Life of PI [PG]

Commencing 10th January

Commencing new year’s day

Norman has never quite been understood by anyone. To most, including his parents and cheerleader sister, the 13-year-old boy is a peculiar outcast. However, Norman’s harboring a secret - he can communicate with the dead. When a centuries-old witch’s curse unleashes an array of undead beasts onto his small New England town, Norman is their only hope for survival, battling ghosts, witches and zombies while dealing with the ignorant humans who don’t understand him.

A man named Pi tells a story that occurred when he was 16. When his family decides to move their zoo from India to Canada, Pi winds up as the only human survivor of the tragic sinking of a cargo ship. On the sea in a lifeboat, he’s accompanied by the other survivors—a zebra with a broken leg, a hyena, a female orangutan and a 450-pound aggressive Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. The hyena eats the zebra and then the orangutan. After the tiger eats the hyena, Pi tries catching ﬁsh to feed the tiger so he won’t get eaten himself. When ofﬁcials from the Maritime department don’t believe his story, Pi changes it. This time, he’s adrift in a lifeboat with his mother, a sailor with a broken leg, and the ship’s cook, who kills the sailor and Pi’s mother.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Theft leaves mum in limbo

Four-year-old Josh Thompson places a present under the a Target Christmas tree for less fortunate children.

By TREVOR JACKSON

THE criminal element in Wodonga has struck again. And the latest victim is one of our newest residents, African refugee Honorina Naomba. After 14 years in a refugee camp Honorina was given the all-clear to bring her three children to Australia, seeking a better and safer life. Her husband had died while in the camp, so she was to face a new culture with her children alone. Within 12 months of living in Wodonga, Honorina’s house was broken into and a laptop computer stolen. She had saved scrupulously to purchase the laptop and had been using it to educate herself about her new home, to improve her English, and to study for her driving test. But just last week a thief smashed a side window of her home, took the laptop and escaped through a rear door. Presents sitting under the Christmas tree were left untouched, as was the remainder of her property, but the laptop meant a lot to Honorina. Her twin daughters are to begin high school next year and were also sharing the laptop to improve their education and assimilation into their adopted country. Honorina says she likes the community in Wodonga and was grateful to be living in Australia. And despite the setback she simply said: “Life goes on”. Considering what Honorina has endured in her life, a stolen laptop is probably a minor issue, but as a new resident to this country, it was obviously a tool she’d been using to great advantage, one she’d never previously had the chance to own, and one she cannot afford to replace. Wodonga’s Acting Senior Sergeant

Honorina Naomba said thieves broke in through a window to steal her laptop computer. Shane Martin said residential burglaries in the last 12 months were up 23 per cent, while the last six months figures were up around 15 per cent. He said while those figures weren’t directly related to the Christmas period, this was the time of year residents needed to remain vigilant. “Every year people have presents in the house, and obviously thieves know that,” he said. “People need to be a bit more careful and make sure everything is locked up and a bit more secure before they leave the house. “This however appears to have been an opportunistic theft, and it’s a shame it’s happened to one our newer refugee residents.” He said Wodonga police were increasing patrols and visibility but said

one of the best ways to deter such activity was simply to meet your neighbours. “Knock on the door and introduce yourself to your neighbours,” he suggested. “Look after each other. If people see strangers going into houses they’re more likely to ring the police if they know their neighbours. “They might take that extra time to see what is going on and be a bit more vigilant.” Anyone witnessing a crime is advised to ring Triple-zero, or if they believe they see suspicious behaviour, they can call Wodonga police station on 02 6049 2600. Those who feel they have relevant information about a crime can call Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000.

Spirit of giving in demand By KRYSTEN MANUEL MANY children across the Border may wake up without presents this Christmas if people don’t start placing more presents under the trees at Target Albury and Wodonga. UnitingCare Wodonga and St. David’s UnitingCare Albury have both indicated that the slow flow of donated gifts this year was causing concern, as the need far outstrips the supply available. “Both agencies are very appreciative of the generosity of the public to date, but our list of needy families is growing rapidly so more gifts are being sought,” UnitingCare Wodonga chairman Ian Bedford said.

Mr Bedford said that the appeal in Wodonga was a combined effort involving UnitingCare Wodonga, the Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul. “With the growth in the number of children on our list, we are particularly seeking gifts for children in the nine to 12 age group, and also for teenagers,” Mr Bedford said. Co-ordinator UnitingCare Wodonga, Alison Prenter reminds residents that a little gift makes a big difference. “It’s through the generosity of our neighbours that many families and individuals can enjoy the pleasure of a Christmas gift,” she said.

THERE is always a lot of reflection around this time of year. Many, as they gather with family and friends around the lunch or dinner table on Christmas Day, will reflect on the year that has usually flown by. A few days later, many will set or reaffirm life goals as part of the tradition of New Yearโ s resolutions. We glance back ... and look forward. It is said a good newspaper reflects the com-

DENTURES BY DESIGN

munity it serves and we at the NewsWeekly can look back on another good year. Alburyโ s landscape was forever changed in July when the Allied Mills and silos were demolished. We were there as crowds flocked to witness first-hand the changes over a period of weeks. The opening of The Cube in Wodonga was a major highlight as council pushed to improve facilities. Wodonga Council also received a shake-up at election time, which saw a 18-year-old Eric Kerr take office. On the sporting scene there was a fairytale ending to a stellar season for incoming coach Brad Chalmers, taking his beloved Bandits to the SEABL final and bringing home the ultimate prize, after 10 years in the wilderness. Heading into 2013, we at the News Weekly

are looking forward with great optimism as we strive to continue to inform and entertain our many readers. And we have a big change to announce. Next year the News Weekly will arrive in the letterbox a lot earlier. In order to better service our readers and advertisers, we will now publish on a Wednesday. This not only means you will get your news two days earlier, but it gives us the opportunity to advertise retail specials ahead of the weekend and give readers more notice of weekend activities. This is the last Friday edition and we look forward to hitting the streets again on Wednesday 16 January. The News Weekly would like to wish its readers and advertisers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Grace tells ’em how it is By KRYSTEN MANUEL

Lifeline for cultural learning Baraparapa Elder Esther Kirby wearing a possum skin cloak, photographed by Sarah Rhodes.

