HE GREW up in a Bhutanese refugee camp in Nepal but now Lavington man Ram Khanal is on his way to achieving his dream of becoming a doctor.

Ram spent the first 16 years of his life in a Bhutanese refugee camp, before his parents received a humanitarian resettlement offer from the Australian Government.

Now just five years later he is one of 13 Riverina students among 52 recipients to be awarded a Rural Scholarship from the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) Foundation.

The 21-year-old has long held the dream of becoming a doctor - a dream that was born through his 16 years of refugee life.

Through dedication and hard work, Ram is currently in his third year of medical science at the Australian National University. He has a strong desire to work as a rural doctor in the Albury-Wodonga region The other Riverina students include Timothy Bear, Michelle Emmett (Young), Sally Beer, Elizabeth Kingston (Denil-

iquin), Ainslie Campbell (Henty) Stephanie Clark (Ardlethan), Charles Coles (Boorowa), John Coombs, Jessica Dawson (Wagga Wagga), Ellen John, Katherine Pryor (Griffith), Ram Khanal (Albury) and Brooke Walsh (Grong Grong).

RAS Foundation Rural Scholarships offer $5,000 towards full-time study and $2,500 for part-time study to assist students from rural areas to pursue their education dreams and who in turn are motivated to help build strong and vibrant communities.

The scholarships support a diverse range of education and training pursuits and are designed to ease the financial burden of higher education and encourage students who want to make a contribution to rural NSW. Ram, whose parents had already been in the Nepalese camp for two years when he was born, is three years into a medical science course at the Australian National University in Canberra. “I graduate at the end of this year,� he said. “My aim is to do a post grad-

Here’s cheers

Thumbs Up Thumbs Down Thumbs up

Thumbs Down

TO teachers. School holidays make me appreciate them even more. A huge shout out to the amazing teachers from Wodonga Middle Years Huon Campus who have gone out of their way to help my son who has additional needs. Also another shout out to the amazing teachers at Baranduda Primary School who have had a really hard 12 months but have still been an inspiration to my kids.

IT should be law that people use their headlights - going down Wilson Street around 5pm the other week and there was a white 4x4 driving down with no lights and he was near impossible to see also three or four cars with no lights on its so dangerous and so hard to see, people who have a licence should know better!

Thumbs Up

Thumbs Down

WITH the snow for ski season.

TO Wodonga Council - once again they issue a planning application for a development (78-lot subdivision, Wodonga-Yackandandah Rd, Baranduda) right before school holidays and not only show the wrong closing date on the website but then amend the date to finish in the school holidays, when many people are away. This is AFTER the residents have had many, many meetings with promises from council they will be more proactive with these issues and work with the community. MASSIVE thumbs down!

By TANIA PHILLIPS A GROUP of cheerleaders from the Albury/Wodonga area has taken a national championship by storm.

The Hume Dance Schools’ Cheerleading Squad - HDS STORM took out a number of sections last weekend at the Australian All Star Cheerleading Federations’s Winterfest Cheer and Dance Championships in Brisbane, said school principal Chantelle Hutchins.

“They won the Senior Open Pom Championships, Pom duo and Group Stunt level two,” she said.

“They also came third in the Pom overall point score for grand champion - the third best team in the whole competition.

“Considering this was the girls’ first cheerleading competition, we couldn’t have asked for better results. They also received a no points deductions in their group cheer! - The perfect storm!”

Champions at their first competition.

She said the results were a great reward for a lot of very hard work.

“These outstanding cheer leaders have been in training for four and a half months and have also performed at the Bandits’ home games for practice,” she said.

“The girls have gone to a huge effort fund-raising to get themselves there, holding several barbecues and raffles to raise money. They were also performing at Dreamworld during their stay.

“So proud of their amazing results.”

SES top of the tree

By TANIA PHILLIPS

David Leavatt-Brown discusses the guide.

Injection for jabs A PLAN to boost adolescent immunisation was launched in Albury late last week.

The new scheme, a partnership between Hume Medicare Local and the Department of Health Victoria, includes a comprehensive resource guide to help boost local adolescent immunisation rates.

The guide, launched at Hume Medicare Local in Albury, aims to help schools, local government and youth services in the delivery and promotion of the secondary school immunisation program which involves protection again chickenpox, human papillomavirus (HPV), diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough.

Hume Medicare Local Director of Primary Health Services Jacki Eckert said adolescent immunisation could get forgotten because it didn’t receive as much attention as childhood immunisation.

“The rates for childhood immunisation in the Hume Medicare Local area are very high - in some age groups the highest in the country,” she said.

“Unfortunately we don’t see the same uptake in adolescent immunisation, with the latest statistics showing only 66 per cent of 15-year-old girls had received the HPV vaccine - that’s four per cent below the national average.”

The guide provides practical advice and relevant resources with the hope that greater consistency will be achieved in the delivery of the programs in high schools across the local area.

SIX SES volunteers were kept busy on Sunday after a large tree fell partially on a house at North Albury on Saturday night.

Albury SES Public Information Officer Tim Keown said however that despite the weekend’s wild weather, this was the only call-out.

“We had constant wind over the weekend with some strong gusts the combination of rain, wet ground and wind brought down this particular tree,” he said.

“We had a team of six volunteers take in excess of six hours to complete this job, which was complicated by branches still over the top

of the house that could cause further damage.

“This was the only call-out Albury SES received over the weekend, however the rain and wind earlier last week resulted in five smaller callouts.

He said the group did some “small tasks on the job on Saturday night” but for safety reasons came back on the Sunday to complete the task.

Despite the busy Sunday Tim said the group had been pretty quiet of late.

“Very quiet for Albury SES, which is good for the community,” he said.

The SES volunteers attend to tree damage on Sunday.

