Albury Wodonga’s largest circulating newspaper

When Irish eyes are smilin’

The Irish might have the luck, as they say, but it is Beechworth that is in for a real treat this year. The Border’s favourite local Irish dancers are warming up and preparing to get jiggy at this year’s Beechworth Celtic Festival. FOR MORE DETAILS ON THIS GREAT EVENT, TURN TO PAGE 6.

Alarm bells go off after a high speed drag race…

Speed freaks THE BORDER police are warning young drivers to think of the severe consequences of street racing, after a high-speed drag race took place in Wodonga on the weekend. A 19-year-old Lavington man on his P-plates was allegedly caught doing 168 kilometres per hour on the Lincoln Causeway around 6pm Saturday evening. An unmarked police vehicle intercepted the young man’s Ford XR6. Shortly after, a black AU model XR Ford ute that was believed to be part of the race was seen speeding on Lincoln Causeway towards the border. Police are putting out a strong message that they won’t be tolerating any form of reckless driving, especially drag racing, says Albury Local Area Command’s Acting Sergeant Don Quist. “We are very concerned,” he said. “There’s risk to the drivers themselves, but there’s also risk to innocent bystanders. “Police will continue to be out there, and we’ll be carrying out high visibility policing.” The 19-year-old man was taken to Wodonga Police Station on counts of dangerous speeding, engaging in a street race, using an unroadworthy vehicle, and other traf-

fic offences. The Ford XR6, owned by the 30-year-old passenger, has been impounded for 30 days. Meanwhile, footage has emerged from a separate high-speed street race in Albury’s Wodonga Place on the weekend. Acting Sergeant Quist said police were investigating, and were concerned that the illegal act was being filmed for social media. “Videos that show racing are not acceptable and dangerous,” he said. The incident comes as Victoria Police currently conducts its biggest-ever road safety campaign, including 43 local operations and 22 State Highway Patrol operations. “All officers, regardless of their work environment, will respond if they observe irresponsible behaviour on our roads,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said. “You can be caught anywhere at anytime.” Police wish to speak to anyone who may have seen the XR6 and ute prior to police involvement. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make a confidential report at www.cirmestoppersvic.com.au Meanwhile, police say motorists were generally well-behaved over the long weekend, with speeding being the most common offence.

Paul and Lynn Geddes have fought the tough circumstances of Paul’s accident together. 128334 Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Caring for a carer

FOR many people, the job would have been too hard. But not for Lynn Geddes. When her husband Paul was left fighting for his life six years ago following a workplace accident, Lynn’s strength, determination, and love shone through as she dropped everything to take on the job of his full-time carer. It is a role that has quite possibly saved her husband’s life, and now Mrs Geddes is getting the recognition she so truly deserves. For the full story, turn to page two.

To add to her day, she must tend to the cooking, cleaning, shopping and laundry for the family, which includes two grown-up children living at home - one with Asperger’s, the other with autism - neither of whom can care for their father on their own. It has been a hard road, but Mrs Geddes’ motivation is fueled by Paul’s extraordinary progress, which everyone including the experts agree, would not have happened without her unwavering commitment. He can now walk short distances and pull himself up onto the commode unassisted. “It’s taken five years to get to where we are and everyone can notice the improvement,” Mrs Geddes said. With such inspiring commitment and love, it was a deserving moment when she was awarded the Continence Foundation of Australia’s Carer of the Year. “I just laughed,” Mrs Geddes

HUGE thumbs up to Matt and the crew at monumental ice cream just a great place to visit with even better ice cream and sorbets available.

To the neighbour who noticed our six-year-old son had left his bike in the park and stopped some kids running off with it and returned it to us. Great to have such good neighbours.

SIX years ago, a pallet of paper fell off the back of a semitrailer that was being unloaded and onto the head of Holbrook interstate truck driver Paul Geddes. He was left in a critical condition, lingering close to death. Just days after the accident, the doctors at The Alfred hospital, Melbourne, urged his wife Lynn Geddes to turn off her husband’s life support, believing he would never recover from the horrific injuries that affected every part of his brain except his cerebellum. Three weeks later, to the surprise of the medical team, the 60-year-old emerged from his coma, however his family was told he would remain in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. Ever determined, Mrs Geddes refused to put her husband into a care home, and at the age of 52 quit her factory job in Albury to begin the daunting task of rehabilitating her husband at home. Mr Geddes’ luck took another backward turn six months later, when during one of his many brain surgeries he suffered a devastating stroke. He still returned home after the stroke, and now, with the help of a carer eight hours each weekday, Lynn manages Paul’s rehabilitation. It is a full-time job that takes up nearly every waking moment of her day. Mrs Geddes’ typical day starts before husband Paul is even out of bed when she takes him through his arm and leg stretches, showering, dressing, and rehabilitation exercises that

AFP weighs in on votes By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE Australia Federal Police has now become involved in the voting scandal that has shocked the Indi electorate. Last year’s federal election saw Independent Cathy McGowan claim a shock defeat over the Coalition’s Sophie Mirabella. Now the Australian Electoral Commission has been investigating claims that many voters living outside the Indi electorate voted for the Independent MP. It was announced last week that the AFP would be handling the voter fraud investigation. Ms McGowan has refused to further comment on the matter, but says she continues to support the investigation. “In line with my earlier comments, while this matter is under investigation I will not be making any further comment,” Ms McGowan said. “If individuals have made unlawful declarations these should be fully investigated by the AEC and relevant authorities.” Ms McGowan’s office states she that has not been contacted by the

AEC or the AFP. The AEC released a statement last week saying its investigation involved 27 electors enrolled in the Division of Indi at the time of the 2013 election whose work, social media, and other details failed to correspond with an Indi residential address. The Electoral Integrity Unit said last week it had completed its examination and felt it needed to hand matters to the AFP as a number of Commonwealth laws may have been breached. The AEC is reminding all Australians to ensure their voting details are up-to-date and correct, with significant penalties applying to those making a false declaration on an electoral enrolment application. Meanwhile, the intense glare of the media has not slowed down Ms McGowan. She has maintained a busy schedule as Member for Indi, and is this week planning to meet with Falls Creek Resort Management Board members, attend the World Mental Health Day Luncheon in Bright, and speak at the Beechworth Chamber of Commerce AGM as just some of her commitments.