By KRYSTEN MANUEL THE NSW Government has announced $17,275 funding for arts projects in Albury as part of the 2013 Country Arts Support Program administered by Regional Arts NSW. Member for Albury, Greg Aplin said the projects would encourage communities to work together to develop and participate in cultural activities. “They will also bring social and economic benefits to the community through training and skills development,” he said, Minister for the Arts, George Souris, said the funding demonstrated the NSW Government’s commitment to supporting arts and cultural activities in NSW. He said the funding would increase the opportunity for people living and working in regional communities to participate in arts and cultural activities.. Albury Library Museum has received $3000 towards a cultural exchange program run through the Albury City Library Museum for Year 8 and 9 Aboriginal students - ‘On Country: what does your land mean to you?’. Albury Art Gallery and Library Musem exhibitions co-ordinator, Jules Boag, said the program included an exhibition by photographer Sarah Rhodes, workshops for local children and commissioning for photographs of local Aboriginal elder, Nancy Rooke. “It’s fantastic,” Mr Boag said. “It’s great to get this funding to do workshops along with the exhibition. “The workshops are aimed at Aboriginal kids, so it’s a really tailored program, getting them to

work with some indigenous elders as mentors, getting them to think about what ‘country’ means to them, and getting them to ask other groups in the community what ‘country’ means to them. “We’ve got a fairly diverse group here in Albury, everything from refugees - new and old, people that have migrated from England, people who have lived in Australia grew up in Australia. “We absolutely depended on the funding. The exhibition was planned to go ahead anyway and during that exhibition we’re actually commissioning some photographs for the series of our local elders with their possum skin cloaks,” Mr Boag said. “Part of that is the artist (Sarah Rhodes) coming to Albury and engaging with our local community, in particular photographing Nancy Rooke.” Photographer Sarah Rhodes said she was looking forward to the next addition to her collection. She has photographed eight Aboriginal elders wearing the cloak at home and on country. Nancy Rooks will be the ninth elder in the series of the 36 language groups that wore the cloak to the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in 2006. “They wore the cloak for the Queen to show their culture,” Ms Rhodes said. “It gave them a lot of pride. “It shows the challenges that Aboriginal people have to negotiate between living in a Western society in a home, and living on country and being in touch with their traditional culture,” she said. “Nancy is an amazing woman who has contributed a lot to the Albury community.”

FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD Grace Edwards has been named one of only six winners from Victoria in the Annual Heywire competition for budding writers. Entrants are asked to write creatively about issues they want brought up at the Regional Youth Summit, with winning stories featured on ABC Radio broadcasts. Grace is from Rutherglen and wrote with heart-warming compassion and truth about living in a rural community with a sister who has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, an intellectual disability and who is blind. “I wrote about living with a sister with four disabilities,” she said. “Living in the country and travelling to Melbourne for her was hard when I had other things to deal with. “Living in the city would have been easier when we were younger rather than travelling so far for her surgery, it was hard.” “She’s our family’s miracle - she’s a role model,” Grace said. “She inspires me and she made me the person I am today.” Heywire has shared the stories, ideas and aspirations of regional youth with Australian audiences through the ABC over the past 15 years. ABC Radio director Kate Dundas, says that Heywire continued to go from strength to strength. “Heywire stories are unique,” she said. “They get to the heart of what it is to be a young person growing up in a regional community; sometimes arresting, sometimes humorous, but always inspiring and engaging. “This year’s winners continue to tell it like it is and smash the stereotypes of what it is to be a regional youth.” Winners from each State and Territory will

During the week-long summit, participants will be involved in leadership and community building activities, and will network with members of parliament, government and community leaders.

By KRYSTEN MANUEL THE Chiltern Christmas light-up was a sparkling success, despite patchy weather. Buskers, local singers, a free sausage sizzle and plenty of community spirit helped raise money for the Chiltern Emergency Services. Indigo Shire Mayor Barbara Murdoch led the countdown, with the switching on of the lights going off without a hitch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The light-up was wonderful, we were worried to start with but by the time the lights went on it was fine,â&#x20AC;? organiser Andrea Excell said. Mrs Excell and her husband Glenn have been dressing their home with festive flair for 18 years in Melbourne, but brought the show

Mrs Excell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People came from Albury and further, everyone said how fantastic it was, we had about 300 people come through to see the lights on the night.â&#x20AC;? Another fund-raiser for the Chiltern Emergency Services will be held on 15 December, a family party night.

Ambo â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;penny-pinchingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By TREVOR JACKSON NEW roster systems are failing NSW Ambulance paramedics and the general public alike, according to the NSW Health Services Union. The union says â&#x20AC;&#x153;penny-pinchingâ&#x20AC;? by the State Government is putting lives at risk, and the same scenario could unfold in the Border region. According to the union, recent changes to the roster system on the NSW South Coast have seen station

closures and delayed responses. And while no changes to the Albury roster are current, local Liberal member of parliament MP Greg Aplin says Corowa and Holbrook are scheduled for roster changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly in the new year theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking at those areas,â&#x20AC;? union secretary Gerard Hayes told NewsWeekly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at the rostering right across the state. Changing rosters and spreading things unbelievably thin

is not going to deliver the outcomes they want.â&#x20AC;? But Mr Hayes stopped short of lumping the blame on the ambulance service, saying the State Government had a lot to answer for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The blame for this is directly on the government,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ambulance service is doing what they can with what they have, but they have a responsibility to manage the service - that means speak to the

Show us the money

government and tell them they need the funding that is required.â&#x20AC;? Mr Aplin said while Corowa and Holbrook were due to be reviewed, 24hour stations such as Albury were not in the firing line. He said a non-compliance policy by the union, trying to work up concerns in the media and the general public was behind the problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole reason itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (roster changes) been undertaken is to reduce

fatigue due to the long rosters that have been in place,â&#x20AC;? Mr Aplin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been through the Industrial Relations Commission which were all in favour of the reforms.â&#x20AC;? Mr Aplin noted the problem with paramedic fatigue had been identified as far back as 2008 and said the changes were brought about by the IRC to reduce the fatigue levels and overtime expenditure.

Art Gallery Redevelopment is in limbo after the State Government has failed to foot its share of the bill. The $10.5 million Albury Regional Art Gallery Redevelopment was originally a Tripartite funding arrangement between Albury City, and the state and federal governments. The State Government has yet to contribute its share, leaving the council to decide whether to pull the plug on the project or cough up the extra $3.5 million. $ # ! " ! At a meeting held on Wednesday to discuss residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns, resident ! ! Bill Forge urged the council not to support the project due to its current $53 $ ! " million debt.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the arts community is fully represented here tonight, the working class families of Albury, Thurgoona and Lavington are at home,â&#x20AC;? Mr Forge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This brochure presented to the art gallery presents only one argument and that is for the development of the precinct. You mentioned that you have $53 million worth of debt. I would suggest that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying somewhere in the order of $4 million a year in interest on that debt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without a debt you could fund this project in its entirety in three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recommend the council take particular notice of the interest thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paid out of council revenue on interest alone

' ( # % & $ $ ! $ # " $ ! $ ! ! $

and we should be looking at consolidating that debt down to nothing.â&#x20AC;? Resident Dot Williams agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not many people who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been fronted up somewhere with their children asking for something and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to say â&#x20AC;&#x2122;sorry, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, things are bad.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to realise that the times are bad and that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford this. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many other things to pay for, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not happy to pay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the gallery itself is wonderful, but if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it!â&#x20AC;? But Mary-Jane Griggs, a resident since 1988, urged the council to pay the extra money for the redevelopment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a very happy ratepayer. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also an artist and have also been a tertiary art teacher in this city since â&#x20AC;&#x2122;89.

