Cash splash options

By MONIQUE KUZEFF ALBURYCITY council has presented Albury and Lavington communities with several options for aquatic facilities to help in deciding which option would have the best outcome in the future.

Sustaining the existing Albury and Lavington Swim Centres and/ or developing an indoor regional aquatic leisure centre at either Lauren Jackson Sports Centre or the Lavington Swim Centre were some of the options listed by SGL consultants.

AlburyCity mayor Henk van de Ven said it was important that the community had a say in the decision. “The decision is about the future of our city,� Cr van de Ven said. “I implore people when considering all the options to think about what a growing city is going to need in 20 to 40 years. “This is about future generations and, if we need to, ensuring that we leave a positive legacy that promotes Albury’s livability.�

Cr van de Ven said the council considered the return on investment from a social, economic and financial perceptive including long-term visitation and operating costs.

All the options have been developed on a detailed business and financial modelling, with a productivity analysis showing ongoing operational costs and capital investment over a 10-year period.

Cr van de Ven said upgrading and expanding aquatic facilities in Albury and Lavington will make a huge difference to Albury and surrounding communities. “There has been a calling from some sections of the community for an all-year round aquatic facility and while there are small all-year round facilities available they don’t cater for enough people,� Cr van de Ven said.

Albury Council has presented a list of seven options for aquatic facilities in Albury and voted to ask the community what it believed was the best option for the future. Picture: SUPPLIED “The current facilities are reaching the end of their life and you always have to upgrade infrastructure, it’s one of those things you have to do due to depreciation.�

AlburyCity Council is looking at both loan and grant funding options as expenditure for the new aquatic facility developments when a decision has been finalised.

Cr van de Ven said the expenditure would be spread over the years for present and future generations to share costs. “We wanted to spread the cost over future generations for those people who are going to use the facilities in the future and in this way it will be much more palatable,� he said.

The project costs would range from $20 million to retain existing swim facilities to $36 million for a regional aquatic leisure centre with a $51.5 million dollar indoor pool.

Albury residents were encouraged to put forward their preferred option and provide the council with feedback before Tuesday 22 March.

Brief ride fights ovarian cancer

By MONIQUE KUZEFF AS a part of Ovarian Cancer Awareness month, Kelly Country Albury Harley Owners Group (HOG) and Border Ovarian Cancer Awareness Group (BOCAG) have organised a teal blue ride/family fun day which aims to raise awareness of the symptoms, risks, and impact of ovarian cancer.

The 170km round-trip ride is for anyone who rides a motorcycle and costs $20, with proceeds to go directly towards cancer research.

From 11.30am onwards, market stalls will be set up at Wodonga Turf Club for families to enjoy.

On the day, along with bikes and cars on display, there will also be jumping castles, live bands, face-painting, balloon animals, facial massage and food with many prizes to be won including a ride on a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Lady of Kelly Country HOG Wendy McGinnis said the day would be all about having fun and raising awareness of ovarian cancer.

“It will be a great inclusive day for families and motorcycle riders with a fun atmosphere,” Ms McGinnis said.

“Having a day like this is important because we have the new cancer hospital and ovarian cancer is undetectable so being a female, I find it very important.

“At a work Christmas party last year, BOCAG spoke about ovarian cancer, and it touched me and I thought what we could do to help.

“They need funding for research because there’s no simple way to notice ovarian cancer in women.”

Ms McGinnes encouraged anyone to come along to the day on 27 February to enjoy the fun and donate to ovarian cancer.

Bike registration will be held from 8am on the day at the Wodonga Turf Club on the corner of Hamilton Smith Drive and Wilson Street, Wodonga.

For pre-registration and stallholders, don’t hesitate to contact Wendy McGinnis on 0427 244 593 or for further information visit Ovarian Cancer Day Kelly Country HOG 2016 on Facebook.

THE Border is invited to celebrate the opening of Wodonga’s newest public space at a twilight market, featuring live music and some of the best food and drink producers from the north east region.

The Promenade Twilight Market will take place at Junction Place on Friday 19 February 2016 between 4.30pm and 8pm.

The market will feature producers from Wodonga and the wider north east region, with food and drink available to purchase and live music by Albury Wodonga band Mia Grace and the Aviators.

Places Victoria general manager Precincts Simon Wilson said the twilight market was a fitting way to celebrate the opening of the promenade, which was designed to cater for outdoor events.

“The promenade is centrally located at Junction Place, run-

ning through the site between the historic Goods Shed and Station Building to provide a link from these buildings to Church Street and Junction Square,“ Mr Wilson said.

“With outdoor dining on both sides, the Promenade will be the hub of the food and beverage precinct within Junction Place.

“Junction Place has hosted a number of events featuring local producers over the past few years and we’re looking forward to another successful event using the new Promenade.“ Junction Place tenants Broadgauge restaurant, Beanstation Cafe and the newly opened Goods Shed Craft Beer Cafe will be open for dining as usual throughout the evening.

“We encourage the local community to come down to Junction Place and check out the new promenade while en-

joying quality food and drink from local producers,“ Mr Wilson said.

The Promenade was funded

by Places Victoria with assistance from the Federal Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development’s National Stronger Regions Fund.

Junction Place is Australia’s largest regional urban renewal project. The revitalisation of Junction Place will see the 10 hectare site become a vibrant mixed-use precinct with retail, entertainment, residential, commercial and public uses.

The Junction Place project will double the size of Wodonga’s CBD, bringing new life to the city centre and catering for the city’s growing population.

The Promenade Night Market will be held on Friday 19 February from 4.30pm - 8pm at The Promenade at Junction Place Church Street, Wodonga.

Wodonga’s centre for child care

By MONIQUE KUZEFF

Northern Victoria Region MP Jaclyn Symes and Wodonga councillor Michael Fraser offically opened Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF the Jamieson Court Preschool. 150296

MARKING almost 30 years since the original establishment of the Jamieson Court Preschool building in Wodonga, an official opening was held at the preschool on Monday after months of extensive and major redevelopments and the integrating of maternal, health and child care services in the precinct.

Wodonga councillor Michael Fraser joined Northern Victoria Region MP Jaclyn Symes in opening the $506,000 redevelopment, which was completed last year.

