DURING his youth in the Melbourne suburb of Noble Park, Cam Buchanan looked to be heading down a well worn path of gangs, crime and aggression, like so many boys his age. A difficult childhood had left him hostile and antisocial, and when he was at school, he felt “heavily misunderstood” by his teachers. But thanks to the caring and help of some members of a Dandenong church, he and wife Jen have spent years working with youth all over Australia to change their lives for the better. “My life changed when I got into a church environment,” he said. Beginning with learning life skills and anger management, he thrived, and as he started to take more control of his life, he started thinking about serving the community and helping to fulfil the needs of others. He met Jen at a pub in Frankston, and said that when they met they were from two different worlds. But they soon realised they had in common a passion for helping others. He began working at a church in Frankston as a youth pastor, and said it was a steep learning curve, from working with young people who had admitted to suicidal thoughts, to teens with drug problems. continued page |

create standout features. Ladders make wonderful display stands creating a vertical garden. Timeworn wheelbarrows can be given a new lease of life and planted out. Old rusted garden tools can be repurposed as garden art, hung on the outside of shed walls, or utilised to construct an out of the ordinary garden gate. They can be used as supports for plants to grow up. Even screen doors and old bed frames can be used to make a unique trellis or garden divider with plants rambling through them. Mirrors add dimension and create an optical illusion increasing the depth of the space. These look great on a wall, or near a water feature. Old window frames and shutters can be used to beautify a bare wall. Deep window frames can also be covered with wire and planted out with succulents. Make a bold statement by adding a splash of color on walls, garden furniture or structures. Try vibrant colors like purple, blue and red. Recycle, reuse, reinvent and relax. Happy gardening!

INNOVATIVE gardens are more than just plants. They are a collection of landscape items including containers, pots, furniture, fences and individual pieces incorporated for added character. Recycled and reused items can play a significant part in personalising a garden. With a little imagination these can be repurposed into whimsical garden features. Garage sales, op shops and tip recycle shops are great places to source pieces. So too are the council kerb side collections. As the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Old wooden drawers, crates and boxes make interesting window boxes or planters. Metal tins, colanders, even old saucepans and kettles can be reborn as plant containers with succulents, bulbs or flowering annuals. They can be left as is to create a rustic look or painted in vibrant colours. Tea cups and tea pots filled with plants bring a new meaning to high tea. Old crockery can be broken and used as mosaic pieces to decorate and add color to containers or tables. Garden tools can be recycled to

FEATURE STORY
from page |
“There were some really full on things in the early stages,” he said. Jen said that after their marriage, the couple discovered that they could not have children, but this news firmed their resolve to spend as much time as possible helping the community. “We adopt our community as best we can,” she said. It was not long before the pair relocated to Western Australia, working with troubled youth in the suburb of Armadale, and sometimes Kalgoorlie. “We had no clue what we were in for,” Cam said, adding that it was a rough neighborhood where drug abuse and assaults were rife. But eventually, youth and community alike warmed to the couple, and it was the beginning of their SWAT (Students With A Target) program, which they have established in Wangaratta since moving to the area four years ago, working at Wangaratta High School. The program aims to get children reengaged in school and learning, and keep them on a productive path, and locally is implemented with most students entering high school as part of a wellbeing program. Cam said he has been amazed at the change in some of the children who the Buchanans have helped through the program – from youth gaining apprenticeships and jobs,

