Pub on the block Controversial hotel to go on the market

THE ETTAMOGAH Pub is set to be sold, roughly a year after the hotel shut down in controversial circumstances. At the time of the pub closing, a Melbourne newspaper claimed owner Leigh O’Brien was $9 million in debt, which he denies. There are accusations and counter-claims over who was to blame for the collapse of the business. NewsWeekly can reveal liquidators RSM Bird Cameron will sell the pub through Ray White Real Estate in Wagga in a bid to recoup owed money. Several companies owned by Mr O’Brien were placed into liquidation last year, but he said there was only about $150,000 owing through Ettamogah Pub (Albury) to creditors and in tax. A date hasn’t been set for the sale, but a spokesman from Ray White said it would be “sooner rather than later”, but refused to elaborate. Mr O’Brien and the pub’s licensee, who asked not to be named, said the sale had been put on hold while police investigated thefts which allegedly occurred at the premises before it closed. Albury police could not confirm if there was an ongoing investigation into the allegations. Staff at RSM Bird Cameron and Ray White both said there were several matters that needed to be worked through before the sale could
GOING… The Ettamogah Pub has been closed for a year. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON go ahead. Former manager Mark Newbery applied to the Federal Court in Sydney last year to wind up company Ettamogah Pub (Albury) over claims he was owed $30,000 in unpaid wages. Mr O’Brien said he hoped all issues surrounding the venue would soon be sorted. “There’s hardly any creditors for the company in Albury,” he said. “We’re all working together as a team to get the pub sold to get the best price for all other interested parties.
“I’m not interested in getting money from it, as long as people, the banks and whoever, can be paid.” The Ettamogah Pub in Table Top – one of four in Australia – is based on a cartoon created by late artist Ken Maynard. Mr O’Brien said he hadn’t been to the hotel in four years and said the building needed work if it was to reopen. “There have been a lot of things I’ve found out since the business closed,” he said. “We’re going to sell the pub and we’re moving on.”

Rotary expands to take in the sunrise BORDER Rotary clubs have expanded to take in the best part of the day – sunrise. A new club has started, meeting on alternative Wednesday mornings at 6.45am at La Maison Cafe on the Lincoln Causeway. The club is tentatively called the “Rotary Club Albury Wodonga Sunrise� and has been started to cater for younger people who cannot attend lunchtime or evening meetings, although people of all ages are welcome. An offshoot of the Rotary Club Albury North, the fledg-
ling club has been going since last year and already has 15 members, who have elected office bearers and are investigating three possible charity fundraising ventures. The hunt is now on to attract more members and reach the 25-member mark needed to become an official club. Albury North president Glenys Hall said it was essential that as the population aged clubs like Rotary moved with the times to cater for younger members and the more complex lifestyles of today or in 10-15 years there would be a drastic shortage of members.

WODONGA police say the use of a handgun in a home invasion on Monday morning was a rare instance of a firearm being used in a crime. Two intruders entered the back door of an O’Meara Street property just before 6am, waking a 21-year-old male occupant. Both men threatened the man, before one offender wearing a dark balaclava struck him with a gun before fleeing in a dark Holden VT Commodore. The victim suffered minor injuries. While police statistics show 91 weapons or explosive offences were detected in 2010/11 in the Wodonga local government area, Detective Murray Sleep said it was rare for a gun to be used. “As far as firearms are concerned, it’s quite rare,� he said. “I know of two instances where a gun has been used, this one and one last year, and I can’t think of another case where a handgun was involved.
“And I’ve been here for 20-odd years.� Det Sleep said weapons like baseball bats or knifes were far more common than guns. He said enquiries were continuing into the matter, and there appeared to be no links to a recent armed home invasion in Albury involving two Aboriginal males. The masked offender is described as approximately 178cms tall and medium build, the other man of similar height and build with light-coloured hair. Det Sleep said home invasions, armed or unarmed, were also rare. “They do happen from time to time, but they’re not a common event,� he said. “Enquiries are pending and we’re interested to hear from anyone with information.� Anyone with information should contact Wodonga police on 6049 2600 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. 1030162-SH23-12

AS THE baby boomer population ages, one of the issues which is going to become an increasing problem is the growing number of aged people living in isolation. It’s obviously good for the public purse to encourage people to stay in their own home as long as possible, but living alone comes with its own pitfalls. When full-time work becomes a distant memory, an important avenue for socialisation is lost and it is easy to find yourself gradually becoming more isolated as friends and family move away or even die. Technology has its pluses but the modern “online� world is not helping. While it is great in theory to be able to download music and books and order groceries online, that unavoidable trip to the store, library and supermarket can be a vital tool for interaction. The answer is not simple. Remaining active as long as you can is obviously a major plus, so staying in the workforce as long as possible and filling your life with worthwhile activities is a good step. To that end the government’s moves to encourage employers to employ more people over 50 is to be applauded, even if motivated by financial considerations. Churches and other community groups are also running more socialtype groups and even exercise classes so there are increasing avenues for meeting and mingling for those who are physically able to grasp them. But beyond that, society as a whole has to learn to treat elderly people with respect and not just pigeon-hole them because of their grey hair. Perceptions are shifting, but time will tell if far enough and fast enough for the next generation.