Redevelopments included a building extension to provide space for further services including the Trudewind Road Maternal and Child Health service and also to provide better access to family, allied and community support services.

The new works have increased the three-year-old and four-year-old program capacities from 23 to 33 places and 44 to 66 places.

Cr Fraser said the building extension has paved way for the relocation of other relevant child care and health services.

“Parents have been through disruptions for three terms during the redevelopment but now with the improvements they can reap the benefits from here onwards,” Cr Fraser said.

“Class time hours have also increased to meet the new demand for child care services.

“The additional spaces will enable families and parents to interact with their own children and build that community spirit,”

Cr Fraser said.

Ms Symes and Banambra MP Bill Tilley were delighted to see the completion and launch of the the revamped preschool.

Ms Symes said the investment in the new child care facilities would be welcomed by families in the community.

“Not only do we have a kindergarten program here for three and four year olds, but it’s also a one-stop-shop for parents in the Wodonga area,” Ms Symes said.

“It has incorporated a maternal health service so parents can have access to allied health services, from birth to before their children go to school, it’s truly a great facility.”

Ms Symes said the new space still has tribute to the building’s 30 year old history.

“In the last couple of years (the preschool) was well and truly in need of a makeover and while it’s a great new space, it has also some of the existing building incorporated in to it.

“It is a really good facility not only in terms of the aesthetic but in terms of the zen.”

The Department of Education and Training and Wodonga Council collectively funded the redevelopments, providing $350,000 and $156,000 respectively towards the project.

Ms Symes said the council was really committed to child services in Wodonga and it was great to see what could be achieved when both the State and local governments worked together.

Upwardly mobile: property selling moves with the times

By MONIQUE KUZEFF THE way in which businesses operate has changed dramatically over the last 20 years, and according to Hutton Real Estate principal Nigel Horne the changes have had a lot to do with technological developments.

Mr Horne, who has had a career in real estate for over 20 years, is one who has experienced operational changes in real estate which has, in some ways, made businesses operations much more time and value efficient.

It does not seem too long ago when a mobile phone was a rare commodity for any business. Nowadays mobile phones enable businesses to contact their clients and associates anywhere

and at any time.

Mr Horne said analogue used to be the way of communicating with business associates, potential buyers and tenants but the mobile phone has taken over making it much easier to communicate.

“We used to use analogues and do calls only - no SMS or email and see now even 10-year-old kids have them, “They are advanced and come with cameras, email, SMS and various other apps,” Mr Horne said.

According to Mr Horne, the internet has served as the most important development in his line of business.

“It’s just magic the way you can email someone with the click of a button and it’s received in seconds.

“People can access information so quickly now, you just save so much time in doing so.”

Years ago with photography, one would have to develop the film after the photo had been taken, but nowadays digital cameras provide instant images which can be transmitted by email.

Mr Horne said inspections are a double-edged sword where in previous years a prospective tenant would pay a deposit and their driver licence was copied before they were given the keys to view the vacant property without an agent accompanying them.

“Agents will now conduct the viewings and although it was time efficient for the agency to not have to go along,

there was no salesmanship involved, “The prospective tenant might’ve missed something important, and agents wouldn’t come to understand the needs and wants to be able to pull out the advantages of the property.”

Another change to the sector of real estate is legislation. Mr Horne said real estate legislation had been improved with fair trading cracking down on scrupulous behaviour.

Throughout his career so far, Mr Horne said he has never stopped learning.

“You’re learning all the time and not in a formal sense like in a classroom, and while we do compulsory professional development every year, you are still constantly hearing, see-

ing and learning things you may have never encountered before.

Due to these technological advancements, there has also been an increasing number of real estate agencies in Albury and Wodonga.

Mr Horne said there were approximately 24 agencies in the area when he first began his career whereas today he counted around 45 agencies that are available.

“I suppose what we’ve experienced over the last 20 years is that there has been a greater number of sole trader agencies and a greater number of boutique or small agencies,” he said.

“With advancements people have branched off other agencies to create their own independent ones.”

Training with Tigers

By MONIQUE KUZEFF WINNER of the Australia Post AFL Community Camps VIP training session Jacinta Gandolfo received the opportunity of an hour-long training session with Richmond footballers Bachar Houli and Mabior Chol along with her niece and nephew, Sapphire and Patrick Ryan, last week.

The Richmond Football Club visited the Border last week as a part of the Australia Post Community Camps that aims to enable regional fans to engage with their star footballers and share the love of the game throughout February and March.

Ms Gandolfo, who has been a Tiger supporter for almost 26 years, felt lucky to have received the intimate one-on-one VIP training session with the two footballers.

“I kept scrolling past the post and then I put my phone away and then was like ‘hang on, that was me, that was my name on that!’ I was so excited,” Ms Gandolfo said.

“My niece and nephew are big footy fans too and I bought my friend Chris along too as he plays footy so I thought he could help out the little ones with the Richmond footy players.”

Ms Gandolfo said she looked forward to the one-on-one training session because it wasn’t something she would get to experience again.

“It’s a bit of fun and a laugh and I think the highlight was seeing the kids having fun and enjoying themselves because they are big fans.”

Ms Gandolfi also received a Richmond Guernsey and an Australia Post Sheridan football as a part of her prize.

Richmond midfielder Bachar Houli, who has been with the AFL for nine years, was pleased to provide Jacinta with the intimate training experience.

“It’s a great experience for me to see the smile on Jacinta’s face and have the opportunity to be among a few Richmond supporters,” Mr Houli said.

“They all got to have their photos taken with us and we have had a kick with them which has been fun, “The kids are little so we were limited with the ball but we wanted to show them love and teach them that one day they could get the opportunity to play footy when they grow up - they were very energetic and would have gone all day.”

Mr Houli, who is the second Muslim to play in the AFL, said he felt fortunate to have already been involved in

Circus shows hit the road

By MONIQUE KUZEFF ALBURYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Flying Fruit Fly Circus, acclaimed as one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading youth arts companies, is set to tour Australia this year with three major projects that will expose the thrilling future of contemporary circus.

