SCHOOL HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT DAILY THREE SHOWS

By PETER SWEENEYCHUM Ried laughed when he heard Barney Cain say he was 75 and had been knocking around Al-bury footy club for 60 years.

“Barney’s just a boy. I’m 85 and this has been my home for 65 years, maybe more,” Chum said.

Chum and Barney are the A-team at Tigerland. And on Sunday, the close mates, daily visitors to the ground, are tipping an A-class performance from the Tigers

against Yarrawonga.“It will have a lot to do with inju-

ries,” Barney says of Albury’s goal of a fourth straight flag in the Ov-ens and Murray League.

“Don’t worry, we’ll be right,” Chum said.

Clasping the hat-trick of cups the Tigers have won against the Pi-geons, the pair walked the ground they lovingly look after – and had a stopover in the grandstand.

“This place is good enough for

The Queen,” Barney said.“Sure is, she sat in this spot in

‘54,” Chum replied.The pair – who have done “this,

that and everything” at Tigerland – call themselves “rouseabouts.”

“We’ll do anything,” Barney said. “And I don’t think the ground would look as good as it does if we weren’t here,” Chum chipped in.

“We spend a bit of time here, so much so we’re often told to bring our beds down.”

Sleeping is far from the minds of this active duo, life members of the Albury Football Club.

“We’ve got to keep working, we still pay to get into the footy,” Chum said.

Oh, and for those who have for-gotten, or who have no idea, Chum has Keith as a christian name and Barney is Brian.

“Nobody would know that,” Bar-ney said. “We hardly remember our names.”

Old boys on board

DON’T let his boyish face fool you, Eric Kerr is ready to step up into a man’s world. And come late next month, and the recently out-of-school Eric may be making decisions that affect every ratepayer in the city of Wodonga. He mightn’t come from a local government background, but young Kerr is standing for election to the local council. TREVOR JACKSON spends time with this man on a mission. See page 4.

Time for change

TWO teenagers who had abor-tions in Albury have revealed their heart-rending stories of regret and remorse on a just launched nation-al website.

They wrote candidly of the mental anguish they had suffered since having their pregnancies terminated. Their feelings follow recent verbal attacks on a pro-life group by an obstetrician, coun-sellor and Anglican priest in this newspaper in recent weeks.

PETER SWEENEY watched a “protest” by the pro-life group – and spoke to women about their beliefs. Stories, page 3.

‘DECRIMINALISE illicit drug use’ called a former senior police detective when we launched our ‘Say No To Drugs’ campaign a fortnight ago.

And what have medical au-thorities, police hierarchy and community groups been saying since? Exactly what NewsWeekly told you on the front page of the 7 September edition.

The policeman claimed the es-calating crime rate would lessen if illicit drug use was decriminalised.

His call hasn’t fallen on death ears. Turn to page 6 for more on ‘Say No To Drugs’.

Get in early and get it out

MELANOMA is often referred to as “Aus-

tralia’s national cancer” - with the world’s

highest incidence of it reported from our

shores.More than 11,000 new cases are diag-

nosed in Australia every year.

And while melanoma makes up only 2.3

per cent of all skin cancers, it is responsible

for 75 per cent of all skin cancer deaths.

But it’s not just the sun that can cause

harm – family history can play a major role

in someone developing skin cancer.

Here on the Border those concerned

about changes in their skin can have a full

body check at Gardens Skin Cancer Clin-

ic.The clinic started a year ago and, ac-

cording to owner Paul Evans, it has been

well received.

“We can provide expert, comprehensive

skin checks by doctors who have the exper-

tise to know what they’re looking at,” Dr

Evans said.

“With our equipment we get very large

magnification on all skin spots. It allows us

to make early diagnoses, and we also have

the option of photographing legions to see

if they’re changing over time.”

Dr Evans began practising skin cancer

medicine in Queensland.

After moving to the Border, he saw a

need for a clinic focusing on early detec-

tion of melanoma and non-melanoma skin

cancers.

“I believe Corowa is the area with the

highest incidence of melanoma in New

South Wales, and we’re not far from there,”

he said.“With the lake, the river and lots of out-

door activity, we have very significant skin

cancer rates. In the last year, I’ve probably

done around 800 skin cancer excisions.”

Dr Evans said one of the higher repre-

sented groups in his practice are the Baby

Boomers.

He said back when they were young,

people knew little about the risks of skin

cancer through sun exposure and often sun-

bathed, soaked in coconut oil and the like.

But he says early detection is the best

medicine, with a high success rate for cure

if skin cancer is diagnosed early enough.

“Generally, if something is changing,

you should get it checked,” he said.

“If it’s asymmetrical or if it has irregular

borders or different colours through it, then

it could be suspicious.

“But there’s no telling at home whether

it’s an age spot or a melanoma.

But even protecting yourself while out

in the elements is no guarantee against skin

cancer, with melanomas found between the

toes, in the mouth or nose, or other areas

not always associated with high sun expo-

sure.The advice from Dr Evans is simple …

don’t be worried about having a check-up

if you are concerned about a mole or skin

spot.“Some people are worried we might

find something, but if you find melanomas

and other skin cancers early, you’re a lot

better off.

“Like all cancers, find it early, get it out,

and usually your risk is much reduced after

that.” The Gardens Skin Cancer Clinic is now

taking bookings for skin checks with Dr.

Paul Evans, Dr. Keith Abraham and Dr.

Marcus Wilcox.

BEECHWORTH’S historic rotunda is to be returned to its former glory.

Built in 1876, the rotunda is believed to be the old-est of its type in Victoria, possibly Australia.

“Beechworth is a town based on its history and something of this significance needs to be maintained,” Alan Clark, general manager of instructure services for Indigo Council, said.

The conservation works will include repair and re-placement of lead flashing to the roof, minor repairs to the roof framing and repainting of the galvanised roof to replicate the original galvanised finish.

Council has budgeted $10,000 for the repairs, which should be completed next month.

