Band sets record straight After receiving a notice to vacate their Hovell Street premises, the Wodonga Citizens Band is telling their side of the story in a letter to you! FOR DETAILS TURN TO PAGE 9

Band gets boot By KRYSTEN MANUEL WODONGA Citizens Band (WCB) is lashing out at Wodonga Council after being given a formal notice to vacate on 3 October. The committee of Wodonga Citizens Band has written a letter to the community explaining they were not informed of changes to their tenure, speculating that council is systematically removing all not-for-profit organisations from central Wodonga in the name of commercial redevelopment, and asking for support in the building of a new not-for-profit arts and entertainment facility. The letter explains that originally, in 1966 the then Wodonga Council moved the WCB from Vermont Street to Crown Land in Hovell Street, having the land reserved in order to secure the tenure of the band. “Since the late 1990s to the present ... the Wodonga Council set about removing the security of tenure of WCB at the Hovell Street site,” it reads. “Wodonga City undertook the rezoning of the band hall site without specifically notifying the band or referencing the change in the formal amendment documentation. Indeed it didn’t come to the attention of the band until 2013. “In 2004 ... the then Labor State Government gazetted a revocation of the reserved land status of the site. Again the band was not informed. “Although the band did not know it, the apparent effect of the revocation of the reserved land status was to remove secu-

rity of tenure and to take away effective ownership or control of the fixed assets on the current band hall land.” Wodonga Council CEO Patience Harrington argues the band has been in the loop for over a decade. “Wodonga Council has been in contact with the WCB executive for a period spanning more than 10 years in which it has discussed the proposed redevelopment of Wodonga’s central business area, including rezoning and relocation options for the band,” she said. A response from the WCB said this contact was informal, with substantive and documented information and proposals limited and inadequate. Perhaps most importantly, the committee of WCB has suggested their eviction is part and parcel of a larger goal by Wodonga Council to push notfor-profit organisations away from central Wodonga to make room for more commercial redevelopment. “... it appears that Wodonga Council may have been systematically and methodically removing not-for-profit and other community groups out of the central activity area of Wodonga,” the Committee of WCB letter reads. “Wodonga Citizens Band is just another not-for-profit group that the council is seeking to evict from Crown Land and banish to the outskirts in the name of commercial redevelopment and revitalisation of the city centre.” Ms Harrington said that

since the original agreement was reached with the band in the 1960s, the city had changed significantly and grown at a rapid rate, with the current location of the WCB now forming part of the larger central business area. Finally, the WCB are calling for support for development of a new arts and entertainment facility run by an association of not-for-profit groups on a wholly recurrent cost self-sufficiency basis. “This facility will form the home of several community groups whose current locations are insecure, under threat or inadequate,” the letter from the WCB committee says. “The council has not been asked for a financial contribution to the project but has been asked to provide strategic planning and local political support. “Council has been unable to support the proposal as it finds difficulty in accepting or identifying a government land site within the central activity area of Wodonga that would be acceptable to council. “This seems extraordinary at a time when vast tracts of government land are being dealt with as part of the redevelopment post closure of the rail line. “Wodonga Citizens Band is simply asking for support from Wodonga City Council and the wider community to enable the band and its associated groups to develop a community not-forprofit arts and entertainment facility in the central activity area of Wodonga.”

Editorial Band move’s sour note THIS week’s edition of NewsWeekly has focused a great deal on the relocation of the Wodonga Citizens Band Hall. Leaving the issue of when and how the band has or has not been informed of the move aside, the bottom line is the band has nowhere to go at this stage. How can it be ethical or moral to turf out a long-time community not-for-profit organisation and give them no real alternative? Of course, this is acknowledging the seven suggested sites by Wodonga Council which the band have deemed completely inappropriate. The band has said in its letter to the community, that “informally and very loosely the council has made suggestions ... that have shown a gross lack of knowledge of the operational needs and activities of the band or a total disrespect for either the band or the receiving communities within which most of the nominated sites are located.” The letter goes on to mention their annual contribution to Carols by Candlelight and theatre productions as examples, which have many full program rehearsals meaning 100 or more people and their vehicles will need to be accommodated. “If this were to be in a residential neighbourhood as suggested for many of the council nominated sites, the impacts on the residents would be enormous,” the letter said. “It would be disruptive enough just having a normal 40-odd turn out for weekly band rehearsals.” The answer? Don’t move the band until they have somewhere appropriate to go.

Deanie on show By KRYSTEN MANUEL

WHAT does ‘doing a Deanie’ mean to you? Does it take you back to when you first got your P-plates, when you piled all your mates in the car and drove down Dean Street, windows down and music on full bore? Does it appeal to the shopper within who zigzags their way down the street, gathering bags as they go? Or is it the myriad of sounds that lets you know exactly where you are in the world?

Save $$$

A variety of talented local artists have thoroughly explored this question, and the results were launched at AlburyCity’s new exhibition, Doing a Deanie, last Friday. Exhibition curator Bianca Acimovic said the exhibit comes at a time where imminent change is afoot - the redevelopment of the Regional Art Gallery for one, and Doing a Deanie is a chance to reflect on the ‘main artery’ of Albury. Doing a Deanie celebrates the role of main streets in regional centres, through the past in development and change, in the present as a point of commercial outlets, shopping, culinary experiences and the show or car culture. The exhibition brings together works for the city’s collection, supported by new commissions by regional artists as they interpret the past present and future role of main streets in regional centres.

Works include a number of new commissions, along with photos and paintings sourced from the AlburyCity collection. Local photographer and filmmaker Andrew Pearce is one of four local artists who have been commissioned to create work for Doing a Deanie. His work, The Street Below is an eerie short film that observes how Dean Street would react to the imminent threat of the Hume Dam wall collapsing. Joshua Salisbury-Carter has also been commissioned to create a work that will encourage visitors to travel down the Lane Gallery though triggers and sensors. “I managed to rope in a few friends and family members to come on recording expeditions down Dean Street to collect samples for the piece,” he said. “Luckily the recording device I was using was small enough for me to do some stealth recordings that capture the sounds of Dean Street without creating too much of stir. “It is funny how many sounds you notice that you would normally miss when concentrating on recording. For example, I had never noticed hearing the post office tower bell before even though I have walked down Dean Street countless times.” Doing a Deanie is on until 8 December at the Albury LibraryMuseum.