Artists will perform the projects, Stunt Lounge, Circus Under My Bed, and JUNK, in Melbourne, Sydney, Albury, Hobart, Portland, Bendigo, Warragul, Wagga Wagga, Orange Dubbo and Wodonga from March to December this year.

Stunt Lounge is a production of a three-year partnership which the circus signed with the Sydney Opera Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circus-in-residence, and the project features five skilled Flying Fruit Fly-trained performers doing acts including acrobatics, aerial acts and hula-hoop hijinks in an hour-long high-energy exploration of risk.

JUNK was inspired by regional childhood stories of the 1940s and questions the importance of risk taking and creative play for children. Household trash is transformed into magical landscapes by 17 performers aged between 10 and 19. This show aims to take the audience on a journey back in time, before the technology revolution and when neighbourhood streets were the grounds for adventure and play.

Flying Fruit Fly Circus executive director Richard Hull said the touring program was important to the company because it enabled young artists the opportunity to have an invaluable experience in performing arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The touring programs enable the artists to understand what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be a performer in front of small and large audiences, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it challenges them to become more independent performers with life on the road.

The Flying Fruit Fly Circus announces three shows in 2016. 150243 â&#x20AC;&#x153;From an educational and learning point of view it links them to the world and a lot of people who end up at top circuses come through us.â&#x20AC;?

Circus Under My Bed was nominated for a Helpmann Award as Best Visual or Physical Theatre Production at the Sydney Theatre Awards and is about a young girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last night in her

bedroom before she must move away, to put it simply. The performance is suited to young adults and families as a vaudeville of captivating story-telling and old world circus.

Mr Hull said the three projects aimed to give the young artists the support required to further their skills and interest in circus.

Picture: CONTRIBUTED â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project helps to springboard the students in to the industry,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hull said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got about 93 students here all together and unfortunately we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take them all out on tour, but we want to ensure that as many students of ours get involved.â&#x20AC;?

It is important for The Flying Fruit

Fly Circus to connect with the local communities of Albury and Wodonga, Mr Hull said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want out local community to be the first to see what we are doing before we go national. â&#x20AC;&#x153;JUNK is premiering at The Cube in Wodonga and Under My Bed will be going to Bendigo and Wagga.â&#x20AC;?

Medics moving in

By MONIQUE KUZEFF TWENTY-ONE medical student cadets from universities across New South Wales have received the opportunity to spend three days experiencing the lifestyle and career advantages of rural NSW. The student cadets received the opportunity to spend time in Albury through the NSW Rural Resident Medical Officer Cadetship funded by the NSW Ministry of Health and administered by the NSW Rural Doctors Network (RDN).

NSW Rural Doctors Network spokesperson Kim Carlson said it was an opportunity for the student cadets to experience the challenging and exciting aspects of rural prac-

tices.

“It will give them an opportunity to see that there are advantages out here and hopefully encourage them to come back and work in a rural town in the future,” Ms Carlson said.

“They will be meeting a lot of local general practitioners (GPs), associates from the Albury Rural Clinical School and past student cadets who are now training in rural hospitals across NSW.” While the weekend is aimed at preparing the students to decide where they will train, they will also get to hear first-hand professional and personal experiences of GPs and regional health service providers.

The student cadets will learn about the type of career they could establish in a rural town and get hands-on experience on the exciting and challenging reality of rural practices.

Ms Carlson said the two main things they would gain from their visit was the good networking connections and close mentor relationship, and an understanding of the advantages of rural practices and lifestyle.

“They will see that a career in a rural town doesn’t mean they are shut away from a progressive life and career.

“When they meet the other doctors and health practitioners, they

will form strong relationships.

“In the cities you just deal with coughs and colds, but here there is so much more to deal with, and you develop a lot more skills. It will be an eye-opening experience for them.

Ms Carlson said it was also a great chance for Albury to showcase what it had to offer in lifestyle and career opportunities.

“There will be a lot packed in to those three days including canoeing, touring the town, visiting the hospital, local pubs and nice restaurants and also meeting and networking with health care professionals.

“They’ll also be doing tuition and clinical skills workshop in stitchery.”

Jackie Hall and her two sons Cody and Pictures: CONTRIBUTED Ryan. 150286

Caravan of calm brings key answers FOUNDER of a leading parenting organisation, Jackie Hall has packed up her family in a caravan on a road trip to every state of Australia in 2016, to teach parents how to alleviate parental stress, and is heading to Albury on 28 February.

Ms Hall, whom heads the Parental Stress Centre of Australia, will be holding a three-hour ‘Calm within the Chaos’ seminar that teaches parents how to realistically cope with their own emotions and stress of parenthood, so they can deal with the challenges kids bring without feeling angry or reactive.

In contrast to traditional parenting information which often aims to help specifically with child behaviour, the Parental Stress Centre of Australia focuses directly on alleviating parental stress, depression and anxiety first and child behaviour second.

Ms Hall said she had personally experienced depression and anxiety nine years ago when her children were babies and she had to work her own way out of feeling bogged down and consumed with the demands of parenting.

“I know how that feels and want to dedicate this year to teaching as many parents as possible how to avoid going down the road I did,” Ms Hall said.

The ‘Calm within the Chaos’ seminar will teach parents how to understand the specific thinking behind their emotions, behaviours and reactions, and learn how these same thoughts can also underlie their child’s behaviour, too.

Parents will learn strategies on how to make quick and long-term changes to improve family dynamics and bring calm to family chaos.

The Parental Stress Centre was founded in 2006 when Jackie Hall realised there was no easily accessible information to take her out of her negative thinking with her own account of postnatal depression.

Jackie’s career took a turn to help empower other parents as she became a qualified counsellor, and five-time author on stress and parenthood.

Now with the ‘Calm within the chaos’ 2016 Oz tour, plus 24-hour online resources for parents, 50,000 Facebook Fans and 180,000 parents seeking support through their website last year alone, The Parental Stress Centre of Australia has become one of the most popular go-to websites for parental stress in Australia.

Parents dealing with anger management issues, adjusting to a newborn, stress about child behaviour and special needs kids, depression, anxiety, time management and relationships issues, can now get easily accessible information from the comfort of their homes or face to face through live seminars.

