RECENTLY declared the world’s first Certified Organic fast food chain, Oliver’s Real Food serves fresh, natural and organic food.

So why is organic food better than food made from conventionally farmed produce?

“Organic produce has a higher nutritional payload than food grown under conventional farming methods,” said Jason Gunn, founder of Oliver’s Real Food.

“And it’s not contaminated by pesticides and fertilisers, so we use it as much as possible.”

Foreign chemicals also deplete the soil. This impacts on the naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and organic compounds in produce that are essential for good health.

For example, choosing organic food substantially increases your intake of antioxidants.

Antioxidants are important for good health as they reduce the risk of heart disease and the chances of developing cancer.

An analysis, conducted by the University of Newcastle, found: organic crops are between 2070 per cent higher in a number of key antioxidants than conventionally grown crops.

This analysis of the difference between organic and conventional crops found: “eating organic fruit, vegetables and cereals, and food made from them - would provide additional antioxidants equivalent to eating one to two extra portions of fruit and vegies per day”.

Newcastle University’s Professor Carlo Leifert, who led the study, says: “This study demonstrates that choosing food produced according to organic standards can lead to increased intake of nutritionally desirable antioxidants and reduced exposure to toxic heavy metals.

“Organic food also has anti-ageing properties and is good for brain health. It’s also a responsible choice for the health of your children as they grow up.

“As well as the obvious health benefits, organic farming practices are better for the environment, reducing the amount of pesticides and fertilisers that leach into the soil or drain into our waterways. So when people make a sensible

choice for their own health, they are also making a better choice for our planet.

“Our ethos at Oliver’s - ‘feed your good’ is all about enhancing the health and well-being of our customers and the planet,” said Jason Gunn.

“Every decision we make as a business is measured by how much good we can do. That’s why we use organic produce and sponsor young organic farmers.

“We offer our customers peace of mind knowing our food has the highest nutritional benefit and is free of additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients.

Local residents and people driving through Albury can now choose from a variety of nutrient rich foods including: salads, sushi, signature gourmet pita pockets, chia pods, yoghurt cups, organic soups and curries, sandwiches, protein balls and healthy kids’ meals.

“Or try our tasty Certified Organic Green Beans - our healthy alternative to fries. These are lightly steamed and slightly crisp to retain nutrients, then sprinkled with Oliver’s Himalayan salt with 84 trace minerals.

So if you want to eat healthy fast food, go to Oliver’s at 341 Wagga Road, Lavington, for a highly nutritious alternative to junk food.

‘Different’ life in new land Arriving in Australia with only a duffel bag each in their possession, Bhutanese partners Mon Chhetri and Dmanti Gurung quickly discovered how “different” the lifestyle would be from the one they had in a Nepal refugee camp READ MORE, PAGE 7

Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop also participated in a Q&A session with students from four local secondary colleges during her visit to Wodonga on Friday. 155533 Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF

Mirabella ‘feisty’

By MONIQUE KUZEFF WHEN asked whether Liberal candidate Sophie Mirabella had been targeted for her “strong personality” and in the media, Liberal Party deputy leader Julie Bishop said it was a challenge that came from the “constant media cycle” and that Ms Mirabella was a “bright, intelligent, feisty woman”.

Ms Bishop visited Wodonga last week at the request of Ms Mirabella, to support the Liberal candidate’s reelection campaigning.

With Ms Mirabella having lost the seat of Indi to Independent candidate

Cathy McGowan in 2013 by just 439 votes, Ms Bishop agreed it would be another tight race this year but believed the Liberals could reclaim the seat once again.

Having worked alongside Ms Mirabella during the Howard Government’s reign, Ms Bishop said she had “always known her to be a passionate advocate for her community”.

“She’s campaigning as a part of a team that can deliver for this electorate,” Ms Bishop said.

“Last time she was the member she

worked so hard to deliver infrastructure services, health and education and then she worked so closely with Sussan Ley (Farrer MP) to get that bypass for the $518 million Hume Highway.”

The 2013 election resulted in a close win in Indi, with Ms Mirabella having the seat pushed out from underneath her with the 439 “party preference” votes going to Ms McGowan.

When asked whether it was important for Independents to declare who they would vote for if there were to be a hung parliament in the upcoming election, Ms Bishop said “absolutely,

they should be held to account.”

“I believe that all Independents should come out and say who they would support and which particular policies of theirs they support,” she said.

“You can look at the track record, for example, of the member here of her track record of backing Labor.

“She backed Labor’s carbon tax and I assume, if she’s consistent, she will back Labor’s carbon tax again.”

