It pays to get the jab By MONIQUE KUZEFF A NEW immunisation policy ‘No Jab, No Pay’ requires that parents of children (less than 20 years of age) who are not fully immunised or on a recognised catch-up schedule will no longer be eligible to receive family assistance payments. The No Jab, No Pay policy was put into action from 1 January as a part of the Federal Government’s commitment to improving immunisation coverage in Australia. According to the new policy, conscientious objection and vaccination objection on non-medical grounds will no longer be a valid exemption from immunisation requirements and Centrelink will notify families who do not meet the new immunisation requirements. General practitioner at the Jindera Medical and Acupuncture Centre Dr Glen Mobilia, who has been applying the new requirements, supports the government’s new immunisation policy. Dr Mobilia said the positives of immunisation far outweigh the negative and he believed that people should think not only of their child but of other people’s children as well. “I believe that immunisation does prevent the infectious diseases and consequences of those diseases. “You’ve been given an incentive to try and do what the evidence at the time strongly shows,” Dr Mobilia said. “Overall the best option is not always clear however, we should try and base what we do on readily available evidence. “There is an overall responsibility in other people who have taken that step with immunisation and you’ve got to consider the general community prevention strategy,” he said. Dr Mobilia said the incentive of family assistance payment should not be the reason parents get their children vaccinated. “Unfortunately it does happen, for example some people get pregnant be-

cause there’s some pregnancy payout available,” he said. “You’ve got to respect that people are entitled to have a their own view

and all I can really do in my position is provide information from which they can come to a decision as parents for their children.”

The new policy states that only medical contra-indications and natural immunity are considered for possible exemptions from the new immunisa-

tion requirements but a form must be completed that is then submitted to the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) for overview.

Rescue mission accomplished By MONIQUE KUZEFF A TARGET to raise $10,000 through Christmas gift wrapping was exceeded last year. The funds will go directly towards aiding Albury Wodonga Animal Rescue (AWAR) and Albury Cat Rescue (ACR) with their mission to help dogs, cats and animals alike. AWAR and ACR runs gift wrapping pop-up shops at the end of each year in December and contribute the money to the operation of the two organisations. AWAR secretary Danielle Maclean said the generous amount of money that was raised would be used for de-sexing and a variety of other things. “The money goes towards homing the animals, vet work that needs to be done, food, medication, flu treatments, collars, leads and bowls for both cats and dogs predominantly,” Ms Maclean said. Even though gift wrapping was launched a week later than usual, Ms Maclean said she was surprised about the end figure. “The last week and a half was absolutely crazy,” Ms Maclean said. “We were pretty well wrapping a gift every five minutes.” Ms Maclean said the number of gifts wrapped would’ve been high, and most likely exceeded 1500. “Some people would bring in more than one gift and a local childcare did about 50 presents. “I think there would’ve been between 1000 and 2000 gifts wrapped to be quite honest.” There was a lot of local support with regulars from previous years coming back to help out the cause, Ms Maclean said. If it wasn’t for AWAR committee member Lorainne Webb and ACR president Rae Smith who were the co-ordinators for the roster, it wouldn’t have been the success it was, she said.

Derelict house fire “It took 30 minutes to contain the fire but they had plenty of work to do after to make sure it was properly out.” The house was some distance away from other houses however, due to surrounding dry grass, half an acre was burnt. Mr Myers said it was a complex operation. “Fire-fighters need to do a 300-metre relay and cut in to the main water and run hoses from it to enable enough water to put it out. “With the difficulties that had to be undertaken, extra firetrucks were requested.” Police and fire investigators attended the scene the following morning to examine the cause of the blaze.

By MONIQUE KUZEFF A DERELICT house was engulfed in flames about 9pm last Tuesday night in West Wodonga, with embers and thick smoke seen stretching into the sky. The fire, which is being treated as suspicious, was detected quickly, with more than 30 phone calls being made to triple zero within a few minutes. West Wodonga and Wodonga fire brigades immediately responded to the fire reported on McKoy Street. Wodonga Fire Brigade station officer Brett Myers said there was a very thick black column of smoke coming from the area. “When they arrived the fire-fighters were confronted with a fully derelict house on fire,” Mr Myers said.

