New website gets mobbed In a flash, word of a new website launched to support youth on the Border was out. The flashmob stopped traffic on Saturday to spread the word about myrollercoaster, which will help young people on a wide range of mental health and well-being issues.

Borella Ride By ERIN SOMERVILLE ALBURY’S Richard Borella was only eight months old when his Victoria Cross winning grandfather Albert Borella passed away, but he now feels closer to him after spending 12 days following in his footsteps. Feeling blistered and battered, Richard was able to put his feet up last week as he finished his epic journey across the outback Northern Territory in recognition of the 1000km his grandfather travelled to enlist for World War I 100 years ago. The Borella Ride was created by the Commonwealth Government through the Anzac Centenary Public Fund and the Northern Territory Government, and was the flagship Anzac Centenary commemorative event for the Northern Territory. As part of the journey, Richard walked from Tennant Creek to Renner Springs, rode a horse from Renner Springs to Katherine, hitched a ride on a mail cart to Pine Creek, and caught a train to Darwin – all as Albert did a century ago. It was a tough trek, and one that hit home the perseverance and strength of Albert Borella. “The third day was the hardest,� Richard said.
Rowan and Richard Borella follow in the footsteps of Albert across the Northern Territory. 135794 Picture: The Borella Ride, Northern Territory Government. “It was 37 degrees and we had a strong headwind, it was quite difficult.� Richard also faced some challenges that his grandfather wouldn’t have had to come across as he followed the highway instead of the telegraph line. “The road trains,� Richard said when asked about some of the fright-
ening aspects of the journey. “You’d be walking and if they’d come from behind they’d blow you along, and if they were coming the other way the wind would nearly knock you over.� Dealing with road trains on narrow roads while horseback riding – something Richard is only relatively new at
– was also unnerving. Education was a major part of the trek, with Richard and his two travelling companions stopping in at schools and communities along the way. This was one of the highlights on the journey. “All the school kids had been
learning about World War I and of my grandfather.� It was also a rewarding, challenging, and emotional journey for four generations of Borellas who followed behind Richard on his trek. “It was a really great experience, something we never dreamed of,� Rowan Borella, son of Albert, said. “It was very emotional.� Upon stopping in a roadhouse for refreshments, the family even happened to meet well-known Australian folk musician Ted Egan who quickly whipped up a song for their family’s journey. While Richard touched down again in Albury yesterday morning, he hopes his commemorative journey will help preserve his grandfather’s and the Anzac legacy for generations to come. “The opening and closing ceremony was very moving. “You get that lump in your throat and start tearing up in the eye. “He was an incredible man.� See our online gallery at http://alburywodonga.starcommunity.com.au/ for incredible and moving images of The Borella Ride.

Support, in a flash By ERIN SOMERVILLE IF THE youth won’t come to you, you must go to the youth. That’s a lesson support agencies spent Saturday morning singing and dancing about, using a surprise flashmob at Centrepoint to celebrate the launch of the youth support website myrollercoaster. myrollercoaster has been created to provide a safe place online for young people to get information, express themselves, connect with other people, explore support options and/or book a counselling appointment in an online environment they are comfortable with. The site is a program of UnitingCare Goulburn North East, developed with philanthropic assistance from the SHARE appeal, and also works with locally-based counsellors available five days a week to connect with struggling youth. The initiative came around after local youth agencies noticed young people failed to engage with their support services. “Young people these days won’t go and sit in a doctor’s surgery,” UnitingCare Goulburn North East Youth Engagement co-ordinator Sean WrayMcCann said. “They want to self-medicate now and want the answers.” Youth can use the site to book an appointment with a
counsellor, who will then call back as soon as possible for a discussion. If the youth wishes to seek face-to-face counselling, they can do so in an environment of their own choice. The site also covers a range of issues, from death of a friend or family member through to a pet, peer pressure, joining an online special interest group, or simply connecting with other young people. Mr Wray-McCann said the approach taken by myrollercoaster had all the ingredients to make a successful program, and relied more heavily on social media than traditional avenues less popular with youth to promote itself. “What does work is community engagement and good mentoring.” And as dancers and musicians from the Regional Academy of Performing Arts and Murray Conservatorium stopped bypassers in their tracks on Saturday, the team behind the service are pleased to see word about the service quickly and loudly spreading.

