Special gold rush By Monique Kuzeff

Ovens and Murray Special Olympics athletes Kenny, Katrina, Stephanie and Matthew proudly wear their gold and silver medals. 163454 Picture: CONTRIBUTED “It’s another outlet for them to be part of society and be accepted. “A lot of the athletes were amazing and I think swam better than a lot of people without disability. “They always want to please, do training and participate and they want to engage and be accepted.” Ms Jones thanked Ovens and Murray Special Olympics coach Steve Rodgers for training the athletes, which saw them being selected to compete in New Zealand. “It’s the wonderful support that they get from the Oven and Murray committee, their parents and families and everything like that that makes it happen. “Without them it would make it very difficult for these people to participate in such a good quality sporting event.” Katrina won two gold medals in 50m backstroke and 50m relay and a silver in freestyle; Kenny won gold in 25m breaststroke and a silver in 50m breaststroke; and Matthew won two gold in 50m backstroke and 100m freestyle.

FOUR deserving Border athletes recently returned from a trip to New Zealand with a number of gold medals in their possession. Oven and Murray Special Olympians Stephanie Duff, Matthew Manek, Katrina Thorpe and Kenny Fung were four of 16 athletes in Victoria with disabilities who were selected to compete in the annual Trans Tasman Tournament in Hamilton, New Zealand, last month. Some 160 Australian athletes competed at the event that provides people with intellectual disability the opportunity to participate in an international competition and celebrate their achievements and sportsmanship. Stephanie’s mum Lisa Jones, who came along to the event, said it was both a beneficial and wonderful experience for the athletes to participate in an international Special Olympics tournament. “These four represented this side of Victoria and they were really excited as it’s a wonderful experience for them all and they have achieved so much through it,” Ms Jones said. “To see them all have improved over the last couple of years has just been amazing. “My Stephanie came out of the three events she participated in with gold medals - I was extremely proud of her.” Stephanie participated in the 50m freestyle, 50m backstroke and 25m breaststroke taking out gold in all three events. Ms Jones said the Special Olympics enabled the athletes to develop their confidence and social skills in an active environment. “It gives them so much confidence and it’s a social outlet for them as well,” she said.

Time of gifts By Monique Kuzeff

Appeal volunteers Glenise O'Halloran, Sue Smith, Chris Thomas and Venie Gibson.163298 Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF I know it’s a statistic that has been bandied around a bit but it goes to show that at Christmas time it’s not easy on families.” Ms Jansen said volunteers had been working tirelessly preparing for the distribution of gifts to a diverse number of families, agencies and nonprofit organisations. “As you can imagine, the distribution day is a massive undertaking and we all have our individual roles,” she said. “We have diverse families coming in including those separated with children, we have the elderly, and agencies that come in who identify children in need to distribute gifts to. “Most are from families

who are either unable to afford or give their children gifts on Christmas day.” Presents catered for ages zero to 18-year-olds, but Ms Jansen said this year there was also a table for adults which encompassed gifts such as candles, make-up, and clothes. “There are a number of people, agencies and organisations who have been so wonderful and we wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without them,” Ms Jansen said. For families who were unable to attend the distribution day, gifts will also be dispersed on Monday (19th), Tuesday (20th) and Wednesday (21st) at UnitingCare in Wodonga.

ENVY OF BALI GIFTWARE & GARDEN ORNAMENTS

Thunder and Stars in big bash By Monique Kuzeff CRICKET has certainly made its mark on the Border this week, with Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars women and men cricketers battling it out at the Border Bash practice matches on Tuesday. But that wasn’t the only exciting thing for Border cricket enthusiasts this week. Brand new state-of-the-art cricket nets were unveiled by Albury MP Greg Aplin, AlburyCity mayor Kevin Mack, Cricket New South Wales CEO Andrew Jones, and New City Cricket Club president Anthony Baker at the Urana Road Oval in Albury on Monday, ahead of the practice matches.

The four-lane practice facility comes after the upgrade of the New City Cricket Club’s clubhouse last year. Funding for the new cricket nets was garnered through the collaborative effort between the club, local and state governments, as well as a grant from Cricket NSW. Mr Jones was “delighted” and “impressed” with the quality of the new training facility that will support local cricket enthusiasts on the Border. “The New City Cricket Club successfully applied to the National Community Facility Funding Scheme, and I’d like to congratulate them for their initiative and hard work to upgrade their facilities,” Mr Jones said.

