Tourism’s cash gone governments to discuss the proposed termination of the cross-border entity and negotiate a positive outcome. “We need Destination NSW to hear the voices of the stakeholders who have benefited significantly from the model and commit to ongoing funding for this proven approach,” she said. “MRT delegates will meet with them and we are confident through that discussion that we will negotiate a successful outcome that’s in the best interest of the Murray region.” MRT plays a significant role in the Murray region by boosting visitor growth and enhancing local tourism economies, Ms Greiner said. “We create jobs in the region, and tourism is one of its leading economic forces,” she said. “Tourism impacts on many businesses as it has a flow-on effect on accommodation, restaurants and transport such as care hire and flights. “These are a few examples of how tourism spreads across many areas of the economy so it is a key driver of any regional economy.”
Fresh spoke in the wheel Young Charlie McGrath was part of the Lake Hume Cycle Challenge’s most successful event to date, which saw close to 800 participants at the weekend. The 17th event was another huge success, with almost 800 riders taking to the routes at the weekend, exceeding last year’s participation. For full story, see page 20.

Businesses and jobs in the Murray region hang in the balance after Destination NSW (DNSW) cut long-term operational funding to Murray Regional Tourism (MRT). Since its inception in 2010, DNSW has provided long-term funding of $90,000 per annum to MRT, which operates in a cross-border partnership with key stakeholders including Visit Victoria, 13 NSW and Victorian local government areas and local tourism businesses. The funding came in three-year increments, with the most current one expiring in June - but DNSW has pulled the provision of the long-term operational funding to MRT. With over 17 per cent of the region’s jobs in the tourism sector, this could have a detrimental effect on the tourism economy. MRT Board Chair Wendy Greiner told Albury Wodonga News Weekly that the cross-border entity received “no indication” that DNSW would not
continue with long-term funding and was “surprised” by the announcement. “DNSW did a review of the destination network and that exposed a number of new models including what they are calling Destination Riverina Murray,” Ms Greiner said. “But we don’t understand because this cross-border partnership we have is unique and is the only one of its kind in regional Australia, and it’s been a highly successful model. “It’s enabled us to promote one compelling and consistent brand for the entire Murray Region. We never saw this coming.” The cross-border approach has seen visitor numbers increase from 4.5 million visitors in 2011 to 5.1 million visitors in 2016, according to Tourism Research Australia NVS/IVS, and a substantial increase in total expenditure from $1.02 billion in 2011 to $1.5 billion in 2016. But despite the recent revelation, MRT has secured a meeting next week with the Tourism Minister Adam Marshall, Albury MP Greg Aplin and local

Blue lights take a break By Monique Kuzeff Police officers hold a position of authority in their community and by virtue of their role many people are naturally apprehensive in their presence. That’s why Albury police wanted to actively engage with their community in a comfortable and informal setting to help “break the ice” and build a stronger relationship with their community. Albury police met with local people at the Retro Lane Cafe in Albury on Thursday as part of ‘Coffee with a Cop’ to discuss local issues and get to know one another. While the majority of contact that local police have with the community is generally during times of emergency or distress, this was a way to help the community feel at ease around officers. “Years ago I used to hear people say to their kids ‘Look there’s a police officer, if you don’t behave I will get him to put you in a cell’, but that’s the last thing we want to hear nowadays,” Albury’s Superintendent Evan Quarmby said. “What we would prefer people to say to their kids is ‘There’s a police officer, if you are ever in trouble, if you are ever in need of anything, that’s the person that you can go to’. “We don’t want to be intimi-

