MONDAY’S shortened NSW cabinet visit hasbeen hailed a success despite heavy rain and thick fog almost causing the entire visit to be cancelled.

Planes were unable to land in Albury due tothe extreme weather conditions, leaving NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell and some of his staff and government ministers stuck in the air.

When he eventually did touch down, the Pre-mier joined the ministers who had arrived the night before and about 150 locals at the AlburyEntertainment Centre for a public forum.

Those in attendance asked questions rangingfrom phone service to electricity prices and men-tal health.

Scots School students, including Nick Packer, attended with teacher Jane Atkinson

“We had some ideas in legal studies and de-cided to put two or three questions to the minis-ters,” Nick said.

“We got a good response which is reassuring and I’m glad I attended.

“I think it’s really important that young people get involved because it helps influence political debate.”

One student raised concern over cross-Border L-Plate and P-Plate licence anomalies.

A vibrant and popular hideout

THOSE in the know well understand

that Wodonga’s Hideout cafe is any-

thing but a sleepy little backstreet cof-

fee shop.

In fact the vibrant cafe is quite the

opposite with a focus on quality food

and presentation that has ensured a

regular clientele both locally and more

recently in the wider region.

The Hideout has been located in

Waratah Street, Wodonga for close

to two years now and co-owner Kate

Bullock said word-of-mouth was be-

ginning to attract customers from as

far as Rutherglen and Talgarno, with

many crossing the border from Albury

to taste what’s on offer.

And it’s that focus on quality food,

cakes and other delicacies from chef

Dan Yassin that sets this cafe apart

from its competitors.

“Dan has worked in five star hotels

in Europe and North America,” Kate

said.“He’s cooked breakfast, lunch and

dinner including fine-dining meats and

seafoods.

“Our kitchen here at Hideout has

equipment that you would find in ho-

tels, so we have the ability to produce a

lot of different food, a at large volumes

because of Dan’s hotel experience.

I think our food presentation flows

down from Dan’s fine-dining experi-

ence too.”

Kate said the Hideout was also

focused on providing quality training

for their apprentice, Stephanie Lunt,

which also contributes to the overall

experience for customers.

“Stephanie began as a barista and

now she’s in the kitchen and doing

brilliantly,” Kate said.

“Through Wodonga TAFE and

through chef Dan’s mentoring she’s

gone on to win awards in Melbourne

and at TAFE here.”

The cafe also provides good coffee

with Kate being trained through the

Coffee Academy at William Angliss

Institute, Melbourne.

The Hideout is becoming popu-

lar for its gluten-free and vegetarian

dishes, as well as its quality breakfast

menu providing a wide range of op-

tions for all customers.

“We’ve worked quite hard to pres-

ent a really good breakfast menu which

is taking it up another level from our

lunch menu,” Kate said.

“Pancakes are always a favourite,

but those looking for something ex-

tra special might enjoy the trout. We

smoke the trout on the premises.”

The cafe recently entered the Sa-

vour Australia Restaurant and Catering

Awards for Excellence, and are Victo-

rian regional finalists in both the break-

fast and cafe/restaurant divisions.

By BLAIR THOMSONTRUCK drivers will soon be asleep at the wheel in Wodonga, with a $15.8m service centre to be built at Logic.

The facility will provide a rest area for up to 45 trucks, a service centre and a trailer ex-change.

According to Victorian Dep-uty Premier Peter Ryan, 120 full time jobs and another 48 indi-rect jobs will be created at the site.

Mr Ryan announced funding for the project during a visit to Wodonga this week.

Local member Bill Tilley, who appeared alongside Mr Ryan at the announcement, had been involved in claims and counter claims with his col-league over the alleged under-mining of former Police Chief Commissioner Simon Over-land.

Mr Tilley recently told a Melbourne newspaper he had recorded a conversation with Mr Ryan in case he “needed to establish the truth to a particular issue”.

But according to Mr Ryan, the two were getting on with their jobs.

“This is all yesterday’s news, tomorrow’s fish and chip pa-

RED Nose Day is upon us again and it’s time to don the comical nose or badge or whatever it may be to support this worthwhile charity.

Of course there are many charities in the community worthy of support and while one can’t be compared to another it is interesting to note the impact of RND and the SIDS and Kids programs.

Firstly it’s estimated that one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage. Recently in NSW 837 and in Victoria 918 babies died before, during or soon after birth in one year. The death of one baby is said to directly im-pact around 60 people; all staggering figures.

The SIDS and Kids organisation provides specialised bereavement support for individu-als and families who experience these prob-lems, but there’s more to the organisation than that.

Education on safe pregnancy, safe birth and safe sleeping is a key element of the work they do and the results are proving positive.

Safe sleeping educational programs in the last 10 years have seen an 85 percent reduc-tion in sudden infant deaths. This in itself makes the charity a very worthy recipient of our hard earned cash.

NewsWeekly would like to thank all those local businesses, pages 18 and 19, who have participated in our annual fundraising effort. The response was fantastic yet again. On be-half of these businesses we will be donating $2000 to the organisation.

So bookmark your diaries for the 25th an-niversary of Red Nose Day on 29 July and be sure to organise something, or simply buy a red nose or whatever you can afford to help this great charity.

Truck stop jobs boost

AMID the gloomy predictions for Melbourne’s metropolitan newspapers, there is one place where print media is alive and very much kicking … in Victo-ria’s country communities.

Country newspapers such as NewsWeekly remain strong and are not suffering the decline that metropolitan newspapers are incurring - and the reason: because of their relevance to lo-cal communities.

“Newspapers have a long and strong future in community and regional areas,” Victorian Country Press Association pres-ident Paul Thomas said.

“Despite the announcements (last) week by major media

companies of their seismic shift in direction, country newspa-pers with their local focus and sense of community are still an integral part of rural life. Coun-try newspapers are most often the only source of local news. They help bind communities and continue to be the voice of their local communities.

“In Victoria, country news-papers enjoy diverse ownership with passionate proprietors be-lieving in the industry and its future. Despite recent economic difficulties, our membership and their newspaper circula-tions remain high.”

And it’s this community relevance enjoyed by regional

newspapers that has seen the world’s most successful inves-tor Warren Buffett spend $142 million on buying 63 papers in country USA last month.

Buffett said he had turneddown offers to invest in big city newspapers and preferred local papers because they had a place in the heart of the communitiesthey served.

Contrary to the widespreadassumption of the impend-ing death of print newspapers, country newspapers reflect the strong sense of community spir-it and pride that country peoplehave for their regions. They are a vibrant source of news, adver-tising and community spirit.

The strength of country newspapers

per,” he said. “I’m thrilled to be here with

him today and we are part of a government doing great things for the people of Victoria and that will continue.

