Arson crackdown By ERIN SOMERVILLE BORDER residents are being encouraged to dob in a firebug this summer as local action ramps up to tackle the growing arson problem. Up to 50 offences of arson have been committed in the North East in the past financial year, while a further 89 fires have been attributed to reckless behaviour. Police and firefighters have had enough of the needless stress reckless fires are putting on their resources, while also endangering property and even lives. “It’s very frustrating, especially this time of year,” Wodonga CFA Station Officer Andrew Schulz said. He emphasised many of the volunteers who attend these recklessly lit fires are also taking time out of their jobs and livelihoods. Victoria Police and Crime Stoppers are now leading the charge across the state to help extinguish arson activity. The Crime Stoppers Bushfire Arson campaign that was developed in response to the Black Saturday fires in 2009 seeks support from the community in capturing arsonists, and has seen nearly a 300 per cent rise in
community reports regarding bushfire arson and reckless fires since it started. The confidential system encourages the community to report suspicious activity, which may include seeing unfamiliar cars, camping, grinding and welding, bushwalking, and children playing at areas where bushfires have started. Police are reminding the public that arson and reckless fire activity can carry heavy penalties, including large fines and even jail time. Campers are also being encouraged to take care with fire activity as they head bush this summer to avoid becoming unintentional firebugs. “Three quarters of the fires in national parks are human error or malicious,” Ovens Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Jarrod Hayse said. “(Campers) need to figure out whether they really need a camp fire if camping.” If you think you have information about someone in your community who is deliberately lighting fires or engaging in reckless fire behaviour call Crime Stopper on 1800 333 000, or report securely online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au DELP Ovens Jarrod Hayse, Wodonga firefighter Andrew Schulz, Crime Stoppers Community manager Victoria Peter Brown and Victoria Police Inspector Haydn Downes tackle the burning issue. 134017 Pictuer: ERIN SOMERVILLE

Some brushing up on the first day FOR many children on the Border, starting school for 2015 was a nervous, exciting, and down-right tiring experience. Many new-starters were focused on making friends and learning how
to deal without parents just as much as learning how to read and write. As school doors opened on the Border last week for Term One, the Albury Wodonga News Weekly was there to capture the emotions and excitement
of many young ones starting their first day. Turn to Page 4 to see what young students on the Border loved about their first day of school.

Daniel wakes up to dream village Wodonga mayor Rodney Wangman, Wodonga Manager of Social and Service Planning Debbie Mackinlay, Felltimber committee members David Robinson, Margaret Crisp and Ian Elston, and former Member for Indi and Benambra Lou Lieberman celebrate the centre's 21st Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE birthday. 133823
By MONIQUE KUZEFF
Felltimber turns 21 portunity to move forward and look at how to work as a community centre,� Felltimber Advisory Committee member Margaret Crisp said. “It ebbs and flows, the strength of the community centre, and we have to look forward now to how to get the most out of this great building.� Seeing how far the small community centre has developed since 1994 is something Wodonga City Council’s Community Centres Co-ordinator Lynda Paterson took in during Thursday’s celebrations. “They (the community) love it,� she said. “It integrates the mutlicultural, the youth, and the older demographic. “We are constantly consulting with the community to see their needs and how to better meet them, and provide a facility that’s welcoming.� Celebrations included a showcase of community groups and organisations that run courses from the centre, while three active contributors to the centre were also recognised. Debbie MacKinlay was praised by council for her dedication in previously managing the centre, while David Robinson and Barb Stieber were recognised for their many years of service on the advisory committee.

The village Daniel Kuzeff has helped establish on the island of Bantayan. Philippines I came to a realisation of the advantageous circumstance I have here in Australia and this made me more appreciative of my privileges.“ After learning about goal visualisation, Mr Kuzeff took on the idea and set up a goal board of his own where he pinned two photos of the Filipino children and of Roxanne on it. “I realised that I wanted to help people and quickly became determined to build a village,“ he said. Without any resources or knowledge of how to launch his vision, Mr Kuzeff said the best thing he thought he could do was to go out and ask people. With supportive advice from both friends and professionals, he came up with an idea to raise funds by work-
ing 18 months for free in the Albury’s Bended Elbow hotel where he could get his wage doubled and directed to the project. During his mission to achieve the construction of the village, Mr Kuzeff said he was posed with some obstacles and ordeals which he had to overcome. “It’s not always going to be a direct route when trying to achieve your goals,“ he said. “You need to have a burning desire which drives you to overcome any obstacles and not just quit." Mr Kuzeff said his advice for young entrepreneurials out there is to not to fear that your dream is unreachable. “You must never give up, never ever give up.“

Belinda Christine Worrall: No way, spend the money on things that need fixing. I hope they are not those ridiculous metal sculptures they put in, spend less on it than a million dollars.
Are you happy that Wodonga council is looking to spend up to $1 million on art for High Street? Kaali Huddleston: Bit much isn’t it?

