Growing pain Community will share fall-out, warn TAFE staff and students By BLAIR THOMSON CUTS to Wodonga TAFE’s budget will not only impact upon students and staff, but the entire community. That’s according to organisers of a protest held at the campus this week, with staff, students and union officials angry that $7m will be slashed from the TAFE. National Tertiary Education Union Victorian Division president Virginia Mansel Lees said the cuts were a “kick” for regional communities and would force students to move to Melbourne. “This is about social justice,” she

told the crowd of about 200. “It is about students, young and old, having access to high quality and affordable skills and vocational training. We should be expanding services in regional areas, not cutting back.” The cuts are about 30 per cent of Wodonga TAFE’s budget, and the institute hasn’t said what changes it will have to make. But NTEU Wodonga TAFE sub branch president Kerry Delves said she would expect fees to rise. “They’re still trying to work it all out, but I believe it will have a big impact on the students’ fees.” she said.

“From my point of view the management has been open and transparent so far about this and I believe they’re committed to the continued success of our students and the institute.” Student Darryl Dear said he was in the dark about the impact of the cuts. “We’ve lost a lot of money, and that’s all we’ve been told,” he said. “I understand the government needs to balance the books but cutting education is not the way to go.” Australian Education Union acting vice president Greg Barclay said some staff contracts had already not been renewed.

AUE Victorian Branch deputy president Meredith Peace said the fight wasn’t over. “TAFEs are an important employer in the districts, but most importantly they provide education to young people and also to people who are perhaps long-term unemployed and trying to get back in to the workforce,” she said. “The community outrage about this is decision is increasing - there’s no question about that.” Tuesday’s protest followed similar rallies at Ballarat and Mildura, with more planned.

TWO MEN have faced court over the alleged supply of methamphetamine. Police attached to the Albury Highway Patrol stopped a vehicle in Holbrook on Thursday night and allegedly found the drugs in the boot. The drugs were initially estimated to have a street value of $1.25m but that figure was later revised to $3m. A 47-year-old Victorian man and 52-year-old Victorian man were arrested. Both men have appeared in court, charged with drug supply.

A B-DOUBLE was forced off the Hume Highway on Tuesday morning and became bogged in mud. The southbound truck was forced to swerve to avoid a collision with a car merging onto the highway from the Thurgoona road on-ramp. The truck was pulled from the median strip by a tow truck after 40 minutes. Police are urging drivers to be conscious of their surroundings, especially when travelling at high speeds. Investigations are continuing.

from sowing to eating, while Mr Rothnie-Jones communicates extensively with local community centres. “Mr Rothnie-Jones and Mr Oliver deserve their success to date, and it is a pleasure to recognise their leadership in the university community through these prestigious awards,� CSU head of campus Sue Moloney said.

THE major feature in this issue is a 12-page lift-out on the theme women in business. The idea was prompted by the Women In Chamber organisation, which is just about to have its gala event of the year, a dinner with Olympic Gold Medallist Alisa Camplin as the key-note speaker. A sub-group of both chambers of commerce which started a few years ago, this organisation has gradually gathered momentum and the dinner seemed an opportune time to celebrate the achievements of local women in business. What was envisaged as a small feature just showcasing a cross-section of women grew and grew and deadline after deadline had to be extended. The number of local women in business – both by themselves and with their partners – is truly amazing. They range from numerous small businesses to right up at the top of one of the biggest businesses around – Wodonga Council. As Women In Chamber chairperson Anne McNaught said, things have come a long way since the days of the stay-at-home mum. Today, we females juggle it all – work, family and home. No, we’re not truly equal, but we’re a damn sight better off than we were even 20 years ago and the only way is up. The feature starts on page 13. Go on, you blokes, have a read – you might just learn something!

Crash closes Hume Highway By BLAIR THOMSON

CRASH… The truck rests on its side.

Picture: BLAIR THOMSON

THE southbound lane of the Hume Highway had to be closed for several hours on Wednesday following a truck crash 40km north of Albury. A B-Double with two trailers was travelling south on the highway at about 1.30am when it veered onto a median strip. The vehicle moved back onto the road and rolled onto its right side, leaving the 46-year-old male Victorian driver trapped inside. Damage to the left side of the vehicle suggests it also hit the left bank of the road. The driver was eventually removed by the Holbrook branch of the SES and taken to Albury Base Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Pet owners Another supermarket warned of deadly virus By BLAIR THOMSON

‘Get your dog vaccinated’ BY TREVOR JACKSON

1033218-JF19-12

BORDER pet owners are being urged to have their pets immunised with up to nine animals contracting the potentially deadly parvo virus in the past few weeks. Urging dog owners to vaccinate their pets, Wodonga Dog Rescue coordinator Peta McRae said she had lost a foster dog to the disease, with another one lucky to survive. “We had a pup here who was fine,” Peta said. “I had him in care at my place and there was no evidence of anything wrong. We had him desexed on the Friday – Sunday morning he was sick so we treated him. In four days he was dead. “If you do nothing else, vaccinate your pet.” Peta said she found it hard to

understand why people didn’t have their pets immunised and said the initial cost, around $60, was far less than that of treatment, let alone the emotional stress on families and the suffering of the animal. “This big mastiff girl we have – we were told she was vaccinated but when we looked back through her records she’d only had one vaccination in her lifetime,” Peta said. “Even that first puppy one doesn’t really do enough - you’ve got to do it every year.” Peta said often pet owners considered their pets safe in their own backyards but the parvo virus could be picked up on shoes and unknowingly taken home. And a last word of advice: “Just give the vet a ring and get your dog vaccinated,” Peta said.

ALBURY looks set to get yet another supermarket. Discussions with a major supermarket operator – likely Coles or Woolworths, but possibly Aldi – for the Volt Lane Markets underneath the five-storey car park are nearly complete. Shane Radnell from Colliers International said the sale had almost been finalised and the 850sqm supermarket could be operational by Christmas. There are 16 retail units in the car park area and a further two units on the ground floor of the seven-storey tax office. The area will be turned into a shopping hub with cafes and restaurants, and outdoor seating. “The supermarket will take up two of the units in the car park and be located in the middle of the markets,” Mr Radnell said. “It’s getting to the stage of finalisation where we can make an announcement about it in the next

few weeks. “The supermarket will be the anchor tenant with mainly food outlets surrounding it.” Mr Radnell said he had tenants lined up for the majority of the units and was working to finalise sales and lease arrangements. “The tax office is due to be complete by October and the tenants could start their fit out and be operational before Christmas,” he said. “It’s certainly going to be something different for Albury, with quite an intimate feel.” Landscaping Smollett Street and the lanes surround the tax office development will start in coming weeks. Project manager Nathan Smith said the tax office is being fitted out by 85 to 100 tradespeople ahead of its completion, ahead of schedule, in October. The aim of the surrounding landscaping was to create walkways to encourage foot traffic. “We’re where we need to be, project-wise,” he said.