Veterans plead their case By Monique Kuzeff Albury's Chief Inspector Kim Sorenson, Sergeant Matt Zemaitis and Superintendent Evan Quarmby get to know Aspect Riverina student Eleanor in a casual setting. 165312 Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF dating but I suppose it’s that position that we hold, and people know that we have a job to do.” Supt Quarmby said community engagement was a “fundamental” aspect of policing and that information provided by the public was important in helping them protect the community. “Police need the community as much as the community needs us,” he said. “We need the information, relationship and partnership with the community and that’s what this is all about.” Aspect Riverina teacher Thea Whitemore, who brought along some of her students to the meet-up, said it was a great
opportunity to “break down the barriers” with police and to teach the students some “life skills”. “We will go back and talk about safety and the role of the police in the community,” Ms Whitmore said. “It’s really important that the students are on their pathways going into the community so knowing their resources will be great. “I’d like them to walk away knowing how to communicate better with police so that if something were to happen when they are out in the community they know where to go to and know that the police are friendly.” 12341269-LB09-17
Hume Veterans Information Centre received a visit from the NSW Minister for Veterans Affairs David Elliot and Albury MP Greg Aplin on Friday which gave the group a chance to express the challenge of their location. The visit gave the Hume Veterans Information Centre an opportunity to make the minister aware of the work and services it provides to veterans on both sides of the Border. Last year the group received some 2000 phone calls and over 600 visits from people seeking assistance. Almost 30 per cent of people who seek assistance from the Wodonga-based organisation are from NSW, Hume veteran chairman Wayne Taylor said. “(We’d like to) make him aware of the facilities we have and the direct support that we FOR LEASE
are providing to veterans across the Border,” Mr Taylor said. “From there, we hope that in some way, shape or form we will be able to get some sort of financial assistance that will enable us to move forward with some sort of renovations, modifications to the building.” Asked whether Hume Veterans Information Centre could expect some kind of assistance from the NSW government, Mr Elliot said there were difficulties in spending NSW taxpayer money outside of the jurisdiction, and that it was a challenge that Border cities had. He said the “tragedy” in his role as both the Minister for Veterans Affairs and for Corrections was that he was spending $3.8 billion in corrections. “As the Minister for Veterans I know exactly where I’d prefer to spend that money, so I would, of course, love to see more money being used to

serve the veterans community,” he said. “I would certainly like to see as much support going to organisations like this one as we possibly can. The group had plans for a $300,000 upgrade to their information centre, and is seeking funding from all levels of government. But while the minister did not commit any funding to the group, he said he would be happy to assist with seeing whether the group could obtain some corporate support. Following his visit at the centre, Mr Elliot visited Howlong’s Lowe Square Cenotaph, delivering a $5000 discretionary grant which would go toward a landscape plan for the precinct to ensure there was a long-term vision for the area which respects veterans and their families.

Works on the heart of town By Monique Kuzeff
Wodonga mayor Anna Speedie with small business consultant Linda Hailey in front of the plans for the next stage of the city's redevelopment. 165334 Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF the Woolworth and Manns Central sites (805 additional carparks), which would essentially draw people in to the CBA. “We will have those centres open, those main streets will be open, open for business, parking will still be accessible, access to the shops will still be accessible and we intend to work a full marketing campaign and have directional signage so people can still get to our shops and support our local traders,” she said. “Yes, there will be some road closures but no business closures during that period. People will still be able to access our traders.” Small business consultant Linda Hailey, who has been involved with Wodonga’s CBA redevelopment for one year,
would be available during the works process to provide support to traders. “I think one of the major concerns for traders is always loss of traffic. Suddenly access is difficult; people find it hard to park,” Ms Hailey said. “The other real concern is will people go somewhere else because it's easier to get there.” She said a shopfront improvement access fund set up by council, would actually give traders an opportunity to improve their business and reflect the changes in the streetscape. “(The fund) is a dollar for dollar subsidy up to $3000, which could actually go quite a long way for business owners to actually improve the facade of their business or improve access,” she said.
The final draft of 'Albury 2030' was presented to council on Monday night.
Plan to 2030 A long-term community plan which guides AlburyCity’s planning and decision making is now on public exhibition. Following six months of extensive community and stakeholder engagement and priority setting, the final draft Albury 2030 was presented to council on Monday night. Mayor Kevin Mack said it was important to understand that while council was the custodian of Albury 2030, it was not responsible for the delivery of all the activities. The plan identifies a number of partners and other organisations that it will work with to achieve the collective aspira-
tions for Albury. Cr Mack said council had worked with the community and other stakeholders through many different engagement opportunities to identify the main priorities for Albury’s future. “We received over 1000 submissions as to where the community would like Albury to be as we move towards the year 2030,” Cr Mack said. “We have used that information to review and develop the new draft Albury 2030 community plan, providing a clear set of strategies to achieve this vision of the future. “We’ve retained the four themes which are; a growing
and sustainable economy, an enhanced natural environment, a caring community and a leading community. “Each of these themes has many strategies and actions designed to deliver on community aspirations.” Albury 2030 will guide council’s decision-making in determining the projects, activities and programs for which council is directly responsible. These projects and programs are included in council’s fouryear delivery program as part of the budget process. The draft Albury 2030 plan can be found on AlburyCity’s Have A Say page.