“We probably had about 12 people every day that were on the roster. “Some people did 10 shifts over the time and others did two shifts - it varied depending on the hours they put down to volunteer. “Foster carers, students, and volunteers who travelled from far distances including Corowa and Yarrawonga to help out did a fantastic job with wrapping,” she said. AWAR and ACR are two separate groups of volunteers who are dedicated to taking care of unwanted dogs and cats,

and share an aim to educate the community about responsible pet ownership. Ms Maclean encouraged the community to help out local animals and to avoid buying pets from farms. “We try to give the animals a second chance otherwise they might end up in the pound or on death day, but we are able to rescue them and offer them to families.” For further information visit www. awar.org.au and www.alburycatrescue. org or visit Facebook pages.

Quest for a carp solution By MONIQUE KUZEFF

Some 80 per cent of the biomass in the river system is Picture: Supplied by NSW DPI common carp. 149020 Albury Railway Station is set for a security upgrade. 148944

There have been multiple methods used to reduce the number of carp in the Murray-Darling Basin river system. 149020

a herpes virus known as CyHV3 could be used as a biocontrol agent that could achieve the goal. There is a continued debate as to whether or not the virus method should be utilised. Mr Barwick said at this stage and nearing completion, the research had affected only common carp. “They’ve tested all the other species including mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds and it is only seeming to work on carp,” he said.

By MONIQUE KUZEFF HIGH definition CCTV cameras and customer help points will be installed at Albury Railway as a part of a $2 million state-wide program to lift security at public transport locations across regional NSW. Over a year, 22 stations and coach stops in NSW will be upgraded with the installations and it is expected to commence imminently in the next few weeks. Member for Albury Greg Aplin said it would improve se-

curity across the important state railways network. “We want safety as a part of the service delivery at Albury station and people waiting late at night need to know they are safe and secure,” Mr Aplin said. “It is to ensure that at all times of the day there is coverage and that is the reason we are getting it in. “Security for the people and staff and it will provide monitoring for when there is no-one there.” The customer help points will operate 24/7 and when they

are utilised the operator will be able to see the situation and the customer. “This is great news for all who use Albury Railway Station, including passengers, family members, friends and railway staff, “Already we’ve seen over $400,000 worth of improvements here at Albury that included the resurfacing of Railway Place, linemarking, landscaping, construction of kerb and guttering, upgrades to foothpaths and parking,” Mr Aplin said.

as a kid he thought the local river was naturally muddy but learned that it was actually clear before carp were introduced. “Farmers and fishermen could spot cod sitting on a snag because of how clear the water once was.” Over seven years, the CSIRO has been doing research funded by the Invasive Animals-Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) on a virus that could reduce the number of common carp in Australian rivers. The research has shown that

COMMON carp have been stirring up mud in the Murray-Darling Basin river system - but not just in the water. These introduced European fish account for 80 per cent of the biomass in the MurrayDarling Basin - and fishermen, farmers and environmentalists are calling for action to reduce the species. Public fishing events, licensed harvesting, cages, exclusion screens, draining and drying, and stocking have been used to control the number of carp but since the effort to sustain them began the number has quadrupled. “We are rapidly losing the battle,” NSW Department in Primary Industries (DPI) senior of fisheries manager Matt Barwick said. Mr Barwick said carp caused significant environmental, social and economical damage. “They feed on native fingerlings, larvae and native plants and stir up sediment. “They alter their surroundings to suit themselves by making the water they are in more turbid which then blocks out the sunlight and native fish are affected by that.” Mr Barwick said it was important for people to cast their minds forward and consider what fisheries would look like if action were taken against carp. “We can expect to see recreational fisheries increasing in value and people enjoying their fishing experience even more,” he said. Having grown up in the Albury region, Mr Barwick said