Oldie to get a ‘new’ life

Editorial

First-aid revolutionFINALLY, there’s some common sense in the school system. Kids are going to be educated on something kids should know – how to save a life.

We all should know how to do such – but kids are quicker at learning, so let’s start it with them. (Though it wouldn’t hurt if it was compulsory for people to have a first-aid certificate before they got a driver’s licence.)

So many things we are taught, or they try to teach us, in school are as useless in later life as you know what.

Not so first-aid. So news St. John Am-bulance is heading into the classrooms of Victorian schools to teach kids first-aid skills, is more welcome than Santa Claus coming down the chimney on 25 Decem-ber.

Accidents, or incidents, can happen at anytime, anywhere – to anyone. Sadly, we think “it will never happen to me.”

Just as sadly, statistics show eight or nine out of 10 people have “no idea” what to do in the event of a life and death case. And even the one or two who do have some clue, mightn’t be the ‘full bottle’ working in an emergency, when the pres-sure’s on and a second or two can mean the difference between life and death.

Tragically, countless people lose their lives because the first person on the scene of an accident has no idea what to do. Knowing how to clear the airway or to stop bleeding or to do CPR (cardio pul-monary resuscitation) can save a life.

People have life-threatening accidents in their homes, backyards, workplaces, churches, playing or watching sport, at concerts and shows, at schools and uni-versities.

Knowing first-aid isn’t kids’ stuff. In other ways, it is – something recognised by the folk at St John Ambulance.

By TREVOR JACKSONYOU may have seen them rattling tins at traffic lights, running a sausage sizzle at a local shopping centre or checking blood pressure somewhere - all in the name of charity.

The ‘they’ are three Wodonga ambulance officers who are teaming with other Victorian ambos in a statewide push to raise money for the Peter MacCal-lum Cancer Clinic in Melbourne.

Alicia Turnbull, Laurie Smith and Laura Mow-bray will be donning the lycra in October to cycle 200 kilometres in two days, as part of the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

And the group are asking for your help at a trivia night and memorabilia auction at the Wodonga RSL on Saturday, 6 October. It will be the major fund-raising push for the three.

“We have more than $700 of prizes, with meat vouchers (Beazley’s Meats), bicycle parts (Pushy’s Bike Warehouse) and lunch vouchers (Grove and Deli Bean),” Ms Turnbull said.

There will be usual trivia questions with games between rounds and prizes.

Tickets are $10 a head. Bookings can be made by contacting Alicia Turnbull on 0428 349 643.

THE REGIONAL AUSTRALIA COMMITTEE REPORT ON THE MURRAY DARLINGPresented byMr Tony Windsor MP, Federal Member for New England

La�Trobe’s Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering proudly presents our 2012 Dean’s Public Lecture.

Everybody agrees the Murray Darling Basin must be returned to health, but not everybody agrees how to do it. Environmental works and measures could also deliver signifi cant water savings, where such improvements should reduce the burden on farming communities. Mr Tony Windsor believes reform is possible, but it will require a strategic approach.

All are most welcome to attend this free public lecture.

TWO teenagers who had abor-tions in Albury have revealed their heart-rending stories of regret and remorse on a just launched national website.

Melissa, 16, and 19-year-old Elle, who lost twins, wrote of the mental anguish they had suffered since having abortions.

“I sat in a waiting room with oth-er girls, one who looked as young as me. The rest were older, but every-one looked either really, really sad, or really, really scared,” Melissa wrote on iregretmyabortion.com.au

“I don’t know how I looked. I still don’t know how I feel, except that there is a space inside me that feels wrong ... like it shouldn’t be there.

“I never want to go to school anymore. I don’t really care about anything anymore. Nobody said anything about how I would feel. I know I don’t want this anymore.”

Melissa was taken to the clinic by her mother.

“There were a few people out-side looking like they were pray-ing,” she wrote.

“This really scared me, because it made me think about what I was really doing, but the person in the clinic explained that they were re-ally just there to make us feel bad. I wasn’t so sure and I did want to stop and talk to them, but mum and another lady really pushed me along the footpath and told them to go away.

“I remember as I walked in the door, looking back and wishing I

WODONGA woman Debbie Garratt talks daily to women Australia-wide who are suffering post-abortion prob-lems.

The director of the five-year-old Real Choices Australia, Mrs Garratt re-cently launched the iregretmyabortion website and a magazine, titled ‘really a CHOICE?

“We offer the facts that women need to know for a real choice about abor-tion,” Mrs Garratt said of her not-for-profit and non-religious organisation.

A mother at 17 – and now a grand-mother – she says too many abortions happen when women don’t experience genuine supported alternatives.

“Social structures do not support women to continue their pregnancies,

but force them to choose between ca-reers and children, education and chil-dren, partners and family and children are not health issues,” Mrs Garratt said.

And she said though the broader availability of RU486, the medical abor-tion pill, is meant to advantage women in rural areas in accessing abortion, she claims its safety for those removed from emergency medical care is questionable.

“A recent Australian study found one in 18 users of RU486 required admis-sion to hospital for adverse events, com-pared to one in 250 women undergoing surgical abortion,” Mrs Garratt added.

“There are hundreds and hundreds of women out there who have psychosocial problems because of abortion.”

“LEAVE that woman alone,” orders a woman while holding open the door of Albury’s fertility control clinic, as a lady is walking another woman into the home.

They are not in the verbal firing line.

Rather, it’s a woman who says “I’m praying for you” to the lady en route to an abortion. The praying woman, and a man, are standing on the footpath, two posters at their feet.

It’s 10am last Thursday, the day when abortions happen in Albury; the day when pro-lifers meet outside the clinic.

In recent weeks in this newspaper, the pro-lifers have come in for a ham-mering from retired obstetrician Pi-eter Mourik, counsellor Nadia Mellor and Anglican priest Peter MacLeod-Miller.