“It’s wonderful to see girls and boys and their parents here at Urana Road Oval meeting the Sydney Thunder players. “I have no doubt the new nets will be well used this summer and for many summers into the future. Mr Aplin said the momentum stirred up by the women’s and men’s Big Bash League has flowed through to the development of the practice facility. “Major sporting events and tourism go hand in hand, and the development of this resource is a reminder of what can be achieved when we nurture the lines of communication running form our border community to Sydney,” Mr Aplin said.

We wish all our clients, customers, and contractors a relaxing, safe, and enjoyable break.

THIS year over 1500 kids are registered to receive gifts from the Target UnitingCare Christmas Appeal on the Border. About 50 volunteers from UnitingCare Wodonga and Emmanuel Anglican and Uniting Church spent their Thursday morning catering to a number of people doing it tough this Christmas to help them choose and collect gifts such as toys, vouchers, and cinema tickets, for their children. The initiative has been running through UnitingCare organisations in conjunction with Target nationwide for 25 years. When a voucher is purchased at Target, every dollar is given to the nearest UnitingCare’s Christmas appeal. This year UnitingCare Wodonga received about 1200 donated gifts plus some money to distribute to those in need of some Christmas cheer this year. Target UnitingCare Christmas Appeal agency manager Naomi Jansen said an increased number of people sought gifts from the Wodonga appeal this year. “We are finding this year is one of our largest years that we’ve been called upon to give gifts and at the moment we are still struggling to meet the need,” Ms Jansen said. “We do have a shortage this year with presents but with the money that’s been donated we’ve gone out and bought some more gifts so we can restock as we go along. “Families are separated and

Border crime is dropping THE LATEST data from the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) shows that crime on the Border has decreased over the last year. While steal from a motor vehicle and steal from a dwelling has increased by 41.2 per cent and 35.5 per cent respectively over the period to September this year in Albury, non-domestic violence assault and malicious damage to property show significant

downward trends of 7.6 per cent and 16.6 per cent. In the 24 months to September this year, there has only been one of the 17 major offence categories that showed a significant upward trend across the state, while eight categories showed downward trends. Albury MP Greg Aplin has commended the Albury Local Area Command and the community for their exceptional work in detecting and pre-

venting these local crimes. “I would like to thank the community for doing their bit by reporting crime, working closely with our local police officers, and remaining vigilant,” Mr Aplin said. “Stealing from a motor vehicle and stealing from dwelling has increased ... which is disappointing. “Residents must ensure they lock their vehicles and don’t leave valu-

ables in or visible in vehicles. Home security is always a must.” On a statewide level, steal from a retail store has trended upwards in to its fifth consecutive year and fraud crimes such as use of credit cards and not paying for fuel at services stations has risen across seven NSW regional areas. ‘The NSW Government is determined to turn these statistics around,

and will ensure police across the state have the resources they need to investigate and prosecute these crimes,” Mr Aplin said. “The upcoming introduction of Regional and Metropolitan Deputy Commissioners as part of the NSW Government’s reforms to NSW Police Force will ensure high-quality, targeted policing to reduce local crime trends.”

Hub services expand, and a transformation too By Monique Kuzeff A $10,000 donation to YES Youth and Family Services will see the complete front of the hub transformed in to much more of a resourceful and useable space for those seeking help. YES Youth and Family Services will be able to build a kitchenette, tech station and children’s play area at the front of the hub at 562 Macaulay Street, Albury, thanks to the generous donation from the Rotary Club of Albury. Rotary Club of Albury raised these much-needed funds through their annual Circus Quirkis event for disadvantaged children where the proceeds were mounted through the cost of ticket sales. YES Youth and Family Services client service manager Jon Park said the service was “grateful” to receive the funding. “Often these sorts of proj-

