The youth gamble By ERIN SOMERVILLE
LOCAL support services are concerned an increasing number of young people are becoming addicted to gambling through online betting agencies, apps, and social media. The newly-launched youth support website myrollercoaster has dedicated a portion of its site to addressing the issue of young people and gambling on the Border, while Gateway Health has labelled it as an emerging issue among local youth. “Community concern is growing over the impact gambling is having on young people, particularly through sport, advertising, online games and social media,� CEO of the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation Serge Sardo said. “Research has found gaming apps are making gambling more accessible and attractive to young people, making gambling more socially acceptable. “Researchers are concerned this is ‘normalising’ gambling to young people.� Gateway Health’s Gamblers Help counsellor David Rosewarne said a person with a gambling problem often had difficulty in limiting the time or money they spent on gambling, often leading to serious consequences for the gambler or for others in their life and community. Friends of young people, parents, and teachers are encouraged to look for signs that may indicate a young person is suffering from a gambling problem. This includes spending lots of time talking or thinking about gambling, obsessing over simulated gambling apps, obsessing about odds when watching sport rather than the game, borrowing
money from family and friends, lying about gambling activities, or being moody or stressed when not gambling. The Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation shows one in five adults developed a gambling problem before the age of 18, while one in every high school class of 25 students will struggle with betting. Financial loss can be just the tip of the iceberg, with problem gambling also leading to relationship breakdowns, employment issues, and even mental and physical health problems. Mr Rosewarne said many young people were looking to the internet for help with gambling problems. “While we have received feedback this issue is beginning to emerge with youth on the Border, this has not yet filtered directly through to our service,� he said. “We understand youth do access Gambling Help Services but it is most commonly through our online support services.� If a young person would like support for their gambling behaviour, there is a dedicated youth helpline - Gambler’s Help Youthline on 1800 262 376 or gamblinghelponline.org.au. Parents who would like more information on how to discuss gambling with teenagers can find the foundation’s guide at http://kidbet.com.au/download/ vrgf-parents-gambling-guide. pdf The local Gamblers Help Service for Hume region is located at Gateway Health and can be contacted on 02 6022 8888 or 1800 658 573.

Fulfilling his dreams By ERIN SOMERVILLE TEJU Chouhan left his home country of Bhutan at the age of just 10. After spending 18 years in a refugee camp, Mr Chouhan started calling the Border his home in 2008. He was among the first Bhutanese refugees to settle in the area, light-heartedly referring to himself as one of the ‘first fleeters.’ While it was exciting to start life in a new land, there were many challenges that faced the “first fleeter’s” community. Many ethnic communities still face these challenges and barriers on the Border. Equitable access to services, settlement and integration, employment and language barriers, translating skills, and dealing with health impacts of a Western lifestyle and diet are just some of the problems migrants are coming up against. As part of Cultural Diversity Week, Teju Chouhan will be among a team of people proud to launch the new Albury-Wodonga Ethnic Communities Council Inc. (AWECC) at Sunday’s Harmony Day celebrations to help tackle some of these issues. The council is supported by both
Wodonga Council's Project Co-ordinator and Chairman Teju Chouhan for Albury-Wodonga Ethnic Communities Council Inc. look forward to launching their council this week. 136202 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE Albury and Wodonga councils, as well as the Victorian Government. It will have 11 members from eight nationalities to help address the needs and issues of local ethnic groups, as well as promote multiculturalism. “It will be the voice of ethnic
communities and organisations on the Border,” said AWECC chairman Teju Chouhan, who describes his role of helping other migrants as fulfilling a dream. “We want to make all, if not most, ethnic groups on the Border represented and their voices heard at
different levels of government. “We need to have that influence at a policy level for policies that impact our lives in the region.” Mr Chouhan said this week’s Cultural Diversity Week and Harmony Day is a great way to start breaking down the cultural barriers on the Border. “It’s about culture and breaking those barriers and celebrating what makes us diverse.” The AWECC will be officially launched on Sunday’s Harmony Day celebrations at Hovell Tree Park from 2pm. A number of events will be held for Cultural Diversity Week and Harmony Day, including: Friday 20 March Culture Club morning tea. 10am until 11.30am. Wodonga Library, Hovell Street. Saturday 21 March The Good Lie movie screening. 3pm start. The Cube, Wodonga. All Things Thai. 10.30am until 1.30pm. Albury LibraryMuseum.

UPGRADED XPT infrastructure and slashed travelling times are proving to be the hot topics on the Border for major parties in the lead-up to this month’s State Election. The NSW Liberals pledged on Monday a $1 billion replacement of regional state XPT rolling stock if re-elected, which would mean faster travel time and more reliable regional services. Trips between Albury and Sydney would be cut by one hour and 15 minutes, while travel time to Melbourne would also be reduced. The new fleet would also include state-of-theart facilities with modern and comfortable seating, dining, sleeping and entertainment options, including the potential for WIFI, as well as enhanced security, and better access for the elderly and people with a disability. Member for Albury Greg Aplin welcomed the news earlier this week. “This is fantastic news for our community and means faster travel times, improved comfort and better reliability on regional train services,” Mr Aplin said. “We all know the current XPT trains are getting close to their use-by-date and have dropped below the standards people would expect from long-distance train travel around the world. “Regional NSW is no longer going to put up with second-rate trains.” Labor candidate for Albury Ross Jackson will join his party in pushing for high speed rail in favour of replaced XPT fleets. Mr Jackson joined Federal Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Anthony Albanese in Albury on Monday morning to call on the Federal Government to adopt Labor’s long-term high speed rail plan. “Tony Abbott must stop feigning interest in developing a High Speed Rail link between Brisbane and Melbourne via Sydney and Canberra and begin acquiring land before ongoing urban sprawl makes the project impossible,” Mr Albanese said. “High Speed Rail would revolutionise interstate travel, making it possible to travel between capital cities in as little as three hours. “It would also supercharge the development of regional communities along its route, including Albury-Wodonga, Wagga Wagga, Grafton, Newcastle and Shepparton.”

