Albury Wodonga’s largest circulating newspaper

No silent night here Tonight will be anything but silent. The sound of the approaching Christmas will be ringing through Albury this evening as the city stages Carols by Candlelight, one of its biggest events of the year. FOR ALL THE DETAILS, SEE OUR ENTERTAINMENT SECTION ON PAGE 12.

Time to get out

Belinda Dobson and Frankie Dobson enjoy Wodonga’s Carols by Candlight as the Border prepares for the holiday season. 132533 PIcture: ADAM WILSON

By ERIN SOMERVILLE FUNCTIONING on just three hours sleep, West Wodonga resident Mel Corker was one of many who spent time yesterday afternoon standing in the streets and watching a 170-hectare grass fire head towards her home. “We packed last night (Monday night) and are ready to go,” she said. “We’ve been following on the CFA app. “We took a few Christmas presents, birth certificates, photos, and laptops.” Ms Corker said her neighbours around Murray Way had also been busy preparing their fire action plan. “We knew it was always a risk, and council never mows around here.” At time of printing, the fire was not under control as was travelling slowly in a easterly direction from Black Range Road towards West Wodonga and was predicted to potentially impact homes and business by 4pm yesterday afternoon. Wodonga police and SES were yesterday doorknocking residences on Plunketts and Coyles Road to advise of the threat. The fire was being attacked by around 100 CFA firefight-

A smouldering trail left behind in yesterday afternoon’s 170 hectare fire. 132605 ers, who were being supported by aircraft including an aircrane and the Hercules from Avalon. “It’s hard, rough, and dirty country,” CFA Incident Controller Graham Healy said. “We are worried about (firefighters’) safety and performance, and keeping up their hydration.” Mr Healy said the weather would play a large role in determining the fire’s outcome. “We are confident but not happy,” he said. “This fire is very weather dependent, we are going to try

and let it not drive our reaction.” He said the firefighters on the ground also hoped air support would help ease the pressure on them below. A watch and alert act was issued by the CFA for the area around 10pm Monday night. The fire began about six kilometres of Black Range Road around 3pm Monday following a lightning strike. A fire weather warning had been issued by the Bureau of Meteorology yesterday with hot and windy conditions predicted to reach up to 95km/h.

All the joy of the season THE Christmas spirit has hit the Border, and thousands of residents have started coming out in droves to celebrate the holiday. Wodonga’s Carols by Can-

delight was a major success in kicking off the festivities, with a 5000-strong crowd turning Birallee Park into a night of family fun. Organisers were delighted

with the temporary venue, and managed to also raise some much-needed funds for a local cause. See all the details and pictures on Page 11.

Laura Grealy: I can’t help but feel that, yet again, our justice system has let us down. Why was a known criminal free walking the streets to commit this horrendous act? Why was he not in prison so the rest of Australia and these innocent hostages were protected from him? Although it is now clear this was an isolated act, and not so much a terrorist attack, I don’t think we can help but let it change us, but I hope we change for the better. Let’s not start racial wars, but let’s band together with our brothers, whatever culture they may be and loudly and clearly let the rest of the world know that Australia will not accept these sort of acts. I hope we bounce back stronger than ever as a country.

1168041-KC51-14

Tracey Echelon Cunningham: I think the last thing we need to do as a country is change, if we do the terrorists win. We don’t need to become another gun toting America. Nikole Nock: I think our justice system has let these families down and Australia. It’s not good enough. I feel so sad for all involved. As far as the gunman, he doesn’t deserve the media coverage he is getting. Nicole Bond: Hopefully, make the justice system more harsh as with this coward’s crimes he should have been rotting in jail not on the streets. Also, the Australian government and people should stop sticking their heads in the sand and saying it won’t happen to us. It clearly can and I’m sure it will again.