A blood sample was taken to test for drugs or alcohol, and his driving log book will be examined. Police will also investigate whether fatigue or neglect were involved. A crane was brought in to move the Linfox vehicle, which remained on the highway for at least 12 hours, causing traffic to be diverted. A Linfox spokesman said the trucking company would conduct its own investigation. “Our team will thoroughly investigate the incident and would like to thank local authorities for their help, and we regret any inconvenience,” the spokesperson said. The driver was in a stable condition at the time of NewsWeekly going to print.

You be the judge Should pubs shut earlier? ONE of the biggest issues facing all communities is that of alcohol-related violence. Do we need to have pubs and clubs open at 4 or 5 in the morning? Isn’t it more important to get people out of those venues, and off the streets? Why don’t we close all pubs and clubs no later than 1.30am? Surely that would reduce the opportunity for alcohol-related violence on our streets, and have a positive impact on the safety of our city, not to mention a reduction in vandalism. The best way to have an impact on this issue is for the Albury Liquor Accord to lead by example. It needs major licensed venues in this city to be firm in their resolve to close earlier and the rest will follow. AlburyCity Council has membership of the Accord and appoints a councillor to represent them at meetings. It is important that council, as a member of this Accord, remains independent, and represents the interest of the community as a whole. I challenge all candidates who stand for the upcoming local government elections, to commit to working towards earlier closing times at all venues. This could be one of the most important ways of protecting our community from the effects of alcohol related violence, and will set a standard that hopefully other communities will follow. It will free up police resources from having to babysit those who can’t handle their alcohol and who resort to violence. What do you think? Do you think closing earlier will help? Have your say and let me know what you think by emailing me at comments@henkvandeven.com.au.

AN ALBURY councillor believes a group attempting to “save the Uiver� is running around covering old ground, ignoring some of the lessons learned from past attempts to save the historic plane. Cr Henk van de Ven said he had a distinct sense of deja vu when he saw the latest press release from the Friends of the Cumberoona group – which recently expanded to include the historic Uiver aircraft. Council’s recent decision to call for expressions of interest in the plane not only sparked a submission from the group but publicity. The most recent Friends’ press release was about a visit to Holland with a view to organising for a KLM DC-2 aircraft there to fly over to help celebrate the 80th anniversary of the original Uiver landing.

“You see that photo of that Dutch plane – does it look familiar?� Cr van de Ven asked NewsWeekly. “That shot was taken by me in 2008. This was taken by them recently! “Everything they are doing now – bringing the Dutch plane out – we went through in 2008 and gave up on because it was too expensive. It would have cost $1.6m Euro – and that was five years ago. “We approached the Dutch airline KLM and while they gave us their support on paper, no financial support. “Plus there were logistical problems flying the plane across the Middle East.� Cr van de Ven said he was fed up with council being painted as baddies because of its decision to seek expressions of interest in the plane.

“I have been on council for eight years, and served on the Uiver Community Trust established 12 months after I joined council and that was discontinued only recently,� he said. “We have investigated every option. “We set up a charitable trust to raise funds for the restoration of the Uiver, and we tried for several years to get someone interest in restoration and get some government involvement. “We even tried to get the RAAF interested in the restoration, using their apprentices at Wagga. “Despite having lots of publicity functions, the charitable trust raised only $10,000$12,000, which was used for restoration of the tail of the aircraft. “Where were all these people back then?�

Background on the Uiver the route, and Albury’s municipal electrical engineer used the town lighting system to flash the word ALBURY in Morse code. In 1979 the Albury West Rotary Club purchased and restored a derelict sister DC-2 and installed it at the airport to commemorate the events of 1934. Over the years the replica plane gradually deteriorated and had to be removed from display. Estimates to restore it and house it in a suitable hangar have run as high as several million dollars.

BUILT in 1933, the original Uiver was the first of 18 DC-2 aircraft acquired by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for passenger transport. KLM entered the Uiver in the 1934 London-to-Melbourne air race. The aircraft performed well and was only a few hours behind the leader when it left on the last leg to Melbourne. But a fierce electrical storm cut wireless contact and the Uiver drifted off course. RAAF signallers alerted all towns along

By BLAIR THOMSON FUNDRAISING for the Albury Wodonga Carer Accommodation Centre is on the home stretch, with about $1m to go. It’s hoped the 20-room centre, for long-distance patients and their carers, will be running by Christmas. Fight Cancer Foundation managing director Eric Wright said the appeal had raised $1.73m of the $2.5m goal, and with government contributions the total amount sits at $4m for the $5.5m project. “We’re basically on the home straight,” he said.

cannot get off the ground

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE… The main shot of this KLM Dutch DC-2 in Holland was taken by Cr Henk van de Ven in 2008, and the shot on the left (inset) only a few weeks ago by the Friends of the Cumberoona/Uiver group. He said council had also investigated housing the plane in a new building at the airport, or part of the plane in the airport terminal. “Councillors voted against both on cost grounds,” Cr van de Ven said. “Believe me, no-one is more passionate about the Uiver than me. Not only do I have a Dutch heritage, but I have an interest in aviation going back to when I was 17 and tried to join the

RAAF, but couldn’t because I was colour-blind.” He said expressions of interest in the plane closed at the end of April and council staff were preparing a report, which should go to a council meeting for consideration in the next month. Cr van de Ven acknowledged it was public knowledge the Friends of the Cumberoona/ Uiver had put in a proposal to restore the aircraft and house it

“The top floor slab of the building was laid last week, and I believe the roof will be going up in the next two weeks.” While cancer patients from outlying Border towns will be the main users of the facility, people with other conditions will also be able to use it. “A lot of people staying there will be people needing cancer day treatments,” Mr Wright said. “They might need to be in hospital 10 days in a row and might not be able to drive to and from Myrtleford each day.

“And it won’t just be cancer patients; if we’ve got an empty room and someone needs to stay, they can stay there.”

The accommodation centre will complement the cancer treatment centre planned for Albury Base Hospital.

Plans for a further 10 rooms have been drawn up should the need arise and if finances can be secured. Brave Hearts on the Murray president Jenny Black said the fundraising was an “amazing effort”.

in a $250,000 hangar at the airport, but he could not comment specifically on that proposal because it was before council. However, he emphasised council had been down every avenue and what council was now looking for was a lowercost proposal. “We had an option to build a new building at the airport and councillors decided that was not where we wanted to go,” he said.

Loudspeakers, the heart of any sound system WHAT do you look for in a set of speakers? The speaker specifications should reflect the room size and the room’s acoustics. Many of the better speaker brands may skew the tonal characteristics to a certain genre. It is important to listen with a style or recording you are familiar with. It is probably more prudent to listen only to speakers in your budget range to keep your reference balanced. Most importantly the amplifier should mirror the quality of the speakers to receive the most from your loudspeakers. The greatest impact has been the level of affordability. During the HiFi boom height in the 1980s most of the speakers that were sold were the large enclosure speakers, mainly for affordability versus performance. The speaker market today is the most diverse and affordable at any time in the history of audio equipment. The Australian dollar has assisted, joint ventures, modern factories and globally a larger market for HiFi companies to manufacture for have all contributed to over 100 speaker brands available in Australia today. Designs of speakers can vary from a sculptured look through to being entirely invisible, or performing to the level an audio engineer would expect. Whatever the budget, the audition is your most important guide. The internet provides many personal insights – awards info commercials and the like – to assist with the final decision. Loudspeakers are a very personal decision. Become reacquainted with your HiFi and hear what you have been missing.

