Our dirty secret

By ERIN SOMERVILLE

Women’s Centre for Health and Well-being Albury Wodonga manager Kellie Noordam and health promotions worker Peta Pitman would like to see the community take a stand against domestic violence.

Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE in Victoria to cover this broad spectrum.

Unfortunately, it is a crime all women can be subjected to. “It is a big myth that there are certain families and neighbourhoods where this happens, but it can happen to anyone,�

Ms Pitman said.

Husbands, sons, and carers abusing the vulnerable elderly and disabled, are often common types of domestic violence offenders.

The team at the local women’s centre is now challenging locals to help stop the negative attitude towards

ing domestic violence, and having confidence in police being able to deal with that, “ Albury Local Area Command Supertintendant Beth Stirton said. “The increase could be related to more positive media and information on how we (the police) can help victims of domestic violence.�

Domestic violence can encompass an entire range of criminal behaviour, including emotional, psychological, financial, spiritual, and physical abuse, with the phrase ‘family violence’ becoming increasingly popular

domestic violence. “When people think it’s a joke, it is important to have a voice and challenge that,� Ms Pitman said. “Changing attitudes goes a long way in changing the issue for the community.�

If you need help with domestic violence issues, you can call the Women’s Centre for Health and Well-being Albury Wodonga on 6041 1977.

A 24-hour helpine is available on 1800 RESPECT. If the matter is life-threatening, phone triple zero.

Inspirational messages and support are offered at the women’s centre.

DOMESTIC violence should not remain behind closed doors.

This is the message local police and support workers are shouting across the city following a rise in reported cases this year.

The latest Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research report shows 50 extra cases of domestic violence were reported in Albury during the 12 months to June, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013.

The 19 per cent jump means Albury’s latest domestic violence count stands at 310 incidents.

With staff at the Women’s Centre for Health and Well-being Albury Wodonga seeing more than this number of women every year, it is almost certain this is only a small fraction of incidents occuring behind closed doors in the local government area. “The statistics don’t reflect how many women and children suffer from domestic violence,� the centre’s health promotion worker Peta Pitman said.

The incorporation acknowledges women can occasionally be the instigators of domestic violence themselves, but statistics show the crime is most often committed by males.

The centre works with local residents to help them escape domestic violence situations, and provide them with knowledge, options, and support.

Many women seek assistance anonomously. “For us, it’s all about wanting women to be safe,� Ms Pitman said. “We work with experts to support them in what way is right for their individual situation.�

There have been suggestions that the rise in domestic vioence reports could be a positive indication that it is no longer a crime being kept secret. “In terms of that, we are seeing more confidence with victims report-

PUBLIC NOTICES

Kids off to Gallipoli

By ERIN SOMERVILLE FOR a school of just 86 students, it was a very exciting moment when St Mary MacKillop College was drawn in the 2015 Gallipoli School Tour Ballot.

The school, drawn by NSW Centenary of Anzac Ambassador Olwyn Green OAM in a ballot last week, is among only a handful of NSW schools that will represent others at one of the key commemorative events in NSW’s Centenary of Anzac program.

The students still cannot believe their luck.

“We are a small school, and these things don’t happen every day,” student Lily Murphy said.

Even principal Kevin Tingle was left a little lost for words over the lucky draw.

“I was just amazed, I couldn’t believe it.

“We put in an application months ago that I thought we would never hear from again.

“I didn’t hold out much hope.”

With so many schools in the state vying for the position, it is not surprising Mr Tingle initially had little expectation.

The NSW Government is investing $1 million to enable 100 students and 28 supervising teachers to take up the 128 places allocated to NSW by the Australian Government.

Member for Albury Greg Aplin noted that there had been strong interest from secondary schools across NSW in the ballot, with 420 expressions of interest received.

“I am thrilled that students from St Mary MacKillop College will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of the commemorative ceremonies to mark the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli,” Mr Aplin said.

“I am immensely proud that school students from our Albury electorate will be there in Turkey next year to represent our state at the Centenary of Anzac commemoration services.”

St Mary MacKillop College is currently studying World War I, and students are eager to know some students will get closer to the experience.

St Mary MacKillop College will now undertake a local selection process to nominate four students and one supervising teacher to participate in the Gallipoli 2015 School Tour.

Although the competition might be tough, students say they will be pleased for whoever the lucky four are.

“Considering we are such a small school it is like one big family, and we will just support each other and be really excited to watch it on television,” student Jenna-Lee Murphy said.

Border youth: jobs needed

By ERIN SOMERVILLE AS YOUTH unemployment rates continue to hit record highs across Australia, the Border area remains far from immune to the problem.

The team at Albury’s Youth Connections is helping to tackle the problem early, and has helped hundreds of local 11 to 19-year-olds find work and get on their feet in the five years their program has been operating from The Hub. In that time, the team has identified many obstacles that are standing in the way of local disengaged youth finding employment, staying in school, and being able to live independently.

Mental health issues, increased local youth homelessness, or simply having a negative experience in school are all elements that, if not addressed early, can lead to a spiral in youth and eventually adult unemployment.

Youth Connections co-ordinator Craig White said the organisation worked hard to help re-engage young people by helping them finish their education, direct them to the YES support accommodation service, and simply help build self-esteem through mentoring and high school transition programs.

They also work closely with families to help break the cycle of unemployment.

With federal funding for the program set to end on 31 December, many young people will soon have to find other avenues to assist them get back on their feet.

Mr White is disappointed the service will no longer be funded, and says the statistics show it works.

Last year, 256 young people participated in YES Youth Connections, with 71 per cent achieving an outcome, which includes addressing and removing education and employment bar-

riers, and sustained engagement with education or training.

“It is a very holistic program,” Mr White said.

“We have the capacity to work with multiple barriers.”

Mr White said it was important to target disengaged students as early as possible to help prevent them from falling through the cracks, with some beginning to show signs of disengagement as early as primary school.

He said changes to Centrelink that make it harder for young people to access government financial support will only be another obstacle for local youth, particularly when they soon will be expected to travel more to find work.

“I think it is very short-sighted to say to someone to wait six months without any benefits,” Mr White said “It is not beneficial for someone without the resources and support to take that away.”

