RSL’s call to arms By ERIN SOMERVILLE
Wodonga RSL President Kevyn Williams would like to see more support for struggling young service personnel. 146713 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE it affects people.” The Wodonga RSL has spent $50,000 this year supporting young families of service personnel on the Border that have been discharged from the army for mental or physical reasons. For many service personnel affected by post-traumatic stress, experiencing the horrors of war and seeing first-hand life in a war-torn country can make it hard to re-adjust to life back
home. Mr Williams said the loss of work, discipline, and routine for a discharged service person could often exacerbate their fragile well-being. “When a solder is broken, they still need to be paid, but when they are discharged for medical reasons they all of a sudden find themselves unemployed. “There is still a lot left that they can offer.”
The Defence Force was contacted for comment, but was unable to provide a response before publishing deadline. Despite the reported significant rate in young soldiers suffering, Mr Williams said few of them were members of an RSL club. He said many ex-servicemen and their families had benefited from the support the club offered. “There’s an emphasise through the
RSL that we are not a place to congregate and have a few beers. “It’s a place to congregate for friendship, family, and support.” “Young people think it’s for old people, but it’s not. “We have spent a lot of money at the RSL trying to bring it back in line with the 20th century. “We have 150 new members in the last two years.”

A BORDER RSL president has called on the defence force to provide better support for its injured personnel. Wodonga RSL President and Hume Veterans’ Information Centre volunteer Kevyn William’s call comes as the nation prepares to pause at 11am on Wednesday to remember all Australians who have died in conflict. But he says a personal war is still raging for many disabled and discharged service personnel living on the Border. The Hume Veterans’ Information Centre handles around 6000 files for veterans in northeast Victoria and southern New South Wales, and regularly sees many forms of post-traumatic stress and depression affecting ex-servicemen. “We are seeing a lot of young soldiers that have breakdowns,” Mr Williams said. Many of the soldiers Mr Williams sees have sustained physical injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder that has led to their discharge from the armed services, which can lead to difficulty in returning back to civilian life or finding fulfilling work. “I’d like to see the armed services retain some of these disabled people and find meaningful work for them rather than discharging them and forgetting about them,” he said. “Young soldiers that have a breakdown are all of a sudden billed with post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression and it makes it very hard to function in the real world because they’ve been labelled with that disability. “When they go for employment, they are usually asked if they have a disability and they have to admit they have had post-traumatic stress or an injury. “Every case is different, and when you are talking about post-traumatic stress there are varying degrees of how

Crime gang weapons fear WODONGA police are appealing for information on a criminal gang that has committed over 30 commercial burglaries in the region this year and could be armed and dangerous. “We had a call over (Monday) night that this gang could be responsible for a burglary where firearms have been stolen, which is cause for concern,” Wodonga Detective Sergeant Graeme Simpfendorfer said. “If someone knows or wants to say something now is the time with firearms in the picture.” Police are also appealing for the anonymous caller who gave the information via Crimestoppers to come forward to help police. The information comes after police released footage on Monday morning in their latest appeal to find the criminal gang that has caused
tens of thousands of dollars in damage and theft to businesses in the region. The latest images come from the gang’s attack on a Rutherglen service station in the early hours of 24 August, where they unsuccessfully tried to rob an ATM. Det Sgt Simpfendorfer is appealing for any public member with information to come forward. The criminal gang is believed to be between four to six members strong, with members aged between 20 to 25 years. They typically cover their heads with T-shirts and their hands with socks in an attempt to hide their identities. Cash, cigarettes, and food are the main items being stolen during their criminal activities. The gang’s
last burglary was on 15 October, at a Rutherglen service station, about 3.20am. Police say the burglaries are occurring in regional and rural areas, and have included Chiltern, Rutherglen, Yackandandah, Tallangatta, and Barnawartha. Police say the burglaries are carried out in a similar style, often appear ad-hoc, and the gang responsible is believed to have a ringleader. “In the footage we have viewed from all offences it is clear there is one leader among the group. “This leader steers the direction of the offending, their timings, and how quick they are in their offending, so our focus on the moment is trying to identify who that is, so if anyone does recognise the clothing or the actions of the male we would appreciate some assistance.”
Police have released latest images of a criminal gang targeting north-east Victorian businesses. Picture: WODONGA POLICE
Plans to expand as many flee the violence By ERIN SOMERVILLE AN Albury-based facility that provides refuge for women who are homeless or fleeing domestic violence has unveiled plans to upgrade and expand. Over $200,000 worth of refurbishment has been planned by Betty’s Place staff, who are eager to boost the facility’s capacity and support services to meet the demand from the hundreds of women and families on the Border who are victims of domestic violence. The upgrades are expected to take around five years to complete as a result of staff constantly having to seek funding for their projects. The plans include turning the facility into a less communal-focused facility, and establishing self-contained units. This will include a new family unit in addition to the four currently available, three new units for single women, an upgrade to the existing single unit, as well as a therapeutic room for both adults and children affected by domestic violence and abuse. Betty’s Place program manager Cassie Sandow said follow-on support was crucial for helping victims heal and build a better life. “Breaking the cycling of domestic violence is really difficult,” she said. “Victims of domestic violence often
Betty’s Place program manager Cassie Sandow and well-being and therapeutic worker Shayli Ballard look forward to seeing the facility develop. 146667 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE go to other relationships that are similar. “Research has found if a child is a victim of abuse they can often become the perpetrator themselves or the victim, because that’s the norm for them.” The plan will also see the current intake room become a lounge area for an existing family unit, upgrade bathroom facilities and the laundry, turn the communal kitchen into an office and meeting space, and provide easy outdoor access for all units while maintaining security.
Neighbourhood Barbecues
Children who often spend time at Betty’s Place will also benefit from the upgrades, with shade being placed over the current play gym, and a basketball court including a hopscotch design being created for further play space. Staff would also like to see more case managers on site, with two currently based at Betty’s Place. It is a big job, but the team at Betty’s Place say it’s one that needs to be done as reports of domestic violence continue to rise both locally and nationally. The occupancy rate at Betty’s Place is sitting at around 70 per cent for 2015 with around a 24-hour turnover. Women who seek refuge are aged from 17 to 70, and come from all socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnicity. But staff say Betty’s Place could easily be full at any given night if residential dynamics and maintenance weren’t taken into consideration to offer their clients the best possible care and assistance. Ms Sandow said the most challenging part will be securing funding to upgrade the facility to help it effectively meet the needs of the local community. “This will allow us to accommodate for more women.” For those in need of assistance, phone Youth and Family Services on 1800 885 355.
Police issue warning after cyclist’s death By ERIN SOMERVILLE POLICE have issued a caution to cyclists after a fatal incident in which a man was hit by a four-wheel drive in Milawa on Saturday. The cyclist, believed to be aged in his forties or fifties, was riding west along Snow Road towards Oxley on a recumbent bike when he was hit by a white Nissan Patrol 4WD utility just before 4.25pm. The driver and sole occupant of the car, a 51-year-old Linton man, stopped and called triple-zero (000) and was taken by police for questioning, but has since been released. Snow Road was closed in both directions between Milawa and Oxley on Saturday afternoon while the Major Collision Investigation Unit inspected the scene. Police confirmed the low-line visibility of the recumbent bicycle had played a role in the tragic accident. Wangaratta Senior Constable Patrick Murray said cyclists needed to remain vigilant on the roads. “Obviously the same road rules