is Retailers told to Crowd drawn to lift their game fire station By CAROLINE STRAINIG
By BLAIR THOMSON
DOWN ON DEAN… Albury retailers in Dean Street in particular were singled out by Mr Boyle. wired not to be disputed from what we are doing,” he said. “But if you say something like, ‘Hello, I’m Jacky. Have you been here before?’ and if they say no, then offer to tell them about the store layout and follow up by asking if there is anything in particular they are looking for, most of the time you will engage them with good results. “One simple change in phrasing and questioning can change total outcomes in the way customers behave.” Mr Boyle said Dean Street and Albury’s CBD was made up of too many businesses pulling in different directions and they needed to adopt a “shopping centre” approach. “There is a reason people go to big shopping centres. It’s because
there’s entertainment, they are full of energy and cheerful places to go,” he said. “Albury has exactly the same components, but they are working against one another rather than helping. What is needed is strategic direction.” Mr Boyle said he would be elaborating on his comments this morning at his workshop on business innovation at the Commercial Club from 9am-12. Contact Louise Keenan at the Albury Northside Chamber of Commerce for more information. The Business, Manufacturing and Innovation Festival started on Monday and ends today.
ALBURY’S emergency services opened their doors on the weekend with more than 700 people visiting the Albury Civic Fire Station. The CFA, Border Rescue Squad and ambulance services attended the station, with trucks waiting on standby in case of emergencies. “The kids absolutely loved it,” captain John Vandeven said. “We had the sirens going all day and lots of people getting into it. “And it wasn’t just the little kids that liked it, it was also the big kids with the dads and mothers that were having a look.” While the open day was a chance for people to meet local fire fighters and see how they operate, attendees were also told of the importance of fire safety ahead of the dangerous winter period. A display of antique fire fighting equipment also proved popular. “It was a fantastic response,” Mr Vandeven said. “And luckily there were no jobs that we had to go to, which was a relief.” The Albury Central Fire Station in Mate Street was also open and drew about 30 visitors. Mr Vandeven said extra care and attention should be given to fire over coming months.
NBN soon for select few By BLAIR THOMSON WHILE most Border residents will have to wait several years before they can use the National Broadband Network, some new homes will be hooked up in only a few weeks. NBN Co technicians are currently installing fibre-optic cable at Whenby Grange, The Elms Estate and Riverside Estate. When the new home owners move in to Whenby Grange in a couple of weeks, they’ll have access to the new highspeed network which can deliver internet at up to 100mbs. Homes at The Elms Estate and Riverside Estate will also be able to access the NBN immediately after construction.
New estates with at least 100 lots being built over three years can qualify for the early introduction of the NBN, while construction won’t start in Albury until December 2014, Lavington and Thurgoona in June 2013, and Wodonga September 2014. On average, the service will be active 12 months after construction has started. “Whenby Grange is the first estate in the region that will be hooked up,” Nordcon marketing and sales manager Maria Shaddock said. “There are 43 lots in stages 3.1 and 3.2 that will be able to access the NBN. “There’s a couple of houses that will be ready in the
next few weeks so they’ll have it when they move in.” All future homes built at the three estates will have access to the NBN. NBN Co plans to give every Australian premises access to the new technology through a combination of fibre, fixed wireless and satellite technology over coming years. “I think it will be the sheer convenience of having such fast internet and will be great for people of all ages,” Ms Shaddock said. “The number of homes with computers is now pretty high. “And in terms of resale, it will improve the resale value of a home.”

You be the judge IS eight and a half years enough? No, I don’t believe so. That is why I have decided to run again for election to the AlburyCity Council. To put my record before the public and ask for them to have confidence in me to vote for me for one more term. I have been part of two councils who have taken some hard but good decisions, and I strongly believe there is some unfinished business that needs strong leadership for the next few years to see that through. That’s also why I am looking for genuine people with similar views on the future of Albury, to run with me on a ticket at the September 8 elections.
“
I strongly believe there is some unfinished business that needs strong leadership for the next few years to see that through.
I have to run with a team of five people, because a previous state government designed a voting system that favours political parties and tries to keep independents out. And it is difficult to get people to stand for election, as it is constant media criticism and negative headlines, no matter what we achieve for the community, that discourages people from putting their hand up to do a very important job. It seems ironic then that I am using the same media to try to balance the argument and to counter the criticism. I will put this regular column in this forum in the lead up to the next election. As well, I welcome your questions about council, and if you want clarification on where I stand on policy issues, don’t hesitate to send me an email to ask. My contact email address is comments@henkvandeven.com.au

ALBURY retailers have been judged – and some have been found lacking. Mike Boyle, known as one of the country’s leading “sales scientists”, said Albury retailers overall showed a lack of pizazz and the situation was little better in Wodonga. Mr Boyle, who will conduct a workshop this morning as part of the Business, Manufacturing and Innovation Festival, said he had noticed a negative trend in recent times, possibly because of the economic situation. “I have visited the area for the past 30 years, but I have been watching Albury, in particular, business-wise for the past six to eight months,” he said. “Clearly we live in challenging times, but I have noticed a lack of enthusiasm about getting customers in and dealing with them, especially in Dean Street. “It’s not across the board – one business engaged me beautifully but I went into four major retailers the other day and it was like I was an obstruction to their day.” Mr Boyle said there was a difference between hounding customers and helping them in a positive way, something he emphasised in his customer-service workshops. “If you just ask someone ‘Can I help you?’ most of the time you will get a no, because we are hard-

Rates, libraries and big white elephants Councillor defends rate hikes and projects By CAROLINE STRAINIG AN ALBURY councillor has defended his council’s decision to increase the general rate by 6.09 per cent – the third year in a row ratepayers have been subjected to a hike of this magnitude. Cr Daryl Betteridge, a local business owner who joined the council at the September 2008 elections, said criticism of the rise since it was announced in late April was not justified and much of it was just “pre-election rhetoric”. “Firstly, our budget for the 2012-13 financial year is a responsible budget addressing our infrastructure shortfall maintenance and special levy projects,” he said. “We’re not increasing funding to any other organisations. “Yes, there is a rate increase in there, but unfortunately if we want to retain services that is inevitable.” He said Albury Council had undertaken cost cutting and there would be ongoing reviews of services. However, council was facing the same situation general households were, compounded by the size of the organisation.
“The carbon tax will have a 0.4 per cent impact. Electricity has gone up $1.2m in 12 months. We cannot just razor-gang something because that may have a massive negative impact on the community,” he said. “AlburyCity runs communitybased businesses, most of which don’t make any money. We only have two that make money, airport and landfill. “We are not just driven by economic drivers but community values. There are outside influences we cannot control.” Cr Betteridge said one project that had come in for criticism was the allocation of $490,000 to fit out a new library in Lavington, due for completion in 2013. The 450sqm premises in question would be leased with an option to buy. He believed this was a sensible decision by council and the project was not a “white elephant”. “If you look at the new library we built in Albury, that has been an outstanding success and patronage has increased four-fold,” he said. “With that data in mind, we believe the new library in Lavington
will be a huge success, especially when coupled with a service centre as well which Lavington doesn’t have.” The decision to lease rather than buy was justified because council could not afford the many million dollars required to build suitable premises, plus leasing gave them flexibility. “When Lavington’s current library was built in about the mid1980s it was built believing it was more than adequate for a long time to come, but now not that many years on it is too small,” he said. “Leasing will give us the flexibility to upsize or downsize or even move if the population base moves. We also have the option to buy if council does decide that is the best option.” An Albury local, Cr Betteridge said his view of council operations had changed considerably since he was elected in 2008. “When I got onto council, AlburyCity had a budget of about $105m. ‘Wow, that’s a lot. I wonder what they do with it all,’ I thought.
NO WHITE ELEPHANT… Cr Daryl Betteridge in front of the construction site where Lavington’s new library will be built. It seemed a huge amount. Now I know,” he said. “It’s an election year and people who want to be elected or re-elected will trot out soapboxes. Lavington library is a perfect example of something that is going to be used. “At the end of the day when you wash all the rhetoric out, the people of Lavington are going to receive a first-class library facility. That’s all I think that is important.” Cr Betteridge said he himself would be running for council again at the September NSW local government elections.
Increases in pipeline IN addition to the 6.09 per cent general rate rise (which includes 0.4 per cent to help offset the carbon tax) increases that are causing angst include: For households: 12 per cent in residential water consumption charges 10 per cent sewer charges 23 per cent in domestic waste charges For businesses: 13 per cent water consumption charges •6.2 per cent sewer charges •23 per cent waste charges

“I couldn’t imagine going anywhere without him and the competencies he’s given me have been enormous. “I compare him to a mother with a pram, or a person in a wheelchair; he’s that aide that allows me to get around safely and I wouldn’t know where I’d be without him.” Local guide dog users and Guide Dogs NSW/ACT staff handed out stickers and information packs in Albury recently as part of the initiative.