Commenting on Albury Council’s adoption of its draft budget for 2012/2013 on Monday night - which will see a rise of more than six per cent in the general rate the Federal Member for Farrer said the carbon tax was responsible for half a per cent of the increase. “This was on top of the annual charge for domestic waste increasing by 10 per cent or $18 per household and entry charges at the landfill leaping between 35 per cent to 82 per cent,� she said. “This tax hits your electricity bill, gas, groceries and now council rates. “It is the worst possible slug on families and businesses at the worst possible time.� Opposition spokesman for Climate Ac-

tion Greg Hunt said the increases, particularly for rubbish collection charges, highlighted the broad impact of the tax. “Nationwide, millions of households will be worse off, along with many small businesses and regional producers which receive no compensation from the federal government,� he said. Ms Ley said neighbouring ratepayers would be also impacted, with Wodonga facing a $200,000 carbon tax bill and Greater Hume ratepayers paying $15 extra per household just for access to Albury’s landfill. “The Coalition is committed to addressing climate change but we can achieve a better environment by direct action and positive policies, such as planting trees, solar roofs and a green army, not a carbon tax,� Ms Ley concluded.

The National Simultaneous Storytime, now in its 12th year, aims to celebrate and acknowledge the work being done in libraries, schools and communities around Australia to develop young people’s literacy and numeracy skills.

Pinch of Spice at new restaurant Authentic Indian cuisine NEW restaurant Pinch of Spice offers an authentic Indian dining experience. Located near Regent Cinemas in Dean Street, the business offers a wide range of succulent Indian dishes, cooked by Indian chefs. Owner Ankit Goyal has strived to create a warm, inviting dining area and has a focus on customer service. “The restaurant is amazing and took a lot of time and effort,” he said. “A lot of hard work from the builder Pat Goddee and interior designer Natalie Baker has been put in.” Mr Goyal moved to Australia six years ago and spent several years working at the Grant Hyatt hotel in Melbourne before moving to Albury. He has run pizza, kebab and pasta shops in the local area, and felt the time was right to serve food from his home country. “The menu has got the blend of southern and northern Indian with modern indian curries,” he said “It’s a different blend of spices, made traditionally. “We have four chefs working here and they’re all from India originally.”

Pinch of Spice offers dinein meals from the menu and buffet, and take-away options. Mr Goyal hopes the restaurant, which opened last week, will be fully licensed by next week. “The restaurant feels cosy and the food is authentic,” he said. “What makes us different is the decor of the place, there’s a fair bit of difference in the food, the feel of the restaurant and the way people are treated. “I believe it’s just the place to be.”

“The menu has got the modern blend of southern and northern Indian curries.” Lunch is available Wednesday to Sunday from 11am to 2pm, and dinner each night from 5pm to 10pm with various buffets available. People can make reservations or simply walk in. For more information call Pinch of Spice on 6041 4988.

Young business people Nurses go back to school about to get the edge A NEW organisation geared to foster young businessmen and women will be launched in Albury Wodonga later this month. “Young Business Edge” will be launched upstairs at the Bended Elbow in Albury from 5.30-7.30pm on Wednesday 20 June, the brainchild of the Albury Northside and Wodonga chambers of commerce. The cost will be $30 for members and $39 for non-members. “The development of Young Business Edge aims to involve, inform and inspire young business leaders through dynamic events improving leadership skills, and enhancing personal and professional development in order to develop the next generation of leaders within out business community,” a spokesperson said. “Young Business Edge is aimed at busi-

ness and professional people under the age of 40. “Recognising that our community was losing many of our graduates to the capital cities at the end of their study, this initiative was created to connect the many career-minded individuals who come into our community, with the aim of having them settle in to our community long term. “The development of this group also aims to involve, inform and inspire young business leaders through dynamic events improving leadership skills, and enhancing personal and professional development in order to develop the next generation of leaders within our business community.” Young Business Edge is open to all business people under the age of 40.

BUDDING nurses from Charles Sturt University have returned to school to lend a helping hand with health education at an Albury primary school. Seven first-year nursing students are developing and delivering messages on healthy living over winter for pupils and teachers at St Anne’s Primary School in North Albury. “The students also carried out a health and safety audit of the school and developed newsletter items for parents, reinforcing what their children have learned in the classroom,” project coordinator and CSU nursing academic Sharon Laver said. “The school project also helps our students develop skills in leadership, negotiation, collaboration, health education and research while working with teachers and children in the real world.”

FOR more than 60 years, St Paul’s College has been characterised by a strong sense of community, strong Christian values and - a good balance of after school and weekend activities - making attending this small, but spacious (90-hectare) facility simply unique. Day students enjoy a strong camaraderie with boarding students and enjoy the exposure students from many different localities bring into their lives. Boarding students proudly describe their “home away from home” as a well-kept secret. There is healthy interaction between boarders and day students. St Paul’s offers students and their families personalised attention. As a small day and boarding College (grades 7-12) in the safe, rural environment of Walla Walla, NSW, the college has a reputation for providing a wellrounded education covering the academics (65 per cent of students consistently receive university offers), spiritual, social and physical needs of young Australians. Good bus services bring students to the college from many localities, including Howlong, Albury, Lavington, Thurgoona, Brocklesby, Burrumbuttock, Holbrook, Culcairn, Henty, etc. The college’s curriculum meets Board of Studies requirements and also includes Christian Studies, school sport, work experience and engaging programs in pastoral care that include a focus on peer support, leadership and a Christian approach to rite of passage for both boys and girls. The expansive Agricultural program and farm provides an excellent pathway for students interested in agriculture and includes students from agricultural backgrounds. Many agricultural students go on to careers in Veterinary Science and other science/agricultural related fields. Many interested students are involved in the equine program. College horses are available and some boarding students literally “board with their horse”. Interested students may take Equine Studies as a subject for their HSC. Isabella Lattuga, a passionate equine student, says of college life: “I love St Paul’s - everything about it - and I can’t believe I can go to college with my horse. St Paul’s is an awesome place to go to school - I don’t know anywhere else I can board and be on my horse riding within minutes of finishing school. Of course, we have homework and study, but being with my horse and involved in the equine program, propels me in all areas of college life.” Blake Tierney, 2011 Year 12 Boys’ Boarding House Captain, shared his sentiments about his life at St Paul’s: “St Paul’s prepared me well academically, and it has given me what I needed to make lasting relationships. I had a great high school experience - from academics, social interactions, friendships, sport and beyond. A lot of schools aren’t small and personal like St Paul’s and cater for some people - there’s something for everyone at St Paul’s. I feel I had extra advantages in every aspect of my high school life.” For more information visit www. stpaulscollege.nsw.edu.au or call 02 6029 2200.

