.5cm when the lock is engaged.

“Residents will still be able to open their windows as they do now, however they will have the security of knowing that when

the device is engaged, children in their care will be protected from a tragic accident.

“The laws have been devel-oped after recommendations in a report by The Children’s Hos-pital at Westmead.” Corporation owners have been given until 13 March 2018 to install the win-dow safety devices. A copy of the Bill and videos can be found on the NSW Fair Trading web-site www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au

Don’t beat your feetDID you know that a quarter of the human body’s bones are in the feet?

Feet do an amazing job and yet are often taken for granted until something goes wrong.

Your feet take the weight of your whole body, so foot prob-lems can quickly lead to pain and affect the way you walk. This can result in knee, hip and back pain.

The good news is that look-ing after your feet can prevent most problems.

The best person to see if you have any issues is a podia-trist. Podiatrists are specially trained to deal with whatever foot problem you may have. This includes sore heels, ankle sprains, fungal infections, dia-betes, arthritis and a variety of other injuries and issues.

Border Podiatry Centre treat children as well as adults and are able to request ultrasounds and x-rays if needed.

The staff at Border Podiatry Centre know healthy, happy feet make all the difference to enjoying life. The staff strive to

provide patients with the pro-fessional and experienced care that they expect and deserve.

To discuss any foot issues you may have, call The Border Podiatry Centre on 6024 5577.

The team at Border Podiatry offer a professional, specialised view on how to best protect or correct your feet.

October is Foot Health MonthTHE Australasian Podiatry Council (APodC) is proud to announce that October is, once again, National Foot Health Month - an important time to remind all Australians about proper podiatric care.

Australians have the second-worst rate of unnecessary low-er-limb amputations in the de-veloped world and preventative foot health checks are essential for people in a high-risk catego-ry, such as those with diabetes or reduced circulation and sen-sation in their extremities.

But, while this is an extra-important service for the most vulnerable feet, even very healthy feet deserve a regular ‘tune-up’ as well - they have a journey of about 150,000 kilo-metres to make in their lifetime, after all.

That’s why this year’s Foot Health Month theme is ‘po-diatrists LOVE your feet’ - a reminder to all Australians to ‘show their feet some love’ and ‘make a date’ with an APodA member podiatrist.

Whether you’re an athlete struggling with training foot-wear, a young women choosing high heels, a parent teaching a toddler to walk or a construc-tion worker considering safety boots, everyone needs to think about their feet at times.

And all these choices and ac-tivities, plus many, many more, can cause foot issues and pains,

which shouldn’t be ignored and can be treated.

Untreated foot problems cost the health care system mil-lions, and can have a hugely

detrimental effect on a person’s lifestyle and livelihood.

Finding the right fitNATALIE Rowett, new owner of The Athletes Foot Albury, is excited about the opportunity to provide the Border region with quality product, service and fit.

With a background in the recreation industry and with a long love of sport - in particu-lar, running - she knows the im-portance of proper footwear and the right fit.

Natalie has been with the Athletes Foot for six years and managed The Athletes Foot Albury in Myer Centre Point for two years. After working in Sydney and Canberra, being a country girl at heart and grow-ing up in rural South Australia,

Natalie couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be back in the country again doing what she loves most - selling shoes!

Did you know shoes have a shelf life? Even though your shoes may still look ok on top, they could be completely worn out underneath.

The main function of a shoe is the mid sole. The mid sole provides shock absorption for your feet. Whether you are walking, running or standing, a good quality shoe will absorb the shock into the midsole and take the pressure away from your feet, shins, knees and back.

As a general guide staff at

The Athletes Foot recommend you update your running foot-wear every 12 months or up to a thousand kilometres wear. Updating your footwear can help prevent injuries and pro-vide comfort and preservation of your feet.

“Not only do we provide athletic footwear, but we also stock shoes for work, lifestyle, leisure and medical that will also provide shock absorption and all-day comfort,” Natalie said.

“Come in and talk to our friendly and professional staff and Find Your Fit at The Ath-letes Foot Albury.”

Natalie Rowett and the team at The Athlete’s Foot offer the best in quality, service and fit.

Shoe businessBRAD Lodding and his team at Bags n Boots specialise in sell-ing and correctly fitting quality footwear including brands such as Ziera, Naot, Clarks, Merrell, and Propet.