Bra project’s uplifting experience

Release slammed

By KRYSTEN MANUEL CENTRO LAVINGTON’S Recycle a Bra and Support the McGrath Foundation Campaign has gained momentum over the past fortnight, with organisers already hailing it a success. “Since the coverage on the news, the box has been emptied every week, it’s just incredible,” Centro Lavington’s Amanda McGrath said. “There could be around 500 so far. “It was a bit of a trial - to put it out there and see what we get, but people are even buying new bras, they’re really getting on board.” The initiative coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness month, and will not only raise funds for the McGrath Foundation, but also provide a stock pile of bras, new or old, to the Uplift Project. Recycle a Bra commenced at the start of October and will run until the start of November. Centro Lavington invites the local community to donate new or gently worn bras to the the designated collection point at Rockmans. For every five bras donated, $1 will be given to the McGrath Foundation to help them place more specialist nurses where they are needed. “What we want the local community to do is go on a

Wash them, bag them and drop them off to Rockmans. “Not only are these bras re-homed to disadvantaged women in Australia and across the world but every five bras collected allows the centre to donate $1 to the McGrath Foundation which helps them to continue the amazing work they do, supporting women diagnosed with breast cancer. “We are also very excited to be working with local transport company Border Express, who have

kindly offered to take all the donated bras to the drop off point in Victoria. We are truly humbled and thankful for their support in helping us give more funds to the McGrath Foundation and getting the bras off to their new owners.” The Uplift Project has collection points in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Singapore and supply new and gently worn bras to disadvantaged women. Since 2005, Uplift, with assistance from Intimo and Rotary Australia World Community Service, have sent 750,000 bras wherever women have requested them. The organisation has sent bras to Fiji, PNG, Vanuatu, Cook Islands, Tonga,

Solomon Islands, Philippines, Bali, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, the Northern Territory and the Kimberley regions in Australia . The McGrath Foundation came about after Jane McGrath’s much publicised battle with breast cancer which led the family to believe that every family experiencing breast cancer across Australia, should have access to specialist breast cancer nurses and support. The dream became a reality, and so far over 20,000 families have been supported by 85 specialist nurses across Australia. Today, the McGrath Foundation is considered to be one of the leading breast cancer support organisations.

A PRESS release from Member for Albury Greg Aplin’s office has been dubbed both incorrect and an attempt at scaremongering by Albury councillor Darren Cameron. “A political stunt from Labor and the Greens threatens the ongoing operation of local community facilities and businesses including nature conservation areas at Woomargama, the Pistol Club at Hamilton Valley and even Holbrook RSL Club,” Mr Aplin said in the release, dated 18 October. “The NSW Liberals and Nationals Government recently introduced a minor amendment in parliament to ensure local community facilities and businesses like these can continue to legally operate - but Labor and the Greens have opposed it,” Mr Aplin said. “This Amendment was in response to a recent court decision which called into question the legality of up to 7000 community and commercial facilities operating on Crown Land in NSW.” Mr Cameron deemed Mr Aplin’s comments as completely incorrect and an insult to the intelligence of the Albury electorate. “Anyone that understands legislation would know this is a paragraph by the minister that goes far beyond what’s necessary to address the results of the Aboriginal land claim case that is pointedly not mentioned as the court case in Mr Aplin’s press release,” Mr Cameron said.

“This issue came about because the court case involving Aboriginal lands rights and certain uses of Crown Land for profit only. It can only affect undertakings that are run for a profit. “For Mr Aplin to go out and scaremonger about community uses, like the Hume Pistol Club for example, is disgraceful,” he said. Mr Cameron said the proposed amendment would give almost unlimited powers to NSW Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner who could then determine what uses Crown Land would be put to at his whim. He would also have the power to sell it if he chooses. “I think it’s really interesting that he would choose to use the Hume Pistol Club as an example for his scaremongering because even the shooters party have indicated they won’t support the bill, as well as the Greens and Labor,” Mr Cameron said. “So, if there’s any threat to the Pistol Club, I’m damn sure the shooters club wouldn’t be opposing it.” However, the fact remains that if the amendment is passed, local businesses on Crown Land will be affected. “Without a minor change to existing laws, many of our valued community operations and local businesses would be considered legally invalid and may be forced to close,” Mr Aplin said. “This will cause untold disruption as many local businesses will be unable to trade legally because they will not have a valid tenure.”

MORE volunteers for the Meal Time Mates Program at Albury and Wodonga Hospitals are being called for thanks to the rapid growth of the program. The MTMP commenced in September 2012 as a trial in both rehabilitation wards in Albury and Wodonga hospitals to improve the nutrition of older people while in hospital by assisting those who have difficulty accessing their meal for various reasons. The program has been developed with the support of nursing staff and training packages have been devised by speech pathologists, dieticians and volunteer co-ordinators. “The program came about last year when the hospital was made aware through the older person’s project that a lot of people come in the hospital and don’t actually eat enough,” volunteer and fund-raising co-ordinator Elaine Hill said. “When patients are sick they actually lose some of their abilities in hospital, so by not eating enough they get weaker and don’t walk as much. “The idea was to encourage people to eat and take away some of the barriers to eating.” Since the inception of the program, it has become clear to Ms Hill that it’s not just the patients who benefit from the service, once they are won over by the volunteer. “The patients might be a little bit reluctant at first but the volunteers have the ability to win over the patients and they know when to help and when to step back and let patients get on with their meal,” she said.