Every little bit helps for sick kids

Million dollars for kids, families

By MONIQUE KUZEFF JANUARY is always recognised as the time for a fresh start, a time for a change and to follow through with that new year resolution. Local business owner/operator and accredited personal trainer Andy Slattery at PT Fitness says if he is going to achieve what he wants to achieve - this year is the year. “Sixteen is my number so this year I really wanted to do something to support those who are in need of it and that’s where Give me 5 for kids charity came in to mind,” Mr Slattery said. As the owner of a small independent business, Mr Slattery doesn’t have much to offer but he said the notion to help even by the smallest feat would still amount to something. I’ve always wanted to stand up and finally do something for those kids who are suffering and are in time of need,” he said. Mr Slattery said he wanted to donate to Give me 5 for kids because he was recently inspired through schools to promote healthy lifestyles and good nutrition for kids. “I’m looking to extend my values to the local community,” Mr Slattery said. “Lately I’ve been working with kids at schools and through boot camps so it’s really opened up another interest of mine and is something I’ve always wanted to do. “I want to hit two birds with one stone - metaphorically speaking - in the way that I can help the community get fit while we raise money to assist those kids in need.” Mr Slattery’s program Exercise Your Generosity was launched last Saturday 16th and will be an ongoing program held every fortnight commencing at 8am on a Saturday morning at his fitness studio. The cost is only a gold coin donation with 100 per cent of proceeds going to charity and the sessions will involve participation in an engaging, family friendly, high intensity group exercise session that will include body-weight exercises, box-

CLOSING DOWN SALE

VULNERABLE children, young people and families on the Border will receive further support after the announcement of $1,139,145 in funding that will go to service providers working with children and families. Member for Albury Greg Aplin has announced that the funding will be an extension fund to enable community services to continue to build programs through to mid-2017. “These service providers now know that the funding is there to be employed so they can establish programs including early intervention and protection, and reduce risks for those being harmed,” Mr Aplin said. The funding is a part of the NSW Government’s $233 million commitment to early intervention of families experiencing issues that put children at risk of harm or the likelihood of entering the child protection system.

Mr Aplin said that it was recognised that children were entering the justice system and the funding would assist families before they reached those crisis points. “It is important that the reach and impact of earlier intervention programs is maximised so families and communities have better outcomes,” Mr Aplin said. “Extending funding to mid2017 will provide certainty for our community partners that provide important services like case management, parenting programs and domestic violence support.” Service providers include Albury City Council, Albury Wodonga Youth Emergency Services Ltd, Woomera Aboriginal Corporation Albury and Intereach Limited. “These local service providers can react to local issues and that’s important and is vital on a community level.

Schools of minds By MONIQUE KUZEFF YOUTH on the Border are set to benefit after the Dramatic Minds Festival received $4000 from the Whites Rural Community Grant when it was selected as a successful applicant among 300 other applicants. The money will be used to expand the festival in 2016 with six schools already locked in to attend the event which runs between July and October. Youth mental health worker at Albury Community Mental Health Carolyn Enshaw said the committee was pleased to receive the grant which will ensure the expansion of the festival. “We want to involve schools from both New South Wales and Victoria,” Ms Enshaw said. “This year the money will help cover the cost of hiring the Hothouse Theatre and with stage management, organising meetings and getting schools to come and participate.” The Dramatic Minds Festival aims to engage young people in a creative way to explore issues associated with youth mental health. Ms Enshaw said it is an excellent way to reach young people with mental health issues. “If you look at both types of mediums we are using it’s a lovely way to explore the issues and in a safe environment,” she said. “The festival focuses on highlighting the cause and outcomes for parents and helps break down the stigma of mental illnesses through dram and visual art.” Ms Enshaw said information packages are sent out to schools to encourage them to participate in the festival.

In brief Teens charged with arson POLICE have arrested and charged two teenagers with arson after the pair set ablaze an abandoned house on McKoy Street, West Wodonga last Tuesday night. Other children on BMX bikes who were seen by a witness have been discharged. The offence was caused by a curtain that was set afire by the male and female but the motivation is at this point not found. The 17-year-old male and a 17-year-old female accused were bailed to Wodonga Children’s Court on 29 March.

provide feedback on the content of the plays. Ms Enshaw said the two components, drama and visual arts, that the festival focuses around are fun ways to engage the youth. “With he drama aspect the students research for a 10 minute play around a given issue. “And the visual arts components

adds another dynamic. We put a quote on a postcard and the students have to create a picture of what the quote represents to them on mental illness.” Ms Enshaw encourages schools to take a look at some of the personal interviews from the festival on YouTube - search Albury Wodonga Dramatic Minds Festival.