ects aren’t funded, and we have to draw on a lot of our own resources,” Mr Park said. “Without the support of the community and awesome groups like Rotary, we wouldn’t be able to do it.” The renovation has been on the hub’s agenda for almost two years since the service became the lead agent for all homelessness services in Murrumbidgee area after NSW’s Going Home Staying Home Reform. But in the attempt of making the service more “accessible” and “streamlined”, it brought on an increased demand at the hub where a lot of people were presenting themselves. Mr Park said the transformed hub area would create a resource space for people experiencing accommodation issues. “There will be a kitchenette where those who might be going through a lot of stuff can go and take some time out and

modation issues and need to look for rentals online. “There will also be a kids play area as we also run Betty’s Place women and children’s refuge, and if someone is com-

ing in for an appointment and they have a child, it’s good to have a space for the child to be, so they can concentrate on doing what they came to do.” Mr Park said while financial

support was always appreciated and welcomed by YES Youth and Family Services, donations “sends a message” that the issues dealt with in the service were “community issues”. “I think what I appreciate a lot as well is the fact that it sends a message that homelessness, domestic violence and those sorts of things are community issues. “Groups like Rotary getting on board show there’s a real community ownership over these problems. “It’s not just our problem as a service, or the individual’s problem, it’s the community’s problem and it's nice to have a collective energy around on solving it.” The hub services share a common focus of helping people in the community who are experiencing issues with their current housing arrangements, homelessness or seeking refuge from family violence.

MOVING into 2016 for 12-year-old Conner wasn’t exactly presenting as a Happy New Year, after being diagnosed with a brain tumor just before Christmas. But this year, things are looking up for him with Christmas having come early thanks to Albury Cancer Trust nominating him and his mum Kylie to be the recipients of The Good Guys Albury’s ‘Merry Giftmas’ initiative. The mum and son were gifted with a brand-new laptop and tablet which will help them to stay connected to friends and family while travelling from Albury to Melbourne for treatment. “I’m just so thankful that I have been given this stuff from some really nice people,” Conner said. “I’ll probably use it a lot because I don’t have a phone and it’ll be good for those sevenhour drives I’ve got used to.” Albury Cancer Trust Fundraising, Marketing and Events manager Jane Evans said she nominated Conner and his mum because of how charitable they were, even while dealing with their own adversities. “Before finding out about Conner’s illness, Kylie volunteered hours in our local community and supported our cause, which she continues to

Kylie thanked all those involved in generously nominating and providing Conner and herself with gifts. “It’s amazing and it’s the kindness of strangers that continues to keep our wheels rolling and it’s usually what brings me undone,” she said. “It’s not necessary in any kind of way and it’s just so beautiful.” The Good Guys’ Merry Giftmas initiative will see more than 100 gifts donated to local families and individuals nationwide, with the hope of spreading some Christmas cheer and making a positive impact on those in need this festive season.

Big changes at care facility By Monique Kuzeff

Border residents protest outside Federal Health Minister Sussan Ley's office to condemn the proposed Federal Government funding to the Adani Carmichael Mine. 63343 Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Mine’s rich vein of protest By Monique Kuzeff TO SOME Border residents, the Federal Government’s proposed $1 billion loan to foreign company Adani Group to help establish a single use railway line to its Carmichael Mine in Central Queensland will only just be “funding our bushfires”. On Wednesday last week, some 50 Border residents, including Albury deputy mayor Amanda Cohn and representatives from Wodonga Albury Towards Climate Health (WATCH) and The Albury Greens, gathered outside of Federal Health Minister Sussan Ley’s office on Kiewa Street, Albury, to protest the proposed funding. The coal mine has sparked huge controversy in recent times about its apparent economic benefits, financial viabil-

ity, proposed government funding and the potential damaging environmental impacts. If it were to go ahead, the Carmichael Mine would be the largest coal mine in Australia and one of the largest in the world, producing some 60 million tonnes of coal annually. The protesters called on Ms Ley to relay the message to the Federal Government to withdraw the proposed funding to the project. Protest organiser and Albury Greens member Tracey Esler said the emissions from the coal would accelerate climate change, which would bring on more bushfires in the region and across the country as a result. “We have all watched the toll of bushfires, pollen storms, floods and record heatwaves on our local area,” Ms Esler said.