With a large variety for women, men and children of all ages, everyone can be spe-cially fitted by Bags n Boots’ experienced staff. Coming into summer, many people will be surprised with the amount of summer shoes that fit orthotics, allowing feet to be free in the warmer months, not confined to heavier footwear.

“There’s hardly a foot we

can’t fit and if we can’t we re-fer those people to a podiatrist or they can get a shoe made for them,” Bags n Boots owner Brad Lodding said.

“We stock a wide variety of styles that fit orthotics, as well as orthotics people can wear a sandal with.

“Everything starts at your feet and works its way up. Hav-ing the right shoe doesn’t just help your feet, but your knees and back too. I even found that when I was playing football I got into some better quality shoes and haven’t had any back problems since!

“A lot of people find if they have their kids in cheap shoes they have foot problems later in life and they will have to go and see a podiatrist. “We believe prevention is better than cure, so treat your feet right the first time.

After two generations and 25 years as an independent, Bags n Boots provide a per-sonal touch with the quality of service that you just don’t get in chain stores.

Bags n Boots also have Face-book promotions throughout the year. You will find the friend-ly team at 148 High Street, Wodonga, phone 6024 4944.

A LIFE-THREATENING and costly conse-quence of diabetes is the potential loss of feeling to the lower extremities experienced by diabetics.

This loss of feeling puts feet at risk of ulcer-ation and injury. Without careful monitoring and maintenance, these issues can quickly become life-threatening and, for 18 in every 100,000 Aus-tralians, will result in amputation

It’s a figure that places us second-worst in the developed world for unnecessary lower-limb am-putations related to diabetes.

In addition to this, Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders are up to 38 times more likely to lose a limb because of diabetes.

Each hospitalisation related to foot ulcerations costs the healthcare system $13,000, while each

lower-limb amputation costs $26,000, in addi-tional to substantial ongoing medical costs. The toll on quality of life is immeasurable and post-amputation diabetics have a 50 per cent mortality rate within five years.

The Australasian Podiatry Council, and lead-ing academics in the field of podiatry, believe these figures can be changed. An $85 million annual investment into funding Medicare-subsi-dised podiatric consultations for diabetic patients in Australia has the potential to save up to $400 million in emergency treatments and hospitalisa-tion.

Not only that, but Australia would also be pulled into line with other developed nations in terms of providing quality preventative health services for diabetic patients.

Diabetic foot amputations

Australians are rated as some of the worst in the world for unnecessary lower-limb amputations related to diabetes.

IF you have foot and leg pain or injuries, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics can help.

As trusted experts they pro-vide proven solutions to assist pain and injuries, with a reputa-tion for getting results.

Foot and Leg Pain Clinics have expertise in diagnosing and treating heel pain, arch pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, ankle concerns, shin pain, bunions and injuries.

Renowned for successful patient outcomes, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics guarantee they’ll work to address the cause of your concerns and not just treat the symptoms. They can even assist soft tissue regeneration and heal injuries thanks to new, natural injection therapies.

Foot and Leg Pain Clinics have assisted people who’ve been told nothing can be done

for them and those who’ve been told that surgery and/or medication is their only op-tion. They’ve also been the cho-sen podiatrists for some of the world’s best athletes and thou-sands of people just like you, so you can rest assured you’re in good hands.

“The key to achieving suc-cessful, long-term outcomes is in taking the time to find and address the cause of concerns and not just treat the symp-toms,” Albury Foot and Leg Pain Clinic sports podiatrist Dr Marni Gray said.

“Many issues persist be-cause they are misdiagnosed, the causes are not addressed spe-cifically, and inappropriate treat-ments are utilised. We’ll work with the evidence to resolve your concerns so we can put an end to your foot and leg pain.

“Keeping up-to-date with the latest medical research and treatments and taking a holistic approach is also extremely im-portant for achieving positive, long-term results, as is person-alising treatment plans.

Health and healing is not a one size fits all approach. Pa-tients’ individual and specific lifestyle factors, nutritional status and requirements, over-all health and injury concerns all play an important role in achieving optimal healing.”

THEY say the ‘local’ is a cen-tral establishment to any town, and this couldn’t ring truer than with the historic Bethanga Court House Hotel.