“Gone, next topic.”Funding for the new facility

will come from private, state and local government money.

“This goes back to about 2003 when this was bare pad-docks all around us,” Mr Ryan said of the Logic hub.

“You see the vast amount of investment which has gone into it now and the enormous amount of productivity that we see around us now, it’s a tribute to those who dreamed it would

happen, and those that made it a reality.”

Wodonga mayor Mark By-att said building the Logic hub, which now employs around 470 employees, was a “courageous” move by a past council.

“There are a lot of other re-gions that would love to have something of this nature right on their back door,” he said.

“This is a visionary project that deserves a big pat on the back for the council of the day and councils since that period that have been able to create and stimulate more develop-ment in it.”

The facility is tipped to be open late 2013.

A NEW ambulance station is expected to be operating in Albury by mid-2014.

NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell and Health Minister Jillian Skinner announced funding for the $4m station during their visit to Albury this week.

The new facility will replace the outdated station in Dean Street, with paramedics forced to work in cramped conditions.

“It will cater for the future,” Ms Skinner said. “We are now always building new ambulance sta-

tions with a mind to the future not only in terms of the increasing population demand but the new models of care that paramedics and others are engaged in.”

Ms Skinner said price negotiations over a site were continuing but wouldn’t reveal where that site was.

“But it will be somewhere that I think will serve the people of Albury very well.”

Albury station officer Rod Hannan said response times hadn’t been affected by the limitations of the cur-rent site.

“We’re still meeting our response times,” he said. “We’re not always at the station, the paramedics re-

spond from anywhere. “We do have vehicles out and about at most times.“But after 78 years, the building does need to be

updated.”Member for Albury Greg Aplin had long cam-

paigned for funding for the new station and said the announcement was “absolutely wonderful”.

He said it was likely to be built in Lavington and would cater for future growth.

“Clearly it will be taking into account projected growth patterns for Albury and surrounding areas, be-cause the Albury service covers areas including How-long, they also pick people up on the highway and remote locations, they go out to Jindera and Greater Hume Shire and as far as Culcairn and Henty,” he said.

“We now have a firm commitment and money for the project.”

Mr Aplin said it was possible the Dean Street sta-tion could continue to operate on a smaller scale, but a decision on its future would be made by NSW Health.

“They would probably look to sell it but they might retain it and use it for other purposes,” he said.

Station gets funds A welcome visit

VOICE… Premier Barry O’Farrell, pictured with several ministers, answers a question while in Albury. Piture: BLAIR THOMSON

“Do they drive according to the posted speeds, do they drive according to their licence … nobody can actually give them a definitive answer,” Ms Atkinson said.

“So they actually asked that question and the minister said they’re working on that issue right now.

“We will put together a brief to send to the minister as to what we want and it will be posi-tive for the students to keep up a dialogue.”

Gai Marshall travelled from Savernake to ask the Premier about poor phone reception on her property.

She also spoke to Mr O’Farrell one-on-one at the end of the meeting and was happy with his response.

“The problem is we don’t get any mobile reception ... you might get the odd little bit along the highway in spots here and there, but

when you’re on the property there’s a lot of times where if you’re in a machine and some-thing goes wrong – an accident of any sort – you have absolutely no way of making contact with home,” she said.

“His response ended up being that there’s going to be a large amount of money brought out for the telephone network and towers will be put up in all different communities.

“I asked if he could please consider Sav-ernake fairly promptly when that commences and I was reasonably happy with the response.”

Albury councillor Daryl Betteridge said he had attended more as a community member than councillor to gauge public issues.

“I think sometimes you get in your own bubble and think certain things are important when in reality, sometimes they’re not,” he said.

“I think there’s a genuine bit of concern about the community’s ability to continue to

live the lifestyle we’re used to, I think that jumped out today.”

Former Bandiana Army Museum manager Graham Docksey had hoped to ask why sig-nage for Victorian attractions couldn’t be dis-played in Albury, but said some people had “dominated” the microphone.

“Other questions were clearly far more im-portant,” he said.

The forum was extended following the flight delays but several other engagements and on-one-one meetings had to be cancelled.

Member for Albury Greg Aplin said organ-ising the cabinet meeting had been a massive exercise, and as such, there wouldn’t be anoth-er visit during the current parliament.

“But we would be encouraging individual ministers to visit and there are some very en-couraging signs about them wanting to return,” he said.

By BLAIR THOMSONA YOUNG driver wrote off his car after a drunken police pursuit early Sunday morning.

It’s alleged the 22-year-old man per-formed an illegal u-turn and police tried to stop his 2003 Holden Commodore.

The driver then sped off along Atkins Street in South Albury, mounted a round-about and skidded for 73 metres before smashing into a metal light pole and de-ploying the airbags.

The car was a write off and the driver returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.134.

Albury Inspector John Wadsworth said the man’s actions were incred-ibly dangerous and had put other road

users at risk.The man, who escaped without injury,

was charged with various drink driving and road offences, including engaging in a police pursuit

In a separate incident, a traffic light was knocked down, but not out, in Albury last Friday night.

A 19-year-old Jindera man crashed a Toyota Camry into the light on David and North Streets in wet conditions at about 8.30pm.

The traffic light continued to display signals despite being severely damaged.

Three members of the public pushed the pole into a safe position after the inci-dent, and the light will be replaced.

Nobody was injured but the Camry

sustained serious damage and police had to direct traffic.

Police have urged drivers to take greater care when driving in the wet.

“In wet conditions the road gets very greasy and you really need to slow down,” Inspector Wadsworth said.

Investigations are continuing.

Police urge road caution in wet

By BLAIR THOMSONHISTORIC buildings at the old Wodon-ga train station will be preserved and re-developed at a cost of $2m.

The 1873 station building and goods shed, built in 1875, will undergo major works in the hope of attracting develop-ers to the site.

Potential uses include hospitality, re-tail and commercial, with Places Victo-ria hoping to attract investors to create a new “heart” for Wodonga at the site.

Rail infrastructure is currently being removed from the site to develop the land.

“We’ve been talking a couple of times now about the rail history that’s on that site and those things are a rich part of that history,” Places Victoria CEO Sam

Sangster said of the buildings. “These works are about sureing up

those buildings and ensuring that they have an ongoing use, whatever that might be in the future.”

All internal walls will be removed, a new concrete slab will be laid in the goods shed, the exterior of the build-ings will undergo preservation works and new gutters and downpipes will be installed.

Both buildings will be given disabled access, with works expected to take be-tween two and three months.

“We imagine probably by November the works will be done and dusted,” Mr Sangster said.

“We’ll go to tender and see what local people tell us.”

