One big false alarm POLICE are urging people to mindful of making potentially harmful comments on social media after it was revealed that last week’s alleged sexual assault on a local teenager by three men did not occur.

The revelation on Friday evening has been met with anger and frustration by many in the community, some of who have vented their thoughts via social media and online news outlets.

“The hype on social media is not warranted,” Albury LAC Inspector Scott Russell said.

“People are making these types of comments and don’t know the full circumstances around the investigation.

“There is no use getting angry on social media, we’ve moved on from it.”

Police announced on Friday eve-

ning that the reported sexual assault of a teenage girl in Albury earlier this week had concluded.

Police were told the 17-year-old girl was dragged into a bush and sexually assaulted after being confronted by three men while walking across the Dean Street footbridge about 6.30pm on Tuesday, April 28.

Detectives from Albury Local Area Command have conducted extensive inquiries since the reported incident, including forensic testing, and have spoken to a number of people.

“The investigation has now finalised,” the police media statement read on Friday evening.

“Police are no longer seeking three men and no further action is anticipated.”

Local police are not using the term

fake report, but cannot confirm the full events surrounding the conclusion of the investigation.

The assault was a large talking point in the community last week, with COMFIT images of the alleged attackers having been shared extensively on social media, while many women even reported taking their evening walks inside a gym rather than on the streets.

The revelation also comes after Albury’s Mayor Kevin Mack received national criticism after he discouraged women to walk alone as it could be an “invitation” to be taken advantage of.

The remorseful mayor apologised for his comments on Friday afternoon, when his full apology was reported online by Albury Wodonga NewsWeekly.

“On reflection, my focus and my choice of words was poor, and for that

I’m extremely remorseful,” Cr Mack said as part of his apology.

“I absolutely and categorically support women and their rights, and believe violence against women is totally unacceptable in any form, and to that end I encourage the community as one to support this and prevent this.”

Women’s support agencies are now hoping the incident will not deter women from reporting sexual assaults or domestic violence to the proper authorities.

“One of the biggest barriers is women coming forward,” Women’s Centre Albury-Wodonga acting manager Peta Pitman said.

“There is a fear they won’t be believed.

“Women should report these events if they should happen.

“Police will take it seriously.”

Ms Pitman said the alleged assault that shook the community last week also brought to surface discussion of women’s safety.

“It has created conversation in the community about this.

“The community stood up and said we don’t want this happening in our community, and that women should be able to go about life without fear of this happening.

Ms Pitman said last week’s event also made the community re-examine the attitudes of violence against women.

“It was a chance to stop and realise that this isn’t how a community should be and people who are perpetrating these crimes should be responsible.”

It is believed the teenager won’t face criminal charges.

Close-up view of Anzac Cove

By MONIQUE KUZEFF “I PICTURED myself in their shoes, running with a 20-kilo pack, a rifle in both hands charging towards gunfire up the steep, rugged hill.”

This was the vision St Mary MacKillop College Year 12 student Bede McLaurin had when he looked around Anzac Cove at Gallipoli.

Last week, four students from St Mary MacKillop College returned from an eight-day trip to Gallipoli as part of the Anzac 100th Centenary Commemoration.

Launching their trip on a 14-hour flight and an early and lengthy bus trip to Istanbul, they reached Gallipoli for Anzac Day where they immersed themselves in the Turkish atmosphere.

Student Catherine Bell said seeing the beaches, sites, and graves brought to life what they as students had been reading about, and it made them perceive the Anzacs as real people rather than just names on pages.

The idea of not being known was quite tragic to student Therese Horsfall, who said the Anzacs gave their lives without the intention of personally being acknowledged for their service.

“We saw cemeteries everywhere, cemeteries upon cemeteries, upon bodies upon tragedies upon everything,” Therese said.

“On the fourth day it struck me when I was just sitting there and I saw this enourmous cemetery - there

A moving dawn in Turkey. 138526 Pictures: COURTESY OF ST MARY MACKILLOP COLLEGE were so many people who died for us who people don’t even know about.

“I saw a photo of this 16-year-old boy and all it said on it was ‘duty done’ - it was incredible to sum up his life in literally two words.”

Student Kate Whitehead said what struck her the most was how the trenches in Gallipoli remained so untouched, and how it made her think about the number of soldiers who died in those trenches.

“We walked around the trenches

so peacefully but at the same time we were aware of the fighting and dying that went on there,” Kate said.

Accompanying teacher Ross Miller mentioned the amount of respect the Turks had for Australians.

“We are really firm friends over there,” Mr Miller said.

The Turks looked after them carefully and put in great effort to assure the group knew that Gallipoli was a special place which they respected and cared for, Therese said.

The group’s cultural experience was further enhanced as they took a walk through the spice market in Istanbul.

“It was just very cool because it is so foreign to us,” Therese said.

The trip opened the students’ eyes to the reality of what happened on the ground in Gallipoli. They said the trip had changed the way they would now perceive Anzac Day here in Australia.

Therese said Anzac Day would be different to her because in some respects she was more aware of what the soldiers had suffered and what they were looking at.

“It’s not just a day in which we all turn up and sit around and feel a little bit cold, it's a day that we remember that not only did those people die in their time, but they died for us and our time.

“These values that the Anzacs gave up their lives for are not lost, because these values appoint themselves through the nation now, and they define us now.”

Reprieve on ATO jobs

The Albury ATO office is expected to save casual positions for the next 12 months. 138593 Picture: ADAM WILSON cut 4400 jobs nationally, according to the CPSU. The first outsourcing is expected to begin in September, with the full transition to take around 12 months.

“Right now we are considering what other work can be introduced into the Albury office as we know that we have a good workforce here,” Albury-based Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson said.

“Last week we ran an average of 200 shifts per day in our capture processing area.

“Based on similar events in other sites, there is strong likelihood of other work being introduced.”

Ms Anderson said the ATO remained committed to Albury and that casual staff at the ATO’s Albury office would remain in the casual pool.

“Where required, staff will be al-

located shifts to address the business priorities across the ATO.” Ms Anderson said the ATO employed over 600 casuals in the Albury office and they worked on a variety of jobs, including capture processing, debt collection, exceptions processing and finance activities.

The number of shifts offered depends on the time of the year and available budget.

MAMA the home of art

By MONIQUE KUZEFF INTRODUCING Albury’s new MAMA - the Murray Art Muesum Albury - whose new name depicts the changes of the redeveloped Albury Regional Art Gallery.

The name has the full backing of the MAMA Advisory Committee, and was revealed last Wednesday by AlburyCity Mayor Kevin Mack and MAMA Advisory Committee Chair Dr Guinever Threlkeld.

“We wanted a name which stood alone, without having to speak out the entire name, and something that people would remember in short form,” Dr Threlkeld said.

“We’re calling the new facility an art museum. An art museum owns a collection, commissions new work, is involved in education and the development of the community, and is a much bigger enterprise than a gallery.”