A NEW campaign aims to educate hospitality venues on their responsibilities to guide dog owners. Guide dogs are legally allowed to enter any building. While CSU student Daniel Searle, who has five per cent vision, said most places welcomed his guide dog Bear, he had encountered a few minor problems. “Some places can be a bit of an issue, mainly because some people may not be aware that he is a guide dog, or that guide dogs are legally allowed to enter any public place,” he said. “But around Albury Wodonga I’ve found businesses are very supportive. “I eat out a lot and I’ve found they generally welcome myself and Bear and will offer him a drink of water.” Mr Searle began losing his vision at age 16 and struggled to cope with the change. “It was very tough at first,” he said. “I’m from Barham, which is three hours west of here and growing up in a small town I played a lot of sport, so going from full sight and being quite independent to low vision over a couple of months, especially at 16 as a young boy when people are starting to get their L’s, it’s quite a big adjustment.

QBE closes doors
Demolition starts on mill
By BLAIR THOMSON QBE Insurance will close its Albury office at the end of the month with 12 staff to lose their jobs. The workers compensation office in Swift Street is the victim of consolidation, with letters sent to customers advising them of the closure. Staff will have to relocate to Bendigo, Shepparton, Wollongong and Canberra, with all offered positions in those locations. Local workers wouldn’t speak to NewsWeekly, but a QBE spokesman said the decision to close the branch was made after “careful consideration and review”. It is believed the company has been adversely affected by compensation claims made following recent natural disasters. Shares in the company declined

Pictures: BLAIR THOMSON site was available at a cost of $1.6m, but now says there is no price set. The site had been considered for the new Australian Taxation Office building currently under construction on Smollett Street and several potential buyers had inspected it. But fitting a new business in with the layout of the building was problematic and the cost of clearing the site a stumbling block. “At the end of the day, people are entitled to make their living out of what they want to do with sites, and if something can’t be preserved then something more modern seems to be the way to replace it,” Mr Wooding said.

DEMOLITION of the Allied Mills buildings in Albury has begun - with the aim of making the site more attractive to a developer. The Young Street flour mill has been attacked by vandals since its closure more than three years ago, with glass, paperwork and smashed furniture littered throughout the building. Copper wiring and other metals have also been stolen from the graffiticovered site, which opened for business a century ago. Asbestos was removed from the area last week with a Melbourne demolition team working over the next eight to 12 weeks to clear the structures, which will be sold as scrap metal. Rather than being pulled down in one go, the aging solos will be carefully removed. Albury and District Historical Society vice president Joe Wooding said it was sad to see the mill go, but said there would be a new history developed on the site. “From a purely financial point of view, there’s very little you could do with flour mills,” he said. “At the end of the day, the mighty dollar is what it’s all about. “It’s the world we live in. “While it’s something that’s been iconic here for 100 years, life moves on. “There is quite a bit of history there but the site’s obviously been neglected.” The site is zoned for mixed used with 3700sqm of freehold and 9600sqm of leasehold land. Kel Barclay from Stanley & Martin had previously told NewsWeekly the
from December 2011, dropping sharply at the start of the year and made a rebound in March. The spokesperson said QBE remained “committed to regional areas and to ensuring brokers, policyholders and injured workers continue to receive consistent and high levels of service and support”. Staff have already started packing boxes at the building. Medicare’s office in Dean Street will also close today. The service will operate from Centrelink at 430 Wilson Street from Monday with reduced trading hours as part of government cost-cutting measures. The Dean Street service had operated from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 12.30pm on Saturday, but will now be open 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.

Reading has never sounded this good By CAROLINE STRAINIG
JUST ACTING… Actor/narrator Stig Wemyss was a special guest at the launch, delighting school children with a theatrical impromptu reading from the popular “Just” series of books.
READING a book now sounds like a better idea than ever before, as more and more people are about to discover. The region took its next step into the digital world last week with the launch of a new audio book service at Albury’s LibraryMuseum called the SouthWest Zone Digital Library. Team leader library and museums Carina Clement said the library would give library members online access to 5000 titles in the Bolinda audio book library. “On 30 June eBooks will be added to the library. Eventually music may also be added, but that will be well down the track
if that does happen,” she said. “It’s a fantastic initiative about libraries moving into a new age. “Libraries are fantastic community hubs and we still want people to come in, but this gives people access from wherever they are. “It will obviously be great for elderly people but the experience elsewhere is that truck drivers love it too, and it’s even popular with young people, who listen to it while they exercise.” She said topics included anything and everything with an accent on best-selling fiction. Giving members access to an audio library is a joint project involving towns from Went-

IF YOU have room in your life to love and care for another person, Anglicare would like to hear from you. Due to the transfer of Out of Home Care (foster care) from government to the not-for-profit sector, Anglicare is expanding from Wagga to Albury and has an urgent need for foster carers. “We are looking for between 10-12 people in Albury and the surrounding region,” carer assessment recruitment training officer Helen Reynolds said. Prerequisites include patience, perseverance and a sense of fun. “Anglicare foster carers push limits, think big picture and want to make a difference for children and young people unable to live with their own families,” she said. “Carers come from all walks of life and all family situations and remuneration is negotiated on an individual basis, depending on the needs of the particular child. “Anglicare provide free training and support throughout the process and during a foster care placement.” Ms Reynolds said fostering did have its challenges and could be hard work at times, but the rewards were immeasurable. “Seeing a young child come in with lots of barriers and then seeing the barriers come down as they learn what life can be like in a positive family situation and what it’s like to be loved is pretty special,” she said. “All our carers talk about how emotionally rewarding it is at the end of the day.” She said children came into foster care for lots of reasons in addition to major family break-down and issues and for some it could just be having a single parent who is ill. Anglicare will be opening a temporary office in in The Hub in Macauley Street, Albury shortly as the first step to establishing a permanent office here. In the interim for more information visit www. anglicarecanberrragoulburn.com.au or contact Ms Reynolds on 6937 1555 or mobile 0409 037 881, email helen.reynolds@anglicare.com.au
The National Broadband Network is improving access to healthcare around Australia
“The NBN gives people, especially those in regional areas, better access to healthcare from home. With a high-speed, much more reliable connection, doctors, nurses and specialists can stay in touch with their patients, wherever they are. I’m
worth in the west, West Wyalong in the north and Albury in the south. The joint project involving different councils is reportedly a first in Australia, made possible because of a $200,000 grant from the State Library of NSW. Wodonga and some other Victorian-based councils can also access the service. Members of participating libraries can enrol online – all you need is your membership number, plus of course an iPod or some other form of mp3 Player to download the book to. Sony eReaders, pre-loaded with titles, will also be available for loan when the eBook service is added at the end of June.
Facts and benefits:
involved in a movement therapy trial, where a stroke patient in a regional location is connected online to a therapist in Sydney. With the NBN, we get the same level of interaction as if the patient and therapist were in the same room together.” - Dr. Penelope McNulty, Neuroscience Research Australia
The NBN will deliver access to high-speed, reliable broadband to all of Australia.