Expressions of interest to develop the railway land – separate to the historic buildings – closed yesterday (Thursday) after NewsWeekly went to print.

Mr Sangster said there had been a “fantastic response” from developers, with the bids to be reviewed and put to the public.

“Hopefully if there’s stand-outs there we’ll talk to the community about what’s come in and if there’s really good oppor-tunities then we’ll be out talking aboutthose pretty quickly,” he said.

“I don’t want to pre-empt (a starting date).

“We want to get the right outcomes and if that takes us a little longer to get that right, I’d rather take the time rather than being held to a timetable that we can’t achieve.”

In fact the vibrant cafe is quite the opposite with a focus on quality food and presentation that has ensured a regular clientele both locally and more recently in the wider region.

The Hideout has been located in Waratah Street, Wodonga for close to two years now and co-owner Kate Bullock said word-of-mouth was be-ginning to attract customers from as far as Rutherglen and Talgarno, with many crossing the border from Albury to taste what’s on offer.

And it’s that focus on quality food, cakes and other delicacies from chef Dan Yassin that sets this cafe apart from its competitors.

“Dan has worked in five star hotels in Europe and North America,” Kate said.

“He’s cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner including fine-dining meats and seafoods.

“Our kitchen here at Hideout has equipment that you would find in ho-tels, so we have the ability to produce a lot of different food, a at large volumes because of Dan’s hotel experience. I think our food presentation flows down from Dan’s fine-dining experi-ence too.”

Kate said the Hideout was also focused on providing quality training for their apprentice, Stephanie Lunt, which also contributes to the overall experience for customers.

“Stephanie began as a barista and

now she’s in the kitchen and doing brilliantly,” Kate said.

“Through Wodonga TAFE and through chef Dan’s mentoring she’s gone on to win awards in Melbourne and at TAFE here.”

The cafe also provides good coffee

with Kate being trained through the Coffee Academy at William Angliss Institute, Melbourne.

The Hideout is becoming popu-lar for its gluten-free and vegetarian dishes, as well as its quality breakfast menu providing a wide range of op-

tions for all customers.“We’ve worked quite hard to pres-

ent a really good breakfast menu which is taking it up another level from our lunch menu,” Kate said.

“Pancakes are always a favourite, but those looking for something ex-

tra special might enjoy the trout. We smoke the trout on the premises.”

The cafe recently entered the Sa-vour Australia Restaurant and Catering Awards for Excellence, and are Victo-rian regional finalists in both the break-fast and cafe/restaurant divisions.

By TREVOR JACKSONWITH blood stocks at critical levels in some ar-eas across the country Border residents are roll-ing up their sleeves and doing their bit to keep a healthy supply of the life-giving fluid.

Red Cross community relations officer Cathy Chapman said they wanted to say a big thank you to all donors in the region for bridging the gap to help those in need.

“We’re really saying thank you to our Border residents because quite frankly, the fact that we’re heavily booked means that we’re the stop-gap,” she said.

“Our blood is literally going into the hospitals as quickly as we get it in. We’ve put on extra staff to process it properly and we just need people who’ve got an appointment to keep it.”

But Ms Chapman said they were always look-ing for donors with O-negative blood type be-cause of its universal use. Less than nine percent of the population is O-negative but it can be given

COMMUNITY SPIRIT… Wodonga’s Emily Dreier, 16 was more than happy to donate blood last week at the David Street blood centre. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

Rolling up sleeves for national needsBut O-negative still a high priority as stocks sit at low levels

to 100 percent of the population, and the stocksof O-negative are currently sitting at less than aday’s supply.

She said they also wanted to stress the im-portance of keeping appointments and bookingahead in the winter season to provide this life-saving act.

“We’re asking Border residents to book ahead because we have the cough and cold season com-ing up,” she said.

“In July and August, while we might be quitewell booked, we get a lot of people who suddenly get colds and flus and they can’t donate so thepressure’s still on.”

Ms Chapman said historically regional centres were well supported with a strong community spirit.

She said there was good corporate support in the region and school groups were regular donors.

“We have a school challenge where we have 10 local schools that all participate,” Ms Chap-man said.

“The students, over the space of the last finan-cial year, have donated nearly 800 units of blood.”

Plasma donation is also strong on the Borderand Ms Chapman said there were many commit-ted people in the region willing to provide the “liquid gold”.

“We have very committed people who come in every two weeks to do plasma,” she said.

“That’s normally where we need it and that’s where I’m always looking for donors but at the moment, because we’re low nation-wide andstate-wide we’re back to focussing on wholeblood.”

Anyone interested in donating blood or plas-ma can call the Red Cross Blood Service on 1314 95 to make a booking.

By BLAIR THOMSONDO YOU get nervous at the idea of speaking to a large number of people?

Does the thought of making a toast make you weak at the knees?

If so, the Albury Wodonga Toastmasters Club can help you.

The group meets each fortnight with the aimof improving the speaking skills and confidenceof its members

Club president Pieter Mourik said communi-cation is about much more than what a person says.

“The three main fears people have are public speaking, number one, sudden death and financial ruin,” he said.

“We can cure public speaking. “We can make you speak a lot better than you

do … that’s a guarantee.”The group, which has almost 30 members,

helps improve body language, voice modulation and confidence, and remove “ums” and “ahs” from speech.

“We teach the whole gamut,” Dr Mourik said. “It’s about personal development, so someone

who wants to improve their chances of getting a job, this will certainly help them with that.”

Members must do ten speeches before they can be considered a competent communicator, and feedback is a key to their improvement.

“We can see someone who starts off speaking in a really ocker accent turn into someone who’s confident and able to manage being a chairman of a meeting,” Dr Mourik said.

“People can come down down as a guest for free and see how they would like it.

“It’s a worldwide organisation with hundreds of thousands of members and we’re really kickinggoals at the moment.”

The group meets the first and third Tuesday each month at the Albury Quest.

HELP… Albury Wodonga Toastmasters can take the fear out of public speaking, according to Pieter Mourik.

ALBURY Library Museum will official-ly launch a permanent exhibition to co-incide with NAIDOC week celebrations, beginning 1 July.

Wiradjuri Talkback will celebrate the perspectives and traditional knowledge of the Albury Wodonga region’s Aborigi-nal people.

It showcases a powerful and thought-provoking blend of traditional and con-temporary elements illustrating the rich cultural traditions of Wiradjuri country.

Items on display range from a bark canoe, hunting equipment, boomerangs and possum-skin cloaks plus many oth-ers.

One of the possum-skin cloaks was created by Yorta Yorta artist Treahna Hamm and was worn by Ngambri-Ngunnawal elder Aunty Matilda House-Williams when she witnessed the historic apology from the federal government in Canberra.