Ms Bishop said she wondered why an Independent would not back the Coalition Government’s plan for eco-

nomic growth and more jobs.

“I think voters remember the dysfunctional years of the Rudd-GillardRudd government ... it was a time of great instability and uncertainty and I don’t believe the Australian people want to see a return to those days,” she said.

“We have a plan for economic growth, more jobs for backing small businesses and tax incentives for small businesses, “I want to hear why an Independent wouldn’t back the Coalition’s plan for a stronger economy and more jobs.”

Simply the best choice of LAND. Both sides of the border.

Trains are ‘moving forward’

Let there be solar lights

By MONIQUE KUZEFF THE Andrews Government’s commitment to “improve” the north east train line is “something that is moving the issue forward”, according to Indi’s Labor candidate Eric Kerr who welcomed the commitment.

Early this month, the State Government announced it would be looking to restore and reconfigure the Albury to Melbourne line’s “classic trains” by looking at a long-term plan for their replacement of “highspeed rail.”

The state budget allocated $15 million to the north-east line out of the $1.3 billion invested in regional rail.

The budget outlined that the money would go towards an “extra carriage” that would enable north east line trains to be reconfigured to boost reliability. It would also be used to refurbish the carriages to make them cleaner and more comfortable for passengers.

Mr Kerr believed the $15 million funding allocation to north east rail improvements would be feasible under the State Government and looked forward to “seeing this process through”.

Mr Kerr said there was certainly an underfunding on the north east railway as a result of having to cater for the masses but that it should not be at the disadvantage of regional Victoria.

“Part of the issue is always going to be the mass of people,” Mr Kerr said.

“The population in Melbourne is millions and here we’ve got a considerable popu-

“I congratulate the mayor for being successful in the second round of the program.

“We know that strong and prosperous communities also have to be safe.”

Ms Speedie said the solar lights were made with new technology, with an increased

light volume as people come closer to them.

“These solar lights are pretty unique and use new technology that increases the light volume as people come near,” Ms Speedie said.

“This means we can all get out, walk, ride our bikes and use our green spaces even in the winter months when it is a little darker.”

Labor candidate Eric Kerr encourages communities to provide feedback to Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan and the State Government to help progress the north east Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF rail. 155410 lation but still we have to deal with the larger mass.

“But I think the region has suffered for far too long.”

Mr Kerr attended one of 38 Regional Network Development Plan (RNDP) consultation workshops that were held across the state last year, which formed the report by the State Government outlining a longterm plan to improve public transport in regional Victoria.

Mr Kerr said the plan pro-

vided a “clear path for better services” and that he would be working with the Andrews Government to achieve an outcome.

“I think we need to concentrate on making sure that there’s direct communication between the citizens and the local members so the community is heard and understood.

“It’s important for the community to pass their feedback on to the Public Transport Minister and Daniel Andrews to enable them to act on it.”

WILLOW Park and Belvoir Park will receive 90 solar security lights between them to improve the safety of cyclists and pedestrians using the paths.

The solar lights come as a $192,740 part of the second round of the Coalition’s safer streets program.

Liberal Party deputy leader Julie Bishop announced the funding in Wodonga on Friday on her visit to the area.

Ms Bishop said the safer streets funding had been rolled out across Australia to ensure communities could build necessary structures to keep public areas safe.

“The 90 solar lights will be placed in those parks so the users such as cyclists, pedestrians and families can feel safe and secure,” Ms Bishop said.

“This is to ensure anti-social behavior is minimised and hopefully prevented and that families and communities can feel safer in those beautiful environments.”

Ms Bishop acknowledged Liberal candidate Sophie Mirabella and Wodonga Mayor Anna Speedie for their efforts towards obtaining the second round funding.

“The application was made at the urging of Sophie Mirabella and the Wodonga Council

Dog of a day

Humbled by honour

By MONIQUE KUZEFF

By MONIQUE KUZEFF

FOUNDER of the Border’s Margaret Court Tennis Academy Phillip Shanahan was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) on Monday for almost 35 years of service to education, to tennis and to the community.

Mr Shanahan was awarded the OAM as a part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours, which acknowledge the outstanding effort and services individuals contribute to their community and country.

Having been a teacher for 34 years, a sportsmaster for 15 years, a religious education co-ordinator for five years and director of the end of year school production for about 20 years - it is no wonder Mr Shanahan was one to receive an OAM. He also served Mercy International Orphanages in Thailand since 2005 as a supporter and volunteer taking students, parents and community members to undertake a range of projects at the Children’s First Farm in Kilmore and Moira’s House in Melbourne.

For six years in the 1980s, he was involved with the St Vincent de Paul Society in Sydney and Albury.