Traders in the heart of Wodonga are set for a bit of a shift as works are expected to commence at the n orthern end of High and South streets from 1 September. Thursday saw the opening of an information shopfront located at 135 High Street for the final stage of Wodonga’s CBA redevelopment, which is open for 10 days to the public to seek further information about the upcoming works. The next stage of the redevelopment would see reconstruction, underground services upgrades, landscaping, beautification, new streetlighting and the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of South and Church streets. This stage would use the last of the funding of the National Stronger Regions Fund that was granted to council in 2014. Wodonga mayor Anna Speedie said council would work together with traders to “minimise” the impact of the works on businesses located in the central district. “We will go to the tender process and have the tender awarded by May which will give us significant detail on how those works will be carried out and the exact timescape,” Cr Speedie said. “This is about sharing information, working with our traders to find solutions that will help minimise the impact of these works.” Cr Speedie said there would be some positive changes prior to the commencement of the works including the opening of

Zonta club is standing up for sisterhood For women in the community who may have heard of Zonta Albury-Wodonga Inc but don’t know too much about it and want to learn more, Zonta is offering an opportunity to attend its International Women’s Day Dinner. The dinner will be held at the Atura Albury, Dawson Room, on Wednesday 8 March from 6.30pm and welcomes anyone who is interested in various local and international topics including domestic violence and issues of developing countries. Zonta Albury-Wodonga consists of a group of like-minded women who are passionate about raising awareness of issues that affect women and girls in their community. The dinner will encompass presentations, awards and guest speaker Dr Penny Vine who will talk on topics around broad issues that affect women. Zonta member Jan Hastings, who has been involved with the club for over 10 years, said the president of the club would speak to the audience about the aims of Zonta and its two current major projects. Locally the group is committed to its ‘Zonta Says No’
to domestic violence campaign and is preparing a discreet brochure regarding local services, which could be kept safely by domestic violence victims. The group is also committed to helping assemble 1000 birthing kits for women in developing countries to facilitate a cleaner birthing site and safer delivery of babies. Ms Hastings said the International Women’s Day Dinner would be a great “social gettogether” and a lot of fun for anyone interested in attending. “I hope that the women will be inspired to make a noise about something that they feel passionate about and I think that the women who will be speaking will hopefully provide an impetus for women to come on board with Zonta,” Ms Hastings said. She encouraged women to come along to the event to find out more about how Zonta has to offer and how it could benefit them. “I hope that women will feel confident that this club of women have done something and are making a change. I think it’s wonderful for women to get together and encourage each other along,” she said.
“There’s nothing better than having that encouragement and being told you’re doing a good job and are making a difference.” To Ms Hastings it is important to discuss issues affecting women in the community. She said while a lot of “noise” had been made about it the issue, the discussion needed to be continued. “A lot of noise was made about domestic violence when Rosie Betty was made the Australian of the Year,” she said. “A lot of noise was made, a lot of statistics were quoted and a lot of ‘we’re going to do this and make a difference’ was thrown around, “But it tends to go back on the backburner and we are not being outraged but all that noise and what Rosie Betty was able to do particularly for domestic violence in that year, it dissipated but the issue still permeates communities at different levels.” For further information about the Zonta’s International Women’s Day Dinner or for bookings, contact Alison on (02) 6056 6826 or 0419 270 124 or email zontaalburywodonga@ yahoo.com.au.