It’s blood ties for Christmas THE Albury Blood Service is concerned that most Border locals will take an extended holiday this festive season leading to a major drop-off in platelets, the shortestlived blood product that is critical in the treatment of cancer patients. Donations are expected to be most needed between 23 December and 3 January, which is predicted to be when stocks could hit a low. Albury needs more than 50 donors to give blood this Christmas and new year to secure blood stocks for cancer patients over the festive season. Albury Wodonga blood donors are able to respond to the call at any time by calling 13 14 95 to make an appointment to give blood. “Blood is the perfect gift to give this Christmas and new year,” Albury Donor Centre spokesperson Cathy Chapman said. “We know Australians are very generous so we’re hoping they’ll roll up their sleeves and answer the call at this time of need. “Your donation will help cancer patients to recover from their intensive treatments which often reduce the body’s ability to generate platelets.” Platelets are the most difficult product for the Red Cross to collect, having a shelf life of only five days. Without these donations Australia risks running very low on

Answering the call

New cops on the beat ALBURY Local Area Command has welcomed two new police officers on their first official day of duty at Albury as Probationary Constables. The recruits, who were welcomed Monday, were two of 313 recruits to be sworn in at the Attestation ceremony of ‘Class 323’ at the NSW Police Academy in Goulburn last week. Albury Local Area Commander, Superintendent Stirton said the officers’ first day was only the first of many milestones in a challenging, yet rewarding career. “These recruits have shown great dedication and spirit to pass the requirements of the course at the Police Academy, and I’m sure they will approach the next phase of their career with the same enthusiasm,” Superintendent Stirton said. “On the job can be daunting, but Albury is a great community and we are excited to have these officers join our ranks.”

By ERIN SOMERVILLE FOR some, Christmas can be one of the most difficult times of all. Between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day, 18,000 calls will be made to Lifeline from Australians struggling over the holiday period. Relationship difficulties, excess alcohol consumption, and financial woes are all triggers for a wave of depression, stress, and anxiety often felt around this time of year. Border residents are not immune to the issue. “We have no particular group or demographic we have identified as being more at risk,” Lifeline Albury Wodonga manager Chris Pidd said. “It can affect all of us in any shape or form.” Lifeline, a crisis support and suicide prevention organisation, is helping Border residents, and other Australians, cope with Christmas is by making them set realistic expectations, and to connect with other people. “To feel on your own at Christmas time can be a terrible thing,” Mr Pidd said. “It’s important to be connected.” Lifeline’s latest annual report shows a steep climb in the number of telephone and online crisis support offered, almost doubling in the past five years. In the 2012 financial year, Lifeline helped 6000 people through their online crisis support chat system, compared to 32,000 in the 2014 financial year. Via telephone, the service helped 483,000 in 2012 compared to 735,000 in 2014. This number is expected to continue to rise.

Briefly

Lifeline Albury Wodonga manager Chris Pidd says Christmas can be a tough time for some. 132583 PIcture: ERIN SOMERVILLE “There are more people in crisis,” Mr Pidd said. “They are all affected by budget pressure, whether national or personal.” The organisation has also seen a sharp rise in calls this year following the release of the controversially tough national budget. “It has created uncertainty and caused stress.” Mr Pidd said an increased awareness of Lifeline’s services through media attention, as well as connecting with more young people online, had also been responsible for the increase. As more people turn to Lifeline at Christmas, and an increasing

RIGHT WINDOW

number of calls and online support expected in 2015, the service is always welcoming new volunteers. With the local service primarily supported through funds received

from the Lifeline Shop, Mr Pidd said there could never be enough volunteers for the cause. “We need more volunteers to answer more of these calls.”

Tips for relieving the stress of Christmas: that is it common for people to feel stressed at this time of · Understand year; · Try not to expect too much or perfection; · Limit alcohol; · If you feel down, tell someone, like a trusted friend, GP, or Lifeline; · Look after yourself physically; · Plan ahead where possible to deal with stressful situations; · Know your limits and listen to your emotions; are too tough financially, make time to sit down as a family and · Ifplantimes a reasonable Christmas.