The event will be held at Quality Resort Siesta, 416/422 Wagga Road, North Albury at 9.30am to 12.30pm on 28 February. Tickets are $35 pp and are available through the website www.parentalstress.com.au

Train Local. Work Local.

WHILE some people’s New Year’s resolutions fade away by February, Charles Hansen didn’t let this happen to him. Charles is enjoying a new career in a rewarding Community Services role after undertaking a number of nationally accredited courses at the Albury Wodonga Community College.

The formerly unemployed man said of the not-for-profit organisation with a proud 40 plus year history of serving the community that, “AWCC offered not only student centred training, but it was also a family centred community”. He said this was a significant reason as to why he succeeded in completing his first course.

“Support was offered from administration, trainers and managers. At times when you thought it was impossible, they were there for you.” he said.

Upon commencement of

a Certificate III level course in aged care Charles soon found employment at Tallangatta Health following his work placement. An enthusiastic Charles says that “Things snowballed from there as with that employment came more education”. Upskilling certainly helps in advancing along a career path and with a Certificate IV in Disability under his belt, Charles was able to progress to a role where he runs leisure programs at SiTE. Rodney Wangman, CEO of AWCC said that “Charles is one of over 200,000 people who have experienced some kind of connection with AWCC whether through the long day care, mobile early childhood education and care programs, the two Independent Schools for Years 9 – 12 students, 2Cool4School, short courses or the nationally accredited Vocational Education and Training programs”.

Don’t fit the mould?

If you don’t fit the mould of a mainstream school then you probably belong with us. Our boutique Independent Schools in Albury and Wodonga offer young people at risk of being disengaged from school a great alternative to help them to stay the course and improve their learning and employment outcomes. We offer Years 9 -12 at both campuses, have small class sizes, great facilities, committed teaching, welfare and support staff.

Contact our Student Welfare Officer (02) 6043 8200 or visit www.awcc.edu.au

Charles Hansen, past student, in AWCC simulated training environment Like Charles, many graduates from AWCC are working in jobs they love in early childhood education and care, aged care, disability and community services roles. Rod attributes a lot of this to the fact that the College offers rigorous programs that have been

developed with significant local industry consultation and regional work placement opportunities.

‘Students know that the course they are taking will be well received by local employers because they have played a guiding role in the design of the training and

assessment strategies.”

decks. This helps prevent embers from igniting your home.

Remove dead vegetation and other items from under your deck or porch, and within 10 feet of the house.

Screen in areas below patios and decks with wire mesh to prevent debris and combustible materials from accumulating.

Remove flammable materials (wood piles, propane tanks) within 30 feet of your home’s foundation and outbuildings, including garages and sheds. If it can catch fire, don’t let it touch your house, deck or porch.

Wildfire can spread to tree tops.

Prune trees so the lowest branches are six to 10 feet from the ground.

Keep your lawn hydrated and maintained.

If it is brown, cut it down to reduce fire intensity. Dry grass and shrubs are fuel for wildfire.

Dispose of debris and lawn cuttings quickly to reduce fuel for fire.

Inspect shingles or roof tiles. Replace or repair the shingles that are loose or missing to prevent ember penetration.

Cover exterior attic vents with metal wire mesh no larger than 1/8 inch to prevent sparks from entering the home.

Enclose eaves and screen soffit vents us-

ing 1/8 mesh metal screening to prevent ember entry.

Pet safety tips Pets are curious. They may bump into, turn on, or knock over cooking equipment. Keep pets away from stoves and countertops.

Keep pets away from candles, lamps, and space heaters.

Always use a metal or heat-tempered glass screen on a fireplace and keep it in place.

Keep pets away from a chimney’s outside vents. Have a “pet-free zone” of at least three feet (one meter) away from the fireplace. Glass doors and screens can stay dangerously hot for several hours after the fire goes out.

Consider battery-operated, flameless candles.

They can look and smell like real candles.

Some pets are chewers. Watch pets to make sure they don’t chew through electrical cords. Have any problems checked by a professional.

Smoke alarm: Have working smoke alarms on every level of the home. Test your smoke alarms at least once a month.

If the smoke alarm sounds, get out and stay out.

Never go back inside for pets in a fire.

Tell firefighters if your pet is trapped.

The cure for grime THE Ovenu service is a full cleaning and detailing service.

First they complete a pre-clean inspection and then switch off the power to the oven. Many manufacturers will void the warranty if the oven is worked on while live and for good reason. The service had an occasion last year when the back panel of a fairly new oven was removed by the Ovenu technician it was discovered that the element had corroded, through the use of caustic sprays by the previous home owner and would have been “live”, a very dangerous situation had the power not been switched off.

Then they remove the door, the fan the light globe the racks and panels.

Most of the items go into a design registered heated tank which is fitted into the van.

The interior of the oven is then cleaned and polished to remove all

traces of the carbon and fat which has been sucked behind the panels by the fan.

When every speck of grease has been removed the oven is re-assembled, and a special polish applied to seal the surface and make it easier for the client to keep the interior clean with bicarbonate of soda and vinegar.

They can even remove those annoying streaks that get between the glass on the oven door.

All products used are non caustic and safe for the environment.

The price can vary depending on the size and make of the oven and the service takes around two to three hours. This will return the oven to showroom condition.

The service also cleans barbeques, ranges, rangehoods, microwaves and cook tops. So give Gina or Jamie from Ovenu a call to get a fixed quote on returning that oven to new.

The buzz about renovations ers and property owners to establish designs that suit the individual customer.

PICKING a colour that suits all your bridesmaids can be a chore.

MAUVE - This looks great with any bridal gown, and is also a flattering colour that can work with pink.

Your special day

The picture of love in a classic snap JEN from Jennifer Boote Photography loves wedding days!

“They are by far my favourite ‘work day’.

“The atmosphere is always filled with love and joy and the pace is usually fairly frantic - and I love it!”

Jen said she tries to be her most obvious during both the creative and family portrait sessions during the wedding.

“For the rest, I try to be as un-obvious as possible.

“My goal at any wedding is to capture the moments that can so easily be overlooked - but when captured, form

a big part of the story of the wedding day.”

Jen’s other goal is to capture at least one ‘hero’ shot - the photo that will be treasured forever.