Member for Indi Cathy McGowan has been keeping up appearances despite the current voting controversy, last week meeting with Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority CEO Chris Norman and chairman Murray Picture: COURTESY OF MEMBER FOR INDI’S OFFICE Chapman. 128574

Border sold as a long weekend hot spot Woman, 19, THE Border was a hot spot to visit on the long weekend, with staff at Albury’s Tourist Information Centre reporting a strong number of visitors flowing into the region since Henty Machinery Field Days kicked off in late September. While official visitor numbers have not yet been counted, Albury Visitor Information Centre coordinator Jess Sevil predicted a lot more visitors had passed through the area compared to last year. “Compared to last year, the long weekend numbers are up,” she said. “The whole school holidays have been great, too.” A big driving force behind the busy tourism period was the Under 14s National Boys Club Championships. “There were a lot of families who had come along looking for things to do, mainly short activities for a few hours.” With the weather warming up, visitors have wasted no time making the most of the good weather and already begun inquiries into mountain biking, fishing, and camping. A surprisingly large number of the visitors during the long weekend came from the grey nomad demographic, who usually avoid

Albury and the Border was a hot spot for tourists this long weekend and school holidays. 128610 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE travelling during the busier school holiday periods. Ms Sevil said many people who visited loved the Border area, and enjoyed getting to know Albury. “A lot of people say we have a beautiful city, and they comment

on the lack of graffiti. “I think they enjoy the atmosphere and the vibe of the city. “A lot of people come here for the slow pace and range of activities.” Hot spots over the long week-

end in the Border included ice skating, the Albury Botanic Gardens’ Children’s Garden, and using the area as a base to travel the high country or head west to follow the Murray. Visitor numbers are expected to stay high until February.

ALBURY police say residents should remain alert not alarmed for their safety, after a 19-yearold Thurgoona woman was assaulted by five men in the early hours of Monday. The woman was kicked and punched by five men on Union Road, Lavington, around 3am, who chased and pushed her to the ground. She was able to break away from the assault, run away and report the crime. The woman underwent a number of scans at Albury Base Hospital before being released on Monday afternoon with bruising to her face. Albury Local Area Command’s Inspector Andrew Robertson said Albury was still a safe city. “It’s generally a pretty good place, there is no history of incidents of this nature that would cause need for alarm. “We are surprised because incidents don’t happen like this too often, but it is a good reminder to ensure your safety.” Police are reminding residents to let someone know where they are if they are out alone, or to walk in groups. Meanwhile police are asking any members of the public to who may have seen the men’s white utility vehicle or the victim walking along the roadway, or have any information on what occurred to contact Albury Police Station on 6023 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. The men have been described as varying in age.

Sign of change By ERIN SOMERVILLE ALBURY motorists were pleased on the weekend to see Kiewa Street reopened three weeks ahead of schedule. The $1.8 million redevelopment, backed by Albury City Council, left locals able to use the popular thoroughfare and returning traffic flow to normal. The new works include pedestrian traffic signals which replaced Albury’s most notorious intersection for pedestrians with a safe crossing point for residents. Albury City Council has received $45,000 in funding from Roads and Maritime Services to install the pedestrian-operated traffic signals while the council has matched the funds with a further $45,000 to complete the project. Although parking is still unavailable in some sections as the landscaping continues, it is expected to be in use soon once line marking and paving is complete over the next few weeks. Albury City’s Group Leader of Engineering Services Andrew Lawson welcomed the news. “This is a great outcome and delivered well ahead of schedule,” he said. “The road will be fully functional well before the busy Christmas period which is great news and will be welcomed by residents, motorists and traders.” Mr Lawson said the council had been working closely with traders and the Chambers of Commerce on the project to help ease the inconvenience that the major works was causing to businesses.

Kiewa Street opened for vehicle access on Saturday well Pictures: ADAM WILSON ahead of schedule. 128509

“They’ve been very supportive right throughout the works,” he said. “Obviously there’s been some inconvenience while the redevelopment has been underway but there’s no doubt that the outcome is worth it.”

The council says the upgrades will make Albury a more pedestrian and cycle-friendly city. Good weather and hard work has been cited as a major factor for driving the late November expected reopening date forward.

Bikes more than a one-off By ERIN SOMERVILLE WHEN Colin Broster first created the Border Bike Fest, he thought it would just be a one-off event. Suffering from a hereditary kidney disease, the idea to raise money for a charity happened to sneak up on him during a motorcycling trip around Tasmania in 2006. “My partner and I finished motorbiking around Tasmania, and we stopped in Bicheno and there was a small motorbike show there,” he said. “It planted a seed and gave me an idea to do it in Albury Wodonga to raise awareness about kidney health and organ donation.” That one-off event in 2008, succeeding on the back of Wodonga Lions Club and the help of Mr Broster’s friends, quickly grew, and has now become an annual show that attracts visitors from all neighboring regions. In its first two years, $11,000 was raised for Kidney Health Australia, before the event channeled funds raised to other local charities.

Colin Broster is the founder of the Border Bike Fest, and is wowed by how much it has grown over the years. 128423 Picture: CONTRIBUTED When Mr Broster had to take a step back from the event due to health issues in 2009, he was lucky to have the Ulysses Club, Wodonga Lions Club, and Classic Enthusiasts Motor Car Club jump on board. The event only continues to grow over the years. For an event that was meant to be a one-off, Mr Broster is very pleased with the results. “It has just taken off,” he said.

“Donations from local businesses have gone viral. “It’s quite emotional really.” The Border Bike Fest is on Sunday, 12 October at Gateway Lakes on the Lincoln Causeway, Wodonga. Over 200 modern, vintages and veteran bikes will be on show. See www.motorbikeshowandshine.com for more details to book a trade site or download a Show and Shine registration form.

Teaching the Celtic tradition GEORGIA Webb began dancing at Beechworth’s Celtic Festival when she was just eight years old. Now 20 years later, Ms Webb continues to show up to the festival each year to show off some of the region’s finest Celtic dance. “I get satisfaction in knowing that we are keeping the tradition going,” she said. “I’ve been teaching dance now for eight years and I love seeing the younger ones learning and improving with every class." Dance teacher Cathie Webb, who has been involved with the festival since its inception, said Irish dancing could be quite challenging and that a good dancer needs stamina, co-ordination and good timing. According to the dance teachers, Irish dancing has exploded in popularity, with 100 students in Wodonga and Beechworth trying their feet at the style of dance. “It’s out of control,” Ms Webb said. “I don’t know if it’s Riverdance’s influence, but it’s very popular.” This year, festival-goers

Josie Davis, Soraya Doubleday, Georgia Webb and Timeeka Coleman will be part of the Celtic celebrations in Beechworth next month 128458 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE can expect a variety of modern and traditional music choreographed to entertain. The dancing is just a small section of the iconic Beechworth Celtic Festival which is on 7 to 9 November. Other events include the Gala Celtic Dinner on the Friday evening at the Old Priory, a great-fun Ceilidh on Saturday afternoon and the Community

Concert on Saturday evening. The Beechworth Celtic Festival attracts up to 10,000 people per annum and generates an estimated $500,000 to $1 million in revenue for the historic township. For the full schedule of artists and shows and to purchase tickets, visit www.beechworthcelticfestival.com.au.

