Our Anzac hero By GARRY HOWE THIS year we got to meet some of the men on marble. These are the graziers, clerks, railwaymen; the sons and daughters of the Border who marched headlong and without question to the Great War, many never to return. Their names are etched on the gardens of stone dotted around the Border, or etched in gold lettering on timber honour boards that hang in RSLs or memorial halls. In 2015, many of these names came to life as celebrations were held to mark the Anzac Centenary - 100 years since the landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915 that is said to have given a young nation its identity on the world stage. None epitomised that Anzac spirit more than the Border’s own war hero Albert Borella, who we name as the Albury-Wodonga NewsWeekly’s Person of the Year for 2015, on behalf of his many comrades. His quest to enlist was a feat in itself and his exploits on the battlefield once there only built on his legend earning the military’s highest honour, the Victoria Cross. Albert found himself in the Northern Territory outback when war broke out and, desperate to enlist, began an arduous 1000-kilometre journey on foot, horseback and mail cart to get from Tennant Creek to Darwin to sign up. When he got there, he discovered Darwin had no place for enlistment, so he boarded a ship to Townsville and signed up in that Queensland city. To mark the Anzac Centenary, Albert’s grandson Richard Borella retraced his journey, with four generations of family members travelling to the Northern Territory in support. The Borella Ride became a flagship

A statue marking his remarkable story - and incredible bravery on the front - now stands at Peards Nursery in Albury. The Borella legend grew as the war was reaching its climax in mid-1918 on the French fields of Villers-Brettoneux. Lieutenant Borella was fighting with his Enoggera-raised 26th Battalion as the Allies launched their Spring Offensive. His men came under heavy machine-gun fire, so Lt Borella broke
away and single-handedly silenced the two enemy gunners with his revolver. He then led his men, now depleted to just 10, down a strongly-held enemy trench. With two Lewis machine-guns, their rifles and revolvers, they worked their way through the trench, staving off two enemy counter attacks. With 30 prisoners in tow and many enemy casualties, Lt Borella had become a hero and was presented with his Victoria Cross by King George V at Sandringham Palace in September 1918, only two months before the war would end.

2015 – THE YEAR THAT WAS
Looking back on the year
MAMA’s long-awaited opening The new art museum is riddled with relics, but also contains a series of art collections and world-class climate control systems worth $10 million. The art museum contains 10 exhibition spaces and has circa-1937 photographs of Albury upon the walls. It also has 24hour education access, 500 LED light beams and even a souvenir shop.
IT WAS long-awaited, but after years of design and development the Border finally saw the opening of the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) in early October. The $10.5 million dollar redevelopment of the former Albury Town Hall now stands today as a fresh, stylish and state-of-the-art facility for all to enjoy.
MAMA offers programs and stages events and exhibitions. Albury is getting more cultural and modern as the years go by and 2015 saw a huge development on this scale with the completion of the MAMA. MAMA director Jacqui Hemsley believes that Albury will develop into a cultural city. “We have such an amaz-

ANOTHER year has come and gone and NewsWeekly is set to cover a new year that will surely see both ups and downs on the Border in 2016. Let’s first take a look in to the past and reminisce about some of the feats and the calamities that made 2015 on the Border the year that was. We have included the big stories, photos, quotes and front pages in our first issue of 2016, with this issue’s front page shining light on the 100th Anzac Centenary. Last year the Border welcomed two new mayors and the country saw the rise of a new prime minister just over a week after Tony Abbott visited Wodonga for the opening of the Spirit of Anzac Centenary. After years of design and development, the fresh and stylish Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) finally opened up in early October followed by the focus on
the Stocco fugitives Mark and Gino who took the road between Wagga and Albury later in the month. NewsWeekly felt it was important to cover the grim issue of domestic violence against women on the Border, pairing with the White Ribbon Foundation to spread awareness. And the Border had its share of misfortune with the passing of the likeable business leader and SS&A Club CEO Tim Levesque, who tragically died in early December. Over the years, the Border has developed in to a robust region that caters for families, travellers and individuals to live, work, or play. As we overlap in to this New Year, NewsWeekly will again strive to deliver surrounding communities with engaging, informative and heart-warming news from right around the region.