They want the “protests” to end.They say women going to the

clinic for an abortion are intimidated, traumatised by the appearance of a few folk praying for women to turn

away from aborting their babies.Helpers of God’s Precious In-

fants, the pro-lifers, is an international movement started in America by Monsignor Philip Reilly.

Monsignor Reilly, who was in Al-bury earlier this year, spends much of his time outside abortion clinics in Brooklyn, New York. Just weeks ago, one clinic closed.

Last year Peta Evans, the co-ordinator of HGPI in Albury, visited America to see how peaceful protests worked there.

“That’s what we are about, peace-ful protests,” Mrs Evans said.

“There are three sides to us. Some people just stand and pray, some are ‘sidewalk helpers’ who are willing to talk to the (aborting) women about their alternatives, while others are at home praying for the women.

“If it wasn’t a peaceful protest, we would be in trouble with the police.

“We are there to offer girls and women support – and tell them there are alternatives to abortion.”

Endless sorrow

Talking every dayPAINFUL… Debbie Garratt communicates daily with troubled women.

could run back to them.“I would be having a baby in a

few weeks. When I write that I feel a pain inside me.

“If someone is reading this whose daughter is pregnant, don’t make her have an abortion. She won’t be the same. I’m not … I don’t know if I ever will be.”

Elle – from a strong christian background – always said she would never have an abortion.

“But when faced with these cir-cumstances, I didn’t know where to turn,” she wrote on the website.

“I neglected my family, mainly because they were extremely pushy and I was so ‘in love’ with my boy-friend, I wanted to make him happy.

“I was staying at his parents’ place and let them dictate how I was to go about things. I caved in, said yes to the abortion and in 36 hours, the deed was done.

“I knew I was making a mistake and every single day since I have wished I was stronger. My boy-friend didn’t even stay with me, we didn’t even last three days after the abortion.”

Elle said she got into drugs, par-

tying and became numb for months.Worse, she became suicidal.

“Feeling like I had no hope, I tried to overdose on my medica-tion,” she wrote.

In what she termed “an act ofdesperation,” Elle returned to her church.

“I stopped drugs and partying … but I never sought God’s healing,”she wrote.

“Finally on 7 July this year, my due date, I cracked.

“I begged for God’s forgiveness and that of my parents, brother andsister.

“I finally forgave myself and asked God to make something goodcome of this tragedy. And boy hehas.

“I have such a passion to tell the truth about what it is like on theinside of abortion clinics, from mypoint of view. I believe I am to go into schools with others affected byabortion and share my testimony.

“I want to be given a chance to offer help to other people that I didn’t get.”

ERIC Kerr is only 18 – but next month is standing for election to the Wodonga council.

A recent phone call to Queensland-based federal poli-tician Wyatt Roy – who bucked the old-school system when elected to power so young – gave Mr Kerr the confidence to pursue his dreams.

“He’s a really genuine, good guy who has inspired me,” Mr Kerr said of Mr Roy.

Wodonga-born, Mr Kerr has no previous family history in politics.

He recently graduated from Wodonga Senior Secondary College, where he was involved in student leadership groups, in-cluding Wodonga council.

“I guess my passion stems from a love of politics, giving back to the community,” he told NewsWeekly.

“I like participating in the community, getting out and staying active.

“I have worked with council through the Youth Red Carpet Awards, and I’m on council’s youth leadership program. It’s something I’m very passionate about.”

Mr Kerr considered an in-volvement through convention-al and social media had allowed young people to play a more

SENIORS are invited to join Albury-Wodon-ga Pedal Power in a ride around Wodonga’s scenic bike trails next month.

The ride is among more than 50 events planned for the City of Wodonga Senior Cel-ebrations 2012, and is one of 22 new addi-tions to the program this year.

The ride starts at Les Stone Park, Wodon-ga, at 10am on Wednesday, 10 October and will follow the bike trails along Wodonga Creek, around Sumsion Gardens to Wodon-ga’s new railway station and out to the Ban-diana Link.

The ride finishes where it started at about midday, when a sausage sizzle will be pro-vided by Wodonga council.

The ride will follow an off-road trail with very few road crossings or hills.

Albury-Wodonga Pedal Power, a non-profit club for recreational riders, will host the event with president Tony McLeod-Nibbs urging seniors to take advantage of Wodon-ga’s extensive network of bike trails.

“Dust your bike off, put some oil on the chain, bring a helmet and come and discover the trails that Wodonga council provide,” he said.

As well as being great exercise, Mr McLeod-Nibbs said the ride would also be a great social outing.

“Most people ride and chatter away,” he said.

“It is a social event and will finish up with a sausage sizzle, so everyone will be able to get around and have a chat.”

The ride originally was planned to follow the 25km Murray River loop, returning via the new railway station.

But the closure of the Wodonga stock bridge for repairs in July meant the route had to be revised.

Mr McLeod-Nibbs said a number of members from Albury Wodonga Pedal Power would accompany the ride to help partici-pants - or answer any questions they may have.

Other events planned for the senior cel-ebrations in Wodonga throughout October include concerts by music legend Normie Rowe and Gold Logie Award winners Denise Drysdale and Ernie Sigley, a presentation by Ambassador for Ageing Noeline Brown, Bor-der Bushwalking Club activities and cooking demonstrations.

A full program of events is available at Wodonga.vic.gov.au/events/snrcelebra-tions2012.htm.

PEDAL POWER… Tony McLeod-Nibbs wants seniors to join him on the scenic bike trails next month.

Saddle up seniors

PASSIONATE… Eric Kerr has a passion for the community and standing for council.

Eric eyes council seat

‘hands on’ role in society.And he said it won’t be long

before we see more young poli-ticians.

“I know there’s a councillor in Bendigo who was voted in at 19,” he said.

“There’s another at Monash who’s 22, so it’s slowly getting to the point where the youth are really engaging with their local

governments.“Politics is a real passion of

mine.“Who knows, one day I may

look to state or federal politics, but at the moment, I’m thinking about the here and now.

“If I get elected to council, I’ll reassess my situation after the four-year term.”