THE Hume Building Society will be holding a special ladies charity luncheon today in support of the Fight Cancer Fouandation’s Albury Wodonga Accommodation Centre. This special event for Mother’s Day will feature the renowned Tom Burlinson performing songs from his extensive repertoire. Tom Burlinson soared into the hearts of Australians in The Man from Snowy River in 1981 with the title role of Jim Craig. Momentous performances since have included Phar Lap playing Tommy Woodcock. The Albury Wodonga Carer Accommodation Centre development is under way next to Albury Base Hospital for patients and their carers who need to visit hospitals in Albury or Wodonga. “The building of the centre is near to many hearts – we wanted to do what we could to help,” a spokesperson for Hume said.

Women learn keys to business By CAROLINE STRAINIG BORDER business women received some expert advice on marketing from a leading expert in the field last week. Industry guru Ingrid Cliff of Heart Harmony shared some practical tips with women at a Women’s Network “power tea� at Rydges in Albury while visiting family who live in the area. Brisbane-based Ingrid, who describes herself as “Chief Word Wizard� of her copywriting company, works with businesses around the world, helping them engage clients through their words, including online strategies and general marketing. She numbers among her clients some of Australia’s biggest companies. More than 20 women who attended the power tea heard how to take some easy and notso-easy steps to boost business and avoid common pitfalls. Topics included finding your uniqueness, knowing who you best serve, being authentic, listening and interacting, packaging what you know, taking responsibility and guaranteeing yourself and sharing your success stories.
BACK YOURSELF‌ Offering long guarantees were just one pearl of wisdom imparted by Ingrid Cliff during her talk last week. Picture: CAROLINE STRAINIG Among stand-out tips was not confusing customers by offering too many options. Ingrid gave an example of how she herself once made the mistake of offering gold and silver packages to clients. Most businesses also didn’t have an accurate idea of who their clients were, which was essential in targeting your message. “You will be surprised,â€? she said. “Do a search on your system to see who your best customers are and then look
at what they have in common. You need to identify that so you know who you are attracting.� Guarantees were another subject she had strong views on, saying backing yourself with a long guarantee was a positive step which would help win business, regardless of whether you were in retail or the service industry. For more information about Heart Harmony and details of eBooks Ingrid publishes visit www.heartharmony.com.au
Pedal push pays off big time WODONGA Council and AlburyCity have been successful in securing joint funding of $300,000 to upgrade cycle paths. The funding is part of the $20 million Liveable Cities Program through the Department of Infrastructure and Transport.
Both councils will contribute $150,000 to match the Australian government’s contribution, resulting in a total spend of $600,000. Project funding will be used to increase the network of onroad bike lanes through linemarking and reconfiguration of lanes, increased availability
of bike parking in the two cities and improving cycle path signage. Wodonga Mayor Cr Mark Byatt said this funding will increase and improve cycling infrastructure in Albury and Wodonga, primarily between the Albury and Wodonga CBDs.
HISTORY‌ Bridget Guthrie said people could expect an entertaining look back at history with the Pyjama Girl display and talk. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON
Law Week activities to entertain and challenge By TREVOR JACKSON LAW Week is here again with many activities in the region set down from Monday 14 to Friday 18 May. Albury Council will be presenting a display and talk, Law and Justice: Our Murky Past at the LibraryMuseum on Tuesday 15 May from 2-3pm. The historical display includes fascinating stories of crime and the law from Albury’s past, including the mystery of the Pyjama Girl murder. Bridget Guthrie, LibraryMuseum and social history coordinator, said the Pyjama Girl murder was a fascinating case that spanned a 10-year period from 1934 to 1944. The display includes photographs and the death mask of
the Pyjama Girl and Ms Guthrie said people could expect an entertaining look back at our history. “People can expect to be entertained and be a little bit challenged about the fact that over the course of time legal parameters and our forensic science have changed and progressed so dramatically, so what was acceptable in our early years of history would not be acceptable now,� she said. The Wodonga court tours have proved popular in previous years and two tours will be offered - one on Monday and a second on Friday from 11am to noon.

THE MURRAY Conservatorium Choir will celebrate its 30th birthday with a concert at the Albury Entertainment Centre tomorrow night (Saturday). Eminent local composer and musician John Ross started the vocal group in 1982 and there are original members still involved. Several talented vocalists have been invited to celebrate the occasion, including Michael Leighton Jones and Yarrawonga-born Marilla Homes. “It’s a big occasion for us,” musical director Beth Ylvisaker told NewsWeekly. “Every extra ten years is good for a community choir to hang together and keep going. “So we’ve got a couple of out-of-the-ordinary things planned.” Mr Leighton, a baritone, will sing a 20-minute solo piece. “He’s just fantastic,” Ms Ylvisaker said. “He conducts the college choir in Melbourne and has actually recorded the piece he’s going to perform for the ABC. “He also conducted the choir for a short stint as well. “And Marilla Homes, I first saw her last year when she entered the Eisteddfod and she won everything she entered.” A string ensemble featuring performers from around the region will perform pieces including All Through the Night and Libertango. “We usually sing at St Matthew’s Church and we’re going to be trying out the Entertainment Centre for the first time,”
FRIDAY, MAY 11
SATURDAY, MAY 12 DIRECTOR… Beth Ylvisaker is looking forward to celebrating the Murray Conservatorium Choir’s 30th birthday on Saturday night. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON Ms Ylvisaker said. “It’s definitely got different acoustics to the church so that will be a bit of adventure for us. “We’re not quite sure what it will be like … the church is great for the older music and other pieces might actually sound better in the Entertainment Centre.” The choir, which has about 60 members, features performers from a range of backgrounds. “We’ve got teenagers through to retirees, people up to about 75,” Ms Ylvisaker said. “I think I would describe it as a very honest sound; it’s people who love what they’re doing and put all of their heart and soul into it and sing in an honest way. “We’ve been working hard to raise the musical standard so
that it’s a cohesive sound, not just 60 random voices doing their own thing, but working together.” While people come and go from the choir, some things remain constant. “There’s always a thread of continuity in the choir, but also a thread that weaves in and out, people who leave town, disappear, but then come back again. “We’ve got music teachers, doctors … it’s a nice mix. “People are involved because they love it and it’s a very good regional community choir.” The Murray Conservatorium Choirs’ 30th Anniversary Concert will be held Saturday 12 May.