Being an art educator, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to stress that if we get this art gallery redevelopment happening, the education of our future adults as well as our future creative people is going to be met a lot more efficiently and richly,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an artist, we have to live by the glass half full and I really want to see our council have the confidence to go forward, for heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake!â&#x20AC;? Audray Banfield, a past director of Albury Regional Art Gallery, said the place was rich with cultural activity and the art gallery could enhance that a hundredfold if they just had a little more space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run away with the idea that art is only for the elite - art is for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need this for the cultural heri-

tage of the country, and for the young people, particularly if TAFE is under threat, we need the art gallery even more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you naysayers, just you remember the great world figures who said â&#x20AC;&#x2122;spend your way out of troubleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and just do it!â&#x20AC;? According to Albury City acting general manager, Michael Keats, when questioned about the funding that was promised to the gallery, the State Government simply said â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have no money.â&#x20AC;? The council will need to make their decisions regarding whether to go ahead and how by February next year in order to have the project completed before the Federal Government pulls their $3.5 million.

Border residents urged to give life

Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Market Lavington

Now Open

Jana Leseberg, Cathy Chapman, Catherine Taylor, Amanda Cautela and Sergio De Marchi are urging Border residents to get down to the Albury Blood Bank and donate blood this holiday season. THE Red Cross Blood Service is urging people on the Border to give the gift of life this Christmas by giving blood. Albury Blood Donor Centre needs around 450 blood donors and 450 plasma donors this December to secure blood stocks for patients over the festive season. Around 150 blood and 120 plasma appointments at the Albury Blood Donor Centre still need filling, with Christmas, New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve and the days between still only lightly booked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know Christmas is an important time for local border residents to spend with family and friends, but spare a thought for the many Australians who have a loved one in hospital and in need of blood, with the hope of spending another Christmas together,â&#x20AC;? Albury Blood Donor Centre spokesperson Cathy Chapman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For them, the perfect Christmas gift would be blood; the gift of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With two public holidays and a weekend, it is vital that Albury Wodonga donors make an appointment to give blood this December to help boost blood stocks.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It only takes an hour of your time and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ensuring someone else can enjoy the holiday

season with their loved ones.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every donation helps to save as many as three lives, and Christmas is the perfect time to give back to the community.â&#x20AC;? To make an appointment call 13 14 95 or visit www.donateblood.com.au Hours of operation of the Albury Blood Donor Centre are as follows: Wednesday 19 December 1.30pm - 7.30pm Thursday 20 December 9am - 2.30pm Friday 21 December 7.30am - 11.30am Saturday 22 December CLOSED Sunday 23 December CLOSED Monday 24 December 8am - 2pm Tuesday 25 December CLOSED Wednesday 26 December CLOSED Thursday 27 December 9am - 2.30pm Friday 28 December 7.30am - 11.30am Saturday 29 December 8am - 11am Sunday 30 December CLOSED Monday 31 December 8am - 2pm Tuesday 1 January CLOSED Wednesday 2 January 1.30pm - 7.30pm

Fire impacts still hurting families A REPORT has shown that suicide and domestic violence has seriously affected men and their families after the Black Saturday bushfires. Emergency Management and Women’s Health have joined forces in a world-first pilot study to help agencies and services be better equipped to support men before, during and after disasters. Women’s Health Goulburn North East researchers, Debra Parkinson and Claire Zara conducted research with women and workers post Black Saturday to ascertain if family violence increased after the fires. The report ‘The way he tells it: relationships after Black Saturday’ (2012) stated relationships were seriously affected after Black Saturday’ 2012 and found that for some women and families, family violence increased as a result of stress. “For some women, family violence was a totally new experience post bush fires,” Ms Parkin-

son said. “For others, it escalated.” Research suggested ample reason for concern within the emergency management sector for men’s lack of engagement in services, despite the consequences that appeared to be triggered by the fires. The pilot research program, ‘What about the men? Men’s experience of health and well-being during and after Black Saturday’ is supported by funding provided by the Australian Government in partnership with the States and Territories under the Natural Disaster Resilience Program. The researchers plan to conduct interviews in February 2013. For support contact Mensline on: 1300 789 978 or the men’s referral service on 1800 065 973. If you or someone you know is experiencing family violence contact Family Violence Crisis Services on 1800 015 188.

Pets killed with kindness By KRYSTEN MANUEL

WE know it’s not good for pets to eat human food, but year after year, many pet owners across the Border spoil their fourlegged-friends with Christmas lunch. Once a year won’t hurt your animal, right? Wrong. Every year pets across the country, especially dogs, spend their Christmas at the local vets being treated with issues such as pancreatitis and gastritis - not a very merry Christmas after all. NewsWeekly asked a couple of local vets to share on the issue. “We do get food related illnesses occurring at Christmas time, not just from chocolate toxicity but also from animals which are already subject to things like pancreatitis,” said Family Vet Centre veterinarian, Dr Peter Lee. “We often have animals getting tummy upsets with some vomiting and diarrhoea from food they are not used to or is too rich for them, that often includes pork products.” Hume Animal Hospital veterinarian, Dr Selma Fuijkschot, said she sees more pets with diet related illness around this time of year not only due to Christmas lunch, but barbecues in the lead-up to the holidays.

What not to feed your dog:

Holding out on feeding your animal at Christmas is kinder in the long run.

“It’s Christmas and it’s summertime, so people tend to have more barbecues and give the dogs (usually it’s dogs) scraps off the table. Those sorts of scraps tend to be a bit too fatty for the dogs,” she said. “If dogs consume a lot of fatty foods, it puts a lot of pressure on the pancreas because it releases enzymes that will break down the fat, the pancreas goes into overdrive and then becomes infected. “This is one of the problems leading to a dog getting pancreatitis. “If it’s very severe it can lead to liver-

related problems.” Both vets urge pet owners to ‘say no to the puppy-dog eyes,’ and only feed pets food designed for them. “What the dogs ideally need is a normal diet, normal timing, normal amounts,” Dr Lee said. “Dried liver treats are great, you’re going for low-fat treats.” Dr Fuijkschot is in favour of Christmas themed treats. “You can get dog specific Christmas related treats, so then we know it’s safe for the dog,” she said.