Mr Shanahan said he was “humbled, surprised and honoured” to have received the OAM in recognition of his efforts.

“It’s something you never expect because there are just so many people who do so many things for the community,” Mr Shanahan said.

“You do these things never expecting to receive an award for them, but I’ve been recognised for doing the things I love to do.

“It’s once again a bit of surprise and an absolute honour.”

Mr Shanahan grew up on various farms in Tallangatta and the surrounding region before moving to Albury.

He founded Margaret Court Tennis Academy in tribute of one of Australia’s greatest tennis players, his aunty, Margaret Court.

“About 15 years ago I started to realise a lot of the juniors in the local area didn’t know who Margaret was, so it was my way of giving her the recognition she deserved as being one of the greatest sportspeople of all time,” he said.

“Since then, the academy has produced 27 Australian titles - and I’ve only just returned from Paris where I was for the French Open and our boy Sam Groth played against Raphael Nadal.”

As a primary school teacher and a tennis coach, Mr Shanahan said his biggest highlight over the past 35 years had been able to “see young people transform in to incredible adults”.

“We have players who are now coaching around the world and who have gone on and done incredible things in their careers,” he said.

“Knowing that tennis has given them discipline and a great attitude towards life, and taught them respect is such a rewarding feeling.”

“I love teaching and if I were sent back to do a job again, I would choose teaching again as the number on vocation and missionary and charity work is also very close to my heart.

“Every day is a highlight for me as I’ve been touched by so many lives and have amazing friends and family - every day when I walk into a classroom of 30 kids, I smile.”

Mr Shanahan has also been a recipient of an Australian Sports Medal, New South Wales Primary Schools Sports Association Award, and Tennis Victoria Award.

DESPITE a petition, letters and pleas to Wodonga Council asking it to continue allowing Wodonga Dog Rescue (WDR) to operate in the upgraded and soon-to-be vacated pound facility, the rescue group has been asked to move out of the premises by 1 July.

While WDR has announced it would not be shutting its doors on the community, it urged more people to get on board and become foster carers.

The decision came after great support on social media encouraged WDR to continue its efforts, but without a space to operate in its members are calling for the support of foster carers more now than ever.

WDR has operated at the facility for over five years helping to find homes and loving families for hundreds of abandoned, surrendered and homeless dogs.

It was through the help of foster carers that many dogs (and cats) have been given a second chance at a life.

Currently there are about six regular foster carers who are providing temporary homes for the dogs but this number would have to increase if WDR is to save the dogs before it vacates the pound facility.

While adoptions have slowed, dogs are still coming into the pound at a consistent rate at 15 to 20 each month.

There are currently about 40 dogs that are seeking homes.

Wodonga Dog Rescue president Peta McRae said they were looking for foster carers who

“We want foster carers who are committed and won’t get tired and hand the dogs back before they find a home,” Ms McRae said.

“Now that we don’t have a facility to operate in it makes it harder for us to contain the dogs while we look to re-home them.”

While fostering can be hard work and challenging, Ms McRae said it was also one of the most rewarding experiences.

“The love and care the foster dog can provide is so worth it,” she said.

“If you don’t have another dog and you’re thinking about getting one, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a try.”

With the pound to be left empty for “emergencies only” WDR is frustrated at the council decision to move pound operations to Albury.

“It’s just going to be an inconvenience for so many people because those in towns further away are going to have to drive a further 20 minutes to pick up their dog from the pound,” Ms McRae said.

“The ranger sometimes makes three to five trips to the pound each day - it’s going to inconvenience him too.

“They’ve (council) just spent the money on upgrading the facility and now it’s going to just sit there. I don’t understand it.”

Ms McRae encouraged anyone who would like to support WDR through fostering a dog or donating bedding, food or toys to contact the rescue group on 0407 538 922 or email peta@ wodongadogrescue.org.au

Men’s shed load of help

By MONIQUE KUZEFF A NEW man cave is looking promising for Wodonga Men’s Shed as contributions flood in from local organisations - including Rotary Club Albury, which recently donated $10,000 towards the cause.

With increasing participation in the Men’s Shed, the space and size of the hub is becoming too small to hold all members and larger shed is required.

The new establishment would also need to be able to accommodate large wood work gear including wood and metal lathes, saws and welding equipment.

The new establishment is expected to cost around $230,000, of which the group has already gathered around $70,000.

Each year the Rotary Club of Albury disperses about $100,000 to eligible community

groups that require assistance.