She said she often goes ‘location hunting’ when she find out where a couple is getting married and where the reception is being held.

“After chatting with the bride and groom I like to find a place that I believe would match what they are looking for in their images to help create memories of a perfect day.

“My focus on the day and even in the lead up is the bride and groom getting married.

“I’m very happy to advise on what times are best for photography and what locations will work well, but ultimately I will work with what it is the bride and groom want and like.”

Jen said some of the images she most enjoys capturing are the shoes (his and hers), the flowers, the rings, the perfume or a special item that has been handed down to the bride or groom.

“All of those are important to help document the day, but they also need the moment that happen unexpectedly.

“The moment when the bride takes a deep breath and walks down the aisle, the moment the groom first spots

his forever love, the moment dad’s hand leaves his daughters and passes it on to her soon-to-be husband, the moment when mum cries as she watches her son or daughter make the biggest commitment of their life, and the moment on of the flower girls gets a kiss from the pageboy!”

When Jen photographs weddings, families and children, she looks to capture the unexpected moments so the memories that are captured, form a story for the couple and their family and friends to remember in the years ahead.

“My motto is ‘capturing unexpected moments that become precious

Memories made to cherish forever.

memories’,” Jen said.

Jen is very flexible when it comes to creating that perfect wedding package for each couple.

She recognises that each couple has their own dreams and plans, and offers customised wedding packages to suit each couple.

Jen said weddings are such a joyfilled day and she counts it a privilege to be involved in every wedding she photographs.

“I am extremely flexible with locations and happily travel around the region covering weddings all over Victoria and NSW.”

Capturing those special moments.

Advice for the Buckle in for one wild ride partner sounds like good sense Deadpool Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, Gina Carano Running time 108 minutes MA: Strong bloody violence and sex scene

I MAY be stepping on dangerous turf in this article; however it is one that confronts my clients more than the choice or budget - it is the ‘partner’ factor.

Unfortunately, rarely do I see a couple with exactly the same passion towards high quality of music played in the home. While everybody enjoys music, it is what level of enjoyment they aspire to.

My article today is to assist the other half to a better appreciation of music available for the home.

The main factor of high quality audio is to bring a sound stage to the home, that is with two speakers to create a third dimension of sound, some call it the wall of sound others the sound stage. This dimension varies greatly depending on the room, the quality of the music on top of the standard of the music system. Through the ’70s and ’80s large speakers and a furniture-style sound system were readily accepted parts of

the living room furniture, however in the modern minimalist fashion the stereo has been banished to the back shed, spare room or worse - quality music has left the building.

It would be fair to say the dominant quality music buyer is male and with this comes the selling in the home of a music system that he always dreamed of. Music affects us all to different degrees, the stimulus of hearing all of the music is a dream many wait until after the kids have left home when there is a little more time to enjoy the finer things to life.

Unlike the ’70s and ’80s where the dominant speaker has to be a big ugly box, designers today produce speaker enclosures to suit today’s decor.

The European brands like Italy’s Sonus Faber, Germany’s Elac, France’s Triangle and Great Britain’s KEF loudspeakers have taken speaker design and turned it into a work of art.

Australia’s leading speaker brands Richter and KRIX have significantly reduced the size of the speakers for a similar performance.

Even today’s turntables have an air of elegance that fits in with today’s decor.

Music affects everybody to differing degrees, however the final benefit is when you purchase well and the stereo system is balanced, and a full sound is available at normal listening levels and not nightclub levels.

The outcome quite often is the conversion of the partner to a new level of music appreciation and understanding.

If you are one of those people that have trouble understanding what the fuss is all about, make an appointment, spend time on your own, ask whatever the silly questions without the embarrassment - life is too short to be without good music in the home.

MOVIES often don’t live up to the hype but this is a case when it does - Deadpool is Ryan Reynolds at his absolute wisecracking, smart mouthed best.

However it is also the Marvel universe at it’s most adult with plenty of strong bloody violence, a very funny sex scene montage and more than a bit of nudity.

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

This story does not have the cartoonish humour of Guardians of the Galaxy or the heroic daring of the Avengers or the pseudo Shakespearian drama of Thor. This is adult and violent but very, very funny and doesn’t take itself seriously in any way

Deadpool and an Angsty Teen.

- something that becomes evident in the first 10 minutes of the film. The opening credits are brilliantly funny (cast and crew are given an “apt description” rather than their names, including “British Villian” and “Angsy Teenager”).

In short if you know the comic books then this is Deadpool at his purest and probably the closest of the adaptations to their comic book origins.

Reynolds is in his element, in fact it’s hard to know where he starts and the character ends (of course it helps that he’s a fan). He is irreverent and self deprecating and it’s clear he did quite a bit of improvising.

The thing that makes Deadpool different in the comic book

universe is that the character knows he’s in a movie and quite often “breaks the fourth wall” and talks to the audience (at one stage stopping the action to ask if he’s left the stove on or make a crack about the budget not extending to more than two X-Men). It adds to the humour and the fun of this riproaring action movie which hums along despite some fairly dark themes including cancer and torture.

The only downsides are that Deadpool’s plot is a little thin and it relies heavily on violence and action scenes but it’s still fun and just that little bit out of the norm to keep the adult movie goer engaged.

Big chance to act up

Tenors in fine voice THE Australian Tenors are bringing their international show to Albury.

Internationally renowned for thrilling audiences around the world with the power of their beautiful voices they are constantly in demand for television appearances, radio interviews and concerts.

Soloists in their own right, The Australian Tenors combine in a amazingly dynamic display of true Australian talent.

In the great tenor tradition they bring romance and excitement along with warmth and humour to their performances.

The Australian Tenors' versatility spans all genres of the classical tenor repertoire.

Audiences are thrilled by classical arias such as La Donna e Mobile, Nessun Dorma, traditional Neapolitan songs, O Sole Mio and Funiculi Funicular, popular tenor tunes from the golden age of song such as Granada and The Donkey Serenade and beautiful duets including, Some Enchanted Evening (South Pacific), The Prayer (Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli song).