Mr White said one of their clients, who had re-engaged with senior schooling but was forced to abandon her studies as she was unable to support herself with part-time work, highlighted the lack of assistance for young people trying to find their feet.

The Federal Government this week announced that it was investigating $38 million worth of programs to tackle unemployment.

The proposed ‘Training for Employment Scholarship’ would provide small to medium businesses who hire 18 to 24-year-olds access to whollyfunded government training that suited the needs of their business, while the ‘Youth Employment Pathways’ program would give community organisations funding to deliver support services and training to 15 to 18-year-olds who were not in school.

Youth Connections co-ordinator Craig White says targeting issues that contribute to youth unemployment at an early stage is vital in helping reduce unemployment rates.

Member for Farrer Sussan Ley said improving youth unemployment rates was one of her highest priorities.

“Youth unemployment locally is sitting at around 15 per cent, which is far too high,” she said.

“Right now, around 50 per cent of

people who start their apprenticeship training don’t complete it.

“That needs to change.

“We want training and apprenticeship systems which actually work, give people a real chance, and most importantly turn out people that

employers want to employ.”

Statistics in the 2011 Census showed Albury’s youth unemployment from 15-24 was 9.5 per cent, and 11.8 per cent of this age group were not employed, in education, or training.

Albury crime is on the run

By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE latest crime statistics show Albury is a safer place to be, after the number of criminal incidents significantly dropped compared to last year.

The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) released statistics last week, which compares crime rates over the 12 month periods leading to June 2013 and June 2014.

Theft from motor vehicles dropped by more than 45 per cent while motor vehicle theft has decreased by almost 25 per cent.

Homes are also safer with break-ins

dropping by more than 23 per cent and thefts from dwellings dropping almost 33 per cent.

Strategies and hard work by the local police is behind the drop in crime, said Albury Local Area Command (ALAC) Superintendent Beth Stirton.

Police are being sent out to locations where criminal activity is becoming a problem, and canvasing information from the public to help identify the offenders.

The scheme is working in many Albury areas, according to Supt Stirton.

“There has been a bit of change

around Lavington central area and other business central areas around Wagga Road,” she said.

Supt Stirton said introducing closed-circuit television cameras in high-crime areas could see a further reduction in crime.

“It has potential in crime prevention in that some take notice it is there,” Supt Stirton said.

“In the long term, it can help identify people who have committed offences and put them before the court.”

Supt Stirton said CCTV had helped in a local case earlier this year when a

man was found with severe trauma to the head in Olive Street, which nearby cameras had shown was caused by a coward’s punch.

During the most recent BOCSAR reporting period, a heavy number of local resources have been directed at tackling the drug sector, following the spike of the drug ice in regional Australia, including Albury.

This is expected to have a positive follow-on effect on crime rates.

The report also shows that the number of robberies without a weapon has halved, from 14 incidents being

recorded in the 12 months leading up to June 2013, to seven incidents in the following year.

Malicious damage to property dropped 15 per cent, fraud cases dropped 15 per cent, and indecent assault reduced by almost 20 per cent.

Residents are asked to help play their part in keeping Albury safe.

“It is about the police and the community working together and assisting anywhere we can in relation to anything they see that is suspicious.

“If you see something, say something.”

Job cuts would be shocking

By ERIN SOMERVILLE FEWER jobs for young Border residents is one fear local power workers have expressed, following the proposed leasing of almost half of NSW’s electricity sector.

The concern was publicly raised after Stop the Sell Off campaigners stopped into Albury last week.

Electrical Trade Union secretary Steve Butler said local Essential Energy employees were worried, even though their company was excluded from the proposed lease of 49 per cent of NSW poles and wires under the NSW Government Rebuilding NSW package.

“In 2010, 129 new apprentices started work with Essential Energy across regional NSW, but by this year that number had plunged to just 30, which is a body blow to countless young people looking to enter the industry.”

Mr Butler said fewer local apprecticeships spelled the death of regional New South Wales.

“If young people can’t get jobs, they will migrate to bigger cities.

“The State Government is selling out country NSW.” The allegations made by Stop the Sell Off campaigners during their Albury visit have been labelled as “fairytales” by Member for Albury Greg Aplin.

Mr Aplin insists that Essential Energy will not be affected by the proposed 99-year leasing of poles and wires in NSW. “This is a sad attempt by a union to scaremonger,” said Mr Aplin.

“If Mr Butler or the ETU had bothered to contact Essential Energy on the matter they would have been advised that the decisions about size and make-up of field workforces are based solely

on the needs of customers and the network that serves them.”

“Skilled staff will always be required, and will be needed to be located in areas that best serve customers’ needs.”

The Electrical Trade Union is not comforted by the State Government’s promise to keep Essential Energy free from a private lease.

“The government says it is red circling Essential Energy and keeping it safe, but judging by its actions offering voluntary redundancies, decreasing jobs, and eliminating apprenticeships, it doesn’t look like that,” Mr Butler said.

“We are visiting workers in Albury because they are deeply concerned about the long-term future of Essential Energy, and the impact of cuts to services and training that are already taking place.”

Great shivering Scots

By ERIN SOMERVILLE IT WAS only a matter of time before the charitable Ice Bucket Challenge for Motor Neurone Disease took its cool grip on the Border region, and The Scots School Albury helped kick it off.

Nominating all Year 12 students in the city to follow their lead, the students at Scots had no problem with pouring icy water on themselves for the sake of a good cause.

“It’s a big thing right now and we

just thought we would make it an event for the school,” school captain Emily Cope-Williams said.

The Year 12 class lined up on the the school lawn, and with many class mates coming out for support, were counted down to their chilly moment.

Emily said social media had played a large role in raising awareness with her class mates about motor neurone disease.

“I think it is a pretty good way (to raise awareness) and it’s possibly going to get even bigger.”

Shortly after the Ice Bucket Challenge was completed at Scots, Albury High School accepted the nomination.

But it is not just the children who are getting involved.

Sixteen Hume Bank managers also copped an icy soak in QEII Square to shiver for the good cause, and nominated every Hume Bank customer to do the same.

For the company, the charity is particular special following the diagnosis of one of its staff with motor

neurone disease.

The company has raised $1500 in aid of the cause.