By MONIQUE KUZEFF WHAT was it that brought then Prime Minister Tony Abbott to the electorate last year along with a list of high-profile guests? That’s right, the Anzac spirit. In early September, Tony Abbott made his first official visit to Wodonga for the opening of the Spirit of Anzac Centenary Exhibition. It was a huge year nationally in celebrating the 100th Anzac Centenary and to top it off Wodonga was selected as the launching place of the $35 million travelling Spirit of Anzac Centenary Exhibition. The opening of the exhibition also saw the attendance of a string of important leaders including Telstra CEO Andrew Penn, Commonwealth Bank CEO Ian Narev, and local MPs
Prime Minister Tony Abbott explores the exhibition. and government leaders. The exhibition itself displayed 200 artefacts, interactive technology, still and visual imagery, and local community zones that shone light on the contributions of local soldiers. Mr Abbott commented on how well the exhibition recreated the lives and times of
grandparents and great-grandparents of Australia. “It commemorates what is best in the human spirit, what is noblest in our character and acknowledges that the worst of times can bring out the best in us. The centenary of Anzac does not - will not - glorify war,” Mr Abbott said.

ACROSS Australia, hundreds of families and friends wake up every day not knowing where their loved ones are. With one person being reported missing every 15 minutes, it’s a problem that affects most communities in Australia. The Border isn’t immune. As this week marks National Missing Persons Week, we take a look at the phenomena that is impacting the lives of many in our Border community and across Australia.
Among the missing By ERIN SOMERVILLE FOR many on the Border, the reality of not knowing if a loved one is safe is all too real. It can be an emotionally crippling time for those in the community waiting for answers as the hours, days, and even years tick by. The reason behind a disappearance can vary greatly. Some disappear because they don’t want to be found, while others may have suffered at the hands of domestic violence, have mental health issues, been in an accident, or on the very rare occasion have met with foul play. Whatever the reason for a disappearance, the impact can be just as painful for those family and friends left in the dark. Wodonga Detective Sergeant Graeme Simpfendorfer has seen first-hand the impact missing persons have on the local community. Wodonga alone currently has two open missing persons cases, including a 16-yearold girl who disappeared on 24 June, 2015, and a 17-year-old girl who went missing on 24 November, 2013. The girls can’t be identified for legal reasons. The local case of missing Pearcedale fisherman Garry Martella, who never resurfaced from the waters of Lake Dartmouth after his tinnie capsized in a storm in September, 2001 has recently been ruled as a non-natural death by the Coroner’s Court of Victoria. Meanwhile, missing Lavington woman Julie Beyers who disappeared in 2004 was declared legally dead eight years later following an Albury inquest. “It’s devastating to the families,” Detective Sergeant Simpfendorfer said.
Key facts from Australian Federal Police

“It’s the unknown, not knowing the how and why.” Many missing cases dealt with by police on the Border are of young people who have chosen to disappear. Police encourage those who have decided to run away to simply head to the nearest police station and let authorities know they’re okay. This must be done in person and not over the telephone for a missing persons case to be closed. It also allows police to re-direct their resources to other cases. “It’s not a crime to go missing, but obviously the stress on the family and not knowing is hard, they can reach out and give some closure that they are okay.” Detective Sergeant Simpfendorfer encourages residents to follow their instincts when concerned about a missing loved one, particularly if a disappearance is out of character, unusual, or the person is vulnerable. Residents do not have to wait 24 hours to file a missing persons report with the police. To help identify missing Australians, or learn more about missing persons, visit www.missingpersons.gov.au

In the footsteps of a hero
Richard Borella hits the road with his horse on The Borella Ride. 135794
THE Border’s Richard Borella, grandson to Victoria Cross hero Albert Borella, spent 12 days of last year walking in his grandfather's shoes – metaphorically speaking. It was a memorable journey when Richard travelled across the Northern Territory outback in recognition of the 1000km journey his grandfather made to enlist for World War I. With eventual blistered and bloodied feet, Richard determinedly hiked the distance from Tennant Creek to Renner Springs, then rode a horse from there to Katherine and eventually hitched a ride to Pine Creek on a mail cart before completing the last stretch on a train to Darwin. Richard said the trek itself was a tough one.
“The third day was the hardest,” he said. “It was 37 degrees and we had a strong headwind, it was quite difficult.” Although a similar feat, Richard said he did experience things that Albert would not have experienced back then, including road trains. “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.” Richard said it was a rewarding experience, not only for him but also for four generations of Borellas behind him. Son of Albert, Rowan Borella, said it was a very emotional journey. “It was a really great experience, something we never dreamed of,” Rowan said.