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Asbestos: it’s everywhere
Fire spotting pilot Ian Douglas, Fire Boss pilot Frank Kent, and DELWP Ovens manager Jarrod Hayse welcome in the aircraft for the Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE bushfire season. 146590
Firies in the skies By ERIN SOMERVILLE A RANGE of firefighting aircraft have touched down at Albury airport to help safeguard the region for the 2015/16 bushfire season. The fleet includes nine aircraft based across the Hume region and will be shared between the Country Fire Authority and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). The aircraft includes light to heavy helicopters, fixed-wing air-
craft, and water bombers, with three planes based in Albury. Among those stationed on the Border is the Fire Boss, which is able to scoop water from large water surfaces such as the Hume Weir without stopping. While this plane is mainly used in North America and Europe, it is becoming more popular in Australia. The Hume fleet will help firefighters on the ground in areas such as Ovens, Mansfield, Shepparton,
Large umbrella range onsite staring from $599
Albury Wodonga, and Benalla by dropping water, foam or retardant, as well as provide information from the skies. Already weeks into the bushfire danger period, which began early this year due to a dry winter and spring, the fleet of aircraft is expected to be an asset to the region. “The information coming from the Bureau of Meteorology and locally shows we have had a very dry winter and very dry spring, which is
usually an indicator for a busy summer,” DELWP Oven District manager Jarrod Hayse said. The aircraft are unable to extinguish bushfires alone, but with the assistance of firefighters on the ground can help reduce the severity of each fire. The bushfire danger period will be in place until 1 May, 2016, meaning no fires can be lit on private land in the Hume region without a permit.
THE dangers of potentially deadly asbestos were unearthed by Albury mayor Hank van de Ven after he had unknowingly been working closely with the material. It is thanks to the information he gathered during last year’s Asbestos Awareness Month that Mr van de Ven was able to manage the asbestos at his workplace without endangering himself and employees. “I recently wanted to do improvements to my work premises, found asbestos and knew I needed to make special provisions to handle it," he said. “So it is everywhere!" Cr van de Ven had intended to paint the ceiling but recognised it was asbestos, called in experts and installed a false ceiling to block off the material. Mr van de Van’s story comes as AlburyCity gears up to support Asbestos Awareness Month in November and urges residents to be alert to the dangers of working with asbestos during home renovations and maintenance. Residents are encouraged to visit asbestosawareness.com.au to do a safety check and learn how to safely manage materials containing asbestos. Every home built before the mid-1980s is likely to contain asbestos. If left undisturbed, asbestos generally does not pose a health risk. When disturbed during home maintenance and DIY projects, asbestos fibres can be released into the air. When inhaled, asbestos fibres can cause lifethreatening diseases including cancer, pleural disease and mesothelioma. Cr van de Ven said one in three Australian homes contained asbestos in some form or another. “With the popularity of home renovation programs rising, inspiring an ongoing boom in renovations, now more than ever before we want all homeowners, renovators, tradies and handymen to learn how to protect themselves and their families from dangerous asbestos fibres," he said.

Living with a lower impact By ERIN SOMERVILLE LIVING sustainably doesn’t have to be hard. That’s the message organisers of Sustainable Living Week - kicking off on Saturday - hope the community will embrace. The event at the Lincoln Causeway will allow residents to sample fresh produce direct from local farmers and learn sustainable practices to make a real difference in the community. “It’s what we are all about,” Albury mayor Hank van de Ven said. “Personally, I am trying to reduce my reliance on coal power, and have installed solar panels, use solar water, and drive a more fuel-efficient car.” Wodonga mayor Rodney Wangman said that in the decade he had been involved in council, he has seen a significant push towards more sustainable living, with council reclaiming, re-using and recycling 84 per cent of its material today compared to 45 per cent around 10 years ago. Some highlights of Sustainablity Week include creating critters from salvaged metal, “speed dating” sustainable designers, and Luke R. Davies and the Recycled String Band Duo who will be playing music and demonstrating home-made instruments. Joanne Diver, the Backyard Garden Enthusiast, will be holding demonstrations on how to make a bee hotel from wood or mud. The design aims to harbour native bees and wasps that don’t sting and help pollinate gardens.
Greenwaste diversion officer Michelle Wilkinson shows off the bee inn with Wodonga mayor Rodney Wangman, CSU Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE head of campus Julie Cleary, and Albury mayor Hank van de Ven. 146484 Seed Savers Albury-Wodonga will also demonstrate seed saving techniques and how saving seed can help you grow a great kitchen garden. Parents can also learn a few tricks with HalveWaste to reduce nappies in landfill, which are responsible for a large
amount of waste, and use alternative sources. Charles Sturt University head of campus Albury Wodonga Julie Cleary joined the Sustainable Living Week announcement and said the university strove to incorporate green practices into the facility
that would hopefully inspire others who visit or study to live cleaner amongst the environment. The university has won awards for its innovative green practices, including rammed earth used in the building, alternative methods of heating
and cooling, and compost toilets. Sustainable Living Week runs on the Border from 7 to 14 November, and kicks off at on Saturday at Lincoln Causeway from 8am until noon. Visit wod.city/slw2015 to find out about more events.
Support growing for nappy group THE third Nappy Collective, collection has been hailed a success with nappy donations hitting 5385 this time. Border/North East Regional Manager for the collective, Sophie Richards said this was an increase by 800 on their previous collection back in May. “Given our first collection in October last year was only 450 it just keeps growing,” she said. “It is really great and means that we are meeting the demand as more beneficiaries come on board.” Sophie runs the Nappy Collective on the Border with the help of seven other volunteers and the support of Hard Waste and the Rotary Club of Albury Hume (who come on board to help at collection time). The Nappy Collective operates in little pockets around Australia and sees people donate nappies to go towards victims of domestic violence who are fleeing their home. However she said while the event is run nationally the nappies stay in their local area. She said someone’s spare nappies could then go to local agencies easing there financial burden to supply basics and then helping ease the burdens of their clients. “It is a beautiful flow-on affect just from a left-over disposable nappy,” she said. “It is really just about supporting a neighbour in need.” Sophie said they hope to run another collection day next year - hopefully in May close to Mother’s Day, but that was yet to be confirmed.