The appreciation of the nursing staff also makes the volunteers feel quite valued in the role… Elaine Hill

Ms Cole spent three years caring for her partner and when her partner recovered she felt a void in her life and wanted to continue in a role that involved caring for people and give something back to the hospital that took care of her partner. Since joining the MTMP Ms Cole has made steps to become a speech pathologist and has completed her training while volunteering on a regular basis at the hospital and feels the experience has helped her confidence and motivated her during her study. But more help is needed. “We need two volunteers a day in the two hospitals, so we would need at least another 10 volunteers,” Ms Hill said. “We are moving the program though other wards in the hospital - when we started we were only in one ward and now we’re working in two or three wards.” Contact Elaine Hill the volunteer co-ordinator on 02 6051 7617 if you are interested in becoming a volunteer Meal Time Mate in Albury or Wodonga.

“Sometimes the meals come and they have small containers like milk and salt and pepper that the patients sometimes can’t open, so the volunteers are also there to help them get started. “All the volunteers fill in a form after each day and they all say they thoroughly enjoy talking to the patients and that the patients enjoy their company, so generally it’s a win-win situation. “The appreciation of the nursing staff also makes the volunteers feel quite valued in the role.” One such volunteer who has benefited immensely from the program is Narelle Cole.

Just give - and give big By KRYSTEN MANUEL BORDER Trust has pulled off another successful fund-raiser - the Adroit Insurance/Border Trust Charity Golf Day. “It was a really successful day, they had a charity auction at the end of it as well as the golf with 96 players this year,” Border Trust executive officer Glenys Atkins said. With this under their belt, Border Trust are looking ahead to the biggest event on their calendar - the aptly named Big Give. The Big Give will be held on Thursday 21 November at Albury Wodonga Community College for recipients of grants for the 2014 financial year. “This is the second time we’ve done it and called it The Big Give but we’ve been doing grant presentations for around the last four or five years,” Ms Atkins said. “We don’t just present the cheques to the successful ones, we also invite two or three previously funded projects to come along and say ‘this is what we got the grants for, this is what we anticipated we would do with it and this is what has actually happened.’ It really personalises the grants because they’ve done it and then they say what some of those outcomes were. “Handing out the cheques is great but hearing the stories of how a small grant has helped these local projects is terrific.” Last financial year, 17 grants were awarded in November 2012. Border Trust was proud to have supported not only the community fund-raising effort for Hilltop, the new cancer patient and carers’ accommodation in Albury, but also to provide funds for the Murray River Quilters to hand-make quilts for

each of the bedrooms at the centre. In addition to the annual grant round, Border Trust has provided the mechanism for the distribution of gift vouchers totalling $169,150 to local families through the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal’s (FRRR) Back to School program. The program provides $50 Target gift vouchers to students in need in direct consultation with our regions 113 primary and high schools. As a Community Foundation, Border Trust encourages local individuals, families, corporates and other organisations to make donations to help meet the needs of the community, now and in the future. These donations are retained as capital to build a perpetual and substantial fund for charitable purposes, with the income from this capital used to make local community grants. In Australia, there are now 26 community foundations that are working to support their community and local regions. The Border Trust region is large and focuses on the communities of Albury, Alpine, Corowa, Greater Hume, Indigo, Towong, Tumbarumba and Wodonga. “We know that many people want to give back to the area they live in, but they find it difficult to know which charity to support,” Border Trust executive officer Glenys Atkins said. “The beauty of a community foundation is that we don’t have one particular area of focus. The projects that we fund are identified by the community organisations themselves and are absolutely timely and relevent.” Donors to Border Trust have flexibility when deciding to give. Lola Wigg Hair Cafe are one of the many supporters of Border Trust’s Regular Giving Program.

The recipients for The Big Give 2012. As a prominent and successful local Albury business, Lola Wigg receives requests for donations for worthy causes every day. “We chose to donate to Border Trust because we were finding it difficult to decide who to give to,” Lola Wigg’s Bree Brown said. “It’s always been important to us to give back to projects we know will help local people and by supporting Border Trust, we feel we are doing this in a really considered way.”

CHIEF Inspector Kim Sorenson is thanking the Albury general duty police for a ‘fantastic bit of police work’ that has interrupted a crime spree in Albury. “After a number of break and enters were reported, including the Glenroy Store, police acted on their instinct and went hard at the investigation,” she said. “As a result of their efforts they located and interviewed two male juveniles. The interview resulted in numerous charges being laid.” A 13-year-old Albury youth was charged with eight break and enter related offences and one stealing offence. A 14-year-old Albury youth was charged with four break and enter related offences and one stealing offence. As a result of the charges, the juveniles will appear in the Albury Children’s Court in November. “Police are not resting on their laurels in these matters as the investigation at this time suggests other charges may follow,” Insp Sorenson said. “It seems the good work of the ‘thin blue line’ has interrupted a crime spree by these youths.”

Social Seen Interactive festival wins Applause By KRYSTEN MANUEL THE annual Applause festival provided a moving visual delight last Saturday in QEII Square, even offering some interactive workshops for all ages. “We were really lucky with the weather and it was fantastic to see loads of people come out - families, teenagers, all sorts, there really was something for everyone,” Applause co-ordinator Cathy Chapman said. “Every time I looked over all the sites were full, lots happening, everywhere you looked there was people. “With the head counts we think there were more than last year.” Ms Chapman said it was great to see the Murray Conservatorium offer music workshops this year, in addition to the circus skills workshops that have been running for the past decade. Another addition to the festival was the Applause after-party, held at the Albion. “While it is a street busking festival, at the moment a lot of the local talent are predominantly singing and bands, and it’s very difficult to do that in the street - acoustically you get overlap of sound from site to site,” Ms Chapman said. “We had been toying with the idea of expanding the festival and this year we had the opportunity through Joel Sulman to do an Applause afterparty. He has a regular spot on Saturday nights at the Albion and he saved that for the 18-plus buskers. “Reuben Dot Dot Dot was also there and did an act called Casual Friday - it was very acrobatic and interactive with the crowd. “The other way we tried to expand Applause this year was to acknowledge social media and how society in general is becoming a lot more visual. So we had our photographer uploading photos to Facebook on the day to interact with people on a more immediate basis.”