Died after Buckland Gap Road crash A WOMAN died after her car crashed into a tree in Beechworth on Sunday night. Police believe the woman was travelling south on the Buckland Gap Road when her car crossed to the opposite of the road onto the gravel shoulder and crashed into a tree about 6.40pm. Police and a local man were quickly on the scene and pulled the woman from the burning car. The woman was taken to the Beechworth Hospital where she later died. Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

AN HEROIC act on the Border back in 2012 performed by Senior Constable Daryl Doughty has been recognised by the Governor of New South Wales. On Friday, Sen Const Doughty was presented with a special Royal Life Saving NSW Police Award for his bravery and quick thinking in helping save a life on the side of a country road. On 13 March 2012, Sen Const Doughty was driving to Henty when he noticed two vehicles parked on
the side of the road. As he approached, he noticed a man lying on the gravel beside the roadway with two ladies by his side and a man frantically waving at him to stop. The patient, who had been in the car with his wife and daughter and complaining of feeling ill and suffering chest pains, asked his daughter to stop. She stopped the car and he got out, leaned on the bonnet and collapsed to the ground. The other man had been driving
past and stopped to see if he could help. He immediately phoned emergency services and after speaking with the operator commenced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). He continued CPR until Senior Constable Daryl Doughty arrived who then relieved him and took over CPR, which he continued for about 20 minutes until the arrival of an ambulance. Ambulance officers stabilised the man, who had apparently
suffered a heart attack, and transported him to Albury Base Hospital. High commendations have been awarded to Senior Constable Daryl Doughty for his heroic efforts performed on the day. “This was an extremely stressful and upsetting situation and he took control and did his utmost to preserve the life of a fellow human being,” a spokesperson from the Royal Lifesaving Society Australia said.

Skate park to see light of day for youth in the pipeline with Henty Community Development Committee, the Recreational Skate Park Hub Citizen Committee, and the Greater Hume Shire Youth Advisory Committee for years, but has been unable to go ahead in the past due to lack of funding. Now that is about to change. The park will be upgraded at Henty Memorial Park site, and will include a mural wall created by the town’s youth.
The project responds to the changing demographics of the town with increasing numbers of families and children with little available in terms of free recreation options for children and young people. “I think it’s a fantastic project, and one that the people of Henty have been working on for a long time,” Ms Wilton said. “It certainly will be finished this year.”

BEING able to cater to the alternative tastes of Great Hume Shire’s youth is one of the benefits of Henty’s up-and-coming skate park, according to the shire’s mayor Heather Wilton. “I think it’s very important to have a wide range of activities, they (the youth) don’t necessarily have to be interested in traditional activities like football, cricket and
netball,” Ms Wilton said. The mayor’s comments come after Member for Albury Greg Aplin last week announced Henty would be receiving $150,000 worth of ClubGRANTS to fund the town’s $187,500 skate park project. ClubGRANTS sees around 500 clubs across New South Wales allocate funds to the scheme, which is supported by local councils and the State Government. The skate park project has been

ZEKE Wighton is one young Albury student who looks forward to making a positive change for young Indigenous people like himself. As AlburyCity last week announced it would be launching its inaugural Aboriginal Youth Committee, Zeke is just one of the many students who hope to join and make a difference. Helping young Indigenous Border residents become more engaged in education and reducing discrimination were just some of the issues Zeke said he’d like to address if he made the council. “A lot of Aboriginal youth are not being allowed in stores at certain times after dark,” he told Albury Wodonga News Weekly. He also said many of his Indigenous peers needed extra
support at school. “I guess they find it a bit hard, and need some extra help.” As part of the new council, AlburyCity is seeking Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descendants aged between 12 and 24 years. The new council is a result of $30,000 worth of funding under the NSW Government’s Youth Opportunities Program. The money will assist in training the committee members in leadership, event planning and management, and enable them to co-ordinate cultural events for other young people in the community. The committee will meet every fortnight for the next 12 months and will be working in partnership with the local NAIDOC committee and the Albury Wodonga Aboriginal Community Working Party.
AlburyCity Mayor Kevin Mack says this is a fantastic initiative for local Indigenous youths to be mentored and trained in a variety of skills that they otherwise might not have access to. “They’ll learn about governance, including running meetings and taking minutes, media and marketing, public speaking and event planning and implementation,” Mayor Mack said. “Importantly, they’ll also be the voice of the city’s young people and will bring to the table the views, ideas and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in our community.” For young Indigenous people like Zeke, the $30,000 committee is a priceless opportunity. “This gives (Indigenous youth) the chance to say how we feel and be heard.”

Green Army’s victory By ERIN SOMERVILLE FOR David Malone and Meloni Litchfield, participating in the Green Army has been a rewarding and memorable experience. Both environmental science students from Charles Sturt University, the federal project has allowed them to develop skills as they completed environmental and conservation projects across the city and worked towards employment. “We’ve gotten a lot of skills from things we haven’t done before,” Ms Litchield said. These included teamwork, leadership skills, supervision skills, and even learning to fence. Some projects this round of the Green Army has taken part in include enhancing the Lower Ovens Plains, reducing threatening processes along Felltimber Creek catchment, and working on the rail trails. “It’s good to see you’re making an impact,” Ms Litchfield said. Round three applications for the the Green Army Project are now open, and 17-24 year-olds looking for work are encouraged to sign up.
The project gives participants an allowance for their work, and cuts their dependence on Centrelink as well as building new skills and workplace confidence. Green Army Albury supervisor Maria Bertoncini said at last week’s Green Army graduation ceremony that seeing the participants grow was a rewarding aspect of her work. She said participants also took ownership of their projects and developed a better connection with the environment. “There is a phenomenal amount of practical experience, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, and a chance to build confidence within themselves,” Ms Bertoncini said. “It’s an amazing opportunity and a very grassroots program, allowing people to learn and make mistakes and build confidence and develop skills that can get them into the workforce with more confidence.” Applications for Round Three Green Army projects and community groups are due 17 March.