Wigs for putting the love back in By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE Brave Hearts Wig Library has been helping boost women’s confidence for a decade as they offer cancer sufferers a range of wigs to hire for just $50. This spring, the much-loved Wig Library has returned to its home at the Murray Valley Private Hospital where it began in 2005, allowing easier access for cancer patients. The library had previously been operating from a private consultant before the private hospital generously donated a room on site in October for the volunteers to work from. Brave Hearts president Jenny Black said easy accessibility was important for cancer patients. “It was vitally important that the Wig Library is as accessible as possible for women in our region. “It is difficult enough for those going through cancer treatment and if we can help in a positive and affordable way to help bolster their self-esteem during this time, we will be thrilled. “This is the main reason that Brave Hearts was formed in the first place and we are so fortunate to be able to revitalise this service for the women in our region”. Brave Hearts Wig co-ordinator Di Laundess, who has had her own battle with cancer, said offering affordable wigs can make a huge impact on the selfesteem and well-being of many women who come through their door. “For some people it doesn’t matter as much, but for someone like me it was very important,” she said.

Zabuui Hair Designers of Wodonga also kindly volunteer their skills to tailor a wig if it’s needed. Brave Hearts hope to see the wig library eventually moved to the new Cancer Centre in Albury.
The library, which is financially supported by Brave Hearts on the Murray and run by volunteers and is open from 10am to 2pm each Tuesday and Thursday. If this time is not convenient an appointment can be made by ringing Di Laundess on 0421 173 545. Brave Hearts are also calling out for more volunteers to staff the Wig Library and to bolster the small band of volunteers already available. If anyone feels that they can help - no experience required - please call Di Laundess on 0421 173 545 or email contact@braveheartsonthemurray.com.au

Ms Nunn is wellknown in Australia for starring on The Box, Prisoner, A Country Practice, Sons and Daughters, and most commonly as Ailsa from Home and Away. As Ms Nunn stopped in for high tea at the Atura, locals also learnt she has written 13 full-length novels, as well as a handful of children’s books and eBook specials. Her visit to the Border comes alongside the launch of her latest novel Spirits of the Ghan, which last week debuted at number one on the iBooks charts. Ms Nunn is undertaking a five-week, Australiawide tour following the launch, with Albury fans lucky enough to get to stop in early and say hello.
The Light Clock as shown on Chris Carter's website for his latest invention.
Taking the time to innovate By ERIN SOMERVILLE
Judy Nunn stopped in at Albury at the weekend to promote her Picture: ADAM WILSON latest book. 146683
WODONGA Mars engineer Chris Carter has taken his curiosity in electronics and turned it into a colourful project proving popular online. What simply started off as an experiment with a clock and LED lighting has turned into a hot crowd-funded Kickstarter project, with Mr Carter reaching about half of his $30,000 target in just 48 hours for his invention The Light Clock. “Essentially it was just me wanting to teach myself an electronics project,” he said. “I got a lot of feedback on Facebook from people asking if
they could have one.” The Light Clock is described as part art-piece, part timepiece, and is a modern take on the classic analogue clock. Where a traditional clock face uses hands to tell the time, The Light Clock turns a whole wall into a timepiece through a display of coloured light chosen by the user. The positive feedback pushed Mr Carter to put the idea on the crowd-funding website Kickstarter, and the support quickly came in. Already he has received three-times as much funding as he expected. A $30,000 target will al-
low him to produce 150 Light Clocks. Conquering the manufacturing side to produce a high quantity of clocks was the main challenge Mr Carter said he has had to overcome when working on the project. But despite the popularity of the invention, Mr Carter is content in keeping his passion for clocks and inventions as a hobby. “If this does well I’d like to make a smaller desk clock, and a large installation clock for The Cube in Wodonga.” To see more of the local Light Clock, visit www.thelightclock.com