“We might as well light the fires ourselves and cut out the middle man - we’d at least save $1 billion. “Further afield, the death of part of our Great Barrier Reef, Tasmanian kelp forests and northern mangroves has been shocking. It’s time to act.” Ms Esler was pleased with the turnout on Wednesday evening, saying there was a real “buzz” in the air. “Everyone was positive and hoping that we could get this proposal taken off the table and yes, it was a great turn-out of about 50 people,” she said. Ms Esler said the damage the mine would cause to the Great Barrier Reef would likely see job losses in tourism and would also destroy groundwater resources in the Great Artesian Basin.

PART of Lavington’s Wagga Road will be getting a facelift as construction begins for UPA Murray’s $3 million renovation in January that will see a new and improved community centre fronting the road. This comes as the final stage of a reconfiguration of the aged care precinct, which has been undertaken over the last decade. This stage will see a new and extended community centre to provide more social space for residents and a new corporate office area for UPA Murray staff and is expected to be completed by the end of July 2018. As a not-for-profit organisation, UPA Murray’s $3 million in funding has been accumulated over the years through Commonwealth Government subsidies, public donations, and buying and selling of residential homes in the village. UPA Murray regional director Tony Dunn said the existing community centre was no longer “fit for purpose” and that the new one will provide a “selfcontained area” for community members with dementia. “Through the redeveloped community centre we are building a fit for purpose space for the village,” Mr Dunn said. “There will also be a new dementia club room as we get a lot of outside social care, aged care and dementia clubs who

Wodonga makes its carols count By Monique Kuzeff WODONGA celebrated its 41st Carols by Candlelight at the weekend as a large-sized crowd, made up of families, friends and loved ones, gathered at Willow Park to join in on the Christmas cheer, joy and tunes. The evening was a huge success with local residents relishing the evening along with their chairs, picnic rugs, nibbles and beverages to enjoy what turned out to be a pleasantly warm evening at the outdoor concert. Many candles were sold to those

in the crowd which helped to create a Christmassy ambiance as families and friends sung along to some oldtime Christmas classics including Deck The Halls, Jingle Bell Rock, Silent Night and Little Drummer Boy. The carols were delivered by a combination of bands, choirs, and individual performers and the crowd was also greeted by Prime Possum and Santa throughout the evening. News Weekly photographer Adam Wilson was in and around the crowd capturing the smiles, joy and laughter.

Big hill plans A LONG-TERM plan to upgrade and beautify Monument Hill has been developed and is now available for public comment. The draft Monument Hill Master Plan has been prepared following extensive community consultation and a close working relationship with the local RSL. Mayor Kevin Mack says the draft plan provides a future vision for the area which features the Albury and District War Memorial and is considered one of Albury’s most popular attractions for both locals and visitors to the city.

The draft plan includes upgraded viewing points overlooking the city, improved landscape elements such as retaining walls, pathways, picnic tables and bollards and improved infrastructure for Anzac Day events. Public safety has also been considered with the separation of vehicles and pedestrians, upgrade of lighting (War Memorial and surrounds) as well as an upgrade of the CCTV camera.“ “Telling the story of the War Memorial and other battles is also an important element of the plan and an

interpretive strategy will be developed to improve signage and the way that the information is presented,” Cr Mack said. “The community now has another opportunity through the public exhibition process to provide feedback on the draft plan before final adoption by council." The draft plan will be on public exhibition until 31 January 2017. Copies are available at the LibraryMuseum, Lavington Library, council offices and on the AlburyCity website. Advertising Feature

COUNTRY PUBS

Advertising Feature

Best-known as the ‘local’ By Monique Kuzeff THERE’S something charming about a small country town pub. Everyone knows the “local” is the best place to go for a beer, a yarn and to meet the locals and learn about the charms of the community in a small country town. And in the small historic town of Yackandandah, it is the family-owned and operated Yackandandah Hotel, or the “Bottom Pub” as the locals call it, that is the place to go. Setting foot in this pub, which is positioned at the bottom end of High Street, brings you back to the days of being able to simply grab a good feed, sink a few cold ones and get to know the locals. “The Yack Hotel offers a great atmosphere that’s what folk from the cities say,” Yackandandah Hotel owner Sandra Thorpe said. “You sit around the bar and meet the local people, as we introduce visitors to the locals and make them feel comfortable and at home.” Ms Thorpe describes her pub as an “old English Tudor style building” that is warm, friendly and welcoming. Set among a strip of boutique stores with a backdrop of country, the Yackandandah Hotel also offers visitors and locals a quirky venue to dine in, play pool and even activate the jukebox providing modern and old time classics. A sunny beer garden is regularly filled with live entertainment - just ask the friendly staff for upcoming shenanigans.A And if you think that’s all it offers, think again. Accommodation is also available, with a great selection of rooms to choose from. So if you happen to be passing through Yackandandah, why not drop in to the Bottom Pub where the friendly staff will provide outstanding service while making you feel right at home.