The Ice Bucket Challenge, sometimes know as the ASL Ice Bucket Challenge (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a charity campaign that went viral in July this year and is popular across the globe.

The challenge dares those nominated to be filmed having icy water poured on them. They in turn nominate someone else to carry out the challenge.

THE Commonwealth Bank last week launched the CAN Connect initiative in the Albury Wodonga area.

Commonwealth Bank regional general manager Michelle Winzer said she was excited to be launching the initiative in Albury-Wodonga as well as celebrating 100 years of Commonwealth Bank involvement in the community.

“CAN Connect is about enabling the Albury-Wodonga community to get digitally connected,” Ms Winzer said.

“Australians are increasingly turning to technology to make their everyday banking simple and easy.

“Innovation has made many aspects of our daily lives easier. We can now order groceries, pay bills, research our next holiday and keep up with the latest news online.

“And technology can also bring people and communities together, allowing us to stay in touch, collaborate and share,” Ms Winzer said.

CAN Connect is about providing the Albury-Wodonga community with the skills necessary to participate in a connected world and give them access to the necessary tools.

Over the next three months, the Commonwealth Bank will provide education sessions at local libraries, visit community events with technology experts, provide demonstrations in branches, and run competitions to encourage the community to explore all the wonderful opportunities and benefits that being digitally active can bring.

“We are proud of the long and strong relationship we have had, and continue to have, with this.

“With the right skills, tools and knowledge, we believe the possibilities are endless for the Albury.”

Ideal age to begin school

By ERIN SOMERVILLE IS MY child ready for school?

It is a question that will begin to plague many local parents around this time of year as enrolments for 2015 begin to ramp up, but Australian principals are now pushing for children to start school later.

A recent call by the Australian Primary Principals’ Association says five-and-a-half is the perfect age to start school, with six months flexibilty either side, to help close age gaps in classrooms.

Currently, there can be up to 17 month's difference between kindergarten students.

The principal of Scots School of Albury Peggy Mahy said even though they were an independent school, they used a similar principle with their enrolments, but were willing to be flexible.

"We look at each child that presents individually," she said.

Ms Mahy said it was very important for children to be

Write around the Murray

By TANIA PHILLIPS

Is my child ready for school at all levels? That's the big question parents need to answer. prepared for school on a variety of levels, not just academically.

"It is important not to put cognitive readiness over social and emotional development," she said.

"It is harder for them to catch up on social and emotional readiness."

Some things socially and emotionally ready children

should be able to do is show resilience and endurance throughout the day, relate to other students, and take directions from an adult.

Parents who are unsure of whether their child is ready are encouraged to speak to their child’s school and teachers, who have extensive knowledge and experience in the field.

THE best and brightest in the world of books head to our region this week for the annual celebrated Write Around the Murray Festival.

The event is a chance to join in as award-winning authors, performers and storytellers from near and far bring out a few of the tales tall and true.

The event kicks off today at venues around the area, ending on 14 September.

This year the event has attracted a wide cross-section of authors including legendary investigative reporter and journalist Chris Masters.

Chris Masters is the longestserving reporter on Australia’s longest-running current affairs television program, Four Corners. His record remains intact despite leaving the program in 2009.

In 25 years he made more than 100 programs. His first ‘The Big League’ triggered the Street Royal Commission, which investigated judicial corruption in NSW. His 1987 report ‘The Moonlight State’ helped initiate the Fitzgerald inquiry into police and political corruption in Queensland. He will be appearing at the WAM Events: Jacks, Jokers and Journos, Masters Apprenticeship, and Anzac to Afghanistan.

Also at the Jacks, Jokers and

Journos is Matthew Condon.

Matthew Condon is the author of several novels, works of non-fiction, and is the twotime winner of the Steele Rudd Award for short fiction. His novels include The Motorcycle Cafe, The Pillow Fight and The Trout Opera. His non-fiction titles include Brisbane and, as editor, Fear, Faith and Hope: Remembering the Long Wet Summer of 2010-2011.

His latest book, Three Crooked Kings, is the first instalment in a trilogy on the life and times of former Queensland police commissioner Terry Lewis, and crime and corruption in Queensland and NSW over a half-century. The books tell an epic story of corruption so deeply entrenched it infected the political process, the police and the judiciary to such an extent that it changed Queensland society. It was awarded the John Oxley Library Award 2013, and was shortlisted for several other awards.

Two of the funniest women in Australia are Wendy Harmer and Fiona O’Loughlin.

Fiona will appear at the Out of Print Book Club and Literary Lunch.

When Alice Springs mother of five Fiona O’Loughlin started doing stand-up later in life than most comics, her hilarious stories of housewifery and motherhood were an immediate

hit. Her first festival show - Fiona And Her Sister (And Some Weird Guy) earned her the Best Newcomer Award at the 2001 Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF). She’s been enjoying sell-out seasons on the festival circuit ever since.

Wendy Harmer appears at the Festival Dinner and Wendy Harmer’s Leftover Laughs.

Wendy is a veteran of the Edinburgh, Montreal and Glasgow-Mayfest Festivals and a very successful author and radio presenter.

A former political journalist, Wendy is the author of four books for adults - It’s a Joke, Joyce, a book on Australian women’s humour, Love Gone Wrong, a humorous look at failed relationships, So Anyway, a collection of her weekly columns from The Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Weekend Magazine and in 2004, Farewell My Ovaries.

Wendy contributed to Marie Claire’s What Women Want in 2002 and a volume of The Best Ever Sports Writing ... 200 Years of Sport Writing.

She has written two plays: Backstage Pass and What is the Matter with Mary Jane? Want to know more about this year’s event? http://www.writearoundthemurray.org.au/

Curious menu

1150540-KM37-14

By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE time has come to talk of many things, especially of the amazing Alice in Wonderland luncheon thrown by Wodonga TAFE students.

Chef and event management students came together to host the themed luncheon ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’, and dressed as beloved Lewis Carroll characters and served up a menu that proved to be curioser and curioser.

Cholcoate spaghetti, champagne cavier, and dissolving desserts were all quirky additions on the menu that challenged the typical concept of many foods.

The style of the cooking demonstrated by the students is known as ‘molecular gastronomy’, describing the physical and chemical processes that take place while cooking.

