Firey vow signed By MONIQUE KUZEFF

Member for Benambra Bill Tilley, Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Brad Battin sign the CFA pledge. 149727 Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF “There have already been 300 callouts and many of those call-outs go to fires with the Wodonga career firefighters. Member for Benambra Bill Tilley said government had an important responsibility to look after its people and not to discriminate against anyone. “We’ve got a strong group of volunteers that give service for free - no charge for the protection of our community,” Mr Tilley said.

VOLUNTEER fire-fighters not only help save communities, they save the State Government more than $1 billion dollars a year. So why aren’t they being offered the same presumptive legislation cancer compensation and protection as career fire-fighters? Yesterday (Tuesday), Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Brad Battin, Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Member for Benambra Bill Tilley visited Wodonga along with Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV) to sign a pledge to support CFA volunteers in a vote for non-discriminatory presumptive legislation for all Victorian fire-fighters. Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Mr Battin said it was vital that the State Government offered volunteers fire-fighters the same protection. “It is looking to bring in the Tasmanian model, which is discriminatory against volunteers and favours the career fire-fighters,” Mr Battin said. “We must have equal rights between the two as they are fighting the same fires at the same time and they contribute largely to protecting the community. “Daniel Andrews has to explain to these volunteers as to why he is going to let them down against career firefighters.” While Queensland and South Australia have already passed the presumptive legislation for fairer and simpler cancer compensation for volunteer firefighters, NSW and Victoria are still fighting for the same right. With about 300 call-outs in Wodonga, Mr Battin said those volunteers worked in collaboration with the Wodonga career fire-fighters and were assets to the community. “Wodonga is a perfect example as to why volunteers should be recognised as equal to career fire-fighters.

“All the volunteers I’ve met throughout the North East, both men and women, are dedicated to protecting their community and we saw this before Christmas when the call to arms came and we saw huge support and resilience from volunteers.” Mr Tilley said the CFA volunteers should be equally recognised for their work and service towards their community. VFBV State Councillor for District

24 Graham Cocks said the presumptive legislation would be a starting point to cut back criteria to prove when, where and how a fire-fighter came down with cancer. “It could’ve happened 20 years ago and you can’t recall where or how it started, especially if you’ve been in the service and some incidents for over 20 years,” Mr Cocks said. “We don’t want any more excuses, exclusions and delays from the govern-

ment as we’ve been pushing for it nonstop for many years now.” Mr Battin and Mr Guy plan to go to every regional district in Victoria, to ensure that they sign the pledge in each district along with the district’s local member. “We want to make sure that we’ve signed it so we can be held to account that we will support legislation that is equal to both the careers and volunteer fire-fighters,” he said.

By MONIQUE KUZEFF PETSTOCK will be holding a pet adoption day in it’s Wodonga and Albury stores from 10am to 2pm on Saturday 6 February, and welcomes all those pet lovers and potential owners who are interested in the care and rehousing of rescued dogs. With the contribution and support from local rescue groups including Albury Wodonga Animal Rescue (AWAR) and Wodonga Dog Rescue, there will be plenty of dogs and cats to meet and choose from on the day. Owner of the Lavington and Albury Petstock stores Shane Evans said the initiative, led by Petstock’s charity leg Petstock Assist, in conjunction with notfor-profit animal rescue organisation PetRescue, aims to raise awareness of pet adoption and encourage people to consider giving a rescue pet a forever home. “We want to raise awareness that there are animals that can be adopted and you don’t have to get a pup, you can get a dog that’s past the silly stage,” Mr Evans said. “They’re all checked by the pet rescue groups to make sure they’re suitable to go to a home. “If these pets don’t get rehoused, they don’t end up in a nice place at all.” Mr Evans said pet adoption day is a good way to rehouse animals who have been given up for various reasons. “Reasons why they have been abandoned include things like lifestyle changes, health and financial reasons, time restrictions and also the training,” he said. “We want people to know that pet adoption is available and is an option.” According to PetRescue co-founder Vickie Davy, more than 100,000 pets were killed in pounds throughout Australia last year. “By welcoming a rescue pet into your home you may be saving a life,” Ms

Before being adopted out, rescued pets are de-sexed, vaccinated and treated for parasites as well as having undergone a prior comprehensive veterinary and behavior assessment.