Rotary Club of Albury president Charlene Gehrig said Wodonga Men’s Shed was successful in their application and offered much benefit and support to men in the community. “Our foundation supports worthy organisations within the Wodonga and Albury area and we heard one of the group’s members speak about the Men’s Shed and large benefits of it,�

Ms Gehrig said. “We were impressed by how they get out and help themselves, building camaraderie and learning new skills.�

The Wodonga Men’s Shed is a place that enables men to get together, socialise, share and develop skills, and build their health and well-being.

Men’s Shed Fund-raising Committee chairman Greg McGuire said the substantial do-

nation from the Rotary Club of Albury meant a “heck of a lot� to the group. “We are eleated really because we’ve got a lot fo money to raise and that goes a long way towards helping us,� Mr McGuire said. “The shed we are currently operating out of is nine times six metres and we can only have seven or eight out of the 65 members doing projects in there, it’s just too small so we need more space.�

The group aimed to have the new shed finished by October 2017 and hoped to have construction under way by the end of the year.

Mr McGuire said the group welcomed donations from the business and encouraged anyone who would like to contribute to contact the Men’s Shed on (02) 6059 8465.

New learning space shapes up Hasty council exit to contest elections

By MONIQUE KUZEFF

By MONIQUE KUZEFF TWO months after the concrete was laid and Wodonga West Primary School’s $4.5 million one-stop-shop Children’s Centre is expected to be completed ahead of schedule in October.

With wall and window framework, plastering and landscaping underway, the furniture and equipment has been already been ordered to ensure a smooth transition into the complex, in four months.

A theme around “nature� is slowly being revealed throughout the building as displayed through architectural designs and elements.

Wodonga West Primary School principal Jocelyn Owen said the nature theme was decided over a day of consultation with the architects, students, parents and school staff. “It’s all starting to happening with everything is pulling together now,� Ms Owen said. “Before the architects designed the building they consulted with us all across a day and all children gave ideas towards what they’d like to see across the building. “They agreed to have nature inside that would open up in to a beautiful landscaped play area so the whole design was built around that.�

The building will include artificial grass and textured autumn coloured carpet as well grey areas to create an appeal of “river rocks�.

Above: Pillars are up, paving Pictures: is ready! 155386 MONIQUE KUZEFF Left: Side exterior of the learning centre. 155386 The “one-stop-shop� children’s centre will provide families with the opportunity to engage in a modern and animated early learning centre and a pre-school for three and fouryear-olds as well as have access to various allied health services.

Premier Building Construction site manager Ash Cooper said the space and size of the complex will make for a great “open plan learning space�. “It’s definitely going to be a great space for children to be in as well as being an interactive and stimulating area not just a standard learning place,� Mr Cooper said. “There are a lot of different

bits and pieces to the building that the kids can interact with too.�

He said it was a good start to the project which put the completion date two weeks ahead of schedule. “6 October is when we are expecting to hand it over to the school which is a lot sooner than intended, so we’ve gone with that date and are working hard to meet it.�

Wodonga West Children’s Centre philosophy is to develop connection and belonging, trust and respect and also to develop a sense of personal competence in young children. Enrolments are now open.

AFTER three years as a councillor for City of Wodonga, Eric Kerr has handed in his resignation to secure his position as Labor candidate for Indi in the upcoming Federal Election.

The decision came after systematic consultation and research by his party’s legal unit which considered Mr Kerr’s leave of absence from council leading up to the Federal Election to be a “substantial risk� to his candidacy that could lead to potential disqualification. “My priority at the moment is the Federal Election, as we’ve only got 22 plus days left to go and that is currently my main focus,� Mr Kerr said.

Elected to council at the age of 18, Mr Kerr was sad to resign from his position.

He said he would have liked to have departed council on less hastier terms to lay out a strong platform and offer advice for other young people who might consider the role in the future. “It was done with a lot of sadness as I loved the role as a councillor,� Mr Kerr said. “I feel privileged to have been that person the community could come to for help regarding something as simple as fixing a pot hole or advice on various things. “I would’ve liked to go out on good terms and lay out a platform for young people.�

Mr Kerr said if he was not successful at the Federal Election he would be “effectively unemployed� and would “likely� go back to completing his undergraduate degree in politics and policy. “When I stood for council it was those interactions with schools and the town I grew up in that kept me going,� he said. “Three years down the track,

an opportunity to tackle federal issues came up and part of the reason I went for it is because I generally care for my community and the greater region. “I was also frustrated and got sick of seeing the work done by government and wanted to do something about it.�

Regardless of election results, Mr Kerr said he looked forward to serving Wodonga in the future. “It has been an honour serving each and every person in the Wodonga community with my fellow councillors and council staff.�

CAN’T MAKE IT ON ELECTION DAY?

If you know you can’t vote on Saturday 2 July, you can vote early.