Andrew makes a smooth transition into real estate By ERIN SOMERVILLE AFTER 28 years in the same job, it can often be difficult to make a career change, but it is one that Wodonga Real Estate’s newest agent Andrew Bowen is doing with style and ease. Having worked for almost three decades as Peards’ manager and purchasing officer, he has moved his friendly smile over the Murray to help take on the city’s strong real estate market at Wodonga Real Estate. Mr Bowen’s passion for the industry and strong per-

sonal experience with the local market fuelled his motivation to change career paths, which can often be a difficult feat later in life. Luckily, it is a move he does not regret. “I came to Wodonga Real Estate because it has a great reputation, and I have had a great time with people working here, they’ve been very supportive,” he said. Mr Bowen knows real estate can often be a daunting experience for many buyers and sellers, and is able to bring an abundance of positive elements to his new job that help make the process as easy

and stress-free as possible. “It’s a people-based business, and obviously combined with passion, reliability, and honesty, provides the opportunity in the long run to stand in good stead with the community in the future.” Mr Bowen, who is licensed in both New South Wales and Victoria, is now ready to help you buy or sell your property at the best prices. There is no better time than now to head down to Wodonga Real Estate to pick out your dream home, rental, or put your house on the market.

Andrew Bowen is the latest addition to the team Wodonga Real Estate. 128549 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE

Rural fears over new university reforms aired By ERIN SOMERVILLE STUDENTS and staff at Charles Sturt University (CSU) are calling upon the Federal Government to ensure rurally based communities are not overlooked in the upcoming higher education reforms. The call comes after Charles Sturt University Vice-Chancellor Professor Andrew Vann recently presented a CSU submission to the senate, outlining his concern that fee deregulation could have negative consequences on rural, regional and Indigenous students, from low socio-economic status (SES) . “Significant increases could act as a significant disincentive for these students, whose participation rate is already below average, to undertake higher education,” Professor Vann said. “CSU supports calls for the Federal Government to develop a set of policy responses to help rurally based regional universities invest in their communities. “This would help to address long-term structural market imperfections in rural areas.” In the submission the Vice-Chancellor also highlights concern for students’ financial position under the reforms, opposing the proposed 20 per cent reduction in Commonwealth funding for undergraduate university courses, as well as changes to paying of HELP/HECS debts. Currently students must earn $53,345 before they can start paying back their debts. “Rural and regional salaries for many professions are generally lower that the equivalent in metropolitan areas, leading to higher debts and longer times needed to repay,” he said. Meanwhile, local students are concerned but not panicked over the reforms, according to CSU’s Murray Campus Council president Joshua Redman.

CSU Murray Campus Council president Joshua Redman says students are concerned about what the higher education reforms will bring for rural and regional universities 128583 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE “I think students are concerned but not up in arms about it,” he said. “A lot of students aren’t aware of the impact.” Mr Redman said the student council was concerned however that student university experience could be jeopardised under the reforms, which is a vital element particularly in regional universities. It is also feared the regional university’s strong research units could suffer under the reforms.

Petition on abortion is widespread By ERIN SOMERVILLE

Ezeke Morey and James Collier treat Charlie (golden) and Tigga (brown) to toys. 128530 Picture: CONTRIBUTED

Toys make these doggies’ day By ERIN SOMERVILLE A COMPUTER game, figurine, or bike are some things you’d expect to see on the birthday wish list of a young boy - but not for this local duo. James Collier and Ezeke Morey, both St Augustine’s Primary School Wodonga students, spent their ninth and 10th birthday doing some good for the community, and asked guests to bring a donation for the Albury RSPCA Foster Dogs instead of a present to their birthday party. Birthday guests donated $265, allowing the boys to purchase toys for their canine friends. On Friday, the pair were able to spend time with the dogs as they brought them new presents to play with. The boys are now hoping other children will follow their lead, and

ask their friends to donate to a selected charity instead of purchasing a birthday present. The RSPCA is very grateful for the donation, said RSPCA Albury Branch President Arthur Frauenfelder. “The need for toys has been an ongoing request from foster carers, particularly for the larger dogs in the RSPCA Albury Foster Care Program,” he said. “We are able to provide bedding, food, collars and leads as all these items are donated to our branch, however, toys are not an item we receive as a donation and we don’t use branch funds to buy toys. “Funds mostly go towards the general day to day costs such as vet bills for desexing, microchipping and other veterinary treatment, and supporting our branch inspector.”

Perhaps most impressed with the efforts though were dogs Charlie and Tigga, with seven-month-old Charlie covering the boys with many sloppy kisses as a sign of appreciation. Both dogs were there to receive the gifts, which included 20 dog toys that will provide hours of stimulation for them during their foster care program. While Charlie and Tigga may not want to be separated from their new toys so soon, they are both in need of a home, and with lovely natures and personalities, and very child-friendly, would make a great addition to a home. Should anyone be interested in adopting Charlie (7 months old male) or Tigga (3 years old - male) they can contact the RSPCA on 0447 367 837.Their details can be viewed on www.adoptapet.com.au (Albury).

ALMOST seven weeks after it was launched, the Rights to Privacy group is continuing to strongly forge ahead with its petition to create an exclusion zone around all women’s health clinics in New South Wales. The campaign is beginning to take on state-wide momentum, with copies of the petition being distributed across New South Wales women’s health centres. Rights to Privacy Albury spokesperson Peter Mourik said he would be travelling to Sydney at the end of October to help launch a public campaign and increase momentum on the issue. The exclusion zone, if implemented, would mean groups who protest against abortion would be removed from the vicinity. This would include the local Helpers of God’s Precious Infants, who gather outside the Englehardt Street women’s clinic every Thursday. Sydney-based Rights to Privacy volunteer Claire Pullen said she was eager to see the campaign ramped up in Sydney and across the state. She highlighted that the petition was being well-received in Sydney, with women wanting to be able to carry out a legal medical procedure or simply attend a medical appointment in private. “We think it’s important that people should be able to go to the doctor with-

out being harassed by strangers,” Ms Pullen said. “Just because you personally disagree with some form of medical treatment shouldn’t mean you harass people on the street to try and impose your views on them, and to try and force them to change their minds about their treatment.” Ms Pullen said a right to privacy was important for everyone, not just women. “It’s not controversial that you have a right to your privacy when it comes to medical matters, (but) for the protesters it is all about women, about targeting women, and about shaming women for the choices the protesters think they are making.” Meanwhile, Rights to Privacy Albury has extended its campaign and taken to Albury Rotary Market to collect the 10,000 signatures required for a tabled discussion in Parliament. Rights to Privacy spokesperson Pieter Mourik said the move to the markets had been a success, with about 500 signatures from the event taking the petition’s total to 1500. Dr Mourik said the group would be continuing to collect signatures throughout the year, with no deadline being placed on when they need to hit the 10,000 signature goal. It is expected the local Rights to Privacy group will visit a number of popular locations in the upcoming months the help gather more signatures.