Davy said. “Adopting also allows people to find a pet most suited to their age, lifestyle and living arrangements.” Last year on pet adoption day, Albury Petstock rehoused eight dogs, while Wodonga Petstock managed to rehouse nine. Mr Evans said it was a very successful day, and he hoped that number could be exceeded this year. “I’ll be extremely happy if we could

SHOOTERS, boxers, motorbike riders, basketballers, netballers and water polo players are among the flood of finalists who are in the running to be the winner of the Young Achiever of the Year Award, presented by the Sport Albury Wodonga Norske Skog committee. A field of diverse sports players who have accomplished outstanding sporting achievements have been nominated for the annual award, making it a very tough decision for the committee to come to this year. Sport Albury Wodonga President Rob McDonald said he was pleased to see the support from parents, committees and sporting groups in putting forward young sport achievers for the award. “We usually get more than the 12 nominations which we require but it’s great to see all the support that young sportspeople are receiving,” Mr McDonald said. “It a difficult task to decide on a finalist as all of them have achieved a tremendous amount over the last 12 months as far as their performances are concerned.” The award has been going for almost 20 years, with vital sponsorship from Norske Skog who this

Mr McDonald said the winner was awarded a cash prize and each nominee would receive a voucher entitling them to one term of tuition at the North East and Border Academy of Sport. “Through the tuition, a professional will examine them and determine what they need in order to go further with their sports and what will enhance their opportunities,” he said. “It’s fantastic to have such an award to give to young sportspeople out there where they can put it on their resume so their work and efforts are recognised. “It highlights the achievements of the young athletes in the Albury and Wodonga area and the prizes help to assist them.” Mr McDonald said anyone was welcome to attend the awards night, which will be held on Friday 26 February at the Commercial Club, Albury.

Short-term supermarket plan By MONIQUE KUZEFF BEECHWORTH’S Memorial Hall may well become a potential interim supermarket for the town while a new Ritchies establishment is being constructed, ideally within the course of a year. About two weeks ago, a recklessly lit fire took down the town’s only supermarket, causing a significant inconvenience to Ritchies employees and the community. It was discussed last week by Ritchies and the Indigo Shire Council

that the town couldn’t go on without a supermarket, as it provided jobs and stimulated economic activity. Indigo Shire Mayor James Trenery said the supermarket functioned as an important economic stimulator in town and created employment for 50 supermarket staff. “It’s a community asset, it provides jobs, it stimulates economic activity, and it is an outlet for locally-grown producers,” Mr Trenery said. Further reasons why the Memorial Hall was discussed as a possible temporary supermarket was the position

and the size of the property, Ritchies CEO Fred Harrison said. “It is definitely a preferred option because of its practicality, but there are still other options we are looking at,” Mr Harrison said. “The majority of employees will be able to keep their jobs, while some casuals have already taken up other jobs with other businesses around the area. “Most part-timers will maintain their roles and these are the main reasons why we must get a pop-up supermarket in town - we need to continue

our local economic activity and keep our jobs.” Mr Harrison said the ultimate decision as to whether the Memorial Hall would be utilised would be made by council. Furthermore, technical issues that would come as a part of using the hall would need to be more thoroughly considered. “It’s not going to be easy but a lot of it will be plug-in fridges and we might require a small generator. “We are in a tragic circumstance

here and it’s not our choice to have to trade anywhere but at our first site so we are trying hard to come up with a suitable alternative." Mr Harrison said that both Ritchies and the council would have to do some comprising on behalf of the community. “Unfortunately, you can’t make 100 per cent of people happy 100 per cent of the time,” he said. “It’s only a short-term situation and it’s important we serve those who have jobs, mortgages and families here by providing a good service in the community and supporting our staff.”

This Guy is on right track By MONIQUE KUZEFF VICTORIAN Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Coalition MPs arrived at Wodonga station on the V/Line train yesterday afternoon to discuss the local issues that have plagued the service. The North Eastern rail line has been subject to much inquisition over an extensive period of time, with ongoing issues that are halting its progress. As a regular rail traveller across Victoria, Mr Guy said it was important for the State Government to experience the North East line by taking the train more often. “I’ve done this ride a couple of times now with Bill Tilley (Member for Benambra) and I believe it’s years ago when the train still went into Wodonga,” Mr Guy said. “It’s good to get the train around regional Victoria and it’s a shame the minister doesn’t take it more often because he might learn first-hand that it’s not what it’s cracked up to be.” Mr Guy disagreed with the Andrews Government’s intent to cut expenditure from country roads and bridges and to spend a large proportion of money exclusively on the Frankston line. “You don’t govern for all Victorians by spending the proceeds of the biggest privatisation in the

state’s history on just one railway corridor. We need some of those proceeds to come to regional Victoria.” Mr Guy said the Coalition Government wanted to focus on upgrading regional rail lines to ensure regional Victoria had a first-class rail service. “There seems to be a lack of focus from the Labor Government on our country rail service, which needs a lot of upgrading. “Clearly our rail service in regional Victoria is not up to scratch compared with a comparable regional service in New South Wales and Queensland for instance,” Mr Guy said. “It’s not 100 per cent and we know that it needs to be improved, there needs to be some focus on V/Line transport away from just the Traralgon, Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong lines. Mr Guy said there continued to be further reviews and consultations regarding the North East line, which the Minister for Public Transport had started up again, but regional Australians wanted to see action. “There has been a view that the North Eastern line has been predominantly a Federal Government problem, but the state has a role to play. “When we were in government, we fought very hard with the Federal Government to upgrade the railways south of the Border. It’s not

Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy said there should be more focus on upgrading the North East train line. 149714 Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF perfect and we know that but it’s certainly a long way from where it was from 2010,” he said. Mr Guy said the Liberal and National parties were focusing on plans which were going to form the crux of decentralisation policies. “My guarantee is that we will see some clear policy - very clear policy,” he said.