Naughty, but funny By BLAIR THOMSON SOME of the funniest performers from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival will be vying for laughs at the Albury Entertainment Centre next Wednesday 16 May. The Comedy Festival Roadshow will be hosted by veteran performer Justin Hamilton, with Dave Callan, DeAnne Smith, Tommy Dean and Tommy Little to round out the two-and-a-half hour show. “It’s an opportunity for people to get a real taste of the festival,” Hamilton explained. “They’re always really fun shows to do. “And from a personal point of view it’s a great chance to hang out with friends and make some new friends, especially with the overseas comedians.” While touring with a group of comedians may sound like an intense experience as each jokester constantly tries to out-funny each other, Hamilton said that rarely happens. “If that happened, I would neck myself,” he said with a laugh. “It’s usually young male comedians that don’t know where the “off” switch is. “You’re sitting there thinking that it’s all right to order a cup of coffee, you don’t have to do a five-minute routine about it. “But the roadshow is usually pretty laid back, actually. “I’ve been doing roadshows now for about 10 years and for the most part it’s a lot of fun.” While Hamilton’s stand-up sets are usually laden with profanity, he’s careful not to push the boundaries too far. “When I’m on stage I’ll talk about exactly what I want to talk about but keep in the back of my head that there might be someone aged 15 and 85 in there, so you’re trying to appeal to as many people as possible,” he explained. “But comedy should always be naughty. “I think rude is just kind of being not very aware of your audience and lacking empathy, but naughty should be throwing ideas out that people wouldn’t think about normally. “One of the things I never really understand is the comedians that bill themselves as hey, we don’t swear. “Well, you don’t have a pianist who bills himself as I don’t play the white keys. “It’s language, why would you take any part of your instruments away from you?

HOST… Justin Hamilton will host a night of comedy in Albury next Wednesday. “My favourite comedy is a little bit naughty, but while you can laugh, you can also walk away and take something away from it and think about it later on.” But off the stage, comedians are free to push the boundaries of good taste amongst themselves. “Backstage, because that’s what you do as a craft, people are seeing who can top the other one,” Hamilton said. “My friend Gatesy from Tripod, we’ve always said there’s going to be a Today Tonight story where someone’s taped it and you’re trying to explain that it’s hilarious when you’re being racist because you’re not racist and just being ironic about it.” It’s been a busy start to the year for Hamilton, who lists career highlights as
making his hero David Bowie laugh and hosting shows on Triple J. “I probably did around 70 or 80 shows in 60 days,” he said. “The last two weeks of the Comedy Festival sold out. “Now, I’m just looking forward to these upcoming shows. “Something else I should mention is that I’d encourage people in the audience to come up to us at the end of the show and have a chat with us. “That’s something we really enjoy.” The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow comes to the Albury Entertainment Centre on Wednesday 16 May.

Drawn-out engagement hits mark MOVIE: The Five-Year Engagement (MA) DURATION: 124 minutes TECHNICALLY, The Five-Year Engagement is a romantic comedy. But the term doesn’t quite do the film justice. Anyone that’s seen a Judd Apatow film – Bridesmaids, Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin to name a few – knows that he enjoys taking the road less travelled and doing things slightly left of the mainstream. This film doesn’t focus on the typical boy meets girl, fall in love, deal with issues, get married narrative of many rom-coms, taking a deeper, more

realistic look at life and relationships and the things people will put up with in the name of love. Opening with Tom Solomon (Jason Segel) proposing to partner Violet Barnes (Emily Blunt), it looks at how the two central characters deal with the issues life throws at them. Violet gets offered a job at a university in snow-covered Michigan, away from the couple’s comfortable surrounds of San Francisco, forcing Tom to drop his blossoming career as a chef in a reversal of typical gender roles. While at first the move is a little tough for Tom to handle and the job opportunities few and far between, it gets a lot tougher. Issues arise as Violet’s career con-
tinues upwards, postponing the marriage and forcing Tom to breaking point as the freezing city takes its toll on him. While this might sound like a bit of a depression session – and it is quite sad throughout – the film is also packed with hilarious dialogue. In some scenes, it feels like you’re witnessing a relationship breakup, only to find yourself heartily laughing at some brilliantly delivered jokes moments later. The chemistry between Segel and Blunt is perfect and smaller players also deliver the goods. It’s a well-rounded, well-produced movie that has real heart and soul about it. ★★★★

GETTING Making what to wear simple for your guests
THEIR TIME TO SHINE… The happy couple should be the focal point of the day. Picture: PRECISE MOMENTS PHOTOGRAPHY
Two into one can be extremely creative fun COMING up with a unique idea for bombonieres can be difficult, but when the bride and groom are from two different countries, giving something that represents both cultures can be creative and fun. Australia is home to many iconic foods such as Vegemite, Cherry Ripes, Jaffas and Tim Tams, which would make fantastic gifts and give guests a chance to learn more about the other country. Stuffed toy animals like kangaroos, koalas and platypus also make good bomboniere additions for guests. Canadian-born Lia Bichel is currently planning her wedding with her Aussie fiancée Trick
Spencer and came up with the idea to do Australian-themed bombonieres for her Canadian guests and vice-versa. “I was hoping to do either a tasting pack that included Vegemite and Tim Tams from Australia and Tim Hortons coffee and Laura Secord chocolates from Canada,” she said. “I also thought of giving each guest a bag with two Tim Tams and Tim Hortons Coffee and instructions on how to do a Tim Tam Slam – which is apparently a fun Australian way of drinking coffee where you bite off the ends and suck the coffee up through the biscuit.” She hoped making bombonieres tailored to each country
would introduce guests to the two cultures of her family in a fun and memorable way rather than just giving them generic gifts such as chocolates or candy. “I wanted to include something from both countries to make it more personal,” she said. “The items I chose are always linked to each country so it just made sense to go with them.” Choosing items from both cultures not only allows the bride and groom to both get what they want in the bomboniere, but the guests also benefit from taking home something they will remember for a long time.
DRESS codes can be a complicated aspect of a wedding for both the bride and groom and their guests, but setting one doesn’t have to be difficult. Upon first glance, the various dress code formalities might be a bit confusing, especially for the men. What’s the difference between black tie and white tie? Is a morning suit only saved for what the name suggests – the mornings? What is a lounge suit? A white-tie event is strictly for evenings and is the pinnacle of formality and glamour. Men are required to wear a black full tailcoat, a white waist coat, a white shirt and a self-tied bow tie and the ladies wear floor-length evening dresses. Black-tie events are also for the evening and are slightly less formal than a white tie function. Men can wear a black tuxedo or dinner suit, a white shirt with cufflinks and a self-tied bow tie. Women would wear a formal dinner dress. As its name suggests, the morning suit is a semi-formal look and
“
The lounge suit code is popular for less formal weddings…
should be worn only in a day wedding. A tail coat with striped trousers, a waistcoat and tie in grey or black is the go for the blokes and a top-hat can be worn or carried. The lounge suit code is popular for less formal weddings and can be worn day or night. The men can wear a dark business suit, a white shirt with cufflinks and a matching tie and the women can wear an evening or cocktail dress. A smart casual dress code is a relaxed theme for men and women and can be worn day or night. The men can go with a collared shirt and trousers and the ladies can stick to a casual dress or pants.