Kat’s GALA event pays off By Monique Kuzeff Local business owner Katherine Rattray was “overjoyed” to find out her new business Kat and Fox had won the national Home, Furniture and Interiors award at the national Gift and Life In Style Awards (GALA) this year in Sydney. For Ms Rattray, this recognition came as a huge honour and boost for her up and coming boutique business that provides unique children’s linen and homeware products from linen, toys and pillows to colouring-in books. “This award pivots us out into the world with media including us in all their blogs, Instagram posts and releases about our business and also having our badge on everything helps us get into contact with stockists,” Ms Rattray said. “It can take up to about two years for a brand to gain trust and it takes a lot of work, so this award is huge. “I was nominated for my book Boy, Bird and Wren, toys and interior products.” Ms Rattray began developing a business plan for Kat and Fox in August 2015 after she exhibited her first full collection of products at the Melbourne Trade Show, and it took a year to get the concept off the ground, she said. “I discovered there was a market for the boutique so there were a lot of shops out there looking for Australia, the unusual, different and new.” “I went to Life In Style with a terrible website and I didn’t have anything really ready to go until October last year,” she said.

Restaurant’s special dish By Monique Kuzeff
Kat and Fox founder/interior designer Katherine Rattray from Wodonga took out the Home, Furniture and Interiors award at the GALA in Sydney. “But since then I’ve had the outstanding help from Jordyn Burles who is my social media person and the website has really picked up. “My stock didn’t arrive until first week in December 2016 but I sold a lot of stock two weeks prior to Christmas and then we sold a little bit after Christmas which was fantastic.” Ms Rattray said Kat and Fox was sparked through the awakening of her father’s cancer experience. She reconnected with drawing to keep him occupied while he was going through the last stages of cancer. As an interior designer by trade, Ms Rattray thought to
combine her passion for interior design with her love of drawing and began engaging in small illustration projects for friends. “Kat and Fox has been the biggest stint of my life so this award meant everything, can you imagine when I received it? “The support I’ve got from friends, locals and businesses in this area has been phenomenal.” Kat and Fox books and colouring-in books are stocked at various locations in Albury and Wodonga including Home Inspirations; Di Billiet; Dymocks; Two Grey Birds and Who, What, Why with the full collection available at Baby Nest in Albury.
UnitingCare Wodonga’s first One Dish Restaurant was a complete sell-out with 30 spots filling up in not even two days. Through a partnership between UnitingCare and Wodonga TAFE, the One Dish Restaurant turned out to be a huge success bringing in diverse members of the community together over a delicious lunch that entailed a fresh chicken parmigiana, hand-cut chips and a fresh garden salad from Albury Wodonga Regional FoodShare. The event also enabled VCAL students to get some practical experience in hospitality and in the kitchen while working alongside UnitingCare’s volunteer chef Shane Archer. UnitingCare Wodonga agency manager Naomi Jansen said the aim of the initiative was not only to assist people in need in the community, but also to allow VCAL students to gain that practical experience in their area of study. “There’s obviously a need in the community for this kind of thing, and we have benefited so much by having the TAFE students here to see what we do as a community network,” Ms Jansen said. “They are also learning

get involved in real cooking,” Mr Archer said. “This group caught on pretty quickly, and it’s their first time in a practical environment, but it gives them a lot of insight in to what they can expect in the real world.” The meal did not have a set price but invited a donation if patrons could afford it. This One Dish Restaurant was the first of three that will occur this school term.