“In the way of not just rolling stock but rail infrastructure in regional Victoria which needs to be upgraded for our state’s future and indeed Melbourne’s sustainability. “The kind of service which is going to be necessary for population growth outside of Melbourne.”

Some relief in sight for new TAFE students By MONIQUE KUZEFF

The Good Guys general manager Luke Sims with Shaun and Darrell Jones who distributed the hay bales to Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF farmers. 149547

Good guys bale By MONIQUE KUZEFF ITâ€™S appropriate to say The Good Guys Albury really are good guys, having donated 100 hay bales to farmers whose farmland and livestock had been affected by the recent and vicious Barnawartha fires. What were initially used as barriers to corner off the car park area for a discontinued items sale will now be used to feed the farmerâ€™s live stock after paddocks upon paddocks of farmland were wiped out by the December fires. The Good Guys general manager Luke Sims said he had bought the hay

bales off Gumtree with the intention to put them to good use after they had served the purpose. â€œFrom the start I had thought, 'well, where the hell are we going to put them afterwards?â€™,â€? Mr Sims said. â€œThey had to go somewhere and whatâ€™s a better option than to donate them to people who really need them. â€œI heard about the farmers being really disadvantaged by the fires and it seemed fit to donate to them.â€? Although retail businesses in Albury sponsor and donate items to great causes, sporting clubs and community events, they very rarely have an opportunity to

do something like this, Mr Sims said. â€œWe as a retailer have customers from all walks of life including farmers and we donâ€™t often get this kind of opportunity to give back to them.â€? Shaun and Darrell Jones, who have been distributing hay bales to fire-affected areas, said the farmers were very grateful for the hay bales. â€œA lot of them donâ€™t have any grass at all and were very happy to take it,â€? Shaun Jones said. â€œSmall token stuff often goes by unnoticed but this is a fantastic donation by The Good Guys.â€?

WITH TAFE up and running for the year, more students will be able to enjoy more opportunities after the recent announcement from the Victorian Government that it would sponsor some student funding exemptions. Previously, students who had already received funding for two TAFE qualifications or had already completed a qualification higher than that which they were seeking to enrol in were ineligible for further government funding. This new change enables the Wodonga TAFE to accept more applicants who are wanting to access a TAFE education but who previously could not because of the restricting criteria. Wodonga TAFE CEO Mark Dixon said the new funding exemption was great new for the community. â€œThe financial implications of accessing quality education can often be the difference between someone choosing to enrol in a qualifica-

Mr Dixon said it was particularly exciting for those people wishing to explore new career opportunities. â€œEven if they are fully qualified in one area, they now have an opportunity to not only become qualified in another industry, but do so with the funding support of the government. â€œOur region is facing some significant employment challenges, and reskilling people in areas where there is positive growth in the region is a key element to solving the problem. â€œIf people are struggling to find employment or just wanting to make a change, this opportunity will not only provide them with the tools to achieve this, but do so at a minimum cost.â€? At this stage, funding exemptions will only be accessible to students commencing a qualification in 2016.

With art in their hearts By MONIQUE KUZEFF WHEN the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) was in its planning and design stage, there was a vision that a studio space would be built so people could not only see art but create art. Well, beginning in February, MAMA will be launching a 10-week workshop program, making it the first opportunity to run a workshop program at MAMA.

MAMA Director Jacqui Hemsley said the program would be a chance for adults to interact and be creative with friends at the morning or evening classes. “It’s a great way to get out and socialise with friends, have a coffee and do some art; or those who want to reconnect with their creativity to come in the evening, have a glass of wine and have some fun,” Ms Hemsley said. The 10-week workshop program will be run by talented local artists and will include a number or workshops involving watercolour, oil painting, pastels and live drawing. Ms Hemsley said workshop options included painting for beginners, life drawing, illustration, all media and 'after dark’ lessons for people who could not make it during the day. “I’m going to be doing some of these classes after work as a stress release, just come here, put on my painting clothes, let the world go and do some art,” Ms Hemsley said. “The artists are very experienced tutors so you’ll be able to understand the full technique and know your media. We will also be keeping the classes quite small, less than 10 people so you get really good one-on-one training through these tutors.” Courses are reasonably priced at $190 and includes all art materials in the first three weeks. Artists Vicki Luke, who has been

Local artists Vicki Luke, Frank Burgers and Tracie Macvean will be running the workshops at MAMA. 149443 doing life drawing for over 10 years, said her classes would be very much a low-key and relaxed introduction to life drawing. “It doesn’t matter what kind of experience you’ve had, it’s a very inclusive and warm environment,” Ms Luke said. “Life drawing is addictive and as soon as you get over that initial discomfort of looking at someone you don’t know without any clothes on, it’s actually enjoyable and quite challenging.’