Put the pedals to the metal By ERIN SOMERVILLE IT'S time to get out the pump, find the helmet, and start pedalling. Up to 4000 bike riders will be cycling Border roads this year, as the Bicycle Network hits the region for next month's RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride. The RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride is one of the worldâ€™s largest oneweek cycling holidays, and it is expected the event will beneift many local economies and boost tourism as the cyclists roll across the region. Community meetings have been held this week in towns where the riders will camp overnight, inviting local council representatives, community groups and members, and tourism operators to have their say. Bicycle Networkâ€™s General Manager of Events, Darren Allen said the meetings were part of the final check for the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride. â€œThe local communities play a major part behind the scenes," he said. "It is no secret that the enthusiasm

of each community plays an important part in the success of the event and the return of riders in the future." One of the routes includes a fully catered camping holiday, which includes luggage transport, a licensed cafe under canvas at their rest stops, massage, a full medical team, bike repairs, and entertainment. The Border region was chosen for the 2014 route thanks to its stunning and challenging hills and valleys. Participants will range in age from toddlers to 80 years of age. This yearâ€™s routes are: - The nine-day RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride from Albury to Lilydale 520kms (29 November - 7 December); -The five-day RACV Great Vic Escape from Albury to Mansfield 334kms (29 November - 3 December); and -The three-day RACV Great Vic Getaway from Mansfield to Lilydale via the Black Spur - 186kms (5-7 December).

Your never too old to stop learning

Its members gratefully acknowledge the support offered by Albury Wodonga Community College. THIS was once uttered by industrialist Henry Ford, and the team at Albury Wodonga’s University of the Third Age are perhaps a great example of this. When looking at some of its 228 members, you will ﬁnd Mr Ford had a point, as their sharp wits, extensive knowledge, and liveliness are enough to keep give most younger residents a run for their money. Although not a true university, the team of people at U3A share knowledge, skills, and best of all get to learn without homework, exams, or assignments. With 24 classes on offer, the hardest thing members have to do is decide what courses their interested in. There is such a wide range of learning on offer,

from Demystifying Computers, Know your Camera, Music Appreciation, and Practical Psychology for Relationships only a few of the great choices on offer. As well as embracing lifelong learning opportunities, joining U3A allows members to develop personally, ﬁnd fresh opportunities in life, and form new friendships. It is all these beneﬁts that makes U3A student and vice-president Gudrun Reid keep coming back each term. “Most of us have worked all our lives, and when we stop working for money, after a while you begin to miss it and need more stimulation,” she said. “It is most important to get out and exercise

your brain.” The participants know how important it is to keep the mind active, with research showing it can help avoid depression, memory loss, and even dementia. Student Bill Warnock says he already sees the positive social role U3A plays in the retired community. “For me the most important part is social inclusion, when people retire they can face social exclusion.” The team at U3A are very warm and welcoming, and eager for those wanting to learn new things in their third age to come and join in on the fun. There is no such things as pressure, stress, or silly questions when learning through the

organisation. Whether you decide to take the course for fun, or devote a little extra time and seriousness to your studies, it is sure to help enrich your life and skills. “It is important to have the opportunity to do something entirely different to what you did years before,” Garden Group coordinator Shirley Farr said. U3A organises its own activities by drawing on the skills and experience of one another, making every single member very valuable with something to offer others. You may have retired, but it is vital to remember that your brain certainly hasn’t. So ﬁnd out more on 02 6043 8200.

Our senior resources By ERIN SOMERVILLE BORDER residents could be drawing more on the experience and pearls of wisdom offered by senior citizens, according to Wodonga mayor Rodney Wangman. As country music star James Blundell kicked off the Wodonga Senior Celebrations at the Cube on Wednesday to an excited crowd, Mr Wangman took the opportunity to acknowledge the importance of seniors in the community. “It’s wonderful to again acknowledge the roles seniors play in our community,” he said. “They bring wisdom, patience, and calmness to the community that we should draw on more in years to come.” This year’s Wodonga Seniors Celebration comprises more than 150 activities over October, welcoming an extra 25 additions to last year. It all began with a musical flashmob from the Gateway Ukelele Orchestra at Wodonga Cube before preceedings kicked off with James Blundell’s concert. Murray Conservatorium General Manager Jenny O’Hara said these musical ‘flashmob’ events, which sees a musical group or performer perform spontaneously at a random venue, would become more common in the Border as they looked to bring music to the masses. “The idea is to involve people who don’t normally access music,” she said. Meanwhile, Pam Adams was just one of dozens of seniors at

Tony Smith, Anne Hayward and Rod Phillips as part of the music flashmob, with a Hawaiian twist. 128323 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE

the launch and looking forward to the upcoming celebrations. “We are seniors, and after working all our lives we need to be acknowledged,” she said. The wide range of events is guaranteed to cater to the diverse taste of the Border's seniors, including activities such as Hippie Power, a swing band, high tea, how-to classes, dragonboating, and mystery bus tours. “There really is something

for everyone,” Cr Wangman said. “Our seniors’ wisdom, passion for Wodonga and dedication to making it a great place to live is remarkable and I thank them all for that. “As a council, we hope that the Senior Celebrations go some way to recognising how appreciated they are.” A full program of events is available at wodonga.vic.gov. au/snr-celebrations

Social Seen Oh what a night WODONGA Council has brought a new and exciting event to the city as the Fridays on my Mind event kicked off on Friday. The night saw The Cube Wodonga Courtyard transformed with events and activities encompassing The Cube Wodonga, Wodonga Library and Arts Space Wodonga as well as the Senior Citizens Centre where dancing is held on Fridays. Melbourne band Sol Nation kept the crowd entertained with their mix of reggae, salsa, and afro beats while they relax on vintage lounges and picnic rugs and feasted on everything from pizza and paella to macarons from Geoffrey Michael Patissier. Cheeky Peak Brewery talked and tasted all things home brew in Wodonga Library, while board games, bocce and bowls provided further fun. Seussical the Musical by Livid Productions was held in The Cube Wodonga and the performers made a special guest appearance before their show in the courtyard. There were also people roving around giving free shoulder massages. There will be five Fridays on my Mind events in November, January, February and March.

