ANITA

A DIFFERENT way of addressing conflict and building lasting personal relationships, known as restorative practices, has made a splash in the North East. The Wangaratta High School community was recently involved in workshops and learning with former NSW police senior sergeant, Terry O’Connell OAM. He first began to use the problem solving framework as a young policeman in the 1970s, when he was on the receiving end of a coward punch attack from a violent repeat offender. Rather than charge him and put him through the justice system, which would have seen the offender spend further time in custody, Terry sat down with the perpetrator and his mother to talk through the incident and the effect that it had had on him. It transpired that the young man was dealing with a lot of anger from the death of his father, and Terry said the meeting ended with the perpetrator realising the consequences of his choices for his family as well as himself – including the pain he had caused his mother. Some 15 years later, the pair ran into each other again, with the former angry, violent youth transformed into a law abiding family man. “He never, ever got into trouble again,” Terry said. According to the former officer, restorative justice was a way of building healthy and lasting relationships between people instead of simply reacting to a situation. “It shifts focus from behaviours and blame, to harm and relationships,” he said. Lesley Milne, a member of the leadership team at Wangaratta High School, believes in the workshops. continued page |

Bougainvilleas

TRANQUIL: Anne Biglin keeps an eye on her green garden.

FOR a sun loving, drought tolerant plant that flowers throughout spring, summer and into autumn, nothing beats Bougainvilleas. With their brightly coloured petallike bracts surrounding small white tubular flowers and heart shaped leaves, Bougainvilleas create a dramatic impact in a garden. Bougainvilleas originate from tropical South America, Brazil, Argentina and Peru but can adapt to a wide range of conditions and are found worldwide, with over 18 species and many cultivars. In cooler regions like the North East, they need protection from heavy frosts while young, but become more frost tolerant as they mature. The original and most common is Bougainvillea glabra which has purple bracts. It is extremely vigorous climbing to heights of up to 30 metres. Other varieties have been bred, including dwarf bougainvilleas which only grow to height of around two metres. These are suitable for growing in pots and containers. Medium growing varieties, marketed as Bambino, are also available. The colour range has expanded to include shades of pink, red, orange, white, burgundy and purple. These vigorous plants thrive on neglect, needing little water or fertiliser. Over watering and over fertilising can result in lots of feral growth

What’s in your garden: I have lots of succulents that I cultivate and make displays out of. The garden as a whole also features a range of plants, including cannas, native species, shrubs and trees. What do you enjoy about gardening: The peace and tranquillity, and creating a nice space to relax and enjoy life. Favourite plant/spot in your garden: On our deck, especially

in the evening sun. I have two or three spots that I can go and sit. Water saving/ conservation tip: Our main garden looks after itself, everything else is watered only as needed with a hand held hose. Your tips to keep gardens in top shape: Deadheading is essential to keep flowers looking good. The same principle also works well for other plants, such as parsley.

producing sharp thorns on the branches and very few flowers. Feed bougainvilleas with a phosphorous and potassium based fertiliser in early spring, before flowering to encourage flowering and intensify the bright coloured bracts. This also stops leaf and thorn growth. To keep them in shape, prune back immediately after flowering has finished. Hard pruning of bougainvilleas is not recommended, as it makes the plants go into a strong, vegetative growth phase producing long, curved thorns in the leaf axils rather than flowers. If your bougainvillea is already thorny and too big, you may have no option but to prune heavily. After pruning apply a phosphorous and potassium based fertiliser which will slow down vegetative growth and concentrate on flower production. Bougainvilleas grow in most well drained soils and prefer a sunny position for the best flowering. Bring some vibrant colour to your garden with these easy to grow plants that will reward you with flowers for many months. Happy gardening.

VETS CORNER

FEATURE STORY

from page |

1

Obesity and your pet OVERFEEDING our pets can sometimes be all too easy to do. Whether we give them extra treats during the day, or feed them large home cooked meals, too much food, or the wrong type can lead to health problems with your cat or dog. Obesity among cats and dogs is a huge problem in Australia. Dogs are more likely to be overweight than cats with 41 per cent found to be overweight or obese in a survey by the RSPCA. Having an overweight pet decreases their quality of life as well as shortening their lifespan. Overall they will end up leading a less energetic, playful and happy life. Carrying that extra weight around means that your pets joints have much more strain put on them. This predisposes the joints to osteoarthritis (also called arthritis or OA) which decreases movement in the joint and causes pain. You may notice your pet looking stiff when walking around and they may avoid jumping up or going up and down stairs. Just like in humans, being overweight predisposes pets to heart and liver disease as well as diabetes and means that there is more risk associated with any surgery.