ALBURY could see a new $40 million high school built in the city if a Foley Labor Government wins this month’s election. The pledge, which came last week by the shadow state government, would most likely impact Thurgoona that already has a parcel of land earmarked in the area for a school development. The multi-million dollar announcement has been warmly welcomed by Labor candidate for Albury Ross Jackson. “Albury is a growing city - that means families establishing themselves in the outer suburbs are increasingly further away from established schools for their children. “Thurgoona is the perfect example of the strain being put on families trying to access schools the nearest high school is over 10km away. “A Labor Government will investigate the educational demand for another high school along with the best location for the school.” The population of Albury has doubled since the city’s third public high school was opened in 1976 and the population is expected to grow by a further 30 per cent in the next 20 years to about 66,800, Labor figures show. Mr Jackson said the $40 million was locked in to build a new school when it was needed. The announcement has been rebuffed by Member for Albury Greg Aplin, who has labelled it an “election stunt”. Mr Aplin said in a public statement on Friday he had been having ongoing discussions with the Department of Education on the issue. He said there is not yet the demand for a new high school in the city. “Once the student figures meet the need for a high school, the NSW Government will fund the development, which could be a full K-12 school. “I can confirm the Department of Education is closely monitoring population growth and demographics in this area and has determined that this is not the time to commence construction. “The department will continue to fill excess capacity in existing schools until the need emerges.”

FIREFIGHTERS are reminding Border residents to remain vigilant about fire safety after power machinery sparked a 10 hectare blaze on Sunday. Around 60 NSW Rural Fire Service and Fire and Rescue crew members tackled the steep terrain of Red Light Hill, also known as One Tree Hill, at Springdale Heights to contain the fire. They were assisted by a medium helicopter to help water bomb the blaze. Rural Fire Service southern border team district manager Patrick Westwood said residents still needed to be aware of fire danger despite temperatures cooling off, and fire season not ending until 1 April. “It’s doesn’t take much to start a fire at the moment, but it takes a lot to put it out,” he said. “We had a lot of rain in January and a lot of grass growth, and that’s drying off, and as a result we’ve got a lot of dry grass. “Although temperatures and humidity are cooler than summer, it’s still a dangerous time.” Firefighters were called to the scene at 2pm Sunday after a nearby land owner accidentally sparked the blaze through the use of power machinery. Within that time, the fire had already run five hectares up the hill. It spread to 10 hectares before firefighters were able to extinguish the flames around 10pm on Sunday night. Minor damage was done to fences in the area, and all nearby livestock were safely accounted for on Monday morning.

Drug driving on the rise
First class skills centre VICTORY Lutheran College has unveiled its new state-of-the-art trades skills centre, which will provide students with first class skills in trades and hospitality. The $1.7 million centre enables students build on their carpentry, joinery, furnishing and cooking skills as a pathway to potential careers in trades and hospitality. The hospitality building includes an outdoor cafe area, commercial kitchen and pantry, and an Asian cookery specialised facility. The trades skills centre also boasts all the latest mod-cons, and includes a construction and furnishing workshop, an outdoor construction space, as well as a machinery workspace. Both facilities also include theory rooms and industrial storage spaces. The trades skills centre was officially opened last week by Parliamentary Sec-
retary to the Minister for Education and Training Senator Scott Ryan. Principal Cain McDonald is excited to see students able to develop their trade and hospitality skills to their full potential. “The Victory Lutheran College Trades Skills Centre provides further depth and breadth to our course curriculum offerings and provides a new opportunity for students in Wodonga and surrounds to learn and experience trades in a dynamic, technically advanced, and safe environment based on the latest industry standards,” he said. A total of $1.5 million worth of funding for this facility was provided by the Federal Government for the projects, and is expected to address skills shortages in the building and construction as well as the hospitality industry.

ALBURY police are sending out a stern reminder to anyone thinking of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol after catching more than one in 10 motorists drug driving during an operation last week. Officers from the Traffic and Highway Patrol and Albury Local Area Command found 18 drivers returned positive readings during a random drug testing (RDT) operation from Thursday to Saturday across Albury, Tumbarumba, and Corowa. A total 172 random drug tests were conducted. Samples of positive drug tests have been sent off, with several charges
likely to be laid after further analysis. Albury Local Area Command Inspector Scott Russell said police would continue to target drug driving across the area. He said the drivers were not only gambling with their own lives, but also that of other motorists sharing the same roadways. “It’s very disappointing that people continue to flout the law driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol,” he said. “We’ll continue to target drug and drink driving.” Police also issued 36 infringements for various offences including, speed, seatbelts, and driving unregistered vehicles.
Break ice supply plea By ERIN SOMERVILLE
POLICE are asking for residents to help put a stop to the drug supply on the Border. Over the next few weeks, Wodonga police will be encouraging local residents to report information about those manufacturing and distributing crystal, otherwise known as ice. The move comes as part of Crime Stoppers Victoria’s ‘Dob in a Dealer’ campaign, which is being rolled out around regional parts of the state to tackle the issue. Dob in a Dealer saw a 100 per cent rise in reports in Warrnambool in 2013, while reports in Bendigo soared by 300 per cent. Police are now hoping Wodonga residents can help provide small yet often-necessary pieces of information that form a jigsaw of drug crimes being committed on the Border. “One piece may not make a great deal of sense, but adding it to other pieces, all of a sudden you get the big picture,” Crime Stoppers community manager Peter Brown said. “We know that drugs like crystal methylamphetamines are of serious concern in the Wodonga area and in other regional towns across Victoria. “Drugs can have devastating consequences for the whole community, and putting a stop to the flow of drugs require a whole-of-community response.” Wodonga Station Commander Senior Sergeant Kate Chamberlain urged residents to “run on their gut instinct” if something doesn’t seem right. She said local police were noticing the impact drugs, particularly ice, were having on the community. “Socially, it’s become so much more violent.
Crime Stoppers community manager Peter Brown and Wodonga Station Commander Senior Sergeant Kate Chamberlain urge residents to dob in a Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE dealer as part of a new campaign. 136179 “They (the drugs) can come through a multitude of sources, and it’s important people become alert and aware of what’s going on.” She said the campaign was a chance to help put a stop to the local drug supply.
“It’s about helping people and saving lives. “ In identifying a drug dealer or even a drug lab, residents should be on the look out for a number of elements, including: Suspicious vehicle movements out-
·