ST MATTHEWS Anglican Church in Albury will ring out to more than just bells on Sunday.

The Orpheus Piano Trio, includ-ing local musicians Helena Ker-naghan and Kaori Sparks, will per-form Schubert’s trio in E flat opus 100 (D.929) and Brahms’ 3rd piano Trio in C minor opus 101 as part of their series, The Light and the Dark.

The pair will be joined by Sam Goble, a Castlemaine-based cellist.

Ms Kernaghan and Mr Goble ensure a cohesive platform, having collaborated in trio and duo sonata combinations since 1997, while Ms

Sparks brings a new dimension to the newly-formed team.

Ms Kernaghan said the Schubert concert required poise and delicacy with long, elaborate melodies, while the Brahms, the “dark” of the two works, threw turmoil and heady pas-sion into the mix.

The two works, composed around 60 years apart, complement each other perfectly.

The performance begins at 2pm and runs for around 90 minutes.

Tickets are available at the door for $20 adults and $10 concession, or ring 0409 406 260 for bookings.

TRIO… Kaori Sparks, Helena Kernaghan and Sam Goble are set to entertain with poise, delicacy and heady passion.

Piano power in church

POLICE say a years-old message is still not getting through – and car thieves are hav-ing a ball.

‘Lock it or lose it’ was a popular ditto used to push people into locking their ve-hicles – and making sure their goods were secure.

However, not everybody has heeded the call.

“There’s people who still don’t lock their cars,” Inspector Matthew Tishler of Albury police said.

There has been a spate of car break-ins in Albury recently, with laptops, wallets and GPS navigators being the most com-mon items to ‘walk’.

“Unlocked vehicles are the easy option for opportunistic thieves – especially when they can see what’s inside,” Insp Tishler said.

“They look for soft targets and if they find them, of course they will take them.

“Put your personal items out of sightand lock your car.”

In other police news, there was a drop in the number of break and enters in Alburylast month, but a slight increase in assaults.

Lock it, or lose it

Say NO to drugs

By PETER SWEENEY

ROWAN Membrey suicided.The 17-year-old died on train tracks in south-

eastern Melbourne on St Patrick’s day last year.He was on drugs. That’s something his dad,

Craig, didn’t know until just days before his son died.

Rowan thought his dad would “go berserk” when he found out about his drug use. He didn’t. He counselled his son, he congratulated him for having “the guts” to talk the truth.

But he said they needed to do something about it. Tragically, the chance never came.

Craig Membrey has a truckload of memories of his son. Literally.

Mr Membrey runs a big trucking and crane business in Melbourne. He has more than 100 pieces of equipment under the Membrey Trans-port banner. His father started the business 50 years ago; Craig has run it for the past 25 years.

One of the trucks – a Kenworth which was an ex- road train and was bought just days before Rowan Membrey died – is now a rolling monu-ment to him. It has artwork featuring Rowan and his loves – people and passions.

“If you lose a loved one, you need to remem-ber the good times,” Mr Membrey said.

“The murals on the truck display those. I didn’t want to forget. The truck is to keep those memories fresh.”

But, more importantly, it has a beyondblue logo and number, urging people to call in their time of need.

Craig Membrey knows drugs had a lot to do with his son’s death – and he said it was “far, far too easy” for his boy to get them.

“He (Rowan) could’ve become a dealer virtu-ally overnight,” Mr Membrey said.

ICE is a deadly drug.Typically, ice - one of the latest in a growing

list of designer drugs - is smoked from a glass pipe where it is melted, vaporised and inhaled, to give an almost immediate rush to the brain.

Ice gives a high, immediate “hit”, and any re-maining portion can be cooled, reheated and re-used.Colourless and odourless, it is a very pure drug, making the effects severe and extensive.

“It (ice) can be instantly addictive and affects the psychological and physical functions of the body,” a drug expert said.

“A highly concentrated dose is delivered instantly to the brain through inhalation. Using ice causes lossof weight, paranoia, hallucinations and extreme vio-lence.

“A growing number of emergency room visits in psychiatric hospitals result from the use of crystalice, with patients often demonstrating destructive behaviour.

“Sadly, symptoms may persist for days, even weeks.”

There are numerous reasons why ice is a drug of preference.

It eliminates the need for syringes, a very small amount produces an instant euphoria, it’s colourless, odourless and easy to conceal and its effects are lon-ger lasting - and it is less expensive to produce than other designer drugs.

Ice was first produced by the Koreans about 60 years ago.

Initially, it was used there and in Japan, but in the 1980s it spread to England, America, the Philippinesand other Asian countries.

The first major seizures in Australia were in 1999, when the Melbourne Drug Squad investigated re-ports the drug was freely available from a campus at Hawthorn University. A number of Indonesian stu-dents were arrested and a large quantity of ice was seized.

The students were importing, and dealing, thedrug “living beyond their financial means”.

All about ice

A CHARLES Sturt University expert on the so-called ‘war on drugs’ believes recent calls in Australia to decriminalise some illicit drugs is just good sense.

Dr Oliver Villar believes decriminalisation would be a step forward in dealing with drugs as a health and social problem, rather than a criminal one.

Dr Villar is a lecturer with the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at CSU. He re-cently released a critique on the US involvement in the Colombian drug trade titled, ‘Cocaine, Death Squads, and the War on Terror’.

“It would certainly affect supply and demand as the target market or the drug users will have a better chance to get healthier. It would also make it harder for criminal groups to expand their markets and their profits,” he said on de-criminalising drugs.

“The criminalisation stimulates the supply and demand of illicit drugs, which creates the social and health problems to begin with.”

Dr Villar believes decriminalisation would decrease health and crime problems caused by drugs.

“Countless studies have shown that preven-tion, treatment and education measures are far more cost effective than the American tough law enforcement approach,” he said.

“Since US President Richard Nixon first ini-tiated the ‘War on Drugs’ in 1972, the United States has spent one trillion US dollars combat-ing drugs in ways which have only given crimi-nal organisations enormous business opportuni-ties.”