INDEPENDENCE… Aidacare customer service staff member Hayley Perry displays the range of mobility scooters offered at the Urana Road store. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON
SENIORS finding it hard to complete everyday tasks in their own home can rest easy with a range of independent living aids available from Aidacare in Lavington. With more people wishing to stay at home in their later years rather than enter a retirement village it’s reassuring to know they can get all they need including complete after-sales service from the one place here on the Border. The products on offer from Aidacare cover a wide range from simple devices to assist in opening cans and jars to more complex items such as lift chairs and mobility scooters. Store manager Matthew O’Donnell said the scooters were proving very popular, providing a great deal of independence in a person’s later years. “You find now that a lot of people are getting to the stage in their life where they don’t feel confident driving a car and they are choosing to surrender their licence but still want to maintain their independence,” he said. “What they’ll do is buy a mobility scooter and they find the the independence they’ve lost
by surrendering their licence is returned by having a scooter. It means they are in control of their destiny again.” Mr O’Donnell said it was a similar scenario with lift chairs. He said many people find they simply can’t get out of their favourite chair as easily as they used to and as a result lose a certain enjoyment of life. The range of lift chairs offered by Aidacare caters for the individual client, ensuring a comfortable and supportive fit and again allowing more independence. “The top-of-the-range lift chairs now will heat and massage but most of the chairs we have fulfil a need,” Mr O’Donnell said. “People will often come in with an occupational therapist if they are finding it difficult just to get out of a chair. The therapist may find that it’s a straight lift chair that’s needed but if the patient has a respiratory issue and, say, swelling in the legs and they need the back to operate independently of the footrest, they might get a more complex chair. “No two of us are alike so you have to select a chair to suit that particular individual.” Many other products are

Seniors puzzle together pieces for a fun comp HOW fast could you complete a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle? One day, two days? Well, if you wanted to beat the world record you’d have to do it under one hour. This week residents of Mardross Gardens retirement villages will challenge one another in a jigsaw assembly competition, run nationwide, with seniors living in villages across Australia battling it out in a timed trial with a top prize of $1000. Albury village manager Michelle McIntosh said she expected a good turnout from her residents because residents really enjoyed jigsaws. “They are a great way to keep the mind active. I think we will give the other villages a run for their money!” she said. Residents must complete the puzzles individually, and will have one week to perfect their skills. This event is part of a Mardross nation-wide initiative called Activate 2012, an events-based program which aims to keep seniors active, trying new things and pursuing talents. The program consists of something for everyone, from computer lessons and XBOX gaming challenges through to Mad Hatters tea

Three-course themed meals also run on alternate weeks, with Mardross Gardens having just enjoyed their seafood-themed lunch. Launched in February, reception of the program has been overwhelmingly positive with residents complimenting the variety of activities, and the fact they have something different to look forward to each week. Ms McIntosh said it was all about keeping retirement fun.

Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria
Pre-auction offers are okay JUST because a home is advertised for auction does not mean you have to wait until the day of the auction to bid for it. Through the real estate agent you can make a pre-auction offer to the vendor. So far this year, 18 per cent of all auction sales have been sold before the day of the auction; this compares to 19 per cent at this time last year. It is interesting to note that over the past six years, the proportion of homes sold before auction has reduced from around 23 per cent to the presentday 18 per cent. Over that time there has been a 20 per cent chance the home will sell before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so, if you are interested, it is sensible to consider making an offer, lest you miss out. With that in mind, there are a number of advantages in making an offer, even if the offer fails. A successful offer can allow you and the vendor to avoid the auction itself. It is also the case that, even if your offer is unsuccessful, the vendor is less likely to sell to a higher bidder without giving you another opportunity to make an offer. If you do make an offer, it has to be an attractive one that gets the vendorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention and convinces them not to wait until the day of the auction. There are several things you can do to make the offer attractive: first, put the offer in writing; secondly, attach a time limit after which the offer expires. In some cases, presenting the offer along with a cheque for the deposit can really show the vendor that your offer is serious and that they may be better off not waiting until the auction. It is also always advisable to get legal advice before signing the contract of sale.
Budget misses out on opportunities, HIA says THE Housing Industry Association, the voice of the residential building industry, says Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Federal Budget represents a missed opportunity to reinvigorate new home building activity and alleviate the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing affordability pressures. HIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior economist, Andrew Harvey, said that while the budget provided a handful of useful measures more broadly, it contained nothing to address the ongoing weakness in residential building, nor anything to help the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chronic housing shortage and poor levels of housing affordability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a time when new home building is in decline in virtually every state and territory, the budget has failed to deliver any new measure to reinvigorate the home building sector, despite the sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health being absolutely crucial to a healthy domestic economy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite this tight budget it is sensible that the government has retained its existing commitments to the Housing Affordability Fund and the National Rental Assistance Scheme, and has also continued to invest in training and skills, which are essential ingredients to the delivery of affordable new housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the budget was an opportunity to introduce measures to progress housing supply-side reforms with the
Rural Living
NO BUDGET BOOST FOR HOME BUYERSâ&#x20AC;Ś The HIA says the budget could have helped reduce the excessive tax burden on new housing. states and territories, reduce the excessive tax burden on new housing, and expand and extend existing measures aimed at boosting housing supply.â&#x20AC;? He said the government had now been working with the states and territories on housing supply and affordability reform, through COAG, for two and a half years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After such a protracted period it is reasonable to have expected the budget to include sensible measures to boost
housing supply; for example, arrangements to help the states and territories remove residential stamp duties on new housing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without dedicated housing policy measures and housing supply-side reforms the residential building sector will continue to act as a drag on the macro-economy and the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing housing shortage will continue to place undue pressure on the household budgets of home buyers and renters.â&#x20AC;?