Letters New economic order I MUST admit I do not like saying anything nice about politicians; it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But the last two minister for immigration that we have had must be congratulated for their fight against economic transients, otherwise called asylum seekers or boat people. They both have done a top job, Scott Morrison and the now Peter Dutton who keeps on keeping on. Even Tony Abbott had the good sense to be awake to the lurks and perks of what was happening. Just one show of making just one mistake, and all will be lost, we will end up just like Europe today and, believe me, are they in trouble. It will rear its ugly head in just a few years’ time. I pity the people. Peter Dutton must never, ever, ever listen to the likes of Sarah Hanson-Young, the United Nations, or anybody else that wishes to make our once great country a complete dumping ground for those wishing to find a spot in a better economical way of life, not running away from something, but running to something. They wish to get for nothing but feeling sorry for them. Keep up the good work Peter Dutton. I am on your side forever. Bill Whitham, Tallangatta.
Efforts light dark nights ON behalf of the Leukaemia Foundation and Victorian families affected by blood cancer, I would like to thank the local team behind Albury/ Wodonga’s stunning Light the Night event on 27 September. For the first time in Light the Night’s eight year history, almost 100 walks were organised in cities and towns across the country giving more Australians the chance to shine this spring. The success of the event at Wodonga
Raiders Football and Netball Club, which raised more than $6100 in vital funds, is a credit to the dedication and hard work of those community supporters, led by host Sue Odgers, who volunteered their efforts to make the night possible. The event highlights included live entertainment by the Wodonga Brass Band as well as local musicians Ella Taig and Maddi Wea, a sausage sizzle run by Wodonga Central Rotary Club and a raffle. The evening concluded with the Light the Night twilight walk. With a local attendance of more than 200 people, I would like to thank the community which participated by carrying a lantern and giving generously to the Albury/Wodonga walk. Your support will go a long way in helping to create a brighter future for people with blood cancer. We all need a little light in our lives. This sentiment couldn’t ring truer for about 3000 Victorians who are expected to be diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders this year. The money you’ve raised will mean the Leukaemia Foundation can give them the free emotional and practical support they need and drive important research to find the cures of tomorrow. Thanks to Light the Night supporters in Victoria. So far more than $441,560 has been raised towards the shared goal of $1.5 million nationally this year. We encourage your readers that it’s not too late to be part of this inspiring event. You can continue support for Albury/ Wodonga’s Light the Night by searching for and making a donation to community host Sue Odgers at lightthenight.org.au or by calling 1800 500 088. As the Leukaemia Foundation receives no ongoing government funding, we can’t thank you enough for helping to continue our important work. Stephanie Hechenberger, Leukaemia Foundation.

Ball hears hero’s story By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE inaugural White Ribbon Ball in Wodonga on Saturday night raised $25,000 to tackle the issue of family violence on the Border. About 200 people were at The Cube Wodonga to hear Victoria Cross recipient Mark Donaldson tell his story of the day he earned the Victoria Cross as well as the more personal details of the disappearance, presumed murder, of his mother when he was a young man. The SAS soldier implored all in the community to be the role models on how women are treated. White Ribbon Ambassador and Wodonga councillor Mark Byatt said the ball was the first step in raising awareness and funds to face the issue in the local community. “It’s time, we as a community, take ownership of this issue and work together to make a difference
in our community on the issue of family violence,” Cr Byatt said. “The funds raised at the White Ribbon Ball are the start of an ongoing fund to support education programs in our local schools and to support victims of family violence in the future. “Violence against women is never a private issue. This event aims to help break the silence around violence, to raise funds and awareness of the issue to support the work to bring violence against women to an end.” Cr Byatt thanked the community, and particularly local businesses, for their strong show of support in turning out for the ball and being a part of the campaign to tackle the issue. The ball was hosted by Wodonga Council, AlburyCity and Victoria Police. It is hoped the White Ribbon Ball will become an annual event.

Steve’s out to fix skipped beat in rhythm of life By ERIN SOMERVILLE STEVE Quinn didn’t know much about atrial fibrillation when he was diagnosed with the heart condition at 35, but is now encouraging Border residents to become familiar with the beat of their own heart. The irregular heartbeat condition can trigger heart attacks and strokes, and is more common than people realise, affecting half a million Australians. In a bid to raise awareness of arrhythmia and irregular heartbeat, Mr Quinn has established the national charity Paceline and is calling for Australians living with an irregular heartbeat to register their willingness to donate blood for use in landmark research, conducted by the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. His call comes as he passes through Yackandandah on a ride from Canberra to Melbourne to help raise funds and awareness for the cause. “People should be aware of an irregular heartbeat, it’s not something they should fob off,” he said. ‘For me, it was the odd palpitation, and as it got progressively more serious over time I decided to have it checked out with a doctor.” The diagnosis took around two years, with Mr Quinn’s odd heartbeats often hard for specialists to detect. “You have less capacity to do things and
can be quite tired and lethargic all the time because you’re not getting good blood.” One-in-five sufferers are unaware that they have the heart condition, putting them at imminent risk of stroke or heart attack. An irregular heartbeat can be detected by a simple pulse check. The condition costs the Australian economy a staggering $1.25 billion every year, with Mr Quinn arguing that there is a powerful economic case for government to scale up investment in research. Experts say that while a biobank dedicated to investigating the genetic cause and potential treatment of irregular heartbeats would be ideal, this would only be possible with government investment. In the meantime, existing biobanks are being urged to include cell lines from people with a heart irregularity.

Remembrance Day
Show your support on Poppy Day FEDERAL Farrer MP Sussan Ley and Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Stuart Robert are encouraging Farrer residents to pay their respects on Remembrance Day on Wednesday. Every year at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, Australians pause to remember all those who have died or suffered for Australia’s cause in all wars and armed conflicts. “On Remembrance Day, we especially honour the more than 102,000 Australians who have made the ultimate sacrifice and urge you to observe a minute’s silence on Wednesday morning,” Ms Ley said. Border residents are also encouraged to attend a local commemorative ceremony and purchase a red poppy, part of the RSL’s fund-raising to assist former and current members of the Australian Defence Force and their families. It was 97 years ago the Armistice ended World War I, with all fighting ceasing at 11am on 11 November, 1918. “This Remembrance Day, especially during the Anzac Centenary commemorative period of 2014-2018, we pay tribute to all those who have died or suffered serving our country over the past century.” Meanwhile, Albury Wodonga shoppers have raised over $9000 for the Bravery Trust through shopping at Coles. The Bravery Trust is a charity that goes towards helping veterans with financial assistance to support them with bills, education and training, transport, food, healthcare, and many of their other needs while they are suffering as a result of their service to the country. Shoppers can continue to raise money in the lead up to Remembrance Day by purchasing donation cards at the checkout of their local Coles. For details on locations of services in Farrer, please call Ms Ley’s office on 1300 303 203. More information on the tradition of Remembrance Day is available at www.rslnsw.org.au
Bravery Trust Ambassador and Victoria Cross recipient Daniel Keighran is grateful to see over $9000 has been raised on the Border for the program. 146691
Our team – Nigel Horne, Elaine Jones, Carolyn Hassarati, and Lorrae Kovacs, acknowledge and appreciate the effort and sacrifices of our Defence Force personnel – past, present, and future. The men and women of our Army, Navy, and Air Force have every reason to be proud of themselves, their predecessors, and those who will follow. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is when the guns fell silent in the Great War of 1914-18. However, on this day we remember, recognise, and reflect on the sacrifices made by Australians in all wars and conflicts – from the Boer War to current operations. Lest We Forget.