· Suspicious items, including impro· ·
vised heating and cooling mechanisms. An unusual chemical smell. Blackened or covered windows.

A house sold quickly for under $350,000. 136153
PIctures: ADAM WILSON
Demand is building By ERIN SOMERVILLE
IT’S a case of slim pickings for home buyers looking to get into the more affordable end of the market, with Border real estate agents facing demand for cheaper houses. Over summer, real estate agents have been kept busy as investors and first-home buyers snap up cheaper homes ($160,000 through to $320,000), while fewer trickle onto the market. Wodonga Real Estate sales manager Clinton Harvey said while the market remained flat as population growth failed to put pressure on land availability, and the Border’s building industry remained competitive, supply and demand was becoming an issue. “We’ve been experiencing from December until now a lack of supply,” he said. “Four to five hundred houses sell a year in Wodonga as a whole, but that’s fallen in the last three and a half months.” Mr Harvey said record low interest rates were pushing up demand, as new home owners and investors looked to take advantage of paying less for their mortgage.
He also feels negative national and global events being covered by media are also impacting on sellers’ morale. Meanwhile, Hutton Real Estate principal Nigel Hutton said his team was also finding little on the local market for buyers looking for a house under $200,000, although stated that plenty of units were available for those looking for something more compact. He said his business was dealing with more investors compared to first-home buyers, with many inquiring from interstate and capital cities. “Entry prices are better here than capital cities, and they get a better return, but they won’t get the capital growth that they would in a capital city.” But those looking to buy a cheaper home on the Border need not be discouraged by the current lack of supply. Local real estate agencies advise buyers to be proactive to keep ahead in the real estate game. “Be active, contact your local trusted real estate agent. You don’t want to wait until you see it on the
Wodonga Real Estate's Clinton Harvey says houses on the cheaper end of the market are harder to come by on the Border. 136153 internet,” Mr Harvey said. “Make your intentions clear and tell (your agents) exactly what you’re looking for.” And for those sitting on one of these more affordable properties, now is the time to consider an upgrade. “There has never been a better time to upscale because of the supply and demand issues. “Sellers are getting extra for their home and buying in a higher-end market just as well.
“It’s a great time to take a step up the ladder.” Meanwhile, Mr Hutton encourages residents interested in entering the real estate game to get on board now, whether it’s upgrading or buying. “Right now interest rates are at a record low and property prices are not increasingly dramatically (on the Border). “If you can’t afford to buy now, when can you do it?”
Curing blindness: new pathways found By ERIN SOMERVILLE
FOR as long as she can remember, Claire Warner has been keen on science. As a student at Catholic College Wodonga, her scientific curiosity was nurtured by her maths and science teachers, and eventually resulted in her becoming a biomedical engineer. Now a research fellow at Mash University’s Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute Monash University, this former Border student has played part in an incredible breakthrough in helping prevent blindness. Ms Warner’s research has discovered a second ‘pathway’ to the brain, helping overturn the long-held view that there is only one route for information to travel from the eye to the brain. This discovery boosts hopes for future treatments to prevent blindness. “The latest breakthrough is research I conducted as a part of my doctoral studies,” Ms Warner said. “ I designed and conducted the experiments and analysed the results under the scientific guidance of my supervisor and refinement through intellectual discourse with my work colleagues. “This new discovery detailing how areas of the brain responsible for vision could potentially adapt to injury or trauma and ultimately prevent blindness is very exciting.”
The discovery was no easy find, and Ms Warner spent years working towards these latest findings. Ms Warner’s decision to focus on the pulvinar- a part of the brain that she feels has been overlooked- soon become a big part of her life as she strived to put difficult methodology into practice. “There were lots of experiments, many sleepless nights, no weekends and lots of hours spent analysing data then writing the paper to articulately convey the findings,” she said. “It wasn’t uncommon for the security guards to find me at my desk at 3 o’clock in the morning. “To sum up, it was pretty much my life for the last six years.” The latest find makes up the final research chapter of Ms Warner’s PhD thesis, which cohesively links together with her findings in her two earlier published studies. When she finally made the breakthrough, it was an exciting result. “It is extremely satisfying to look down a microscope and see your experiment has worked. “ You are literally the first person in the world to be seeing these results. “Such achievements are not possible without a great team and working environment.” It is no surprise this Border student is making waves in her field. Completing Honours at the Monash University Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Ms Warner
Former Border school student Claire Warner has made important breakthroughs in her biomedical engineering field. 135897 was no stranger to the Deans List each year for her achievements, and spent a summer completing an internship at a neuroscience lab. Travelling to major Australian cities to present her findings, Ms Warner has even been to Chicago to present her work at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) conference. She now hopes this great discovery will help improve the life of blind people in the future. Ms Warner said students on the Border with a passion for science wanting to work professionally in the field could do so with a little bit
of hard work, work experience, and dedication to pursue the relevant university degree. “Qualifications aside it also takes a particular type of person to form an affinity with scientific research. “As science is very competitive, you definitely have to be proactive, don’t wait for someone to inform you about an opportunity you should apply for, go and find them for yourself. “Ultimately, my advice is to separate yourself from the rest of the pack.”
LABOR has won the coveted top spot on Albury’s ballot papers following the draw for State Election positions on Friday. Labor’s Albury candidate Ross Jackson will sit at number one position, followed by Christian Democrats’ Kym Wade, No Land Tax party’s John Marra, Liberal sitting member Greg Aplin, and the Greens’ Niloufer King. Pre-polling kicked off on Monday at 8am, and is expected to play a major role in this year’s NSW State Election in the leadup to Election Day on 28 March. If trends from other State Elections are anything to go by, NSW could see the 8.2 per cent of those who voted early in 2011 tripled. In an indication of the increasingly important role of pre-polling, Corowa and Holbrook will operate pre-poll venues for the first time. Traditionally, only Albury has offered this service for the electorate. Those who wish to cast their votes early can do so at the following locations: Albury: Returning Officers’ Office, Suite 1a, 530-540 Swift Street. Open. Closed Sundays. Corowa: Shire Council Offices, 100 Edward Street. Open from 23 March. Closed weekends. Holbrook: Library Complex, Library Court. Open from 21 March. Closed on Sunday. Sydney: Town Hall, 483 George Street. Open. Closed Sundays. For more information visit: http://www. votensw.info/early_voting/pre-poll
Rekindling love amid cancer By ERIN SOMERVILLE
WHEN Andrew Bowen’s wife, a non-smoker, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2006 at just 38 years old, there were many things about their difficult journey ahead they weren’t prepared Andrew Bowen for.Sex was just one of shares the struggles them. he and his wife had Both young and with intimacy during with three kids under her battle with 10, sex still played an cancer. 135909 important role in their relationship, but it was a part of their love life that soon became very difficult as Mr Bowen’s wife physical condition deteriorated. “She lived with lung cancer for about 18 months, ultimately in that 18 months we lived with the difficulty of intimacy,” Mr Bowen said. “For me and my wife, the average age of lung cancer is 60 plus and we were still in our sexual prime at late thirties.” It was from this experience that Mr Bowen decided to become involved with Rekindle: a world-first online resource created by University of Sydney and Cancer Council NSW to improve the sexual wellbeing of all those affected by cancer and their partners - both during and after the cancer battle. This follows their new research that found that 50 per cent of cancer survivors who experienced problems with their sex lives did not seek help for their concerns, citing embarrassment and lack of privacy as the main barriers. For Mr Bowen, it was difficult for he and his wife to find and share their concerns with those who could relate. However, once they were able to, they found sharing stories and receiving advice provided major support and made the couple realise they were not alone. He encourages all Border couples experiencing intimacy issues that have arisen from cancer to engage with the resource, which offers a wide range of tools and practical advice from the comfort of your own home. “When you first get the diagnosis, everything is like a minefield,” Mr Bowen said. “It’s like having children for the first time, you have no idea what it’s going to be like even though they tell you. “If I can help someone have an easier time going through what I went through, that’s what I want.” For more information visit: http://www.cancercouncil.com.au/