Dr Villar declares Australia should not fol-low the US model, but instead look to European countries which have shown much better results in terms of health and crime outcomes.

Decriminalisingmakes sense

“He told me of being offered drugs at a nightclub (where he had a fake ID). He said he couldn’t afford it, but was told, ‘no worries, have a free sample.’ He was then told he could have $1000 worth of drugs on credit and told to sell them for $2000.

“He said ‘that’s illegal, isn’t it?’ but was told, ‘no, that’s fine, we do it with everybody’.” It was so easy, but it was so wrong,”

Mr Membrey said his son had been on ice, hanging around with the wrong people.

“Drugs had fried his brain, he couldn’t think and he wasn’t the same person.

“Not long before he died, he went to a doc-

tor, who just wrote out a prescription for anti-depressants. That’s wrong, being on them aged under 18, you should be on 24-hour monitor.

“Rowan and I had an honest talk on the tele-phone. We knew something had to be done. But we didn’t get the chance, he died days later.

“Our drug rules are not strong enough. What happens if you deal in Bali, in Indonesia. You end up in a chair, or shot or whatever. There’s nothing here to scare people.

“The access to drugs and alcohol is too easy for kids. And all they get is a slap on the wrist. The world has changed, but not all for the bet-ter.”

HAPPIER DAYS… Rowan Membrey’s suicide was fuelled by drug use.


Get in early and get it outMELANOMA is often referred to as “Aus-tralia’s national cancer” - with the world’s highest incidence of it reported from our shores.

More than 11,000 new cases are diag-nosed in Australia every year.

And while melanoma makes up only 2.3 per cent of all skin cancers, it is responsible for 75 per cent of all skin cancer deaths.

But it’s not just the sun that can cause harm – family history can play a major role in someone developing skin cancer.

Here on the Border those concerned about changes in their skin can have a full body check at Gardens Skin Cancer Clin-ic.

The clinic started a year ago and, ac-cording to owner Paul Evans, it has been well received.

“We can provide expert, comprehensive skin checks by doctors who have the exper-tise to know what they’re looking at,” Dr Evans said.

“With our equipment we get very large magnification on all skin spots. It allows us to make early diagnoses, and we also have the option of photographing legions to see if they’re changing over time.”

Dr Evans began practising skin cancer medicine in Queensland.

After moving to the Border, he saw a need for a clinic focusing on early detec-tion of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers.

“I believe Corowa is the area with the highest incidence of melanoma in New South Wales, and we’re not far from there,” he said.

“With the lake, the river and lots of out-door activity, we have very significant skin

cancer rates. In the last year, I’ve probably done around 800 skin cancer excisions.”

Dr Evans said one of the higher repre-sented groups in his practice are the Baby Boomers.

He said back when they were young, people knew little about the risks of skin cancer through sun exposure and often sun-bathed, soaked in coconut oil and the like.

But he says early detection is the best medicine, with a high success rate for cure if skin cancer is diagnosed early enough.

“Generally, if something is changing, you should get it checked,” he said.

“If it’s asymmetrical or if it has irregular borders or different colours through it, then it could be suspicious.

“But there’s no telling at home whether it’s an age spot or a melanoma.

But even protecting yourself while out in the elements is no guarantee against skin cancer, with melanomas found between the toes, in the mouth or nose, or other areas not always associated with high sun expo-sure.

The advice from Dr Evans is simple … don’t be worried about having a check-up if you are concerned about a mole or skin spot.

“Some people are worried we might find something, but if you find melanomas and other skin cancers early, you’re a lot better off.

“Like all cancers, find it early, get it out, and usually your risk is much reduced after that.”

The Gardens Skin Cancer Clinic is now taking bookings for skin checks with Dr. Paul Evans, Dr. Keith Abraham and Dr. Marcus Wilcox.

VOLUNTEERS on the Border are saving the lives of dogs and cats.

And they’ve been doing so for around 10 years through Albury Wodonga Animal Rescue.

The organisation rescues pets from pounds and fosters them to volunteers while waiting to find a suitable home.

President Dallas Sargeant said without this work many of the animals in the pound would simply be put down.

And while the stark real-ity sounds harsh, she said the rewards were great for those in-volved.

“It’s just so rewarding,” Mrs Sargeant said.

“We’ve had some great sto-ries. A good example is one little dog we recently had. She was in care for a few weeks and we hadn’t found the right home for her.

“A lady with osteoarthritis rang and we’d been chatting on the phone for a few days. She walks a few times each day and lived in a little unit.

“We took the dog to her and she rang us twice in the first few days … she was absolutely be-sotted. That makes it all worth-while.”

The organisation was origi-nally started by a group of wom-en who began by taking dogs who were going to be put down

out of the pound. They took thedogs home and advertised in thelocal papers to find homes, and itsnowballed from there.

The group now has around 30 foster carers, with many peopleringing to inquire about purchas-ing a rescue pet.

And those interested in help-ing homeless animals can be as-sured they’ll be taking a healthy,well adjusted pet home.

Every pet chosen to be re-homed is subject to a stringentlist of testing, including tempera-ment and health checks.

All pets are desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated - thenthe search begins for a suitablehome.

“Our basic charge for adopt-ing a dog is $340,” Mrs Sargeant said.

“That includes everything, even flea and worm treatments.

“If there are any issues, es-pecially with the older dogs, wewill tell the prospective owners.I like to be completely transpar-ent.”

Albury Wodonga Animal Rescue re-homes around 300 an-imals each year and those wish-ing to adopt a rescue pet can goonline at www.alburydogrescue.org.au

SUPERHEROES with super acrobatic skills will take to the stage at The Cube Wodonga on Tuesday.

Aimed at children aged three and up, KAPOW! is about a young girl with a vivid imagination.

Scout has a lot of fun hanging out at her house and loves doing “mad tricks” on bunk beds.