It’s amazing how powerful a piece of paper can be on election day.

If you are an Australian citizen aged 18 years or over, you are required by law to vote. So, if you’re unable to make it to a polling place on election day, you can vote early at an early voting centre or apply for a postal vote.

You can vote early if you are at work on Saturday 2 July, or will be outside the electorate where you are enrolled. There are other reasons you can vote early – visit www.aec.gov.au/early to find out more.

Your vote will help shape Australia.

Letters Golden tales of old WE came in frantic fashion, so intent on finding gold Our cradles fairly rattled midst the fogs and freezing cold We laid the gullies open for the sun and Gods to see Being short on wealth and rations, bowyanged to the knees.

To save our very beings, we cast aside the spade Leaving desecration rotting with the mess that we had made.

Our goals and dreams of history, Valhalla void of frills With heavy hearts we shouldered axe, and tramped into the hills.

We heard the cry for timber, a nation being born So exterminated forests in every way and form The mighty crack of slovens, as the giants came crashing down Swish of peg and raker on the steep and rugged ground.

Crescendo of the spot-mills, belching steam without a stop Haunting screams slice ancient bodies, messmates and silvertop.

The Native spied the carnage, his Dreaming flayed away Could find no right or reason, didn’t even have a say.

Everywhere around us crept an artery of track Pushing further onward, from the Dart to Hell and back Our forests wept for easing from the onslaught with its tears But mute were our ancestors in those mighty roaring years.

Some heard the cry of reason, but no snigging chains went slack Just wounds and scars and apathy, from Corryong to Gibbo track.

So I waited for an answer from those most wise to speak In desperation sought my solace beside the Snowy Creek.

When forest liberators stand alone before the throng Because you work with the timber, you are sure that they are wrong For every tree that’s fallen on a rugged mountain track Brings a little bit of comfort to a timber worker's shack Spare a thought for all the Greenies who stand to face the blade Hated by the many for the stand that they have made.

Try to see the point of view on the many trees that fall For in every revolution there’s a little right in all.

Farms along all the watersheds, spew their wastage out And this push for bigger dairies, larger incomes without doubt It’s a battle for survival, more cows and milk a must A refusal to grow bigger, makes it hard to earn a crust Our population’s ever growing and pollution seems the same Streams and rivers are just gutters, we all must take the blame Blue green algae quickly spreading, our nation at the brink Of becoming fast a wasteland, with no water fit to drink.

Septic tanks and superphosphates, have permeated all our land Run-offs from spray and factories, these modern times demand Make the waterways all toxic, causing many fish to die We have made this bed to suit us, in it we have to lie There's the cotton fields and mining, when will we take a stand?

Having danced to global waltzes, now we pay the band.

Large cities breast our river, where most contamination’s found There are those who wish them bigger like a worldwide dumping ground.

Without seasons ever changing, when it rained is just a blur Valley smoke is getting thicker from the fires around the spur Creeks and rivers just a trickle, the land so dead and brown Repenting now at leisure since we cut the timber down If we one day in our wisdom see the writing on the wall Should we pass along the message to others standing tall If we want the birds each morning or seasons at their peak A little thought beforehand, keeps a running Snowy Creek.

Bill Whitlam, Tallangatta.

‘Struggle’ is well worth it

By MONIQUE KUZEFF “FOR 20 years we lived in a country in a refugee camp and never smiled.�

This was how 33-year-old Bhutanese man Mon Chhetri spent two decades growing up in Nepal’s Beldangi 3 refugee camp with his family from the age of six.

But it was the only option his parents and grandparents had in order to protect their family from the devastation occurring outside of the camp in both Nepal and Bhutan.

This was because of the ethnic cleansing policy ordered by the Bhutanese Government in the early 1990s.

The policy began as the Bhutanese government felt threatened that the ‘Nepali-speaking’ Bhutanese minority in the south would become a majority.

Targeting this small minority in the south, it divided the country and caused conflict and violence.

The Nepal Government offered refuge to Bhutanese exiles on humanitarian grounds and now over 108,000 refugees are settled in camps across the country.

Mon and his wife Damanti Gurung, 27, lived in Beldangi 3 with his grandparents, parents and siblings under dire conditions with poor education, health facilities and water supply. The camp contained thatch-roofed huts erected in rows, with toilets in between each pair of rows.