Nominations for the 2014 Victorian Premier’s Volunteer Awards are now open. These awards present an opportunity to recognise, thank and celebrate the signiicant contribution of Victoria’s volunteers. The awards recognise those people who give their time to enhance the lives of Victorians. In addition to recognition, winners of the awards will receive a donation for their chosen charity.

Albury Wodonga Property Agent Dean Lupson says “even minor disputes between siblings and relatives can chew up tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs.

The result is normally a broken family and MUCH less of the sale proceeds going to the intended beneciaries.

It’s no way to honour a loved one’s memory” says Dean.

“I remember one recent case where an elder brother of two sisters took control over the sale of their deceased parent’s home and a neighbouring block of land, and refused a combined offer that ended up costing his two sisters $45,000. Sadly, those siblings are no longer on speaking terms Too often brothers and sisters go to war citing reasons of greed, dishonesty or incompetence that and the once happy family is all costs others over the sale of a parent’s home. but broken.” Albury Solicitor, Mike Eden adds that this type of situation can be easily avoided simply by getting an independent valuation before seeking the services of an experienced Property Agent. He stresses the importance of hiring a Property Agent who can offer a strong process in dealing with these kinds of cases where there’s a chance a family could come to loggerheads over any number of issues related to the sale of a loved one’s property. “For many siblings it seems like a pretty straightforward thing to manage, but the cost of something going wrong (causing a family breakup) is too heavy a price to pay” he says…

“I am thrilled that Mr McGee is about to embark on the company’s biggest-ever national tour. I am not surprised that long after its conception this enduring work continues to delight audiences and I can guarantee its popularity will continue to soar with the work touring regularly in years to come,” he said.

Over the past decade Patch Theatre Company has presented nine of its repertoire productions, in more than 27 international seasons, to children’s festivals and venues in the US, Canada, Singapore, Korea, Ja-

pan and New Zealand. Patch also has delivered 10 national Playing Australia tours and has presented eight seasons at the Sydney Opera House and nine seasons at Arts Centre Victoria.

Mr McGee and the Biting Flea is a performance of six whimsical Pamela Allen stories woven together.

Using an assortment of props and found objects, the three performers bring the stories to sweet, music-infused life while offering powerful connections to the inner lives of children.

This wonderful production featured adaptations of Pamela Allen’s much-loved stories: Mr McGee, Alexander’s Outing, Belinda, Brown Bread and Honey, Mary Elizabeth’s House and Mr McGee and the Biting Flea.

The school buildings have now been finished and will be ready for use on the first day of next term.

Inside the new Wodonga Senior Secondary College.

School in on the move

By TANIA PHILLIPS SOME 1003 Year 10 to Year 12 Wodonga Senior Secondary College students will return to school after the holidays, but it won’t be the same one they left.

Construction of the new $11.8 million state-of-the-art building at the Wodonga Senior Secondary College has been finished, and the big move is on.

Principal Vern Hilditch said it was an exciting time for the school which celebrates its 60th year, opening its doors as Wodonga Secondary School

in 1954 and the 50 years since the completion of the old building and becoming a senior college.

“The most exciting thing about this is the students left for the holidays and will come back to a completely new school,” Mr Hilditch said.

“It is a complete redevelopment to make a purpose-built senior secondary college.”

Many students spent their final day of school before the holidays helping to move some desks and chairs into the school’s Trade Training Centre to be refurbished before moving into the new building.

The new building contains 28 teaching spaces/learning studios, purpose built for science, maths, English, humanities, LOTE (Language other than English), Indonesian, Japanese and Chinese, information technology and multimedia.

The new facilities also include an expansive library/resource centre with three computer and multi-media rooms, a 200-seat lecture theatre with state-of-the-art audio and visual technology, staff rooms and administration.

There is also a Year 12 study space with kitchen and student amenities.

Designed by Norris Architects, the

building was project managed by Bryant Alsop and constructed by Hansen Yuncken Pty Ltd with construction starting on site on 7 March 2013.

Mr Hilditch said the original timber-framed building - which will be bulldozed later this year - was originally meant to have a lifespan of 30 years but many had lasted more than 50.

“The new building is steel and concrete and it will last a lot longer,” he laughed.

“There are columns everywhere.”

He said students and staff were taken through the new building last week to explain the features and introduce

Visit MYER CENTREPOINT during the school holidays to see Old Kentucky Animal Farm Monday 30th June to Saturday 5th July, 10am to 3pm, opposite Hudsons

1141310-CB26-14

them to their new surroundings.

He said the next week would be spent moving over equipment to prepare for the re-opening of the school after the holidays.

The students will then return to their new-look school on Tuesday, 15 July.The building is expected to be officially opened in August. The former building will make way for sporting facilities.

A school reunion has also been organised on 30 August to commemorate the move and farewell the old building which has been home to students for 50 years.

As I get older I want to have choice and control

Letters

Albury Wodonga

Some help THE weekly violation of women’s medical privacy accessing the Englehardt Street Fertility Control Clinic is still occurring, led by a tiny number of people.

They fail to understand that they are not “helping” anyone, but in fact are doing incredible emotional harm by intimidating and harassing vulnerable women at a critical time of their lives.

These women are attending a legal medical clinic for a legal medical procedure, despite the claims of the protesters to excuse their appalling behaviour to other human beings. There have been several more complaints from women who have been traumatised by the protesters; this cannot be tolerated by our community.

The Rights to Privacy, Albury has determined to step up its campaign to legally exclude the protesters, by launching a NSW statewide petition, boosted by Change.org, to reach as many people as possible. Mr Greg Aplin, Member of Albury has kindly agreed to present this petition to parliament on our behalf, to force debate to legislate an “Exclusion Zone” around the entrance of any women’s health clinic in NSW. This “Exclusion Zone” has been highly successful in Tasmania, protecting women’s privacy and dignity when attending a clinic in Hobart, but still allowing lawful protest and freedom of speech; it just removes the protesters’ ability to harass or violate another person’s rights to privacy.