Ambience aplenty Rustic pub has appeal IT’S the excited chatter of smitten guests that has people making tracks through the stunning Victorian high country. The historic and iconic Blue Duck Inn Hotel is not the sort of place you just happen to ‘come by’. Situated at the confluence of three great trout rivers - the Cobungra, Bundarra and Mitta Mitta, its location, Anglers Rest, is a dead give away to the peace and serenity you can expect from this enchanting little pub. Word of not only the amazing location, but high quality, home-made food and charming cabins has travelled the world, attracting families, honeymooners, motorcycle enthusiasts, bush walkers, white water rafters, horse riders, bird watchers, fishermen and cyclists alike. “It’s a very unique environ-

ment - we don’t have mains power, we don’t have mobile phone reception, running as we did 100 years ago on a generator,” owner, Lana Antony said. The original 1900 building was a slab construction cut from local timber, which operated as a butcher shop offering fresh meat to the miners. Billy O’Connell, a successful miner, bought the buildings and obtained a hotel license in 1912, but ended up nailing a panning dish to the front of the hotel and wrote with irony, ‘Blue Duck’ (ifa gold lease produces no gold, it’s known as a blue duck.) The original buildings still stand and have been joined together providing a new bar area. It is a sight to see many of the old photos still adorning the walls today. In keeping with the theme, the Blue Duck has a la carte

menu which is composed of locally sourced ingredients and food made on the premises, with the 400g prime scotch fillet the main attraction, a great Rogan Josh, or the pepper and steak pie are also on the menu. Maybe try the spicy pumpkin soup with our fresh baked crusty or garlic bread, they are sure to satisfy. Local wines, and a selection of cold beers are also available to tease the pallet. Finally, when you come for a meal and can’t tear yourself away from the place, pull up for a night or two in one of the six two-bedroom cabins. A unique experience not to be missed. The Omeo Highway is now sealed all the way from Albury to the Blue Duck, a delightful 2.5 hour drive offering beautiful views of the Victorian high country. Visit The Blue Duck Inn, Omeo Highway, Anglers Rest, 5159 7220.

JUST 30 minutes from Albury is the pub that has it all. If only the walls could talk. Built in 1891, the Culcairn Hotel welcomes every kind of patron, including those who enjoy lunch and dinners when travelling on the XPT, through the doors to utilise the bar, restaurant, TAB, games room, function room, beer garden and accommodation. Operating the hotel is a passion for owner Shannon Barber, who has been involved with the hotel one way or another his whole life. “I love pubs, on both sides of the bar,” he said. “My father and his brother, Wayne and Garry Barber, bought the hotel in the late ’90s.”Myself and my brother worked behind the bar and my mother helped run the winery tours, which we’ll start getting going again soon. “Eventually they sold the freehold to the current owners and my cousin (Kieren Barber) and I bought the lease. “We both grew up and went to school here, played footy here, so we know all the locals. It pulled at the heartstrings to get in here and have a go.” And having a go is exactly

There is always a cold beer waiting for you at the Culcairn Hotel 128589 what they’re doing. Shannon and his partner Amy Pearce, Kieren, gardeners Peter and Debbie Graham and Shannon’s parents Wayne and Christine Barber (who love to offer a helping hand at their old pub) have put big plans into action at the huge building and grounds. The pub garden is ideal for you and your family to relax in this spring. “The grounds are a nice environment for parents to get out there, escape and have a drink knowing their kids are safe.”

Also at the back of the hotel is a marquee, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries and even the odd wedding. Rest assured, the interior of the pub has even more to offer. Renovated with respect to its history, the hotel offers a rustic, homely ambience featuring an open fireplace, exposed timber bar and clever lighting made of everything from seed drills to wagon wheel centrepieces and tram lines. The accommodation has also kept its history. And of course, the food is well and truly worth stopping for.

For true country hospitality and beautiful, historic surroundings, visit the Culcairn Hotel.

Hearty meals from our extensive menu available for lunch and dinner 7 days. Accommodation and function enquiries welcome. Relax over a cold drink in our large, shady beer garden with restored fountain, perfect for families and evening get togethers.

Party Time

Planning your Christmas party CHRISTMAS party planning for a work event involves a lot of time and effort and has hundreds of variables to think of. This can be pretty overwhelming, especially if itâ€™s your ďŹ rst time. We have put together a party planning checklist to help you on your way. 1: Set the date Venues ďŹ ll up quickly and co - workers start making plans, so the sooner you set the date the easier this whole process will be. Once the date has been decided, send a â€˜save the dateâ€™ email. If there are quite a few â€˜canâ€™t make itâ€™ replies, this gives you a chance to change the date before anything has been booked. 2: Set the budget Find out how much money is available to spend on the party, as this will determine the type of Christmas party you organise. Keep in mind the type of organisation you are and the personalities of your co - workers; the style of party you want may not be what the whole ofďŹ ce wants. 3: Choose a party type Depending on your company size, budget , and location, there are a range of Christmas party routes you can go down. Will the party be a day or in the evening? Or both? Are husbands, wives, partners or children invited? Are you a small ofďŹ ce which will beneďŹ t from a more intimate casual party?

4: Find your perfect venue Shop around for a venue available on your dates and within your budget. Find out whether they offer the services you need such as food and drinks, and take into consideration whether the venue is easily accessible for guests. Organise a venue visit if you can. Also think about the weather will you have a backup plan if itâ€™s raining? Find out what is included in the quote and what will need to be hired in - you donâ€™t want to be caught out with missing catering staff or stuck cleaning up afterwards because itâ€™s not included. Find out if accommodation is available at or near the venue. Will you need to hire a taxi or a bus? If your company is notorious for â€˜no showsâ€™, ďŹ nd out if you can book a minimum and add guests later. 5: Pick a theme Whether you decide to go formal, wintery or â€˜out thereâ€™, theming is key for venue decoration and letting everyone know what to wear! Some theme ideas include: Winter Wonderland, Christmas, Victorian/Dickens, James Bond, Masquerade, 1920s/The Great Gatsby, Fire and Ice, Narnia, Ballroom and Vintage. Venue Decoration: Pick out focal points of the venue to decorate - the entrance/arrival drinks, bar, table centres etc. and make a list of items that relate to your chosen theme working

All your party hire and costume needs in one place! Â…(BT CBMMPPOT Â… 4USFBNFST EFDPSBUJPOT Â… %SFTT VQ BDDFTTPSJFT

www.beautespaandsalon.com.au

7: Beverage distribution The dreaded drink distribution all depends on your budget. There are two options: 1. Pre - order drinks 2. Pay for what is consumed on the night. A good way to distribute evenly is to have set amount of bottles per table or have waiter service topping up when needed. Alternatively, you can have an â€˜order from the barâ€™ system or a drinks table where guests can help themselves. As to which drinks to include in the budget , red and white wines are usually the best for the â€˜massesâ€™.