FEW 21st birthdays have been more eagerly celebrated in Wodonga than that of the city’s Felltimber Community Centre. Marking the milestone on Thursday, celebrations continued throughout the day as locals took the time to look back over the journey in creating the community’s beloved precinct. From its humble beginnings as then-Willow Park Neighbourhood House, the centre has flourished into a modern building to accommodate a children’s centre, meeting rooms, and multi-purpose space for youth activities, exercise, art classes, and a toy library. Last year, Felltimber received an $850,000 refurbishment from the Victorian Government and Wodonga Council to increase the kindergarten capacity at the children’s centre and create additional meeting rooms. Former Member for Benambra and Indi Lou Lieberman was there to celebrate the milestone after he opened the centre 21 years ago, and was able to see how far the centre had developed in two decades. Those involved with the centre say its future looks bright. “The renovations give a huge op-

“DON’T just live a life, create one!� Founder of Our Connection and Border local Daniel Kuzeff lives by these words and has been doing so since he planted the seed of his dream to build a village abroad. It has been a long journey for Mr Kuzeff but, nonetheless, a journey that has been worthwhile, which has seen 40 poverty stricken families in the Philippines now having a place to call home, thanks to his entrepreneurial initiative. Throughout his teenage years, Mr Kuzeff gradually developed a determination to help those who were less fortunate than himself and through hard work, passion and commitment his vision flourished into a reality. “I found something that made me happy and that I truly enjoyed doing,� Mr Kuzeff said. “I had a burning desire to actually complete my goal and so nothing was going to diminish it. “As much as you want to breathe air, you’ve got to want to complete your goals.� Mr Kuzeff’s goal was sparked by a chain of events that lead him on a trip to the Philippines. While there he was inspired by the children and particularly a young woman named Roxanne who worked in a small, dingy bar and sacrificed her dream of an education to help her mother look after their family. “She told me her sad story and this made me want to help her live her dream,� he said. “When I came back from my trip to

Go-ahead for rail hub plan By ERIN SOMERVILLE WODONGA’S Logic rail hub has been given full steam ahead after the city’s council last week voted to sell off a 30-hectare parcel of its industrial land for the project. Councillors argued at last Wednesday’s special meeting that the move would help reduce the city’s debt and create further employment opportunities in the area. The sale to Blanalko Pty Ltd, the property arm of SCT Logistics, will see the freight terminal privately built at Logic- Wodonga’s manufacturing, transport, and logistics precinct 14kms west of the city. The private Logic development will see the creation of an integrated freight hub on the site. It is expected to inject over $19 million into the local economy during its construction phase, while the finished terminal will create 118 full time employment positions and 93 indirect jobs. Council will be offering a rates concession on the industrial land to attract and secure the investment. Although council won’t reveal the price of the land sale in the name of commercial confidentiality, it confirmed the land was sold for equal or above valuation. The motion to sell the land was moved by Councillors Michael Fraser and Lisa Mahood, stating the development would be of benefit to the local economy and council’s financial position. “This is a multi-generational opportunity,” Cr Mahood said. “It will further economic development, opportunities, and employment for generations to come.” Support for the land sale included that of the Member for Indi, Towong and Indigo Shires, Border Express, and FarmTech Machinery. The Ettamogah Rail Hub voiced its opposition to the Wodonga development, arguing there was no need for a new rail hub “because there is already a fully operational rail terminal with plenty of capacity in the same eco-

NOREUIL Park may be a far cry from the glitz of Bondi Rescue, but that hasn’t stopped its grassy banks turning into a lifesaving hub. This week over 1000 students living along the Murray and around the Border are learning the importance of water safety as part of an initiative from Life Saving Victoria. The initiative, Open Water Learning Experience, has seen lifesaving volunteers visit inland waterways to show locals how to enjoy the water safely and prepare for an emergency. The program is all about keeping people safe as they enjoy the river this summer, said Life Saving Victoria Education Team leader Jess Stewart. “The currents are changing day

and night,” she said. “There is a lot of media about rips and currents at the beaches, but not as much focus on rivers and floodways.” The program activities include survival and rescue strategies, safe body boarding, and preventative measures. The program will also benefit the city’s multicultural population, who undertook lessons at Noreuil Park on Monday evening. The opportunity is vital to help prevent accidents in the river, and even death, Ms Stewart said. “The participants learn facts about the river that they’ve never known about before.” The program is also a chance for those with weaker swimming skills to learn how to be safe around the water.
Alcohol-fuelled violence in focus in town centre By ERIN SOMERVILLE ALBURY council has floated the idea of hosting a community forum to tackle alcohol-related violence following a string of assaults in the CBD. The suggestion came at Monday’s ordinary council meeting after
Cr David Thurley, who is a council representative on the local liquor accord, questioned AlburyCity’s stance on the issue. Cr Thurley said the issue of alcohol and violence in Albury was concerning ratepayers. “A community forum would help
create an informed opinion and informed approach to alcohol regulation in our community,“ he said. “I have been contacted by a few people about violence in Dean Street and alcohol in general.“ Cr Thurley said the issue also encompassed domestic violence, van-
dalism, and hooliganism. Mayor Kevin Mack and Councillor David Cameron supported the forum suggestion. Meanwhile, council is finalising Expression of Interest papers to gather pricing information on installing CCTV in the CBD.