Albury Wodonga
Stylish, spacious and absolutely stunning to boot STYLISH, spacious and stunning are three words that aptly describe this week’s Wodonga Real Estate featured property. Set amongst quality homes in the growing Leneva area of Wodonga, this four-bedroom family home combines all the features required to enjoy comfortable living and modern, stylish entertaining. From the outset the new owners are greeted with an impressive entry. Timber decking graces the front steps and entrance with the timber door leading to a light-filled, tiled foyer. The stunning tiles stretch throughout the majority of living areas. The spacious master bedroom includes a walk-in robe with both hanging space and shelving. The tasteful ensuite has a double vanity, floor-to-ceiling tiles and an inviting shower recess. The remaining bedrooms all boast built-ins with one also including a walk-in robe. These are serviced by another stunning bathroom with a deep, luxurious bath, another shower recess and full-length mirror. The spacious living area is an entertainer’s delight finished in neutral tones with large windows to provide ample natural light and down-lights for those intimate evenings.

The classy kitchen, the hub of any home, is sure to please the most fastidious chef/entertainer with no expense spared to provide for easy and stylish living. Stainless cooking and dishwasher take care of the mundane tasks while tasteful touches such as large tiles on the splash-back both add to the appeal and ensure ease of maintenance. Abundant over-head cupboard space, a three-door pantry and pot drawers for those larger items provide plenty of space for the necessities of even the largest family. An island bench with breakfast bar and double sink allows for interactive preparation during those extended dinner parties or early-morning meals. A second living area could easily be utilised as a theatre room and it all spills out into a private alfresco entertaining area. Timber decking is again featured here in an all-weather setting under the main roof. The rear yard is well established and landscaped with easy-to-maintain garden beds and side access. Internal access from the remote double garage ensures protection for the family vehicles while ducted heating and cooling and solar hot water complete this well presented package that’s ready to move in and enjoy.

Simon
Says with SIMON CORR THERE were many exciting battles fought out on our Ovens & Murray fields last season including an epic preliminary final victory by Yarrawonga that saw them come from behind against a 10-goal breeze to sneak into the grand final. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to go past the day Lavington toppled reigning premier Albury at the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home ground. There was a massive build up to the game, largely due to now former coach Tim Sansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baiting in the media, and a very vocal crowd turned up to see the contest. Albury looked too strong early with the bigger bodies and strength across the ground, but a young enthusiastic Panthers group persisted and eventually wore the Tigers down. Lavington obviously gained internal confidence from the shoot-out, realising they can match it with the best, and as we are all aware Albury went on to be just that by winning last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag. To say they hate each other would be a blight on these two professional and credible clubs, but I can emphatically say that both sides derive a euphoric pleasure from defeating the other. Supporters of the respective clubs are more than aware of this and mark the contest in on the calendar as a must for the year. On Saturday they cross paths again. It is a little earlier this year and no longer a top-ofthe-table clash, but with the evenness of the competition there has probably never been a more important game. Lavington sit fourth on the ladder with two wins, a draw and a loss. The draw courtesy of the Easter Sunday showdown with Fevolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pigeons and a loss to Wangaratta whose form since has been very impressive. The Tigers are perched up in second place with three wins and a surprise loss to the Myrtleford Saints. That very loss appears to have helped Albury re-discover its hunger and the Tigers have since mauled both Nth Albury and the Corowa Roos. On paper both sides are blessed with stars. Alburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midfield trio of Daly, Mackie and Hyde would rival any country side in the nation. The Panthers too are blessed in that department with goal kicking on ballers in Pendergast, Stevens and Luke Garland. Defensively both teams are also very sound and equally capable at rebounding with forward thrusts. However, it is the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forward line that sets these two apart. On their day the physical impact of Andrew Carey and Matt Fowler is match-winning. Last week Carey bullied Corowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back line in an outstanding
â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘
nine-goal display. This very strength can also become their biggest weakness. Both Carey and Fowler are no longer spring chickens and a fit defence can run off these two players and expose their lack of pace. Whether the Panthers get the opportunity to do so will be
â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say they hate each other would be a blight on these two professional and credible clubs, but I can emphatically say that both sides derive a euphoric pleasure from defeating the other.

the deciding factor in this game. If Butler, Boyd, Saker and co can somehow force the ball to ground level enough I think the Panthers can win. If Carey, Fowler, Josh Maher and friends can clunk enough of them, Albury will win. Getting off the fence for a change I am going with Lavington by two points. Wodonga and Myrtleford There is a lot to like about all of the other games this weekend as well. Both Wodonga and Myrtleford need to add to their solitary win when they meet. The Raiders need to put last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointment behind them when they play Nth Albury, a team that has beaten Wangaratta. Corowa Rutherglen will need plenty of character to get over last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massacre and face up to Yarrawonga. A win on Sunday in the Wangaratta derby between the Magpies and the Rovers would go a long way to sending one of the teams into the finals.