2015 – THE YEAR THAT WAS
New PM on the Borderline Stoccos
caused a fair stir
By MONIQUE KUZEFF IT WAS somewhat an unexpected turn of events when Australia welcomed a new Prime Minister just over a week after Tony Abbott visited the Border in September last year. In a spontaneous and merciless face-off, former Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull won the leadership role with 54 to 44 votes. Local leaders were taken aback by the sudden change including Member for Farrer Sussan Ley who had secured the health and sport portfolios in the Abbott cabinet. “I congratulate Mr Turnbull on becoming leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister,” Ms Ley said in a public statement at the time. “I also wish to thank Tony Abbott for his leadership as both Opposition Leader and Prime Minister during what has been, and continues to be, a very important time for our country and its future prosperity.” Ms Ley said the Coalition Government delivered significant po-

Tremors from quake roll on through history By MONIQUE KUZEFF IT WAS an international story that made local news when Wodonga resident Sue Chamberlain was left trembling after experiencing the shock of her life in Nepal. Ms Chamberlain was enjoying a trekking trip through Nepal when an 8.1 magnitude earthquake rocked the
Australian Credit License: 389433
country in April 2015. “Initially there was a massive bang and then the air pressure changed, and it was playing with my head,” Ms Chamberlain said. Although it was only a two-minute experience, to Ms Chamberlain it felt like a lot longer. She had to brace herself quickly. “I still wonder how solid ground
could wave like that and not break up.” There were other trekkers around her in danger areas where rocks could have easily fallen. Two avalanches had ploughed through the Everest Base Camp where they should have been. Many of the people Ms Chamberlain had become friendly with had suffered vital injuries and there were terrible fatalities.
Fortunately, Ms Chamberlain arrived back home in Australia safely. She is reminded of a scarred Nepal a beautiful country with friendly people who she became familiar with and grew to love over years of visiting. She reminds Australians not to avoid Nepal, as it needs the income from tourism to rebuild the infrastructure and help them to get back on their feet.
IN October last year, the region was stirred by armed father and son duo Mark and Gino Stocco. The fugitives, who at the time were armed with a high-powered rifle, were spotted on Kreutzbergers road between Wagga and Albury, where they shot at a police vehicle. Known as modern day bushrangers, the fugitives had been on the run from the police for eight years. They led authorities on a wild goose chase across New South Wales and Queensland in October last year and there were sightings of the pair over a wide area in towns including Euroa, Tumbarumba, St James, Gundagai and Bairnsdale. The pair were wanted in relation to a string of offences, including attempted murder, dishonestly obtaining property by deception, and intending to resist arrest and police pursuit. At the time the public were told to look out for a 2013 white Toyota LandCruiser with white rims and a bullbar. They were known to have changed the appearance of the vehicle quite frequently, and police found it difficult to identify the ute due to the large number of similar vehicles used in rural and regional areas.

LAST year Albury saw the ascent of its new mayor Henk van de Ven. He took over the reins from former mayor Cr Kevin Mack who served for two terms from September 2013 to September 2015. Cr van de Ven’s main goal coming into his new posting was to preserve the future of local government. Cr van de Ven, who had been on Albury Council for 11 years and served as deputy mayor four times strongly believed that the biggest issue was the future of council. “We’ve lost indexation on FAG grants, we’ve had to put up the money for Fit for the Future submissions, and there’s rumours and innuendo around about what’s going to happen to councils - that they’re all go-

During his term as mayor, Cr van de Ven said he wanted to ensure that the council was well engaged with the community and listened to what it wants for the future progress of the city.
“I think the people of Albury deserve democracy at a local level,” he said. “I think we’ve got some tough times with the Fit for the Future and possible amalgamations so my aim really is to continue the good work this council has done in the past three years.”

A Wodonga Gardens Retirement Estate home. 148728
Picture: SUPPLIED
Residents speaking out GANNON Lifestyle Group recently conducted video interviews of 31 residents from four different retirement estates across South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. One of the questions asked of the residents was “why they moved into a retirement estate”. Similar answers quickly emerged. The first was downsizing. With family homes empty after their children moved out, retirees are often left with large homes and gardens that require constant attention and maintenance. Tasks that were pre-
viously easy, get increasingly difficult as time progresses. Wodonga Gardens Retirement Estate offers a ‘maintenance-free’ lifestyle with tasks such as gardening and home maintenance taken care of by estate maintenance staff. This frees retirees from the worry of maintenance and gives them back time to spend enjoying and participating in the vibrant communities they are now a part of. Many retirees no longer felt safe in their old homes, their neighbourhoods had changed significantly
over time with long-term residents selling up and moving on, creating a feeling of uneasiness and vulnerability. Wodonga Gardens is a gated retirement estate with a like-minded community of retirees where people look out for each other, providing a genuine feeling of security. In-home emergency medical call systems with assistance available at the push of a button provide peace of mind to residents and their families. Retirees interviewed said that they wished they had made the
move earlier and didn’t realise what they were missing. They enjoyed having total independence with the benefits of new friends, an enjoyable lifestyle and living in a secure community. Several residents also said their health improved significantly after moving, citing their relaxing lifestyle as the main factor for the improvement.