All play, no work By MONIQUE KUZEFF STUDENTS across the region last week were both excited and anxious to welcome in their first school day of the new year. The first day at school is never too laborious, but rather a day of fun activities set up to help kids ease back into their school environment, become familiar with their new peers, and form new friendships. Indianna Watt, who is a second year preschool student at Scots Preschool in Albury, said her favourite thing about the first day back was the amount of play time she got to have with her friends and the new children she got to meet. “This morning we got to play outside and then we sang songs,” Indianna said. “I love playing dress-ups and being outside playing chasey and hide-and-seek with my friends.” Students spent their first day playing with puzzles and toys, singing, dancing and even getting creative with the paints and playdough. Scots Preschool director Belinda Cottrell said the most important thing was to make sure that the children were happy on their first day back. “We try to make it a comfortable and fun environment where they can get to know each other and become familiar with the surroundings,” Ms Cottrell said. “This morning we have had a bit of singing and a bit of morning tea.
Pollies battle over classrooms By ERIN SOMERVILLE
Belinda Smith, Brooke Sturgeon, and Scarlet Maloney. 133891 “There have been some very excited new children but also a couple of tears from some that were a little anxious earlier.” “We’ve got lots of activities organised for today to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves.” Now that school is back, drivers are being reminded about road safety and speeding in school zones. With school zone flashing lights now at every school in the Albury local government area, Member for Albury Greg Aplin is urging motorists to take particular care when driving in school zones. “School is back and we need motorists to slow down to 40km/h between 8am and 9.30am and from 2.30pm to 4pm on all gazetted school days,” Mr Aplin said.
Cecilia Burke and David Coventry. 133891 This year Wodonga Council is also bringing back the ‘SLOW, STOP, OBEY’ school crossing safety campaign, which targets drivers who drive negligently in school zones. Wodonga Council has also reported crossing supervisors witnessing many dangerous incidents that have come as the results of motorists speeding, talking on their mobile phones, and doing illegal U-
turns in school zones. Head of Scots Junior School Greg Newbold said the flashing lights were great for enhancing safety. “The lights makes drivers aware that there is a school and that it’s a school day,” Greg Newbold said. “If there are drivers around that are not always focused on the road, it makes them aware.”
DEMOUNTABLE classrooms could be diminished if the Labor Government gets its way in the NSW March election. As Term One at schools begin to ramp up, so too has the party’s policy to deliver $100 million in funding over a 10-year period to replace the demountable buildings with permanent classrooms. Labor candidate for Albury Ross Jackson said the move would see the demountables at Billabong High School, Corowa South Public School, Thurgoona Public School and Table Top Public School replaced. “They’re not standardised structures,” Mr Jackson said. “They were meant to be just there as temporary relief from school and dated back to when I was at school. “We must provide the best possible learning environment, including modern and permanent classrooms, to ensure our kids get the best education and start in life.” Mr Jackson said the replacement of the demountables with air-conditioned structures would be assessed according to the building’s age and numbers at each site. According to Labor, Billabong High School has had demountables for 19 years, Corowa South Public School for 12 years, and Thurgoona Public School for 13 years. The age of the Table Top Public School demountable buildings
Labor candidate for Albury Ross Jackson wants to see demountables in schools gone as part of his policy in the lead-up to the State Election. 134022 Picture: ADAM WILSON is undetermined. Mr Jackson said he was confident the Albury electorate would receive a fair slice of the promised package. The Member for Albury Greg Aplin said the Labor government already had the opportunity during its 16-year period leading NSW to replace the demountable structures, and that the state Liberal Government was now sufficiently addressing the issue. “We have been reducing the need for demountables, by funding an additional 694 permanent classrooms (in the state) in the last four years, and have committed almost $3.2 billion to school infrastructure and maintenance.” “We have a plan to inject $1 billion through Rebuilding NSW into the education sector - a package that will deliver around 1150 new permanent classrooms.”

Physios in demand By ERIN SOMERVILLE FORGET the sheep, 2015 is the year of the physiotherapist. With the medical course proving one of the most popular in the state, and also the hardest to get into with an ATAR cut-off at 99.95 at one Sydney university, Albury’s Charles Sturt University is enjoying being able to deliver such a desired course right here on the Border. Each year, CSU Albury takes in around 50 physiotherapy students. While the university won’t be changing the number of intakes or raising their ATAR to 99.95 despite this year’s high demand, CSU’s physiotherapy team has always quietly known the appeal of the course. “It’s been consistent for us and we’ve had consistently high interest,” said CSU School of Community Health Associate Professor Megan Smith, who has also been a physiotherapist for 25 years. “Being a physio is a great job. “People who want to help and are caring often choose it as a profession. Professor Smith said the media’s focus on the role of physiotherapists, particularly in sport, also encouraged people to explore the career. “The persona about physio is that it’s an exciting job. “A lot of students come in with that view.” The range of paths graduates can take after completing the degree is also an appealing aspect, from working in hospitals and rehabilitation, through to working with children, elderly, or sports stars. The University Admissions Centre has listed the ATAR for Charles Sturt University’s Physiotherapy course at 89.5, but Professor Smith said those passionate to undertake the degree should not be deterred. “It’s not a hard course to do but (the score) reflects the demand. “I think a lot of schools kids look at it and think I’ll never get the marks, but they can.
CSU Albury’s Professor Megan Smith is enjoying seeing physiotherapy’s popularity PIcture: ERIN SOMERVILLE remaining strong on the Border. 133887 “If people don’t get the marks there are other ways.” And with the university’s physiotherapy course remaining as popular as ever, that’s good news for regional health centres. “A lot of people who come here tend to be interested in rural health.
“There is the question of are we going to end up with too many physios, but with the ageing population there will be more jobs than ever.” Albury CSU will host its Orientation Week from 22 February.