Ballet kids are en pointe By MONIQUE KUZEFF OVER the weekend Wodonga hosted regional Australia’s first ever major International Ballet Competition at the Wodonga Cube. With over 60 entrants and an audience that filled the room both days, the ballet challenge turned out a success. Three different age groups of children and teenagers competed and worked with one another while learning from guest adjudicator Mara Galeazzi (Royal Ballet, Prima Ballerina). The competition consisted of master classes and performances with Ms Galeazzi and $2000 in major prize money. The aspiring ballerinas got to take a master class with Ms Galeazzi and other teachers and they performed solos and big ensembles with a final performance on Sunday night. Winner for the Sub-Junior was Tiombe Davey with Bridget Stackpole as runner-up and the encouragement award went to Catherine D’Ornay. Winner for Junior was Kendal Harris with runner-up Lucy Angel and the encouragement award went to Indianna Drew. Winner for Senior was Lania Atkins with Isabelle Greenwood as runner-up and the encouragement award went to Sian Sherwood. Competition director Jennifer Podesta said there was a lot of positive feedback and the standard was excellent. “It was a fabulous competition for the first year,” Ms Podesta said. “We had a good turnout with the audience and they all enjoyed the Wodonga Cube facilities.” Ms Podesta said dance was a universal art and a highlight of the event for her was seeing so many people come together to learn and understand the language of dance. “It was wonderful seeing Ms Galeazzi teaching and the bright eyes of the little students watching her and taking everything in,” she said. Ms Podesta said she hoped to continue the Australasian Ballet Challenge in Wodonga next year. “It will be a real asset to Wodonga to have an event that’s in an international format and people have certainly said it’s a good time of the year to have it.”

IN light of another near head on motor collision, at the corner of North and Mate Streets in Albury, tonight at 10pm, I think it is time Albury Council made some change to the intersection, to stop this regular occurrence. This same collision, occurs probably 3 to 4 times per year, at the same spot under exactly the same circumstances, and ironically from the first opening of the Albury Bypass, on that first day, there was the first of this same reoccurring incident. Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drivers were both treated by ambulance, and it is just lucky to this date, that, as far as I know, no-one has died yet.

Prior to the Albury Freeway opening, I asked Albury Council whether a well designed roundabout would be an improvement for the North and Mate Street intersection, but was informed the Council would monitor traffic flow, etc, at that spot and see what happens. Without Albury Council adding to traffic â&#x20AC;&#x153;calmingâ&#x20AC;&#x153; and driver frustration, etc, by putting in more controlled turning lanes ... we are the City of Traffic Lights. Something has to be done to stop the regular mistakes being made by drivers at this spot, before someone is crippled or killed. Maybe the well designed fool-proof roundabout, could be the answer.

Season of the bushfires By MONIQUE KUZEFF THIS season there have been several bushfires that have posed serious threats to communities throughout north east Victoria including the Leneva and Barnawartha bushfires. But bushfires aren’t the only devastation that have occurred this summer, with recent deliberately lit fires engulfing a house and a supermarket in the span of two weeks. Let’s take a look back on past years and remember the consequences and effects that fires have had in the state. Fire has wiped out acres of the Australian landscape over past years and it’s not something that should be treated lightly. In previous years, destruction has been witnessed on a dumbfounding scale with many areas reaching catastrophic levels and fireys at beck and call anticipating the next emergency. Who could ever forget the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009 that ferociously wiped out animals, plants, properties and land across Victoria and caused the highest loss of life in Australia from a bushfire? What about Sam the Koala who was rescued in Victoria’s Mirboo North suffering second-degree burns to her paws?

Of course the list goes on. Stories like these speak of how serious an impact any type of fire can have on communities, individuals, animals and on the environment. A suspicious fire is one where there is intent to cause damage and it is not an accident. An investigation will be conducted and police notified. A reckless fire is one where a fire starts and (although it may be unintended) as a person has not followed reasonable precautions. An accidental fire is unintended, where a fire starts even though a person involved has taken reasonable steps to prevent it. Arson is a criminal offence that occurs where a fire has been deliberately lit with intent to cause damage or harm - this is determined by police. Commendation goes out to the brave fire crews and volunteers across Victoria who work inexhaustible during these dire weather conditions. If it weren’t for their hard work this state could be a lot worse off during the hot season. For more information visit www. cfa.vic.gov.au/ or in a fire emergency dial triple zero.