How do I know if my dog is overweight? Just putting your dog on the scales to get a weight isn’t much help as there is so much variation between dogs. Looking at the body condition score of your pet can help determine whether you’re on the right track or if you need to cut back on the nibblies. You should be able to easily feel your pets’ ribs when you run your hands over them, but not see the ribs through the coat. Also check if your dog or cat has a waist. They should tuck up on their belly near their back legs when you look at them from the side, and when looked at from above you should see a slight tuck in of their abdomen. How do I get my pet to lose weight? Ensuring that your pet is on the correct diet is the first step to achieving the correct weight. Extra treats should be cut out if your pet is overweight. Veterinary pet food diets have a feeding plan on the bag; make sure you are only feeding to your pets’ weight. This can be split into two feeds, one for breakfast and one at dinner time, but only feed the amount on the packet as the total for the whole day (for example if the

packet says a 20kg dog requires 2 cups of food, you could give 1 cup each meal). Also ensuring that your pet is getting enough physical exercise is important, regular walks for dogs and playing with toys with both dogs and cats can help increase their activity. If your pet is very overweight then a specially formulated veterinary weight loss diet might be needed initially. A good quality dry pet food that says ‘complete and balanced’ is really all your pet needs to eat. If you prefer to make cooked meals, make sure they get some dry food as well. Cutting down the meal sizes, and getting rid of the in between snacks is a good way to decrease your pets’ weight. It’s up to you to make sure your pet can have a healthy, happy life. Always check with your vet if you have concerns about your pets’ weight and they will help get you started. Felicity Miller BVSc, Wangaratta Veterinary Clinic

PASSING ON KNOWLEDGE: Terry O’Connell discusses the advantages of restorative practices with Wangaratta High School students (from left) Declan Meloury and Justice Scott. PHOTO: Kylie Wilson

“As a whole school community, these workshops enable all of us - students, their families, their teachers and support staff - to use the same language in order to understand what people are feeling when there is conflict,” she said. “It allows people to tell their story and have their grievances heard, as well as enabling people to build strong relationships going forward. “We will continue as a school to keep developing with restorative practices. “It’s a way of being, a way of living.” Among the students to learn more about restorative practices recently were students Declan Meloury and Justice Scott. Declan said he had already found the techniques learned during the recent school

workshops useful in his own life, adding that it was a helpful and different approach to problems, instead of trying to find a scapegoat. Justice said it had helped him become more open to other people. “It taught us how to open up to new people…instead of shutting down,” he said. “It helped me understand a lot of things.” Wangaratta High School principal Heather Sarau spoke in glowing terms about restorative practices. “It’s a great opportunity for everyone connected to our school community,” she said, noting how it was especially empowering to young people. More information on restorative practices is available at www. realjustice.org.

FISHING FOCUS

CATCH OF THE WEEK Name: Jorja Wyatt, Myrtleford Catch: Murray cod Size: 54 cm Bait/lure: Cheese Location: Caught in the Buffalo River before being released back into the river.

FUN ANGLING: Six year old Holly Alexander with a small redfin she caught last week in a small dam. This is the time of year that the redfin fishing usually starts to pick up.

Rivers on the improve THE rivers seem to be settling down nicely after recent thunderstorms and associated rain events. There is still some off-coloured water around, particularly in the lower reaches of some of the waterways, namely the Ovens River, however much of it is now clearing out and by the second half of this week the rivers should all be looking great again. With some stable weather in the forecast we should see some good Murray cod fishing locally by this weekend. I have heard reports of some decent Murray cod being caught at Lake Mulwala on surface lures. Tony Bennet from Lake Mulwala Fish Camp Ski reported two Murray

BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA

cod over 100cm in length being caught on surface lures last week, including a massive 120cm cod which was caught off the bank. Tony also reported two Murray cod in the 90cm size range that were also caught on surface lures. Wade Gladstone at Benalla Bait and Tackle reported that a few Murray cod have been caught in the Broken River, particularly after last week’s flush, however, most of the cod were quite small and bardi grubs were the best baits.

With Lake Buffalo and Lake William Hovell both at less than 85 per cent of capacity and dropping, now is the time to head out and chase some redfin. Both lakes should drop reasonably quickly over the next couple of months provided we do not get too much rain. As the water begins to cool, and the lakes get lower the redfin fishing should pick up. Both lakes have already been producing a few smaller redfin recently. Lake William Hovell has a lot more redfin than Lake Buffalo, and they are easier to catch, however, Lake Buffalo has larger redfin and offers a good chance at picking up a Murray cod or a yellowbelly as a by-catch at this time of the year.

Back to school anxiety

Deadpool[MA15+] 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.

THE first days and weeks of school are both a relief for parents and a massive excitement for children beginning a new year at school. However, for some children this is a time that heightens anxiety leading to fatigue, sleep issues, toileting issues and behavioural issues in general. Some children experience uncharacteristic bursts of anger, shyness or need for attention. Naturopaths’ top tips to reduce anxiety in school aged children… For prep age: Serve your last night’s dinner to them as an after school snack. Children are normally ravenous by 3.30 and are happy to eat a larger amount during this time. Then at dinner time offer snack foods such as yoghurt, fruit, nuts and seeds, dips and vegetable sticks etc. Normally by 6pm children of this age group are exhausted, cranky and not really interested in eating a large meal. Changing when they eat their main meal for the short term ensures they are receiving vital

Make breakfast count. The school day is a long one; ensure that children begin their day with a breakfast that will keep them going well into recess. Try a protein packed muesli such as Mojo’s muesli with unsweetened yoghurt, poached/ boiled eggs on wholegrain toast with avocado, porridge with cinnamon and honey, buckwheat and blueberry pancakes (these can be made ahead of time

and frozen), protein rich smoothie with frozen banana, milk, honey, cinnamon, LSA, chia seeds and berries. Adequate rest: Ensure children are receiving restful restorative sleep. Keep after school time quiet and relaxing. Reduce after school activities during the first term and ensure that children have the option for a nap during their days off. Seek advice from your healthcare professional to safely and efficiently reduce stress and anxiety for both you and your children.