A breath-taking drive along Lake Hume through rolling green hills will lead you to the pub that sustained a town since 1876, just a year after it was settled.

Amid the increasing rush of gold and copper mining, a new watering hole, then known as The Saw Mill Hotel, was born.

After several changes of hands, The Saw Mill Hotel be-came the Court House Hotel.

Now, the hotel is still known as the Bethanga Court House Hotel, and thanks to the tireless work and passion of its current owner since 2002, Ms Leslie Smith, the hotel is a rich source of history and local pride.

From VFL legend tributes to 100-year-old newspaper ar-ticles, the walls of the hotel are plastered with history that has patrons admiring for hours.

“I didn’t want to lose that history and that’s why I got all the photos,” Ms Smith said.

“I went through a lady from LaTrobe University in Mel-bourne who wrote a book on the town and had the photos blown up. There was a family by the name of Sutherland who were involved with the hotel and one of them had photos to contrib-ute, then just bits and pieces have come in the mail from dif-

ferent families - I put the word out.”

The hotel also claims brag-ging rights to many of Ken Maynard’s characters depicted in the famous Ettamogah Pub cartoons, with an original plas-terboard sketch occupying one wall.

“Ken Maynard originally started his drawings here, so his characters - even though most of it is Ettamogah Pub - were all based from here, like the police-men,” Ms Smith said.

Aside from feeding fading history back into the town, Ms Smith has also put a lot of time, effort, thought and money into extending and refurbishing the hotel, but still keeping that be-loved old country charm.

“All the concrete has been built up out the front, you used to have to walk down into a ditch to get into the pub,” Ms Smith explains.

“The entire verandah, beer garden, back extension and toi-lets have been built on. There’s complete disabled access which is perfect for our ageing popu-lation.

“There were no gardens so all of that has been done too - a favourite spot for aged care and disability service providers.”

Coming into summer, the garden is particularly popular, as is the vast menu on offer which covers pub favourites like lambs fry and bacon, and bangers and mash, pizzas, four different chicken dishes, veal, ‘from the grill’, huge steaks,

seafood and pasta dishes, even ham steaks.

Take away is also available from open to close - a great op-tion for waterskiers and wake-boarders to take back to Lake Hume and enjoy by the water.

But if you haven’t already chosen your favourite Bethanga Court House Hotel meal, Ms Smith said you can’t go past the Mexican chicken schnitzel for just $19.50.

“It’s chicken done with salsa and chilli, cheese, sour cream, more salsa, then covered with capsicum, spring onions, corn chips and avocado,” she said.

“It’s a beautiful looking meal, and great tasting.”

The hotel also offers award-winning local wines - perfect for a Sunday afternoon in the beer garden. And if that’s not enough to drag you across the lake, the hotel also offers ac-commodation deals that will have your jaw hitting the table.

“We do package deals - $50 includes the bed, main meal and a continental breakfast in the morning,” Ms Smith said.

“It is basic, more backpack-er style with a bed and shared bathrooms, but very popular with motorcycle groups and an-gling groups.”

So jump in the car this week-end, bring the family and your appetite, and witness the friend-ly faces, the beauty and the history of the Bethanga Court House Hotel.

Art from her heart and headBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

WAKING up in intensive care eight days after passing out from severe pneumonia isn’t the ideal wake-up call to change your life.

But it was just the wake-up call art-ist MariJana van Zanten needed to put down her hectic life and pick up her first love - the paintbrush.

“I was one of those really busy people who ran around like a headless chook,” Ms van Zanten said.

“I had five clinics, a big farm and a big life because I was on a heap of com-mittees and boards.

“I went to assist my sister with plan-ning a family wedding and I knew I was sick but I thought ‘I’ll be right’.

“I got in the car and I thought ‘no, there’s something really wrong here,’ so I went back inside. Eight days later I woke up in intensive care.

“The ambulance had taken me to hospital after finding me in my sister’s kitchen. It was very serious, my family were called and it went from pneumonia to renal failure.

“When I recovered from that, which took a long, long time, I felt that I just needed to do what I wanted to do, and

that’s paint.”Ms van Zanten will be opening her

exhibition at GIGS Art Gallery this Fri-day, which includes two works drawn from her experience in central Australia.