“Really, it’s a style of cooking that strives to use the seemingly inexhaustible array of ingredients, tools and techniques that the world offers”, says Sarah Whitling, Wodonga TAFE Commercial Cookery educator.

Peter Brooke, Amy Zuber, and Courtney Walker take a journey through the looking glass as part of their course.

126789 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE. The chef students used unorthodox methods to perfect their seven-course feast, including the use of agar agar to set their dishes, and sous-vide to steam-cook meals over a controlled temperature.

TAFE Wodonga’s event management teacher Katie Trebley said the famous chef Heston Blumenthal was the inspiration behind the unorhodox cooking methods.

“The students wanted some-

thing that was secretive and intriguing,” she said.

“It gives the chefs a chance to do something they don’t normally do at work and adds a bit of excitement.”

Events management student Amy Zuber was in charge of ensuring the entire luncheon ran smoothly, and was enjoying the challenge.

“I have to keep an eye on everything and make sure it all goes to plan and on time.”

One of the images that will be used in the evocative new tourism website for the Murray region.

Picture: Contributed

Tourists click in

By ERIN SOMERVILLE BRINGING more tourists to the Border region could be only a click away, as a new tourism website works towards luring more visitors to the area.

Murray Regional Tourism (MRT), the peak tourism body for the Murray River region, will be tapping into the power of the internet as they prepare to give the region’s online face a makeover.

The upgrade of their tourism website is expected to benefit nine shires, including Albury and Wodonga, through to Mildura and Holbrook.

The internet is proving a powerful tool in drawing tourists, with over 70 per cent of tourist bookings in the Murray area occurring online.

This figure has risen rapidly from around just 50 per cent of bookings being made online just 12 months ago.

The Border currently attracts many tourists on short or weekend trips, as well as young families.

It is more important than ever that the tourism boards develop a strong online presence, according to MRT CEO Mark Francis. “(Online tourism) is growing very rapidly,” he said.

“Once we have built the digital platform and set the marketing program we will have a strong opportunity to drive visitors, with the ultimate goal to increase visitation.”

New imagery, multi-media, and content will highlight the best of the region, while online booking functionality will allow visitors to book their trip instantly.

Popular tourism sites such as Wotif and TripAdvisor will additionally be connected with the site.

The showcasing of nine shires on one website is also expected to benefit the region, rather than users having to access separate webpages for each different area.

“This is an exciting step forward for the Murray region,” Mr Francis said.

MRT secured funding to support this project from the Regional Visitor Economy Fund, which is managed and administered by the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW. It is also working with Tourism Victoria and local government partners to fund and manage the development of this project.

A Digital Roadshow will be run by MRT across the region from 15 September to engage directly with tourism operators and interested parties regarding the project.

The new website will be unveiled in December at visitthemurray.com.au

Mighty by name and action NEED a reason to get fit this spring?

How about lacing up the running shoes for a great local cause.

The Mighty Murray Trek will put its first foot forward on 24 Noevmeber, as hundreds of local in the Murray region tackle the 230km trek in support of the James McQuilan Future Fund.

James has strong ties to the region, having grown up in Echuca region, and studied and played football in Albury.

It was during a match against Yarrawonga where he was tragically injured, sustaining a serious spinal cord injury during a routine

collision with an opponent.

The Murray communities have continued to strongly support James, leading the charge in fundraising for his ongoing medical care and needs.

The Mighty Murray Trek will live up to its name, and see participants complete a marathon journey from Echuca to Albury.

There is hope that James himself will be able to particpate in the journey.

Attempting to push the 10 kilometre mark in October’s Melbourne Marathon will provide the perfect preparation opportunity for the fund-raiser.

“It’s going to be a great one,” McQuillan said.

“I’m really looking forward to getting down there, hopefully for more than a couple of days to get involved and be part of this one, it’s going to be good.”

It’s hoped The Mighty Murray Trek will also encourage celebrities and some AFL players to participate.

“I think a few have already put their hand up and it will be great to have a few celebrities come along and make a big week out of it,” McQuillan said.

The Mighty Murray Trek starts

in Echuca on Monday 24 November 2014 and will finish in Albury on Saturda 29 November.

A fund-raising entry fee of $5,000, which could be shared as part of a team/relay entry, is required.

The trek will be a physical and mental challenge, and can be shared between friends, team mates, and colleagues over the six days as part of a relay.

Participants are encouraged to register their interest and gain further details online via the events page at www.jamesmcquillan. com.au and follow the prompts.

AN Albury Wodonga Charles Sturt University (CSU) lecturer in education has been awarded a prestigious national Teacher Educator of the Year Award for 2014.

Mr Paul Grover, a lecturer at the CSU School of Education in Albury-Wodonga, said it was a great honour and quite a surprise to receive the award.

“It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to work among young people, no matter what their age,” Mr Grover said.

“During my last few years as a secondary school head teacher, I had the feeling that I wanted to give something back to the teaching profession, and so I seized the opportunity when it came to contribute to the preparation of future teachers at Charles Sturt University.

“This role has allowed me to share a little of the wisdom, experience and insights that I have gleaned from a long and fulfilling career working beside so many wonderfully inspiring and professional teachers, and many more thousands of young adults who have been our high school students.”

The Australian Teacher Education Association’s ATEA/ Pearson Teacher Educator of

Albury teacher Paul Grover has been awarded a prestigious national Teacher Educator of the Year Award for 2014.126942 Picture: Courtesy of Charles Sturt University. the Year Award aims to encourage and recognise innovative teaching practices in teacher education at a university level.

Mr Grover said that over the last four years at CSU he had learnt much about the profound complexities of teacher education, the dynamic changes taking place in the sector, the enormous political influences at play, and the passion and commitment of so many talented teacher educator colleagues.

“Our future teachers do not realise how many thousands of hours are invested in the development of rich subject content, authentic and creative learning experiences, and fulfilling assessment activities that are all designed to enhance their professional knowledge, skills and teaching practice,” he said.

“The teaching profession is such a powerfully important and valuable profession in the world today, and I wholeheartedly endorse the words of the American commentator, John Wooden, who last century declared, ‘I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession’.”

Mr Grover said that teacher educators had an enormous responsibility to the future generations, and he considered it an enormous privilege to work beside enthusiastic, passionate and inspiring future professional educators.