Above: There is often live entertainment in the beer garden and saloon bar. Left: Stop by Yackandandah Hotel and sink a cold one with the locals.

There’s just nowhere better

Many patrons stop by time and time again, simply looking to escape into the mountain tranquility, cast a line, drive to see nearby snowfalls, explore nearby villages, enjoy local birdlife, or use the boat ramp for a paddle on the river. Whatever you’re after in the midst of summer, it’s all here at the Bridge Hotel. “It is a beautiful place to be,” proud owner Ian Clarke said.

“We offer everything, and it really is an iconic country pub.” Established in 1925, carved over the years by local character and quirks (don’t forget to ask the friendly staff about the money on the ceiling), and proudly taking the title of the pub that sits closest to the great Murray River, you will be hard-pressed finding a more authentic high country experience. Whatever guests decide to do with their days, most will agree that the Bridge Hotel is the ideal place on the Murray to be replenished. The hotel’s a la carte lunch and dinner bistro offers delicious, varied, and hearty meals that will sate the appetite of the hungriest and fussiest of guests.

Awareness Month

Advertising Feature

Put a smile on the dial of kids MORE than 40 per cent of children aged five to 10 years old have decay in their primary teeth and 25 per cent of these children have never received dental treatment. Children of lower socio-economic backgrounds and indigenous children have significantly higher rates of dental decay. Oral disease is one of the four most expensive preventable chronic diseases. Carevan founder Dr John Brabant and Carevan Sunsmiles Program manager Cathy Carboon met with NSW Government Oral Health Promotion and Prevention members last week to discuss the introduction of the Carevan Sunsmiles program statewide. There is a global increase in dental disease and this could lead to a public health crisis. Dr Brabant believes that the Carevan Sunsmiles Program, which began on the Border, can go a long way to turning things around. The program has a focus on dental education, oral health promotion and fluoride varnish application. The program was established several years ago at Wodonga West Primary School, followed by Glenroy Public School and Homebush West Primary School in Sydney. Through the use of dental puppets the students are taught how to brush their teeth, informed about nutrition, and a fluoride varnish is applied to their teeth which cuts the decay rate by 43 per cent. “We have the ability to change children’s lives through simple prevention,” Dr Brabant said.

Federal Member for Reid Craig Laundy MP launched the Sun Smiles Project at Homebush West Public School.

2 0 1 7 New Years Resolutions

Power within By Monique Kuzeff THE New Year is just around the corner and although you might have a resolution in mind, don’t let your subconscious fool you. Change can be challenging because breaking old habits means you are breaking out of your familiar patterns and entering new territory. A 2007 study showed that nearly 90 per cent of the participants failed to achieve their New Year’s resolutions. “Quit smoking� and “lose weight� are commonly searched in January but “cookies� is often Googled in December. This already indicates that bad habits die hard when it comes to New Year’s resolutions. If you have a goal in mind that you want to achieve, Riverina Mind Design can help you transform your mindset on a deeper level, so it becomes a long-term commitment well into the new year. If you truly want to achieve your resolutions, make sure it’s a conscious effort. It will require a bit more commitment and motivation, but the result will be completely worth it. Riverina Mind Design offers clients a range of techniques that aid them in achieving their set outcomes. The key to keeping you on a direct path to your goal is changing the unconscious mindset around old beliefs and patterns. NLP and clinical hypnother-

They work by restructuring both the conscious and unconscious mind and disengage the patterns that were causing those bad habits. Instead, those bad habits are changed into positive and productive behaviours and you become the driver of your thoughts, behaviour and future.

Some clients achieve their results in little time, as quickly as two or three one-hour sessions. “My experience over the years as a clinical hypnothera-

pist has taught me that it is only when we find a goal that for us is really worth attaining, then that long-term success can be achieved,� Mr Moffat said.