So if you’re getting older and need help, or if you’re caring for someone who does, call My Aged Care or visit the website to find out what you need to know to start planning and talking about aged care with your family and loved ones.

Because the sooner we all start talking about aged care and planning it, the beter the outcome for you and your family.

LAST Monday (16 June), I attended the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) Roadshow to raise awareness of prostate cancer at the Commercial Club in Albury.

A lady in the audience asked both the expert keynote speakers (a urologist and a radiologist) and the PCFA representatives why men were not/ are not being screened for prostate cancer. She highlighted that every two years she received a reminder in the mail for her to go and have a mammogram done and to have a pap smear test.

She also highlighted the alarmingly high statistics of deaths from prostate cancer and the high incidence of the disease in men generally, especially those in rural areas, as mentioned by the keynote speakers.

Her question was and is why is prostate cancer screening not done when men within certain age perameters present at their GP for an annual health check-up?

The keynote speakers very clearly stated that GPs (general practitioners) are NOT to do this screening by a general practice guideline (eighth edition) from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Even if the patient asks for the testing (a PSA blood test and a physical examination), the GP is “instructed” to argue against providing the testing to the point where he/she can refuse to do it.

The PCFA representatives present were also asked for their (the PCFA’s) position on this - unbelievably, they said they would leave that to be sorted out by the medical professionals. It really beggars belief that an organisation which is supposed to be raising a public awareness of prostate cancer is not/does not take an active role in having this situation remedied. That then raises the question, what does the PCFA really stand for?

Skills for the workplace TOO often students complain that when they complete their chosen qualification they can’t secure a job.

At Albury Wodonga Community College (AWCC), all courses are designed to facilitate a quick transition into the workplace by giving students skills and knowledge directly required for their profession.

In fact, most students who go on placement actually find work within the business they’re placed – like Hayley Lyon who just completed a Cert III in Aged Care and Home and Community Care.

“I had a very positive placement experience with a resident.” she said.

“The resident was very reserved and did not interact with most staff unless they had to.

“One day on placement, I did the usual obs, and I got talking to this resident about their past.

“We ended up having a lovely chat and the resident told me the reason why they didn’t like to interact with staff. It wasn’t because they didn’t like them or didn’t want to, it’s just that they couldn’t understand some of them.

“The resident felt like they wanted to talk to them but didn’t want to get anyone into trouble or upset anybody by saying anything.”

Hayley thanked the resident for trusting her and told the resident they had every right to say if they can’t understand someone, express themsleves or needing more support.

Hayley advocated for this resident by taking their concerns to the Manager and discussed some possible outcomes.

“The staff are now taking more time to ensure the resident understands what they’re saying and as a result the resident has become much more social. The resident also gave me some flowers from their garden.

“I’ve really enjoyed my study at the college.

The course and the tutors have given me so much more than I thought I would get.

“My confidence in theory and also my ability to practice that in the workplace has been brilliant and allowed me to get a job.”

Hayley now works for the aged care service she did her placement in.

“This is a terrific example of the experience and connection aged care workers have every day,” AWCC general manager Anna Speedie said.

By supporting students in class and out on work placement the AWCC community service team endevour to best prepare students to gain employment.

“As a result, a really high percentage of all of our students who go out on placement gain some form of employment, whether it be casual or contracted work.

“That is a fantastic outcome. People do our community service courses to gain employment and when you see the outcomes and the results of our students, it is very rewarding.

“Ensuring we have courses that are relevant and meets the needs of industry is what we continually strive to achieve.”

The place to get kitted out Comfort for eight hours COMPLETE any story with the collection of homewares, bed linen and furniture from Design House Interiors.

Housed within the Aggenbach Floors Complex at 20 Tone Road, Wangaratta, Design House Interiors showcases a comprehensive list of much-loved brands; Linen House, Kas Australia, Mozi and Aura by Tracie Ellis.

Interior decorator/designer Marian Winter worked to create something different in the area, when she opened the store in May of 2012.

Design House Interiors has introduced a broad range of style trends and colours to build a look which can be tailored to you and your existing pieces.

Ms Winter encourages anyone to bring along paint samples, fabric swatches or photos to assemble a silhouette of your current style and colour palette. She said she loves to witness the cycle of trends and introduce them to the region.

In addition to individually selecting the Design House Interiors collection and assisting customers in-store, Marian can arrange an interior design and decoration consultation for your local business or residence.

“Having the mix of retail work and design consultations creates a perfect balance for me,” Marian said.

“Working with a multitude of styles and design briefs means there is always an interesting design challenge up ahead.”

DHI is also mindful of the overall

Marian Winter of Design House Interiors. atmosphere and what is important to make shopping a relaxing and rewarding experience. With a large playpen and fun play area for children; mums can wander through the extensive range from Bayside Furniture, Comfort Sleep and Globe West.

It’s the location that has translated to more accessibility throughout the showroom and a highly diverse assortment of quilts and pillows, cushions and throw

rugs, quilt covers and sheets through to vases and ornaments and tablecloths and napkins.

Design House Interiors opening hours are 9am-5:30pm Monday-Friday and 9am-1pm Saturday.

WHEN you spend around eight hours a night in bed, you need a mattress to be of high quality and chosen with the help of expert knowledge.

At Lawrences Furniture One/ Sleep Lab you can expect this and much more.

Owner John Lawrence has 30 years of specialist knowledge in the bedding and furniture industry and stocks a large range of Australian-made products - unique in style and quality, built at extremely competitive prices.

“We’re family-owned and local,” John said. “I’ve been in the bedding and furniture industry for a long period of time. I started off in retail bedding and I have worked for Sealy Posturepedic, Sleepmaker and Simmons - three of the top four bedding manufacturers in Australia.

“We’re not part of a major franchise, we’re part of a regional buying co-operative that’s very well established, having been around for 50 years.

“The majority of our business comes from people who know us and who’ve dealt with us before in our previous business. They come

in, they look and say our furniture is beautiful, well priced and affordable.”