Chinese army has feet of clay CHINA. Today a worldwide superpower with a population of over 1.3 billion people. Yesterday one of the world’s greatest ancient empires and civilisations whose people had the skills and manpower to accomplish some amazing feats of architecture, engineering, and art. One of China’s premier tourist attractions is the Terracotta Army which was originally discovered by farmers digging a well in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province in 1974. Hundreds of terracotta statues were subsequently unearthed - one of the most sensational archaeological finds of all time. These warriors are believed to be the guard of the first Emperor Qin’s (/chin/ from who China takes its name) tomb and were made in 221 BC. Ancient Chinese traditions say that when a person dies, he simply continues his life beyond our world and it is better to take along your worldly possessions. It appears that Emperor Qin believed this tradition so much that he ordered a 35 square mile tomb. It’s believed the warriors were buried with him as a show of his glory; to remember the army that triumphed over the other warring states to unite China, and because it was believed that objects like statues can be animated in the afterlife - and Qin Shihuang required an after-death army. Today when you visit the site you see hundreds of life-size, vivid terracotta warriors in battle formation. The horsemen, the longbow bearers, the archers, and the senior officers and generals were positioned in a grand ancient army formation, in strict accordance with the ancient directives on the Art of War. Each figure differs in facial features and expression, clothing, hairstyle, and gestures and many of the figures originally held real weapons of the time, such as bronze swords, longbows, arrows, spears, dagger-axes, and other

Catch this wave of aliens The Fifth Wave (M) Starring: Chloe Grace Moretz, Liev Schreiber YOUNG adult fiction and film? Bah, humbug. This one’s just fine for the whole family - grumpy 46-yearold dads included. Spoiler alert - things do get a little Twilighty towards the end, but it’s tolerable. Based on the cracking book of the same name, Chloe Grace Moretz plays a North American high school teen whose life

is ripped apart when an alien mother ship arrives. First, the aliens knock out the power grid - the first wave. Next comes tsunamis - the second wave. Then a fatal bird-borne disease - the third wave. Followed by alien controlled human killers - the fourth wave. So what is the fifth wave? Well, Chloe as teen Cassie spends a lot of nail polish and angsty looks on finding out. To attune the film to both male and female teens, there’s

plenty of gunning and running for the boys, and a little heartthrob swooning for the girls. Green tentacles under wraps, there’s no reason these interstellar visitors can’t be hunky on the outside. Liev Schreiber also goes well as Colonel Vosch, the leader of the local human resistance ... or is he? Not as good as the book, not perfect, but still the best end of the world film going around right at the moment. - Jason Beck

Wrestlers plan rumble create the performance team of International Wrestling Australia are indeed entertainers but their strength and durability is far beyond that of your average actor or musician. At 250 pounds plus, these men (and women) take up to half an hour of being jumped on, thrown down, pushed over and kicked and still have the strength to pick each other up and then do it all again the following night. At any given IWA Pro Wrestling show you can expect to see a good mix of about 6-10 wrestlers, from small masked high flyers to giant super-heavyweights. There are women wrestlers, valet girls, tag teams and their managers, even the occasional midget match. IWA Pro Wrestling plots comical, often very funny storylines that are relevant to Australian audiences. It’s a different routine at every IWA Pro Wrestling show - new bouts, new plots, new gimmicks and new talent. There is always a lot of posing going on, lots of body oil and lycra to be seen. There are grand entrances, great music, the referees, the announcers and so much more - IWA Pro Wrestling is an amazing experi-

ence that must be seen live. The whole performance is audience interactive and so provides something extra for those who want a little more fun when they go and see a live show. The wrestlers are a mix of international and local performers they are all a great credit to IWA’s success. IWA pro wrestlers are welldefined and easy to follow characters, making it enjoyable for audience members to pick and choose favorites and easy to identify the baddies. “We offer a fantastic live action adventure show for all ages. “Perhaps the biggest difference between pro-wrestling and 'real’ sport is that pro-wrestling openly admits to glorifying characters and embellishing storylines,” promoter and wrestler Mark Mercedes said. “IWA Pro Wrestling has been Australia’s number one in sports entertainment for the past 11 years and is often referred by many venue managers as 'Australia’s hottest live touring act'. "IWA’s success has surprised many and really revived pro wrestling in Australia.”