Happiness and Sadness are mono-prints based on Aboriginal children she saw with beer cans around their necks for sniffing petrol. Happiness represents the feeling she had of being in the true Australian outback in all its beauty. Sad-ness was the reality of how many of the indigenous people were living, some as young as three years old.

Ms van Zanten was born in the re-mote community of Balranald and moved to Melbourne for university, at-taining a degree in fine art from Deakin University before spending a year in Eu-rope visiting galleries and learning more about her passion.

“I had a gift from a young age,” she said.

“I was an outback Australian and I spent a lot of time drawing and paint-ing outback things near Balranald in the bush. It was a wonderful life, a wonder-ful childhood.

“While I was in Italy I would get re-ally bad headaches and one of my stu-dent friends said to see this funny old

lady to fix my neck. When I came back to Australia I enrolled in a 10-week Shi-atsu course and it took my whole life - I practised Shiatsu for 25 years.

“I’d teach an art course here or there, do some life drawing or teach some por-traiture.

“After my near death experience with pneumonia I thought ‘what am I really going to do with my life?’ So I started painting again. I’m really passionate about my work, I love it.

“I’m a people person so I do a lot of portraits and do a lot of studies of peo-ple, but really observational stuff.

“This is my first big solo exhibition. It’s called A Different Place because it’s painted in Albury, which is a differ-ent place, but it’s also a different place within me.”

Witness the beautiful, emotive works of MariJana van Zanten from 11 Oc-tober to 3 November at GIGS Art Gal-lery, Gateway Village Lincoln Cause-way, Wodonga. Open: Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-4pm. Inquiries: (02) 6021 3073.

Happening thingBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

HOLBROOK is looking pic-ture-perfect as the exciting build-up to the Happening in Holbrook Festival (HIHF) con-tinues.

The HIHF is part of a plan to remind visitors that Holbrook is still a vibrant town with much to offer the wider community.

“It’s a celebration that we now have a nice peaceful town because before the bypass, on average, we would have 2000 trucks coming through town every day,” festival committee chair and owner of the Subma-rine Cafe, Warren Thompson said.

“That is a lot of noise and dust. Sometimes it was very hard to get across the street.

“Since the bypass opened, the only noticeable drop is that the trucks aren’t coming through now which makes it nice and peaceful.

“The people who used to stop at the food outlets are still stopping because it’s just so easy to get on and off and be-cause we were the last place to be bypassed - people are used to stopping in Holbrook.

“People are creatures of hab-it so they continue to come in and we’ve only noticed a very small drop off in the amount of customers.”

The HIHF will be held over two days on 19 and 20 October with a huge variety of events.

Saturday commences at 9am with a collectors fair and heli-

copter joy flights over the pic-turesque historic town. At 10am the market and craft stalls open and the Show ’n Shine begins along with jumping castles, miniature train rides, a gala art show and kids photographic competition.

A highlight of the festival will be the grand street parade kicking off from 2pm. There’ll be historic trucks, veteran and vintage cars, flexible clippers (restored pioneer coaches), ul-tralight aeroplanes, colourful local floats, marching bands, military vehicles, animals par-ticipating in the parade plus much more.

“I think the street parade will be the main highlight,” Mr Thompson said.

“It looks as though there will be around 100 units in that street parade - the main street will be blocked off for the du-ration.

“There will be speakers from the top floors of both pubs tell-ing people what’s going though so it’s going to be fantastic for people to just stand or walk along the streets with the differ-ent floats, vehicles and bands.”

All day bands and entertain-ers will be playing in different locations in Holbrook, culmi-nating in a huge live concert in Ten Mile Creek Gardens from 4pm to 6pm. The Prairie Oysters and Korey Livy, Riv-erina Concert Band and Albury Wodonga Pipes and Drums are just some of the entertainers along with a fantastic variety of

buskers. Evening entertainment will be available at the local pubs and RSL club.

On Sunday the Woolpack Inn Museum will hold an open day from 9.30am, which will include a barbecue, many dis-plays including ladies’ handi-crafts from yesteryear and Henty Antique Farm Machinery Club will display their engines.

The Submarine Museum, Woolpack Inn Museum and National Museum of Australian Pottery will be open all week-end.