Lawrences Furniture One/Sleep Lab is unlike franchise stores who are told what to buy and where to buy from. When it comes time to purchase stock, John will personally hunt around local suppliers in a bid to buy products that are of high quality, different in design and Australian made where possible.

“When I buy stock I look at the quality of the finished product,” John said. “I’ve been to most of the factories I deal with. Around 50 percent of what we sell is Australian made.

“We’re still trying to wave the Aussie flag. We try hard to sell all Australian made mattresses - all of ours are made in Melbourne.”

Currently John has a wide range - 20 bedroom suites and 26 ensembles - on show in various sizes, with adjustable beds on offer as well.

“We don’t sell cheap beds, we sell good quality beds cheap,” he said.

Looking out for pensioners THE NSW Government has protected concessions for seniors and pensioners, and seniors will not bear the brunt of harsh cuts to concessions by the Federal Government.

“With 16,896 seniors over 60 in the electorate, I understand the cost of living pressures they face,” Member for Albury Greg Aplin said.

“As part of the NSW Government, I am determined to ensure seniors are not adversely affected by the Federal Government’s cuts.

“The NSW Government will contribute an additional $107 million in the State Budget towards concessions for 2014-’15, which will go towards discounted public

transport fares, cheaper energy and water bills, council rates and vehicle registration.”

NSW Treasurer, Andrew Constance MP said that a national partnership agreement was axed without consultation in the Federal Budget, resulting in $450 million over four years being withdrawn for pensioner and senior concessions from 1 July this year.

“I can confirm today this year’s NSW Budget will not burden those on fixed incomes with an increase to the cost of living,” Mr Constance said. “We are not in the business of creating bill shock, where in just a few weeks’ time, people would have

been left out of pocket courtesy of Canberra.”

Minister for Ageing John Ajaka said the NSW Government remained strongly opposed to the Commonwealth’s termination of the concession agreement, which had been in place since 1993. ”We will continue to fight Canberra’s cuts, and are calling on Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey to reinstate this modest contribution which goes a long way to help our pensioners and seniors,” Mr Ajaka said.

“We will maintain negotiations with the Commonwealth, to ensure fair concessions are secured well into the future.”

Albury MP Greg Aplin.

Seniors want prudence – and the lobbying’s on THE seniors lobby has written to Australia’s big four banks urging them to show leadership and publicly denounce the Coalition Government’s attempts to water down financial advice consumer protections.

The letters to Ian Narev (CBA), Gail Kelly (Westpac) Cameron Clyne (NAB) and Michael Smith (ANZ) follow the release last week of a damning Senate Economics Reference Committee report into corporate watchdog ASIC and rogue Commonwealth Bank advisers who defrauded clients to the tune of millions.

The report, which has prompted

calls for a royal commission, coincides with the winding back of investor protections introduced in the past two years under the Future of Financial Advice (FoFA) reforms.

The government is determined to push ahead with the amendments, despite strong consumer opposition to them.

In his letter, National Seniors chief executive, Michael O’Neill, says that with trust in the financial sector at an all-time low, the banks should take the lead and reject the FOFA changes.

“The level of consumer confidence in the financial advice sector is at a very low point and diminish-

ing daily. No amount of ‘spin and gloss’ by sectorial interests can alter that underlying fact,” he wrote.

“The Senate Economics Reference Committee’s considerations of the Commonwealth Bank Financial Planning division and the associated review of ASIC’s effectiveness as regulator, will cause a further deterioration in the confidence that ordinary Australians have in the sector.

“It is apparent that the major driver for the reforms has been the financial services industry and, in particular, major banks and AMP which collectively control more than 80 per cent of the advice sector.

“National Seniors has and continues to oppose the proposed changes because independent legal analysis concludes they provide for substantial consumer detriment.

“We are at a watershed moment which challenges the approach of your and each of the other major banks”.

“Business leadership needs to … stand by its corporate social responsibility claims and the obligations it has to the broader Australian community, particularly those who may engage with financial service providers,” he urges.

New facility shines RESIDENTS and staff of Albury and District Private Nursing Home are excited to have moved into the newly completed facility located at 636 Logan Road.

Local residents will have seen the construction growing steadily over the past year, and with completion this month, the residents and staff have now been relocated from the original facility in David St, Albury.

The dedicated staff at Albury and District have provided compassionate care to local residents for over 30 years and will continue to provide the highest possible person-centred care for the residents in the wonderful new premises.

The new contemporary aged care residence now offers an additional 30 places in beautifully appointed accommodation, with private ensuites and quality fittings and furnishings.

Now a 90-place facility, Albury and District features a safer care unit; a theatre with loop hearing technology, and are putting final touches on an outdoor physical therapy centre.

Residents can also enjoy the private function and dining rooms, chapel, and outdoor courtyard gardens.

Current residents of Albury and District are loving the new accommodation, with the peace of mind that they have retained the same friendly care staff.

A SURVEY into the meaning of legacy has revealed it’s what you do while you’re alive, not what you give away when you die, that’s most important to Victorians.

Creating a legacy in life is important to 54 per cent of Victorians yet more than 60 per cent have not thought about what their legacy will be when they die.

State Trustees commissioned the survey as part of the annual I Will Week campaign, a week dedicated to encouraging all Victorians to think about what they want to be remembered for and what they will be leaving behind.

This year I Will Week, which runs from 30 June to 6 July, is asking all Victorians to think about their legacy, large

Cooking in July Hearty Potato, Bacon and Onion Soup 4 bacon rashers, chopped 30g butter 3 medium onions, sliced 2 Tbsp plain flour 1 Ltr water 1 large vegetable stock cube 4 medium potatoes, chopped 2 eggs yolks 300g carton sour cream 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley -ETHOD Recipe can be made a day ahead. Not suitable to freeze or microwave.