The naming of the gallery is a step closer to seeing it opened towards the end of 2015.

Dr Threlkeld said she envisioned MAMA as a destination for visitors from the region, surrounding communities, interstate, and international.

“We’re going to have a program of exhibitions that will reflect both this community but also the national arts scene and international art, so MAMA will be a way of people remembering (the gallery).”

The name MAMA references the location of the art museum, and the connection it has with artists and audiences throughout Albury and the general Murray region.

Cr Mack said the old name did not reflect the new facility, and that MAMA would make its mark on and put Albury on the progressive arts map.

“A new name is all about the new destination and a new opportunity, and this is what it is, it's a great opportunity,” Cr Mack said.

“I think a lot of people attach a lot of emphasis to acronyms and I think

A range of activities including forums, production and development of communications, promotion of education opportunities and the evaluation of these initiatives and interventions will be supported.

The community grants are part of the Andrews Labor Government’s $45.5 million action plan to reduce the supply, demand and harm of a drug that is ruining lives and destroying communities.

The Labor Government’s ice action plan was developed on the advice of the Premier’s Ice Action Taskforce, which brought together Victoria Police and legal, health and youth experts.

“Too many lives are being

Drink driving charges TWO men were charged and will appear in court after allegedly being caught drink-driving in Albury over the weekend.

At 2.05am on Sunday, a 28-yearold male was found driving in Lavington with a mid-range PCA of .119. He was issued with a court attendance notice.

Later that day, police charged a 21-year-old driver on Wodonga Place who returned a positive PCA reading of .114. His licence was suspended on the spot and will face charges in court.

Banned driver A DRIVER who isn’t legally able to drive until 2022 was allegedly caught behind the wheel by police on Saturday.

The 24-year-old female driver was pulled over by police at 7.45pm on Pemberton Street and found to be driving while disqualified. Inquiries showed she wasn’t allowed back on the road until 20 May, 2022. The woman will face court.

Police detected another disqualified driver on the road at 1.35am Sunday morning. The 20-year-old man was found driving in Wodonga Place, and will also face local court.

Intruder scare MAMA director Jacqui Hesley, Maree Cables, Albury mayor Kevin Mack and MAMA Advisory Committee Char Guinever Threlkeld spell out the new name of Albury's art gallery. 138361 Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE you can associate a lot of language with MAMA.” Dr Thelkeld said the new art museum would be attractive to its audi-

ences not only for its architecture, but for its modern approach to art.

“Its going to be a really modern enterprise,” Dr Threlkeld said.

Grants to fight ice storm COMMUNITY groups in northern Victoria can now apply for grants of up to $10,000 to combat ice in their local area, Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced last week.

The grants come as part of the Andrews Labor Government’s $500,000 pledge to fund grassroots community ice action groups across regional and rural Victoria, including the Benambra, Shepparton, Ovens Valley, and Euroa districts.

The funding will allow community members to come together for the first time to develop local solutions in the fight against ice, and for other groups to build on existing successful locally-based responses.

Drugs detected SUNDAY was a busy day for police as they nabbed a number of Albury residents allegedly in possession of illegal drugs.

At 12.45am, a 19-year-old was arrested in Dean Street for carrying a small amount of ecstasy.

Less than an hour later, a 20-yearold was found to be carrying ecstasy in a licensed premises in Dean Street, and was also issued with a notice to attend court.

Police again made another drug arrest at 2am on a 48-year-old male who was in possession of cannabis on Kemp Street in Lavington.

At 8.30pm on the same day, a 32-year-old man on Wagga Road in Lavington was found in possession of ice. All men were issued with court notices.

Albury LAC Inspector Scott Russell praised police efforts in taking some drugs off the local streets.

“It’s good police work," he said.

“Police are pro-actively patrolling known areas where drug offences are being committed.“

By ERIN SOMERVILLE HUNDREDS of local casual positions that were jeopardised by the Australian Tax Office’s move to outsource its paper processing department are expected to remain within the ATO for at least another year.

The ATO has given a 12-month commitment to provide around 350 casual staff members affected by changes in the paper processing department work within the wider ATO office, according to the Community and Public Sector Union.

The agreement to save the casual positions comes after staff were told last week that 63 permanent jobs in paper processing would be moved to carrying out alternative positions.

Community and Public Sector Union spokesperson Julian Lee said saving casual positions was important to the livelihood of hundreds of Albury ATO employees.

Many have worked in casual ATO positions for a decade.

“This means for these people these jobs, casual or otherwise, are important for their livelihood in the community,” Mr Lee said.

“We are hopeful that the ATO can deliver in its commitment to find work for these people.

“Work such as this is important for Albury and the wider community.”

The ATO announced it would begin outsourcing its paper processing department after a 30 per cent drop in the number of paper income tax lodgements made last year, as well as a drop in other paper-based interactions.

In the past 18 months the ATO has

Briefly

ruined by ice - it’s a devastating drug, with tragic consequences in our local community,” Ms Symes said.

“We’re taking action now, giving users the treatment they need, families the support they deserve and coming down harder on those who sell this drug on our streets.

“The Andrews Labor Government’s Ice Action Plan recognises that the only way we can beat ice is by working with the locals.

“These grants will lead to plans that are best suited for our community.”

More information on Community Ice Action Group grants is available at: www.ice.vic. gov.au.

RESIDENTS in Bralgon Street have scared off an intruder who attempted to break into their home on Sunday.

At 11.15pm an unknown youth described to be around 14 to 15 years of age attempted to gain entry to the residence by cutting through the flyscreen. The teen was disturbed by the resident and fled the scene. Police are continuing their investigation.

Urban Square takes off well

By ERIN SOMERVILLE

TAFE community services teacher Di Sutherland with students Lyn Horn and Tim Carter at Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE the community forum to tackle domestic violence. 138579

Family violence on the Border

By ERIN SOMERVILLE THEY might not have yet graduated, but Albury TAFE Community Services students are already proving they’re eager to make a difference.

The students last week hosted a free community forum to address domestic and family violence in the area, aimed at raising awareness and providing support and information.

With crime statistics showing domestic violence is continuing to remain a consistent crime on the Border, organisers are hoping the forum will help empower the community in the fight against the quiet crime that tears families apart and even

claims lives. “Everyone has a role in supporting victims and families,�

TAFE community services teacher Di Sutherland said.

This was evident in the many different agencies and stakeholders who attended the conference, including police, council, a partner sexual violence specialist, charity, and education. “What we’re doing is raising awareness of the impact domestic violence has on the community,� Albury Wodonga Family and Domestic Violence Committee secretary Fiona Fenton said. “We’re hoping to raise awareness and get the message

out there that this is something everyone is responsible for. “It’s a huge problem. There is no easy fix.�

Students told Albury Wodonga News Weekly that early intervention, education, and a strong support network was a key step in helping tackle the problem. “This is about raising more awareness, but also enables for these agencies to network,� student Tim Carter said. ‘We’re very grateful everyone came.�

The forum was created through the help of a $1000 NSW Family and Community Services grant.