Making merry over luncheon By ERIN SOMERVILLE AT times like Christmas, it’s comforting to know so many local people care. For many who will be facing Christmas alone this year, or simply feeling the strain, Wodonga UnitingCare has rallied together to ensure local residents and families can make 25 December a joyous occasion. Their free community Christmas lunch has been operating for 12 years, and is an afternoon full of smiles, laughter, and company on a day when being alone can be a very difficult. “Being along at Christmas can be very lonely and isolating,” Wodonga UnitingCare food store co-ordinator Pam Adams said. “You go into shops and everything is about Christmas. “Some people on their own don’t even get a gift.” The Christmas lunch not only gives residents a chance to enjoy a hot traditional Christmas meal and pudding, and free transport to and from the event, but also meet new people. “It’s never quiet,” Ms Adams said. The Christmas lunch comes on top of the extensive work UntingCare carries out

Wodonga UnitingCare manager Richard Franklin, food store co-ordinator Pam Adams, and (back) marketing and fund-raising co-ordinator Alison Reed stock up for Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE Christmas 132577 all year to help local residents, including offering emergency counselling and food packages to people struggling to feed themselves and their families. Often, the organisation prepares up to 100 food packages, which contain staples such as cereal, fruit, quiche, soups, vegetables, dairy, and frozen meals from the on-site cooking sessions, each week. Residents are increasingly finding themselves in challenging financial situations as a result of the times. “More and more have lost their jobs,” Ms Adams said.

“We are also getting a lot of older people, and there never used to be. “There are a lot of single mums, and more single dads. “It’s a real mixture, people are feeling the pinch.” The Christmas lunch is rewarding for all, with volunteers regularly having to be turned away due to the sheer amount of generosity offered during the festive season. “It is the true meaning of Christmas sharing not your material wealth but your life and own time, and doing it willingly.

“You go home and appreciate what you have.” UnitingCare Wodonga is also helping run a gift appeal with Target, which is another annual project it holds to help those in need at Christmas. Many Border schools have donated gifts to the effort to ensure children receive a present on Christmas. Other residents have given their own time to create handmade toys, such as knitted dolls. While Wodonga and District Christmas gift appeal co-ordinator Susan Cheetham said gift numbers were down this year, she reminded residents it isn’t too late to give, with toy donations still accepted up until today (Wednesday 17 December), especially board games. She said the presents are very gratefully received by families who would never be able to afford it. “Some people cry, everyone is incredibly grateful. “They just could never afford it. “It’s an amazing thing to do as a volunteer.” If you or you family are alone this Christmas, or you want information on the gift appeal, phone UnitingCare Wodonga on 02 6024 2108.

Dianne Charge with her two photographic books of the region. 132449 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE

Pretty as a picture By ERIN SOMERVILLE WHEN Wodonga resident Dianne Charge fist picked up her small Lumix camera to take some pictures of her home for Russian relatives, she never expected it would lead to becoming a published photographer. “It all came about by mistakes,” she said. “My son married a Russian girl and I put together a photobook to send over to her friends and relatives and show where we lived.” After Ms Charge had her book for her Russian relatives published, she took a copy into the Albury Visitor Information Centre as a gesture of thanks for their assistance with maps used for the project. “They said it was rather nice and they didn’t have any photographic books of the region.” It didn’t take long for Ms Charge’s book to become a popular-selling item at the centre. With her first 2013 book ‘A Photographic Journey of Albury Wodonga’ having sold out, Ms

Charge decided to showcase further reaching areas in the sequel ‘A Photographic Journey of North East Victoria.’ The latest book, published in October, features a diverse number of towns, villages, and landmarks such as Mitta Mitta, Mount Buffalo, Beechworth, Bonegilla, and Corowa. It took around six months to travel to the locations and take the perfect snap. Despite two photographic books to her name, Ms Charge still refuses to call herself a photographer. “I’m no professional photographer, I call myself a lady that takes photos.” Ms Charges was determined her project contained no advertising and was done her way. To achieve this, she bought and learned the basic ropes of Photoshop, and learnt some simple photographic principles and tricks. Ms Charge’s book can be found at the Visitor Information Centre, newsagents, and Dymocks.