Cook bacon in large pan

until lightly browned, add butter and onions, and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes or until onions are soft. Add flour, stirring for 1 min. Remove from heat and gradually add water, crumbled stock cube and potatoes. Simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.

Gradually stir in combined egg yolks and sour cream, reheat without boiling. Stir in parsley just before serving.

or small, and commit to actioning their personal legacy over the week and sharing it with their family, friends and loved ones.

A sentimental legacy is an idea that resonates with many of us, with 40 per cent of respondents identifying the passing down of a family tradition as more important and meaningful than providing a monetary inheritance or donation (10 per cent).

Journals, personal memoirs and collections of photographs are among the most common legacies people are already curating as part of their living legacy. Other unique legacies include a collection of family recipes to be passed down to their children, or a prized record collection.

Just as it is vital to ensure your assets are protected should anything happen to you, it is also important to start building your legacy in life, while you have the freedom to do so. State Trustees encourages all Victorians to live their legacy now as well as thinking about how they might protect that legacy and their loved ones more formally with a Will.

I Will Week runs from Monday 30 June to Sunday 6 July.

Visit www.iwillweek.com.au or the I Will Week Facebook page for inspiration on how to create, share and live your legacy. Legacies pledged on the website also have the chance to win one of three $1000 cash prizes to help people live their legacy.

Budget aged care boost 1142931-EG27-14

THE Coalition Government has given aged care providers in Indi a funding boost in the Federal Budget.

“Providers in Indi receiving the viability supplement will benefit from a 20 per cent increase to the supplement in recognition of the unique challenges they face operating in a regional, rural or remote loca-

tion,” Social Services Assistant Minister and Victorian senator Mitch Fifield said.

“This measure is worth $54 million and will help these providers to continue to provide quality care to older residents who don’t live in metropolitan areas.

“The viability supplement is

particularly targeted at smaller providers who face additional challenges to larger facilities,” Senator Fifield said.

Senator Fifield said the boost for regional and rural providers was part of a wider funding increase for all providers in the Budget.

Lifestyle of their dreams

By KRYSTEN MANUEL RON and Evelyn Crase are proud to say their home is Riverwood Retirement Village.

Ron was 61 years old and Evelyn just 57 when they moved to Riverwood 23 years ago.

Having moved in so early, the pair has experienced Riverwood to its full capacity and adamantly urge others looking at retirement villages not to leave it too late.

“So many people do leave it too late and when they move in they can’t do anything,” Ron said.

“Before this we had a big house. You’d go out the back and have to climb up steps to get to the clothesline.

“Right down the middle of the house was a passageway - we could be home all day and not see each other. It was just too big. It was three bedrooms, two bathrooms, all the kids had grown up and left us.

“When we decided to move here there were only a few units. This area was just a vacant block.

“Within 12 months we were in. We never regretted it.”

As soon as they’d unpacked, Ron and Evelyn made themselves known to the community, making friends, heading up committees and organising activities.

“As soon as we moved in, we joined in,” Evelyn said. “We made sure we were going to be a part of the family.

“If we weren’t working on one thing we were working on something else. We’ve been presidents and secretaries, on catering committees and all that jazz. We’ve kept ourselves busy and occupied.

“Currently I’m secretary of the owners corporation and vice-president of the residents association. It helps me to know what’s going on in the village.”

Ron is also a keen member of Riverwood’s social scene.

“The social life here is good too,” he said.

“You don’t have to join in, but you can join in.

We have happy hours, functions and birthday bashes. You don’t have to catch a taxi to go out, it’s beautiful.”

In fact, there are some nights Ron and Evelyn simply won’t go out for fear of missing out!

“We originally came from Broken Hill; Ron worked on the mine,” Evelyn said.

“Our children were school teachers and unless they went to Tibooburra they weren’t going any further west. It’s three hours’ drive to go anywhere from Broken Hill, so we thought we’d move to Albury.

“We thought ‘if they want to come to us they can.’ They’re both living here now.

“We might not see them for weeks at a time but we know they’re here. When they want to go out for dinner I say ‘Don’t make it Wednesday or Friday because that’s our happy hour’.”

Over 55’s...

They’re living the life, all right

By KRYSTEN MANUEL IF YOU visit Murray Gardens, chances are you’ll come across the smiling faces of Arch and Marg McLeish.

Arch and Marg have been living at Murray Gardens for nearly 12 years and have embedded themselves in the very heart of the village by heading up committees, organising activities and fully immersing themselves in everything the village has to offer - which is quite a lot!

“My job around the place is when anyone comes in new, I try to get to know them and see what they’d like to do,” Marg said.

“There’s more than a few things we do around here - there’s three types of cards being played, there’s line dancing, bocce, tai chi and canasta - we have very nice musical groups that come and sing to us, there’s the movies we have of an afternoon and an evening, the men are very keen on the bingo, we have a beautiful buffet luncheon each Wednesday, and our birthday buffets once a month are really something special.

“We’re never bored, there’s something on every day. There’s a list that’s popped in our letterbox, all we have to do is pick it up, sit down and read it and you know exactly what you’re doing all week.”

Arch can also attest to the amount of activities on offer at Murray Gar-

dens, regularly filling up his days with various group functions.

“For example, what I have to do today,” he explained.

“At 12.30 we go down to the Albury Club, Pie Day we call it, we go through ’til 2pm, at 4pm we have Kelly Pool at Murray Gardens then it’s off to the Newmarket Hotel this evening.”

And while Arch is busy at the Newmarket, Marg is attending her weekly catch-up over a few cheeky drinks...

“At 5pm I have to be at what they call Chardy Girls Night,” she said.

“The Chardy Girls get together in their group and there’s another group that are the red wine drinkers.

We have our special tables, the company’s fantastic and we don’t even mind the water drinkers!”

And just in case they didn’t have enough to do, Arch heads up a few committees as well.

“I’m the chairman of the residents committee and it’s the best job I’ve ever had,” he said.