WHETHER it’s the spices of Thai food, the flair of the French, or the colours of Africa, there’s a reason to celebrate the diverse cultures that make up Albury Wodonga at this month’s Harmony Day and Cultural Diversity Week. Working with new residents to help them settle on the Border, Lauren Salathiel sees first-hand how multiculturalism enriches the local environment in her role as volunteer co-ordinator for St Vincent de Paul Society’s Humanitarian Settlement Services. “Everybody has something to contribute,” she said. “We see people come with the most extraordinary skills and life experience, and we want to bring these all together and show people in the general community.” The local community is made up of cultures from all over the world, and includes a strong Bhutanese and Congolese refugee population. The celebrations for Cultural Diversity Week are diverse, and include Celebrate Africa, Colourfest, and even Talking Difference - a portable studio that gives members of the public a chance to discuss how race-based discrimination has affected their lives. Ms Salathiel said some of the biggest challenges foreigners could face when moving to the Border included overcoming the language

Long run-up to bike fest THE Border Bike Fest may be seven months away, but organisers are already revving their engines for the eighth annual motorfest. To kick off the countdown, the team behind the increasingly successful motorbike celebration and fund-raiser handed over $2000 to St Matthews, Albury, in appreciation of the church’s services. The Border Bike Fest is now a major fundraiser for the Lions Club of Wodonga, the Albury Wodonga Branch of the Ulysses Club Inc, and the Classic and Enthusiasts Motorcycle Club Albury/ Wodonga Branch. Involving over 100 volunteers, this event has now grown to become one of the major tourist attractions for the local area. The Border Bike Fest provides enthusiasts, and the public alike, the opportunity to showcase their own bikes as well as speak to industry professionals, and local and interstate traders. This year’s event will held on Sunday 25 October.

THE Federal Government has poured $6.9 million of funding into Alburybased expert hands to help protect the health of the Murray River and its tributaries. Albury’s Charles Sturt University Institute for Land, Water and Society secured the multi-million dollar funding last month to lead two projects and help restore the river system of the MurrayDarling. The move falls under the government’s $30 million Long-Term Intervention Monitoring Project. The main focus of the project is to monitor changes in the river and help restore the river systems. Albury-based CSU senior lecturer Dr
Skye Wassens will be leading the $3.5 million section of the Murrumbidgee River System project with the NSW Department of Primary Industries (Fisheries), University of NSW, Riverina Local Land Services and the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. While much of her work will be carried out at Narrandera on the Murrumbidgee River, she says the work will also help improve the health of the Murray, which is fed by the Murrumbidgee past Balranald. “It’s quite exciting in terms of the work we’ve done over the years in that system, and it’s great to see the funding,” said Dr Wassens, who has been involved in the project since 2008. “This five-year program means we can carry on in a similar method.”
In June 2008 the Murray-Darling Basin Commission released a report on the condition of the Murray-Darling basin, showing the Murrumbidgee River was in a very poor condition. This took into account fish stocks, with 13 of the 22 Murrumbidgee River native species scoring an extremely poor rating. Meanwhile, the Albury campus will also play a role in the $3.6 million LongTerm Intervention Monitoring Project for the Edward-Wakool River System, which will be led by the institute’s Associate Professor Robyn Watts. This section of the project will focus on a number of factors, including the fish community, water quality, and vegetation.

Albury Orthodontist named one of Australia's First Diamond Invisalign Providers. Dr Brabant recognised as one of the most experienced Invisalign Providers in the country. Albury Orthodontist Dr John Brabant has been awarded the Invisalign Diamond Provider status making him one of Australia's most experienced Invisalign providers. Invisalign is the clear alternative to braces that uses a series of clear, virtually invisible and removable aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired position, without the use of metal or wires. It combines 21st century technology and revolutionary manufacturing to customise a treatment for each individual patient. “Technology is changing the way we do things and the way we straighten teeth is no exception,” Dr Brabant said. “Now there's a virtually invisible alternative to braces, like Invisalign that make teeth straightening a more appealing prospect for a whole new market of image conscious professionals. Gone are the days when orthodontics was just reserved for teenagers, now people can feel more confident about the process of improving their smile at all ages.” Dr Brabant has been treating patients with Invisalign for many years at his practice Evolve Orthodontics based in Albury & Wangaratta and prides himself on using the latest orthodontic techniques to continue delivering the high treatment standards and personal service he offers patients and their families. Dr Brabant now lectures internationally on Invisalign to other orthodontists. There are four primary benefits of Invisalign: 1. Invisalign is nearly invisible – you can straighten your teeth without everyone knowing. 2. Invisalign is removable – you can eat and drink what you want during treatment ; you can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. 3. Invisalign is comfortable – there are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation. No metal or wires also means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments. 4. Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start – so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Invisalign is appropriate for treating adults and teens, to arrange a no-obligation consultation to discuss your treatment needs (no matter how severe or minor). Please telephone 02 6021 1288. 1175563-CB11-15