Briefly
Check section 83
Biter bitten
IT REALLY doesn’t matter if it’s section 83 or section 666, the rules have been broken regarding impediment, retarding, obstructing, a hindrance to others going about their business or being just sanctimonious, pious inhibitors. If it was illegal regarding abortion in NSW, why aren’t there more conventions concerning a woman’s right to do what she wishes with her body? We all must have commonsense on the matter, not just let an unruly mob of warm fuzzy feeling, do-aswe-want radicals control the lives of people who are in need of attention. I can tell Denise M. Cameron, President of the Pro Life Victoria that very shortly, due to the population explosion that is happening all over the world, contraception will be placed in the drinking water, or food we eat, and how many children we can have will be closely monitored by governments worldwide, because of the shortage of food, and clean water that is all about to confront us. To Denise Cameron, get used to abortions as being in the normal, everyday living. Forget the ‘fairies at the bottom of the garden’. Let’s hope we can foresee a better world for our future with less religion, that always seems to be the gravel in the wheels of industry. We all can see at present what radical religion is capable of, inwardly digest and stop pestering people with your crap. Bill Whitham, Tallangatta.
A WOMAN has been charged after she allegedly bit a police officer on the leg when being arrested at Albury on Sunday morning. Police were patrolling Dean Street about 1.55am when they saw security personnel struggling to evict a woman from a hotel.

The bitten officer, whose skin had been penetrated, has returned to duty after receiving medical treatment. Inspector Russell said assaults put unnecessary stresses and pressure on staff and their families. “Potentially any blood-related issues bring a concerning wait to see
if they’ve been affected by other disease." The 34-year-old woman, from Corowa, was granted conditional bail and will appear in Albury Local Court on Tuesday, 7 April.
Domestic dispute POLICE have charged a man following an alleged domestic-related incident in Lavington on Sunday night.