Local Indigenous pastor Darren Wighton said it was a great opportunity for all in the community to have a look and learn about Aboriginal culture in the region.

“It gives a sense of identity for this area,” he said.

“Australia generally has an affiliation with art from the centre and up north like the dot paintings. This exhibition is about the inland people and the people of the river and it just adds that sense of unique-ness and a different type of identity that’s away from the desert.”

Wiradjuri Elder, Nancy Rooke said having such items as the intricately-designed possum-skin cloaks on display showed the importance of the women’s contribution to Indigenous society.

“This is ancient history,” Nancy said

CONTRIBUTION… Wiradjuri Elder Nancy Rooke displays one of the possum-skin cloaks on display at the new exhibition at Albury’s LibraryMuseum.

of the cloaks.“It was one of the most useful items in

this area because of the climate. Women used to make these and they’d put their mark on them so if they lost them they’d know them. It was to keep warm or have on the floor of their gunyahs and to have as a symbol of their tribe.”

Canoe project officer Richard Kenne-dy said the bark canoe program also pro-vided a sense of identity to the younger members of the Aboriginal community and was a good education tool for others who may be unsure of the culture of the Wiradjuri people in the region.

“Some people may not even know

about Aboriginal culture,” he said.“You have new Australians coming

to the country all the time and this issomewhere where they can learn about the country. They can come in and see it first hand rather than having to read it in a book or see it on TV.”

Mr Kennedy said although a bit ap-prehensive about the exhibition at first the Wiradjuri community was very proud of the completed product.

“It’s deadly,” he said.“It’s captured what we wanted to

have there to reflect out to the commu-nity, to get them to see what our culture is about.”

MERCY Hospital received a welcome boost last week when it was handed a $1000 cheque from the Chiltern Car Club and Chiltern Tourism and Development.

The money, raised from the car club’s recent Cancer Cruise and donated to the palliative care unit of the hospital, was welcomed by deputy di-rector of nursing, Kate Shanahan.

The palliative care unit is a volunteer-based organisation that supports families of patients with terminal illness.

“This money supports our volunteers who DONATION… Kevin Mayhew handed over a much appreciated donation to Kate Shanahan at Mercy Hospital. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

Car club gives again

work really hard for the organisation,” Ms Shanahan said.

“The volunteers are here supporting the fami-lies and they couldn’t provide the service they do without generous donations.”

Chairman of the Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation, Eric Turner said the Chiltern Car Club had been a major contributor to the cancerfoundation for the past 13 years.

“This was initiated by John Jamison,” Mr Turner said.

“John passed away a couple of years ago and the Chiltern Cancer Cruise has been picked up byhis wife Rachel and Chiltern Tourism and Devel-opment.

“The funds they generate each year come to the foundation and we provide support to pallia-tive care here at Mercy for the needs of the pallia-tive care volunteers.”

Mr Turner said without government funding the palliative care unit relied on donations to keepthem going and was pleased the club had contin-ued to offer support.

President of Chiltern Tourism and Develop-ment Kevin Mayhew said his organisation became involved with the car show after Mr Jamison had passed away.

He said this year’s event had been the largest he’d been involved with.

“After John passed away we approached Ra-chel and indicated that if there was no other op-tion we were quite happy to bring the Chiltern Cancer Cruise under our banner as a tourism group and to ensure the event continued on,” he said.

“The response to the cancer cruise this yearwas phenomenal. We had four food stalls pres-ent, we had the local girl guides who were able toraise more funds than they’ve ever raised before at the cancer cruise and we established a recordamount. We raised $1000 for palliative care and that’s probably almost double compared to previ-ous years.”

COMMUNITY service provider Yooralla will create new supported accommodation places for people living with a disability fol-lowing the announcement of $3.75 million in capital and recurrent funding over four years from the Victorian government.

Minister for Community Services Mary Wooldridge said it will allow the construc-tion and operation of innovative accommo-dation options for five young people in The Me, My Home, My Community project.

It will allow for the construction and op-eration of five single-bedroom units to ac-commodate young people with autism spec-trum disorder or intellectual disability who have behaviours of concern.

“Yooralla is one of nine community ser-vice organisations that have been successful in gaining funding,” Ms Wooldridge said.

“The nine projects will create a total of 65 new supported accommodation places across Victoria over the next four years.”

Member for Benambra Bill Tilley said the announcement was welcome news and a sig-nificant development for some of the most vulnerable members of the community and their families.

“This initiative is a practical demonstra-tion of this government’s commitment to de-velop an effective, evidence based response to the needs of a group that have been largely ignored in the past,” Mr Tilley said.

By TREVOR JACKSONHOW green are electric cars?

Manufacturers would have you be-lieve they are the be all and end all of environmentally-friendly motoring in the future.

They point to the distinct lack of a tailpipe and therefore no emissions, but is that really the case?

Recent studies have shown that the emissions produced by electric vehicles could be almost as high as those pro-duced by similar sized petrol-powered vehicles over the course of their life.

This is due in part to the energy re-quired to charge the battery, throughout the making of the vehicle and with the disposal of the battery systems.

But high demand on fossil fuels to run our cars has forced the hands of manufacturers and governments

around the globe.Hybrid vehicles have graced our

roads for many years now and are in-creasing in popularity with the introduc-tion of more sporty, user friendly and enjoyable-to-drive models emerging on a regular basis. The hybrid technology allows more power with less fuel con-sumption by combining the tried-and-trusted petrol engine with an electric motor to provide performance when needed, thus cutting down on fuel con-sumption and emissions.

I recently reviewed a Honda CR-Z and was very impressed with all aspects of the car.

The combined 1.5 litre petrol and 10 kW electric power-plants provided ample acceleration, with all the modern conveniences thrown in to provide a real driver’s car.

You hardly know you’re behind the

wheel of cutting edge, environmentally-friendly technology.

Personally I feel these new hybrid ve-hicles are the way of the future, the im-mediate future at least.

Their battery system is self-charging, their fuel economy and emissions are up with the best and their performance is enough to satisfy most owners seeking a spirited drive.

Of course the pure electric vehicle performance is itself impressive but with a distinct lack of range available they aren’t a viable option for many Austra-lian motorists.

Any way you look at it changes are at hand and with the electric technology now becoming more consumer-friendly it’ll be interesting to watch the progress of ‘green’ motoring into the future.

TECHNOLOGY… Vehicles such as Honda’s CR-Z are paving the way for environmentally-friendly performance motoring. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

FEATURE-PACKED… Peugeot’s 4008 SUV is set to make a splash on and off the road. Vehicle supplied by Baker Motors. Pictures: TREVOR JACKSON

Small package, big on featuresBy TREVOR JACKSONTHE small SUV market in Aus-tralia is booming and Peugeot are set to take their share with the new 4008.