Mr Thompson said the com-munity was very excited about the line up of events over the weekend, with something for all the family and a lot of free events.

“The full program is cur-rently being finalised and will be available prior to the week-end,” he said.

The mayor of Greater Hume Shire Council Heather Wilton said the Holbrook community had put in many hours of prepa-ration to ensure visitors to Hol-brook enjoy a truly spectacular weekend.

“On behalf of Holbrook I invite everyone - mark your calendar and join in the festivi-ties,” she said.

The Oysters, one of the acts for the Happening in Holbrook Festival.

By KRYSTEN MANUELMOVIE: GravityDIRECTOR: Alfonso CuaronSTARRING: Sandra Bullockand George ClooneyDURATION: 91 minutes

A STUNNING juxtaposition of the brilliant beauty of our world and the chilling eeriness of our vast universe.

For someone who experiences both terrifying nightmares and relax-ing, even euphoric dreams of being in space, this film captured it all in a way even the slumberous, limitless imagi-nation couldn’t grasp so perfectly.

Time after time, Gravity had the

hairs on my arms standing in suspense and my stomach churning as the film seemed to somehow pluck the viewer from the cinema and place them in spacesuits.

Rookie astronaut Dr Ryan Stone (Bullock) and veteran Dr Matt Kow-alski (Clooney) are working on what seems to be a relatively routine mission when debris travelling at ridiculous speeds shatters their craft. Dr Stone tumbles out of control through space – a particularly queasy moment.

Dr Kowolski eventually finds Dr Stone and the pair battle waning oxy-gen, equipment and hope on their way to a Russian shuttle.

The journey to the shuttle separates

the two and Dr Stone is forced to leave the shuttle and travel back into space in order to reach a Chinese shuttle, and against all odds.

Her journey will leave you with fingernail marks on your palms and shivers down your spine – how will she make it back to Earth?

This is not the sort of film I would see twice, but a must-see all the same.

The only criticism I have is it was quite far-fetched, though it’s the ‘slice of life’ astronaut scenes in between that will have you walking out of the cinema (as one woman did last Friday) deeming it “absolutely amazing.”

We’re in chargeREMEMBER the days when music was controlled by a few moguls in faraway lands - we were told what, where and when to buy the next fashion and how much we pay?

We were controlled by one set of top 40 charts and music choices influenced al-most entirely on the radio station playlist.

Today, music to your ears is now spoilt for choice. It is how we manage that choice and to the quality level we wish to be entertained at that poses the issues within most homes.

Bluetooth streaming has assisted the

portable-type sound systems. Many new products have entered the market this year allowing you to have a rechargeable battery sound system to play at an accept-able sound quality through Bluetooth, a favourite among the iTunes users.

The streaming systems in the home need to be versatile with different com-puter operating systems and various au-dio formats music systems, this should be friendly to all packages. These streaming products can go close to sounding like CD quality.

For the music lover streaming is now

a full range reality, we can stream at the rate comparable to the best vinyl records and with the use of high quality DACs we can deliver playback performances that relate to studio standards. It is this segment that has rapidly changed from the computer based listener or audio-phile to the ordinary living room. In 2013 this product came of age, due to the easier navigation and operating systems.

Wherever you are it has become easi-er to access any music you like when you like and at the musical listening standard that suits the time.

How sound has changed over the years...

Tidy character home’s charmBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

WITHOUT question this is one of the tidiest character homes to enter the market for some time - and it’s in the sought-after Cen-tral Wodonga position with all facilities at your fingertips!

From the street, 15 Wood-land is secure, tidy and a little bit retro with blue paint provid-ing an interesting contrast to the red-tiled roof.

Behind the wrought iron fence is a perfectly mani-cured, established garden that shouldn’t require too much maintenance.

A welcoming large under-cover porch is easily accessible from the family room through classy double doors, and the front door adds that extra peace of mind with a security door.

The entry-way is large and inviting, a taster for the rest of the home, with high ceilings, decorative cornices and beauti-

ful polished floorboards leading into the family room.

The family room is light-filled and offers both a gas heat-er, log fireplace, air-conditioner and ceiling fan.

The maroon fireplace is a modern contrast from the rest of the room, creating a welcome focal point.