Camp leads to careers By ERIN SOMERVILLE “IT HAS made an impact and makes me want to finish Year 12.” It was positive responses such as this one from Murray High School student Chelsea Smith that made this year’s Danygamalanha Career Links Girls Camp worth it. The camp brought Aboriginal girls from Albury, Wagga, and north-east Victoria to the CSU Thurgoona campus to experience higher education first-hand. Year 7-10 students stayed overnight in CSU accommodation as they spent two days with university staff, community members, and Elders exploring education across

By ERIN SOMERVILLE NEW Year’s Eve is set to go off with a bang in Wodonga, as preparations spark up for the annual Birallee Park fireworks display. The event, held by Wodonga Council and Wodonga Raiders Football and Netball Club, will provide families with a perfect night out to bring in 2015. “It’s just a really nice end to the year,” event organiser Nathan Wolter said. “It’s a nice way to say thank you and happy Christmas to the rate payers.” Last year, the event attracted

6000 people, and organisers are expecting this year’s event to be even bigger following positive reports last year. “It just gets bigger and bigger every year. “It’s a very family orientated event.” The fireworks display will begin at dark, allowing parents and children to be home well before midnight. Mr Wolter said visitors would be in for a real treat, with a 10-minute long display. “It is probably one of the most spectacular firework displays you’ll see in your lifetime.”

The gates for the New Year’s fireworks display will open at 5pm, and carnival rides will begin operating at 6pm. A disco run by the entertaining DJ Steve Bowen for the younger children will also be guaranteed to have them bopping through the evening. The Raiders will be hosting a barbecue and selling alcoholic beverages, but patrons are reminded the event does not permit BYO. There will be plenty of parking available on the evening around Birallee Park. Entry is free.

Silly season: avoid serious turn By ERIN SOMERVILLE IT might be the silly season for some, but it can all turn serious very quickly if residents aren’t fire smart this holiday period. Cars pulling off on the side of the road on to dry grass during a long trip, grinding and welding in some spare holiday time, and reckless fire practices while camping are all common and careless factors that contribute to fires attended by the RFS over the Christmas and New Year break. The holiday break falls in the middle of the bushfire danger period, which runs from November to March, meaning risk of bushfire is higher than usual. School holidays is often a busy time for the RFS, with children’s outdoor activities often ending up in smoke. “With kids on holidays, we tend to have a bit of an issue with motorbikes in long grass, particularly on small acreages, ” Southern Border RFS Inspector Marg Wehner said. “A lot of the time these motorbikes are just bush-bashing bikes, and not as wellmaintained as they could be.” Inspector Wehner said the RFS also regularly responded to fires caused by DIY proj-

ects at this time of year. “We get a fire caused by a grinder or welder every season. “With these spark-creating activities, people forget how far (the sparks) can travel.” Campers should also be aware that many sites have solid fuel bans, and there will be periods when fires or barbecues can’t be lit. Residents going away for holiday, particularly those on properties, should also ensure their home is protected against potential bushfires. “Most people have done so already during pre-season.” “People should make sure they have good breaks around their home if no one is there to defend it and they’re going to be away.” Meanwhile, Inspector Whener said there would be sufficient staff and volunteers on hand during the holiday season if fire did threaten the Southern Border region. To keep up-to-date on the daily Fire Danger Ratings this summer, and know what you can and can’t do, visit the RFS website at http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/, listen to your local emergency radio, or media.

It was all light on the night By ERIN SOMERVILLE ORGANISERS may have been apprehensive about the new venue, but anxiety quickly eased as Birallee Park filled with 5000 happy carollers on Sunday evening. The 39th annual Wodonga Carols by Candelight was a success, and around 1500 candles were sold to help the crowd create ambience and sing along to a range of performances, from traditional to modern carols by choirs, bands, and individual performers. In addition to a great night, Jake and Lachie Boschetti, and Phobie and Hamish Perini. Pictures: Adam Wilson $4500 was raised to help the rehabilitation centre at Albury WodonMatt ga Regional Health. Allan, Wodonga Carols co-ordinator Stacey Lindsay Hanchett said the event Boyce, was one thoroughly enjoyed by Ashleigh the local community. Allan “They come here with their and family,” he said. Dylan “In many instances three genQuinn. erations attend - what other event caters for three generations of their family!” While the 40th annual carols are scheduled to go ahead in Willow Park next year, Mr Hanchett said Birallee had been a great temporary venue and the committee would consider feedback before confirmation of next year’s venue. “Birallee was fantastic and many enjoyed that it was enclosed.” The 40th Wodonga Carols by Candlelight is planned for December 20, 2015.