WINE TALK

IN MY KITCHEN

Campbells of Rutherglen

Pancakes with strawberry and passionfruit

2015 Trebbiano Around $18 THERE is a clever little program on the telly hosted by British television presenter Dawn Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Porter which celebrates the classic style that can be found in vintage fashion. Interspersed between the host taking punters trawling through second hand clothing shops in search of treasure, are little insights into why certain styles drifted in and out of fashion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to see how someone with a keen eye can transform a forgotten frock into a one off wonder, in an age where everything has become mass produced and largely disposable. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of nice to know that something which was much loved has been totally refreshed, and is being appreciated all over again. I think of it when I spot a wine variety like Trebbiano and taste Campbells of Rutherglenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 version.

WITH ANITA McPHERSON The first thing you notice is how fresh and vibrant it is, with a bright clear colour and fruity floral aroma. It was bottled without any oak maturation to retain those super fruity characteristics. Its flavour is all fruit; reminiscent of nashi with its mouth-watering juiciness, and backed up with a twist of lime and a beautifully balanced, savoury finish. This is a terrific summer wine to enjoy at lunch with food, especially if it were to include a platter of seafood or some soft shell crab. As Dawn says, there is good reason some styles become classics. Visit the cellar door or find out more at www.campbellswines. com.au.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY

Influenza outbreak, 1919 THE border between Victoria and New South Wales was closed with dramatic suddenness on January 30, 1919. An outbreak occurred at Barnawartha early in February, with 10 cases reported, two

showing the pneumonia symptoms which complicated the effects of the influenza and made the epidemic so difficult to treat. The outbreak hit Wangaratta badly, in spite of mass innoculations, and by

April, 35 were in hospital and deaths were occurring from the disease. By the middle of the year, the epidemicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effects had diminished, and the isolation ward at the hospital had closed.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

So you are not really a gambler I WONDER if you are hiding the fact that you do have a gambling problem and getting deeper and deeper into debt? I have been around the traps for many moons and am yet to see a person who makes money from gambling. I can talk from experience in that my father, who served overseas in the RAAF in WW2, came home with a huge gambling problem which wouldn’t go away. Even as a youngster I did morning paper rounds and sold the Herald in the afternoon to try and help repay the debt my father accumulated on his beloved horses. Heaven forbid if we had had poker machines in those days. I was reading an article the other day where way back in 2010 the Productivity Commission estimated there were 160,000 Australians with a serious gambling problem

By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT

kenclarke11@bigpond.com and a further 360,000 at risk of developing a problem. Some five years later, I wonder what the statistics would now show? Poker machines account for three out of every four problem gamblers. Promotion of on-line sports betting and mobile technology that makes gambling more accessible 24 hours a day and expose gamblers to even greater losses are adding to the already serious problems caused by poker machines. According to the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, national expenditure on gambling

between 2009 and 2014 grew 10.8 per cent to $21.1 billion. The excuses for being late home only become obvious in hindsight; heavy traffic, having to go back to the shops because I forgot something, met a friend and had coffee or having to stay back at work. But all the while, family savings are being gambled away, secret credit cards are maximised, finance company and payday lender debts are accruing and, sometimes a partner discovers a second mortgage on the home. Family members can be completely unaware of the problem and often don’t find out until the bank comes with the foreclosure notice. While free professional help is available, it appears that only one in 10 problem gamblers take up counselling and other support services.

The Australian Psychological Society estimates that for every person with a gambling problem, five to 10 others are negatively affected by it. Problem gamblers lose on average $21,000 each year. But case studies collected by problem gambler researchers show that often a windfall such as a redundancy package or the sale of the family home can result in tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars being lost on pokies and online betting. Sydney financial counsellor and Territorial co-ordinator of the Salvation Army’s Moneycare program, Tony Devlin, says no matter how precarious someone’s financial situation, there is always a solution. “Any problem is surmountable.

So after reading this article and deciding that you may have a gambling problem - seek help. Hotels and clubs have gambler’s help brochures available for the taking. Remember, it is not only you who is suffering. Think about what the family are missing out on such as family outings, new clothes and sometimes a change of school for the children, as there are insufficient funds to keep them at their present school. They probably do not understand what is happening.

Want to bring a small or large group to the races and want your own space? A private Marquee is the perfect base. Private Marquees start at $25pp and can be upgraded to include entry, food and drinks!

Stay in the shade trackside under the shade of a 3 metre market umbrella! Situated along the home straight you will be amongst all of the on course action and entertainment. Includes Umbrella, 2 patio tables and seating for 10 people.