Mon said living in the camp was difficult with crime, fights and kidnappings occurring almost on a daily basis. “In the camp life was a struggle,�

Mon said. “We didn’t have much power over our lives or human rights and that’s why we had trouble. “We lived in poor conditions and

Mon Chhetri with his wife Damanti Gurung and their children Raymond, 4, and Ronan, 10 months, at their Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF Lavington home. 155421 there was not much of an education, barely any facilities and no clean drinking water. “The crime was the worst thing

there as we had many problems inside and outside the camps where people would fight often.�

With only two duffel bags in their

possession, Mon and Damanti came to Australia after a drawn-out application on 15 March 2011.

They were supported through a St

Vincent de Paul program that helped them transition into the Australian life and settle in to their new home on the Border.

Mon and Damanti have settled well into their new community and country as well as with the rest of their families.

They now have two Australian-born children, Raymond, 4, and Ronan, 10 months.

Mon now works night shifts in Howlong using a forklift and unloading and loading product for a small business while Demanti looks after their two children.

He said arriving in Australia was a “very happy day� and he and Damanti quickly learnt how different their lifestyle would be to the one they had in the camp. “We now very happy and smile a lot, because life here is totally different from Nepal,� he said. “We have so many facilities here and we have rights and are free to live here. “We have smashed down the education and language barrier and got involved in programs to assist us with this transition.�

Mon and Damanti were presented with their Australian citizenship on 23 May 2016. They were among 56 residents, originally from Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Singapore, UK, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Yugoslavia, China, Netherlands, Fiji, Denmark and Scotland who became Australian citizens in the ceremony. “If we struggle but work hard we can achieve something great,� Mon said. “We now have the most brilliant opportunity to guide our kids and take them in the right direction.�

HOW busy are you?

There are lots of things we are going to get around to, one day. We planned to read a book, or attend one of those free seminars. You might know what research to do if you are going to buy an investment property. But knowing it and doing it are two different things.

I work with busy couples to help them plan and prepare for property investment, so they can act with clarity and purpose. I help you purchase with less stress and with my help to manage the process.

I have dedicated myself to the complex process of planning, research and support. Supported by a team of experts, I take the time to understand your situation, spend countless hours screening potential investments and then present my findings.

You’ll have all the information you need to make important de-

· · · ·

The streamlined service I provide makes property investing achievable, easy and rewarding by connecting you with the right properties.

It’s important to invest within your means, so my service approach is focused on your individual situation and personal goals. I then present options to help you achieve them.

I spend hours thoroughly investigating each opportunity, which results in only 24 per cent of properties being approved for clients. The ones that make the cut, along with my findings, are presented to you, so you can make well-informed decisions.

I am committed to helping you through the entire process by making sure your first step into property investing is achievable, right through to helping you build a rewarding and manageable portfolio. Too busy to do it yourself ?

Winery walk is a sell-out

By MONIQUE KUZEFF RUTHERGLEN’S annual Winery Walkabout was an absolute sell-out this year, with all tickets selling quickly and winery venues packed to the max.

The walkabout this year brought in characters from the likes of naughty nuns, hippies, polo players, golf pros and tennis hoes, stylish 80s, Kath and Kim, cat women, fairies, Mario and Luigi and even the three amigos.

Plenty of wine was poured and tasted and the Rachel Cody and Helen Files dressed as hippies. 155518

Tradies get the...lads? Mandi Walsh, Aimee Shore and Pricilla Hill get in to gear. 155518

town of Rutherglen was filled with wacky colours and market stalls that catered for the whole family to enjoy.

The day produced sunny and warm weather with a top of 14 degrees and a blue sky. There really was no better way to spend the Queen’s Birthday long-weekend than sipping fine wine at some of the region’s most iconic wineries.

But if you happened not to make it to this brilliant annual event, News Weekly’s photographer ADAM WILSON was among the fun to capture it all for you.

Home Entertainment with Geoff Haberecht of Tru Hifi HOME AUDIO VISUAL AND HI-F FI SPECIALISTS

Good Guys on market I HAVE read with interest of the possible float or sale of The Good Guys.

The ramifications for genuine competition in home electronics will erode significantly once the business passes from a truly independent retailer.

There appears to be an abundant number of retailers where you believe you can competitively purchase from.

Behind the scenes three main retail purchasing blocs control the majority of the electronics market.

What is not widely public knowledge is that many electronic retailers purchase together under the buying group NARTA which has 35 members – the likes of JB Hifi, Bing Lee, Myer, David Jones, Radio Rentals, Appliances Online, the reborn Retravision and Betta names among others.

While NARTA facilitates the deals and each business runs its race in the marketplace, the end result is less product and brand choice as each member has to support brands supported

by NARTA. The Good Guys provide the true independent competitive spirit and having come from a independent retail background myself, I realise the negative effect a sale to either group will have on choice and competitiveness.