WODONGA’S Junction Place development is showing no signs of slowing after its Urban Square section was officially opened last week.

The $1.75 million Urban Square project that sits on the former Wodonga railway station site was largely funded by the Victorian Government, and is expected to enhance the city’s centre and cater to its growing population and employment prospects.

It is the first of Junction Place’s public space project now finished and forms part of Australia’s largest regional urban renewal project.

The Victorian Government’s property development agency Places Victoria is already looking ahead though, and has called for development proposals for the next stage of construction.

The Expression of Interest process launched last week called for submissions for all or part of the land within a number of precincts at Junction Place. “This Expression of Interest process is a really important step in the revitalisation of central Wodonga,� Places Victoria’s general manager Precincts Simon Wilson said. “It provides an opportunity to be part of regional Australia’s largest urban renewal project and we hope to attract a range of new development opportunities to the site.�

Mr Wilson said the Junction Place project would double the size of Wodonga’s CBD, bringing new life to the

All developer and investor submissions must be in line

with the community vision for Junction, which includes retail, entertainment, cafes, and public open spaces in central Wodonga.

Residential homes are also a possibility.

Human rights call

By MONIQUE KUZEFF “FORCING Aboriginal people off their land is a violation of human rights.”

This is what Albury Aboriginal Protest Co-ordinator Leonie McIntosh stated before the commencement of the rally in Albury last week.

The rally marked the second call to action in Albury to stop the forced closures of Aboriginal communities in Western Australia by the Federal Government.

Ms McIntosh said there were other communities whose sacred sites were also being affected throughout Australia.

“This rally is not only to support our brothers and sisters, aunties and uncles from Western Australia but to show support to all of our Aboriginal nations across Australia,” Ms McIntosh said.

“The government proposes to close communities of 100 residents or less, or basically it wants to destroy any community with less than 15 permanent dwellings.

“They’ve already started doing these actions, they’ve already destroyed two communities and bulldozed those, but where in the media do we hear of this?”

The office of Federal Member for Farrer Sussan Ley acknowledged that mediation between Western Australia and the local indigenous communities needed to be undertaken before any further action.

“Our understanding is this is essentially a matter for Western Australia, which wants to ensure taxpayer funded services are achieving the outcomes they are designed for. That said, the Federal Minister for Indigenous Affairs is encouraging WA to consult and talk widely with all local communities before any decisions are taken,” a spokesperson from the member’s office said.

Local Indigenous Pastor Darren Wighton said the closure of remote Aboriginal communities was against human

rights and believed it was not the solution to the problem regarding isolation in the outback.

It’s not just about moving our people off their land into more urbanised areas, it’s more about getting people off the land because of what’s under the land it’s about a land grab,” Mr Wighton said.

“It’s not acceptable and we need to find a better solution, a more consolidative solution that involves everyone.”

Ms McIntosh said this national rally was seeing an outstanding amount of support from not just a national group, but also an international group.

“We are coming together all across

the world to show support to our Western Australian brothers and sisters.

“In fact we’ve got protests and rallies happening in France, Vancouver in Canada, Berlin in Germany, and Los Angeles in the United States, as well as seven protests in New Zealand and a lot more places.”

Ms McIntosh said over 150 Aboriginal communities would be displaced if the government proceeded to close down the communities.

“Keep our people on our land, we are strong as nations and we are strong on our land – we never gave them up and we are not going to give them up now.”

IT WILL be all paws for a good cause at the annual Million Paws Walk next weekend.

This event held by the Albury RSPCA and volunteers is an opportunity for you, your family, and your canine to get out and about for a social Sunday at Hovell Tree Park.

There will be stalls to browse, prizes to win, pet shows to watch,and activities to participate in.

Treasurer of Albury RSPCA branch Alison Parry said this event allowed animal lovers to spend some quality time with their pets and family, while also engaging in other activities.

“It calls for a fun day out with your pets and a walk through a lively part of Wodonga and Albury, beside the Murray and under the bridge,” Ms Parry said.

“The event hosts competitions including the tallest, smallest, shortest and best-dressed dog, as well as the dog with the waggiest tail, and the pet who looks most like its owner.”

There will also be dog games, free vet checks, information stalls, and dog training exhibitions and advice.

Ms Parry said the aim of the event was to raise awareness in relation to the work of RSPCA. “Through this event we want to highlight what RSPCA does for animals,” Ms Parry said.

Some of these RSPCA focused programs include Foster Care, Dog Rehabilitation, and Pets of Older Persons (POOPs).

The 5km walk will commence at 11am from Hovell Tree Park on Sunday, 17 May and will follow alongside the iconic Murray River. Registration opens from 9.30am.

Look good, feel better with Creed

Youth spring into action

By MONIQUE KUZEFF THE Thurgoona Youth Space is officially in action, and is calling out for a strong team of young people to form a committee and help make a difference in the community.

It is an exciting new opportunity for the youth to forge their own ways by utlising their interests and skills to create projects and ideas which support both their community and their future endeavours.

Thurgoona Community Centre co-ordinator

Sherylyne Moran said the new youth space was going to have many various functions including it being a meeting place for the youth committee to develop their leadership skills and be involved in other youth-related activities.

“It runs along the model of the AlburyCity Youth Council where the youth committee identify the needs of their fellows and come up with ways to create events or address issues,” Ms Moran said.

The youth space was created because Thurgoona has been identified as having a relatively

young population and its quite a distance in to town for young people, Ms Moran said.

“Thurgoona is actually a younger community than Albury and Wodonga communities and it is a growing place too,” she said.

“Youth can be a little bit isolated because of the lack of public transport.”

Ms Moran said the Youth Space requires voluntary assistants to work with the youth which is a great opportunity for local residents to volunteer their time to engage with youth in the area.

“CANCER treatment is a dramatic time for people and can really take a toll on the body and self-confidence.” That’s how volunteer co-ordinator of Look Good...Feel Better program Rosemary Creed has described just part of the battle with cancer.

Ms Creed said the Look Good...Feel Better program was established to support women undergoing or about to undergo cancer treatment by helping them boost up both their self-confidence and self-image.

“The aim is to help people with their skin care, make-up, wigs and hat gear, and to get them to become comfortable in their own skins again, during and after cancer treatment.”

With Wodonga being only one in three places in North-East Victoria that operates radiotheraphy treatment, Look Good...Feel Better welcomes all cancer types and does not exclude Ms Creed said.

The program runs in the morning from 9.30am to noon at the Murray Valley Hospital in Albury every six weeks, and is completely free of charge.

Ms Creed said it was a fun and social morning where volunteers from the cosmetic and beauty industry gave out tips on skin care and make-up for cancer sufferers along with a free cosmetic pack followed by morning tea.

“Hair loss is a typical side effect of chemotherapy and so we show the participants creative ways of styling wigs, hats and scarfs and how to make their eyebrows look fuller again.

