Albury Wodonga’s largest circulating newspaper
Testing times AFTER years of hard work, students across the Border are putting their knowledge to the test as the Higher School Certificate Exams kick off this week. The largest, and for some, the most stressful – English – may be done and dusted, but there is still a long way before the stress is all over.

Alarming crashes By ERIN SOMERVILLE POLICE are concerned over the number of motorbike fatalities that occurred in the state over the weekend, with two of the three fatalities happening on Albury Local Area Command roads. The concern comes after a 24-year-old Thurgoona man was killed on Friday after his motorcycle collided with a car near Albury on Sunday. Just before 7pm, the local man who has been identified as Andrew Pithers, was riding along Thurgoons Drive when he ran into the rear of a Holden sedan. He was treated by paramedics, but was pronounced dead at Albury Base Hospital. The 75-year-old male driver of the Holden was not injured in the crash, but was also taken to Albury Base Hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing. The crash came only a day before another 24-year-old man from Wagga was killed in a trail bike crash. Around 2pm Saturday, the man was riding along Perkins Drive in the Bago State Forest, two hours north-east of Holbrook, before leaving the road and hitting a number of trees. Emergency services attended a short time later, however the rider died at the scene. Police from Albury Local Area Command are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. Further away from the Border, a 38-year-old Bathurst man died at the scene when his Yamaha R1 bike crashed into a tree on the Oxley Highway, while a 28-year-old male rider from West Pymble crashed into a stationary vehicle at Forest Lodge and sustained critical injuries. Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander Assistant Commissioner John Hartley said the recent
fatalities involving motorcycle riders should be a concern for all road users. “To see three riders lose their lives on our roads suggests the need for greater awareness by riders and other motorists alike,” he said. “No doubt there are families suffering this morning as a result of these sad events.” Mr Hartley said that with perfect riding conditions in recent days, motorcycle riders needed to take extra care on our roads. “With 44 riders losing their lives on NSW roads so far this year, which is 10 less than this time last year, our aim is to ensure that riders and other motorists are fully aware of the risks on our roads,” Mr Hartley said. Mr Hartley offered some simple advice for riders: Riders should ensure they choose safer helmets and riding gear for better protection, as well as complete regular bike maintenance to keep motorcycles in a safe condition for riding. Riders should maintain a threesecond gap and scan the road ahead to avoid danger, and be aware that speed, alcohol and fatigue can all increase the risk of having a crash. With advances in anti-lock braking systems, riders can improve safety by choosing a motorcycle or scooter that offers the option of ABS. Police are urging anyone with information in relation to the incidents to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw. crimestoppers.com.au/ Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. People are reminded they should not report crime information via Facebook and Twitter pages.

By ERIN SOMERVILLE ALBURYCITY will enter negotiations with the North Albury Sports Club (NASC) to purchase two parcels of land at Bunton Park to assist the debt-ridden sports club. On Monday, council agreed to consider purchasing the land, now used as car parks, at no more than market value. AlburyCity has also agreed to formalise a new lease of Bunton Park to the NASC, which will allow sports clubs to continue using the facility. It is expected that council will keep the current car parks, which sit on the parcels of land under negotiation, if the purchase goes through. Albury mayor Kevin Mack said council was determined to see the facility stay afloat, despite its extensive financial difficulties. “It’s an important community asset and we’d like to see it stay in the community’s hands,” Mr Mack said. “It’s a decision that makes financial sense, for council and for the North Albury Sports Club. “It will allow them to better manage their financial position moving forward, and ensure that council recovers outstanding debts. “We are as keen as anybody to see the club remain in operation and we want to play our part in supporting user groups and members.” General Manager Frank Zaknich was authorised to begin negotiations with the NASC at Monday night’s extraordinary council meeting. Earlier this month North Albury Sports Club members delivered $110,000 in pledges, agreed by creditors, to keep the club afloat. A further $160,000 is to be raised by 31 December 2016.

Council will also work through the Halve Waste campaign to distribute information to residents and local students with the aim of changing people’s attitudes to illegal dumping. Workshops will be offered to businesses outlining correct disposal techniques. In 2013-’14 council issued 27 in-

to remain vigilant, and report any dumping to council’s customer service team immediately. “We need the dumpers to know that we, as a community, will not accept or tolerate such behaviour.” From 29 August 2014 the NSW Government introduced harsher penalties for illegal dumping, which includes a $2000 fine for individuals and $4000 for a corporation not disposing of waste at a lawful facility, and a $4000 fine for individuals and $8000 fine for corporations for polluting waterways.
fringements for breaches of the environmental regulations. The financial penalties of the infringements under applicable environmental legislation can range from $80 for littering to $8000 for more serious offences. AlburyCity Mayor Kevin Mack sent a stern warning to people who illegally dump rubbish. “We intend to make it as difficult as possible for anyone, whether it’s a business or a resident, to dump rubbish in our community,” he said. Cr Mack has also asked residents

TOSSERS - be warned! A new $124,432 campaign targeting litterbugs has been unveiled on the Border to tackle illegal dumping. The practice costs the council’s budgets tens of thousands of dollars every year. AlburyCity and Greater Hume Councils received help from a NSW Environment Protection grant to help target 10 well-known ‘hot spots’ for illegal dumping. The campaign will see increased surveillance with CCTV introduced at some sites, enforcement, and education. The move comes after AlburyCity’s Team Leader of Waste Management Andrea Baldwin revealed that in 2013-’14 council recovered 116.54 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish, costing $55,000 in collection and disposal fees. “The cost of illegal dumping to council and ratepayers is significant,” Ms Baldwin said. “Over the past two financial years council has recovered more than 200 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish at a total cost of $116,000. “Those responsible need to realise that they can’t just dump their rubbish and expect the problem to just ‘go away’.” “Dumping is not only unsightly and expensive but can cause environmental degradation and impact on people’s health, which is why we are getting tough and joining the state-wide fight against the dumpers.” The ‘hot spots’, which include Mungabareena Reserve in Albury, have been subject to business and residential dumping over many years.