When horrible hits the mark By ERIN SOMERVILLE JUDGING from the hundred or so people laughing around me at the premier, Horrible Bosses 2 has hit the mark. Fans of the first movie will be undoubtedly left with a sense of de ja vu as similar jokes and gags are rolled out, but loyals who enjoy the characters and relish a fun, cheap belly laugh at the film’s unsubtle jokes will feel content with the sequel. The film sees the brainier Nick, (Jason Bateman), the sleazy Kurt (Jason Sudeikis), and the witless Dale (Charlie Day) launch their unfortunately named company that specialises in showers. After spending all their money on production and then being screwed over by their investor, the trio embarks on an unfortunate series of misadventure to kidnap their investor’s smarmy son Rex (Chris Pine) for ransom. As predicted, the plan goes anything but accordingly, and the trio are left to escape their own mess before dealing with the serious consequences

of the law. The sequel sees the reprise of old faces, including Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, and Jamie Foxx, and welcomes Christoph Waltz, who is casually and calmly pure evil. The actors all bring their A-game to the film, and the lead trio bounce off each other effortless, but still there is a lack of freshness and develop-

ment among the cast and narrative. Some may say too much of a good thing doesn’t work, but in a season of over-indulgence why not savour a little more of your beloved Horrible Bosses characters and gags. It may be low-brow and unoriginal, but there are plenty of laughs and fun to keep you smiling out the cinema doors.

Enjoying the carols are Jeremy Roberts, Will Roberts, Ally Bowey, Ty Bowey and Daniel Herbert.

Real treat under candlelight By ERIN SOMERVILLE IF 13 is an unlucky number, Paul Gibbs certainly is not worried. Gearing up to take on the role for his 13th year as Albury’s Carols by Candleight musical director, Mr Gibbs said the city was in for a real treat when the carols take the stage tonight, Wednesday 17 December. “It’s great to be involved in a big project,” he said. "We’ve got new people making their debut who are really excited to take part in an event of this scale.” Performers have been spending weeks rehearsing their performances “to a tee.” Mr Gibbs said seasoned and new performers always enjoyed taking part in Albury’s largest community event.

“They get a rush of adrenaline no matter how many times they’ve performed, it’s such a polished show and they have the whole crowd singing along.” Earlier this year, it was announced the carols would be held at the Albury Tigers Football Ground due to refurbishment works being carried out at QEII Square. It is guaranteed to be anything but a silent night, with organisers expecting up to 12,000 people to attend. The Albury City Band will warm up the crowd from 6pm, while the show will begin at 7pm and finish at 9.30pm. Parking can be found at Noreuil Park, West End Plaza basement carpark that is open until 11pm, and streets surrounding the sports club.

Designated drop-off zones will be in Smollett Street opposite the Albury Botanic Gardens, Wodonga Place Southbound (opposite Albury Tigers Clubrooms), and Wodonga Place Northbound (adjacent to Hovell Tree Park). Entrance to the show is on Hume and Smollett streets. Entry and programs are free and candles cost $2 (all proceeds to be donated to charity) A huge range of food and drink vendors will be trading on-site. For those who can’t attend, carols will be broadcast live from 7pm on Radio 2AY. Limited reserved seating is available for persons with special needs. For bookings, call the Events Team on 02 6023 8196.

2 0 1 5 New Years Year’s Resolutions Fitness well boxed in WE’VE all heard about CrossFit, it’s the new buzz word in the fitness world where super fit athletes throw weights around - but CrossFit Albury Wodonga owner Kara Mackinnon says they run things a little differently. “We like to incorporate the whole health package. Being healthy isn’t just about exercise or just eating well, that’s why we encourage our athletes to move well, eat well and think well. Ms Mackinnon says technique has always been a priority with all movements performed at her box (aka gym). CrossFit has a range of exercises from cardio to barbell work including deadlifts and squats to gymnastic movements including pull ups and ring dips. “Some of these movements are quite complex and we work hard to teach our members to move safely. Ms Mackinnon also runs a development program for coaches to maintain high quality in her staff and their teaching abilities. Eating well is also encouraged, and the box regularly runs healthy eating challenges to educate clients on better eating habits. “During the last four-week challenge, most members lost between 3-6 percent body fat. “It’s a really amazing trans-

formation that people feel - they have more energy, they’re losing weight and they’re sleeping better. Ms Mackinnon says thinking well is also a big part of health. “Positivity is really important. We want people to feel like they

can come in here and be themselves, feel confident to have a go and have fun while doing it. “Everyone is welcoming, everyone cheers each other on and people often come in early just to hangout. “Our box has a great com-

munity and it’s not abnormal for us all to socialise outside of the gym.” If you want to know more or come in to see what CrossFit Albury Wodonga is about, contact Kara on 0422 569 255.