The five tenors and Ms Montez singing Time to Say Goodbye (Con te Partiro) made famous by (Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman), Amigos Para Siempre (Friends for Life) from the Barcelona Olympic Games, I Dreamed a Dream from the worldwide smash hit Les Miserables.

An absolute stunning program that encapsulates the spirit, the beauty and vocal demand of truly authentic tenor voice.

A performance from The Australian Tenors is never complete without the ever popular Waltzing Matilda, Australia My Country (Dorothea Mackellar poem), I Am Australian, among other favourites.

Their vocal artistry and powerful stage

presence have set them apart from the others, and their ability to connect with an audience earns “bravos” and standing ovations wherever they appear.

The Australian Tenors have performed extensively with Opera Australia, Australian and International Symphonies and Philharmonic Orchestras.

The Australian Tenors are Stuart Neilson Kemp, Murray Mayday, Thomas Strong, David Hamilton, Gavin Lockley. Support vocalist, the ACE award-winning Vocalist of the Year Monique Montez.

Backed by The Southern Cross Orchestra under the direction of musical director and conductor Bernard Walz.

PEOPLE aged 16-25 who identify as potential professional actors and theatremakers have a fabulous opportunity to join HotHouse Theatre’s Studio 2016.

Auditions for The Studio will be held next Monday and Tuesday 15 and 16 February, and Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 February, from 3pm into the evening.

HotHouse artistic director Lyn Wallis said The Studio model had given students from the region a solid foundation to pursue further studies and careers in theatre and creative arts.

"From last year’s Studio Ensemble, Acquila Sorensen will study at the Victorian College of the Arts, while Ayesha HarrisWestman will study creative writing at RMIT," Ms Wallis said.

However, Ms Wallis said the skills developed through being part of the ensemble extend beyond performance.

"In 2016 The Studio will research and perform At The Hip, which will be written by acclaimed documentary theatre-maker, Roslyn Oades. I am thrilled to be directing this show, which will focus on the unique twin-city cultures of Albury-Wodonga," she said.

The 10 selected studio actors will learn interview

and recording techniques, identify and interview members of the Albury-Wodonga community, and then perform a range of characters using Roslyn’s unique headphone verbatim techniques.

Studio 2016 actors will participate in weekly classes, intensive workshop and creative development periods culminating with performances of At The Hip in November.

"We are looking for young performers who are not only up for a fantastic performing challenge, but are interested in learning about and working with our communities, and helping to make a show from the ground up," Ms Wallis said.

Ms Wallis said there were no fees for Studio training, tuition and participation, but the production required a big commitment of time, talent and energy.

"This is an outstanding opportunity for a talented group of young people to stretch their artistic wings.

HotHouse is very proud of its commitment to supporting emerging talent in our communities," she said.

Australia’s favourite Guy

By TANIA PHILLIPS GUY Sebastian has headed out on his first regional tour in more than two years and hits Albury on Thursday 18 February.

With a new hit single set to be released in November 2015, Guy will be showcasing new songs from his forthcoming album and performing all his hits.

The “You...Me...Us” Tour will see Guy, Australia’s most successful artist of all time performing in a new intimate format like you’ve never seen him before.

Guy Sebastian is the only Australian male artist to have ever achieved six number one singles and two number one albums in chart history.

Born in Malaysia in 1981, he moved with his family to Melbourne, Australia at the age of six.

After turning 10 his family moved to Adelaide, which they were to call home for all of Guy’s teenage years. Guy’s interest in music started at a young age, taping his favorite songs from the age of four. It was at the age of 14 that Guy started singing.

Over the course of his career has received 22 ARIA Award Nominations including Single of the Year, Best Male Artist and Best Pop Artist, and won the ARIA Award for Highest Selling Single for Angels Brought Me Here and Who’s That Girl.

Altogether, Guy has released 11 top-10 singles, and three other top-15 singles. Six of those singles have achieved multi-platinum certification, including the eight times platinum Battle Scars. With 42 platinum, three gold certifications and combined album and single sales over three million in Australia, Guy has one of Australia’s best success stories.

And in August 2013, Battle Scars went Platinum in the US, with Guy being one of few artists in Australian music history to achieve this.

Guy Sebastian hits Albury on Thursday 18 February.

In 2003, Guy became the first Australian Idol winner, capturing the hearts of Australians with his uniqueness and incredible vocal talent. His first solo single Angels Brought Me Here debuted at number one and was the fastest selling Australian single in ARIA chart history.

The smash hit single also reached number one in New Zealand and four Asian countries, and he was subsequently invited to sing as a guest at

American Idol in 2004, proving Guy is a world class talent.

His debut album Just As I Am once again dominated with record breaking sales. The success carried effortlessly into his second album, Beautiful Life, where Guy took more control of his craft, giving audiences a clearer perspective on his work without the weight of Australian Idol in his shoulders. Beautiful Life went Double

Platinum earning him another number one single Out With My Baby, which also scored him a 2005 MTV AVMA for Best Pop Video. A sell-out live tour showed the country he was more than just an as-seen-on-TV star with big hair - he was a genuine musician who oozed talent.

Having sold a staggering half a million records, Guy released his third album Closer To The Sun in September 2006. The album has to date reached platinum status and continues to sell strongly with three singles having being released.

In 2010 Guy toured the US and Australia, worked as a judge on Channel 7’s hit television show The X Factor, and also received six ARIA nominations for the 2010 ARIA Awards.

In November 2010 Guy released a retrospective ‘greatest hits’ hits package called Twenty Ten. The single Who’s That Girl and the album both went straight to the top of the ARIA and National Airplay charts and within four weeks had both reached Platinum sales. Twenty Ten was Guy’s sixth consecutive Platinum selling album.

Aside from his music, Guy enjoys a reputation as a person of the highest moral values and integrity. He is an official ambassador for The Red Cross and World Vision, and also supports the Royal Children’s Hospital, Sydney and The Royal Melbourne hospital.In late 2013, Guy and his wife Jules established The Sebastian Foundation and the collaborative nature of the organisation will see both Guy and the Foundation work in conjunction with a range of different benevolent organisations both nationally and on a global scale in order to create a lasting change in the lives of the less fortunate.

Guy Sebastian - “You...Me...Us”.

When: Thursday 18 February 2016, 7pm.