Her best friends are Natalie the dog, who she dresses in a school uniform, and an ordinary imaginary guy Terry, an amazing dancer who only eats corn-flakes.

Together they take the audience on a backyard adventure, training to become superheroes as they confront their big-gest fears.

The three are afraid of the fence, be-cause when things go over there, they never come back.

Nobody knows what’s on the other side.

One day Scout’s favourite toy, a soft

teddy bear called Rosie, is accidentally thrown over the fence.

To get her back, Scout has to admit her vulnerability, Terry has to access his inner superhero and Natalie leads them in some serious superhero training.

KAPOW! is about vulnerability, fear of the unknown, the joy of physical play and the desire to be better than we are.

The show is physical, acrobatic, fun-ny and very touching.

It has an original soundtrack devel-oped by Ania Reynolds and costumes by Amanda Fairbanks.

KAPOW! has received rave reviews from members of the press and was vot-ed the best family show at the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2010.

It will show at The Cube on Tuesday, 25 September at 11am and 1pm.

Tickets cost $10 and are available by phoning (02) 6022 9311 or online at the-cubewodonga.com.au/tickets.

Watch out, there’s little to seeBy SARAH MEREDITH

MOVIE: The Watch (MA15+)DURATION: 102 minutesYOU’D think a film written by Akiva Stern (Mr Popper’s Penguins) and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad and Pineapple Express) and starring a reliably funny cast, would be a safe bet for a fun night out in the cinema.

Well, unless your sense of humour is on par with that of a 16-year-old boy, guess again. With a sour tone and jokes that have no punchlines, this is a relent-lessly unfunny comedy that shifts into an unexciting sci-fi comedy.

The film follows Evan (Stiller),

who is the ‘go-to’ guy for organising community action in his neighbour-hood.

After a grisly murder, Evan decides to form a neighbourhood watch and fellow residents Bob (Vince Vaughn), Franklin (Jonah Hill) and Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade, of cult UK TV show The IT Crowd), answer the call to serve. The foursome begin patrolling the community in order to prevent fur-ther criminal activity, only to discover their neighbourhood is actually ground zero for an impending alien invasion.

The Watch storyline parallels a number of alien invasion comedy/hor-ror plots, but is unable to come up with any fresh, or many funny, ideas. The

characters rely heavily on crude toilet humour that instead of making the au-dience laugh, all you wanted to do was cringe - except for the young blokes in front of this reviewer who thought it was hilarious. The plot goes nowhere interesting, as the overwrought special effects swamp all the characters and leave the story feeling flat and point-less.

It’s hard to recommend The Watch to anyone. The members of many au-diences will think it underwhelming or outright disappointing, but moviegoers looking for a sparse comedy escape - especially the young male market - will probably enjoy it most.

By BLAIR THOMSONTHERE are plenty of people imperson-ating Elvis … but few do it with as much passion as Max Pellicano.

The Detroit resident has performed as The King for more than 30 years af-ter walking the boards in musicals at the University of California.

“I was hired to do an Elvis show in Hawaii,” he explained.

“I did the Elvis Aloha from Hawaii show for three years and from there I went to Vegas and I’ve just been work-ing since.

“I mean he’s a great character to do.“Growing up I was more of a Beatles

and Rolling Stones fan, but in studying Elvis as a character, I really liked him.”

While Elvis’s early music was a rev-elation that changed the course of rock ‘n’ roll, his popularity after his death is a phenomenon in itself - with countless impersonators donning his clothes and accent.

“It’s because he was such a great character … people just like his style,” Pellicano said.

“He was the kinda guy that did what he wanted to do.

“If he liked sideburns, he grew side-burns.

“When he first came out he was pret-ty wild and it wasn’t acceptable at that time.

“But he had the guts to go out and do what he wanted to do and he was a rebel in that period .

“I think a lot of people relate to that and a lot of people like to imitate him because he was a great person.”

Pellicano said while The King didn’t invent rock ‘n’ roll, he certainly helped shape it.

“Music probably wouldn’t be the same,” he said.

“Rock ‘n’ roll would have come out, but it wouldn’t have come out with the fervour that it did.

“He really was the catalyst for rock ‘n’ roll.

“People say he wasn’t the one that invented rock ‘n’ roll, he wasn’t the first one to do it, but he was the one who re-ally blew it apart.”

To prepare himself for each show,

Pellicano stares into a mirror and starts speaking with Elvis’s southern drawl.

Working with people close to the late performer gave Pellicano an insight into what The King was like behind the scenes.

“I’ve never heard one bad word about Elvis,” he said.

“Everyone says he was just really down to earth and a great person, so it’s easier for me to do the character because it’s a character I like.”

Pellicano is currently touring Austra-lia with his Elvis to the Max show, which features a 12-piece band.

“I pretty much do most of his career,” Pellicano said of the performance.

“I do the Vegas part with a horn sec-tion and singers, the whole deal.

“It’s a lot of fun and there are a lot of people on stage performing at a pretty high energy.

“And we’re now getting a lot of younger people starting to come out.”

Elvis to the Max plays at the Albury Entertainment Centre on Friday, 28 Sep-tember.

It’s Elvis, to the Max-imum

ICONIC… Max Pellicano is the star of Elvis to the Max, which is on at the Albury Entertainment Centre next Friday.

SETTING up a new home for multi-room media has become simpler and more affordable, with a greater array of products available.

The choice on how you go about this requires a futuristic insight besides today’s technol-ogy.

The incorrect choice can have a detrimental effect on the overall value and saleability of your home.

The world of home elec-tronics is ever-evolving; the foundations of most products remain constant, providing you work with brands and products that do not take shortcuts for price alone.

Today, everything can be in-tegrated, it being possible to ac-tivate any media for any room. You can incorporate your alarm and watering system, through to setting up your security cam-era - and watch it all from your IPad.

If the budget is a little more modest, wiring the home for audio and video switching can be simpler and less expensive than you may think.