“I’m also on the bar committee which is fairly important. I organise the Newmarket Hotel’s booze bus to come over every third Thursday of the month - they come and pick us up, we have dinner and they bring us back again.”

Arch and Marg have lived exciting working lives, so it’s no surprise they’re continuing the tradition in

Murray Gardens. Arch was even mayor of Albury for two years and spent 16 years on council.

After Arch’s stint in local government, he and Marg decided to travel overseas for 10 weeks, but when they returned Marg fell ill, and so decided it was time to lessen the burden.

“We decided it was time we made some type of move into some type of retirement village,” Marg said.

“We chose this one and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done without a doubt - it’s wonderful, it’s a lovely atmosphere with very friendly, very good people.

“We’re very well managed. We enjoy Chic and Anne’s (village managers) company very much. They get in amongst the people - they always pop around the tables and say hello to us all.”

While the two were keen to move to Murray Gardens, of course, they had their concerns walking into such a substantial lifestyle change.

“I thought I might be living in too closer proximity to the neighbours but it doesn’t happen,” Arch said, having lived rurally for many years.

“You’re not in one another’s pockets but they’re there if you want them, it’s been great.”

Rhythm of Africa

By TANIA PHILLIPS THE beautiful sounds of Africa are on their way to Albury, with the Soweto Gospel Choir set to play the entertainment centre on 6 July.

In their native South Africa, Soweto Gospel Choir have performed for, and celebrated with, two of their biggest fans, their Patron, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the father of their nation, Nelson Mandela.

Following the recent passing of Mandela, the choir has been honoured to participate in services around the world celebrating and commemorating his life including the televised memorial service held in Soweto attended by President Obama and world leaders, a memorial for the Mandela Foundation in New York with President Clinton and Morgan Freeman, and most recently, at Westminster Abbey as part of the Queen’s service attended by President Zuma and Archbishop Tutu.

In recognition of the passing of such a towering figure as Nelson Mandela, Soweto Gospel Choir dedicate their Australian concerts to his memory and will include a section dedicated to freedom songs and some of Madiba’s favourite hymns.

Formed in November of 2002 by Andrew Kay, David Vigo and Clifford Hocking, in association with executive producer/director Beverly Bryer

WITH GEOFF HABERECHT OF TRU HIFI

New products IT TAKES about six months to see the changes and products touted about at the beginning of the year.

They are all landing around us now, the most popular entertainment item is still the television and the market now accepts that computer, television and the internet can be one and the same.

There can be little doubt that the connectivity will continue. The choice will be whether the technology is in the television or external.

The external decision means you only purchase a monitor television - the main market has been primarily used for commercial purposes. however it is becoming more common in the home.

Typically we a expect a longer lifespan from these products. Systems are put into place where the home network is operated from one region in the home and controlled by the tablet, touchscreens and phones.

For most people the decision is to purchase a fully integrated television, and in a short period of time we have seen the evolution grow with televisions that make the equivalent of three years ago look very old tech, even though the three-year-old television’s functions are just as good.

The major announcement for music lovers is there appears to be a change in the quality your download choice will be. While still a little bit of smoke and mirrors, it is a step in the right direction.

To explain this a little further when the CD was developed it was to a standard called redbook, this standard in technical terms was around half of the technical performances of the original master recording and around a third less than the typical LP record.

MP3 downloads can be as little as five per cent off the original master. With the new change it is expected that a HD term will evolve on down-

The smoke and mirrors appears that a download of 55 per cent off the original master may be called super HD music or something of the like.

However, this is a huge step in the right direction, we can only wait and see if companies like Apple adopt the changes.

Finally an area that is not as IT flash but we consider important in the HiFi field, a weakness has been the musical ability of stand-alone bookshelf speakers priced between $500 and $1,000.

A gap over the past 10 years emerged primarily due to satellite speakers and subwoofers, as people are moving back to music due to easy music access via streaming the satellite speakers generally don’t perform to music in the way they were designed for the DVD. New release speakers from a number of brands are filling this gap and as long the music system was of a reasonable standard to start with, these speakers can replace the satellite speaker without taking up the space of a large floor-standing speaker.

An executive property IT’S easy to see why so many middle-aged executives and their families look to Huon Creek Road to buy property. It’s accessible to the retail/business centre of Wodonga and not a huge impost for getting children to school and after school activities.

Roscrea is an ideal property located about eight kilometres along Huon Creek road with about one kilometre of good gravel road, to fulfil the above criteria.

Of about 80 acres of predominantly hill country, the property can also be accessed from Spring Gully Road.

The brick veneer home is about 40 years old, in good condition

along with another sturdy old storage area, plus the attendant chook runs, Roscrea is also blessed with a good water supply with four catchment tanks and a dam to house and garden.

The views from this property are quite spectacular, irrespective of season. Ideally suited to running cattle, the land size isn’t burdensome and with regular maintenance the farmer can also enjoy the benefits of country living but being ever so close to town facilities.

The owners are anxious to retire into town and are keen to sell.

Inspections are strictly by appointment.

but everyone would agree it would revel in a cosmetic makeover – not essential but can be a “work in progress”.

There are two living areas, a good size lounge dining room plus a television/reading space adjacent to the kitchen meals area. Speaking of the kitchen, it really is a ‘cook only’ kitchen with everything at your fingertips.

The main bedroom offers an ensuite and walk-in robe while the remaining bedrooms come with built-ins.

Roscrea also offers ducted heating and cooling.

With a double lock-up garage and carport, a good sized shed

Time for a change IT’S that time of the year again that is, the end of the financial year.

And while many of us will be focusing on finalising tax returns, and considering whether, or not, we may be receiving a refund, it also provides a good chance to review our financial planning. This includes considering our position in the property market.

The new financial year is a good time to plan changes - to downsize, upsize, move from an apartment to a house, make that tree change or seachange, move to a better location or house with more suitable features or, buy for the first time.