Could be a game for many players AFTER reading your front page article entitled ‘Marriage Vow’, I confess, tongue in cheek, I find myself very distressed at the short-sightedness of our elected councillors. If the majority of our councillors are not happy, on the basis of ‘equality’, with the present definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman and voluntarily entered into for life, then what definition will satisfy them? Surely, just extending it to ‘one man and another man’ and ‘one woman and another woman’ isn’t enough, is it? Logic requires the application of ‘equality’ to all possibilities. Why stop at the replacement of the sex of those entering into this new definition? Why not replace ‘one’ with ‘one or more’? On the basis of ‘equality’ why not extend it to polygamists and polyandrists or even children? After all, you quote Councillor Lisa Mahoud as saying that she supports ‘equality for all religions, race, ages, sex and gender identities’. And just in case, on the basis of ‘equality’, we might have missed someone, why not dispose of a definition of marriage altogether? Then we can be rid of this idea
that marriage is ‘for life’, can’t we? I repeat, I write ‘tongue in cheek’. From a man who is in the 51st year of marriage according to the current definition, (Rev) E.N. Harvey, Wodonga.
Salvos say thanks ON BEHALF of The Salvation Army, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the local community for their support this Christmas. Thankyou to local businesses and members of the community who volunteered their time at Christmas lunches, collected donations or gave financially. Your generosity allowed us to assist 300,000 people over Christmas and share in more than 8,000 meals on Christmas Day with people in our community with nowhere to celebrate. This year Victorians also kindly donated 99,090 gifts to local Kmart stores as part of the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal. These gifts are distributed by The Salvation Army to help brighten the Christmas of individuals and families in need. Thank you for your ongoing support to allow The Salvation Army to do its work. Major Neil Venables, The Salvation Army.

Cold case call POLICE investigating a break and enter at a Mulwala club more than 10 years ago are renewing their appeal for public assistance by releasing an image of a person they believe has information to assist them. About 4.30am on Tuesday 13 April 2004, entry was forced through an exterior door into the club on Golf Club Road, Mulwala. It is thought the intruder or intruders were then disturbed by a security guard before they could force entry through another door which led into the main part of the club. Police believe the club was being targeted after trading across the 2004 Easter weekend.
Less than an hour later, a couple in their home nearby were awoken by a man who was soaking wet. The man fled the home and a search of the area by police failed to find him. Investigators are now releasing a photo of a person they believe can assist them with their inquiries into the incident, and are asking anyone who recognises him to come forward. Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Sun rises on solar savings THE council will install solar panel systems at six of its key buildings, saving an additional $56,000 per year and reducing its annual carbon emissions by 176 tonnes. Facilities including the Albury Airport, LibraryMuseum and Albury Entertainment Centre will receive photovoltaic solar systems ranging from 10 to 42 kilowatts. Albury City councillors agreed at their meeting on Monday to award the installation contract to Watters Electrical Pty Ltd. The company has an Albury branch and will be charged with overseeing the project which is valued at $242,939.
Mayor Kevin Mack said the initiative was a key component of the council’s Energy Savings Action Plan. “By embracing sustainable energy we are making a commitment to thinking globally and acting locally. “The long term cost saving and environment benefits of installing solar systems on our facilities cannot be ignored.” “We will be installing alternating current solar systems, which is the best option for safety, efficiency and monitoring. “Overall these systems generate an additional 45,000 kilowatts of energy each year and will save us an additional
$56,000 annually.” “But, more importantly, we will be further reducing our carbon emissions by 176 tonnes each year - the equivalent of removing 39 cars from the road. “As a council we have a responsibility to investigate better and more sustainable ways of doing business and this is a great initiative.” Council facilities to receive solar panels are LibraryMuseum, Albury Airport, Albury Entertainment Centre, Waterview Laboratory, Albury Family Day Care and Mirambeena Community Centre. A solar panel system was installed at the Banjora Children’s Centre in 2013.

The wide range of gluten-free options on the upcoming menu will include warm salads such as Asian or Caesar, toasties, soups, pasta, burgers, curries, steaks and sauces and even Monica’s renowned risottos.

Over 55’s... A pleasure to serve the public FOR the past 30 years, Sharon McMahon’s smile and positive attitude has been a favourite among staff and residents at Albury and District Private Nursing Home. As of Monday 26 January, which marked her three decade milestone with the facility, Ms McMahon was able to take time and reflect upon the years that have quickly passed. “It’s just an honour to be here,” she said. “My career has taught me empathy, understanding and compassion. I just thank Albury and District Nursing Home for the opportunity to make me the person people see me as today.” Ms McMahon first began working at the home on Australia Day 30 years ago,when she took on the role as kitchen hand for some extra cash while she was raising a family. From peeling spuds and washing dishes, she relieved cooking and kitchen duties for over 14 years before moving into the home’s
laundry and lifestyle departments. She spent 15 years in that role, before taking on the job of Lifestyle Assistant six months ago when the home moved location. Additionally, Ms McMahon spent 20 years heading up the fundraising committee at the David Street location. Ms McMahon has seen an evolution in the way aged care operates in the time she has been working in the sector, from protocols and procedures through to technology and facilities. As rewarding as the job was, Ms McMahon said there could be tough days in the tight-knit community. “The loss of a resident is hard”, she said. “We had a resident pass away 25 years ago and I still have contact with the family. We’re a real family!” After 30 years, Ms McMahon is still just as passionate about her role and is now completing a Bachelor of Social Services and Welfare through Charles Sturt University.

Over 55’s... New retirement standard
RETIREAUSTRALIA
“We’ve been really forward-thinking as a retirement village goes by trying to provide as many services as we can.” Murray Gardens and Gateway Health look forward to seeing their residents embrace the concept, with a podiatrist already conducting weekly visitations, followed by GP consultations in January.