The 1928 Essex looking today very much like it did in 1934 when it was at the Albury Racecourse as the Uiver made its forced landing.

A CAR that was at the Albury Racecourse when the Uiver made its forced landing during the 1934 air race is still motoring and will make an appearance at the Albury Airport Open Day on Saturday. The 1928 Essex is expected to be among the vintage cars that will create a ‘runway’ in front of the DC2 in a salute to the Uiver. The Albury-Wodonga Vintage Car Club is joining with the Albury Aero Club to create a diorama of the night that cars lined the racecourse to save the KLM plane which was forced to make an emergency landing because of bad weather. John Schuurman of the vin-

tage car club said the Essex was among the cars at the landing. He said the car was originally owned by a Mr Anderson who sold it to Mr Butt, then a local butcher. The car later left Albury and went to Melbourne and now lives in country Victoria. The car club is inviting cars built prior to 1946 to join in the Uiver salute next Saturday. Mr Schuurman said the cars should be in their original configuration and not be hot rods or street machines. The annual aero club open day will run from10am-2pm, giving the public a close look at local aircraft, vintage planes and helicopters and the

opportunity to talk to pilots. The Friends of the Cumberoona, Uiver will stage their annual Uiver Fair as part of the open day with stalls and memorabilia, with people being encouraged to wear period dress. Anyone passing through the gate in fashions of the 1930s and ’40s will go into a draw for a prize. As well as planes and cars, there will also be a model railway display, toys and memorabilia. The event will be held on the airport’s southern apron, with entry off Borella Road, near the Helifly hangar. Entry is by gold coin donation.

Letters Respect the rules AT MEDIATION in 2011 with Englehardt residents, religious demonstrators and Albury Police, it was agreed that the protesters had the democratic right to protest but not the right to invade the privacy or physically obstruct any patient, family member, medical student or salesperson from entering the medical clinic. Not every person attending the clinic is having a procedure that the demonstrators disapprove of. Imagine the public outcry if there were religious demonstrators outside the Albury Blood Bank blocking people from entering and giving blood because they didn’t believe in transfusions! My advice to the demonstrators is protest if you must, but have the courtesy to stand across the road as you promised at mediation; you are not a law unto yourselves. E.M. Mourik, Baranduda.

Open letter to community IN 1966 the then Wodonga Council effected the relocation of the Wodonga Citizens Band from its premises in Vermont Street to Crown Land in Hovell Street. In order to secure the tenure of the band at the new site, the council of the day had the land reserved through an Order in Council and government Gazettal to reserve the land on 15 November 1966. The Hovell Street Crown Land was a direct exchange for the premises in Vermont Street. The council of the day paid to transport the building owned by the band to the new site and paid costs of re-establishment. The band, through community donations and band-raised funds, has extended the building at Hovell Street and, albeit now somewhat dated, established a designed-forpurpose facility. Since the late 1990s to the present, Wodonga City Council has been led by mayors Mark Byatt, Rodney Wangman, Lisa Mahood, John Watson and Graham Crapp. Only Graham Crapp is not presently a serving councillor. During this period the Wodonga Council set about removing the security of tenure of Wodonga Citizens Band at the Hovell Street site. The initial action of circa 2000 was to have the land rezoned to a Road Zone under the Wodonga Planning Scheme. This is believed to have been done at the introduction of the then new format planning schemes which was a statewide action within each council area but significantly in this situation is that Wodonga City undertook the rezoning of the Band Hall site without specifically notifying the band or referencing the change in the formal amendment documentation. Indeed it didn’t come to the attention of the band until 2013. The second significant action in respect of the band hall site was in 2004 when, at the apparent request of council and under the guise of forming part of the city centre strategic planning, the then Labor State Government gazetted a revocation of the reserved land status of the site. Again the band was not informed that such action was proposed or indeed completed. Again the band learnt of this outcome in 2013. Although the band did not know it, the apparent effect of the revocation of the reserved land status was to remove security of tenure and to take away effective ownership or control of the fixed assets on the current band hall land. During 2013 the council instigated meetings with the band committee executive in respect to having the band vacate the premises in Hovell Street. As has been the pattern, very little tangible information has been provided to the band and indeed very little has been provided in writing at all until the formal notice to vacate was issued on 3 October 2013. Informally and very loosely the council has made suggestions as to possible alternative locations for the band, however these have shown a gross lack of knowledge of the operational needs and activities of the band or a total disrespect for either the band or the receiving communities within which most of the nominated sites are located. The band conducts Carols by Candlelight in Wodonga each year and has many full program rehearsals at the band hall in the weeks leading up to the event. The band also provides the music to several musical theatre productions each year and holds rehearsals at the band hall which can mean that 100 or more people and commensurate numbers of vehicles attend the band hall on these occasions. If this were to be in a residential neighbourhood as suggested for many of the council nominated sites, the impacts on the residents would be enormous. It would be disruptive enough just having a normal 40-odd turn out for weekly band rehearsals. Over the past 12months about four or five meetings have been held with council and all but one has been with middle management staff. One meeting, striking by the apparent lack of preparation by the council representatives, was held with the Mayor Mark Byatt and CEO Patience Harrington, several months after which the for-