Mr Grover has been an English and history head teacher at Albury’s James Fallon High School for 20 years, a high school English and history teacher for 37 years, and a fulltime CSU teacher educator since 2011.

Dining The best in the Bullring

FEATURE

By ERIN SOMERVILLE THERE are certain elements that help the Bullring Restaurant stand apart from the rest.

Celebrating its 31st birthday in the hands of the local Jones family this week, the team has had the time and experience to perfect the tantalising menu, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and stellar line of beverages.

All this helps make the Bullring Restaurant a favourite stop for travellers and locals alike.

When customers first arrive at the Bullring, a warm atmosphere trickles beyond the restaurant doors, heartily luring guests inside.

An authentic cocktail bar, manned by staff on hand to whip up your favourite drink, or pour your favourite local or exotic wine, creates a perfect start to your dining experience.

A lot of locals come in to try the steaks, arguably the best that Albury has to offer, but there is a wide range of food on the menu to please the whole family.

Another favourite on the menu is the restaurant’s Nep-

New second chef Roy Jayasuriya has extensive international experience, and can cater even to celebrity tastes. 126909

Luttrellstown Castle, kept the crowds happy in Amsterdam, and perfected fine-dining in Canada, you can be sure the team will serve up a mouthwatering experience.

Donate clothes while spring cleaning SPRING has sprung and it’s time to shake off the winter blues with a good spring clean inside and out.

When it comes to cleaning out the wardrobe, the Red Cross are asking us to donate any good-quality summer clothes.

Red Cross Shops general manager Kate Dear said the charity stores are calling for donations.

“If you have a bit of spare time this weekend, why not clean out your cupboards and give your long-forgotten summer frocks a new lease of life by taking them to a Red Cross Shop,” she said.

“Don’t be shy. It’s simple to donate at a Red Cross Shop. Just walk in and hand your items across the counter or place them in the Donate Now box at the entrance of each store.”

Kate has shared some of her handy spring cleaning tips: 1. Wait for a warm, sunny day then throw open the windows and let in some fresh air. Asthma research shows there are more airborne pollutants inside our homes than out. While they’re open, give the windows and sills a quick wash and clean the insect screens.

2. Sweep and scrub the floors, clean or replace floor mats and vacuum under the beds. A cheap and simple way to freshen up a mattress is to simply sprinkle on a little baking soda, wait a few minutes and then vacuum it up.

3. Clean the bedding according to the washing instructions, replace all the pillows and air out your mattress.

4. Wash and sanitise kitchen cutting boards, clean and organise food cupboards, check food and medicine expiry dates, clean the oven, microwave and stove top, clean and descale the kettle by boiling up a little vinegar and water, and don’t forget to unplug the toaster before you shake out the crumbs.

5. Finally, go through each of your drawers and wardrobes and take everything out, wipe down all the surfaces and then neatly place back all the items you think you will need. Donate the rest to a Red Cross Shop.

To find the location of your nearest Red Cross Shop, visit redcross.org.au/ shops or call 1800 339 888.

Wondering what to do with those long-forgotten summer dresses?

Donate them to the Red Cross.

Barossa Valley - South Australia

Singles get to share TRAVEL is a wonderful part of life, and for many, having someone to share the experience with is important.

Unfortunately, not everyone who has caught the travel bug will have a partner or friend who can easily come along for the adventure.

Thankfully, local TravelManager Libby Frankel can now help put an ease to these solo travel worries through the creation of her Single Travelers Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are planning a trip but not keen to go on your own, then this group may be for you,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps you are struggling to co-ordinate a trip with friends or your partner simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the travel bug. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me help you find the perfect companion to hit the road with.â&#x20AC;?

The group is a new project Libby has started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been contacted by various locals who asked if there was some way I could put them in touch with other locals who were interested in finding someone to travel with.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Frankel said travelling alone can sometimes be a lonely and expensive experience, with single travellers unable to split room costs or simply not having someone to socialise and share memories with after an amazing day out.

Travel Manager Libby Frankel is on hand to use her extensive travel experience and help plan the perfect holiday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether you are 18 or 80, this group is designed to help you meet other people in this region who are looking for a travel partner.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Frankel has more than 14 years of travel consultancy experience and having spent time working abroad she has all the inside knowledge to make a trip one to remember. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am passionate about travel and love talking to people about their travel plans and turning their dreams into reality,â&#x20AC;? she said.

If you have caught the travel bug, either as a solo traveller or a family, now is the time to start making your plans with TravelManagers.

Those heading to the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, or Alaska can take advantage of some fantastic savings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is the time to make the most of the early bird deals for

2015 which are being released now.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Frankel is available now to help start planning a dream holiday and is happy to offer flexible service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to discuss your plans over the phone or by email, at home, work or even at a coffee shop, whichever is easiest for you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a personal travel manager with Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest mobile travel company, you can benefit from the service and convenience of a travel consultant that comes to you.â&#x20AC;?

For those who are interested in being a part of the Single Travelers Group or simply want to plan a holiday, call Ms Frankel on 0438 469 630 or email libbyf@travelmanagers.com. au.

Idyllic childhood memories SOME childhood holidays can stay with you for a lifetime.

For Stuart Barlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, the magic of Upper Murray Resort has captivated them for at least 10 years.

Each year they return, a little bit older with a few more stories under their belt, no less affected by the alluring tranquility of the area.

Now an adult himself, Stuart shares why the Upper Murray Resort has become a home away from home after all these years: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re crawling on your hands and knees through long grass and the native shrubs, all in order to find the creature that your parents had warned you about the night before.

Your buddies are with you on this adventure through the hills, which always ends up with a scream followed by a frantic sprint back to the parents in their cottage.

Revisiting the place where a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination can be so wild is always an experience in itself. This undiscovered gem nestled among the hills lies only a few hours north-east of Melbourne, Victoria.

The Upper Murray Resort is located on the Victorian side of the Murray River and is only a short drive from the small towns of Walwa and Jingellic, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Walwaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is an Aboriginal word meaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a meeting of watersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,

Stuart Barlow with his girlfriend Stacey Kerr and Sally the wonder dog. which describes the area perfectly.