Stitches in time Show president Margaret Grigsby said the committee hadn’t donated the show’s proceeds to Carevan in its history and agreed it was a worthy cause. “We wanted to donate to Carevan because it really is a good cause and there are a lot of homeless people out there in need,” Ms Grigsby said. “It’s really great that they can hand over the old caravan to another community so they can expand it and perpetuate their aims.” The donation comes as the second injection of money into Carevan’s recent goal to purchase the new vans which will then see the original caravan being donated to the Tamworth
By Monique Kuzeff The Albury Doll, Bear and Hobby Show committee were proud to deliver on their commitment to raise money for Carevan through their annual twoday show that was held in November. Last year’s show was another success drawing in 130 entries and crowds of people through the gates thanks to the show’s new additions including model train, embroidery and crocheting. Carevan received a $2000 cheque from the Albury Doll, Bear and Hobby Show committee on Wednesday and will be putting the much need funding towards two new vans for the local area.
community to start the initiative. Carevan CEO Stacey Franklin said the not-for-profit organisation had garnered $10,000 from the ADBHS and the recent Harness Racing donations setting Carevan to a good start to the fund. “The fund for the vans is a longterm work in progress and we are happy to plod along but every contribution helps,” Ms Franklin said. “The two vehicles could be anywhere up to $70,000 each once they’re decked out with what we need, so obviously we are looking at them being brand new because we want them going for a fairly long time.”

c dle Councils cud By KRYSTEN MANUEL
reIN THE face of recent comments garding Albury and Wodonga councils not communicating enough, Albury and Wodonga councillors met on Monday night to discuss working together currently and in the future. “I don’t think the community are aware of what we are doing,” AlburyCity mayor Kevin Mack said. “So I decided, with my Wodonga counterpart, to formalise that discussion and have a meeting with councillors only present to discuss what we’re to currently doing and what we intend do in the future for both of our cities. “It was about being able to touch base, to put some relevance to the current relationship we have. As councillors we needed to draw that line in the what we this is w sand again and say ‘this currently do together,’ which is quite .” substantial.”
City of Wodonga mayor Rodney Wangman supported Cr Mack in saying while meetings between councils were not new – they are held quarterly with the vision of having all councillors present twice a year, with meetings scheduled for more urgent issues there’s always room for improvement. “When you have new councillors on both sides it’s good to reaffirm policy co-operation right down to practicality issues,” he said. “What do we hope to achieve from these outcomes? Clearly some of those items are Albury Wodonga Health, the future of high-speed rail, the alliance of the councils of the Upper Murray, local procurement, then we get down isto what I call ‘rats and mice’ type sues that are fundamentally important to our community – all of us expect Albury Wodonga is perceived as one city, so morally and practically we op-

Seniors all set for festival By Monique Kuzeff There will be loads of fun to get involved in throughout the NSW Seniors Festival week on the Border from 3 March to 12 March, with AlburyCity hosting many activities and events to recognise and celebrate its seniors. The activities will be delivered across various local venues including the Mirambeena Community Centre (MCC), LibraryMuseum, GT Aquatics Swim Centre, MAMA and Albury Bo-
tanic Gardens to name a few. From Fashions and Fantasty talk at the LibraryMuseum on Friday 3 March, Grandparents Day hosted at the Albury Botanic Gardens on Sunday 5 March, Canoe adventures on the Murray River on Monday 6 March, to Cinema Screenings on Tuesday 7 March and High Tea dining on Wednesday 8 March, there will certainly be something for everyone’s taste.

You can also get involved in aquatic
aerobatics at the GT Aquatic Swim Centre on Thursday 9 March from 9.30am, and then make your way to MAMA for a lunchtime tour where you will be artistically inspired by the gallery’s ‘Yours: 70 Years of Collecting’ exhibition. But if you’re the dancing kind, then you can’t miss the rock and roll dance class at the Commercial Club, upstairs auditorium at 7pm. Or if music is more your forte, why not join in on the guitar jamming ses-
sion which will be held on Friday 10 March at the LibraryMuseum from 10am to 1pm.