Wednesday, 23 October, 2013 Page 9

www.awnw.com.au

mal notice to vacate was issued without further discussion. The only occurrence of note in the intervening period was an expression of support and invitation to the relevant Minister by Bill Tilley in State Parliament. Although the band has no formal evidence or notification of such the band has been verbally informed by council staff that the council has been installed as the formal committee of management of the Hovell Street band hall site. Although the band has received a letter from council that at least purports to be a legally binding and formal notice to vacate the Hovell Street band hall premises no evidence or copy of the council resolution directing the issue of such notice has been forthcoming. It would be considered highly irregular that such a decision could or should ethically, morally or perhaps legally be delegated to the council CEO, particularly if the power to make such a decision rests with the council acting in its alleged capacity as a committee of management appointed by State Government. Looking back over the period to the late 1990s it appears that Wodonga Council may have been systematically and methodically removing notfor-profit and other community groups out of the central activity area of Wodonga. It appears that this is being done in the name of commercial redevelopment of the City Centre. Wodonga Citizens Band is just another not-for-profit group that the council is seeking to evict from Crown Land and banish to the outskirts in the name of commercial redevelopment and revitalisation of the city centre. A central activity area location is critical to the proposal on many levels but most importantly on enabling the recurrent costs self-sufficiency to be attained; to successfully run music and theatre events; be accessible to the widest community range; and to make widely accessible music teaching. The proposed facility would not be in competition with The Cube but would complement it and provide a valuable low-cost meeting facility, community music and theatre resource and place for other community activity. The band members are all volunteers who not only donate their time but also pay their own way to every event no matter how far and usually pay for their own accommodation when it is required. Wodonga Citizens Band has a long history of service to Wodonga and provides mostly free, high quality music across a range of genres. Wodonga Citizens Band is simply asking for support from Wodonga City Council and the wider community to enable the band and its associated groups to develop a community not-forprofit arts and entertainment facility in the central activity area of Wodonga.

Egg-cellent work here! STUDENTS from St Joseph’s Primary School Beechworth this week celebrated the completion of a new chicken house and the relocation of vegetable gardens to a centralised location at the school. The project is a part of the school’s sustainability program and student elective which has attracted ongoing interest and support from students, teachers and parents alike. This latest project was organised by the school’s sustainability committee and made possible with a $1000 grant from the Beechworth and District Community Bank and the generosity of parents who donated their own time and skills to help construct the chicken house.

LANDHOLDERS are being reminded to report wild dog incidents in the coming months as wild dog activity increases as summer arrives. Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) biosecurity operations manager for Victoria East, Michael Bretherton said wild dogs tended to move around more in spring and information on sightings was crucial to assist with control efforts. “We need people to be vigilant in reporting wild dog activity to their local DEPI senior wild dog controller at this time of year to assist the planning of control activities, such as baiting and trapping,” Mr Bretherton said. “When attacks or sightings are reported, they are captured in our wild dog activity database to inform on-ground control actions and to monitor the effectiveness of the wild dog control program.” After receiving a wild dog incident report, the senior wild dog controller then determines an appropriate response which could include trapping, baiting and opportunistic shooting. Mr Bretherton said not all wild dog incident reports ini-

Highlights include:

tiated an on-ground response and that some livestock deaths could be attributed to domestic dogs, foxes or disease. “While DEPI prioritises wild dog incident reports involving livestock that have been harassed, maimed or killed, reports of wild dog sightings are still recorded as they build critical intelligence in determining wild dog activity and behaviour,” he said. In the last financial year there were 607 reports of wild dog activity across Gippsland and the North East. Of these, 494 reports involved stock that had been harassed, maimed or killed, which triggered a priority response by DEPI. In 2012-’13, over 18,000 baits were laid by DEPI in addition to the 25,000 baits that community wild dog control groups deployed. Over this period DEPI also trapped 449 dogs. Since the Victorian Fox and Wild Dog Bounty commenced in October 2011, hunters have also handed in a total of 760 wild dog pelts for which they have been paid a total of $54,600. “We are not able to get rid of all wild dogs, but by working

with the community and landholders we can minimise the impact they have on livestock,” Mr Bretherton said. “Community wild dog control spring baiting programs have also just kicked off and baits are now available, free of charge, for those involved. “These programs involve landowners working together at a local level to co-ordinate baiting efforts on both private and public land.” In Victoria there are 15 Community Wild Dog Control groups – six in the North East and nine in Gippsland. “With spring lambing underway, there are some precautions farmers can take to minimise stock loss, for example smaller lambing paddocks which allow easier monitoring and keeping lambing ewes closer to the house where possible,” Mr Bretherton said. Landholders seeking more information on how to reduce the risk of stock loss from wild dogs should contact their local DEPI office who will put them in contact with their local wild dog controller or community wild dog control co-ordinator.

New steps would improve health

A healthier spine can be achieved in simple ways, like walking more often.

ALMOST four in every five people in the Border region will suffer back pain unless the community literally takes new steps to change their lifestyle. Spinal health is essential not only to reduce back pain, but also to improve overall health. Just last week was World Spine Day, providing an ideal opportunity for AlburyWodonga residents to improve their health. The latest statistics show that just 19 per cent of Australian adults walk 10,000 steps per day or more and the average Australian adult takes just 7400 steps per day. At the same time, the amazing technology Australians can now have in our homes and workplaces is leading more and more people to spend the day sitting down.

The new technology can be great, but people have to learn to preserve their health as it becomes a greater part of their lives and affects how active they are and the posture they have when using it. The Chiropractors Association of Australia has launched a new website with information about the benefits of walking at www. juststar twalking.com.au, and a mobile phone app to encourage people to walk more frequently. The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures indicate that adult Australians sit for an average of 39 hours each week, with those in office-based roles racking up far more hours - highlighting the need for increased physical activity. World Spine Day has provided people across the Border with an opportunity to

Bike fest’s long journey By KRYSTEN MANUEL BORDER Bike Fest has come a long way in the past six years. From an event with just 50-60 bikes on show in the first year (2008), to this year’s event showcasing the newest and best stock from companies including Honda, Triumph, Victory, Indian, BMW, KTM and of course Harley Davidson – the likes of which one would normally have to travel to Melbourne or Sydney for. But of course, the heart of Border Bike Fest is rooted deeply within the charities it serves, which in itself, has provided ways for the event to grow to what it is today. “The first event raised a considerable amount but the Lions Club of Wodonga actually topped it up to make the donation $6000,” Lions member Michael Georgiou said. “In the second year of the event we raised $5,000. “Then we decided we would partner with the Ulysses and the arrangement was the Ulysses could also nominate a recipient, so that year we halved the proceeds which were $8000 between the Ulysses Club Arthritis Research Foundation and Lions Childhood Cancer Appeal.