It’s not uncommon these days for car-makers to join forces and swap platforms and that’s just what Peugeot has done by utilising Mit-subishi’s AS-X to create a quality small four-wheel-drive SUV.

But the 4008 is anything but a re-badged Mitsubishi. In fact, the doors, roofline and the drive train are about all that remains from the AS-X. Peugeot has made subtle and not-so-subtle changes of de-sign and creature comforts to en-sure the 4008 attracts the right buyers.

These changes include exterior body panels, stiffer suspension, wider track and a very impressive, and very Peugeot interior.

The model I tested was the high-end Allure, and from the out-side it’s quite an attractive pack-age.

The front end is very Peugeot-inspired with a large, wide grille and nice flowing lines down to the rear hatch while the tough stance is further improved by the addition of 18 inch alloy rims.

Inside is pure class with leather, soft-touch plastic and shiny piano-black finishes.

The steering wheel is a combi-nation of smooth and perforated leather and shiny black inserts with all the required controls built in.

The dashboard contains two large gauges for speed and RPM with digital readouts for various other functions such as real-time fuel economy.

The centre of the dash boasts

more of the shiny piano-black finish with a quality stereo and chrome highlights on knobs for cli-mate control. Connection for digi-tal technology is also catered for. The leather seats are comfortable and offer electric adjustments and heaters for driver and front passen-ger with ample leg and head room both front and rear. Storage space in the rear is also adequate which, with easy split-folding seats can be amplified on demand.

Vision from the high-riding driving position is very good and a reversing camera with rear-view-mirror display is handy for parking or backing out of the driveway.

The Allure comes standard with a continuously variable trans-mission, or CVT, which includes a manual mode. Both steering-column-mounted paddles and se-quential shift options are available and a round dial for the all-wheel-drive system is located in the cen-tre console. Two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive options can be selected with a lock option when the going gets extra-tough.

Peugeot claims the 4008 has ex-ceptional off-road capabilities and with its Mitsubishi heritage there’s no reason why it shouldn’t have.

My test was somewhat limited to bitumen, with just a touch of dirt thrown in, and that’s where I see this vehicle doing the majority of its work.

The two-litre petrol engine coupled to the CVT is pleasant and easy to drive. Ambling around town is made simple in “D” and a flick of the leather gear knob to one side to engage the manual op-tion allows the driver to take a bit more control. Either way power was sufficient to propel the little

SUV around in traffic and reach highway speeds comfortably. While I enjoyed the manual opera-tion of the transmission I certainly didn’t mind just letting the ma-chinery do the job. Peugeot claims fuel consumption of 8.1 litres per100 kilometres which is average in its class.

The stiffer ride proved comfort-able on the road and provided goodhandling and a feeling of sure-footed, safe driving. The small dirtsections I ventured onto offered a similar feel, and knowing the four-wheel-drive option was there, and so simple to engage, was certainly reassuring in the wet conditions.

The advantage of living on the Border is the opportunity to ex-plore and this time of year, with the snowfields at our doorstep, I would consider the 4008 to be in its ele-ment for snow-bound day-trips.

Fold the rear seats down and plenty of gear could be accom-modated, and of course if the snow was to tumble down a simple turn of the dial engages all the wheelsto ensure you get to where youneed to be.

With such a demand for ve-hicles in this class I think Peugeot has a winner on its hands.

The 4008 provides lashingsof luxury and comfort for classy, every-day driving plus the added bonus of a real four-wheel-drive option, extra ground clearance when conditions demand and Japanese-inspired reliability andperformance.

If a small SUV is on your shop-ping list be sure to check out thislatest Peugeot; I’m sure you’ll beimpressed.

A highlight of this A highlight of this edition is being able edition is being able to share the story of to share the story of NAIDOC.NAIDOC.

BEFORE the 1920s, Aboriginal rights groups boycotted Australia Day (26 January) in protest against the status and treatment of Indig-enous Australians. By the 1920s, they were increasingly aware that the broader Australian public was largely ignorant of the boycotts.

If the movement were to make progress, it would need to be active. Several organisations emerged to fill this role, particularly the Australian Aborigines Progressive Association (AAPA) in 1924 and the Australian Aborigines League (AAL) in 1932. Their efforts were largely overlooked, and due to police harassment, the AAPA abandoned its work in 1927.

In 1935, William Cooper, founder of the AAL, drafted a petition to send to King George V, asking for special Aboriginal electorates in federal par-liament. The Australian government believed that the petition fell outside its constitutional responsibilities.

On Australia Day 1938, protesters marched through the streets of Syd-ney, followed by a congress attended by over a thousand people. One of the first major civil rights gatherings in the world, it was known as the Day of Mourning.

Following the congress, a deputa-tion led by William Cooper presented Prime Minister Joseph Lyons with a proposed national policy for Aborigi-

nal people. This was again rejected because the government did not hold constitutional powers in relation to Aboriginal people.

After the Day of Mourning there was a growing feeling that it should be a regular event. In 1939 William Cooper wrote to the National Mis-sionary Council of Australia to seek their assistance in supporting and promoting an annual event.

From 1940 until 1955 the Day of Mourning was held annually on the Sunday before Australia Day and was known as Aborigines Day. In 1955 Aborigines Day was shifted to the first Sunday in July after it was decid-ed the day should become not simply a protest day but also a celebration of Aboriginal culture.

Major Aboriginal organisations, state and federal governments, and a number of church groups all sup-ported the formation of the National Aborigines Day Observance Com-mittee (NADOC).

At the same time the second Sun-day in July became a day of remem-brance for Aboriginal people and their heritage.

In 1972, the Department of Ab-original Affairs was formed as a ma-jor outcome of the 1967 referendum. In 1974, the NADOC committee

was composed entirely of Aboriginal

members for the first time. The fol-

lowing year, it was decided that the

event should cover a week, from the

first to second Sunday in July.

In 1984, NADOC asked that Na-

tional Aborigines Day be made a na-

tional public holiday to help celebrate

and recognise the rich cultural history

that makes Australia unique. While

this has not happened, other groups

have echoed the call.

1991 – Present; With a growing

awareness of the distinct cultural

histories of Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islander peoples, NADOC was

expanded to recognise Torres Strait

Islander people and culture. The

committee then became known as the

National Aborigines and Islanders

Day Observance Committee (NAID-

OC). This new name has become the

title for the whole week, not just the

day.

Each year a theme is chosen to re-

flect the important issues and events

for NAIDOC Week.

A brief history of NAIDOC

DHURANY| Community Feature

COMMUNITY… Local community members have formed a committee to work on NAIDOC week.