HSC paper tigers By ERIN SOMERVILLE IT WAS the moment hundreds of young students across the Border had been dreading for nearly a year. The first paper for English, and the paper that officially kicked off this year’s Higher School Certificate, was placed under many nerve-riddled hands on Monday morning. It was a moment that students across the state have spent countless hours preparing for. Fear sat in the stomach of many students, while dread hit others as they walked in to the exam room to take their seats, but despite the high stakes, one Murray High School student couldn’t help but feel excited as the moment she had worked so hard had finally arrived. “I was excited to be getting it over and done with,” Murray High School HSC student and school captain Lauren SandersBerg said. “There is a lot of pressure with English as it’s the only compulsory subject.” Lauren said she initially found the paper daunting as the marking format was different from a typical exam, but she simply put her head down, her nerves behind her, and got on with the exam. Students had three sections, including a reading section with analysis questions, a creative writing section based on a stimulus text, and an essay on the topic of Belonging. The tight timeframe left a lot of students sweating over how much they could write in the allocated two hours and 10 minutes. Murray High School Head English teacher Guy Lewis said the first English paper was one prepared students could have easily met the challenges of. “I thought overall the exam paper was very fair and should allow students who have prepared well a good opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge,” he said. “The Belonging essay was very fair and straight forward and gave students a chance to show what they know.”
Lauren Sanders-Berg, Marni Gillard, Tamika Loffler, and Biru Magar jump for joy Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE after the first HSC exam is over 128912 In an age of technology-based education, Mr Lewis said the students had no problem writing ferociously by hand for a number of hours. “It’s something they’ve had a lot of practice at,” he said. “They have practised with tasks, draft papers, and past HSC questions.” The first exam is one of the biggest, with English being the only compulsory subject that all NSW students must complete in the HSC. A second English paper was sat yesterday, meaning students can now put the
subject behind them and focus on others. Hospitality, Indonesian Extension, Industrial Technology, Latin Extension, Korean Background Speakers, Korean Continuers, and Modern Hebrew Continuers have also been completed. Today, students will site Ancient History, Classical Greek Continuers, and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education. The HSC exam period will run until 5 November.
Play safe, not sorry By ERIN SOMERVILLE POLICE have ramped up their ‘Safe People Safe Places’ message after a string of assaults in the region the past fortnight. Last week, a 15-year-old girl was walking along Hume Street at Howlong when a silver older model Ford Falcon stopped beside her. The man allegedly got out of the car and approached the girl last Tuesday before grabbing her on the arm and indecently assaulting her. She managed to break free and run home where she informed her parents about the incident. Meanwhile, on the same day, a 29-year-old man was walking along Ashford Street at Lavington when he was approached by three males. He was allegedly threatened before one of the males stole property from him. Later in the afternoon, his 60-year-old father drove around the area when he allegedly saw the same three males in a park on Garoogong Road, Springdale Heights. He approached the group and had a conversation with the males resulting in the stolen property being returned, however during the incident the 60-year-old man was allegedly pushed and assaulted. A 34-year-old man came to his aid and was allegedly attacked with a broken bottle, and was taken to Albury Base Hospital with
cuts to his face. The incidents come only a day after a 19-year-old was assaulted by five men in Lavington on Union Road. Police are urging all parents to reiterate the Safe People, Safe Places message, particularly to children and young adults: Make sure your parents or another adult you know knows where you are at all times. Always walk straight home or to the place you are walking to. Walk near busier roads and streets, or use paths where there are lots of other people. Know where safe places are - a shop, service station, police station, library or school. If you are ever frightened, you should go to one of these places and ask them to call the police. Learn about safe adults you can look for and talk to if you need help - police officers, teachers at school, adults you know and trust. Don’t talk to people you don’t know and never get into a car with someone you don’t know. If a car stops on the side of the road and you don’t know the person inside, do not stop. If you are scared and can use a phone, call triple-zero and tell them you are scared. If someone tries to grab you, yell out, ‘Go away, I don’t know you’. This lets other people know you have been approached by someone you don’t know.

For a stronger, safer Benambra
By ERIN SOMERVILLE SUCCESS is one word Madison Hopper can spell easily. It is the bigger ones like ‘poliomyelitis’ that she is worried about. The Year Six Albury Public School student will have to take on words just like that though at this year’s Spelling Bee State Final next month. More than 3500 students from 920 public schools competed for a place in the state final, but only a few could spell their way there. Madison was one of them. To win a place, she has been reading her way through her 502-page dictionary. Churning through 10 pages a night, breaking down spelling, definition, and pronunciation has helped Madison prepare for the difficult final. “I went in the Spelling Bee in Year Four but only made it to the regionals,” she said. “It feels exhilarating to be going to the final. “It’s nice knowing I’m really good at something I like.” Madison says anyone can become good at spelling; it just takes practise. “All people have the ability to do it. “It’s fun and gives you a chance to see what you’re good at.” The final will be held on 5 November in Ultimo.

Peter Hough is encouraging more people to volunteer at the RACV Great Victorian Bike Picture: CONTRIBUTED Ride. 128959
Motor marshal By ERIN SOMERVILLE
1156227-KM42-14
THEY say the third time’s a charm, but for Lavington man Peter Hough all his experiences volunteering at the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride have been wonderful. Mr Hough rode in the event in 2008 and 2009, but now for the third year running is swapping pedal power for horsepower and ramping up his preparations by serving as a volunteer motorcycle marshal. Serving as a volunteer is a move that has made Mr Hough enjoy the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride even more. “I enjoyed riding in the 2008 and 2009 but now feel like I am more involved as I’m volunteering,” he said.
“Having seen the wonderful work that volunteers had done on my last two rides and seeing the ride was through a familiar area, I decided to enter as a volunteer motorbike marshal. “The best thing about the RACV Great Victorian Bike is the the range of people you meet.” Up to 4000 cyclists take part in the annual event, which will this year pass through many of the Border’s towns and cities, including Albury, Wodonga, and Bright. As a volunteer marshal, Mr Hough watches over the riders’ safety, and is the first on scene for first aid issues. The RACV Great Victorian Bike needs more volunteers like
Mr Hough this year, and with 300 already on board, are hoping to raise that to 325 or more before the event that begins on 29 November. “It is very rewarding giving back to others for what they had done for me in the past, you meet some wonderful people on the ride,” Mr Hough said. “The event is well organised and well planned, any problems are normally fixed as soon as possible. “You get to travel around parts of Victoria at no cost meeting wonderful and interesting people - without volunteers the Great Victorian Bike Ride could not be put on for all the riders.”

Mixed reaction By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE cancellation of next year’s Wodonga Show has been met with mixed reaction by the community. It was announced last week that the show would not be going ahead in 2015 as it clashed with the Ulysses annual general meeting being held at the same venue. However, organisers have guaranteed the event would be running in 2016. Residents took to social media to express their dissapointment at the show being cancelled, while some called for the Wodonga Show Society to create a bigger and better event in 2016. While the cancellation comes as a disappointment to the Wodonga Show Society, its president Len Hogan said they held no hard feelings towards the Ulysses bike club. “While we were a bit dissapointed the show is not going ahead, Ulysses will definitely bring a lot more people to the town than the show would,” he said. “It will be good for the community.” “We will definitely try to make the show bigger and better in 2016.” The Wodonga Show Society tried a number of alternatives to try and see the 2015 event run, but Mr Hogan said an earlier show in the summer heat was not ideal, and a later show would run too close to Easter. The society also needed to factor in around a week after the show to restore the grounds to ensure they were suitable for

Len Hogan says the show must go on after Wodonga Show was cancelled for 2015 128974 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE the Ulysses AGM, which would see hundreds of people camping at the showgrounds. The cancellation has again prompted calls for Albury and Wodonga to merge their shows to create a larger event for both communities to enjoy. Mr Hogan said while the idea might sound good in theory, it would be difficult to put into practice. “It sounds like a good idea, but it would be harder to put into place,” he said. “A lot of work goes into the shows from both committees, and neither would easily want to pack up and go.” What they had to say on our Facebook page about the Wodonga Show being cancelled:
Darren Hayward: The show’s been going down hill for years, both councils should pull resources and just do one huge show for this area Rebecca Pullen: Carnivale is gone and now the Wodonga show. What next? These are meant to be community events for residents to enjoy. I agree with a joint border show above. May Nelson: Awesome an event for the whole family, (note the tone of sarcasm) Wodonga council has no idea about how to run a city. Christopher Romeril: The show is just a rip off these days, couldn’t care less. Karen Reid: I thought they were not getting the numbers for the show - maybe this is more about money?