The master bedroom also re-sides at the front of the house, with large built-in robes and ceiling fan.

The second bedroom is queen size, same as the master, but also offers a beautiful old-style corner window for extra light and built-in robe.

Bedroom three is located at the rear of the house, again pre-senting a large room with lots of natural light and built-in robe.

The dining room, con-necting the family room and kitchen, is open enough to re-main social but still segregated

enough to claim its own space in the house.

The kitchen, while simple, has ample storage space and a dishwasher. It also provides yard access from an external security door.

The bathroom is fully equipped for kids and adults, with a bath, large shower and luxurious towel warmer for those chilly mornings and evenings that are hopefully behind us now.

The backyard is built for the entertainer. Large and lus-cious, not only does it feature fruit trees and a substantial ve-gie garden, but a garden shed, lock-up garage, fish pond and - the best part - a beautiful big decking just on a year old, with courtyard barbecue to the side.

This home is, without ques-tion, a crowd pleaser. Families, singles, couples, investors - there’s something for everyone at 15 Woodland Street.

Girls cruising for a bruisingBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

AFTER a two-month rest from competition, the Murray River Derby Dames (MRDD) are pre-paring for their next home bout against the Wagga Derby Dolls in MRDD Ghouls Night Out.

Thanks to a successful rules and scrimmage class with Wan-garatta’s North East Roller Der-by girls just a fortnight ago, the MRDD and Wangaratta will join forces to play against Wagga on 26 October.

“Wang hasn’t quite gotten a whole team yet so we’re help-ing them out and giving them a chance to use their skills they’ve been practicing for - It’s only fair that we give back to other people as well,” MRDD presi-

dent Jo Lindsay said.“The girls have had a few

bouts of their own this year and we thought it would be good to promote local and regional roll-er derby.

“The teams we’ve played against have been Melbourne-based teams so we thought it would be good because they’re neighbours! Why not play some-where close to home rather than going to Melbourne?”

The rules and scrimmage classes are a twice monthly oc-currence and work like a prac-tice game mixed with both teams.

“You can utilise all the skills you’ve been practising in train-ing and get up that experience for the actual game plan,” Lind-

say said.“Those players who don’t al-

ways get to play positions they like can play them.

“It’s about strategy - what works best and what doesn’t and just having a bit of fun as well. Games are fun too but this is a bit more chilled out than the real deal.”

And rest assured, the MRDD are hungry for another win after having a short spring break.

“They’re doing very well, the girls are ready and keen to have a local bout,” Lindsay said.

“It’s been a long gap since the last one in June, so it’s time for them to get out and have a crack.”

The North East Roller Derby (20 Kitty Kaboom, 2 Toree Armsoff, 9 Issabella Lugosi) stare off the Murray River Derby Dames (Tonia Oswald-Sealy, Tasha Immortal-Luna,Tic Meredith, Brianna Schilg).

Athletes kick offBy KRYSTEN MANUEL

THE Border Track and Field Club welcomed their first meet-ing of the season last Saturday evening with perfect weather and a solid program.

Athletes of all ages competed at Alexandra Park in a program that included a 100m, 200m, 800m, long jump, triple jump and shotput.

Club president Bernie Can-nan said it was a great start to the season and is looking forward to more members filtering in.

“We knew there were going to be a few away with the long weekend and such, so while the numbers were down, it was still quite good,” he said.

“It was great to get the pro-gram underway.”

Mr Cannan said the club is growing each year and encourag-

es past athletes or those on their off-season from football, soccer or netball to join up as a method of keeping condition.

“We weren’t happy with last year’s numbers, but we have more signed up for this year al-ready,” he said.

“I’m hoping to get 25 mem-bers competing each week.

“It’s a pretty relaxed, friendly atmosphere - and we alternate competition nights in order to ac-commodate people.”

The next competition will be held on Wednesday 16 October from 5pm at Alexandra Park and will follow the same program as last week, though athletes will follow a program of 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m, high jump, discus and javelin at the third meeting.

For more information, call 0409 326 218 or 0260 217 226.

Keenan Sirmones, Nic McCormack and Carson Lehmann belt it out for the 100m with coach Les O’Brien on the starter’s gun.Inset: Carson Lehmann on his first long jump of the season.