Land lease option appeals As house prices in Australia’s capital cities boom, many downsizers who are asset-rich but cash-poor, are missing out on an opportunity to unlock their existing home equity and improve their lifestyle. Freeing up capital by selling your house for more than what you would pay for a new home is a benefit for downsizers, who can then use the additional capital to invest or supplement income to enjoy an independent lifestyle. Author and finance expert Rachel Lane said everyone had the option of staying in their own home, but many found it to be too much maintenance or too lonely if they had lost a spouse. “A lot of people look at downsizing to either a land lease community or retirement village, however they are distinctively different and can be hard to compare. “My advice is to break it down to the ingoing, the ongoing and the outgoing costs of each. The ingoing amount is normally straight forward the amount paid for the home or unit. “The ongoing cost in a retirement village is the general service change, in a land lease community it is the site fees. The unique ownership model in a land lease community allows you to own your own home and lease your land, which means many downsizers are eligible for rent assistance on their site fees. “The greatest confusion comes from the exit fees, also called deferred management fees. These are standard in retirement villages, and normally a percentage accrued over a period of time, typically anywhere between 25
per cent and 50 per cent after 10 years and there can be sharing in capital gains to factor in as well. “Land lease communities have no government charges (stamp duty or
council rates), and there are no exit fees, and with your ongoing cost of leasing the land being reduced through government assistance - it is a very popular and affordable housing option.
Being part of a like-minded community significantly enhances quality of life too,” Rachel said. Ingenia Lifestyle Albury’s Open Day event on Saturday 25 March will
provide downsizers the opportunity to view brand new home designs, available from just $189,000. Contact Megan Collins for more information on 0459 955 122.

lawn bowls, which are some of the active options offered throughout the week. Bowls tournaments are also organised during the year, which sees other bowl enthusiasts outside of the village come along to challenge Riverwood’s champions. On Wednesdays, residents have the opportunity to stock up on good healthy food with a weekly visit from “Flippin Fresh Seafood”.
This evening brings to life happy hour, another excuse for a social get together held in the community centre. On Wednesdays and Fridays there are church services for the Uniting, Catholic and Anglican residents. On Friday afternoon, there is yet another happy hour. Trivia, bingo, cards, word games, craft, footy tipping, Turf Talk, library and movie sessions are just a few more
of what’s offered weekly at Riverwood Retirement Village. But sometimes it is good to just get away and see new places or explore historic towns. That’s why Riverwood runs bus trips to towns including Beechworth, Yackandandah, Bright, Holbrook, Lockhart and Howlong where residents can experience a variety of restaurants or relax in a public garden with a book.
Riverwood Retirement Living Riverwood offers an atmosphere of community and family. Residents can relax and enjoy enclosed, peaceful gardens or participate in the activity programs which include bowls, swimming, and gardening. Family members and friends are always welcome, and are an integral part of the warm community feel of Riverwood. Riverwood features: • • • • • •

Retirement living bar raised It is not just the trees and location that makes this retirement community a one-of-a-kind destination; it is also the care that has been taken to create one of the best residential resorts possible. Laurieton Residential Resort is the recipient of several accolades, most recently winning The Most Outstanding Over 50s Estate in Australasia in 2015. The quality, designer homes are
the hallmark of this superb retirement community. There are seven unique floor plans to select from that are spacious and feature quality finishes and designer flair. The list of standard inclusions is impressive, and there is a modern range of optional, high-end selections to choose from as well. The homes

The resort opened to homeowners a year ago, and has quickly gained approval in the market place, with more
than 40 homeowners calling the resort home last year.