A quality field assembled to compete on the Old Barnawartha Road course, including four National Road Series professional riders and a number of top regional riders. A strong westerly wind challenged the riders to the turn, who then enjoyed speeds inexcess of 50km/h to the finish. Wangaratta professional Matt Clarke continued his steady progress back from injury, with a fastest time on the night with a scorching 21.34. The region's top Master, Wangaratta’s Tully Lyster blazed a personal best, going under 22 minutes for the first time in 21.47. The support of Wangaratta riders has been excellent throughout the series, with the overall winner Tomarsh Loki holding the course record at 21.24. Top professional Taryn Heather took out the women’s series with a time set in the lead-up to the Oceania Championships with a 23.57. The Standard Bike category was shaken up on the last night with top NRS professionals Neil Van DerPloeg and Tim Guy deadheating with a 22.20 to share the series lead. The Women’s Standard Bike
category was taken out by Kirrilie De Athridge who has impressed every week. The series has enabled riders to develop their time trial skills and fitness levels with a number of riders making significant gains through the event. Three Border riders who have competed every week with seconds separating them were Aaron Moffat, Mat Hamblin and Charly McMillan, with Mat Hamblin just coming out on top through the series with a 22.21. B Grade leader Lindsay French and Junior leader Josh Banks continued to improve on their times convincingly, winning their events and the series. New competitors are pleasing in any sport and the event has been successful in attracting riders to competitive cycling. The time trial format enables competitors to develop their riding without pressure and compete in the same event as top professionals. The continued support of new riders was a pleasing aspect of the series with Sue Armstrong, Josh Banks, Kirrillie De Athridge and Tim Winkleman all regularly competing and setting personal bests. The Bended Elbow Time Trial Series will return next season with a winter series also planned. An initiative by the Bended Elbow Racing Team to support cycling in the region, the event will continue to develop and target bringing all levels of cyclists together to enjoy racing.

Education with a difference
AT the Albury Wodonga Community College, the team knows education means something different to everyone. The College provides opportunities for learners of all ages, across different levels of experience and is renown for its Independent School that helps young people who have been unable to complete their studies in mainstream schools. With its unique and creative classes, students aged 15-19 are able to finish their studies in an environment they’re comfortable in, and supported to go on to gain vocational skills in their chosen area of employment interest. The College is eager to connect with disengaged students, and welcomes family members and friends of any young person who isn’t coping having left school, to explore the College’s Independent School options. “We help young people who don’t fit into the traditional model,” Albury Wodonga Community College Assistant Principal Anna Bownds said. “For every year a person stays in education, it increases their chances of getting a job and achieving a long term career in employment” The main difference between the Community College and other alternative education settings is that their foundations lie in adult education philosophies, which includes choice, independence, accountability, and mutual respect. The College also stands out from the crowd with its offering of the exclusive program
Coaching Young People for Success. This model incorporates a youth coaching system that includes both the training and curriculum attractive to former students and youth agencies delivering a powerful life, career, performance and peer coaching program. The program is youth centred, focuses on strengths and solutions, and works towards goals through motivational and evidencebased practises. The differences offered by Community College can be seen through their work with local business Cakes by Claire, which provides students the chance to develop a number of their skills through cake making and decorating. The hands-on lessons are held in a friendly learning environment at the school’s very own bakery facilities. It provides students with the chance to flex their creativity, discovering new skills and interests. It also helps young people engage and build a network with the local professional community, and build pathways into employment. Although it is March, the Albury Wodonga Community College takes enrolments all year round, and welcomes you, or your family member or friend who is eager to re-engage with education, to join them and build a better future. We have two campuses, one in Wodonga and one in Albury. Call 02 6043 8228 or 02 6041 3955 for more information.

FOR Ken Wright and Linda Storm, being a senior in Albury is a pretty good gig. With great friends, facilities, and plenty of open spaces, they say they couldn’t have it much better anywhere else in Australia. “I think Albury Wodonga is one of the best places in the whole of Australia for a senior, and I’ve travelled numerously,” Ms Storm said. “It’s so lovely in Albury, we’ve got everything.” As Seniors Week kicked off on Sunday, the city is celebrating the great contribution seniors make to the Border community and hosting an array of events. As part the Seniors Week activities, local seniors will be preparing frames that will be used by participants in creating the Frame your Space exhibition, which will feature in the city’s new art gallery opening celebrations. Both Ms Storm and Mr Wright are taking part in the project, and said they had found AlburyCity Senior celebrations rewarding in the past. “It was great, and we got to meet people,” Ms Storm said. AlburyCity events officer Mandy Bland said participants in this year’s project would have a range of experience and backgrounds as they worked with a local curator to create and better understand art collections. And with the city seeing an ageing population, Mayor Kevin Mack said it was increasingly important for seniors to be recognised for their contributions to the community. “We need to recognise each demographic when the opportunity arrives," he said.

Schools in sailing sprint By TANIA PHILLIPS
FIVE school teams from Albury Wodonga were surrounded by Grand Prix fever on Friday (13 March) while they took part in a sailing sprint racing competition in the centre of Albert Park. Teams from Albury High, Victory Lutheran College and the Scots School entered the Bill Bell Sprint Sailing Championships held at Albert Park Lake in Melbourne. Albert Park Lake came alive on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the 2015 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix with daily sailing regattas gliding across the water. The inter-school Bill Bell Sprint Sailing Championships is an exciting new edition to the 2015 race offering. The local high school teams raced in pairs in double-handed boats called Pacers. The team sailing was close. After 10 races, Albury High (Laura and Simon Thomson) were equal first with Dromana College (Luke and Wade). On a countback, Albury High School finished 2nd overall. Scots School (George and Oscar) finished 4th, Victory College (Matilda and Alex) 6th, Albury High (Xeno and Casper) 7th and Victory/Albury High (Andrea and Yasmin) 9th (out of 12 teams). “We’re thrilled that Albury Wodonga will be represented at this exciting
Albury High’s Laura and Simon Thomson. and high profile sailing competition,“ Leanne Thomson from the Albury Wodonga Yacht Club said before the event. “There’s a growing level of interest in sailing as a school sport in our local area, particularly among primary and secondary school students.” Volunteer instructors from Albury Wodonga Yacht Club have offered sailing experiences and safety instruction for many schools during the summer months. Students and teachers from Bandiana Primary, Mitta Mitta Primary, Tallangatta Valley Primary, Talgarno Primary, Mt Carmel Christian College, Wodonga Middle Years College and Wodonga Senior Secondary have all participated in introductory sailing
programs hosted by the club. Tallangatta Secondary School and Victory Luthern College have even participated in a Start Sailing learn to sail course. Mrs Thomson said junior members from Albury Wodonga Yacht Club achieved impressive results in State sailing events held last weekend, with talented young sailors taking out first place at both the Victorian Optimist Titles and NSW Laser Metropolitan Championships. (Read more results here: https://www.facebook.com/AlburyWodongaYC) “It’s so exciting to see the next generation of sailors developing their skills and confidence,“ Leanne said. “Sailing is such a fantastic sport and Lake Hume is the perfect place to hone and develop your skills.“