Carefree times at Wodonga Gardens.
Wodonga Gardens is a vibrant, gated community of like minded retirees looking to get the most out of life. Our beautifully appointed freestanding Villas come in a range of designs and price points to suit your lifestyle. After their children left home, Dan and Joan decided to downsize from their large home. “It was way too big for just two people.” They were looking for a new community that was also pet friendly. At Wodonga Gardens, Dan and Joan found their new home. “We don’t have any maintenance and we made lots of new friends. It’s really improved our lives.”

Riverwood is the answer SYDNEY resident Roughiyeh Abbasi, 68, has been looking for a quaint home of her own to settle down in but has found it hard to come by a place that is private and comfortable where she can be cared for but still keep her own independence. Her daughter, Sanaz and her partner Steven Leonair have looked above and beyond throughout the metropolitan area to find the right place for Ms Abbasi but nothing was to her liking. Ms Abbasi has family who settled on the Border around 1983 and so with close relations she’s been thinking about relocating and wanted her daughter and son-in-law to scope out retirement villages in the area for her. Mrs Leonair said that her mother ideally wanted a place close to the water and away from the hustle and hazards of the city. “After checking out other retirement estates we found that Riverwood in West Albury would be the perfect place for her to come,” Mrs Leonair said. “She has family here, it’s a great community and there are plenty of cafes close by.” Riverwood is located only two kilometres from the Albury CBD, and the private hospital and specialists are only 200 metres away. “Mum likes the fact that there’s a residential area as well as assistance living, “She knows that she can come in and get her blood pressure taken and things like that but has her own home and independence,” Mrs Leonair said.

Helping kids to learn about banking HUME Bank sees improving financial literacy in the region as one of its core community responsibilities and works closely with schools to provide essential financial education. Hume provides children access to great banking products and financial literacy education through its School Banking Program, with 49 schools across the region now participating. Hume’s commitment to financial literacy has been nationally recognised; winning Canstar’s Best Value Youth Banking and Education Award over four years. This year, Hume has launched its fourth educational financial literary book, the Junior Saver Club, Save and Win activity book, designed to educate and encourage good savings behaviour from an early age. This year Hume’s Junior Saver Club Save and Win activity book follows Clancy Koala and his friends at the snow as they learn the basics of banking, understand the difference between needs and wants, set savings goals, and stick to a budget to achieve them. The activity book also includes activities and prizes to reward children for their saving efforts by collecting coin stickers for deposits in branch or through school banking of $1 or more. Stickers are redeemable for children to collect up to four fantastic prizes over the year. Clancy has also left clues throughout the activity book to help guess his secret message. If children or students think they have worked out Clancy’s message, then they can jump online or visit any Hume branch and fill out a Clancy Clue form for their chance to win a party with Clancy. Hume’s Junior Saver Club, Save and Win Activity books are free and will be available from all Hume branches, Albury’s Regent Cinema and at participating schools.
Hume Bank and Clancy Koala can help kids learn to save.
Back to school tips for parents STARTING the new school year can be a time of great excitement ... and anxiety. Help calm your child’s fears (and your own) with these teacherapproved tips. Meet the new teacher For kids, one of the biggest backto-school fears is “Will I like my new teacher?” Breaking the ice early on is one of the best ways to calm everyone’s fears. Take advantage of your school’s open house or back-to-school night. Some teachers welcome phone calls or e-mails - another great opportunity to get to know each other before the year begins. If personal contact with the teacher isn’t possible, try locating the teacher’s picture on a school website or in a yearbook, so your child can put a name
from last year’s class and finding out which children are in your child’s class this year. Refresh these relationships before school starts by scheduling a play date or a school carpool. Tool up Obtain the class supply list and take a special shopping trip with your child. Having the right tools will help him/ her feel prepared. While keeping basic needs in mind, allow for a couple of splurges like a cool notebook or a favorite-coloured pen. These simple pleasures make going back to school a lot more fun. School supply lists also provide great insight into the schoolwork ahead. Get your child excited about upcoming projects by explaining how new supplies might be used. Let them
practice using supplies that they have not used before - such as coloured pencils or a protractor - so they will be comfortable using them in class. Switching from a summer to a school schedule can be stressful to everyone in the household. Avoid firstday-of-school mayhem by practicing
your routine a few days in advance. Set the alarm clock, go through your morning rituals, and get in the car or to the bus stop on time. Routines help children feel comfortable, and establishing a solid school routine will make the first day of school go much smoother.

with a face. If your child’s teacher sends a welcome letter, be sure to read the letter together. Tour the school If your school hosts an open house, be sure to go. Familiarising your child with his/her environment will help him/her avoid a nervous stomach on the first day. Together you can meet the teacher, find his/her desk, or explore the playground. With an older child, you might ask them to give you a tour of the school. This will help refresh his/her memory and yours.