Publicity princess to share pearls of wisdom

Game over for store Six lose jobs as video outlet closes its doors By BLAIR THOMSON DEAN Street store GAME has closed, leaving six staff without jobs. The video game retailer was placed into administration last month, and administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers recently decided the local store was not financial viable. Sixty stores have closed around the country and 32 will remain open with reports the company is $120m in debt. A staff member cleaning out the store this week said he was under strict instructions not to talk to the media, but it is understood several staff are owed money. They can attempt to recoup owed entitlements through a federal government scheme or wait for the administration process to finish. All wages were paid up until the store’s closure. “This is a difficult time for employees and closing the stores was not a decision we made easily,� PricewaterhouseCoopers spokesperson Kate Warwick said. “However, it is not financially viable to continue to operate at this level at this time.� A creditors’ meeting was held last week and expressions of interest into the sale of the business, which attracted 30 submissions, closed on the same day. The next step will be for administrators to asses the submissions and a second creditors’ meeting will be held later this month. The local store signed off with the words “game over� and stock was quickly removed from the building. The games and hardware were transferred to the nearest GAME store still operating.

Now is the time to put strategies in place

Six steps to help cut your tax bill

“

Tax planning is as much about the year ahead as the one just gone. If the goal is to minimise tax, then choosing when to contribute to superannuation or sell assets, for example, can make a considerable difference to the amount of tax paid.

THINK SMART… Some simple steps can save you money, says Paul Tucker of RSM Bird Cameron.

PAUL Tucker from RSM Bird Cameron says that by now, individuals and businesses should be putting strategies in place to minimise their taxation liabilities for the financial year ending 30 June. “Tax planning is as much about the year ahead as the one just gone,” he said. “If the goal is to minimise tax, then when to contribute to superannuation or sell assets, for example, can make a considerable difference to the amount of tax paid, not just this year but also in the next one. “Generally business owners should look carefully to defer income and bring forward deductions. Here are six ways that could help you minimise your tax bill.” 1. Invoicing If you are able to raise an invoice after 30 June, this will allow the income to be included in the next financial year. Also, no one likes bad debts but writing them off before 30 June can create a tax deduction. 2. Your car can be a tax-saving machine Many clients undervalue the benefit of keeping a log book. The benefit of having the log book to use can make a

considerable difference to a client’s tax bill. Timing the purchase of a motor vehicle is important because the ATO have changed the small business concessions. This allows a $5000 immediate deduction for buying a motor vehicle from 1 July. 3. Super savings Why pay tax above 46.5 per cent when you could pay tax at 15 per-cent? You can contribute to superannuation and receive a 100 per-cent tax deduction for the amount contributed. It is important to keep in mind the caps that apply and that the contributions must be received by the fund prior to 30 June. The concessional superannuation caps for the 2011/12 year are as follows: Person aged below 50 years of age at 30 June 2012: $25,000 Person aged 50 and over at 30 June 2012: $50,000 Penalty tax applies to anyone who breaches the caps. Business owners nearing retirement require careful planning in relation to their ability to utilise the superannuation system to minimise the tax implications and maximise retirement wealth.

· ·

4. Claim for things you haven’t paid for Just because you haven’t paid for something doesn’t mean that you can’t make a claim. This is on the basis that you have incurred the cost before the end of financial year.

5. Old stock and equipment Scrapping and writing off unused assets from your depreciation schedule or stock listing which have minimal value to the business, can generally create a tax deduction for the written-down value.

6. Halve or pay no capital gains tax Halve your capital gains tax… Holding on to investments for more than 12 months may entitle you to a 50 per-cent discount on your capital gains tax bill.

Or pay no capital gains tax… If you hold investments in a self-managed superannuation fund (‘SMSF’) and are about to commence taking a pension you may be better to defer your sale of investments. Remember, to keep in mind any tax planning initiatives must also take into account cashflow priorities.

Running accounting systems on ‘the Cloud’

WHAT is this cloud thing? Tas Davies CPA said the cloud is simply the internet – a public network that links computers and other devices globally. “Traditionally you would install and run your accounting system on your computer. Cloud computing makes this unnecessary. Your accounting system is on a managed computer system and you can access it wherever there’s an internet connection,” he said. “You can use a computer, a tablet or a mobile phone. If you have used online banking then you have used a cloud solution.” He said for an accounting system this could provide significant benefits: Your system is managed for you, including back-ups, security and upgrades You, your staff, bookkeeper and accountant can log in to it from anywhere Your computer crashes or gets stolen, no problem, you can log in from another and nothing’s been lost It can reduce paperwork and rework by being able to transact anywhere. Mr Davies said there were a growing number of solutions, including: QuickBooks Hosted, CashBook Online, Retail Point of Sale (Reckon) Xero Live Accounts (MYOB) Sasuu FreshBooks JCurve He added that apart from the system’s functionality, there are two important considerations to any cloud solution. “Your cloud computing solution is only as good as your internet connection. In an office situation I recommend ADSL 2+ with a 3G/4G mobile internet back-up,” he said. “Not all cloud providers are equal. If your cloud solution provider is unreliable, lacks support, is unstable, slow and/or lacks security, you will be affected. “I have direct experience with three solutions on the market – QuickBooks Hosted, CashBook Online and Xero. “I can vouch for these providers as reputable cloud solution providers. They are run by publicly listed companies in Australia and New Zealand and have tier-one bank level security. “Cashbook Online is suitable for simple businesses with no payroll or inventory requirements. It is designed for those with little computer experience or support and can easily be run online or offline by using replicating database technology. “Xero is an upcoming accounting solution that has a user-friendly web interface, although for its price, the functionality compared to QuickBooks is limited.

· · ·

·

· · · · · ·

“In most cases, I recommend QuickBooks Hosted Premium, provided you have a reliable internet connection. This system provides a very rich functionality and is well supported. “It has bank-grade tier-one level security, with the servers located in Australia and the availability of the system is now very high (ie. outages are rare). Australia is rated number two worldwide for data security and privacy regulations. (No.1 is Japan). So if you trust your bank then you can trust Reckon. “QuickBooks Hosted Premium marries two very nice pieces of technology – QuickBooks Enterprise and a Citrix Receiver. “I have used and abused many computerbased accounting systems over the past 20 years and QuickBooks Enterprise is the best in my experience. It is better than many much more expensive applications. Yes, it has limitations but they generally don’t matter as you can connect to other software where your business has a specific need that QuickBooks doesn’t cater for. “As for Citrix Receiver I will relate a true story. About 18 months ago I migrated a client onto QuickBooks Hosted Standard - a cloud system. She’s a conveyancer located on the Central Coast and as I was in Albury, a cloud system appeared to be appropriate. After about six months my client was threatening to strangle me and probably would have, had she not lived 500km away! Her main grievance was losing the connection every three minutes, requiring her to repeatedly log back in, culminating in hours of lost time. For a small business operator, time is more valuable than money, as they can’t get time back. “She was frustrated. I was frustrated. Even tech support was frustrated, having spent hours trying various remedies. Finally we discovered that the Windows RDP software was incompatible with the client’s router. “Rather than replacing the router I thought I would try using the Premium Citrix connection. It costs a little more but hey, what’s money when it comes to your sanity? “It fixed the problem. My client went from wanting to strangle me to wanting to hug me; their screen was more responsive, much easier to read and it was fast! “Geez, I thought. I might try some of this Premium Citrix myself. And wow, it’s like night and day. “So for those of you running QuickBooks with a reliable internet connection, my advice: change to the Hosted Premium solution. You get QuickBooks Enterprise, the top-shelf QuickBooks software, a desktop copy (just in case) and it performs extremely well.” For a complimentary consult with Namsat Systems Accounting call Tas on 6041 5885.