Where: Albury Entertainment Centre, 525 Swift Street, Albury.

More inside than you expect

IN the year to 31 December, Mildura in the state’s north-west had the highest number of residential sales in regional Victoria.

The latest REIV data shows 567 homes were sold in the northern Victorian town last year, with a median house price of $250,000. This turnover was 52 per cent higher than any other town in regional Victoria in 2015 and up 23 per cent on sales in 2014.

Traralgon in the south-east corner of the state also recorded a high number of sales transactions in 2015 with 372 homes sold - a 21 per cent increase over the same period in 2014.

Traralgon, in Gippsland, had a median house price of $300,000 in the December quarter, up 2.9 per cent on September figures.

The coastal town of Ocean Grove was also popular with buyers last year with 277 sales, 14 per cent more than the previous year. The town also recorded median house price growth in the last three months of the year, rising 1.2 per cent to a median of $527,500.

Sales growth was also recorded in Warragul in West Gippsland with 270 homes changing hands over the year for a median house price of $345,000. This was up from 212 sales in 2014 - a 27 per cent increase.

Nearby Drouin with a median house price of $338,000 also performed well with 226 homes sold over the year. This represents sales growth of 28 per cent over the previous year.

Other regional centres seeing high transaction volumes in the 12 months to the end of December were Torquay with 250 sales and a median of $626,000; Highton with 241 sales and a median of $496,000; Wodonga with 225 sales and a median of $290,000; and Horsham with 221 sales and a median house price of $250,000.

Most of the homes were sold by private sale, which is the most popular method of selling homes in regional Victoria. In 2015, more than 95 per cent of homes in regional Victoria were sold privately.

By comparison, in metropolitan Melbourne about 67 per cent of homes were sold privately.

Weekly Real Estate Building that doesn’t cost the earth Albury Wodonga’s Property Guide

By MONIQUE KUZEFF A SUSTAINABLE home not only saves the environment but also saves you money over the life of the building.

A sustainability rating of 8.5 stars, exceeding the standard 6 stars, is just another feature why Elmwood stands apart from the rest.

This week, in our fourth part of a 12-part series we explore what makes a high performance house, which makes Elmwood a national leader in sustainable housing.

Two busloads of architects left their busy schedules in Melbourne and came to Wodonga to study why this development stands out from the rest.

The high-performance Elmwood housing runs on virtually no energy and is built at the highest level of sustainability in Australia.

Through extensive consideration of sustainable principles and directional placement of buildings, installation of water tanks, double glazing, high ceilings, fire resistant roof and walls, insulation and solar hot water systems, Elmwood aims to ensure a life-long energy rating of up to 8.5 stars.

Standard building methods can produce up to 30 per cent waste, but the finely tuned Elmwood process has brought this figure down to around one per cent through a vigorous recycling program.

One of the major principles of Elmwood was to reduce the environmental impact.

This began in the earliest days of the planning and development of the estate and is evident when you visit the site today.

In an environmentally friendly Elmwood home you would require minimal, if any, additional heating or cooling energy input and would be helping to reduce the carbon footprint.

Public Speaking Can Be Fun! These are the skills that the Albury Wodonga Rostrum Club has been teaching for 53 years.

Public speaking is a skill, like learning to play bongo drums, and it is just as much fun. Experience over a long period has shown that everyone improves dramatically using a combination of tuition, practise before a sympathetic audience and coaching.

Rostrum also teaches meeting procedure and chairmanship skills (which are sadly lacking in the general community). If you need proof of Rostrum’s ability to help people you could note that in the past decade five councillors from three municipalities have joined. Three of them have become mayors.

The Rostrum club meets on the first and third Thursdays at the Commercial Club Albury from 12.30 to 1.30 pm Ring 02 6024 3986 or google Rostrum Albury

Local Sport Bowlers the heroes

By TANIA PHILLIPS LAVINGTON’S bowlers were the heroes as they helped secure first innings points over Albury on day two of their Cricket Albury Wodonga game at Lavington Sports Ground on Saturday.

Jethro Menzies finished with 3-32 and Ryan Brown 3-32 as Albury crashed to be all out for 124 chasing Lavington’s first innings of 212. Jerim Hayes was the only one to offer any resistance with the bat, top-scoring with 30. In reply at stumps, Lavington were 4-95 with first innings hero Bradley Dalbosco scoring 36 not out.

Meanwhile, at Les Cheesley Oval, Tallangatta took the points against Wodonga.

Chasing Wodonga’s first innings total of 189, Tallangatta made hard work of it early and were struggling at 5-62 before captain Matt Armstrong (66) and James Weighell (81) steadied the ship in the middle of the innings to steer them to first innings points and a total of 9-251. Byron Hales was the best of the Wodonga bowlers with 4-59.

Meanwhile, East Albury have claimed first innings points over New City at Alexandra Park.

Setting their opposition 9-193 to chase last week, East Albury’s bowlers ripped through the New City batting line-up with Cameron White taking 4-32 as New City crashed to be all out for 96. At stumps East Albury were 3-18 in their second innings.

North Albury took the points over Belvoir at Bunton Park who had looked to be in a strong position after making 265 in their first innings.

However, it wasn’t enough to stop the rampaging North Albury batsmen with captain Brendon Simmons mak-

In the remaining game, St Patricks were big winners defeating Wodonga Raiders outright at Xavier Oval.

Wodonga batted first last week making 150 which was never going to be enough against the might of St Patricks who, led by 136 by Neil Smith and 65 from Kori Stevenson, put on 5-296 declared.

The St Patricks bowlers then finished the match off, dismissing Raiders for just 66 - 80 runs short of making their opposition bat again. Wayne Hawking was the star with 4-21 while Kane Arendacikas finished with impressive figures of 3-2.

Three-peat for Atkin

By DEAN THOMPSON THE eve of Valentine's Day was yet another night of sensational Speedway action at Wahgunyah Speedway with the Victorian Production Sedan title going to Quenslander Tim Atkin for the third successive time.

Mornington Peninsula-based racer Daryl Hickson won the ‘Rumble on the River’ for Dirt Modifieds which headlined the program on Saturday 13 February.