THE trail-blazing team at Murray Gardens is setting a whole new standard of retirement living. The village now has its very own in-house doctors, setting a benchmark ahead of many others. The initiative has been a result of a committed and strong partnership between Murray Gardens and Gateway Health, and will enable residents to access a GP, nurse, and podiatrist once a week, without having to step foot outside the village. “This will empower people to take control of their healthcare,” Gateway Health Medical Practice manager Nicole MacDonald said. “It’s about better health outcomes at the end of the day.” The move comes with the help of Retire Australia, which has provided funds to help Murray Gardens transform two rooms into consultation spaces in the village’s community hall. The move will also bring on board other health practitioners to complement healthcare, such as diabetes educators, dieticians, counsellors, and a 75-plus health assessment, with visits bulk-billed and claimable on Medicare. With many residents unable to drive and relying on family members for lifts or unable to afford transport for regular consultations, the idea of having a doctor on their doorstep has been met with delight. “Residents think this is so convenient,” village co-manager Chiquita Walsh said. “This is not about replacing their GP, but providing an alternative. “I am really proud we have this great partnership with Gateway Health.

Over 55’s... Compassion and caring the key ALMOST three years since she became Mardross Gardens’ village manager, Anne Martin is incredibly proud of the sense of community she has fostered within the village. “The most important part of the job is being there for the residents,” Ms Martin said. “Whether the residents need my help getting around the village, arranging activities, or linking them to community services, I enjoy making their life better by helping with their needs. “Often, our residents just need a friendly ear, or a warm smile, and that makes all the difference.“Knowing that the residents really appreciate what I do I think that’s important, and it motivates me to make the community even better.” Mardross Gardens is an active rental retirement community with 37 residents between the ages of 55 and 95. “Our residents really enjoy Mardross Gardens’ rental retirement model. Instead of buying a property with large upfront expenses, residents sign a secure rental lease, offering them all the lifestyle and safety benefits of a retirement community, but with the increased flexibility to free up funds for things like holidays, or presents for the grandkids,” she said.

Pub at the heart of the community ESTABLISHED in 1886, the Violet Town Hotel has been an integral part of this small Victorian community for well over a century. After the original hotel was razed to the ground following a devastating fire in 1993, the hotel bounced back from the ashes just three years later and has continued to be a favourite with locals and visitors alike ever since. In November 2012, when current owner Gary Paxton took over the Violet Town Hotel, he extended trading hours, introduced a mouth-watering menu, and has since taken the business from strength to strength.
The hotel is a perfect stop to settle in for lunch from Thursday to Monday, or dinner any night of the week, and enjoy a frosty beer or delicious local wine. Whether you’re passing through, enjoying the renowned Violet Town market every second Saturday of the month, or simply looking for a satisfying day trip from the Border, this little gem is sure to satisfy. With the hotel open from 11am seven days a week, it’s no wonder this place is the beating heart of the community - both figuratively and literally. “We have the only automatic external defibrillator because we’re open all
the time,” Mr Paxton said. The hotel’s heart is also strongly in community with the business, proudly sponsoring local cricket, football and netball clubs, making it a true blue authentic country pub with great hospitality for all those who enter through its doors. “We’re very popular and we really get involved with the community.” The hotel has a lovely beer garden to soak up the warm summer days and evenings, and a TAB for those looking to have the occasional punt. It also is a great place to bed down
for the night, with the Violet Town Hotel offering three self-contained units for those looking to put their feet up and relax for a little longer. The units that can sleep up to six people come complete with a queensize bed, kitchen that features an oven and microwave, and even a spa bath. For an affordable $80 for a single, and $130 for a double, it makes for a perfect weekend away in the country. The Violet Town Hotel is never hard to get to, and is only a 90-minute drive from the Border and two hours from Melbourne. Best of all, it is right near
the Violet Town train stop or only one kilometre to the front from the Hume Freeway turn-off. Centrally located, it is perfect for family reunions, functions and meetings at the hotel’s private function room that holds up to 25 guests comfortably, and a family-friendly games room for the younger and more active crowd. For your next beer, meal and great night out, don’t look past the Violet Town Hotel. Visit www.violettownhotel.com.au for more information.

Young at art By MONIQUE KUZEFF EXTRA creativity, more music events, and even performances from national acts are just a few things that will come out of the $5000 grant recently awarded to local Retro Youth Team. The $5000 grant from MusicNSW will support local music and encourage youth to continue delivering their creativity and skills to the Border community. The grant will be a large benefit for the team, who have been waiting patiently for the re-opening of their hub, the Retro Youth Cafe. The Retro Youth Cafe has been relocated behind the LibraryMuseum and is
still currently under construction. The grant will go towards the production of the cafe’s opening and the Addicted to Acoustic event early this year. Retro Youth team leader Sophie Cochrane said the money was going to be very helpful when planning the two upcoming large scale events. “We’ll be planning Addicted to Acoustic really soon and that’s what a lot of the money will go towards,“ Ms Cochrane said. “With the cafe opening event, we are hoping it will be really big. “It will definitely involve a lot of planning and we hope to get a national
act that will draw people in. “We want to start generating news and basically just revving it up,“ she said. The Retro Youth Team has been a representative voice for young people throughout the community and involves a group of young creative minds between the ages of 12 to 20 who get together every week to plan and discuss gigs and events, gaining invaluable experience in event management and community development. “We get together on Thursdays for an hour after school and attempt to carry out delegated tasks during the meeting depending on how big it is,“