If you keep the ‘wish list’ practical - and relatively un-complicated - a number of brands now compete in pack-age bundling, creating a more competitive environment.

Programmable Radio Fre-quency remote controls and products that operate via the iPad have also minimised switching costs.

The final word on smart home technology is that we will soon have more choices in computer operating systems for televisions.

All televisions with Ether-net capability will be able to access all of the operating sys-tems through secondary boxes. It is not necessary to have a smart TV to enjoy smart media television.

It’s so simple and smart

WITH monster size televisions due for release soon, it is worth commenting on the optimum viewing sizes for tele-visions.

The recommended screen is the size where you can immerse yourself into the image and least notice the artifices or pixelation.

The general rule has been screen size multiplied two and a half times the viewing distance. For example, for an 81cm (32” diagonal screen), being about 200cm away is the optimum, where it is close to 400cm for a 157cm (55” screen).

Variables to this depend on the stan-

dard of your television.A budget performing TV may mean

the minimum could be set back to three or three and a half times for the optimal viewing.

THX recommend the premium cali-brated televisions at a low 1.2 times. Picture standard oversize does matter.

Bigger, better, but don’t get too close

Bigger and better inside

EXPANSIVE… This large, modern home is the perfect rental for the growing family.

THE NSW Government is calling for public input into strata title law.

People are being asked to make submissions on a discussion pa-per which outlines issues faced by stakeholders.

More than 25 per cent of people in NSW own, live or work in one of more than 70,000 strata or commu-nity schemes.

Almost three quarters of the schemes have 10 lots or less, but all have to elect a committee. Just over half of all lots in NSW are currently investor owned.

In some schemes, tenants make up all, or the majority, of residents - and yet they have no voting rights and can’t attend committee meet-ings.

Around 60 per cent of all schemes in NSW are managed by a licensed strata managing agent, close to 100 per cent in large and

complex schemes. About 25 per cent of disputes that come to Fair Trading are about the conduct of managing agents.

The number one inquiry from strata and community schemes across the state is about common property maintenance. Land and Property Information and NSW Fair Trading receive more than 500 calls a week about this issue, which is of-ten a complex matter.

Many people regard the current laws as being “overly formal, old-fashioned, complex and restrictive,” according to Anthony Roberts, the Minister for Fair Trading.

He said the government needed much feedback to achieve a good balance between competing inter-ests when legislating.

The discussion paper and an on-line survey is at www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au

GEOFF Haberecht doesn’t mind admit-ting he was sceptical. Not any more.

Mr Haberecht - the owner of Tru Hifi and our home entertainment columnist - only advertised in the web directory be-cause he thought he would give the QR Code “a go”.

“Talk about a quick response. I got at least 100 extra hits, no, more, many more than I normally would - and it happened oh so quickly,” Mr Haberecht said.

“It introduced our business, and what we offer, to a different market. It was a much younger aged clientele than I thought.

“I am sold on it (QR Code) and will use it again. It has my recommendation.

“I was, to say the least, dubious over it. But then I physically saw the result and now I’m sold on it.

“You can judge the results immedi-ately. I couldn’t believe it.”

Another advertiser – who described himself as “too embarrassed” to say his name because he had previously pub-licly said QR wasn’t all it was cracked up to be – admitted to finally being ‘won over’.

“It works,” he simply confessed.So what is a QR Code?Just as in the medical world, QR

stands for quick response. It is a mobile phone readable barcode that has been big in Japan – and is now “growing legs” in Australia and the United States.

A QR Code can contain a wide range of information and is being used widely by businesses all over the globe.

People with a smart phone who have had, or have, one of the many free QR Code reading apps installed, simply scan the QR Code which leads to the linked website or facebook page.

The QR Code can be scanned from an advertisement in a newspaper, on a

billboard or business cards – or, get this, from the side of a vehicle.

And as part of the Web Page Direc-tory, NewsWeekly will supply a finished pdf on the QR Code for participating businesses – at no extra cost.

How’s that for an offer?

Quick in name and quick off the mark

IT’S TOP… Geoff Haberecht says QR Code is “a must have.”

QR stands for Quick Response Codes. They are a type of bar code which can store Web addresses (URLs) or Facebook pages. If you install a QR code reader application on your mobile phone you will be able to take a picture of the code which will automatically link your phone to the web page.

When you scan the code with your mobile device it will open up the URL and you can view the web page on your mobile!

You must first load an application like Barcode Reader or Bakodo onto your mobile for Android smartphones or for the iPhone QR Reader for iPhone or Barcode Reader. These are FREE, quick and easy to install. If you are unsure which application to load, search online with the words QR code reader and the make and model of your mobile.

Mainly with smartphones that have a camera. If you are unsure check online and reference your make and model of phone to check.

Switch on your mobile, open up the application (e.g. Barcode Reader) using the camera facility, point at the QR code so that it reads it, wait for recognition, and wow!

QR codes are becoming very popular and it’s used as a shortcut to link to content online using your phone’s camera, saving you from typing lengthy addresses into your mobile browser. Have a go!

THINK of the longest “countdown” you’ve had.

It might have been waiting for a pop group or entertainer to perform, it may have been waiting for your coming of age, or it might have been waiting for the perfect job.

Well, it has got nothing on the count-down Albury basketball fans are experi-encing.

They still have to wait nearly another month before they can even buy a tick-

et to see her. And then there’s another month after that waiting for her “in the flesh.”

“Her” is Lauren Jackson – and on Sunday, 18 November she will return to the Albury stadium to play there for the first time since it was named after her.

Jackson, who carried the Australian flag at the opening ceremony at the Olympics, will suit-up for the Canberra Capitals in their WNBL clash with the Bendigo Spirit.

“We’re already seeing a lot of interest in this match, and rightly so,” Ros Walls of AlburyCity Events said.

“Lauren’s a local girl who’s become a superstar and living legend of the game. We’re expecting a sell-out crowd.”