to young women gaining work in the mines and even one young charge who has since twice been named apprentice of the year in Western Australia for his work as a chef, and another with a theology degree. He said he was passionate about improving the lives of young people and giving them the tools to create good lives for themselves. “There’s a desire to carry on the stuff that worked with me,” he said, adding that he aimed to be a positive male role model for everyone he worked with. “We can be a consistent presence in kid’s lives, a consistent, positive voice,” Jen explained. The pair said that today’s youth, particularly rural youth, had to deal with a number of difficulties,
including the difficulty of finding and securing a job, uncertainty over their future in general and the minefield that is social media. They said they spend a lot of time discussing social media with the youth they work with, including the importance of filtering the information you choose to put online and being careful about the tone you use. “It can be read right, or it can be read wrong,” Cam said. As well as being involved in the SWAT program, the pair run the Wangaratta Baptist Church and its All Star Youth program, which takes place on Sundays from 4pm. More information is available on the All Stars Youth or Wangaratta Baptist Facebook pages, or www. wangarattabaptist.com.au, or by calling (03) 57229389.
DOGS can be affected by a number of neurological diseases, one of which is seizures. Seizure activity can range from mild disorientation all the way to collapse with paddling of the legs. In the event of your dog having a suspected seizure, stay calm. Do not put your fingers in their mouth – their tongue will not cause them any problems, and you may lose a finger! Keep your dog in a quiet environment, ideally on a soft surface. Try to time how long the seizure lasts, and write it down. If your dog is not coming out of it within 5-10 minutes, you should contact your vet. A dog may have a single seizure in their lifetime. Others may have recurrent seizures, which may get worse with time.
Following a seizure your vet is likely to do a thorough check up, and may recommend blood tests and possibly anti-seizure medication if seizures recur. Seizures can be caused from a number of problems including infection, cancer, epilepsy, poisons, trauma, metabolic disease and organ failure. Multiple tests may be required to determine the cause of seizure activity in any dog. If you suspect your dog has had a seizure and you would like more information, you should contact your local vet. Seizures can often be well managed and affected dogs may go on to lead long and happy lives. Joanne Williams, Wangaratta Veterinary Clinic

FISHING FOCUS
CATCH OF THE WEEK
WHAT A CATCH: On Sunday morning when most 15 year old young men were still wrapped up in their blankets, Will O’Connor was out and about chasing Murray cod in the Kiewa Valley. This was the only fish Will caught on Sunday, but what a beautiful dark clear water cod.
Name:
Buster Challman, Wangaratta
Catch:
Flathead.
Size
76cm (caught and released)
Bait:
The Bega River at Tathra.
Location:
Corker of a time fishing ON Saturday afternoon my mate Brett Corker fished the Ovens River here in Wangaratta where he managed to land two Murray cod and lose three, all in the space of just an hour or two. Brett said that it was the hottest Murray cod fishing that he had experienced all season. On Sunday afternoon I joined Brett to fish the same stretch of the Ovens River, and between us, in a 2.5hr period we caught.......nothing. In the space of 24 hours the superb Murray cod fishing had gone from riches to rags. Brett, who is a very switched on cod fisherman observed a sharp rise in the barometer on Saturday afternoon which is why he decided to go fishing.
BY ROB ALEXANDER, WANGARATTA
The barometer peaked out at 1021hpa. By the time Brett and I fished on Sunday the barometer had dropped back down to 1011hpa. Whether this switched the cod off, or just a coincidence I am not sure, but it is certainly worth noting. Something else worth noting is that while we were fishing on Sunday we bumped into a couple of really nice young blokes who were bait fishing and managed to land a 50cm cod right under our noses, using cheese for bait. Great work by them.

So there are still cod waiting to be caught. Speaking of cod being caught, Will O’Connor of Beechworth reports that the cod fishing in the Kiewa Valley has been ticking over okay. The trout streams across the region are a hell of a mess with quite a few of them now dried up. It is truly heartbreaking to see streams that were once amazing trout streams bone dry. The Middle Creek, Rose River, 15 Mile Creek at Greta south etc... to name a few. The trout will be holding out in the deeper holes which still have water in them, but if we don’t get some decent rain soon the immediate future of local trout fishing is not looking great.