Doozy of a line-up By TANIA PHILLIPS THE countdown is on to the fourth annual Riverboats Music Festival, set to return to the banks of the Murray River at EchucaMoama from 13-15 February. The line-up is a doozy and includes Sarah Blasko, Dan Sultan, Tex Perkins and The Dark Horses, The Whitlams, The Bamboos, Adalita, Mick Harvey, Diesel, Fraser A. Gorman, Matt Walker and The Lost Ragas, Sal Kimber and The Rollin’ Wheel,
Stella Angelico and Raised by Eagles. “We are so excited to be bringing this spectacular line-up to the banks of the mighty Murray next week,” Festival Producer David Frazer said. “Riverboats provides festivalgoers with an opportunity to experience a truly beautiful part of Australia without the queues, ticket prices and hassle of larger events. “We are particularly proud of the fact Riverboats has remained
boutique in both its size and philosophy, yet continues to attracts artists of the calibre of Dan Sultan, Sarah Blasko, Tex Perkins and the Whitlams.” From lunchtime until late each day an eclectic mix of Australian icons and trailblazing upand-comers take to the stage for the Murray River’s premiere contemporary music festival. Riverboats’ captivating location lends a leisurely, laid-back vibe to the weekend’s festivities. Whether relaxing on picnic rugs
or dancing under the dappled light of towering river red gums, the festival’s diverse crowd ranges from urban road-trippers to country families and discerning musos. Staged once again within the superb natural amphitheatre of Echuca’s Aquatic Reserve, Riverboats is the natural home for festival fans looking for an intimate experience brimming with great music and a hand-picked selection of regional food and wine.
The very talented Stella Angelico.
Tex Perkins.
Dan Sultan.

IF Eddie Redmayne doesn’t win an Oscar for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking, I am throwing out my television set. Theory of Everything is one of those beautifully delicate and moving films that only come around once a year or so. This film takes the worldfamous achievements and academic prowess of theoretical physicist and cosmologist Professor Stephen Hawking and puts them in the backseat. Instead, we are introduced to a film that focuses on the cheeky and troubled man underneath the science, trying to deal with a deteriorating medical condition and fight for his first love Jane Wilde. Set in the early ’60s in the postcard picturesque streets of Cambridge and its golden colleges, we meet a quirky young Stephen who successfully fumbles his way through a prestigious degree while managing to fall in love with the loyal and religious Jane. At the tender age of 21, Stephen’s future is sent spiralling after he receives his motor neurone diagnosis and is told he has two years to live. It is a diagnosis that fails to
shake Jane’s loyalty, and soon the couple are married and raising their own family. As Stephen continues to outlive his initial diagnosis year after year after year, the strain put on his marriage as his condition worsens unfolds in a slow and painful process, creating many shades of grey and moral questions for the audience as the family looks to many alternative avenues to cope. Redmayne is utterly convincing in his portrayal of a man crippled with a disease slowly taking over his body and life, and the slow progression is depicted spectacularly. It is almost painful to watch
some of his accurate portrayals. Felicity Jones also puts in a great performance, highlighting the struggles between her loyalty as a wife and Christian who never expected her husband to live so long, and an easier life beckoning very nearby. If you see a movie this Oscar season, make it this one. It is heartbreaking and downright depressing at some stages, while also being remarkably uplifting and inspirational. Take the tissues if you’re a softy - it’s bound to hit the heartstrings.

Albury Wodonga
Keep an eye on the regions WHILE attention has focused on Victoria’s auction boom and the increase in prices across the state, particularly since spring 2013, a number of regional Victorian towns are yet to reach their peak property prices of 2010. Top of the list is Horsham, with a median price of $167,500 over the year ending 30 September 2014, almost $20,000 below its median for the year to 30 September, 2010. Given that median prices are slightly below what they were during the last market peak, it offers the prospect that prices have room for growth. This is positive news for sellers, with expected price growth, and also for buyers looking to buy immediately and seeking affordable properties. And Morwell, with a median house price of $160,000 over the 12 months, is about 10 per cent below its 2010 peak - providing the potential for positive growth for Gippsland buyers looking for competitively priced properties. The well located town, nestled between coast and country - and on a key rail link to Melbourne - provides the potential of an excellent long-term investment. With rising Melbourne house prices leading many first home buyers and families on a budget to look to regional Victoria, properties which have not yet reached their 2010 peak offer the opportunity of
a foothold on the property ladder. And although there are no guarantees, they also offer the prospect of capital growth. Other centres also below their 2010 peak include Maffra, eight per cent less at $225,000, Warrnambool, seven per cent less at $300,000, Daylesford, four per cent less at $354,500 and Wodonga, also four per cent less at $265,000. In metropolitan Melbourne McCrae, on the Mornington Peninsula, with a median price of $500,000 topped the list of suburbs below their 2010 peak. It was 20 per cent below its 12-month median of $625,000 median at 31 December, 2010. While the REIV expects house prices to continue to remain solid in 2015, the market is likely to be more evenly balanced, although it may be given a boost if the Reserve Bank further lowers interest rates. In the next six months we expect the market to remain positive. But as the varying rates of return to peak prices illustrate, macro factors such as the unemployment rate and low wages growth combined with local factors such as local unemployment levels, infrastructure and transport can all have a bearing on prices. As always, remain in touch with the market via local agents who can update buyers - and those thinking of selling - of market values in each part of the state, and of local changes that may have a bearing on the price of properties going to market.
Consider the costs of the great sea change move WITH students returning to school and many of us back at work this week, re-adjusting can prompt thoughts of buying a holiday home - or even moving permanently to the coast or the country. This can be a good investment and, with research and planning, can open future options. These can include swapping with other holiday home owners to vary the destination, relocating or retiring there in future and even a long-term sea change or tree change. Every summer, real estate agents experience the results of this longing for an endless holiday lifestyle. For agents in coastal towns, summer is a seven-day-a week frenzy, with January accounting for a considerable part of their agencies’ annual turnover. And the rush can last until Easter. In towns such as Warrnambool, along the Gippsland coast and on Phillip Island, the Mornington Peninsula and along the Great Ocean Road, agents show properties to hol-
iday makers facing that drive to the office, packed trains and weekends mowing the lawns. Agents in inland towns such as Bright are also busy with buyers taking advantage of fine weather to shop for a rural retreat. While most search the internet for a property, holiday makers have the time to browse in agency windows and view properties. It is a time when it is easy to buy with the heart, not the head. But holiday home purchases should be treated like any other house purchase, resting on a foundation of solid research with sound fundamentals. It is important that a gorgeous view or peaceful location does not detract from those fundamentals. Is the Section 32 in order? Is the property sound? Has the contract been checked thoroughly? What is planned for nearby blocks and are there any road or major infrastructure proj-
ects planned nearby? Agents must be aware of restrictions on development limiting what can be done with that fibro holiday shack on a large block and should give you this advice. But to be sure, ask whether or not you can develop the property as this will also have a bearing on its value. It is also important to check whether a rural property - or even one in a regional town or an outer Melbourne suburb - is deemed bushfire prone. What work is needed to have the home and surrounds meet the recommended bushfire safety standards? If you are planning to rent the property check with local agents what rent it could command - including in the offseason. Many regional agents offer property management, making it easy for time poor city dwellers to handle repairs, renting out the property and knowing what to charge. And remember, mortgages still have to be paid in winter.