All 16 cottages of the Upper Murray Resort boast views of the Murray River, rolling green hills and a beautiful 18-hole golf course.

With a population of approximately 300 people, Walwa is one of those country towns that thrive off community spirit and welcome visitors with open arms.

Jingellic Pub is where you will find the local farmers on most weekends; it is easy enough to join in on a game of pool, darts, or even organise a game of golf for the next day.

The beauty of the Upper Murray resort is that it appeals to so many different people.

The resort is situated on 180 acres of natural beauty with all

16 cottages spread among the hills.

Families, couples, retirees and young friends are regular visitors to the resort who happily share the facilities such as two large swimming pools and a tennis court.

The biggest challenge of a holiday to the Upper Murray Resort is how to pack the endless amount of activities into your stay.

From playing golf, to canoeing on the Murray River, flyfishing, bushwalking, experiencing the Yarrangobilly Caves, bike riding and plenty more.

Andrew Ellis from Melbourne has been visiting the Walwa Holiday Resort every Easter for the past 15 years and says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect for his family. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;More people need to know about this place, our family and friends love it every year and we just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop coming back.

A four-hour drive from Melbourne to a place like this is well worth it on a long weekend, says Andrew.

For families wishing to escape the city hustle and retreat to the hills, the Upper Murray Resort is the place that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. For children wishing to find the mythical creature that I once attempted to find, good luck.

Thirsty Merc clocks up the first decade

By TANIA PHILLIPS THERE must be more than 20 Good Reasons to see Thirsty Merc when they head into town on 10 October.

The first one has to be, well it’s their anniversary and hard as it is to believe, it’s 10 years since the iconic Aussie rockers burst onto the music scene with a self-titled album.

It’s music history that the album went on to become a double platinum hit that still graces our music libraries today.

“I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since we released our debut!” frontman and songwriter Rai Thistlethwayte said.

“We want to say a really big thanks to our fans - they’ve been amazing.

“This Merc-tober we’ll play this album live on tour and throw in a few newbies too.”

To mark the 10-year milestone since the release of that album, the boys, who are out and about and enjoying playing on the road, will release their Triple A album - Acoustic Anniversary Album.

This is a chance to hear all those fan favourites including 20 Good Reasons, In The Summertime, Someday Someday and Mousetrap Heart done acoustically.

The new album, released this past Friday through MGM Distribution highlights the talent of the band and the writing of Rai who seems to have captured the voice of a generation with his lyrically interesting, story-telling style.

The tour, which starts on 6 October, is going to many and varied places.

“We are going all over - pretty much 24 different places - it’s pretty much the most extensive tour we’ve done in a few years, taking in both metro and regional,” Rai said.

It’s a tour he admits the whole band is looking forward to and after 10 years they are enjoying it more - “finding the balance” and have learned to relax and enjoy the Thirsty Merc journey.

Friday 10 October - SSA, Albury VIC Ticket Info: www.ssaclub.com. au

Thirsty Merc marks 10 years with a tour.

Teeming with play entries WINNERS of La Trobe University Albury Wodonga’s first ever competition celebrating playwrights will be announced at the Solo awards tonight (Wednesday).

Following the successful launch of Solo in November last year, a monologue writing competition run in collaboration between HotHouse Theatre Company, Write Around the Murray and La Trobe University, 178 entries have flooded in from across the globe - much to the delight of the organisers.

The inaugural Solo competition will culminate in a much-anticipated event at the HotHouse Theatre on Wednesday night, featuring a shortlist of works.

Winners and runners-up will be announced on the night.

“I was anticipating somewhere between 60 and 90 entries all up, so this is a fantastic result,” Hothouse Artistic director Jon Halpin said.

“I think it’s a very strong response for the first running of the award, and I think there’s an opportunity to really build the national and possible international profile of Solo.”

Solo is a competition for experienced and emerging playwrights to submit a work for solo performance, between three and six minutes in duration.

The piece can be on any topic and there will be no limitations on the type of character presented in the work.

“Through this collaboration with HotHouse Theatre, we are delighted to be fostering the talent of playwrights,” Dr Guinever Threlkeld, head of La Trobe’s Albury-Wodonga Campus said.

“The strong range of entries from school students is especially pleasing.”

Storm is terribly good

By ERIN SOMERVILLE

meets up with a group of stormchasers who are looking to catch their break with their latest technology to get information from inside the storm.

Sounds familiar?

It’s basically Twister 18 years too late.

Cowboy storm chasers?

Check. Cars falling from the sky? Check. Beloved older character hurt in tornado alongside a dishevelled dog?

Check. Freak storm cells?

Check. Latest technology to study a storm? Check.

There is no originality, but Into The Storm is a blatant graphics spectacle, and the

tornadoes are its only star.

There is no fear of getting attached to any character who might get sucked up into the sky, as it is plainly evident the writers only use the onedimensial characters as pawns to run away from wonderfully created twisters.

You can’t help but get a little tense and enjoy the suspense as they run for their cardboard lives, though.

For a cheap thrill, head on down to Regent Cinemas to see Into The Storm.

It’s terribly good.

Into The Storm (M) Starring: Matt Walsh, Richard Armitage, Sarah Wayne Callies, Matt Deacon WHEN I was eight, all I wanted to be was a twister chaser.

You can thank Helen Hunt for that one.

The 1996 blockbuster Twister is still an all-time favourite flick of mine, so I was pretty excited when I heard there was finally another tornado movie out.

Great storm graphics, people running, and lots of wind basically sums up the 89 minutes of Into the Storm.

Okay, so the movie won’t win any awards for sophisticated storylines or characters, but if you like a good storm scene, this movie has plenty.

Set in the fictional town of Silverton in the south-west of the US, this doco-style film sees basically the town’s entire population conveniently gathered at the local high school for graduation, before a series of freak tornadoes decide to constantly mow the school down.

Some would call it a sucky situation.

Cue “Hero Dad in storm” moment when he discovers his son is not at the high school, but actually in an old mill across town doing a film project with a girl he fancies.

Meanwhile, Hero Dad

HOME AUDIO VISUAL AND HI-FI SPECIALISTS

WITH GEOFF HABERECHT OF TRU HIFI

Stirring sounds of sentimentality THE replacement of the old faithful sound system can be a sentimental change.