IF THERE is one thing local beer brewer Matt Hamilton loves, it is buying local. That’s something he knows all about. Having established the boutique beer company Cheeky Peak Brewery in Wodonga, he sees how vital it is for a community to back their local producers and retailers. “It is so important for locals to get behind local producers and keep the money in the community instead of seeing it go to the big giants,” he said. “We have such a great amount of local produce in the region, it’s fresh and much better.” Border residents now have
the chance to back their locals at the QEII Twilight Markets, which is now up and running again. More than 60 stallholders have confirmed that they’ll be selling their wares, offering residents boutique goods, locally grown produce, hand-made arts, craft beers, vintage clothing and records, hand-made jewellery and much more. The QEII Twilight Markets will be held on the second Thursday of every month from October to March, attracting thousands of people each season. “It’s a very boutique market. There will be a lot of stallholders with homegrown and home-
made goods so it’s the perfect place to buy something truly unique,” said Albury Mayor Kevin Mack. “And it’s also a great way to support local traders and designers by giving them a chance to display their wares to the community.” “After you’ve wandered the markets you can grab some dinner and sit on the lawn and enjoy the live music. “The QEII Twilight Markets are a huge part of what makes Albury such a great place to be at this time of year.” The 2014-’15 season promises to be the best yet featuring the market favourites as well as a host of new providers.
Albury-Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre. $65 million. Completion late-2015.
To make a health system healthier, you need to look after every part. The Victorian Government is investing in a world-class health system with high quality, modern hospitals and a highly skilled workforce. A range of new services and facilities at AlburyWodonga Health, including the new Albury-Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, will provide patients with access to world-class health care. Due for completion in 2015, the $65 million Albury-Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, jointly funded by the Australian Government, will include an integrated regional cancer service, a Wellness Centre and research and education facilities for training and support services. The Victorian and Australian F•S•A/DEP0005/AWW
Governments are also funding Albury-Wodonga Health’s $5.5 million emergency department expansion, dialysis and day procedure unit upgrade and investing another $5 million in an advanced medical imaging service – the first of its type in north-east Victoria and southern New South Wales – to provide better emergency and day surgery services. Albury-Wodonga Health is now equipped with two CT scanners, an MRI and a PET/CT scanner, across the two hospital sites, as well as other essential medical imaging services. This is part of $4.5 billion of health infrastructure currently underway, delivering modern, high-quality Authorised by the Victorian Government, 1 Treasury Place, Melbourne.
health services for Victorians. The Victorian Government has also invested $238.3 million over four years to employ an extra 1,000 doctors, nurses, midwives and allied health professionals and to train 35,000 health students each year. By investing in hospitals and people, we are building a world-class health system and a healthier Victoria. To find out more visit health.vic.gov.au

Cash priorities City mayor Kevin Mack said. “This funding allows us to make improvements to various public transport infrastructure around Albury.” “Ultimately, we want to see more people using public transport and if we can invest in the projects that meet the needs of our residents, we hope it will encourage more people to leave the car at home.” “We’re hoping that this process will alert us to the concerns and needs of our residents.” The State Government will announce the successful CPTIGS projects in December. Council is currently preparing its 2015-’16 submission and is inviting residents, users and operators to have a say on their transport priorities. Residents can complete an online survey at alburycity.nsw.gov.au/
haveasay. Submissions will be open until Friday, 17 October. Projects that can be funded by CPTIGS funding include: Improved security and lighting; Seating and shelters for bus, taxi or train passengers; Passenger transport interchanges; Passenger transport information boards, signs etc; Other passenger transport infrastructure or associated facilities to improve access to public transport and; Minor works directly related to passenger transport infrastructure that assist with upgrade to meet the requirements of the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport.

Seniors keep their hi-tech edge By ERIN SOMERVILLE ALBURY Wodonga Community College has a long list of local seniors waiting to update their technology skills through a course that was almost axed. The NSW Government Tech Savvy Seniors Program will remain running at the college, after Albury MP Greg Aplin lobbied the State Government to ensure its funding remained to help local seniors stay connected in an increasingly technological world.

BETTER seating at bus stops, increased security and lighting at taxi ranks or improved signage - where should State Government transport funds be spent? That’s the question AlburyCity is posing to local residents as it prepares to apply for CountryPassenger Transport Infrastructure Grant Scheme (CPTIGS). The program makes funding available for upgrades to transport facilities in regional communities. In the past, CPTIGS funding has been used to install taxi shelters on Dean and Olive streets, as well as seats and shelters at bus stops around Albury. “We’d like to know what our residents’ priorities are for upgrading public transport facilities and infrastructure,” Albury-

NORTHSIDE FURNITURE & BEDDING
Owner Patrick Henderson and his new Lavington store.
Quality furniture and beds WAGGA Wagga businessman and former North Albury resident Patrick Henderson has opened a second furniture store at the former Sam’s Warehouse location at 5 Ways North Albury. Patrick has spent the majority of his life in Furniture retail having started out with Deans Fine Furniture in Dean Street, Albury as a 17 year old. The past 19 years have been spent operating Northside Furniture and Bedding in Wagga Wagga. “I’ve looked at the Albury location for a lot of years and always thought this location would be best suited but it wasn’t until Sams closed that we gave it serious thought,” he said. “We have steered clear of homemaker centres with exorbitant rents reducing our overheads significantly offering our cus-
tomers huge savings. “We also offer more options to pay including our No Interest Ever Take Home Layby which allows the customer to take the goods home the same day and pay it back on layby up to 30 months with No Interest Ever. “We take the risk like no other to offer everyone the chance to own quality furniture and beds. We have packages tailored for pensioners, unemployed and just about anybody in need of furniture.” Northside Furniture and Bedding is part of a larger buying group and will be sending out catalogues every two months loaded with bargains. Northside Furniture and Bedding is Open 7 Days Monday to Friday 9am 5:30pm Saturday 9am- 4pm & Sunday 10am - 3pm.