LOCALLY, the Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Community Working Party asked for interested community members to form a committee to work on celebrating NAIDOC week.

Ruth Davys was selected as the chairperson.NAIDOC is a standing agenda item at the

CWP with an update given every month where there is wide representation of Indigenous and Non-Indigenous government and non-govern-ment agencies and community members.

NAIDOC in Albury Wodonga is a cross-bor-der initiative, building on strong communities and partnerships. All services work towards a collec-tive goal of celebrating NAIDOC and showcasing the Albury Wodonga area.

This year the Albury Wodonga community celebrates NAIDOC Week with a wide range of events including; pride marches, flag raisings,

film sessions, various exhibitions and displays, a family fun day, traditional games, didgeridoo playing and the ever popular ten pin bowling day.

Check out the calendar and come along to one event or all of the events!

Through these events the Albury Wodonga community expresses the continued significance of NAIDOC Week as an opportunity to reflect on the struggles of our community and to celebrate our culture. Specifically, it gives us all the chance to reflect on how the establishment of the Tent Embassy remains a strong symbolic gesture that is one of our most memorable moments in our history.

NAIDOC provides opportunities for all of the community to celebrate Aboriginal culture together.

In the spotlight

THE Blue Healers – Healing through Art Project supported by a range of organisations in the re-gion has almost reached its third year.

The group, open to Aborigi-nal women meets weekly alter-nately between Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation and Al-bury Wodonga Aboriginal Health Service.

Recently the group was vis-ited by a puppeteer from South America who worked with the group and puppets housed at AWAHS.

The group spent time devel-oping a range of stories that may be incorporated into a perfor-mance at the huge contemporary Aboriginal Festival – Bundyi, being held in and around Albury in November this year.

The group is also working on production of quilts to give to the local Aboriginal organisations.

If you would like to attend a session of Blue Healers, contact Tia Day on 03 5721 9088.

RIVERINA Institute Albury Campus is offering Certificate III in Aboriginal Health for Aboriginal people who are interested in gaining this qualification lo-cally.

The course will be run one day per week and it is expected that those people wishing to undertake this course will en-

joy the benefits of local support and there will be no need to travel for this valuable training.

Some workers will be able to have their current roles and or training recog-nised as prior learning. For more infor-mation about this exciting development contact Catherine Cusack 6382 8525.

WELCOME to the new Executive Officer for Woomera Aboriginal Corporation Sylvia Pruitt.

Sylvia migrated to Australia as a young child from Mauritius in 1973 and recently moved from Melbourne to the area with her husband and five children.

They have enjoyed the move and are en-joying discovering all the amazing features the area has to offer.

“It has been an absolute delight to become part of a passionate and hard working team who are committed to supporting Aboriginal people within the region,” Sylivia said.

“Another wonderful part of the role is be-ing able to interact with the children in the preschool and see their excitement as they enter the building.”

There are many exciting projects on the horizon at Woomera including the realisation of the new Koori Kindermanna preschool building due to commence works later this year.

Sylvia is available at Woomera Aborigi-nal Corporation, located at 684 Daniel St Al-bury on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

FROM all corners of New South Wales friends, workmates, families and neigh-bours are banding together, baking, dressing up, donning their iconic red noses, and organising events to support Red Nose Day’s 25th anniversary on Fri-day 29 June.

All these events help to raise aware-ness and vital funds to enable SIDS and Kids NSW to continue to provide sup-port for families who have experienced the death of a baby or young child during pregnancy, birth, infancy or childhood.

SIDS and Kids NSW general man-ager, Ros Richardson is urging all NSW residents to be inspired by their local events and join in or create their own unique fundraising event and “be silly for a serious cause” for Red Nose Day.

Ms Richardson said many commu-nity members were organising amazing events ranging from formal dinners and family fun days to medieval fairs.

“They are all ‘Doing it in Red’,” she said.

SIDS and Kids NSW respond to re-quests for support for more than 1000 families per year throughout the state where it is estimated one in four preg-nancies ends in miscarriage and more than 800 families per year experience the death of their baby during birth or the first year of life.

“The death of one baby is said to di-rectly impact around 60 people, so this is a lot of people in one community,” Ms Richardson said.

SIDS and Kids NSW provides phone, face-to-face and online counselling ser-vices, educates the community and raises awareness about safe pregnancy, safe birth and safe sleeping.

In the last 10 years the safe sleep-ing education program has resulted in an 85 per cent reduction in sudden in-fant deaths but there is more work to be done, with unexplained stillbirth now occurring at more than 10 times the rate of Sudden Infant Death.

NSW residents are being encouraged to go all out and hold their own fundrais-ing event.

They can also purchase a Red Nose Day product, or donate online at www.rednosedaydonation.com.au

RED… NSW residents are being urged to “Do It In Red” in support of Red Nose Day on 29 July.

IN my line of business I get to see many hopeful new-release products with the vast majority not living up to the hype that goes on before the official release.

In the straight audio world there has not been a lot to cheer about other than the improved affordabil-ity until this year.

When Cambridge released The Stream Magic, the hifi enthusiast with a limited income could enter the audiophile digital era with an affordable combined streaming, 24 bit player and DAC in one box. This

year the second ground-breaking and life changing product released is the Sonos sub.

How can a sub change the world of music?

Sonos has been recognised as the best music streaming product on the planet, it works and is an easy to use family friendly product that does not cost the earth.

Sonos is a superb sounding source for multiple rooms and pa-tios with a good stereo sound but could not pack the bass to become the main sound system for many.

Enter a wireless sub that marries in with the Sonos speaker product.

What is now available is a prod-uct that can stream music from your computer and a music provider, some with 15 million songs avail-able. It can access over 20,000 radio stations and control it all from your smartphone, iPad, tablet or PC and is cosmetically discrete and afford-able.

I have just come back from the releases of a number of streaming devices to be launched shortly be-lieving Sonos will have some wor-thy challengers this year.

With the Sonos sub release the contender’s thunder has been re-moved.

By BLAIR THOMSONCHRISTINE Anu embodies the soul and spirit of legendary singer Aretha Franklin in her new show.

Rewind – The Aretha Franklin Song-book comes to the Albury Entertainment Centre on 20 July, featuring tracks from throughout Franklin’s career.

Anu told NewsWeekly she has ad-mired the talented performer for most of her life.

“Her music is embodied in who I am,” she said.

“It was on the radio when I was in the hospital when I was being born, it was on the radio in family members’ homes by default, karaoke when I was growing up and on road trips during school holidays.

“I absolutely love her.”Franklin started performing gospel

music as a teenager in 1956 and remains active today.

With such a celebrated body of work, there’s pressure on Anu to do her music justice.