Quality work fitting in nicely SINCE 1950 Wodonga Joinery has been providing the community with top-quality craftsmanship to complement local homes and businesses. Managing director Tim Gilbert joined the team in January and is the fourth owner to have taken over the reins in the past 65 years. He is dedicated to maintaining the specialised service for which the business has become renowned. “It’s the diversity of the work that we do that helps us stand apart,” Mr Gilbert said. The business specialises in solid timber and uses a mix of new and vintage machines to achieve a quality finish across its projects. With many businesses and manufacturers preferring to use the quicker and cheaper alternative of laminates, finding skilled staff like those at Wodonga Joinery is becoming increasingly rare. “We are one of the few remaining solid timber joinery specialists around.” Wodonga Joinery has three dedicated and skilled staff on site to deliver products to deadline.
The team is happy to work with clients who come in with an idea and help them shape it into a reality. The business can supply new or reclaimed timber for a project or work with timber that customers may be holding onto and dream of turning into a finished product, such as a coffee table or desk. Its new six metre slab planer is perfect for dressing and finishing natural slabs and beams. Team members are also highly skilled in restorative work and are specialists when it comes to matching heritage mouldings for skirting, architraves, weatherboards and even floorboards. Restoring furniture is also a service they offer. Some of their work can be seen at the new Murray Art Museum Albury in the form of red gum seating. With a natural look and feel, being environmentally friendly when sourced correctly, and providing a topquality finish, solid timber is the way to go for the next furniture project. For more information contact www.wodongajoinery.com.au.
Wodonga Joinery staff Tim Gilbert, Ty Chalwell, and Joel Wright produce high-quality solid timber products. 146601
Pool health checks POOL owners are being urged to check the safety and health of their pool as the swimming season kicks off after research from Poolwerx revealed a staggering 40 per cent of pool owners failed to regularly inspect the safety of their pool area. A further 40 per cent failed to maintain healthy pH and chlorine levels throughout winter with 53 per cent of people regarding winter as an opportunity to forgo regular maintenance because they weren’t using their pools. Poolwerx Albury owner Robert Hudson said the Poolwerx Healthy Pools Survey revealed that Australians were not taking enough precautions to protect their family during the swimming season. “Being a pool owner comes with a lot of responsibility that people need to take very seriously,” he said. “It’s a common misconception that a pool doesn’t need regular water tests when there are no people swimming in it but water health can deteriorate quickly and be a health hazard for families with ear, nose and throat infections all side effects of swimming in a dirty pool.” Research also showed that 44 per cent of pool owners didn’t have an up-to-date CPR chart displayed within their pool area despite it being a government requirement, while many didn’t even know what their state pool laws were. “Children, especially, are drawn to water like magnets so it’s important people have a full understanding of the safety requirements because the consequences can be life threatening.
Wodonga Joinery Established 1950
Ensure the pool environment is safe. “As a partner of Laurie Lawrence’s Kids Alive program we have a definite focus on safety and with a 30 per cent increase in drownings of kids under five it is imperative pool owners are diligent about ensuring their pool is a safe swimming zone. “People can find out from their council the local regulations they need to adhere to but critical steps are to ensure pool gates and fences are in good condition, including a self-locking gate latch, and that there are no objects surrounding the pool a child could use to enter the pool area. “A clearly visible CPR chart should also be displayed inside the pool area.” Robert said there were five easy steps to a safe and healthy pool for the swimming season ahead. 1. Ensure the pH level is within healthy levels. A pool’s pH level should always remain between 7.2 and 7.6. 2. Ensure the pool environment is safe such as the pool
fence and gate are secure and having an updated CPR chart available will ensure that everyone will be safe in and around the pool. If unsure people should get a licensed pool inspector to conduct an audit. 3. Check pool equipment to ensure it is running properly. The last thing you want is for your equipment to fail in the middle of a blistering hot summer. Check equipment for problems and don’t be afraid to upgrade - it could save you money down the track. 4. Chlorinate the pool to disinfect all microorganisms. Chlorine levels should remain at two to three PPM to destroy all microorganisms that can cause health issues. 5. Vacuum and skim the pool regularly, and organise regular professional check-ups. Cleaning a pool regularly removes debris that allows algae to thrive and a regular pool maintenance schedule will ensure healthy, clean pool water throughout the year.

Sickly sweet, in a good way Man Up (M) Starring: Simon Pegg, Lake Bell, Henry Lloyd-Jones, Rory Kinnear BOY meets girl but it’s the wrong girl - or is she? This is a frantic fast-paced American-British rom-com that showcases Simon Pegg at his manic and fraught best with an equally impressive performance from Lake Bell. Nancy (Bell) is a 34-yearold journalist, still single (in a family where long and happy marriages are the norm) and exhausted and overwhelmed by the endless futile set-ups foisted upon her by her well-meaning but totally clueless family and friends. Disillusioned by romance (and a particularly bad set-up at an engagement party) she’s making her way to her parents' 40th anniversary party, traversing London by train when
she meets one of those perky 24-year-olds that know everything and are so annoying that you really just want to chew your own arm off to get away from them. She manages not to kill “Jessica” with her all-important self-help book by going to sleep but when she wakes said book is left in front of her. Thing is the book is the way that “Jessica” is going to be recognised by Jack (Simon Pegg) - a 40-year-old on the eve of a messy divorce - her blind date for the day but of course through a series of mishaps it’s Nancy and not Jessica that meets Jack. In a totally uncharacteristic moment of pure optimism the cynical and slightly anal Nancy decides to go with it. From there it’s a blur of awkward dates as these two emotional cripples get to know each other, add a crazy ex-school
friend of Nancy’s (played so brilliantly and creepily by Rory Kinnear that he is in danger of stealing the movie), Jack’s exwife, a group of drunken teenagers and her parents' party and we are all in for a wild ride. Man up starts in a whirl of colour and movement and has a delicious Brit-pop sound track that helps to keep it moving along at a cracking pace. By the end of it, it’s hard not to feel a little dizzy and slightly exhausted but it’s fun and the characters are brilliantly neurotic and while it has its schmaultzy moments these are mostly well-balanced by the slapstick comedy (the “triathlon” and “reflex” scenes come to mind). This is a smart and fast romantic comedy with just enough saccharine to leave you satisfied but not put you into a rom-com diabetic coma. - Tania Phillips