Notice of Investigation Investigation into Additional Prospecting Areas in Parks On 25 October 2012 the Minister for Environment and Climate Change requested the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council (VEAC) to carry out an investigation into additional prospecting areas in parks. The purpose of the investigation is to make recommendations on which areas (in general terms) of the following parks could be made available for recreational prospecting:

In addition to the considerations in section 18 of the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council Act 2001, the Council must take into consideration that the overall objective of the investigation is to increase the number of parks under the National Parks Act 1975 where prospecting may be permitted.

Academic excellence celebrated LAST week saw the 114th annual Graduation and Awards Presentation for the Albury Campus of TAFE NSW Riverina Institute, where academic excellence of graduating students was eagerly acknowledged. Family and friends turned out to congratulate 725 graduates who completed TAFE studies ranging from statement of attainments, to certificates and diplomas. A delighted cheer was given to Campus Outstanding Student of the Year James Westra, who graduated with a Diploma of Information Technology Networking. He has been described as “a very competent and keen student, always willing to help his fellow students and teachers”.

The efforts of 31 individual students were also honoured with awards that recognise academic excellence, dedication and application to study, outstanding achievement, greatest improvement, and commitment. “To recognise the success of our students with their family, friends and employers I am sure it gives all concerned a proud feeling of achievement,” Brian Millar, Director Business, Arts and Service Industries said. “We continuously work with agencies and industry to identify local training and education needs, develop initiatives and strategies to implement our programs in a manner that will provide the greatest flexibility and benefit to achieve most sustainable outcomes.

“Vocational education and training provides the skills for our workplaces and it also provides the employability skills, the enabling skills, the underpinning skills which allow people to fulfil their own needs as well as those of the industries in which they work,” Riverina Institute Director Kerry Penton said. “We believe ‘Customer First’ is an essential value and our students are front and centre of that commitment. It is why we are here today.” 2012 Outstanding Student of the Year James Westra will be invited to represent the Albury Campus at the Riverina Institute Awards for Excellence which will be held in Wagga Wagga on 22 March.

A year of achievement WITH the 114th annual Graduation and Awards presentation of Albury Campus over, Director Business, Arts and Service Industries Brian Millar reflected on another successful year. He noted the growth of the skill base on campus and the continued collaboration with outside stakeholders to ensure the best outcomes for all involved at the Albury campus. “This year, over 5,000 students enrolled at our Albury Campus, in a large range of course areas including Apprenticeship and Traineeship programs covering 14 different trade and industry areas,” he said. “We have also assisted many students of our local and regional schools who joined us for their TVET programs, and a fantastic range of certificate, diploma and advanced diploma programs. “2012 has seen a number of highlights for the Albury Campus with the Riverina Murray World Skills team led by one of our head teachers taking out a gold medal in plumbing, a silver medal in PC support and the Evatt Shield for the best performing region in Australia at the recent National World Skills competition. Our Albury campus gold medal winning plumber is off to the International World Skills event in Ger-

many next Year. “The Campus building program continues with the Campus Learning Commons construction about to commence. This project is investing $8m into our local economy and strengthens our commitment to provide state of the art facilities to our students, staff and the region. “We have again seen a growth in the number of students completing Certificate IV, diploma and advanced diploma programs. We believe this is evidence that we are supporting local and regional skill development to assist in the growth and prosperity of our region. “This year we have continued to assist many students through our enrolments in the Adult Migrant English program. “We continue to work closely with our Apprenticeship Centre and Job Service Provider partners to ensure we are providing the Vocational Education and Training to support the needs of our local industry and beyond as we deliver programs nationally and internationally. “Our relationship with MICEEP continues to strengthen as they assist our young students with finding work placements and in growing the links between School and further Vocational

Education and Training. “The Vocational Education and Training sector is currently undergoing significant change. Training in the sector has never been so closely linked to employment outcomes as it is today, and that is a positive thing. The challenge is to provide the courses that meet local and individual needs but with a real employment focus attached. “For some of our graduates, this is the first qualification achieved, for others it is the latest of many. In all cases, it represents a real achievement in balancing work, family and other competing demands, and it has been inspired by a determination to return to work, a promotion, a career change or to improve life and the lives of others. “Our graduates should all be acknowledged for their decision to undertake study and their determination to complete their course and to succeed. We also must acknowledge support from their families, partners, friends, and very importantly for many of our graduates, their employers. “I particularly want to thank our teachers and administrative staff who, in the midst of significant change, have worked tirelessly throughout the year to support our students.”

Welcome to Dhurany which means ‘news’ in Wiradjuri language. Another year has passed and we are all looking forward to a sun-filled summer shared with friends and family. The focus of Dhurany for this edition is to highlight the outcome of a community consultation day that saw approximately 120 Aboriginal community members attend and discuss the serious issues of employment, health, education, youth, elders, justice, transport, men’s leadership and housing.

The forum, held on 22 November was a laugh out loud day thanks to the wonderfully funny Kevin Kropinyeri who helped the diverse range of participants balance their serious discussions with a look at contemporary Aboriginal humour. The Community Working Party met just this week to review and assess the feedback and comments made during the forum and expect to present the outcomes to a CWP meeting in March 2013. These outcomes will form the basis of a new CWP strategic plan that has support of mainstream agencies.

AWAHS new board INTRODUCING DR LOVE TO FUTURE UNI STUDENTS Hi, I’m Dr Peƫna Love. I am the new Indigenous Student Services Oĸcer at La Trobe University Albury-Wodonga Campus. I am a local Aboriginal woman and I am related to the Wenberg, Mercy, Hookey, Penrith, and Roberts families. I grew up in Tumut and went to high school in Albury. I then travelled overseas and around Australia before starƟng my family. I have ve children, seven stepchildren, and have been with my husband for 20 years. I returned to study someƟme in the 90’s and studied Koori Community Management and Development, followed by HorƟculture at Wodonga TAFE. Anyway, that was all ages ago. Since then I enrolled and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree (Environmental Management and Ecology) from La Trobe University Albury-Wodonga Campus, went on to do honours in Applied Science at the University of Canberra invesƟgaƟng the “DecomposiƟon of re-aīected Eucalyptus viminalis leaves in a freshwater ecosystem” and then completed my PhD Ɵtled “SpaƟal and Temporal CharacterisƟcs of Arsenic in the Bogong Moth (AgroƟs infusa)” back at La Trobe University Albury-Wodonga Campus. It is graƟfying to know that my research has made a diīerence, both to the local Indigenous community and the scienƟc community. For over a decade it was widely believed that the Bogong Moth, a cultural icon and a bush food, was contaminated with arsenic due to the use of agricultural pesƟcides. However, aŌer four years of research I can condently state that the Bogong Moth is not contaminated. The moth is just ne and conƟnues to be a fantasƟc bush food. The journey that studying at the university level has taken me on has been exciƟng, confronƟng, rewarding, revealing, challenging and, above all else, fun. And this journey isn’t over. Over the next year I have a number of journal arƟcles to publish, some lecturing to deliver, and I’m embarking on my next great adventure; mentoring Indigenous students on their journeys studying at La Trobe University AlburyWodonga Campus. I’m looking forward to being able to share the things I’ve learned along the way about coping with, enjoying and succeeding at university. So, if you are thinking of studying at university feel free to give me a call and we can have a chat about how to start your journey and what to expect along the way.