Artist Tracie Macvean, who will be taking on painting for beginners class, said her classes would help people to open up their minds and their creative sides. “Through the simple techniques that I can teach, I’ll be able to help people open up their minds to art and to how complex simple things can be,” she said. “It will also encourage them to view the outside world differently and appreciate art.”

Ms Macvean said her workshops would mainly involve the use of acrylic paints and some water-based mediums and they would be based around colour theory. Artist Frank Burgers has been painting for about 30 years and will be taking on the open media and “Art After Dark” classes. Mr Burgers said he enjoyed guiding people with their art and encouraging them to explore their creativity. “My workshops are far more about

Picture: MONIQUE KUZEFF developing ideas, direction, and a sense of purpose,” Mr Burgers said. “When people are able to shape ideas and make ideas into art, that’s when it becomes a long sustainable passion.” Other artists who will hold classes are Inga Hanover and Charles Sluga. All artists encouraged the local community to engage in the arts, learn the basic art techniques and have fun. For further information visit www. mamalbury.com.au.

Letters Back to school butterflies

Teal knickers on the causeway for ovarian cancer awareness. 149685 Picture: CONTRIBUTED At the luncheon there will be the launch of the Kelsey Watts Memorial Ovarian Cancer Research Grant and presentation of the first cheque to the Albury Wodonga Cancer Trust. This inaugural event will be interesting and educational, particularly as about one third of people will be diagnosed with a cancer before they are 85 years; better research funding

could lead to better treatment or even a cure. This is the first time speakers of the calibre of Professor Bowtell have attended Albury Wodonga for a presentation. This meeting precedes the official opening of the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, which is planned to open later this year.

I STILL get butterflies in my stomach when I think of my first day at school. The anticipation of seeing friends, and a few people Iâ€™d rather not face, finding out who my teachers would be, all that homework, study and exams. Ok, perhaps they were knots in my stomach. But those nerves werenâ€™t all bad, they were also about excitement and anticipation for the year ahead. For over 3.6 million students across Australia heading to primary and secondary school over the next few weeks there will no doubt be plenty of butterflies. While some students seemingly cruise through the whole thing, whether theyâ€™re starting school for the first time, moving to a new school, starting high school or heading back for a new class, some young people find it a very challenging time. And letâ€™s face it, it can be tough for us as parents too. For some children itâ€™s particularly difficult as they face extra pressures like getting the best grades, or dealing with bullying, and others may be dealing with mental health issues like anxiety or depression. If you are a young person with something going on, or a parent with concerns about your child, you donâ€™t have to handle things alone. Headspace, the national youth mental health foundation provides support for young people aged 12 to 25 who are struggling with their men-

tal well-being. General mental health and well-being resources can be found at headspace.org.au. For online and telephone support please visit eheadspace. org.au or call 1800 650 890, which is staffed by qualified youth mental health professionals, and available between 9am-1am EST. Wishing you and your families a happy and healthy school year ahead - may those butterflies in your stomach be gentle, kind and full of promise. Chris Tanti, CEO, headspace.

Valentine’s Day

Advertising Feature

For that special memory

Don’t waste a single day SURE, we have 365 days a year to show our affection to ‘that someone special’. However Valentine’s Day is one day of the year where you make your loved one top priority. To make the day special, you need a special valentine’s gift. Choose from an array of gift ideas for your loved one, male or female, from beautiful flowers, roses or chocolates to jewellery, perfume and lingerie. We have included some ideas to make your day extra special. 1. Buy a beautiful gift basket or hamper and take your valentine on a romantic picnic to a secluded place. Roll out the rug and have some fun feeding each other. 2. Does your valentine like reading? Purchase a book about relationships or how to spark up your relationship, snuggle up together with a glass of wine and chocolates, read a chapter to each other. 3. Weekend away for two. Sweep your partner off their feet with a weekend away for two. With some advanced planning, taking a short break is a great way to spend Valentine’s Day together. Find a nice hotel and organise dinner and breakfast as part of the deal. Often around Valentine’s Day, hotels offer specials that include a free bottle of champagne and love heart chocolates on arrival. There are many choices you can make when booking a romantic weekend away. These include booking a room with a large spa, pre-booking a massage for the two of you, or booking your own waiter to serve your meals in your room. 4. Local wineries. Organise a day trip for you and your valentine to some local wineries.