Tickets go on sale, naturally from the Lauren Jackson Sports Centre, on Tues-day 16 October at 9am. They cost $20 for adults, concession is $11 and family $50.

A CROSS-country cham-pion and 21 members of the Wodonga Basketball Association are the latest recipients of the Wodonga Council Young Achiever Support Scheme (YASS) award.

Ella-Jane Riley, 14, recently competed in the National Cross Country Championships at Oak-bank racecourse near Ad-elaide. In appalling condi-tions over the 4km course, she finished 50th in a field of 80.

The basketballers were among 10 teams and 92 athletes from regional Vic-toria to make a 16,000km trip to contest the Interna-tional Basketball Global Cup in Florida.

The players, aged be-tween 12 and 18, attended a two-day training camp, which included appear-ances from NBA players and coaches, prior to the competition. They played four games during the week, the A girls winning the 16 age group, while the B team were runners-up in their category.

YASS provides fi-nancial assistance to youngsters to participate, develop skills, compete, perform or represent Wodonga at a state, na-tional or international level. Contact Anthony Nicholson on (02) 6022 9300 or at [email protected] for more details.

THE Albury Wodonga Triath-lon Club has a registration day on Sunday.

“Based on the feedback we’re receiving, we’re expect-ing to see a number of new faces sign,” club vice-presi-dent Peter Hudec said.

The 2012-13 season begins

on Sunday, 7 October with a duathlon at the Allans Flat course.

The event involves a three kilometre run, 13km ride andthree kilometre run.

Sunday’s ‘sign on’ is at the Albury Swim Centre between10am and noon.

Tri-day on Sunday

THE annual Tour Of Two Riv-ers Bellbridge road race will be held on Sunday.

The start and finish points of the 60-kilometre race are the Bethanga pub and Kurra-jong Gap.

“The significant climb (to Kurrajong Gap) will be chal-lenging, but rewarding, for rid-ers,” organiser Rohan Christ-mas said.

“For spectators, it will be an exciting hilltop finish with wonderful views across Luke Hume. Cowbells, flags and devils are most welcome.”

The King of the Mountainwill be held at Talgarno Gap.

Brendan Washington of the Albury Wodonga Cycle Club – winner of the A Grade series last year – is eyeing similar success, as is clubmate DeclanGregory, who was third overall last year.

There are races for grades A, B, C and D and for women in the top three grades.

The race starts at 10am andcosts $20 to enter.

“HISTORY never repeats” is an often said state-ment – and Split Enz even recorded a song of that title.

However, history will be repeated for an unprec-edented fourth time on Sunday, when Albury meet Yarrawonga yet again on the biggest stage - the Ov-ens and Murray grand final.

They are two of the most powerful clubs in Aus-tralia – and have a rivalry like no other.

After lowering their colours to the Tigers in the past three deciders, the Pigeons will certainly be desperate to reverse the trend.

Yarrawonga has enjoyed a brilliant year, losing just one game – to Albury - and drawing with Lav-ington in another.

They have benefitted from having last week off, giving their players the opportunity to freshen up.

Centurion goalkicker, Brendan Fevola, will also be better off for the break, a serious knee injury sig-nificantly hampering his last outing.

Yarrawonga’s great spread of midfielders - and a disciplined defence, led by co-coach Drew Barnes – troubled all teams this year. But – and the big question is - “can they stand up on Sunday when it counts most?”

Albury were dismissed by most experts, injuries and inconsistent form being the main concerns.

However, like the champion team they are, the Tigers ignored the doubters and last Sunday pro-duced their best performance for the year.

The Tigers led by 67 points at one stage, and de-spite allowing the Rovers back into the game, went on to register a convincing win. Ruckman Josh Dicketts was a great target up forward, and usual suspects Luke Packer, Charles Gaylard and Joel Mackie, were prominent.

The following possible line-ups will be crucial to Sunday’s result.

Dicketts v Symes: Dicketts has had a huge fi-nals series and has become an important forward focus. Symes is the most improved player in the league and works hard around the ground. He, too, is a goalkicking ruckman.

Ednie v O’Connell: Yarrawonga’s little champ, Craig Ednie, can influence a game like no other. He loves the big stage and Albury may look toward their human blanket, Joel O’Connell, to quell his influenece.

Fevola v Koehler: Jay Koehler was brilliant on Barry Hall last week and will get a chance to back up against Fev, who kicked 10 against the Tigers when they last met. Koehler did not play that day.

Joel Mackie v anyone: Mackie is near impos-sible to stop. He has continued to dominate this season with his bullocking runs and no nonsense attack on the footy. Yarrawonga may try to nullify him around contests, but that will be no easy task.

Best of luck to both sides. I’m tipping Albury by eight points.

IMPORTANT… Brendan Fevola (left) and Joel Mackie will be crucial to their teams in the grand final.

It’s four on end for Tigers

By PETER SWEENEY

BEHAVE … that's the warning from police and the Ovens and Murray Football Netball League to specta-tors attending Sunday's grand final at Lavington.

In what is tipped to be one of the biggest crowds ever, fans are being urged to enjoy the football – and let others do the same at the fourth suc-cessive grand final clash between Al-bury and Yarrawonga.

The Tigers have won the past three premierships.

A large squad of police will be in and outside the ground – as will se-curity guards.

Police have warned spectators of anti-social behaviour – particularly if they drink too much.

“We always have a large contin-gent of security staff and we pay for extra police to come,” Ovens and Murray League general manager Tom O'Connor said.

“The Albury-Yarrawonga rivalry is presently the greatest in country football in Victoria, so naturally we are expecting a big crowd.

“You will not see a better standard of football in the country than this.

“The league has been pretty hap-py with how fans have behaved at the finals until now. We encourage fami-lies to attend and ask spectators to behave and respect others.

“We always have extra strategies in place on grand final day.”

However, the league is not run-ning buses to and from Lavington for fans on Sunday.

“We did it last year, but it wasn't worth the time and effort,” O'Connor said.

“We found people got their way to and from the game.”