The first days of school
Getting back to school is made easier with Albury Uniforms and Schoolwear.
Start the year on style ANOTHER school year is just a few short weeks away and thanks to Albury Uniforms and Schoolwear your child will be prepared with the right uniform and off to a great start to the year. Albury Uniforms and School-
wear, which was formerly owned and operated for 20 years by Sheila McLeod, was taken over by her niece Lisa Strauss and is now located at 1104 Mate Street, North Albury. The shop caters to schools in
Albury and as far as Beechworth, Burrumbuttock and throughout the surrounding district. It manufactures girls’ summer dresses and winter skirts in store so that the girls can enjoy a made-tomeasure service.
It also supplies corporate uniforms for any business within the Albury Wodonga area. From industrial workwear and medical scrubs to reception staff, it also provides businesses and schools with custom logos. 1210409-ACM52-15
TRY these strategies to help your child (and you) get in the groove of the first days of school. Get up early. This means you can have a relaxed breakfast, leave enough time to deal with upsets and still get to school on time. Don’t talk about how much you will miss your child. Don’t let your own worries get in the way. Walk your child into school (or put him/her on the school bus) and then talk to other parents if you need support. Your child has enough to worry about on the first day without soothing your anxieties. Focus on fun. If you escort your child to school, check out the playground before you go in. Meet the teacher together and take a look around the new classroom for things you know he/she enjoys, like art supplies, a fish tank, or the reading corner. If your child gets upset, acknowledge the feeling and ask him/her for suggestions. You might say, “I know you’re upset. I bet other kids are too. Let’s think about what will help you feel better.” Suggest reading a book together or starting an activity. Ask the teacher for help. If your child won’t let you go, turn to the teacher. She probably has a lot of experience with this. You might say, “Let’s go say hello to your teacher together. She will take great care of you.” Make a swift exit. Take your cue from the teacher and from your child, but when it’s time to go, go. A quick exit may be more useful to your child than a drawn-out goodbye. You can often call school later to check on how a young child is doing. And you’ll probably find out that he/she is doing fine.

Fire-fighters fighting still NEARLY two weeks after the Barnawartha fire was contained, fire-fighters from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and Parks Victoria continue to work on the fire ground. Firefighters are blacking out burning stumps, assessing and dealing with dangerous trees, clearing access tracks and working with landowners who were impacted by the fire. DELWP’s Operations Director - Hume, Tony Long, said while rain over the fire ground had assisted to extinguish the remaining hotspots within the fire perimeter, fire-fighters continued to be kept busy. “While a lot of work has been completed since the fire was contained on Christmas Day, crews are still dealing with dangerous trees, tracks and other impacts,” Mr Long said. “Once we are satisfied that these works have been com-
pleted, the fire will be declared safe.” Parks Victoria District Manager, Daniel McLaughlin, said crews were also working closely with landholders to assess the impact on boundary fencing adjacent to the park. “Several tracks remain closed within the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park as we continue to identify and remove dangerous trees,” Mr McLaughlin said. “These areas will be reopened to the community once the tree and access works have been completed and it is safe to do so.” DELWP and Parks Victoria officers continue to work with local authorised wildlife carers to rehabilitate and return injured and displaced wildlife to the wild. The Barnawartha-Indigo Creek Road fire started on 20
December last year and burnt 6675 hectares of private and public land including about 1500 hectares of the ChilternMt Pilot National Park. It was contained on Christmas Day (25 December) thanks to firefighting resources from Country Fire Authority (CFA), DELWP, Parks Victoria and NSW Rural Fire Service. DELWP and Parks Victoria firefighters have attended 84 fires on public land in the Hume Region since the beginning of summer, many of which have been started from lightning and campfires. DELWP advises people who see injured and/or sick native wildlife on roadsides to report it to Wildlife Victoria on 1300 094 535. An authorised wildlife carer will then be informed to appropriately handle, assess and care for the animal.