Chow chow a bow-wow By ERIN SOMERVILLE

AT JUST three months old, Albury’s very own chow chow, Charli, has already made a big name for herself. This weekend she was crowned the region’s cutest dog, and along with her owner Stephanie Wong, is already gearing up to compete in the state round of Australia’s Cutest Dog this week. With dozens of adorable and personable pooches over-running PETstock Albury for the weekend’s competition, judges had their work cut out for them. “This is a chance to celebrate the natural beauty of Australia’s dogs in their many varied forms,” PETstock CEO Shane Young said. “There is no winning formula but if there’s one piece of advice I can give entrants, it’s to encourage your dog to showcase their personality. “We want to see ‘puppy dog eyes’ in the photos!” Mr Young said that while the competition was tough, the weekend’s event proved to be a great day out for everyone, whether they came on feet or paws. “It was great to see local residents proudly show off their buddies and we were blown away by their efforts to stand out from the crowd,” he said. Charli and Ms Wong won

Border Bike Fest

Motorbike Show and Shine and Swap Meet
Revved up for fund-raising By TANIA PHILLIPS THE seventh annual Border Bike Festival is expected to raise between $10,000 and $15,000 after attracting a large crowd at the weekend. The event, the major fund-raiser for the Lions Club of Wodonga, is run by the club in conjunction with support from the local branch of the Ulysses Motorcycle Club. The event has attracted 200 exhibitors from all over Australia including one from as far away as Perth for the first time. Lions Club member Mike Georgiou said while numbers are a little down on last year - probably due to the clash with the motor-racing at Bathurst - this would still probably financially be the most successful event yet. “We have had a lot of support from the local business community and from the council,” Mr Georgiou said. “This is our major fund-raiser of the year and we are very close to a record year. “We held a major raffle and started it a few months ago - giving away a motor bike on the day.” Mr Georgiou said the event took 12 months to plan and is “pretty intensive” with more than 100 volunteers giving up their time to help make the festival a success. He said so far over the previous six years, the festival had raised $55,000. “And we hope to donate $10,000 to $15,000,” he said. “All the proceeds from the event go to charity.” He said it was pleasing to see so many families coming along to Gateway Lakes at Wodonga for this year’s festival.

As well as the bikes - which covered all generations from the 1900s right up until now - there were plenty of traders involved including those selling food, clothing, motorscycles and accessories - helping to make the event such a great drawcard. “We had a record number of traders,” Mr Georgiou said. “And there were lots of kids activities, too.”

Whitsunday Islands - Queensland
Kick back for cruisin’ country THERE is something relaxing about kicking back and listening to a bit of country music on a lazy spring evening and there is something equally as relaxing about kicking back on a cruise ship and relaxing. So why not combine the two and have the trip of a lifetime? Wondonga Travel and Cruise, 86 High Street, Wodonga, currently have places available for the Get on Board Cruisin’ Country No. Five, departing from Sydney on 9 October next year. Imagine sailing for eight nights to ports including Lifou (Loyalty Islands), Port Vila (Vanuatu) and Noumea (New Caledonia) and enjoying live performances from some of Australia’s best country music stars. Where else (other than Tamworth at festival time) is it possible to listen to Troy Cassar-Daley, Adam Harvey, Sara Storer, The McClymonts, McAlister Kemp O’Shea, Amber Lawrence and Catherine Britt (among others) performing. There are also line and bush dancing events, song writing and guitar workshops, open mic sessions, comedy shows, Casino Royale and Piano Bar.
For country music fans this is heaven on water with a variety of accommodation to suit all budgets. Cruising is on the beautiful Radiance of the Seas, decked out with acres of glass enclosing the nine-storey central atrium, lifts facing the sea and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout cruisers will never be at a loss for an incredible view. And there are eight new dining experiences ranging from casual eats to premium dining and everything in between. Other new features on board the Radiance of the Seas include the Royal Babies and Tots Nursery, VIP guest lounges, and an outdoor, poolside cinema screen which will be showing country music movies at night. For those who are seeking adventurous activities, relaxing moments or fine fare, Radiance of the Seas has the features to please every taste and offers the holiday of a lifetime even without such big names of the country music world. For more information on this and other great tours contact Wodonga Travel and Cruise on 6024 3422 or head to www.wodongatravel.com.au.

Barossa Valley - South Australia
Resorting to relaxing times A HOT and long summer is predicted so it’s important that holiday makers choose somewhere refreshing for the family to escape to this season. Just over an hour from Albury/ Wodonga, the breathtaking Upper Murray Resort beckons visitors to come and relax, unwind, and cool off where the hills meet the Murray. With two big, inviting swimming pools just waiting for visitors to jump in, there is no better place to escape this spring and summer away from the crowds. Situated between Jingellic and Walwa, the resort creeps up the side of a hill across 180 acres, providing commanding views of the Upper Murray region for all who choose to stay. With the weather so perfect this season, there is so much on offer to take advantage of the magical and untouched scenery surrounded the resort. The active guests are spoilt for choice and will struggle trying to decide how to spend their day, whether it be canoeing the Murray River, having a hit of tennis, a swing of golf, fishing, getting back to nature through a bushwalk, bird watching or cruising along on a bike. Guests who prefer to put their feet up and simply relax can do just that. There is no better place in the region to relax by the pool to catch up on some reading, take a refreshing dip, or simply chill out under a big blue sky in the outdoor spa.

Well-kept secret out in the open A friendly neighbour or staff member is always around to help out, to catch up for a chat, or to simply start off your day with a smile and wave. If that wasn’t enough, the decadent facilities can cater to almost every need of its residents. The architecturally designed $4.5 million clubhouse gives the over-50s estate a constant resort-living feel and inside its wonderful staff can help with just about any problem residents may have. When residents do decide to go on holiday, they are assured knowing their home is in safe hands and is being cared for. It may sound like an over50s plan set aside for the rich, but this kind of quality living is affordable for most. Some residents like to think of Kensignton Gardens as a lifestyle estate and they are not wrong. With everything it has to offer, only an enriched, easy and happier life lies ahead. The following pages explore all Kensington Gardens has to offer and show the wonderful life residents have in this idyllic part of the world.

IT APPEARS the secret is finally out. Tucked away in the tranquil, rural setting of Thurgoona, Kensington Gardens is simply too good not to share. And it is open to explore on 25 and 26 October as Kensington Gardens opens its doors to the public to show why it is such a favourite. As the word gets out about the first class resort-style living on offer, its wonderful social community, and its ability to maximise on active retiree’s plans, it is no wonder over-50s are coming from all over the state to join in on this patch of paradise. Times have changed and Kensington Gardens has rewritten the book on senior living. Long gone are the days of stuffy activities, tiny homes, and dated attitudes on retirees. This is a place where people of all backgrounds come to truly live, not to just retire. The friendly team of staff knows their over-50s deserve the best after years of work and they are there to provide just that. Kensington Gardens
doesn’t believe in putting its residents into a pokey house, and offers living in spacious and modern homes, some which haven’t even been built yet. Homes are thoughtfully designed to award-winning standards and built to highest quality with plenty of open living and spaces for guests to stay, to create a study or utility room and soak up a great day in the master bedroom suites. Spacious double garages means residents don’t have to leave a thing behind when moving in, with enough room to fit everything from the boat to the boxes of keepsakes they can’t bring themselves to part with. The estate is beautifully manicured and presented, and always will be. The homes are also guaranteed to stay in pristine condition and while things won’t often go wrong having been built to the highest standard of quality, there is always a friendly pair of hands on call to help with any maintenance problems that may occur. On top the beautiful setting, Kensington Gardens also has an undeniably wonderful community guaranteed to win over anyone.