Gloves on for Marianne
PASSION… Marianne O’Halloran is showing plenty of passion for her chosen sport of boxing. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON
MARIANNE O’Halloran has a dream to win a title in her chosen sport. And her chosen sport is boxing. Marianne has been training under John McCubbin out of Beechworth for the last four years. McCubbin has been training fighters for many years and said Marianne had displayed a commitment not often seen, even from her male counterparts. He said she travelled from her home in Corowa to Beechworth each day, combining the training with family life and often sparred with the likes of Callan Orchard, one of McCubbins recent success stories in the men’s light heavyweight division. Marianne, who’s had one competitive bout so far, said she originally decided on boxing while looking for a sport to keep her fit. “I wanted to get into a sport and always liked watching the boxers like Mohamed Ali and Costya Tszyu,” she said. “I started training and thought I could do it. I’ve had one fight and won that on a split decision.” Marianne said she was keen to see how successful she could be in her lightweight division and her next test will come when she faces
Emma Faulkner at the Commercial Club amateur boxing night on 19 May. “I don’t know anything about her so I’ll just get in there and do my best,” she said. “I just want to go further and see if I can get a title or two.” McCubbin said he originally didn’t agree with women fighting but Marianne was persistent and pushed him to set up a fight. “I’ve trained women but not to fight,” he said. “But Marianne travels from Corowa every night and she’s on my back so I said I’d give her a try. “We had an exhibition match first at the Kinross then I gave her a fight and she won that. “Then this came up and Graeme (Melbourne) asked if she’d be available. She’s fighting an opponent who’s only had one fight. If she does what she’s doing in the gym she’ll win.” The fight night at the Commercial Club will include a host of boxers from the Riverina region with a group coming across from Tasmania to test the local’s mettle. Melbourne said boxing fans could expect a good night of boxing with around 12 fights on the card.
Jones team back on pace By TREVOR JACKSON BRAD Jones Racing have returned home after a gruelling period of V8 Supercar racing spanning the Tasman and the Nullarbor. With little time to recover from the Hamilton, New Zealand event the team set off across the Nullarbor to compete at Barbagallo Raceway in Perth and a solid result has ensured smiles all round. Team owner Brad Jones said he was pleased with the results from the west and with his team sitting fourth in the championship, ahead of their more fancied rival, Holden Racing Team. A new addition to the team this year in Fabian Coulthard has proved beneficial to the team and renewed pace from Jason Bright has ensured BJR are being noticed. Race three at Perth showed just how strong the driver pairings are with Bright finishing just seconds from a podium finish. Race strategy came into play with different tyre choices for each driver that both paid dividends with Bright finishing fourth and Coulthard finishing seventh. “The great thing about having two fast drivers is you can throw a couple of strategies around and still get good results,” Jones said.
SATISFIED… Brad and Kim Jones looking satisfied with the team’s effort at Barbagallo Raceway, Perth. “I think we’re going to be pretty competitive “For us to come away from the weekend with Fabian well in the top 10 in the championship, down there,” he said. Brighty improving, we’re fourth in the teams’ “I think it’s the second fastest circuit in Auschampionship; I can see plenty of blue sky at the tralia. It’s certainly a really good one to drive on moment. We ticked a lot of boxes in Perth and … in my mind it’s second to Bathurst. now we need to keep it going.” “It has a good mix of high speed stuff and The team now has a short break before heading to Phillip Island for one of the fastest circuits tight twisty corners and at the end of May, start in the country and Jones said their pace should of June, you can almost be guaranteed there’ll provide the opportunity for another good result. be a bit of rain around the place.”
SUUPPORT… Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre manager Andrew Mundy and Pieta Swann are hoping for a show of support for the Midnight Basketball program in Wodonga.
Community meeting to get behind Midnight Basketball INTERESTED community members are being urged to throw their support behind an initiative to run Midnight Basketball in Wodonga. A meeting has been scheduled from 5.30pm on Thursday 17 May at the YMCA Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre with those interested being asked to attend. Midnight Basketball is a national, community-run program for 12 to 18 year olds who are ‘at risk’. Eight-week basketball tournaments are held in safe environments on Friday or Saturday nights starting with a hot, nutritious dinner, followed by compulsory workshops and tournament games of basketball. A bus takes all players home to their front door around midnight. Midnight basketball is proving to be a successful model around the country and across the border in Albury. Its tagline of ‘No Workshop No Jumpshot’ requires participants to attend a compulsory life skills workshop before they play basketball, reinforcing the idea of life being about getting your work done then playing afterwards. Midnight Basketball Australia chief executive officer Tess White said large numbers of young people are signing up across the country and re-enrolling not only to play the basketball, but to participate in all elements of the night. “While Midnight Basketball Australia provides a lot of support, its success at a local level is highly dependent on community involvement,” she said. “Communities need to get together and show they can run the program in their own town or city with two eight-week tournaments per year.” The first step in creating a Midnight Basketball tournament in Wodonga is to organise a local community committee. Anyone interested in joining the committee, volunteering for tournament nights or offering any other kind of support are being urged to attend the meeting. For more information phone the council’s team leader youth services Pieta Swann on 0409 334 429.

Local Sport Bandits fire on home court By TREVOR JACKSON ALBURY Wodonga Bandits have taken another home court win on the weekend with a 95-78 point victory over Kilsyth Cobras. The game was highlighted by fast action, big dunks and Lauren Jackson watching on from a corporate box. From the outset the home side looked in control when Ben Hollis opened the scoring with a crowdpleasing dunk. Mohamed Ntumba decided to get in on the act early in the second term and the stadium erupted. Jazzmarr Ferguson controlled the floor well from the point finishing with a team high 23 point while Nick Payne was back on song with 18. Ntumba chipped in with a double double hitting 16 points and pulling down 11 rebounds while Alex Opacic also reached double figures with 13 points. The Bandits then travelled to Knox on Sunday and were defeated by the home side 104-89. Despite the loss Ntumba en-
sured the Raiders would remember his face with a huge double double of 21 points and 21 rebounds. His presence around the boards is becoming a focal point for the Bandits and with the whole team firing should bode well for the remainder of the season. Coach Brad Chalmers said he was pleased with the way the team was coming together which was showing in both the results and the crowd support for home games. “I’m just really happy with our commitment levels at the moment,” he said. “The energy’s really good and it’s always pleasing when you can get home court results.” But while the Bandits are sitting in a much healthier position on the ladder compared to recent seasons with a six win four loss ratio Chalmers was under no illusions that the remainder of the season would be a cake-walk. A road-trip heavy stretch is approaching which should add plenty of pressure to the Bandits’ performance. “The stretch we’re in now has
been super-tough but we’ve had a few home games to try to beat some of these power clubs,” Chalmers said. “I think we’ve got three home games and eight on the road in our back 11 so once we get through the half way part it’s going to be tough. But saying that we’ve got Canberra and some of the other teams that are a bit further down the ladder. We play them away so it’s a good opportunity to get some wins on the road.” This weekend the Bandits have one of their toughest tests of the season when they face top team Geelong at the Lauren Jackson Sports Centre and Chalmers is hoping to give the home crowd something to cheer about. “That’s going to be a good challenge and we’re really up for this one and want to try to knock them off and send a bit more of a message around to the league hopefully,” he said. Tip-off time for the Saturday night’s games are 6pm for the Lady Bandits and 8pm for the men.

Impressive debut for rookie By TREVOR JACKSON
AWESOME… Matt Chahda working his way around the track in his first outing in a Formula Ford race car.
A THIRD place qualifying effort set the scene for Border Formula Ford driver, Matt Chahda in his first run in the category after stepping up to the class this year. And it didn’t stop there. Chahda continued his good form at the Wakefield Park venue with a fourth place finish in the first race of his new career, a third in the second while a spin and a trip to the sand trap put him out of contention in the third. But the young rookie wasn’t deterred and said his qualifying effort was amongst the highlights of the weekend. “I only had three practice sessions on the Friday before the races so I was happy with how I went,” Chahda said. “Looking at the qualifying results
and being third with less practice than the others was awesome.” Chahda said sitting on the starting grid and looking back through the rear view mirror was a strange feeling. He said he expected to be looking at a line of cars in front but the scenario was reversed. He said that all added to the pressure but once in race mode it didn’t seem to matter. His fourth place in race one came after a mechanical problem with the car saw the bonnet fly up, causing him to spin 360 degrees and hold on to finish the race, only losing one position in the process. This relegated him to fourth place on the grid for race two. After a poor start an accident ahead moved Chahda up to third where he stayed for the remainder
of the race. His third race spin came after trying to pass a car, locking up the brakes and sliding off the track. Chahda said it was a great experience and he was impressed with the professionalism of the team, the car setup and the fact that he no longer played a double role of driver and mechanic. “I’ve come from racing where me and dad work on the car and set everything up,” he said. “We got there and I didn’t touch the car. I hopped in, drove it and got out and people were working on it when I left. Someone would come up after the race with all the data and we’d look at it and work out where I could improve. “I’m excited to learn more about it.”