2015 – THE YEAR THAT WAS
Coverage of importance By MONIQUE KUZEFF WITH increasing domestic violence against women in Australia, Albury Wodonga NewsWeekly felt it was appropriate to provide ample coverage on the unforgiving issue. The front page of this issue was hard to miss, with a large white ribbon on a black background and the line “IT NEEDS TO STOP”. Six pages were dedicated to the serious and much-needed discussion and the White Ribbon Founda-
tion contributed information to help make people aware of the facts behind the figures. Topics discussed were gender equity in the workplace, relationships between men and women, White Ribbon Foundation’s vision and plan of action, ways one can help to prevent the issue, and more. Albury Wodonga NewsWeekly supported the White Ribbon Foundation’s vision and campaign to stop violence against women.
White Ribbon Foundation’s mission is to stop violence against women. 148837

Swing safely: Make certain that your own feet - not your partner’s arms - are in charge of supporting your weight during a swing. 6. Twirl safely: Leading a lady into a twirl by (gently, smoothly) raising her right hand should be done as a suggestion only - it is the lady’s prerogative to follow the lead or override it. Never hold her hand so tightly that she can’t escape your grip and never “crank“ her arm as that can tear her rotator cuff or cause ‘frozen shoulder.’ 7. Better never than late: If you get behind in the count, sim-
ply shorten or skip a move entirely in order to be ready to start the next move, in time and on beat. Conversely, don’t hurry through a move so much that you get ahead of the count - there are no points given for being the first one finished! 8. Recovery: If you lose your place and all else fails, relax! Simply wait for the next partner/neighbor swing and pick up from there. 9. Graceful exit: If you must drop out mid-dance (this is rare), please try to hang on until you are out at the top or bottom of the set.

TIPS on technique: 1. Glide, don’t bounce: Seek to glide smoothly in your dance movements, as if you were balancing a book on your head while dancing. This is particularly important during a swing ... hanging on to you while you bounce around in circles can be jarring and tiring for your partner. 2. Make eye contact: Make eye contact with anyone with whom you are executing any sort of figure, however briefly; it is a polite way of acknowledging their presence as your momentary partner in the dance figure. As an extra added bonus making eye contact reduces dizziness during sustained turns (e.g. swings, gypsies, and allemandes). 3. Give weight: Picture the arm tension you use when helping a seated person stand up. This is called “giving weight” and provides the energy both people use in a swing, allemande, ladies chain, petronella twirl, and many other moves. Don’t be a noodle arm! 4. Feel the music / count the beats: Listen for the downbeats and let your body flow with the rhythm of the dance. You may also count to eight over and over in your head if that helps keep you on time, as each musical phrase is designed to take eight beats, but the biggest cue will always be

MYPA also offers a ballet class specifically designed for adults. With classes operating over the January holidays it is a great place to encourage the kids to get out and active in a fun and challenging environment. Ms Ellis said there is a fantastic program offered for children aged two to four years old. “It is a huge amount of fun for the kiddies and it is well structured and designed for their age group,” Ms Ellis said. “One of the nicest things is watching them enjoy themselves with the music.” Dance has many benefits for kids. It not only helps with their
co-ordination but also their academic performance. Ms Ellis said other areas that dance develops in kids are memory, listening skills, selfdiscipline, balance, physical fitness and creativity. “They enjoy it because it helps them express themselves in various ways, “They form strong friendships over the years. It becomes an extended family.” Dancing helps keep kids occupied, teaches them life skills and develops them for the future so come along to the MYPA open week and check it out.

WHEN it comes to children, every parent wants to do the very best to make sure they get a great start in life. Quality dance classes that are tailored for young children under the guidance of qualified and experienced teachers can give them a real boost towards achieving vital school-readiness skills and make all the difference to their early schooling experiences. Things like learning to mix with others, share and take turns, and listen to and follow instructions are all important for their early social development and are a central part of the Tot-time program at the Regional Academy of Performing Arts (RAPA). Good gross motor skills, balance and co-ordination also gives children a great start and can also help improve reading and writing skills later on. Dance also gives children self-confidence and provides a wonderful medium for self-expression and creativity. It sets in place great habits around grooming, good posture and being physically active and healthy. RAPA’s Tot-time classes also include music and singing, creative play and mime and group dances which make them super fun as well. Dance is great for girls and boys of all ages and RAPA has classes in ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary and music theatre. There are also classes for adults and seniors. No-one is ever too young or too old to dance! There are great classes for those who just want to have fun and RAPA also does its best to provide the highest quality training even for recreational students.

Director Libby Ellis said anyone can come along and it’s only a gold coin donation for a class which will go to charity. “One of the other things we are trying to do here is classes for kids with disabilities,” Ms Ellis said. “We will also be starting drama classes this year which will also happen in the open week.” Ms Ellis said the classes set the girls some healthy goals in between studying or working and has something to offer everyone, no matter what their aspirations. MYPA offers a wide variety of classes including jazz, tap, contemporary, funk, hip hop, ballet, drama and musical theatre. With highly qualified and experienced staff, MYPA offers training along the syllabus of the Royal Academy of Dance.