“The volunteers demonstrate the skin care and make-up in stages and then the participants do it themselves with the volunteers there to help.”

Look Good...Feel Better welcomes friends of participants who would like to come along for support.

Motorists are being reminded that speed zones have changed in Thurgoona. 138542 Picture: ADAM WILSON

Time town slowed down

THURGOONA is slowing down with a change of speed limits introduced throughout the area.

The speed limits of four major roads were reconsidered during a thorough community consultation last year, with the removal of 70km/h speed zones being a significant change to the area after the community made it clear they wanted the speed zone changes.

Chairman of AlburyCity’s Engineering and Works Committee Cr Henk van de Ven said the expansion of Thurgoona in recent years had seen the trans-

formation of rural areas adjoining major roads, into urbanised areas.

“The new zones reflect the views of local residents who told council they wanted change,” Cr van de Ven said.

“The feedback from the community consultation was reviewed as a part of the overall process and changes were agreed to by NSW Roads and Maritime Services.

“The changed speed zones will ensure there is a balance between safety and efficiency for road users.”

Cr van de Ven said it was important to set out consistency and to reduce the number of

speed zones.

The changes to Thurgoona speed zones include: 60km/h on Thurgoona Drive from the freeway to Table Top Road.

60km/h on Elizabeth Mitchell Drive and Table Top Road, north of Thurgoona.

80km/h on Elizabeth Mitchell Drive and Table Top Road between the Riverina Highway and Thurgoona Drive.

80km/h on Knoble Road.

Cr Van de Ven reminds motorists that it is important to become familiar with changed conditions and drive accordingly.

Roundabout fix is mooted

By ERIN SOMERVILLE WODONGA residents are hoping to see a roundabout put in place at the intersection of Church and South streets, according to community feedback with council.

Increasing traffic on the roads around the Albury Wodonga Community College and St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School has prompted council to re-examine the intersections to improve traffic flow.

Council has put forward two options,

which include leaving the current stop and give way signs, or building a roundabout.

Wodonga Council’s Infrastructure and Works manager Theo Panagopoulos said there had been overwhelming community support for a roundabout to be put in place.

“It’s quite a busy intersection,” he said.

“It’s an indication of increasing traffic and growth.”

No funding has been allocated in the

2015/’16 budget for the construction of a South and Church streets roundabout, but it could be a possibility in the following financial year.

Council is now encouraging motorists to use South Street and avoid the CBD if possible as the city aims to decrease the volume of unnecessary traffic in the heart of the city.

Community members can still provide feedback to council via makewodongayours.com.au or via the council’s Facebook page.

The South and Church streets intersection has been a hot topic at Wodonga Council.

Scan kit for bowel health

By MONIQUE KUZEFF

Vicki Gray and Pete Lee launch Bowelscan Month. 138540

New Season

IN AUSTRALIA, one person dies every two hours from bowel cancer. This makes it a worse killer than breast cancer and traffic accidents, according to Albury-Hume Rotary Club.

With May here, Bowelscan Month has arrived and over 250 Rotary clubs across Australia are conducting the Rotary Health annual community awareness program.

The program encourages people, particularly over 40 years of age, to purchase a bowel scan kit and get tested.

Bowelscan Month co-ordinator for the Albury-Hume Rotary Club Vicki Gray said the bowel scan kit was highly effective in detecting signs of bowel cancer.

“The bowel scan kit is simple and really easy to use,” Ms Gray said.

“Ninety percent of bowel Picture: ADAM WILSON cancers that are detected early

STYLES

can be cured, so it is really important to act before it’s too late.”

Ms Gray said Albury-Hume Rotary Club had had members who had early detections of bowel cancer through the use of a Bowelscan kit which encouraged those members to act on the results before it was too late.

“We felt Bowelscan Month was a really important initiative to take on and promote within the community not only because bowel cancer has affected members in our club but because the kit is so practical and it is so important for people to become aware of bowel cancer.

“Although people receive kits from the government at the age of 60 year and 65 years, only 24 per cent are returned, while Rotary has a return rate of 84 per cent.”

The Rotary Bowelscan kit is $10 which includes the pathology and notification of results,

and is available to purchase from participating pharmacies throughout the duration of May. Participating pharmacies include: Fifields Pharmacies in Dean Street and Westend Plaza.

Terry White Pharmacy in Dean Street.

Chemart Chemist in Coles Shopping Centre Lavington.

Ms Gray said people could purchase the kit from chemists at anytime throughout the year but they are quite expensive which is why Rotary dedicates a month each year to the awareness and promotion of bowel scan tests while offering it for a cheap price.

“We don’t want to exclude anyone, so that’s why Rotary is providing the kit this month for an affordable price.

“The earlier it’s detected, the better outcome for the person who has been diagnosed.”

Council’s fit financially

Pet force moves into action OVER 250 Mars Petcare Associates converged on the Logan Road Off-Leash Park to assist AlburyCity staff on a range of improvement measures.

AlburyCity Mayor Kevin Mack said at the meeting on Friday that council was delighted to be joining forces with Mars Petcare to provide resources and support to action some of the improvements recommended in council’s 2013 Albury - A Dog Friendly City strategy.

“Friday’s efforts will progress our strategy to develop accessible, inviting and sustainable open space areas for residents with companion animals, without negatively affecting other park users,” Cr Mack said.

According to Mars Petcare’s Divisional Director Supply Nigel Harrison, taking time out of the office to get involved in

Mars Petcare Associates carrying out improvement works at Logan Road Off-Leash Dog Park last Friday.

ALBURYCITY will argue that it is ‘Fit for the Future’ and can stand alone as a financially sustainable entity as the State Government considers merging Local Government Areas.

Council moved its 2015’16 Draft Budget on Monday night, delivering a break-even result, despite increasing costs and lower than expected income including reduced financial assistance grants.

The draft proposes a total cash spend of $122.3 million to fund more than 2800 expenditure items including $38.1 million for capital works.

Mayor Kevin Mack says the driving force behind this budget has been to ensure the council’s long-term sustainability.

“We need to strike a balance between being fiscally prudent, which means living within our means, while at the same time delivering high quality services, infrastructure and facilities that a growing, modern city demands," he said.

“We need to make a significant investment in upgrading the city’s essential infrastructure, in particular our water and sewer network, as well as our roads, drains and footpaths, major assets and key city projects.”

The draft budget proposes spending $12.4 million on water and sewer projects, $7.6 million on roads, drains, bridges and footpaths and $4 million on the Nexus Industrial Precinct stage one subdivision.

There’s also $5 million in proposed grant funded works towards construction of two south facing ramps and two roundabouts at the intersection of Davey Road and the Hume Freeway.

There’s just over $1 million proposed in sponsorship and financial assistance to local community groups, with an additional $500,000 from Council’s Community Fund for local organisations to develop their facilities.

The draft budget proposes a 2.4 per cent general rate increase (State Government rate peg), as well as increases in domestic waste, water and sewer charges.