Alatalo Brothers take big step AFTER months of work on the plans and the interior details and finishes, Alatalo Brothers is almost ready to open a new display home at Thurgoona. Based in Albury-Wodonga with a building history spanning 30 years, Alatalo Brothers is synonymous with attention to detail, personalised service and quality workmanship and has a reputation as a progressive property developer. The company is family owned and operated and dedicated to providing quality homes and residential subdivisions throughout AlburyWodonga, Wagga Wagga and Shepparton. So it is hardly surprising that the company has been listening carefully and putting together a new house plan that suits local blocks and lifestyles. Alatalo sales manager Michelle Brown said the new display home, which is yet to be named, at Fairway Garden would be opened to the public in February. She said the new house would feature 22.7 squares of living and a total of 30 squares including the double garage, al fresco area and porch. The new house features four bedrooms and two living areas as well as

the outdoor eating area and garage. The house, which features a step up to the back living areas, has been designed to show how a sloping block can be used to its best advantage although, as with all Alatalo Brothers designs, it can be customised to suit homeowners and their blocks’ specific needs. The new house has been designed to be energy efficient and to make effective use of a 16-metre block but still deliver all of the things a family or a couple looking to downsize need. This includes plenty of that much- needed storage, such as a walk-in pantry and generous linen closets, and interesting features. And while it has been designed to be budget conscious, it has still been given plenty of style and panache by interior decorator Anni Alatalo who has been generous with the use of timber and used the elegance of Granite Transformation benches. The new house features plenty of innovations including the installation of the Enviro Nexus program which lets residents control not just lighting but opening and closing blinds

Alatalo Brothers are excited about the smart features being built into a new display home being unveiled to the public in February next year. remotely from their smart phone or tablet. Michelle said the new dis-

play house will allow visitors to see this system in action and how it can help them not just

with safety but with energy efficiency. She said that Alatalo Brothers staff were very excited

about this new display house and new design and couldn’t wait to unveil it to the public.

Alatalo Bros team would like to wish all their valued clients and the community a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

WHEN your kids are demanding their own bedrooms, that old-fashioned kitchen is getting on your nerves or your house needs a major overhaul, a difficult decision awaits: to renovate or relocate. Renovating an existing home offers the chance to create the house you want in the location you know and like. It avoids upheavals such as changing children’s schools or settling into a new community. But the difficulties are obvious: the disruption, the need to temporarily rent or live in a building site, the expense and potential for cost overruns, the work involved in planning permissions, design and project management. Buying a new home may seem easier. But it brings its own challenges, not least of which is finding the ideal home in your preferred location. As well, it entails selling your existing home for the right price and co-ordinating moving from one to the other, preferably without renting in the interim. It’s a difficult choice, and one of those occasions when making a list of priorities can help. Start by asking yourself what you want most: is it to stay in your current location? Is it to live in a home which meets all your requirements and fulfils the wish list you have been compiling for all those years? If the answer is yes, ask yourself whether all the downsides of a major renovation - from potentially months with no kitchen and/or bathroom to choosing everything from light fittings to drawer handles - are

worth it to achieve your location and dream home goals. If you decide that the end result is worth it, start interviewing architects to obtain costs for your renovation and ensure that what you want is achievable with the funds you have. Thoroughly analyse your finances, including meeting with your bank manager and accountant, to ensure you can raise those funds, plus contingency. It is also time to talk to a local real estate agent to ensure you will not be overcapitalising your home. If the cost of your renovation will take the amount spent on your home above the ceiling price for homes in your area, it may be time to re-think. Even if you plan to stay longterm, assuming you will eventually be in profit, overcapitalising is not a good idea. Sometimes selling unexpectedly is necessary and if the house is overcapitalised, you may lose money. If you think the upheaval of a renovation is not justified, or you are undecided about it, an estate agent can help. Have your home appraised - is the amount it is likely to sell for enough to buy the home you want? What are the chances you will be able to buy the home you want in your desired area for the amount you will have? There are many important questions to be asked and considered. Weigh all the factors involved, decide your priorities, draw on the professionals for advice, and talk to friends and family who have renovated about what was involved.