The brains behind the event – founder Colin Broster.

The humble beginnings of Border Bike Fest. “Before that the proceeds all went to Kidney Health Australia, and Colin Broster (founder of the event) felt that it was time to spread the proceeds around a bit.” From this point, the committee – comprised of members of the Wodonga Lions Cub, Ulysses Club and Classic Enthusiasts Motorcycle Club – decided it was best to put the money back into the Albury Wodonga community.

“We feel that the community of Albury Wodonga support the Bike Fest pretty well and we thought the proceeds from the show should go to local charities, so that’s what we’re continuing to do,” Ulysses Club treasurer Leon Briggs said. Since its inception, the Border Bike Fest has not turned down a charity yet, though there are certain criteria charities must meet to be in the

running for a share in funds raised. “It goes through Lions club channels but we do it at a committee level,” Mr Georgiou said. “It must be local and it must be an organisation rather than individuals. It’s about giving it to an organisation who will then rationalise who gets the money. Groups such as Country Hope – lots of people have been touched by can-

cer, the Carers Accommodation, Eden Sanctuary to help local youth out and so on. “And we don’t determine until after the event who will receive what because we don’t know how much we’re going to raise. Our risk every year is that it rains, and if it rains we won’t make anything. We don’t want to let people down.”

Little bikes, lot of fun By KRYSTEN MANUEL ONE of the most exciting new additions to Border Bike Fest this year – especially for the little tackers – is the addition of minibikes. Not only will the major raffle prize be a minibike, thanks to Blacklocks, but a new category will also be opened up for fathers and sons, or even fathers and daughters, to polish up their bikes and proudly have them displayed and judged on the day. “We raffled a motorbike last year from Blacklocks and it was an adult motorbike,” Lions Club member Michael Georgiou said. “This year they decided to come on board again, we talked about it and they suggested a minibike for the grand prize. “It’s brand-new with an electric start and we thought it was a great idea because it opens up the opportunity for kids to win something rather than just adults. “We’d love to see kids bring their bikes in, for all the kids to

spend a weekend polishing their bikes. “Another reason for opening up the category is to do with a guy who has various minibikes in different states of repair or disrepair. He asked what category he could put his minibikes in and I said we should just create a category with minibikes.” The main raffle prize is a Honda 110 CRF created especially for children to suit approximately eight to 14-year-olds, depending on the size of the child. “Second prize is a weekend for two at Carawatha Holiday Apartments in Bright, thanks to Des Saunders,” Mr Georgiou said. “And third prize is provided by Smart Air Aviation. They’re a locally based company at the Albury Airport - they have a flying training school and they’ve offered a first one-hour introductory flight in an aeroplane – so there’s something for everyone if they will buy a raffle ticket.”

For the first time at Border Bike Fest, a section for minibikes!

Many suppliers on show By KRYSTEN MANUEL WITH the help of local motorcycle dealers, Border Bike Fest has attracted suppliers – some for the first time - to show off the best of what they have on offer for 2013. “Our local motorcycle dealers have grown their dealership sizes and said to their suppliers ’this show is pretty good, you need to come down and show it off’,” Lions Club member Michael Georgiou said. “Harley Davidson have been on board since day one at a local level through Phil’s Garage. Phil Smart has been our strongest supporter, the first one to come on board as a trader and the most pro-active in supporting us. “Others who weren’t proactive in the past have realised they’re missing out if they don’t join with Border Bike Fest.” And there’s no show without Harley in Ulysses Club treasurer Leon Briggs’ mind. “There are just so many different models of Harley Davidson,” he said. “They’re all a cruiser-type bike, but again, you can personalise and customise to suit your own taste.

There’s no show without Harley. “You’re only limited by your imagination and the bikes are an absolute credit to their owners because of the chrome, the shine, the gadgets, the trinkets and the sound. A Harley has a certain sound like nothing else.” Triumph are also getting in on the buzz this year, bringing trucks worth of new models and new stock. “It’s been represented by Whitehouse Motorcycles but now the manufacturers are recognising that this event is big

enough for them to bring their new product as a venture,” Mr Georgiou said. The Triumph is known as a modern sports bike – fasthandling, though Triumph also makes cruisers as well. “Triumph is a new breed of motorcycle since the mid 1990s – they’re well appointed and quite fast,” Mr Briggs said. “They have retro bikes that go back to the ’50s and ’60s as well. “They’ve become a very

Victory – always worth a second look. reliable and very affordable marque of motorbike.” Victory made a splash last year with between 30 and 40 bikes brought along by individual owners, not to mention the lime green Hammerhead, sparking interest from the supplier to make an appearance this year. “The Victory bikes carted off a fair few trophies last year, no-one had ever seen a cluster of bikes like that in this area before,” Mr Briggs said.

“Victory is a bit like a Harley in that it’s big, long, heavy and more of a touring bike and the availability of trinketry and accessories is enormous. You can customise your bike – once again, they’re a credit to their followers. “The Hammerhead, when you look at the artwork and the way things were made – the headlight was actually a skull and the light shone through the eyes, the handlebars were two cutlasses like a pirate’s – it was just fantastic.

“The imagination, the chromework and the artwork was just fabulous on that bike, and we’d like to see a lot more of those back again.” Along with Victory, Indian will also make a welcome appearance at Border Bike Fest. “Indian is fairly new and given the chance they will become like your Victorys and your Harleys where they have a cult following and you can customise and do what you want with them,” Mr Briggs said. Blacklocks, aside from providing an exciting main raffle prize, have opened up the doors to Honda, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi and BMW displays as well. “Hondas and BMWs are being ridden by a lot of people, they’re a very nice motorbike,” Mr Briggs said. “Aprilia is a lot smaller and more of a boutique motorbike. “BMW is more of a gentleman’s bike, although they’re very quick. The BMW apparel is also available and it’s very well-made.” With all this quality, quantity, individuality and hardcore grunt, crowds are sure to be pleased at the supplier’s spread at this year’s Border Bike Fest.