Tax cheats face fines the full extent of the law to ensure honest taxpayers have their interests looked after. Australians don’t want to face an unfair burden when dishonest people avoid their tax obligations, and they expect the ATO to provide a level playing field.” Mr D’Ascenzo said it was important to note the ATO’s commitment to encouraging willing and proper participation in the tax and superannuation systems. “Prosecution is often a last resort, but it’s there to protect the vast majority of taxpayers who do the right thing from being disadvantaged by those that don’t,” he said. People who are unclear of their tax or superannuation obligations, or are struggling to meet their obligations, should contact the ATO on 13 11 42 to discuss their situation. If you believe someone is doing the wrong thing, you can report suspected tax fraud by calling the ATO on 1800 060 062.

THE Australian Taxation Office says its prosecution of more than 1500 people for tax and superannuation offences sends a clear warning to tax cheats that they can expect to be caught. Speaking at the release of the ATO’s third quarter update of prosecution results, Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo said the figures showed there were significant risks and consequences for people who do not properly fulfil their legal and civic responsibilities in relation to tax and superannuation. “The year-to-date results to 31 March reveal that the ATO successfully prosecuted 1106 individuals and 400 companies for tax and superannuation offences,” Mr D’Ascenzo said. “We have a range of measures in place to ensure we detect and deal with those who evade their obligations. This includes information sharing and working with other government agencies, and also with overseas counterparts. “The ATO pursues tax cheats to

“YOU’D have to be crazy to be in this business for so long,” says Jon Stevens. The Noiseworks front-man, solo artist and former INXS singer has been making music for more than three decades, his most notable hits coming in the 1980’s with Noiseworks tracks Reach Out (Touch Somebody), No Lies and Take Me Back. While some would think it’s crazy to spend months at a time travelling the world, separated from family and friends, the thrill of of performing makes it all worthwhile. “I love what I do … you’re doing a job that’s fun and rewarding on so many levels,” Stevens said. “Every night is like a grand final for me. “I don’t know what halfway is, it’s go hard or go home.” It’s been an interesting journey for Stevens, who is heading to SS&A Club tonight (Friday). Originally from New Zealand, he achieved some success there as a pop star in the 1970’s . He helped form Noiseworks in 1986, and when the band disbanded he took to the stage to perform in the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar. He wrote the official song for the 2000 Olypmics and spent three-and-ahalf years singing with INXS following the death of Michael Hutchence, who he listed as a friend. He’s currently working with the reformed Noiseworks on a new album, touring with his band and simply enjoying life. “I should have been dead two-and-ahalf years ago but by some miracle I was saved,” he said. “I’m happy to be around doing something I love, being around for my children and being on the planet, because it wasn’t looking too good there for a while.” After feeling run down, which he initially blamed on a heavy workload, Stevens made a visit to his doctor. He passed every test and a MRI scan was suggested. “My main left artery in my heart was 99 per cent blocked,” he said. “They said I probably wouldn’t have lasted the week, I would have dropped dead. “It was really interesting because the

MRI scan was an afterthought. “I took the test and it saved my life, but it makes me wonder how many people die because they can’t afford it or they opt not to take it. “Anyway, it was pretty crazy.” Coming so close to death gave Stevens a new lease on life which remains with him today. “You try not to take things for granted and think of your family and friends and the people you care about,” he said. “That’s the most important thing. “I’m just so grateful to have gone to the doctor and been found because I was a dead man walking.

Box office

“It’s insane because I’m a fit and healthy guy. “It definitely makes you appreciate life more. “You appreciate what you do, your family and your friends.” His live shows are a career retrospective taking in his best work. “I have a great band of musicians and we’re just a team that goes out, has fun and plays music,” he said. “It’s always one big sing-along at my gigs.” Jon Stevens plays a free gig at the SS&A Club tonight (Friday).

Men in Black get their form back By BLAIR THOMSON

BEL AMI (MA15+) Thu to Wed 11.00am, 4.15, 9.00

ENJOYMENT… He’s been at it for quite some time, but Jon Stevens still gets a kick from playing music.

MOVIE: Men in Black (M) DURATION: 112 minutes HERE come the Men in Black, once again. Following on from the first two flicks – the original quite good, the sequel pretty dismal – the extraterrestrial space fighters are again trying to protect the Earth from all sorts of bizarre and revolting creatures. Boris the Animal, played by a well-disguised Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords, has escaped his maximum security prison on the moon and is destined for Earth to wipe out our suited heroes in Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

He can’t quite kill the duo and instead travels back to 1969 to wipe out Agent K. Here’s where it gets a little muddled. Time travel in movies often requires a lot of drawn-out explanation, and a lot mental wrangling to decipher the future consequences of what you’re watching. The movie hits the ground running with a good pace but is a little confused and stagnant in the middle section as the film makers try to explain why it all makes sense. That said, this is a surprisingly good film and a lot more entertaining than expected. It doesn’t take itself too seriously,

but is grounded enough to feel engaging and gets the balance right between action and dialogue. The use of 3D is brilliant but at times a little disturbing as you watch tentacles quiver on a disgusting creature or something similarly gross, but overall it’s visually flawless. Smith is great, dropping in sweet little moments of comedy and Clement does surprisingly well as the rogue space villain. The whole film has a comic book feel with vividly saturated colour and is a fairly decent piece of light entertainment.

Gala dinner highlights success of local women

From strength to strength By CAROLINE STRAINIG WHEN it comes to women in business, the Albury Wodonga region can hold its head up high, with many women in high places, including Albury Council Mayor Alice Glachan and Wodonga Council CEO Patience Harrington. Two women also lead the Albury Northside Chamber of Commerce and Wodonga Chamber of Commerce, Kerryn Arnold and Alison Reed respectively. However, as is the case in any business, constant reassessment and innovation are needed and the region’s women are not resting on their laurels. Formed in 2008, the Women In

Chamber organisation is a joint subgroup of both chambers whose task it is to ensure no stone is left unturned in helping local women succeed. Every year Women In Chamber stages three events: a gala dinner, STAKs event (sharing tools and knowledge) and a fun networking day at the races to coincide with Oaks Day. They are just about to stage their next gala dinner – on 15 June featuring Australia’s first Winter Olympics Gold Medallist, Alisa Camplin (see story and booking details page 14). Ms Camplin is also a highly successful businesswoman, including 16 years in an executive role with corporate giant IBM.