8: Set up the entertainment Music is the obvious one, depending on whether you want a live band or DJ, the search is also a make or break for the party. Some venues may have a resident DJ in for Christmas helping your process along. For package deals, before you book ďŹ nd out if they come with or without entertainment and what type of entertainment, if offered. Additional popular entertainments include party games or end-of-year awards. 9: Co - ordinate a seating plan Especially with big companies, mixing colleagues is a good way for everyone to branch out of their departments so mix up the seating plan a little. If youâ€™re going to do a seating plan name cards are also a good idea! 10: Design the invites/tickets Key to knowing guest numbers, sending out invites, or selling tickets is an important follow up to your initial â€˜save the dateâ€™ email. Make sure tickets/invites are attractive and theme appropriate and include date, time, theme, RSVP (for invites) and venue address - all obvious but incredibly vital! And Finallyâ€Ś 11: Create an itinerary One handbook that entails everything you need to know about the event. Include a complete breakdown: who, what, where, when with all contact names, numbers and email of everybody involved. Donâ€™t forget to send a copy to everyone involved!

6: Organise the catering The food at a Christmas party can make or break the happiness of your guests (especially if theyâ€™ve paid for a ticket). You will need to decide on in - house catering or external caterers, although if youâ€™ve opted for a package event, catering will most likely be included in the price. In-house also tends to be cheaper and some venues may not allow external caterers, so take into consideration budget and the quality of the venueâ€™s food. Decide on the menu and food type - canapĂŠs, nibbles, three course meal - again if youâ€™ve opted for packaged events, this is probably something you wonâ€™t have to worry about. Organise vegetarian options and ďŹ nd out dietary requirements from guests.

THE foot and leg structure is crucial to good health and wellbeing. Painful feet and legs impair mobility, and inhibit the fundamentals of exercise, which is important for the health of the heart and lungs, reduces stress, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, burns calories, and aids bone health. Often children do not participate in sport or do not “like running” because they have poor foot shape - flat feet or excessively high arches. They find it difficult to run efficiently so sit out of activities that involve running. Children’s “growing pains” are often as a result of poor foot and lower leg shape and function. If your child is constantly complaining of lower leg and foot pain or tripping constantly, a check-up with your podiatrist is recommended. The arthritic and diabetic foot present unique challenges. Comprehensive assessment of the diabetic foot in particular, is essential to help prevent complications such as ulcers and lower leg amputations. The Australian Diabetes Association recommends an annual review with a podiatrist. Epidemiology studies indicate that the lower limb accounts for 40 per cent to 80 per

The team at Riverina Podiatry Group. 128467 cent of injury. Lower limb health fund claims in 2010, accounted for in excess of 42 per cent of all claims (Medibank Private). Additionally, the majority of lower limb injuries are overuse (80 per cent) due to poor technique, overuse and poor footwear habits. The results are not surprising given that most exercise regimes are weight bearing, requiring the lower limb linkage (feet, ankles, knees and legs). Podiatry has specialised for many years in assessing and diagnosing a multitude of foot and lower leg pathologies. The speciality involves; joint range of motion and muscle testing, walk and running gait assessments, proprioception and balance evaluation and implementation of appropriate

treatments with expected outcomes. Foot surgery can also be complicated and if a full understanding of foot structure and function is not considered before an operation, severe complications may result. Podiatrists can perform simple procedures to help relieve many complaints and podiatric foot and ankle surgeons are highly specialised to deal with more complicated conditions such as bunions, arthritic joints, fractures and nerve compressions. The use of splinting and orthotic therapy is also an integral component of podiatric care. Shoe specificity for your individual mechanics and comfort is possible by a simple analysis of foot type, injury, and gait. Riverina Podiatry Group can help you select your footwear.

IG Big Band is in the box By TANIA PHILLIPS THE IG Big Band will swing into the Cube at Wodonga on Friday night for one night only.

This girl’s gone real good Gone Girl (MA) Starring: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Kim Dickens LOVING a novel can often lead to complications when hearing it is about to be transferred onto the silver screen. For so many fans of Gillian Flynn’s hit book Gone Girl, Thursday’s release date was met with bated breath as they headed to cinemas to see if the story had been butchered. Thankfully, director David Fincher got just about everything perfect to keep fans happy. Gone Girl begins on the fifth wedding anniversary of Nick (Ben Affleck) and Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike). Nick, a bar owner in nowhere Missouri, arrives home to find his house a potential crime scene and his increasingly-withdrawn wife missing. Detective Margo Boney (Kim Dickens) arrives and quickly suspects that this staged crime scene is not all it seems. Evidence emerges that puts Nick in increasingly bad light, including their financial

troubles, their forced move to Missouri away from New York city, and violence, casting him immediatley as the villain. But as quick as the audience is to judge Nick, they soon learn there is a whole lot more to this troubled tale. The story does an amazing job of creating a murder mystery, while at the same time showing the audience how quick and easy it can be for public opinion to form en masse through the easily manipulation of media. Ben Affleck was cast perfectly as Nick, who flawlessly pulls of the challenge of por-

traying a character that is so unlikeable one minute, and can easily win back an audience the next. Rosamund Pike is sensational in playing the complex character of Amy, and her chemistry with Affleck truly brought the story to life. The supporting cast were all strong, and continued to enrich the film. Gone Girl is a wonderfully made film, bound to have your mind racing throughout the entire screening, and long after you leave the cinema. - ERIN SOMERVILLE

It is a factor with many corporations that a speaker company may have a number of brand names or logos they own. This allows the chain store's exclusive labels to protect the low pricing advertising policies. We research thoroughly our brands and recommend to our clients to check a European or USA website for a comparable price. If brand A is 10 per cent dearer than brand B in the USA and it is 50 per cent the difference in Australia you may not be getting the best deal, even if they claim it is on sale. 5.

IN THE 45 years I have sold sound equipment, I have formulated a number of rules for each and every client. Rarely do I find the needs identical to the last. The reasons contradict the way many brands go to market suggesting one size fits all. 1. The first rule is to ensure the item is compatible with all existing equipment and it will be relevant for its working life. 2. When we get down to a few potential items we put the product to the test to be compatible with the client. That is we tailor to the needs and to the technical level that is comfortable. 3. To work and explain with a level playing field the specifications. At times we have to work out the calculations of what the true power of the system is. A highly marketed budget product may claim a 100-watt unit and may only produce 10 true watts. To see

sound perfect in the store and quite different in the home. This process requires the knowledge of how certain brands behave in certain environments. I have had many occasions where somebody has come to purchase the same stereo via a customer recommendation to sell something entirely different that best suits their needs rather than just taking the easy sale. A number of companies provide sound equalisationability to help overcome the obstacles and while a good equalisation system is beneficial, to avoid major acoustic clashes it is still best to create organic sound performance than try to electronically repair a problem. 6. To remain open-minded in new ways of improving the outcome. Nothing stays the same forever. Our clients can teach us more about your needs than any Google search.