OPEN DAY
The grownd is being laid for the stage five development. 128957
Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE
Earth moves for new residents IT MAY just look like a stretch of dirt at the moment but in a few months Kensington Gardens’s latest development will be the envy of the neighbourhood. As the estate continues to grow in popularity, the ground is being flattened, frames will be going up, and a new phase of 24 homes will be rolled out to make room for future residents to come and join in on its wonderful lifestyle. Overlooking the majestic Alps, the lots are highly sought-after and will offer comfortable living right on the doorstep of nature.
Buyers will have to be quick, with almost a third of the properties already snapped up. And what’s not to love about building a future right here at Kensington Gardens? Residents relish the ability to choose the home they want built, with custom-twists and tailoring within regulation on offer to create a unique home for everyone. The new stage offers buyers lots with the opportunity to create northfacing alfrescos with extra backyard and garden space, a unique village aspect that sets Kensington Gardens
apart. Best of all, residents are given a chance to truly make the house their own. There are numerous brick selections to choose from as well as diverse carpet, roofing, doors, tiles, and kitchens options. Deciding from the wonderful selection on offer may just be the hardest thing would-be residents have to do at Kensington Gardens so the team even has someone on hand to help them through that process. Kensington Gardens manager Tony Lieschke said the new development would appeal to anyone, whether
they’re homebodies or constantly out and about. Mr Lieschke is inviting potential future residents to come out to the village and check out the new development for themselves at the Kensington Gardens Open Day on 25 and 26 October, with plenty of great lots still available for interested buyers. He said the village’s increasing popularity was spurring on its growth. “It has really accelerated over the past two years,” he said. “We are not just appealing to locals, but also developing an interest from
The builder of choice for Kensington Gardens Albury
people in metropolitan areas, we’ve got people coming from Sydney and Canberra,” he said. A great location near shops, transport, and the beautiful Thurgoona Golf Course serving as a perfect next-door neighbour only adds to the estate’s already overwhelming appeal. With such outstanding afforable lots on offer, the only question for those who are interested is can they afford not to live here? To help with the decision, a taste of the great life at the Kensington Gardens is available at the Open Day on 25 and 26 October.

Couple make the connection JANINE and Stan Marsh are just one of many couples who have been pulled from afar by Kensington Gardens’s magnetic lure. Two years ago, the couple left their Canberra life behind in search of a change of pace, a better lifestyle and a relaxed country atmosphere. Since discovering Kensington Gardens, they haven’t looked back. “Canberra is very good but it can be a very unsociable place if you’re not working,” Mr Marsh said. “This place has a very community feel. “Some days it can take me an hour to get my mail from just chatting to everyone in the street.” With Albury Wodonga boasting some great shopping, medical, and transport facilities, all the while ringed by stunning rural scenery and country hospitality, the couple feel they are now getting the best of both worlds. There are so many overwhelming choices couples have when investigating over-50 es-

tates, however for Mr and Mrs Marsh, Kensington Gardens was an easy decision. “A lot of places promised to be like this, but many of their facilities weren’t built,” Mr Marsh said. “Everything that Kensington Gardens promised was already here, and you can see they are doing it to a very high standard.” While the idea of building a home can be a daunting one, the team at Kensington Gardens helped make the steps very simple for the Marsh couple.
Phone: (02) 6049 3100
“We have never built our own house before, and it was a very positive experience.” They also enjoyed the individualised touch they were able to make on their home, personalising it with their taste in paint, tiles and decor. But those who are interested don’t need to just take the Marsh couple’s word for it. They can head on out to the Kensington Gardens Open Day on 25 and 26 October to be guaranteed to find dozens of other residents just waiting to share their life-changing experience of moving to the estate.
A WORD from Kensington Gardens manager Tony Lieschke: “For those who have been considering the option of lifestyle estate living for the over-50s, there is no better opportunity than our annual open days to explore that further. “Of course, we are open for visits throughout the year, but the open weekends provide the unique experience of meeting our residents to get their perspective of lifestyle living. “Also, with the accelerated increase in demand locally and abroad, we are frantically in development of our fifth stage. “We will, of course, be able to walk you over this on the day. “I can’t emphasis enough what our current residents who attended took away from their initial visits to these events. “We believe we have an outstanding facility and look forward to showcasing it on 25 and 26 October.”

Grow into the gardens lifestyle By ERIN SOMERVILLE AT Kensington Gardens, it’s all about the lifestyle. The team at the estate knows life doesn’t stop after retirement and is there to help residents make the most of really living their days to the fullest. Kensington Gardens is responsible for the maintance of the home, lawns, gardens and everything else which frees up residents to spend their time doing things they love. “It has a great appeal for the over50s’ lifestyle,” Kensington Gardens manager Tony Lieschke said. “It’s great for people looking for easy-maintainable and low-stress living. “We have people who have gone travelling for six or seven months and they come back and just walk straight back in.” Active travellers will love Kensington Gardens’ latest development - caravan and recreational vehicle lock-up sheds. As part of developing stage five, there will be lock-up caravan sheds, equipped with power points for charging fridges, etc. Residents and staff are excited about the new addition to their facility which helps give Kensington Gardens the edge on other lifestyle villages for the active travellers. “Kensington Gardens is regularly meeting the needs of its residents,” Mr
The residents' workshop that will be developed on the Stage Five Pictures: ERIN SOMERVILLE developments. 128953

Lieschke said. “This is a terrific point-of-difference and helps make us unique. “Not many villages have the space to provide this.” The new facility means residents can lock up their pride and joy safely and leave plenty of room in their garage or driveway. Another great lifestyle addition being created in stage five developments is the resident workshop. Operating similar to the men’s shed
ing to step out of the village for weeks on end. One of the establishment’s favourite groups, the arts and crafts group, will be around at Kensington Gardens’ Open Day on 25 and 26 October to show potential future residents the great activities that are on offer. A lot of residents enjoy passing their evening with a cool, frothy beer or tasty red wine in hand and having a hit of pool at the Kensington Gardens’ bar, and with the weather fining up the
concept, the new shed will provide all residents with a place to get together, create, and learn new skills. It is another feature that will continue to enrich the social and wellbeing aspect of residents at Kensington Gardens. While the new features are being created, there is already an array of activities residents can join in on offer. The community garden, indoor bowls, indoor cinema and the heated indoor pool and spa are all enough to keep residents entertained without hav-
massive outdoor barbecue area will soon be getting a big workout. For those who like to go beyond the Kensington Garden walls, regular daytrips are planned to help residents see the best of the Border without the stress of driving and navigating themselves. With so much on offer, and something happening there almost every day, it is easy to see why residents come to Kensington Gardens to really live it up.