Whitsunday Islands - Queensland
An island paradise IT’S hard not to fall in love with one of Australia’s favourite island paradises. Just 240 kilometres south of the mainland, Tasmania has been leaving travellers in awe of this under-rated gem for decades. Over the spring, the team at Martin’s is inviting you to come and explore the natural wild beauty, revel in spring racing season fun, and travel back in time on this amazing journey. Start off your adventure by waving goodbye to Albury as your whizz down the Hume Freeway to board the Spirit of Tasmania. Bunker down in the cosy cabins overnight before cruising into Devonport early the next morning. Enjoy the views of the Mersey River before jumping on board Martin’s coach and exploring the resort village of Penguin, bustling Burnie, the majestic seas of Table Cap, before pulling into the western seaside town of Stanley. Stanley is filled with painted cottages, a roaring ocean, and strong fishing community that will make it a delight to visit. On Day Three head to the island’s remote western frontier and explore the Arthur Pieman Conservation Area from the Arthur River; an area which remains practically untouched by humans. The next day, head to Woolnorth Station the only property left operating from a Royal Charter from King George IV. This 22,000-hectare station is a wildlife sanctuary, and you may spy wombats, Tasmanian Devils, and perhaps even a Tasmanian Tiger! The last four to ever be captured were found on this station. The amazing secrets of the wild, western Tassie wilderness continue to be the showcase today, as you explore the famous World Heritage Listed Cradle Mountain National Park. After exploring the stunning peaks of this region, curl up at the Cradle Mountain Chateau and prepare for a tour of the park’s lakes in the morning. After your morning tour, you’ll continue to get up close and personal with some of the island’s - and the world’s - most breath-taking scenery. Feel a million miles away as your take in Macquarie Harbour ringed by mountains, cruise the Gordon River and spot 10,000-yearold Huon Pines, take a trip to the past and explore old gaolhouses and brutal penal settle-
ments, wander wharfs, dig up some fun in Queenstown, and see the tranquil Russell Falls - just to name some of the highlights. On Day Seven, roll back into the city life and soak up the relaxed vibe of Hobart. Unpack for a four-night stay in the Wrest Point Hotel and Casino that overlooks the Derwent River, and prepare for tomorrow’s shenanigans at the Melbourne Cup Day celebration.After exploring arguably Australia’s most beautiful city, don your ties and fascinators for the Melbourne Cup luncheon at Wrest Point in the Tasman Room. There is a multitude of prizes to be won and get set for an afternoon of food, wine and fun. This event is guaranteed to be a highlight of the tour. Whether you back a winner or not, the next few days day are bound to bring you good fortune as you head to the historic Port Arthur site. Up to 12,000 prisoners were kept in the prison, and its past still haunts visitors to this day. There is also a trip to the Cascades Female Factory that explores the history of female convicts. Tour the scenic Huon Valley as well, and explore Tahune Forest and see its majesty through an Airwalk. After a breathtaking few days in Hobart and surrounds, say goodbye as you head to Scamander. As you wake up on Day 13, soak in the sights for the final time as you wind your way up the Tamar River and stop by at the now-famous Beaconsfield Gold Mine. Find yourself abroad for a moment as your stumble into the Swiss-style village of Grindelwald, before crossing Cataract Gorge and arriving back in Launceston. Spend the afternoon enjoying activities from soaking in Mt Roland and even spotting monkeys, before heading back to Devonport where it all began. As you jump aboard the Spirit of Tasmania, spend the night dreaming about the magnificent hidden land slowly slipping away on the horizon behind you. Arise early to catch a glimpse of Melbourne from the sea, before rejoining the coach and heading back to Albury. To book any international or domestic holidays, or for gift ideas for the busy Christmas season, call into Martin’s Travel Group, at 66 Fallon Street, Albury, or phone (02) 6040 4400.

professional body for plastic surgeons. He served for nine years on the ASPS Council.