Albury Northside Chamber of Commerce business manager Kerryn Arnold said one of the reasons Women In Chamber was set up was so that women could get together and discuss any issues they were facing and to communicate with one another. “Women communicate differently to men – we are much more open – and being able to network and talk to other women is really important,� she said. Ms Arnold said Women In Chamber had gone from success to success. “The latest step was earlier this year forming an alliance with Women’s Network Australia, which gives local women access to a network of women

and business opportunities right across Australia,� she said. She believed the organisation would become increasingly important in coming years, because more and more women were venturing into business, particularly small business. “Statistically 67 per cent of new start-up businesses are owned by women, so a lot more women are going into business and facing those challenges and taking those risks and being innovative,� she said. Women In Chamber chairperson Anne McNaught said things had changed a lot since she was a child. “When I was small my mother

stayed home – today women are out there working and juggling being a mother and home-life,� she said. She felt it was becoming a more level playing field, but there was still work to be done because bias remained in some sections of the business world such as the financial sector. “One hurdle is that most women take two or three years off work when they have children, whereas their male partner continues uninterrupted, so when they go back to work they are behind,� she said.

WOMEN In Chamber have secured Winter Olympic champion and contemporary business leader Alisa Camplin as the key-note speaker at the annual Women In Chamber Gala Dinner on 15 June. Best known for being Australia’s first female Winter Olympic Gold Medallist, Ms Camplin is also successful in the business world and will be sharing her insights. Ms Camplin sits on the board and audit committees of many high-profile organisations and is now gearing up to start her own internet-based business after 16 years working with global giant IBM, including a time as the strategy and transformation executive for IBM’s Global Technology Services business. Women In Chamber chairperson Anne McNaught said it was great for the businesses of the region that they had been able to secure such a prestigious speaker for this event. “The experiences that Ms Camplin will share with our members and guests will provide insight and value to the business women of our region,� she said. Last year 440 women attended, with guests travelling from interstate, Mel-

bourne, Sydney, Wagga and other outlying regions to attend the event and Women In Chamber are confident this year’s event will also attract visitors to our region. Ms Camplin won her medal after landing a spectacular triple-twisting double somersault at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. She is also remembered for competing less than three months after her second major knee reconstruction to take Bronze at the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics. Ms Camplin appears by arrangement with Saxton Speakers Bureau. The dinner will be held on Friday 15 June at the Albury Entertainment Centre. Tickets are $120pp for chamber members and $140pp for non-members and are available through the Albury Northside Chamber.

A long-standing business established around 30 years ago, the business has undergone a complete refurbishment to create a clean, modern and spacious feel and today employs four senior and two junior stylists. Lauren took over the sole ownership of the business four years ago and has continued to make changes to ensure a pleasurable experience for her clients. Lauren has endeavoured to run a chemical-free salon and after being introduced to Original & Mineral products in 2011, which are ammonia, resorcinol and PPD free, Zabuui became an O&M

concept salon, embracing the product con and d the culture of working in a salon free from harsh chemicals. “The salon also uses biodegradbl towels and recyclable hair foil and able is constantly researching new ways to operate an environmentally friendly salon,” Lauren said. Lauren has been in the industry for 20 years, beginning her career in Ballarat with Paul Tabbitt, brand ambassador for Original & Mineral products. Lauren says she has experienced many highlights in her career so far. These include a five-day boot camp with internationally renowned hair guru Sharon Blain and doing the wedding hair for former employee and close friend Jenna Densten, who starred on The Block with husband Josh in 2011. A story after the wedding in Woman’s Day featured the

02 6040 0240 hair styled by Lauren and her team at Zabuui. Lauren says all the staff at Zabuui are extremely friendly and confident in providing honest hairdressing advice and love to think outside of the square. Client feedback is positive, not just relating to the finished product but also the friendly environment provided in the salon. A point of difference at Zabuui is an smart phone app which Lauren has created for her clients, compatible with Apple, Android and HTML formats. “It is a fantastic way for clients to keep up to date with everything happening in the salon,” Lauren said. “Vouchers and other incentives are available through the app as well as a gallery for clients to post their own photos.” Lauren says most importantly it is an environmentally friendly way to keep in touch with clients because there is no paper involved.

Perls of Albury Judy Hayhoe JUDY HAYHOE manages one of the better known clothes stores on the Border. Perls of Albury has been established in the region since 1909 and is well known for its quality and customer service. Perls stocks a wide range of men’s and ladie’s fashions including casual, evening wear, jewellery, scarves, accessories and millinery. They also stock a range of work wear, men’s bowls wear and accessories and knitwear. “You will ďŹ nd just about anything to do with fashion at Perls and the stock is plentiful,â€? Judy said.

Judy’s involvement in the business is second-generation with her father Bill beginning as an errand boy at 17 years-of-age in 1947. Bill soon progressed through the ranks to become the store manager and purchased the business in the late 1970s with his wife Margaret. Perls moved to its current Olive Street location in 1981. The Hayhoe family has seen many changes in business and shopping habits over the years including the introduction of the 40-hour week, decimal currency and the wide-spread use of credit cards and the EFTPOS system.

Shopping hours have changed from closing at midday Saturday to stores being open seven days a week, including public holidays. Cash handling over the years has changed from hand-written dockets and a cash drawer to manual and electronic cash registers and now a computerised point-of-sale system. Until recently ill health has prevented Bill being in the store, but on occasions you will still see Margaret. Judy is the frontline friendly face that you will see now at Perls. She prides herself on quality customer service and the mission statement of the business

is to treat people well, provide value for money and exceptional service. “If we keep to those values people will keep coming back, and that’s exactly what they do,� Judy said. Judy has been a member of the Frontline Retail Group since 1987 and is regional chairperson who organises and facilitates retail members meetings throughout NSW and Victoria. She continues to introduce upmarket and designer labels to the store and ensures that the store provides quality fashions, and customer service to everyone.

Little Me Markets

Jade Tauber & Kath Rattray JADE TAUBER and KATH RATTRAY are the team behind the Little Me Markets held every month in Wodonga. Both are busy mums and it was while they were in hospital having babies midlast year that the seeds of the markets – which sell hand-crafted baby-ware and

handmade items like jewellery, homemade decor and food – were sown. “We started chatting about things and how there were no baby markets for craft,” Jade said. Jade wanted to showcase the Baby Mumma range of cloth nappies and amber teething products she was selling via her Facebook site. Kath, an interior designer, wanted an outlet for her Doodlebugs children’s illustrations, which she had started as a hobby but were already showing commercial potential. They discovered an untapped pool of mothers making craft and selling baby clothes from their homes, and many months of hard work and distributing fliers later the Little Me Markets were born. Staged at Sumsion Garden on the third Sunday of the month, the markets feature at least 50 stall holders and have already attracted a strong following even though they are only a few months old. “We were bowled over by the feedback,” Kath said. “It was beyond anything we had hoped.” The markets run from 10am until 2pm. www.littlememarket.com

Freedom Furniture offers a wide range of affordable furniture and homewares that Laura described as having a “designer edge”. And with that focus on customer service, Laura said the business went that extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. “We also offer decorator advice to take the stress out of home furnishing and our customers often commend us on our service,” Laura said.