Homemade window cleaner Have bright sparkling windows and a happier wallet by mixing together equal parts vinegar and water. Spray onto your window and wipe off with a paper towel. The diluted vinegar will take a little longer to dry so you have plenty of time to polish the glass. Barbecue cleaning It is best to clean a barbecue
when it is still warm. Simply pour a little vegetable oil over the hot plate and wipe with paper towels. For stubborn stains, while the plate is hot, sprinkle on white sugar and vinegar. Leave on full heat until the vinegar evaporates and then use a scraper to remove the stain. After you have cleaned the hotplates, pour vegetable oil on and let the plates cool. Wipe down with a paper towel once the barbecue is completely cooled. Snail mail Keep snails out of the letter box wipe a line of Vaseline around the edge of the letterbox. Snails and

Paint the mixture over the stain, allow it to dry, and crack the dry plaster with a wooden spoon and then brush it away. Viola! No more oil stains.

Service and quality stand out
SOUTHERN Vale’s professional and experienced Drafting and Design manager Jai Younie takes time out of helping create another dream home to tell Albury Wodonga News Weekly what makes the business stand out. - Tell us a brief history of your company? To become a leading player in one of Australia’s toughest industries means you have to stay ahead of the pack. Wodonga-based building company Southern Vale Homes has been one of those leading players for 20 years and the company’s success can be attributed to the vision and direction of its founder Graham Searle, family support and the culture of its staff. In the past two decades, Southern Vale has established a solid reputation for quality and service in Central Victoria and southern NSW. Under the company’s diversification and expansion plan it has since moved into the Sydney, Hunter Valley, Ulladulla and Griffith. Southern Vale’s high standing in the residential housing market has been underpinned by delivering on clients’ requirements at a fixed price. - Why Southern Vale Homes and what sets you apart from other building companies? There are many great reasons to build with Southern Vale homes. First and foremost, we are a true local builder that delivers a quality product.
We’ve taken a lot of care in selecting our trades over our 20 years as a well-known and respected builder on the Border and we can confidently say that our trades are exceptional, and continue to produce the quality results that we are known for. We have a fantastic range of designs that is sure to suit everyone from first home buyers to investors, and those who are ready to build their ‘forever’ home. We understand that our portfolio needs to grow with our current market to keep up with the changing needs and styles of our clients. With this in mind we are working tirelessly to improve on our range and we are excited to announce that in just a few short weeks we will be launching a whole new portfolio of designs and inclusions. And, last but not least, our sales staff deliver incredible service. Dean and I approach our roles differently to most sales consultants in that we don’t just want the ‘next sale’, we actually want to get to know our clients and assist them in creating their vision be it the home that perfectly suits their family and lifestyle or designing units for an investor that will maximise their return. We treat every client like the individual that they are and we understand the gravity and importance of the decision to build a home. Not only is it a big financial invest-
ment but it is also a really big emotional investment, too. We know, we’ve been there ourselves. That’s why I personally became a sales consultant because I know from my own experiences that building a home can be daunting and stressful and that without the right person to guide you it can be dreadful. I knew it didn’t have to be that way and, more importantly, that it shouldn’t be that way. So I am passionate about making my clients’ building experience as pleasant and stress free as I possibly can. Building a home should be exciting and enjoyable. - What area do you cover? We’ve just made the exciting move into Griffith, setting up our office there with Michael and Maria Piromalli at 446a Banna Avenue, Griffith, NSW, 2680.
This is a move we have wanted to make for some time but, as I mentioned earlier, it’s imperative to have the right staff and trades on board in order for a move such as this to be successful. We are now confident that, with the team we have, our Griffith branch will flourish. We are also based in Sydney, Ulladulla, Bendigo and Shepparton covering approximately a 200km radius of these areas. Anyone who is not sure if we cover their area can give our friendly sales staff a call and they will be able to give advice.
- Where are your display homes? Locally we currently have the Encore MKII and the Riverside designs on display at Riverside Boulevard, Riverside Estate, Killara. However, we are just beginning to build a new display which will be located in Whitebox Rise, Wodonga. This display is due to open in June and we are sure it will impress. Anyone who feels like going for a drive can view our Arlington design at 31 Swanson Boulevard, Strathfieldsaye, 355, Bendigo.
We design and adapt till it feels like home. At Southern Vale we've worked really hard to provide a range of house plans designed to give you loads of options, and lots of choice.

Brace for a big season
IT’S being described as their “biggest season yet”. As Albury Entertainment Centre officially launches its 2015 season, Border residents are in for a treat with a huge array of performances planned to hit the stage. The Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Flying Fruit Fly Circus, The Tap Pack, and Circus Oz headline a season that promises a perfect blend of comedy, drama, music and physical theatre. Albury Entertainment Centre Venue manager Brendan Maher says 2015 will be a year of big productions and names to remember. He expects tickets to go quickly. “The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow kicks off the season in hilarious style, followed by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performing classics from the Rossini’s William Tell overture to Piazzolla’s great tango finishing with Shostakovich’s Ninth Symphony,” he said.
“We’re expecting a sell-out when our home-grown Flying Fruit Fly Circus performs the acclaimed Circus Under My Bed in June, definitely one for the whole family to enjoy.” A Head Full of Love performs in July, while Reserved Seating Only sees the battle of the sexes with a mix of football. “Children of all ages also will have their share of fun this season, with Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts bringing some best-
loved books to life on stage. “They can also enjoy The Unknown Soldier by the Monkey Baa Theatre and Stripey the Eggscellent adventures of an Emu Chick from the book by Wendy Binks. “Our theatre season membership continues to give local audiences even greater benefits and flexibility.” Visit http://www.alburycity. nsw.gov.au/leisure-and-culture/ albury-entertainment-centre for more.