The Ulysses Club has been in the forefront of organising the Border Bike Fest since 2010.

Ulysses lifts behind scenes By KRYSTEN MANUEL THE Ulysses Club has been a major player in Border Bike Fest since 2010, responsible for much of its growth and smooth organisation. The local chapter came on board at just the right time – when Border Bike Fest needed a helping hand as well as motorcycle connections. “There’s 25,000 active members in Australia and we have reach to all those members,” Ulysses Club treasurer Leon Briggs said. “There’s 100 members that are active in Albury Wodonga and they are able to come along and help do the clerical work on the day, help organise, and do some judging.” For those who aren’t overly familiar with Ulysses, here are a few fun facts. To become a member you must be over 40 years old, once joining you

are a member of the Australia-wide club – of which there are between 80 and 100 branches – and they are nothing like Sons of Anarchy. “Here’s a funny story,” Mr Briggs said. “We rode down to the Thoona Pub just past Glenrowan and were told to get there early because the people across the road would be coming out from their church service and we needed to get our meal order done before they came. “So we rolled up at 11.45 and you could see the worried look on the church-goers’ faces – ‘Crikey

the bikers are in town!’ “Our bikes are noisy, they rumble, they’re coloured and everything, but as soon as our helmets came off and the grey hair came out, they all relaxed and knew they were safe!” Ulysses have members as old as 80 and welcome women as well as men, encouraging partnerships to embrace their monthly meetings and rides. “We go all over the place, we patronise coffee shops, hamburger stands and then at night-time the pubs and clubs,” Mr Briggs said. The Border Ulysses are not typi-

cally a charitable charter, but love a chance to give back to the community, like with Border Bike Fest. “Our charter isn’t a charitable club, but a few of us decided that the community looks after us pretty well and it’s probably about time for us to give something back,” Mr Briggs said. “Our club runs a rally in Tallangatta in February and we get about 100 people to it. The Tallangatta community support that very well so we then support the Tallangatta community back in the way of donations to the Tallangatta hospital. “The Ulysses Club also have Ulysses Club Arthritis Research Foundation that they actually run and pays the wages of one of the scientists. We donate a certain amount every now and then to keep it going.”

Engines livin’ loud and proud By KRYSTEN MANUEL ONE thing you can always count on to take motorcycle enthusiasts down a peg or two is the Loudest Bike Competition. You might talk the talk and rev that engine until your ears pop, but who really has the loudest bike on the Border? “It’s to put paid to guys who think their motorbike is louder than someone else’s,” Lions Club member Michael Georgiou said. “It’s pretty hotly contested and the crowd loves it. “We have people who think they have a really

loud motorbike, they’ll come along and go through the test process, and they’re usually amazed by what wins. “A few egos get kicked, I can tell you! I had one guy who was adamant his was the best. He went out to the car park, wheeled it all the way in, tested it and he was nowhere near the mark.” The competition is judged by qualified sound engineer Ray Walsh, who is equipped with all the gadgets and equipment needed to find the winner thanks to Jewel Audio and Visual. A $5 donation will get you in the game to begin the testing process. Participants

are given a certificate with a decibel reading, but noone knows the winner until the end of the day when the presentation is made. “The winners have been varied,” Mr Georgiou said. “There was one guy who won it two years in a row with a Harley. “But it was won last year by a guy who was a quiet achiever, so to speak. He was very cool, calm and collected. “The test only goes for about three seconds – we’re not saying it’s a test of the legality of the noise, it’s just entertainment for everyone on the day. Last year we had the most ever enter.”

FOR the first time, Border Bike Fest will be offering live music and a fashion parade to cater to every member of the family. Music is provided by local band Whiteline, who offer a repertoire of original songs as well as classic songs from many favourite country, blues and rock artists such as The Waifs, Cold Chisel, Little River Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Eagles, Shane Nicholson and Kasey Chambers, Redgum, The Audreys and many, many more. “They’re doing it no charge because that’s their contribution to charity,” Lions Club of Wodonga member Michael Georgiou said. “It’s going to be great to have live music there rather than recorded.” The band is comprised of Sue-Ellen White on acoustic guitar, percussion and vocals, Kevin Albert on acoustic guitar, lead guitar and vocals and Pete Tillett on bass guitar and vocals. The fashion parade is bound to turn heads – especially those who appreciate leather. “The fashion parade was just another thing we thought would be a great attraction,” Mr Georgiou said.

Festival for the folk SOME 32 kilometres north-west of Albury-Wodonga is the rural village of Burrumbuttock which, for the majority of the year, goes about its business as the hub of a small, tightly-knit farming community. But once a year the townsfolk put aside normal farming duties and welcome visitors to a festival that has been running at the recreation reserve for the past nine years. To be held from 9am to 4pm on Sunday, 27 October, moneys raised from this year’s festival will go towards the resurfacing of

netball courts at the reserve. Guaranteed to be bigger, better and brighter than previous events, the 2013 Burrumbuttock Festival will have something for everyone, no matter what age. With all the fun and frivolity of a typical country fair, the festival is not just a celebration of rural living, but a chance for visitors to enjoy good old-fashioned entertainment at very affordable prices. Entry for adults is just $5, children under 16 $2, preschoolers free, or you can purchase a family ticket

(two adults and up to four children under 16) $12. There will also be the popular flower, craft, cookery and photography show at the Town Hall. The MC for the day is popular local crooner Glenn Starr who will also be providing entertainment, along with a one-man-band and talent show. This year’s event will include a show by RAMPT Mini FMX as well as the ever-popular dog jumps and an Animals of Oz display showing off the star of the show - the croco-

dile. Kids will be kept amused with a pet show, hoopla, amusement rides and face painting. Amid all the excitement, plenty of stallholders selling everything from bric-a-brac to food, drink and ice-cream will also be available. Other events will include a fun run, a dash for cash, plus an iron man and iron woman competition with a twist. And don’t forget to buy a raffle ticket or two for the chance to win great prizes.