CHRIS SMITH has been running her business Happy Gardeners for 17 years, but still gets just as much joy out of her job as she ever did. “There’s something wonderful about seeing a garden come together from the start to finish – it’s good for the soul,” Chris said.

A qualified horticulturalist, Chris works as a garden design, maintenance and landscaping consultant during the week and at the weekend can be found at her open-to-the-public nursery at the intersection of Old Sydney Road and the Riverina Highway, Thurgoona. She specialises in natives and eat-andpick plants and has a keen interest in the environment. “We’d have to have almost 2000 plants here, at prices very competitive with other local nurseries,” she said. One of the aspects of her job, she enjoys the most is helping someone design their garden, or remedy mistakes they have made. “I find a lot of people call me in when they have already started putting plants in and realise that they need some expert advice to make sure it really works,” she said. Basic landscape design plans range from $69 to $110. Her skills and attitude have won her a lot of repeat business, and today she employs another qualified horticulturalist to help her.

Cathy started Everything Dance in August 2011 and has focussed on “building a good clientele with great customer service and the want and needs of our budding dancers”. One of the reasons the shop has attracted such a strong and immediate following is that there is no other store like this in Wodonga. “We cater for many surrounding areas such as Corryong, Mt Beauty, Yarrawonga and up to Wagga Wagga,” Cathy said. “The change rooms are beautifully decorated and there is loads of room to move-even with a waiting area with comfy chairs and magazines to read.” Cathy also sponsors dance competitions to encourage young local talented dancers. “Having an interest with my customers’ passion is great,” Cathy said. “It’s so nice to see them ‘strut their stuff’ and enjoy themselves.”

The oils have been around for four years but are relatively new to Australia. Every batch is independently tested to ensure there are no filler, chemicals or pesticides present.

Adele Sommer & Fiona Fell ADELE SOMMER and FIONA FELL t iinnovative ti B d FELL, two Border businesswomen, have formed a partnership to produce a website to promote greater attendance to events in the region. TheEventGuide.com.au was created by Adele (co-founder/ director of sales & marketing) and Fional (co-founder/director of Info Tech) and is scheduled to launch on 1 June. “We’ve created a site that is simple to access, inexpensive to list, and a one-stop search for

local activities and events,” all loc Adele d l said. “There are so many great “T event events held in this region, but few can c afford to advertise effect effectively, so sadly are not achieving full capacity. This no longer has to be the case, as we provide comprehensive media exposure to draw traffic to the site, and attention to events listed on TheEventGuide.com. au. “We also encourage you to list your website as we provide a link to drive more traffic to your site.” Event listings are arranged by date, postcode and catego-

ries including (but not limited to):Business & Networking; Markets; Social Clubs; Art/ Galleries; Theatre; Festivals; Free Events; Family/Children; Fetes/ Fairs; Music; Sport; Pubs/Clubs and Workshops/ Classes. “During the planning, it was extremely important to us that our site be affordable to cater for the majority and not exclude not-for-profit organisations and clubs,” Adele said. “Listing fees are affordable at a flat rate of $25/week (no minimum applies) and considerably less for tailored packages of six months/12 months.”

TheEventGuide.com.au also incorporates Garage Sales, Where to Eat and Where to Stay so now there is no excuse to not fill up your weekend calendar. To list your activity, event or garage sale on TheEventGuide.com.au go to www.theeventguide.com.au and follow the prompts.

White Box Rise Wodonga Amanda Kotzur AMANDA KOTZUR is land sales manager at the White Box Rise Estate and is involved in the promotion and presentation of the development on every level, including assisting with marketing and being the “voice and face” of the estate on TV and radio. Amanda makes sure she stays in touch with the market/community so what is being designed in the new stages is based on what the market wants in this large development. “White Box Rise is one of Albury Wodonga’s premier developments,” Amanda said. “Built on the old Bandiana Army land, White Box Rise is one of Albury Wodonga’s premier developments, and only five minutes’ drive from the town centre. “It is fast becoming ‘the place to live’ in Wodonga because it is not just a land subdivision but a real community. “It caters for every demographic, from retirees to investors and families.

“Facilities include a shopping centre, medical centre, pharmacy, world-class aquatic centre, state-ofthe-art primary school - which also offers daycare – plus a pre-school, retirees’ precinct, lifestyle lots, walking tracks, display village etc, all within walking distance.” Amanda said lot sizes and style varied to suit a broad demographic, from the smallest at 300sqm to largest at 1637sqm. “White Box Rise hosts the largest display village in Wodonga and is the most versatile and central estate in Wodonga, and many local mums and dads from Albury Wodonga have invested in the estate,” she said. “The project has been in development for five years and will continue to expand over the next five years to be a significant part of the Wodonga community.” The land sales office is located at 388 Beechworth Rd, Wodonga, and is open seven days a week, from 9.30a.m–5.30p.m weekdays and 12 -3pm on weekends.

Not just your dream home, your dream lifestyle White Box Rise is proving to be the most popular address in town. Its only 5 minutes from the CBD, complete with a shopping centre, school and aquatic centre, but it’s the landscaped boulevards, parklands and natural setting that provides the balance of busy living with the serenity of a bushland environment. Come and experience life on the good side of town, visit Amanda at White Box Rise this weekend.

BIG HAIR, bad fashion and synthfilled pop numbers. These will all feature at You Can’t Stop the Beat, a new production from the Albury Wodonga Theatre Company celebrating the best music from the 80’s. The three performances at the Albury Entertainment Centre, commencing Thursday, 7 June, will feature some of the Border’s best performers including Jason Parker, Steve Armati and Paris Zachariou. Director Joseph Thomsen said the show followed last year’s performance which featured the best songs from movie musicals. “In every era there’s always a few songs that transcend the charts and become part of our collective memory and experience,” he said. “And they’re the songs that we’re going to be performing on the night. “Just like last year, we really want people to feel an irresistible need to get up and dance, be part of the show and have a good time. “That’s what it’s all about.” Music from Wham!, Madonna, Culture Club and Cindy Lauper will feature at the show. “We’ve got a nine-piece band performing on stage complete with a 10-voice chorus and a team of local singers,” Mr Thomsen said.

BACK IN THE 80’S… Steve Armati will perform at You Can’t Stop the Beat. Picture: BLAIR THOMSON

“Another great feature is that we’re working with seven or eight local non-profit community groups and charities, raising money for their great work in the community. “We’d also love people to come along dressed in their favourite 80’s gear.” Mr Thomsen said both of last year’s shows sold out and he hoped to sell out all three shows this year.