Top artists at music festival THE first artists have been announced for next year’s third annual Big Sky Blues and Roots Festival at Deniliquin in April. Formerly known as the Deni Blues and Roots Festival - The 2015 Big Sky Blues and Roots Festival is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW. Early Bird tickets for the Big Sky Blues and Roots Festival went on sale from 9am yesterday until 11.59pm on Thursday, 23 October, 2014. Camp-
grounds will open at midday on Good Friday, 3 April with entertainment beginning in the XXXX Bar on Friday night with a special performance by Harry Hookey. The first artists to be announced for the 2015 Festival are Zac Brown Band, Michael Franti and Spearhead, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Mavis Staples, Benny Walker, Dallas Frasca and Dale Winters. The change of name to Big Sky Blues and Roots Festival gives the event a unique identity that more ac-
curately reflects the spirit and location of a festival taking place on the expansive, striking landscape, under the big sky of the Riverina Plains. Michael Chugg, chairman of Chugg Entertainment, who along with Rob Potts from Entertainment Edge, were present at the festival. “We’ve been so thrilled with the growth the festival has made in its short but busy life thus far,” Michael Chugg said. “We’re really confident that now, in its third year, the punters know and
trust that this fantastic Easter event is a trusted source of great music and great fun. The site works so wonderfully well, with the infrastructure that’s already there, but additionally with the stunning landscape with its low horizon and the dome of the big sky above, it’s just magic. We can’t wait!” Rob Potts from Entertainment Edge added, “After two great years of beautiful sunny weather in the open air and non-stop music between the two big stages, we can’t wait to get back for
2015. The clamouring for the return of Zac Brown Band and Michael Franti and Spearhead has been deafening, and we’re thrilled that legends like George Clinton and Mavis Staples will be making their festival debut under the “big sky” next Easter”. The two day Big Sky Blues and Roots Festival is unique for southern NSW and gives music fans in the Southern States access to a world class music event just three hours from Melbourne, four hours from Canberra and less than five hours from Adelaide.

Thriller is hard-boiled IF YOU were wondering what Dan Stevens quit Downtown Abbey to do, then wonder no longer. ‘A Walk Among the Tombstones’, from Roadshow, opening today, is one of his first major projects post Downtown and is a million miles from his clean-cut Matthew Crawley. Based on Lawrence Block’s bestselling series of mystery novels, ‘A Walk Among the Tombstones’ stars Liam Neeson (Non-Stop, Taken series) as Matt Scudder, an ex-NYPD cop who now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help heroin trafficker Kenny Kristo (Downtown Abbey’s Stevens) hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime ... nor will it be the last. Blurring the lines between right and wrong, Scudder races to track the deviants through the backstreets of New York City before they kill again. Co-starring in the suspense thriller are Boyd Holbrook (Very Good Girls) as Peter Kristo, Kenny’s brother and a recovering drug addict who enlists Scudder’s help tracking down the murderers; David Harbour (Quantum of Solace) as Ray and Adam David Thompson (Martha Marcy May Marlene) as Albert, two demented serial killers whose ability to fade into the shadows allows them to stay one step ahead of the police; and Brian “Astro� Bradley (Earth to Echo) as TJ, a homeless young artist who befriends the ex-cop. Of course Neeson and Stevens are not the only drawcards to this movie.
On display.
Pucker up for this one LOCAL artist Adele Sommer reflects joyfully upon her past experiences of love gained and love lost in her colourful third solo show, Kiss My Art. Kiss My Art opened on Friday, 10 October at 5.30pm and will be available to view for the next month. This energetic display of semi-abstract acrylic paintings highlights the benefits of broken hearts, emotional exchanges and life experience that have informed the work in this exhibition. While it is her art taking centre stage for most of the month, Adele herself will be the centre of attention for one morning. She will hold an artist's talk on Saturday, 1 November at 10.30am - check the venue for details.
Liam Neeson stars with Dan Stevens. The story is part of a much-loved book series which has been in print for the past 40 years. The story of A Walk Among The Tombstones goes back to the early ’90s when novelist Lawrence Block wrote the book - his 10th in his best-selling series that follows the cases of troubled private detective Matthew Scudder in his quest for redemption. The four-time Edgar Award-winning writer readily admits that the excop remains a character who simply will not leave his mind. “I started writing about Matthew Scudder in the mid-’70s. There have been moments over the years where it’s seemed as though the series was
done, but there always seemed to be more I had to say about him.� Fortunately for readers who can’t get enough of Scudder’s dark trials and harrowing tribulations, Block has crafted 17 novels and one book-length collection of short stories based on his protagonist. In fact, the series is so popular that it has been in print for more than 40 years and has been translated into more than 20 languages. More than a decade ago, the novel was brought to the attention of Jersey Films by Scott Frank, an accomplished screenwriter with whom the production company had frequently collaborated. Frank was certain that Block’s
signature book would translate into a harrowing suspense thriller, and knew that the filmmakers would be intrigued by its premise. Indeed, they were moved by the story’s tortured soul who sought redemption for past transgressions, as well as the page-turning nature of the intimately documented crimes. Producer Stacey Sher reflects: “There are two things always going on in Lawrence’s novels: Scudder’s internal struggle and whatever mystery or intense situation that he is going through in each book. “The character’s under extreme pressure, and the situations are extremely tense.�

THE Albury Wodonga Islamic community fears it could soon face hostility from residents with the heavy national media focus on Islamic terrorists. The comments come from Islamic Society of Albury Wodonga president Yakub Muhammad who spoke to the Albury Wodonga News Weekly following anti-terror raids on Islamic homes across Australia and a ramped-up national committment to fight the Islamic State, or ISIS. Mr Muhammad said the constant recent media coverage of a small percentage of Islamic extremists, who he said the peaceful local community condemn, threatened to create a fear mongering mentality against all Muslims, particularly in regional Australia. “Regional areas tend to cop it the most because there isn’t as much education or exposure to Muslims,� he said. “All of a sudden people can see someone with dark skin in a turban or Islamic costume or with a head scarf on, and I have specifically seen here some people get scared and some get angry.�" Mr Muhammad, Yakub Muhammad. who has lived in Albury for 27 years, said his sister and wife have recently been abused in a car park by a man for wearing hijabs (scarfs that cover the hair) and were left feeling shaken and too afraid to continue their shopping. His friend’s wife has also reported being abused by a man in Lavington shopping centre for wearing a niqab (veil that covers the face and shows only the eyes), and said she had to publicly defend her decision for wanting to wear one for religious reasons. Mr Muhammad said he is concerned about the effect current international events and media coverage will create, particularly on Albury Wodonga’s approximate 300 Muslim residents. “I’m just waiting to get more abusive calls, I think they are coming big time,� he said. “Islam is about peace, not violence or beheadings, that’s not Islam� he said. Mr Muhammad said he is making an effort to open the doors of the local Muslim community to residents who have any questions or are curious, including holding open days.