Vince is up to his old tricks Unfinished Business (MA15+) 1hr 31mins THERE is something about this film that rings wildly familiar with every other in Vince Vaughn’s career catalogue. That being said, you’ll already know if you will like this film before even setting foot in the cinema. This isn’t the type of film you want to see for an emotional and moving experience, or one you’d take your grandmother to see on an outing to the cinema. This is the type of film you put on after a hard day of work when you don’t feel like thinking, or when you’re curled up on Sunday morning on the lounge with little brain function
left after going a bit too hard on the free bar at your cousin’s wedding. While this film has been lambasted by almost every person who has seen it, Unfinished Business doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s a lowbrow, mindless comedy, and if that’s what you’re after, then you’re in luck. Vaughn plays a hard-working small business owner living the American dream. When a business deal requires a trip to Berlin, he travels with his two associates (Tom Wilkinson, Dave Franco) to close the most important deal of their lives. It starts off as a routine business trip, but of course, the plan doesn’t go smoothly and soon Vaughn and his team are left fighting to save themselves
from financial ruin. The audience will have to ride along with many European sterotypes that perhaps have already been covered in the 2004 flick Eurotrip, except from the point of view of someone beyond their college years and trying to keep his family together. This film isn’t offensively bad, it just fails to hit the mark of Vaughn’s earlier days. If the forced comedy that fell flat wasn’t an element, this film would have had the potential to be a nice, semi-serious film about personal reflection and raising a family in the 21st century. While Unfinished Business lives up to its name, pop in and check it out if you’re after something light-hearted. - ERIN SOMERVILLE

Satirist Dawe to bare all By TANIA PHILLIPS
BEST-KNOWN as one half of the much-loved Clarke and Dawe satirists on the ABC’s 7.30 Report - Bryan Dawe is a funny man. But he’s more than that as we’ll discover at the Cube on 26 March when he presents “The Satirist’s Journey An evening with Bryan Dawe”. The fund-raising evening is being presented by Upper Murray Family
Care and the Albury Wodonga Family Law Pathways Network. The event will raise funds for Trust in Kids “Giving Kids Opportunities to Grow Their Dreams". Trust in Kids is an initiative of UMFC. The fund is for children and young people up to 21 years who have limited opportunities because of family, social, financial or other individual circumstances. Some of these children are affected by issues relating to family
violence, mental health and drug and alcohol use. The fund is available for educational, social, recreational and cultural opportunities. The Satirist’s Journey is a highly amusing and deeply poignant story in which we learn about Bryan’s early influences, how he created his two endearing characters, Roly Parks and the outrageous doyen of The Melbourne Club, Sir Murray Rivers QC and the show concludes with an interview via
satellite with Bryan interviewing Sir Murray Rivers QC live from the Melbourne Club. Bryan Dawe is well known for his work with John Clarke. The pair also worked together on the highly successful ABC series The Games and Bryan has also appeared in a number of movies, the most well- known being the Australian cult classic The Castle. A respected photographer and social activist, Bryan has travelled throughout
Eastern and Western Europe, Persia and the Middle East. Bryan was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for his “service to the acting profession". Date: Thursday, 26 March, 2015 Time: 7pm Cost: $30 Bookings: Bookings essential: Tickets available by phone, in person or online.

Drumming is a sensation By TANIA PHILLIPS IT STARTED in Warren Lieberman’s loungeroom but Drumstruck has become a world-wide smashhit. And it’s not hard to see why. I mean where else do you get to hear 400 drummers at work all at once - and actually be a part of the performance. “Drumstruck”, was created by Warren and is directed by Kathy-Jo Ross. A compelling blend of soul stirring African rhythms, thrilling colourful dancing and the world’s most magnificent and uplifting voices. This is a night of traditional dancing, ornate sets and artfully painted performers adorned in radiant costumes providing a colourful and entertaining spectacle. And the unique thing is that the audience helps create the show with everyone participating in the show - taking part in the drumming sequences on their own African djembe drums. Drumstruck premiered in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002. The smash hit musical has played to sellout theatres receiving standing ovations at every venue, this unique phenomenon, rooted in African culture, is a thoroughly engaging spectacle that
provides the audience with pure interactive fun and entertainment that is perfect for the whole family. The “Drumstruck“ cast members have performed in front of dignitaries such as, Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, Queen Elizabeth, Nicole Kidman, Elton John, Richard Branson to name just a few. And they were invited performers for the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening ceremony.
Now South Africa’s Broadway sensation “Drumstruck“ - the world’s first interactive theatrical drumming experience - is returning to Australia from April to May 2015, proudly presented by Abstract Entertainment. Drumstruck Where: Albury Entertainment Centre When: Wednesday 22 April Interested?: Bookings: (02) 6043 5610