Along with NLP and clinical hypnotherapy, Riverina Mind Design offers programs to help you create a plan that is simple to stick with.

Coffee’s health benefits ACCORDING to consumer reports, coffee can prolong life, perk people up and even decrease the risk of type two diabetes. It may help people live longer. True, coffee drinkers are more likely than non-drinkers to smoke, eat red meat, skimp on exercise and have other lifeshortening habits, according to a 2012 study in the New England Journal of Medicine. But when researchers took those factors into account, they found that people aged 50 to 71 who drank at least one cup of coffee per day lowered their risk of dying from diabetes, heart disease, or other health problems when followed for more than a decade. That may be due to beneficial compounds such as antioxidants, which might ward off disease, and not the caffeine. Decaf drinkers had the same results. It may perk people up. Coffee is not just a pick-meup, it has also been linked to a lower risk of depression. In a study led by the Harvard School of Public Health that tracked 50,000 women for 10 years, those who drank four or more cups of caffeinated coffee per day were 20 per cent less likely to develop depression

than non-drinkers. Another study found that adults who drank two to four cups of caffeinated coffee were about half as likely to attempt suicide as decaf drinkers or abstainers. The researchers speculated that long-term coffee drinking may boost the production of “feelgood� hormones such as dopamine. It contains many beneficial chemicals. For most people who drink coffee, it provides more antioxidants than any other food, according to Joe Vinson, Ph.D., a chemistry professor at the University of Scranton. But it’s also a top source of acrylamide, a chemical whose link to cancer is being investigated. It may cut the risk for type two diabetes. A recent Harvard-led study of more than 120,000 men and women found that those who increased the amount of caffeinated coffee they drank per day by more than one eightounce cup, on average, were 11 per cent less likely to develop type two diabetes than those whose coffee habits stayed the same. And those who decreased their daily intake by at least a cup per day, on average, were

17 per cent more likely to develop the disease. But nix the doughnut with the morning cup. Excess sugar may cancel out any benefit from a balanced blood sugar level. But watch how much sugar and cream is added to avoid a calorie and fat packed beverage. Most people don’t have to worry about the caffeine. Data suggests that most healthy adults can safely consume, daily, up to 400 milligrams of caffeine – the amount in about two to four cups of brewed coffee, although exact amounts vary a lot. Pregnant women should keep it to less than 200 milligrams and kids no more than 45 to 85 milligrams. More than that can cause side-effects including insomnia, irritability, and restlessness. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, heart, and muscles. So, those with an anxiety disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, or heart disease, or who take certain medications, should watch their consumption or opt for decaf. And those who have an acid reflux may want to skip coffee altogether, because the acidity could exacerbate it.

Modern helmets are strong, lightweight, and comfortable. and adds only a few hundred dollars to the price of more basic bikes. Owners may be able to offset some of the cost with an insurance discount. Either way, it’s a worthwhile investment in safety. 3. Use your head. Yes, helmets are an emotional topic for some riders. But the facts show the risk. Modern helmets are strong, lightweight

and comfortable and they cut down on wind noise and fatigue. Riders should keep in mind that helmets deteriorate over time and may not be safe even if they look fine. 4. Wear the right gear. Jeans, a T-shirt, and sandals are recipes for a painful disaster on a bike. Instead, riders should wear gear that will protect them from wind chill, flying bugs

Specially designed jackets with rugged padding and breathable mesh material provide protection as well as ventilation for riding in warm weather. Riders

should also wear effective eye protection and should not rely on eyeglasses or a bike’s windscreen. Use a helmet visor or goggles. Also, they should keep in mind that car drivers who have collided with a motorcycle rider often say they just didn’t see them, so riders should choose brightly coloured gear.