World-class musician performs THE exhilarating sounds of concert pianist Simon Tedeschi are set to fill the Albury Botanic Garden when the world-class musician performs a free concert there on 15 November. He has performed for the likes of Luciano Pavarotti, the Dalai Lama, George W. Bush, Vladimir Putin and Hu Jin Tao. Now Albury residents have the chance to catch concert pianist Simon Tedeschi in a special free concert held in the gorgeous surrounds of Albury Botanic Garden on Sunday 15 November. This performance, part of AlburyCity Council’s Music in the Gardens series, is presented by AlburyCity and Johnsons MME in association with Musica Viva Australia. Renowned for his perfect combination of technical bril-
liance and dazzling showmanship, Tedeschi spends most of his year touring across Australia and internationally. In Australia, Simon Tedeschi’s name is synonymous with the music of George Gershwin. Described by harmonica legend Larry Adler as “the greatest Gershwin exponent I have ever seen”, Tedeschi performed Rhapsody in Blue with Adler on his last-ever tour in Australia and it was Adler who performed it with Gershwin himself. “Gershwin has in many ways been the musical accompaniment to my life,” Tedeschi said. “Like any composer, however, George Gershwin was more than an island - he was a repository of cultural influences and experiences that informed his compositional style. From 19th century Russia to Tin Pan Alley,
Stride piano to Cuba, Gershwin took everything in but invested them all with his unique sound. “I look forward to the audience in Albury joining me on a personal journey through some of Gershwin’s works and classical composers in his world.” The program will include Gershwin favourites such as I Got Rhythm, Summertime, The Man I Love and Rhapsody in Blue, and more from composers from Gershwin’s world, including Rachmaninov, Debussy, Grainger and Fats Waller.

Group tours with a difference
A top resort holiday offer
LOCAL Travel managers Noelle Quinn and Brendon Mahony have just returned from their initial small group trip to Vietnam. Fourteen guests participated on this revisited itinerary that Noelle and Brendon first travelled some 10 years ago. While many things have changed over that period, there are many elements that remain unchanged. The people are still as engaging as ever, the foods are still exciting and the experiences still as memorable. Guests participated in exciting street food tours that engaged everyone. Time was set aside at Ninh Van Bay for serious R & R at a luxury resort. Old favourites such as the Legendary Hotel Metropole in Hanoi were revisited and new properties were stayed at like La Residence in Hue (formerly the French Governor’s residence). Travel distances and journeys between points of interest within the country are still a challenge and for that reason Noelle and Brendon have opted for quite a few air hops. This maximises touring time while still experiencing different modes of transportation internally. Luxurious mini coaches, speed boats, cyclos, local cabs and bikes along with good old- fashioned foot power are all included in their trips. “Local buses and intercity trains have been utilised in the past and because of their safety, hygiene and discomfort they have been discounted as being acceptable,” Noelle and Brendon commented. Highlights of the trip were definitely the experiences where opportunities were made and taken that most tourists don’t get the option to experience. The first early morning walk through Saigon city and revisiting an old acquaintance on the edge of District 1 for pho along with all the locals on their way to work. No English is spoken, but there is great interaction with the locals, the proprietor and his staff. Much research is put into the designing of

AUSTRALIANS have long travelled to Gallipoli to remember Australia’s soldiers and the sacrifices they made there, but more and more people are now travelling to the battlefields of France in search of our history there. After the campaign against Turkey, many of the Australian troops who fought in the campaigns there were sent to France to fight on the Western Front of World War I. Here they made a significant contribution to the defeat of the German forces who had invaded France in 1914. Frommelles was the site of the first major action involving Australian troops on the Western Front during World War I. Today, you can visit ‘Cobbers’ memorial which was built on top of ruined German bunkers, and VC Corner cemetery, the only all-Australian war cemetery in France. The Memorial Museum Passendaele pays homage to the half million people who fell in battle on this site in 1917 and the military cemetery of Tyne Cot is the largest Commonwealth military cemetery in the world. In the Belgian city of Ypres, there is a moving ‘Last Post’ ceremony every evening at Menin Gate. This traditional final salute to the fallen is played by the buglers in honour of the memory of the soldiers of the former British Empire and its allies, who died in the Ypres
Salient during World War I. The Australian War Memorial in France is located just outside Villers-Bretonneux and in front of it lie the graves of over 770 Australian soldiers, as well as those of other British Empire soldiers .The school in VillersBretonneux was rebuilt using donations from school children of Victoria, Australia (many of whom had relatives perish in the town’s liberation) and above every blackboard was the inscription “N’oublions jamais l’Australie“ (Let us never forget Australia). Villers Bretonneux was recaptured by Australian troops after a short German occupation in April 1918. On
the outskirts of the village is Adelaide cemetery which was the original resting place of the Unknown Australian Soldier. (Now entombed in the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.) In October 2016, Rodney Vincent in conjunction with Go See Touring is touring France and the tour will take in the rich history of this region and Australia’s strong connection to the area from not only the First but also the Second World War. If you’d like to know more details then give the friendly team at Go See Touring a call today on 1300 551997 and they’ll send you more details.