IN TODAY’S connected and fast-paced society, it can be challenging to find a moment to relax and simply switch off from the world. At the Albury Float Room, you’ll discover the chance to do just this in a rare and relaxing environment. The float tank creates an environment that allows the body to balance, heal and rest the senses and your mind. It’s a unique and therapeutic experience that Albury Float Room operator Bec Quinlivan is excited to share. “Clients come out feeling deeply relaxed and rested and some even feel quite peaceful, more focused and sharper,” she said. “It’s really for anyone. The young, old and anyone in between”. So far we’ve had some great results and already have clients floating regularly. The Albury Float Room uses an Australian made floatation tank. At over 1.5 metres tall and 2.3 metres long, it offers plenty of space to stretch out. Clients lie in a foot of 35 degree solution made up of water and just over 300kg of Epsom salts to create a silky dense buoyancy similar to that of the Dead Sea. It’s best to float naked but if you are not comfortable, you can wear bathers
Feel tranquil in the calming waters of the Float Room. 135521
or underwear. No matter your shape or size, the blissful state of floating will be achieved. The tank is an easily controlled and friendly environment that features an internal light and large sliding door, so if you don’t like small spaces you can have the door as open as you like. Once you feel comfortable inside though, it is easy to shut yourself away, deprive your senses and simply un-plug from the outside world. The effect on the mind of a little peace and quiet can be astonishing. Slowing down brain wave patterns and creating a blissful state only achieved just before sleep or through deep meditation. With a private shower room and access to local organic
pampering products, you’re free to enjoy the experience in your own safe and private environment. Clarity, endorphins, and a relaxed body and mind are just some of the ways you’ll be rewarded. The Albury Float Room is the only experience of its kind on the Border. Having opened the business just before Christmas in 2014, Ms Quinlivan is eager to show clients the wide range of benefits that can be achieved. “A lot of athletes and sports groups use floatation tanks including football clubs and the A.I.S. (Australian Institute of Sport) for sports recovery. “It’s also good for injuries, stress relief, rest, fatigue, chronic pain, arthritis through to just relaxing.” Float massage packages are also being offered at Albury Float Room as well as discounted regular float packages. You can experience your own private piece of paradise at Albury Float Room, 415 David Street, Albury, Monday to Saturday. For more information, phone or text 0432 206 741, or email alburyfloatroom@outlook.com or visit their page on Facebook. Parking is unlimited.

Goodbye to fears, habits
A path to healing
“People are able to heal more than they are often aware they can and this can in turn lead to greater well-being and happiness.” As the stigma surrounding counselling slowly lifts, it is important to seek help at difficult times in your life before it’s too late. “I feel people wait until they’re struggling or when their relationships are breaking down before considering having appropriate support.“ “Early intervention is very beneficial.” Even though counselling is always to meet the individual or couple where they are at in
their lives and to support them in their goal of accessing couselling, Ms Macnamara is aware of the benefits of addressing the causative level and offer more than just a band-aid solution. Next month, Jesmry Counselling Services will be hosting a retreat to allow people to immerse themselves in healing anxiety, fears and presenting challenges and awaken to their true potentiality and true selves. This retreat will be held from 17-19 April at the picturesque and tranquil Upper Murray Resort. For more information and bookings, phone (02) 6043 1232 or 0410 046 148.
CONQUERING your fears and habits and building a better frame of mind doesn’t have to be battlefield. With the professional guidance and support of Wayne Moffat at Riverina Mind Design, overcoming these hurdles in life will become much more achievable. Specialising in clinical hypnotherapy and NLP for lasting positive effects, Mr Moffat is able to help residents conquer smoking, weight problems, nail biting and hair pulling, stress, phobias, and much more. After an initial telephone consultation with Riverina Mind Designs, Mr Moffat will tailor create your session to ensure you get the most out of your time as possible. “Every session is different,” he said. “That’s why group sessions only work for a small percentage of people, because they’re not individualised.” Most smokers only need one session before they kick the

habit, with the business showing a 90 per cent success rate for client’s quitting in just one sitting. More complex problems such as depression may take up
to three to six sessions. Your practitioner will work with you throughout the process to customise treatment and achieve the quickest resolution possible. Mr Moffat says hypnotherapy is a safe and effective method that has proven results. The method sees clients sink into a state of deep relaxation to overcome triggers and issues buried in their mind. “No hypnotherapy can make anyone do what they don’t want to do. “People associate it with the comedy shows, but it’s not like that. “Some people say it feels like they’ve been asleep for 12 hours.” So why put up with your fears, bad habits, or negative thoughts a day longer?

It’s rock and roll, but the Wiggles way By TANIA PHILLIPS THE fab four of the under-fives are set to rock and roll and hit the Cube later this year. Yep Anthony (Blue Wiggle), Emma (Yellow Wiggle), Lachy (Purple Wiggle) and Simon (Red Wiggle) are on their way, and tickets are selling faster than hotcakes. Two of the three shows at the Cube on 14 May are already a sell out and only the 2.30pm show is still available (though if you miss out there is a show at Shepparton which still has tickets). They have long been the darlings of the pre-school set and even a change of personnel hasn’t stopped a whole new generation falling in love with them.
And so they are out and about and hitting regional Australia for the first time in a while bringing their brand new Rock and Roll Preschool tour out to their fans (and promoting their new CD and DVD). Of course they’re bringing their favourite friends Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus. The Rock and Roll Preschool tour kicks off in Sydney on 14 March and goes everywhere around the country through to July. This is a chance for all the Wiggly little rockers to have a chance to catch The Wiggles in more intimate venues with a tour of RSLs, Workers Clubs, Leagues Clubs and smaller en-
tertainment centres. In 2014 The Wiggles toured the US, Canada and Australia. In Australia they sold out 137 shows across every state and territory and performed to over a quarter of a million fans around the world, making The Wiggles the most successful children’s entertainment group. They won their 12th ARIA Award for Best Children’s album (Apples and Bananas) and performed at the iconic Carols in the Domain. The Wiggles’ TV series Ready, Steady, Wiggle! was a ratings buster last year driving ABC TV to rush release the broadcast of the second series of Ready, Steady, Wiggle!, airing daily on ABC4Kids at 4.25pm.
The Wiggles - Simon, Emma, Lachy and Anthony - are coming to town.
Above: A brand new show and a brand new DVD on its way. Left: The Wiggles and friends will be in Wodonga in May - tickets selling fast.