Who’s who of rock royalty THE Red Hot Summer 2016 tour features the proverbial who’s who of Oz rock royalty; featuring Jimmy Barnes, Noiseworks, The Angels, Mark Seymour and The Undertow and The Badloves. Set to be the largest tour in the festival’s history, audiences can expect a day jam-packed with classic hits with dates running throughout Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania - including a big show on 24 January at Mulwala Water Ski Club. Red Hot Summer promoter Duane McDonald said the festival would be huge, with 15 shows booked. “We always receive requests from audiences in regional areas to bring the tour through their town,” he said. “This year we have expanded to take the RED HOT SUMMER TOUR to new areas and new

Jimmy Barnes.

venues, which makes it the biggest run we have done for the tour to date. We can’t wait to get out on the road in 2016.” Jimmy Barnes needs no introduction to Aussie audiences. As a legend both from his time fronting Cold Chisel and his top charting solo career, Barnes has toured the breadth of Australia. He has an enviable back catalogue that makes for incredible live performances with songs like Working Class Man, When Your Love Is Gone and No Second Prize to name a few. It has been a few years since Jimmy Barnes has headlined the Red Hot Summer Tour, so it is no surprise that his return is highly anticipated. The 2016 Red Hot Summer Tour gives rock fans a chance to see Jimmy Barnes at his best and enjoy classic hits which have made him an icon in the Australian music scene. Noiseworks are also Australian rock legends and are well reputed for their incredible live shows. They are adored by music fans and critics alike. The multi-ARIA nominated band features some of the best musicians in the country and have produced a swag of incredible songs, such as Take Me Back, Love Somebody, Touch, Freedom, Miles and Miles and In My Youth to name a few. The band sold in excess of 1.2 million albums with 15 hit singles before calling a break in the early 1990s. They are now back and they are rocking harder than ever and their upcoming performances on the Red Hot Summer Tour are guaranteed to blow the speakers! When it comes to great Aussie rock, it doesn’t come much better than The Angels. It’s been more than four decades since brothers Rick and John Brewster co-founded the iconic band and they have penned some of Australia’s most anthemic tracks.

G’DAY G’DAY CELEBRATE AUSTRALIA DAY WITH RODNEY VINCENT TUESDAY 26TH JANUARY 10.30AM LIVE AND FREE IN THE ZODIAC ROOM

The Badloves re-formed and ready to rock.

The Angels are widely reputed for their killer live shows. Fronted now by Dave Gleeson, The Angels have had a massive couple of years, not only celebrating their 40th anniversary, but also releasing an album of all-new material. With hits like Long Line, Marseille, Be With You, After the Rain, Shadow Boxer and Mr Damage to name a few. Audiences will be in for a treat when The Angels take to the stage. When it comes to one of the country’s most prolific songwriters, the name Mark Seymour is one of the first to pop to mind. Mark Seymour and the Undertow have been steadily touring the country promoting their latest release Mayday, demonstrating to audiences why this talented songsmith has endured such longevity in the Australian music scene. With a back catalogue of songs such as Throw Your Arms Around Me, Holy Grail, Football Train, Do You See What I See and When The River Runs Dry, to name a few, any time in the company of Mark and his band is a treat for all music lovers.

$15,000 CASH DRAW

The Badloves are an Australian institution. Established in Melbourne in the late 1980s, they have made an indelible imprint on the local scene, from their original compositions to their collaborations. Described as having a ‘neohippy, retro’ sound, they have an impressive back catalogue including the likes of Green Limousine, I Remember, Lost and Memphis to name a few. They’ve toured with icons of the Australian and international music scene, and are revered for their live shows. The band called it quits in 2010, only reforming in 2015 for a run of shows, making their inclusion on the 2016 line-up of the Red Hot Summer Tour a very special one indeed.