Pre-plan a picnic lunch and buy a couple of bottles of the local wine to enjoy with lunch. Pack a blanket and find somewhere secluded to enjoy lunch together. Wineries often have large grounds so there is always somewhere private to enjoy lunch with your valentine. If you enjoy a drink, organise a driver for the day, or better still organise a limousine to take you there and home again. It may cost a bit of money but your valentine will never forget it. 5. Cook a beautiful home-made meal. If you live separately to your valentine, organise for them to come over and cook them a beautiful home-made meal. Set the table with candles and rose petals and dim the lights. Offer your valentine a drink on the way in and then sit down for dinner. Try a dessert like chocolate-coated strawberries and feed each other.

6. Recreate your first date together. Where did you go? What were you wearing? What did you talk about? Who made the first move? Spend the evening reminiscing and reflecting on how far you have come as a couple. What have been your major achievements? Write down 30 favourite memories of your life spent together so far. Valentine’s Day is special for many reasons and no matter if you are in a committed relationship or have just started dating, you can select and change the activities listed above to ensure you have the best Valentine’s Day ever. And if you don’t have a valentine to spend time with on Valentine’s Day, then search ahead of time to find one. Good luck and happy Valentine’s Day!

At Wodonga Gardens, Dan and Joan found their new home. “We don’t have any maintenance and we made lots of new friends. It’s really improved our lives.”

All about the convenience By MONIQUE KUZEFF ALL the way from the outback of New South Wales, Riverwood resident Barb said the change from a life on the farm in Hay into residential Albury had been one that she did not regret. With a daughter who lives in town and another who resides in Cobram, Barb said the location and independence she had at Riverwood appealed to her from the beginning. “I wanted to move closer to my daughters,” Barb said. “It didn’t take me long to make up my mind that I wanted to move here, “I had looked at other retirement villages and decided I liked this one best. With the convenience of medical assistance, a hairdresser, library and a shop within a manageable walking distance, Barb said she was taken by the accessibility of the different services. “If I need a couple of little items, the shop is just around the corner,” she said. With larger walkways and spaces to move around, Barb said the general layout of her two-bedroom apartment was a drawcard. “I liked the north as-

pect of the house, the size of the rooms and the fact that there wasn’t too much garden. “Everything is very convenient about the house and I’ve got a second room for my computer and for when my children visit.” Barb said her garden in Hay was much too big for her and that was one of the reasons she sought to move. “I couldn’t manage looking after it, and here I’ll still do the garden but the good thing is it’s much smaller.” Riverwood is a friendly and welcoming retirement neighbourhood with plenty of social things to see and do, including Australia Day and Melbourne Cup events. “There are a lot of things to do and you can go to as many as you’d like, it’s up to you to choose what you want to go to,” Barb said. With friendly residents and helpful staff, Riverwood makes the perfect neighbourhood that allows its residents to maintain their own independence, with the convenience of great services not too far away.

Seniors grant shows some vision VISION Australia Albury and Albury City Council have been fortunate to receive a portion of funding from the State Government as part of the NSW Senior Festival Grants Program to help with preparations for the week that celebrates the older generation. A share of $950 went to notfor-profit organisation Vision Australia Albury, while Albury City Council obtained a share of $400. Vision Australia Regional Manager for Riverina NSW and North East Victoria Helen Vey said the organisation was delighted to receive the money to help provide further services and activities for the festival week. “Given that we are a notfor-profit organisation, we were thrilled to have been given some funds to provide the community with activity for events like this so we can improve our contri-

bution,” Ms Vey said. Ms Vey said the funds would help out with the expo and forum that were expected to run during the week of the senior festival. “We want to provide an expo around different tools, services and equipment that will help people who are blind or who have low vision. “The forum will teach people about life skills and show different techniques that might help them overcome their vision concerns.” Ms Vey said the fund would enable them to provide a better expo for older residents on the Border. “It’s really important for older people to be aware that there is facilities available that could help them live more independently as their vision declines. “We will be showcasing magnifiers, canes and different techniques.

“There is a lot of anxiety that comes with losing vision and hearing sense,” she said. Ms Vey said the festival gave the organisation the opportunity for everyone, including the younger generations, to understand the needs of seniors. “I think it’s important that the State Government is providing this funding as it gives organisations the chance to show what they provide to the older generation which we wouldn’t be able to do without the grant,” she said. Other organisations within the region that will receive a share in more than $200,000 worth of funding across the state include: Howlong Country Golf Club, Holbrook Meals on Wheels Service, Holbrook Library Complex, Urana Shire Council and Greater Hume Shire. NSW Senior Week will be held from 1-10 April. For further information visit www. nswseniorsweek.com.au.