If you purchased well the system has been with you for more than 20 years and usually a generation of memories are attached to it.

I enjoy the challenge in recreating the same sentiment in a new unit.

The initial misconception is the new system will be all hitech and while the digital age does bring a learning curve, the quality market leaders usually take three steps where the products further down the scale attempt to look more high tech than they really are and take six steps when three would have done.

The system kept simple usually lasts.

Last week we broke a new record by updating a sound system I sold 38 years ago.

I say update as some of the sound system still held its own against its contemporaries and remained.

I find these experiences easy reasons to justify the investment in the first place.

The main benefit is you

enjoy a high level of entertainment and the aging or deteriorating process is a long way off.

The client that has gone to that trouble to invest, quite often remains oblivious to the benefit until it is time to update or change.

The factual answer is high quality audio performance equipment of today was available 40 years ago, albeit from different mediums, a fact that marketing brands fail to communicate.

The difficulty is identifying the genuine product to the retagging game.

When you walk into any store including mine you are faced with many brands some of which are what they were and what they stood for 30 years ago, others that held those views and were bought out by a competitor or an investment company, the usual result to become more profit orientated to shareholders this generally means some form of diminishing of the initial value and the product is traded on price alone.

The third is our area of concern and that is when a former leading brand closes and the

NEW

Multimedia Receiver Release

brand logo is sold, not necessarily with the patents that made the company great in the first place.

This provides many third or fourth tier companies the opportunity to fly off the back of another companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation.

Sometimes a Google or Wikipedia search will fail to identify those companies because the most important asset to these products is the public relations departments not the research and development.

If you believe price can give the game away, you may need to think again with more products traded on line and sold through auction methods where you determine the value it has made a fertile ground for this growing market.

When a company purchases the logo of a former great brand, the proprietary cosmetic uniqueness is generally part of the sale.

This format of selling is not exclusive to the audio market but for the overall retail market from tools to clothing.

The internet is a very useful tool as long as it is used with care.

Planning to move right BUYING a new home is exciting and so, too, is living in it. But relocating from one home to another can be a challenge.

The key to moving house is to plan ahead, ideally as early as possible before the day arrives when you need to shift an entire house full of furniture and whitegoods.

You should be aware on the day you successfully bid at auction, or purchase through a private sale, of the settlement period on your new house.

If not, the contract of sale specifies this settlement period, which is usually 30, 60 or 90 days. Assuming you are moving out of your old home and into your new one on settlement day, that’s how long you have to get organised.

Make a plan as soon as possible, including the important tasks to hand over your old home and take possession of your new one.

It should include key items relating to getting organised for the move – including, close to settlement day, conducting a final inspection of your new house.

The vendor must leave the home as it was when you bought it, apart from normal wear and tear.

Those rules apply to you, too.

If your house was in top condition for sale, it pays to leave it in a similar way. So mow the lawn, fix any breakages and restore it to close to how it appeared when it was sold, ahead of the handover.

“

The key to moving house is to plan ahead…

Planning ahead avoids tackling those tasks at 5am on settlement day.

If using a removal company, ask for their moving checklist. Most companies have one listing premove tasks – everything from redirecting mail, reconnecting services and changing your address with utilities.

If your removal is DIY, it pays again to be organised. Pack as many boxes as you can well ahead of the move, especially the items you don’t need to access for some time.

Many vendors will let you take measurements during the settlement period. If not, it’s worth making as many notes as possible when you conduct the final inspection, including the size of each of the main rooms in the house.

Remember to give the keys for your old house to your selling agents if they don’t have them. Collect your new keys on settlement day well before the removalists arrive.

Longing to celebrate your great new purchase? The time to open that bottle is after your move.

SEEKING A BALANCED WORK LIFE?

Search is on for coaches AFTER announcing the search was on for coaches to lead Murray United Football Club in its debut season in 2015, the response from the coaching fraternity can only be described as quite amazing.

Murray United FC Board Chair Mark Byatt said having received applications from across the Murray and Australia, a Murray United FC Coach Selection Sub-Committee undertook the arduous task of reviewing all applications, identifying choice candidates and interviewing the stand-outs.

After significant deliberation, Murray United FC is pleased to announce the following people were successful in their bids to lead our boys in 2015: Azar Levenston - Under 18 Boys Daniel Foden - Under 16 Boys James Bell - Under 15 Boys Ian Johnson - Under 14 Boys James Dexter - Under 13 Boys Jeff Ryan - Under 12 Boys

“The selection of the best coaches for the job is no mean feat. Many factors come into play when identifying who is the most appropriate,” he said.

“Experience and success is one thing, but personality, motivation and vision also played a significant role in determining who would be best to lead our teams into our first season in the NPL.” Murray United FC Technical Director Paul Millynn said the selection of coaches was incredibly exciting. “This moment represents a point when the Murray United club really starts to take shape,” he said. “Players, families and the community will begin to truly see a club structure being formed, and begin to identify what Murray United FC is going to look like in 2015.

“Still to be announced is the Senior Men's coach and Under 20 coach. Preferred candidates have been identified; however some final details need to be addressed before an official announcement.”

THE recruitment process for the director of Albury’s new $10.5 million Art Gallery commenced on the weekend.

Applications for the position were advertised Friday, and council is expecting to recruit a highly experienced, innovative and inspired person who can establish the new gallery as one of the nation’s best.

The director will be responsible for the strategic, business and operational functions of the gallery while achieving recognition as one Australia’s leading cultural institutions.

“This is one of council’s biggest and most exciting projects and we want someone with vision and experience to oversee its operations,” AlburyCity’s General Manager Frank Zaknich said.

“The director will provide leadership and guidance in the development of contemporary, innovative, high-quality experiences for visitors to the

Albury Art Gallery.”

The redeveloped gallery will open with a collection and program that focuses on contemporary art, extending its exhibition space to include over 10 spaces.

The floor space of the gallery will be increased from 832 square metres to 2050 square metres; featuring seven flexible gallery spaces, two education workshops, permanent collection storage, an accessible loading dock, a cafe and a retail store.

The redevelopment will exceed international contemporary public gallery industry standards and will provide a variety of programmable spaces to meet community and arts sector expectations.