Local Sport Down, but not out By JAMES McNEIL BELVOIR has all but finished Albury’s run to the finals by beating them by 58 runs at Billson Park in round 12 of the Cricket Albury Wodonga competition. Batting first Belvoir were all out for 194 with key batsman Nat Sariman providing the only real resistance with 77 off 191 deliveries. He was ably supported by Brad Freake (28no) and Glen Vassallo (28). Kade Brown was the best of the Albury bowlers with figures of 7/69 off 25 overs but was still unable to save the game for the Titans. In the chase, Belvoir managed to restrict Albury to 136 all out. Peter Cook claimed 3/23 off 18.0 while Ryan McNeil bowled seven overs for 3/14. Zac Simmonds again bowled 24.2 overs for figures of 2/51. Belvoir batted again and finished up 1/34. Meanwhile, Tallangatta has kept its season well and truly alive with a solid win over Lavington at Rowen Park despite a century to Nathan Brown for the Panthers. Lavington were 4/128 at tea on day one, but ended up only making 225. Mat Armstrong was the best of the bowlers with his 25 overs bringing him the figures of 4/52. Nathan Thompson took 3/14 from his eight overs to wrap up the Panthers tail quickly. In response, Nathan Thompson put the Panthers to the sword scoring 105 retired while Mat Armstrong (59no) and Ned McCormack (45) also batted well. The Panthers only managed to take five wickets in the process with Jaydon Wright and Tom Hargreave taking two wickets each. North Albury has pulled off the biggest upset of the round accounting for Wodonga on their home turf at Les Cheesley Oval. Robbie Jackson scored his seventh half-century for the year in compiling 64 while Andrew Berg was the top scorer with 89 not out. Tylar Young was the best with the ball for the Hoppers with 5/40 from 10 overs while Brandon Purtell took 3/41 off 17 overs. Having set North Albury 237 for victory, Wodonga looked in the box seat but an excellent second wicket partnership of 149 between Ash
Andrew Lade in action.
Dean Nicholson shows some aggression but it wasn't enough to get St Pats home against East Albury. Borella (85) and Brendan Simmons (87) changed the game. Jack Craig took 5/37 off his 10 overs to be the best for the Bulldogs but was not enough as North Albury ended the day at 8/279. East Albury has defeated St Patricks at Xavier oval by seven wickets. Andrew Lade was the star for St Pats with 54 runs while Grant Gardiner (35) and Dean Nicholson (27) provided the support. Chris Bridle was the best for the Crows with the figures of 5/52 off 19 overs which helped restrict St Pats to 197. In response, East Albury got