Five years of total change IT'S now been five years since the decision to return to the retail world of specialist music retailing. Five years ago, turntables only sold to the few that understood the better sound, wireless audio was only Sonos and frightfully expensive. Blu-ray players were threatening to be the new generation CD players and everything had to be multi-channel. We look forward to 2016 in two very different fields - the wireless products are all around us, from the very ordinary to the audiophile performance and many brands are represented. Surround sound systems are reinventing the offering to attract more speakers into the room for a greater coverage of the surround sound movie effect. Dolby Atmos will be the buzzword for the dedicated cinema person this year, along with 4K projectors and a new 4K disc format. Quietly the stereo market also has regained a large part of the share it once had due to the proliferation of music streaming, particularly from Pandora and Spotify.

The soundbar market began replacing the economy theatre systems and this year the more serious bars in the market place will erode the popular stereo shelf systems to the $1000 mark due to the rapid improvement from some of the more recognised audio brands, and the broad acceptance of music streaming. This plays conveniently into the minimalist look many households strive for, while wishing to retain access to the new software technology. The stereo market also enjoys the revolution of the rediscovery of LP records (vinyl as it is now called). Initially driven by the baby boomers accessing the sound they could never afford when they were younger, a little like the Harley and the Mustang, this offering is now meeting with a much broader appeal. HiFi sound is now one of the most competitive market places in the electronics industry. With televisions it is usually the top five brands plus the generic label a store would exclusively sell. The stereo market has over 200 brands competing for your

dollar in a marketplace considered a niche market just five years ago. The year 2016 for this category will bring out the highly geared marketing brands and equity type companies to cash in on the rediscovery of high grade music. As we now see in the sound bar and budget wireless categories, many products have principally the shareholders' stake as the primary concern. But 2016 will see this type of product enter the stereo market blurring the lines between the well-engineered products designed for the user to the brands to maximise the profits for the head office. If the 2015 Christmas period taught us anything, the most highly marketed product also dominated the cash registers. In 2015 the penny has finally dropped that quality stereo music systems will work well for home video use; home theatre systems in the popular price market have a very limited stereo audio capability. 2016 will be an exciting year for the quality music and cinema lover alike.

Weekly Real Estate Albury Wodonga’s Property Guide

Median days of our lives

Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

THE median number of days a home takes to sell is a key property market indicator, especially in regional Victoria where the majority of homes are sold by private sale. While December is traditionally one of the quietest periods for real estate, several regional towns have recorded significant declines in median days on market. Any decline in days on market is a positive sign, signalling strong private sales activity. Unlike auctions, which have limited marketing campaigns, private sales allow buyers a longer negotiation period. Buyers are also able to change their mind in a

private sale with a three day ‘cooling off’ period applicable. In December some of the strongest sales activity was seen in the border town of Echuca, where the median number of days on market dropped 15 days - or 23 per cent - over November figures to 63 days. Other regional towns recording significant declines in median days on market were Sale and the Bendigo suburb of Golden Square, both down 13 days in December to 78 and 57 days respectively. Homes in the coastal town of Anglesea

also sold faster in December with the median number of days on market falling 12.5 days to a median of 70.5 days. The Bellarine Peninsula town of Drysdale was also popular with buyers in December, down nine days to a median of 67 days on market. The median number of days it took to sell a home in Morwell, located east of Melbourne, also fell nine days over the month to a median of 85 days on market. Declines were also recorded in Geelong West, down eight days to 36 days; Ballarat East, down 7.5 days to a median of 63.5

days; and Lake Wendouree, down seven days to 43 days on market. Meanwhile, homes in the Geelong suburbs of Hamlyn Heights and Waurn Ponds sold the fastest in December with a median of 33 days on market. Homes in the nearby town of Jan Juc were also popular with buyers, with a median of just 34 days on market. Other towns selling faster than their city counterparts in December were Mildura (34 days), Soldiers Hill (34 days), Geelong West (36 days) and Red Cliffs near Mildura (37 days).

Ideal family home WITH a large undercover barbecue area, and three adjoining open-plan living areas, this four bedroom home has space for plenty of guests and a large family. Year-round comfort is provided by ducted heating and cooling, and the galley kitchen includes a pantry and dishwasher. The master bedroom includes an ensuite, walk-in-robe and ceiling fan, while the other bedrooms all have built-in robes and a ceiling fan. The double garage has back and side access doors, a back roller door, and an adjacent cara-

van space that provides vehicle access to the large backyard, which has a watering system, and large garden shed. Investors can have a walk-up start with the house currently leased at $340 per week, which could be increased. Alternatively, an owner-occupier could move in with the appropriate notice. This ideal family home is in a quiet area within easy reach of schools, shops, TAFE, Latrobe Uni, parks, walking tracks, bus stops, and Wodonga golf course.