Looking to recapture their glory days or actually have some in the case of the younger sister, they throw one final high-school-style party for their classmates, which turns into the cathartic rager that a bunch of ground-down adults really need. The early party scenes are funny and a little poignant as what the sisters thought would be a wild night becomes mild beyond belief. This is, at it’s essence, a comedy about growing up and letting go for those of us whose lives didn’t begin at 40 as promised on the box. Fey is the irresponsible sister who can’t get her life together despite having a daughter in her late teens and Poehler
is her younger sister - the safe dependable one who won’t take a chance on life (their character traits are hammered home over and over). Dianne Wiest and James Brolin are two of the delights of this movie, perfectly cast as the parents trying to get their daughters to grow up and cut the cord finally. They’re funny and yet, unlike the two mainstays, don’t have to go over the top to get their point across (and don’t labour the point either). This is a comedy of awkwardness, brash and in your face one minute and then understated and real the next. It could and should work but struggles under laboured points and a need to tell you it’s being funny. – Tania Phillips

GIVE your child a better start to life! At Gymbaroo you can enjoy quality time with your infant or child in a fun environment while learning about early childhood development throughout 45-minute, age appropriate sessions. Gymbaroo’s program is based on 30 years of research and development and is designed to help your child acquire the essential foundations
for school readiness. It also enables parents to learn about the importance of neurological development and mindsets in infants and children. Age appropriate enrolments for term one are open now and are filling up quickly. It’s all about fun and learning through the concept of movement and socialisation so that your infant or child can undergo those milestones to enhance their development.
SOMETIMES comedy is subtle and well thought out, not here, not today. Sisters feels like a collection of jokes thrown at the wall to see what sticks and some of them really do, but then there are moments when the sludge slides down and forms a mess on the floor. And yet it’s a cohesive story with a nice - if slightly schmaltzy message - that you are never too old to grow up, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. This is hit and miss and when it hits, it’s great and funny and worth the price of admission but when it misses it’s uncomfortable and over the top - though if you can get through the first 10 excruciating minutes as we’re introduced to the characters, you’ll make it to the end - probably. Sisters reunited Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, with Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore at the helm. If you’re a fan of The Hangover, Knocked Up and movies of that ilk then this could very well be your cup of tea - if not, well, there are funny moments. Two disconnected sisters are summoned home to clean out
Learning has never been so much fun! The first years are the most important in childhood development. Through a proven effective program GymbaRoo offers age appropriate classes especially designed to maximise your child‛s learning potential.

Rockin’ it with the All-Stars Ballet DIRECT from the US comes the Australian Tour of 'The Sun Records All-Stars' - a celebration of the birth of Rock ’n' Roll in the 1950s, tracing the music from it’s humble roots in Memphis, Tennessee, to it’s dramatic peak as a worldwide musical and cultural phenomenon. Sun Records was launched by legendary American Producer Sam Phillips and became the launching pad for numerous Rock ’n' Roll Greats, including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison. This show, coming to Albury’s Commercial Club on 6 February, is a celebration of those early Sun Record stars. The Sun Records All-Stars features the talents of four well-known tribute stars performing the greatest hits of Sun Records live and in concert, mixing witty and interesting dialogue into the mix to create a unique combination that is both engaging, entertaining and informative. The show features the cast performing unique combinations of duets, group numbers and medleys in order to create a premier 1950s Rock ’n' Roll experience - the cast includes Bill Culp as Carl Perkins, Joe Passion as as Jerry Lee Lewis, Gino Monopoli as Elvis Presley and Roy LeBlanc as Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison. The show is presented in two parts. Part One sees Sun Records’ hits from Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis and recapping the story of the label. Song highlights include That’s Alright Mama, Blue Suede Shoes, Folsom Prison Blues, Great Balls Of Fire, I Walk The Line and many others. Part Two is the expansion of the music to include the latter portion of their ca-
at its finest
reers performing hits from other legendary artists of the 1950s. Song highlights include Heartbreak Hotel, All Shook Up, Ring Of Fire and medleys from Little Richard and Chuck Berry, and a surprise appearance from Roy Orbison. Also featured is an acoustic