podiatrist to have the issues addressed. “Whether you’re getting pain when you walk or at night in bed or any type of foot pain, there’s generally something leading to that. “In older people, arthritis of the foot is a really common issue as are foot deformities. “Quite often a lot of chronic back and joint pain can be related too poor foot posture.” At Riverina Podiatry Group, the podiatrists will help you identify your problem and work with you to ensure you are walking comfortably and painfree on a day-to-day basis so you can continue being active. We want the elderly to remain as active as they possibly can and to be able to continue doing the everyday activities that they enjoy,” Ms McFadyen added. “We can help by recommending appropriate footwear, insoles, orthotics, and by addressing general nail and foot care.” Riverina Podiatry Group also has podiatry clinics in Lavington, Henty, Corowa and Wodonga. If you have any questions, our friendly team is happy to advise you on how they can help you improve the health of your feet.
Planning for your future involves spending time considering how you would like your affairs managed and how you wish to be looked after if your circumstances changed. It’s especially important to start the conversation with family or those close to you about what your future health, lifestyle and financial needs may be. There are only three steps to the planning ahead process - preparing a will, making an enduring power of attorney and appointing an enduring guardian. Preparing a will allows you to decide who will receive your assets when you die. This can include large assets such as real estate, as well as sentimental items you want passed onto someone you love. An enduring power of attorney is an appointed person who has legal authority to act on your behalf, in relation to assets and financial affairs, should you lose the capacity to make decisions. This could include buying and selling property, paying bills, collecting rents and looking after your investments. An enduring guardian is a substitute decision-maker of your choice, with legal authority to make health and lifestyle decisions on your behalf, if you lose the capacity to make those decisions. Such decisions can include: Where you should live; Health care you should receive;
· ·
kind of personal servic· What es you will receive and consent to medical or · Giving dental treatment. An enduring guardianship appointment only comes into effect when you lack capacity to make decisions. In cases where a person does not have planning ahead documents in place their family members or friends may need to apply to a court or tribunal to decide who will make decisions for them.
This is a last resort option and can be stressful and time consuming. The opportunity to choose who you would like to act on your behalf will be lost. Don’t leave it until it’s too late. To find out more or book an appointment to get started, call the NSW Trustee and Guardian Wagga Wagga branch today on 1300 721 601 or email tagwagga@tag.nsw.gov.au or book online www.tag.nsw.gov.au/ willsdays

Local Sport Cyclists take the challenge By Monique Kuzeff The 17th Lake Hume Cycle Challenge was another huge success with almost 800 riders taking to the routes at the weekend, exceeding last year’s participation. Ride options included something for everyone at any ability from the 143km Gundowring Trail, 90km Kergunyah Kruise and 44km Weir Wonder to the 25km Thurgoona Tour and 5-10km Family Ride-Walk. The rides took participants through the picturesque valley around Lake Hume and Kiewa Valley and finished up at spectacular riverside at Norueil Park in Albury. A total amount raised has not yet been announced but it is expected with such a successful turnout of entrants that it would exceed last year’s funds of $21,500. All proceeds going to the Border Trust and Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre. Event organiser Ian Moffat said registration figures were up 20 per cent on last year’s with about 700 entrants plus 90 odd children under the age of 12. “This is the most successful year of the event so far,” Mr Moffat said.

“Over the last five years it has really developed in to a successful larger event and this year saw the most number of entrants.” The Chill Zone was a highlight providing a nice after-ride space to sit back, relax and enjoy a cold beverage and some fine food, Mr Moffat said. “It provided a great family atmosphere at the end of the rides where participants and their family or partners could relax and enjoy boutique breweries, food venders and live enter-

Due to the upgrade works occurring at the Riverina Highway between Lake Hume Resort and Bellbridge, one
of the routes had to be modified which meant increased bills for traffic controllers. “There were a few hiccups and there always is but we’ve taken them on board and will iron them out for next year. “Changing the route this year means we couldn’t take that same route, so we had a lot of trouble organising the new route and adding additional traffic controls which made the bill for event bigger.”

Strong field of nominations Nominations for the Sport Albury Wodonga Norske Skog Young Achiever of the Year Award have been finalised. The committee was amazed by the nominations received which made it a very hard decision to select 11 finalists for this year’s award night. Once again the young achiever finalists came from diverse sporting backgrounds ranging from water polo, cricket, softball, boxing, Australian Rules, hockey umpiring through to netball and more. The awards night is run by a community committee under the Sport Albury Wodonga banner with vital sponsorship from Norske Skog which offers financial assistance to the overall winner who is judged on their sporting achievements over the past 12 months. The Sport Albury Wodonga Norske Skog Young Achiever of the Year Awards presentation will be held on Friday 3 March at the Commercial Club Auditorium. Finalists for this year’s Young Achiever Awards include Lachlan Spinelli - softball, Tanisha Devlin - boxing, Stephanie Gorman - basketball, Jeremy Bahr - hockey umpire, Ebony Devlin - boxing, Liam Wiscombe - rugby league, Alyce Parker - Australian rules, Declan Campion - athletics, Para Nakita Singe - netball, Brooke Dickie - waterpolo, Maddison Baird - cricket.