When combined, the total increase for the average residential property is an additional $207 or 8.6 per cent per year, equivalent to $3.99 per week.

However, customers who’ve used a green waste bin during the past year will pay less, an additional $129 or 5.2 per cent per year which is equivalent to $2.48 per week.

AlburyCity General Manager, Frank Zaknich says while council had projected a surplus for 2015-’16, the break-even result is still a positive outcome, given the reduction in budgeted Federal Government financial assistance grants, less than expected income and the increasing costs of employment, contracts and materials.

“We’ve been working hard to future-proof the organisation over the past few years.

We have an ongoing service and efficiency review process underway which is projected to achieve savings in the order of $3 million by 2016-’17.

“Our desire and discipline to achieving balanced budgets remain on track. We are meeting the majority of the NSW Government Fit for the Future targets and our debt service ratio of six per cent remains well below the Fit for the Future benchmark of 20 per cent, further demonstrating that AlburyCity has the ability and strategic capacity going forward,” Mr Zaknich said.

The draft budget includes the one-year operational plan and four-year delivery program and is now on public exhibition. Residents have until 5pm, Friday 29 May to make a submission.

Dealers get dobbed in THE Wodonga community has taken a clear stand against drugs, with Crime Stoppers Victoria receiving a significant response to the Dob in a Dealer program run across the region last month.

The Dob in a Dealer program was launched in Wodonga on 13 March to gather confidential information from the community about the manufacture and distribution of crystal methylamphetamine or ‘ice’ and other illicit drugs.

In the fortnight following the launch of the program in Wodonga, Crime Stoppers recorded a significant 133 per cent spike in community information reports about possible drug activity in the region.

The campaign also saw a rise in reports across the state, with reporting on overall drugrelated information across Victoria increasing by 17 per cent when compared with recent weeks.

The successful result in Wodonga builds on the information already gathered in the Victorian towns of Bendigo, Shepparton, Moe and Warrnambool.

Crime Stoppers Victoria Community Manager Peter Brown thanked the Wodonga community for their assistance and heralded the results as a significant step toward disrupting the supply of drugs into North East Victoria.

“Drugs like crystal methylamphetamine have devastating consequences for regional Victorian towns, placing pressure on police, emergency service

workers, drug counsellors and public health specialists,” Mr Brown said.

“The response to the Dob in a Dealer program from local residents has been significant, and the increase in phone and online reports shows how concerned the Wodonga community is about drug activity in the area.

“Information from the community leads to real results when it comes to breaking the cycle of crime, and the information gathered over the two weeks of the campaign has been passed on to the police for inquiry.

“While the Dob in a Dealer program will now shift focus to other towns across the state, Crime Stoppers is open 365 days a years and we urge the community to continue to report any suspicious behavior they may see or information they may have,” Mr Brown said.

“Making a report to Crime Stoppers is completely confidential. You will never be identified or called up for a court case, but every piece of information you provide can help solve crimes and disrupt supply of illicit drugs into our communities.”

The Crime Stoppers Victoria Dob in a Dealer program is funded by the Victorian Government’s Community Crime Prevention Program and run in collaboration with Victoria Police, and is being rolled out across Victoria to aid in the detection and disruption of drugs being supplied across the state.

The program will now con-

tinue the fight against drugs across Victoria by moving into the towns of Ballarat, Echuca, Swan Hill and Mildura. The Dob in a Dealer program plans to run in a total of 17 Victorian towns over the coming months.

If you think you have information about someone in your community who is manufacturing or supplying drugs, or have seen something suspicious, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 for a confidential conversation, report securely online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au or download the Crime Stoppers app for iPhone or Android.

Crime Stoppers is focused on gathering information to stop the supply and manufacture of drugs.

If you or someone you know is affected by drug use or addiction, please contact support services such as Family Drug Help on 1300 660 068 or Youth Support and Advocacy Service on 1800 014 446 or the Victorian Government’s new Ice Help Line - 1800 ICE ADVICE (1800 423 238) - which can direct users and families to the treatment and support services they need, and provide general information to the community about ice and its effects.

Crime Stoppers Victoria is a not-for-profit community organisation, helping to keep families and communities safe.

We work closely with Victoria Police to provide valuable information from the public to help solve crime. Any information you provide is confidential - so if you see something or you know something, say something.

IT’S time to give Mum a chance to relax and simply switch off from the world.

At the Albury Float Room, she’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 flotation 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 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 unplug from the outside world.

Float massage packages are also being offered at Albury Float Room as well as discounted regular float packages.

So why not treat Mum to something special this Mother’s Day. She can experience her own private piece of paradise at Albury Float Room, 415 David Street Albury, Monday to Saturday.

No hard sell at Riverwood RIVERWOOD was never going to be a hard place to sell to those who attended the village’s open day in April, and its success proved just that.

As people fell in love with Riverwood’s lovely homes, great location, and friendly residents, the team is excited to be welcoming further additions to their happy community following the open day.

“It was our most successful,” Riverwood Sales Manager Wayne Matsinos said.

“On the day we sold two units and have put two units on hold.”

The damp weather didn’t stop the crowd from attending the open day on 17 April, and a shuttle bus ensured guests were able to stay dry as they explored the village and its facilities.

One of the highlights was seeing Riverwood residents share their glowing recommendations for the village to those who visited.

“They got to hear from direct word of mouth about

what it’s like to live here.”

Visitors and residents alike are impressed by Riverwood’s spacious gardens that offer each home privacy, easy access to town, nearby medical facilities, and all the extras that come with becoming a resident. Riverwood won over visitors from the Border region to as far away as Brisbane. Noela and Arthur Booth have just moved to Riverwood, and say it is a positive change in their life.

“Our house was too big and the children were all gone and it was too much for us,” she said.

“There is so much to do here, you only have to walk out the gate and the bus stops there every quarter of an hour to get to town. You’ve got everything at your fingertips.”

Those who were unable to attend the April open day at Riverwood aren’t too late.

There is still a chance to visit the village and see why so many people are calling it home, so give Wayne and the helpful team a call today to arrange your inspection.

Arthur and Noelene Booth are happy in their new Riverwood home. 138364

Compassion and caring the key ALMOST three years since she became Mardross Gardens’ village manager, Anne Martin is incredibly proud of the sense of community she has fostered within the village.

“The most important part of the job is being there for the residents,” Ms Martin said.

“Whether the residents need my help getting around the village, arranging activities, or linking them to community services, I enjoy making their life better by helping with their needs.

“Often, our residents just need a friendly ear, or a warm smile, and that makes all the difference.

“Knowing that the residents really appreciate what I do - I think that’s important, and it motivates me to make the community even better.”

Mardross Gardens is an active rental retirement community with 37 residents between the ages of 55 and 95.

“Our residents really enjoy Mardross Gardens’ rental retirement model.

“Instead of buying a property with large upfront expenses, residents sign a secure rental lease, offering them all the lifestyle and safety benefits of a retirement community, but with the increased flexibility to free up funds for things like holidays, or presents for the grandkids,” she said.