THE annual National Hi-fi Show held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Melbourne concluded last weekend and demonstrated that Australia has rapidly caught up with the rest of the hi-fi world and in some aspects surpassed the world in high end audio equipment exhibitions. Australia over the last few years has matured to the appreciation of fine audio and with the benefit of a strong dollar and an increased demand we see the best of Asia, North America, UK, Europe and our own home-grown products presenting around 175 brands in one location. Most international markets tend to be very parochial to the region, that is UK magazines and shows and awards tend to favour UK products, US magazines and shows and awards similarly. In Australia we see the lot and the choice can be daunting. The benefit to you as a user is the ultra-competitive landscape we have in Australia between the competing brands, and as a result a significant amount of products are now sold at prices competitive to the USA and the UK markets.

The newest and best at the National Hi-fi Show. brands are also recovering from the effects of the high dollar, the resilience and desire to compete internationally with a focus to export is a very positive sign for our Australian companies. On display was an increased array of vinyl, valve, Class A and new generation Class D amplification, music streaming and every form of speaker configuration possible.

The thought a few years ago of spending $10,000 on a pair of speakers or $5000 on an amplifier was limited to a few who knew and appreciated the high performances. A new generation of music lovers are appearing to discard the mp3 players and opting for higher resolution devices. It sometimes appears ironic that some of the devices used 40 years ago are now back in favour. The point of

difference is the products are engineered to a higher level than ever before and many budget to mid-priced models were the aspiration products of yesteryear. At Tru Hifi we are now agents for over 130 brands, across a large landscape of products. The ability of choice and internationally competitive prices are right here on your doorstep.

Song of inspiration By KRYSTEN MANUEL THANKS to particularly inspirational advice from Melbourne band Rudely Interrupted’s lead singer, Rory Burnside, the senior class at Belvoir Special School will be launching their first CD - Be Proud at The Cube this Friday. “When song-writing, the students looked at what was important to them, for example we wrote a song called Be Proud,” Belvoir Special School creative music teacher Peter Klein said. “We supported Rudely Interrupted last year at the concert on International Day of Disability and the students found the lead singer Rory very inspiring. “Rory was born without eyes, he has a cleft palate, a cleft lip and he has Aspergers syndrome. “He’s an amazing singer and he made the comment to us ‘be loud and be proud. If you’re having problems, play your music and be loud and proud’. “So the name of the CD is Be Proud after the song they wrote.” The Belvoir Special School aim is to give all students a positive social creative musical experience where all students

are ‘doomed to succeed.’ The program encourages students to experiment and explore sound and music using feel, listening, seeing, thinking and doing in a safe and happy environment. A highlight of the music program are the school performances which include the Wodonga and District Schools Arts Festival and the Belvoir end of year concert. The students in the senior school have the added opportunity to perform in the school’s VCAL band ‘The Belvoir Breakers’ which has created an opportunity for students to perform at school events and public performances in the Wodonga district. In term one the senior VCAL band students were inspired by last years ‘Rudely Interrupted’ concert to write and record three songs. This process included the brainstorming and creation, experimenting with song structure, working through instrumentation dynamics, the recording process, CD design and CD production. All their hard work will pay off on Friday at the launch of Be Proud, which will coincide with International day of disability.

“The kids have developed their own sound which will stand up anywhere they play and they have great ideas,” Mr Klein said. “They are proud of what they do and so they should be - they’re an awesome band, they’re an awesome group of kids, they give the other kids in the school something to strive for. “The kids that see them performing know that there’s something really good when they get to the senior end of the school when they can play in a band and be part of something incredible.” The Belvoir Breakers CD launch is on Friday 25 October at The Cube, Wodonga. From 6-7pm is a barbecue, 7-7.40pm Wild Choir, 7.508.50pm Belvoir Breakers, 9.1010.10pm Rudely Interrupted followed by a celebration. Rudely Interrupted, the world’s best disability band from Melbourne are a highlight of the evening and Jason Akermanis will also make an appearance to help launch the CD. Cost is $10 per person, $25 per family and $2 per carer. Tickets are available at The Cube or from Belvoir school.

A pretentious little effort MOVIE: About Time DIRECTOR: Richard Curtis STARRING: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy and Margot Robbie. DURATION: 123 minutes AMID the rain-soaked wedding, a cringe-worthy ‘meet the parents’, the stumbling red-nut who probably has a shrine to Hugh Grant in his closet and the whole ‘unconventionally beautiful but actually really pretentious’ air of this film, lurks the annoying reality. To reiterate my point, the moral to the story is to live life to its fullest - ground-breaking stuff. If it wasn’t for some seriously good quality humour I think my brain would have imploded. About Time tells the story of Tim Lake (Gleeson) - an awkward but intelligent young man who discovers he can time travel, something all the men in his family can do.

Although Tim can only travel through his own past, he still decides to use his gift to its full potential ... and sets out to get himself a girlfriend. Tim moves to London and falls in love with the quiet, insecure Mary (McAdams), but thanks to his inexperience with time travelling, he ends up having to rewrite their history several times over before finally landing the girl. After a disastrous wedding and the birth of their first child, Tim realises he can’t travel back before the child was born. This poses some problems as time is running out for Tim’s father (Nighy) ... The absolute without a doubt best part of this film was Bill Nighy’s performance - hilarious, sarcastic, fun and by far the most sincere element to the whole film. And while the interest factor (time travel) has been done many times before, it still engages the audience, as they themselves consider what they would change in their history.