Andy Lutz pays tribute to the Aussie icon band, Cold Chisel.

Chisel stands test of time By KRYSTEN MANUEL

THERE aren’t too many tribute bands who have stood the test of time like Gold Chisel. On the go for nearly 13 years, both the band and their fans haven’t come close to tiring yet. “Originally I thought we’d get a couple of years out of it, but it’s been getting bigger and bigger and bigger,” Gold Chisel lead singer, Andy Lutz said. “People wanted to hear the great Cold Chisel music that no-one’s playing any more and that’s when Gold Chisel came in - we’re keeping the legend alive. “This year the shows have pretty much sold out, we’ll have been going for 13 years in February and we’re still going strong.” Gold Chisel humbly attribute their success to their idols and their unique, timeless sound.

“Cold Chisel is about as Australian as what kangaroos and Vegemite are- its part of Australian culture,” Mr Lutz said. “It’s just great that people still embrace that great Aussie rock sound. They (Cold Chisel) released a new album last year and it was nominated for ARIAs. “Cold Chisel were in their heyday back in the ’80s and they still have that massive appeal. “Fans range from 18 to 60, it’s a really wide cross-section of people.” Having played for crowds ranging in size right up to 7000, Gold Chisel have just the right balance between highlighting similarities to Cold Chisel and ‘having fun with it.’ With a true value and respect for their craft and everything that goes with it, Gold Chisel aren’t looking like slowing down any time soon. “We’re serious about getting the true

Box office

Cold Chisel sound and reproducing the songs as close to the real thing as what we can,” Mr Lutz said. “At the same, time I think you have to have a bit of fun with it. You’re doing a job and playing a part on stage the same as an actor goes on and plays a policeman. “We’ve been able to experience great parts of the country because of what we do. It’s something we don’t take for granted. “I have met a few of the guys in the band since we’ve been doing this - Ian Moss, Phil Small, they didn’t have a problem with us doing it whatsoever, as long as we don’t make more money out of it than what they did! And we play in a lot of the same venues as what Jimmy does.” Gold Chisel is playing a free event at the SS&A Club, Albury on Friday 28 December at 9pm.

Conversation over Clint By KRYSTEN MANUEL MOVIE: Trouble with the Curve DURATION: 110 minutes AFTER a string of unsatisfying films and some rough reviews, I decided to take someone with me who has critiqued my recent reviews with equal harshness. I personally love Clint Eastwood, though Leanne was not as enthusiastic about the actor. And so we sat in the cinema and took it all in ... Leanne: “I liked the way the storyline developed. It started off reasonably ordinary.” Krysten: “I thought it started off very slow. I was uninterested for a fair portion of the movie.” Leanne: “I thought it was another ordinary old baseball story again, but I like the way they developed the characters, particularly Mickey and Gus. It

was more about their relationship than baseball. “It had a good ending, they both learnt things about themselves along the way. Krysten: “It did come together well, it tied up loose ends. “How did you think it compared to other Clint Eastwood movies?” Leanne: “It was a very different part for him to play from the old guns and Dirty Harry ones. “He always plays the character that doesn’t express a lot of emotion, but this time there was much more insight into the character that he played. “His past characters don’t really appeal to me.” Krysten: “What about in comparison to Gran Torino?” Leanne: “I think his character was more real in this one.” Krysten: “I think when you look at

Gran Torino and this, it’s basically the same character, but they have a different job and a different house. “The storyline wasn’t as solid, it didn’t engage you enough with themes and issues. It developed the characters slowly, but there were some really corny bits in it. “There were parts where, for example when Mickey and Johnny paid the busker and I thought ‘if they start dancing, then that’s just lame,’ then of course they started dancing. “The humour wasn’t as good as in Gran Torino. His dryness wasn’t as dry, he wasn’t sarcastic enough.” Leanne: “I liked the character development more. Once it got going the characters took on a real identity. “I enjoyed it overall. I wouldn’t call it a great movie, but it was a good movie.”

New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fireworks By KRYSTEN MANUEL

THE Wodonga Raiders are hosting the second Wodonga Family Fireworks Spectacular, and this year it comes at the right price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had a $10 entry, but this year we have decided to have free entry for in the community,â&#x20AC;? general manager of Wodonga Raiders Sports Club, Greg Dawson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found last year that although we had good numbers, about 2000 attended the event, there was a lot of people who did just park in the car park and stand on the outside just to watch the fireworks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the idea is that we would like those people to come into the ground and enjoy the atmosphere and be a part of it as well.â&#x20AC;? People are welcome to bring their own food, chairs, blankets or sun shelter, but strictly no BYO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entertainment will start at 6pm,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dawson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the Gardners Entertainment with all their rides - the cha cha, merry-go-rounds for the littlies, dodgem cars for the teenagers, plenty of jumping castles, trains, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be plenty on hand to keep people occupied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also got Stevie Bowenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Entertainment doing the DJ-ing on the night. DJ Mike is going to be hosting the event and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have plenty of entertainment and music for everyone there.â&#x20AC;? The Fireworks Spectacular is held at Birallee Park this New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve. Gates open at 5pm.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONEâ&#x20AC;Ś Zokki the kangaroo entertains the children at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve fireworks.

Albury Wodonga

All aboard for SUV push By TREVOR JACKSON THE SUV market in Australia continues to grow and those looking to jump aboard have a plethora of options to choose from. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reviewed a couple of compact SUVs this year and liked what I saw to a point. Personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a fan of the concept, but there are plenty of motorists out there who are. Enter Mitsubishiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Outlander. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a family SUV to haul the kids around during the week and explore a little on the weekends, this could be well worth a look. My test vehicle was the high-end Aspire model, fitted with luscious leather trim and plenty of creature comforts to keep the family happy. Outside new body styling has, in my opinion, given the Outlander far more appeal, with a smooth, rounded finish. Inside, wood-grain-look dash and front door inserts add a nice touch while piano-black finish surrounds the centre dash area, housing, among other items, a large touchscreen that doubles as a reverse camera display. The touch screen provides settings for various functions including the stereo with all the usual modern features. And to add further appeal, seven seats provide ample space for the large family to enjoy weekends away together in comfort. The seats can be folded in various configurations depending on load requirements, creating space for the weekly shopping or sporting activities