Industry wants political voice THE desire to establish a political party to ensure that the profession has a strong voice in parliament is one of the major outcomes of the 2014 REINSW Industry Summit, held last week. REINSW president Malcolm Gunning said the event was a tremendous success, with attendees engaging in deep thought and discussion about the future of the industry. “There was a major focus on the need to lift standards in the profession,” Mr Gunning said.

“An overwhelming majority of participants felt that the only way to ensure that this happened was through partial self-regulation of the industry. “This proposal, with an emphasis on education and on-going training, was put forward to NSW Fair Trading Minister Matthew Mason-Cox in November. “It was also clear that if government is not prepared to work with us, our members would like to form a political party to pursue our goals. “Real estate’s place and importance for NSW should

not be played down or underestimated. Our profession is critical to the economy and it is time for this to be recognised. “We must ensure standards are lifted, and if this cannot be done through our elected representatives we will create our own political force,” Mr Gunning said. The REINSW Industry Summit took place on Thursday 27 November 2014 at the Rydges World Square, 389 Pitt Street, Sydney.

Not just a new name… but also a new look with new sections.

MOVE over Albury Tigers, there could be a new AFL team in town. No longer just a sport for the boys, a Come and Try Women’s AFL session was hosted by the Centre Active Recreation Network on Monday to help open the game up to both sexes. The come and try session has been initiated by Healthy Sporting Environments Program Co-ordinator Sally Rodgers to create a new opportunity in the North East for women wanting to try a new sport that is predominantly dominated by males. “There are some fantastic role models for women’s AFL in our region, such as Daisy Pearce and Darcy Vescio, who have proved that women can be successful in a less mainstream sport for women,” she said. “This is about getting females together, to have a kick, meet new people, have fun and potentially get a team together to represent the North East”. The Healthy Sporting Environments Program is funded through VicHealth and supports sporting clubs to become healthier, welcoming and more inclusive, focusing on six key health areas: responsible use of alcohol, UV protection, inclusion, safety and support, reducing tobacco use, healthy eating, and injury prevention

Golf goes grey on Murray A FIELD of 280 golfers took to the Thurgoona Country Club Course for this year’s 23rd annual Murray Grey Veteran Golfers Alatalo Brothers Senior Golf Classic. The mixed event attracted competitors from 15 clubs with golfers coming from as far away as Sydney and Camden as well as Mt Beauty, Wagga Wagga and Wangaratta for the prestigious event. Held on 17 and 18 November, the two-day 36-hole classic was again filled up quickly with organisers having to employ a waiting list for the fourth year in a row. Organiser and veterans

vice-president Peter Hamilton said they were very pleased with the support for the classic both on and off the course. He said local businesses had really got behind the event which was aimed at golfers 50 years and over. “We had just over 80 sponsors and had more than $6,600 in prizes,” he said. Hamilton said they had received a lot of support from Alatalo Brothers as well as Horizons Narooma, the Catholic Club Liverpool Sydney, Ibis Styles Albury Lake Hume Resort and all of the other businesses who had come on

board to help make this year’s event so successful. This year’s event included a large number of older golfers with 25 competitors taking part in the Super Vet Category for those over 75. “No names but our oldest competitor was a 91-year-old lady this year,” he said. “It was a very successful event with 120-130 people at the lunch and presentation on the Tuesday.” The event is the club’s biggest of the year, though they also run weekly competitions and run a highly successful juniors program as well.