Pregnancy loss counselling
Counselling can help the healing process.
THERE is something wonderful about being able to go out and have a tasty meal and a variety of choices at a restaurant with friends and relatives. However it can be a challenge for those who suffer from a serious disease such as coeliac or have an allergy to dairy, wheat, yeast or any other product. Monica’s Cafe and Restaurant behind Service NSW can help. It has a full and extensive a la carte menu and a full separate gluten-free a la carte menu with dairy free choices as well. Monica’s Cafe and Restaurant understands the serious nature of food related diseases and allergies and does what it can to assist patrons to have a great culinary experience. Its a la carte menu is printed on white paper while the gluten free is on blue paper and Monica is now preparing a vegetarian/vegan menu to be given a distinctive green colour which will be printed shortly. Making sure everyone can enjoy a good meal together has become Monica’s passion. She has been a head chef for a long time but after being diagnosed with celiac disease she has begun to fully understand the difficulties relating to dining out. For this reason she had become passionate about creating menus that accommodate almost any diet. She serves gluten free foods including calamari, chips,
Monica’s rustic Ceasar salad also comes in a gluten free option. schnitzels, pastas, focaccias, risottos and much more. Coffee and drinks are not forgotten either with Monica now stocking gluten free and sugar free hot chocolate and dietary milks such as rice milk, almond milk, Zymil, Liddells lactose free and coconut milk. Even her cappuccinos are dust-
ed with gluten free chocolate powder. And because of her attention to detail, Monica’s Cafe and Restaurant has not only a strong clientele but is also attracting people from outside Albury. It also provides catering for offices, homes and in-house functions.

Sometimes disappointment about the circumstances that led to a decision to abort can bring a sense of loss and feelings of ‘if only’ and ‘I wish’. A realisation that pregnancy loss by abortion is often a taboo subject makes it both silent and secret for a mother which can lead to unresolved grief. Counselling can help the healing process. An inability to conceive a hoped for pregnancy causes emotional distress and the Women’s Life Centre offers emotional support during this difficult period. Men, the forgotten fathers of the lost children, also suffer grief and a sense of loss and helplessness when a baby dies. Women’s Life Centre staff offer confidential and free counselling, either by phone or face-toface during office hours. Experienced pregnancy loss counsellors from the centre, also operate a 24 hour free phone service. Call any time on 0260 407 910 or 042 300 4904 or drop in at 327 Urana Road, Lavington.

THE Women’s Life Centre offers confidential and free grief counselling services for women and men who have experienced and suffered from pregnancy loss. When considering pregnancy loss most people assume that means a mother who has had a miscarriage, but pregnancy loss includes grief associated with miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion and infertility for mothers and fathers. Grief is a normal response to the loss of someone we love and had hopes for. Grief can cause extreme thoughts, emotions and sometimes actions. Seeking help through counselling shares the pain of loss and begins the path of healing. Miscarriage is often an unexplained and unexpected pregnancy loss which can lead to unresolved grief that impacts the mother’s life including her dreams for years ahead. This can be a silent pain as often a woman may experience a miscarriage and those around her may not know that she has had one and therefore she is not acknowledged as having been a mother. Still birth is more openly acknowledged today than in the past but still the expectation is that the mother, father and siblings will forget quickly and get on with their lives, which is a very difficult climate to grieve in and find understanding and sympathy. Abortion grief is unexpected and generally unaccepted by the wider community. The first sense of this grief can occur with the hormonal changes post abortion. This grief can be triggered for years to come at the anniversaries of the abortion and/or the baby’s due birth date.

Breaking Christmas shopping addiction WITH Christmas around the corner, now is the time to stop your compulsive shopping and overspending using NLP and hypnotherapy. Most people enjoy shopping and spending money to some degree, but for some people it becomes a compulsion. They are addicted to the “high” they get from shopping and spending money, to the point where they continually spend money they can’t afford to spend. They just can’t pass up the chance to go into a store and buy something, even though their budget is completely blown. In most cases, compulsive shopping and overspending are based in some form of a bad feeling, such as anxiety, anger, boredom, or fear. When you feel down, shopping makes you feel better, so buying things becomes a way to escape other problems and issues. Shopping simply feels good, so you continue to do it to keep those good feelings coming. The problem is that you have to continue increasing the amount of money and time you spend shopping to get the same level of satisfaction. It becomes a habit driven by the way your mind thinks and the behaviours that come from your thoughts and feelings. Shopping changes from being a necessary part of everyday life to a compulsion and addiction that shows up as an unconscious pattern of behaviour. The key to changing the behaviour

Clients see the benefit By ERIN SOMERVILLE
Help cut your compulsive shopping before Christmas. 146539 Picture: PIXABAY is changing the unconscious pattern of thought. You can use NLP and hypnotherapy to eliminate problems with obsessive compulsive shopping and overspending. These techniques work very well because they allow you to re-pattern both your conscious and unconscious mind to break the destructive habit and replace it with more positive and productive behaviours. Treatment for obsessive compulsive shopping and overspending is quite rapid for the vast majority of people. Because NLP and hypnotherapy work so effectively in combination with each other, most clients are cured in as few as two or
three one-hour sessions, and sometimes even less. Often other issues related to anxiety and depression are uncovered during therapy, which NLP and hypnotherapy can also effectively treat. If obsessive shopping and overspending are having a negative effect on your life, help is just around the corner with Riverina Mind Designs, a combination of powerful NLP and advanced hypnotherapy. Contact the professionals today for more information about the clinic closest to you in Albury, Wodonga, Shepparton and Wagga Wagga.
WINNING over both clients and professionals, the amazing results provided by Invisalign are hard to deny. Albury orthodontist John Brabandt has quickly become a global leader with the Invisalign product, which helps align the teeth through a subtle, simple, and hygiene method. Having recently demonstrated the results of Invisalign at the 2015 European Orthodontist Conference in Venice, the Asia Pacific Invisalign Summit in Singapore, and soon to win over crowds of professionals in New Zealand, the success of this technique on the Border is winning global support. So how does this amazing product work? Invisalign acts like braces in helping gently move teeth to their correct position, but brings many more benefits for the client. Invisalign is very subtle, and its sheer
appearance won’t bring the social anxiety that can come from wearing braces. The product is far more comfortable and gentle on the clients’ lips and cheeks, and also encourages better oral hygiene. The process is simple for the client, but involves high-tech design and development to produce very effective results. A painless scanner will take images of the clients’ mouths and produce a detailed model to be sent to the United States within minutes. From there, the talented Dr Brabant will help create the ideal Invisalign product tailored for your teeth to achieve the perfect results. ‘We are worldwide leaders of Invisalign and have the results to prove it,” Dr Brabant said. And when you see the unbelievable results the team at Albury’s Evolve Orthodontics have achieved with their teen and adult clients, you’ll understand why there is simply no better place to achieve that confident smile you have always dreamed of.
ADVERTORIAL
Albury Orthodontist named one of Australia's First Diamond Invisalign Providers. Dr Brabant recognised as one of the most experienced Invisalign Providers in the country. Albury Orthodontist Dr John Brabant has been awarded the Invisalign Diamond Provider status making him one of Australia's most experienced Invisalign providers. Invisalign is the clear alternative to braces that uses a series of clear, virtually invisible and removable aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired position, without the use of metal or wires. It combines 21st century technology and revolutionary manufacturing to customise a treatment for each individual patient. “Technology is changing the way we do things and the way we straighten teeth is no exception,” Dr Brabant said. “Now there's a virtually invisible alternative to braces, like Invisalign that make teeth straightening a more appealing prospect for a whole new market of image conscious professionals. Gone are the days when orthodontics was just reserved for teenagers, now people can feel more confident about the process of improving their smile at all ages.” Dr Brabant has been treating patients with Invisalign for many years at his practice Evolve Orthodontics based in Albury & Wangaratta and prides himself on using the latest orthodontic techniques to continue delivering the high treatment standards and personal service he offers patients and their families. Dr Brabant now lectures internationally on Invisalign to other orthodontists. There are four primary benefits of Invisalign: 1. Invisalign is nearly invisible – you can straighten your teeth without everyone knowing. 2. Invisalign is removable – you can eat and drink what you want during treatment ; you can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. 3. Invisalign is comfortable – there are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation. No metal or wires also means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments. 4. Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start – so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Invisalign is appropriate for treating adults and teens, to arrange a no-obligation consultation to discuss your treatment needs (no matter how severe or minor). Please telephone 02 6021 1288.