THE Albury Wodonga Islamic community fears it could soon face hostility from residents with the heavy national media focus on Islamic terrorists. The comments come from Islamic Society of Albury Wodonga president Yakub Muhammad who spoke to the Albury Wodonga News Weekly following anti-terror raids on Islamic homes across Australia and a ramped-up national committment to fight the Islamic State, or ISIS. Mr Muhammad said the constant recent media coverage of a small percentage of Islamic extremists, who he said the peaceful local community condemn, threatened to create a fear mongering mentality against all Muslims, particularly in regional Australia. â€œRegional areas tend to cop it the most because there isnâ€™t as much education or exposure to Muslims,â€? he said. â€œAll of a sudden people can see someone with dark skin in a turban or Islamic costume or with a head scarf on, and I have specifically seen here some people get scared and some get angry.â€?" Mr Muhammad, Yakub Muhammad. who has lived in Albury for 27 years, said his sister and wife have recently been abused in a car park by a man for wearing hijabs (scarfs that cover the hair) and were left feeling shaken and too afraid to continue their shopping. His friendâ€™s wife has also reported being abused by a man in Lavington shopping centre for wearing a niqab (veil that covers the face and shows only the eyes), and said she had to publicly defend her decision for wanting to wear one for religious reasons. Mr Muhammad said he is concerned about the effect current international events and media coverage will create, particularly on Albury Wodongaâ€™s approximate 300 Muslim residents. â€œIâ€™m just waiting to get more abusive calls, I think they are coming big time,â€? he said. â€œIslam is about peace, not violence or beheadings, thatâ€™s not Islamâ€? he said. Mr Muhammad said he is making an effort to open the doors of the local Muslim community to residents who have any questions or are curious, including holding open days.

Mr Beattie acknowledged that while electronic music continued to dominate many local venues, local bands needed to create a big push to secure their place back in the limelight. â€œLive music doesnâ€™t have the same pull as it used to, the way music has travelled is more into an electronic field,â€? he said. â€œGetting the word out there is very important, and musicians need to take on that responsibility as well.â€?

DOMESTIC violence should not remain behind closed doors. This is the message local police and support workers are shouting across the city following a rise in reported cases this year. The latest Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research report shows 50 extra cases of domestic violence were reported in Albury during the 12 months to June, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. The 19 per cent jump means Alburyâ€™s latest domestic violence count stands at 310 incidents. With staff at the Womenâ€™s Centre for Health and Well-being Albury Wodonga seeing more than this number of women every year, it is almost certain this is only a small fraction of incidents occuring behind closed doors in the local government area. â€œThe statistics donâ€™t reflect how many women and children suffer from domestic violence,â€? the centreâ€™s health promotion worker Peta Pitman said. The incorporation acknowledges women can occasionally be the instigators of domestic violence themselves, but statistics show the crime is most often committed by males. The centre works with local residents to help them escape domestic violence situations, and provide them with knowledge, options, and support. Many women seek assistance anonomously. â€œFor us, itâ€™s all about wanting women to be safe,â€? Ms Pitman said. â€œWe work with experts to support them in what way is right for their individual situation.â€? There have been suggestions that the rise in domestic vioence reports could be a positive indication that it is no longer a crime being kept secret. â€œIn terms of that, we are seeing more confidence with victims report-

THE Borderâ€™s music scene is not being given a proper chance to be heard, say local artists. The comments come after NSW Police Minister Michael Gallacher stated earlier this month that the live music industry was dead thanks to the closure of music venues. Local artists say the music scene is well and truly flourishing behind closed garage doors on the Border, but finding avenues to perform live can be tricky. Many local acts find it necessary to travel out of the region and to major cities to showcase their hard work. A heavy emphasis on DJs and pop music culture through programs such as The Voice and X Factor has also been detrimental to up-and-coming musicians, with audiences constantly demanding more than a stripped-down, talented performance, Border artists said. Albury band Midnight Alibiâ€™s singer James Oswald is one of many musicians who spoke to the Albury Wodonga News Weekly, and is eager to see more support for live music. â€œThe music scene here is better than what people think,â€? he said. â€œIn the last five years there have been that many people starting bands and playing. â€œThere is a lot of need to have a platform to showcase the work.â€? With many venues preferring to hire cover bands or DJs, some local artists say they feel pushed out of the scene on the Border. â€œWe have both a vibrant music scene with lots of local talent but it is being squandered by the lack of a dedicated live music venue who regularly have bands on,â€? local musician and sound engineer Jake Mannik said. Local bands say they face further obstacles when they do secure some local stages, having to fork out for a sound engineer and security if none are already provided at the venue. For

as â€˜Indi expatsâ€™, had full knowledge of the fraudulent conduct and even encouraged it. No evidence has been put forward that Ms McGowan knew of this conduct. Ms McGowanâ€™s media adviser has stated that she will not be making further comments on the incident at this stage. Meanwhile, Voices 4 Indi president Alana Johnson said the group had not yet been contacted by the AEC and denied endorsing fraudulent voting. She further outlined concern that the investigation could deter young voters from heading to the polls. â€œWe only know what weâ€™ve read in the paper, weâ€™ve not had any contact from the AEC,â€? Ms Johnson said. â€œMany rural young people leave home to study, travel and work, they are often transient and their family home remains their permanent address. If young peopleâ€™s place of enrolment is an issue for Indi, then it is an issue for rural electorates across the country. â€œAny clarification and improvement the AEC can make to the enrolment process that encourages and helps young people to be involved will be welcomed.â€? Meanwhile, the AEC was unable to outline the consequences for Ms McGowanâ€™s political future if the investigation ruled her campaigners submitted fake votes, but said findings would be released shortly. Acting Electoral Commissioner Tom Roger, who was last week tasked with examining enrolment details, said he was taking the matter very seriously â€œI have asked for the AEC examination to be given the highest priority,â€? he said. â€œThese investigations are continuing at the present time. Once the task is completed - which I expect to be soon - if there is any doubt at all regarding the enrolments, I will take further steps, including, if necessary, referral to the AFP.â€?

INDEPENDENT Member for Indi Cathy McGowan says she fully supports an investigation into electoral fraud after claims many Indi voters in the 2013 Federal Election supplied incorrect residential details. While Ms McGowan stated earlier this week that she had not yet been contacted by the Australian Electoral Commission, she highlighted in a public statement that she welcomed any queries they might have. She first heard of the allegations on Friday. â€œItâ€™s important the Australian people have the utmost confidence in the AEC and electoral process and I know they will undertake an extensive and professional investigation,â€? Ms McGowan said. â€œBut we must be mindful these are allegations, so letâ€™s wait and see the results before making a judgement.â€? Ms McGowan won the seat of Indi in a surprise 439-vote win over Liberal candidate Sophie Mirabella last September through a strong grassroots campaign known as Voices 4 Indi. It is now believed many voters were no longer living in the area at the time of election. The AECâ€™s new integrity unit is reportedly investigating over 20 potentially fraudulent enrolments by McGowan supporters, whose Indi enrolment addresses fail to correspond with their home addresses in other seats, previous enrolment information, and social media information such as on Facebook and LinkedIn. Ms McGowan agrees that the unlawful declarations should be fully investigated. â€œAn enrolment is a declaration made by an individual to the AEC and it is up to the individual to ensure it is accurate and lawful,â€? she said. Allegations have surfaced that McGowan campaign workers, referred to

Just one owner since the ’70s THIS immaculately presented home has been occupied by the same owners since it was built in 1978.