Production Sedan racing is starting to regain some legs in the North East and Riverina regions and to have 30 race drivers converge on Wahgunyah for the Victorian title goes a long way to re-instate confidence that the division is on the up once more.

Drivers from Queensland, right throughout NSW, Mount Gambier in South Australia and across Victoria made the show.

Nine heat races determined the title race starting positions and victories in the heats went by way of Stephen Laidlaw, Tim Atkin from Gympie in the Sunshine state, Darren Snowden, Atkin again, Corowa local Trevor Mills, Josh Arthur from Brisbane, Atkin once more, Laidlaw again and Leeton’s Danny Harrison.

Atkin and Laidlaw lined up at the front of the field for the title with Arthur, Mills, Wayne Bourke, Harrison, Snowden, Darren Pumpa, Dehne Sparrow and Jacob Mills rounding out the top 10 starters while further back in the pack Wangaratta’s Raymond Ussher, Leeton resident David Lord, Adam Wilson who started in 15th, Wagga’s Brad White and Leeton’s Nathan

More cyclists up for the challenge

Hawkins all started.

At the green Atkin and Laidlaw along with Arthur put some distance between themselves and others. Incidents and breakdowns started to affect the numbers including Jacob Mills while in fourth suffering front end breakage and slamming into the turn two wall, taking his car out of action and Laidlaw catching fire in the engine bay and finishing in the infield also.

For a racer who had never been on Wahgunyah prior to the night's racing Atkin motored along nicely at the front and Wilson was picking off racers every lap as he moved into contention for a top three finish.

The chequered flag unfurled with Atkin taking win number three in succession from Harrison, Wilson, Trevor Mills, Ussher, Damien McAlister, Craig McAlister, Lord, Orchard and Sparrow.

Local Corowa race driver Steve Milthorpe was instrumental in convincing his division to come racing at his home track and his family business put up the cash to make the race that little more important.

Milthorpe suffered some mechanical issues in the hot lap session and was given the opportunity to race another competitor’s car for the night, thanks to Craig Wicks. Milthorpe then stormed to a first heat of the night win before Daniel Scott and Daryl Hickson won the remaining two races.

No racer likes to lose races and especially on their home track and MIlthorpe and Hickson battled away at the front in the feature race ‘Rumble on the River’. Hickson would finally put

Sports Sedans were competing in their annual club feature race and the boys got ‘toasted’ by the girls. When the final was on the only male racer mixing it up with the Ladies was John Patton, and in fact he had the lead after admittedly passing below the pole line as he went on to cross the finish line ahead of the girls before the Stewards advised him he was penalised two places for making that pass.

Wodonga woman Georgette Meunier was then awarded the win from Fleur Heiner, Patton, Brendan Eames and Darryl Joosten. Earlier Beechworth brothers Liam and Jimmy Powell won heat races as did Shane Frost and those three looked the most likely for the final until all suffered mechanical issues and finished out of the results.

Junior Sedans competition was fierce between the top three especially while others had their own little battles raging and it was a return to the winners list for Rutherglen racer Jack Milt-

horpe who defeated Toby Carmichael, Daniel Powell, Rick McAuliffe and Hayden Glare.

Unfortunately, some divisions were unable to complete a feature race final due to time constraints and in these cases the results were determined on qualification points from the heats.

The Goulburn Ovens Sedans Association podium went the way of Corowa local Clint Henderson from Ross Richardson and Ross Maclean with Henderson in his having a great run a week after being torn to pieces at Wangaratta Speedway.

The top three in the Standard Saloons were Chiltern-based driver Warrick Howie from Brendan Eames and Andrew Robl while in the Ladies racing Tangambalanga-based racer Fleur Heiner defeated Kylie Creek and Alyce Iaria across the line.

Racing returns to Wahgunyah Speedway on 12 March for the Bob Bailey Memorial for Production Sedans, Queen of the Murray for Open Ladies Sedans, Grand Prix Midgets and track championship rounds for Standard Saloons, Goulburn Ovens Sedan Association and Junior Sedans.

THIS year’s Johnsons MME Lake Hume Cycle Challenge on Saturday 27 February is exceeding organisers’ expectations with registrations already up 50 per cent compared to the same time last year.

“To date we’ve had an unheralded number of riders registering their intention to participate with the majority signing up for the big 131km ride from Albury to Granya and back,” ride director Colin Maginnity said.

“This means there will be large numbers of riders traversing the Murray Valley Highway, Murray River Road and Bonegilla and Bandiana Link Roads via Tallangatta and Granya.”

Motorists are urged to pay special attention for cyclists and to give them at least one metre clearance upon passing, more if travelling at over 60km/h.

Cyclists are urged to wear high visibility tops, ride with care and consideration of other road users and to obey all road rules.

“It is a mandatory requirement for all riders to read the road safety rules when completing their entry and naturally we expect all road users will pay respect to each other,” Mr Maginnity said.

Sergeant Cameron Roberts from Victoria Police urged caution during the racing.

“With larger than normal numbers of cyclists on these roads, we urge motorists to drive with caution and not to overtake unless it is absolutely safe to do so,” Sgt Roberts said.

“Drivers should anticipate they will come across cyclists around each corner and drive with caution. They should not assume the road ahead is clear.

“Conversely, cyclists need to ride no more than two abreast and keep to the left hand side of the road as much as possible. Everyone’s co-operation is integral to the success of the event going forward.”

Riders will depart from Noreuil Park, in Albury, from 7am until 9am and are expected to be in the area for up to four hours completing the various ride routes.

Organisers expect up to 1000 cyclists will be participating. There are four routes for road cyclists which will see them starting from 7am and then finishing in Albury at Noreuil Park via 131km to Granya, 100km to Tallangatta or 40km to the Hume Weir Wall.

An option for families or those wanting a more relaxed experience is the 5km, 10km or 14km riverside walk or run along the Murray River Trail to the Wonga Wetlands starting at 9.30am.

For organisers from the Rotary Club of Bellbridge Lake Hume this is the 16th year that they have run the event which raises funds for the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre.

“We’ve got it down to a fine art that’s for sure although this year with more riders participating we have had a greater focus on rider safety working with councils and both the Victoria and NSW police,” Mr Maginnity said.