These are big decisions requiring planning, so coinciding them with wrapping up your finances for the 2013-’14 financial year and that fresh start from 1 July can be helpful.

If you plan a change it should begin researching the basics such as mortgage rates - these are still at historic lows but there are variations between lenders - preferred areas and their prices.

If you need to sell before buying, winter is the ideal time to choose your agent and get advice about what needs doing to make your home as attractive as possible to buyers.

Those intending to buy for the first time should not only begin researching affordable locations, but make a financial plan to achieve that

goal. A recent realestateview.com. au survey found half the renters surveyed believed they could not afford a deposit and 32 per cent believed they could not afford mortgage payments. So think laterally about making that dream achievable: potentially by starting in a smaller, one-bedroom unit or two-bedroom house, and later moving to a bigger unit or house. A further option is to invest - buying to rent can provide a foothold on the property ladder.

For investors, too, the new financial year is a chance to review your portfolio - how to add value to property assets, for example through improvements, how to better use your equity to purchase new assets, whether your loans are tax effective and flexible.

After reviewing your assets and planning changes, look ahead to 2014-’15. Research prices and affordable locations with scope for capital growth. No time? Consider hiring a buyer’s agent to do the legwork for you.

Research vacancy rates and yields. And find out what renters want, so your properties will be in demand. The realestateview.com.au survey found a large, quality kitchen and heating and air-conditioning were the features renters saw as key.

With the right information to hand, you could start the new financial year on a strong footing.

LAVINGTON

Investor’s delight THIS two-bedroom unit is securely leased until 30 May 2015 by a great tenant, and is wellmaintained.

It is appealing to tenants due to its location, size, position away from the street, and ame-

nities. Heating, cooking, and hot water are all gas, and it has refrigerated air-conditioning.

The garage has internal access and the backyard is private and secure.

2

The unit is in a quiet cul-desac near a large park, and is only a short walk away from Centro Lavington Shopping Centre.

With a current gross return of 5.74 per cent, it is worthy of your consideration.

THE new NSW Minister for Fair Trading announced the release of the Strata Reform Bill will be postponed due to the NSW Government’s longterm plan to deliver vital community title, strata and sectorwide reforms for the building industry in one package.

Minister Matthew MasonCox met with REINSW legal counsel Nicole Unger and managing director of LJ Hooker Strata Management Gary Adamson to discuss the government’s decision to postpone the Strata Reform Bill and how they will proceed next.

“Community title reforms will be accelerated as part of a broader package of reforms relating to multiple occupancy of buildings, strata, security of payments and home warranty insurance connected with the building industry,” Mr MasonCox said.

“These reforms are interrelated and must be viewed collectively as we build on the strong reform foundations and achievements of the last three years.

“We will give stakeholders every opportunity to work with us to refine the legislative amendments and ensure our reforms are well integrated across home building, strata, community titles, home warranty and security of payment laws.”

Representatives from REINSW, Strata Community Australia and others stakeholders had previously expressed their concerns with the way the Strata Reform Bill was handled when it was first released in November 2013.

“We’ve been told that the government intends to set up a consultancy group involving all stakeholders, rather than conduct it in the manner they

have previously,” Mr Adamson said.

“There is also the consolidation of five Acts back into two, which will take some time. The current Acts do not interact with each other particularly well, so the government intends to take a bit more time to ensure they all responsive.”

More than 25 per cent of the NSW population live or work in strata and community title buildings.

When the long-awaited position paper was released last year, the former NSW Fair Trading Minister Anthony Roberts acknowledged that strata schemes were the most common land title system for apartment buildings in NSW. The reform package is expected to be released in the first half of 2015.

Time to check smoke alarms, fire insurance NOW that winter is here, it’s timely for home-owners and tenants to make sure they have checked that smoke alarms are in good working order and reviewed insurance arrangements to assure their possessions are covered, in the event of a fire.

First National Real Estate Bonnici and Associates director William Bonnici said tenants often felt it wasn’t their responsibility to change the batteries in a smoke alarm or make sure it was working correctly.

However, with winter the worst season for house fires, Mr Bonnici said it was timely for all households to do a quick double-check.

“If tenants have any concerns at all about the condition of smoke alarms in the property they rent, they should speak to their landlord or property manager,” Mr Bonnici said.

“By law, every residence in Australia is required to have at least one working smoke alarm located on each level of the home.

“If the alarms are battery operated, make sure they are working and change the batteries if necessary. If there are any problems get your landlord or agent onto it immediately.”

Mr Bonnici said tenants should also make sure they had a sufficient level of contents insurance to cover their possessions in the event of a fire.

“For many tenants and young people, contents insurance can seem like just one more expense they can’t afford,” he said.

“But if anything happens, it’s an expense they’ll never regret. It’s critical that you have sufficient cover to be able to replace everyday items

like clothes, children’s toys and furniture.”

Bonnici said property owners also had a responsibility to ensure fire safety, through regular maintenance checks on heating appliances, including keeping a chimney clean, and installing an adequate number of smoke alarms.

“Our fire authorities persistently remind us about the importance of working smoke alarms and the dangers of the winter fire season,” Mr Bonnici said.“It’s critical to regularly check safety features, to protect the property and, more importantly, to save lives.”

Four out of five winter home fires start in kitchens, but electric blankets, clothes dryers, wood, gas and electric heaters are other common causes.

COLD weather and heavy rain kept numbers down for round five of the Albury Wodonga Kart Club Championships at the weekend.

However club secretary Ali Guttler said with the local round of the Victorian Gold Power series on 16-17 August, it’s likely to be the last quiet round at the track.

“It was pretty quiet - we only had about 20 racing - it was so wet and we had people racing at other events,” Ali said.

“We hold a club round on the last Sunday of every month and we normally have 40-50 racing.

“We are one of the biggest clubs outside the city.”