A sensible settlement Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

THE excitement of placing an offer on your ideal home also brings with it all the nerves and anticipation of the next important step in the process: settling the contract of sale in time to ensure the property becomes yours. If your dream purchase was an impulsive one, the chances are that, in order to pay for it, you need to arrange the prompt sale of your current home or an investment property. Although buying and selling fast can be stressful, this can be averted if you’re organised - and act quickly. Negotiating the longest possible settlement period on your new property before signing the contract - preferably even before bidding or submitting an offer - will give you extra time to organise your financing and other arrangements. Ask the vendor’s agent about the maximum settlement. Even if the contract says 30 or 60 days, the vendor may be willing to extend - particularly if you make an attractive offer that is worth the wait. A 90-day or even 120-day settlement period on your new purchase can provide some assurance and peace of mind when it comes to preparing and selling your current property. If your own settlement is restricted to 30 days, this can reduce the pool of potential buyers. Choose your agent, ideally by interviewing several. But time is of the essence so if friends or family have been happy with an agent or local word-of-mouth is good, make your choice and start planning. Your agent can advise you on the urgent tasks required for selling your property within a specific

$239,500

9 Higginson Court, West Wodonga timeframe. An agent with extensive contacts and a comprehensive database of interested buyers in the area may even sell your property before marketing it. Have your solicitor start immediately on your Section 32 vendor statement as you can’t sell without it. Most of all, remember to stay calm and focused. If your house does not sell quickly through private sale or at auction, hold your nerve and take your agent’s advice. The good news is that the market is still solid and regional Victoria has performed well over the past 12 months, demonstrating consistent growth. And with interest rates currently steady, quality properties in towns with good regional services will remain in demand with prospective buyers.

A spacious lounge area, with plenty of views out onto the neighbourhood, offers a relaxing and comfortable space for you and the family to relax in. This backs onto an open and modern kitchen, equipped with a large oven, four-top gas stove, a dishwasher, and a double sink.The spacious layout means you have an abundant amount of room to spread your wings as a culinary genius, whether just for you or while entertaining a large crowd.

Karts line up for the Rush THE Albury Wodonga Kart Club will be a hive of activity next month for the Gold Rush competition race. The 65-lap races, to be held 1-2 November will include Cadet and Rookie divisions as well as restricted and junior classes. The two-day event will feature a $10,000 prize pool and entries are now open. Racers from all around the region got in a final hit-out before the event with round eight of the club competition on 28 September and photographer Katie Hardman was on hand to capture the action.

Enter the dragons ALBURY Wodonga Warriors Dragon Boat Club is only in its third season, yet it didn’t take long for its team members to start paddling their way to success. Chloe Gear has been named in the Australian Aurora’s Youth Squad to compete in Wellend, Canada next year. Chloe, 18, earned her spot through a lot of hard work when earlier this year, she completed fitness trials and attended an intense three-day boot camp in Sydney up against youth from across Australia. It all paid off when she was named in the squad just last week. The achievement is even more astounding, with Chloe only taking up a paddle in the sport 18 months ago. Albury Wodonga Dragon Boat Club president Sandy Nickels said it was great to see a local team member doing so well in the sport. “This is a very exciting time for the Warriors and we’re now seeking new members and sponsorship to grow the club in all age groups more into a competitive sporting team representing Albury Wodonga,” she said.

Chloe Gear will be competing in Canada next year as part of the Australian Youth Squad for dragon boating. 128555 Picture: CONTRIBUTED Dragon boat racing is the fastest growing sport in Australia. The Warriors team was formed in September 2012 as a competitive dragon boat sporting club with its main focus to compete on a state, national and international level. Ms Nickels said their goal was quickly being fulfilled thanks to young achievers like Chloe.

Bended Elbows’ legs are pumping By ERIN SOMERVILLE ALBURY has taken its first pedal towards a new era for cycling, with the newly-launched Bended Elbow Cycling Team ready to put Albury on the biking map. The Masters and Development racing team plan to use experienced riders to help develop young cyclists to race at a national level. “We want to develop new riders and promote the Border region as a place to enjoy cycling,” said team member Craig McMillan, who has been a driving force behind the establishment of the team, and a former New Zealand junior national champion. “Here is one of the best places to ride a bike - there’s good weather, good roads, and a variety of terrain, it’s close to the Alps, and you can ride in any direction.” The squad consists of five Development Riders, and eight Masters, with the younger riders already showing discipline and determination to succeed. “They are really disciplined and dedicated,” Mr McMillan said. “They are riding every day, some are doing 600-800kms a week.” Wodonga’s professional cyclist Taryn Heather said it was great to see the team formed on the Border. “Where we are is perfect for training,” she said.

The Bended Elbow Cycling Team look to an exciting future. 128598 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE “It is both flat and hilly, and the team has good experience and knowledge.” The team welcomes new members, and is encouraging interested female cyclists to join. As the cycling season kicks off, the Bended Elbow Cycling Team already has a big few months ahead. “In the first 12 months our development riders will race at the Australian

Road Championships, compete as a team in their first National Road Series Races and support local events,” Mr McMillan said. “On the Masters side we will promote the lifestyle and friendly competitive side of our sport, encouraging cyclists to visit and new people to start riding.” Those interested in joining can visit www.AlburyCycling.com

Local Sport Albury on basketball map ALBURY has cemented its place as an Australian basketball hotspot with the success of the Under 14s National Boys Basketball Club Championships proving a major feat last week. In its inaugural year hosting the event, Albury lured around 1000 visitors to the city as 24 teams from as far as Darwin, Cairns, and Tasmania took part in the competition. Albury mayor Kevin Mack said the event was a boost for local sport and the

local economy. "The Lauren Jackson Sports Centre is recognised as one of the best facilities for large sporting carnivals," he said. "This event will be a great showcase for the centre, but also the city of Albury." The hotly contested tournament was won by Albury after council prepared a joint submission with the Albury Basketball Association in a bid to attract the event to the city. “We work really hard to attract major

sporting events to Albury and this certainly adds to the fantastic sporting fixture we have here,” Cr Mack said. Albury is already the annual host of the Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup, one of the largest events on council’s sporting calendar. Albury Cougars Boys U14s did not place in the finals, but rose to the challenge to meet teams from across Australia, including Tasmania, Newcastle, southern Queensland, Canberra and Perth.