I WAS once unknowingly robbed by two teenage girls in a coffee shop. Ten minutes later, I watched on Costa’s CCTV how these girls had siphoned my wallet from my handbag as I sat mere centimetres away with my head in a book. If these teenage girls had have pulled off the theft with the style and sophistication shown by the criminal gang in Focus, I probably would have been impressed rather than a blubbering mess who had just been defeated by mere children. In Focus, we meet Nicky Spurgeon (played by Will Smith), who turns being a petty thief and conman into a multi-million dollar art form. After being an unsuccessful scam victim of blonde bombshell Jess (Margot Robbie), Spurgeon takes her on as an apprentice as part of his highly-oiled ring of cons. Jess’s enthusiasm pays off, and before she knows it Spurgeon has her working at one of crime’s most lucrative venues: the New Orleans Super Bowl weekend. In a well-choreographed montage, the crime ring take unsuspecting revellers for millions as they swipe cash, watches, jewellery, and identities all in the blink of an eye. As Jess’s flair for robbery grows, so too does her relationship with Sturgeon. However, the audience soon realises no one
is safe from being conned, as Spurgeon takes an unwarranted gamble with the ring’s earnings and puts Jess in the firing line and ultimately leaving her heartbroken. It is another three years before this pair reunite, this time trackside on the Buenos Aires Formula One scene as Spurgeon brews another scam. But for the first time, Spurgeon isn’t the only one doing the conning, and knowing who to trust becomes a dangerous game. The screenplay is crisp and moves at a snappy pace, but allowing enough time for characters to develop. Smith puts in a strong performance as he casts his traditional cheeky quips and comedic swagger aside for a more adult role, while Robbie carries the story with her complex portrayal of emotions to make the audience empathise with her, proving she is much more than just a pretty face who happened to make a break from Neighbours. The movie is clean, fresh, and has enough laughs and endearing characters to balance the drama. Visually, the movie is a surprising delight, too, with the film set in colourful locations often overlooked by Hollywood in return for more mainstream cities. Check out Focus for a sharp and enjoyable watch this autumn. It will certainly make you think twice about leaving your handbag on the floor of a coffee shop again.

Ballet lovers By TANIA PHILLIPS THE ballets of Tchaikovsky are much-loved around the world, but probably no more than in the composer’s native Russia. His work are considered great masterpieces and treated with reverence, so the chance to see a top Russian ballet company performing one of them is something special indeed. And the fact that they are coming here to the Albury Entertainment Centre is even better. Grand International Concerts proudly presents the welcome return to Australia of Moscow Ballet La Classique performing the spectacular masterpiece and ballet’s most loved fairytale, Tchaikovsky’s “Sleeping Beauty”.
The great success of Russian Theatre is undoubtedly classical ballet and the highly-acclaimed and respected Moscow Ballet La Classique was established in 1990 by its current artistic director Elik Melikov and have earned the reputation for their internallyacclaimed ballet skills, lavish costumes and magnificent stage sets. Mr Melikov said it was great to be coming back to Australia again after bringing the other great Tchaikovsky classic The Nutcracker Suite to Australia in 2013 - and he hopes to bring the other great ballet, Swan Lake, down the track. This time around they will be here with a team of 50 people, on stage and behind the scenes, beautiful brand-new costumes and sets.
And he said while other groups may have a touring group - the dancers on stage in Albury will be the same as those you will see on stage in Moscow in fact after touring New Zealand, the company will go home to Russia and perform for their local admirers. Moscow Ballet La Classique bring the traditional beautiful choreography of more than a century ago back to the stage, but with fresh young dancers.