DOMESTIC violence should not remain behind closed doors. This is the message local police and support workers are shouting across the city following a rise in reported cases this year. The latest Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research report shows 50 extra cases of domestic violence were reported in Albury during the 12 months to June, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. The 19 per cent jump means Albury’s latest domestic violence count stands at 310 incidents. With staff at the Women’s Centre for Health and Well-being Albury Wodonga seeing more than this number of women every year, it is almost certain this is only a small fraction of incidents occuring behind closed doors in the local government area. “The statistics don’t reflect how many women and children suffer from domestic violence,� the centre’s health promotion worker Peta Pitman said. The incorporation acknowledges women can occasionally be the instigators of domestic violence themselves, but statistics show the crime is most often committed by males. The centre works with local residents to help them escape domestic violence situations, and provide them with knowledge, options, and support. Many women seek assistance anonomously. “For us, it’s all about wanting women to be safe,� Ms Pitman said. “We work with experts to support them in what way is right for their individual situation.� There have been suggestions that the rise in domestic vioence reports could be a positive indication that it is no longer a crime being kept secret. “In terms of that, we are seeing more confidence with victims report-

THE Border’s music scene is not being given a proper chance to be heard, say local artists. The comments come after NSW Police Minister Michael Gallacher stated earlier this month that the live music industry was dead thanks to the closure of music venues. Local artists say the music scene is well and truly flourishing behind closed garage doors on the Border, but finding avenues to perform live can be tricky. Many local acts find it necessary to travel out of the region and to major cities to showcase their hard work. A heavy emphasis on DJs and pop music culture through programs such as The Voice and X Factor has also been detrimental to up-and-coming musicians, with audiences constantly demanding more than a stripped-down, talented performance, Border artists said. Albury band Midnight Alibi’s singer James Oswald is one of many musicians who spoke to the Albury Wodonga News Weekly, and is eager to see more support for live music. “The music scene here is better than what people think,� he said. “In the last five years there have been that many people starting bands and playing. “There is a lot of need to have a platform to showcase the work.� With many venues preferring to hire cover bands or DJs, some local artists say they feel pushed out of the scene on the Border. “We have both a vibrant music scene with lots of local talent but it is being squandered by the lack of a dedicated live music venue who regularly have bands on,� local musician and sound engineer Jake Mannik said. Local bands say they face further obstacles when they do secure some local stages, having to fork out for a sound engineer and security if none are already provided at the venue. For

as ‘Indi expats’, had full knowledge of the fraudulent conduct and even encouraged it. No evidence has been put forward that Ms McGowan knew of this conduct. Ms McGowan’s media adviser has stated that she will not be making further comments on the incident at this stage. Meanwhile, Voices 4 Indi president Alana Johnson said the group had not yet been contacted by the AEC and denied endorsing fraudulent voting. She further outlined concern that the investigation could deter young voters from heading to the polls. “We only know what we’ve read in the paper, we’ve not had any contact from the AEC,� Ms Johnson said. “Many rural young people leave home to study, travel and work, they are often transient and their family home remains their permanent address. If young people’s place of enrolment is an issue for Indi, then it is an issue for rural electorates across the country. “Any clarification and improvement the AEC can make to the enrolment process that encourages and helps young people to be involved will be welcomed.� Meanwhile, the AEC was unable to outline the consequences for Ms McGowan’s political future if the investigation ruled her campaigners submitted fake votes, but said findings would be released shortly. Acting Electoral Commissioner Tom Roger, who was last week tasked with examining enrolment details, said he was taking the matter very seriously “I have asked for the AEC examination to be given the highest priority,� he said. “These investigations are continuing at the present time. Once the task is completed - which I expect to be soon - if there is any doubt at all regarding the enrolments, I will take further steps, including, if necessary, referral to the AFP.�

INDEPENDENT Member for Indi Cathy McGowan says she fully supports an investigation into electoral fraud after claims many Indi voters in the 2013 Federal Election supplied incorrect residential details. While Ms McGowan stated earlier this week that she had not yet been contacted by the Australian Electoral Commission, she highlighted in a public statement that she welcomed any queries they might have. She first heard of the allegations on Friday. “It’s important the Australian people have the utmost confidence in the AEC and electoral process and I know they will undertake an extensive and professional investigation,� Ms McGowan said. “But we must be mindful these are allegations, so let’s wait and see the results before making a judgement.� Ms McGowan won the seat of Indi in a surprise 439-vote win over Liberal candidate Sophie Mirabella last September through a strong grassroots campaign known as Voices 4 Indi. It is now believed many voters were no longer living in the area at the time of election. The AEC’s new integrity unit is reportedly investigating over 20 potentially fraudulent enrolments by McGowan supporters, whose Indi enrolment addresses fail to correspond with their home addresses in other seats, previous enrolment information, and social media information such as on Facebook and LinkedIn. Ms McGowan agrees that the unlawful declarations should be fully investigated. “An enrolment is a declaration made by an individual to the AEC and it is up to the individual to ensure it is accurate and lawful,� she said. Allegations have surfaced that McGowan campaign workers, referred to

Border ball for a cause THERE is always a great amount of charitable and fundraising work going on at the Border, so here is one of many ways you can pitch in to help some great causes in the region this month. What will you choose: Tassels, paisley, bell bottoms, fluro leg warmers, punk, or way too much denim? That’s the question on everyone’s mind in preparing for the St Joseph’s Beechworth Retro Ball to be held on Friday, 24 October 2014 at the Old Priory. The theme this year is Retro 60s, 70s and 80s and everyone is asked to join in the fancy dress fun. “We want to extend our invitation to the whole community,” says committee member Deanne Drage. “The parent organising com-
mittee has lined up some great entertainment for the night including local artists, Jason McDaniel and his band Roadhouse, a photo booth, games, best dressed awards and a silent auction. “We have a great menu of yummy finger food and a few fun retro treats to enjoy as well,” she said. The annual ball is in its fourth year and is both a celebration and a major fund-raising event for the school. “The funds raised from the event will go towards building healthy active kids through extending our BluEarth Program and improving our playground,” principal Kitty Hancock said. This year the organising committee has taken a different approach and has been fortunate to gain sponsorship from 10 local businesses.
“We are delighted to develop partnerships with local businesses and particularly excited to have two Gold Sponsors; Dalcheri and the Beechworth and District Community Bank,” Mrs Hancock said. With such a fun night lined up, the committee is keen to invite the community to come and join in the fun. “Don’t come alone” Ms Drage said, “be sure to bring a pose, that way you won’t look quite so silly cruising around Beechworth in your funky swag,” she said. Tickets for the event can be purchased from the Beechworth and District Community Bank at $60 per person. Tickets include entry, entertainment, finger food, a complimentary drink and a guaranteed fun night.