on the weekend. The new model has has been touted as the best yet, and with a diesel motor offering drivers a far more frugal experience, the Aspire is set to take a big chunk of the market share. The 2.2-litre power plant has been a major focus, especially with its 5.8L/100km claim. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying, diesel motors fitted to family vehicles have come a long way, albeit with some consideration to be allowed for extra engine noise. But one of the first things I noticed when firing up the Outlander was little noise intrusion into the cabin. Mitsubishi have obviously thought long and hard on this point to provide a more user-friendly experience. Coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission, the Outlander lopes along with little fuss, and when pressured around town, fires up to provide ample acceleration. Entering the Hume Freeway created no problems, with acceleration to the legal limit effortless, and once dialled in with the cruise control, the Aspire holds its speed with ease. It sits on the road well for a large SUV, again with minimal noise intrusion. As an SUV, all-wheel-drive is obviously a major feature of the Aspire. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a true four-wheel-drive as such, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m assured it provides ample traction for its designated target market. A couple of options are available here - an auto setting for normal driv-

ing and a 4WD Lock setting, for when the going gets a little tougher. An economy mode is available for even more frugal operation, and the dashboard graphic helps keep drivers aware of how their driving habits are affecting fuel economy. For the safety minded, the Outlander recently received a Five-Star rating, with extra features available

4x4

via a premium pack on the top-of-theline model such as Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) and Adaptive Cruise Control. Using radar technology, these features will apply the brakes to help prevent or reduce the effects of a collision and keep a pre-determined distance between you and the car in front. While nothing can prevent all acci-

dents, I experienced this feature on a Subaru Liberty earlier in the year and have to say I was impressed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply a matter of shelling out the extra cash for the peace-of-mind. All-in-all the new Outlander seems to be a winner, and while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my cup of tea, it will no doubt appeal to the large family looking for comfort, style and safety.

THEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S nothing quite as refreshing as a long cool drink after a day in the bush, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like having fresh food with you on a long trip. No longer is an esky with ice the ideal solution. A fridge/freezer it the easy solution to make sure your trip is enjoyable. You will find everything from compact units you can slip between the front seats and carry with one hand through to big 100 litre plus units with separate fridge, freezer and dairy compartments, and handy 40, 50, 60 litre weekend away models. The range you select will be determined by whether you are heading off for a day out or a few weeks away in Central Australia. These days there are new brands and models coming on the market mainly through China. Beware of cheaper versions which may look similar to established reliable brands, but the internal components could be different. Spare parts and service agent networks are another matter worthy of consideration before purchasing. If you are running a fridge for any length of time you should really get a dual battery system installed. Dual battery systems deliver 12 volt energy to suit your specific needs, budget and expectations. Are you running lights, or do you need an invertor to run the hair dryer or charge the mobile phone or the iPad? Sometimes the whole power thing can seem complicated for serious campers and caravanners. We recommend you seek an experienced and knowledgeable 4WD store.

They will give you the relevant information, correct advice, supply and install a system best suited to your needs. There are a few accessories you can add to your fridge to improve efficiency. A fridge slider will get easier access to your food and drinks. The fridge locks in securely while you are travelling and glides out for easy opening so you do not have to juggle luggage or lift it out. Another good addition is a fridge bag which is insulated and helps food and drinks stay cooler longer with less power draw. A thermometer can also be installed

in the front of your vehicle to keep an eye on the temperature of your fridge. Another advantage of having a fridge installed in your 4WD is the convenience for everyday shopping during the hot summer months. Simply put any perishables straight into the fridge and continue your shopping without needing to rush home. Remember, keep cool this festive season with a fridge to suit your camping and 4WD needs. Enjoy your holiday break and get more from your 4X4.

These will get your motor runninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By TREVOR JACKSON

low-down torque at hand. The cruising forward-control style is relaxed and the flat pull-back bars add to the tough street appeal. Triumph saw fit to add a set of their own custom pipes to the test bike, which emitted a tasty sound, without that over-the-top roar. On the road it was all I expected - a comfortable ride with enough power to keep a grin on my face - and those pipes provided a very â&#x20AC;&#x153;Triumphâ&#x20AC;? sound. The Thunderbird Storm was next on the list, but back at the shop I discovered it was booked out. However, Steve from Whitehouse Motorcycles was more than happy to lend me the â&#x20AC;&#x153;shop bikeâ&#x20AC;? so I could experience the feel of real brute force. I can only describe the Storm as a tough street brawler with ample cruiser

MOTORCYCLE ride days are a great opportunity to check out what a specific manufacturer has to offer - and there should be more of it. Recently Triumph Motorcycles rolled into town and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist having a look at a couple of models Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been eyeing off. Firstly, yes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a cruiser man - I make no bones about that. I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more satisfying than heading out for a relaxing ride on the weekend, just taking in the sights and sounds. Of course itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have a bit of grunt on tap to keep up with the traffic, so big twins float my boat. Enter the Triumph Speedmaster. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an 865cc twin-cylinder machine, not the biggest around, but has plenty of

heritage. Forward controls set the scene, again the flat bars fit the style and a set of twin headlights add to the street cred of the flat-black paint. The motor is almost twice the size of the Speedmaster at 1699cc, and it shows on the road! If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than enough on tap for whatever you might need. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure if you loaded the Storm up for a long highway cruise, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hardly notice the extra weight - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that impressive. And while it is a big motorcycle, it was easy to manoeuvre around town and felt solid on the open road. Overall it was an enjoyable afternoon on a couple of great bikes from a wellcredentialed manufacturer worth checking out.

Matt black and big-bore power make the Thunderbird Storm the ideal street brawler, and not a bad cruiser to boot.

Getting cars ready for the big trip BORDER Bandag has been a part of the Albury landscape for 40 years, recently adding a Wodonga location to better service motorists in the region. With Christmas upon us and plans in place to take the family on a well-earned holiday, Border Bandag proprietor Graeme Edgar has some simple words of advice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to encourage people to take five minutes out of their day and make sure their car is right,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive it if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have fuel in it, so you really shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be driving it if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have good tyres on it. You have precious cargo in cars and you want to look after them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want someone driving towards me with worn tyres when I have my kids in the car.â&#x20AC;? Graeme says many people take their tyres for granted, not bothering to check

Graeme Edgar is urging motorists to drop in for a fast, free tyre check.

wear until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointed out by their mechanic - and he says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple to keep on top of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It costs nothing to call in and have your tyres checked,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a two-minute visual check to see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good enough to go on holiday.â&#x20AC;? Worn tyres can double your ability to stop, or greatly reduce you ability to control your vehicle in an emergency situation at any time of year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably more important over the Christmas holidays,â&#x20AC;? Graeme said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The roads are so busy and you never know what the person in front of you, behind you or the person coming towards you are going to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to have the ability to move the car, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to swerve or to put your foot on the brakes to avoid a situation.â&#x20AC;? Worn tyres can also add to the maintenance cost of running your vehicle, with

vibrations and shudders a possible cause of premature front end or suspension wear. Border Bandag have a full mechanical bay, offering wheel alignments plus front end, brake and suspension repairs, taking the worry out of your motoring in a onestop-shop. Whatever vehicle you drive, chances are youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a tyre to suit from the wide range offered at Border Bandag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can offer whatever the client wants,â&#x20AC;? Graeme said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have everything, from the very best to something that will you get you out of strife for a while or something in between.â&#x20AC;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re preparing for that once-a-year trip or just have any concerns about your tyres, simply pop in to see the team at Border Bandag, have a fast and easy assessment and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be far more relaxed this holiday season.