Its dual frontage location on the main street and onto QEII Square establishes the gallery as a creative cultural hub for visitors and for locals.

Construction is well underway on the new gallery which is scheduled for completion in

June 2015. Job applications close on Friday 3 October.

A position description and supporting information is available from alburycity.nsw. gov.au/jobs.

More information about the gallery can be found by visiting alburycity.nsw.gov. au/newgallery.

Benefits of the new Albury Art Gallery, a snapshot: $27.6M in local economic benefits as a direct result of the project’s construction; A further $1.01M each year injected into the economy through ongoing employment in the arts; A $9.66 million boost to the visitor economy after its first year of operation, growing to $12.2 million after five years; and Increase gallery visitation to over 80,000 per year, with a direct and immediate effect on commercial businesses and cafes.

Cash for fighting weed wars MEMBER for Albury, Greg Aplin has welcomed an increase in funding for noxious weed control in the Riverina from the NSW Government.

“Greater Hume Shire Council who manages weed control funds for the Riverina (Lower Murray Darling, Lachlan, Murray and Murrumbidgee Catchment) has received funding of over $1.359 million this financial year, as part of the NSW Government’s $11.3 million funding allocation for the 2014'15 Weeds Action Program (WAP),” Mr Aplin said.

“This important funding will help our local weeds authority to identify and control new weeds early and increase community involvement in weed management.

“The WAP funding demonstrates the NSW Government’s ongoing commitment to the management of invasive weed species.”

Minister for Primary Industries, Katrina Hodgkinson said landholders as well as the wider community would benefit from the WAP funding.

“Weeds are a major problem for agriculture in NSW, costing the farming sector around $1.8 billion a year in control and lost production,” Ms Hodgkinson said.

“They threaten the survival of endangered plants and animals and impact on the state’s environmental sustainability.

“The NSW Liberal and Nationals Government’s invest-

ment in these weed control measures has been estimated to give a tenfold economic benefit to the state.”

The NSW Weeds Action Program has two project components - a regional program to help local weed control authorities and other stakeholders target weeds at a regional level; and a state-wide component which helps to prevent new weeds entering and spreading in NSW as well as building the capacity in the community to manage weeds.

Further information on the NSW Weeds Action Program project funding is available on the NSW Department of Primary Industry’s website at www. dpi.nsw.gov.au/agriculture/ pests-weeds/weeds/legislation.

Advance Care clarification A STORY in last week’s Albury Wodonga News Weekly, 'Planning Ahead’, stated Advance Care Planning was

established in Wangaratta. A similar forum to the Albury forum was run in Wangaratta previously, but Advance Care

Planning is an international field of work that has existed for many years.

Local Sport Panthers to dine out on Pigeons' pie?

In the action.

Jamie Sheahan and Sam Hargreave.

By SIMON CORR THE decisive gap between the top three Ovens and Murray Clubs and the rest was confirmed with Wangaratta Rovers sent packing from the competition, falling 31 points shy of Lavington in Sunday’s first semi-final.

Only Albury, Yarrawonga and Lavington remain, but it’s fair to say Albury is definitely in the box seat after belting reigning premiers Yarrawonga by 63 points in the second semi - final.

The Tigers were nothing short of phenomenal, dominating across the midfield and capitalising on the scoreboard.

Power forward Setanta O’hAilpin equalled the most goals kicked in a second semi with a bag of nine that takes him to 112 for the season. His brother Aisake was also a dominant forward, taking countless marks across half forward and delivering some long and penetrating disposals to his big “Bro”.

Next Monday’s Morris Medal favourite Brayden O’Hara was as damaging as any for the Tigers as he cruised up and down the ground getting kicks at will and finishing with five goals of his own, while co-coach Daniel Maher orchestrated many attacking plays from his run and carry down back.

If Albury are to be stopped it must be taken out of its comfort zone, something the Pigeons clearly did not do. Rather than defensively forcing Albury to change their hand the Pigeons seemed content to go head to head in a shoot-out ... the result not a good one for them.

This Sunday’s Preliminary Final decider between Lavington and Yarrawonga will not only reveal Albury’s opponent Grand Final day, I suspect it will tell us a bit about the two clubs involved.

Does Yarrawonga still possess the hunger and drive that saw them recently claim back-to-back premierships?

Will Lavington stand up and be counted when it matters most?

If Lavington are to win they need to make the most of their scoring opportunities.

The Panthers have been ordinary in front of goal, and their forwards have also struggled to work cohesively together of late. Some of the blame can lay with the delivery coming in, but I am hoping to see a more systematic set-up from Lavington talls.

Scoreboard pressure creates psychological pressure and it’s something Lavington must apply early to the Pigeons.

Adam Prior is starting to look ominous for the Panthers as his trademark contested marks are really starting to stick and looms as the real matchwinner for the Panthers.

Albury recently exposed Yarrawonga’s lack of height in defence and the duo of Prior and Koschitzke will be looking to do the same.

The Panthers general in the midfield Matty Pendergast will also be a key in Sunday’s big game.

His form of late has been outstanding and if he can impose himself on the centre clearances it will further strengthen Lavington’s chance of a victory.

Should the Pigeons wish to meet Albury in a sixth successive grand final play-off they will need their on-ballers giving star forwards Fevola and Pettifer plenty of chances.

Fevola was again at his brilliant best last week, kicking seven goals in a losing side but team-mate Kayne Pettifer was rarely sighted in an unusually poor showing.

Both players can take a game away from their opponents in the blink of an eye, with explosive

Yarrawonga will also fancy themselves, stretching the Panthers defence by pushing talented ruckman Brandon Symes into attack. Symes is an exceptional mark of the football, and a reliable kick in front of goal.

Yarrawonga’s midfield is star-studded and up with the best. Ednie, Leslie, Cooper and Bonat find plenty of the footy and rarely waste a possession.

If they are allowed enough time and space they will slice holes through a fairly watertight Panthers defence.

In selecting a winner I find myself going against form and reason. Yarrawonga will deservingly be favourites to win, but I believe the Panthers can put an end to the Pigeons’ dream of a three-peat with a hard-fought and characterbuilding win.

MY SELECTION: Lavington by seven points.

Lochy Dornauf, Shane Gaston, Matthew Pendergast and Tom Yensch.