Your oven and you: a cleaner relationship THE Ovenu service is a full cleaning and detailing service. First they complete a preclean 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. There was an occasion last year when the back panel of a fairly new oven was removed by the Ovenu technician and it was discovered that the element had corroded, through the use of caustic sprays by the previous home owner and it would have been “live”, a very danger-

ous situation had the power not been switched off. Staff 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 to 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 polish applied to seal the surface and make it easier for the client to keep the interior clean with bi-

carbonate of soda and vinegar. They can even remove those annoying streaks that get between the glass on the oven door. All products 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. They also clean barbecues, ranges, rangehoods, microwaves and cooktops. So give Gina or Jamie from Ovenu a call to get a fixed quote on returning your oven to new.

ESCAPE to the amazing world of IWA Pro Wrestling, Billed as a family fun, action-packed live show the event, at the Commercial Club on 12 February features heavyweight matches, women’s matches, tag teams and daredevils. International Wrestling Australia (IWA) is dishing out more fun, more action and more excitement than has ever been seen in the over 100-year-old Australian pro-wrestling circuit. Above and beyond the standard live sporting event, this adds elements of theatre and comedy. IWA’s live shows are action-packed and exceedingly entertaining. They have performed at hundreds of venues across Australia. The IWA team have held over 1000 events at venues such as Wonderland Sydney Theme Park, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra Royal shows, and toured their show overseas successfully in Tahiti and New Caledonia. The men and women who create the performance team of International Wrestling Australia are entertainers, but their strength and durability is far beyond that of your average actor or musician. At 250 pounds plus, these men (and women) take up to half an hour of being jumped on, thrown down, pushed over and kicked and still have the strength to pick each other up and then do it all again the following night. At any given IWA Pro Wrestling show you can expect to see a good mix of about six to 10 wrestlers, from small masked high flyers to giant superheavyweights. IWA Pro Wrestling plots comical, often very funny storylines that are relevant to Australian audiences. It’s a different routine at every IWA Pro Wrestling show new bouts, new plots, new gimmicks and new talent. There is always a lot of pos-

Getting into the spirit. ing going on, lots of body oil and lycra to be seen. There are grand entrances, great music, the referees, the announcers and so much more - IWA Pro Wrestling is an amazing experience that must be seen live. The whole performance is audience interactive and so provides something extra for those who want a little more fun when they go and see a live show. The wrestlers are a mix of international and local performers. IWA pro wrestlers are well-defined and easy to follow characters, making it enjoyable for audience members to pick and choose favorites and easy to identify the baddies. “We offer a fantastic live action adventure show for all ages.

“Perhaps the biggest difference between pro-wrestling and 'real’ sport is that pro-wrestling openly admits to glorifying characters and embellishing storylines,” says promoter and wrestler Mark Mercedes, a 25year pro wrestling veteran who has wrestled for WCW in the USA and major companies in Japan and Europe. Mercedes adds: "IWA Pro Wrestling has been Australia’s number one in sports entertainment for the past 16 years and is often referred by many venue managers as 'Australia’s hottest live touring act'." IWA’s success has surprised many and really revived pro wrestling in Australia - Commercial Club, Albury on Friday 12 February.

which grandpa seeks to open his grandson’s eyes to the wrong path his life has taken. De Niro gets all the lines: Efron is the panty-waist to the old man’s potty-mouth. It’s a film with a much more likeable edge than the very similar - but plain old mean - Bad Grandpa of a couple of years back. While most of the gross-out laughs are pretty predictable, it’s still a mildly diverting ride with more giggles than most

films around at the moment. Most people could watch De Niro read the phonebook, and there is something interesting about Efron, although it’s hard to define. Special mention to Aubrey Plaza, who steals the show as a sexually rapacious young college co-ed. If she can avoid being typecast, then this is a young actress with some big things ahead of her. A daring effort. - Jason Beck

From Vegas, back to Oz By TANIA PHILLIPS AFTER five years and more than 1600 shows headlining on the Las Vegas strip, The Australian Bee Gees Show will return to Australia for the ‘The 20th Anniversary Tour', a brand-new show for 2016. This show is a retrospective look at the amazing career of The Brothers Gibb and will be presented in two parts with costume changes defining the eras. The show will feature all of the greatest hits throughout the decades, but will also tell the Bee Gees story in a multi-media show that captures the mood and memories of the time. The Australian Bee Gees Show is currently performing at The Excalibur Hotel and Casino. The group has racked up over 1600 performances on the Las Vegas Strip and has just been re-signed for another two years until February 2018. The Australian Bee Gees Show was recently voted Best Tribute Show in Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Review Journal for 2015 and was the first Australian band to perform 1000 shows headlining on the Famous Las Vegas Strip. After 20 years on the world stage and over 5000 performances in over 46 countries, The Australian Bee Gees Show has evolved to become the definitive live celebration of the wonderful music written by The Brothers Gibb. From their first shows in 1996, The Australian Bee Gees Show has con-

quered Las Vegas and has played to capacity houses around the world, cementing their reputation as an exceptional live concert act and the world’s

leading Bee Gees Show. For one night only, be a part of the magic that is The Australian Bee Gees Show.