Homes&Property �� Albury Wodonga
With lounge room to move By ERIN SOMERVILLE THIS home is for the entertainers, the pleasure-seekers, and the busy family. The home’s large lounge room gives you more space than you could dream of for a place to sprawl out in and relax. Half of this L-shaped room has been converted into your very own theatre room. There are speaker points throughout this space, as well as a wall mount for your television, so all you have to do is kick up in a recliner, heat up the popcorn, and bring the entertainment to you. In fact, the entertainment system continues throughout the home, with speakers in most rooms ensuring no-one misses out on the good times. The large lounge room is kept warm in winter with a gas heater, as well as split-system cooling for the warmer months. The renovated kitchen is generous in size, and sits in the heart of the home. There is plenty of cupboard space, and modern Miele appliances. The kitchen overlooks the back patio and has plenty of natural light. The house is perfect for larger families wanting to give all their children a separate bedroom away from the master suite. Downstairs are two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, as well as a third that could potentially be used as a study or guest room for those who have a smaller family.
The bathroom is basic, and could do with a simple makeover, but is functional with a vanity, built-in bath, and shower. A separate toilet is next door. Upstairs is where the peace and quiet happens. Away from the rest of the home, you’ll relax in your comfortable nest above, including your spacious master bedroom suite with plenty of built-in storage space. Adjoining the bedroom is a shared ensuite, with a very large shower that could be converted into a double, a toilet, and vanity. Sharing the bathroom is another comfortable bedroom, with a built-in wardrobe, which would prove ideal for a nursery or a younger child who doesn’t like to be too far away from mum and dad. The upstairs area contains split-system cooling, as well as a fan. Back downstairs, the house’s back room is a delight. A massive rumpus area makes this place an entertainer’s delight, with plenty of room for a pool table, a play space, or whatever your imagination conceives. Completed with a great kitchenette, all with a sink, room for a fridge, cupboards, and even wine glass racks, this is the place where kids of all ages come to play. This fun room opens up onto the back undercover patio area, which is a proven hit year round. This area is shady in the summer, and a wood combus-
tion fire means you don’t have to retreat from the good times in the winter months. With shelves and outlets available for a television or sound system, and even room for a hot tub, this home could easily become the entertaining hit of the neighbourhood. And with access onto both of the home's kitchens, playing host will always be a breeze. The laundry at the back of the home, just sitting off the rumpus room, has plenty of space, and deep cupboards capable of holding most of your clutter. The tiered house yard is simple to maintain, and has a garden shed for storage. An artificial turf patio area, privately sheltered from the street at the side of the home, also provides a nice change of scenery, while a stretch of lawn out the front is another great place to soak up the sun. While the home only has one covered carport, it can park three cars in the driveway with its two extra parking bays. The home continues to prove a hit for those with a young family, with the school bus stop literally at the bottom of the driveway. With a GP just across the road, and the hospital just down the corner, this West Albury gem will be snapped up before you know it. So call the team at Wodonga Real Estate today and take a look.

Dream is still alive on rates FOR those dreaming of owning their first home, confirmation by the Reserve Bank this week that rates will remain on hold is welcome news. Statistics showing a drop in the proportion of first home buyers in the housing market in recent years may have led some to believe that dream was out of reach. But while there are housing affordability concerns, first home buyers need not abandon hope. Interest rates are now at record lows, making it an excellent time to obtain finance, and lock in a competitive loan. There’s also the option of paying off a home loan more quickly while rates are low. And there are still plenty of affordable properties out there - if you know where to look. In some areas - the Central Goldfields, Horsham, Greater Shepparton and Colac-Otway, for example - there are properties for less than $200,000. The key is doing your research. Decide on your preferred areas and research property prices for the kind of home you hope to buy. Find those properties on the internet, then follow up and find out what they actually sell for. Get to know the local agents and talk to them about what
you can afford and what is available. Make a list of your priorities - all the things you want from your home and location, noting those which are musts and which you would be willing to compromise on if you had to. Check the prices of all the houses you view and note the differences between them. While local factors such as location and the area’s infrastructure including highways and local roads - and the quality of the home, all impact on how much a house sells for, median prices are a useful comparative tool and a good starting point. These median prices - that is, the midpoint of the sales in each area are available free at reiv.com.au If you discover your preferred area or areas are beyond your reach, don’t despair. Consider your options: can family members help you raise a larger deposit? Can tighter budgeting mean you canafford to pay a little more? And hold on to your dream don’t be deterred by the publicity. After all, by searching your preferred area and keeping an eye on the market, you’re more likely to find the best home to fit your budget in 2015.

tral Ballarat, where buyers are looking to enjoy the provincial lifestyle and still be within commuting distance of Melbourne, were in the top 10 for capital growth inVictoria - Melbourne suburbs included - in the most recent quarter. Its December quarter median price of $325,000 for a three-bedroom house was up 10.2 per cent, while over the 12 months, the increase was 14 per cent. Other strong median house price performance for three-bedroom homes in 2014 included Apollo Bay, Benalla, Buninyong, Bendigo, Drysdale, Geelong, Metung and Woodend. It’s important to note though that the number of sales varied across these areas, with fewer sales recorded in the smaller locations. But this new data is a very helpful reference tool for house hunters looking to enter the market in coming months. While it is always important to realise that an area’s median price does not necessarily mean that is the price every home sells for, it provides an indication of the size of homes and locations within larger towns in particular that are attracting the highest median prices. The house and apartment median price information - by size and area - is now available on the REIVwebsite: reiv.com.au.