CARDIOVASCULAR health is a specialised medical area, but many symptoms persist despite patients being medicated. There are also pre-medical heart and blood flow signs: - High or low blood pressure - Heartbeat irregularities - High cholesterol/overweight - Short of breath, chest pain - Dizziness, light headedness - Headache/poor memory - Cold Hands and feet - Weak or swollen veins - Fatigue or lethargy - Stress/emotion - General pain and inflammation All these are common symptoms. Most medical heart issues today and many of the above symptoms are well managed, however, patients still often say they feel unwell - aches and pains, feeling flat, fatigue, stress and low mood are very common, or being overweight or pre-diabetic despite eating what they think is a “healthy eating plan”. The body is an interconnected network of nerves, blood vessels, fluids, ligaments, muscles etc. Every part is connected and every part affects other parts. Focusing on just the heart with treatment may only address one organ or system of the body.
WITH NATUROPATHS: BELINDA McPHERSON, SOPHIE LORBACK AND MICHELE COSE
As a naturopath, we have a detailed discussion with the patient and use computer scanning technology to check the entire body to find the missing links where the body is not working as a team. Improving weight, reducing stress, referring to other practitioners who assist in alignment of muscles, tendons and ligaments, rehydrating the body and improving the overall energy flow within the body has a big effect on how a patient feels. The heart is a very important organ as it helps give a person motivation and enthusiasm, but without the other body area feeling at their energetic best, a patient may feel “under par”. Let’s face it – being unwell is not a fun thing and often becoming much healthier is put on the back burner because we are “still alive” and “deep down we know what we should do, but we’re a little bit lazy!”. Seeking practitioner support who can inspire and motivate you as well as give you the tools to success will help you live at your healthiest best!

WINE TALK
IN MY KITCHEN
Pfeiffer Wines
Lamb in spinach
2014 Riesling Around $20 WITH ANITA McPHERSON This award winning wine is a terrific example of the variety when it’s young and full of vigor. The color is pale and pure and there is an uplifting aroma of white blossom and lime. The flavor is fresh with firm, citrus fruit and it has a flinty, mineral edge. It also has a wonderful, mouth filling texture which ensures the flavors and balanced acidity resonate fully. While it is very enjoyable right now, especially with seafood and poached chicken, the Pfeiffer family promises it will mature gracefully until 2024. If only there was a guarantee that I will do the same. Visit the cellar door in Wahgunyah or go to www. pfeifferwinesrutherglen.com.au
THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Wangaratta Fire, 1872 THIS fire can be classified as breaking out on the night of March 18. It was quite a serious fire, yet there were humourous overtones. Hugh Cavanagh’s grocery, drapery and produce store burst into flames while a high spirited St Patrick’s Ball and Supper was just warming into life in the
adjoining Argyle Rooms – the ballroom and concert hall of the Council Club Hotel in Murphy Street. At the shout of “fire”, partygoers, overflowing with national fervor and high spirits, burst into action and fought the flames, oblivious of their formal attire. One way or another, the fire was eventually extinguished.

THERE have been a number of inspiring stories recently of people in their later years attempting feats of strength, endurance and courage which would put the average young person to shame. People who continue to work at jobs they love decades beyond retirement age, those who climb mountains or tackle competitive sports, and most recently a dare devil who fulfilled his lifetime dream of skydiving at the age of ninety. That you can be physically fit enough to achieve these feats might be a mix of good luck and good habits, but to have the drive and determination to live life to the full no matter what your age is extraordinary. When I get to the age that being issued with a 10 year driver’s licence seems a little optimistic, I hope I’ll still be putting down bottles to age like Pfeiffer Wines Riesling.