She said the next round, to be held on Sunday 27 July, would be much bigger as people prepared for the Gold Power round at the club’s track in August.

Ali said she expected a large number of local competitors, as well as competitors from around Victoria to test out the track and their machines in the lead-up to the local round.

throughout Victoria, culminating in a final in November.

The local club, established in the ’80s, had junior races 7-16 as well as seniors and had been a springboard for top racers Dave Reynolds and Brad Jones.

Ali said most V8 drivers started their driving in go-karts before stepping up to the big time.

The club opened the AWKC circuit at Sheathers Road and had it first club race meeting 26 July 1992. Membership today is about 90.

Dicing for the lead are Jye Milthorpe and Jackson Rice.

O&M FOOTY2014 Wodonga get close Simon

Says with SIMON CORR THE storylines continued in last weekend’s Ovens and Murray contests.

The winless Wodonga Bulldogs had victory snatched from them by North Albury debutant Gibson Turner, who kicked his fourth goal for the game after the siren to record a three-point win.

Ironically the Hoppers were celebrating their 1984 Premiership reunion, the margin in that Grand Final was also three points and the opponents ... ..you guessed it, Wodonga. An appearance at Birallee Park by former Collingwood forward, Chris Tarrant, couldn’t inspire the Raiders enough as they went down to Corowa Rutherglen.

Albury continued its dominance of the competition with an 85-point win over finals aspirant Wangaratta Rovers, and the Pigeons returned to form at the expense of the Wangarratta Magpies, Brendan Fevola ending a quiet patch in front of goals with a big tally of 11.

This weekend all the attention turns to our two very strong district leagues as the Ovens and Murray has a week off.

Both the Tallangatta and Hume Leagues are rich in both former Ovens and Murray stars and an abundance of local talent. In fact so good is the standard of football in these leagues that they would be considered Premier Leagues in most other parts of the state.

Things are certainly tight at the top in the Hume Football League this year.

After 11 games, three teams are equal on points at the top of the table. Last year’s Premier Brock - Burrum Saints are on of those teams. The Saints are looming equally as threatening this year as last. Ruckman Trent Storey is having a great season, and with quality former O&M players of the calibre of Luke Schilg, Darren McKimme, Luke Bruer and Josh McCudden the Saints are certain to feature prominently at the business end of the year.

Perennial Hume League powerhouse Osborne sit on top of the ladder, albeit by percentage only. The Cats are always a contender, and seem to have an incredible knack of producing brilliant and long-serving home-grown talent. They are well led by former Essendon and Albury Tigers player Daniel McAlister and history says they will play a big role at the Walbundrie Sports Ground come finals time.

Rand Walbundrie Tigers are the league’s big improvers this season and are the third of three teams equal on top. The Tigers recruited well from the Canberra region, in particular the strong and consistent Dean Roulstone.

The Tigers too have an abundance of youthful local talent which has been a by-product of the successful merge.

Finals success has been scarce for supporters of the club but second-year coach Daniel Athanitis is doing a terrific job at the helm and it would appear that may be rectified this year.

Other teams to look out for include Howlong who are thriving under firstyear coach Joel Price, Henty and the fast finishing Holbrook who are really starting to build some momentum.

The Tallangatta and District League is also quite open this season with usual suspects Kiewa Sandy Creek and Mitta locked together on top.

Shield still a hope

By TANIA PHILLIPS

Going up. Luke Wells and Shane Gaston in action during the Albury v Wangaratta Rovers game at Albury Sports Ground.

Things heat up during the Albury-Wangaratta game.

Kiewa are a very balanced and quick side with a great core of local players, some of which are the benefactors of a couple of seasons in the Ovens and Murray. They also possess some talent that many O&M clubs would be keen to get their hands on, such as highlyskilled Jye Shields who many rate up there with former team-mate Kayne Turner who is currently on Nth Melbourne AFL list.

Mitta is the Osborne of the Tallangatta League, and after going down in last year’s decider they will be keen to

this year make amends. They do have a few injury and suspension concerns at present but to their credit they continue to get the job done. On-baller Nathan Reynoldson is relishing the heavy conditions at the moment and will play a big part in the Mountain Men’s September campaign.

Last year’s Premier Barnawartha had a slip-up on the weekend, going down to the lowly-placed Beechworth.

The Tigers came from fifth to win it last season however coach Mark Saru will be keen to avoid another such fai-

rytale finish as they try to consolidate a top three finish. Of the others, Thurgoona look to be the biggest threat and are a definite contender.

MY SELECTIONS ALBURY v Wang Rovers NORTH ALBURY v Wodonga LAVINGTON v Myrtleford Wod Raiders v COROWA RUTHERGLEN Wangaratta v YARRAWONGA

STATE cricket could still be on its way to Albury, despite having to turn down the Victoria v Queensland fixture.

Albury City Council is hoping to secure a different Sheffield Shield cricket match in the 2015’16 season after having to pass on the Victoria v Queensland match at the Lavington Sports Ground.

Albury City’s Director of Tourism and Economic Development Tracey Squire said the match was set to potentially clash with the AFL NAB Challenge.

“Council has already submitted a tender to host an AFL NAB Cup match at the Lavington Sports Ground in March,” she said.

“The AFL will announce the successful tenders on 15 August.

At this stage we need to keep the arena available in the event we are selected as a successful venue.”

“Unfortunately the tight turnaround between the proposed matches means that the Lavington Sports Ground can’t be prepared in time to host both events.”

“We have made the venue available as a contingency arena for Cricket Victoria should council be unsuccessful in securing an AFL NAB Cup match.”

“Unfortunately the timelines haven’t worked out on this occasion. Council will continue working with Cricket Victoria, Cricket NSW and the Albury Wodonga Cricket Association to explore ways we can attract Sheffield Shield cricket to the region, particularly in the 2015 pre-Christmas period when we can guarantee the Lavington Sports Ground’s availability and a perfect playing pitch.”