“Absolutely, there’s pressure there but I have to present a show that’s not me be-ing Aretha Franklin, it’s me being me,” she said.

“I can only interpret them how I know and that’s through my own life experi-ences.

“It’s all about telling a story and cranking up some really amazing songs with a really cranking band.”

Backed by a guitarist, keyboard play-er, drums and bass, along with two sing-ers and vocals from the musicians, Anu creates a full sound.

“You can hear the way she phrases stuff, it’s got quite a gospel sound and she arranges the vocals in the most amaz-ing way,” Anu said of Franklin.

“She pulls all kinds of vocal arrange-ments out of the most amazing places.

“Its really great to be up on stage hav-ing a really big belt, hitting those high notes and singing them loud and long, night after night.”

It took Anu a lot of practice to ready her voice for the show.

At first she strained to hit the high notes for the duration of each perfor-mance, but said she has flexed her vocal muscles and “it’s all good now”.

Anu said she wouldn’t have been able to do the show early on in her career.

SOUL… Christine Anu sings the music of Aretha Franklin in her new show, which comes to Albury soon.

Songs from soul legend

“I think audiences are finally getting to see how I’ve aged like a red wine,” she said.

“It’s like you can feel the full body of work on the stage.

“With the body of work I’ve done, it’s now convincing when I sing Aretha’s songs.”

Anu recently appeared on reality weight loss show Excess Baggage.

She dropped from a size 18 dress to a “nice little size eight”, and now has more spark in her performances.

“It was terrifying doing the show,” she said.

“At the start I was ducking and weav-ing in the shadows hoping to not be seen for fear of being scrutinised by the by public.

“As the weight came off I started to

regain my confidence.“There’s now a positive light I feel

inside of me that comes through in mysinging.

“When you’re fitter, that conversation with your body, those lines of communi-cation become a lot better.

“There’s no more feeling tired or ex-hausted, it feels like I can be up on stage and sing for hours.”

While the focus of the show is clearly on Aretha Franklin, Anu performs hitsfrom her back catalogue, which includestracks like Island Home and Sunshine on a Rainy Day, in the encore.

By BLAIR THOMSON

LOCAL musicians will pay tribute to the late Mark Taylor in the best way pos-sible, with nine artists to perform at the SS&A Club on Saturday 7 July.

Taylor, known as “Penguin” to his friends, was killed in a car crash in July last year.

The guitarist and singer was regarded by many of his peers as one of the most talented local musicians.

Performing as the Electric Primitives with drummer Nathan Scholz, the duo created a unique “wall of sound” style of music reminiscent of acts like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath that was bold and powerful.

Friend and event organiser Phil Scarvell from Volume Addict remembers Mark as a friendly, easygoing guy who had immense musical talent.

“My memory of him is of a really great bloke, a really talented guitarist and singer,” he said.

“I was deeply saddened … it was a great loss that was definitely felt throughout the whole music community.

“I think there are going to be a few

tears shed and a bit of emotion at the gig, but it will also be positive as well.

“There will be some guys that played with Mark that will do some of his music on the night.”

Mia Grace & the Aviators will open the show at 2pm, followed by Alan Brol-ly, Giant 440, George MacFloyd and Volume Addict.

Funkenswinkles, Idle Fret, A Candela Lie and Concealed Agression will round out the night.

“We’re definitely looking forward to playing,” Mr Scarvell said.

“We’re donating proceeds to the Men’s Shed in Baranduda and trying to raise awareness of depression.

“I believe Mark’s ex-wife Heather’s coming down with his son and some family members.”

SS&A marketing and special projects manager Bob Harris said the gig, titled Remembering a Primitive, featured a great local line-up.

“Anyone that likes live and local mu-sic has got to come along and have a look,” he said.

“We all take it for granted but the day will come when everyone’s playing

disco and no-one’s doing any live music.“This is as good as it’s going to get.”The genre of performers will range

from metal, to acoustic, progressive rock and cover tracks.

Mr Harris said the two-piece Electric Primitives had made more of an impact on crowds than some of the five-member bands he had seen.

The duo was working on new mate-rial at the time of Mark’s death, with hopes the songs will one day be released.

“It’s mainly a gathering of Mark’s friends and close family, but it’s also di-rected at the public,” Mr Scarvell said.

“A lot of musicians don’t get to see each other play because we’ve either got gigs on the same night at different venues, or work commitments or family commitments.

“So it’s good to get them all together on the one bill.”

Tickets can be purchased prior to the event at the SS&A Club for $10, or on the door for $15.

For more information call 6041 2222.

A Brave effort but not up there with the bestBy BLAIR THOMSON

MOVIE: Brave (PG)DURATION: 93 minutesTHIS NEW offering from Disney/Pixar is a medieval adventure tale fol-lowing Princess Merida, a fiery young woman who doesn’t play by the royal rules.

The young Queen-in-waiting is much more at ease riding on horseback with a bow and arrow than acting in the dignified manor her mother, Queen Elinor, expects of her.

Being about two-decades older than the target audience makes it hard to know what kids may make of this.

But looking at it from an adult per-spective, it’s good without quite reach-ing he same standard of previous Pixar

animations like Toy Story or WALL-E.But then again, they have set the bar

pretty high.There’s definite a typical Disney

theme running through the film.Merida and Elinor are at logger-

heads as the Princess wants more free-dom and less responsibilities, and her mother wants her to grow up and start acting like a lady.

It comes to a head when the sur-rounding clans visit their castle, with each vying for the Princess’s hand in marriage.

Furious at her mother, the fiery red-head takes off on her horse into the sur-rounding jungles and has a witch cast a spell to change her.

It backfires, of course (why would

anyone trust a witch?) and her mother is transformed into a bear.

Disney has never been afraid to pull quite firmly on the heart strings.

No child likes to be separated from a parent or cause harm to a parent, and Brave taps into the guilt associated with that, and there’s also a message that “parents know best”.

While there is an element of adven-ture, the film could use a little more in-novation.

It’s visually brilliant with the ani-mation so good in parts that it looks real.

It is entertaining, but doesn’t grab you or leave you feeling particularly inspired like a good kids flick should.

The formal areas are situated to the front of the home with a sunken formal lounge complete with bay window and a large for-mal dining area.

A large kitchen is a focal point of the living area with 900mm wide stainless cooking, stainless dishwasher, breakfast bar and ample storage space with a walk-in pantry all adding to the convenience of the home.

The living area is also of am-ple proportions and leads to the tiled outdoor entertaining area.

A pergola spans the side of the home with a further vine-covered pergola providing co-lour and shade in season while a rear gate allows easy access to parklands.

Three main bedrooms, all of good size are on offer with a fourth ideal for a study or nursery.