Chamber’s sweet sounds AFTER several successful European tours in 2014 and 2015 the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne (Germany) is coming back to Australia in summer 2016 with a powerful and lovely new program. “Classical music the world over” this is the motto of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne. It is irrelevant for their musicians whether they are playing in a little village church, in the open air, in Cologne Cathedral or in the Sydney Opera House - their enthusiasm to play music is the same every time. The objective is simple - they want to inspire as many people as possible across all generations to enjoy classical music. The popularity of their ensemble is reflected in the fact that the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne gives around 300 concerts a year around the globe and listeners throughout the world look forward to a musical encounter with their exceptionally talented musicians. The Chamber Philharmonia Cologne was founded in the city whose name they bear: Cologne. The city that is famous throughout the world for its university of music and its musical and instrumental teaching. Generations of musicians have been trained here for many decades who, in terms of their musicality, are unparalleled around the world. Taking advantage of this pool of talent, a stock of outstanding musicians has accrued that in a changing cast of musicians take their motto across the world. Since November 2009, the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne has a very

Chamber Philharmonia Cologne will be performing at Albury's St Patrick's Church on 7 February. 149425 special partner at their side - the Mercedes-Benz Centre in Cologne. As part of a creative co-operation, this world-renowned company, via its branch in Cologne, thrilled by the musical concept provides the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne with a comfortable tour bus. It enables musicians to travel quickly and comfortably to the many varied concert locations. In return, the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne, in close c-operation with the Mercedes-Benz Center Cologne, organises special concerts for the car com-

pany’s special customers. The remarkable construction of the Mercedes-Benz Centre is transformed in the process into a really top-class concert palace. This results in the smell of new cars mixing with the sounds of classical music. The Chamber Philharmonia Cologne is at home all over the world. Their tours regularly take them to New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Great Britain, Ireland and many other countries and of course to Germany. In this context, the selection of works and soloists takes on a special significance.

Picture: SUPPLIED

The multi-faceted composition of the ensemble provides every member of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne with the opportunity to perform as a soloist. The permanently expanding repertoire of the Chamber Philharmonia Cologne consists primarily of hand-picked pieces. The real appeal of their program lies in the meeting of popular and unknown works from a wide variety of musical epochs. This sees familiar greats like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio

Vivaldi in dialogue with works from people such as Sergei Prokofieff through to the “King of Tango” Astor Piazzolla. This mix promises great diversity of the very highest order, without us having to preach to the audience in the process. After all, music is for entertainment and not for instruction. To inspire people across the world to enjoy classical music - that’s their maxim. Quite simply: Classical music the world over!

Weekly Real Estate Albury Wodonga’s Property Guide

A great investment THIS two-bedroom unit is a great investment, an ideal first home, or an opportunity to downsize. The unit is occupied by good tenants paying $205 per week, and the lease has expired. Vacant possession for an owner-occupier would be possible with the appropriate notice.

It’s appealing due to its location, size, and amenities. The other three units in this block have all sold to owner-occupiers, and this is the last one available. It is in a quiet cul-de-sac position near a large park. Located near Lavington Square Shopping Centre, all the facilities of Lavington’s CBD are a short

walk away: doctors, dentists, and allied health providers; post office and library; bus and taxi services; indoor and outdoor swimming pools; parks and childcare centres; supermarkets, specialty shops, and banks; cafes, restaurants, and hotels; service stations, car washes; and much more.

Buying a home at auction: the tips BUYING a home at auction can be a daunting experience, especially for first time and inexperienced buyers. Below are some helpful tips which will help you prepare for the big day. There’s no such thing as too much research and when it comes to auctions, it’s important to know the market. Research the property type and suburbs you are interested in so you gain an understanding

FOR LEASE

of what similar homes are worth. Look at auction results for the previous six months to give you an idea of how the market is performing. While going to auctions can be tedious, attending as many as possible will give you a feel for the process. Knowing what’s going to happen will give you confidence, which is often a deal breaker when the bidding begins. Take note of any winning

strategies from bidders, and what the starting price was in relation to the winning bid. A ‘cooling-off period’ does not apply to auction sales, so make sure all relevant inspections are completed before the auction. In addition, try to view the property several times before bidding and talk to the agent as much as possible to gain any insights. It’s worth having a conveyanc-