I only hope in the future that

ALL FLOOR STOCK Minimum less 20% off Retail Prices Except Sonos Don't worry Sonos customers our years best offer awaits!

Any Demo stock over 6 months the discount is higher! the new owners of The Good Guys remain outside the dominant two purchasing organisations, or all of us will probably pay more for our basic electrical items.

Back to Tru Hifi, twice a year I rotate my demonstration stock, all of the items excluding SONOS (I have a special offer so Sonos customers don’t miss out) are a minimum 20 per cent off retail.

On demo items that have been demo models longer than six months, the discounts are

greater. Among the 200-odd brands we also cater for, many of those companies are also in a clearance mode in our virtual world. The opportunities for high quality sound systems have never been more affordable.

(Geoff Haberecht owned and operated a Retravision business in Albury, an independent electrical retail group and along with the competing Betta group of independent retailers saw the exit of over 1000 shopfronts from Australia during the mid-2000s).

Weekly Real Estate Albury Wodonga’s Property Guide

Extra costs cut at outset

By MONIQUE KUZEFF ARE you a new home buyer looking to build? If so, have you asked all the necessary questions to ensure you won’t be forking out additional costs after signing a contract?

Over 30 years, Alatalo Bros has become one of the most trusted and reliable building companies in the Albury Wodonga and Wagga Wagga regions, dealing with both the building and land developing side of property.

Alatalo Bros knows that it is absolutely necessary for potential buyers to ask building and land developing experts the important questions when seeking quotes to ensure they are not paying extra costs that could exceed a further $10,000, after signing a contract.

Alatalo Bros general manager Tony Moyle said it was not the price your house started at that mattered, it was the price it ended at that mattered.

“There can be some hidden traps out there that a lot of people aren’t aware of,” Mr Moyle said.

“You could have a set budget, and you think you’re going to meet it, and then all of a sudden you are slammed with all of these extra costs.

“With Alatalo Bros, we are both the developer and builder, so we have a broad knowledge of what is required across all aspects of building - not just building, but the land development side of things as well.”

The friendly and knowledgeable staff at Alatalo Bros will help guide you towards your dream home. 136540 Mr Moyle said the cheapest quote in town was not always going to fit a home buyer's budget as there were a lot of other things that needed consideration.

“People shouldn’t just be looking

to buy a house because of their budget, they also need to know what’s being included.

“People need to be aware of what is included to make their blocks more practical, and need to ask their builder

what is included in the site costs, otherwise they’ve got to do a lot more work after the house has been built, which might cost them $10,000 to $20,000 extra.”

Alatalo Bros sales manager Mi-

chelle Brown said it was about asking clients the right questions to ensure that once the land was developed and the house was built, it was going to be practical, functional and resalable.

“We try to understand what the client needs for the future are once the house is built,” Ms Brown said.

“If a block of land has a bit of a fall, you’re probably going to need a retaining wall.

“Whether they are going to have a pool or shed, or if they need access to the back of the block, our site cost will allow them to have a usable block at the end of the day.

Other aspects that Alatalo Bros consider for building is the orientation of the house so that the client can minimise electrical heating and cooling requirement and also future property prospects to design a house that can be resold if wanted by the home buyer.

Alatalo Bros encourage home buyers to go out and ask the necessary questions when seeking a quote. Some of these include: Will we have fixed site costs before signing our contract?

What else is required to be added to the base price to finish my home, for example air-conditioner, flyscreens, security doors or bathroom accessories.

Can we ensure the orientation of the house will allow us to minimise our electricity usage?

Albury Wodonga’s Property Guide

Boom in regional towns

Geoff White CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

IT IS with pleasure, as the REIV’s newly appointed CEO, that I provide you with advice and updates on Victoria’s regional property market. This follows long-standing REIV CEO Enzo Raimondo recently stepping down from the role, after a decade and a half at the helm.

I move into the position as a fifth-generation estate agent, and have served on the REIV Board for many years. During my career, I’ve owned and operated my own agency, served as CEO of a growing franchise group and sold a range of property.

It’s been a remarkable few years for the property market, with high listings and solid price growth across the state – some of the strongest I can recall.

While auctions are popular in regional centres, the majority of homes in Victoria are actually sold by private sale.

New REIV data show multiple regional

towns experienced significant improvements in days on market in April - a key market indicator for homes sold privately.

The coastal town of Cape Paterson, south east of Melbourne, experienced the largest annual improvement in days on market in April with its median falling more than 70 days over the year to 109 days.

Homes in the commuter town of Romsey also sold faster in April when compared to the same period last year, down 67.5 days to a median of 80.5 days on market.