off to a great start with Alex Popko (66) providing the spark. Aleem Mahmood (63) and James McNeil (57) also pitched in as the Crows made the most of a nice wicket. Jon Shaw was the best for St Pats with 2/59 off 16. New City has run out victors at Birallee Park after posting a first innings total of 6/302, thanks to 78 from Mitchell O’Brien and 75 from Hayden Wishart. Avery Weilandt was the best for Raiders with 2/52 off 15 overs. Opening the batting, Jonathon Carson got Raiders off to a great start with 88. Meanwhile, coach
Josh Warren-Marmo came in at seven and blasted 114 to take the Raiders within sight of victory. Unfortunately, they ran out of overs and went down by 15 runs. Darcy I’Anson proved the best with the ball for New City with 5/34 off 21 overs while Hayden Wishart grabbed 2/71 off 16 overs. The competition is tightening up, and there are several teams losing grip on the top six as it gets close to the pointy end. With only two rounds left, the final six is all but set but points are very valuable as the teams jostle for positions.
Cycle of charity is a good old turn By MONIQUE KUZEFF JUMP on your bikes and buckle on your helmet, the peloton of cyclists is coming through the region in search for enthusiastic riders and determined athletes to join in the active charity ride. The Variety Cycle will soon be pedalling its way on a two-day cycle from Sydney to Melbourne via some of the Border’s favourite towns. Variety is a charity organisation which aims to assist Aussie kids who are suffering from difficulties such as illness, who are disadvantaged, or have special needs. The funds will enable the kids to get experiences and practical equipment that enables them the flexibility to communicate and in-
St James in the end By SEBASTIAN TOMBS WITH every game vital in the last three rounds for St James A1 Bowls, the team travelled to Chiltern looking to capture a precious win and the vital points needed to break into the four and keep their hopes of playing finals alive. Heath Smith and his side went up against Stuart Menzies’ team from Chiltern. Smith’s side were holding six shots on the first end and looking at a dream start until Menzies’ final bowl of the end cut the count to 1. After this St James carried on to win the next four ends and hold a sixshot lead. Until the Chiltern rink picked up five in two ends, and until smoko the end count remained even and the sides went in without much of a gap at 11-9. After the break, it was all Chiltern’s game, with Menzies playing inspired bowls. He had help from Kay Leyden (3rd) and some great crunch bowls from Bodie Hibberson (2nd) where they overpowered the St James rink and took the rink points 15-21. Stuart Ralph and his side of Sue Middleton (3rd), Mick Millsom (2nd) and Bertie Haebich (l) exchanged blows with Neil Pryor’s Chiltern rink in the first three ends. However, a run of 14 shots to three between end four and eight gave the St James side an eight-shot lead. This lead was cut back to four on the remaining ends before the break, at 20-16. After returning to the green, Ralph, Middleton, Millsom and Haebich weren’t in a generous mood and only gave away another five shots for the game. In comparison, they themselves picked up 14 more shots with some exceptional bowls from the four St James players, eased to victory 34-21. Another even start was seen on David Lidgerwood’s rink. His side of Beth Parker (3rd), Steve Bament(2nd) and Yvonne Davies (l) were 4-7 down after seven ends before it all clicked into gear. A run of nine consecutive ends amassing 14 shots took them to a commanding position at the break, 18-7. A five-shot haul from John O’Neill’s Chiltern rink directly after the break brought them back into the game, but St James managed to recoup this loss with some classy bowls from the David Lidgerwoodand the in-form Beth Parker. They regathered a nine-shot differential with three ends to play, but dropped six shots over these ends to win with a close final score, 23-20. Haydn Smith’s rink jumped their Chiltern counterparts with eight shots on the first three ends. However, they couldn’t keep this up and relented the next few ends to Wayne Green’s Chiltern side to be one shot up; 9-8, 4 ends later. From this point until the break, it was a backand-forth struggle with the same difference seen in the score-line. A four to Chiltern on an exciting final end saw St James fall six shots short, 22-28. Final Score: St James -94 shots (14 points) d Chiltern - 90 shots (4 points) In section B2, St James played Yarrawonga/ Mulwala Golf Club Resort. St James won all three rinks with a fantastic team performance, with Ray Keen’s side having a notable 20-shot win with a dominant display. Final Score: St James - 85 shots (16 points) d YMGCR - 59 shots (0 points).

Local Sport Blistering times in cool weather By CRAIG McMILLAN - BENDED ELBOW CYCLING TEAM THE second round of the Bended Elbow Time Trial series produced some blistering times in cool and windy conditions last Thursday night, with the top nine riders all averaging over 40km/h over the 16km course. With riders as far away as Ballarat and Bright lining up on the Old Barnawartha course, competition was close and hard fought across the grades. With a strong easterly pushing the riders to the turn at speeds of over 50km/h, riders' strength was tested in the tough return leg. Wangaratta’s rising star Tomarsh Loki blazed the course in 21.51 to take overall men’s honours in the event, with national championship medallist Taryn Heather taking out the women’s in 22.57. In the Masters category, Ballarat’s Matt Bowman revelled in the windy conditions to post a 22.35. In the standard bike category, Kirrillie De Athridge continued to impress with her strong riding with a 28.51, while Declan Gregory took out the men’s in a 23.58. Quietly improving Lindsay French secured the B grade category with an excellent time of 26.17 to continue to lead the category.

The Time Trial series continues to attract a number of new riders, with first timer Josh Banks taking out the junior category in his first attempt. An up and coming Border rider, Banks looked a rider of the future in a strong ride, setting a 28.12 to record the benchmark for the category. Round Three of the event sees the introduction of a Two Up category, where two riders race as a team, sharing the effort into the wind, with the time of the second
rider across the line recorded. Three race cycling licences are available for anyone looking to compete in any grade, with the Bended Elbow Cycling team on hand for any advice to get you underway. For all cyclists that are keen to try cycle racing, the event starts at 6.15pm at the corner of Old Barnawartha and McFarlands Road, each Thursday night until 12 March. Sign on starts at 5.45pm and all abilities are welcome.

Albury mayor Kevin Mack is encouraging football fans to support the game after the Border city secured the prestigious sporting event. “One of the questions people ask me most as mayor is ‘when will Albury get another AFL game?’,” he said. “Our region has a huge appetite for AFL competition. “Now it’s up to fans to show their support by coming along to the match and sending the league a clear message that Albury Wodonga remains one of its strongest support bases in regional Australia.” “The Lavington Sports Ground is regarded as the premier venue in southern NSW and is sure to be pumping for the 14 March clash.” Cr Mack predicted the match would be a great afternoon night, regardless of if you’re a Tigers or Power fan. “Richmond is one of Melbourne’s biggest clubs with a
huge local following and Port Adelaide is arguably the most exciting young team in the competition. “It’s shaping up as a great contest.” In an added bonus the match will also serve as a fundraiser for the James McQuillan Future Fund to assist the injured Albury Tiger.