Local Sport Brown leads Panthers charge By JAMES MCNEIL A MAIDEN first grade century to Nathan Brown has put Lavington Panthers in a strong position in their Cricket Albury Wodonga Round Nine match at home against New City. Brown, who opened the batting with the experienced Mick Howard (53) put on 108 for the opening wicket. A 104-run stand between captain Sam Harris (52) and Brown took the Panthers to 2/212 and put them in a commanding position. The Panthers then managed to finish the innings at 8/300 in what should be enough runs to play with in week two of this match. Hayden Wishart was the best of the New City bowlers taking 4/12 off 10 overs towards the end of the innings. Belvoir wicketkeeper Nat Sariman has scored 180 runs to assist Belvoir in ending day one at 5/356 at Kelly Park. Sariman was ably supported by Glen Vassallo (37) and Drew Cameron (101) to ensure Belvoir posted a strong first innings score. Sariman batted the duration of the innings to finish not out while Cameron’s innings was fast-paced and included 20 boundaries. For East Albury, Chris Bridle was the best of the bowlers with figures of 2/50 off 19 overs. Albury Titans have been bowled out for 146 by North Albury at Billson Park, with Jarryd Weeding top scoring with 31. Robert Hartnett was the destroyer with 3/47 off 19 overs while Matt Kirkwood and Daniel Athanitis took two wickets apiece and the hoppers effected two run outs. After being bowled out in 73.5 overs the Titans then had to bowl three overs at the end of the day. North Albury survived the tricky period with all 10 wickets remaining and 12 runs on the board. Albury will be looking to David Tassell and Brad Smith next week along with captain Kade Brown to take early wickets to be in with a chance. At Rowen Park, St Patricks have been bundled out for 118 in just 56.2 overs by an on-fire Tallangatta team. Thanks to the efforts of Josh Bousfield (3/25 off 17) and captain Matt Armstrong (3/21 off 11), the Bushies have all but wrapped up a win. Luke Restall was the best for St Pats with 25 while Dean Nicholson was the only other player to pass 20. Double centurion Torquil McKillop (37no) is still not out at the crease with Nicholas

Nat Sariman sends one towards the boundary. Wood (17no) as the Bushies pushed to 1/66 after 20 overs. In the battle of the Wodonga sides, the Bulldogs took the upper hand on Saturday at Les Cheesley Oval. Batting first, Wodonga Raiders managed to scrape their way out of early trouble to make 105 from their 48 overs with Kori Stevenson top scoring with 23. Brendan Klein-Boonschate was the best with the ball taking 5/31 off 17 overs while Beau Kennedy returned figures of 4/28 off 15. In reply, the Bulldogs have already passed Wodonga Raiders score at 2/120 overnight. The Bulldogs will be giving themselves the best chance of winning outright in week two. However, whether they continue to bat on and compile an unassailable lead or declare overnight remains to be seen. In representative cricket, the CAW senior side has been bundled out of the SCG cup. Batting first on a nice wicket at Strathmerton, the CAW stars posted 225 with Drew Cameron (74) the best and Aleem Mahmood (36) and Mount Beauty’s Ashan Ranaweera (29) upping the run rate late in the innings. Luke Carter scored 57 for Murray Valley as they chased the total down in the second last over. The U/23 CAW side has a strong win over Mudgee at Yass to keep their season alive.

Adding to the velodrome’s rich history, Australia’s famous Sun Tour stage race finished a stage in Lavington in 1973, with the following stage held on the velodrome, before riding to Bright. With these credentials, it was only a matter of time before the cyclists on the Border put efforts into returning local cycling to the spotlight. Today, the sport of track cycling is enjoying a resurgence, with the region's premier event, The Carevan Lavington Track Carnival, held on

Saturday night. The event witnessed the continued revival, now in its fifth year, of this great Border sporting tradition, the Lavington Square 2000m Wheel Race. With a strong field competing through the heats to qualify for the final, race tactics demanded scoring a qualifying spot while conserving energy for the final. As each rider is allocated a handicapped start distance, the field often comes together in the closing metres, ensuring exciting racing. In the final The Full Cycles, Stephen Kilpatrick claimed the win, working hard from the back marks with a classy display of speed and patience. An event building its own history is the Bill Washington Memorial Aces raced over 7500m. As an endurance track event, the mix

of speed, strength and stamina is key, so it was no surprise to see form rider Brendan Washington secure his second win in the event which honours his father. One of cycling’s personalities on the Border and event organiser, Brendan worked tirelessly on and off the bike throughout the carnival. While others had the benefit of recovering between races, Brendan spent his time off the bike ensuring everyone’s night ran smoothly and the large spectator crowd had non-stop entertainment. The future success of any sport is measured by its junior program, and based on the quality of junior fields in the event, the future of cycling is solid.