Other areas experiencing significant annual declines in days on market include Maffra, down 52 days to a median of 98 days on market; Anglesea, down 46.5 days to a median of 60 days on market; and Heathcote, down 40 days to a median of 88 days on market.

Meanwhile, a number of regional towns had some of the state’s shortest days on market, led by Irymple in north west Victoria. Homes in the town sold in a median of just 22 days in April.

This was followed by Geelong suburbs Herne Hill and Hamlyn Heights, which had medians of 29 and 32 days on market respectively. Other towns performing well in April include Jan Juc with a median of 33 days on market; Waurn Ponds, 33 days; Mildura, 35 days; and Woodend, 39 days.

While 2016 has been a time of change for the market, there are still a number of regions performing strongly, especially in comparison to some Melbourne areas which have moderated in recent months.

Local Sport Fun way to lose weight A FUN, interactive new program aimed at helping overweight children manage their weight is coming to YMCA centres across Victoria.

The Kids Better Health Program is a free healthy lifestyle course for seven to 13-year-olds who are above a healthy weight and their families.

The program will be delivered in Term 3 (from 10 July) at the Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre.

Families take part in group-based, fun weekly sessions for 10 weeks. The program aims to support families to learn about the importance of nutrition, behaviour change and physical activity, and as a result, to improve children’s fitness, physical activity levels, nutrition and self-esteem.

With support from valued YMCA partners, the program is offered to families free of charge for eligible families.

The Kids Better Health Program is an evidence-based healthy lifestyle program for children above a healthy weight as well as their families.

Rather than focusing on weight loss, the program uses practical learning approaches to teach children and parents healthier lifestyle skills including preparing and eating healthy foods, reading food packaging labels and healthy shopping on a budget.

Children also take part in games-based physical activity sessions designed to increase activity levels and be fun.

The program delivers proven results.

Children who take part end up changing their body shape, reducing their waistlines and achieving a healthier weight for their age and height. This results in children who are

fitter, healthier and having greater selfesteem and confidence.

Pam Wheatley, YMCA Regional manager says, “We have seen the positive effects of the program being delivered in other states, and we know that this program really can change a family’s life. The program is fun, friendly and family focused and encourages

them to give new things a go and show parents how they can be supportive.

It involves the whole family in making healthier choices and following an active lifestyle. Children can become healthier and fitter while their selfesteem and confidence improve, too”.

Free places on the Kids Better Health Program are available now.

Families interested in participating should contact the Better Health Company on 1300 822 953 or visit www.

betterhealthcompany.org to register.

Note a parent or carer must accompany each child to every session.

The special announcement, made at Darren Weir’s stables in Ballarat, Victoria, the heartland of the 2015 Emirates Melbourne Cup winning trainer, will see the $175,000 trophy travel to 34 towns and cities across Australia and New Zealand, before returning to Flemington for the ‘race that stops a nation’ on the first Tuesday in November.

Wodonga was chosen to host the tour for the commitment made by the Wodonga and District Turf Club to provide a comprehensive schedule of activities for the entire community to enjoy while the Cup is in town.

Wodonga and District Turf Club Sales and Event manager Steven Keene said being part of the tour will be an unforgettable experience that will unite community members as they play host to Australia’s most famous trophy.

“We are looking forward to bringing the extraordinary experience of the tour to our community, encouraging awareness of not only the Emirates Melbourne Cup, but the racing industry as a whole,” Mr Keene said.

Racing royalty joined the celebrations, including 2015 Emirates Melbourne Cup winning trainer Darren Weir and strapper Stevie Payne, 2015 Emirates Melbourne Cup win-

ning horse Prince of Penzance and Flemington Ambassador Georgia Connolly.

For the first time the ‘People’s Cup’ has been manufactured using gold mined from West Wyalong in regional NSW, a destination of this year’s Tour, and the launch welcomed the Cup’s new manufacturer ABC Bullion to the Flemington family.

VRC chief executive Simon Love said this year the tour would celebrate a heightened enthusiasm for racing among community groups far and wide following Michelle Payne’s triumphant Emirates Melbourne Cup victory in 2015.

“Since the tour began in 2003, we have delighted in bringing communities together in the shared history and magic of the Emirates Melbourne Cup and Michelle’s victory last year certainly adds another dimension to those narratives,” Mr Love said.

“Hearing the many tales, from triumphs to tears and everything in between, as people recount their own unique experiences of one of the world’s greatest sporting events, is a joy for all involved.”

Since its inaugural year, the tour has travelled more than 456,000 kilometres and visited more than 333 regional, rural and metropolitan destinations, providing communities with a once-in-a-life opportunity to experience firsthand the magic of the Emirates Melbourne Cup.