What drives decisions THE REIV regularly surveys its members to measure market sentiment and develop a deeper understanding of what influences decisions about buying, selling or leasing. One of the topical issues canvassed is what drives people to buy, or not to buy property, both residential and investment? Not surprisingly, there are differences between the two classes of purchaser. For those considering a residential purchase, the most important factor was stamp duty. Buyers understandably see spending four to five per cent of the purchase price on this tax as a sig-

nificant impediment. That accords with the views of economists who cite the tax as an impediment to moving. It was closely followed by the obvious issues of securing finance, interest rates and the availability of quality stock. Interestingly, this suggests that buyers are more likely to compromise on the quality of the home than they are on the cost. Of little importance were planning issues and land tax. Investors ranked interest rates as the most important factor and were much more concerned about the impact of planning and building laws.

FRESH off the back of an inspiring interleague victory over the Hampden football league, the regular interest in Brendan Fevola and the recent signing of Sydney premiership captain Barry Hall, the Ovens and Murray is now more than ever the flavour of the month. The Victorian Country Football League (VCFL) has acknowledged this by declaring this weekend’s game between the Wodonga Bulldogs and Yarrawonga as the VCFL game of the month.What does this mean? Well of course the game receives additional media coverage with television, radio and print advertising campaigns promoting it as such. The big clash will also have its share of VCFL representatives in attendance plus a special guest will attend a pre-game luncheon. The guest is normally a past AFL footballer of reasonable note. Describing this weekend’s guest as “someone of reasonable note� would be like describing the Queen of England as “ that old lady who is sometimes on the television�. This weekend’s special guest will be none other than the two-time Brownlow Medallist Greg ‘Diesel’ Williams, whose football achievements are second to none. In addition to his Brownlows he has also won a Norm Smith Medal, received four All Australian honours, won two club best and fairests, represented Victoria on nine occasions, played 259 senior AFL games and was named in the AFL’s Team of The Century. To a region that is generally starved of any current AFL players, the Diesel’s attendance will be a welcome addition to what will be a very important game on its own merits. Wodonga vs Yarrawonga Despite many rumours and speculation there will be no Brendan Fevola on show in this game, well not at Wodonga’s doing anyway. Unlike Myrtleford the Dog’s will not put financial gain ahead of its prospects of a victory. Wodonga will be out to win on Saturday and paying an opposition player and inevitably making your opponent stronger on the day is something that doesn’t sit well with the Bulldogs. Despite a win in the opening round of the season Wodonga hadn’t shown an immediate improvement on last year’s performance until the last few weeks. Unfortunately the Dogs have had their share of injury worries and the loss of O&M defender Zach Jones has been hard to cover. In another recent blow interstate recruit Nathan Lyons has

also declared he will no longer remain at the John Flower Oval, citing some personal issues. However, in a typically Wodonga trait rather than pity their misfortune the Bulldogs have bandied together and the result has been some impressive victories. Playing coach Ben Hollands is kicking goals, gun mid fielder Brett Doswell has been outstanding and the depth from Wodonga’s reserves has filtered through and been up to the contest. Yarrawonga are, of course, a different story. They have been up and about all season so far with their only loss coming a fortnight ago to their nemesis the Albury Tigers. When Fev has been absent Brad O’Connor has been great in the goal square, and their midfield has been exceptionally efficient as expected. Almost above anything else this season the Pigeons long to defeat the Tigers. Just what impact last round’s loss to them will have is yet to be seen. I think this game will be a lot closer than many would expect. I believe we will continue to see Wodonga improve and if the Pigeons are still focusing on last round’s loss rather than the game at hand we could see an upset. Fittingly for the VCFL match of the round I am tipping a close one with Yarrawonga just getting home by eight points. Other games Wangaratta’s topsy-turvey season will continue with a victory over Corowa despite lowering their colours last round to the Saints. North Albury will chalk up its second win for the year when it meets Myrtleford at home. Lavington and the Wangaratta Rovers should be an incredible game, but I think the Panthers may just prevail and it’s hard to tip against the reigning premier’s form when they meet the Raiders at home.

Local Sport Bandits simply the best Hard work pays off with a top-of-the-table spot By TREVOR JACKSON IT’S been the best start to a season in around a decade for the Albury Wodonga Bandits with the team currently top of the SEABL south conference ladder. And crowds are flocking to the Lauren Jackson Sports Centre to watch the home side take on the best in Australia’s premier winter basketball league. Bandits’ coach Brad Chalmers, a stalwart on the Border basketball scene has seen the highs and lows through his involvement with the club over many years and is more than impressed with this season’s effort so far. He said a combination of preseason hard work, quality import players and Australian signings have all led to the impressive performances. “We’ve been struggling for a few years and to get some rewards for the hard work has been really good,” Chalmers said. But he says there’s still a long way to go in the 2012 season and he’s motivated to keep his troops rallied and focused on the job. “The massive challenge is to keep doing it now, that’s the key part to all of this,” he said. “It’s all right to do it for half a year but the challenge is to repli-

cate it again.” The reality for the Border team, something that’s been off the table for many seasons, is a playoff position come season’s end. “That’s the carrot,” Chalmers said. “But for us it’s still one week at a time. The ladder is fairly tight so you can’t be falling off the wagon for too long otherwise you’re going to fall behind pretty quick. You miss a couple of weeks and you’re back into the pack. We’ve just got to keep trying to maintain some wins and some momentum.” The Bandits face Bendigo this weekend at home and Chalmers expects a tough hit-out and an entertaining game for the home fans. “Bendigo are on fire at the minute,” he said. “They’re probably the best team form-wise so it’s a massive challenge. They’ve won six or seven games in a row on the back of a slow start. It will be a great opportunity for us to get a big scalp, but we’ll have our work cut out no doubt about that.” Saturday night’s games tip off at 6pm with the Lady Bandits followed by the men at 8pm.

Border five make state side

ADELAIDE BOUND… Rhys King, Corben Rawlings, Jacob Koschitzke, Ben Kelly and Tom O’Brien – ready to tackle the best in Adelaide when they line up for the NSW State primary school team. Picture: TREVOR JACKSON

FIVE Border boys will be tackling the top teams in the country when they line up for the NSW State AFL primary school team in Adelaide from 21 to 29 July. Jacob Koschitzke and Rhys King (Albury Public), Ben Kelly (St Annes North Albury), Corben Rawlings (Holy Spirit) and Tom O’Brien (St Patricks Albury) were all selected for McKillop and Riverina teams who went head-to-head recently in a carnival at Griffith, with both teams making the grand final. Riverina won the final by two points and the boys, based on their performances, were then selected to represent NSW.

The state team consists of players from the north coast of NSW right through to the Border region and shows the strength of the sport in the area with the five representatives in the team. The seven-day carnival in Adelaide will provide the boys with a further opportunity to progress to national selection. A training camp for the whole state team will be held at Barooga during the July school holidays after which the local boys will travel to Sydney, meet up with the rest of the team and head across to Adelaide.