Pool your bets for some value adding A SWIMMING pool is definitely an attraction for buyers looking for a home offering great indoor and outdoor living, especially over the summer selling season. Many experts agree that a pool can increase your home’s value, but it is difficult to quantify exactly how much. This really depends on where you are living, but for the right property and location a pool can be a wonderful addition as well as provide monetary advantages at sale time.
There are other important aspects you need to consider such as a pool design that suits your backyard and doesn’t overwhelm your garden. A pool should complement a property, rather than take attention away from it. They are considered statement pieces and should add aesthetic value. Many pools are now almost an extension of the house, making them visible from dining areas and other rooms within the home. Available in a range of shapes and sizes to suit most backyards,
21 Peacock Ave, Wodonga
pools are now an option even in areas where blocks are decreasing in size. In fact, pools can be built on rooftops - particularly in apartment towers - or in the basements of homes or apartments. For those considering installing a pool, it’s important to be aware of all the relevant standards and regulations that apply to installation. This is vital, especially in the area of safety, as owners need to ensure pool fences are of
the highest quality. Before embarking on any backyard improvement projects or pool installation, owners should bear in mind the danger of over-capitalising their home. This is where advice from your real estate agent on comparable local homes can assist - those with and without a pool. If you are selling your home, a neglected pool can be an eyesore, so ensure your pool is vacuumed, the water crystal clear and free of
leaves and other debris. Clean the edging tiles and store away pool materials including the cleaning equipment and covers. Outdoor furniture should be displayed to present an attractive and inviting entertaining area. When looking to buy a home with a pool, it’s also important to ensure the pool meets planning and safety regulations. The agent will be able to provide you with the Section 32 which will contain all the relevant details.

Not just a new name… but also a new look with new sections.
The feature event winner Dean Heseltine in AMCA.
Hot on the speedway By DEAN THOMPSON WANGARATTA Speedway got underway for the postChristmas season in scorching 34-degree heat on Saturday 9 January. There was a big program of feature events to entertain the dirt track faithful and local drivers featured among the big wins. Lavington NSW based driver Craig Cottier took an important ‘Darren Levy Memorial’ Sports Sedan victory and Corowa youngster Jack Milthorpe the same in ‘North East Rising Star Challenge’ Junior Sedans. Visiting divisions were the main act with the V8 powered AMCA class being won by Dean Hestletine and Shepparton’s Geoff Meyers winning the Compact Speedcar ‘Cardwell Cup’. Standard Saloons victory went to Liam Powell, Gary Kakoschke in Marsh Modified Sedans and Ladies Sedans to Kayla Knox. AMCA Nationals are popular right across Australia and 20 of Victoria’s hard chargers lined up for the latest Country Cup round where Dean Hestletine would take victory ahead of ahead of a great challenge by Bill Lodwick and Northern Territory champion Jamie Collins. A number of race incidents - including unavoidable contact between the race winner and the leader at the time Zeke Edwards who both had nowhere to deviate to coming out of turn two with a spun backmarker sitting on track in front of them and a rollover to Sharon Tindal -

Round one of the Darren Levy Memorial series began very well for Craig Cottier, a cousin of the late Darren Levy taking a satisfying win over Nagambie’s Aaron Bunton, Jimmy Powell, Daniel Unternahrer and Georgette Meunier in the Sports Sedans. Cottier was the red-hot favourite going into the event and secured a front row race start after a win and two seconds in heat racing before heading off ahead of Corey Knox and the field early in the race, never to be headed. Junior drivers from the north east of Victoria and as far away as Portland and Young in NSW arrived to do battle at Wangaratta in the first round of a two round miniseries to crown a North East Rising Star winner. Milthorpe from border town Corowa was too good in two of the three heats for all chal-

lengers before he blitzed in the feature to defeat Daniel Powell, Coby Elliott, Rick McAuliffe and Jake Cottier. Meyers in the Compact Speedcars wanted to make up for bad luck that ended his run at the recent Victorian title held at Rushworth Speedway to take a win in the Cardwell Cup and he did so with a great commanding win over Will Van Der Ark, Keith Astrella, Butch Hutchinson and Gavin Gay. The most exciting race of the night was the Standard Saloon final where Gary Evans led before Beechworth racer Liam Powell picked off with one lap to go and head off to victory with Evans, Josh Delarue, Daniel Joosten and Jack Bear rounding out the top five and Kakoschke was too strong for challengers in his Marsh Modified Sedan division when he beat Stewart Knight, Timothy Knight, Justin Bradley and Greg Knight who suffered mechanical gremlins while challenging for a win and limping to the line in fifth.

Dixon claims five wickets
By MONIQUE KUZEFF THE first round of the short track series saw a high quality field and racing and drew in a crowd of around 1000 people. Albury Wodonga Motorcycle Club president Shane Clare said both local and out of town racers were extremely competitive competing hard but fair. “It was a really competitive class during the final round, the lead changed five times,” Mr Clare said. “Good crowd up on the hill and it was nice and cool once the sun went down.” There were 35 events that took place from junior to veterans senior classes. First place was Josh Antone, second place was Chris Seaton and Mark Jones took out third place. Outstanding local riders included Remmie Fyffe who led the age 11 to13 class and Archie McDonald who led the age 9 to 11 class. ADAM WILSON captured the Albury Wodonga Motorcycle Club action on Saturday at Lincoln Causeway.