Classifieds deadlines for Wednesday 27th January issue of the Albury Wodonga NewsWeekly are as follows:

APA VTS Australia (Operations) Pty. Ltd. (a division of APA Group) is proposing to loop (or duplicate) sections of the existing Wollert to Wodonga West gas transmission pipeline by installing a new 400mm diameter underground pipeline parallel and close to the existing pipeline within its existing 35m wide easement. These works are being proposed so as to increase the capacity of the northern Victoria and New South Wales gas pipeline networks. Sections of the Chiltern – Mt. Pilot National Park in the immediate vicinity of the works will be closed during pipeline construction for public safety. The works within the National Park are proposed to commence in early February 2016 and anticipated to be completed by April 2016. Some minor reinstatement activities may follow this construction period. APA will work closely with Parks Victoria to ensure that any disturbed areas are fully reinstated once construction is completed. During the construction period there will also be increased movements of large and oversized vehicles on some roads in the Chiltern area, particularly on the Chiltern-Howlong Road and the Chiltern-Barnawartha Road. APA and its construction contractor will implement trafﬁc management plans to minimise any disruption to local trafﬁc while the works are in progress. We appreciate your cooperation as we work to ensure the continued safe and effective delivery of natural gas services to Victoria and beyond. Should you require further information regarding the project, please contact James Beckett, Project Access and Approvals Manager on (03) 9797 5375.

While complete teams ride most of those events, the road nationals are unique. Limited just to Australian riders, some of the strongest European based pros have few if any team-mates and plenty of Australian based teams are keen to score the big upset. The nationals were run in Ballarat from 7-10 January, with the border region well represented across all events. The men’s road race concluded the competition with an epic 183.6 km covering 18 laps of the Buninyong circuit, resulting in a solo win to Trek pro tour rider team rider Jack Bobridge. Of the 158 starters, only 15 finished, on a hot, windy day, that saw multiple riders come to a halt with cramps and seasoned pro tour cyclists crack as the ascents of Mt Buninyong accumulated and the tempo accelerated. Albury’s 2015 bronze medallist, Neil Van Der Ploeg lined up for his Avanti Isowhey sports team. His goals, to either go two better than 2015 or ensure a team result, were hampered following a spectacular high-speed crash during the criterium championships on the Wednesday. On the criterium’s final lap he was holding the coveted wheel of eventual winner Caleb Ewan, only for a Drapac rider to swing wildly across the road and take out his front wheel with 400m to go. While he couldn’t complete the leadout, his team-mate sprinted to a bronze medal. In the road race, Neil patiently rode in the bunch as it was slowly whittled down and some team-mates forced the early break in what he described as ‘a very, very hard race’. Fellow Albury rider Tim Guy, was on Domestique duties and he kept his riders out of the wind. With heat, wind, a relentless pace up the mountain and Richie Porte and Drapac riders launching attacks, the bunch dropped to 25 riders and Tim Guy, then Neil Van Der Ploeg were tailed off. The unluckiest rider was Jess Featonby. After solid preparation and riding without a team, he crashed out on lap nine after another Drapac rider fell in front of him. “I was getting more and more confident in the bunch and with my positioning. I was sitting in the first half, when Travis Meyer clipped a wheel in front and I had nowhere to go and went straight over the top and hit my head.’ With a cracked helmet and major disappointment, Jess was unable to continue. The best result from a local rider on the day went to Beechworth’s Matt Clarke who rode smartly to manage 10th place, mixed in with a group of protour and top domestic racers. In the women’s race, Maddie Wright and Kirsty Deacon both made their road nationals debut. Maddie entered ‘with the goal of staying with the bunch for three laps’. From lap six the pressure started building and pace increased and she only lost contact on the penultimate lap. Maddie enjoyed the experience and encouraged other women to have a go. ‘Finishing at the nationals is proof that anyone can do it and I’d love to see other women competing.