Gas up to stay cool

Paul Rudd demonstrates the de-gassing process while servicing an air conditioning unit.

SUMMER is upon us and as many motorists are planning their family holiday trips, one thing that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be forgotten is the car air- conditioner. Motorists often give the system little thought until it ceases to blow cold air. One of the many reasons for air conditioner failure is simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People turn their air conditioner on when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot and suddenly realise it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? Paul Rudd of Carsparx said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should run it in the winter to keep the seals soft and the o-rings in the system lubricated. That way when you turn it on the seals arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard and brittle and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leak gas.â&#x20AC;? With 15 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; industry experience, the Carsparx team has the knowledge to ensure your air-conditioner is working effectively, and can provide simple advice on how to best maintain your system.

Many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise air conditioners, when run in winter, dehumidify the windscreen within seconds. While modern vehicles utilise the airconditioners as part of the built-in climate control, many older vehicles donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that option, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply a matter of turning the system on manually in conjunction with the heaters to provide clearer vision. Paul said while the majority of problems appeared because of a lack of use, it was important to have air-conditioners regularly serviced to ensure they operate at peak performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every three years you should have your air-conditioner serviced,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if there appears to be no problem, preventative maintenance can save time and money in the long term.â&#x20AC;? And if a problem does arise, Carsparx has the expertise and equipment to have you back on the road in no time.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you may hear a hissing sound under the dash but there many different spots where the system can leak,â&#x20AC;? Paul said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pressure test the systems with nitrogen, we use oil, die, spray and a UV light. All these things a handy to find leaks you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear.â&#x20AC;? More modern systems run 134a gas, while many of the older systems used R12. Paul said that even the older systems can be retrofitted to use either HyChill or the 134a gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy the R12 gas any more,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can retrofit the older systems and can have them working well on either gas.â&#x20AC;? Carsparx will be closed over the Christmas period but re-opens on 2 January, so be sure to have your system checked before setting off on the family holiday this summer.

Homes&Property ďż˝ďż˝ Albury Wodonga

By TREVOR JACKSON LOOKING for something unique in a lifestyle property? This featured home in the Baranduda Range Estate could be the one. The chalet-style home is stunning in every respect, set on a three and a half acre block and backs onto crown land for perfect, private family living. Bush rock, brick and timber and ample space are major features, and if that sounds like the place for you, read on. A wide, tiled entrance greets the prospective new owners, with timber and brickwork immediately evident as features throughout. A step down into the main living area reveals a large open fireplace, accompanied by a separate combustion heater alongside, bricked in to create a unique feature wall, stretching up to meet the vaulted timberpanelled ceiling. The large kitchen is sure to be the envy of your friends, again with a brick feature surrounding the electric cooktop. Ample cupboard and bench space provide for easy and enjoyable meal preparation while a spacious dining area allows for the largest family gathering to spill out to an ample sun-drenched timber deck. For those more relaxed alfresco afternoons, the rear paved patio is accessible from the formal lounge, providing the perfect spot for easy entertaining in style. But of course thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, with a loft above to provide guest accommodation, extra space for the kids to play, or maybe a place to allow the creative within to escape. Away from the main living hub sit four bedrooms, three doubles and one master. As with everything, space

abounds, with the master bedroom boasting just that, and a stunning ensuite to boot. The three remaining bedrooms all feature large built-in robes and are serviced by a spacious and stunning bathroom. This has been recently renovated and includes a double vanity, again showcasing the ample proportions of the home. And not to be outdone, the laundry is itself of more-than-ample proportions. And the features continue with third living area downstairs. Here youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find ample space for a full-size pool table, large entertainment system or any other requirements. A kitchenette is already in place as is a toilet, making this the ideal teenagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retreat. The man of the house hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been forgotten either, with a 10mx10m American-style Colorbond barn the perfect getaway. The mezzanine floor allows storage to keep the lower level clear for vehicles, maybe a second pool table, or space to tinker. Three-phase power is fitted for those requiring extra juice for that restoration project or whatever need may arise. The grounds have been well planned over the years, creating a relatively easy-to-maintain property. A large fish pond with water feature sits pride-of-place while a rock garden showcases the natural landscape of the area. Mature trees provide a country feel and attract the native fauna while a natural water course runs through the side of the property. Established lifestyle properties donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come much better, and this perfectly presented example is one not to miss.

Something unique This stunning chaletstyle home offers idyllic lifestyle living.

Relaxed alfresco dining can be found on the rear paved patio.

The main living hub with brick fireplace feature and loft.

The spacious dining area spills out to a sundrenched deck.

A huge kitchen allows for easy, enjoyable meal preparation.

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Star News Group could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Star News Group will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law.

Orienteers have found Beechworth By KRYSTEN MANUEL

Justin Clancy, left was pleased to be presented with level-three accreditation by Peter Lee.

Club steps up By TREVOR JACKSON ALBURY Steamers rugby union club is the latest sports club on the Border to reach level-three status with the Good Sports program. The program is run through the Australian Drug Foundation and looks to promote a healthy lifestyle through reduced reliance on alcohol consumption and sales through sporting clubs. Steamers president Justin Clancy said he was pleased the club had reached the milestone. “We appreciate we have a duty of care to our members and I think encouraging responsible drinking is an important part of that, especially for a sporting club,” he said. “We also recognise our role as a community within the community is an important role, whether it be our work with Aspire or with Good Sports. Sporting clubs like ours play an important role in the wider community so the more we can do to achieve that, the better.” while the club has achieved its goal of levelthree accreditation, Mr Clancy to quick to reiterate the importance of continued work. “It has been great we’ve been able to accomplish that, but it is an ongoing process,” he said. “Our board recognises we need to do more than just pay lip service to such a program. We need to continue to examine whether we are entering into the spirit of the program. “That’s the challenge ahead of us and it’s not finished just because we have a certain accreditation.”