Gilbert is one of Australia’s most loved comedians having appeared on The Comedy Company and Hey Hey It’s Saturday as well as countless other TV comedy shows. His energetic comedy style never fails to have audiences roaring with laughter. Irish-born Dave Callan has always somewhat resembled the Paddle-Pop Lion or a young
Billy Connolly and luckily for us, when he takes to the stage the resemblance to the Lion ceases. Callan gained wide popularity while performing on Rove (Nine Network) and also on the first series of Rove Live (Network Ten), but left the show to pursue his love for stand-up comedy. His other TV credits include O’Loghlin on Saturday night (ABC), Standing Up (ABC), King of the Road (SBS), Good Morning Australia (Ten Network), The (NRL) Footy Show (Nine Network), Hey Hey It’s Saturday (Nine Network), as a recurring guest on Spicks and Specks (ABC), and a regular performer on the yearly “Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala”. If variety is indeed the spice of life, then Des Dowling’s career is a vindaloo of life threatening intensity. He spent the early years of his career as a news and current affairs reporter for the ABC, Channel Seven and Channel Nine. Des decided making people laugh, rather than making them cry, was a far more noble
way to earn a living. In the years since, he’s carved out a career as a top line comedian and corporate entertainer travelling the length and breadth of Australia. He’s headlined at Australia’s premier comedy clubs and performed his own sold out comedy/sketch show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Combining his comedic and television skills he worked for two years writing and directing sketches for the hugely successful “AFL Footy Show” and wrote and directed three half-hour documentaries for Arena Television’s “Day In The Life” series. He also wrote and directed Channel 10’s Logie nominated, comedy mockumentary series “Mark Loves Sharon”. Tickets for the early show are $15 for seniors or $20 for all other tickets. Tickets for the 7.30pm show (which has a language warning) are $35 for early birds or $38 at the door. Bookings are required on (02) 6022 9311, in person or online at thecubewodonga.com. au/tickets.

Homes&Property �� Albury Wodonga
Vast acreage amid nature By ERIN SOMERVILLE WHEN you step foot on this Felltimber Creek property, you can’t help but think the owners had snagged themselves a little slice of heaven. Tucked in the privacy of rolling green hills, inviting the best of nature such as echidnas and birds to play in the houseyard, and overlooking the city of Wodonga in the valley below, this is an easy place to call home. Set on a picturesque 117 acres, starring two large spring-fed dams for cattle and watering the garden, two creeks, and three large water tanks, the opportunities for a great rural lifestyle here in all-weather conditions are endless. The spacious and easily-maintained backyard comes equipped with a circular driveway, and a large shed is perched in the back corner guaranteed to hold almost all your large goods. Best of all, a carpeted room equipped with running water and electricity adds potential to create a space such as an office, man-cave, recreational room, gym, or spare guest area- the opportunities are endless. There is also a large double lock-up garage attached the house to store your vehicles and goods safely. Visitors are guaranteed to be stunned by the beautiful home, whose style and character seamlessly blend into the countryside around it. The rammed earth home opens into a spacious living and dining area, before leading onto a stunning open kitchen. The kitchen offers spectacular views onto the countryside that is allows beckoning to be looked at, and capitalises on the countryside with its beautiful red gum servery. A large walk-in pantry will ensure your kitchen is never cluttered. A highlight of the kitchen is the double French doors that open onto a spectacular covered dining area outside, allowing you to savour the best food and wine in the magical countryside setting. Off the open kitchen/living area, the house carries down a short set of stairs and opens into the spectacular living encased under a roughly 20-foot ceiling, equipped with a large Coonarra heating system diving the living area into two separate rooms if desired. This room is an absolute showcase piece of the home, and as it opens onto a private outdoor dining area, is guaranteed to wow you and visitors everytime. This area is complete with a mezzanine master-bedroom, equipped with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and a Juliet balcony overlooking the spectacular valley. Options are available to make the suite more private if desired. The three bredrooms are of a great size, and come with built-in wardrobes. The laundry area is very large, and comes with extensive covered storage space. Evaporative cooling, floor heating, ceiling
fans, and wood fires will leave residents comfortable all year round. A real highlight of the home is the separated living quarters, that lie just beyond the attached garage. It comes with a large living space, a bathroom, kitchen sink, and its own balcony, creating a real sense of isolation and privacy from the main home. This area creates endless opportunities, including an office area, space for the older teenager, or even to be converted to a bed and breakfast. The outdoor area is easy to maintain, and room has even been created for a swimming pool.

Homes&Property Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria
Albury Wodonga
Selling season in full swing THE spring selling season is in full swing and an increasing number of homes are for sale across regional Victoria. For those who choose to sell, adjusting to the particular demands of living in a house which is on the market requires some organisation. The regional market is showing sustained price growth – 4.1 per cent statewide in the year to 30 June – and at such times, those thinking of selling are encouraged to consider their options. While the number of auctions has been increasing in outer metropolitan and regional areas, private sales – where an extended sale and marketing period is possible – remain most popular. More than 80 per cent of sales in regional areas are private sales. Some vendors may find this less stressful than selling at auction. But it can mean a property is on the market for longer than the typical four-week auction period. During that time, sellers have to be ready for inspections at any opportunity. Even the tidiest of homes is rarely maintained each day to the high standard buyers expect at a viewing. To ensure the sales period does not turn into a housekeeping marathon, work out a strategy in advance. Agree on particular viewing days and suitable times with your agent and arrange for reasonable notice – perhaps 24 hours – of appointments by prospective buyers.
But be flexible; many a home has been bought on the spur of the moment by a buyer who spotted the signboard. If storing furniture to create a more spacious look in your
home, ensure the most practical items are still accessible. For example, if a big family gathering is coming up, store extra chairs in a friend’s garage where they can be easily retrieved.
Make a list of the vital chores to be completed around the house immediately before an inspection and pay attention to those ongoing maintenance tasks, such as weeding the garden and mow-
ing the lawn, which will make the whole property appear more presentable to interested buyers – including those who are curious and passing by.

Local Sport Good start for the East By TANIA PHILLIPS MINOR Premiers East Albury have put in a solid start to the season recording a six-wicket win over Albury in their opening Cricket Albury Wodonga, Provincial First Grade against Albury at Bilson Oval last weekend. Batting first after winning the toss, Albury were all out for 135 in the 43rd over of their 50 over game, thanks to tight bowling by the East line-up. The honours were shared around with opening bowler Cameron White proving economical and leading the way, finishing with 2-17 off his 10 overs. While C. Bridle (2-14), S. Barrett (2-28) and James McNeil 2-4 off his 2.3 overs. In reply, East passed the Albury total for the loss of just
four wickets in the 31st over. Alex Papco top scored with a solid 50 while J. Shepherd was unbeaten on 36 and James McNeill made 24. “It was a pretty good wicket - a bit slow,” East captain James McNeill said. “But it was a good start to the season," he said. East, who were top of the table only to be bundled out of the semi-finals by St Pats, face a tough challenge this week when they take on the tough Wodonga 11 at Alexandra Park on Saturday. Wondonga also started the season well with a win over New City at Les Cheesley Oval. Batting first after winning the toss, Wondonga made 192 with one ball remaining in their 50 overs. In reply, they were able to hold New City to 7/118 in
their allotted overs and claim the victory. Meanwhile, in other games Wondonga Raiders defeated Tallangatta at Rowen Park. Raiders scoring 6-212 off 50 and taking just 34 overs to demolish Tallangatta and have them back in the pavilion all out for 86. In the other available result, St Patricks defeated Lavington at Xavier Oval. Batting first Lavington made 9-193 and in reply St Patricks finished the day at eight down for 216. This week Lavington play Albury at Panthers Oval, North Albury face Belvoir at Bunton Park, New City play Tallangatta at Urana Road Oval, East Albury play Wodonga at Alexandra Park and St Patricks face Wodonga Raiders at Xavier Oval, matches starting at 1pm.