Homes&Property �� Albury Wodonga
It’s just as neat as they come YOU’LL be hard-pressed to find a unit or townhouse more spacious, modern, and impressive than this little beauty in East Albury. Beautifully finished, this three-bedroom property offers executive quality and style with beautiful finish and modern design. For those with a busy lifestyle or looking to downgrade, this townhouse is ideal, offering a large, light and open living space with little maintenance and the sense of security. Walking in, you’ll be wowed by the natural light seeping into the large and open-planned kitchen/dining/living area. The kitchen is magnificent, and boasts all the latest modern conveniences, including a dishwasher, double sink and four-top gas burner. And just because it’s a unit, doesn’t mean any space or luxuries are compromised, with

the kitchen even including a generous walk-in pantry. This is the room that keeps on giving, with a sliding door opening up onto an undercover private entertainment area. Sitting among the picture-perfect manicured garden, this area is a great place to have a few friends over for a drink to unwind on a Friday, relax with a book in the sunshine, or soak up some alfresco dining when the weather calls for it. The garden is small, but also is very private, and presents beautifully. With a great patch of lawn, easy maintanable gardens, and enough space to spread out in, it’s more than enough for those with a busy lifestyle. The bedrooms are all surprisingly large for a townhouse, and you won’t find many places that are so generous in size. Two of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, continuing to enhance the already great amount of space.
EAST ALBURY
The master suite is a real show-stopper, and proves that this unit is a step above the rest. With plenty of space, a walk-in wardrobe, and a top quality ensuite with a toilet, shower, and vanity, you’ll be won over. It is rare to find two bathrooms in a townhouse of such high-end quality. The main bathroom also has everything you need without the fuss, including a built-in bathtub, shower, vanity, and a separate toilet, all powered by the unit’s very own rainwater tank. The laundry is also very generous in size, and comes with plenty of storage, a sink, and even a linen cupboard. Another rare and outstanding feature of this townhouse is its two-car lock-up garage. This not only provides easy parking access, but gives plenty of storage space and even has internal and rear access.

Results mean good news for landlords WHILE rental vacancy rates in regional Victoria remained stable in early 2015, the rental market in Geelong tightened. And there was good news for investors with rents in all three main regional centres increasing. The January vacancy rate for regional Victoria, based on a sixmonth average trend, was 2.2 per cent, the same as in December last year. That was more favourable to landlords than the situation in Melbourne where the total vacancy rate was 3.1 per cent. While the vacancy rate in Geelong was 3.4 per cent, that was down from 3.7 per cent in December. Ballarat and Bendigo recorded a lower vacancy rate than Geelong - 2.8 per cent for both regional centres - but saw a slight increase in December, with Bendigo up from 2.7 per cent and Ballarat up from 2.6 per cent. Median house rents were up in all three centres and agents are reporting investor interest both from local and interstate investors, encouraged by the low interest rate environment. Geelong’s January median house rent of $350 was up from $335 in December. In Ballarat the median of $285 was up from $280 while in Bendigo there was a $15 rise to $305. The overall regional median
rent remained stable at $300. Unit rentals were a mixed bag - up from $280 to $295 in Geelong but in Ballarat, along with the easing in the vacancy rate, there was a fall in the median unit rental of $15, down to $235. Overall, the regional Victoria median for units remained at $250. January and February are traditionally a time of flux in the rental market - students return from holiday and many tenants use the new year as a time to change their living situation. Also some of those who sold in December but have not found a new home over the traditionally quiet summer find themselves in rental accommodation while house hunting. In Melbourne, there was a slight tightening in the rental vacancy rate over January and a slight fall - 0.3 per cent - in the median house rent. This was because of lower rents in the middle suburbs where vacancy rates were up in the second half of 2014. The outer suburbs of Melbourne have also been attracting investors. Vacancy rates there have been tight, ranging from 1.8 to 1.9 per cent over the past six months. Median house rents in the outersuburbs remained stable at $360 while outer suburban unit rents fell slightly from $320 to $315.

James McQuillan receives a cheque for $56,000.
IT was mainly a victory for the Border. With over 8000 spectators streaming into Lavington Sports Ground on Saturday, AFL fans watched Richmond cruise to a 66-point win against Port Adelaide in the NAB Challenge. The event marked the first major AFL game in the city for four years, and fans were not disappointed. Richmond is one of Melbourne’s biggest clubs and has a huge local following which overshadowed any Power support at the grounds.
Our photographer ADAM WILSON was at the match to catch all the AFL excitement in regional Australia. The game was also a winner for the James McQuillan Future Fund, which served as a fund-raiser for the local Tiger injured in a match early last year. The young Tiger was handed $56,000 to help with his ongoing rehabilitation and recovery costs. For more photos, see our online gallery at http://alburywodonga. starcommunity.com.au/

White and Popko steer side through to the big dance By TANIA PHILLIPS THE scene is set for a showdown between the two in-form teams in the Cricket Albury Wodonga Provincial first grade competition, with the grand final this weekend at Wodonga’s Les Cheesley Oval. East Albury will take on Tallangatta for the title from 1pm on Saturday after disposing off defending premiers Wodonga at the weekend. An unbeaten 115 by Alex Popko guided East Albury to 2/151 after restricting Wodonga to 150 at Alexandra Park. Best for Wondonga were Dan Dixon (80 not out) and B.J. Garvey with 32 while East Albury’s Cameron White was the hero with the ball with 5/38 while Kris Millosta took
2-23 and Chris Bridle 2-28. Their opponents earned their position in the final defeating last year’s losing grand finalists St Patrick’s at Xavier Oval. St Patrick’s scored a respectable 221 with Nicholas Flood topscoring with 73, Luke Restall 60 and Andrew Lade 27. Tallangatta’s bowlers showed fine form though James Weighell taking 4-51, Clint Reig 3-18 and Ned McCormack 2-29. In reply, Tallangatta took the game seven-wickets down with James Weighell hero with the bat and the ball, scoring a solid 56 and Mat Armstrong 59, while Torquill McKillop joined in with 48 and Kane Arendarcikas took 3-30 for St Patrick’s and Jon Shaw 2-43.