“The Mardross Gardens social club meets once a month and organises regular activities including barbecues and bingo, which is in addition to the regular games and activities I put on for the residents.

“The residents think the village is a great place to live, and I’m proud to be their village manager.”

Elders mark Anzac tradition ANZAC Day, one of our most celebrated and patriotic annual events is always a time for reflection and paying of respects.

This year at Albury and District Aged Care it was a time to celebrate the 100th year of Anzac tradition.

During a recent Anzac Service held at Albury and District Aged care, the residents were

able to share this time with their loved ones while also paying respect to all those who have contributed to making our lives what they are today.

The Anzac spirit was in the air with a room filled with residents, family members and staff poring over the many items on display that represented what people involved in the war did.

Everyone was adorned with handmade poppies, created by the residents andcraft group, with special mention to Marjorie and Sonja for their efforts in making the poppies for everyone on the day.

Carol, a member of the lifestyle team also created a centrepiece for the day, a wreath arrangement of flowers and

leaves,spelling out ‘100’, laid by residents Bob Bye and Daniel Maher.

Prayers and poems were read out during the service by the lifestyle team, Michelle, Carol and Sharon with a PowerPoint backdrop and service programs for everyone to follow.

Highlighting the afternoon was resident Ian Green who raised the flag and recited The Ode while Hugh McMahon from Scots’ School performed The Last Post on his bugle.

After the moving ceremony, the residents, their families and staff enjoyed a morning tea to catch up and share their thoughts, feelings and experiences. It was a chance for a ‘tear or two’ and a ‘laugh’.

In the spirit of tradition, celebrating 100 years of Anzac for Albury and District Aged Care closed on a high note with a mock game of ‘Two Up’ in the afternoon, a game many residents have participated in over the years. Enjoying this tradition over a cup of tea and the swapping of stories is sure to be carried on for many years to come.

Assessment begins it all Megan McGrath’s knowledge of aged care doesn’t just stop with financial advice. Her association with many local community aged care services in the area, will enable her to help increase the community’s awareness of all things aged care. Over coming months, Megan will share insights gained from a variety of services associated with Aged Care.

LAST week Megan McGrath met with Fiona MacPhee, Manager of Gateway Health’s Community Aged Care and Ms MacPhee was keen to explain the basics of the ACAS Assessment process and why gaining assessment was so important.

Ms MacPhee firstly explained about the inconsistency in terminology surrounding assessments.

“An Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) exists in all states except Victoria, where it’s called an Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS). But they do the same thing it’s just the name that’s different.”

Why does somebody need to get an ACAS assessment?

“You will need an ACAS assessment if you’re wanting to access Commonwealth Government subsidised aged care services such as home care packages, transitional care programs, respite, and permanent residential aged care.”

Ensuring you undertake an ACAS assessment is vital, as without this as-

Megan McGrath and Fiona MacPhee discuss the importance of an assessment.

138356 PIcture: PROVIDED BY GENERATIONS sessment, you will be required to pay for the full cost of any care that is provided to you.”

How does somebody go about getting an ACAS assessment?

“Clients will normally be referred by their family doctor to have an ACAS assessment. An appointment will be made with you or a family member to visit in your home to perform the free assessment. It is preferred that as family member be present during the assessment.”

What will they assess?

Ms MacPhee explained that the ACAS was a team of specialised and friendly assessors, including doctors, nurses, social workers and therapists.

“For other community based services such as Home Care, the ACAS can make referrals on your behalf.”

Lastly, you will also be provided with the relevant forms to complete to determine what your fees will be.

For home care, you will be required to complete and “income assessment form” and for “permanent care”, you will be required to complete an “Income and Asset Assessment Form”.

Ms MacPhee explained that all permanent residental care and home care package approvals would remain valid indefinitely, unless the ACAS approval was granted for a specific period of time and that you may need to request that another assessment is performed if your personal circumstances or your care needs deteriorate.

The Hume regional Aged Care Assessment Service - Wangaratta has offices in Wangaratta, Wodonga and Myrtleford and can be contacted on 03 5723 2007.

Next month, Megan will explore the topic of Home Care.

“You can expect that your assessor will inquire as to your general health, any specific health conditions and your ability to perform day to day living activities,” she said. “They will talk to you about whether they think you need more support so you can keep living in your own home, or if they think you might be better supported in residential care.”

What happens next?

“Once your assessment is finalised, you will receive a letter advising if you have been approved as eligible for Commonwealth Government support and for what type of services you’re approved to receive and why. You will also be provided with a copy of your aged care client record which you must have to claim the government subsidy,” Ms MacPhee explained.

“You will be provided with information about the residential and respite services that may be available in your local area and then it is then up to you to research the services and make arrangements with the service provider of your choice.

ALBURY seniors and their families will have the opportunity to experience the transformation of Active Lifestyle Estates Albury when the community hold its first-ever open day on Saturday, 23 May. As part of a $20 million refurbishment, the community now boasts 10 brand-new homes, extensive landscaping and improved internal roads and signage, with plans for a brandnew community centre, community gardens and swimming pool.

On completion of stage two, the community will include 37 brandnew homes.

“The open day will give all locals the chance to see first-hand the transformation that has taken place and preview the latest in modern manufactured homes with two displays to view,” sales manager Megan Collins said.

“We also invite the community to meet with existing residents and staff over a complimentary lunch and to enjoy the live music.”

Five new stage one homes priced from $176,000 - have sold recently. Richard and Gail Begley will soon make the move to their

brand-new two-bedroom home in Melbourne.

“We’re looking forward to our new Albury lifestyle, really kicking back and enjoying life,” Mr Begley said.

“The move is something we’ve been wanting to do for a while and when we came across Active Lifestyle Estates, it was ideal. We came for a look and decided to purchase within the week.

“The easy access to the Hume Highway is handy for family in both Melbourne and Canberra, and we were particularly attracted to the af-

fordability and financial flexibility our new home offered.”

Active Lifestyle Estates residents purchase a new manufactured home and lease, rather than own the land, which eliminates the need to pay stamp duty and entry fees.

Give it a bit of a Wiggle

By TANIA PHILLIPS ALMOST two years down the track and Brisbane boy Lachy Gillespie is still pinching himself.

He might not quite be a household name yet but with a sell-out tour across Australia, he’s certainly on his way.

If you haven’t heard of Lachy, you obviously don’t have kids under four.

Lachy Gillespie is the Purple Wiggle - taking over from Jeff when, in late 2012, the original all-male Wiggles line-up stepped aside to allow a new cast to take over their kid-errific work.

Since then, the world has been slowly and surely embracing the new group.

Anthony (Blue Wiggle) and only original has been joined by Emma (Yellow Wiggle), Lachy (Purple Wiggle) and Simon (Red Wiggle).