FOR LEASE

er inspect the contract before bidding so you know exactly what is included in the sale - there’s no point risking thousands of dollars to save a couple of hundred. Vendors always set a reserve price before the auction, so don’t be overly excited if the starting bid seems fairly low - it’s common for the opening bid to be just that. If there’s a chance you might get carried away and bid more

236 Plover St, Nth Albury

than you can afford, consider having someone attend the auction on your behalf. This could be a family member, trusted friend, or buyer’s agent. Before placing a bid, ensure finance is available as around 10 per cent of the purchase price is immediately payable. By placing the winning bid you are entering into a binding contract, so it’s essential all your finances are in place before raising a hand.

Just why are they the best? By MONIQUE KUZEFF SO, why was Elmwood awarded The Best Integrated Housing Award for the whole state of Victoria, making it one of the best in Australia? In this second part of a 12-part series we introduce to you one of the many diverse aspects that makes Elmwood such a liveable and awarded estate. Next to the Elmwood Medical Centre is a fresh French inspired cafe which offers the local residents the luxury of their very own 'corner store’. With all-day breakfast on offer, you can still enjoy that sleep-in, however you will probably find that the smell of freshly baked cakes and cookies wafting through your window will get you out of bed earlier than anticipated. Elmwood Cafe owner/operator Heather Murphy-Dale said the cafe was a big drawcard for the locals. “We’ve had extremely positive feedback from not only travellers, but residents who regularly enjoy coming by for coffee and afternoon tea,” Ms Murphy-Dale said. “Here we provide a relaxed atmosphere and gourmet food using my own produce and vegetables out of my garden.” The French theme definite-

ly shines through the rustic and organic interior and the lovely petite courtyard creating a laid-back ambiance. Ms Murphy-Dale said she wanted to slowly incorporate more variety into the menu that will offer restaurant-inspired meals. “The menu is evolving with each season,” she said. "We’ve really enjoyed being part of the Elmwood environment and getting to know the locals." Ms Murphy-Dale said the future outlook for the cafe was bright. “Every day we are working on it and trying to come up with things that will improve it. “We are thinking about running a little gourmet market in the cafe and the courtyard possibly starting in spring, but we are hoping to get it going a bit earlier than that.” With catering options for corporate functions and celebratory events, this little cafe offers choice to Border and Elmwood locals. It’s a great meeting place. Elmwood Cafe is open from 7am to 3pm Monday to Friday, so come in and try it out for yourself! For further information visit the Cafe Elmwood Wodonga Facebook page.

NRL players, envoys make the long trek NRL Community Carnival visits will be in full flight throughout the months of February and early March, with players from the Melbourne Storm, together with NRL ambassadors, visiting Albury and Wodonga to meet locals and educate school students on the importance of well-being. Every NRL club, together with NRL ambassadors, will set out on the road over the next two months, visiting schools and communities right across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. This is the 16th year of the NRL Community Carnival, with more than 250,000 students reached as part of carnival visits in 2015. This year, clubs, players and ambassadors are estimated to travel more than 40,000kms, visit over 1000 schools and conduct up to 80 Junior League clinics. Slade Griffin and Scott Drinkwater along with NRL Ambassadors

George Rose and Alan Tongue will make the trip to Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga on 4 - 5 February to help deliver well-being messages to local communities, with a particular focus on proper hydration and sleep and encouraging a strong sense of belonging. NRL chief operating officer Suzanne Young said the NRL Community Carnival visits were an opportunity for Rugby League to reach out to thousands of supporters and club fans in regional and remote areas and give back ahead of 2016 Telstra Premiership season. “Our fans are the lifeblood of our game, and our clubs and ambassadors do an amazing job in local communities right throughout the year, spending time with kids and educating them on the importance of eating well and staying healthy,” Ms Young said. Players will be joined by NRL game development officers in deliv-

ering well-being programs to locals, which include interactive activities, together with educational resources. Programs are curriculum linked and endorsed by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), responsible for the national curriculum, assessment and reporting of students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Melbourne Storm player Slade Griffin said he was looking forward to the trip and relaying some of the healthy tips that he follows as part of training on a day-to-day basis. “As a player and as a person, it is really important that I keep my mind and my body healthy so that I am performing at my best,” Mr Griffin said. “I am looking forward at getting out on the road, meeting the locals and providing people with some really simple tips to keep happy, healthy and active.” Players and ambassadors will be

armed with two education resources as part of local visits: NRL Wellbeing: delivered to primary school students, focusing on empowering students to value health and well-being in their own lives. Dream Believe Achieve: delivered to high school students, focusing on the important link between having hope and aspirations for the future and maintaining a positive well-being.