End of a winding road AS 2016 winds to the end of what has been an exciting year in motorcycling both locally and abroad, I thought I would update you on some of the local motorcycle scene. The Albury Wodonga Motorcycle Club finished the year on a high, running the Under 16 125cc and 250cc and Under 21 500cc Victorian solo championships on the speedway track on the Lincoln causeway last Saturday night. A truly exciting event and full

credit to the local club, bringing racing and riding of such a high calibre to Albury Wodonga. They have also finished what was a rain and flood interrupted year with a number of motocross and dirt track events to decide the club championships. 2017 will see the return to the Lincoln causeway of the Sky Lift hire and rental short track summer series, with the first round kicking off on 25 February. Previous years have seen action-packed handlebar to handle-

bar racing under lights and I’m sure next year’s series will be just as exciting, so mark the date on your calendar as a great event not to be missed for all the family. For those of you looking to ride dirtbikes over the summer the club will be commencing practice nights for both motocross and dirt track starting from 11 January. For more information on the practice night and all other events at the Lincoln causeway, check out the club’s Facebook page.

WHITEHOUSE MOTORCYCLES 531 Young Street, Albury Ph: 02 6021 7588 www.whitehousemotorcycles.com.au 1213969-KK4-16

MOTORCYCLES are fun and fuel efficient. That’s not news to anyone who’s ridden one. But neither is the fact that they’re also way more dangerous than a car. Here are some tips to help stay safe on two wheels. 1. Riders shouldn’t buy more bike than they can handle. Riders who have been off motorcycles for a while may be surprised by the performance of today’s bikes. Even models with small-displacement engines are notably faster and more powerful than they were 10 or 20 years ago. When shopping for a bike, start with one that fits. When seated, riders should easily be able to rest both feet flat on the ground without having to be on tiptoes. Handlebars and controls should be within easy reach. Choose a model that’s easy to get on and off the centre stand – if it feels too heavy, it probably is. A smaller model with a 250 to 300cc engine can make a great starter or commuter bike. Those who plan on doing a lot of highway riding may want one with an engine in the 500 to 750cc range so they can easily keep up with traffic. 2. Invest in anti-lock brakes. The reason is simple. Locking up the brakes in a panic stop robs the rider of any steering control. That can easily lead to a skid and crash which can result in serious injury. ABS helps retain steering control during an emergency stop and it can be especially valuable in slippery conditions. This critical feature is now standard on many high-end models

There are all those extra shopping excursions, visits to relatives and trips to the beach or Lake Hume to cool down. This extra time off also allows us the chance to indulge in an Aussie tradition: the epic summer road trip. Whether you’re heading up the coast, down the coast or inland to the bush, a long car journey requires a little more preparation. The last thing you need when you’re halfway to

the Grampians is to have your car break down because you neglected to give it a thorough check beforehand. There is a lot that can go wrong with a car through simple wear and tear that only a qualified mechanic can detect. Visit your mechanic at least 3 weeks before your planned Christmas trip so the car can be checked over completely. If you wait until the last minute, there may not be enough time before you leave to get any major problems fixed. And remember – a lot of mechanics like to take time off at Christmas too.

Roadside emergency kit checklist h li IF you do get into trouble on the road, having a car emergency kit handy can add to your level of comfort and peace of mind while waiting for help to arrive. Here are some of the more useful items to include: A sun shade for your windscreen – these are dirt cheap and protect your car’s interior from the relentless Aussie sunshine Your car user manual Y Torch or headlamp, with spare batteries Mobile phone (with contact number for emergency road side assistance) and charger

Detailed maps of the area you’re planning to drive through First aid kit An empty container specifically designed for storing petrol Gloves (handy for dirty work and handling batteries) A set of jumper cables – and the knowledge to correctly use them Distilled water for your battery wells (if it’s that type of battery) Water for drinking (it’s summer, remember) and spare

water for topping up your radiator and keeping your pets fully hydrated Inexpensive plastic poncho for tyre changes and bonnet checks in the pouring rain Road flares, reflective triangles or safety lights to warn other motorists of an accident ahead

getting dirty and a couple of spare rags or microfiber towels

A basic tool kit - Wrenches, screwdrivers, spare bulbs, etc. And don’t forget the WD-40 and duct tape! A tyre gauge so you can check inflation pressure A blanket you don’t mind

Straight advice, specialists you understand and...no

A few small snacks (the kind that don’t melt or deteriorate too much in the heat): energy bars, nuts and dried fruit are durable choices Pencil and paper, so you can exchange details with other drivers if you’re in an accident Seat belt cutter and window breaker (store in your glove box, not the boot).