The master bedroom in-cludes double built-in robes and a renovated ensuite while two of the remaining three offer built-in robes.

The main bathroom is spa-cious and well maintained with a separate toilet for added con-venience and an expansive laun-dry takes care of the necessities in life.

A tandem garage and a fur-ther double garage both provide access to the rear yard via roller doors and allow for easy accom-modation of three cars.

Ducted heating and cooling and a realistic price complete this impressive family home.

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Star News Group could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Star News Group will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.

LAST Saturday I witnessed something I have obviously heard about before but never experi-enced first hand. I am talking about the incident at Bunton Park North Albury that saw the Nth Al-bury Hoppers start their final quarter against the Wodonga Bulldogs with 19 men on the ground.

The fact that this occurred after the three quarter time break is difficult to comprehend at the best of times. The player in question must have been away with the stars, but what then followed was totally incomprehensible, confusing and at times chaotic. The game was held up, a count occurred and the North Albury side was informed it would loose all points previously scored in the game. That infor-mation was almost too much for some players to take with a group of Hoppers considering walk-ing off in protest. The game then recommenced.

Consider this; North Albury players had just been gutted, the game to them was over and this was very evident in their body language for the ensuing five minutes. However the Wodonga Bulldogs game plan was also influenced by the decision, as the ten point deficit at three quarter time was now a 51 point lead. It could be said that Wodonga re-started the game protecting the lead rather than trying to win it.

The confusion didn’t end there. As a radio broadcaster of the game we were being heavily relied upon to inform the listening audience as to what was happening … the only problem is, we had no idea.

We called that the Hoppers were stripped of all points, we then retracted that stand after consul-tation from the league and suggested the scores stay as is.

Then the points went away again, and then magically re appeared. The listeners would have been totally bamboozled, not to mention the sup-porters at the ground and the playing staff.

The end result is a VCFL investigation, but to me that doesn’t really help. As footy is such an emotional game it is unfair to sug-gest people weren’t influenced at the time. Players’ performances were no doubt affected, the umpires and coaches likewise, so I am a bit unsure how an investigation is going to accurately determine exactly what affect the incident had on the end result.

It must be said that all parties involved han-dled themselves in an extremely respectful and professional manner. With finals aspirations at

stake for both clubs I only hope I can still say the same at the end of the investigation. This week-end we will be another step closer to discover-ing who will and will not make up the final five.

YARRAWONGA v WODONGA RAIDERS The shoot-out between the league’s two lead-ing goal kickers, Brendan Fevola and Patrick Rose will be worth the admission fee alone with both players still on track to reach the tonne. The Raiders will need to upset the Pigeons to keep their top three chances alive. I am really looking forward to the midfield battle between some of the league’s most elite. Yarrawonga’s Morris medalist Craig Ednie and Michael Ste-vens are as good as you’ll get. Tyler Bonat has also laid claims to the medal this season and the trio mean that Fev is not starved for scoring op-portunities. Raiders’ former Collingwood and North Melbourne on-baller Ben Davies has been his side’s stand-out this season and teamed with Luke Schilg, Mark Doolan and David Stretton will no doubt cause Yarrawonga some concerns. The home ground advantage and the accu-racy of Fevola will most likely be the differ-ence in the end. Yarrawonga by 19 points.

WANGARATTA V NTH ALBURY The Hoppers remain the only other side that can make the final five and they need to once again defeat the Magpies as they did in round two. If they can put aside the emotion of last week’s in-cident and continue to have a more even spread of goal kickers they should keep the dream alive. Nth Albury by 16 points.

ALBURY Wodonga Bandits have slipped to third on the South Conference ladder after an 87-72 loss Saturday night to powerhouse club Knox Raiders. And the Lady Bandits also pulled up short with an 86-54 loss.

Despite a strong opening term the Lady Bandits struggled for the major-ity of the game, eventually succumbing to the Raiders while the men ran out of steam down the stretch against the con-ference leaders. A positive for the girls was the return of Maddy Plunkett, add-ing much-needed strength under the basket, but they were still out-rebounded 49-26. Nya Mason top scored for the home side with 16 points while Alex Duck chipped in with 14.

The first half of the men’s game had the home side looking the goods but a resurgent Raiders piled on the pressure in the final half to put an end to the Ban-dits’ hopes of regaining their home-court dominance this season.

Jazzmarr Ferguson was again impres-sive for the home side with 17 points while Ben Hollis chipped in with 13. Big men Mohamed Ntumba and Alex Opacic struggled while Jack Duck and Nick Payne both reached double figures with 12 and 11 respectively.

Despite the loss the Bandits are still looking strong, sitting in third position on the South Conference ladder but they set off for a tough double-header road trip to Tasmania this weekend to kick off a road-trip-heavy last half of the season that coach Brad Chalmers expected to be challenging.

“Going down to Tassie is always a tough trip,” he said.

“They’re two quality teams at the minute that are playing really well and they’re just behind us, nipping at our heels. Hobart’s won 10 games now so they’re similar in their record and North West Tassie are starting to get their act together as well.”

Chalmers said a couple of missed op-

portunities recently had hurt the teambut he said they just needed to focus and continue working hard.

He said overall everyone was pleased with their effort so far.

“Talking pre-season where we were going to be you probably wouldn’t ex-pect us to be in the position we’re in halfway through the season,” he said.

“In that regard it’s really pleasing, but at the same time there’s been a couple of opportunities missed along the way. Sat-urday night I thought we started well but they (Knox) are a very good team and that’s part and parcel - sometimes you’re going to win and sometimes you’re go-ing to lose.

“We’re still really positive and really up-beat. We’ve got a great team, a great squad with good chemistry and we’ve just got to continue to work hard.

“That’s the biggest thing; you can’t take any nights off otherwise these teams will beat you.”

SHORT… Even the return of Maddy Plunkett to the Lady Bandits’ line-up wasn’t enough to spur them across the line against Knox Raiders Saturday night at Lauren Jackson Sports Centre. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

SIX hours of mountain biking around Nail Can Hill is what com-petitors face this Saturday, 30 June when round five of the Victorian Enduro series comes to the Border.

The Pushy’s 6 Hour, hosted by Albury Wodonga Mountain Bikers, will challenge riders of all abilities and is sure to provide plenty of ac-tion for spectators with some of the best mountain bikers around the state competing.

The Elite category riders should complete up to 13 laps, covering approximately 130km and climb-ing over 2300 metres during the race.

AWMTB president Anthony Cheesman said it had become a popular event amongst the wider mountain biking fraternity.

“This is the third consecutive year that Albury Wodonga Moun-tain Bikers has hosted this event which has become highly regarded amongst the mountain biking com-munity,” he said.