Solid price gains all over NEW REIV data shows solid price gains across mid-sized houses and units in regional Victoria last year- while in Melbourne, larger homes saw greater price growth. Across the state’s towns and cities, two-bedroom houses delivered the greatest gains with median prices up 6.6 per cent in the past 12 months. This compares to growth of about six per cent for three-bedroom houses in regional areas. Meanwhile, in Melbourne, inner and middle suburban buyers showed a clear preference for larger - three and four-bedroom houses. It was a similar story for units and apartments. In regional areas, smaller units saw the greatest median price growth, while in the city buyers opted for larger units and apartments. In Melbourne, three-bedroom homes showed the strongest 2014 price growth - whereas across regional Victoria three-bedroom units grew at a lesser rate (4.6 per cent) than two-bedroom (5.1 per cent growth). And one-bedroom units led the way, delivering 6.1 per cent median price growth over the year. Given the importance of factors such as location, nearby infrastructure and the quality of the home, it is no surprise that there were great variations across the state. Three-bedroom homes in cen-

Local Sport Seals to make WAVES WAVES hosted some of the country’s best water polo players at the weekend as the fifth round of the National Water Polo League kicked off at the facility. The Victorian Seals took on the Cronulla Sharks in what promises to be a big month of water polo on the Border. The National Under-14 girls championships will be held early next month. Among the players was Olympic bronze medallist and Victorian Seals representative Rowie Webster, who was on hand for the Under-14s announcement last September. She was joined by fellow bronze medallists Holly Young and Nicola Zagame playing for the Cronulla Sharks, while the Seals were strengthened by Australian goalkeeper and Olympian James Stanton along with Matt Gronow, Lachlan and Blake Edwards. The region has four players in the Seals’ sides including Brooke Dickie, Bridget Johnson, Alhana Hofer and Trent Remington. Victorian Seals chief ex-
ecutive officer Steve Blunt said bringing the game to a regional centre was important for the sport and development of young athletes in local competitions. “It’s important to bring the games to Wodonga so we can showcase an Olympic sport and inspire young athletes to play national league, and to also use the fantastic WAVES facilities, thanks to the support of Wodonga Council,” Blunt said. “The NWPL games are scheduled into the first round of the local Ovens and Murray finals series, and the 14 and Under National Championships and All Star games will be at the end of the finals, so the two major competitions are bookending an important part of the local season. “From a Seals perspective, it’s very important for us to be in the Ovens and Murray area, which has a great history of producing elite athletes across many sports, and we want those athletes involved in water polo and our club.” See our online photo gallery of the water polo action.

Captain’s unbeaten knock stands out By TANIA PHILLIPS EAST Albury is set to take on Wodonga in the Cricket Albury Wodonga Provincial First Grade semi-final this weekend while defending premiers St Patricks are up against Tallangatta. A solid 76 not out by captain James McNeil has steered East Albury to victory over Lavington at Alexandra Park at the weekend. East Albury made a formidable score, declaring its innings at 3/191 with opener N. Hanlon unbeaten on 53 and Mahmood making 42. In reply, Lavington saw its finals hopes disappear all back in the pavilion for just 84 with T. Hargreave top scoring with 34 as Albury’s C. White ripped through the top order to take 5-25 off 14.5 overs with McBridle taking 4-19. In-form team Tallangatta defeated Wodonga in a tight one at Kelly Park. Tallangatta amassed a total of 180 from 70.4 overs and in reply Wodonga was all out for 175 with J. Weighell finishing with 4-32. St Patricks went through to the finals with an impressive 9-278 while in return North Albury was all out for 201 after a valiant effort at Bunton Park.

Border makes the grade by CRAIG MCMILLAN - BENDED ELBOW CYCLING TEAM A SOLID contingent of Border riders made the journey to Griffith over the weekend to compete in the second leg of the Tour of the Riverina. Raced over a fast 60km out and back course, with riders segmented into handicapped groups to ensure all riders remain in contention for the win until the end. With 17 minutes between the front and last group to leave, all riders fought hard to work to the front of the race and compete for the prize money and series points. The front two groups formed an alliance with 20km remaining to ensure the faster back groups were kept out of contention with Paul Burns and Terry Halpin of the Border prominent in the action, withTerry finishing fast behind Wagga Wagga winner Daniel J. Addison in 4th place. The Fastest Time prize was hotly contested by the Elite riders in the final group, with Border riders Declan Gregory, Aaron Moffat and Angus Harris narrowly outsprinted by Wagga Wagga speedster Peter Treloar. The penultimate round of the Bended Elbow Time Trial Series saw a number of outstanding times resulting in riders moving up the leader board with personal bests. Wangaratta’s Tully Lyster continued to impress, winning the Men’s and Masters categories with a time of 22.13 from Aaron Moffat 22.25 and Charly McMillan 22.46. Visiting NRS rider Tim Guy took over a minute off the fastest standard bike record with an impressive 23.15, with Kirrilie De Athridge winning the women’s in 27.58. The big mover on the night was B Grade leader Lindsay French who took a massive minute off his personal best with a 24.44. The final night of racing starts at 6.15pm at the corner of Old Barnawartha and McFarlands Road, each Thursday night until 12 March. Sign on starts at 5.45pm and all abilities are welcome.