Mr Clancy said Steamers had always been considered a family-focused club, and the levelthree accreditation would simply help to push that point home. “Steamers has always been known as a good, friendly, family club and we haven’t been plagued by unsociable behaviour,” he said. “We’ve been fortunate the behaviour of our members is generally quite good and the role the club plays in that is something the board is becoming more concious of.” Good Sports local representative Peter Lee said Steamers had not only achieved their goal of level-three, but had gone above and beyond to ensure a pleasurable experience at games. “Steamers is a very community-minded club,” he said. “At the games they run bouncing castles so the little ones can play while others can watch. “But the other thing which is super about Steamers is they have gone beyond the alcohol situation. They actually have policies in place for drugs which very few clubs do.” But while the accreditation has come through hard work, Mr Clancy said the club was aware of what lay ahead. “The message Peter gave me was about allowing people have a good time,” he said. “That’s always the challenge, to ensure you’re always providing an opportunity for young people to enjoy themselves but doing so in a safe manner. “We just have to remain vigilant about that.”

BEECHWORTH will play host to more than 400 orienteering enthusiasts from 11 countries for the annual Christmas Five-Days Carnival. This competition is highly varied in age and skill level, with competitors ranging from eight to 80, with a few world competitors in the mix. Victoria’s North-East offers some of Australia’s most challenging orienteering terrain, requiring attention to detail while maintaining the ability to run at a decent speed. “Beechworth is perfect for this sort of thing because we have a whole range of orienteering maps that are top quality that have been used for state and national championships in their previous lives,” carnival co-ordinator, Warwick Williams said. “So it’s great, challenging terrain and when we have finished for the day it’s lovely tourist country as well. “It has plenty to attract people.” Australian No.1 Julian Dent (NSW) will be favourite to take out the overall men’s title, and is up against the top eight male orienteers in the country. Reigning Australian champion Grace Crane (Tasmania) is the favourite for the women, but will be pushed by five of the nation’s top 10 females. All event arenas will be within 30km of Beechworth, with the highlight event on 31 December - the chasing start in the elite classes, with the first winners to make their way past Beechworth’s famous hospital facade en route to taking the overall honours.

Full steam ahead By TREVOR JACKSON

ALBURY Steamers rugby union club is looking set to continue its success next year after the departure of coach, Don Cameron. The incoming coaching staff consist of Steve Stone as director of coaching with Scott Glover, Dave Stuart and Nathan Honeyman taking control as the first grade coaching group. Steamers’ president Justin Clancy said he was pleased to be sitting in such a strong overall position and was looking forward to the challenges ahead for the growing club. “It’s a fantastic opportunity moving forward,” he said. “Obviously Don Cameron is a large gap to fill after many years of service, but this is a very experienced group bringing a lot of enthusiasm and fresh ideas - that’s the upside of change. “We’re looking forward to what they bring to the table.” Despite the changes Clancy said there was the added bonus of continuity, with both Stuart and Glover strongly involved in the club’s 2012 season.

“Things are looking good when you look at it in that respect,” he said. “To put it into context, when Don came on board in 2007, we were struggling to find coaches, so to get to the point where Don steps down and we have a coaching director and a group of three qualified first grade coaches is fantastic. “It reflects a lot of hard work put in behind the scenes.” Clancy said said it was too early to speculate, with only a few key players locked in, how the team structure would look for its 2013 assault. He said once pre-season training officially kicked off next year they would have a better idea of how the upcoming season would look. And he said while Albury was predominantly an AFL town, the time had come for the region to rise above that. “Albury is not just an AFL town any more,” he suggested. “I think it can comfortable start calling itself a sporting town. We have a great league team, great Aussie rules teams, basketball, and I’d like to think union is up there in the mix.” 1047362-JM38-12

Bryan Keely will be attending the Beechworth event and is currently ranked sixth in Australia. “It’s something we do every Christmas and it’s an opportunity for orienteers to spend a bit of time together socially as well as compete,” Mr Williams said. “Typically, it’s a high quality competition. We have high quality maps and courses, but it’s low stress. “It’s a good time to enjoy the summer and enjoy each other’s company.” The Christmas Five-Days takes place each year from December 27-31 December, at locations from southern Queensland to southern Victoria.

Picnic at Dederang AUSTRALIA is home to some of the best horse racing in the world. Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring Racing Carnival impresses seasoned campaigners and new visitors every year with spectacular fields, fashion and exceptional hospitality. But with country racing a feature of the holiday season, none could be more enjoyable than the Dederang Picnic Races. The event has been held on the first Saturday of the new year since 1865, falling on 5 January, 2013. The Dederang racecourse in the picturesque Kiewa Valley is the venue, and is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Indeed, the normally sleepy town with a population around 100 swells to capacity on Picnic Race Day, with numbers over the thousand mark expected. Apart from the races there will be the hotly contested Fashions on the Field competition, kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; entertainment and not to forget the famous Madmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mile and Tug-of-War championship. Punters can also enjoy food stalls and displays of produce from the local region. Club secretary Darcy Townsend said they were looking forward to another bumper meeting, with the

reputation of the annual event continuing to grow. He said the recent rain had greened the track nicely and with further rain expected, all was looking top-notch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting some good fields with some high quality nominations over the six races,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have Nathan Brown coming along as our celebrity. He has his own fashion label and will be judging the the fashions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our race caller, Paul Langham comes up from Melbourne every year and this will be his 30th call for us.â&#x20AC;? Those wanting to attend the races can do so via a partnership between the club and Martins Buses. A $5 fee is payable for a return trip from Albury, Wodonga, Yackandandah and Bonegilla.

BORDER basketball fans are being urged to get online and vote for Lauren Jackson to be immortalised. Jackson is one of six Australian sporting greats nominated to be immortalised in wax at the world-famous Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Sydney. She could join the likes of Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe with the help of fans from the Border. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a whirlwind 12 months and this was such an unexpected surprise to top off an amazing year,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge honour and privilege to lead the Australian team and be chosen to carry the flag in the Opening Ceremony at the London Olympics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is also is a great honour to be recognised as a nominee for this activity and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most grateful. There really are some great sporting legends in Madame Tussauds and it would be amazing to have my figure alongside them.â&#x20AC;?

The Hobbit [M] Commencing Boxing Day Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) must go on a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was conquered by the dragon Smaug. Unexpectedly approached by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Bilbo agrees to join a company of dwarves led by legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. The journey takes them through treacherous lands swarming with goblins and orcs, deadly wargs and giant spiders, shapeshifters and sorcerers and ultimately leads Baggins to

Gangster Squad (MA15+)

Jack Reacher (M) Commencing 3rd January

Commencing 10th January

When six shots ring out during rush hour and ﬁve random people are left dead, a city is thrown into chaos. The evidence leads police to former Army Sniper James Barr, who tells police they have the wrong man and asks for Jack Reacher to be brought in. Suddenly what seemed like a simple case become complex.

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and—if he has his way—every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop…except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.