And with a new CD and DVD “Rock and Roll Preschool” a television series and a “back to basics” concert series, the new line-up is making it’s presence felt - including sold-out concerts in Albury this week. Lachy said they expected a slow start after the retirement of the original Wiggles and admitted they were doing oneshow days to only 300 people at the beginning. But things have certainly changed quickly and they have “turned it around in only two years”.

Lachy, the Purple Wiggle (centre).

On stage with The Wiggles.

“Now we have to cram people and do four shows a day in smaller venues,” he laughed.

And the new line-up seems to have given the fab-four of the preschool world a whole new audience and new enthusiasm, with Lachy admitting that even original member Anthony had admitted the group needed a new injec-

tion of life.

And it seems Lachy is enjoying performing, travelling and being a Wiggle - which recently included a trip back to his old preschool in Brisbane to visit with the local kids.

“That was surreal.”

So what’s the weirdest thing about being a Wiggle?

“Well I never thought my image would be on a toothbrush,” he laughed.

After more than 24 years of performing, seven million albums, 23 million DVDs and eight million books sold, The Wiggles have performed to millions of fans across the globe. And to put that into perspective, in the past 22 years, The Rolling Stones have done just over 1000 shows. In the same time, The Wiggles have performed in excess of 6000 shows!

gettable night of untamed hilarity.

Venue manager Brendan Maher said it would be a great night of entertainment; a chance to forget about the everyday and just enjoy a night of laughter and fun with family and friends.

Lightsaber love-in FOR fans of the Stars Wars franchise, May 4 is a day to celebrate.

Considered a holiday by Star Wars fans, they take time to celebrate the franchise’s films series, books, and culture.

The event was created by George Lucas and was chosen for the easy pun on the catchphrase “May the Force be with you” - similar to May the 4th.

Even though the holiday doesn’t feature in any film, Star Wars fans across the world choose to celebrate it.

Border fans were certainly not ones to miss out, and with so much fun and action, you can’t blame them for letting their lightsabers loose on Monday.

Beth delivers book, babies

By TANIA PHILLIPS ALBURY-TRAINED midwife and author Beth McRae is on her way back to town.

The author of the newly released Outback Midwife, heads to the Atura Hotel on Thursday to talk about her book and her experiences as a midwife in the outback. Wonder what would happen if Call The Midwife came to rural Australia?

Or what it would be like to be a midwife in a remote Aboriginal community in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory?

Beth has plenty of stories to share.

Since starting out as a student nurse in Albury, she has spent 40 years as a midwife and has accumulated an array of astounding, terrifying and heart-warming stories about her career of ‘catching babies’ in rural and metropolitan Australia.

Now, at a time when others might think of slowing down, Beth is following her lifelong dream of living and working in a remote Aboriginal community in Arnhem Land.

This decision has led to a whole new adventure that has changed not only her life, but also those of many others.

Meet and listen to Beth McRae talk about the heart warming, inspiring and moving stories from her memoir Outback Midwife.

Time: Thursday 7 May 12.30pm Venue: Atura Hotel, 648 Dean Street, Albury.

Email: newsdesk@awnw.com.au Simon and Garfunkel the concert.

And the sounds of silence here WATCHING the Simon and Garfunkel reunion show on DVD struck a chord for Sydney-based duo Mark Shelley and John Robertson.

The duo, who have been singing together for the past 25 years were blown away by just how amazing the legendary duo were - hit after hit - amazing wordcraft and beautiful music and an idea was born.

After thinking about it, the pair put together ‘Simon and Garfunkel - The Concert’.

Their show showcases more than 20 hit songs that include The Boxer, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Feelin’ Groovy, Me and Julio, Homeward Bound, Scarborough Fair, America, and Sounds of Silence.

Mark explains that Simon and Garfunkel reflected and de-

Box office

fined the mood of the ’60s with their close vocal harmonies and stirring songs penned by Paul Simon.

“Their at times rocky personal relationship was seemingly at odds with their inspired musical partnership,” he said.

“Their music remains timeless, etched in the memories of those they touched at the time, and the generations since who have discovered their songs.

With record sales in excess of 70 million, they are arguably the greatest vocal duo of all time. “ ‘Shelley and Robertson’ bring more than two decades as one of Australia’s top duos to the concert. Their credits include sold-out festival and theatres (Willie and Roy - The Legends), performing with the Australian Opera Company,

cruises, jingles, TV, and countless venues.

With a genuine love of these songs, and with a stunning backing band, Mark and John’s harmonies, musicianship and natural humour, re-create the magic, sounds and times that were Simon and Garfunkel.

This fun, nostalgic story filled performance will touch you and transport you back to where you were, what you felt, and who you were with when you first heard their music ... re-live the times, the songs, the music, and those wonderful harmonies!

Ultron - it’s the ultimate NOW SHOWING: Thu 7.05.15 to Wed 13.05.15 Movie: Avengers: Age of Ultron Rating: M Length: 141minutes THERE is no experience at the movies that brings on the pressure or anticipation quite like walking into a sequel or franchise.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron is not immune. With so much hype surrounding its opening, there was a lot of expectation from movie-goers young and old this week to deliver.

And suprisingly, it did.

To see six separate superheroes converge on the screen in a storyline that was actually plausible, and even see them face their own personal battles, was the real superhero effort of this over-the-top sequel.

Oh yes, did I mention that it’s over-the-top? And overstuffed? And absolutely crammed with action and dra-

ma and faces and names and storylines? But don’t worry, that’s part of its charm!

With the original film setting quite the high standard, the writers have pole-vaulted over its predecessor faster and higher than Tatiana Grigorieva could ever dream. You won’t be disappointed, especially if you are a fan of the original comics.

Buried somewhere in all that, the storyline from what I gather sees Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program and things go terribly awry. Because if they didn’t it would be boring.

Welcome Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), The Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and the rest of the Avengers (but sorry, no Loki!) to reassemble and save Earth from doom. The team must battle Ultron (James Spader), a technological terror hell-

bent on human extinction.The movie is packed, but audiences will enjoy getting to know the emotional stories behind some of the characters who are given licence to flex their dramatic acting and emotional talents besides their muscles.

Oh, and if there weren’t enough superhero characters for you to get your head around, you’ll love getting to know Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch. However, with so many faces being crammed into typical movie-legth space of time, their character development falls short. Maybe we’ll meet them in the future?

If this ultimate superhero movie hasn’t done it for you, don’t worry. It’s clear the Age of Ultron has laid many more threads for future Marvel flicks to weave themselves from. It definitely isn’t the last we’ll see of these guys, and no doubt they’ll continue to be bigger and better than ever.

Homes&Property �� Albury Wodonga

This is some home!

VISITORS to 12 Sunningdale Street will walk right in, plonk themselves down and begin living a dream lifestyle in this comfortable and gorgeous place.

While this home has all the modern touches, it doesn’t lack soul like so many newer homes can and has so many classy and characteristic touches that will be hard to find anywhere else on the market.

Set among abundant bird life on a spacious 1311 square metre block, this immaculately presented home offers it all.