Mentals still going strong

The current incarnation of Mental as Anything. Wilson of the Beach Boys referencing his famous living room sandpit where Brian wrote his songs and faced his personal demons. Plaza’s demons? Phantom footprints? unseen goats drinking all his cans of beer? Shades of the Nips perhaps.

Produced by Martin and Steve James who produced Mentals take on RocknRoll Music for Young Einstein. This track is just the taster - in the can and just around the corner is a five track EP featuring the Mentals current line-up of Martin Cilia from the Atlantics on guitar, Jacob Cook on drums and from Mondo Rock, Casey Chambers and Jimmy Barnes - James Gillard on bass and bvs. Five new songs written by two old songwriters - Greedy and Martin - songs that show the range and depth of two lifetimes in pop songwriting. Goat Tracks In My Sandpit - looks set to join the Mental’s long list catchy tunes from Nips Are Getting Bigger, If You Leave Me and Too Many Times to Mr Natural, You’re So Strong and Mr Natural. Who: Mental As Anything Where: The Studio - SS&A Club When: 13 January 2017 Cost: Free entry Details: from venue 02 6041 2222

12334931-CG50-16

NEARLY 40 years of recording and non-stop touring, 25 top 40 hits in Australia and sustained international airplay, and Mentals are still at it. Mental As Anything are both touring and recording and heading to Albury on 13 January to play a couple of newbies and all those old favourites (well probably not ALL - they’re only there for the night. The Mentals have a few songs in their back catalogue now. And one of the reasons for that is that Martin Plaza and Greedy Smith are always writing songs. They can’t stop and let’s face it - the music fans and more specifically their fans don’t want them to. So here comes a loony chunkabilly track from Plaza, slide guitar harmonica and laconic vocals take us to his bedlam. Goat Tracks In My Sandpit is the first single from a fivetrack EP to appear after Christmas. Recorded in Martin Plaza’s own studio in Sydney, Plaza obliquely pays tribute to Brian

Local Sport Last rounds in the pool By Tania Phillips THE Ovens and Murray Water Polo competitions played their last rounds of 2016 over the weekend. In the hotly-contested A Grade Women’s competition, Sharks and Albury Tigers played at Albury Swim Centre while the Stingrays and Pool Pirates played at Wodonga. Photographer Adam Wilson was on hand to get all the action from the Albury game - no results available. The competition will return on 8 January.

Wodonga smashes it out By Tania Phillips WODONGA has defeated Tallangatta on first innings in the first two day game of the Cricket Albury Wodonga match of the season at Les Cheesley. Chasing Wodonga’s first innings of 9/171, Tallangatta were all out for 106 with Matt Armstrong taking 5/53 off 25.1 overs including five maidens, Jack Gray finished with the figures of 3/20. At stumps Wodonga were 8/76 in their second innings with no time for Tallangatta to bat again. At Billson Oval East Albury picked up the first innings points, successfully defending their first day total of 95. Albury tumbled to be all out for 75 missing first innings points by 20 runs with Kris Mi-

losta finishing with 4/20 and Cameron White 3/23. At stumps East Albury had been 6-110 in their second innings. Belvoir were the big winners of the round thanks to the bowling of Matthew Jaensch. They picked up first innings and outright points against Belvoir at Kelly Park. Batting first New City had last week managed just 64 with Jaensch finishing with 7/32. In reply Belvoir put themselves in a strong position making 6/178 before declaring. Jaensch was again the destroyer with an impressive 5/53 to put New City back in the pavilion for just 127 - a lead of just 13 runs. Belvoir passed the total for the loss of one wicket in 5.2 overs. Lavington took the points at Wilson Oval thanks to their first

week total of 194. However they didn’t have it all their own way with St Patricks coming close to a rare win this season making 176 in their first innings, just 18 runs short of garnering the points. North Albury also celebrated an outright victory over Wodonga Raiders at Birallee Park. Norths had made 8/223 declared in reply to Wodonga Raiders first innings of 105 giving them the first innings victory and putting them in the boxed seat for the outright - with Greg Daniel top scoring with 47 in what was a team effort. In reply Raiders were routed by the Norths bowling attack in the second innings dismissing them for 77, still well short of making their opponents bat again. Chris Barrott took 4-23 and Greg Daniel 3-10.