Navigating price points IT'S A fine line between offering too little and paying too much. ME Head of Home Loans, Patrick Nolan lifts the lid on successful price negotiations. “Some of us are natural hagglers. For others, the thought of asking for a discount brings on cold shivers,” Nolan said. “But buying your first home calls for smart tactics, and big rewards are up for grabs for those who can master the negotiation process. “On a home costing, say $500,000, knocking just one percent off the list price can mean a saving of $5000. It will also keep a lid on stamp duty, which is levied on the final purchase price.” That’s why it pays to follow these five steps to master price negotiations on your first home: 1. Know the market “Any offer you make needs to be realistic; no vendor will accept a ridiculously low offer, but it’s impossible to know what a fair price is unless you have done your homework,” Nolan adds. “Check out what other properties are selling for in your area to get a feel for current values. 2. Keep your cool “It’s hard to drive a bargain if you’ve been gushing about how much you love the place to the selling agent. Try to give the impression that you aren’t as keen on the property as you really are. If the agent thinks you’re completely hooked, your attempts to negotiate could fall on deaf ears.

OV 15th N
3. Be ready to act “Having conditional loan approval in place can be a game changer when it comes to price negotiations. It lets you know just how much you can really afford to pay, and it adds credibility to any offer you make. “Don’t be afraid to let the selling agent know you have conditional loan approval. It confirms your status as a serious buyer who can finalise the deal without delay. 4. Knock off around 5 per cent “There is no such thing as a typical buying discount. Vendor discounts vary widely in line with the state of the local market, the nature of the property and the vendor’s individual circumstances. “If you think a property’s asking price is fairly realistic, offer 5 per cent to 10 per cent less than the advertised price. If you believe the asking price is way over the top, or you know the property has been languishing on the market for a long time, try to knock off 15 per cent. 5. Don’t let it get personal “The longer price negotiations take, the greater the odds that another buyer will jump in and snatch the property from under you. So don’t let negotiations turn into a battle of wills. A quality property will rise in value over time and the long term capital gains can more than compensate for the difference between a 10 per cent versus 5 per cent price discount.”

Featonby leaves them all behind By PAUL INGWERSEN LOCAL elite triathlete Jess Featonby turned his talent to pure road cycling on Sunday at the Giro Della Bellbridge and left a very classy A grade field well and truly out of sight as he crossed the finished line on Springdale Road above Bethanga. Due to roadworks in Bellbridge, the course was changed at the last minute to cover three laps of the club championship parcours starting in Bethanga, down to Lake Road, around the Bethanga golf course and up Springdale Road.While only 51 kilometres there is 839 metres of climbing making it one of the hardest interclub races. The annual scratch road race is also one of the few in the region with a punchy hill top finish and it again attracted riders from Wagga, Wangaratta, Cobram, Mt Beauty and as far away as Cootamundra and Griffith for the three grades. The A grade field included multiple National Road Series riders plus a host of quality cyclists generally all looking to build fitness for the early December tour of Bright. The race started aggressively with attacks flying left and right around the Lake road. Road Nationals 2015 medallist Neil van der Ploeg seemed particularly keen to form a group off the front and various combinations formed, then were absorbed by the bunch before a new combination found 50m and the cycle repeated. Halfway into the first lap, a move with half a dozen riders looked promising but was by the turn towards the golf course it was all together, the pace easing and, as is often the case, while riders recovered from the intense first 10km, or contemplated the upcoming Springdale climb, Jess Featonby casually rode off the front of the bunch and quickly built up a lead. Over each of the three 17km laps he increased his lead up to two minutes with the bunch either incapable of bringing him back or too many riders hoping to save some beans for the climbs. Whatever their motives, Jess crossed the finished line in 1:20:00, arms in the air, and a good one minute 20 seconds in front of NRS rider Tim Guy while Tully Lister pulled out every bit of experience and did the master’s category riders proud to take third place. In B grade Eli Beech, who is new to racing, also showed plenty of class and rode away after the second lap climb and the bunch failed to respond quickly enough.
The A grade bunch chases Jess Featonby up Springdale Climb. He crossed the finish line in a time of 1:31:10 leaving plenty of time between him and the second place Brad Rose with the podium completed by Marcus Warner and Wagga’s Sophie Mackay the first woman. The C grade proved the tightest finish with Wagga rider Dan Addison outsprinting Albury’s Brian Harris in a time of 1:39:00 with Mitch Harrison in third and Maddy Wright the first woman. It was a hard day out over what is an epic course and should leave riders in good form for the upcoming club championships and Tour of Bright.