CHILD’S PLAY: An active Easter egg hunt can help burn off excess energy.
Keep your health and weight in check this Easter EASTER is just around the corner, and nutritionist and vice president of nutrition and education at Atkins Nutritionals Inc, Colette Heimowitz, has a range of tips to help people plan a healthier Easter long weekend. - Include energetic activities in your long weekend plans. Organise an Easter egg hunt (for novelty items, not just chocolate eggs), play a family game of soccer, go for a walk or a bike ride, or clear the loungeroom for a Twister tournament. - Make low carb choices and base your Easter menu around seafood, plenty of leafy green salads and low sugar fruit for dessert. Good Friday is a top day for seafood, and fish, prawns and crustaceans are low in carbohydrates and high in protein, vitamins and minerals, as well as being an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. - Eat regularly – three regular sized meals plus two snacks each day over the
Easter break, or if you prefer, have four or five small meals. Eat until you’re satisfied, but not stuffed, as eating every few hours maintains blood sugar and energy levels, and helps keep your appetite under control. - Enjoy foods with natural fats, such as avocado and salmon, as they are filling, will keep you satisfied longer, and help the absorption of important fat soluble vitamins like A, D and K. - Opt for low sugar treats, or get together with the family to whip up your own low sugar delicacies. - Select wholegrain hot cross buns, or make your own low carbohydrate hot cross buns at home (recipes at au.atkins. com). - Give – and request – small gifts, rather than chocolate eggs for Easter. Games, books, DVDs and toys can help create a fun and entertaining long weekend.
AS I researched my topic for this week, I was reading an article “Infrastructure Investment” in my CPA journal which I found to be of great interest. The article says the world now needs an extra US$57 trillion of infrastructure investments with a plan to set up a Global Infrastructure Hub to be based in Sydney which will help improve the degree and quality of infrastructure investment. At the meeting in Brisbane the G20 leaders – the people governing the world’s biggest economies – committed to a plan to boost global spending on infrastructure by at least UD$2 trillion by 2030. They claimed that could add $600 billion to world output and create 10 million jobs a year. The Hub has been given a four year mandate to lower barriers to investment, help identify investment ready projects, assist in matching investors with opportunities and improve the capacity of countries to attract and support investments. It will get a seven member board chaired by an Australian representative and a US$15 million annual budget. The G20 wants the hub to investigate and share the knowledge and expertise of governments, private corporations, banks, financiers and development organisations about how to plan, evaluate and build infrastructure. Ernst & Young’s global infrastructure leader Bill Banks says it’s an opportunity to popularise Australia’s emerging model of infrastructure development. While spending on infrastructure is often portrayed as an unalloyed good, the facts speak differently. Not all infrastructure projects are alike, and some can cost more than any benefits they are likely to provide. The Australian model has an independent statutory body that identifies, assesses and advises on nationally significant infrastructure projects. But while the Hub should be a repository of knowledge and shared experience E.Y’s Banks thinks that for some countries it’s real value, at least initially, will be in operating as Infrastructure
By KEN CLARKE, WANGARATTA CERTIFIED PRACTICING ACCOUNTANT
kenclarke11@bigpond.com Australia’s global equivalent. To improve the quality of infrastructure decision-making, the G20 has already recommended that countries commit to the establishment of national infrastructure agencies, along the lines of Infrastructure Australia and Infrastructure NSW, to rigorously access and prioritise projects. But even having independent umpires in place won’t necessarily solve the problem. Their recommendations are non-binding, so governments can choose to ignore them. Just a decade ago, the central Chinese city of Chongqing was seen perhaps as an industrial backwater, largely unknown to the outside world. Today it’s a global manufacturing powerhouse, churning out a quarter of all the laptops made worldwide for companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Sony. The Chongqing municipality is now home to 28 million people. Whilst some of this change can be put down to the broader forces that have transformed China over the past 35 years, as well as special tax arrangements and a skilled workforce. But it’s hard to escape the idea that Chongqing’s infrastructure – including massive river ports and an 11,179 kilometre long railway with a direct route to Duisburg in Germany must have helped its growth. And it’s also apparent that cities like Chongqing face challenges as they seek to expand the supply of transport, power, water, schooling and health services for their growing number of residents. And to think of the barbs I received when I suggested Australia’s future was in agriculture, and that we should all be looking at a Very Fast Train link to Darwin to get our produce into Asia, this is a prime example of infrastructure programs we should be pursuing right now.