The new owners will be able to enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the terrific views over Wodonga and its gorgeous autumn hues.

The kitchen is fantastic and large, complete with a double sink, 900mm gas cook top and 900mm electric wall oven.

It comes with a large dining space and it’s only a short step away to the gorgeous undercover area for those who feel like enjoying their meals outdoors.

There is much room for living in this home which has three separate living areas.

The formal lounge is just

gorgeous while the second living room is also spacious and comfortable and comes with its own imitation log fire which is perfect for these crisp autumn nights.

A separate sitting room accessible from the living room or master suite is also a great addition to the home and provides a haven to snuggle away in, soak up the sun that pours in through the abundant windows, and enjoy being torn between a good book or the amazing views from this comfortable and warm space.

It’s the thoughtfulness and practicality that has gone into this home that the new owners will also enjoy.

They will notice this when they see aspects such as the study.

Tucked away at the front of the home, the study is a place that will inspire the new owners to sit down and work in as they overlook the gorgeous front yard.

The four bedrooms are all comfortable sanctuaries and each comes with plenty of room with their built-in double ward-

robes. The master bedroom offers extra treats with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with plenty of natural light.

The owners will be spoilt for choice when it comes to keeping themselves warm and cool, with the home offering ducted heating and cooling, an imitation log fire, fans in certain rooms and a split climate system.

Even the spacious laundry has plenty of charisma.

There is so much space on this block of land and owners will enjoy all the backyard has to offer - whether that’s the tranquil fernery for a cup of tea, the spacious undercover entertaining area, or the tiered backyard dotted with peach, cherry, persimmon and black olive trees.

There is even side access for the boat, caravan, or trailer, and access from the backyard and indoors to the double garage.

Maintenance will be a breeze with the front yard landscaped so that all there is needed to worry about is mowing the nature strip.

Your next rental property is only a click away 2

Knowledge opens doors

Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

37 Twist Creek Road, Yackandandah

BUY local campaigns support local businesses, helping ensure they survive against competition from shopping malls and major retail chains.

But buy local - and sell local also applies to real estate agencies and regional and suburban agents are a vital resource for buyers and sellers.

Many local agents grew up in the town where they now do business.

They know every street, every park, every school and are a walking directory on everything from where to get the best cup of coffee to the nearest train and bus service.

Buyers can obtain all this information in a single, face-to-face conversation.

Local agents are also familiar with local house prices.

They can give sellers a realistic appraisal of what their home will fetch and show buyers what they want within their budget.

They also maintain databases of househunters and those who missed out on previous sales and can call on these people.

Sometimes, this means a property sells before the marketing campaign begins, saving the vendors money.

In many towns the local agent is an integral part of the community, a supporter of charities, the go-to person for a publicity board for the school fete and a mine of information about local goings-on.

With a minimum of fuss, this family home in a quiet Yackandandah location could be converted to 2 x 2 bedroom units for residency or maybe as a bed and breakfast (STCA).

Surrounded by beautiful low maintenance flower and vegetable gardens the home is configured to allow two distinct quarters.

As a family home it offers so much, with family room separate from the more formal living areas and a generous timber kitchen with bonus dishwasher.

Large alfresco area for the ease of entertaining.

Opportunities such as this rarely present themselves so now is the time to act!

Yackandandah an enchanting Historical Town!

86 SALES IN 90 DAYS!

Local agents move with the times, using the latest online marketing techniques to deliver a wide array of exposure for each and every property.

REIV members have access to the most up-to-date training and seminars, which helps further with online and social media elements to campaigns.

An increasing number of agents in regional Victoria and outer suburbs are also helping their clients sell by auction and have expertise on when an auction is the best method of sale for a house, unit or apartment.

The popularity of auctions within Melbourne, especially in the past 12 months, has increased demand in some regional areas - where previously most transactions were private sales.

Agents also offer a further, local element to campaigns - their own shop window, which provides high exposure for properties for sale.

Even today as internet marketing takes hold, main street agents’ windows not only show buyers what is for sale, but other locals.

And word-of-mouth is a vital source for buyers.

The local agent is a key part of any vibrant community and buying and selling with those agents is helping keep those communities healthy, dynamic and informed.

Our office had sold over 19.1 million dollars of property.

Local Sport Lavington’s big spree

By TANIA PHILLIPS ADAM Prior and Luke Garland kicked six goals and Daniel Hitchens five as Lavington went on a goal-scoring spree against Wangaratta in their Ovens and Murray round four game at Lavington Panthers Oval.

Lavington ran out 72-point winners kicking 24.13 (157) to 13.7 (85) to take the points.

While they were never headed, leading by three goals to one after the first quarter, they moved up a notch in the second half, kicking 16-6 to put the result well beyond doubt.

Lavington score a goal watched over the line by the umpire.

Up they go. Jade Cleeland and Tom Yensch vie for a screamer.

Jamie Anderson and Adam Prior.

Action from Saturday's game.

Jamie Anderson was best on ground while Robert Hicks kicked four for Wangaratta.

In the other game played on the weekend to round out the fourth round Wangaratta Rovers won a nail-biter over Myrtleford at WJ Findlay Oval, Wangaratta.

The Rovers finished 16.11 (107) to Myrtleford 16.6 (102) to record a fivepoint win.

Down by 31 points at three quarter time, Rovers stormed home kicking eight goals straight to Myrtleford’s two. Daniel Mccullough was the hero kicking seven for the game.

Border takes to racquetball big-time

By MONIQUE KUZEFF WHAT do you get when you put squash and tennis together? Racquetball - a perfect balance between a challenge and just plain fun.

This particular sport is similar to squash but is distinguishable by difference in size of the ball and racquet, and you expect to start seeing more of it.

It’s a game that is proving popular on the Border, with Wodonga players taking out some of the top places at the recent Citizen Wangaratta Racquetball Open Championships.

Junior coaching manager Pam Heffey said the goal of racquetball was the same as squash, however some people found it easier using a bigger racquet and a bouncier ball.

“The racquetball bounces more, so you can get to it more easily, wheras the squash ball has a smaller bounce,” Ms Heffey said.

“It is a great alternative for beginners as they have more of an opportunity to move to the ball and to produce a bigger bounce - squash requires a bit more skill.”

Wodonga Squash Racquetball Association welcomes people of all ages and players can begin at whatever level they like.

Ms Heffey said junior racquetball was not just about teaching the players to play the sport, but was also about increasing a healthy lifestyle for young people where they could learn these skills and carry them on into adulthood.

“It encourages juniors to get out and socialise with one another, support one another, and gain confidence in their own ability.”

Junior coaching is a two-hour session from 10am to noon on Saturdays.

The coaching sessions focus on fitness levels, awareness skills, practise in moving around the court, and game strategy and techniques.

The recent sponsorship from Dixon Homes is expected to assist in expanding the program.

“We are organising fitness and dietician professionals to occasionally come in and talk to the juniors during coaching sessions,” Ms Heffey said.
